    In response to Yang Jicai's worries, Lin Zhiqiang laughed and waved his hands: "You don't need to mobilize people for this. My troops in the front are indeed quite lacking in strength and can only barely cope with the battle. But with the number of people using light and heavy weapons like yours,  It¡¯s still enough.¡±

    "This batch of machine guns you allocated can just make up for my previous battle losses. I have been worried about the firepower in the front because the gap of light and heavy machine guns has not been replenished, and it is a little too thin. With these machine guns, you can just relieve me now."  It¡¯s urgent, I can¡¯t care where Ren Guang got these machine guns, they can¡¯t just sit idle when they get here.¡±

    After listening to Lin Zhiqiang's statement, Yang Jicai shook his head but did not say anything else. After ordering the troops behind him to defend on the spot, he raised his binoculars and looked at the front line of Straw Hat Mountain. He had to estimate the impact of Straw Hat Mountain after he appeared.  What will be the reaction of the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line?

    At the same time, the artillery was ordered to be ready for battle. After the telephone line leading to the front line of Straw Hat Mountain was repaired, fire support would be provided to the front line of Straw Hat Mountain at any time according to the requirements of the front. As for the radio station, it was too time-consuming to calibrate the artillery fire, so it was better to adopt  The situation of double insurance for walkie-talkies and telephones is relatively good.

    Just when Yang Jicai raised the telescope again, Lin Zhiqiang suddenly discovered that he was wearing a small red logo on his right arm. It was not too eye-catching at this time. Only when you get closer can you see the pattern on the logo clearly.  It is marked with two golden horizontal bars and a gold star.

    Seeing the mark on Yang Jicai's arm, Lin Zhiqiang, who had already known that the army was about to assess military ranks before he was transferred to work in Northeast China, hesitated and said, "This mark on your arm is a rank mark, right? Our resistance alliance has completed the awarding of military ranks."  's work.¡±

    Hearing the hint of envy in Lin Zhiqiang's tone, Lin Zhiqiang looked at the mark on his arm and said with a smile: "Well, except for the internal affairs troops, which have not yet been awarded the titles, all the field army departments have completed the work of receiving titles.  , my military rank is the rank of major, which is equivalent to the original deputy regiment level or battalion level. "

    Having said this, Yang Jicai turned his head and looked at Lin Zhiqiang, who looked somewhat disappointed beside him, and said with a certain regret in his tone: "Old chief, according to your current position, you can at least be awarded a lieutenant colonel in our Anti-Japanese Alliance.  With your qualifications and abilities, it is not impossible to be awarded the rank of colonel. "

    "No. 1 has always valued you. If the internal troops were not in urgent need of talents, No. 1 would have transferred you to the main division as chief of staff. This time you were awarded the military rank. Basically, our main division chiefs are colonels. Only  Very rarely, the rank of lieutenant colonel is awarded due to seniority issues.

    "Regiment commanders and political commissars are generally lieutenant colonels, and some senior ones have the rank of colonel. Division commanders, military division commanders, or column chiefs of staff are all senior colonels. Several column levels and various services and arms,  The commanders and political commissars of each secondary military region are awarded the rank of major general. According to your seniority and position, you can at least be a lieutenant colonel. "

    Although he was somewhat envious, Lin Zhiqiang was Lin Zhiqiang. After working beside Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun for such a long time, his emotions quickly adjusted. Regarding Yang Jicai's regret, Lin Zhiqiang pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "Implement the military rank system, and  It won¡¯t be just us resisting the alliance, sooner or later the relevant troops will also implement it.¡±

    "Whether it is the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Eighteenth Group Army or the newly formed Fourth Army, all our troops are a whole. Some of the policies implemented by the Anti-Japanese Alliance will be implemented by the internal forces sooner or later. The Anti-Japanese Alliance first implemented a military rank system, but  This is because the environment and location of the Anti-Japanese Alliance are relatively stable, and there are certain conditions for implementing the military rank system.¡±

    "The implementation of the military rank system is a sign of an army moving from a guerrilla model to a regular one. As long as we want to implement regularization, the entire army will implement this system sooner or later. The difference is just earlier or later.  The troops have not implemented it yet because the conditions are not yet mature. When the conditions are mature, I think it will be implemented. "

    "If you want to say envy, there is indeed some envy. After all, this is an affirmation of a soldier's value, and this is definitely much easier than getting some medals from the headquarters. As you said, if I don't transfer to  Guan Nei¡¯s team work is at least one star higher than yours now.¡±

    "But work is work, and there is no room for negotiation. Didn't No. 1 say that if you want to be a brick of the revolution, you need to move it there? You also want honor, but you have to do your job well before. If you worry too much about gains and losses because of honor,  Not only will the gain outweigh the losses, but it will also miss important things.¡±

    ¡°For those of us who are commanders and staff, every stroke of our pen on the map is related to the lives and honor of thousands of cadres and soldiers.¡±??I have it too. A soldier without honor is not a qualified soldier, but if the sense of honor is too heavy, it will not only delay our personal gains and losses.  "

    Lin Zhiqiang's magnanimity revealed by his words made Yang Jicai admire him. At the same time, he did not discuss this issue in depth. The current battle situation on the front line of Straw Hat Mountain did not allow the two of them to have too much time to think about this matter.  It's not a problem yet.

