"Commander, are we really going to give up on this opportunity?" As soon as Zhou Baozhong finished speaking, Commander Li Yuanqing asked anxiously.
"Stop talking, don't you understand what Commander means? It's not time for us to completely wipe out the Japanese 27th Division. Do you want to use the Japanese 27th Division to save the lives of thousands of little Japs and attract the Japs?
Is the Kwantung Army's crazy revenge against our base area? The commander is still thinking carefully, otherwise, the two of us will be in big trouble. Let's stop this matter. Now, let's discuss how to do it in the smallest possible way tonight.

.It can be seen that these senior commanders’ support for these resolutions has reached an unparalleled level.
At Liu Hua's signal, the warm applause slowly stopped. Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Hua, Commander Liu Hua then spoke.
"Comrades, this resolution was formulated jointly by all of us. Therefore, I hope that within the next month, all ministries can develop in full accordance with this resolution. I believe that as long as everyone works together and in accordance with this resolution,
The decision continues. Our base area will definitely become the most troublesome base area for the Japanese army in the near future. And our troops will also become a real iron army, with combat effectiveness no less than that of the elite divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said. Now I order the meeting to be adjourned."
In the blink of an eye, a month passed. After a month of intense training, the entire base area, tens of thousands of troops, and the long-awaited martial arts competition for every commander and fighter slowly began to unfold as time passed.
Curtain. After a month of training, the fifth column, three main divisions, nine main regiments, more than 20,000 soldiers. Almost everyone is holding their breath and wants to give themselves a good performance in the competition field.
The opponent showed off his power and showed off the results of his month of training...
The nine main regiments, nine infantry companies personally selected by Commander Liu Hua, were forming nine neat infantry square formations, standing motionless on the largest training ground in the base area, accepting everyone's review.
Directly opposite the nine infantry square formations, on a large rostrum, all the division-level and above-level officers in the entire base, headed by Commander Liu Hua, were all sitting neatly on stools.
He looked at the infantry formation in front of him with a serious face, and from time to time pointed at the comrades beside him.
As the time approached, Liu Xiaogang, commander of the special operations division as the commander-in-chief of the entire competition, quickly walked to the front of the podium. Then he saluted and shouted loudly: "Report to the commander. All participating troops,
We are ready, please give instructions from the commander."
Looking at the motionless infantry phalanx in front of him, exuding bursts of murderous intent, Liu Hua stood up from his seat and nodded with satisfaction. Then, facing Liu Xiaogang in front of him, he returned the salute and replied: "Very good. Now.
I announce that the entire martial arts competition will begin now. Each department will continue to work hard to achieve their ideal results."
Under the supervision and guidance of a thousand special forces members of the special operations division, nine infantry companies began their own martial arts competition. Rifle shooting, machine gun shooting, air defense drills, grenade throwing, cross-country training, air defense drills... one
Then one event began to appear in front of the warriors.
The numerous competition events dazzled the warriors participating in the competition. At the same time, it also dazzled all the commanders at all levels who were watching the competition. However, after a month of high-intensity training, facing the numerous competition events in front of us, there was no
Fear. Instead, rely on your solid foundation to participate in every project as much as possible.
The day passed quickly. After a day of fierce fighting, all competition events, except for the last practical exercise, have been completed. On the rostrum, under the expectant eyes of a group of commanders, the entire event
Liu Xiaogang, the direct commander-in-chief, appeared in front of everyone with a score sheet.
"Commander, here we are... Commander Liu is here with everyone's results." Looking at Liu Xiaogang walking quickly towards the rostrum, Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu, who was sitting next to Liu Hua, reminded him in a low voice.
As soon as Yang Jingyu finished speaking, almost everyone on the rostrum had a fiery gaze in their eyes. Then, all these gazes focused on Commander Liu Xiaogang. After all, his subordinates had achieved
After winning the victory, he, as his division commander, had a bright face. As a result, the eyes of the three division commanders and the three political commissars were almost following the figure of the special operations division commander Liu Xiaogang, moving quickly.
"Our Commander Liu is here. Commander Liu, come on, tell us which group achieved the best results in one day's competition. You don't know, these division commanders and political commissars sitting around me are all jealous.
Looking at you, I wish I could devour you?" Just when Liu Xiaogang stepped onto the rostrum and stood in front of Liu Hua, Commander Liu Hua said with a smile on his face.
"Reporting to Commander, today, we conducted a total of eight competition events. After statistics, the Sixth Company of the 37th Regiment of the 13th Division temporarily achieved first place with a total score of 71 points. The 40th Regiment of the 14th Division
The third company of the regiment ranked second with a total score of 68 points. The 45th Regiment of the 15th Division ranked third with a total score of 67 points. The three companies can be said to be neck-and-neck. Only by passing
We can find out in the actual training tomorrow." Under everyone's gaze, Liu Xiaogang said.
