The War of Resistance

Old Mao Wang said, don't just sit here, think of a way if you have the time!

Shang Zhen looked up at him, the meaning in his eyes was clearly what can I do?

Old Mao Wang said, why don't you let our people dig a trench.

Shang Zhen didn't even look at him this time.

Wang Laomao saw that Shang Zhen ignored him, so he asked himself an answer. We are the guard company of the brigade headquarters, and the brigade headquarters is not fixed. Is it useful to dig fortifications now? Besides, even if the brigade headquarters doesn't move, do we need to dig fortifications now, do we have a pickaxe?

This time, the meaning in Shang Zhen's eyes became, knowing that you still ask? Don't fart let your throat go, oh, this is what Wang Laomao asked and answered in his heart.

Old Mao Wang said that if the fight continues like this, there will not be many people left.

Shang Zhen remained silent. Old Mao Wang didn't need to say this, anyone with eyes would see it.

At this time, Old Mao Wang seemed to be talking to himself, and he said, or we might as well drag us to the battlefield, everyone will have a good time, this slow knife stabbing people is even more uncomfortable!

Why don't we take advantage of the night and let the guards go out to plot against the little devils? Let's also learn from those death squads, with grenades strapped to our bodies and big blades in our hands. We don't lose money when we kill one devil. We earn one when we kill two, and we earn one when we kill three. We are heroes.

But that doesn't work, we are a security company and we have to protect the brigade headquarters. Seeing that Shang Zhen remained silent, Old Mao Wang asked himself an answer again.

It's no wonder that Wang Laomao and Shang Zhen are struggling here. They all saw the smoke and dust of the explosion ahead and thought that the Japanese army would come over soon, but who would have thought that the Northeast Army's brigades would fight back desperately. After occupying the position, they counterattacked and then regained it. They have been fighting like this for three days.

And the news kept coming from the front, and the news was really not good news. After a while, a certain regiment and a certain battalion were disabled, and after a while, a certain position was lost.

In other words, it was good news when it first came back, but it turned into bad news after a while.

For example, the good news is that the head of a certain regiment personally led the team to counterattack, and finally took back a certain position occupied by the Japanese army, but the news came back after a while that the head of the regiment died for the country!

Now Shang Zhen has figured it out. The area they are now in is a place called Lanling in the northeast of Taierzhuang. It is not only the 337th Brigade defending the Japanese army here, but the entire 51st Army of the Northeast Army is here.

There are several armies in the Northeast Army, and it is easy for outsiders to confuse them.

But of course Shang Zhen and the others knew about the 51st Army, just because they thought that when they stayed in Tianjin Wei to maintain law and order, they followed the orders of Yu Xiuzhong, the commander of the 51st Army.

Shang Zhen didn't know how many troops the 51st Army had now, but an army would have to have 18,000 soldiers.

It's just that Shang Zhen also knows that the Northeast Army is no longer the emaciated Northeast Army that just entered the customs eight years ago with a camel bigger than a horse.

The bad news kept coming back from the front made Shang Zhen feel that the current defense line of the 51st Army is like the game of blocking water with sand when he was a child. If there is a leak here, block it here, and if there is a leak, block it there.

But after all, the blocked sand is not as fast as the water. When there are many places washed away by the water, that is the moment when the whole line collapses.

They are all veterans, and everyone understands that there is no natural danger here. If the 51st Army's current firepower and weapons supplies are used to fight against the Japanese army who wants to avenge Taierzhuang, it will be a matter of time before they lose this defense battle.

As for other factions of the Chinese army, Shang Zhen has heard from brigade commander Liu Chengyi that there are, and there are quite a few of them, and they are not far away. zone.

For example, the Guangxi troops under the commander-in-chief of the theater, such as the 11th Army and the 21st Army, the combined strength of the three companies must be more than 200,000!

It should be said that the 51st Army is asking for reinforcements from the commander of the theater, but the commander of the Guangxi faction will never let his troops from the Guangxi faction come over.

To use another analogy, if the Central Army is someone’s legitimate son, the Northeast Army is the concubine of a foreigner, and the commander-in-chief is from the Gui family, then the Guangxi army is his direct son, and the Northeast Army is still a foreigner. Well, unless the commander is from their Northeast Army.

But why does someone let you be the commander of the Northeast Army? You all lost your own territory, let’s not care whether it is the third or fourth province in the Northeast, it’s all lost in your hands anyway, you are not qualified to be the commander-in-chief!

