Chapter 1 o8: Kill without attacking (Part 2)

"Military throne, the 40th Army sent a reinforced heavy machine gun battalion, which has been deployed to the defense line in the small grove to the east of our army. The 40th Army obviously cannot trust our 47th Army..." Luo Zezhou rushed to the headquarters of the 47th Army like a gust of wind and reported to Li Jiajue.

Luo Zezhou has no other skills, but he is better at pretending to be like him. But it depends on the situation. The Battle of Western Shandong is the critical moment. How could Li Jiajue have a quarrel with Zeng Yiyang? Even if he wants to be dissatisfied with Zeng Yiyang, he still has to give him a reason, right?

"What nonsense?" Li Jiajue was eating, and the dried corn steamed buns were soaked that his throat hurt, which aroused his dissatisfaction with Luo Zezhou: "In North China, who dares to say that he can lead troops than Chief Zeng, and can fight? Chief Zeng arranged the elite troops of the 40th Army around our headquarters, and must have seen the motives of the Japanese army. What do you know?"

Li Jiajue's admiration for Zeng Yiyang is a bit like a kind of awe of students for their teachers.

Li Jiajue could not bear Luo Zezhou's doubts about Zeng Yiyang, and it had a strong sense of maintenance.

As soon as the War of Resistance Against Japan, almost all of the only great victory was related to Zeng Yiyang. From the command of small troops to the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, Zeng Yiyang showed super high military talents. In particular, Zeng Yiyang was only in his twenties and in his prime.

On the contrary, Luo Zezhou's reputation in the Sichuan Army was not very good, and this started with the confused thing he did more than ten years ago.

In 25 years, after Yangsen fell, Sichuan Ping did not gain peace. Instead, the struggles between various forces within the Sichuan Army became increasingly fierce. Luo Zezhou, as a powerful figure in Li Jiajue's army, was naturally appointed as the commander of the 11th Division of the Sichuan Army. As the territory grew larger and larger, he occupied 7 counties including Guang'an, Peng'an, and Yingshan, and became arrogant.

After moving his old nest from Guang'an to Shunqing, he stuffed fermented tofu into his head. With only one division, he dared to support his troops and even called himself "King of Shunqing" and named his wife and concubines as princesses.

It is said that Liu Zhi is confused, but fortunately, he is lucky and can stand tall in the *** world like an evergreen tree.

But Luo Zezhou did not have such good luck and his ability was even worse.

From the fact that he proclaimed himself as a prince, everyone around Luo Zezhou saw that this man with a high attitude and low power was a very ambitious person. He only had one division under his command, less than 15,000 people, so he dared to become the "king" himself! If there was an army of more than 100,000 people, would he want to be the emperor?

No one knows Luo Zezhou’s true thoughts, and no one wants to think about this issue.

Because Luo Zezhou's military career has almost reached its end. Although after the War of Resistance Against Japan, when Li Jiajue's troops went to North China, he also gained the position of deputy commander of the 47th Army, Li Jiajue did not dare to lead troops for him. Therefore, Luo Zezhou's position in the 47th Army was very embarrassing.

When he was fine, Luo Zezhou also thought that the combat effectiveness of the 47th Army was getting stronger and stronger. If there were several exciting victory games, Li Jiajue's position would never be the commander of the 47th Army and the commander of the army, and the high position of the commander of the group army, was within reach.

At that time, it would be a bit unreasonable to be the "ten thousand-year-old second" who wants no soldiers and has no money, so Luo Zezhou jumped up and down during this period, blindly trying to show himself.

Usually, when there is no war, the logistics department will pretend to be the older generation.

After a while, many people were gathered together, but they were not people from key departments. There were only a hundred or so people in the entire 47th Army who could listen to him. If Luo Zezhou was a company commander, the number of people would be a small achievement, but he was the deputy commander, with two shining stars under his neck and a loud Lieutenant General of the ***, which seemed particularly frightening. But Luo Zezhou didn't care. When the cannon fired, it would be ten thousand taels of gold. Since he had no military power, he couldn't let him suffer poverty!

As a result, my hands and feet were a little unclear in private.

For the sake of his fellow countrymen, Li Jiajue asked him to make trouble. However, today, Luo Zezhou was a bit too far. Zeng Yiyang, as the commander-in-chief of the battle, was Li Jiajue's immediate superior. However, he invested a reinforced battalion's troops in the position beside the 47th Army. Is it worth shouting?

Even if the 40th Army hid behind the 47th Army and asked the 47th Army to fight the Japanese to the death, Zeng Yiyang himself would be unable to blame.

