Li Ziyuan's answer that he still wanted to stay in the front-line combat unit made the deputy commander-in-chief slightly stunned. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ . However, after a while, he shook his head and said with some disappointment: "You 'bastard' boys, you can find several reasons to shirk if you are transferred to work in the headquarters one by one." ”

"Don't think I don't know your little thoughts, isn't it just that you don't feel comfortable working at the headquarters, so it's better to lead the troops below. It's okay, since you don't want to come to work at the headquarters, I can't force you, after all, isn't the twisted melon sweet? It's a good thing that you have ambitions, and those of us who are leaders have the support. ”

After saying that, the deputy commander-in-chief turned his head to the division commander of the 129th Division beside him and said, "Since this little guy is willing to lead the troops in front, then give him more burdens." This kid is a good material for leading troops, the whole army is armed in so many places, there are not many people who can fight such a tough battle with the regular army of the Japanese army, and can hold out for so long, and inflict such great casualties on the Japanese army. ”

It shows that this little guy is still very good at training troops and commanding wars. Isn't it a bit condescending to bring only one company-level unit here? You give him a battalion and let him be the battalion commander. Well, I don't think there's a problem with expanding this guerrilla unit of his into an independent battalion. ”

"At the beginning, only one basic guerrilla unit was established in Hubei because of the special situation. After this war, the situation should have changed significantly. Other counties are all independent battalions, so let's not favor one over the other, you study and upgrade them to independent battalions. ”

After giving Li Ziyuan a battalion, the deputy commander-in-chief turned his head to Li Ziyuan and said: "Since you kid is unwilling to go with me, then work hard here, I will always pay attention to you at the headquarters." But don't think it's a good thing for you kid to be paid attention to by me, if you don't do well here, I'm going to scold my mother. ”

Regarding the deputy commander-in-chief's evaluation, Li Ziyuan was a little embarrassed, but also said solemnly: "Please rest assured that the two chiefs will live up to the expectations of the chiefs, lead good soldiers and fight a good battle." In fact, no matter how much the two leaders say, no matter how good they are, it is not as good as really doing it, so please see my actual performance. ”

No matter how much Li Ziyuan said and how good he was, it was not as good as if he really did it, so the deputy commander-in-chief nodded thoughtfully, patted Li Ziyuan's shoulder, and didn't say anything. Instead, with the commander of the 129th Division beside him, the two of them raised their binoculars to observe the battle situation.

At this time, on the battlefield, the Japanese army, which had been divided into several pieces, was still desperately resisting, but it was obvious that there was a situation where it could not be done. Although the Japanese army's means of communication were eliminated, the deputy commander-in-chief, who was also aware of the speed and efficiency of the Japanese army's reinforcements, issued a general attack order to the troops participating in the battle at Yamashita.

Listening to the charging horn ringing in his ears, as well as the dense explosion of mortar shells and the sound of gunfire, Li Ziyuan knew that this was the headquarters to make a bloody investment. For the Eighth Route Army, which had no fixed replenishment and did not have a strong production capacity of ammunition and ammunition, it was impossible to use so many mortars at once without being ruthless.

Li Ziyuan clearly heard that the main force under the mountain had at least two mortar companies and more than three heavy machine gun companies. Otherwise, the gunfire would not have been so dense. And at this moment, the sound of gunfire faintly heard in the north, which also clearly told Li Ziyuan that the troops who were acting as reinforcements there were also fighting fiercely with the Japanese puppet army in the south in Ludong.

I didn't know that Li Ziyuan, who had sent a telegram from his superiors asking his superiors to prepare for contingencies, was a little surprised by the speed of the Japanese army's response. The battle of the main siege on this side has just started, and there is not much time for the Japanese army to go south to reinforce.

Although he was surprised by the speed of reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army, Li Ziyuan didn't have too many thoughts about the current battle situation. At present, nearly half of his troops have suffered casualties, and they are no longer capable of participating in the battlefield. Moreover, the battlefield is not wide at the moment, and the main force has already invested two regiments, so there is no need to participate in it yourself.

The most important thing is that Li Ziyuan himself can still put himself in the right position. Even though this battle was the one he pulled apart, he fought more than half of it. In the case that you can't finish it, this benefit should be divided and scored. Li Ziyuan never thought that he could really swallow this Okazaki detachment and dozens of reinforcements in one gulp.

At this point, Li Ziyuan thought very clearly. Moreover, he also knew that without the cooperation and reinforcements of the main force, it would be difficult to completely eat the Japanese puppet army in a short period of time without relying on himself, even if he added the divisional backbone regiment.

What's more, the Japanese army's retaliatory 'sweep' of the Taihang base area this time was an overall action. Whether there are other large Japanese troops in Licheng at the moment, I don't know for the time being. But if there is, then the danger is even greater. Ludong may be farther away from the battlefield, but if there are Japanese troops in Licheng, it can be said to be there. The speed of reinforcements of the Japanese army, Li Ziyuan is still very clear.

Li Ziyuan, who put himself in a very correct position, did not think that there was anything bad for him when the main force arrived at this time. As for the booty, the amount captured in the past two days was more than double the size of his own troops. The rest is for yourself, and you don't have the ability to digest it.

