"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, my subordinates think that the Chinese army's firepower is very strong, but it cannot last long. I plan not to confront them head-on, put them at a distance of about one hundred meters from the city wall before attacking them, and then send an army out of the city to detour here, take down this commanding heights again and destroy the Chinese army's artillery positions!"

"Well, see Major Tian, ​​your idea is good and you can implement it!" Gangmura Yanji nodded with satisfaction.

"Please give orders from the Chief of Staff of Gang Village!"

"No, no, before I came, I promised Lord Koiki Akira to not interfere with the command of the front line commander. You will be the one who will give this order!" Kaangmura Niji quickly shook his hand and said, "I'll go to the front wall to take a look!"

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the city wall is very dangerous, the Chinese people's shells are..." Seeing Tian Xisan hurriedly persuaded him.

"It's okay, as an emperor, don't you even have the courage to go to the front line?" said Kaangmura Yasuji.

"Let's go, follow me to the city wall!" Gangcun waved his hand and walked out of the command center with his adjutant and a small team of Japanese soldiers.

"Master?"

"Hurry and send a small team to protect the Chief of Staff. You must ensure the safety of the Chief of Staff. If something happens to the Chief of Staff, don't come back!" Seeing that Grandma Tian called a second lieutenant, he ordered sternly!

"Hay." The second lieutenant took the order helplessly. In the army, he had no choice but to obey the orders of his superiors.

Outside Baodian City, the 212th Highland, the command headquarters of the 1st brigade of the 1st brigade is located here, less than three kilometers away from Baodian City. If it is a mountain cannon, the shells can be shot directly from Baodian City.

Unfortunately, the maximum range of Japanese infantry artillery in Baodian City is only 2,800 meters, which is not reachable for such a long distance. Moreover, if you want to hit the 212 high ground, you have to launch it at an elevation angle, so the distance you can shoot out is even smaller.

The equipment of the 1st Brigade of Education was basically the same as that of the Japanese army, and its firepower was slightly strengthened. As long as it had light and heavy machine gun equipment, it was more than that of the Japanese army on average.

The Japanese army also had infantry artillery and equipped four gates, two of which were originally equipped. There were two gates later transferred reinforcements.

The first brigade has three regiments, one infantry artillery battalion, twelve infantry cannons, and two mountain cannons. The firepower is far greater than that of the Japanese army, and the mountain cannons have a longer range and stronger firepower. However, due to the amount of shells, under normal circumstances, neither of these two mountain cannons will be used!

The strongest artillery unit of the East Column was the artillery brigade. In addition to equipped with various mountain cannons and field cannons, that brigade also had forty German rapid-fire cannons, which made great contributions in the defense of Benxi, and destroyed the Japanese two fortress heavy artillery.

Of course, because there are not many shells and I dare not use them easily, so if you want to truly exert the powerful combat effectiveness of these cannons, there is only one way to develop corresponding shells!

As long as the shell tube is enough, these advanced artillery can make the enemy cry and howl and be completely buried!

"The Japanese are very smart. They know how to shrink the defense line and don't fight us head-on!" Zhang Yihu said in the semi-underground bunker command center built to observe the battlefield while observing the battlefield.

"The total strength of the Japanese in Baodian is about 1,000. There are many light and heavy weapons, and their combat power is not weak. It is not easy to defend the city and try to chew it down!" Chief of Staff Li Yi said.

"Our purpose is not to capture Baodian. Of course, it is best to capture Baodian." Zhou Yubin said.

"How is Li Haiqing preparing?"

"Li Haiqing transferred a regiment of troops from Fuyu in the name of replacing defense, and combined with the original Songyuan troops, he gathered 3,000 people!"

"Where is Fuyu's defense?"

"Zhou Baosheng's cavalry brigade moved from Wukeshu to Fuyu, giving the Japanese army an illusion that we were going to take Baodian completely!"

"We must be careful of the Japanese army in Halamaodu. They are too close to us. After Li Haiqing attacked Baicheng, Songyuan would be empty. Be careful of the Japanese army's sneak attack!" Zhou Yubin said.

"Send a company to monitor the Japanese army in Haramaodu, and report it immediately whenever there is any action!" Zhang Yihu ordered.

"good!"

"Order the troops not to contact the Japanese army, shoot and kill them one hundred meters away. Our purpose is to consume their vital strength!" Zhang Yihu ordered.

"This order is good, the Japanese should go crazy!" Li Yi laughed.

"I just want to tell the Japanese that we are here to train soldiers and use the Japanese living people to train soldiers!" Zhang Yihu said murderously, losing the mission of attacking Baicheng at night. Although he understood the reason and knew that the overall situation was the most important, he was always unhappy, and the anger naturally spread on the Japanese!

"Report, the Japanese came from the 354th Highland!"

"Oh, the Japanese want to regain the 354 Highland!"

"We just occupied it, and the artillery is in a high position. It would be strange if the Japanese are not in a hurry!" The chief of staff pointed at the sand table.

"The artillery soldiers have weak combat power, who can defend the 354 highland?"

"It's a regiment and a battalion!"

"Then don't worry, if one regiment and one battalion can't defend the 354th high ground, then no one can go up!" Li Yi smiled.

"What's special about the one regiment and one battalion?"

