In less than ten minutes, a telegram was handed over to the commander-in-chief Yang Jingyu by the operator. Looking at the telegram in his hand, Yang Jingyu once again showed an excited smile on his face. Then, he faced the commander
Wang Minggui, the leader of a regiment within the ministry, ordered with a serious face...
"Commander Wang, I now give you an important task to complete. You must know that this task is related to whether our resistance alliance has enough ability to eliminate the little Japs standing in front of us when the troops launch a counterattack...
I don’t know how many people in your group can continue to fight so far..."
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, there are still 458 soldiers capable of fighting in the regiment. However, I promise that no matter what the task is, the regiment will complete it..." Looking at the serious commander-in-chief in front of him, Wang Minggui, the leader of the regiment, had no regrets.
Hesitantly, he answered confidently...
"The situation is like this. The commander promised us that he will support us with a batch of weapons and ammunition. I want you to take your regiment, climb over the mountain in front of you, bypass our position on Shimen Ridge, and arrive at
Here, a batch of weapons and ammunition is received. According to the telegram just sent by the commander, this is where Comrade Chen Ming is hiding. The commander will escort a batch of weapons and ammunition to support us, so that our resistance alliance will have sufficient capabilities.
Carry out a counterattack...So, no matter what, you must lead the troops and bring back this batch of ammunition..." Yang Jingyu replied...
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, the regiment is guaranteed to complete the mission. Even if the entire regiment is exhausted, we must bring back this batch of ammunition intact..." Wang Degui replied with a confident face, turned around and rushed out of the headquarters to greet
My troops ran over...
After waiting anxiously for more than an hour, the Japanese regiment headquarters was already in chaos. When the news of the death of more than a thousand imperial soldiers reached the ears of the regiment commander Matsuda, Colonel Matsuda simply couldn't help it.
I dare to believe my ears. Two elite infantry brigades and more than 2,000 imperial soldiers who were recharged faced the exhausted resistance and almost ran out of ammunition and food. Not only did they not win, but they lost most of their troops.
….
"Baga, Yamagata-kun and Ogura Jun, these two people are simply stupid. They are all dead. They should have a caesarean section immediately and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor...Bagaya Road, more than a thousand imperial troops are employed.
The soldiers, because of their stupidity, were buried in Shimenling and in the hands of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. I will send them all to a military court..." Colonel Matsuda, with an angry face, quickly tore up the telegram in his hand.
It was broken into pieces, and then he cursed with a look of hatred on his face...
"Your Excellency, Captain, please calm down. The resistance alliance in Shimenling is really too cunning. I didn't expect that so far, they still have reserve teams that have not been used... However, Your Excellency, Captain, how should we break through Shimen in the urgent matter of delay?"
Ridge defense line, occupying the territory occupied by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, please calm down, Captain..." the chief of staff advised in a low voice.
"Where are our reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements now? Why haven't they arrived at Shimen Ridge to participate in the attack? Contact Lieutenant Commander Shaoda immediately..." At the reminder of the chief of staff, Colonel Matsuda quickly recovered and asked
.
"Reporting to your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Shaotian has just called back. Because the troops carry a large number of trucks and heavy artillery, a lot of time was delayed on the road. Therefore, the troops can only arrive at the battlefield in two hours. In addition, Lieutenant Colonel Shaotian requested
We will report the specific location of the artillery positions and arrange them before dark. The troops will start attacking early tomorrow morning..." the chief of staff replied cautiously...
"Tell him, tell him everything. However, give him a deadline and ask him to capture the Shimenling position tomorrow morning, otherwise, military law will be engaged..." Colonel Matsuda, the captain of the regiment, waved his hand helplessly, with a look of despair on his face.
said…
"Hai, your Excellency, Wing Commander, I will go and give the order right away..." the Chief of Staff replied loudly, and quickly left Wing Commander Matsuda Daisaku, a powder keg that could explode at any time...
