Hearing what Mo Yi and Xini said, Zhao Chengxu had no choice but to say that he would look for opportunities in the future, which was just a show.
"Brother Zhao, let's continue reporting on the recent battle situation and take our time." Mo Yi then said.
As for asking him to punish Chief of Staff Rong, that is simply impossible. No matter what, he will not punish his own people for the sake of the Sichuan Army.
"Well, let's continue." Zhao Chengxu nodded. He turned off the safety of the pistol and put it back into the holster on his waist.
Chu Xu also went on to talk about the casualties caused in the first few days of resistance, and then the arrival of a new regiment to raid the Japanese, and then the Sichuan army cooperated with the new regiment to annihilate the Japanese.
"Wait a minute, how many people are coming from the new group and what are their weapons and equipment?" Mo Yi suddenly asked.
There were nearly two thousand Japanese who came to attack Wu County. With the bad guns in the hands of the Sichuan army and the Eighth Route Army, it would be extremely difficult to annihilate two thousand Japanese.
"There were about three thousand people with better weapons than us. When the Japs were fighting fiercely with us, they took the opportunity to go around to the Japs' flanks and conduct a sneak attack.
The Japs' artillery positions were the first to be attacked. They took it away and turned the muzzle of the gun to attack the Japanese," Chu Xu said.
Mo Yi fell silent. The new regiment of 3,000 people actually had nearly 3,000 people in one regiment. His regiment only had about 2,000 people.
Although it is claimed that there are more than 2,500 people in one regiment under his command, in fact there are not many at all.
Speaking of which, the New Group has been quite popular recently, and has caused a lot of trouble for the Japanese in Shanxi.
The soldiers below all have combat experience. In addition to the situation of a sneak attack, and the Sichuan army also provided immediate support, it is not impossible to annihilate the Japanese.
I am afraid that when the New Regiment comes this time, it has already brought many weapons of the 386th Brigade. Otherwise, if the New Regiment also brings bad guns, it will be impossible to do it.
"You continue." Mo Yi looked at Chu Xu.
"After we cooperated with the new group to annihilate the Japs, they recuperated in the county town for a few days, and then left the county town.
Not long after, the Japs came to attack the city again. This time Once, the Japanese sent more people.
But because they had learned from the past, they wanted to set a trap for the new group and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
No Thinking that the Japanese plan was discovered by the new group, and they raided the Japanese again at night and annihilated some of the Japanese.
Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible for the Japanese to capture Wu County in a short time. Yes, so the Japanese chose to retreat," Chu Xu continued.
"And until now, the Japanese haven't come to attack the city, right?" Mo Yi said.
"Yes." Chu Xu nodded.
"Okay, I already know the specific aspects of the recent battle situation. Brother Zhao, you can go out for a while. I have to hold a small meeting, so it's not convenient for you to listen." Mo Yi looked at Zhao Chengxu said.
Zhao Chengxu didn't say much, got up and led Chu Xu and the others out of the command room.
"Call Chief of Staff Rong back." Mo Yi said to a regimental commander next to him.
"Yes" The regiment leader left immediately and came in with Chief of Staff Rong not long after.
"Brigade, I don't understand, the Sichuan army is just a group of bandits, why are you so polite to them?" Chief of Staff Rong said with a look of displeasure as soon as he came in.
Obviously, the apology he had just made to Zhao Chengxu and the others made him uneasy.
To Chief of Staff Rong, he belongs to the Central Army, and the Sichuan Army is just a group of bandits from the barren land.
If even the commander-in-chief doesn’t want to see the Sichuan Army, they are even less likely to want to see the Sichuan Army.
"We are here to take credit for others' achievements. How can we be polite? Defending Wuxian County was a great achievement. It greatly delayed the Japanese from being able to transport supplies to the front line as soon as possible. If the superiors know about it, they will reward us.
If the Sichuan army causes trouble, the impact will ultimately be bad," Mo Yi said.
It was a bit too much to openly take credit for the Sichuan Army and also speak harshly to others, although he didn't really care.
"Let's make a fuss. No matter how we calculate the credit, it's impossible for it to fall on the Sichuan Army." Chief of Staff Rong disagreed.
"Can you please be smarter? I'm really offending people. If this happens again next time, if I want to mobilize the Sichuan army to guard it, they may not be happy." Mo Yi was not happy. road.
It was a bit too much to transfer the Sichuan Army to defend the county seat instead of guarding it. It offended people to death. Once other Sichuan Army troops knew the situation, no one would dare to help them.
