    After saying these words, Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at the setting sun that was as red as blood and was about to disappear under the horizon. He was silent for a moment and said: "There are some things that I think you, as my subordinates, should have the right to know.  [.Com text] The current situation is very unfavorable to us. Although we defeated the Japanese and puppet troops in front of us, the other two groups of Japanese and puppet troops are attacking us from east to west. Although we won the first battle, we faced a passive situation.  It has not been fundamentally relieved.¡±

    "Now we have two choices. If we leave our brothers who share life and death together and evacuate together with the wounded and new recruits, we will still have a glimmer of hope. If we leave the brothers of the two companies who are locked in a bitter battle, we will be able to evacuate together."  We live and die together, the battle that awaits us will be our life and death battle.¡±

    After saying that, Yang Zhen turned his head and looked at the several company commanders and instructors who were standing beside him, waiting for him to assign tasks, and said: "I don't want to hide these things from you. For me personally, it makes me give up the relationship with the people we once lived with."  Brothers who died together, I can¡¯t do that.¡±

    "Either I won't leave, or I will leave with my brothers. Do you have the confidence to stay and work with me to rescue Chief of Staff Guo and Deputy Chief of Staff Wang? And ultimately defeat the Japanese encirclement and suppression of us?"

    "Of course, if any of you are unwilling, you can go after the political commissar now. I, Yang Zhen, will never force you to stay. Because I don't have the right to take everyone with me and jump into a pit of fire even though I know it is a fire pit. Please don't worry, everyone,  If I can survive after this battle, I will never take revenge on the person who left."

    After Yang Zhen finished speaking, several company commanders and instructors looked at each other before one company commander said: "Commander, you tell me how to fight. We will resolutely obey your orders. We will fight with you, even if the situation is dangerous, we will have confidence in our hearts."  . Besides, no matter how dangerous the current situation is, can we still be in danger in the Japanese concentration camp? What does this little difficulty mean now that we have already broken out?"

    After he finished speaking, the other company commanders and instructors all said at once: "Commander, please tell me what to do? We have been preparing for this day since the day we became soldiers. Soldiers must  If you are still afraid of death, why should you be a soldier?¡±

    After auscultating the various responses from several company commanders and instructors, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Well, since everyone has made up their minds, I will make arrangements."

    Yang Zhen pointed to the road in the valley and said to Cheng Zishan, commander of the heavy machine gun company of the Second Battalion, and Gao Jiliang, the instructor, who had been following him: "Zishan, you and Jiliang each brought three heavy machine guns to ambush on the mountain road.  On the mountainside on both sides.¡±

    "There are more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops in this direction. According to their tactical requirements, there is no way to squeeze so many people on this not-so-wide mountain road. If the little devils want to use squeezing tactics, they must take advantage of the mountainside  , the mountain top and the mountain road advance parallel. "

    "The terrain here is two mountains sandwiched between a ditch. It can be said to be a natural battlefield for ambushes. However, although the terrain here is favorable to us, the mountains here are gentle and not too high. Except for the hilltop at our feet,  In addition, the vegetation on the rest of the mountain is not dense compared with other places.¡±

    "Most of the mountains here are covered with weeds or shrubs, and there are not many tall trees. On the contrary, the foot of the mountain is covered with dense shrubs and birch forests. So I concluded that the Japanese and puppet troops must adopt a multi-channel squeeze approach.  The tactics are not just to pursue from the mountain road, but also to the mountainside and the top of the mountain.¡±

    "Your task is to wait until Chief of Staff Guo leads the team to withdraw. As soon as the Japanese and puppet troops appear, use firepower to suppress the Japanese and puppet troops on the mountainside and the top of the mountain on both sides. Don't worry about saving bullets. This is not the time to save bullets.  when."

    After that, Yang Zhen said to the two infantry company commanders and instructors beside him: "The Japs are afraid of being ambushed and will not enter the woods easily. If they walk alone on the mountain road, the Japs will not be able to use their strength. As I said just now, according to the chief of staff's instructions  Judging from the characteristics of the Japanese tactics this time, they will definitely divide their troops and pursue them on the mountainside or on the top of the mountain. "

    "Even if their tactics have changed, in order to avoid being ambushed, he must send some troops to march from the mountainside or the top of the mountain. In this way, they may not pay attention to the bushes on both sides of the mountain road under their noses."

    "You each lead your troops to ambush in the bushes at the foot of the mountain road on both sides, but do not enter the birch forest. Remember that you must not enter the birch forest."

    "I took a look and found that the straight-line distance between the foot of the mountain and the mountain road is only twenty meters. This distance is enough for you to throw grenades into the enemy's march. And the bushes are very lush, which is enough for you to hide."

    "Remember, you are not allowed to hit the enemy's leading soldiers. Let their leading soldiers go and hit his marching group. Tell the troops that when throwing grenades, remember to pull out the safety bolt and wait three seconds before throwing the grenade."

