Base System of Bashu Heroes

Chapter 42 The Final Retreat

"Make breakfast for the Japanese, do you believe me?" Liu Tianchu replied with a wicked smile.

"Bullshit!" Xi Zai certainly didn't believe it.

Liu Tianchu did not explain to him, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Good brother! You have worked hard these days. After coming down from the mountain, you have to go to Dangtu to help Liu Ling cross the river. After Liu Ling crosses the river, he will walk with the scholar and never leave.

Understand?"

Xi Zai laughed. "Don't act like a girl. I know how to do it. If it's you, be careful."

Liu Tianchu's eyes were a little hot. The relationship he had built up through life and death gave him the urge to cry for the first time. "Don't worry about me? Who am I? I can beat a big cockroach with iron, and I have a strong ability to survive!"

After Liu Tianchu finished speaking, the two of them turned around at the same time. The scream of artillery shells tearing the air came from the sky, dozens of artillery shells whizzed past, and the Japanese artillery fire came again with overwhelming force.

Liu Tianchu pushed Xi Zai and shouted loudly: "Go down the mountain immediately to pick up Liu Ling in Dangtu. We'll see you in Jiangbei." Xi Zai didn't care to say goodbye, turned around and ran down the mountain. Liu Tianchu also hurried to the command post. As he ran, Liu Tianchu looked at the surrounding positions.

, there was no trace of anyone on the surrounding hilltop positions.

Liu Tianchu couldn't help but stop and looked back at Ronghua. "Uh! Where did he go?"

Ronghua pointed to the reverse slope of the position, and then introduced to Liu Tianchu: "The reverse slope tactics invented by Chen Jiaqi construct two positions, the reverse slope and the front position, with the ridge of the top of the mountain as the midpoint. When the Japanese artillery fires, the troops retreat to the reverse slope to avoid

The Japanese artillery fire stopped and they immediately entered the frontal position in front of the ridge."

Chen Jiaqi is a genius in defensive warfare. Liu Tianchu was secretly happy. He suddenly thought of Dongfang Zhenhua. Dongfang Zhenhua and Chen Jiaqi had very similar temperaments. They both had the demeanor of a Confucian general. I wonder what happened to Dongfang Zhenhua now.

, he braved the Japanese artillery fire and took out his walkie-talkie and called: "Zhenhua! Zhenhua! Please answer if you hear me?"

Dongfang Zhenhua's slightly tired voice came from the intercom: "Sir, what are your instructions?"

Liu Tianchu was happy: "You're not dead, that's great! That's great! Where are you now?"

"I am in the Sheyang area. The patrol ship was severely damaged by Japanese artillery fire during the breakout. It is currently unable to sail. I am repairing it with my mechanical crew!"

"It's good that you're fine." Liu Tianchu couldn't control his joy. "Deputy Commander Tang has gone to Lianyungang to take over the defense. You can go to Rizhao. When you arrive in Rizhao, contact the scholar and he will help you deal with it."

When Liu Tianchu and Dongfang Zhenhua were talking on the phone, Japanese artillery fire was still raging, and Dongfang Zhenhua clearly heard the explosion coming from the other party's intercom.

"I have asked the scholar for help, and he is on his way. How is your place? It's very difficult!"

In the bomb-proof cave, Liu Tianchu leaned against Ronghua, making himself as comfortable as possible, and said in a slow tone: "You ran out even when the Third Fleet was heavily surrounded, and you were still afraid that I wouldn't be able to escape."

?Don’t worry! If your kid can’t die, I won’t die either. The navy hasn’t been established yet?”

Dongfang Zhenhua's hearty laughter came from the intercom: "Sir, I'm waiting for you in Rizhao, don't let me down."

Liu Tianchu's expression stiffened for a moment, and when he saw Ronghua looking at him, he quickly turned his head. "As a gentleman, no... see you there or not!"

While the two were talking, the Japanese artillery fire had stopped. As soon as the Japanese artillery fire stopped, the Sichuan army on the reverse slope quickly crossed the ridge and entered the frontal position.

This should be the last attack by the Japanese army before dark. The Japanese army down the slope still pulled a long line of skirmishers and searched forward in a triangular formation. Liu Tianchu, who was looking through the telescope in anger, yelled: "A thousand-year-old turtle and ten thousand

In the little Japan of 2000, infantry tactics were extremely rigid. The triangular formation on the hillsides that had not changed for 10,000 years was still used in the woods. Veterans who had fought for half a year knew that they were looking for death!"...

Jiang Hui'an, who was standing next to her, angrily interrupted: "We are still the ones who can lose!"

"It's not us! It's them!" Liu Tianchu retorted angrily.

Jiang Hui'an nodded silently. What Liu Tianchu said was true. The Sichuan army held back the Japanese army in Nanjing for more than a month with a meager force. No one else could have done it. With such a record, they can be proud of it. It would be an honor to withdraw.

As he spoke, the Japanese army had entered the shooting range. Chu Tianbang in front of the position looked in the direction of Liu Tianchu. After half a month in the stable, Tianbang was much smarter. Just as Jiang Huian was about to give the order, his raised arm was pressed down by Liu Tianchu.

