"Chief of Staff, please calm down first, don't worry, let me think about this matter carefully!" Zhou Cheng rejected Huang Yonggui's proposal!

Huang Yonggui became even more anxious: "Deputy Commander Zhou, Brother Zhou, I beg you to hurry up. The Japanese will come tomorrow. We still have to prepare today. If we don't leave, it will be too late... Do you want to see the death and watch the National Saving Army be killed!"

Zhou Cheng quickly comforted: "Chief of Staff, where do you want to go? If the skin is not covered, how can the hair be preserved. If the main force of the National Salvation Army is killed, our third battalion will follow in the footsteps."

"As long as I am within my ability, I will never refuse to save you. I will definitely try my best to help you."

"I think your idea of ​​dealing with the Japanese was wrong from the beginning. This battle cannot be fought with guerrilla warfare!"

"Why?" Huang Yonggui frowned and shouted unwillingly.

Guerrilla warfare was the only way he could think of against the Japanese and puppet troops. If this method didn't work, the national rescue army would definitely die.

He stared at Zhou Cheng and asked him to say something, otherwise he would definitely not give up this kind of playing style.

"Don't worry, listen to me to analyze with you!" Zhou Cheng explained.

"The National Salvation Army has no experience in fighting guerrilla warfare. After entering the mountain, the troops will definitely use positional warfare to fight the Japanese. There is almost no difference between entering the mountain and not entering the mountain. The only advantage is that there are more terrain in the mountain than outside the mountain, but it is not enough to change the situation of the battle."

"The second point is that the National Salvation Army is not familiar with the terrain in the mountains. If you enter the mountains rashly, it will not only not be able to achieve the convenience of hiding, but will also restrict their movements."

"The third point, let's take a look at the attacking Japanese. They not only dispatched infantry and artillery, but also dispatched cavalry."

"If the troops give up their positions and retreat in battle, the soldiers will not be as fast as the four-legged cavalry, if they are caught up by the cavalry, they will definitely die even more miserably!"

Huang Yonggui was sweating protrudingly when he heard this, and his face turned pale.

He and the commander did ignore the cavalry. When they heard that the Japanese army had equipped mountain cannons and infantry cannons, they were panicked at the time. They subconsciously thought of guerrilla warfare and regarded guerrilla warfare as a life-saving straw. They did not expect the threat of the cavalry to the national rescue army.

Huang Yonggui has never really fought with the cavalry, but he has heard of their strong combat power. You can imagine the scenes of cavalry and infantry fighting.

More than a hundred cavalrymen rode their horses on the battlefield, waving their sabers, and screaming to chase after the national rescue army...

The cavalry relied on their powerful assault and impact force to rush to the battlefield. With just one assault, they knocked the troops over and overturned them, and then used a saber to slash them from a high place to slaughter the remaining infantry...

The entire battle turned into a massacre. No matter how many infantry the National Salvation Army had, it was not enough for more than one hundred Japanese cavalry to kill them.

The more I thought about Huang Yonggui’s forehead, the more cold sweats were, the more I felt more and more panicked, and I stared at Zhou Cheng: “Deputy Commander Zhou, I can’t use guerrilla warfare, so what should we do?”

"Military advantage, firepower advantage, equipment advantage... are all on the side of the Japanese. Apart from guerrilla warfare, Commander Wang and I couldn't think of any other way to win this battle? Could it be that we just watched the National Salvation Army be killed by the Japanese?"

Zhou Cheng didn't say anything, frowned and thought for two minutes before speaking: "There is another way!"

"Since the first and two battalions of the National Salvation Army are good at fighting positions, then we will use positional warfare to deal with them and make up for their own weaknesses with our own strengths."

Huang Yonggui shook his head: "This won't work!"

"The Japanese brought artillery, and we built all civil fortifications. A mountain cannon shell was smashed down. No matter how good the trench was, it would be razed to the ground. Fighting a position war means that the troops were bombed on the position and died in vain!"

Zhou Cheng replied meaningfully: "Chief of Staff, what you are talking about is a general positional war, which is different from the positional war I am talking about."

"The position war I want to fight is not to defend a blocking position and fight to the death without retreating. Instead, build seven or eight blocking positions on the road that the Japanese and puppet troops must pass. Each blocking position does not need to be too strong, but must repair anti-aircraft artillery holes and machine gun castles."

"The machine gun castle must be hidden in advance and camouflaged. The castle is reinforced with logs and sandbags, which can withstand three or four ordinary mortar shells while shelling."

"Two platoons are guarding each defense line. When the Japanese fire artillery, the troops hide in the anti-aircraft hole. The artillery stops. After the infantry starts attacking, the defensive troops come out of the anti-aircraft hole."

"The Japanese and puppet troops attacked were young, and they were not moved by the scoundrels, and they were repelled by only the riflemen."

"There are many Japanese attackers, so the defensive forces can use machine gun castle."

"After repelling a formal attack by the Japanese and puppet troops, the troops immediately gave up their positions and retreated to the second line of defense to continue fighting."

"If each line of defense lasts for an hour and kill thirty Japanese devils, the ten lines of defense can last for ten hours and kill thirty Japanese devils."

"Although the Japanese are coming in full force, there are only more than 400 real Japanese soldiers, and even fewer infantry can attack, only more than 300."

"Not to mention killing the three hundred Japanese devils, as long as we can eat two hundred of them, the Japanese's attacking edge will be destroyed by us."

