Wu Mujun really suffered a major injury this time: the factory was seriously damaged, the power plant and the raw material plant were seriously damaged, and other arsenals were not seriously damaged due to the terrain, but their production was reduced or stopped due to the damage to the power plant, not to mention other factories, and the weapons and ammunition of the troops were seriously depleted, especially explosives, mines, flying mines, and artillery shells.

On Tuesday, the dog couldn't stay idle, and arranged for Zhao Dahu to hurry up and reorganize the troops, and try to replenish the troops, equipment, and ammunition; Zeng Qi assisted Shu Jintang in rectifying military production and supplying troops in a timely manner; Ouyang Cheng rectified the air defense force and repaired the fragmented air defense network; He Laifu deployed various mobile brigades with small losses to make up for the shortcomings of defense in various places; The guerrilla areas did not suffer much losses, and they actively strengthened their garrisons and resettled, sorted, and transported supplies......

The most important of these is the resumption of production. First, the limited power supply was used for the production of explosives and flying mines, so as to make up for the heavy firepower of the troops in a timely manner, followed by the restoration of power plants and raw material factories, and then the installation and commissioning of the captured arsenal equipment and the production of artillery shells.

With the completion of the unit's training, on Tuesday, the mobile brigades under the Dog Order Mobile Command returned to the original ** unit to continue exchange activities. Tuesday Dog is a man of his word, and Wu Mujun is a man of his word! What's more, there are also large sums of money!

After arriving at the Third Theater, in accordance with the requirements of the Third Theater Commander's Department, the maps of each department were divided into categories and designed defensive tactics according to the jurisdiction, terrain, and number of troops. In fact, it is nothing more than the flooded highway to block the enemy, the bamboo stick mine array to block the enemy, the formation of the blocking position, the preset of ambush positions, the predetermined outflanking and infiltration routes, and the mutual support and liaison between the various units.

After the defense deployment is set, it is issued to all units and districts for implementation. After that, Wan Zixiong sent his subordinate squadrons and detachments to inspect, supplement, and correct in various jurisdictions.

Gu Zhutong treated Wan Zixiong like a guest and obeyed his words. However, Gu Zhutong was powerless to deal with many issues: there were many factions of officers in various units, and they did not belong to each other; The defensive arrangements were not implemented in place, but the superior officers were helpless; The defensive deployment was plausible, and the officers of the unit were in charge of their errands; The officers were unmotivated and undisciplined......

On the other hand, he said that no matter what, after Wan Zixiong's guidance, the defense capability of the Third Theater has improved by a little bit, and he asked him to give guidance on the next offensive operation.

Therefore, Wan Zixiong continued to cook the sandwich rice, and talked about the pre-war preparations for the offensive war, marching to meet the enemy, infiltrating in advance, breaking the outer defenses, and luring the enemy to attack.

On the issue of attacking and harassing behind enemy lines, Wan Zixiong's strong point is to change road signs, bomb warehouses, attack headquarters, repair shops, health teams, and rear hospitals......

Many officers in the Third Theater did not think much of Wan Zixiong's guidance, especially those with formal military education, who regarded Wu Mujun's tactics as a trick of chickens and dogs.

Gu Zhutong was also anxious in his eyes, but Wan Zixiong didn't care, he recorded the officers who showed disbelief, and when the course was over, he called out the dozens of officers who had written down their names and proposed to confirm each other.

The first is military technology. Wan Zixiong led all the battalion, company, platoon-level officers and ** officers to compete in shooting, stabbing, bombing, crawling, leaping, rolling in, building fortifications, climbing walls, going to houses, climbing trees, climbing mountains, swimming, armed swimming, driving boats, horseback riding, and driving...... Most of the officers were ashamed of themselves, and at the beginning, some ** officers were not convinced, claiming that those games were a little trick of the soldiers, and the task of the officers was military command, and Gu Zhutong, who was watching the battle, was so angry that his face turned green!

Wan Zixiong was not in a hurry, and proposed to take out a platoon at random, and the officers organized a unit of less than 100 people by themselves, and each attacked the devil's squad-level stronghold, and tested the attack speed, casualty rate, and tactical literacy.

