Chapter 364: Sincere Cooperation (Part II)
Before the arrival of Zhuang Quan and Sheng Jiu, there were also differences of opinion within the Eighth Route Army, and many cadres advocated retreat, because the balance of forces between the enemy and us was too great, and the Eighth Route Army was originally good at fighting guerrilla warfare, so a considerable number of people advocated a temporary retreat and did not confront the enemy head-on.

But the two commanders of the 1st and 2nd Independent Regiments were resolute pro-battle factions. Xiao Zhenbei even slapped the table in the command headquarters: "Retreat? The base area that Lao Tzu has just established is just handed over to others? What is the purpose of the common people sending their children to me to serve as soldiers? They don't want to defend their families and the country? Now they can't even do the most basic thing to protect their families, so what is there to talk about defending the country? I don't need to ask my superiors for instructions! I just have an attitude, and I will fight hard!"
"I also agree with Regiment Leader Xiao's opinion! Even those mountain kings in Qingfeng Ridge dare to fight with devils! Are we not as good as these people in the rivers and lakes?" Fang Desheng, the second head of the regiment, also resolutely stood on Xiao Zhenbei's side.
However, the two regiment commanders also have a very clear understanding that the weapons and equipment of their troops are not good, and the most annoying thing is the lack of bullets, with an average of less than 20 rounds per soldier. To be honest, the two independent regiments were able to develop into their current scale because of their own hard work, and they did not receive much support from their superiors. It can be said that it is completely dependent on the support and help of the surrounding people, as well as the secret support of those patriotic businessmen and wealthy households.
Although on the surface this time the devils mainly want to eliminate Qingfengling, the ultimate goal is to eliminate the Eighth Route Army, and what scale can a cottage develop? What worries the devils the most is the Eighth Route Army, the development speed of this unit is really too fast, and it has more than doubled in strength compared to the beginning, especially the independent regiment, which is not in the establishment, is everywhere, and there is no way to count it at all, and there are also those guerrillas who have become the Eighth Route Army after changing their hats! It is much more difficult than those national armies!
So at this time, the arrival of Zhuang Quan and Sheng Jiu lifted the spirits of the two regiment leaders, Xiao Zhenbei knew that this Zhuang Quan always had some unexpected means, and the most important thing was that they had some inventory in their hands.
"Hahahaha!How about it? It's the first time to participate in such a big battle, right?" Xiao Zhenbei and Zhuang Quan were not polite at all, and they would reveal the truth when they came up!
"Huh! Hitting a hundred devils is a beating, beating a thousand devils is still beating!" Zhuang Quan said disdainfully.
"Hehe, tell you, the information I got this time, there are 6,000 people in the devil and the puppet army combined!" Xiao Zhenbei said in a low voice.
"Blow! You blow again! The surname Xiao, you don't know it? There are more than 4,000 people in the full fight, and half of them are puppet soldiers!" Zhuang Quan knows Xiao Zhenbei's stinky problems and likes to exaggerate in front of Zhuang Quan!
"Hehe! Okay, even if it's 4,000 people, it's enough for you to drink a pot, right? I understand clearly, this time the devils are specifically coming for you Qingfeng Ridge! Tsk, I really admire you, 400 people dare to argue with 4,000 devils!" Xiao Zhenbei exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"Okay, okay! Old Xiao, didn't the two of us know each other on the first day? You are the same virtue every time you knock on the bamboo! Say, what do you like on my mountain again this time? guns, bullets, food, mortars?" Zhuang Quan sat down with a big grin and asked.
"Hehe, hey, or how could I fall in love with you so much! I don't have all the things you said!" Xiao Zhenbei said with some embarrassment.
"Poof, surnamed Xiao, you can really say it! Which of us is the one who occupies the mountain?" Zhuang Quan just drank a mouthful of water and squirted out.
"I'm telling the truth! I'm missing these things!" Xiao Zhenbei said pretending to be innocent. Fang Desheng couldn't help admiring Xiao Zhenbei's cheek in the back, and he didn't mean to be red at all!
"50,000 rounds of ammunition, 400 rounds of shells, delivered in the middle of the night in the second half of today. I still have 20 mortars on the mountain, and I'll send them to you later! Plus four pigs and 500 catties of grain! Let the soldiers eat to their heart's content!" Zhuang Quan was also very generous this time, he knew that the food of the Eighth Route Army was very stingy, and he rarely could open up to eat, so he finally gave another advice.
"Hehe! How else can we say that we are together! Hey, little boss, why don't I give you 400 military hats too? From now on, we will be comrades in the trench!" Xiao Zhenbei suddenly said with great joy, this time, each soldier can have fifty bullets, which is rare in previous battles, and it is extravagant enough! Even Fang Desheng next to him was also overjoyed.
"Pull it down! If I take your hats, how can I rob them, I'm afraid you'll have to cry and shout to get those hats back!" Zhuang Quan also said with a smile.
"Come, let's talk about it, what are the plans for this battle? Let's see what advantages we have!" Xiao Zhenbei sat down at this time and began to get into the topic.
"Actually, it's not as serious as you think, if it goes well, maybe it's a quick victory!" Zhuang Quan said amazingly, which surprised all the people present.