"Haha, congratulations to the three division commanders. Each of you three main divisions has occupied a position. However, the results of the three companies are not much different now. Only through tomorrow's real swordsmanship can we see a clear outcome.
Okay, now I order that today's competition is officially over. Tomorrow, we will conduct the last actual combat drill." Seeing the three division commanders, Liu Hua breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Liu Hua ordered with a smile.
"Yes, Commander, I will go and announce the order right away..." Liu Xiaogang replied affirmatively, turned around and rushed towards the competition venue not far away...
The competition on the second day attracted the attention of everyone in the entire base area. Early in the morning, the huge training ground was packed with people who came to watch. After yesterday's round of elimination,
, the four selected companies, under the watchful eyes of everyone, entered the arena and began the most important event in the entire competition, the actual combat drill...
Facing a position defended by a special adhesion company of the special operations division, the four main companies took turns to attack the position in front of them. In the end, the final score was judged based on the results achieved by the troops and the casualties they incurred.
As the so-called offensive and defensive drills involve, of course there will also be defense. The morning competition has just ended, and the afternoon battle has begun. However, at this moment, the special operations division and its own tasks have completely undergone a rotation. The four main forces
The companies each defend a hill. The special operations divisions each send out a special operations company to attack. The final judgment will be based on the time the troops defended and the number of enemies killed...
With the last gunshot rang out on the training ground, the two-day martial arts competition ended successfully. Nine main companies and nine infantry squares once again stood in front of the rostrum with solemn faces.
, waiting for the final result of this competition.
Commander Liu Hua, under the gaze of more than a thousand commanders and combatants, stood in front of everyone: "Comrades, the two-day martial arts competition is over. I don't want to say anything more here. Those who lost, I hope everyone
After going back, continue to strengthen training and strive to achieve better results in the next martial arts competition. Of course, those who win cannot be proud. They should strengthen training and maintain this result. Because, the next competition will
In the martial arts competition, your good results may be replaced by others at any time. Now I order the commander of the sixth company of the 37th Regiment of the 13th Division to come out."
"Report to the leader, Li Guowen, commander of the sixth company of the 37th Regiment of the 13th Division." As soon as Liu Hua finished speaking, a capable commander stood up from the queue. He saluted the commander in front of him, Liu Hua, loudly.
replied.
"Captain Li, comrades, I now announce that the first place in this competition is the Sixth Company of the 37th Regiment of our Thirteenth Division. According to the regulations before the competition, whoever gets the first place will be awarded the title of "Free Tiger" by the Field Army Headquarters.
"Regiment's flag. Company Commander Li, come and take the flag," Liu Hua said.
Along with a red flag with the three characters "Tiger Regiment" written on it, appeared in the hands of Commander Liu Hua. Company Commander Li Guowen could no longer contain the excitement in his heart and strode over. With his pair of almost trembling hands,
With both hands, he took the military flag from Commander Liu Hua's hand. Then, he saluted everyone around him with a solemn military salute.
Looking at the red flag fluttering in the wind in Li Guowen's hand, the three characters "Tiger Regiment" were written on the red flag. All the commanders and soldiers of Liuliu Company who won the first place were full of enthusiasm. Facing the military flag representing honor in the company commander's hand,
Raise your hands and salute to express your excitement at this moment.
The remaining eight companies, including the division commanders, looked at the military flag in the hands of the sixth company commander Li Guowen with jealousy. Looking at the people with different performances in the entire venue, Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction.
Facing the venue, he continued.
"Comrades, as I just said, if you win, don't be proud and continue training. If you lose, don't play chess. Strengthen your training and strive for the next competition. Win this military flag that represents honor.
In my own hands. Here, I want to announce something to everyone. The fact that Li Guowen holds the Tiger Regiment flag in his hand does not mean that this flag will belong to our 37th Regiment from now on."
Seeing the doubtful expressions on everyone's faces, Liu Hua continued to announce: "From now on, our field army will hold an army-wide martial arts competition every one month. Who will win?"
This military flag will stay with you for one month. Therefore, Comrade Li Guowen, whether this military flag can be guaranteed to stay with your 37th Regiment depends on whether your 37th Regiment can continue to work hard and win the next martial arts competition.
and still won the first place. And other comrades, as long as you work hard, maybe in the next martial arts competition, this military flag symbolizing honor will be handed into your hands. Comrades, tell me, you
Do you have the confidence to bring this military flag back to your army in the next martial arts competition?" Liu Hua shouted loudly.
