My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 220 Unified Command

At 11:09, the Japanese launched a second wave of attacks.

The roar of the guns echoed on both sides of the Nujiang River, and Liao Mingyu, who was standing on the defense line of the lower water line, could not help showing a smile.

He also heard the trash talk from that troll Long Wenwen just now. This guy really knows how to make troubles. Even a calm person like Takeuchi Lianshan can't stand being insulted like this.

"Regimental Commander, Deputy Commander Long just sent an urgent telegram. The Japanese army's attack came from the reverse slope of Nantianmen. He asked the Artillery Battalion to provide artillery support in time if necessary." The communication soldier brought the telegram.

Liao Mingyu put down his binoculars and glanced at the content of the telegram. Long Wenwen's meaning was very simple. Since the Japanese army attacked from the reverse slope, his defense center would also shift to that direction.

"Notify Li Liansheng immediately, and keep an eye on the front of the tree fort. Once the Japanese army launches an attack, it will immediately cover it with maximum firepower." Liao Mingyu then ordered.

At this moment, Yu Xiaoqing, who arrived in a hurry, strode towards him: "Commander Liao, Master Yu is ready, do I need my three main groups to go up now?"

After the officers came back, Yu Xiaoqing immediately asked them to return to their respective units to prepare for the attack, and telegrams from the military headquarters filled the communication department like snowflakes, all of which were orders asking him to stop the attack.

Including his father who blew up the phone, but Yu Xiaoqing can't control so much anymore, let's break it up, the general's foreign military order will not be accepted, and you officials and masters should look at it with admiration when Nantianmen is taken down. .

"Let the first main force cross the river. The fight on the top of the mountain is fierce. We should put some pressure on Takeuchi head-on." Liao Mingyu said with a smile, this time Young Master Yu finally got tough.

"Okay, the first group will cross the Nu River within 20 minutes!"

Yu Xiaoqing said categorically, since she has decided to go all the way to the dark, there is nothing to hesitate.

"However... Master Yu, I'm afraid we have to add up the command power of our troops first. After all, the two teams have never cooperated before. If there is no coordination and cooperation, it will easily cause unnecessary losses."

Liao Mingyu suddenly thought of this key issue. Although the two of them could give instructions to the troops through the walkie-talkie at any time, when an emergency happened, a unified order was needed for the troops to respond quickly.

After hearing these words, Yu Xiaoqing was obviously a little hesitant. He wanted to take command when he came up. It would be a lie to say that he was not intimidated, but it would be petty to say that he didn't agree.

With a chuckle, Liao Mingyu seemed to see through his thoughts, and said indifferently: "My third battalion commander also graduated from Whampoa, and also studied at the Virginia Military Academy in the United States. He was the one who defended Zhongbatan when the Japanese army attacked you last time." , I can rest assured that the front-line troops will be entrusted to him to command you."

"Unexpectedly, your Sichuan Army has a lot of talents." Yu Xiaoqing sighed sincerely.

There's just a bold and talented deputy commander, another high-achieving student from a major, and a group of well-equipped elite soldiers. It's hard to imagine that the combat effectiveness of this army is not high.

Why don't I have so many talents? Thinking about those unsatisfactory team leader Yu Xiaoqing, I was so angry.That's all, it's just a little face, the command is given to him.

"I will order the troops of the Crossing River to obey the command of your battalion commander, and all the troops of the Yu Division will be dispatched by you."

Taking a deep breath, Yu Xiaoqing said something that he himself did not believe.

"I will discuss with you the deployment of the troops. I am not the only one responsible for this battle, but the command of the front line must be handed over to him. You know, there is no room for any mistakes in this battle."

Liao Mingyu seriously said that since Yu Xiaoqing knew the general situation so well, he also saved face for each other in terms of words, and everyone knew it was for the same purpose anyway.

The latter nodded silently, looking into the distance, except for the fierce battle on the top of the mountain, the second defense position on the opposite bank, which had been plowed by artillery fire, was surprisingly quiet.

"The Allied air support is coming soon, we can take this opportunity to continue our attack on the mountain." Yu Xiaoqing said slowly.

"Five to six thousand people are entrenched on this mountain, how can they be so easy to fight, let's waste them first." Liao Mingyu squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully, no sadness or joy could be seen in his deep eyes.

"Communications, inform Chen Jize to proceed as planned and occupy Banshanshi!"

"Yes! Leader"

……

At present, there is not a single Japanese soldier on the first line of defense. The Japanese army has all retreated to the second defense behind Banshan Rock, waiting for the attack of the Sichuan-Yu coalition forces in various fortresses.

But Chen Jize didn't panic, and ordered the soldiers to clean up and destroy the corridors of the Japanese army one by one, and perfect the fortifications behind the entire first defense position.

Under the leadership of Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang respectively, the Yu Division's Guard Battalion and the Secret Service Battalion cooperated with the Third Battalion of the Sichuan Army to strengthen the control of the area, but the soldiers of the Yu Division couldn't bear the desire to attack.

"Chen Battalion Commander, all the little devils have retreated halfway up the mountain, shall we not fight?"

He Shuguang couldn't understand what Chen Jize was thinking, why didn't he continue to attack while his morale was high, instead he built a defensive position at the foot of the mountain.

"No hurry, our task is to occupy and hold the first defense, and this task will not change until the commander's order comes down." Chen Jize replied calmly.

"If you don't fight, then we can continue to attack, brother! How about we attack when your first main force comes over?"

He Shuguang curled his lips, secretly thinking that he was just a person who obeyed orders, and he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous in his heart, and ignored him, and immediately cast a questioning look at Zhang Lixian.

Zhang Lixian was also a little moved. It stands to reason that the fight on the top of the mountain was fierce and attracted the attention of many little devils. Now is a good time for a large-scale attack.

Moreover, there were not too many casualties in attacking the first defense, and Master Yu who entered the field at the end was even more intact, which invisibly gave him some inexplicable confidence.

Ever since he became the head of the first regiment, he has not made any achievements. Others said that he was not promoted from the teacher seat, so how could he have achieved what he is today.So Zhang Lixian has been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself, and isn't this the best opportunity?
"I advise you not to be so anxious. Everyone knows the defense of the Japanese army on the top of the mountain. Rushing up now will only cause unnecessary casualties."

Looking at Zhang Lixian who was about to make a move, Chen Jize shook his head and tried to dissuade them, not because he cared about their lives or deaths, but because he was worried that this would affect the future plans of the group leader.

"There is no need for your army to worry about this aspect. Marching and fighting are full of energy, then decline, and then exhaust. Now our morale is booming, and it is a good opportunity to attack decisively."

Zhang Lixian is already full of fighting spirit, so he can't listen to other people's opinions at this moment: "He Shuguang, go down and arrange the guard battalion and spy battalion, report to the division, and say that we will attack immediately after the regiment crosses the river. It's up to them to fight."

"understand!"

Chen Jize didn't say anything more, just sat on the bullet box and watched coldly.It's hard to persuade the ghost with good words, and he doesn't bother to care about these two impulsive young officers with his cold temper.
