The moon didn't come out.
There was little light in the green gauze tent.
Under the starlight, the fuzzy, unshaven and haggard faces of the Rangers could be vaguely seen.
In the early years, the national army suffered repeated defeats when facing the Japanese.
In the past two years, as the person in northern Shaanxi said, we could barely draw a tie with the Japanese.
However, in the past two years, the Eighth Route Army has come out to slap him in the face from time to time.
Win a small victory today and regain a county tomorrow.
Although the Eighth Route Army captured the county seat and could not hold it, these small victories continued to stimulate the nerves of the Rangers.
In North China, the Rangers had no impressive record. Every time they heard about the Eighth Route Army winning a battle, it was more disgusting than eating a fly.
He was obviously a hindrance to the Eighth Route Army who was preparing for an ambush, but why was the little devil who was always good at fighting so unsatisfactory this time?
Seeing the Eighth Route Army in the limelight, the Rangers felt very sad: "Our national army has recovered countless county towns. In the eyes of the Chinese people, it is our duty to recover a county town every once in a while."
"That's right, every time the Eighth Route Army regains a county, it's like they have done something great."
"I just can't stand it. Every time Tubalu wins a small victory, they celebrate for half a month by beating gongs and drums like a hen laying eggs."
"I heard that the superiors have recently recruited many young male and female students to join our Rangers. Why haven't we seen any of them yet?"
"You think it's easy to enter enemy-occupied territory."
There was a brief silence.
They couldn't figure it out. The Eighth Route Army didn't pay or give any benefits, so why were those idiots so willing to be cannon fodder for the Eighth Route Army?
You know, the Rangers once traveled across the ocean to recruit soldiers, but unfortunately they couldn't recruit many people.
We have to resort to various means to catch strong men.
"Then what should we do now?" A man in black couldn't help but ask.
"I think the Eighth Route Army is at least pretty good at fighting Japanese enemies."
"Your remarks are dangerous"
"We can't do anything if we stay here. I think it's better to persuade Shi Jianye to rebel."
"Hey, what's going on with that Hu Liela?"
"Intelligence said that the Eighth Route Army had notified the war zone a few days ago that the Japanese had breached the embankments of the Weihe River in the plains and released Tiger La bacteria on a large scale."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm asking you what Hu Lie La is."
"It's just a kind of bacteria. I heard that it's contagious, and if it comes in contact with that stuff, it can kill the tiger just by having diarrhea."
A member of the Rangers' voice trembled: "Let me tell you, boss, why don't we retreat?"
"No, we can't leave until we figure out the real situation behind the bacteria that the Japanese soldiers released!"
"That's right, we can't leave. There was a severe drought in the plains last year, and millions of people starved to death. The leaders did not get the real situation in advance, and were slapped in the face by an American reporter's field investigation report, which even caused the webmaster to be criticized. "
"It's all those bastards in the First War Zone who deliberately concealed the report."
"Stop talking, leave here first, go to the nearby village to find a liaison officer to inquire about the situation." The leading man tried to remain calm, but he wanted to leave here already.
Several men in black quickly packed up the radio and prepared to run away.
As for them being on the edge of the battlefield, they didn't understand the real situation on the battlefield.
Can you blame them?
In the afternoon, guns were flying wildly, and the Japanese set up security around the perimeter. Who was brave enough to challenge the Japanese?
Now it is the turn of the Eighth Route Army to set up perimeter security. In the past, you could directly inquire as a Ranger.
Now the superiors are gathering troops to attack the Eighth Route Army. The two sides are at war with each other. If they hit the Eighth Route Army's guns, the consequences will be unpredictable.
The Eighth Route Army did not show mercy when attacking the enemy.
I finally waited until dark in fear. The dark lights and the green gauze tent were like a meat grinder battlefield. Even if a few of my own people could infiltrate, they would be blind and unable to see anything.
Who can figure out the situation on the battlefield?
But now, the superiors are preparing to take action against the Eighth Route Army. It is not worthwhile to be buried alive at this time.
The Eighth Route Army is flourishing behind enemy lines, and the Rangers have to find a way.
The main reason was that they were short of men and needed a lot of guns, but they just couldn't gain a foothold behind enemy lines. The leading man in black felt helpless and desolate.
My heart was so heavy that I couldn't breathe evenly.
Several shadowy shadows retreated eastward in the green gauze tent.
Anyway, there are military insiders on both sides of the war, and as long as they report it, they can know the outcome of the battle.
Hu Yi sat in the ditch at the edge of the green gauze tent.