As the situation continued, Liu Tianchu was deeply impressed by the sight of the Japanese army losing command and still fighting on their own. He wanted to see Chu Tianbang, the regiment commander's ability to handle emergencies in front of the formation.

The Japanese army was already less than 400 meters away from the position, but Liu Tianchu still refused to give the order. Chu Tianbang became really anxious and shouted at the intercom: "Batalion Commander, the Japanese are coming up."

Liu Tianchu from the headquarters did not answer. Rong Hua, who was standing next to him, pulled his clothes and reminded him: "Sir, are the Japanese coming up?"

"I know!" Liu Tianchu said calmly, "What are you busy with? The sky stick in the Niushoushan position was not fired until it was 100 meters away. Now it is more than 400 meters away. Is there still a long way to go?"

"Can it be the same? Niushou Mountain is an ambush battle. You are not afraid of losing your position. Now it is a position battle, sir! What should you do if the Japanese army charges into the position? Are there two echelons behind the Japanese army?" Rong Hua defended with a red face.

"You all know the difference between positional warfare and ambush warfare? This is basic common sense. It depends on what Tianbang will do!" Liu Tianchu answered the question with a smile.

"Are you joking with a soldier's life?"

Liu Tianchu retorted disapprovingly: "Soldiers put their lives in the hands of their commanders, and the commanders are responsible for their lives. Is this a good commander? Or should we just wait and see what Tianbang does?"

Liu Tianchu always went against the grain and acted contrary to common sense. Even if he tested the qualifications of a regiment leader, he would not use the lives of so many soldiers to make fun of him. Under his pressure, Kang Heizi had already lost an arm, and now it was like this again. Ronghua was so angry that he threw away his hand.

The Chutian stick on the position lived up to Liu Tianchu's expectations. Seeing that the command headquarters still refused to issue an order, under the urging of several battalion commanders, his bad temper came back. With a wave of his hand, the general machine gun took the lead in firing: "Brothers! Fire!

"

Long and short guns opened fire at the same time on the position. Jiang Hui'an's 133rd Division and the Guards Brigade were units that had completed the reloading. Their light firepower was much stronger than that of the Japanese army. Type 37 semi-automatic rifles and assault rifles were attacking the fortifications occupied by the Japanese army.

, the firepower of one squad can easily suppress the firepower point of a Japanese bunker, making it impossible for the Japanese troops in the bunker to fire.

The rain of bullets on the position hit the attacking Japanese troops head-on. The Japanese troops fell to the ground one after another, and the surviving ones were pinned on the mountainside unable to move. Most of the Japanese troops in the first echelon were lost in the blink of an eye. The sharpshooters in the foxholes began to calmly clean up.

A fish that slipped through the net.

The first echelon was pinned on the mountainside, and the second echelon, which followed the first echelon, continued to attack under the cover of more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles. Jiang Hui, who was at the command post, was happy: "Son, the little devil has been gone for almost half a month.

You dare to use tanks, what happened today?"

"Why?" Liu Tianchu next to him asked.

Jiang Hui'an put down the telescope and turned around, proudly saying: "Afraid of our bazooka rocket launcher! The bazooka has been called a magical weapon by the soldiers. It can destroy Japanese fortifications and hit tanks with accuracy, especially the incendiary bombs. It is so powerful.

, attach it to the tank and burn it.”

"Where are the powerful ones at the back?" Liu Tianchu snickered. He had to admire the scholar for always being able to maximize the current crude weapons, which were simple and practical.

The sun has set in the west, and there is a gorgeous sunset in the sky. It will get dark soon. Liu Tianchu said to Jiang Hui'an: "Commander, I will go to Xiaguan Pier to prepare first. After dark, you can lead your troops to Xiaguan to make arrangements for the aftermath.

I will take the security battalion to Xiaguan to meet them, and we must go to Jiangbei tonight."

Jiang Hui'an hesitated: "Go to Xiaguan to cross the river? Isn't it better to cross the river where you are?"

Crossing the river on the spot? Liu Tianchu was stunned for a moment. It was indeed a good idea, but the boats had already gone to Pangtu and only the pontoon bridge could pass? The artillery fire at Wulong Mountain was several times more violent than the artillery fire at Xiaguan. The danger can be imagined. "Tuanzuo's

Do you mean you can’t bear to leave your brothers behind to deal with the aftermath and be surrounded by the Japanese army?”

"On the one hand, by crossing the river on the spot, there is no need to abandon the Wulongshan position until the last moment, and the safety factor of the troops crossing the river is greatly improved."

Jiang Hui'an's method was feasible, so Liu Tianchu said to Chu Tianbang: "After repelling the Japanese attack, take over the Wulong Mountain and Mufu Mountain forts and cover the 133rd Division's crossing of the river."

Jiang Hui'an smiled mysteriously: "No need, just defend on the river beach. I have made arrangements."

Rong Hua and Liu Tianchu looked at him suspiciously. Is there an arrangement? What arrangements can be made amid the heavy siege by the Japanese army?
