Received a call for help from Xinglong Town.
The commander of the Meixian military police, the commander of the public security army, and the garrison major gathered together.
The office phone kept ringing.
"The news that the imperial army stationed in Xinglong Town left late at night and was transferred to the south is top-secret intelligence from the empire. How did Tuba Road know that Xinglong Town's defenses were empty?" The garrison major looked at the map with a dark face, puzzled.
"Some time ago, the Eighth Route Army attacked the military camp." The newly transferred commander of the security army quickly explained: "The Eighth Route Army gathered so many people to launch an attack. It is definitely not something that can be accomplished in three or two days. It should be just a coincidence..."
The commander of the military police did not dwell on this matter. He interrupted with a straight face and went straight to the point: "We will investigate this matter later and find out how to catch all the Tuba Road who attacked Xinglong Town."
In the view of the Major, this kind of battlefield is actually very simple. The Major pointed to the map and said, "We must find out where the Eighth Route Army came from? Why did they attack Xinglong Town? Where will they go after attacking Xinglong Town?"
The Commander-in-Chief of the Zhijun Army was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He followed the Shao Zuo's train of thought and boasted: "We must first investigate the current situation clearly. We must find out how many people are coming from the Eighth Route, what is the firepower configuration, what is the number of the Eighth Route, who is the commander, and who are they?" How are the troops arranged and how is the progress on the battlefield?"
Hearing the eloquent words of the newly transferred commander of the security army, the Japanese Major could not help but look at him with admiration: "Commander Liu, no. Commander Liu's military command ability is indeed extraordinary, keep talking!"
Commander Liu did not hide his clumsiness: "As long as we master this information, we will formulate corresponding combat plans based on these battlefield conditions, and finally issue orders for all ministries to implement them as planned."
At this point, Commander Liu paused: "The battlefield is ever-changing, and what remains is for commanders at all levels to take response measures according to changes in the battlefield situation. As excellent commanders, we should first learn to delegate power. If we set too many Too many rules and regulations may restrict their performance, which is called generals being outside and not being given their orders.”
The Japanese Major was stunned for a moment. This seemed to be somewhat different from the theory of the Imperial Army Army School. It was obvious that the opinion proposed by this person was more suitable for the current situation and more specific.
It seems that this person does have real talent and learning.
The battlefield plan is not complicated to formulate. It does not matter how many troops are sent out, how many routes they are divided into, when to set off, and how to communicate with each other. If a situation goes beyond the plan, the commander will make fine adjustments based on the actual battlefield situation.
The commander of the Binbing Army had his own things to do. He had to find out why the Eighth Route Army dared to come out in such a big way, and why he didn't receive any information beforehand...
Soon, a series of orders began to be issued.
Five miles north of Xinglong Town.
Security Army stronghold.
Gunfire rumbled to the south.
After receiving the news that the Eighth Route Army was besieging Xinglong Town, the newly promoted battalion commander of the security army immediately took the order and took his men with him to rush back to the town to help.
The puppet troops in the artillery towers along the way joined in one after another.
There seems to be gunfire?
Battalion Commander Zhi led a group of men and became increasingly nervous as they headed south.
Before noticing the figure of the Eighth Route Army, they bumped into his men who were retreating from the gun tower near the battlefield.
The leader who escaped was the pseudo-company commander, who even ran away with his gun.
He quickly grabbed a rifle from his subordinates and put it on his back, then ran to the battalion commander and reported: "Oh my God, there are eight gangsters everywhere in and outside Xinglong Town."
"What's going on?"
"Well, the Eighth Route Army first sent people to the east to attack our old barracks where the Imperial Army was stationed. The Eighth Route Army was called... There is strength in numbers. Not even a single person from the Imperial Army dared to come out of the barracks. Following the Eighth Route Army, they would be defeated in just a few minutes. Xinglong Town has taken care of those brothers with weak legs, and they are definitely in danger now." The Zhi Company exaggerated Gao Yida in his long words, but they obviously didn't move.
Battalion Commander Zhi felt that the sun was rising from the west: "What are you talking about? There are eight soldiers everywhere? Even the imperial army dare not move? Did your mother see it wrong?"
"Can I see this wrong? The Eighth Route Army also sent people to carry the home guard's gun tower. If we run a step slower, you will have to collect the bodies of our brothers when you come here." The pseudo-company commander cried with a sad face, and must tell the Eighth Route Army that It's even more powerful, otherwise I would definitely be in trouble if I left my post without permission.
Knowing the character of his men, he must be exaggerating, but the battalion commander still showed timidity: "Did the Eighth Route Army continue to come north?"
"Why didn't he come? If he didn't come, could I run away? The Eighth Route Army also brought hoes and shovels, digging roads everywhere."
Bang bang
The sound of gunfire interrupted the yelling exchange between the two.
Battalion Commander Zhi was startled.
Company Commander Zhi shouted directly: "Oh, the leading troops of the Eighth Route Army are chasing us again!"
"Why panic!" Battalion Commander Zhi took out his pistol and prepared to order his men to meet the enemy.
