"This Xiao Zhu, what should I tell him to order?"
In the Huangyan Cave Arsenal, Commander-in-Chief Zhu looked at the telegram in his hand and rubbed his swollen and painful temples.
Vice President Peng was open-minded: "Haha, Lao Zhu, there's no need to be like this. It's a good thing anyway."
When the headquarters learned of Zhu Han's actions, it had been a while since the bombardment of the frontline battlefield.
Cao Zhong and Guan Rui were taken back to the 17th Regiment Headquarters to establish communication between the two parties.
Who can't see that Zhu Han did it on purpose?
But you can't say that he took action and didn't report it.
The reasons have been prepared for a long time:
I have never had a radio station before, so I don’t know the channel and password of our eighth channel.
Now that the radio station has been built, but it cannot contact the headquarters, it can only use its own code book to find fighters on its own.
Hear, hear!
Is this human language?
If you can build a radio station, you should have told us earlier!
Can I send you one of your mechanical and electrical personnel and a code book?
It’s just that they don’t want to be controlled by us.
If you want to evaluate Zhu Han's action, all cadres below the division level would give a thumbs up and say: Beautiful!
But if you are above the division level, the evaluation given is: reckless!
Use small groups of troops to penetrate behind enemy lines in a roundabout way.
Destroy a regiment and a brigade of Japanese soldiers, and take out a regiment of puppet troops.
Captured 23 heavy artillery pieces and a base number of artillery shells, and effectively supported the defense battle of Liao County.
Doesn’t it sound quite enjoyable?
It's like Mr. Guan is showing his sage.
But in the eyes of senior military officers, isn't going roundabout the same as going deep alone?
Now there are no troops in the entire Shandong land that can support them.
Once there is no friendly forces to cooperate, it will be more fun to fight in the early stage, but it will be more miserable to be surrounded in the later stage.
Zhu Han is a treasure, this is the consensus of all insiders in the army.
But babies also have prices.
A Southern Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain vase is a treasure, priceless.
But it is incomparable to the Qingming Riverside Scene.
It is true that the Eighth Route Army is short of guns and ammunition, but compared with the Japanese, all the weapons are indistinguishable.
Such disadvantages can be made up for through time, soldiers, and strategies and tactics.
If Zhu Han could build some guns and cannons before, or even aircraft and tanks, it would only provide a large number of high-value tactical weapons.
It improves the unit's combat effectiveness and tactical and strategic error tolerance, and reduces casualties.
But the moment he built the radio station, its nature completely changed.
On the battlefield, the availability of information, or the speed of information circulation, can directly determine the direction of a certain battle, and even the success or failure.
So even if the radio station is not a new thing, it is an absolute strategic material.
At this time, the Eighth Route commanders and fighters became more and more aware that what he said about establishing a Chinese industrial system was really not a joke.
But the more this happens, the more important he feels... and reckless.
This Zhu Han.
You could say he has no plan. He took risks in order to control the direction of a large-scale battle.
You can say that he has a plan. He took risks in order to control the direction of a large-scale battle.
Commander Zhu held his forehead and sighed softly:
"Now he is not just a thorn in the enemy's side, but a sharp knife stuck in the enemy's heart! Do you think the enemy can let him go easily?"
Of course, Vice President Peng understood his concerns: "Don't worry, Comrade Xiao Zhu has never been a reckless person. He should have his own considerations. Anyway, the matter has already happened, and it is unrealistic to want him to withdraw."
"But..." Vice President Peng changed the topic, "We can't just watch the enemy surround Xiao Zhu. I would say, let's just implement the backup plan in advance."
Mr. Zhu looked up at him and said calmly: "You mean... lure the enemies over before they react?"
Mr. Peng: "Yes, the more pressure we have here, the less danger there will be for Xiao Zhu. We can all die, but Xiao Zhu is our hope for China..."
…
"The commanders have no confidence in us at all."
Zhu Han looked at the telegram in his hand and was speechless.
He knew that as long as he contacted the headquarters, he would not be able to act freely.
No, the order is coming.
"no?"
Zhu Xi was standing by and saw it inexplicably. Isn't it just an ordinary order?
Where can I find so much information?
