Ye Peigao took a long breath and said with a serious expression: "As long as the Japanese invaders are in China for one day, we will fight for one day. As long as we fight, there will be sacrifices every day. Each battalion company must record the heroic deeds of every martyr and write a letter of condolence. I will recommend that the division commander sign on each letter of condolence and then send it to the family of every martyr."

After saying that, Ye Peigao looked at the bunker he had just built and asked, "Company Commander Qiao, is the bunker strong?"

"Report to the brigade commander, strong."

"Okay, just be strong. You should have experienced the powerful destructive power of the Japanese 150mm heavy artillery and 130mm heavy artillery. The support of the bunker must be strong, and the soil layer above must be thick." After saying that, Ye Peigao looked at the second battalion commander and the fifth company commander.

"Yes, brigade commander!" The second battalion commander Zeng Xianzhi and the fifth company commander Qiao Yunqi replied.

"Comrades, we are the platoon leader of the battalion company and the commander of a unit. Our responsibility is not only to command battles, but more importantly, to be responsible to our comrades and to protect our comrades and comrades. Whether we attack or defend, our purpose is to eliminate the enemy. However, in order to achieve the goal of eliminating the enemy, we must first protect ourselves from being eliminated by the enemy. Therefore, we must use terrain to cover our bodies so that the enemy cannot find me and make their bullets unable to hit me. At the same time, we must also use terrain to make our guns steady and accurate, and strive to eliminate the enemy in every possible way. No one should be a hero, use his body to hit the enemy's bullets and make unnecessary sacrifices."

Hearing this, Tang Jiabao thought of the daytime battle and looked at Qin Weihua complacently. Qin Weihua certainly understood that Tang Jiabao was mocking him for calling them a squad "cowardly". When he heard the brigade commander's words, Qin Weihua forced himself to calm down, but his ears became feverish.

"Company Commander Qiao, you have sent a lurking whistle, have you been sending a whistle?"

"Report to the brigade commander, in addition to the observation guard post on the company's position, I specially designated a lurking guard post and sent a swimming guard post."

"Well, it's not bad! I just looked at the front of the position with Captain Hu and Battalion Commander Zeng. The location of this bunker is quite hidden and the shooting boundary is clean and open. However, the two big trees in front of the formation are a problem."

"I'm going to cut it off overnight." Qiao Yunqi rushes to say.

"Forget it! It's already one o'clock in the morning, so let the comrades take a break." Ye Peigao looked at his watch and said.

"Then this..." Qiao Yunqi said.

Before Qiao Yunqi could speak, he was interrupted by Ye Peigao: "These two trees are likely to become directions for Japanese artillery to indicate targets, so you must be prepared to prevent artillery. Well, I ask you, what will you do if you don't cut down these two trees?"

After saying that, Ye Peigao stared at Qiao Yunqi, obviously wanting to consider the excellent company commander in front of him.

Qiao Yunqi said: "These two trees are more than 100 meters in front of the formation. Because they are close to the trench, the Japanese artillery soldiers are likely to use these two trees as directions to correct the bounce point. Therefore, it is a key point to prepare for anti-aircraft artillery in advance. In addition, the Japanese are likely to use these two trees as forward bunkers, and even dig individual bunkers behind these two trees. They can even use this bunker to throw grenades into our trenches with just one leap forward, which poses a great threat to us. Therefore, we must prevent the Japanese from using these two trees as forward bunkers."

After saying that, Qiao Yun smiled sly and said, "Brig Commander, I have named these two trees No. 1 land object. This area is named the No. 1 target area. It has been calibrated on the shooting map and reported to each row. These two trees form a natural shooting blind spot. The positions corresponding to these two trees cannot shoot at the concealed enemies. However, other places in the entire company's position may use these two trees to lure the Japanese devils, as long as

If the Japanese want to get close to these two trees, the officers and surveillance posts on both sides of the positions will call out the No. 1 target area. In this way, the shooters on the positions on both sides will search for the Japanese who are hidden and approaching according to the command. When the Japanese are small in number, they will destroy him one by one. When the Japanese are large in number, they will come to cross firepower and gather fire to shoot. They must make the Japanese go back and forth. We must turn the No. 1 target area, the temptation position, becomes the Japanese cemetery."

"Okay, Qiao Yunqi, I was ambushing the commander just now! Why didn't I say that at the beginning? What a cunning fox, it's enough for the Japanese to have a pot of fun! OK! OK! If every front-line commander uses his brain like this, why worry about the Japanese not being able to get out of the sea!" Ye Peigao praised, and then he said: "Jiu Yunqi, don't hide any tactical experience. You must pass on the good experience and comprehensively improve the tactical qualities of the platoon leader and squad leader."

"Yes, brigade commander!"

After saying that, Ye Peigao glanced at Yang An meaningfully, turned around and wanted to leave.

Qiao Yunqi then sent Ye Peigao out of the position. Before leaving, Ye Peigao turned around and called Qiao Yunqi in front of him, and said softly: "Company Commander Qiao, this Yang An is the one who Commander Hu is going to come to you. You must use him well and ensure his safety. The division commander only gave him ten days. Once the time comes, we will send the person back."

"Ah! Yes!" Qiao Yunqi looked surprised and immediately responded.

Hearing this, Hu Lian's face showed a difficult surprise, and then his brows frowned slightly.

After Ye Peigao and Hu Lian and his party left, Yang An knew from the four-eyed platoon leader that this brigade commander Ye was not a simple general. It turned out that Ye Peigao was not a general in the Huangpu system, but was outstanding among the 18th Army, who was born in Huangpu. He served as the captain of the 18th Army Cadre Tutorial Center, responsible for the research and teaching of the tactical operations of the cadet team and the application of new weapons. Since then, he has served as the captain of the brigade commander of the 52nd Division, and the captain of the combat section of the Third Route Army General Command. Four years ago, he served as the chief of staff of the 11th Division. In April this year, he was transferred from the position of chief of staff of the division to the 33rd Brigade.

Hearing the introduction of the four-eyed platoon leader, Yang An's eyes were full of admiration.

That night, Ye Peigao returned to the brigade command post at 2 a.m., and sorted out the recent combat situation overnight, forming the "Preliminary Summary and Suggestions on the Battle of Songhu". He summarized the tactical practices and experiences such as ground reconnaissance, team offensive and defense tactics, infantry artillery coordination, team machine gun fire configuration, counter-offensive tactics, combat bunker construction, Japanese artillery and infantry tactics in offensive battles. He also put forward personal opinions and suggestions on related logistics, rescue and other matters.

In the early morning of August 26, this material was submitted to the 11th Division Division headquarters. Commander Peng Shan and other senior officers of the division were greatly appreciated. According to Commander Peng's order, the "Tactical Guidance for the Battle of Songhu" was compiled on the same day with this material as the main body, and mimeographed it to all battalions and platoons of the entire division, providing a successful reference for grassroots battalions and companies to combat.
