The War of Resistance

There is a very famous joke in later anti-war dramas called "Bring me my Italian cannon"!

That means that in order to save his wife, Li Moulong, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, couldn't defeat Ping'an County, so he finally used that Italian cannon to decide the outcome with one shot!

This shows the role of artillery in current wars.

Everyone knows that the Japanese and puppet troops built many strong bunkers during the war, but the anti-Japanese forces lacked weapons to attack fortresses. What if they were given an Italian cannon at this time? In other words, don’t use Italian guns, even if you have a 60mm mortar, try again

Shang Zhen has been leading his people in guerrilla warfare. They fought many battles with the Japanese army, but rarely encountered Japanese infantry artillery.

The reason was naturally that they had already fled before the Japanese army could move the infantry artillery.

But this time, for some unknown reason, the Japanese army actually moved all the Bron cannons over. This is really shocking!

Fang Zhen's reminder was timely. Just when they came down from the observation tower and turned halfway behind the pastry, the Japanese army's second artillery shell came.

But this time, the shell accurately landed on the wooden building above the lookout platform.

Amidst the explosion, they clung to the high elevation, and the wood and stone debris blown up by the explosion rained down above their heads.

Fortunately, they were now on the back wall of that high point, similar to the reverse slope of the mountain, and the exploding things flew down from above their heads.

"Don't move, just hide here!" Shuangzheng called again, promptly stopping Xu Lang who wanted to run down.

At this time, the lighter stone chips and dust that were blown up were scattered all over the sky, and several people were instantly disgraced.

Shang Zhen's idea certainly makes sense.

But this time he was wrong. It seemed that the Japanese army's official first shot was just to establish their prestige, and then the artillery fire was transferred.

It was impossible to tell what target the Japanese army was aiming for. The shells fell randomly on the top of the mountain. Most of them landed in the open space, but one of them hit a house. As a result, that thatched house was not very strong in the first place. , half of it collapsed in the explosion, and one actually fell on the toilet that the bandits usually used.

The toilet was not big, but after this shot, the toilet completely disappeared!

"What on earth are the Japanese going to do?" Xu Lang murmured, seeing such a big battle for the first time.

Xu Lang didn't know, but Shang Zhen knew that after the shelling, the Japanese army should attack!

"As the captain, let's fight like this, and you let all your men shoot at the Japanese devils on the other side of the ditch.

You don't have to hit it, you just need to retract it quickly after taking one shot.

Shen Mugen, call our people here, and we'll use rifles to shoot down the Japanese who attack up here. "Shang Zhen came up with a battle plan.

But before Shen Bu could follow suit, Xu Lang stopped: "Why are we, the Eighth Route Army, in the front and you hiding behind?"

"You guys can shoot as accurately as we can?" There's no need to go into battle and speak. Qian Chuan'er retorted directly, "Besides, our battalion commander also said, no need, if you really fight the Japanese, you only need to shoot down the mountain. The real people who fight the Japanese are us, because our veterans have accurate marksmanship."

"Then how can we go to the other side of the ditch and fight? Once the Japanese rush up, how can we retreat?" Xu Lang objected again.

"Isn't there a wooden plank on top? If you can't stop the Japanese army, you can withdraw directly from the wooden plank.

If you are fighting the Japanese in the front, it is fake. It is just to attract the attention of the Japanese army. We are the real killers in the back. "Qian Chuan'er explained again.

"It's easy for you to say it, but what if the Japs throw grenades into the ditch?" Xu Lang still disagreed.

What kind of talent is suitable to be a commander? In fact, there are two people. One is that I don’t understand anything, so I will leave it to the people below. You can handle the work, I don’t worry. The other one naturally understands everything.

Then, the most troublesome thing is meeting a dabbler like Xu Lang.

You say he doesn’t understand, but he understands a little bit.

If you want to say that he understands everything, he is still far from it.

"Governor Xu, I think Battalion Commander Shang's battle plan is feasible. There is no way to fight without sacrifice. I agree with this battle plan, and I want to be with the comrades of the district team." Seeing Xu Lang say something that he didn't agree with, Wang Chuan finally spoke.

When Wang Chuan said this, Captain Zhang also expressed his position: "Looking at it now, we will definitely not be able to fight against the Japanese. This method of Battalion Commander Shang should be the most reasonable."

"Comrade Wang Chuan, Captain Zhang, I want to remind you two that I am the supreme leader here." It is obvious that Xu Langzhen and Wang Chuan are not happy?

"How about this, Qian Chuan, you take a class of us together with our comrades from the Eighth Route Army to hold the front, and we shoot from behind." Sang Bao glanced at Xu Lang, and he was already tired of this Xu Lang. It was clear, but he knew that now was the time for everyone to unite, so he suggested again.

"You don't need to be in the same class, just a few of you can come over. After all, you are veterans with rich combat experience. You will know how to deal with emergencies when encountering them." Wang Chuan expressed his position again, and then he turned to Xu Langdao, who still wanted to express his objection, " Although Director Xu is the top leader here, you do not have military command authority."

When Wang Chuan said this, Xu Lang's face turned red!

Wang Chuan is a steady person, and often neither agrees nor objects to some of Xu Lang's actions.

But now it is really different. Now, the Japanese army is attacking in large numbers, and everyone is facing the test of life and death.

Then Wang Chuan can no longer care about what Old Xu feels.

Wang Chuan is also a veteran, even a veteran with more experience than Shang Zhen and others.

He doesn't think that this trick of going into battle will definitely work.

Whether it is the people of Shangzhen or the people of the Eighth Route Army, they are all at the front and exchange fire with the Japanese army, so their sacrifice is foreseeable.

And the above combat plan is naturally reasonable, and it provides a variable. Wang Feng hopes that this variable can change the inevitable outcome of the positional war he foresaw.

But now that he has made such a statement, it is equivalent to breaking up with Old Xu. But in order to defeat the enemy, what is the use of the so-called vanity and face? The victory of the battle is the touchstone of a commander.

Seeing that Xu Lang stopped talking, Shang Zhen said, "Let's do it! Qian Chuan, when you are with the people in the district team, you must make full use of the ditch behind you. After all, the ditch can prevent guns and, to a large extent, artillery. You can handle it flexibly!"

But just as Qian Chuan was listening to Shang Zhen's order and starting to go down to command the battle in front, Xu Lang suddenly said, "Wang Chuan, Captain Zhang, you are violating the party's command!"

It is unknown how Wang Chuan will respond to Xu Lang's words, and Wang Chuan doesn't need to respond next, because Xu Lao's words directly irritated Tiancai, who has always had a good temper.

"You can't replace the Chinese Communist Party. What do you know? If we listened to our battalion commander at the beginning, would we still be blocked by the Japanese on the mountain after we went down the mountain?" Qian Chuan said.
