In the second half of the night, the second battalion that ambushed the reinforcements from Pingyuan County, the devil, returned.

The cafeteria has long prepared meals for them, rice, canned Japanese beef stewed with cabbage.

It's just that the fighters are not in a high mood, and when they pick up chopsticks, they are also bored to eat, and few people speak.

Tonight's battle was not a good one, and seventeen soldiers were killed.

In fact, if you look at the results of the battle, it can be said that tonight can be said to be a complete victory, although there is no complete annihilation of the devils who rushed to reinforce Pingyuan County, but more than 200 people were killed and wounded.

Again, there is no harm if there is no comparison, especially those veterans who have been fighting with Xie Tian, and the glorious record of zero battle damage several times has been deeply rooted in their minds.

Although there were casualties in the battle of Dagu Town under Xie Tian's command today, they were facing an enemy that was eight times their size and had heavy equipment.

Grab enemy tanks and crush enemies with enemy tanks.

The battle was fought in a lively manner.

Looking at tonight's battle, it was still an ambush battle, the ratio to the enemy was basically 1:1, and the weapons and equipment were superior to the enemy, and as a result, seventeen soldiers were sacrificed, and more than thirty people were wounded.

Can the warriors feel comfortable?

Guo Kaiming, the commander of the first company of the second battalion, finally couldn't help but complain to Xie Tian: "Regiment commander, I want to apply for transfer from the second battalion, and I can be transferred anywhere." ”

Xie Tianbang slapped the table and stood up and broke out: "What the hell are you complaining, this battle is fought like this even if Lao Tzu personally commands it, there is only one round of sneak attacks, we can hide at night, and the devil is also good to hide." Give Lao Tzu a fucking meal, hurry up and rest after eating, and the devil will arrive at dawn in the morning, and you can't guarantee that you can survive a few Lao Tzu, eat, and roll the calves after eating. ”

As a result, they were scolded by Xie Tian, and the hearts of the soldiers were a little more comfortable.

It turns out that tonight's battle would have been fought like this if the regiment commander had commanded it.

It seems that this result is not bad, and according to the proportion, one for ten is always there.

After scolding, Xie Tian brushed his sleeves and left.

It's distressing, the seventeen fighters are gone, and he wants to beat Wu Wenhua.

There's nothing wrong with you being ambushed like this, but your style of play is wrong.

When you can use long-range attacks, you will never expose your fighters to enemy fire, and it is fair to fight hard-fought battles, but we can't afford to lose.

But these words could not be said in front of the soldiers, only behind their backs.

Besides, changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers, besides, Wu Wenhua fought well, why should he change?

It's just a little bit worse than him, a bit of a dogma.

Battles are not fought like that, and any means can be used to win.

Xie Tian knew that Wu Wenhua would definitely find him alone, and he would have a good chat with Wu Wenhua when the time came.

Not to mention that Xie Tian has been fighting so much here for a day, making such a big noise, not to mention ten miles and eight towns, now even Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second Theater of Operations, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army know about it.

Each has its own news channels, whether it is a flying pigeon to pass a book, or an eight-hundred-mile rush, in short, the news has been delivered.

As an aside, the means of transmitting messages by various countries and armies in the early and middle stages of World War II can be described as varied.

Taking the Chinese battlefield as an example, the radio is of course the most convenient means of transmitting information, but the radio in this era is not only cumbersome, but also the function is not satisfactory, the most commonly used 94 type radio signal transmission range of the Japanese army is only 10 kilometers, and it can only be equipped to the wing level.

The Nationalist Army and the Eighth Route Army were even more scarce, and the Nationalist Army was equipped to the regimental level, while the Eighth Route was only equipped to the division level, and it was not until the Nationalist Government established a radio factory in Wuhan that the situation improved.

In addition to radio, the most commonly used means of communication is the war telephone, that is, the corded telephone.

Wherever the troops go, the telephone lines will follow, and there will also be switches for multi-point connections, and if the battle line is too long, it will be difficult to ensure the smooth flow of the line.

In addition to these electronic devices, other common ways to transmit messages are signal flags and signal lights, including signal trees and chicken feather letters that we have seen in movies.

In addition, there is a very primitive way of transmitting information, and that is the flying pigeon book.

The Japanese army even equipped special soldiers to raise and carry these carrier pigeons, creating an easy-to-carry mobile pigeon loft, and the Japanese carrier pigeons even had military registration, and after death, they had to be buried according to the standard of the death of soldiers.

Now even the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which is thousands of miles away, has learned the information about the battle in Dagu Town, and they don't know what means they used to transmit the news.

Far away, it was already midnight when Li Yunlong received a call from the brigade commander, and the brigade commander scolded: "Damn Li Yunlong, why didn't you report to Lao Tzu when you organized such a big battle, do you still have Lao Tzu as a brigade commander in your eyes?" ”

Li Yunlong was stunned by the brigade commander, and finally waited for the brigade commander to scold enough, Li Yunlong said carefully: "Brigade commander, are you mistaken, in the past two days, our independent regiment has made a small fight with the third battalion and destroyed a turret in Pingyin, only more than 60 devils, and nothing has been seized, this little thing will not even alarm you, right?" ”

"You don't pretend to be confused with Lao Tzu, did you fight this battle in Dagu Town? Wow, you ate a whole wing of devils, and you still told me that it was a small fight? ”

Li Yunlong's expression changed: "Brigade commander, of course I am willing to do this thing of putting gold on my face, but this battle is really not fought by me, I don't have the courage to touch a wing of devils with such a small number of troops." Brigadier, where did you get this news from? Mistaken, right? ”

Brigade Commander Chen on the other end of the phone was also confused: "You don't have to talk to Lao Tzu, you kid even dares to fight Ping'an County, and it will not be surprising at all to fight a ghost with a wing Lao Tzu." Isn't Dagu Town in your territory, who else can fight this battle if you don't fight it? Even the head of the headquarters knows that Lao Tzu is still in the dark, and you kid has done a thorough job of secrecy. And Zhao Gang, such a big military operation dared to conceal it and not report it, I think you two have eaten leopard gall. ”

Li Yunlong was taken aback, even the head of the headquarters knew about it, and it seemed that the news would not be fake.

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang beside him, and said cautiously: "Conscience of heaven and earth, brigade commander, this battle is really not fought by us, could it be fought by other troops, without informing us?" ”

Hearing Li Yunlong's repeated denials, Brigade Commander Chen also believed that this battle was not done by Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment, he squinted his eyes and held the phone and pondered for a moment: "End the battle in a few hours, eat a whole wing of devils, there are only a handful of teams with such strength in the northwest of Shanxi." ”

The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth twitched a few times, and he hesitated and said, "Brigade commander, there is a team stationed in Dagu Town, but this battle will definitely not be fought by them." ”

Brigade Commander Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Which team is stationed in Dagu Town?" Not ours? ”

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang, and said with a little weakness into the microphone: "It's Xie Baoqing's team." ”
