Chapter 519 "yīn scheme" (ask for subscription!) ）

"Commander, now is not the time to scold. In the battle just now, the first battalion suffered heavy losses, and the second and third battalions also suffered losses. We are a group, and we have almost lost our combat capability. More importantly, the main force of our regiment, the company commander, Comrade Zhou Kang, also died in the battle just now. All the cadres above the platoon level in the company, except for the platoon commander Li Shengda, the rest were all sacrificed. You see, who to let be the commander of a company. As the main force of our regiment, the combat effectiveness of the first company must be maintained. He must not be allowed to collapse like this because of today's battle. Looking at the regiment commander full of anger in front of him, the political commissar reminded him very tactfully.

"Since you are accused of changing Li Shengda to a platoon commander, then let Li Shengda go up. You also saw in the battle just now, this Li Shengda is fully capable of serving as the commander of a company. Besides, this Li Shengda is now a probationary party member, and he also meets the regulations of our army. In addition, the troops were ordered to rest and recuperate on the spot to replenish their strength. Let's wait for the main force to arrive, and then we will pack up the xiǎo devils in front of us and avenge the sacrificed soldiers. What do you think, commissar? After a short period of contemplation, the regiment commander Daniel Zhang replied.

"Okay, in the name of the regiment headquarters, I will issue an order to appoint Comrade Li Shengda as the commander of the first company." …

Just when the forward regiment was resting because of the setback of the attack. In the marching headquarters of the recruit column, a communications staff officer ran out of breath in front of Liu Hua, who was also on a rapid march, and reported anxiously: "Commander, head Daniel Zhang of the forward regiment reports." In the process of attacking the forward positions of the Japanese army, the troops were indiscriminately shelled by the Japanese artillery units, and the troops suffered heavy losses and requested artillery support. ”

"It seems that our avant-garde regiment has gone crazy with the xiǎo devils on the front line. Otherwise, the commander of the xiǎo devil would not have given the order to shell even his own people. After listening to the report of the communications staff officer, Liu Hua said with a sneer. Immediately, he ordered to the communications staff officer in front of him.

"Order the avant-garde regiment to leave a battalion to build fortifications on the spot and conduct a guard. The rest of the troops were all hidden. The main forces of the column were ordered to conceal themselves on the spot, especially the artillery regiment, and all equipment and personnel must be concealed. ”

"Yes, Commander," replied the communications staff officer, saluting.

Looking at the communications staff officer who was leaving quickly, he saw the commander Liu Hua with a sneer on his face in front of him. In the headquarters, Wang Qiangshang, the commander of the first division of the recruit column who assisted Liu Hua in commanding the operation, couldn't help frowning his brows, and asked with a suspicious expression.

"Commander, the forward positions of the Japanese army are in front of us. And under the onslaught of the forward regiment, there were heavy losses. Why don't we just let the artillery regiment join the fire and take the enemy's forward positions in one go. bī forced the xiǎo devils in the county seat, shrinking their defensive line. ”

Liu Hua pointed to the sky above his head, where there was no trace of clouds at this moment, and replied with a smile: "Senior Master Wang, things are not as simple as you imagined, the combat effectiveness of the devils, no matter what time it is, we can't be xiǎo coveted." Don't forget, in addition to facing the army units of the xiǎo devils, there are also air force units that may appear above us at any time. If nothing else, the air reinforcements of the Xiǎo devil should have appeared on the way to the opening. ”

"Commander, what do you mean, let's act again at night..."Wang Qiang said with a look of sudden realization.

"Well, since the Anti-Japanese War, the night has been the world of our squadron. So, I decided that tonight, we will fight a large-scale night battle for the Xiǎo Devil Kwantung Army. Give orders to the troops at once, and now give me time to rest. Tonight, let's go to the outside of Baishan County. Liu Hua nodded approvingly and ordered decisively.

Sure enough, as Liu Hua expected. After a while, a huge engine roar slowly reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield, from far and near. A bomber group composed of more than a dozen planes of various kinds quickly appeared over the battlefield and began to circle back and forth, looking for their own bombing targets.

At the same time, a Xiǎo devil reconnaissance plane, quickly breaking away from the formation, with a huge roar, stuck its head to the ground. Subsequently, at an altitude of about five hundred meters above the ground, circling and reconnaissance back and forth were carried out. , however, at this moment, the forward positions of the Japanese army are directly ahead. Except for a battalion of soldiers, squatting motionless in the winding trenches, ready to dodge the aerial strikes of the xiǎo devils, not a single person can be seen on the huge battlefield...

In the headquarters of the Japanese division and regiment in Baishan County, the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, was surrounded by a group of officers, standing in the open space in the center of the division headquarters, pointing at the air reinforcements who had just arrived at the battlefield with a smile on his face.

"Yo West, as long as the Kwantung Army Command can provide a steady stream of air reinforcements to our army. I can say with great confidence that even if the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Méng Mountain area poured out, they would not be the opponent of my 27th Division. Chief of Staff, immediately contact the aerial reconnaissance plane, I want to know the Eighth Route Army outside the city, the specific strength and firepower of our opponent. Lieutenant General Yoshimoto said confidently to the chief of staff behind him.

