    Looking at the chattering little tiger, Yuan Zhiruo wrinkled her small eyebrows.  ¡¾,.When he heard that Yang Zhenqin was urged to wash his underwear, his face turned slightly red.  She could tell that the guard had deep feelings for his chief.  He told himself this because he might be a little worried about the No. 1 personal guard who came to replace him.

    Thinking of this, Yuan Zhiruo said curiously: "Huzi, how long have you been with No. 1? It has been less than two years since our military region troops were reorganized. In just two years, how could your relationship be so deep? You know this?"  You are his bodyguard. If you don¡¯t know better, you might think you are his biological brother.¡±

    When Xiao Huzi heard Yuan Zhiruo's question, he said with some reluctance: "When No. 1 was the company commander in Guan Nei, I was his correspondent. No. 1 is not only my commander, in fact he treats me as if he is his own.  Like a younger brother. He is still my savior. If No. 1 hadn't passed by during his mission, I would have starved to death on the roadside. "

    "We were captured together in the pass and taken to the northeast. He took us out of the Japanese germ warfare base and saved all of our lives. After escaping, I have been with him. First as a correspondent,  He later became a security guard. If No. 1 hadn¡¯t asked me to go to the army for training, I would have been reluctant to leave him.¡±

    "As soon as the person who replaces me arrives, I will leave. Once I leave, I don't know when I will see you again. When there were few people, No. 1 could call everyone in the unit by name. Now the unit has developed to  It¡¯s more than 100,000 yuan, and I¡¯m in the special forces again. It¡¯s not easy to see him again.¡±

    Having said this, Xiao Huzi looked at the thoughtful woman in front of him, and said with a forced smile: "Secretary Yuan, I don't know if you are the same as our guards and have learned the confidentiality code. But follow No. 1  "The most important thing is to keep it confidential, even your best comrades and comrades, or even your relatives, should not tell anything about it."

    Looking at the somewhat melancholy little tiger, Yuan Zhiruo smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the chief. At least I won't be like a certain person who washes even a piece of clothing for the chief into a fishing net. And  I have also learned the rules of confidentiality, and I know more than you about what should be done and what should not be done.¡±

    After sending away the worried little tiger, Yuan Zhiruo turned around and did not go to rest as requested by Yang Zhen. She stood at the door and looked at Yang Zhen who was staring at the map and not knowing what he was thinking, but his mind was very messy.  She found that she could not see more and more clearly the god-like leader who was rumored to be in the army.

    Is it the invincible commander on the battlefield, or the cunning businessman in the negotiation field just now?  Is he the bottomless big shot when he contacted the central government, or is he an ordinary man who doesn't know how to change his clothes without being urged to do so?  What kind of person is he?  It's really like a mystery.

    Yang Zhen, who put all his thoughts on Wang Xiaoming's actions against the 14th Division, knew that Yuan Zhiruo outside the door was becoming more and more curious about him.  Looking at the watch, it was already midnight, but Wang Xiaoming had not reported any battle status, which made Yang Zhen somewhat anxious.

    Although I have known for a long time that Wang Xiaoming will never open his mouth until the last moment and the end of the rope.  But Yang Zhen was somewhat worried.  Nothing else. It's just that Wang Xiaoming's strength is a bit too weak.  Before the Sixth Brigade arrived, Wang Xiaoming had enough troops to defend, but the counterattack across the board was clearly beyond his means.

    "Whether Wang Xiaoming's side can entangle or even severely damage the 14th Division will determine whether the next operation through Harbin can proceed smoothly.  Whether or not Harbin can be captured is related to the success or failure of the entire next step of the war.  As long as Harbin is captured, not only will its strategic depth be greatly increased, but it will also mean that it will take the initiative in the entire future war situation.

    Going west, you can attack the Mongolian grasslands west of the Greater Khingan Mountains at any time, and follow the trend south to open up connections with the pass.  To the south, it can directly threaten Xinjing, the capital of the puppet Manchukuo.  Harbin's extremely important strategic position in the entire next phase of the campaign, as well as its impact on the overall future development, gave Yang Zhen a rare feeling of worrying about gains and losses.

    The surprise attack on Harbin is the most important move in the whole game, and it is also the most dangerous move.  Every step is extremely critical.  Even if you make one wrong move, you will lose everything.  The key now depends on Wang Xiaoming whether this risky move can achieve the goal he wants.

    Yang Zhen is a little worried about the war situation on the Western Front, and Wang Xiaoming, who is responsible for commanding the war on the Western Front, is also having a headache.  In fact, this attack was somewhat hasty for Wang Xiaoming.  Moreover, before receiving the telegram from the headquarters, Wang Xiaoming, who had already noticed the 14th Division's intention to escape, had already devoted all his strength to launch a local tactical counterattack against the 14th Division.

    It¡¯s just that although we have long been prepared for a decisive battle with the 14th Division, the ammunition??Insufficient reserves, the newly formed independent Sixth Brigade, and the gap in equipment still made Wang Xiaoming, who had only two brigades on hand before the Sixth Brigade returned, somewhat overwhelmed.

    Although there are two brigades of troops on hand, the actual situation has not changed at all.  The newly added Sixth Independent Brigade was adapted on the spot from the three-division troops.  As for the Third Division troops, due to equipment and actual combat experience, they had been in a subordinate position before the Sixth Brigade was transferred.  In other words, I have not had any experience in fighting alone.

