Chapter 261 Hutoushan's Arrangements and Plans for Zhang Chu and Chen Yi
As soon as Xu Fang entered, she saw Liu Yuan sitting there drinking tea.
Judging from his face, he must have suffered a lot in the past few days. He used to have plump features, but now he looks thinner and like a monkey. His hair and beard are also messy.
"Brother Liu is here. I heard that your Hutoushan was taken over by Xiao Rizi. I wonder how much loss you suffered." Xu Fang was very straightforward. He walked in, sat down in his seat, took a sip of tea and asked.
Zhang Chu and Chen Yi, who had arrived a long time ago, felt that Xu Fang seemed to be gloating, but they both knew Xu Fang very well. Xu Fang was not that kind of person at all. She was just straightforward.
Liu Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Xu, for your concern. The loss this time is indeed not small."
He briefly explained it.
Zhu Ziming, Xu Fang and others also understood.
The attack took place in the middle of the night. It seemed that the enemy knew the deployment positions of the independent regiment and directly touched upon the secret and visible sentries. That night, if Xu Guangrong's First Battalion had not been working to help the people of Zuyang Village and did not return to the base because it was too late, the regiment headquarters would probably have been taken over by the enemy.
Even with the first company still there, the independent regiment still suffered heavy losses. The radio station and important documents at the regiment headquarters could not be taken away, so they had to be burned. The captured Japanese guns and ammunition had to be handed over by the independent regiment, so they were placed in a room next to the regiment headquarters. As a result, the fire that burned the documents caused all the stockpiled weapons and ammunition to explode.
Three staff officers died in the regiment. Three medical soldiers died. All the soldiers injured in the previous battle were killed, except those who were in civilian homes. Li Yong was the last one to be killed and was shot in the abdomen. Qiu Ming was not injured because he was in the third company that night. Xu Guangrong was shot in the thigh.
"Li Wu, prepare some medicine and let Brother Liu Yuan take it back later." Xu Fang said to Li Wu who was about to come in. This was all she could do. As for the doctor, sorry, she couldn't give him that.
"What kind of devils are so powerful? They didn't even know that your regiment headquarters was destroyed. You graduated from a military school, and you..."
"If you can't talk, just shut up." Xu Fang was about to explode with anger. This person in her family was a good person, but he couldn't control his mouth.
Liu Yuan said without any concern, "Brother Zhu is right. These guys are really powerful. Captain Qiu and I have analyzed them carefully. They should be similar to my brother squad. They have strong firepower and their dispersed actions do not affect their combat. Their marksmanship is very good. Our soldiers are often shot down by them as soon as they show their heads."
Zhu Ziming had a deep understanding of his brother. He nodded seriously. "It seems that Qingfeng Village needs to make some changes. So, Zhang Chu, take a look at what we need to change."
What has changed?
Zhang Chu lowered his head and thought about it, and really didn't think there was anything to change. Zhou Weiguo came here and made Qingfeng Village like an iron tunnel. The artillery completely blocked the attack route. Not only were copper bells hung on the back mountain, but grenades were also hung in some uneven places. No matter who you are, if you dare to come up from anywhere, at least several of you will be blown to death.
There is a minefield above and a machine gun behind it.
Liu Yuan also knew that this place was modified by his brother, so there was no need to modify it. But there was one place that needed to be modified: "The time for the open and secret sentries should not be fixed, they should be disrupted, and the secret sentries should not be fixed either."
"I'll listen to you." Xu Fang nodded and looked at Liu Yuan; "The independent regiment suffered heavy losses, and we can't provide any extra. We have prepared some ammunition and weapons. You can take them back with you so that we can recover sooner."
Liu Yuan actually came here for supplies, but he was too embarrassed to ask. Now that Xu Fang had said so, he nodded without hesitation; "Thank you very much."
Since they were here, they naturally had to eat. Xu Fang had raised a lot of chickens in the back mountain, and now they were ready to eat. She asked people to catch a few, killed one, and then tied them up and took them together to give to Li Yong and the others as nourishment.
After dinner, Zhang Chu and Chen Yi sent Liu Yuan and others down the mountain.
"Political Commissar, we want to go back and help now." Chen Yi looked at Liu Yuandao who was about to leave.
Liu Yuan looked at the two people in front of him; "No, you are not going back to Hutou Mountain. From now on, your job is to stay in Qingfeng Village. First, you are going to bring them here. Second, the captain's plan is to use Qingfeng Village as a springboard and then let you go to my brothers."
"Go to the Independent Regiment?" Zhang Chu frowned and asked tentatively. "Does the regiment want us to go to the Independent Regiment to develop when the time comes?"
Chen Yi frowned; "Political Commissar, this... this won't cause him any trouble, right?"
It’s troublesome, it’s really troublesome.
Yu Huohuo shook his head vigorously, then pointed at the battle map with gritted teeth. "Are these guys on drugs or something? They attacked so fiercely that they broke through two of our positions. If the Fourth Battalion hadn't arrived, we might have been able to get in."
Yesterday evening, the theater commander sent a secret telegram that the opportunity for the decisive battle in Xuzhou has been lost, and the troops will be quickly transferred. The corps, mainly the 74th Army, will be responsible for the rear guard and then enter Henan. The troops of the Tang Corps and the remaining armies will also be in charge of the rear guard and then transfer to the south.
The Chief of Staff also supported the idea of the man in front of him and said, "Yes, they are like taking medicine, attacking regardless of casualties. The barrels of the machine guns on the front line are all red, but they are still advancing."
Commander Wang of the 51st Division pointed to the current location of the Japanese troops; "A division headquarters and a brigade headquarters are both here."
"These two bastards are really not afraid of death, but I have to admit that Bantan's move was really powerful. Look, their morale has been boosted."
Lincheng, independent regiment headquarters.
After the battle to encircle and suppress the 11th Regiment was over, Yu Huohuo ordered the independent regiment not to go to Teng County, but to stay in Lincheng. With such an arrangement, Zhou Weiguo actually knew that they were planning to evacuate and put the elite forces in a safe place first. Once the order was given, the independent regiment would run away as soon as possible. After all, tanks and other things could not be lost. This was the capital that the 74th Army dared to challenge the Japanese army.
"That's right." Fang Shengli chuckled; "After these two thieves came up, they attacked like crazy and captured a position yesterday. If the Fourth Battalion hadn't arrived at the battlefield and bombed them, and our army hadn't counterattacked afterwards, I guess they would have occupied it."
Zhou Weiguo moved his chair, picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, put it aside, and said, "He is courageous, but I don't know if he, Sakatan Seishiro, really dares to stand in front of me like a mountain under pressure and not bend his back at the moment of life and death."
Xiao Ya, who was standing nearby, hummed when she heard this and looked at her man and asked, "Awen, are you planning to do this yourself?"