"Hai, Your Excellency the Division Commander...", however, the Chief of Staff was just about to storm the headquarters. The sound of hurried footsteps reached everyone's ears. Immediately after that, the figure of the communications staff officer of the division and regiment headquarters appeared in front of everyone.

"Report to the commander of the division, a telegram from the Air Force reconnaissance plane."

"What's the matter today, the air force guys who have always looked down on our army have reconnoitred the situation outside the city in such a short period of time. Read. Lieutenant General Yoshimoto shook his head and ordered.

"Hai, the aerial reconnaissance plane reported: After reconnaissance, the troops of the Eighth Route Army who confronted the defenders of our forward positions had at most only one battalion of troops. In addition, the reconnaissance planes did not find a single hostile armed force within a radius of several tens of kilometers. The communications staff officer reported loudly.

For a time, all the officers, including Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, had a look of disbelief on their faces. After a brief period of shock, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto spoke: "Did the reconnaissance plane confirm the accuracy of the telegram?" ”

"It's been confirmed. After two rounds of searching, the reconnaissance plane was outside the city and did not find any targets. Your Excellency, the commander of the division, please take a clear view. The communications staff officer replied in the affirmative.

The communications staff officer's answer was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and everyone was shocked on the spot. However, after half a minute of shock, it was Lieutenant General Yoshimoto who was the first to speak.

"Gentlemen, go back to the headquarters first to make the final decision. In addition, I will immediately contact Shoda Shaoza in the forward position, and I will talk to him personally. After saying that, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto turned around and walked briskly towards the war room of the division headquarters.

Walking into the division headquarters, a telephone appeared in front of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto. Just as Lieutenant General Yoshimoto put the earpiece to his ear, the voice of the commander of the forward position, Shoda Shaosa, came from the telephone.

"Your Excellency the commander of the reporting division, the supreme commander of the forward position, Shoda Shaoza, is ordered to report and ask the division commander to give a lecture."

"Yo Si! Zhengtian-kun, you fought very well in the battle just now. Now, I just want to know a little bit about what the situation is like in the forward positions and how many fighters are left in the troops. In response to Shoda Shaosa's respectful answer, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto nodded with satisfaction and then asked.

"Division commander, after nearly a Xiǎo hour of fighting, I have lost a total of 180 Imperial Army warriors in our forward positions. However, the death of 180 warriors wiped out at least one battalion of troops of the Eighth Route Army. At present, our army is relying on the trenches to confront the troops of the Eighth Route Army in front of it. Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Commander, that you will hold on to the last soldier and will never let the Eighth Route Army easily occupy the entire forward position. Shoda Shaoza hurriedly replied.

"Very good, Shoda-kun, you did a very good job, I will give you credit. Shoda-kun, now I want to ask you a question, I hope you can vouch for me with the honor of a soldier, and you must answer me truthfully? After getting the answer he wanted, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto immediately got to the point and asked in his majestic voice.

"Haiyi, I promise to answer truthfully, please rest assured that Your Excellency the division commander."

"Very well, Shoda-kun, I ask you. In the battle just now, how many troops did the troops of the Eighth Route Army attack you? With your experience, how many troops do you think there are in the follow-up troops of the Eighth Route Army. Lieutenant General Yoshimoto asked with a serious look at the microphone in his hand.

As soon as Lieutenant General Yoshimoto's words fell, in the microphone, at the first time, a very serious voice came from Shoda Shaoza. "Report to Your Excellency, Division Commander, in the attack just now, the Eighth Route Army dispatched at least one main regiment of troops. As for the follow-up strength of the Eighth Route Army, judging from the experience of humble posts and the offensive strength of the forward units of the Eighth Route Army, it has at least one division's strength, and it is also equipped with a certain number of heavy weapons. ”

Hearing the answer in the microphone, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto nodded silently, and then said, "Yo Xi, I know." Zhengtian-kun, the forward position, I will give it to you, and if there is any situation, report to the division headquarters immediately. Okay, that's it, I hope Shoda-kun will not disappoint the high expectations of all of us and hold the position. ”

"Hai, I promise to complete the mission, please rest assured, Your Excellency the Commander...."

Putting down the phone in his hand, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, who was frowning, slowly walked to the combat sand table. Looking at the city fortifications in the sand table at a glance, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto slowly fell into contemplation again.

At this moment, seeing the changing face of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, the chief of staff of the division, he immediately spoke: "Division commander, what happened?" ”

"Chief of Staff, I'm thinking, our opponent is too cunning?"

Seeing the incomprehensible chief of staff on his face, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto said.

"According to the report just now, the troops of the Eighth Route Army attacking our Baishan County have at least the size of one division. However, our reconnaissance planes, in front of the position, did not find any signs of large-scale troops, except for the discovery of a battalion of troops of the Eighth Route Army. Tell me, what the hell is going on, what are our opponents trying to do? ”

After listening to the division commander's account, the chief of staff didn't think about it, and blurted out. "yīn plot..."

