The new camps of the Left Route Army and the Right Route Army have been built. In the morning before the two teams set off to garrison, the commander-in-chief summoned the leaders above the battalion to see them off. Of course, he also had new instructions.
"Today, the Navy Commander and Commander Yu will take the brothers from the Left Route Army and the Right Route Army to garrison in the new camp. This is a major event for our Manchuria Liberation Army to expand our defense. Everyone comes to support them.
I hope that after arriving at the new camp, the two armies will continue to strengthen their fortifications, step up troop training, and be ready to prevent the little devils from attacking and ensure that our Liberation Army base is impregnable! "
The commander-in-chief stood on a big rock and spoke to everyone in a majestic manner. Whether it was his temperament, expression, movements, or voice, they all showed the demeanor of the commander-in-chief, and received an immediate response from the brothers.
"Execute the Commander-in-Chief's orders!"
Everyone responded solemnly, but some stood at attention, some clasped their fists, some kneeled on one leg, and some saluted with one hand. There were all kinds of things, which seemed very chaotic.
"Starting from today, the new regulations of our Manchuria Liberation Army will be implemented. From now on, we will all stand at attention and salute our superiors and brothers. We will not use any other etiquette.
This new charter is now distributed to all armies. When you return home, organize your brothers to learn from it and stick to it in action. Anyone who violates it in the future will be dealt with according to this charter. I hope that brothers will strictly abide by military discipline!
There is also the need for our Manchuria Liberation Army to establish several departments. The purpose is to unify command and unified actions to build our Manchuria Liberation Army into a regular team and lay a solid foundation for future development.
Now we will establish four departments: one is the War Department, headed by the Navy Commander; the second is the Intelligence Department, headed by Commander Xiao; the third is the Money and Food Department, headed by the Army Commander; the fourth is the Unified Command Headquarters, headed by me.
The newly established departments are all located in Tianjiao Ridge. The person in charge is responsible for establishing and recommending candidates, and reports to the unified command for appointment. Brothers must each shoulder their responsibilities and play the role of each department. Now the two armies can set off! "
The commander-in-chief waved his hand and ended his speech. This time the brothers stood at attention and saluted in unison. Although it was not neat enough, it was still decent and showed the seriousness of being a soldier.
"Resolutely carry out the commander-in-chief's orders!"
After the brothers saluted, Captain Yu and Commander Yu each led their brothers away. When we arrived at the new garrison camp, it was of course necessary to continue to improve the defenses, and the lively military training also began.
The weather is getting cooler and the leaves in the mountains are starting to turn yellow. On this day, a spy from outside the mountain came to report that the Japanese were driving toward Tianyaoling in a menacing manner.
The force consists of an infantry squadron and an artillery squad. Under the leadership of the Jiangdong Independent Regiment, they are rushing towards Tianjiao Ridge, with a total of about 700 people.
Yu Chenglong ordered the spies to investigate again and report in time, and then arranged for Deputy Commander Zhang to lead the team to a state of combat readiness immediately, while he went to Tianjiao Ridge to report the situation to the commander-in-chief.
When I arrived at the general hall, I saw the general sitting in front of a hand-drawn topographic map and meditating. The commander-in-chief waved his hand to Jackie Chan and motioned for him to sit down and talk slowly.
"I have notified the Navy Commander and Commander Xiao. They will be here in a moment. You may also have received news that Wang Zhankui is leading his team and the Japanese to attack our Manchuria Liberation Army.
This time the enemy dispatched a total of more than 700 people, including a special artillery squad, to wipe out our Tianjiao Ridge. Their intentions were extremely sinister.
Wang Zhankui is such a noob. After he defected to the Japanese, Little Japan rewarded him with a leader called the Jiangdong Independent Regiment. This time it must have been his idea to lead the Japanese invasion.
Little Japan doesn’t know the location and strength of our Tianjiao Ridge, but Wang Zhankui does. It seems that the person who came here is evil. We have to discuss it carefully and see how to meet the enemy. "
Not long after the commander-in-chief introduced the situation, Commander Xiao and the Navy Commander arrived one after another, and people from the command department, war department, intelligence department, and money and food department also arrived one after another.
"Everyone knows the matter. The situation is urgent. We have called everyone together to see how we should fight this battle. Everyone can share their opinions."
The commander-in-chief presided over the discussion. He first explained the situation and pointed out the seriousness of the situation, but he did not say how to deal with it. This was not because the commander-in-chief had no plans in mind, but because he wanted to hear everyone's opinions first.
"It's not yet completely certain which direction the Japanese came from, but it's most likely they came from the south, because Wang Zhankui is more familiar with the route in that direction.
Tianyaoling and Yingzui Cliff where we were stationed were only two or three hundred miles away from Dulong Mountain. Wang Zhankui would definitely have sent someone to explore this direction when he was in Dulong Mountain.
In addition, when we pulled out of Dulong Mountain, we walked in this direction, so it is most likely that Wang Zhankui brought the little devil from this direction.
I suggest that we move all the troops in this direction, and strive to annihilate these bastards at Yingzui Cliff, and let the little devil and Wang Zhankui have a taste of our power!
The brothers are all well trained now. We are not afraid of the little Japs coming. There are only 700 of them. No matter how hard they come, they will never come back! "
The navy captain spoke categorically. Although his Feihu Village was crippled by the Japs, he had regained his confidence after the battle at Jiangyuan, not to mention that he was now eager for revenge.
"I think the Navy Captain's judgment is more accurate. My idea is to have the Navy Captain sniper from the front, and Commander Yu and I will lead our brothers to cover from both sides, striving to quickly repel the enemy.
If the enemy's fighting power is too strong and cannot withstand it, we must be prepared to retreat. We should arrange the retreat route now, and I will send someone to guide us when the time comes.
If we can't defeat us, we can't hold on. The most important thing is to preserve our strength. Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood. This is what beards did in the past. If the territory is gone, we can rebuild it again. "
Commander Xiao took over what the Navy Captain said and expressed her own opinion, but her point of not advocating a hard fight still made everyone silent for a moment, and they all looked up at the Commander-in-Chief.
The commander-in-chief still didn't express his thoughts immediately. He glanced at everyone with a solicitous look, and then fixed his gaze on Jackie Chan, obviously wanting him to express his opinion.
"Commander Yu, what do you think? Tell everyone."
"Returning to the commander-in-chief, I think we have to be prepared to fight and retreat. The Japanese invaders are full of anger when they attack this time, and they will not retreat easily.
I also agree with the navy captain's judgment, but what I mean is that we must first fight the Japanese for a day, then give him a surprise attack at night, and then lead the brothers to retreat.
After these two battles with the little devil, I found that the little devil is not good at night fighting, nor good at defense. We must seize his weaknesses and retreat after the fight.
Let the little devils be confused and unable to find us. No matter how effective the little devils are in fighting, there will be nothing we can do. After all, we have few manpower and cannot fight head on. "
