"Commander Lu, in your opinion, how should we fight this battle?" Luo Shi'an also knew that within the First Guard Regiment, the status of the First Battalion has always been higher than that of the other main battalions, so He must respect the opinion of the first battalion commander.
"In this battle today, we have lost nearly half of our number, which means there are still more than 300 people left. So how is the situation in your camp?" Lu Shaojie looked at Luo Shi'an and asked.
I saw Lu Shaojie shook his head and said: "Stop talking, the situation in our battalion is similar. We had a huge advantage at the beginning, but judging from the subsequent street fighting, the effect was not ideal. If we still have it tomorrow I’m afraid it won’t work this way.”
"Then tell me your opinion first! I want to see how you want to fight tomorrow." Lu Shaojie looked at Luo Shi'an and said.
"Tomorrow's battle is going to be fought, but I'm afraid we can no longer have the final say. You and I have already lost more than half of our troops. According to the character of the regiment, I'm afraid we won't be allowed to go first." Luo Shi'an looked melancholy. The ground shook his head.
"If it doesn't work, I'll talk to the group again! After all, in today's battle, you can tell from the gunshots in the village that there are definitely a lot of Japanese inside." Lu Shaojie said seriously.
In fact, what Lu Shaojie said was the truth. They did encounter difficulties today. Sometimes it doesn't mean that if they want things to go smoothly, they will definitely succeed.
"I don't know if the reinforcements from the Japs will arrive early tomorrow morning. If the reinforcements from the Japs arrive, we will face a very difficult problem. It will definitely not be solved by our two battalions by then, at least with the only remaining troops we have now. Analyzing the strength, it is absolutely impossible to solve it." Luo Shi'an frowned.
"If that doesn't work, let's go find the group leader to discuss it!" Lu Shaojie sighed. After all, he didn't want this to happen.
"That's all we can do." Luo Shi'an nodded.
After saying that, the two of them walked to the temporary headquarters of regiment leader Zhang Tianhai.
"Reporting to the regiment, Lu Shaojie, the humble commander of the 1st Battalion (Luo Shi'an, Commander of the 5th Battalion) reports to you!" After entering the door, the two of them stood at attention and saluted at the same time.
"Tell me! Why are you here so late?" Zhang Tianhai went straight to the topic, and then sat down on the chair.
After the two of them looked at each other, it was Lu Shaojie who spoke first: "Reporting to the group, we have made a deep reflection in private on the failure of today's battle, and now we want to come to you to ask for a fight. "
After hearing this reason, Zhang Tianhai became more interested. He asked, "Tell me, what review have you done? What summary have you made?"
This time it was Luo Shi'an who spoke: "Reporting to the regiment, the ranks have been analyzed. Objectively, the enemy's failure in today's battle was because the enemy's firepower was too strong. Subjectively, our army also had insufficient training, which led to the enemy's defeat. His arrogance is getting more and more arrogant."
"Yes, Commander Luo is right. This has a lot to do with the lack of training of our troops." Lu Shaojie took the initiative to take responsibility.
Seeing these two idiots scrambling for the first place, Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Look at the two of you, do you still look like commanders? I tell you that there are winners and losers on the battlefield. This is a normal thing, especially since you are on a difficult task and it is a street fight. It is normal that you cannot win on the first day. If it is really that easy to win, like Hengyang Bao..."
Zhang Tianhai originally wanted to talk about the defense of Hengyang, but when he thought about it, it seemed that he had gone too far. The battle of Changsha had not even started yet, let alone the defense of Hengyang.
Precisely because he felt that he had made a mistake, Zhang Tianhai immediately applied the emergency brake: "Anyway... this tough battle is not easy to win."
"Then I have to ask the regiment leader for advice. How should we fight tomorrow's critical battle?" Lu Shaojie really wanted to know how to win this battle. After all, his first battalion ranked first among the first guard regiment. troops, today's battle is like this, doesn't his own face hurt?
"First of all, we must take advantage of our artillery and bomb the villages indiscriminately again. It's just a pity that our troops are poor. Otherwise, with a few more 105 heavy artillery, I can lay down this Nantian pavilion. Flattened..." Zhang Tianhai said melancholy. Not to mention, he really wanted to do this, but only if he had enough artillery shells for bombardment.
This is how helpless the army is.
At this moment, Zhang Tianhai actually missed the days of later generations - if the troops at that time were fighting, how could they worry about the lack of artillery shells? After all, there was a famous saying in that era that "Caliber is justice, cannon is truth."
At this moment, Zhang Tianhai finally understood deeply why the rabbits of later generations would carry forward the artillery doctrine of the former Soviet Union - it was so damn cool to blast people with cannons...
As he talked, Zhang Tianhai felt very faint. However, the two people in front of him looked at each other: What's going on, Tuanzuo? Are you distracted at this important moment? This is a rare thing...
The group leader was distracted, but the two people in front of him didn't dare to wake him up for fear of interrupting the group leader's train of thought.
After thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai remembered that there seemed to be a kind of homemade artillery in history - and this kind of artillery was not only convenient and fast, but also did not have any particularly high requirements. Of course, it did not require any accuracy.
Yes, Zhang Tianhai was thinking of the flying thunder cannon in history.
Yes, this flying thunder cannon is a home-made artillery known as the "heartless cannon" during the Liberation War. It is famous for its low cost, convenience, and great power. Its shortcoming is that it lacks accuracy.
Thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai said to Xu Xun beside him: "Xiao Xu, go and ask the Military Supplies Department and Director Zhu, do we have any gasoline barrels?"
"Yes! Group seat!" Xu Xun stood at attention and saluted, then trotted out.
At this time, Zhang Tianhai finally remembered that it turned out that Lu Shaojie and Luo Shi'an were still waiting for his answer, and he was distracted.
"Well, I was just thinking about how we should fight tomorrow's battle." Zhang Tianhai casually found a reason to explain it, and then turned to the topic: "Tomorrow, you two battalions will not participate in the battle. , let’s throw it to other troops first. I have a hunch that Nantianpu is a tough nut to crack. It won’t be that easy for us to bite them off. There aren’t many veterans left in your two battalions now. After today’s battle, It’s even more debilitating, I have to leave some seeds, otherwise how can I achieve sustainable development?”
Upon hearing this answer, Lu Shaojie became anxious: "But the regiment...our battalion has always been the number one troop in the entire regiment. We..."
But before Lu Shaojie could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Tianhai: "This matter cannot be rushed. There are nearly ten thousand Japanese troops waiting there in Wanjialing. Are you afraid that there will be no battle? I tell you that there is still a tough battle ahead. Well, now I just need to take down Nantianpu first! Otherwise, Commander Xue will want my head!"