"Nani? Yīnmou, Chief of Staff, tell me your specific reason. When he heard the word yīn, the division commander, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, frowned, and he tightened his brows, and quickly asked.

"Hai, division commander. Humble thinks,

+ The Eighth Route Army has such a strong superiority in troops, coupled with having sufficient artillery superiority. To a certain extent, if you want to seize our Baishan County, you don't need to hide your strength at all. And now, the Eighth Route Army has done just that. That can only explain one problem, behind this, there must be a huge conspiracy against our army. The chief of staff replied in the affirmative.

In an instant, the entire command immediately fell into deep thought because of the words of the chief of staff.

Finally, after a short period of contemplation, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto slowly opened his eyes and said to the chief of staff in front of him, "No matter what the Eighth Route Army has planned. As long as the various strongholds defended by my heroic Imperial Army troops can be defended to the death. If any situation occurs, report it to the division headquarters at the first time. Their plot is also impossible to achieve. ”

As he spoke, the eyes of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, the commander of the division, showed a hint of sharpness. A serious god sè once again shrouded his face.

"Chief of Staff, immediately give orders to all units under the division. All units must hold their positions and report any situation to the division and regimental headquarters immediately. ”

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the division commander is wise, and he will immediately deliver the order..."

Of course, what happened at the headquarters of the Japanese division was the commander Liu Hua, the initiator who did not think of it at all. Because, out of concern about the army's air defense consciousness, he gave the order for the whole army to cover. I couldn't have imagined that one of my orders would cause such an uproar at the headquarters of the Japanese division.

In the end, more than 10,000 Japanese troops in the entire Baishan County fell into a situation of fear and panic for the next whole afternoon.

An afternoon, in the carefree recuperation of the fighters, passed quickly. And when the soldiers were arrogant for several times above their heads, they really did not find the Japanese aircraft group that attacked the target. Because the night was approaching, he flew back to his nest helplessly.

Outside Baishan County, in a few woods where more than 20,000 soldiers were hidden, bonfires were piled up, and slowly rose as night approached. Bursts of rice and ròu incense also began to float back and forth in the middle of the camp, constantly arousing the cravings in the hearts of the soldiers.

At this moment, a regiment and a company were stationed, although, a few hours of fighting, the entire company was wounded and lost most of its troops. However, after replenishing the replenishment battalion with several dozen recruit fighters. In a row, it once again reached the state of full formation. In the entire camp, the dull atmosphere caused by the sacrifice of comrades-in-arms was slowly broken because of the arrival of new soldiers. , next to a warm bonfire, Li Shengda, who had just been appointed as the commander of a company by the regiment headquarters, and all the squad and platoon commanders. With Lee Seung-da as the center, around the campfire. The first meeting of cadres at the squad and platoon level was held since Li Shengda's promotion. Of course, there is only one topic for this meeting, that is, in the shortest possible time, let the dozens of recruits who have been added in integrate into the big family of the company and give full play to their due strength.

Seeing the silent squad leaders in front of him, Li Shengda broke the silence of the meeting and was the first to speak: "Comrades, now the proportion of veterans in our company has just accounted for a little more than one-third. And according to the commander's intentions, tonight, there will be a bloody battle waiting for us to face. Therefore, the urgent task of our delay now is to raise the combat effectiveness of the troops in the shortest possible time. Everyone talks, specifically, what should we do? ”

As soon as Li Shengda's words fell, the former squad leader, at this moment, Zhang Qingyuan, who had been promoted to a platoon leader, was the first to stand up and speak.

"Company commander, I Zhang Qingyuan have nothing to say, you are the company commander, we are all convinced. We all listen to you, what do you tell us to do, we will do? ”

Obviously, Zhang Qingyuan's words have been approved by everyone. As soon as Zhang Qingyuan's words fell, the remaining squad leaders echoed one after another. "Yes, company commander, we all listen to you, you can give orders..."

"Okay, since everyone trusts me, then I, Li Shengda, are welcome." At this moment, Li Shengda also knew that the fighter plane was fleeting. He must seize the little time he has to improve the combat effectiveness of his troops. Thinking of this, Li Shengda did not hesitate and ordered directly.

"The whole company, including me, is forty-eight veterans. In this way, in addition to the fire squad remained unchanged, three new recruits were added. Three main platoons, each platoon of ten veterans, each squad of three veterans. As for the remaining veterans, form a company headquarters index squad as the last assault force of our company. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Li Shengda continued to order.

"In the course of the battle, each veteran, with two recruits. In a word, let's train directly on the battlefield. In addition, tell those veterans that they must bring the recruits assigned to them well, so that they can grow up in the shortest possible time. How about it, do you have any questions? If there is no problem, just do it. ”

"No," several people replied in unison.

"Okay, let's finish the task of reorganizing the troops at dinner time. Then it's time to replenish your weapons and bullets, ready to take part in the battle at any time. The meeting is now adjourned...", Li Shengda ordered decisively.