Gu Zhutong designated two devil strongholds, and the two sides drew lots to decide the target and started the competition.

The devils of the Liuhe Bend stronghold were embedded in a nail in the third war zone, guarding the traffic arteries, flat on all sides, with an open shooting range, and a courtyard with strong walls and two artillery towers on the side of the road were connected together to form a firepower network, blocking the road.

Ma Laowu, the platoon commander of Wu Mujun, observed the surrounding terrain with a telescope, and saw that the stronghold was more than 100 meters away from the road, the weeds outside the stronghold were mottled, there should be a minefield, and 30 meters away from the stronghold wall was a 6-meter-wide trench, which attracted river water from the river 500 meters away and poured into the trench, the inner side of the trench was a spiral barbed wire, and there were shooting holes on the courtyard wall and the gun tower.

Ma Lao Wu called a few squad leaders, briefly discussed the tactics and tactics, formulated a combat plan, and prepared separately.

Ma Lao Wu sent a two-man machine gun team and a two-person sniper team to carry out fire reconnaissance. The Type 96 light machine gun has a scope, which can be used as a sniper rifle, and as soon as it comes up, it will knock out the sentries on the devil's turret, and then quickly transfer.

The devil also quickly fought back. However, Wu Mujun's machine gunner was 400 meters away, and even the devil who claimed to have accurate marksmanship could hardly hit Wu Mujun's machine gunner, so he could only return fire with a machine gun. Wu Mujun's machine-gun co-shooter carried a boat-shaped steel pot as a cover, the machine gunner hid behind the steel pot to shoot, and the sub-shooter dug a foxhole under the steel pot.

Half an hour passed, and the Wu Mujun machine gunners dug 4 foxholes at a distance of 100 meters, and still fired at the devils unhurriedly.

The devil was in a hurry and began to use mortars. The Wu Mujun machine gun crew quickly moved back, and then continued to fire at the devils. From the beginning of the gunshot, the machine gunners of the Wu Mu Army have already destroyed 4 shooting holes of the devils, that is, at least 5 devils have been killed and wounded.

Two hours have passed, and the Wu Mu army machine gunners have dug 9 foxholes, destroyed the devil's firing holes 19 times, and the devil's 2 mortars and 2 heavy machine guns have been completely exposed, and the Wu Mu army's sniper team has not yet attacked.

The devils in the stronghold were killed and wounded by 1 light machine gun, and lost more than 20 shells and nearly 1,000 rounds of ammunition, but they didn't hurt a single hair of the people. The leader of the devil squad couldn't hold his breath anymore and sent an infantry squad to rush out of the stronghold, and he must eliminate these two damn China.

The devil was very cunning, and instead of attacking from the front, he came out of the back door and quietly detoured in the direction of the Wu Mujun machine gunner. All this was seen by Ma Lao Wu and several squad leaders, and they wrote down the route of the devil's attack.

Just as the devil infantry coordinated the frontal fire to flank the Wu Mu army's machine gunners on three sides, a squad behind the Wu Mu army's machine gunners also rushed up with two steel pots, using the pre-dug foxholes and the craters blown up by the devil's mortars as cover to shoot at the devils. The two sniper crews, who had been holding back, opened fire at the same time, shooting the machine gunners of the devils, and soon killed the main and auxiliary shooters and ammunition drivers of the four devil machine guns. The devils in the turret suffered a big loss, and mobilized all 2 mortars and 2 light and heavy machine guns to shoot at the enemy in front of them, so that the Wu Mu army in front of them could not raise their heads.

The other two squads of Ma Lao Wu attacked the back door along the route where the devil came out. They used light machine guns to cover, knocked out the guard posts on the side of the devils, pasted them and used javelin thunder to blow up the back door of the stronghold, and quickly rushed into the stronghold to start a melee battle with the devils. Wu Mujun is a submachine gun, so naturally the battle will end quickly. 67 devils were killed, 2 mortars, 2 heavy machine guns and all the equipment of an infantry squad of devils were captured, which took 2 hours and 47 minutes, and 2 people were killed, 1 person was seriously wounded, and 5 people were slightly injured.