Just as the Japanese troops outside the Shimenling position began to mobilize and allocate their forces for the upcoming attack the next day. Behind the Shimenling position, in the Anti-Alliance Headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Yang Jingyu was sitting leisurely on his stool.
, looking at the military map in front of him with a relaxed expression, waiting for news from Wang Minggui...
The comfortable time is often very short-lived. Just when Yang Jingyu and a group of commanders were sitting in the headquarters, chatting with each other about the current battle situation, a rush of footsteps quickly reached everyone from far to near.
In the ears. Immediately afterwards, a guard hurriedly appeared at the door of the headquarters...
"Report to the commander-in-chief, leaders, Commander Wang is back and has brought back a lot of weapons and ammunition. He is now at the gate of the military camp..." Seeing the eyes of more than a dozen commanders looking at him at the same time, the guard quickly panted.
replied.
"Okay, I'm finally back. Comrades, let's go together to greet this Wang Minggui. Look at how many weapons and ammunition our commander Wang has brought us..." Yang Jingyu said with a relaxed look, and was the first to walk out.
Headquarters…
From a distance, just when everyone walked out of the headquarters, everyone's eyes were attracted by the bustling entrance of the military camp... There were more than 400 soldiers in the first anti-alliance regiment, and almost everyone was carrying a box of ammunition on their shoulders.
Or a large number of light and heavy weapons... And right in the middle of the military camp, boxes of ammunition and pieces of light and heavy weapons have been piled up like a hill. As for the surrounding soldiers, they all looked at them with expectant eyes.
The weapons and ammunition in front of you...
"Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief, we have made a fortune this time. I didn't expect that the advance detachment would reinforce and give us so many weapons and ammunition... Oh my god, I have been in the Anti-Japanese Alliance for such a long time, and never once
I saw so many weapons and ammunition, as well as so many mortars, light and heavy machine guns..." Seeing the commander-in-chief Yang Jingyu, Wang Minggui, the leader of the regiment, rushed over with excitement and said excitedly...
"Yeah, I didn't expect that the advance detachment would give us so many weapons and ammunition at once. However, these weapons and ammunition really solved the predicament that our Anti-Japanese Alliance is facing now. Seeing the malicious intent, I said it was a salvation.
We are resisting the alliance. Quick, Commander Wang, tell me how much ammunition we have..." Yang Jingyu asked with the same eagerness.
"Commander-in-Chief, this is the list of weapons. Two hundred boxes of bullets, six mortars, thirty boxes of artillery shells. A total of 36 light and heavy machine guns, and fifty boxes of various ammunition... Commander-in-Chief, let’s just say those rifle bullets, on average.
, each person can get at least a hundred rounds of ammunition... As for the dozens of light and heavy machine guns and mortars, if these weapons and ammunition are all equipped to our liking, the firepower density of our anti-alliance alliance can be increased by one level.
More than twice as much..." Wang Minggui said with excitement...
"Okay, the commander has indeed kept his promise. He has given us so many weapons and ammunition in one go. Old Zhou, hurry up and distribute all these weapons and ammunition. Tell every soldier that if you have any weapons and ammunition, give them to me."
Cheer up. In the next battle, let the commander take a good look at the combat effectiveness of our anti-alliance alliance. Don't let the commander down, don't let ourselves down..." Yang Jingyu also showed a smile on his face.
, said to Deputy Commander Zhou Baozhong in front of him...
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief... But, Commander-in-Chief, these mortars... During the process of our transfer, because the shells were used up, the artillery company directly under the Anti-Japanese Alliance was dispersed by the Japs. I don't know if we are resisting now.
Among the thousands of people left in the alliance, does anyone know how to use these equipment..." Zhou Baozhong loudly accepted the order...