    "The Japanese are coming, don't rush to fight them yet."Even if the machine gun fire on the mountainside starts first, don't move.  I will arrange for people to plant explosives on the mountain road later. After the explosives explode, I will order the artillery to concentrate fire on his marching group.  "

    "Your task is to throw out all the grenades on hand as soon as the sound of artillery stops. Do not leave any grenades behind. After a while, you will throw out all the grenades we carry. Each soldier can take as many as he can.  Take a few."

    "After the grenades are used up, use machine guns and platoon gun fire to sweep them away. But don't attack without orders, try to use firepower to kill the Japanese. It will be dark soon, so use grenades to greet them first. The Japanese may not be able to touch them.  to your exact location.¡±

    After explaining the two company commanders, Yang Zhen said to the last remaining infantry company commander and instructor who had not yet been assigned a task, and to Li Mingrui beside him: "I have given you a few tasks, do you dare to do them?"

    Li Mingrui looked at each other and realized that there must be a special mission assigned to him, and he quickly said: "What do you dare to do? As long as the commander gives instructions, we will fight wherever you tell us. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ??fire, there will be no hesitation."  ¡±

    "Okay, what I'm waiting for is your words. Although the task I want to give you is a bit dangerous, it's not too difficult. After a while, you go and bring me the Japanese artillery. How about it?  Do you have the confidence and confidence to complete this task?¡±

    The three of them did not hesitate for a moment because Yang Zhen explained this somewhat difficult task. They did not even frown upon hearing the order and said in unison: "Commander, please rest assured, we are determined to complete the task at all costs."  ¡±

    Although the three people all know that it is not an easy task to use infantry to destroy artillery positions that are usually deployed in depth, and even this task can be described as a narrow escape for them.  Although they knew that this task was very difficult and that it might cost a lot or even destroy the entire army, the three of them still did not hesitate at all, perhaps because of their trust in Yang Zhen.

    Regarding the performance of the three people, Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, as a commander, you must have the courage to win the rank of general among a million troops. Soldiers, especially a commander, need more than just  Courage, what is more needed is courage, the courage to be willing to be killed and to pull the emperor down. The brave will win when we meet in a narrow road."

    After Yang Zhen said these words, he changed his tone and said: "But I'm not asking you to fight to the death. Each of you is the best, and I can't bear to sacrifice you here in vain. Even if you destroy the Japanese  The artillery is very important to us, but I won¡¯t let you sacrifice it easily.¡±

    Having said this, Yang Zhen turned on his flashlight, pointed at a point on the map and said, "Don't set up an ambush here. Move as close as possible to the direction of the Chief of Staff's blocking attack."

    "You see, there is an open space in the mountains about five miles away from here. According to the situation reported by the Chief of Staff, the Japs on this road carried six mountain cannons. Only here can so many artillery be launched at the same time. It is dark.  Come down, the Japanese are afraid that if we touch their night screws, they will not disperse the artillery, so you will definitely ambush in the bushes on the edge of this open area."

    "Don't contact the chief of staff, don't expose the target, and hide in the bushes on both sides of the open area. Remember, you are absolutely not allowed to go up the mountain to set up an ambush. And one thing, even if the devil steps on your head,  But as long as they don't notice, they are absolutely not allowed to shoot."

    "When you launch an attack, don't wait for the sound of artillery to fall. As soon as there is an explosion on our side, you launch an attack immediately and destroy the Japanese artillery as quickly as possible. According to the general marching rules, in the Japanese marching column,  The artillery must be behind. Your task is to destroy the Japanese artillery as soon as the battle begins to minimize our casualties. "

    "In addition, I have allocated all the submachine guns and speed machines of the guard platoon and the entire army to you. You should not spread them out, but use them concentratedly, and try your best to achieve local firepower advantage. After blowing up the Japanese artillery, you should not  Stay and attack from behind the Japanese puppet troops. You must move fiercely and quickly. Remember the three fierce tactics I taught you in Lao Heidingzi's secret camp?"

    Seeing that the three people were nodding, Yang Zhen continued: "Just remember it. When the time comes, these three powerful tactics must be used."

    Having said this, Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at the gradually darkening sky and said: "Judging from the sky, the battle we are about to face is destined to be a night battle. But although it is a night battle, we absolutely cannot  Taking the enemy's artillery lightly and destroying the enemy's firepower threat at the first opportunity is crucial to whether we can win this battle. How about you, are you confident in completing this mission?"

    Hearing Yang ZhenAt the last sentence, several people looked at each other and said in unison: "Please rest assured, we will resolutely guarantee to complete the task."

    Regarding the performance of several people, Yang Zhen did not explain anything. He knew that the three people in front of him would not let him down.

    After seeing off Li Mingrui and his party, he turned to the engineer platoon leader Qu Qiangqiang, one of the last few remaining officers, and said, "How much explosives do we still have?"

    Qu Xiangqian, who loves to use his brain and was thinking about Yang Zhen's tactical arrangements, was a little distracted when he heard Yang Zhen's question and said quickly: "Commander, since the retreat from Weihe County, after continuous use, with the addition of Director Peng's leadership,  We still have less than 200 kilograms of explosives on hand now, except for a small amount, but I think it should be enough to implement your tactical idea."

