Zhou Cheng doesn't think so: "I don't think so! Lao Tang, my idea is exactly the opposite of yours. I think it's easier to deal with a new deputy commander than Yuan Shushan."

"Although we already know Yuan Shushan very well, he also knows our National Salvation Army, knows the situation of our National Salvation Army, and even understands the personalities of several of us. He has developed a few confidants in the army... Even if we send people to watch 24 hours a day, there will be a loss and an accident will occur."

"The newly sent deputy commander does not have these problems."

"We don't understand him, he doesn't understand us, and he has no one in the National Salvation Army. He is alone in the family. Not only can he do nothing, but he can't move forward. Such a person must be better at following than Yuan Shushan."

"Call back to the war zone immediately. In order to facilitate communication between the war zone and the National Salvation Army, let the war zone know more about the National Salvation Army and support the National Salvation Army, we agree to the War Zone to send us a new deputy regiment commander."

"But the war zone must send at least five iron-smelting technicians to save the national army!"

After the war zone command issued the order to the National Salvation Army, the Chief of Staff stayed in the office and was anxiously waiting for the call to reply.

He also wanted to know what the National Salvation Army had towards the war zone at this moment, and he also wanted to know whether the Commander-in-Chief's judgment on Zhou Cheng was correct.

Almost an hour later, the communications officer finally appeared at the door of the office: "Report to the chief, the National Rescue Army has called us back!"

"Did they agree to send a deputy regiment commander to the National Salvation Army in the war zone?" the chief of staff asked while answering the telegram!

"Agree!" the communications consultant replied: "But they made a small request!"

"Let us send five iron-smelting technicians with the deputy regiment commander to take office in the National Rescue Army!"

This result was unexpected by the Chief of Staff.

In his plan, even if Zhou Cheng agreed to send deputy regiment commanders to the National Rescue Army to the war zone, they would make a lot of demands on the war zone, and the two sides could only discuss this matter after a lot of negotiations were held.

I never expected that Zhou Cheng would agree so quickly, not only agreed to send a deputy regiment commander to the National Rescue Army to the war zone, but also wanted to ask for a few more people.

For the war zone, the more people Zhou Cheng wants, the better, and the war zone can plant more of its own people into the National Rescue Army.

My face was immediately filled with joy. I took the telegram and quickly scanned the contents. After confirming that there was no problem, I stood up from the chair and trotted to the commander-in-chief's office...

In a new regiment base in Taihang Mountain, as the attack war approached, the three main battalions had stopped training.

The first battalion is the veritable main battalion of the regiment, equipped with more than 220 rifles, six light machine guns, ten bullets per capita, and two grenades produced by the base area themselves.

The equipment of the Second and Third Battalions was even worse. Half of the soldiers in the Second Battalion were not equipped with rifles, and only three light machine guns. The total number of rifles equipped by the Third Battalion was not eighty, and most of them were smoothed out in rifles, and there was not even one light machine gun. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as the new recruits.

This bad situation improved three days ago.

After Commander Tang brought back the weapons and ammunition allocated by the district, he dispatched troops that night, so that everyone would familiarize themselves with their new equipment before the raid battle began, so as not to lose their chains after going to the battlefield.

After supplementation, the first battalion was replaced with Japanese equipment: in addition to the 38-large covers, they were also equipped with seven crooked light machine guns. The average per capita was thirty bullets and three grenades...

The second battalion was all equipped with 79 caliber rifles, and was equipped with seven light machine guns. The third battalion, with the worst combat power, was also equipped with more than 200 rifles and three light machine guns.

In addition, the equipment level of the entire regiment headquarters' direct security company and machine gun company that were also replaced has been directly higher.

What satisfied the regiment commander the most were the mortars, heavy machine guns, and grenade launchers equipped by the machine gun company. With them, the troops will not have to be passively beaten when they encounter Japanese artillery fire in the future."

At 11 o'clock in the evening, a rapid phone ringing suddenly rang at the stronghold where the troops were about to attack tonight.

The captain of the stronghold was woken up by his subordinates in his sleep: "Sir, the Dongcun artillery tower was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the artillery tower garrison suffered heavy losses. Please support!"

When he heard that there was a war to fight, the team started to make a move from the bed and asked while putting on his clothes: "What is the specific situation? How many Eighth Route Army attacked the Dongcun stronghold, how well their equipment is, and how long can the stronghold last now?"

The subordinates quickly told what they knew: "The artillery garrison called just now and said: The Eighth Route Army dispatched a battalion to attack them, equipped with more than 200 rifles, five or six light machine guns, and two grenade launchers!"

"Although the defense pressure of the artillery tower is very high, the Eighth Route Army seems to have very little ammunition, and the hit rate of the grenade launcher is also very low. The remaining troops of the garrison should be able to last another hour, which is enough for us to send troops to reinforce!"

"It must be the Eighth Route Army who is active near us!" The team leader made a judgment after hearing the introduction.

"Their main battalion is equipped with more than 200 rifles, five or six light machine guns, and two grenade launchers!"

"If I guess correctly, this Eighth Route Army should have almost used up ammunition supplies. I want to capture one of our artillery towers and seize some ammunition supplies they urgently need!"

