"Captain Gao, your deputy commander is very good at fighting. Even we feel ashamed when we see such a radical fighting style."
In the temporary joint command headquarters, Commander Liu was surprised when he saw the combat plan jointly submitted by Wu Chengfeng and Brigadier Wang.
"Actually, let alone you, even I was a little surprised." Gao Hongming was also amazed, and then explained.
"Actually, I, Deputy Commander Wu, was originally from the Northwest Army. He basically inherited the tactics of the Northwest Army. His characteristic is that he dares to fight and fight hard. The battalion directly under him is also the most capable among the Liantai militia.
A force that fights tough battles.
This time I put him on the right wing, originally I wanted to see if he could surprise me? But now it seems, I don’t know if it’s a surprise or not, but it’s a shock.”
Wu Chengfeng's style of play is called "Dare to Fight and Charge" in a good way, but it's all-or-nothing in a bad way.
If the attack launched by the right wing cannot defeat the 108th Division in one fell swoop, or is even beaten back by the 108th Division, then the right wing is likely to fall into passivity or even collapse.
Wu Chengfeng could not have known the consequences, but he still did it. This shows that this guy has a strong gambling streak.
Seeing that Gao Hongming seemed to have a look of worry on his face, Commander Liu thought he was still worried about Wu Chengfeng and Brigadier Wang's adventure, and then smiled and comforted him: "Captain Gao, you don't have to worry too much.
In my opinion, instead of worrying about whether they can achieve their combat goals, it is better to think about what we can do for them."
As soon as these words came out, Gao Hongming's heart moved, and he immediately gave him a thumbs up: "Master Liu is indeed a famous general in Sichuan, his words can wake up the dreamer.
These days, our main attack direction is the 6th Division, and the Japanese are used to focusing on the 6th Division. Once we change our target and focus our attack on the 108th Division, we will definitely catch them off guard.
."
After saying that, he turned around and said to the staff officer behind him, Langxheng: "Counsel Ge, record the order..."
…………
Lei Xiangdong, who was carrying more than 20 kilograms of weight on his body, panted and stopped under a big tree. He turned around and looked behind him, and found that the soldiers following him were just like him, all of them had full heads.
I was sweating profusely and my whole back was wet.
Marching in such muddy ground is extremely physically demanding, not to mention that they started their insertion mission at 5:30 this morning and have been walking for three and a half hours now. Even the strongest people cannot bear it.
"Pass this on, the troops will stop advancing and rest for half an hour."
"Stop moving forward and rest where you are for half an hour!"
As orders were issued, the troops that were still marching immediately stopped. The soldiers found a place to sit down one after another. Many of them even took off their leather boots and worked in pairs to pick at each other's feet.
Lei Xiangdong leaned under the big tree, shook the empty M44 kettle in his hand and frowned. After a morning of rapid march, he drank all the 0.75 liters of water in his kettle.
He looked around again and found that many soldiers were doing the same actions as him.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Lack of water is not a trivial matter. Once a person's body is dehydrated, it will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the army.
"Platoon Commander Wang!"
"arrive!"
A young second lieutenant ran to his side.
Lei Xiangdong pointed to the road and said: "Take some brothers with you, look for any villages along this road, ask for some water from the fellow villagers, and fill up all the brothers' water bottles by the way. Hurry up, it will take half an hour.
No matter whether we can get water or not, we have to come back."
"yes!"
The second lieutenant agreed, took two squads of soldiers, and everyone walked along the path at their feet with water bottles hanging on their bodies.
Just over ten minutes had passed when Lei Xiangdong saw Platoon Leader Wang running back in panic.
"Battal Commander... Battalion Commander... something big happened!"
"Why are you panicking...calm down." Lei Xiangdong cursed.
Seeing that the second lieutenant was stammering, Lei Xiangdong realized that something must have happened ahead.
He immediately led a platoon of soldiers and followed the second lieutenant as he trotted along the path. After a few minutes, the group arrived at the foot of a mountain.
There is a small mountain village located at the foot of this mountain. It looks like there should be fifty or sixty households. This kind of existence can be regarded as a medium-sized village in this area.
It stands to reason that a village like this would be very lively with people coming and going on weekdays, with children crying and adults scolding them.
But now the village is completely silent, not even the sound of cocks crowing or dogs barking.
Seeing this, a bad mood suddenly arose.
Sure enough, when he followed Platoon Leader Wang to the entrance of the village, a strong stench suddenly hit his face. Lei Xiangdong's heart suddenly sank. Based on his many years of rich experience, he immediately realized this.
It's the smell of corpses.
Sure enough, when a group of them entered the village, they immediately saw an open space in front of the village filled with dense corpses. These corpses were old and young, male and female, all lying on the ground in a mess.
Countless flies clung to the corpse, making a buzzing sound everywhere.
Not only that, Lei Xiangdong also found that the bodies of many women were almost all naked, and their death conditions were extremely miserable. It was obvious that they had been violated before they died.
"Battle base, after inspection, these corpses have been dead for about three days. They were all shot with 6.5-caliber Arisaka bullets. There are still many bullet casings on the ground. It is obviously an organized and premeditated massacre by the little devils!"
Lei Xiangdong was silent for a long time, and his face was so gloomy that it almost dripped water for a long time before he roared angrily: "I'm going to kill the eighteenth generation of your little devil's ancestors!"
After more than half an hour, the team set off again, but everyone in the team, from the battalion commander down to the soldiers, was holding back a rage that was ready to burst out anytime and anywhere.
Just as Lei Xiangdong and his team were inserting themselves into the rear of the 108th Division according to the planned plan, Torajiro Iwai was also furious about the continuous defeats on the front line.
"They are all a bunch of idiots. How did Susumu Watanabe command the battle? The 242nd Wing only fought for half a day and couldn't hold on anymore? He commanded more than 3,000 men, not more than 3,000 pigs?"
Chief of Staff Kobori Kodaizuo reminded: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, now it is not only the problem of the 242nd Regiment, but also the situation of the 240th Regiment is very bad. Captain Nakamura has sent three consecutive letters requesting tactical guidance.
Telegram, it can be seen that it is not that the imperial warriors are incompetent, but that the Chinese have shifted the focus of their attack to our side."
Torajiro Iwai took a breath: "Are you saying that the focus of the Chinese people's attack is no longer the Sixth Division, but us?"
