Section X

The tent was quiet, except for a few machines on the side, there were constant sounds, the sand table around the officers seemed very quiet, and everyone's eyes also fell on the stone, one by one with strange eyes to look at this extremely young company commander, after hearing Commander Zhang introduce that he had defeated a squadron of the Japanese army with a platoon of troops, everyone became interested in this young officer, and they all wanted to hear what was going on in his head.

But the next words suddenly disappointed them, thought for a while, and were silent for a while, but finally said ashamedly: "Commander, I don't know anything about the situation, and I don't know where to start." "The performance of the stone is almost unseen before them, when others hear that the regiment commander wants to listen to the opinion, one by one almost like a river, gushing endlessly, whether it makes sense or not, it is an absolute tirade, and the words that burst out in an instant are to try every means to attract the attention of the regiment commander, just kidding, if their own words can be appreciated by the regiment commander, it is really promising. But the young head in front of him, the extremely simple words, were extremely true, so real that everyone was stunned.

And the attitude of the regiment commander also surprised everyone, only to see Zhang Lingfu said calmly: "The Japanese are stationed in Luodian, with a strength of about one wing, the number of people is about 4,000, and our regiment is more than 1,400 people, and the left and right flanks of Luodian are the friendly 58th Division and the 18th Army, when waiting for the opportunity to besiege Luodian, they are also under attack by the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army. ”

Shi looked at Zhang Lingfu, looking at him like a steady mountain, his heart was strange, with the original head of Zhang, presumably there must have been a countermeasure, the 305 regiment came for ten days, won three times in a row, and directly beat the devil into Luodian, to say that he would not be able to think of a way, even if Shi's brain was broken, he couldn't believe it. But why did Head Zhang ask him again and again?

Shi believed that it was impossible for Commander Zhang to do anything unfavorable to him, which was a wonderful feeling, just like he always believed in Camp Commander Zheng, this was a trust from the bottom of his heart, perhaps because they had fought together?

Thinking of this, Shi really put all his thoughts on the current battle situation, since he knew that Commander Zhang would not harm him, it must be reasonable to do so, he can't figure out the reason at the moment, and there is no need to drill this bull's horn, according to Commander Zhang's intentions, there should be no mistake.

Shi pondered what he had heard earlier and the information that Captain Zhang had told him, and finally said after a while, "Commander, what is the mission?" ”

"Mission?" Zhang Lingfu said strangely when he heard this, and then he seemed to understand the meaning of the stone's words, and suddenly smiled: "The task given to our regiment by the division seat is to take over the defense area north of the division headquarters and prevent the Japanese from advancing the battle line to the south, as for how to fight this battle?" Where to fight? It's up to us, which means it's up to us. ”

Shi Shi let out a light "oh", and couldn't help but feel a little strange, thinking in his heart, they decided for themselves how to fight this battle, and what did the commanders of the division headquarters need to do?

However, these words would not be spoken, and he could only think for a moment before saying, "Commander, what if you ...... I said that if I were to command this regiment, I would put the defensive line in the Koyanagi River. ”

After a long time, the stone just said such a sentence, which was really shocking, but his great exploits were there, and these officers of the 305th Regiment did not dare to take any offense, seeing that the stone came to the same conclusion as the previous three battalion commanders, the lieutenant asked unwillingly: "Stone company commander, the defense line is in Xiaoliuhe, there is no threat to the Japanese invaders in Luodian, and there is also no way to deal with the friendly forces on both wings, if the Japanese invaders send troops to attack again, we can only defend passively, if the enemy is strong." , occupy the north of the Xiaoliu River in one fell swoop, and with the strength of our army, it is also difficult to cross the river to defeat the enemy army. ”

Shi Shi at this time can be regarded as really putting his body and mind in such an environment, the previous thinking obviously also took into account such a situation, hearing that this lieutenant staff officer wanted to mention the defense line to the southern suburbs of Luodian, he palpitated to think of the several bloody battles encountered after they rescued Luodian by Xiaoshandong.

It was a defensive battle in the southern suburbs of Luodian, the planes hovering in the sky, constantly throwing down cannonballs, with the cannons that could not be seen in the distance, completely turning their positions into purgatory on earth, a dazzling fire rose into the sky, and the plume of smoke after the explosion was as prosperous as a crown, continuous like clouds, overwhelming the sky, and in this fierce attack that almost destroyed the heavens and the earth, he, like all the brothers of the third company, could only hold his head and shrink in the trench, praying that the cannonballs would not fall overhead, and occasionally heard the miserable howls from all around, It also makes them helpless, and in such a terrorist attack, the casualties can only fend for themselves......

