When Yu Chenglong saw the commander-in-chief asking him to speak, he immediately expressed his thoughts. However, everyone can feel from his speech that his views are still more inclined to Commander Xiao.
The commander-in-chief still did not immediately comment on Jackie Chan's speech. He continued to solicit the opinions of other people who joined the meeting. When everyone stopped speaking, the commander-in-chief stood up and issued his order seriously.
"Well, the three of you have expressed your opinions. I think we can make a decision based on the combination. Let's conclude that the Japs will definitely invade Tianyaoling from the south this time.
Our Manchuria Liberation Army has just been established. After the great victory at Jiangyuan, it has already gained a reputation far and wide. This is our spiritual foundation, and little devils dare not take it lightly!
The little devil and Wang Zhankui came here with great force this time, hoping to wipe us out in one fell swoop. We must not let their plot succeed easily.
We, Tianjiao Ridge, have just built something. We have spent so much effort on it, brothers, so we cannot give up easily. If we win this time, it will shake up Manchuria again!
From now on, even if our reputation is established, we can attract more people with lofty ideals to join us. Therefore, we must muster up the courage to fight the Japanese devils to the end!
Go back and tell your brothers that you must have the courage to show off your desperate spirit and momentum to defeat everything. Anyone who disobeys orders or escapes from battle will be punished on the spot!
Now I am ordering: First, all armies should prepare for war on the spot. They will wait until the enemy's accurate attack route is determined before mobilizing. During this period, they must be prepared for a tough battle.
Second, each army quickly sent people to different directions to inquire about information, and sent out sentries fifty miles away, and reported to the headquarters at any time.
Third, the Ministry of Finance and Food should distribute enough food and ammunition to the brothers, bury the rest on the spot, and make final emergency measures based on the development of the situation.
Fourth, the Intelligence Department immediately formulates an evacuation plan and all personnel must be prepared for evacuation. Of course, we will not retreat unless it is absolutely necessary, but we must be prepared.
Fifth, from now on, the command headquarters will immediately enter a state of combat readiness, send orders to all armies every half an hour, and coordinate the defense of various locations.
Sixth, each army commander should arrange his team after returning, do a good job in mobilizing before the war, and be ready for combat orders at any time. From now on, we must share the same hatred with the enemy, stand ready, and resolutely keep the invading enemy away from Tianyaoling!
The navy commander took all the war department personnel to Eagle Beak Cliff. If the enemy comes to attack, they must insist on focusing on defense and do not attack rashly.
You can send a small team from behind the mountain to the enemy's left side to harass and attack, and try to lead the Japanese into the west ravine of Yingzui Cliff.
Commander Yu is ready to assist the Navy Captain from the west, and Commander Xiao is ready to assist the Navy Captain from the front. During the battle, move quickly and fight hard, and after the battle, you will be rewarded based on your merits. Go back and get ready immediately. The meeting is over. "
The commander-in-chief finally issued the order. Everyone felt that this order was relatively complete and feasible, so everyone stood up and saluted.
"Resolutely carry out the commander-in-chief's orders!"
There were not too many words, and there was no hesitation or doubt. Everyone seemed full of confidence, with a strong ambition to unite and look forward to death!
Yu Chenglong returned to Mopan Mountain, gathered his brothers together, personally conveyed the commander-in-chief's order, mobilized before the battle, and arranged for the team to be fortified. Then he came to the foot of the mountain connected to Tianjiao Ridge and waited for the commander-in-chief's order.
In half a day and one night, the commander-in-chief sent people more than ten times, but they were all orders to prepare for battle and the current position of the Little Japanese and the Jiangdong Independent Regiment.
For the last time, the commander-in-chief ordered Yu Chenglong's team to quickly move closer to Yingzui Cliff, saying that it had been determined that the Little Devils and the Jiangdong Independent Regiment would attack from the direction of Yingzui Cliff, and asked Yu Chenglong to start taking action when he heard the fighting in that direction.
At this time, it was already daylight. Yu Chenglong quickly returned to the mountain and asked the team to make a fire to cook immediately. He also sent ten brothers out to observe the enemy's situation in the direction of Yingzui Cliff.
Let them join up with the twenty brothers sent out yesterday. The main purpose is to gather information. They must not attack rashly. Everything must wait until he arrives before making a decision.
Just after eating, the team was getting ready to go, but the brother who was sent out to inquire for information came back and reported that the Japs and Wang Zhankui's people in the direction of Yingzui Cliff had already exchanged fire with the Navy Captain and others.
The battle was fierce from the beginning, and the enemy's artillery fire and attacks were very fierce. Fortunately, the navy commander and the others were well prepared, and the terrain of Yingzui Cliff was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the little devil did not succeed.
Yu Chenglong sent Deputy Commander Zhang Daoxian to lead fifty brothers there first, saying that he would arrive with his men later. Yu Chenglong left only ten brothers and made arrangements for their garrison.
"Hide all the remaining food and weapons on the mountain, and then guard Mopan Mountain. If there is an enemy attack and you cannot hold on, immediately retreat to Tianjiao Ridge, join the commander-in-chief and others, and follow Commander Xiao's command."
After the arrangements were made, Yu Chenglong led fifty brothers to chase Deputy Commander Zhang and the others. Halfway through, another brother came to report that the battle in Yingzui Cliff was tense, the enemy's artillery fire was fierce, and the brothers in Yingzui Cliff suffered heavy casualties.
The situation was urgent. Yu Chenglong sent people to quickly contact Deputy Commander Zhang in front and asked him to advance quickly, occupy the hilltop on the west side of Yingzui Cliff, attack the enemy from the flank, and support the battle of Yingzui Cliff.
When Yu Chenglong arrived with his men, Deputy Commander Zhang had already exchanged fire with the enemy, and the gunfire was fierce. After the two teams came together, they repelled the enemy's attack. But then, Japanese artillery fire also struck their side.
"How is it going?"
Yu Chenglong pulled Deputy Commander Zhang Daoxian into a hiding place and asked him about the current battle situation. At this time, the Japs' artillery fire was still relatively fierce, causing branches and soil to fly everywhere, and Zhang Daoxian had to increase his voice.
"The Eagle's Mouth Cliff on the opposite side was about to be unable to withstand it. Thanks to us arriving in time. Seeing that we were flanked by two sides, the little devils sent out their forces to attack us, but the intensity of the attack on the Eagle's Mouth Cliff remained unabated.
There are not that many Japs, just over a hundred. Wang Zhankui's independent regiment, which consisted of more than 400 people, had moved from the ditch in front to the back of Yingzui Cliff, preparing to attack from behind. Yingzui Cliff was more dangerous. "
Deputy Commander Zhang Daoxian gave a more detailed answer, but Yu Chenglong thought for a long time and said nothing. At this time, the Japs' artillery fire began to stop, but no Japs soldiers rushed up the mountain.
"Brother Zhang, hold on here first. Don't let the enemy attack no matter what. I will lead people to go around and attack the little devil's artillery position from the southwest.
When I succeed, you and your brothers will cover my retreat. If the little devils do not have artillery support, their combat effectiveness and offensive power will be greatly weakened. "
