Every army had belligerent officers, and the Jin Sui army was no exception.

Seeing that there were more and more Eighth Route Army gathered outside the village, there were already sporadic firefights, and a regiment commander was anxious and shouted dissatisfied.

"Shizuo, the stronghold of Pingshan Village is in the bag of our division, what does the Eighth Route Army mean by killing it now, snatching food from our mouth? If they are allowed to take down the stronghold of Pingshan Village from under our noses, will our division still have face! ”

"I suggest that someone be sent to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army immediately and let them evacuate Pingshan Village."

"You give me an hour, and then order the mountain artillery battalion to provide me with artillery support, and I promise to take the stronghold within an hour and kill the Japanese puppet army inside."

The other regiment commander didn't see it that way, and immediately retorted: "Commander Wang, you are confused!" ”

"Wouldn't it be good for someone to help us take Pingshan Village?"

"In any case, more than 600 puppet troops have been stationed in Pingshan Village, and they rely on strong fortifications to defend to the death, if we go to attack and do not kill or injure a main battalion, we will definitely not be able to take it."

"Now that the Eighth Route Army is helping us to fight the draw, the brothers don't have to die, such a good thing, why don't we agree."

"Anyway, Datong will be ours sooner or later, and the brothers will die a few less, I think it's a good thing."

The chief of staff of the division obviously agreed with this point of view: "Division, I also agree to let the Eighth Route Army go to Pingshan Village. ”

"It's a good thing for us to kill two birds with one stone!"

"How do you kill two birds with one stone?" The division commander finally spoke, staring at his partner and asking.

The chief of staff thought for a moment and analyzed: "The first benefit is that Commander Huang has just said that the Eighth Route Army will help us fight Pingshan Village, and the division will have one less battalion of brothers killed or wounded. ”

"The second benefit is that the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman!"

"The fortifications of the stronghold in Pingshan Village are very strong, the Eighth Route Army is poorly equipped, and there is a lack of siege artillery, and if you want to kill the Japanese puppet army inside, you must pay more than us."

"Our purpose is to take over Datong from them, not to take Datong from the devils."

"What you really have to face is the Eighth Route Army, not the devil."

"If they suffer heavy casualties in the battle to attack the stronghold of Pingshan Village, and we enter Datong again, expel them by force, and take over Datong, they will definitely be timid before fighting, and then our matter of taking over Datong will become smoother."

"So I think if the Eighth Route Army wants to attack the stronghold of Pingshan Village, let them fight, let's go to the side to watch the show, and be fishermen."

After saying this, most of the officers in the division showed expressions of approval.

Commander Wang still wanted to struggle a little more, and led his troops to take down Pingshan Village, but he was isolated and could only compromise.

The division commander finally made a decision: "Just do what the chief of staff says, and we will be fishermen without moving." ”

"But the guards should be sent more and report to us at any time on the situation there."

"Don't rest tonight, accompany me here to watch the play, and by the way, see the real combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army."

"Everyone knows that most of Shanxi is now occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and if our Jin Sui Army wants to restore its strength, we must regain control of these places."

"The Eighth Route Army will definitely not give up, so sooner or later a conflict will break out between us and the Eighth Route Army."

"It's definitely good for us to take this opportunity to get to know them better."

"The master is wise!" More than a dozen subordinates replied in unison.

After a few minutes, the gunfire on the battlefield began to become denser.

More than a dozen officers at the rank of lieutenant colonel and above in the forward positions poked their heads out of the trenches at the same time and looked at the battlefield with binoculars.

At this time, their expressions became complicated again, as they had just been.

Someone sneered, waiting to see the joke about the thwart attack of the Eighth Route Army.

Some people looked serious and were worried that the Eighth Route Army would lose its troops because of the lack of siege artillery.

Although we belong to different units, we have a common name: the Chinese army.

In the next offensive, if the Eighth Route Army suffered one more casualty, the anti-Japanese strength of the Chinese army would be weakened......

Of course, the proportion of officers in this part was very small, and they were not very well received by the division commanders.

"Boom, boom......" A sudden explosion startled everyone.

The explosion was so loud that even though it was nearly a kilometer away from the battlefield, it still shook everyone's ears.

Inside the Japanese puppet army stronghold, a fireball rose from the ground, and the flying firelight instantly illuminated the surroundings, and then I saw a puff of black smoke rising from the middle of the fireball......

"Master's seat...... The explosion just now seems to be a heavy artillery ......" The commander of the mountain artillery battalion was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't speak.

"Are you sure it's heavy artillery? Not a thunderbolt?" The division commander stared at the mountain artillery battalion commander and asked rhetorically.

It is no secret that the Eighth Route Army is equipped with a large number of flying thunder artillery, not only the Japanese army knows about it, but also the Jin Sui Army as a friendly army.

There were even units that copied this easy-to-learn gun when there was a shortage of artillery.

Although the Flying Thunder Cannon has a large number of flaws, there is one advantage that cannot be denied: that is, it is lethal!

The sound of explosions, lethality, is not inferior to large-caliber artillery.

As a result, many times when the Eighth Route Army used flying thunder cannons, the opponent thought that it was under heavy artillery attack.

It is precisely for these reasons that the division commander asked this question.

The commander of the mountain artillery battalion replied very affirmatively: "It's heavy artillery, not flying thunder artillery......

"I went to the heavy artillery regiment and saw the power of the heavy artillery after it was fired, and it was exactly the same as what we saw just now."

"Not only can I be sure that it was a heavy artillery shell that exploded just now, but I can also be sure that the caliber of this shell is 120 millimeters."

The commander's face sank instantly.

Just now, he was still mocking the Eighth Route Army for not having siege artillery, and he would definitely lose troops in the next attack.

Now the strength of the Eighth Route Army has slapped itself hard.

They not only had siege artillery, but also heavy artillery that they did not have.

"Boom ......"

In the blink of an eye, the second round of explosions also sounded, and the sound was more violent than just now.

Four fireballs rose from the base at the same time, billowing black smoke into the sky, which looked particularly scary.

"The Eighth Route Army attacking the stronghold is equipped with at least four heavy artillery, and one heavy artillery battalion of our army is only equipped with four heavy artillery, which is too scary." The mountain artillery battalion commander's eyes widened, and his speech was even more stuttering than before.

The division commander's face became more and more heavy.

At this moment, a trace of doubt and bad premonition suddenly popped up in my mind.

The Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army were negotiating on the ownership of Datong, and they must have known the determination of the Jin Sui Army to occupy Datong, so it was a matter of time before they withdrew from Datong.

In this case, there is no need to attack the stronghold heavily defended by the Japanese puppet army before leaving.

This kind of battle has large casualties and small gains, and the Eighth Route Army has a weak foundation, so it can definitely be avoided under normal circumstances.

And now it is fighting, and heavy artillery is used, there must be some ulterior conspiracy in this.
