"Send a report to Lao Liu! Ask him whether he is the division commander of the Eighth Route Army or the Japanese! His subordinates dare to disobey orders!"
"What does Madman Wang do for a living! He can't even manage his own troops?!"
"If something happens to Xiao Zhu, I will withdraw his 129th division number!!"
Mr. Peng, who knew the situation on the front line, was furious and roared so loudly that people outside the house felt their ears hurt.
They were told to retreat, but they didn't say anything at all, saying that the Japanese had launched an attack and that they would retreat after completing this blockade.
The results of it?
He took the Independent Second Regiment and rushed out!
Think we are stupid, right?
Doesn’t this damn thing just want to take advantage of the heavy artillery support to kill more Japanese!
Do you know that if they attack, the Japanese will definitely send heavy troops to attack Zhu Han's troops?
Isn’t Commander Chen of your 17th regiment usually a very steady person?
Why are you acting like a reckless man now?
When it’s over, I’ll have to remove you from your post!
After all, this was the 1940s. At this time, the equipment capable of wireless real-time communication was very rare, and there was almost no equipment here on the Eighth Road.
Therefore, the information received by the Eighth Route Headquarters is always half a beat late, and there is nothing we can do about it.
Mr. Zhu also had a sullen look on his face, which showed that he was also very angry:
"This Xiao Zhu, when this thing is over, I have to give him a good lesson. It's so outrageous!"
"Report, telegram from the 17th Regiment!" The electromechanical man hurried over with the belated telegram in his hand, "Our unit and the 2nd Independent Regiment have severely damaged the enemy and are now retreating. The enemy has been enraged and is attacking our unit. Hot pursuit.”
Mr. Peng walked up to the mechanical and electrical officer, grabbed the telegram, read it carefully and got a general understanding of the matter.
Although the anger is still lingering, his attitude has obviously improved a lot: "Huh! He's not too stupid!"
Mr. Zhu finally sent the message, and the big stone in his heart finally lost a lot of weight: "How is it going in other directions?"
The staff officer next to him immediately reported: "The 772nd Regiment is blocking the enemy at the bottom of Xiaoling. It has repelled three enemy attacks. There is not much pressure on the front line to respond."
"The Qinbei detachment is responsible for blocking the enemies in Gucheng and Zhangyuan, and is currently in a stalemate."
"The 385th Brigade is fighting with the enemies of Po'anfeng and Mafang."
"The Pinghe and Pingliao detachments have crossed the river, but are now blocked by Heshun's enemies."
"Report! Zhu Han is calling!"
An unexpected source of the message immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"This brat, finally remembered that the Eighth Route Army has a command post?"
As mentioned before, the password on Zhu Han's side is different from that on the Eighth Route.
He used Chinese pinyin as a password very simply and crudely.
This basic skill of Chinese people in the 21st century is definitely a novelty nowadays.
Anyway, it's just for temporary use, it's simple and systematic, and the Japanese can't crack it yet.
But the problem is that the Eighth Route Army cannot crack it, so now Zhu Han has to go through the relay station of the 17th Regiment to communicate with the headquarters.
Commander Zhu received the message with a strange expression.
After reading it, he sighed and handed it to Mr. Peng: "Oh, this brat, what should I say to him?"
The message explained his thoughts in detail.
In particular, he emphasized that he was also a member of the Eighth Route Army. Like the soldiers, he had no hierarchy.
The production of weapons and equipment is the result of the collective labor of the entire factory, not his alone, so he will never accept special treatment.
For this operation, he was fully prepared in terms of armaments, training and terrain reconnaissance, and the factory guards were strong enough to fight.
His operation this time was to relieve the pressure on the headquarters and reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
I implore commanders not to exclude them from such matters as killing the enemy and serving the country.
Seeing the touching words on the paper, even Mr. Peng, who had such a bad temper, felt discouraged.
Zhu Han, you committed a foul!
A comrade like you is simply unbearable!
"Oh, this silly boy..."
Mr. Zhu rubbed his forehead and said resignedly: "Forget it, he is not a reckless person, just let him be."
"We also have our own things to do."
Mr. Peng nodded and turned to ask the staff officer Xiang Zuo: "Xiao Zuo, how are the preparations going?"
"Haha, don't worry! It's already been prepared!"