"I didn't think carefully enough." Chief of Staff Rong said.
"Okay, let's not mention this matter again. Zhao Chengxu's side probably won't make too much fuss. After all, if it gets too big, they won't even think about it.
But you kid, keep your mouth shut. When Zhao Chengxu drew his gun just now, there was murderous intent in his eyes. If I didn't come forward, you might be dead," Mo Yi said slowly.
He could tell that when Zhao Chengxu drew his gun, he really wanted to kill Chief of Staff Rong, so he came forward immediately.
Otherwise, with Chief of Staff Rong’s brain, if he says one more thing, he will definitely be outraged on the spot.
"He, he dares" Chief of Staff Rong said with some lack of confidence. He still didn't believe that the Sichuan Army dared to kill the Central Army.
"Why don't you dare? They defended the county town and many people died. They were already angry, but you said that their casualties were useless. I would have killed you, no matter what. What kind of army are you?" Mo Yi said.
Chief of Staff Rong completely stopped talking.
"Brigade, compared to the Sichuan Army, I feel that this new regiment is more worthy of attention. There are three thousand people in one regiment. Is this development speed too fast?" said a regiment leader.
The number of soldiers under his command is only 2,000, but a regiment of the Eighth Route Army has 3,000 people. This rapid development makesPeople are afraid.
"Yes, if calculated this way, there would be tens of thousands of people in the 386th Brigade," another officer also said.
A regiment of three thousand people, a brigade, is close to tens of thousands people.
"Impossible, no matter how they develop, they will never reach this level. The so-called three thousand people in one regiment of the New Regiment is just an exaggeration." Mo Yi said.
"But they do have so many people. Didn't the Sichuan Army tell them all? They saw it with their own eyes, so it can't be a lie." Another officer said.
"Although it is a new regiment, there must be soldiers from other regiments. Otherwise, how could there be three thousand people." Mo Yi said.
He guessed that there were not only soldiers from the new regiment, but also soldiers from other regiments, but they were all under the command of the commander of the new regiment.
Otherwise, he would never believe that the new regiment could outnumber his regiment.
The Eighth Route Army is so poor. Even if it recruits people, it is impossible for so many people to get guns. It must have been formed by the other two regiments.
"If this is the case, it is not impossible, but why don't they say that they were established?" Chief of Staff Rong also roughly understood the conversation and interrupted.
"Huh, it's probably vanity. They want us to see the strength of their Eighth Route Army." Mo Yi sneered.
In his opinion, the Eighth Route Army was weak, and it had gone to great lengths to form a more powerful force. How could it be done without bragging about it.
Everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.
After Zhao Chengxu went out, he went directly to an empty courtyard with no one around.
"Sir, those people are really too much, especially that chief of staff. I really want to kill him." Chu Xu's face was full of anger and injustice.
How many brothers from the Sichuan Army died in order to defend Wu County. In the end, the chief of staff didn't care at all. Instead, he said not to say useless things.
"Who said otherwise? Most of the soldiers who died were a group of child soldiers who came out of Sichuan with us in order to protect their homes and the country.
I didn’t expect that when I first arrived here, A lot of people were sacrificed, but they were not taken seriously after defending the city," the first regiment leader said, you know, even the second regiment leader Liao died.
Zhao Chengxu remained silent. If possible, he would also like to kill the dog chief of staff, but by then, the trouble would be great and many people would be affected.
The key is that they are not taken seriously. If they were taken seriously, would that dog chief of staff still dare to say this? If he dares to say it, he would be killed without worrying about injuring other people.
"Chu Xu, are all the confiscated weapons hidden?" Zhao Chengxu asked.
The New Regiment left a lot of weapons for them. If Mo Yi and the others saw it, they would definitely take most of them away, so they must hide them.
"Don't worry, Brigadier, I have arranged all the weapons." Chu Xu said, now most of the guns in the hands of the Sichuan army have been replaced, but there are still hundreds of people still holding Japanese guns.arms.
After all, they cooperated with the New Regiment and wiped out many Japanese soldiers. If there were no soldiers to take the Japanese weapons, everyone would see that there was something wrong.
"Well, that's fine. I guess they may also want to take the ammunition and guns we seized. I will tell them." Zhao Chengxu said.
The guns and ammunition left by the New Regiment for them were the second life of the Sichuan soldiers. No matter what, Mo Yi and the others could not take them away.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a large mountain about three miles away from Fengling.
Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng were watching the battle on the battlefield with binoculars.
The sound of gunfire came from Fengling from time to time.
From the telescope, we can see that many Japanese soldiers are charging towards the national army's position one after another.
The battlefield in Fengling stretched for five or six miles, and some hilltops were flattened by Japanese artillery fire.
"The situation is not very optimistic. The positions of the 215th Division are being lost." Xu Qingfeng put down the telescope and said.
Several lines of defense in Fengling had been broken through by the Japanese. Although they were recaptured by the National Army soldiers, the casualties were heavy. Compared with the casualties of the Japanese, the casualties of the 215th Division were obviously greater.
The combat effectiveness of the two sides is hardly at the same level. If it were not for the favorable terrain, the 215th Division would have been defeated long ago.
"Well, according to the current situation, the 215th Division can only hold on for more than ten days. Once Fengling is lost,
then the Japanese will be able to break through from here. "We are encircling the battlefield on the other side. I don't know how many people will die by then," Li Jin said with a heavy expression.
Fortunately, Wu County defended it. Otherwise, it would have been good to have defended it for five or six days, let alone ten days.
"The problem is that they don't seem to send anyone here to support the 215th Division. Even Wu County and the others wanted to give up at first." Xu Qingfeng said.
If no one comes to support, it will end up like Wu County.
"No, they know the seriousness of the situation and if they dare to sit back and ignore it, many people above them will probably lose their heads." Li Jin said.
Fights are fights. Whoever dares to engage in this kind of war is no different from being a traitor, unless they no longer want to live.
"Let Liu Changshun take people to see where the Japanese artillery positions are, and then find the Japanese headquarters." Li Jin said.
If the Japanese artillery positions can be taken away, the pressure on the 215th Division can be reduced. If the Japanese command headquarters can be blown up, that would be even better.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Fengling, the headquarters of the 215th Division.
Division commander Liang Gu was standing in front of the sand table and looking at the flags on the sand table. Several brigade commanders were here.
"Master, the Japanese offensive suddenly became fierce. Apparently their logistics supplies have arrived." The second brigade commander said.
The Japanese offensive had eased before, and they could still fight back and forth, but now the JapaneseOnce the supplies are supplied, it will be difficult for them to resist.
"Don't be anxious, take your time. The Wuxian side has been defended with the help of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army. As long as we survive these few days and consume the Japanese supplies, we will be able to usher in relief again. . ” said the division commander Liang Gu.
Wuxian County held on, preventing the Japanese supplies from being transported here immediately, which gave them some breathing space.
"Wuxian actually defended it. I remember Wu County was defended by the Sichuan Army," the second brigade commander said in surprise. Although he had not had much dealings with the Sichuan Army, he also knew that the Sichuan Army's weapons were extremely poor.
/p>
Wuxian is holding on, so our pressure won’t be that great,” Liang Gu said.
If the Japanese were allowed to capture Wu County, and the Japanese supplies would continue to be transported here, the pressure on them would not be as great as usual.
"In that case, we still owe the Eighth Route Army a favor." said the chief of staff.
"Yes, the 309th Division sat back and ignored, and only the Eighth Route Army extended a helping hand." Liang Gu nodded.
Although the 309th Division was also fighting against the Japanese, they only faced one regiment of the Japanese.
Compared with the 215th Division, the pressure is not at the same level. They could have sent people to support Wu County, but they chose to transfer them away, claiming it was to better defend this area. position.
The key point is that you can't do anything about him, and you can't say that they haven't contributed, and they are also fighting the Japanese.
As soon as the Sichuan Army secured Wu County, the 309th Division couldn't wait to send people over to take over. They were obviously the fruit pickers in the past. There was really no one with such a thick skin.
"Master, with our current ammunition, it is estimated that we can last for more than ten days. If the logistics supplies are not available, I am afraid the soldiers will have to fight with the Japanese with bayonets." said the chief of staff. .
They are not afraid of war. The key is to keep up with logistics and supplies. Even if they have run out of bullets, they still have to defend themselves.
"The higher-ups have already sent people to deliver it to us. It will probably take a few days to arrive. We are trying to hold on." Liang Gu said, he had been pressing for supplies.
This war is for millions of people. It is normal that there will be difficulties in logistical supplies, but if there are difficulties, you have to overcome them. They are sad, and the Japanese are also unhappy. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
