You idiot, if you support me alone, you can help Major General Kobayashi Asazaburo on the ground to violate the Kwantung Army's issuance of the Manchukuo Army's orders, and all the Manchukuo Army transferred to the war zone can only serve as strict orders for logistics transportation and blockade tasks. Replacing the 37th Regiment with the puppet Manchukuo Army is certainly related to the poor performance of the 37th Regiment. But it is also not without the intention of using the puppet Manchukuo Army to consume the seemingly endless ammunition of the opponent.

In the view of Asazaburo Kobayashi, who is not sure about the epidemic prevention and water supply department of the Kwantung Army, no matter how special the reason for the Kwantung Army to issue this order is, there is no reason why the owner does work, and the dogs he raises are watching the fun. Since this dog is raised by the owner, you must serve the owner.

The 37th Regiment who were ordered to take over the attack were the teaching team of the Seventh Military Control Zone of the Puppet Manchukui District and the three infantry regiments of Zhang Kuiying, who had just arrived. After receiving the order from Major General Kobayashi Asazaburo, he was extremely dissatisfied with the orders of the Major General Commander of the Kanto Army, who was the Supreme Emperor of the Puppet Manchukui Army.

They had seen the opponent's firepower density with their own eyes just now. Since the Kwantung Army, which had strong combat power, were defeated and suffered heavy casualties. Isn't it too much different to seeking death when going up by oneself?

But as a dog raised by the Kwantung Army that was specially designed to release people to bite people, these puppet Manchukuo army could only discuss it in their hearts. On the surface, not only did they dare to feel dissatisfied at all, but they also had to express their gratitude to Major General Kobayashi for his respect.

After being involved in a puppet Manchukui army, who was not a human inside or outside, and without daring to show any dissatisfaction, he could only bite the bullet and launch an attack with all his strength under the command of Zhang Kuiying, the commander of its Major General of the Independent Second Brigade, and Major General Akazawa, the Japanese Chief of Staff of the Seventh Military Control Region, who was in person, was in charge of the attack.

Although Kobayashi Asazaburo pushed the puppet Manchukuo up and became a scapegoat, he was absolutely generous in his actions. Not only did he mobilize all the artillery to provide cover for the puppet Manchukuo, but he also specially called the air force to provide air support to him, and turned the defenders' blocking positions deep with bombs...

Seeing that the Japanese aviation army was exploding a dense firepower blocking position, the earth was shaking and the earth was flying everywhere, these puppet Manchukuo soldiers who were still a little sluggish seemed to have recovered a trace of courage. Just as the dust from the Japanese bomb had not yet fallen, the first wave of scattered soldiers had entered the attack launch area.

Looking at the standard attack formation of the Japanese army, all the troops were concentrated, and the whole regiment rushed towards the front line of the attack positions. In a hidden fortification near the top of the mountain, Guo Bingxun, who was holding a telescope to observe the enemy situation, couldn't help but smile a contemptuously.

Guo Bingxun turned his head to a combat staff member who was contacting various defense fortifications with a field phone behind him and said, "Staff Wen, are there any serious casualties in frontier forces under the Japanese air raid?"

When the staff officer heard Guo Bingxun’s question, he quickly put down the phone and walked to Guo Bingxun and reported: “Before the Japanese air strike, the Chief of Staff frontier troops had retreated to the second-line position in advance, and a small number of troops left on the position also retreated into the pre-built air raid shelter. Therefore, the casualties were not very large."

"During the entire Japanese air raid, the overall casualties did not have as much casualties when fighting against the Japanese. Now, among the companies that have withdrawn from the front line, their combat effectiveness is basically maintained at about 70%. The losses of weapons and ammunition are not large. Moreover, I just asked about the hidden firepower points that were not exposed in the first stage, and their fortifications were not damaged at all. There were no casualties among the personnel, and they remained in a full-scale state."

After the staff report, he looked at the puppet Manchukuo army that was close to the front line of positions outside and said with some temptation: "Chief of Staff, the puppet Manchukuo army has come up and is about to approach the front line of positions. Do you think it is time to call for artillery fire to strike?"

"Chief of Staff, although these puppet Manchukuo troops were trained by the Japanese army, they were still far behind the Japanese army's individual quality and combat effectiveness. If we use heavy artillery to split the attack sequence and invest some forces in counterattacks at the right time, I think we are completely sure to destroy one of them."

