Wollongong regimental headquarters command room.

Ryoma walked in with a casualty report.

After receiving the casualty report, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Although we have won a big victory this time, our soldiers have suffered a lot of casualties!"

Ryoma replied, "Hey! My battalion suffered the most casualties, and you have to give me a battalion of new recruits! ”

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Lao Tzu will definitely replenish your battalions with new soldiers!" Your battalion is absolutely indispensable, and I will be recruiting new recruits in the surrounding villages these days! ”

Ryoma shouted, "Xie Tuanza!"

Liang Shanhao groaned and shouted: "Those who can survive this battle are all veterans!" Including those wounded soldiers, after recuperating from their injuries, they are top veterans! ”

Ryoma shouted, "Danza, it makes sense! Training is not as good as actual combat, a real battle with real swords and guns can make soldiers grow, but we pay the price of blood! ”

Liang Shanhao shouted: "There is no bloodshed in a war, war is a cruel knockout game, and any soldier may fall in the rain of bullets at any time!"

After a pause, Liang Shanhao asked in a deep voice, "Have all the captured Japanese weapons been distributed to the surrounding villages?"

Ryoma replied, "Tuanza, according to your order, I have already established 8 village self-defense forces in the surrounding villages!" The villagers' self-defense forces in one village were 16 Type 38 rifles and a crooked machine gun, but I didn't issue them the Type 92 heavy machine gun! ”

Liang Shanhao asked, "Why don't you send it?"

Ryoma shouted: "The Type 92 heavy machine gun is heavy firepower, and it is difficult to operate, and the villagers need to be trained, so stay in the base warehouse for the time being!"

Liang Shanhao advised: "For villages that need to be strengthened, your battalion commander will personally send someone to guide military training, understand?"

Ryoma replied: "Tuanza! You can rest assured, I will select two veterans of the Self-Defense Forces of each village to carry out training tasks! ”

Liang Shanhao nodded: "The members of the Self-Defense Force with excellent training can be selected to come to our base for intensive training, and then they will be assigned to each infantry battalion!"

Ryoma shouted: "This is a good idea, after layers of screening, it will definitely be able to ensure the combat quality of the troops to the greatest extent."

Liang Shanhao shouted again: "Ryoma! This time, you led a battalion to bravely stop the devils, and your contribution is indispensable, Lao Tzu is ready to promote you to the deputy commander and serve as Lao Tzu's second-in-command, are you willing? ”

Suddenly, Ryoma shouted, "Thank you! But I don't think I'm capable enough, I'm afraid I can't do it! ”

Smiling slightly, Liang Shanhao shouted: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, I said that you can be a little good at Longma!"

Ryoma shouted: "I'm afraid that the second battalion commander and the third battalion commander will have opinions, and it will be difficult to convince the public!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "They dare to disagree? Lao Tzu was the first to refuse! Military orders are like mountains, I think they dare to disobey orders? ”

Ryoma replied, "Okay! There is a sentence about the group seat, this group deputy, I should be decided! ”

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Give you a task, select 108 veterans for me within two days and form a reinforced company!"

Glaring widely, Ryoma shouted: "Tuanza, more than 100 people, this is most of the centaurs in the base?" What are you doing here? ”

Liang Shanhao groaned and shouted: "Lao Tzu wants to build a fist army and take the initiative to attack!"

Ryoma shouted: "Tuanza, 108 veterans have been transferred, and there are basically no combat backbones in the infantry battalions!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "As the saying goes, good steel must be used on the blade, and the veterans can be concentrated to form a joint force!" Recently, Lao Tzu is going to take the reinforcement company out to attack the devils, and your deputy head Long is training recruits at the base! No problem! ”

Ryoma replied: "You can rest assured! I'm going to help train a fighting and screaming force! ”

Liang Shanhao shouted: "In addition to training recruits, you also have to strengthen the defense of the base at the same time!"

Ryoma replied, "Yes!"

……

Zhang Baling Guijun field fortifications.