"Reporting to the leaders, everyone in my reconnaissance team can shoot this kind of mortar. If the Anti-Japanese Alliance really can't find a gunner, these six mortars will be handed over to our reconnaissance team...I promise, by then,
Wherever the leader points, our reconnaissance team will hit. We will ensure that all of these dozens of boxes of artillery shells will be hit on the Japs’ positions..." Just as the two people were frowning, the leader of the reconnaissance team, Chen Ming,
Suddenly he said...
"Really, Captain Chen, what you said is true. Your reconnaissance team really knows how to fire mortars..." Yang Jingyu's face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he quickly asked...
"Reporting to the leader, our reconnaissance team has some members who have not learned about aircraft due to physical reasons. We will use all the equipment used by the little devils, no matter what caliber artillery, armored vehicles, tanks... you can rest assured.
Yes..." Chen Ming replied confidently...
"Okay, Old Zhou, hand over all six mortars to Comrade Chen Ming. In addition, transfer thirty logistics personnel from the general headquarters to Comrade Chen Ming to be responsible for transporting these thirty boxes of shells. Arrive.
When the troops counterattack, these six mortars play a very important role..." After receiving the exact answer, Yang Jingyu ordered with certainty...
With the replenishment of these weapons and ammunition, everyone was very happy after returning to the headquarters. Especially the commander-in-chief Yang Jingyu, who had been frustrated for several days under the Japanese army's continuous attacks and artillery fire suppression.
, with a big smile on his face...
"Commander in chief, now we have ammunition, and the weapons have been improved by more than one level compared to the original ones. The morale of the troops is very high. I think now is the best time for us to counterattack..." Inside the headquarters, distribution
After finishing the weapons and ammunition, the commander-in-chief Zhou Baozhong asked Yang Jingyu expectantly...
"You, Lao Zhou, are just a militant. Inform the troops to rest and recuperate immediately, and ask the cooking team to bring out all the edible things. Before the counterattack, we must have good physical strength. As for the few of us
, contact the commander immediately and discuss the specific counterattack deployment through the radio. This time, we must seize this opportunity to annihilate the nearly 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops in front of us in one fell swoop and break the enemy's line of defense..." With reinforcements
, with weapons and ammunition, Yang Jingyu's appetite gradually increased, and he ordered with a heroic look to the commanders in front of him.
"Comrade, please send a telegram to Commander Liu immediately. The weapons and ammunition for the advance detachment to support our Anti-Japanese Alliance have been received. Now, the entire Anti-Japanese Alliance has more than 5,000 commanders and fighters who are well-equipped and have high morale. I request the Commander to immediately arrange specific arrangements for the Anti-Japanese Alliance."
Combat mission..." Yang Jingyu said seriously to the radio operator in the headquarters...
At this moment, all the commanders and fighters of the advance detachment, who had already lurked behind the Japanese and puppet troops in Shimenling, were setting up camp and setting up warning positions under the noses of the two puppet military divisions... As for the headquarters of the advance detachment, the entire advance detachment, squadron and above
The commanders all gathered in front of Liu Hua to discuss the specific battle plan for the next advance detachment...
"How's it going, Xiaogang? Did the Japs' frontline headquarters send you the location of their artillery positions..." After a while of discussion, Liu Hua asked Liu Xiaogang next to him...
"Commander, I told...this little devil commander, not only told us the location of the artillery position. At the same time, he also sent a telegram to the top commander of the artillery position, saying that we would rush there before dark to arrange the arrangements.
Artillery positions, let them prepare to welcome our artillery troops..." Liu Xiaogang said with a sly smile...
"Okay, this little devil has solved a big problem for us. Xiaogang, transfer a squadron of troops from your first brigade, pull six mountain cannons, and immediately rush to the artillery position to receive the little devil's artillery for me.
Position. Then, follow my orders, concentrate all artillery fire, and cover the little devil's position with saturated artillery fire. Let the little devil in front of us also have a good taste of this artillery fire coverage..." Liu Hua slapped fiercely.
Looking at the table in front of him, he ordered with excitement...