Wan Zixiong asked Gu Zhutong to send someone to take over the Liuhe Bend stronghold, rewarded Ma Lao Wupai with a mouthful of pigs and 10 bottles of wine, and ordered them to return to the building after eating and drinking.

The next Nanping stronghold should be executed by the ** officers. **The officers looked at each other, they knew that the Third War Zone had sent battalion-level troops to attack four times, but they failed to take the Nanping stronghold, so they happily admitted defeat, regardless of whether Gu Zhutong looked good on his face or not!

Wan Zixiong saw that the ** officers had admitted defeat, and without saying a word, he called Ma Lao Wu, who was full of wine and food, and ordered him to take the Nanping stronghold overnight.

The Nanping stronghold is smaller than the Liuhewan stronghold, with only one turret and a backyard, and the troops and firepower are the same as the Liuhewan stronghold.

Ma Lao Wu sent a squad to use 3 steel pots as boats, and sneaked into the trench on the periphery of the devil's stronghold along the diversion ditch; Then the other two squads launched a frontal attack, and the light machine guns, grenadiers, and submachine guns pressed the devil so that he could not raise his head; The Wu Mujun in the trenches took advantage of the chaos to throw out a large number of clay pot grenades.

After a while, there was only a sparse gunfire in the stronghold, and the soldiers in the trench easily entered the stronghold through the barbed wire entrance, and quickly took the Nanping stronghold, which took less than 40 minutes, slightly wounded 1 person, and captured exactly the same as the stronghold in Liuhewan, except that 23 devils were killed and 44 prisoners were captured - the grenade was added with soul-breaking incense.

At the meeting, Gu Zhutong announced the results of the competition with a blue face, and then asked all the officers to comment: some said that Wu Mujun was indeed brave; Some say that Wu Mujun's tactics are ingenious; Some say that Wu Mujun is well-trained; Some say that the Wumu army has strong firepower......

"Enough!" Gu Zhutong slapped the table and interrupted the review, "Listen to what Captain Wan has to say!" Gu Zhutong made a "please" gesture to Wan Zixiong respectfully.

Wan Zixiong got straight to the point: "Why did I choose these officers? Because they are distracted when we are lecturing! As you know, we soldiers are fighting for our lives, especially officers, who are responsible not only for their own lives, but also for the lives of their brothers! The combat experience of our Wumu Army is condensed with blood, and I teach you that we Chinese want to shed less blood and defeat the Japanese devils! But these officers play with our blood! Why? Because they simply don't understand what a soldier is and what an officer is! They just want to be promoted, get rich, and eat together! I dare to say that many of these people are rich, powerful and have backgrounds, they will not fight, they will only compete for fame and fortune, how can they win a war if they have such officers in the army! ”

Wan Zixiong's words were very serious, and Gu Zhutong was very unattractive on his face, so Shangguan Yunxiang stood up and played a round game, "Instructor Wan, it is reasonable, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in our third war zone have fought with devils for several years, and the brothers have also been born and died, and some of the places that are not up to me ask Instructor Wan for some advice!" "The implication is that our third war zone has fought bloodily, why should you Wan Zixiong accuse us?

"Shangguan Commander loves soldiers like sons, and he is fighting for face for you things that are not successful! However, have you fought for the captain's face? I don't deny that the face and exploits of the Third War Zone are earned by those officers and soldiers who are not afraid of death, but do you death-fearing ghosts deserve to share the honor of the Third War Zone? Are you worthy of Chief Gu and Shangguan? Is it worthy of the officers and soldiers of the 3rd theater of operations? Wan Zixiong shouted at a group of wreckers, and the other officers and soldiers began to applaud in response.

"Instructor Wan, we are also soldiers and have dignity, you can't insult us like this!" A lieutenant colonel officer stood up and shouted.