Company Commander Zhi quickly grabbed the battalion commander's arm and whispered: "My good brother, the citrons in their early years will die first, and the birds out of the forest will die first. This life is yours, and you don't want to be a warrior in the limelight. No matter how many awards you receive from the imperial army, nothing is more important than your own life."
"But the leader is still in town"
The platoon commander lowered his voice: "You have always regarded me as a brother. The Eighth Route Army will definitely kill you this time. Even if the regiment commander dies, don't try to make the limelight. You spent money to be promoted from company commander to battalion commander." We always thought we would get rich, but what happened? The imperial army merged villages and merged towns into concentration camps, and we were all reduced to the status of watchdogs. Besides, don’t you think that our food now is not as good as before. We used to have two sets of summer and winter clothes every year? This year, I’m still wearing my old clothes from last year, and my underwear has two holes and I can’t bear to throw it away.”
Is the battalion commander a fool? Of course not, the point is, if he turns around and runs away now, how will he behave in the future?
You have to find steps!
Company Commander Zhi is quite discerning: "How about you lead the team to retreat first, and I will take the lead."
"Okay, I'll go back and mobilize a large force to follow for reinforcements." Such subordinates are considerate. The pseudo-battalion commander shouted loudly, and then whispered: "The imperial army just wants us to bite the tail of the Eighth Route Army. After I leave, you can fire as many shots as you like." Just leave! Wait until the Imperial Army from the county town arrives before making plans."
"Yes!" Captain Zhi stood at attention first, and then without hesitation shouted an order to the security troops who were fleeing behind: "Brothers, even if we are all dead, we will drag the Eighth Route Army here."
Therefore, the battalion commander who wanted to go back to mobilize people hurriedly took his people back north to mobilize people. Now he is only retreating temporarily.
Company commander Zhi stayed behind to block the attack.
Seeing Battalion Commander Zhi walking away, his platoon leader cursed: "This tortoise can run faster than a rabbit."
Captain Zhi didn't panic now: "You know what the hell, in these days, we not only have to live, but we also have to live nourished. If anything happens, these idiot officers will be there to take care of it. Wait a minute, send someone first." Brother, go negotiate with the Eighth Route Army and ask them what their demands are. As long as we are not allowed to hand over our guns, we can agree to anything."
After finishing speaking, Company Commander Zhi took out a piece of paper and handed it to his platoon leader: "Forget it, you can go there in person later and give this to them. They won't make things difficult for you."
"Why don't you go yourself?"
"I'm a company commander, how can I take action personally as soon as we get here? You go and talk first. If we can't reach an agreement, it's better to have a buffer. Do you understand?"
"Since we have to talk anyway, why did you run away just now?"
"If we don't run away, the one we're talking to is the battalion commander. How can we have anything to do with him?"
"High, really high, so that we can sell our love to the Eighth Route Army. Brother Feng Shui, you are really unqualified to not be the battalion commander."
"You damn genius, I've given you my amulet. Go quickly. You don't need me to teach you how to speak? Don't let me down."
The platoon leader in his hand happily went to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army battlefield.
Another platoon leader under his command hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We will be like a duck to water if we follow our eldest brother."
"Learn more. The Imperial Army is in decline now. The bigger the official position, the greater the possibility of being liquidated by the Eighth Route Army in the future. Do you understand?"
The platoon leader asked with a shy face: "Brother, tell me brothers, how do you know that the Imperial Army is going downhill?"
Captain Zhi smiled proudly: "Hey, how many years have you been with me?"
Platoon leader Zhi pinched his fingers and calculated: "It must be twelve years old, right?"
"In the past few years, you have followed me and served in the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, the garrison, and as a handyman for the Central Army. You have participated in the Great War in the Central Plains, fought guerrillas, and nested among bandits. Haven't you noticed that every time? Isn’t this how the team always goes before they lose? First they are short of people, then they are short of money, and finally they run away. Look, this little devil’s life is probably like a rabbit’s tail, and it won’t last long.”
"The so-called prophet of ducks with water warm in the Spring River is the eldest brother who has the foresight." Platoon leader Zhi seemed to be a bit literate and spoke well.
Captain Zhi looked to the south: "After so many years of life and death, you guys should learn more. Our brothers, number 20 or 30, have changed countless iron pieces on their hats since the war in the Central Plains. How many brothers have died? If they had been left in other companies, maybe even one out of ten would have been dead."
"Then, are the Japanese in the military camp really gone?"
"The person who cooks for the Japanese in the military camp is a fellow countryman of mine. When he came to town yesterday afternoon to collect oil, I knew they were leaving!"
"Then tell me, from now on, should we have two buttons on our hats, or should we wear a blue sky and a white sun?"
"Hey, you are still a bit immature, you careless one. Don't you know how to put buttons on the inside of a hat and keep the sky clear outside?"
To be able to speak so righteously about betraying a few people in the face of war, this man is indeed considered a leader among veterans.
The platoon leader loves his soldiers as much as his sons.
Every time a new soldier is recruited, the company commander never hesitates to greet others.
Only the fake platoon leader knows that as long as he is not the company commander's old brother, he will be destined to be cannon fodder at critical moments!