    Since the battle began, although the second column was not in the main combat direction, the second column, which was ordered to contain an entire division of the Japanese army, was under great pressure.  While other troops can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, the Second Column has been in a stalemate with the 14th Division.

    Although the fierce fighting that came and went for a month caused a lot of casualties to the 14th Division, the second column's own casualties were also not light.  In the middle, another brigade and most of the heavy artillery reinforced by the headquarters were transferred, leaving only a second column of the fourth brigade in the old army. Although the second column has added a certain amount of troops, its actual offensive capability has declined to a dangerous level.

    And the equipment of the original third division troops, which were originally local troops, is compared with these old troops.  Whether it is light equipment or heavy weapons, the difference is quite large.  In addition, the original third division itself was a new unit formed. Although there were three full regiments, the total number of heavy machine guns in the entire division was only fifty-four. Compared with the old unit's establishment of seventy-two in one brigade,  A full third is missing.

    The number of mortars is also based on typical local armed configurations. Each regiment has three 90mm Japanese mortars, and the division is directly under the jurisdiction of three 120mm mortars.  There is no artillery directly under the brigade, and each regiment does not have an infantry artillery company, a heavy mortar company, a combat defense artillery company, or an anti-aircraft machine gun company.  There are only four Japanese 37mm rapid-fire guns in one brigade.

    The infantry equipment is pretty good, all French Leber 1916 rifles. The main force uses Polish weapons to replace the crooked light machine guns and grenades imitated by Fengtian.  However, the number of light machine guns per platoon is one less than that of the old army, with only two per platoon.  In terms of firepower, this newly formed independent brigade, which is mainly composed of troops from the three divisions, is not as good as a regiment of the old army.

    Before the launch of this battle, we received a large amount of Polish-made arms transferred from Jiangbei.  In the two columns of the main force, except for the crooked handles in the original Japanese weapons units that were replaced by Type 96 light machine guns, the semi-Japanese weapons units have all been replaced with light weapons made in Poland.  The grenadiers in the army, except for a few units, have all been replaced with self-produced 60 mortars.

    It turned out that the firepower of the three independent brigades formed in the first batch was all equipped according to the main force.  They are all equipped with Japanese equipment.  Type 38 rifle, the military region's improved light machine gun with a crooked handle using a magazine, Type 92 heavy machine gun, and rocket launcher.  The mountain artillery was not much different from the several brigades of the main column.

    Although not equipped with 60 mortars, each regiment has doubled the configuration of Japanese 37 rapid-fire guns and 92 infantry guns.  Moreover, the number of grenade launchers has been increased from one per squad to two per squad.  The firepower of the squad is even stronger than that of the old troops.

    Originally, according to the headquarters¡¯ plan, all weapons and equipment in the three divisions were to be replaced with exclusively French equipment.  However, the number of French equipment in stock is insufficient, and the light and heavy machine guns can only be replaced by a relatively sufficient number of Japanese and refurbished German heavy machine guns in stock.  Both the density of firepower delivery and the quality of infantry weapons are quite different from those of the old troops.

    ¡°Coupled with the anti-revolutionary movement launched at the end of last year, it can be said that our vitality has been severely damaged.  Although Chai Shirong tried hard, he could not completely recover his strength until this battle.  Compared with Du Kaishan's four divisions, the combat effectiveness is not at the same level at all.  It can only be used as an attached unit. When facing an established regular division of the Japanese army like the 14th Division, Wang Xiaoming simply did not dare to let it take charge of its own affairs.

    Even if a brigade is formed now, it is nothing more than a new brigade compared to the original one.  In fact, after the Sixth Brigade was transferred, Wang Xiaoming, whose actual strength had been weakened, lost the ability to fight against the 14th Division and was always in a passive defensive position.  Although the 14th Division's offensive was barely blocked, the situation was actually not very optimistic.

    The firepower and combat effectiveness of the two brigades are quite different, and the sinking state is not the most troublesome thing for Wang Xiaoming.  The most disturbing thing is that he doesn't have enough cannonballs on hand.  Not counting infantry artillery, mortars, and rapid-fire artillery, the artillery directly under the column and the artillery of the four brigades combined totaled less than 3,000 rounds.

    ??In other words, Wang Xiaoming has more than 100 artillery pieces and 36 multiple rocket launchers. On average, each gun has less than 30 rounds of shells, and the 107th rocket launcher has only 500 rounds.  The 24th Army of the 105th Field Artillery Regiment, which is directly under the most powerful and longest-range column,There were 105 field guns and less than 200 shells left.

    Because they have not been in the main combat area, the supply of supplementary artillery shells must be given priority to the first column and fourth division troops that have been in the main combat area.  Coupled with the month-long back and forth, although the scale is not as strong as the center line, there are still big battles every day and small battles almost every hour, and the consumption of artillery shells is also quite large.  With replenishment unable to keep up with consumption, Wang Xiaoming's inventory of artillery shells has dropped to a dangerous level.

    Although the headquarters had promised to immediately allocate artillery shells to Wang Xiaoming after the First Column completed the Baoqing operation.  At the same time as the telegram ordered the formation of the Sixth Independent Brigade, approval was given to organize it according to the establishment of a field brigade.  But the current situation is that the additional artillery shells and the equipment and personnel to form the independent sixth brigade artillery have not yet arrived, but the Japanese army in front of them has already shown changes.