"Okay, bloody!" Wan Zixiong applauded, "However, dignity is not shouted, it is fought!" In order to give you a chance to be a soldier and a man, I will lead the team to form an officer death squad, which of you dares to participate! ”

"Me!" "Me!" "Me!" "Me!" ……

To Wan Zixiong's surprise, more than a dozen officers stood up in the officer corps.

"Okay, there are really men!" Wan Zixiong applauded, "On the orders of the commander, all officers must join the death squad to admit defeat in the competition!" Now I accept my fate, and all the officers who stand up are appointed as deputy squad leaders, I am the captain, and the squad leaders are my soldiers! ”

After Wan Zixiong's announcement, several officers fainted, and some of them refused to join the death squad even crying and making trouble, and the scene was chaotic.

Gu Zhutong stood up impatiently, and a team of military police walked in and "invited" the officers into a barracks to be supervised and trained by Wan Zixiong.

The news of the establishment of a death squad soon spread throughout the Third War Zone, and many officers deserted overnight, busily busted the Judge Advocate General's Office, and only a dozen officers were arrested. Gu Zhutong didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, and he was a little dissatisfied with Wan Zixiong's approach.

When Wan Zixiong heard the news, he came to Gu Zhutong and suggested that the troops should be notified that the soldiers should desert and engage in military law, and the officers should not be held accountable as long as they did not take away their weapons and troops.

Gu Zhutong quit: "Instructor Wan, the officers have all run away, how can I still fight?" ”

Wan Zixiong asked rhetorically: "What will be the consequences of a group of officers who are afraid of death leading the troops?" ”

Gu Zhutong was speechless. But it was still ordered to arrest the officers who had deserted and also put them into death squads. Hmph, after eating the country's military salary, you want to run when you go to war? There are no doors either!

Wan Zixiong's death squad grew several times to more than 200 people. Wan Zixiong was not angry when he saw so many ghosts who were afraid of death, and used them as recruits to train. After all, these people have a certain quality, and they are still the same thing when they are trained, so they strengthen their courage training, crawling forward 2 kilometers every day, all of which are machine guns strafing their heads, and then tactical exercises, arming, guarding, camping, marching, laying mines, building fortifications, defending, attacking, lurking, and infiltrating...... These officers were trained to the point of shedding several layers of skin, and the officers became accustomed to this kind of training, and their confidence was doubled, and they actively engaged in battle.

Gu Zhutong was also watching. During this period, many malicious slanders were reflected to the Ministry of Military Affairs and even the Military Commission, but they were all resisted by Gu Zhutong, and Wan Zixiong's training was related to the honor and even life and death of the Third War Zone, which was what Gu Zhutong cared about the most. Seeing that the death squad had improved greatly, Gu Zhutong smiled.

Wan Zixiong saw that the death squad training had achieved initial results, so he asked Gu Zhutong to let the death squad participate in the battle and try his skills!

It is also a stronghold of Willow River Bend. Wan Zixiong led more than 200 death squads to station in the Liuhe Bend stronghold, and the platoon leaders of each class of Wumu Army reached more than 300 people. After they were stationed, they immediately repaired the fortifications, arranged the defenses, and dug tunnels and anti-artillery holes in the strongholds.

The devil lost the stronghold of Liuhe Bend, and he had long wanted to regain face, and he heard that a large number of ** officers were stationed in Liuhe Bend, so he refused to let go of the opportunity, and strengthened an artillery squad of 2 Type 92 infantry guns, a machine gun squad of 4 heavy machine guns, plus 4 mortars and 4 heavy machine guns of the original heavy weapons, a total of 6 artillery pieces, 8 heavy machine guns, and more than 300 people, who came to recapture the stronghold of Liuhe Bend.

Wan Zixiong has not relaxed his surveillance of the Qiqihe stronghold since he was stationed in Liuhe Bend. Originally, if the devils of the Qiqi River did not come to attack, Wan Zixiong would also tease the devils of the Qixia River, and the devils actually sent them to the door by themselves!

There is a small bridge 1000 meters away from the stronghold of Liuhe Bend. Wan Zixiong ordered two platoons to attack and block the devils at the small bridge. The two platoons of the death squad went out to the small bridge, regardless of 3721, they built a dam with wooden piles, reeds, straw, stones, and mud in the downstream of the small bridge, and then withdrew to Liuhe Bend

On the other side of the road from the stronghold, the fortifications continued despite fatigue.

