my bright sword career

Chapter 339

Brigadier Chen stood at a hidden observation point, holding up his binoculars and kept observing the position ahead. A dark-faced man and several staff officers stood silently behind him without speaking.

After a long time, Brigadier Chen put down the binoculars and asked without looking back, "What's going on with Xinyituan?"

A staff officer stood up and said: "Brigade Commander, the new regiment reported 10 minutes ago that they have advanced more than 500 meters and captured the first position on the left wing. The 363rd regiment of the seventh division has also advanced more than 300 meters. Everything is going smoothly now. .”

"Where's the Liantai militia?"

"The Liantai militia broke into the main position of the Japanese army and severely damaged the enemy's 5th Regiment. However, the resistance of the Japanese army was still fierce, especially the No. [-] position built by the Japanese army was quite strong. The devils also dug several anti-tank trenches in front of the position. As a result, the Liantai militia's attack was hindered."

Brigadier Chen was silent, and the dark-faced man at the side hesitated for a moment and then tentatively said: "Chief... what we said earlier was just a tentative attack, and it's almost here. Should we discuss it with Commander Gao and the others?" For a moment, stop the attack first?
After all, there is still a big battle to be fought in the future. If the casualties are too large due to this battle, it may be very detrimental to the next big battle. "

Brigadier Chen looked at the man for a long time without saying a word. He saw a layer of white sweat oozing from the man's forehead and said slowly, "Commander Wang, if I remember correctly, you seem to have a nickname called Wang Bold Bar?"

"Yes, Chief."

"Then can you tell me honestly, less than two hours after the start of the battle, our offensive is progressing very smoothly, and the casualties of the troops are almost negligible, why do you suggest retreating?"

"Chief...I...I..." Head Wang stammered for a while.

Seeing Commander Wang who kept saying a few words to me but couldn't answer, Brigadier Chen's face slowly sank.

"The king is bold!"

"To!"

"Report your name and position!"

"Wang Shidao, head of the 115th Regiment of the 685th Division of the Eighth Route Army, reports to you!"

"Oh... so it's Captain Wang. If you didn't tell me, I would have thought you were the division commander now, but you openly questioned the decision of the Joint Command and ordered me." Brigadier Chen's voice was not serious. Big, but it scares Wang boldly into a cold sweat.

"It's not... Chief, I dare not question you even if I kill you."

"Then what do you mean? Now our friendly forces are fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, but you suggest that I retreat. Do you know the consequences of doing so?

To put it lightly, it is timid and cowardly to retreat before the battle, and to say it more seriously, it is to put the safety of allies at risk and flee before the battle. Do you know the serious consequences of doing so? "

Wang boldly lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "Chief, I didn't say that I would evacuate without authorization. If I really evacuate, I should always inform the group leader Gao and the others."

"fart!"

Brigadier Chen scolded, "You are also a veteran, and you should know the consequences of changing the battle plan without authorization. We originally agreed to fight together, but the current battle situation is obviously in our favor. If you suddenly propose to withdraw, what will your friendly forces think? What will they think of us?
Let me tell you, Wang Daudao, if you are a soldier of our 386 brigade, based on your suggestion just now, I have a reason to dismiss you! "

After being scolded by Brigadier Chen for a while, Wang Daudao only felt that his back was soaked. .

Seeing Wang Bold, who was almost hanging his head into his crotch, Brigadier Chen's tone softened a bit, "I know, you are from Jiangxi, and your family members were killed during the anti-encirclement campaign, and you have no good opinion of the Kuomintang from the bottom of your heart. .

I can understand this, but you have to understand that our primary goal now is to resist Japan, and everything else can be put aside for this purpose.

You should understand the reason why brothers fight against the wall and defend against their insults from outside. If you still can't figure it out, I will immediately transfer your regiment back to Gaojiazhuang and let the 686 regiment take over for you. "

"Chief, I was wrong." Wang boldly felt ashamed after being scolded, "I shouldn't bring my personal emotions to work, and I will never do it next time."

Brigadier Chen snorted softly, and his face softened a lot: "It's good to know that you are wrong, you go down and prepare. The biggest problem of the Liantai militia is the lack of troops. There is only one battalion following the tank attack. You should go to Commander Gao right now. Report there to see if there is anything he needs help with.

If there is, you just stay there and listen to Commander Gao, understand? "

"Yes!"

Wang boldly raised his chest, paid a military salute and left quickly.

With the attack of the Chinese army, the Japanese army reacted immediately as if they had been stabbed in a hornet's nest.

Anda 37, the head of the 23th Division, immediately dispatched two infantry regiments to rush over to both sides of the Ninth Brigade.

Anda 23's calculations are very good. The Ninth Brigade has basically built three lines of defense these days. No matter how unbearable it is, it will not be a problem to persist for a long time.

As long as the Ninth Brigade can withstand the opponent's attack, his reinforcements will be able to arrive immediately, and then they will be able to join the Ninth Brigade and even launch a counterattack.

Brigadier Chen, who returned to the headquarters from the observation post, saw that all the staff officers in the huge headquarters were constantly busy. Tang Huaiyuan was lying in front of the sand table, talking with Gao Hongming, Chi Yaohui and several staff officers.

He walked over and asked curiously: "Commander Tang, Commander Gao, what are you discussing?"

Tang Huaiyuan raised his head, "Brigade Commander Chen, you came just in time, we just received an aerial reconnaissance report, and the 37th Division of the Japanese Army mobilized two regiments to come around from the left and right wings.

Head Gao and I originally wanted to notify the air force to start bombing these two wings, but the air fleet just went back to refuel, and it will take at least two or three hours to return. Head Gao and I are discussing countermeasures. "

"Oh……"

Brigadier Chen hurried over.

Tang Huaiyuan gave up a place, and pointed to the sand table with a small wooden stick, "Here and here, the two regiments of the Japanese army are expected to arrive in half an hour."

Brigadier Chen looked at it for a while, and frowned slightly: "Commander Tang, Commander Gao, once the reinforcements from the two regiments of the Japanese army arrive and meet up with the Ninth Brigade, we want to take down the Japanese positions quickly. The plan is bound to fail, and this battle is bound to be dragged into a protracted war, which is inconsistent with our previous plan."

"Yes." Tang Huaiyuan let out a long breath, "Commander Gao and I are also in a difficult situation. Right now we are launching the final attack on the Ninth Brigade, but now it seems that time is a little too late. Brigadier Chen, do you have any questions?" Any good idea?"
