Chapter 497: Cowardice
After that incident, Zhou Zuopeng came under Zhang Haipeng and was promoted to battalion commander.
He has always regarded Zhang Haipeng as a benefactor, so he did not leave when Zhang Haipeng took refuge with the Japanese.
Now to be the enemy of an anti-Japanese team with strong combat effectiveness, Zhou Zuopeng is extremely reluctant in his heart.
He hoped to see someone resist Japan, and even more hoped that the Japanese would get out of China one day earlier.
But now he has to fight with an anti-Japanese team, Zhou Zuopeng always holds his breath in his heart, but Liu Lang doesn't open his eyes, and he comes up again and again, Zhou Zuopeng naturally won't give him a good look.
After Lin Guozhong sent the four commanders of the 18th Division away, he pulled Zhou Zuopeng's sleeve and pulled him aside, and said in a low voice:
"Lao Zhou, the matter has come to this point, you and I can't change it! I admit that if this team resists Japan, it will definitely be able to create a lot of trouble for the little devils.
But so what? Can these four or five thousand people drive the devils out of China? Now the Japanese army in the northeast is close to 200,000, even if they are all the equipment of the Central Army, in front of the Japanese, they are just mayflies shaking trees and mantis arms blocking cars!
Jinling is not anti-Japanese, no matter how much these peasant armed forces toss, it will be in vain! Do I need to tell you this? ”
"But ......" Zhou Zuopeng was still a little unwilling, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Lin Guozhong.
"The battle has already begun, if the commander on the opposite side is smart enough, he should retreat immediately, as long as they retreat, we will send a favor and let them run.
Now that you and I are serving the jobs of the Japanese, and the commander's military order has been issued, can you and I still be able to defect in battle?
As a Chinese, I also know that the little devil is hateful, and I want to fight, but is it useful? What the hell is this that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry!
The one in Jinling didn't want to resist the Japanese, and Xiao Zhang had already withdrawn his troops into the pass, and the 300,000 Northeast Army had long been dismantled and scattered throughout the Central Plains
You and I only have more than 10,000 people in our hands, what can you do with the Japanese? Besides, if you really want to resist Japan, how many people can follow you? In my opinion, the people of your division can go with you for up to half a regiment!
It's all fucking that people will win the day, but is there still a saying that the will of heaven is hard to disobey! Think about it, we are not at the age when we can do whatever we want with enthusiasm, do you have no family or I don't have a family? ”
Lin Guozhong's words made Zhou Zuopeng speechless, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
Indeed, aside from anything else, their wives and children are now in Chengde, and if something really happens, Zhang Haipeng will not let them go.
At this time, the gunfire in the distance suddenly intensified.
Lin Guozhong sighed softly:
"Let's start, it depends on whether the commander on the other side knows each other......"
At the same time, Liu Cheng, who was halfway up the mountain, also got the news that the enemy had suddenly launched a fierce attack.
He stared at the map in front of him for a long time, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
An hour ago, Liu Chengcheng had already received news from the scouts that the enemy's formation had begun to change from a straight line to a fan-shaped encirclement posture, but he didn't care.
This is the regular offensive formation that the side with the most troops in the battle should take, and then choose one point to attack and the rest of the forces to respond.
Once Liu Cheng made the deployment of joint resistance, the opponent's attack point would immediately change, and the point with weak defense would be picked to launch another onslaught.
In that case, Liu Cheng's side will be exhausted, and a large number of transferred troops will also suffer a certain degree of casualties in the process of transfer, and after a long time, the position will inevitably fall into the hands of the enemy.
It is true that the independent battalion has arranged three lines of defense in advance, but Liu Cheng must not give up the first line of defense at the beginning of the battle.
In that case, the enemy will shrink the encirclement smaller and smaller until they are trapped halfway up the mountain.
When the time comes, Chifeng's Okamoto brigade will surround them from the north, and they will be able to directly trap them on the mountain, waiting for them to run out of ammunition and food.
Night fell quietly, and the 18th and 39th Divisions at the foot of the mountain began to take turns to eat and rest, but the soldiers of the independent battalion could only hide in the trenches and gnaw a few mouthfuls.
I don't have to think about sleeping, and if I sleep now, it's not easy to wake up again.
Gong Dalong's 11th Regiment was facing Tang Zhenhu's 4th Company, and since more than 90% of the soldiers in the 4th Company were recruits, he was a little panicked in the face of the huge attack of the 11th Regiment.
Many of the soldiers were cowering in the trenches and did not dare to show their heads, but just poked their guns out and fired indiscriminately.
In addition to the sound of gunfire in the trenches, only the roars of the squad leaders remained:
"Aim! What the hell do you aim before you shoot! ”
"Don't shrink your head! Are you the eighth king? Give Lao Tzu the head off him
