When Okamura Neiji returned to the headquarters, after convening everyone, he immediately repeated what Takeshita Shun said to him, and then said, "Today, we will immediately formulate a night defense method that can be applied to all divisions.
, and the plan to prepare for another special operation by Zhou Weiguo."
"Hi!" Then, the staff members in the headquarters began to work at high speed. It is not difficult for them to know how to perfect a proposition.
In just one morning, the plan was made. The general meaning is that the patrol force of each division every night will be undertaken by soldiers from the same squadron. In this way, they will become familiar with each other. At the same time, each division can set up
A special small department is to guard against Zhou Weiguo. Once Zhou Weiguo and others appear in the Japanese camp for another special operation, the soldiers of the patrol team will temporarily stabilize Zhou Weiguo and others, then inform the superiors, and finally gather the strength of the entire division.
, except Zhou Weiguo.
Okamura Neiji was very satisfied. These were his current thoughts. However, when it came to putting his thoughts into written documents, the staff were relatively good at it. Then, he said, "Immediately distribute this document to each division.
Tell them that they must strictly implement it! This is a provision about the future of the empire and their life safety!"
"Hi!"
Afterwards, Okamura Neji expected that Zhou Weiguo would fall into their dragnet.
…
Zhou Weiguo, who was near Suixian County, naturally didn't know that Okamura Neji had a move to deal with him. The Japanese division that was attacked by them last night did not attack again today. It seemed that the losses were relatively large.
Similarly, because of Zhou Weiguo's actions last night, the Japs' attack on Lishan this morning has also softened a lot. They are afraid that Zhou Weiguo's troops behind them will rush up and fight them directly. If so, they will be attacked from both sides, which is terrible.
. Therefore, the Japanese who attacked Tang Enbo's army in Lishan had some remaining strength to defend against the attack by Zhou Weiguo and others.
"Master, are we taking any action today?" Yang Dali asked Zhou Weiguo.
"Let's go, let's discuss it with Commander Li Xiannian first. Even if there is any action, they have to be with this column." Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, and then walked towards the hill opposite.
…
When Li Xiannian saw Zhou Weiguo, he had a complicated mood. He had known for a long time that Zhou Weiguo was very powerful. Many people in the party had said these things to him, including Mr. Zhou. But what he didn't expect was that the young man in front of him could do so with just a few words.
He really admired the Japanese who acted independently and could not live in peace.
"Mr. Zhou!" Li Xiannian was the first to laugh when he saw Zhou Weiguo.
"Commander Li!" Zhou Weiguo replied with a smile, "I came today because I have something to discuss with Commander Li!"
"Mr. Zhou, please speak!" Li Xiannian said immediately.
"That's right. The Japanese division that attacked us yesterday will not be able to attack us again today." Zhou Weiguo thought for a while and said.
"Yes, after last night's attack, they really shouldn't attack us again." Li Xiannian nodded.
"So, Commander Li's soldiers and my soldiers are freed up." Zhou Weiguo said, "I think we can attack from the rear of the Japs in Lishan and directly reduce the pressure on the national army in Suixian County."
Li Xiannian was silent and said, "Commander Zhou, to be honest, two-thirds of the soldiers in my column are new recruits. Although there was a defense yesterday, Commander Zhou must have seen the casualties. If today
If I continue to fight, I’m afraid I will be disabled immediately.”
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "But, Commander Li, if we don't do it, is it possible that Suixian County will fall into the hands of the Japanese?"
Li Xiannian nodded.
"So, we have to do this." Zhou Weiguo said.
Li Xiannian sighed and said, "Hey, actually I also know that once the war starts, it won't end so easily. But, I really feel sorry for these recruits. Once they go to the battlefield, I don't know if they can come back.
.”
Zhou Weiguo nodded and sighed, "I understand this. Once upon a time, our independent division was all new recruits. But now that our country is here, do we have any other choice? If we don't fight hard, we will perish."
Li Xiannian took a deep breath and then said, "I know, so Li Xiannian of the New Fourth Army is willing to obey Commander Zhou's deployment."
"Thank you!" Zhou Weiguo saluted Li Xiannian. The man in front of him was also an extremely patriotic person.
"The responsibilities of a soldier." Li Xiannian said.
…
"Shengli, Xiaohui, you should continue here and be responsible for artillery support." Zhou Weiguo said to Fang Shengli, Liu Zhihui and others.
"Brother, we want to go with you." Liu Zhihui frowned.
"Okay, as long as you can find a gunner to replace you." Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows and said.
Speaking of this, Liu Zhihui sighed. There were several soldiers in Lei Dingtian's troops of the 4th Division Regiment, so they didn't think too much about this column of the New Fourth Army.
Immediately, Liu Zhihui could only say helplessly, "Then let's use up all the shells and then move forward?"
"That's okay." Zhou Weiguo smiled.
…
At 10 o'clock in the morning on May 31, 1939, Zhou Weiguo led Li Xiannian's troops of the New Fourth Army around the back of the Japanese near Lishan, preparing for a frontal attack with the Japanese.
At this time, artillery support from Fang Shengli and others had begun.
…
"boom!"
"boom!"
On the Japanese position, there were suddenly many more artillery fire attacks.
"Nani? Hide!" a Japanese major shouted. This was exactly the same as yesterday's attack, and then he fell to the ground.
…
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Chinese artillery fire!"
"Yalu, I saw it. I didn't expect the 165th Division to be so useless, with more than half of the casualties. It's not appropriate to let them block those Chinese people." The Japanese Lieutenant General frowned, "Let the warriors take cover and wait for the shelling to stop before attacking.
.”
"Hi!"
The Japanese Lieutenant General looked at the two artillery positions in the distance. Their infantry had no choice but to call in the air force for support later and carry out strikes.
Suddenly, the Japanese lieutenant general heard some gunshots again.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what's wrong, the Chinese are attacking us from behind!" A Japanese soldier ran over and shouted.
"Yalu, let Jinjiu's team stop the defense!"
"Hi!"
…
Zhou Weiguo and Lei Dingtian led more than 500 soldiers and more than 6,000 people from Li Xiannian's troops to the Japanese positions. In yesterday's battle, Li Xiannian's troops suffered more than 3,000 casualties, of course, most of them were wounded.
After seeing the Japanese army, Zhou Weiguo and others took the lead in shooting, and they advanced while shooting.
"Da da!"
"Da da da!"
The Japanese army also responded quickly and began to block the attack on the spot.
