Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1
"Boom..." More than a dozen mortar shells accurately hit the position and exploded.

Although the violent explosion failed to destroy the trench fortifications on the position, several Eighth Route Army soldiers who did not escape in time were still blown away!

The Japanese army, who had been blocked for nearly an hour, was determined to take down a regiment in the military sub-district, and the mortars of an artillery squadron fought for a full 10 minutes before stopping.

As soon as the shelling stopped, a squadron of devil soldiers lined up in a skirmish line, layer upon layer, and charged towards the groups.

"Regimental Commander, the devil is coming up!" A regiment headquarters, a staff officer shouted.

Holding the binoculars, the head of the regiment ordered with a gloomy face: "The devil's shelling just now was too ruthless, the second battalion must have suffered heavy losses! Let the third battalion go up!"

As soon as a staff officer rushed out of the command post to give an order, the head of the regiment followed him and ordered.

"The devil is going all out. He disabled our two battalions in an hour, and the third battalion won't last long. Please contact the commander immediately, political commissar, and ask the commander to transfer immediately!"

Yang Chengwu, the commander of the First Military Division, is an old general of the Red Army. He has never fought such a useless battle in such a long time as a soldier.

The chief of staff next to him was also full of anger, wishing he could go directly to the battlefield with a machine gun on his shoulder.But he knew that now was not the time to be arrogant.

Hearing the faint explosion coming from outside the city, he quickly reminded: "Commander, half of the regiment is recruits, and the little devil is also a cannon and an airplane. It is not easy to fight like this. We must hurry up and transfer, Otherwise, the whole group will be wiped out!"

Yang Chengwu was not reconciled, but still ordered: "The headquarters will withdraw from the county within half an hour, and the first regiment will retreat after half an hour! The second regiment will also move, harassing the devils in units of companies and platoons, so as to buy time for the headquarters to retreat."

"I don't agree. After the Second Regiment is sent out, there is only one guard company left by your side. What should you do if you encounter devils?" The chief of staff immediately objected.

"Isn't there still a recruit company? There are so many people in the headquarters who can fight, so execute the order immediately!" Yang Chengwu ordered decisively, without any room for negotiation.

Everyone in the headquarters is busy packing up and preparing to transfer, very busy.

In this case, a silent figure suddenly caught the attention of the guard company commander who was organizing everyone to transfer.Wang Ping, the operational staff officer of the headquarters, stood motionless in front of the map.

The guard company commander hurriedly reminded Yang Chengwu, who was also busy beside him,
"Commander, did Staff Officer Wang's mind burnt out two days ago? Since he recovered, he seldom speaks. He's still staring at the map at this time."

After glancing at Wang Ping's slightly thin body, Yang Chengwu shook his head and said affirmatively: "He has survived the Long March, and a fever will definitely not do anything to him."

Speaking of this, Yang Chengwu actually showed a sad expression on his face, and continued: "This Wang Ping came out of the Red Army School before the Long March, and was also a battalion instructor. After the Long March, the troops were seriously downsized, and then he was assigned to the regiment. Be a staff officer."

"Because my health was not good, I had a high fever when I crossed the snow-capped mountains. Although I survived in the end, because of the lack of medicines, I fell into the root of the disease that I was prone to fever as soon as the temperature dropped. Well, this is all in the past, so I won't mention it. .”

"Go and remind him, pack up your things and prepare to transfer."

After the company commander of the guard called Staff Officer Wang, Wang Ping still didn't speak. He just nodded his head to show that he knew, and then began to sort out the map swiftly.

At this time, neither Yang Chengwu nor the guard company commander realized that the reason why Wang Ping had been silent for the past two days was not because his personality had changed drastically and he didn't want to talk.It was because he dared not speak.

Although the Wang Ping that Yang Chengwu sees now has not changed, his soul is no longer the Wang Ping that Yang Chengwu knew before.

In order to avoid revealing any clues by talking too much, Wang Ping could only try not to speak for the past two days.

