The War of Resistance

The Japanese army continued to attack the front line of Baisha River.

The entire 51st Army was stretched thin on the nearly 100-mile defense line, and this battle naturally became a war of attrition. Although they inflicted great damage on the Japanese army with the idea of ​​being ashamed of life and proud of death, their motley army also gave people the feeling of being at the end of their rope.

But at this time, there were people from the Northeast Army who were watching the battle ahead from the commanding heights on the flanks of the battlefield, but had no intention of participating in the battle. They were members of the 337th Brigade Guard Company.

"Company Commander, do you think those little Japs are that evil? They used to be as vicious as jackals, but now they are as cunning as foxes. These Japs are getting harder and harder to fight." It was Chu Tian who spoke.

"Yes, they say that the little devils have dull tactics when fighting, but now they have learned to wear our Chinese clothes." Chen Hanwen echoed at the side.

"We all learn war in war." Shang Zhen, who was observing the battle situation in the distance with a telescope, answered casually.

Shang Zhen didn't know that the roads were converging. What he said was exactly the same as the experience summarized by others.

He really just said it casually, and now his attention is on the battlefield only a few hundred meters away from the stubborn people.

In his field of vision, the Japanese troops attacking up the mountain had all stood up, although they all maintained their shooting postures.

If such a situation can occur, there is no doubt that the defenders basically have no fighting capacity. Otherwise, with the combat quality of the Japanese army, it would never be possible for them to attack with guns in such a arrogant manner.

Shang Zhen moved the telescope forward again.

After another moment, he saw a man's head emerging from the trench.

But at this moment, the Japanese gunfire rang out, and then Shang Zhen saw that the man disappeared. He must have fallen into the trench, and then there was a "boom" more than ten meters in front of the trench. .

The explosion was quite loud. Based on Shang Zhen's experience, he knew that the explosion was probably a cluster grenade.

It was a pity that the Japanese troops were still some distance away from the trenches. When the smoke from the explosion dissipated, the Japanese troops who had been pointing their guns forward stood up again.

"How is the company commander?" Chen Hanwen asked in a low voice.

Shang Zhen sighed silently and did not answer.

Seeing Shang Zhen's solemn expression, Chu Tian poked Chen Hanwen with his hand. The meaning was undoubtedly, is there any need to ask?

As a veteran, Chen Hanwen should actually be able to guess the situation of the defenders. Maybe the reason why he had to ask Shang Zhen was just a fluke.

Chen Hanwen lowered his head, but after a while he raised his head again and said, "But I still want to reach out and join the battle. Looking at the brothers in front of me like that -"

"Take cover." Shang Zhen interrupted Chen Hanwen.

After a while, Shang Zhen continued: "It's only a matter of time before the position is lost. In the words of the two of you, holding the position is something you know you can't do.

Our mission now is to discover that group of little Japs in plainclothes, and then try to inflict maximum damage on them to avenge our brothers in the Northeast Army. "

Since Shang Zhen had said this, Chen Chaowen and Chu Tian had nothing to say, so the three of them lowered their heads and continued to observe the surrounding situation.

The reason why Shang Zhen said this was because they were looking for a Japanese army, and it was the Japanese army that destroyed Battalion Commander Wei's company.

According to the three surviving soldiers, the Japanese army should be a plainclothes team of the Japanese army.

Mentioning the plainclothes team always gives people the impression that they are just irregular troops fighting for the Japanese army. There are even traitors in them, pretending to be Chinese common people.

But this is absolutely not the case for this plainclothes team.

According to the accounts of the three surviving soldiers, this Japanese army consisted of more than 400 people, all dressed as ordinary people. It was unknown whether there were traitors among them, at least they did not see them.

At that time, Battalion Commander Wei and his company were on the position to block the Japanese army. During the battle, they discovered that someone was coming towards them from the flank.

However, there were not many people in the telescope, not the more than 400 people who were discovered later.

