Chapter 2: Streaming Light (Part 4) Just because Zhang Songling was replaced as the commander, the enemy's army changed from a second-rate local garrison to a first-line elite. This would somewhat inflate others' ambitions and destroy one's own prestige. Not only was Nie Rongzhen's temporary staff officer They, including many members of the referee team and military academy cadres, felt very unconvinced. However, when the offensive and defensive sides came into real contact, the resentment in their hearts quickly disappeared. It was too cruel and vicious. Under the command of Zhang Songling, the "Japanese troops" guarding the hilltop position simply turned into a group of demons, intercepting them with cold guns, grouping long-distance shooting, artillery coverage, and machine gun cross-blocking. From the front seven of the position, Within the range of 100 meters to 100 meters in front of the position, they almost used all the common and uncommon killing moves used by the Japanese on the battlefield alternately. Before they could advance to the distance where they could launch a charge, the attackers had already suffered a large number of casualties, especially It is a short section from 150 to 80 meters. Almost every step forward will cost you blood! And after entering the distance of 80 meters, the attackers are even more difficult to move, and each one is low. The bunker, like a fire-breathing monster, could take away the lives of an entire row of soldiers at any time. At the same time, the numerous grenades in the hands of the "Japanese Army" also began to exert their power, or blast at fixed areas. Bombing indiscriminately, or cooperating with each other to focus on a certain target, makes the "Eighth Route Army" unable to defend itself. As a famous general in hundreds of battles, Nie Rongzhen would certainly not be intimidated by this little trick. Artillery, heavy machine guns, and grenade launchers worked together to constantly fight back against the "Japanese troops" on the mountain. At the same time, he also sent a small number of elites to line up the enemy. Or as a squad unit, they move quickly along the defender's position, looking for blind spots in firepower and gaps in defense. They move around and move around, making the opponent panic. The number of casualties on both sides rose rapidly, and soon reached an alarming point. The actions of the commanders on both sides slowed down. Almost every move had to be carefully considered, and the tasks of the referee team also became It became more and more heavy, and almost every phased evaluation required long discussions, careful reference to past real battle cases, and consultation with a large number of onlookers before the final conclusion could be reached. "Give me all the artillery and focus on hitting the upper left corner of his position." After more than fifty minutes of repeated testing, General Nie Rongzhen finally found a flaw and began to use the only trump card in his hand that had an absolute advantage. The two Jin-made Type-13 artillery roared immediately, hitting a cluster of grenades weighing six kilograms at the corner of the "Japanese army" position. Zhang Songling and his staff were caught off guard and watched helplessly. A section of the position was riddled with holes. Before they could mobilize their reserves to block the holes, two platoons of Eighth Route Army soldiers had already shouted and launched a storm. In the blink of an eye, they were like sharp knives piercing the position. "Referee panel, we are applying for a phased evaluation." Looking at Zhang Songling and others sweating profusely, General Nie Rongzhen slowly sat upright, opened the lid of the military kettle, and took a siphon mouth to mouth. "At the position in the upper left corner, the defending side suffered more than three-quarters of its casualties. The two bunkers were completely damaged, and the tunnels were blocked by mud. They basically lost control of this position." The members of the referee team finally breathed a sigh of relief and lowered their heads. After some discussion, we quickly came to a conclusion. "We accept the referee's result." Zhang Songling nodded and admitted that he had lost a move. Then he gritted his teeth and loudly added, "We have activated the No. 1 contingency plan and asked the referee to evaluate it." "The No. 1 contingency plan," the referee said. The group members were slightly startled, and then they saw team leader Chen Hui running over quickly with an envelope prepared in advance and showing it to everyone in public. Inside the envelope was a piece of clean straw paper, on which the internal structure of most of the fortifications in the upper left corner was clearly drawn, as well as the specific directions of several traffic ditches. On several key points of the fortifications, red ink was used to draw heavily. Several cross symbols were marked and the text indicated that this was emergency plan one and its specific activation conditions. "You" classmate Zhou Xianjue, who is the chief referee, immediately turned red-eyed before reading the conditions, "How could you do this? There are at least two squads of your personnel remaining in that trench." " We are the Japanese commander now and have the power to decide what method to use to win." Captain Chen Hui responded loudly without thinking, "In addition, this is not the first time the Japanese have used similar tactics in the war. In their eyes. Here, this kind of sacrifice is definitely worth it." "This" Zhou Xianjue was speechless after