Hong Linfeng also frowned: "Our original idea was to announce to the outside world that the regiment leader was patrolling the entire base area. Now the regiment leader has been targeted by the Japanese. If he doesn't show up for a long time, they will definitely see some clues.
You know this is fake news released by us!”
"Maybe they will think that something happened to the regiment leader, and then take the opportunity to attack the base area."
"Now there are less than 1,500 people left in the entire regiment plus one battalion. Defending such a large base area must be full of loopholes."
"So we must not let the Japanese army attack our base area now. We must find ways to scare them. Otherwise, the base area will definitely not be able to avoid a catastrophe and suffer heavy losses."
The more he talked about it, the more ugly his face became. By the end of the sentence, his whole brow had been twisted into a big "chuan" character.
Wang Hong is under great pressure.
The regiment commander successfully repelled the heavy mopping up by the independent mixed brigade and severely damaged the enemy. The entire situation was definitely favorable to the garrison.
In such a good situation, if I, the temporary head of the family, fail to do a good job and waste the good situation that the regiment leader worked so hard to achieve, then I would be very sorry for the severely injured and unconscious regiment leader, and also for the more than 10,000 people who died on the battlefield.
Soldiers.
He slapped his head hard, forced himself to calm down, and then analyzed.
"Don't be impatient. Let's think about it carefully. If the regiment commander was here, what would he do if he used the regiment commander's fighting style?"
"Chief of Staff, you have been with the group the longest and know him best. You go first."
Hong Linfeng hesitated and replied: "Take the initiative!"
"Offense is the best defense, this is a saying that the regiment leader often says."
"Another sentence is that only by taking the initiative to attack can we seize the initiative on the battlefield and create more fighter opportunities."
"This is a good idea!" Wang Hong analyzed thoughtfully.
"The reason why the Japs tried so hard to find out the situation of the regiment leader was because Zhang saw that our garrison was leaderless and took the opportunity to attack us."
"The captain is the backbone of our garrison. If something happens to him, the combat effectiveness of the garrison will definitely plummet, and the Japanese will take advantage of us. In this case, we will use the captain's usual method of attack and take the initiative to kill the Japanese.
Fight back any thought of taking advantage."
"Director He, please let the news out now: the regiment leader was seriously injured in the counter-mopping up that just ended, but he is no longer seriously injured after rescue. He is now awake and will continue to command the garrison regiment and the military and civilian operations in the base area in the hospital."
"The guard battalion immediately moved the regiment headquarters to the field hospital and imposed martial law on the hospital. From now on, all of us will move to the field hospital to work."
"The mission of the reconnaissance company remains unchanged, and we will cooperate with the Security Department to continue to eliminate Japanese and puppet agents in the surrounding area."
Hong Linfeng said: "Political Commissar, it is too difficult to dispel the Japanese's idea of taking advantage of us with these actions alone."
"I suggest that the troops also take action. It is best to kill some little Japs and use the regiment leader's fighting style to fight with the regiment commander's still posture, so that they can feel the pressure on the battlefield."
Wang Hong's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea."
"Chief of Staff, do you have any specific ideas?"
Hong Linfeng thought for a moment and replied: "Use heavy artillery."
"The troops suffered heavy casualties and are in urgent need of replenishment and rest. They will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield in a short time."
"But artillery is not needed. We can completely mobilize some heavy artillery to attack the Japanese."
"According to intelligence, the independent mixed brigade retreated only thirty kilometers and then stopped. They were stationed in Fengshan Town and Gaoqiao Town."
"We can set up the artillery five kilometers away and bombard the Japanese camp."
"Heavy artillery has a long range. Before the Japanese independent mixed brigade replenished heavy artillery, ordinary mountain and field artillery had a range of less than three kilometers. Facing our heavy artillery, it could only be passively beaten."
"When the time comes, each cannon will fire ten rounds, and the total of more than a hundred shells will hit the Japanese camp at the same time, which will definitely be enough for them to drink a pot."
Wang Hong showed an expression of admiration.
At that moment, he actually saw the shadow of group leader Li Hao in Hong Linfeng.
Immediately replied: "Chief of Staff, I completely agree with your proposal. You will be in charge of the specific methods."
"As long as we can get rid of the enemy's idea of taking advantage of us and force them to continue to retreat, I believe the regiment commander is still in the base area! If more than a hundred rounds of heavy artillery shells are not enough, we will fire more than 200 rounds. If not, more than 300 rounds will be enough.
OK."
Hong Linfeng answered confidently: "Don't worry, political commissar, I promise to beat the Japanese to pain?"
Under the cover of night, a team of mules and horses walked like ghosts on the mountain road.
"That's it, the troops stop advancing." Yuan Qingfeng, who was walking in the middle of the team, ordered decisively.
"Assemble the artillery immediately and set up the artillery right here."
"Operator, contact the observation post, determine the distance and direction of the bombardment, and calculate the firing crew."
More than a hundred gunners immediately got busy. The barrels, wheels, gun bodies scattered on the horseback... more than a dozen parts, large and small, were put together according to their respective numbers.
"Batalion Commander, the No. 1 gun has been assembled..."
"Report to the battalion commander, No. 2 Runner has been assembled..."
"The No. 3 cannon has also been assembled..."
Soon, the six artillery pieces lined up in two rows, raising their long barrels and pointing straight into the sky.
"Battal Commander, the telegram from the observation post has arrived." The operator reported immediately.
"Immediately calculate the shooting of Zhu Yuan and prepare to fire." Yuan Qingfeng's eyes flashed with excitement and he ordered decisively.
A few minutes later, Yuan Qingfeng saw the loaded No. 1 gun and gave a decisive order.
"One test shot from the No. 1 gun, fire..."
"Rumble...wuwuwu..."
The roar sounded instantly, and the moment flames and white smoke spurted out from the muzzle, a harsh scream sounded in the air, and then became weaker and weaker.
After waiting for two minutes, the radio station not far away rang.
"Report to the battalion commander, the observation post reported that the impact point was one kilometer south, and the range was 500 meters shorter."
Yuan Qingfeng reacted quickly and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Adjust the shooting elements. Each gun fires ten rounds rapidly. Prepare to fire..."
"boom……"
Although the explosion sounded outside the station, the noise was not small at all.
Colonel Yamamoto heard this clearly, then he got up from the British bed and rushed into the war room.
"What happened with the explosion just now? Was the station under attack?"
The deputy chief of staff on duty quickly reported: "Sir, the artillery shells fell outside the station. It must be the enemy who is conducting a test firing."
"I have ordered the artillery staff to calculate the specific location of the opponent's artillery positions."
Yamamoto immediately ordered: "Bagya Road, what's the use of calculations? Didn't you hear that the enemy just fired heavy artillery shells. Even if we know their specific location, the artillery we equipped can't reach them."
"Order the troops to move immediately and leave the station."
"The garrison must be planning to use heavy artillery to bombard our station. Why are we so dazed? Give the order quickly."
Several combat staff rushed out of the room like a storm.
Colonel Yamamoto believed in his own judgment. He suffered a big loss from the garrison a few days ago, and he still has lingering fears.
Now facing the garrison again, the first reaction was to be cautious, and followed the order: "Let's move too. They use heavy artillery, which is too powerful. If a shell hits it, the entire headquarters can be razed to the ground."
