Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan looked at the changes in the battlefield under the mountain, and said to the correspondent beside him: "Tell He Huizhang that the artillery will send a platoon to take over." Within ten minutes, I'm going to hear his cannon sound. Tell Director Ma that the company under his command will rush forward for me, and no matter what, I will find a way to intercept the Japanese puppet army. ”

After receiving Li Ziyuan's order, the messenger around him immediately took out the command flag and gave orders to Ma Yongcheng and He Huizhang under the mountain. The flag command was proposed by He Sanliang, and he also took the troops to learn. According to Li Ziyuan's requirements, all commanders above the squad level must learn to recognize the flag.

The meaning of the flag is cumbersome, but in the absence of field communication equipment, as long as the visibility is suitable and the battlefield area is small, the command can be conveyed much more reliably and quickly than the communicator. And the meaning of the expression should be clearer than the sound of the military horn. So as soon as He Sanliang brought it up, Li Ziyuan immediately accepted his suggestion.

Although for this order, the cadres below talked a lot. However, under Li Ziyuan's tough demands and implementation, it was still carried out to the letter. Learn the tactical flag language to command this order, and let the cadres below complain bitterly. But under Li Ziyuan's lead in learning, others can only swallow it even if they have bitterness.

The overall cultural level is too low, and although the flag language is simple and trouble-free to use, it is still too cumbersome for these grassroots cadres who have not been trained by military academies and cannot even read a few big characters. In that army, the flag language was not a compulsory course for all officers, but only for those who were generally responsible for communication tasks.

But considering the rapid changes on the battlefield, Li Ziyuan still decided that all the cadres should study. Learning the flag language, even more than Li Ziyuan's other requirement, learning to recognize the map is a headache for these cadres. Regarding the bitter complaints of the cadres below, Li Ziyuan didn't hear them at all. All commanders at and above the squad level who do not learn to recognize the flag language and the sound of the horn will be dismissed on the spot.

Under Li Ziyuan's high pressure, his detachment and above the squad members at least learned to judge simple flags. Of course, so far, most people's level has stayed at the simple flag language. For those flags that are too cumbersome, there are still some difficulties. But for Ma Yongcheng and He Huizhang, there is no problem.

Especially the congratulatory chapter, don't look at the lower level of education. However, when he was in Zhongtiao Mountain, because the branch of the army relied heavily on the command of the flag language, he had a certain foundation, but he was the fastest one for all personnel to learn the flag language. Not only that, He Sanliang passed the length of the flashlight light switch time, and the night light contact signal formulated, and He Huizhang was also the fastest learning speed.

Therefore, Li Ziyuan does not need to risk sending out now, and the correspondent who may be knocked out halfway will notify He Huizhang. You can directly use the quick flag to send an attack command to the congratulatory chapter under the mountain. It ensures the convenience of close battlefield command and, most importantly, speed.

After receiving the flag communication from the mountain, Ma Yongcheng was originally the first to destroy the Japanese puppet army's artillery position, and his intestines were about to regret his wishes. He immediately handed over his command to the instructor and the deputy company commander, led a platoon to open the way with grenades and light machine guns, fought a bloody way on the Japanese position, and rushed to Ma Yongcheng to take the spoils.

After receiving the mortar handed over by Ma Yongcheng, He Huizhang immediately set the aiming baseline himself, and his first shell had already been fired a minute later. Although this guy has a bad style of life, at least in terms of artillery quality, he is absolutely superb.

His first shell was accurately exploded in the middle of a group of Japanese troops who were relying on a depression and preparing to hold on. This mortar shell fired at close range directly killed and injured more than a dozen Japanese soldiers. The distance was too close, only more than 200 meters, so that these Japanese soldiers could not react even if they heard the sound of mortar shells breaking through the air.

I haven't touched the congratulatory chapter of my beloved mortar for a long time, and I don't feel sorry for the shell at all. With his hands and feet quite nimble, he personally hit the Japanese puppet army with shells one after another. The Japanese puppet army there tried to gather together, and his shells hit there.

And this guy's field of vision is quite broad, not only staring at the Japanese army in front of him, but also constantly aiming at the Japanese puppet army junction. This mortar is in his hands as if he has eyes, and it needs to be fought there specifically. On the battlefield of the three-sided attack, as long as his shells are needed, they will definitely fall, and there is no slightest hint of stinginess.

However, this guy didn't feel sorry for the shells, but he knew that his subordinates were touching the cannon for the first time, so he only used one mortar to fire. As soon as the cannon sound on He Huizhang's side rang out, it brought considerable assistance to Ma Yongcheng, who was attacking, and the troops attacking head-on.

Under the cover of He Huizhang's accurate mortar shells, the troops on both sides of the attack suddenly moved much faster. was hit by He Huizhang's surprisingly accurate shells, and the scattered Japanese troops could no longer hold together, so they could only fight separately. Seeing that the Japanese army was scattered, the puppet army was even more chaotic.

