Chapter 146: Lose Both!

Tian Zheng sat on top of the city tower. The battlefield in the field has been noisy, and the soldiers of the Wild Wolf Regiment are resting in shifts, but Tian Zheng has not slept all night, his eyes have been staring out the window, and intermittent gunfire is ringing on the Japanese position in the distance.

"Commander, you go to sleep first. I'll keep an eye on it for you here. Deng Li quietly walked over and helped Tian Zheng massage his shoulders.

Tian Zheng signed Deng Li's hand, "How much ammunition do we have?" ”

Deng Li said in a low voice, "There are less than one hundred and fifty shells in the artillery. There were thirty more rockets. The grenades averaged to each soldier, only five. There are still a lot of bullets in the guns, which should be able to support our troops to fight with full firepower for a day! ”

"Send all the ammunition down. This time we pushed the little devils into a hurry. If Qian Jin's operation fails, then it is estimated that as soon as dawn comes, we will be attacked by the Japanese army in retaliation! ”

Tian Zheng arranged for Deng Li to distribute all the ammunition in place, while he himself stood up and went to all the positions to walk around.

It was the pre-dawn darkness now, and he was going to inspect the situation on each position, check the personnel, equipment, camouflage, fortifications, etc., and by the way, boost the morale of the soldiers.

Outside Shenyang, Tian Zheng first went to the two lines of defense in the north of the city. The defensive line was made up of dug trenches with earthwork piled up on them and sacks of sawdust and gravel. The soldiers rested in the trenches. Each line of defense will have an observation post every fifteen meters. There was a squad of soldiers at the outpost who were taking turns observing the movement on the opposite side. The two lines of defense were fifty meters apart. The front-line command post on Princes Road is on top of the second line of defense.

"How? Zilu, tired or not? Tian Zheng gently patted Wang Zilu's shoulder.

"Not tired! I was thinking that we had dealt such a big blow to the little devils this time, and with the personality of the little devils, I am afraid that they would organize a large-scale counterattack! I don't dare to relax for a moment! Wang Zilu replied.

"Let's go, come with me to your two lines of defense and take a look."

Tian Zheng walked out with Wang Zilu. The night breeze in the early hours of the morning was very cold, and the dew began to slowly fall. Many soldiers were nestled in the trenches, with no place to stretch out their quilts, so they could only wrap their single clothes tightly and huddle together to keep warm. But they all slept soundly. The cold of this night dew does not affect the beauty of their dreams.

"Sub-road. You sent someone to find Deputy Regiment Commander Deng and asked him to send down the cotton clothes and tops of these soldiers who had just come to support, how do you see how cold these soldiers have become? If they don't rest well, how can they exert their strong combat effectiveness? ”

Wang Zilu immediately called a correspondent and asked him to take a company to apply for cotton clothes.

"In this battle, we are under a lot of pressure! Most of these brothers were brought out by us from Liaocheng. I wonder how much will be left after this battle? Tian Zheng said with a little emotion.

"Commander, don't worry, we will definitely defend the battle line! Never let the little devil step over the line of defense! ”

Tian Zheng nodded. He walked to the defensive line west of the city. There was only one concealed defensive line to the west of the city, with a strength of about one and a half battalions. The commander-in-chief of the defense line is Meng Changliang. Now, due to the expansion of the strength of the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment, the two infantry regiments have been reorganized, in order to avoid conflicts between their positions and the regimental headquarters of the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment. These two infantry regiments did not have the position of regimental commander, and only the deputy regimental commander acted as the regimental commander. The first infantry regiment is in charge of Meng Changliang, the former captain of the air defense brigade. The second regiment was in charge of Zhao Qilong, the former chief of staff of the Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army.

"Chang Liang, is there an observation post arranged?" Tian Zheng walked to Meng Changliang's command post and asked.

"Captain! Don't worry, I have arranged no less than ten light and dark whistles! Hehe, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet? Meng Changliang said.

"I can't sleep, come out and see the brethren! Chang Liang, our task this time is really not easy! Although the west of the city is not the main battlefield. But the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. No one knows when the little devil will emerge from the west of the city! Your task is really not easy! ”

"Rest assured, commander, we will hold our ground! Promise not to let go of a devil! ”

Tian Zheng nodded. patted Meng Changliang on the shoulder as an encouragement. Then he confessed to him, saying that he would wait for the prince to send someone to send a part of the satisfaction to the soldiers, so that the soldiers could use it while they slept.

