In the headquarters of the 17th Regiment, all the commanders and soldiers were very confused when faced with Zhu Han's proposal.
Ordinarily, as a soldier, it is your bounden duty to obey orders, especially the orders from the headquarters. The meaning is very obvious, that is, you must risk your life to protect Zhu Han.
There is no need to say more about Zhu Han's current status in the Eighth Route Army.
But his plan was too tempting.
Not only can it kill a large number of Japanese soldiers, but it can also greatly reduce casualties and the difficulty of the next defense. This opportunity is really rare.
Although they are not afraid of the Japs at all after being supplemented, their overall military strength is still inferior to the Japs.
The order from the headquarters is to abandon the two lines of defense and release the Japanese.
But in that case, wouldn’t that be the last line of defense left?
If the enemy breaks through, the consequences will be disastrous.
Zhu Han's plan was almost perfect except for the only risk of being able to withstand the enemy's attack.
"Old Chen, what do you think?" Deputy Captain Wu was the first to break the silence.
Captain Chen held a cigarette in his hand and looked at the map in a daze. He didn't react until the cigarette burned out and burned his hand.
The final decision rests with him, and what is needed now is his responsibility as the leader of the team.
"beat!"
Captain Chen made up his mind and punched the table.
"Comrade Zhu Han is right, we will definitely fight! But we can't follow what he said!"
Hearing Captain Chen say this, everyone present immediately concentrated their attention.
"Which reserve team is behind us?"
"The second independent regiment of a desperate column."
"Okay, time is urgent. Go there in person and ask them to cooperate with us, as well as the stretcher team and transport team. Anyway, mobilize everyone who can cooperate with us!"
"Captain, do you want to ask your superiors for instructions?"
Captain Chen shook his head: "We don't have time. Let's look for fighters on our own. Remember! It has nothing to do with Factory Director Zhu. The fault is all mine!"
"yes!"
At this time, Zhu Han was still pacing back and forth anxiously in the command post.
Is this what is called strategizing?
It's so good, I don't want to experience it a second time.
"Factory director, Commander Chen called back and said that he generally agrees with your plan, but requires that he direct the artillery strikes."
Hearing such a reply, Zhu Han breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously complained:
"I'm so damn anxious. If the leader is Li Yunlong, why should I be so anxious?"
"Call him back and all the artillery will be under his command!"
…
The Eighth Route Army's execution capabilities are second to none in the world.
Soon the 17th regiment was assembled.
"Nani?"
The Japanese scouts were stunned when they saw all this through their binoculars.
Is the Eighth Route Army going to organize an attack?
And it was a full-scale attack that gave up the position?
It's unreasonable.
But it's not their job to think about what the Eighth Route Army is going to do.
Just bring the information.
Soon, Jingguan Ren learned about this situation.
But he was also confused.
What kind of trouble are these gangs going to make?
Is it because of the expansion of artillery support?
It shouldn’t be, this is not the Eighth Route Army’s style.
Don't forget, they are protecting the headquarters and arsenal.
Even if you are counterattacking, you cannot give up your position and conduct a stud attack.
Is the commander a reckless gambler?
That's not right either. It can be clearly seen from the previous attacks that his commanding style is quite stable.
Is this the plan to directly bombard the base of the large army?
That's even more of a joke.
Ever since we learned that the heavy artillery had been captured, the army garrison had long been dispersed.
Not only that, each army sent out as many sentries as possible and as far away as possible.
Now the entire station is airtight, and artillery scouts can't even touch it. How can you bombard it without coordinates?
It's true that you captured my heavy artillery, and I really didn't expect that your Eighth Route Army was so powerful, which caused me considerable losses.
But cannonballs are just a base number, right?
If we talk about forced shelling, the effect on such scattered targets will not be much better. If you are not afraid of wasting shells, just come!
In a short period of time, Jingguan Ren couldn't figure out what kind of medicine these eight-way gourds were selling.
"Your Majesty Lieutenant General, the scouts just came to report that the entire Uda brigade was shattered!"