With the support of artillery fire, the speed of the troops' combat progress suddenly accelerated a lot. But Li Ziyuan on the mountain frowned while scolding He Huizhang: "This dog's old He, he's a fucking loser." If they continue to fight regardless of the severity of the target, how many shells will be enough for him to waste so much? ”

"And that crooked machine gun, just blow him up into parts. Although the performance of the devil's crooked machine gun is not good, it is a machine gun. If he bombs like this, no matter how many good weapons he wants, he will be blind. This old boy is so addicted to it that he forgot that this shell has run out, and it is difficult for us to replenish it. ”

"This old thing, I don't know what my surname is when I touch the mortar, he still thinks he is in Chongqing. After the battle was over, Lao Tzu had to deal with him. Even if it is the landlord's family, there is not so much surplus grain for him to waste. This loser really doesn't know how expensive money and rice are. ”

It's no wonder that Li Ziyuan feels sorry for the shells, it's true that some shells were captured this time, but I don't know when they will be captured next time. I don't know how hard it will be in the future. It's good to be able to save a little more. The Eighth Route Army was poor, there were so many cannons, and most of the shells were captured.

The limited production of the base arsenal is not enough to replenish a few main brigades, and it will be their turn there. Moreover, the artillery shells manufactured by the base areas themselves are the same as other ammunition produced by the base areas. Because of the raw materials and technology, not only the performance is poor, the range is short, but even the explosion power is far from the original cargo ratio.

Li Ziyuan once saw with his own eyes that the mortar shell he made fell to the ground because the tail fell off within a few tens of meters. The most important thing is that this mortar shell is not only basically equivalent to not hitting out, even if it accidentally falls to the ground, it has not exploded.

And with such a quality, the troops still hold it as if it were a baby. A year's limited production to replenish the main forces is not enough, and the local troops simply do not have their turn. If this captured shell runs out, it is very likely that it will be a distant prospect to replenish it next time. As long as there is a slightly more stable source of ammunition, Li Ziyuan will not be angry like this.

He's not the kind of person who can't give up ammunition when he needs it. The key problem is that there is a real lack of replenishment sources, and it is really difficult to replenish the captured ammunition when it runs out. The next time you want to capture some shells, you may have to sacrifice a lot.

Hearing Li Ziyuan's complaints, He Sanliang, who also knew that he was distressed by the shells, did not answer. Instead, he held a telescope and was paying full attention to the changes on the battlefield. It turned out that although the Japanese puppet army under the mountain was taken by surprise, the battle was always in a stalemate under the situation of stubborn resistance of the Japanese puppet army under the mountain and the equal strength of the troops.

Although Ma Yongcheng's side did not count the consumption of ammunition, he attacked with all his strength to try to cut off the connection between the Japanese puppet army. However, under the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army, many attacks failed to achieve the goal. And He Huizhang, who came from the flank, was also entangled by the Japanese puppet army in front of him, and failed to achieve the task set by Li Ziyuan.

Until He Huizhang opened the way with firepower and forcibly approached Ma Yongcheng to take over the captured artillery. As soon as the artillery was fired here, the Japanese puppet army that was trying to gather was dispersed, and the original stalemate situation was changed. The change in the battle situation after He Huizhang opened fire made the big stone that He Sanliang was pressing in his heart gradually let go.

As long as the Japanese puppet army cannot regain its regiment, at least there is no problem in defeating the puppet army first. defeated the puppet army as the main force, and the remaining Japanese army was alone. Even if you can't eat them completely, you can at least bite off a piece of their meat.

As for Li Ziyuan's distressed thoughts about the cannonballs, He Sanliang did not make any comments. In the long run, Li Ziyuan is right. However, judging from today's battle, there is nothing wrong with what He Huizhang is doing now. After all, the longer the battle drags on, the more detrimental it will be to yourself.

At this moment when gold is not a nest, there are some things that cannot be demanded too much. How to end the battle as soon as possible and minimize the casualties of the troops is what He Sanliang thinks should be the most important consideration at the moment. After all, where is the tenacious will of the Japanese army to fight? And once the puppet army has the support of the Japanese army, it may not be a ball of tofu scum.

However, He Sanliang did not talk to Li Ziyuan about these words. He thinks that Li Ziyuan, who is angry, may not be able to listen to his own persuasion. Anyway, the current cannon is in the hands of He Huizhang, and Li Ziyuan is helpless. If you want to persuade yourself, you should wait until the battle is over.

Thinking of this, He Sanliang looked at the trophy that Li Ziyuan gave him on his wrist, the time pointed by the hands of the Citizen watch in Japan, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Li Ziyuan's order to Zeng Sheng was that he must come over to join the battle within half an hour. But now an hour has passed, and Zeng Sheng's county brigade has not yet appeared.

In order to annihilate this Japanese puppet army as soon as possible, Li Ziyuan put all his troops into it, and except for a few guard posts behind him, he didn't even put a squad on guard. Zeng Sheng, who was originally intended to be placed in a warning position, has not appeared yet, which means that the surrounding area of this battlefield is now singing empty city plans.

From Wangjiagou to here, it should be climbed in an hour. Zeng Sheng's delay in appearing will bring variables to the entire battlefield, Li Ziyuan will not be unaware. Li Ziyuan couldn't bear it now, and he didn't send someone to urge Zeng Sheng again, indicating that his dissatisfaction with Zeng Sheng had reached the extreme.