Zeng Yiyang is extremely righteous, of course, this is Li Jiajue's general description of Zeng Yiyang. He took the most critical and most difficult battle in the entire battle on the 40th Army. The 47th Army was just shaking the flag and shouting, even if the troops below fired.

The bloody officers and soldiers of the 47th Army were hard to solve with the Japanese, and they were also the duty of the 47th Army from Li Jiajue.

Li Jiajue lost interest in continuing to talk with Luo Zezhou, so he raised his head and asked Luo Zezhou, "Is there anything else?"

Luo Zezhou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Military, this is a big deal!"

"If it's okay, you can leave." Li Jiajue knew what Luo Zezhou wanted to say, but no one with a little brain would believe that Zeng Yiyang would attack Li Jiajue and the 47th Army.

However, Li Jiajue was a little curious about what kind of troops actually made Luo Zezhou so excited. He stuffed the half-pig head in his hand into his mouth. After half a bowl of boiling water, he felt that his chest was not blocked.

I stood up and walked slowly for a few steps, and couldn't help but lead the people towards the grove position.

When Li Jiajue's guard company commander saw him, he led a platoon of soldiers and followed Li Jiajue with his horse. The sky was getting dark, but fortunately there was a wilderness around him, and he could still rush to the road with the faint moonlight.

Generally speaking, Li Jiajue likes to ride a horse because he is short and can look taller when riding a horse. But this is a battlefield, and the target of riding a horse is huge.

"Correction——, if you don't say it, just shoot." I heard the sound of pulling the bolt in the dark, but Li Jiajue clearly felt that this was not a rifle, but a very rare flower mechanism in the Sichuan army.

"Brothers of the 40th Army, we are from the Sichuan Army and are here to express our condolences." The guard company commander had a good attitude and came forward to talk.

However, the guard raised his arms and wanted to raise his hand behind him. A man immediately ran to the position from the darkness. Seeing this scene, Li Jiajue was immediately envious of Zeng Yiyang's 40th Army, whose military qualities had reached an unparalleled bottom.

The gestures are not surprising. A large number of soldiers in the Sichuan Army are brothers, and they are inevitably slanderous. Many of the rules on the Tao are expressed by hands, and Li Jiajue also sees a lot. The key is that the attention of the soldier behind the guard made Li Jiajue sigh, this is the elite soldier!

The person who came was Zhang Jihai, the third company commander of the heavy machine gun battalion, and said in a rude tone: "This is a position, no one can get close without orders, so go back."

Zhang Jihai waved his hand, as if he wanted to coax people, which angered the guards around Li Jiajue.

Hey——— Zhang Jihai turned his body back with his hard turn. When he turned around, the two Venus stars emitted a strange light even in the dark. He walked to Li Jiajue and saluted: "Chief is Commander Li?"

"It's right here, how did you know me?"

The guards around Li Jiajue were nervous. There were not many people in the 40th Army who knew Li Jiajue, let alone when the light was not sufficient.

"Captain Li, a few months ago, I met Commander Li at Fenglingdu, the Yellow River, but Commander Li may not remember it." Zhang Jihai's memory is amazing, especially those who have seen him, and he can remember it with a glance. Especially senior officers.

This is also the fact that Zhang Jihai was defeated from the Northeast Army and was recruited by the 40th Army in Rehe and entered the ** regiment. Later, he entered the study class and gradually became a very special company-level cadre of the 40th Army, relying on extraordinary eyesight.

"Captain Li, please wait, I'll report to our battalion commander." Zhang Jihai's words made Li Jiajue's face look much better.

Although Li Jiajue is still not qualified to enter the position, at least Zhang Jihai has another meaning in his words, which is to let his regiment commander welcome him.

Now, Li Jiajue didn't care about the unhappiness at the beginning. After waiting for less than two minutes, Zhang Jihai accompanied Li Jiajue to Li Jiajue: "The Fourth Battalion of the 231st Regiment, Battalion Commander Zhang Wuqiang. Commander Li, I'm negligent, please-"

"Please--" Li Jiajue entered the position and was stunned. Zeng Yiyang was too careful!

There are almost no common rifles seen from the weapons in the hands of the soldiers at the position. On the contrary, most of the soldiers are machine gunners, and the auxiliary machine gunners and machine gunners carry turtle boxes around their waists, which is also a common weapon in the 40th Army.

But in Li Jiajue's eyes, it was a little too much. The machine gunners were equipped with pistols, which was a big deal.

Especially, when Li Jiajue saw that even the mortars were in the 40th army sent to help him defend, he muttered in his heart. Could this be the main attack direction of the Japanese army?

After all, Li Jiajue is a soldier, especially a general. On the battlefield, the easiest thing to think of is the opponent's combat deployment. Sometimes he guesses correctly, sometimes he can't guess accurately, and he can only wait for his opponent to reveal his trump card.