"In war, you have to use your brain." Zhu Han shook his head slightly and explained to Zhu Xi, "The order says that we should stop supporting the artillery bombardment, prepare to defend against the enemy's counterattack, and wait for an opportunity to retreat."
"Three blocking lines were set up at the headquarters, which made it clear that we were going to fight the Japanese to the bitter end."
"The first line of defense is still intact. If the troops are allowed to hold on to the defense line or launch a counterattack, they can kill a large number of enemy troops under the cover of heavy artillery."
"That's more than 20,000 enemies. We have big weapons like heavy artillery. It would be irresponsible to the soldiers to leave them unused."
"But in that case, our place is a key area that the devils have to pay attention to."
"If the enemy defeats us, he may not win, but if he cannot defeat us, he will definitely lose."
"But the headquarters wants us to cease fire at this time, which means it is not unnecessary, but meaningless."
Zhu Xi tilted his head. Was there no point in the heavy artillery bombardment?
What does it mean?
Zhu Han chuckled, seeing that he still didn't understand, and continued to explain:
"We are 10 kilometers away from the enemy's station, and the maximum range of the Type 96 150mm howitzer is 12 kilometers, and the battlefield is between 10 and 12 kilometers. In other words, the shelling coordinates provided by Cao Zhong were already our ultimate range. ”
"To think about it differently, what if the headquarters wants to move the battlefield 12 kilometers away?"
"What?!" Zhu Xi finally understood the meaning of this, "Why did they do this?"
"Why? Because they know that in the eyes of the Japanese, the Eighth Route Headquarters is much more valuable than our special forces."
"If we continue to block the enemy, they will send heavy troops to eliminate our biggest threat first."
"And once the Japanese find that the front is open, they will first use the headquarters as the main target and send small groups of troops to deal with us."
Zhu Xi fell silent. As Zhu Chui, he always obeyed the advice of the young man in front of him.
In his eyes, Zhu Han could not make a wrong decision.
Before this operation, Zhu Han was afraid that Lao Liu and the others would stop them, so he tied up Lao Liu and Zhao Sizhe himself.
But now, for the first time, he felt that Zhu Han was wrong, and he was even more wrong.
The commander-in-chief and the others care too much about the pearl Zhu Han.
Even if you have to use yourself as bait, you must protect him.
But what about yourself? He actually indulged him and even helped him do whatever he did.
Alas, if I had known earlier, it would have been Zhu Han who was tied up at that time.
At this time, Zhu Han did not feel any guilt at all and directly ordered the correspondent loudly:
"Send the report directly to Commander Chen of the 17th Regiment and ask him if he dares to play with me before retreating! I will bear all the blame!"
Zhu Xi, who had changed his mentality, quickly stopped:
"Director, the commander-in-chief is protecting you with his life, we can no longer disobey orders!"
"Disobedience?" Zhu Han was furious when he heard this, "Is my life, Zhu Han, more valuable than those of those soldiers?"
"I am the commander-in-chief of the soldiers, but if we don't provide artillery support, how many soldiers will die? Aren't they the heroes raised by their parents?"
"I admit that there will be casualties in battle, but I will never allow the soldiers to die in vain because of my cowardice!"
"Now! Immediately! Prepare to defend against the enemy's attack! If you don't obey the order, you will go back to the guerrillas after the battle!"
With trembling hands, Zhu Xi saluted Zhu Han with a standard military salute: "Yes!"
Zhu Han's rare rage made everyone around him wipe his tears.
Not only Zhu Xi, but everyone present agreed on one thing.
Eighth Route, Zhu Han, I have recognized it for the rest of my life!
Once the situation is critical, even if you risk your life, you must escort Zhu Han to break out.
Seeing everyone starting to get busy, Zhu Han's eyes were firm.
Does he know that neither of the two commanders-in-chief has a good temper?
Especially Mr. Peng, who is always willing to withdraw people's names.
But the telegrams they sent were gentle and peaceful.
This is an expression of deep love.
But Zhu Han would rather the two commanders furiously send telegrams to scold him than do this.
I, Zhu Han, can die, but the senior commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army are China's hope.
What's more, he is not without confidence to face the approaching enemy army.
Because the land he stepped on was called Guanjianao.