"Yubin, you just came here. I don't know that this regiment was brought out by our brigade commander, and this regiment's first battalion is the sharp knife unit of our brigade. The regiment commander Zhao Ying was originally the battalion commander of this 1 battalion, and the current battalion commander was brought out by him. That is the unit that has caused the direct team to suffer losses!" Li Yi explained with a smile.

"So that's the case, then this army is really powerful!" Zhou Yubin said.

The 354th Heights, the first regiment and the first battalion had been waiting for the Japanese for a long time. They knew from the touch that they knocked off a small team guarding the 354 Heights, which was a commanding height. If the Japanese wanted to guard Baodian, they could not give up this place!

Therefore, there will definitely be a war here, and the battalion commander Dong Tianhu is very clear about this.

This was his first battle as the battalion commander of the first battalion, so in addition to being nervous, there was also a hint of excitement!

The excitement of being the frontline commander for the first time!

"Battery Commander. The Japanese are coming!"

Dong Tianhu looked down through the telescope. Sure enough, he saw the ghost leaning down, lowering his head, and touching the line of soldiers halfway up the mountain!

Due to the blocking of rocks and plants, the blocking of sight of the position is not ideal. Of course, the first battalion still has a condescending advantage. It is too difficult for the Japanese army to break through. There is a light machine gun every ten meters and a heavy machine gun every thirty meters. With such powerful firepower, even if the Japanese sweep it around, they will not even have any doors to rush to the top of the mountain in one breath!

As long as Dong Tianhu doesn't make the mistake of being hot-headed, he will stay on this mountain. Unless the Japanese use heavy artillery to bombard it, or the first battalion is exhausted from ammunition and food, it is basically a dream that the Japanese want to capture the 354 highland.

"I listen to it. Don't think that our 1st brigade is rich, but we have to save costs. Replacing three bullets with one Japanese devil is the rule set by our old battalion commander. If anyone fires a gun randomly, it will exceed the standard. I asked him to wash the smelly socks of the entire battalion for a month!" Dong Tianhu roared in a low voice!

"Battery Commander, don't worry. We are not on the battlefield in one day. Let the Japanese close to fight, know!"

"It's good to know, little bastard, fight the Japanese officers and machine gunners first!" Dong Tianhu cursed.

"Tell Dong Tianhu, let him hide half of the firepower for me, no, two-thirds of the firepower. I want him to hang on and consume the strength of the Japanese!" Just as Dong Tianhu was about to fight, the commander Zhao Ying's order came!

"What, commander, hide two-thirds of the firepower?"

"Are you too excited? Putting all the light and heavy machine guns on?" Zhao Ying's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Captain, how do you know?" Dong Tianhu's eyes turbulently. Let's see who will report it to him!

"Bastard, do you still want me to guess your thoughts?"

"We are training soldiers with the Japanese in this battle. You put all our belongings on it. Aren't you telling the Japanese that this road is not clear?" Zhao Ying said, "How else can I train soldiers?"

"Captain, don't hurt the Japanese!"

"Bastard, what do I want you to beat them? I want you to beat the Japanese so hard that they can't stop. Do you understand?" Zhao Ying said angrily.

"I can't stop?" Dong Tianhu said, "The Japanese are not a woman..."

"Bastard, you can't think of anything else in your mind. Let me tell you, if you execute the order, if you hurt the Japanese, I will knock your head!" Zhao Ying hung up the phone angrily!

"Battery Commander, what should we do?"

"Nonsense, there is an order from the top to put away the heavy machine gun, and half of the light machine gun, grandma, I don't understand what the regiment commander means, let the Japanese devils go?" Dong Tianhu scratched his head.

"Battery Commander, the regiment commander must have his own plans. We just need to fight and as long as the Japanese don't let them go up, what does his intention?"

"Yes, it's still you guys who are good at it. Why didn't I expect it!"

The official number of the first regiment is the 918th regiment, but everyone is used to it within the 1st brigade of the 1st brigade, so the 918 regiment is the first regiment!

The command of the 1st Regiment is higher than that of the brigade, and is located on the 354th Highland. On the back slope facing away from Baodian City, the artillery positions of the 1st Brigade are also deployed on the back slope.

"This kid Dong Tianhu, after fighting this battle, he will send him to the Military Academy for further study. If this continues, it is impossible to rely entirely on courage to fight!" Zhao Ying said with deep emotion.

"Yes, we are also driving the ducks on the shelves. When we command a battalion, it's quite a bit of a hard time now!" Yu Jie, the deputy governor of the regiment, sighed quite a bit.

"It is urgent to improve the quality of our grassroots officers. No wonder Mr. Lu wants to set up a command academy and let us enter the study. This study is too necessary. Otherwise, after the above order, we don't know what's going on!" Zhao Ying said.

"Dong Tianhu is brave enough to fight, which is what I value the most. Grassroots commanders cannot win a battle if they are not brave enough, but sometimes they don't pay attention to strategies and relying on courage alone is not enough!" Yu Jie said.

"Well, when I was facing the Japanese, I ordered the shooting within 30 meters. This kid dared to let the Japanese close to ten meters. He was so brave!" Zhao Ying said with a headache when he talked about his beloved general!

"Fortunately, the first battalion is full of veterans. If it is a new recruit, you can't do this!" Yu Jie nodded!
Chapter completed!
