"It was observed that the enemy's 18th Division left a small number of soldiers on Niushou Mountain, and the rest of the infantry was moving towards Ande Gate and Fengtai Gate. In addition, we found the fire of heavy artillery fire in the valley between Jiangjun Mountain and Guanyin Mountain."
After telling Li Jixian and Xue Xishan about the situation at hand, Lu Feizhang shook the information in his hands and continued,
"Under the attack of the Japanese Thirteenth Division, the two rifle battalions and the reconnaissance company guarding Ande Gate and Fengtai Gate suffered heavy losses. From last night to now, a quarter of their strength has been lost, so...
…”
He looked at Li Jixian and Xue Xishan with inquiring eyes. They had a rifle battalion and a pistol battalion, plus his own reconnaissance battalion, which could be said to be the other half of the paratrooper school.
"Captain Li, Commander Xue, do you two want to fight?"
Li Jixian and Xue Xishan, who had long been dissatisfied with being left here, their eyes lit up when they heard about the war.
No one wants to fight in the paratrooper school. There is no respect for sophistication and cunning. There are only two possibilities for getting benefits. One is combat merit and the other is training. Apart from this, other issues are not considered.
Although we have been fighting at the moment and have not had time to train, everyone feels that it will not be so easy to pass the training in the future.
"Of course I do, but sir..."
Li Jixian was in a bit of a dilemma. He would not dare to do so without the order from his superior.
"I'm afraid of asking, this is called...this is called...sir, didn't you mean this is called subjective initiative..."
This matter is true, because in the early days of World War II, junior officers of the German Wehrmacht were often proactive. In fact, the most famous deviant officer was the Desert Fox Rommel.
When this guy was in North Africa, he wouldn't listen to anyone unless Brother Beard personally gave the order.
"Don't worry, I will tell the commander the plan before the fight. This is what I think. What do you think?"
After that, he pulled Li Jixian and Xue Xishan to a sand table.
The three of them made this thing by themselves when they had nothing to do. According to the commander, this is a good habit and will help the officers have a deep understanding of the battlefield terrain.
"Above us is the logistics unit of the 18th Japanese Division, and beyond that is a scattered brigade. I want to hand these two teams over to your two battalions."
"What a thief, Lu Feizhou, you guys want to eat more and take more of everything."
Before Lu Feizhang finished speaking, Xue Xishan had already cursed. When he was the commander of the pistol battalion, he was still very happy. Because when dealing with the 101st Division of the Japanese Army, Zhang Sixing's arrangement showed that he and others were dealing with each other.
The understanding of war is different.
Especially as a fellow native of Shaanxi, Xue Xishan had reason to believe that their battalion would become Zhang Sixing's "disciple soldiers." However, while Zhang Sixing obtained a full set of equipment from the concession, he mainly armed the reconnaissance battalion and the guard company.
This made Xue Xishan very unhappy, especially Lu Feizhang.
"What does it mean to eat more and fight more? Our reconnaissance battalion is going to kill the heavy artillery and ammunition storage points of the 18th Division and the 13th Division. Your pistol battalion..."
"What about my pistol camp? I play with guns and knives. I'm afraid of you. If you're not convinced, let's give it a try."
Lu Feizhang didn't answer this, knowing that Xue Xishan was angry. Zhang Sixing was not brought with him in every night attack, which made it impossible for him to use the night air raids he was good at.
Li Jixian didn't say anything. He knew that as an infantry battalion, he could clear the Japanese garrison on the mountain, which was enough for him. After all, it was a brigade, and there were also logistics troops.
Lu Maizhou has the same character as the superior, he likes to steal other people's logistics.
"No, Commander Xue, I admit that your pistol battalion is very strong, but you are too slow. You can't outrun us..."
Battalion Commander Xue was speechless when he said he couldn't run away. There were only so many ostrich boots. Zhang Sixing said more could only be produced after a factory was established in Kunming. And because of material problems, some materials might have to be shipped from Germany.
.
I could only curse in my heart: Damn thief, when will there be more magic vests?
No matter what Zhang Sixing says, this is the result of bionic technology, but to people in the paratrooper school, this thing is the magic vest of Dai Zong of Liangshan.
Pouring his lips, Xue Xishan cursed a little helplessly,
"Bah, it's not the commander's favoritism that makes your reconnaissance battalion run so fast... you just think about yourself if you have some good things. Besides, you can't run fast either because you are fooling around in vain."
To be honest, looking at the ostrich boots and BT tiger swords of the reconnaissance camp, it is a lie that Xue Xishan is not envious. Shaanxi people, every young man has a swordsman dream in his heart. And every soldier also has a military exploit.
Dream.
"It doesn't matter, we have sky lanterns, but... maybe we can consider making the war bigger."
After hearing what Lu Feizhou said, Li Jixian also became interested. Of course, he didn't want Battalion Commander Xue to share his military exploits. After all, the Japs left on Niu Shou Mountain were just logistics troops and a brigade.
Based on the periscopes hidden everywhere, Li Jixian was surprised to find that the Japanese 18th Division that occupied Niushou Mountain had not learned the lessons learned on the battlefield. At least none of them wore gas masks.
Very confident, which is good.
Originally, he had a better solution. The people his father left in the tunnel made some rocket eggs during the few days of fighting in Yuhuatai. However, the commander said that those things still had great uses and could not be used for the time being.
But no matter what, we must find a way to drive Xue Xishan away and not let him interfere in Niu Shoushan's attack. So after hearing what Lu Feizhou said, Li Jixian immediately agreed,
"Lieutenant Lu, I feel that what you said couldn't be more correct. The brothers on the front line of Andemen tonight are under too much pressure. If you can lead Lieutenant Xue, you will definitely achieve more results..."
Chi Guoguo strives for credit, which is the norm for the commanders of the paratrooper school. Everyone wants their troops to be more capable, and everyone wants to be an officer who is reused by the principal.
The principal's only requirement is that he can fight.
"There are quite a few Japs in Niushou Mountain. There are both logistics troops and a large group of defenders, and they are very scattered..."
"No problem, no problem, we're all responsible for the Japs on Niushou Mountain..."
When he heard that he had the opportunity to stand alone, Li Jixian's face turned into a flower. Although his men did not have silent sniper rifles or ostrich boots, they did have offensive tear gas eggs and BT Tigers fixed on rifles.
He managed to completely defeat the Japanese troops guarding Niushou Mountain. Leaving aside the logistics troops waiting to be slaughtered, only one brigade was still scattered in various places in Niushou Mountain.
They are fully capable of killing them all. The only thing is whether it will affect Zhang Sixing's plan.
"Lieutenant Lu, if we fight here on Niushou Mountain, will it affect the commander's plan? If it really affects the commander's plan, it will be a big deal."
Lu Feizhang’s answer to this is,
"We are not a fruit army, and we cannot ignore death under any circumstances."