As the terrifying scenes in his mind emerged, Shi Shi whispered: "The position in the southern suburbs of Luodian has long been destroyed, and it can't be defended if you go. ”

"What?" When a captain officer heard Shishi's words, he raised his voice in vain and asked: "Company Commander Shi, although the devil is fierce, don't let others have the ambition to destroy his own prestige, how can we Chinese men be inferior to those Oriental robbers?" Even if there is no position, how can they lose to them in a face-to-face fight with bayonets? ”

Shi thought of the bloody battles, thought of the Japanese army's twilight offensive in the morning and evening, and said directly without any confidence: "The devil has airplanes, there are heavy artillery, the land in the southern suburbs is light and soft, no matter how deep the trench is dug, the shells fall, the whole piece of dirt is lifted away, the trenches are destroyed, most of the people were buried alive by the mud before the devils rushed up, there is no resistance at all, the power of those shells is too great, each crater is twenty or thirty steps in size, And it's dense like raindrops, and after a few battles like this, no matter how many of us have it, we will run out. ”

The officers of the 305th Regiment had not experienced that kind of bloody battle, not even the bombing of airplanes, and the battle with the devil was only in three or four small-scale contacts, and now when they heard the stone describing such a terrifying picture, they couldn't help but have some doubts, wondering if the stone was exaggerating a little, and wondering if the kid in front of him was really an idiot? How can you say that the enemy is strong in front of the top of the regiment like this? Isn't that just a sign of your own cowardice?

Zhang Lingfu also spoke at this time, he nodded, began to pace in the sand table, and then slowly, in a deep voice: "I have experienced the battles that the stone company commander said, at that time I was in the third company to supervise the battle, and fought with them in the southern suburbs of the guard battle, Luodian's counteroffensive battle and the north Xiaoluo Mountain blocking battle, the stone is very right, every attack of the Japanese army is led by aircraft artillery, and then there is an endless wave array, there is no solid fortification cast of steel and concrete, and it cannot withstand the bombardment of artillery at all, The overwhelming shells fell, almost flattening the entire mountain! ”

Listening to Regiment Commander Zhang's voice, how could these officers not understand his thoughts? These people are not idiots who have lost their memories like stones, and who can get to their position is not a human spirit? It was only now that they figured out what kind of thoughts this silent regiment leader was, although he didn't say anything now, but the previous few words were already clear.

Several majors immediately said: "Tuanza, since the fortifications in the southern suburbs of Luodian have been destroyed, and it is time-consuming and laborious for us to rush forward, and the danger is also great, it is better to stabilize the defense line in the area of the Xiaoliu River as the third battalion commander and the stone company commander said, rely on the river water as a battle, and block the bridge deck with heavy machine guns. ”

The lieutenant staff officer, who had been very active, also said in a low voice: "Since the devil's artillery is really so powerful, don't risk it for the time being." ”

Listening to the words of these officers, Shi Shi said: "Sticking to the Xiaoliu River is not very stable, and the north bank can't let the devils come and go when they want, so it is indeed a complete deal of passive beating, and it is really like what the staff officer said, once the devil's troops are sufficient, this open area in the southern suburbs of Luodian will be completely lost." ”

Seeing that the stone had different ideas from ordinary people in such a situation, Zhang Lingfu was quite surprised, and asked with a smile: "Oh, what else does the stone think?" Tell me about it? Now it's just a discussion, more ideas, and some open up some ideas. ”

Shi nodded and said: "You can divide a team to the north shore, on the one hand, to intercept the reconnaissance of the Japanese army, on the other hand, if the devil comes out, he can also snipe the situation, delay the advance speed of the devil, and delay enough time for our response here." ”

A few officers originally wanted to refute the stone, and the men and horses of the squad went to entangle with the scouts of the devils, wouldn't that be sending them to death? Sending individual soldiers to combat ability, in terms of the cooperation of the group, they really have no advantage at all, but seeing the head of the regiment Zhang nodding on the side, they swallowed their stomachs when they came to their mouths, and they figured out the thoughts of the regiment commander one by one.

Zhang Lingfu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Today's discussion is like this for the time being, Battalion Commander Lu, send a company to the north bank, find a good place to establish a position, and tell the company commander that the devils are coming, and they don't need to fight to the death and not retreat, and if they can't fight, they will retreat." ”

Lu Xingli on the side responded, and immediately turned to leave, and the other officers also left after standing up and saluting, and the stone originally wanted to leave, so he went back and thought about Commander Zhang's intentions, but he heard Zhang Lingfu shouting: "Stone, from now on, you will temporarily replace my guard squad leader." ”
