"What are you talking about? The 101st Regiment has already held a flag-burning ceremony?"
In the headquarters of the 9th Brigade, Suzuki Shigeyasu grabbed the collar of the staff officer and shouted angrily: "Even if the 101st Regiment suffered serious losses a few days ago, they still have nearly 2,000 people. How could it be possible in just a short period of time?"
Can’t hold on for two hours? How on earth did this idiot Kakubei Yamayama command?”
Looking at Suzuki Shigeyasu's cannibalistic gaze, the staff officer shivered with fear: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the 101st Regiment was suddenly attacked by the Liantai Militia. They first bombarded the 101st Regiment's position with heavy artillery.
Then the chariots rushed forward quickly, and the infantry was interspersed and divided. The 101st Regiment was soon divided into more than ten pieces.
The captain of the Yamagakuregi led the chief of staff and hundreds of remaining soldiers to retreat to a forest. At the end of the fight, there was no choice but to burn the general's flag, and the captain of the Yamagakuregi also had a caesarean section."
"Idiots...they are all a bunch of idiots." Suzuki Shigeyasu roared angrily while slapping the staff officer madly.
"I told him a long time ago that as long as he lasts for an hour... the 100th Wing can join him, but he can't even last this little time. I really don't know how such an idiot graduated from mainland China.
of?"
Seeing that the brigade commander was showing signs of losing control of his emotions, the chief of staff could only bite the bullet and persuade him: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the top priority now is how to stabilize the defense line. The 101st Regiment is gone, so the 100th Regiment is gone."
There must be no mistakes, otherwise the Ninth Brigade will really be doomed."
The words of the chief of staff made Suzuki Shigeyasu calm down. The ninth brigade is a two-armed unit.
In other words, after losing the 101st Regiment, he only had one infantry regiment left in his hands. If this infantry regiment was gone, the only thing he could do was to follow in the footsteps of Kakubei on the mountain and perform a disembowelment.
Apologize.
Thinking of this, he could no longer care about anything else and said loudly: "Get me the 37th Division right away. I want to speak to the commander of the 23rd Anda Division in person!"
…………
"Hey... Brigadier... Brigadier, don't leave me behind."
In Gaojiazhuang, at the position of the Independent Regiment, Li Yunlong looked at his brigade commander riding away, shouting non-stop from behind, but no matter how much he shouted, the people in front didn't even look back.
It wasn't until no one could be seen that Li Yunlong cursed and turned back, only to see the gloating smiles of Ding Wei, Zhao Gang, and the other two group leaders.
Ding Wei pointed to the stool made of ammunition boxes and said: "Old Li... you should also sit down and have a rest. Even if you scream at the brigade commander, he will not take you there. You are like this with the brigade commander."
Haven't you even known his temper all these years?"
"Why?" Li Yunlong sat down and said angrily, "Brother Gao and I are brothers of life and death. I haven't seen him for a few days. Do you want to follow the brigade commander to see my brother this time?"
"Of course." Ding Wei smiled and said: "But our brigade commander is also a face-saving person. He is afraid of embarrassing our Eighth Route Army when he takes you there."
"Well, Ding Wei." Li Yunlong jumped up in anger, pointed at Ding Wei and shouted: "Speak clearly, how did I embarrass the Eighth Route Army?
After all, I am also the leader of the independent regiment. Although I have been up and down three times, whether it is military exploits or fighting skills, which one of you dares to pat your chest and say that you are better than me?"
Ding Wei and Li Yunlong have also been comrades-in-arms for more than ten years. They were not angry when he pointed at them and scolded them like this. They still smiled and said: "I didn't say you were bad at fighting. We have been comrades-in-arms for many years. Who doesn't understand the other?"
.
Don’t you understand why the brigade commander didn’t take you there?”
"What do I understand about me?"
As for why the brigade commander abandoned him and went to Yangping Town alone, Li Yunlong naturally felt like a mirror, but he insisted on saying: "I said, I just went to see my brothers. Is this wrong?"
Ding Wei said helplessly: "It's okay to visit this brother, but you can't just take food and take it every time you go there. Although Captain Gao is not short of those three melons and two dates, he can talk about this easily.
It doesn't sound good.
Let's talk about the battle two days ago when he and the Liantai Militia jointly launched an offensive against the Japanese Ninth Brigade. Commander Gao is very righteous, right? They don't want anything they capture, they give it all to us, and that's just two thousand pieces.
There are hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, dozens of grenades and more than ten mortars. There are even three Type 92 infantry guns, not to mention bullets.
But you are not satisfied yet, and you are still pestering Commander Gao, asking for two tanks to come back and form some kind of tank company. Don’t you think about it, are we able to afford that now?
I was nearby at that time, but you didn't see it. The brigade commander's face turned dark at that time. If he hadn't been worried about Commander Gao being nearby, he would have probably whipped this guy with a belt. He really embarrassed our Eighth Route Army."
Speaking of this matter, Li Yunlong also became silent for a moment, and his voice became softer several times, "I...I didn't think that if we have this thing, our Eighth Route Army will not need to kill soldiers when they attack Japanese strongholds in the future.
Go and change it?
At that time, if you want to attack a Japanese stronghold, you can move the tanks there and destroy the turret with one shot. How comfortable would that be?"
This time, not only Ding Wei, but also Zhao Gang and the two captains on the side rolled their eyes. Ding Wei even said unceremoniously: "Commander Gao, there is also a flying brigade, why don't you stop following Gao?"
Commander, would you like to borrow a few planes for fun? Wouldn’t it be more fun to drop a bomb from the top of the enemy’s head?”
No matter how thick-skinned Li Yunlong was, he couldn't help but blush, and then his eyes widened, "I said, Old Ding, you are enough. I just want to get two tanks for fun. What's this about you? Besides, I don't like this thing."
If so, you will beg me one day."
"You sound like you know how to play with this thing." Ding Wei was so angry that he simply ignored this guy.
Ding Wei was too lazy to pay attention to him, while Zhao Gang advised: "Old Li, don't blame Commander Ding for talking about you. Whether it's airplanes or tanks, these things are beyond our control at this stage. Let's talk about Commander Gao's equipment.
Tanks, I have asked about them. The price of each tank is one hundred thousand oceans. Let’s not talk about the loss of its parts. The gasoline used for training alone costs hundreds of oceans a day, as well as its artillery shells.
, bullets, etc. losses.
Let's put it this way, for the price of just one tank, you can eat up half of our independent regiment's military expenses every month. Not to mention the aircraft, our Eighth Route Army can't even afford one.
Otherwise, do you think our Eighth Route Army can’t get planes? Let me tell you, we have several captured Japanese planes in Yan’an, but until now they can only lie on the ground? Aren’t we unable to afford them?”