A few days ago, Wang Ping, who was suffering from the root cause of the disease, did have a high fever because of a temperature drop, and he almost couldn't survive it.Unexpectedly, just after graduating from the military academy in later generations, a Wang Ping with the same name and surname, because of an accident, somehow, his soul ran to the dying Wang Ping, making Wang Ping, who was supposed to see the king of Hades, come back to life.

Over the past two days, Wang Ping, who had been under the influence of his ears and eyes, gradually knew his identity and position.In order to prevent Yang Chengwu from becoming vigilant and discovering something, he could only pretend that he was recovering from a serious illness and didn't want to talk.

He had been staring at the map just now because he was very familiar with this period of history after graduating from a military academy.I want to further confirm the source of this battle in front of me and my understanding in later generations.

If there is no difference, then can I use my foresight to provide Commander Yang Chengwu with a lot of references to reduce the losses of some military regions.

In less than half an hour, the guard company escorted 400 people including the military sub-district headquarters and the field hospital to leave the county.

"Papa papa... da da da..."

As soon as the headquarters with hundreds of people left the county seat, there was a sudden burst of gunfire from the other side of the county seat.

Yang Chengwu frowned, and just as he was about to let the guards go to the back to see what was going on, the guard company messenger rushed past panting.

"It's the little devil, Commander, there are more than 100 devil cavalry chasing after him."

"Our company commander is leading two platoons to stop the attack. The company commander asked me to report: the devil cavalry is also equipped with machine guns and small cannons. Our firepower is too weak, and we must not last long. Please take everyone to the commander immediately. Transfer in the woods."

The chief of staff standing next to him was shocked at first, he didn't expect the devil to come so fast.

Then he said with a worried face: "It must be that the little devil's vanguard cavalry squadron was lucky enough to bypass the harassment troops we deployed. Commander, the cavalry is too fast. We must listen to the guard company commander Zhang and move to the forest immediately."

"The hundreds of people in the headquarters have almost no combat effectiveness. Once the devil cavalry catches up, the consequences will be disastrous."

The deputy chief of staff who was familiar with the terrain frowned and suggested.

"Commander, here is still four miles away from the forest, and now we can all enter the forest in half an hour. I don't know if the guard company can stop it. I will draw a platoon from the recruit company to deploy on the spot."

"If the little devil cavalry breaks through the position of the guard company, I will stop here. If it doesn't break through the position of the guard company, I will immediately lead the people to retreat and retreat into the woods together."

In order to ensure the safety of these people in the headquarters, the deputy chief of staff's proposal must be the best.

Of the team of hundreds of people, the doctors and nurses in the hospital accounted for one-third, plus the government officials, more than [-]% of the people were not equipped with weapons.Even if there are more than a hundred people left with weapons, they are either short guns or old sleeves eliminated by the main force.Not to mention fighting against the devil's elite cavalry, even fighting against the puppet army has no chance of winning.

Therefore, in any case, the devil cavalry cannot be allowed to catch up with the headquarters.

Of course, doing so might put the deputy chief of staff and the recruits who stayed behind in danger, but Yang Chengwu had no other way.

Just when he was subconsciously preparing to give an order, Wang Ping, who had barely spoken in the past two days, suddenly stood up and said in an astonishing way.

"Chief of Staff Zhou can't go. You have to assist the commander and the chief of staff to lead everyone to retreat. The commander must be surrounded by no one. I will stay and cover and make sure to block the Japanese cavalry units that may break through the defense line of the guard company."

"You?" Apart from Yang Chengwu, who was familiar with Wang Ping, everyone around had suspicious expressions on their faces.

Wang Ping continued without hesitation: "It's me. The commander knows that I was a company commander and an instructor before the Long March. There must be no problem in commanding a platoon."

Seeing the strong confidence on Wang Ping's face, Yang Chengwu directly showed a gratified expression.

Because, the Wang Ping in front of him seemed to have returned to the state when he first met him, confident and courageous.

First he nodded to confirm Wang Ping's words to everyone, and then ordered: "Okay, you go, the chief of staff will follow me to transfer. I will give you a recruit platoon, and no matter what, you must block the Japanese cavalry here for half an hour."