"Okay, follow the plan."
"Mr. Peng! Regiment 17 urgent call!"
"...Call him back, agree to the action, and execute it immediately!"
"yes!"
…
Although Captain Chen of the 17th Regiment did not follow Zhu Han's plan, he objectively helped Zhu Han.
Now Jingguan Ren has been completely angered.
To give an analogy, it's equivalent to playing LOL, when Yasuo on the other side is making various moves, five of you surround him and beat him up, but he tricks him around and ends up killing two of you.
Angry?
What if he runs away in blood in the end?
What if you chase him in anger, and someone from the other side comes to support you and kills you?
At this moment, Jingguan Ren is countless times more angry than you.
Even in his eyes, Zhu Han no longer had any cannonballs.
But they still sent over the remaining half of the regiment, more than 1,700 Japanese soldiers, and the two pseudo-legions of 4,000 people.
Artillery without shells is naturally not worth mentioning, but are we attacking the enemy?
Those are the faces of the most loyal warriors (ourselves) of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan.
If they were allowed to retreat like this, the entire First Army might have to be withdrawn.
If Jingguan Ren is really killed, his replacement will never be able to send less than half of his army.
Shame? That's Jingguan's incompetence.
He is now dead in battle, and I am the one who can turn the tide.
Anyway, the enemy behind them has no more artillery shells. If the plan to attack the arsenal is frustrated or even failed.
With the strength of such an arsenal, they might not be able to produce heavy artillery shells.
That is a disaster.
"Boom! Boom!"
"Da da da!"
The gunfire of the battle finally sounded in Guanjianao.
A lot of enemies came, about 6,000 people.
This is equivalent to a quarter of what they were when they set out.
If you count the enemies annihilated in these battles, there will only be half the people at the headquarters.
After making this conclusion, Zhu Xi, who put down the telescope, breathed a sigh of relief. It should be fine... right?
"Everyone! Get ready for artillery fire!"
"boom!"
"Artillery observer, enter the designated position!"
"boom!"
"Company 7 and 8, prepare to rescue the wounded!"
"boom!"
…
The 7th and 8th companies suffered most of their casualties after fierce battles. Their structures were still there, but basically none of them failed.
Originally, only 800 people could go to the frontal battlefield, but now there were only more than 600 people left who could fight.
What's more, this village is not big to begin with, and it can't be used here at all, so now there are only more than 400 people in the village.
But the enemies who came over didn't know that they only had so few people.
When they discovered that the guardsmen actually dared to shoot at them, they were naturally treated as a large force of several thousand people.
Come up with full firepower and saturate the attack.
The Type 92 infantry cannon that came with the team made the barrel red, and it would hiss if it accidentally touched it.
Not only the inside of the village, but also the attack route outside was washed over and over again by artillery fire, just to eliminate the eight-way directional mines.
It can be seen how much shadow this thing brought to them.
But will the Eighth Route Army be afraid that they will do this?
of course not!
The trenches they dug were layer upon layer, one inside the other.
Under the guidance of Zhu Han, countless anti-gun weapons-cat-ear holes were dug out.
In the original timeline, this thing was invented by the Japanese in Guanjianao, and it really caused a headache for all the officers and soldiers of the 129th Division. (The 129th Division was almost withdrawn.)
But how could Zhu Han give them this opportunity?
The land was immediately occupied in advance and the hole was dug.
Guanjianao, this is a small place that has no sense of existence except for the history of the Anti-Japanese War.
It is located on a high slope with cliffs on three sides. The entire village has only a small narrow road with a fairly steep slope for entry and exit.
Because there was no way out, every household built a ten-foot-high courtyard wall to resist the bandits.
But don’t think that the earthen walls are soft and will collapse when touched.
The Great Wall before the Ming Dynasty had always been made of earth.
Ordinary small cannons can't penetrate it, let alone bullets?
With the help of such a courtyard wall, coupled with the fortifications built by trenches and sandbags, the guard's machine guns can even form a three-dimensional firepower cross network with complementary high and low levels.
What's more, there's just such a small road going there, unobstructed.
If there are too many people, it won’t be able to spread out. If there are few people, it will be a living target.
Is this the trail into the city?
No!
This is the road that will send you Japanese and Japanese devils to the underworld!
Referred to as **!