After walking for a while, Li Jiajue couldn't help asking: "Bail Commander Zhang, your army is well-equipped. Even as an assault force, it can easily repel a Japanese brigade. Why did Xingye come to support our defense zone?"

"I don't know this, it was the order of our army commander. If General Li has any questions, can you ask the command center?" Zhang Wuqiang's tone was unique to the soldiers. Not only did he not anger Li Jiajue, he gave the other party a friendly feeling.

After leaving the position, Li Jiajue kept thinking, what was the reason why Zeng Yiyang did this?

It is likely Zeng Yiyang's guess, but Li Jiajue was also surprised that he had laid a regiment of troops on this narrow defense line.

Zeng Yiyang's approach puzzled Li Jiajue. Li Jiajue also speculated that Zeng Yiyang's approach may be just suspicion. After all, the Japanese army did not attack and the battlefield was still very variable. After Li Jiajue returned to the command center, he became more and more worried. He picked up the phone and ordered the 104th Division, the division commander Li Qingting: "Let Wu Changlin's regiment be stationed on the right side of the Shulin. Once the Japanese army suddenly launched an experience, immediately support the defense line in the direction of Shulin."

"Brother, is the Japanese army going to break through?" Li Qingting said in confusion on the phone.

"I don't know either, but the 40th Army has arranged a reinforced battalion force in this area, such as to reinforce your defense line. Either the 40th Army's offensive defense line is in the small grove area tomorrow, or the Japanese army will break through that area." Li Jiajue said ambiguously. Then he thought about it and expressed his guess: "I guess it should be the main attack direction of the 40th Army. It is meaningless for the Japanese army to break through the small grove. Going east is the big lake, where is there a road?"

"Okay, brother, I understand." Li Qingting put down the phone and immediately threw the main force into this area.

In just less than three hours, the strength of the Central Team in the Grove Defense Line increased from one regiment to two and a half regiments.

At two o'clock in the morning, the soldiers of the 38th Japanese Army were woken up one by one, then they touched the dark, ate cold water, and compressed biscuits, preparing to prepare for their physical strength before breaking through.

At four o'clock, the Japanese army on the front line quietly touched the position of the 104th Division of the Sichuan Army, and killed the soldiers who served as the post, and the brigade of Japanese troops began to rush towards the grove position.

Li Qingting, who was lying on the marching blanket, was restless and looked at the sky tiredly, just unable to sleep.

The sparse gunfire sounds on the battlefield from time to time, which is normal. Among the guards at night, many troops would use gunfire to lure out the ambushers from the other side. However, the machine guns also sounded, which shocked Li Qingting. He hurriedly took the pistol beside his pillow into his hand, got up and ran to the watchtower of the command center.

While running, he tied the armed belt.

Suddenly, on the dark battlefield, a white fireball soared into the sky.

The night sky was illuminated, and Li Qingting secretly shouted in his heart that this was a Japanese flare. If it weren't for the large army's attack, how could the Japanese army use these weapons?

All-in-

As soon as the platoon was launched, the Japanese artillery found the heavy fire attack point of the defensive forces. When the shells fell, the strength of the regiment stationed in front of the Japanese army would immediately drop by a few%.

In the 104 command center, staff and others arrived one after another, and the entire war room became busy.

"Minister's seat, our regiment suffered heavy casualties and was almost unable to withstand it."

When Li Qingting received the call, his hands were trembling, and he was naturally angry. Even if he wanted to shoot his incompetent subordinates, he had to wait for the war to finish and say: "Ten minutes, ten minutes later, reinforcements will arrive."

Li Qingting lowered the phone with a dark face and asked a regiment to reinforce the order had been issued. He thought of one thing, but not the other. He couldn't understand why the Japanese army was not on the road and was going to rush to the lake by the lake while leaving the Japanese army.

Li Qingting had seen Shaoyang Lake and Dushan Lake, and he could not see it at first sight. Isn’t it a dead end where the Japanese rushed?

Unlike the panic of the Sichuan Army, the Japanese 38th Regiment finally began to normal after experiencing a demon.

"Secretary Commander, in another half an hour, we will be able to jump out of the siege of the Chinese team and surround it behind it." Colonel Nakazawa, chief of staff of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, watched the soldiers' offensive like waves, one wave higher than the other.

As long as you break through the last encirclement, the 16th Division can escape the encirclement of the Central *** team. You can even guide the 19th Brigade and retreat to the edge of Dushan Lake. Relying on the waterway supply line behind you, you can nail it firmly on the battlefield in western Shandong like a nail.