The southern part of the city is full of hills, and there are a few hillsides in the distance. The highest hillside is one kilometer away from Shenyang City in a straight line, and the height is one hundred and sixty meters, which is the only commanding height within a radius of two kilometers from Shenyang City! And one of the air defense positions arranged by Tian Zheng is there!

Tian Zheng was alone, and he didn't bring guards to accompany him, so he went to visit the soldiers one by one. Each of these anti-aircraft positions was arranged on the commanding heights, so these positions were all on the top of the mountain. If Tian Zheng wants to go through these positions one by one, it does take a lot of physical strength and time.

But Tian Zheng didn't seem to care about this. He visited them all from one position to another. Because these positions are all small units, often only one squad or platoon of troops, and the distance is relatively long, so all the materials such as cotton clothes are in place in advance. Tian Zheng looked at the positions, although each position was resting, there would be at least one sentry standing guard in each position, and a radio soldier on duty and acting as a secret sentry. This reassured Tian Zheng a lot.

"Brothers, when it is dawn, there is a high probability that the Japanese army will launch a large-scale attack! They may bring in a large number of planes from the direction of Yingkou. Your task is heavy! And it's also dangerous! But I hope that you can all fight bravely, and you must see that behind you, on the various positions outside the city of Shenyang, there are our brothers, there are thousands of them! Every time you let a plane pass, the shells carried on it could take the lives of hundreds of our brothers! ”

"Don't worry, Commander! Guaranteed to stick to your post! Never let go of an enemy plane! ”

Although the soldiers of the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment have always undergone a very strict spiritual and cultural education, this kind of behavior of the regiment commander personally standing in front of the soldiers to comfort the soldiers can still play a very big role in encouragement!

When Tian Zheng returned to Shenyang City, it was already five o'clock in the morning. As soon as he walked to the staircase of the city tower, he met war correspondents Wang Yaqin and Jiang Yizhou.

"Commander Tian, the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment has never suffered a loss in the battle against the Japanese invaders, and every battle has been a complete victory, causing huge damage to the Japanese invaders at a very low cost of casualties! May I ask Commander Tian, what do you think of this battle in front of you? Wang Yaqin had obviously learned a lot about the Wild Wolf Regiment from Yan Shisan, and when she saw Tian Zheng at this moment, she immediately started interviewing.

"This battle, I don't know what the outcome of the battle will be! The Japanese army dispatched a division and a half of troops, and had a large number of armored troops, and there would be fighter units for air support, while we only had less than 10,000 troops to defend in Shenyang City, and we also suffered a great loss in weapons, so it was really difficult for me to predict the outcome of the battle. However, I, Tian Zheng, swear here, as long as the little devils don't kill all of our wild wolf independent group, then they will definitely not be able to step beyond Shenyang City! We are bound to fight to the end, tightly guarding the defense line around Shenyang and Jinzhou, so that the little devils cannot enter the pass! ”

Tian Zheng waited restlessly above the city tower. The reconnaissance battalion has returned, but there is still no news from the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Team. Tian Zheng was not at ease, and asked Lu Cheng to return to Area No. 3 with the reconnaissance battalion to pick up the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team.

It was five o'clock in the morning, and Lu Cheng, who went to pick up Qian Jin and the others, had not sent any news back. But there was a roar in the sky. It was like a short, muffled thunderclap. Tian Zheng's heart was shocked, this is the sound of an airplane!

After the huge losses last night, the little devils were finally provoked, and in the early hours of this morning, as soon as a glimmer of white light appeared in the sky, they dispatched a flying team from Yingkou Airport to assist in the attack!

However, as soon as the voices of these planes were heard, Tian Zheng immediately heard the sound of anti-aircraft machine guns coming from the air defense position he had arranged on the top of the hill south of the city! (To be continued......)

PS: Maybe the reader really doesn't like this detailed description of the battle. However, this kind of battle is the description that can really reflect the situation of the battlefield. I don't want to write about the kind of plot that wins in just a few words. What I want to say is that every victory is hard-won! In every battle, someone dies! Every action is a gamble of life! It's all a banquet of death!
