"Let the Fourth Battalion and the nearby guerrillas go over and protect the artillery troops coming from the artillery regiment, so that they can't get into trouble!"

The political commissar urgently gave the order. Everyone knew the role of artillery in combat. The four Japanese guns could blow up a group of them terrible.

Now the situation is reversed. They used artillery to bomb the Japanese, which means that there were casualties in the guards' troops, and the casualties caused to the Japanese would be even greater.

Therefore, this time the fourth battalion was the most lucky. The five battalions rushed to get this task, but their battalion was drawn. Do you think you are lucky?

...

"Battery Commander, do you think how many Japanese can kill us with this gun?"

On the way to protecting the artillery, a soldier asked the old battalion commander excitedly. He had not seen many cannons, especially those with large caliber.

The entire Eighth Route Army estimated that only the artillery regiments of their military region had such large caliber artillery, and even the National Government Army did not dare to underestimate them.

"I tell you, you have seen these infantry cannons, so they are very powerful! They can kill several people, even a large area.

But this heavy artillery is different. The one shot of Te Niang may have gone half a small hill. The shells are all heavy. I heard that a shell is worth a lot of money!”

The old battalion commander was boasting in Hu Qihaba. In fact, he had only seen heavy artillery fire once. It was when they attacked Anyang two years ago. I heard that there is now a scorched earth and there are no people at all.

Just because artillery bombarded the city, an ancient city with a history of hundreds of years was destroyed, and Li Jian almost suffered a major punishment!

"Hey, Battalion Commander, look at the muzzle so thick. I wonder if we can use it and how many shots we can shoot?"

An extroverted soldier looked at the cannon eagerly, with hope in his eyes. He should have wanted to shoot a shot, but no one would agree.

Dong!

The old battalion commander stretched out his index finger and knocked on his helmet, then reminded him with displeasure:

"I tell you, our mission is to protect these artillery and artillery, and don't even think about the rest!

Although these artillery soldiers cannot defeat the Japanese when they go to the battlefield, if they fire a few shots from behind, they will not know how much pressure on the frontline will be reduced, so their lives are more valuable than us!"

The old battalion commander must have participated in relatively large battles and knew the role of artillery in war. Compared to whether he could use bullets blessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva, a single shot that could kill seven or eight people was indeed much more important.

Seeing the cannon being pulled by the truck, the old battalion commander suddenly felt a sense of pride.

The reason why the Independent Detachment is so strong that the Japanese are so afraid of it is an important reason. In addition, their commander Li Jian made the Japanese frightened!

"Report to the battalion commander, the designated location is ahead!"

At this moment, a scout quickly ran back to report. When the old battalion commander saw that the place was really close to the front line, he could hear some gunfire. It should be some small battles between them and the Japanese from time to time.

"Take out all the tents, cover them with canvas and other things, and stay on the spot!"

The old battalion commander looked at the terrain here and felt it was pretty good. This was found by artillery and scouts in cooperation, and it was very suitable for bombing.

The only disadvantage is that it is too close to the frontline, and the Japanese cannon may not be able to be caught, but if infantry raids are sent, it will be a fatal blow!

...

Although it is already beginning of spring, the north is still very cold. In their own words, there is only winter and summer in the north, and there is no spring and autumn.

At this moment, a team of soldiers from the National Government, wearing yellow military uniforms, with steel helmets on their heads, and blue sky and white sun hat badges quietly arrived at the battle zone between the Japanese and the Eighth Route Army.

Their troops were about one company, and each of them was fully armed. More than a dozen Thomsons seemed to blink, making people recognize it at a glance that this was a local tyrant army.

"Company Commander, there are five miles ahead to the war zone. There are most of the battalions of the Eighth Route Army here, the Japanese also have a fully equipped squadron and an artillery squadron!

However, the two sides did not intend to start a war, as if they had agreed, they would take a break."

The scouts of the National Government Army were not bad either, and they quickly figured out the situation. They felt that the current problem should be to find a place that could block the wind. The cold wind of the slap in the face was like a knife, which made it painful to slap on the face.

There were several veterans behind who were already shouting, thinking that they should rest first, and that the weather was a foul of their bodies!

"We have to find an opportunity to stir up their battle and let them fight. This is the task assigned by the regiment commander!"

The captain also shrank his body and leaned against the mountain, hoping to blow less cold wind.

A second lieutenant officer came over, exhaling a lot of heat from his mouth, mixed with a little smoke, and said slowly:

"Company Commander, otherwise we can do this! Find a place to rest first. When tomorrow, find a few people to fire guns from both the Tujiao Route Army and the Japanese to provoke their battles. In this way, as long as they fight, even if our mission is completed, it will be easy to get in the regiment commander. Brothers don't need to suffer, right?"

The combat staff's plan was very good and was adopted by the company commander.

But they think this idea should be advanced and try to act tonight.

...

The four companies of the first battalion of the Fourth Brigade are stationed in the southernmost part, with the Japanese on the east and a regiment of the Central Army on the south.

Originally, they did not start fighting with the Japanese, and their superiors also instructed them to just hold the Japanese, so they just need to hold them up, and they don’t have to worry about the rest.

This is great, there is no need for so many casualties. That night, gunshots suddenly came from them. When they attacked, they dared to go up with the Japanese.

There was only one squadron of Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, and the puppet army did not have too many troops, so they chased some roads and unexpectedly got into trouble.

This battle came inexplicably. When the two sides found that the fight would not be worth the loss after halfway through, they had a tacit understanding and chose to retreat.

...

Bang!

At the command of the Independent Detachment, Li Jian slapped the telegram in the folder on the table and sat down with a gloomy face.

Xu Ming looked at Li Jian's angry look and knew that something must have happened. When he picked up the telegram, he immediately understood.

"Commander, they are maliciously provoking our battle with the Japanese!"

The Independent Detachment's intelligence capabilities are not bad, and he quickly found out what was going on, which is also the reason why Li Jian was angry.

He originally wanted to use this method to deal with the Central Army, but he didn't expect that he would use it first, not to mention how frustrating he was.

The key is that you can't find a reason to scold others. You can't say that the Japanese are coming and don't fight yourself. Even if they are provoking, they will be provoked, but if you dare to say that they won't fight the Japanese, the saliva of the people across the country will drown Li Jian the next day.
Chapter completed!