"What?" Jingguan Ren jumped up, his face full of disbelief, "How long has it been?"
That's right, it's only been seven or eight hours since the exchange of fire with the Eighth Route Army.
That was a large army. Under normal circumstances, even if it was facing a Chinese army five times its size, it would not be destroyed in such a short time.
Not to mention the Imperial Alliance Army who followed them in the past.
It was an entire regiment of Japanese weapons, more than 2,000 people, and they were all loyal servants. There was absolutely no possibility of defecting in the face of battle.
How strong is the combat power required to do this?
Could it be the Eighth Route Ace Unit?
No, then what are the blocking people in front of me doing?
You know clearly that my army is going to your headquarters and arsenal to attack the border, but you leave the ace troops unused and let the second-rate troops be responsible for blocking?
Okay, okay, maybe it's a grand strategy laid out by the two commanders-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army.
It is not impossible to surround and annihilate our large force in turn.
But if that's the case, wouldn't it be better for the large troops behind you to use artillery support to just dig out my anus?
Why sacrifice the near and seek distant support to block the battlefield?
Is it possible that there is only a small force behind me and is not capable of attacking my large force?
Then let’s go back again.
It took a few hours to wipe out an entire artillery regiment, and then it took a few hours to wipe out an entire field infantry brigade and a Japanese weapons regiment.
What a powerful small force this must be?
It’s so off the mark!
Now Jingguan Ren is really one of the top two, and I can't figure out what's going on.
It feels like the Eighth Route Army has never been normal since the last raid until now.
What he does always exceeds everyone's expectations with precision.
He must be in a position that keeps him sane at all times.
But the problem is, the more rationally he analyzes the clues, the more the conclusions make him unable to continue rationally.
"Immediately dispatch the Shangtang Brigade and the Dagu Brigade to lead the three regiments of the Imperial Army to the south, and be sure to capture the Eighth Route Artillery..."
"boom!"
Just when Jingguan Ren issued the order, the 17th Regiment's attack had already begun.
They used mortar smoke grenades to hide themselves.
Use the craters of previous heavy artillery to dodge bullets and gunfire.
The attack was slow and slow, as if they were the ones pressing down on the enemy.
The ferocious firepower came and went.
Under the excellent command and dispatch, the Eighth Route Army did not increase casualties very much, but the firepower point of the Japanese side had to be exposed.
All this was recorded by Cao Zhong and Guan Rui who were following behind.
Yes, this attack is more like fire reconnaissance.
As the ticking sound of the telegram rushed to the sky, Zhu Han quickly got the information.
Hot shells, filled with endless fury, were poured out by the heavy cannon with its ferocious mouth.
After a round of shelling, the Japanese squadron that bore the brunt was immediately reduced by half.
The rest were quickly taken care of by the warriors who rushed up.
This can be regarded as the prelude to the counterattack of the 17th Regiment.
The effect this time was obviously not as good as the last time.
The last time it was because the Japanese didn't know that the heavy artillery was captured by the Eighth Route Army, they dared to charge so intensively.
Now that I know it, how can I not be prepared for gunfire?
It should be said that the current results are normal.
Thanks to the vast plains here, it’s all flat land.
If there is another hill or something, the enemy will lie down on the reverse slope, and the lethality will be greatly reduced.
"Lieutenant General Jingguan, this group of Eighth Route Army rushed in with the support of heavy artillery."
"Oh? What are they doing? Think they are invincible if they have heavy artillery?"
Jingguan Ren muttered to himself, and then quickly asked: "In which direction are they attacking?"
The signal corpsman quickly replied: "They came for us, they seem to know where the headquarters is!"
"What?"
If Cao Zhong and Guan Rui heard their conversation, they would laugh at each other.
Why do you think we have to sneak past you under your noses even though we can bypass you?
He almost got caught!
I'm just here to find your doghouse!
At this time, Commander Chen of the 17th Regiment, who had been following him, ordered the two of them:
"Report to Factory Director Zhu the coordinates of the Japs ahead, and shoot Xu Jin's barrage in the direction of the Japs command post!"
"yes!"