Soldiers holding engineering shovels nearby were digging trenches.
Hu Yi endured the dryness and stinging of his eyes. If lime water hadn't hurt his eyes, he would probably wash them with lime water.
The nasal cavity washed with lime water was very painful and itchy.
After entering the dark night, there is no difference between good and bad vision.
I can't see clearly anyway.
Jiuying almost only got some soup all afternoon.
The Japanese who had begun to gather and prepare to run north to hit the heavy guns of the Ninth Battalion suddenly stopped retreating.
Instead, fortifications were strengthened on the spot.
It was obvious that the Japanese commander was trying to defend his position.
Part of the two circles of circular trenches outside the turret were dug by the Ninth Battalion.
Abandon the perimeter and shrink to the second line of defense. The Japs were making a lot of noise in the dark. They should be continuing their soil work at the second line of trenches.
Strengthen fortifications to prevent night attacks from the Eighth Route Army.
He endured a lot of discomfort and carefully explained the details to his generals.
The enemy's situation was now very clear, and the main force's attack was so fast that the Japanese who used the ninth battalion to hastily establish a position did not have time to add communication trenches between the outer defense line and the second line of defense.
The original second line of defense and the outer line of defense were only connected by a communication trench on the north side, but now they have been blocked by the Japanese.
There was a circle of people lying around Hu Yi.
"After dark, none of the machine guns used by the Japanese came out to shoot, which shows that the Japanese consume a lot of ammunition."
"The Japanese did not send any top soldiers to conduct reconnaissance. Apparently they knew that as long as they dared to leave the trenches of the second line of defense, they would die." Liu Yuanqing participated in the upcoming discussion meeting on the night attack plan as a platoon leader. Eighth Route officers and soldiers were equal and anyone could speak.
"Although a well-trained Japanese gunman is good at shooting, he can't see the target in the dark, so it's useless no matter how accurate his gun is." Li Xiang interjected.
"If we weren't afraid of the Japs' poisonous gas bombs, we would not be short of ammunition now. I would lead the team directly into the Japs group." The deputy commander of the supreme commander left, and the one who spoke was the first battalion commander of the main force group who stayed behind.
Hu Yi shook his head: "I don't think it's appropriate to take the offensive and rush into the Japanese position now. This method of fighting for casualties is inappropriate."
"I can afford to trade one life for another!" The commander of the first battalion was eager to give it a try!
"." The people next to them suddenly fell silent.
The commander of the first battalion was very interested in the novel tactics Hu Yi came up with.
He has actually learned these tactics. He once went to the division to study and listened to the instructor's lecture on the theory of positional warfare.
Unexpectedly, the positional warfare attack that remained in theory would be carried out so soon.
To say I'm not excited would be a lie. This time it's an attack, not a guerrilla!
The 23rd Regiment once participated in the Battle of Guanxingguan, and that time they actually fought against Japanese baggage troops.
The victory made the soldiers happy for almost five years, and they would bring it up every time they held a meeting.
Several battalion commanders and their company commanders had already memorized the details of the battle.
And this time, they were fighting the main force of the Japanese!
Although the scale is much smaller, the tactics are completely different.
Moreover, they command operations completely independently.
In other words, he and Battalion Commander Hu are the highest commanders.
When I think about this, my blood boils all over my body.
Listening to the chatter of ideas from the people around me, I noticed that no one seems to be taking the lead?
I couldn't help but say: "That Battalion Commander Hu, I won't compete with you for command this time, but don't compete with me for leading the assault."
In his opinion, the strength of Battalion Commander Hu's men was actually close to that of a regiment.
But most people were injured by the Japanese gas.
And even though he only has one battalion now.
If he hadn't received the order and hurriedly assembled the team to cross the river, he could have pulled out a group!
As long as you can fight the Japanese, it won't be a big deal even if you lose a few people!
The resources of the Eighth Route Army come from the common people. When they are really in need of men, they can just go to the villages in the base area and give a shout, and the militiamen and integral members can pull out hundreds or even thousands of them in a minute.
If it weren't for the shortage of guns and ammunition, it wouldn't be a problem for all the people to be soldiers.
This is also what scares the Rangers operating in this area the most.
Xiao Hongying, Madman Yang, and Pu Buhuan lay on the edge of the green gauze tent and looked at the searchlight on top of the tower in the distance.
Xiao Hongying, who boasted about Haikou, did not interrupt at the pre-war meeting.
Now that there are "outsiders" here and they are discussing the fight against the Japanese, she believes that the fox can arrange the matter.
Luo Fugui was not interested in the meeting.