Hearing the idea of ​​the staff officer opening his mind to eat the first part of the Manchukuo Army, looking at the disciple who was most proud of in the staff training team, Guo Bingxun smiled and nodded, "You are right. We can't always defend so passively. It is necessary to attack appropriately. However, the number of heavy shells in our hands is not very precious. The commander gave us the task of holding on for five days, and today is the first day. If you consume too much, it will affect the next stage of the battle."

"Besides, those very precious heavy artillery shells are not worth using them on these dogs. Those heavy artillery shells should be left for the Japanese to enjoy. Tell the front-line troops to put a small number of troops left behind in the front line according to the scheduled plan, and then all of them are withdrawn to the second line. We will give the front-line blocking position to these puppet Manchukuo troops."

"In this way, you inform the several unexposed firepower points that are now located behind the enemy's vanguard, and do not fire. Let them wait until the explosion of the main position on the front line sounds, and when the puppet Manchukuo army begins to retreat, they use dense firepower to cut off the retreat route of the puppet Manchukuo army's vanguard. They are equipped with water-cooled Type 89 heavy machine guns with much faster firing speed, which is enough for these dogs to drink a pot."

"Appoint Li Jin, deputy battalion commander of the third battalion, unified the command of the first company of the battalion, and the independent third company of the reserve team, to use the traffic trenches that the enemy has not yet discovered to move to several hidden points on the flanks of the front line. After the puppet Manchukuo army began to retreat, it attacked from the flanks and cut off the enemy in half under the cover of the firepower of the dozen or so castles.

"I ordered Du Kaishan, who was commanding on the position, commanded a company of the Third Battalion, and was assigned to the Fifth Independent Company, give me a bayonet and be prepared to attack at any time. Once I received the order, concentrate all my troops and firepower and suppress me from the front. However, tell him that I must be able to retract and release me freely. If I fight, I must be able to recover it."

"Let him remember that after counterattacking to the foot of the mountain, no matter how many puppet Manchukuo Army annihilated, it must be withdrawn. There is also a Japanese infantry and cavalry unit behind the puppet Manchukuo Army. We must continue to defend and create fighter jets for the commander's next step of combat. If the casualties of this counterattack are too large, it will affect the next step of combat. I can't spare him."

"Order all mortar groups to concentrate all firepower to attack the follow-up troops of the Puppet Manchukuo Army according to the pre-set ruler, and ensure that the attacking troops annihilate the Puppet Manchukuo Army on the front line."

"You send a message to Ma Qichang, let him, in addition to leaving the field artillery group to continue to support Deputy Chief of Staff Wang's attack, concentrate all heavy artillery groups according to the preset ruler, and after receiving the order, I will cover the main assembly area of ​​the 34th Regiment on the north bank of the Faji River to cover me with a firepower coverage, so that it is unable to support the puppet Manchukuo Army."

Unlike Yang Zhen, who was always passionate when commanding and fighting, Guo Bingxun always chose to remain silent after giving orders. After a series of orders were issued, Guo Bingxun returned to the observation port without even mentioning a word of encouragement, and raised his telescope to observe outward.

As early as the previous stage of the battle between Miaolingzishan, the staff officer who was chosen by Guo Bingxun seemed to have become accustomed to his style. After conveying the combat orders to various departments, he did not say much, but just sat quietly in front of the field phone and waited for Guo Bingxun's next order.

After Guo Bingxun issued the subsequent combat order, he originally wanted to go directly to the second-line position to command the next counterattack against the puppet Manchukuo Army. But after hesitating for a moment, he decided to stay in this observation center that could look down on the entire battlefield to command the overall situation.

A few days ago, on the battlefield downstream here, Yang Zhen once told him that he should give the intermediate commanders as much exercise as possible. In addition to the things he learned in class, they still need to go to the battlefield to experience it.

As a senior commander, after formulating a complete combat plan, he or she coordinates the situation and enables the development of the entire situation to develop in the direction he or she plans to develop in the direction he or she plans to do so. Instead of pointing fingers everywhere and interfering with the commander below. Of course, if the intermediate commander is not capable enough, or fears war and avoids war, that is another matter.

However, although Guo Bingxun had decided to hand over the full power of the counterattack to Du Kaishan, when the puppet Manchukuo army that launched the attack was approaching the first abandoned line of defense, he turned around and picked up the field phone, and directly asked to access the command post and set it under his nose.

