"Hahaha, you're laughing me to death. You're really laughing me to death."
"Hahaha, I burst into tears laughing."
…
Wu Ze interrogated Zhong Ze personally. Ding Wei and others did not dare to disturb him and walked out.
Ding Wei and others laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.
"Captain, this Xiao Wu is so awesome. If we can keep him in our 28th regiment, our 28th regiment will definitely be very fast..." Yang Dali said to Ding Wei while holding his stomach that hurt from laughter.
Ding Wei interrupted Yang Dali: "Talents like Xiao Wu can only be placed in strategic positions. Our small temple of the 28th Regiment cannot accommodate them."
"Then we can put him in our division headquarters..." Yang Dali added.
As long as Wu Ze can stay here, there will always be time to help the 28th Regiment.
"The 129th Division can't even be retained. Do you think our 120th Division can be retained?" Ding Wei muttered in his heart, but of course, there was no need to say it out loud.
This Yang Dali is just as rough as Zhang Gangzi. He has never been able to catch up on cultural studies. I told him a lot of things, but I just played the piano to others.
"You stay here, Xiao Wu has needs, and you cooperate as much as possible." Ding Wei said to Yang Dali, "I have to report it quickly."
Zhong Ze's contact person caught him, opened his mouth, and was leaking information.
Zhong Ze also gave in and was revealing the information.
This needs to be reported immediately.
"Yes." Yang Dali responded, and Ding Wei ran away. Yang Dali looked at Wu Ze who was asking about Zhong Ze's room, still sighing in his heart. Such an awesome person, alas, I can’t keep him.
Eighteenth Army Headquarters
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, please take a look. This is the non-combat attrition situation this month." The Chief of General Staff took a report and handed it to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief.
The deputy commander took a look at the report and immediately frowned: "Is there such a reduction in personnel?"
According to the report, the number of non-combat casualties was almost 4,000.
Reduce the number of troops in a brigade!
"There is no way. The enemy and traitors have imposed a too strict blockade on us, and supplies cannot come in." The chief of general staff looked serious. "Those of our soldiers who are in poor health cannot have enough to eat, and their bodies will become even weaker. Once they get sick, they will There are no medicines, there are wounded with infected wounds, etc., we can only watch them lose their combat effectiveness. This is not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is that we are almost running out of salt.”
Food is an indispensable part for people.
If you don't eat enough, your body will become weak.
Without food, there is no way to sustain life.
Salt is also an indispensable material.
Even if a person eats every day, problems may arise if the body does not consume enough salt.
If there is no salt to eat, people will lose energy. If the problem becomes serious, people will not be able to stand up, let alone holding a gun.
It is precisely because salt is so important that the Japanese and traitors also store it as a strategic material and strictly control it, making it very difficult to capture it on the battlefield.
"How much salt has been seized by the 386th Brigade? Have you compiled statistics?" the deputy commander asked.
Although the 385th Brigade has not yet exhausted all the oil and water in Heyuan County, it is basically close.
"Not much." said the chief of general staff. "Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade reported to me the data on the captured salt. It was divided equally among the various units. It can only last for a week at most. After all, our teams are too large."
"It seems that it is even more urgent to break the Japanese blockade." The deputy commander looked solemn.
The Eighth Route Army has a huge number of teams, and various disadvantages come with it.
Food, clothing, supplies, medicines, etc.
However, the Japs strictly enforced a blockade and there was no need to send troops to encircle and suppress them. The Eighth Route Army teams were also struggling on the verge of self-destruction.
"Yes, we should break the Japanese blockade as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this continues, our non-combat attrition figures next month may be even more terrifying." The chief of general staff also looked serious, "But the problem is, our preparations It’s not finished yet, and now is not the time to launch a large-scale attack.”
Without waiting for preparations to be completed, he rashly launches a large-scale attack. If things go wrong, not only will he not be able to break the Japanese blockade, but his own supplies will be exhausted, making the situation even worse.
The deputy commander said no more and looked at the map.
Large-scale raids cannot be carried out in advance. The situation of the troops is getting worse and worse. As the deputy commander-in-chief, he must find a way.
It can't be big, at least it has to be... The deputy commander is looking at the situation of the blockade and considering whether to start from the weak point.
Let’s see if we can open a channel from a weak point and then transport in materials donated by Chinese people.
Yes, after the victory of Wangershan was reported, the Chinese people responded strongly and were already donating supplies to the 18th Army.
But the Japanese blockade is very strict and supplies cannot come in, so we have to find a way.
"Report, the 120th Division has submitted top secret information." At this time, an intelligence officer hurried over with the information.
The chief of general staff took the intelligence and sent the intelligence officer away.
After opening the intelligence, the Chief of General Staff's serious brow relaxed: "Lao Peng, what a good news."
"What good news?" The deputy commander's eyes moved from the map to the intelligence in the hands of the chief of general staff.
"Take a look." The chief of general staff handed the top-secret information to the deputy commander. The latter took it and looked at it: Transfer Station No. 23!
Wu Ze pried open Zhong Ze's mouth and got Zhong Ze's appointment letter.
This Zhong Ze actually served as a logistics officer at Transfer Station No. 23.
Transfer Station No. 23, this is an important material transfer station for the Fourth Brigade.
If Wu Ze can successfully sneak in, the transfer station No. 23 will be closer to the airport, and he will have a chance to obtain important information from the airport.
If the Japanese planes can be packed up in advance, and a path can be opened from the weak areas of the blockade, the number of casualties in the team will be reduced a lot.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, it is not easy to sneak into the transfer station No. 23. The 28th Regiment spent a lot of effort to successfully infiltrate a comrade. Moreover, this comrade is still on the edge and has no chance to contact No. 23. The core of the transfer station." The Chief of General Staff said, "And Wu Ze has successfully lurked in. Once he has the opportunity to get important information from the airport, for us behind..."
Before the Chief of General Staff finished speaking, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief interrupted: "You should go to the 28th Regiment yourself right away."
This matter is too important. The 18th Army is in urgent need of various strategic supplies.
There is an urgent need to open a passage to get in. The Japanese plane is a powerful threat.
If we don't kill them, even if the blockade is broken and supplies are transported on the road, they will be bombed indiscriminately by planes.
The deputy commander-in-chief wants the chief of general staff to go over and check the situation in person.
"Okay, I'll go now." The chief of general staff nodded and left immediately.
"If everything goes well and the Japanese airport is captured in advance, which point on the blockade should I choose so that the cost can be minimized..." the deputy commander muttered to himself, looking at the map again.
It is difficult to capture the Japanese airport, but there is still hope.
The deputy commander-in-chief let Wu Ze, a strategic talent go, with the intention of being reluctant to let the child catch the wolf.
The blockade laid out by the Japanese was very strict. The blockhouses were equipped with steel mesh trenches, occupying various favorable terrains. Together with the permanent firepower point fortifications, the blockade was as complete as a copper wall and an iron wall.
If you want to open the passage without bloodshed and sacrifice, don't even think about it.
This is war. How can war be without bloodshed and sacrifice?
As the commander of the 18th Group Army, the deputy commander-in-chief cannot avoid bloodshed and sacrifice, but he must do his best to minimize casualties.
