Chapter 543: Zhou Zuopeng's Plan

And the war is about to start, he can't let those soldiers go to war hungry, right?

Two battalions have already been sent to the perimeter to guard the perimeter, who would have thought that this would still be discovered by the other side in their location?

But in this situation, it is useless to say anything.

Shells fell into the camp one after another, and the only thing Chen Mingyu could do was to immediately order the transfer.

I was going to retreat some distance and withdraw out of the range of the opponent's artillery fire, but before the team could move, the order came from the deer and the tiger.

Chen Mingyu wanted to cry, but he didn't have the courage to disobey Lu Mao Huxiong's order.

In desperation, Chen Mingyu could only order the troops to move forward quickly immediately, and then regroup and launch an attack after entering the minimum range of artillery fire.

But the shells seemed to have eyes, and as they moved forward, the shells shortened the distance, and almost none of the shells missed.

Lu Mao Huxiong gave Chen Mingyu six 75-mm mountain guns and 24 mortars; Chen Mingyu simply left the artillery in place to return fire, while he quickly advanced with the infantry.

The distance of three kilometers takes less than fifteen minutes.

However, in the course of fifteen minutes, seventy or eighty shells fell into the ranks of the rapid march, causing casualties to at least one battalion.

And when the new 18th Division finally entered a safe distance and was about to take a breath, the roar of tanks was heard in the distance.

Just when Chen Mingyu realized that something was wrong, a puppet soldier suddenly ran back from the front and reported to him out of breath:

"Divisional commander! No, it's not good! Front...... Seven tanks, as well as cavalry and infantry, all ...... All of them are human! ”

Chen Mingyu was suddenly shocked, and shouted angrily:

"Quick! Order the mortars to carry out the interception strike, and the rest of the men build bunkers, fortifications, set up heavy machine guns, and prepare for battle! Fast! ”

Chen Mingyu never thought that he would be a division commander to the point of appearing at the front line.

But in this situation, even if he wanted to, he had nowhere to hide.

After the new 18th Division advanced, Lu Mao Huxiong ordered the remaining 10 75-mm mountain guns to be pushed to a position about five kilometers away from the position of the independent battalion, and together with the six mountain guns left by Chen Mingyu, they launched artillery fire on the position of the independent battalion.

Although there were not many casualties due to the lack of precise coordinates, it also doubled the pressure on the independent battalion.

The independent battalion has already started fighting, but Zhou Zuopeng's side has not been attacked in any way.

Jiang Yisheng quietly leaned over to Zhou Zuopeng and whispered:

"Division commander, we should move to the left front now, and when the fight over there is almost over, let's rush over and encircle again, which can not only minimize our casualties, but also help the surnamed Liu,"

Zhou Zuopeng's eyes widened after hearing this, and his tone was full of anger:

"What the fuck do you think Lao Tzu is? Is that what people do? At the beginning, Lao Tzu took the initiative to cooperate, but now that the fight is really up, it just makes the family stand on the front, let's wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman? ! ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Jiang Yisheng's face:

"Commander, I didn't mean that, but didn't you notice that the person surnamed Liu filled up the team in a few days after we finished fighting? Now they are much better than us in terms of troops and weapons, and I am worried about ......."

"Worry about the fart!" Zhou Zuopeng interrupted him and ordered in a deep voice: "Gather the team immediately and prepare to attack from the flank!" Even if I don't even have a gun, my heart is red and my bones are fucking hard! I'd rather die than retreat! I'd rather die! ”

Jiang Yisheng saw that he couldn't convince Zhou Zuopeng, so he could only follow Zhou Zuopeng's intention and turn around to assemble the team.

After Jiang Yisheng left, Fang Qi, who had not spoken just now, walked up to him and said in a deep voice:

"Commander, do you think we can go around to the back? These people who are rushing up now must be Chen Mingyu's division, maybe there are people from our 39th division, we can't fight directly, right?

And the positions on the side of the independent battalion are constantly being attacked in the back, and the effect of our artillery is much greater than that of the flank assist! ”

Zhou Zuopeng heard a wry smile on his face, and his tone was full of helplessness:

"Do you think I can't think of that? But have you ever thought that if you push Chen Mingyu in the front, it will definitely be the independent mixed brigade of the Lumao Huxiong in the back, with our current equipment, have you ever fought? ”

Fang Qi smiled and shook his head:

"That definitely can't be beaten, but I don't want to fight the deer and tiger at all! With the character of the deer and the tiger, it will definitely not enter the range of artillery fire, which means that there will be some distance between the artillery behind and the independent mixed brigade.

We can send a battalion back to fake surrender, create chaos, delay time, and use a regiment to sneak attack the opponent's artillery, if it goes well, those mountain artillery will be ours......"

Fang Qi's words made Zhou Zuopeng's heart move and fall into deep thought.

Indeed, he and Liu Cheng are now in a cooperative relationship.

But what about later?

The independent battalion is getting stronger and stronger before his eyes, and now it has five more tanks, and after this battle, at least in terms of weapons and equipment will be further improved.

And what about his thirty-ninth division?

The devil's two special bombs caused him to lose hundreds of people for no reason, and if he wanted to replenish the troops, he first needed a lot of money.

And Zhou Zuopeng can't even take out a hundred oceans in his hand now, if he hadn't given the Okamoto Brigade to Lianwo before, I'm afraid that the 39th Division will run out of food now.

After thinking about it, he still decided to take Fang Qi's suggestion.

However, Zhou Zuopeng doesn't like to sneak around the scenes, he wants to make his plan of action clear to Liu Cheng first.

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Zuopeng appeared in the position of the independent battalion and told Liu Cheng his plan as it was.

To Zhou Zuopeng's surprise, Liu Cheng was not only not the slightest dissatisfied; On the contrary, he was very happy.

This is not pretending, but Liu Cheng himself planned to let Zhou Zuopeng take the 39th Division to sneak attack the artillery that Chen Mingyu put behind.

It may seem like a bargain, but how can it be that simple?

If he wasn't an idiot, he wouldn't have taken any precautions.

On the current battlefield, artillery over 100 mm is very rare, and this 75 mm mountain gun completely serves as the main battle heavy firepower.

Three of the eight tanks were destroyed, and five changed hands and became Liu Cheng's; Although he still has sixty-four mortars and more than a hundred heavy machine guns, in front of the tanks, these are scum.

Could the tanks still be at a suitable distance and wait for mortars and heavy machine guns to hit? When someone hits a shell, a heavy machine gun fire point is gone!
