While the meeting was still in progress, a correspondent quietly walked in and handed Zhang Cheng a small note. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Cheng quietly took the small note and quickly browsed it, and his face couldn't help but change.

The change in Zhang Cheng's complexion attracted everyone's attention, and Zhang Cheng waved his hand to signal that the meeting would not pause and continue. After everyone finished reporting the results of the previous training, Zhang Cheng coughed, and then said: "The scouts have discovered the vanguard of the devils, and they will probably arrive in Baotou tomorrow morning, and the battle will start soon." ”

When they heard the news that a great war was imminent, the comrades were not afraid at all, but all became excited. After three months of rest, the troops were replenished with a large number of Soviet-style heavy weapons and machine guns and rifles produced by the Yulin Arsenal.

"Great, come on, devils, my armored brigade has long been hungry and thirsty!" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, and he looked dissatisfied.

"Haha, my heavy artillery is waiting for the little devil to come!" Although Sun Xiucai had just become the brigade commander of the heavy artillery brigade, he was not stage frightened at all, and his face was also full of battle.

"Commander, how many devils are here? Don't just come a little bit is not enough for us to stuff our teeth. Ding Wei asked arrogantly.

"Chief of Staff, tell me about the devil." Zhang Cheng named Zhang Fengming to answer.

Zhang Fengming immediately stood up and introduced to everyone: "The army of the devil this time plus the puppet Mongolian army is about 60,000 people, and its main force is the 12th Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army, which is a permanent division of Japan.

The 12th Division is equipped with two infantry brigades, one field heavy artillery brigade, one antiaircraft artillery wing, one chariot wing, one flying regiment, one cavalry wing, one engineer wing, and one baggage wing, plus a communications team and a field hospital, with a total number of 30,000 people.

In addition to the 12th Division, there are also the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade and the 11th Brigade to help, and the two independent mixed brigades together have a total of more than 10,000 people.

In the end, there are 20,000 puppet Mongolian troops, although the infantry of the puppet Mongolian army is vulnerable, but 10,000 of them can still pose a great threat to us, and after they are equipped with Japanese-style weapons, their combat effectiveness is even higher than that of the cavalry of the Ma family's army.

This is probably all there is to the devil's situation, and it is worth paying special attention to the fact that the 12th Division also has a flying team and a tank wing, and now the aid equipment we asked for from the Soviet Union can finally come in handy, whether it is a mule or a horse, it can be pulled out for a walk, so as to test the results of the previous stage of training. ”

After listening to the introduction of the chief of staff, everyone's faces couldn't help but become serious, the devils who came to attack this time seem to be not good, if the instructor before the change of clothes suddenly encountered this group of devils equipped with planes, tanks, and heavy artillery, it is really impossible to say who will win and who will lose.

Fortunately, the instructor received a large amount of Soviet aid equipment, including aircraft, tanks, and heavy artillery, and carried out large-scale training some time ago, and his combat effectiveness increased by two or three steps.

"Commander, this time the little devil made a big move, obviously with the idea of annihilating our tutor in one fell swoop, but after our tutor changed his clothes, his combat effectiveness has increased by several big steps, it is a good time for us to show our talents, this time we must let the devil have no return." Li Yunlong didn't know what he was afraid of at all, the stronger the enemy, the more excited he became, and in the face of an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, he was the first to make a statement, which made Zhang Cheng very satisfied.

Led by Li Yunlong, the comrades reacted and asked Zhang Cheng to fight, asking Zhang Cheng to allow them to fight.

Although the strength and equipment of the devils have been greatly improved compared with the previous Fifth Division, the equipment of the instructor is slightly higher than that of the Japanese army after the change of equipment, and the strength of the instructor is as high as 130,000.

Seeing that the comrades were actively seeking to fight, Zhang Cheng was very satisfied, which showed that after this period of training, everyone's sharpness was not worn out, but became more indestructible.

Zhang Cheng stood up and concluded: "Since embarking on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, my instructor has been invincible, and has successively achieved the brilliant record of eliminating three brigades and one division, and is the first to recover Taiyuan, an important town in North China.

However, in the context of the aura of victory, our instructor also became the target of the Japanese army, which attracted the attention of the Japanese army to our instructor in advance, and was strongly retaliated against by the Japanese Kwantung Army, and it may even make the Japanese army shift the direction of the expedition to the Eighth Route Army, which is still weak.

But can we be held back for fear of retaliation by the Japanese army? I was very relieved to see the comrades' reactions to the war, which showed that they had completely overcome their fear of the Japanese army, which was not invincible, and that they also carried one head on two shoulders, and that they would die if they were shot and shattered if they were hit by a bomb.

At present, the Japanese army has sent 60,000 troops to launch a large-scale attack on our base area, intending to invade our base area and trying to wipe out all our instructors. Therefore, this battle is a life-and-death decisive battle between us and the devil, and I now ask everyone, are you confident that you can win this decisive battle? ”

"Yes!" The comrades shouted at the top of their voices.

Seeing that the morale was available, Zhang Cheng was no longer verbose, and directly ordered: "First, all the members of the First Flying Brigade of the Eighth Route Army are on standby at Baotou Airport, and once they find that the Japanese plane is coming, they will immediately take off into the air to meet the Japanese plane.

Second, the air defense regiment made air defense preparations and dared to attack when it discovered that the Japanese planes were coming to bomb Baotou and shoot down the little devil's plane.

The 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Brigades blocked the main Japanese force head-on, depleting the enemy's forces and firepower.

Fourth, the artillery brigade and heavy artillery brigade should do a good job of concealment, and after the enemy's heavy artillery positions have surfaced one by one, they will strike preemptively to destroy the Japanese army's field heavy artillery brigades.

Fifth, the light and heavy machine guns of the heavy fire regiment were used intensively to smash the group charge of the devils, and the whole army of the blocking battalion was dispatched, focusing on the officers and firing points of the devils.

Sixth, the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade went out day and night, went around behind the devils, and when the whole army launched a counterattack against the devils, they immediately attacked and cut off the devils' rear roads.

The 7th and 4rd Brigades and the divisional combat units serve as general reserves and are on standby at any time.

Eighth, after the Japanese army was exhausted, our army, with the armored brigade as the vanguard, pursued and attacked the devils fiercely, and wiped out all the enemies who dared to invade our base area! Did you hear me clearly? ”

"Clear!" Comrades shouted loudly.