Those people were wearing ordinary people's clothes and had no guns. Moreover, after the group passed by their flank, they did not go back to attack their positions. They thought they were ordinary people fleeing and did not pay attention.

But who would have thought that the Japanese army attacking from the front would fire gas bombs at this time!

The Northeastern Army suffered greatly from the poisonous gas. They retreated when they saw the Japanese gas bombs coming.

But they didn't know that the gas bombs fired by the Japanese army were just a pretense. Just as Battalion Commander Wei led his men to withdraw from the position and entered a low area, they were ambushed by the Japanese army.

There are only about a hundred people in a company. When the Japanese gunfire started, they discovered that the opponent's strength was three or four times theirs.

Battalion Commander Wei and the others were originally inferior to the Japanese army in terms of military and firepower. Under the Japanese army's attacks from both front and rear, only the three soldiers managed to escape.

The whole battle went roughly like this.

Even if the three soldiers did not deliberately exaggerate the battle, Shang Zhen could still imagine their determined and desperate eyes when Battalion Commander Wei and more than a hundred Northeastern Army soldiers were surrounded by the Japanese army.

Surrounded by the superior force of the Japanese army, they were in a mountain col with enemies on all sides, and there was no possibility of breaking out. Then one after another soldiers fell down in the explosion of Japanese bullets and grenades. .

At that time, these three soldiers reported to the brigade commander Liu Chengyi in person.

Liu Chengyi then ordered Shang Zhen's security company to find ways to severely damage the Japanese army.

Although there is an idea of ​​revenge, it is also conceivable that if such a Japanese army is left, it will really be a big disaster for the Northeast Army!

Whether it is a campaign or a battle, there are strategic and tactical considerations.

The elimination of this Japanese army is strategic, but the specific method of destroying this Japanese army is tactical.

As an executor, Shang Zhen naturally has to abandon the interference of non-combat emotions such as anger and impulse.

After receiving Liu Chengyi's order, he began to carefully ask the three soldiers about the entire battle process.

After questioning, Shang Zhen learned that the wind in the position where Battalion Commander Wei was guarding was not very strong at that time.

Then the problem arises.

The gas bombs fired by the Japanese army will spread slowly if the wind force is low. If the poison gas spreads slowly, it will not be able to force the defenders to retreat.

So the poison gas bomb fired by the Japanese army was really just a cover. It seems that the ambush during the retreat of the company led by Battalion Commander Wei was the real killing move!

And this shows that this group of Japanese soldiers are really cunning!

Shang Zhen didn't know whether he could complete this task. First, there is no telling whether the Japanese army can be found. Second, even if it is found, it will be a difficult problem how to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army when the enemy is strong and we are weak.

But no matter how difficult it is, Shang Zhen knows that he must lead his own people to do it!

From a large perspective, this Japanese army was too harmful to the Northeast Army. If they could not inflict heavy damage, how many casualties would this Japanese army inflict on the Northeast Army.

From a small perspective, this is also a battle to establish the name of my security company.

If the security company doesn't protect the brigade headquarters and the commander tries to sneak out, does that mean he doesn't want to fight positional warfare?

If you run away when you see that the task is difficult, then how can people like you have the nerve to go out and take the initiative to fight the Japanese? Wouldn't that really make him a veteran?

Suppose, if we can really find this Japanese army, then the opponent is a tiger, and people like us will have to pull off a few beards for it!

Otherwise, I will not be able to get over this hurdle in my heart. To put it more seriously, this is called military honor, the honor of Chinese soldiers. If you lose this honor, it will really be worse than death. On the contrary, for this For this honor, I would rather die!

Shang Zhen also discussed with the veterans in order to find the Japanese army. Their method was to spread out the people on the battlefield and try to find the Japanese army as early as possible.

After discovering the traces of the Japanese army, Shang Zhen would gather the guard company together in order to attack the Japanese army.

Of course, these are only preliminary ideas, but at least now it seems that there is no trace of the Japanese army on the battlefield where Shang Zhen's group is located, and it is not known whether other groups have discovered it.