    As a veteran who experienced the shocking explosion with Yang Zhen in the Wudaolingzi Iron Mine, and as one of Yang Zhen's proud disciples in the secret camp of Laoheidingzi Mountain, although Qu Xiangqian was a little distracted before,  I have been pondering the tactical intention of Yang Zhen's deployment.  But after Yang Zhen finished speaking, he immediately understood what Yang Zhen meant.

    Yang Zhen, who was still very satisfied with Qu Xiang's reaction speed, knew that there was no need to say too much about this subordinate who loved to think very much.  Yang Zhen turned on the flashlight in his hand and pointed at the only protrusion within the visual range of the entire mountain road, a large piece of weathered stone wall at the foot of the mountain next to the mountain road and said: "You press the five button under that stone wall.  Ten kilograms of explosives. When the Japanese marching group comes over, blow him up. Remember, your task is the same as everyone else's. The enemy's leading soldiers don't care about him, just blow up his marching group."

    "In addition, bury all the remaining explosives on hand on the mountain road. However, you must calculate the yield and killing range of each burial point. You must not only kill the marching Japs to the maximum extent, but also do not accidentally injure the Japanese ambush on both sides of the mountain road.  Brothers in the Bush."

    After explaining the song and moving forward, Yang Zhen said to Qiu Jintang, the commander of the artillery company who was waiting for him to explain his mission: "You and your men, while there is still a glimmer of light, immediately estimate the scale and shooting range. After a while, the battle starts,  Send me all the shells you have on hand, don't leave any behind. After the forward explosive explodes, I will see the sound of your cannon."

    "Commander, what can you do if you fire out all the artillery shells? Our carrying capacity is limited. We brought less than 300 artillery shells in total for this battle. We have used them in several battles, especially after the battle just now. We now have  There are less than sixty rounds of artillery shells left. What will happen to the next battle if they are all used up?¡±

    "Have you forgotten the days when we were in the secret camp of Laoheidingzi Mountain, and the wood was used as a mortar? Commander, without the artillery, we can still use the wood to make a fake cannon for training. Without the shells,  , You can't let me take my turn to hit the Japanese with mortars, right?" Qiu Jintang felt somewhat distressed when he heard that Yang Zhenrang fired all the shells at hand.

    As a member of the mortar company of the 41st Army of the Sichuan Army who participated in the Tengxian Defense War, Qiu Jintang was captured during the breakout in Tengxian County and was the only veteran artilleryman in the army.  When they participated in the defense battle of Teng County, the mortar company in the only town of Teng County they participated in had only a few dozen rounds of shells.  He had been a soldier for several years and had been in the artillery. Although he had fought in many battles, the number of artillery shells he owned in previous battles had never reached a certain base.

    For Qiu Jintang, who has experienced the pain of lack of ammunition, every shell is as precious as an eyeball.  So many Japanese-made mortar bombs were seized at once in Weihe County. He was so excited that he held a mortar bomb with the fuse removed during his breaks for two days in a row.  If Guo Bingxun hadn't been afraid of something happening to him and forced him to send the cannonball back, it wouldn't be long before he would have the habit of sleeping with the cannonball in his arms.

    Hearing Qiu Jintang's words, although it was not a bad thing to know that this guy was worried about ammunition, Yang Zhen still couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I said, why don't you use your brain? The shells are gone. As long as the troops are here, we can do it at any time."  Seize it again. If the troops are gone, what's the use of keeping more shells?"

    "The most important thing we have to do now is to reduce the casualties of the troops in the battle as much as possible. Artillery shells are precious, but compared to these artillery shells, our soldiers are more precious. Go ahead, the enemy's gunfire is getting closer and closer  , We don¡¯t have much time left. As long as the troops are here, we will capture them again if we run out of artillery shells this time.¡±

    Yang Zhen had reached this point, and even if Qiu Jintang felt sorry for Cannonball, he would not dare to say anything more.  There was no further argument. Qiu Jincheng silently paid a military salute to Yang Zhen, took the flashlight handed over by Yang Zhen, turned around and went down to arrange it according to Yang Zhen's instructions.

    Those principles Yang Zhen said, I have dealt with the Japanese in Teng County, and I have been exposed to many Japanese shells.You know, he just feels sorry for these hard-won shells.  Because in his opinion, if the troops continue to wander around in the deep mountains and forests all day long, there will really be no place to replenish the shells when they are used up.

    After Qiu Jintang went down to arrange the arrangements, Yang Zhen, who had just appeared calm in front of his subordinates, felt very anxious when he heard the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer.  Guo Bingxun has not been able to contact him since the last telegram.

    Although I know that the radio stations of this era are still very bulky and not as convenient as the walkie-talkies I used in later generations, they do not delay the communication between each other when marching and fighting at close range. When marching, especially on the border like now  When fighting and withdrawing, it cannot be turned on at all.

    The current interruption of contact may be that Guo Bingxun, who is retreating here, cannot set up a radio station.  But Yang Zhen felt deeply sorry for Guo Bingxun.