being refuted, and had to turn his attention to the other referees. The students took turns watching the plan from Chen Hui's hand, and their eyes quickly turned red and they were furious. . "What's wrong? Can you show me too?" Seeing that the referee team was slow to make an assessment, Nie Rongzhen was a little curious and took the initiative to apply to watch the opponent's killer move. "Here." Referee Zhou Xianjue hesitated for a moment and sent someone toThe plan was handed to him, and then, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "This referee believes that although the defensive team's emergency measures are despicable, they are indeed effective methods. Therefore, it is proposed to determine that the plan is effective and the offensive team is in More than three-quarters of the combatants in this section had to voluntarily withdraw from the trenches. Now, all referees are asked to raise their hands. " "Agree." The referees hesitated for a moment and raised their hands. He raised his right hand. "After all the referees ruled based on the facts, the defender used the method of suicide bombing and used the remaining personnel in the trench to manually detonate a large number of explosives buried at the bottom of the trench, causing a large number of casualties to the attacker and forcing him to voluntarily withdraw from the trench. The position is abandoned and neither side can continue to use it in the future." The referee looked at the offensive organizers helplessly and announced loudly. "Ah!" The students watching the excitement immediately exclaimed. They all looked at Zhang Songling with fire in their eyes. In order to attack the attackers, they actually took the risk of planting explosives in the trenches and used suicide tactics at the critical moment. The "Eighth Route Army" in the trenches came and died. What kind of trick is this? What do you think of those brothers who fought hard in the fortifications? How can a commander who treats his own soldiers as human beings be allowed to exist in the army? ,. However, when thinking about the facts they had seen and heard before, everyone had to admit that indeed many crazy Japanese officers would use their own soldiers as cannon fodder and launch suicide attacks, especially when they were forced into a desperate situation. , it is possible to do any crazy thing. While everyone was talking about it, General Nie Rongzhen also quickly read the "Japanese Army's" emergency plan, stood up, and solemnly nodded, "We accept the referee results and apply to continue with the next step of the deduction." "Agree, please both sides continue to the next step. Stage." The referee's heavy and cold voice announced that the "battle" will continue. At this time, the attacker's strategy became much more cautious. They no longer tried to win a quick victory. Instead, they made full use of the absolute advantage of troops and worked piecemeal to continuously reduce the living space of the defenders. However, the effect of this tactic was very slow. The Japanese devils The superb marksmanship and excellent soil work standards made the attackers' tactics more effective with twice the result, especially the two weird-shaped trenches. After Zhang Songling ordered a corner to be blown up, they were still functioning smoothly. The only difference from the previous ones was their appearance. A small piece is recessed inward, but all other functions are intact. "Uh-huh." Among the crowd watching the battle, a famous school official coughed in a low voice. It was already dark. If the stalemate continued like this, the battle might not end until midnight. And Commander Nie came to the school today, and there were many more Important things need to be dealt with, and it is impossible to spend precious time on sand table deductions. Chen Hui, who was standing next to Zhang Songling, raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes met those of the military academy cadres, and he quickly moved away. He understood the other party's hints and was willing to make some active concessions. After all, this was just a sand table deduction, and winning or losing had nothing to do with reality. Moreover, Zhang Songling was able to persist under General Nie Rongzhen for more than two hours without showing signs of defeat, which has already earned face for all the students in this period. Thinking of this, he first poked Zhang Songling with the index finger of his left hand, then grabbed a sorghum leaf representing the Japanese squad with his right hand, and gently pushed it out of the trench, "We" "Don't deliberately release water." Before Zhang Songling could express his stance, General Nie Rongzhen had already shouted He protested, "You little comrade, your stance must be firm, and you." His eyes quickly turned to the military school cadre who had coughed softly before, "Don't dampen the enthusiasm of the students, and don't underestimate my capacity." "No, No." The military school cadre and Chen Hui both blushed and quickly waved their hands to explain, "It's already dark, and the students have to study in the evening, so" "The second team attacked" Zhang Songling seemed not to hear the people around him. Voice, quickly snatched the sorghum leaves from Chen Hui's hands and continued to advance, "Target, the attacker's frontline command center, machine gun cover, mortars to distract the enemy troops on both sides and prevent them from coming to rescue, grenade launchers , create a barrage, the third team" "You" Nie Rongzhen frowned at first, and