Guo Bingxun was not polite about his old acquaintance whom he knew in the Sichuan Army. As soon as the phone was answered, he said straight to the point: "I have decided to give you full authority to command this counterattack. I will not interfere with any of your commands except for coordinating artillery fire support."

"But there is a prerequisite that I have to agree to you first. You have to fight this counterattack. If the counterattack is unfavorable and you can't eat most of the puppet Manchukuo army that launched the attack, or if there are too many casualties and affect the next step of the battle, you will automatically resign and go to the kitchen team to take the blame for me and the artillery regiment."

Du Kaishan on the other end of the phone was stunned when he heard Guo Bingxun's words, and then he was ecstatic for a while. With three regiment commanders, Wang Guangyu was the first to independently command the battle. In addition to the previous blocking battle at the junction of Acheng and Wuchang, during the previous stage of the battle, he independently commanded some troops of a regiment to harass the 24th Regiment of the 12th Division of the Japanese Army in the middle.

During the previous stage of the Battle of the Fasi River, Liu Changshun was fully authorized by the commander to fight a happy annihilation battle on the north bank of the river. Although the scale is not large, Hao Lai is considered an independent combat. Among the three regiment commanders, only he has never tried what independent command is.

Although he had commanded the subsequent operations alone when he surrounded and annihilated the 8th Division of the Japanese Army in Miaolingzishan. However, Du Kaishan always stubbornly believed that it was not a battle, it was cleaning the battlefield.

When the commander handed over control of the battlefield to himself, less than one squadron could stand up in a squadron. In the eyes of Du Kaishan, who was a student officer and always competitive, he had strong artillery fire support. When looking at the guys in his hands who were in the Sichuan Army, he could not imagine at all. If he could not destroy a squadron of Japanese soldiers, it could be considered a battle, and even if he was a little forced to clean the battlefield.

Du Kaishan dared not object to Wang Guangyu, who had served as the division commander, division political commissar, and finally as deputy commander in the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. In the eyes of this upright Sichuan man, it was already a talent for a deputy commander to be a regiment commander. What's more, when he was the division commander of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, he had independently commanded many battles.

Although the division is a little smaller and its troops are not as strong as the battalion under his current command, the other party's location is also shot out by real guns and ammunition. In the dangerous environment of the Northeast, I'm afraid no one is involved in nepotism and becoming the division commander.

Last winter, the experience of being colder than minus forty degrees below zero and having no waist was made by the Sichuan people who came from all seasons, who could spend the winter with a single dress and straw sandals in winter were extremely uncomfortable. Even Du Kaishan, who was extremely adaptable, couldn't help but curse secretly: "Damn Northeast, damn Northeast weather."

While I was dressed warmly and had enough food, I was still scared when I thought of the cool cold last year. Many times, people could only wear single clothes, and in many cases, they could survive most of the winter when they couldn't even eat. And after so many years of enduring, Du Kaishan admired Du Kaishan. So Du Kaishan was very impressed by Wang Guangyu, who is both his superior and his own average competitor.

But Du Kaishan was a little dissatisfied with Liu Changshun, who mentioned the company commander and battalion commander with him, and now he mentioned the regiment commander again. It was not that Yang Zhen, the commander, was partial and looked at Liu Changshun, who was born in the 18th Army with him. The battle at Fasihe was just an exception. At that time, he was still encircled and suppressed the remaining enemies on the front line of Miaolingzishan, and even if he wanted to catch up, Du Kaishan was convinced of the commander's fairness in handling matters.

To be honest, Du Kaishan admires Yang Zhen from the bottom of his heart. Although this commander is young and younger than himself, he can gather troops from all over the world so that everyone will not weaken their combat effectiveness due to internal affairs. In addition to avoiding everyone being used by the Japanese to perform live dissection by themselves, the most important thing is a public character. This is also what Du Kaishan admires the most.

You should know that even the Sichuan Army was in great conflict with each other. In the early years, they fought hard and had civil wars. And as a commander, he was young, able to unite people from the Sichuan Army and other troops in the prisoners of war, plus the 18th Army troops, and local anti-Japanese Allied forces, without internal disputes. This alone is not something that others can do.

What he thought in his heart was purely a simple competition. He and Liu Changshun competed in training, competed in combat, and competed in combat. They also competed in replenishing troops and equipment. They had almost reached the point of fighting everywhere. However, for his healthy competition, Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun, both Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun, had always been encouraging, but did not stop him.