The fighters of the independent regiment of the 31st Army of the Gui Army are digging fortifications in full swing.

The regiment commander, Wei Shengli, also built machine-gun fortifications shirtless.

Waving a shovel, the commander of the first battalion shouted: "Tuanzuo, do you think the little devil will really pass through Zhang Baling?"

Sweating profusely, Regiment Commander Wei shouted: "The military order personally issued by Commander Liu cannot be wrong!"

The commander of the first battalion shouted: "In case the little devil doesn't pass through Zhang Baling, then aren't we busy in vain?"

Captain Wei shouted and scolded: "Why do you kid talk so much nonsense? This is Shangfeng's order, Commander Liu tells us to do whatever we do! ”

The commander of the first battalion shouted: "Regimental seat! Last time I received an order from the military department, we waited in Spirit Snake Valley for three days and three nights, and we didn't even see a little devil! Can this news be reliable? ”

Head Wei asked in a deep voice, "Let me ask you, what's behind Zhang Baling?"

After thinking about it, the commander of the first battalion shouted: "Mingguang City!"

Head Wei asked again, "What about behind Mingguang City?"

The commander of the first battalion responded: "Huaihe!"

Head Wei asked again, "What about behind the Huai River?"

The commander of the first battalion responded: "Xuzhou! The headquarters of the commander of the fifth theater is stationed! ”

Commander Wei shouted: "We are here on the south bank of the Huai River, and the devils in Pukou want to invade Xuzhou in the north, and our Zhang Baling is a must-pass place!"

The commander of the first battalion shouted: "Listening to such an analysis of the group seat, it seems that the devil will pass through Zhang Baling nine times out of ten!"

Regiment Commander Wei shouted: "This blocking battle will not fail, but will be a tough battle, we must be mentally prepared!"

The commander of the first battalion replied: "Yes!"

Ascending to a high ground, Commander Wei swept around the blocking position.

Regiment Commander Wei opened his voice and shouted: "The three battalion commanders, all come over to Lao Tzu!"

The three battalion commanders gathered around the left of Commander Wei.

Regiment Commander Wei shouted: "No, the trench fortifications of the second battalion can't be dug well!"

The commander of the second battalion shouted: "Tuanza! Is there anything that needs to be improved? ”

Regiment Commander Wei shouted: "Look at this trench dug too shallowly, can it stop the little devil's guns?" Dig hard, at least one person deep! ”

A big bump rose between his eyebrows, and the commander of the second battalion shouted: "Tuanzuo, the geological conditions here are not very suitable for soil work, and a shovel can dig a lot of stones!"

Captain Wei said: "Even if there are stones, you have to dig them!" This trench is dug deep to save your life, do you understand it, don't be afraid of difficulties! ”

Suddenly, the second battalion commander replied: "Yes!"

After a pause, Regiment Commander Wei shouted in a calm voice: "And your third battalion commander, the terrain of your position is relatively flat, and the trenches need to be improved!"

The third battalion commander asked: "Tuanzao, how to improve!"

After thinking for a moment, Regiment Commander Wei shouted: "The single-line trench can't resist the attack of the devils at all, and it is easy to be killed by artillery fire!" In this way, all the trenches will be changed to wavy lines, and then the curved communication trenches will be dug to connect the foxholes! ”

The commander of the third battalion responded: "Yes!"

At this time, the commander of the first battalion asked: "Tuanza, there is no problem with the position of our battalion, right?"

Head Wei said, "No problem? What's the big problem? I look, your mortar positions must be overhauled! ”

The commander of the first battalion shouted: "I've always dug like this!" Need a major overhaul? ”

Regiment Commander Wei shouted: "According to your digging method, if you fight a round of artillery fire, you will have to be reimbursed!" Cunning rabbit three holes, you don't want to save trouble, dig at least three spare artillery positions for Lao Tzu, and there must be a communication trench connection between each position to facilitate the safe transfer of artillery! ”

The commander of the first battalion shouted: "Yes!"