Li Ziyuan, who has now become a spectator, together with his old chief Wang Cheng, cautiously left the side of the deputy commander-in-chief and division commander, and ran to a corner that was not very inconspicuous, but could observe the entire battlefield. The two men raised their binoculars and observed the enemy's situation while constantly commenting on the gains and losses of the two regiments in which the main force participated in the battle.

However, this time it was very bloody, and even the mortars that were usually reluctant to use were taken out, and the main force that was taken out did not give Li Ziyuan too much time to watch the battle. At present, the Japanese army, which has lost its artillery and communication tools, is at a disadvantage in its own firepower, and it is not possible to request air support.

In addition to more than half of its own casualties, the remaining forces were divided again. Although still desperately resisting. They even launched counter-assaults constantly in an attempt to refocus the forces that had been divided. But as time progressed, the resistance became weaker and weaker. Four and a half hours after the arrival of the main forces, the gunfire on the battlefield turned from dense to sporadic.

Although it is not known what the outcome of the battle will be, the sporadic gunfire also indicates that the final resistance of the Japanese puppet army has basically collapsed. Putting down the telescope in his hand, Wang Cheng turned his head to Li Ziyuan and sighed: "Let's not talk about anything else in this battle, the main force can solve the battle in such a short time, and the battlefield terrain chosen by your kid can be said to bear the first responsibility." ”

"Although it is also a road sandwiched between two mountains, the Japanese army also controls the commanding heights around it. But the steepest terrain of this hill has always been controlled by us, and the mountains controlled by the Japanese army are basically relatively gentle, easy to attack and difficult to defend. If the Japanese army occupies this hill, I am afraid that our superiority in strength will not be able to be used. ”

"Even if we can take it, we definitely won't be able to settle the battle so quickly. At the same time, the casualty figure is much larger. Although your kid is sometimes reckless, this eye is also very poisonous. I chose a good battlefield for myself. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Cheng said with some regret: "This move made by your kid this time is really not small. Even the deputy commander-in-chief and division commander were alarmed, not to mention that the main force came at least three regiments this time. There must be at least two or more regiments of troops blocking the periphery. In other words, the battlefield that your kid created mobilized more than five regiments of the main force. ”

"I received an order from the commander to reinforce you, but I didn't expect to encounter the main force halfway through. Now it's a good thing, my troops don't even have a chance to 'intervene', they can only serve as a reserve. In the eyes of the superiors, the basic regiment of my division is still inferior to the main force at the critical moment. ”

For Wang Cheng's praise first, and then some sour words, Li Ziyuan smiled: "I said the old chief, don't be too careful." I estimate that the fact that so many troops dispatched by the higher authorities should have something to do with the overall situation of this anti-sweeping and 'sweeping' operation. Didn't you see that the boss looked a lot haggard these days? In this battle, the main force invested so much, and the superiors still had some considerations. ”

"Old chief, you have also seen the battle situation under the mountain. In the previous stage, the casualties of the main force were not light, and the average number of regiments participating in the battle was only 50 or 60 per company, and 70 or 80 people was considered too much. At this time, the headquarters took out so many main forces at once, which also shows that the headquarters is very determined to completely eat this Japanese army. ”

After Li Ziyuan's words of persuasion were finished, looking at the main force of the Japanese army's 41-type mountain artillery that was being pushed at the foot of the mountain, Wang Cheng shook his head and said: "I don't need to say this, I see it better than you." How long has it been since the Japanese army's retaliatory sweep began, and the boss and division commander can clearly see the old age. ”

"In this battle, no matter how many troops the main force invests, it can annihilate the infantry detachment of the Japanese army, which is definitely a considerable encouragement to the entire Taihang base area for this anti-sweeping 'sweep' operation. Otherwise, the boss and division commander would not have come to the front line to command at this time. ”

"It's just that in this battle, I, the head snake of half the ground, can only be watched from the wall and used as a reserve. Seeing the brothers' troops fighting so lively, I was still a little unwilling to do that. Although my basic regiment is also a local armed force, it is no worse than those main regiments. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Cheng suddenly looked at Li Ziyuan, and changed the topic: "I don't know how to say hello, the boss personally named you to work at the headquarters, such a good opportunity, you actually gave it up." With the battle-hardened chiefs like the boss and the deputy chief of staff, you learn more, I really don't know what you kid thinks. ”

Regarding Wang Cheng's words, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said, "Old chief, you are really stupid to me." When I went to work at the headquarters, I was actually closer to the chief, so what other benefits did I have? On the contrary, he is bound all day long, and he doesn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, so is he at ease down there? ”

"Take your troops here, fight if you win, and leave if you can't win. Fight with the devil with a knife and a gun, and you can fight as much as you want, and your head is your own. When you work at the headquarters, you can learn something, and your head has to follow the beat of your superiors. If you want to graduate from our war university, you have to rely on actual combat experience. ”

"Besides, you don't know the boss's temper, working next to him is always the worst, and if you want to improve your food, you have to be criticized for being separated from the masses. Although we can't harm the people in Hubei County, we can't be wrong with what the devil eats. ”