"But they were too brave, they actually surrounded the only main battalion around the artillery tower, and even a force to attack aid. If they were surrounded by us, the battalion would be attacked by us inside and outside, and if they were not killed, they would be beaten to the point of being defeated by us!"

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army is in the Dongcun Artillery Tower. The remaining troops are not equipped with guns. The combat effectiveness is very poor and they will definitely not be able to threaten the stronghold."

"I decided to draw 100 people from the stronghold to marching and reinforce the Dongcun artillery tower, and attack the Eighth Route Army in front and behind with the remaining garrisons in the artillery tower!"

"As long as we find ways to destroy or severely damage the Eighth Route Army that attacked the artillery tower, the remaining Eighth Route Army near us will not be afraid!"

"You immediately assemble two platoons of the Imperial Army, two combat squads of the Imperial Army, and the mortar team. After half an hour, I will be commanded by myself and march to reinforce the Dongcun artillery tower!

"Dadada..." The battle that took place in Dongcun continued. The light machine guns equipped by the Eighth Route Army fired a string of bullets at the artillery tower from time to time, causing gravel on the exterior wall of the artillery tower to fly across.

If there is a bullet that is lucky to drill into the shooting hole, a scream will probably come from the artillery tower.

More than 300 soldiers were scattered among seven light machine guns, surrounding the artillery tower tightly.

Someone was lying behind the bunker, holding his gun and staring at the artillery tower without moving. He immediately fired whenever the Japanese and puppet troops showed up.

These people were veterans and sharpshooters in the regiment. Only they dared to hit the Japanese and puppet troops hiding behind through the shooting holes and battlements.

Ordinary soldiers did not waste bullets. They carried the rifle on their backs, bent over, held a hoe and a shovel in their hands, and worked hard to dig the trench under their feet, and then digged the traffic trench in the direction of the artillery tower, striving to extend it all the way to the foot of the artillery tower and shorten the attack distance of the troops' assault artillery tower.

This is also the most worrying issue for the artillery garrison!

The Eighth Route Army has poor equipment. Apart from blasting, there are no heavy weapons that can threaten the safety of the artillery tower.

If they fought hard, the Japanese and puppet troops would be confident that they would rely on two light machine guns to guard the artillery tower.

The Eighth Route Army obviously saw this, so they gave up their original strong attack methods from the beginning of the attack. By digging trenches, they gradually shortened the distance of the attack artillery tower and reduced the losses of the troops when they blasted the artillery tower.

If they achieve their goal and shorten the attack distance to thirty or forty meters, the blaster can rush to the foot of the artillery tower in only eight or nine seconds, and the speed is very fast.

The garrison was only equipped with two light machine guns, and it was definitely impossible to kill a few people in such a short time.

This means that the Eighth Route Army will have many blasting hands breaking through the machine gun intercepting, killing to the foot of the artillery tower, and destroying the artillery tower with explosive packs.

In order to avoid this, the garrison of the artillery tower began to ask for help from the nearest stronghold when they saw the Eighth Route Army digging trenches outside the artillery tower.

It takes a lot of time to dig trenches, and reinforcements can reach the surrounding artillery tower after marching for more than half an hour.

At that time, the trenches of the Eighth Route Army had not been dug, and it was not right to advance or retreat. The reinforcements and artillery tower garrison took the opportunity to launch an attack, attacking inside and outside, and they would definitely be able to kill the Eighth Route Army outside the artillery tower in a very short time...

The team leader led more than 100 subordinates to march forward in a hurry to Dongcun with his head.

As the boss of the Japanese and puppet troops in this area, the team leader knew better than anyone else about the situation of the Eighth Route Army.

As long as the content of the report of the garrison in the artillery tower was true, the Eighth Route Army that attacked them was indeed equipped with only more than 200 rifles and five or six light machine guns, then there were no other Eighth Route Army nearby that could threaten the safety of reinforcements.

Based on this judgment, the team leader not only commanded the troops to march forward quickly, but also did not send the minimum forward sentry...

Almost halfway through the journey, the reinforcements could already vaguely hear the gunshots coming from the battlefield.

The team leader was particularly excited and guns were still firing on the battlefield, indicating that the Eighth Route Army had not retreated yet.

If you lead your troops around them and suddenly launch an attack, you will definitely be caught off guard. Then you will join forces with the remaining garrisons in the artillery tower to attack the remaining Eighth Route Army, and then you will definitely win this battle tonight!

He did what he thought of, and the team leader decided to push forward five hundred meters and then start to encircle!

"Dadada..." At the critical moment of the decisive victory, the familiar sound of a crooked strafing suddenly sounded on the side of the team.

The captain's face turned pale in an instant, and he lay down and shouted: "Bageya Road, we were fooled. There are enemies here ambushing them. They are equipped with a large number of light machine guns. Everyone will immediately disperse and hide!"

Commander Tang arranged the remaining twelve light machine guns in the regiment here and lined up along the official road.

After the Japanese and puppet army reinforcements entered the pocket formation, all twelve machine guns were aimed at the Japanese soldiers walking in the middle of the road.

The captain was very lucky and snatched the sudden rain of bullets.

More than thirty subordinates were not so lucky, especially artillery soldiers carrying mortars and machine gunners carrying light machine guns.

They are carrying heavy loads and react half a beat slower than others when attacked.

It was just half a beat slow that the bullet had already penetrated several blood holes on them!
Chapter completed!