then realized that Zhang Songling's move was not a continuation of Chen Hui's previous behavior, and quickly organized manpower to focus on protecting his frontline commanders. , even so, his response was slightly delayed. When other soldiers scattered on the position rushed to the designated position at the risk of being killed by Japanese mortars, the frontline command post had already been occupied by the "Japanese Army" It was a mess. "We requested the referee team to conduct a phased assessment." "The referee team determined that the defender's counterattack was unexpected, the attacker's frontline headquarters was destroyed, and the main command personnel were injured. One company commander, one deputy battalion commander, and staff officers were killed. Two-thirds of the guard personnel were lost, and the Japanese army was unable to retreat and was completely wiped out by the attackers.¡±; The result is shocking, and it also makes people once again have a clear understanding of how spicy "Ji Zi Zhang" is. In order to disrupt the attacking side's command, he actually used one-third of his troops to take command of the other side. After this round of bloody battles, the offensive command was unable to maintain its previous efficiency. As the defensive side, they also completely lost their ability to counterattack and could only squat behind the fortifications and wait for help. "Call artillery, strike at the middle of the position between the first trench and the second trench, five rounds of rapid fire." Nie Rongzhen quickly recovered from the attack and readjusted his strategy based on the current situation on both sides. "Report, artillery shells, the artillery shells can only be fired for two more rounds." The student who served as a staff officer next to him had a frustrated face and explained to him truthfully. "Two rounds, just two rounds, throw out all the cannonballs." Nie Rongzhen waved his hand and made a resolute decision. Then, he took a few swigs of water and shook his head gently, "No need to apply for evaluation, his There are special anti-cannon holes in the fortifications, and the effect of two rounds of shelling is very limited. " "Yeah!" The trainees serving as staff nodded, looking at the opposite side with a mixture of hate and love. What they hate is that Zhang Songling is so disrespectful and forceful. Dragging Commander Nie and everyone into the endgame, what I love is that after this battle, the current military brigade of the Second Branch has completely made its name in the entire Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. From now on, when the Eighth Route Army selects military cadres, everyone will definitely is a priority. "Mortars bomb behind the attackers, machine guns intercept, grenades bomb the opponent's fire points, and infantry shoot in groups to kill the enemy's living targets." Zhang Songling did not care about other people's feelings at all, and continued to use a cold voice to create new targets for the attackers. trouble. "The result of this round of evaluation is that the attack failed, with the loss of one and a half squads of personnel, and the defensive side lost half of a team, and the fortifications in the lower right corner were scrapped." , the attacker retreated fifty meters, reorganized the soldiers, and prepared for the next round of fighting. " "The results of this round of evaluation" "The results of this round of evaluation" As the results of the rounds of evaluation by the referee team came out, this battle completely changed. After eating the mushrooms, the attackers were unable to annihilate the Japanese troops smoothly, and the defenders were unable to counterattack or break out. Seeing that it was already late, Nie Rongzhen took a long breath, stood up, and asked with a smile, "You little fat guy, just Are you prepared to keep fighting with me? If it were a real battle, I'm afraid the morale of the Japanese frontline troops would have been completely shattered by your repeated suicides. " "If it was a real battle, chief, you would have given the order long ago. It's time to withdraw from the battle, otherwise, as soon as the Japanese reinforcements arrive, you will never be able to escape safely." Zhang Songling also stood up, stretched his stiff limbs, and responded loudly. "Oh." Nie Rongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then he completely understood Zhang Songling's true intention. He pointed at his head and said with a smile, "You little guy, you never planned to win from the very beginning." "That's not right. , We have no intention of winning the battle on our own. In fact, as long as we are dragged into a stalemate, we have already won." Zhang Songling smiled and shook his head, full of confidence, "Leek box, leek box" around. The classmates made a loud noise and urged Nie Rongzhen to admit defeat. Zhang Songling's words were absolutely correct. The Japanese rarely gave up their troops who were deeply encircled. Once they received a distress call, they would definitely send a large army to support them. The Eighth Route Army's inferior supplies The supply level determined that it was difficult for their attacks to be sustained. They found that they could not quickly defeat their opponents, so they had to take the initiative to evacuate to avoid being blocked by Japanese reinforcements, which would outweigh the gains and losses. "Okay, I'm willing to admit defeat." Nie Rongzhen waved his hand and admitted defeat readily, "Let's go and eat the leek box together to satisfy ourselves."