"They still have county towns to defend, and they will definitely not fight us to the end."

"As long as the casualties reach a certain percentage, they will withdraw their troops!"

Huang Yonggui understood a little, but he didn't understand one problem. He stared at Zhou Cheng and asked: "We don't have steel and cement. Even if we have it, it's too late to build a castle now."

"I said that machine gun castle does not require steel and cement!" Zhou Cheng replied.

Huang Yonggui's first reaction was that he didn't believe it: "Is there such a castle? He can withstand the attack of several mortar shells without steel and cement."

"Of course there is!" Zhou Cheng affirmed.

"We built this kind of crumbling when we were guerrillas before, using the terrain to dig holes under the ground, and then dig out shooting holes."

"The top of the castle is covered with a layer of logs, then a layer of sandbags, then a layer of logs, a layer of sandbags, and finally covered with soil to make a disguise."

"After the Japanese rushed to the front of the formation forty or fifty meters, the machine guns in the castle were fired at the same time."

"No matter how fast the Japanese react, a light machine gun can kill five or six people at this distance."

"After the attacking troops encounter interception, the Japanese will definitely order heavy machine guns and mortars to cover and shoot, and the infantry will continue to assault us."

"The machine guns in the castle took the opportunity to kill a few more Japanese."

"When the Japanese reacted, the mountain cannons and infantry cannons were ready to shoot. The machine gunners in the castle retreated decisively, and together with the riflemen, gave up their positions and retreated to the back line of defense to continue fighting."

Huang Yonggui believed it.

After all, except Zhou Cheng, he and the commander did not have much experience in fighting the Japanese, so they could only believe him.

Hope rekindled on his desperate face, and he frowned and analyzed: "The headquarters has two main battalions and one guard company."

"If all the strong men in the surrounding area are mobilized, it will definitely be fine to raise three or four thousand people."

"The Japanese will send troops tomorrow morning and will not arrive at the battlefield at least at noon. There are still more than ten hours of preparation time in between."

"I'll go back now and ask the commander to mobilize all the strong men around the battlefield to repair positions for us."

"You said that there are too few ten trenches, at least twenty, and five machine gun castles and three anti-aircraft holes are built on each trenches."

"We will continue to repair the Japanese when the Japanese are coming. Let the troops fight the Japanese in the front, and use the strong men to continue digging trenches, repairing castles, and digging anti-aircraft holes."

"Deputy Commander Zhou, you just stay here to fight the Japanese and puppet troops attacking you!"

After saying that, Huang Yonggui walked towards his war horse, and he wanted to tell the commander this method as soon as possible.

Tang Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu stood by and didn't say anything.

But not speaking does not mean that they agree with Zhou Cheng's decision and agree with his approach.

It was just because Huang Yonggui stayed here that it was difficult for the two of them to speak.

Seeing Huang Yong's back completely disappear from everyone's vision, the two of them vented their doubts and dissatisfaction on the spot, especially Tang Yufeng.

As the deputy instructor of the guerrillas and future instructor, he is the only person besides Zhou Cheng who knows why the guerrillas were reorganized into the National Salvation Army.

I knew very well that even if the guerrillas were reorganized into the National Salvation Army, the two troops were strangers and would not be truly integrated. Maybe they would be able to turn against each other in the future.

The battalion commander just came out with the killer pallets used by the guerrillas to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops and told Huang Yonggui that wasn’t that a disguised increase in the strength of the National Salvation Army?

If the Third Battalion really turns against the National Salvation Army in the future, they will use this method to deal with the Third Battalion, and the guerrillas will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Looking at Zhou Cheng, he couldn't help asking: "Battlefield Commander, even if he wants to help the first and second battalions, he wouldn't tell us about our killer moves against the Japanese! I don't understand?"

Zhou Cheng looked bitter: "I don't want to do it either, but the National Salvation Army can't have any trouble yet?"

"The guerrillas have just been reorganized into the National Salvation Army and have just tasted the benefits brought to us by wearing tiger skins. I also continued to ask the war zone for the benefits. If the National Salvation Army is over, who will replenish the ocean, weapons and ammunition for us in the future, and those medicines that we can't buy even if we have money."

"In addition, the existence of the National Salvation Army can help us share most of the military pressure from the Japanese, and such a scapegoat is difficult to find."

"The Japanese obviously launched an attack with the purpose of swallowing the National Salvation Army in one mouthful. In addition to building more blocking positions and blocking them layer by layer, it consumed a large amount of vitality from the Japanese and puppet troops. I could not think of any other way to help the headquarters with the disaster."

"I have a premonition. Even if I just took out our killer weapon to deal with the Japanese, the headquarters would not be able to hold on for too long."

"The troops have expanded too quickly during this period and there are too many new recruits. This kind of fighting style must be properly coordinated between the troops, and be able to remain calm in the enemy's artillery fire and orders are prohibited. The new recruits obviously cannot do this."

The benefits of the existence of the National Salvation Army are self-evident. Zhou Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu understood it as soon as they heard it, and at the same time they also heard the implicit meaning in Zhou Cheng's words.

As long as the first and second battalions can be saved, the third battalion will bear the greatest price.

When Zhou Cheng heard that a killer move was not enough to get through the first and second battalions, the two of them agreed to look over at the same time, afraid that he would give the headquarters something again!