And think about the "remonstrance" made by the young commander. If you say that it is impossible for someone not to hold grudges, isn't that destroying someone's national policy of "restraining the outside world first"? ? Now that there is no security, the whole nation is fighting against Japan, which happens to run counter to someone's established policy!

Since the Guangxi generals who are the commanders-in-chief of the theater are unwilling to let their own people come to help the Northeast Army, they will discuss with other troops and say that you should go and help the 51st Army, one of the Northeast Army!

But no matter whether it is the 11th Army or the 21st Army, they are not stupid. Why do you have to send us if you have troops from the Guangxi Clan? So they found an excuse that they could not come for reinforcements. They said that we are guarding against and monitoring the Japanese reinforcements!

To talk about this matter, you can’t just blame other factions for not coming to help. When the Northwest Army was guarding Taierzhuang, didn’t your Northeast Army just send a brigade over for reinforcements, and that brigade only sent formed a battalion.

Although that battalion was eventually annihilated in Taierzhuang, when Taierzhuang was victorious, your battalion was not a drop in the bucket in the defense force of the Chinese army, it was just a handful of hairs in the list , What does the Taierzhuang victory have to do with your Northeast Army?

The behavior of the Chinese army nowadays is so strange!

It is not impossible to say that there are times when the various armies cooperate sincerely. For example, during the Battle of Songhu, the warlords of all factions sent troops out of simple patriotic enthusiasm, and the fight was quite brutal.

Another example is this time, Commander Zhang, who was born in the Northwest Army, and Commander Pang, who had old grievances, could put aside their previous suspicions and cooperate to fight against Japan and win the LY defense battle.

but!

But more often than not, all kinds of miscellaneous troops are still "idlers sweeping the snow in front of their own doors, and don't care about the frost on others' tiles"!

For example, the Battle of Songhu was fought with great enthusiasm, but when the battle was lost, all the troops began to pay attention to preserving their strength. The War of Resistance Against Japan was not over, but how could they wipe out their own troops?

The same is true after the Taierzhuang victory. The battle was won for the time being, but no matter whether the army has done meritorious service or not, apart from the fact that the direct descendants can provide ammunition and supplies to the soldiers, what else have they gained besides the full camp of wounded soldiers? No good!

With such a mentality, it is not surprising that when it comes to cooperation in the anti-Japanese war, the entire battlefield situation is smashed into pieces.

Because of this, a veteran like Shang Zhen would not expect reinforcements to arrive.

Shang Zhen was thinking of a way to save his life, but this time there was really no way, he could only keep silent, and the old hat Wang was only talking to Shang Zhen except eating and sleeping.

And now, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Shang Zhen finally figured out why Wang Laomao acted uncharacteristically, Wang Laomao really wanted to die! Especially when he said that his little daughter-in-law had it in her stomach!

But what can he say, they don't have the habit of talking about big principles. It turned out that Chu Tianjing talked about the principles of resistance against Japan, but he was damaged by the veterans in the end. Pretty much the same.

You can't talk about the principles of anti-Japanese war, but he can't say that you don't obey military orders, can you? They are now a guard company!

In the end, Shang Zhen, who was about to collapse from being nagged by Old Mao Wang, stood up and shouted: "Hou Kanshan, Qian Chuaner, Bai Zhan, Li Qingfeng, you four come here!"

Seeing that Shang Zhen had an order, those four people ran over, and Old Mao Wang stopped nagging.

"You four in two groups, one to the east and the other to the west, anyway, you ran to the two ends of our brigade's defense line, you see how the other brigades are fighting, if any other brigade can't stand it, run back quickly Tell me." Shang Zhen ordered.

When Shang Zhen said this, the eyes of those four people plus Old Mao Wang lit up.

It is impossible for Shang Zhen's arrangement not to make them have some kind of association.

And Shang Zhen went to the travel department next.

"Are you going to Gaha?" Old Mao Wang asked.

"I'll go to the brigade to find a toothpick." Shang Zhen replied without turning his head.

"You want a toothpick Gaha?" Old Mao Wang wondered.

What are toothpicks for? Of course it was for picking teeth, but to be honest, toothpicks are definitely a luxury for those of them who are always fighting outside.

In Wang Laomao's impression, he only had time to look for toothpicks when he was in Tianjin Wei. As for other times, pull them down quickly, you have to use a small stick to pick a toothpick if you want to pick your teeth? Use the bayonet!

"I used it to pierce my ears, and they were full of calluses!" Shang Zhen said angrily.