Realizing that he finally had the opportunity to stand alone, Du Kaishan suppressed his excitement after putting down the phone and immediately adjusted the distribution of troops according to Guo Bingxun's deployment. He transferred the most combat-capable company among the several companies in his hand to the front and prepared to launch a counterattack.

In order to master the explosives in the fortifications that had been abandoned and to give the greatest damage to the puppet Manchukuo army that rushed up, Du Kaishan personally rushed to the preset second-line blocking position, and not only went to the front line to command, but also controlled the detonator in his own hands.

Du Kaishan on the mountain was excited because he received the full delegation of power from Guo Bingxun. At the request of Major General Kobayashi Asazaburo, Zhang Kuiying, commander of the Independent Second Brigade of the Puppet Manchukui Army, who had all three regiments in his hands, took down the front line of positions that caused huge casualties to the Kwantung Army, and was also happy when he saw that his troops had only used one charge.

The commander of the puppet Manchukui's army next to him saw a smile on the corner of Zhang Kuiying's mouth. Although he felt something was wrong, he did not dare to say it because he did not dare to sweep away the interest of his boss. He knew very well about his brigade commander's temper. If he said something he shouldn't say at this time, he might sniffed over directly with his mouth next. He didn't want to make such an ugly appearance in front of a group of colleagues.

On the contrary, this guy flattered: "Horseman, we have a big face this time. He did not take down the fortifications that the Japanese charge more than ten times, so we took all of them. Hunter, this group charge is really good. After returning to Jiamusi, the promotion of Hunter is just around the corner. Maybe, the Kwantung Army Command is happy and you can still be the chief of the military and political minister in the future."

As soon as he flattered, the puppet Manchukuo officers around him looked very despised at this guy, but they all started to shoot him unwillingly, almost to praise the troop as a war god and reincarnated. If it weren't for the Japanese consultant around him, they wouldn't dare to say too much. These guys might have said anything disgusting.

Zhang Kuiying, who was a little proud of his subordinates, was dissatisfied with his face and waved his hands hypocritically, and said straight: "This time, it is not a result of the war, but the strong air support of the Imperial Army. The rebels were frightened by the air strike of the Imperial Army, so they fled in a hurry, allowing themselves to successfully take down the rebel positions." In fact, they were still very helpful in their hearts.

But before he could get over his complacent spirit, a dense explosion on the blocking position of the rebels occupied by the puppet Manchukui army stunned him. Looking at his subordinates who were bombarded with films, Zhang Kuiying was completely stunned.

Before he could wake up from the shock, the next scene almost broke down. The dense rain of bullets fired from several firepower points behind the side and side of the puppet Manchukuo Army knocked down his follow-up troops in pieces. A large number of mortar shells exploded a barrier between his two main regiments and the follow-up troops.

Accompanied by the sound of machine guns and the explosion of mortars, the sound of charge sounded all over the mountain. A large number of rebels who had just disappeared emerged from somewhere, and under the cover of dense firepower, they launched a fierce counterattack.

The two puppet Manchu troops who rushed up the mountain before and survived the explosion were now unable to advance or retreat. They did not hold on for more than ten minutes in front of Du Kaishan's full-line counterattack and quickly collapsed. Except for those who were shot dead, most of them just surrendered after a little resistance.

After seeing the brothers from a whole battalion, they were sent to the West without a shot in front of them, these puppet Manchukuo troops were frightened at that time, and they had the courage to resist. Especially after discovering that the retreat was cut off, they lost their will to resist. Facing the Du Kaishan tribe who launched the counterattack, except for a small number of deadly hard elements who were still fighting back, most of them raised their hands neatly.

Zhang Kuiying, who was watching the battle on the opposite hill, watched helplessly as his two regiments were defeated in just half an hour, and the support troops were also bombarded by rainy mortar shells, and he deeply understood what it means to have the ice and fire.

And right beside him, the one who had just been furious by the flatteries of those puppet Manchukuo officers, had already made up his mind to wait until he returned, so that these people could not recognize the situation and know what it means to give their friendly forces some respect. Let them understand, the Japanese Chief of Staff of the Seventh Military Control District of the Puppet Manchukuo, who had some lessons, had the real power, but he sneered in his heart: "Do you really think the peaches of the Imperial Army are so easy to pick?" What else do you need infantry to do when you eliminate them? If this opponent is so easy to solve, why should you die from General Sasaki? Do you really think you are more powerful than the Kanto Army? The stupid Manchus."