"Quick victory, just the guns in your hand?" Xiao Zhenbei asked with some distrust. It's not the first time he's worked with Zhuang Quan, the first few times he basically relied on Zhuang Quan's sniper rifle to achieve unexpected results, but this time the battle is very large-scale, in a sense, the bigger the battle, the smaller the role of these snipers. Therefore, Xiao Zhenbei still thinks that this time the battle is mainly based on the Eighth Route Army.
"Hehe! Heaven must not be revealed! However, this time it needs to be arranged well. You see, this is the peak of the pen, it is so high and steep that it is difficult to climb up, but from this peak you can fully observe the situation on the battlefield. If we had set up an observation post here, we would have taken the initiative!" Zhuang Quan said, pointing to a mountain peak on the map.
"But this mountain peak is too far away from the battlefield, even if you find something, you won't have time to notify it! Even if it's a flag, you can't see it clearly!" Fang Desheng said with some dejection on the side, thinking that Zhuang Quan could have any good ideas!
"Hmm, you mean to use the walkie-talkie last time to control the situation?" Xiao Zhenbei suddenly remembered the walkie-talkie that Zhuang Quan lent them when they were besieged by the enemy last time, that thing was much easier to use than Qiyu, and the distance was also very far.
"Well, I plan to let Ying Bo ambush in advance at Bijian Peak! At that time, the location of the enemy's artillery camp will be clear at a glance!" Zhuang Quan nodded and said, Yingbo is not only proficient in using high-powered telescopes, but also has super eyesight, and it is difficult to climb Bijian Peak, and Yingbo's safety will not be any problem.
"Well, I think it's okay! What else?" Xiao Zhenbei nodded, and then asked.
"I need to concentrate all the mortars here, and then we will all send our best mortars to destroy the enemy's artillery camp in the shortest possible time! It can be seen that Zhuang Quan has already thought about it a long time ago.
"No problem! There are several quite good mortars in my regiment, and there are only two mortars in the second regiment who are very accurate!" Xiao Zhenbei nodded and said.
"There are several of them on our cottage! All of our mortars add up to almost forty, which should be able to defeat the devil's artillery battalion!" Sheng Jiu also said eagerly.
"In that case, the next thing we have to deal with is the enemy who is attacking on the ground. Don't worry at all, I've prepared a big meal for them. Let's go to the position first and take a look!" Zhuang Quan seems to have a strange trick, which makes Xiao Zhenbei and Fang Desheng feel a little dizzy, listening to Zhuang Quan, it seems that this battle is not very difficult, and it seems that the victory is already in hand!
After turning around the positions of the first regiment and the second regiment, and then comparing the distribution map of the plastic bombs buried by themselves, it seems that there is still a little problem, the position of the first regiment is no problem, and it is about 300 to 500 meters away from those plastics/explosives, which should be within the range of remote control, but the position of the second regiment is a little far away, because the position of the second regiment has moved back 200 meters, because the terrain here is just right, there is some slope, and the three trenches in the front and rear are dug to maximize the combat effectiveness. At the same time, it formed an arc with the battle line of the first regiment and Qingfeng Ridge, and it should be said that the layout is still very reasonable. But it was far away from the explosives that Zhuang Quan had arranged, and seemed to be beyond the detonation range of the remote control.
"Commander Xiao, Commander Fang! This position is a little backward, when the time comes, I need someone to rush to this position to detonate the explosives, it seems to be a little difficult!" Zhuang Quan said with some worry.
"What's so difficult about this? Isn't it just a distance of more than 200 meters? I'll just send a demolition team to rush forward!" Fang Desheng asked with some puzzlement.
"Is it easy?" Zhuang Quan still didn't quite understand the combat routines of the Eighth Route Army.
"It's too easy! We have rushed to the enemy's position when we fought in the past! Aren't all those pillboxes and firepower points rushing over like this?" Xiao Zhenbei also said with certainty, in his opinion, this distance is still quite safe.
"Oh, I mean it's better to avoid needless sacrifices!" Zhuang Quan understood a little, fighting in that era was such a hard rush, so Lao Xiao and they all thought it was normal. Zhuang Quan, on the other hand, did not want his mistakes to cause the sacrifice of any of the soldiers.
"What do you mean, what is this distribution map in your hand?" Xiao Zhenbei asked a little anxiously.
"I've planted 200 bombs in these places! If they were to be detonated together, it would be equivalent to 500 shells from heavy artillery. That devil can almost go home!" Zhuang Quan said, pointing to his map, there is no need to hide it at this time. I have to tell the two regiment commanders about my plan, otherwise there will be no chaos when it is detonated?
"Two hundred bombs? haha...... Little boss, are you kidding? When was it buried? Why don't I know? Or is it a bomb the size of a hand/grenade? That's a fart! What what? 500 heavy artillery shells?hahahaha......" Xiao Zhenbei couldn't help laughing.
"It's true! Every bomb is more powerful than a shell from a heavy artillery!" Zhuang Quan said very seriously.
"Little boss, do you know how much a heavy artillery shell weighs? The smaller ones weigh dozens of catties, and the larger ones weigh hundreds of catties, and you say that you buried 200 bombs, so it's not tens of thousands of catties of bombs? Fang Desheng said with a little shake of his head?" These people have really never seen a big scene, and they don't even have the most basic common sense!
"Okay! Since you said that it's okay to rush forward 200 meters, then I won't say more, and let you see the power of my bomb when the time comes!" Zhuang Quan also smiled and said, this thing is really not clear to explain, so let's see when the time comes!!