The river was blocked, and naturally overflowed the riverbed, flooding the small bridge and the dirt road on both sides, turning it into a muddy pond. The devil had to slow down his march and make his way through the muddy pool.

As soon as the devil infantry came over in a small group, the death squad outside the stronghold rushed up to a platoon, and light machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns fired in a burst, killing and wounding more than a dozen devils.

The devils on the other side of the mud pond hurriedly set up machine guns to provide fire support, and the death squad withdrew to their positions and formed crossfire with the heavy machine guns in the turret, killing and injuring the devils from afar.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the devils braved the fire of the people to cross the muddy pond, and more than 30 people were already injured. When constructing the starting position for the attack, 3 light machine gunners and 2 grenadiers were knocked out by the snipers of the death squad.

Wan Zixiong observed with a telescope and found that the devils were actually dispatched, so the devils left behind in the Qichaohe stronghold would not exceed two squads, so he sent two more platoons to attack the Qichaohe stronghold by detour, and Liuhe Bend was responsible for entangling the main force of the devils, so he gave the devil's artillery and heavy machine guns a chance to attack and prevent them from returning to the Qichaohe stronghold.

The devil is also well-trained, and the heavy weapons cross the muddy pond in batches, and when a heavy weapon comes over, it immediately enters the combat state, and the heavy weapons behind cover each other, not giving the death squad a chance to attack half-crossing, and the death squad watches from a distance as the devil crosses the river, and the death squad outside the stronghold at Liuhe Bend

Stepping up the excavation of anti-artillery holes, the instructors also explained the remarkable points of the devil's combat organization while deploying the battle plan.

After the devils were ready, the shelling began. The death squad calmly hid in the anti-artillery hole and waited for the devil's shelling to end.

As soon as the devil's shelling ended, the death squad drilled out of the anti-artillery hole, threw the grenades that had been prepared long ago at the nearby devils, and then the light machine guns hit the devils' light machine guns, the riflemen hit the devil's grenadiers, and the submachine guns strafed the devil's infantry, and soon disabled the devils who attacked in the first wave, but the second wave of devils rushed up again. No problem, still play according to the program. The third wave was still concocted in the same way.

More than half of the devil's infantry were damaged, but the devil's artillery fire and heavy machine guns were very fierce, so that the death squad lay in the bunker and did not dare to raise their heads.

Wan Zixiong watched from the collapsed turret, saw black smoke floating in the direction of the Qixia River in the distance, and knew that the Qixia River stronghold had been captured.

Liuhe Liuhe Bay battlefield. Waiting for the devil to attack again, Wan Zixiong delayed issuing an order to return fire until the devil attacked 50 meters to the forward position, Wan Zixiong ordered to blow the trumpet of the charge, and the entire death squad hesitated for a moment before throwing out a grenade, holding a gun and shooting while launching a counter-charge.

The two sides fell into a scuffle, the devil's artillery and heavy machine guns lost their effect, and the fire of the death squad was on the turret, which could condescendingly exert its firepower and hit the devil's artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions.

After the two platoons of the Qiqi River occupied the stronghold, they split up a platoon and killed the devil's buttocks. The devil couldn't hold it anymore and retreated to the lower reaches of the creek.

The death squads pursued until the devil threw down all his heavy weapons.

In this battle, the death squad killed 19 people, seriously wounded 27 people, slightly wounded 61 people, killed 132 devils, captured 6 artillery pieces, 8 heavy machine guns, and a number of other light weapons.

Gu Zhutong was overjoyed when he saw this group of officers who had been reborn after the phoenix nirvana, and ordered each officer to be promoted by one level and sent back to the original unit, and Wan Zixiong was also promoted to the rank of major general, and the overall fighting will of the third theater was greatly improved.

After receiving Gu Zhutong's report, the chairman of the committee said sourly: Niang Xipi, this Wu Mujun can really fight!
