Chapter 496: The Verge
Ten minutes later, eight officers dressed in lieutenant colonel uniforms came to the temporary command post of Lin Guozhong and Zhou Zuopeng.
The eight people are:
Nie Zhenhai, commander of the 7th Regiment of the 18th Division; Gong Dalong, head of the 11th Regiment; Yuan Feng, head of the 24th Regiment; The commander of the 31st Regiment is You Shouxin;
Fang Qi, commander of the 9th Regiment of the 39th Division; Guo Erpeng, head of the 19th Regiment; Shao Jun, commander of the 44th Regiment; Jiang Yisheng, head of the 53rd Regiment.
Lin Guozhong glanced at Zhou Zuopeng, and his eyes swept over the four commanders of the Eighteenth Division in turn:
"Gong Dalong!"
"Yes!" Gong Dalong, the head of the 11th regiment, stood up and agreed.
"Twenty minutes later your eleventh regiment will take the lead in attacking from the right front; Remember to be loud, but not force-on, the goal is to attract enemy fire! ”
"Yes!"
"Yuan Feng!"
"Yes!"
"The 24th Regiment followed, and 20 minutes after the 11th Regiment launched the attack, you and the 11th Regiment were separated by 200 meters.
"Yes!"
"Nie Zhenhai, You Shouxin!"
"Yes! Yes! ”
"An hour later, the 7th Regiment and the 31st Regiment launched an attack from the front at the same time, and at that time, the 11th Regiment and the 24th Regiment turned into reality and launched a fierce attack on the enemy's position with all their might!"
"Yes!"
After Lin Guozhong completed the deployment, he turned his head to look at Zhou Zuopeng and asked:
"Does Master Zhou have a different opinion?"
Zhou Zuopeng shook his head lightly and said:
"Master Lin's deployment is thorough, and Zhou admires it; It's just that, as you mean, this attack is carried out entirely by your eighteenth division? ”
Lin Guozhong nodded:
"Yes, there are less than 5,000 people on the other side, they have mortars, and I have them, and this attack is only to find out the truth and reality, and we will make adjustments according to the situation."
"Adjustments?" Zhou Zuopeng's voice was full of surprise:
"What does Division Commander Lin mean that pressing the strength of a division directly on it may not be able to break the opponent's defensive line?"
"That's nature." A smile appeared on Lin Guozhong's face:
"The commander of this team is clear-headed and well-deployed, and he must have prepared the battle deployment and built fortifications in advance, and a hard charge will only increase unnecessary casualties."
Regarding Lin Guozhong's evaluation, Liu Lang was a little unimpressed.
At first, when he found that the enemy also had heavy firepower, Liu Lang was also startled.
However, he soon discovered that the tactical arrangement of the enemy commander was too rigid, which was not conducive to flexibility and mobility, and although an effective defense was temporarily formed, as long as the two divisions of Lin Guozhong and Zhou Zuopeng attacked, they would soon be able to break through the defensive line.
From the map, the southern slope of Phoenix Mountain is relatively gentle, and the terrain advantage is limited; Moreover, the strength of the frontal defense is only about 2,000 people, which is very different from the strength of Lin and Zhou.
Moreover, the 18th and 39th Divisions were elite troops under Zhang Haipeng, and the soldiers were very combative, and with the assistance of heavy firepower, even if the enemy put all the troops on top, they might not be able to survive the three attacks.
Therefore, he was surprised and surprised after hearing Lin Guozhong's evaluation of the enemy commander.
Liu Lang couldn't help frowning and said:
"Master Lin is inevitably overestimating the other party, right? In my opinion, this is just a manifestation of cowardice, how strong can a team composed of ordinary people be?
Even if some of them came from the regular army, it would be impossible to stop the two divisions of the two, right? ”
Before Lin Guozhong could speak, Zhou Zuopeng glared at him:
"Fat Liu! Be careful what the fuck says! When will it be your turn to question our operational deployment? If you have any opinions, go back and report to the commander, and let the hell out in front of Lao Tzu! ”
Liu Lang was choked by Zhou Zuopeng's words, and closed his mouth stupidly.
However, no matter how Zhou Zuopeng fights in this battle, he will definitely try his best to create some "obstacles" for Zhang Haipeng.
Liu Lang knows very well that all Zhang Haipeng's tolerance for Lin Guozhong and Zhou Zuopeng on weekdays is based on the basis of "squeezing value", as long as Zhou Zuopeng makes a slight mistake in this battle, especially if he has contact with the enemy, Liu Lang has enough reasons to "play on the topic".
At that time, even if Zhou Zuopeng can't be brought down by this, it will inevitably make Zhang Haipeng suspicious of him.
After a long time, the position of the commander of the 39th Division is afraid that it will soon become vacant.
In Liu Lang's view, as long as he can hold this army with strong combat effectiveness in his hands, even if his command ability is lacking, it will be easy to win the battle.
He remembered that these two divisions had not been a day or two for a long time, but Zhang Haipeng had never let go.
For Liu Lang, this is a great opportunity to take the position.
Therefore, he didn't say anything more, but said goodbye to Lin Guozhong and Zhou Zuopeng very politely, and then left the temporary command post.
After Liu Lang left, Lin Guozhong leaned over to Zhou Zuopeng and whispered:
"Lao Zhou, you were too impulsive just now, you also know the background of this fat man Liu, you should save some face for him."
Zhou Zuopeng pursed his lips and said with disdain:
"Give him face? What face do you give him? Damn, this kid is just relying on his sister's fat ......."
Lin Guozhong raised his hand and stabbed Zhou Zuopeng in the waist, holding back the second half of his sentence.
"Be careful!" Lin Guozhong said in a low voice with a calm face.
Zhang Haipeng's little fetish is not a secret, but Liu Lang's sister is Jia Ba's wife after all, even if there is something greasy in it, she must not say it.
Everyone knows that it is not terrible, but once it comes out of someone's mouth, the nature changes.
Anyway, Zhang Haipeng is now a senior official and garrison commander in Rehe, even if Jia Ba doesn't care, Zhang Haipeng's face still has to be taken into account.
Zhou Zuopeng also knew that he had lost his words, snorted coldly, and did not continue.
Lin Guozhong and Zhou Zuopeng have known each other for many years and have a deep friendship, so they naturally know why Zhou Zuopeng is so disgusted with Liu Lang.
Although both of them don't treat Liu Lang very well, they have always been okay on the surface.
But this time, Liu Lang came to spy on the two of them, and Zhou Zuopeng naturally didn't feel happy in his heart.
Part of the reason is that the stronger the independent battalion's performance, the more awkward Zhou Zuopeng feels.
In his heart, he has always hated the Japanese, but because Zhang Haipeng saved his life at the beginning, he couldn't bear to abandon him.
At that time, Zhou Zuopeng had just become a company commander, but he was not under Zhang Haipeng, but under Guo Maochen.
Guo Maochen was defeated and killed, and Zhou Zuopeng and other cadres were also locked up by Lao Zhang's order.
Zhang Haipeng felt that Zhou Zuopeng was a talent at that time, so he saved Zhou Zuopeng through the Feng family.
At that time, Zhou Zuopeng was just a small company commander, and Lao Zhang didn't care at all, and he was happy to send a favor.