    After the telephone line was re-erected, Lin Zhiqiang learned that the front line of Straw Hat Mountain had been under great pressure during last night's night battle. Except for the main peak 1613 highland and the two adjacent cover highlands on both sides, the rest  Almost all the covering positions were lost, especially a highland with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters in front of the main peak, which posed a great threat to the main peak position.

    After the Japanese and puppet troops captured this high ground, they spent a lot of time transporting several 92 infantry artillery pieces up the mountain and fired flatly at the front line of the main peak, causing great losses to the simple defensive positions on the main peak.  All the heavy machine gun positions simply constructed with sacks were destroyed by the Japanese 92 infantry artillery.

    Although it was on mountainous terrain, the flexibility of the Type 92 infantry cannon still allowed it to exert its greatest power. The Third Regiment concentrated its artillery fire several times in an attempt to destroy these Type 92 infantry cannons, but in the end it was attributed to its flexibility.  But it returned in vain, and a lot of shells were wasted in vain.

    This kind of gun is not as powerful as the mountain gun, but it is too flexible. With the wheels removed, it is not much higher than the Type 92 heavy machine gun. Coupled with the distance between the two sides, you will have no way to defend against a cannon.  This is why the Anti-Japanese Alliance has equipped itself with a variety of artillery with excellent performance, and has not completely eliminated the Japanese-style 92 infantry artillery. Coupled with the illumination bombs fired by the Japanese and puppet troops, the various fortifications on the position were damaged by the Japanese army.  There's no way to hide it from in front of you.

    After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, all the defensive positions on the main peak had been destroyed. The troops on the mountain could only rely on bomb craters and ruins to resist. Since the main peak position was too narrow, the third regiment commander had no choice but to resort to refueling tactics.  One company was crippled on the mountain, and another company was replaced.

    The disabled troops were unable to rest and regroup after they were withdrawn. They reorganized at the foot of the mountain and replenished guns and ammunition together with the personnel of the regiment's direct team. As a reserve team, they were ready to join the battle at any time. There was no way to have too few troops.  We cannot afford to fight a war of attrition.

    Not to mention that the people who had withdrawn from the mountain could not rest and recuperate, even the lightly wounded could only continue to fight. If the third regiment had not concentrated all the artillery fire allocated by Lin Zhiqiang, they would have covered the main peak position at all costs and fought with the Japanese and puppet artillery for the whole night.  In the battle, the limited strength of the entire Straw Hat Mountain has already been consumed by the Japanese and puppet troops' repeated attacks.

    Everyone in the Third Regiment knows that behind Caimao Mountain and across the Xiaoluan River is the grassland landform on Bashang. From there to the Keshiketeng Banner, which connects the lifeline of the advancing army and the Anti-Japanese Alliance, although it cannot be said to be a flat river, it is basically a flat river.  There is no danger to defend. The loss of Straw Hat Mountain means that the entire advancing army will be trapped in the mountainous area west of Rehe. It is almost impossible to even return to the old base in the pass. If Straw Hat Mountain is defended, it will be impossible.  It means holding on to the lifeline of the advancing army heading north.

    But no matter how strong the will to fight is, it still cannot make up for the disparity in strength and firepower when the difference in strength is too great. After the Japanese and puppet troops besieging the brigade headquarters retreated, the Japanese and puppet troops on the front of Straw Hat Mountain  Instead of retreating, they increased their troop investment.

    They concentrated their forces and launched an entire battalion charge on the main peak of Straw Hat Mountain. The fire support of the artillery was also greatly strengthened. The artillery shells that fell on the main peak in just one hour did not include the 92nd Infantry Artillery and mortars.  For light artillery, the mountain shells alone can reach two to three hundred rounds.

    After regaining contact with the main peak, Lin Zhiqiang realized that the main peak position was now in critical condition. The number of troops guarding the three highlands of the main peak was less than two companies. The effective strength of the three regiments had almost been exhausted, and most of the light and heavy machine guns were damaged.  The shells are also about to burn out their embers.

    After hearing the situation on the main peak, Yang Jicai looked at the latest progress of the Japanese and puppet troops marked on the map. He turned to Lin Zhiqiang, who was looking at the fierce battle on the main peak with a telescope and said with a gloomy face: "Old chief, put your troops on  Shrink a little, and put the main force on the 1123 highland on the right side of the main peak, except for the 1613 highland."

    "The 910 Highland on the right can be controlled directly with firepower. There is only a relatively flat mountain ridge connecting it with the 1613 Highland. Controlling it with firepower can maximize the effectiveness of our firepower. If we continue to fight like this  If we go down, the troops on the main peak will not be able to hold on for long, and they will be exhausted bit by bit by the Japanese and puppet troops."

    "At the same time, give me the 23-mm anti-aircraft gun and the 14-mm anti-aircraft gunThe machine gun looks for a position and lets them cooperate with your artillery to directly support the front-line battle. My rocket artillery concentrates its firepower on their second echelon. However, the number of 107 rockets in my hand is not much.  "

    "As for the 92 Infantry Cannons opposite the main peak, you don't have to worry too much. As long as the recoilless rifles and anti-aircraft machine guns can go up to the position, those 92 Infantry Cannons can't escape. I think they removed the wheels and moved them.  The position is fast, and the response speed of my recoilless rifle is fast. As long as we can hold on until the two cavalry regiments dispatched from the advancing army headquarters arrive, there will be more room for maneuver in the use of troops. No. 1 often said that the key is this  In the gritting stage, whoever can persevere will win the final victory.¡±
