my bright sword career

"Captain Gao... I heard that we are going to launch an attack, is that true?"

Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Political Commissar Li hurried into the command hall of the Liantai militia.

This is a rather spacious material, covering more than 100 square meters. More than a dozen staff officers are deducing the huge sand table in the material. In the corner near the wall, five or six telegraph operators are sitting in front of the radio station. I was busy, and the sound of tick-tock sending and receiving newspapers resounded non-stop.

"Old Li, you are here!"

Ding Wei, who was also standing beside the sand table discussing the military situation with Gao Hongming and Chi Yaohui, raised his head and said hello.

"Political Commissar Li, you came just in time."

Gao Hongming said with a smile to Commissar Li: "According to the information from the reconnaissance plane and the front-line investigators, the 108th Division is planning to attack our army's position, and the scale of the posture is not small. Lao Ding and I are preparing to strike him first By surprise."

"Is there only the 108th Division? What about the Sixth Division on the left?" Political Commissar Li asked with some concern. Everyone knew that although their opponents were two divisions on the surface, only the Sixth Division was the Japanese army. The main offensive force, there is no doubt about it.

"The Sixth Division hasn't made any movement yet." Ding Wei said: "This is what Captain Gao and I have been puzzled about. It stands to reason that the Sixth Division, as the absolute main force, shouldn't be the absolute main force of the attack? It's really incomprehensible."

Even Ding Wei, who is as smart as Ding Wei, can't figure it out. With the quality of the Japanese army commander, he will not fail to understand that any attack should defeat the opponent in the shortest time with the momentum of thunder. There are two divisions in hand, but only half of the troops are dispatched. Doesn't he know that refueling tactics are always a taboo for military strategists to launch an attack?

You must know that Gao Hongming has only one militia in name, but this guy has already expanded his strength to nine reinforced infantry battalions, two armored battalions, and four artillery battalions, plus more than 200 aircraft. It's already less than [-].

Coupled with the cobweb-like fortifications and powerful artillery fire that have been built these days, the Japanese want to use a division of troops to eat him.

However, Ding Wei cannot be blamed for this. He knows Gao Hongming's strength, but the Japanese don't know about it. Coupled with the conflict between Kamimoto Kumaya and Kanda Shochu, Shimomoto Kumaya led the 108th Division to prepare to attack alone. things happen.

The four of them thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out, and then Political Commissar Li asked again: "Also, since the 108th Division wants to attack, why don't we wait for work with ease? Relying on favorable terrain and positions to block and kill the enemy layer by layer is no better than taking the initiative. How about attacking?"

Political Commissar Li is also a veteran of the Red Army. Of course, he knows that the side that takes the initiative to attack when the two armies are fighting will generally suffer greater casualties.

"Commander Gao and I have also thought about this."

Ding Wei shook his head, "Usually your concerns are justified, but the situation is different now. You must know that the Japanese army has two divisions. If we just passively defend, then the initiative will be in the opponent's hands." .

Once the 108th Division's attack fails, the Sixth Division will certainly not sit idly by. Once the Sixth Division also joins the attack, it will easily become a war of attrition and a tug-of-war.

We must know that our current anti-sweeping campaign is in full swing, and the various departments of the Eighth Route Army are in urgent need of support. If we can end the fighting here one day earlier, we can free up our hands to support the brothers' troops one day earlier, and we can also share a little pressure on the head of the headquarters, don't you think so? "

"Hmm... Old Ding, you're thoughtful, I'm too shallow!" Political commissar Li suddenly realized, and secretly admired him, because his partner stood tall and saw far.

"Then when are we going to attack?"

"Seven o'clock sharp tomorrow morning!"

The desolate wilderness is full of densely dug trenches and foxholes, with strong winds blowing from time to time, and even the rising sun brings a chill at night.

At six o'clock in the morning, not only the positions of the Liantai militia were quiet, but also the positions of the Japanese army. Almost all the soldiers were still asleep.

"Comrades... This attack was jointly initiated by our Xinyi regiment and the Liantai militia. We dispatched three infantry battalions on each side, and attacked from the left and right sides at the same time." Ding Weizheng faced the three battalion commanders in front of him with a serious expression. Arrange combat missions with nine company commanders.

"You have to remember that this attack is different from our previous ones. In the past, our Eighth Route Army's offensives were all based on infantry, but this time it is different. Commander Gao assigned us two artillery battalions. Don't forget to tell the company below Platoon leader, immediately call for artillery support when encountering the resistance of the devils and strong strongholds, whoever dares to order the soldiers to take their lives to attack by force, don't blame me, Ding Wei, for being unkind to him."

Ding Wei emphasized again, and the company commander immediately said: "Regimental commander, don't worry, we won't save money for the local rich man, Captain Gao, and we will definitely do it!"

"Hahaha……"

The company commanders of the Eighth Route Army Battalion below all laughed.

"It's good to know!"

Ding Wei couldn't help laughing, and urged: "All observers should also pay attention. I want to emphasize again that the more observation points for a target, the greater the distance between points, and the greater the azimuth angle of the intersecting target." accurate.

We have already carried out reconnaissance on hundreds of targets in the Devil’s position by three rendezvous observation stations combined with aerial photos. The distance from the baseline has increased from 800 meters to 3700 meters, and the shooting parameters of each gun for each target have been accurately calculated. Just play according to these elements, and it is expected that satisfactory results will be obtained by performing face-to-face shots. Do you understand? "

"understand!"

"Everyone must fill in your will carefully! If you honor the beneficiary, you can get a pension of 200 yuan from Dayang! If you don't have relatives, you can also fill in your relatives and friends. Everyone must fill it out and hand it in. Seal it up for the squad leader."

In the trenches of the Liantai militia, the commanders of each company and battalion were distributing wills and letter paper to the soldiers, and at the same time constantly reminding the soldiers of the importance of the will.

It has been the tradition of the Liantai militia to distribute sufficient pensions to every soldier who died in battle. As a soldier in the Liantai militia, whether you were injured or died in battle, the Liantai militia will give you a certain amount of compensation.

Take the soldiers who died in battle as an example, the Liantai militia will give a one-time pension of 200 yuan. This money may not be a big deal in big cities such as Shanghai and Beiping, but if it is in a rural area, it will be enough if you save it. Ten years of basic life for a family of three.

Of course, the reason why he only gave 200 yuan was not that Gao Hongming didn't want to give more, but because he was limited by his own financial resources. After all, he supported so many people every day. My wallet can't support it.