"Yes, Commander. This time I plan to let Wang Hong lead the team... This guy has a flexible mind, knows how to adapt, and is very calm when dealing with little devils. He is a good candidate for a commander..." Liu Xiaogang nodded and replied...
"Well, if you think it's possible, train it properly. Sooner or later, you'll have to hand over the selection of commander of the First Battalion to someone else... Well, if you accept the task of the enemy's artillery position, leave it to Wang
Comrade Hong...The next step is to discuss how we should deal with the two Manchurian Army infantry divisions in front of us..." Liu Hua said...
"Commander, how about we launch a night attack on the enemy's barracks as we did in Anshan, and deal with them one by one, wiping out these two divisions without leaving a single one..." After the night attack in Anshan,
Wang Ping, captain of the Second Battalion, who seemed to be fascinated by this special style of play, immediately spoke...
"No, the enemies we encountered last time were basically unwary. But the enemy in front of us has gone through several days of bloody battles. It can be said that every soldier's nerves are tense. I believe
, any movement may wake up these enemies... and by that time, the sneak attack battle will most likely turn into a very cruel close combat, chaotic battle... If the situation really reaches that situation, then the losses suffered by our advance detachment,
It would be unimaginable..." Li Guodong, captain of the Third Brigade, immediately objected to Wang Ping's suggestion...
"Yes, what Captain Li said is very correct. We must not deal with these enemies like those of the Anshan reinforcements who have never seen blood. Of course, I have another important reason, which is to capture these Manchurian troops...according to
According to the telegram of the Anti-League, after half a year of bloody battles in the entire Anti-League, there are only more than 5,000 people left who can continue to fight. If by then there are these prisoners who have gone through bloody battles and can join the Anti-League, the combat effectiveness of the Anti-League will be
There will definitely be such a huge improvement..." Liu Hua continued...
"Commander, you mean to capture the Manchurian troops of these two divisions... But, Commander, these are not 6,000 pigs after all, they are 6,000 soldiers with weapons who have gone through continuous bloody battles... And we
The advance detachment, excluding the artillery and scouts, only has more than 4,000 people at full count..." Liu Xiaogang expressed his confusion and doubts...
"Comrades, no matter how powerful these Manchurian Army troops are in combat, they cannot be as unafraid of death as the little devil Kwantung Army... By then, if we can find a way to capture all their officers... there will be no command.
Under the command of the general, I believe that these more than 6,000 Manchurian Army troops will not be so difficult to deal with..." Liu Hua explained with a smile...
"That's right...these Manchurian Army troops will definitely become a mess if they lose the command of their commanders. At that time, we will take their commanders and directly hand over their weapons...Commander, I am really impressed.
You, I completely agree with this plan..." Liu Xiaogang immediately recovered from the shock and said with excitement...
"Okay, now I order the 2nd and 3rd Battalions to be ready to attack immediately... Xiaogang, send a few team members who are proficient in Japanese to carry the warrant to the camps of the two Manchurian military divisions to convey your orders and let them
All their commanders above the regiment level will come here immediately for a meeting. As for the purpose of the meeting, we want to pass them to get familiar with the situation of the Shimenling garrison and make prerequisite preparations for tomorrow's offensive battle..." Liu Hua decisively ordered
…
"Yes, Commander..." everyone replied in unison...
"Well, and don't worry, everyone... Xiaogang, immediately send out a squadron member to carry a mortar. Based on the situation detected by the reconnaissance squadron, immediately lurk around the Japanese wing headquarters. As soon as the counterattack begins
, we must deal with the enemy's command structure as soon as possible..." Liu Hua continued to order...
"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission..."
"Very good, the meeting is over now. Everyone will prepare separately. In an hour, we will start taking action... In addition, Xiaogang, immediately notify the communications platoon and immediately send our combat plan in the form of a telegram to the Anti-Alliance Headquarters.
Please cooperate with the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the fight. When the time is up, we will launch a final counterattack against the current Japanese army..." Liu Hua ordered decisively...
