Sign in at the start of the Sword

Chapter 191, Brigadier's Hesitation
The gate of the base area was opened, and a brigade of the Japanese army drove straight in.And attacked the field hospital, causing many casualties.

When the news came, there was a huge disturbance in the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The boss yelled at the chief of the left staff angrily: "I'll arrest that company commander who ran away and shoot him! You son of a bitch, shame on the Eighth Route Army."

Chief of Staff Zuo said: "I have ordered the Military Judiciary to carry out the execution. Judging from the enemy's movements, they don't know that there is our arsenal here."

The boss didn't speak up, thinking in silence.

In fact, since the start of the Hundred Regiments War, from the orders issued by the boss, it can be seen that he has the idea of ​​destroying hundreds of enemies, or a brigade, in his heart.

In the telegram on August 23, there was such a text: Try to prolong the battle time and expand the results of the battle. When the enemy comes to aid with hundreds of people or a brigade, you should have a firm determination to gather superior forces to destroy them.

The telegram further explained: Because only in this way can the enemy not dare to send aid easily,
Even if the enemy dares to come to help, it needs to gather more forces. This can prolong the time and increase the gap between the enemy's attack, which is beneficial to our army's sabotage operations.

In the subsequent telegrams, it was also mentioned: to concentrate the main force and wipe out one or two enemy brigades under favorable circumstances.

A brigade of the Japanese army and an infantry regiment of the puppet army were wiped out at the top of the red cliff before. Hasn't the little devil's memory been remembered?
If it doesn't work once, do it a few more times.

Beat up the little devils, let's see if they dare to come out and run around in a large group?

The boss slammed his fist on the table, causing the water glasses on the table to jump up: "Get rid of this son of a bitch Yamazaki brigade."

The boss's order was passed to the th Division, and the division commander handed over the heavy responsibility to the th Brigade and the New Tenth Brigade.

After receiving the transfer order, the troops immediately surrounded the Guanjianao area where the Yamazaki Brigade was located.

In the four directions of east, west, north, south, the strength of the four regiments, like four fists, surrounded the Yamazaki Brigade.

Guanjianao is located in the center of Taihang District, more than ten kilometers to the south is Zhuanbi Village, further south is Licheng, southwest is Wangjiayu, west is Wuxiang County, northwest is Yushe, and north is Liao County.

There are undulating peaks here, the mountains are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a small flat land on the top of Guanjianao, which is very suitable for deploying troops for defense.

There are cliffs on three sides here, and only the southern slope is relatively gentle and suitable for attack.

There is also a small village on the hillside.

The common people in northwestern Shanxi live in cave dwellings, one cave dwelling connected to another cave dwelling.

Further south is another Wall of Highland Willows.

The altitude of the willow tree is higher than that of Guanjianao, and the path leading to Guanjianao can be controlled with firepower from the willow wall.

Captain Yamazaki is arrogant, but not stupid.With the Eighth Route Army in all directions, he could only occupy Guanjianao to build fortifications and stand by for help.

In the combat command room of the th Brigade Headquarters, several regiment leaders were blushing because of the main attack mission.

"This task should be taken over by our independent regiment. If we want to talk about the experience of eliminating more than one brigade of the Japanese army, it must be our independent regiment."

Kong Jie said arrogantly, I think everyone here is rubbish, just the most powerful demeanor of my independent group.

Leader Cheng of the nd Regiment couldn't stand it any longer. He always felt that the Independent Regiment made a mistake, and whoever went to fight the ambush would win.

He also criticized unceremoniously: "You idiot Kong Er, don't pretend to be like a pig with green onions in your nose,
Without the cooperation of Xinyi regiment, how could your independent regiment win?

There were so many casualties, and I was still out of breath. What should I do to grab the main attack task?Take the lead! "

Said they were picking up the loopholes, and looked down on their independent group.

If you scold him Kong Jie, he can bear it.But Kong Jie couldn't bear to say that the independent group couldn't do it.

Kong Jie stared like copper bells, and cursed unceremoniously: "Blind Cheng, what are you talking about?

You don't have the ability to blame yourself, there are devils everywhere, why didn't you destroy a brigade of devils, let everyone see!

You Qiqiertuan can't do it, it's because you, blind Cheng, are too inferior. "

Seeing that the two were about to attack personally, the brigade commander patted the table to silence them.

The brigade commander knew that if they were to argue for hours, there would be no result.

Look at them fighting aggressively, that's all.

The brigade commander directly made arrangements: "The independent regiment and the new second regiment suffered a lot of casualties in the previous battle. The independent regiment participated in the siege, so the new second regiment should be the reserve team!

The 38th Regiment had sufficient troops and high morale, and was responsible for attacking the enemy's main force at Guanjianao Ding.The time is set at ten o'clock tonight.

The nd Regiment sent one unit to attack the Liushunao Highlands, and then sent another battalion to insert into the middle area to cut off the enemy in the middle and prevent them from reuniting. "

At this time, six hours have passed since the Yamazaki brigade broke into the sky.

It was already evening.

The commanders were all anxious to return to their troops after receiving the order.The brigade commander didn't leave any food and let them go.

Just after the meeting, a combat staff officer walked in: "Brigade Commander, Advisor Yuan has been waiting for more than two hours."

"Why is he here? Please!"

The brigade commander has dealt with Yuan Lang a lot, and he knows that he is impatient. If there is nothing to do, he will never wait for him for more than two hours.

Yuan Lang waited for more than two hours, naturally waiting anxiously.But he said that he wanted to give credit to everyone, so he couldn't let it go to waste just because he couldn't wait.

Then where to put his face, what credibility will he have in front of everyone in the future.

As soon as he entered the door, he reported straight to the point: "Brigadier, good news, great news, we have developed a cannon with a caliber of at least mm."

Title party, he also played very slippery.

Cannons with a caliber of mm, just ask if you are afraid?
However, he ignored one problem.Can the mm cannon be manufactured by the Eighth Route Army now?

If he said he had built a mortar, the brigade commander might believe it a little bit.

The brigade commander poured him a glass of water and said with a smile: "Don't worry, talk slowly. The mm caliber cannon is the good news you said, so what's going on?"

He knew that Yuan Lang belonged to Shun Mao Donkey, so he respected him, and it was very easy to deal with him.

Yuan Lang did exactly what he thought, sat down and explained the situation of the cannon he created in detail.

The brigade commander at first heard the mm guns and thought he was joking.But the more he listened, the more he felt that this thing had something to do with it.

According to the firing principle of the mortar, it is a bit like a trebuchet, shooting explosives from an oil barrel... It is very interesting, and it would be better if you can see the real thing.

Yuan Lang felt that it was very good. If this thing is made, it must be approved by the superiors. It is best to report it to the headquarters and promote it for use.

"Brigade Commander, you can watch it anytime you want. In fact, this thing is best used in actual combat. I heard that devils invaded our base area.

Before I came here, I had already asked them to start making them. When the time came, they would line up and give the devils a dynamite-packed hijab, which would be the most effective. "

Guanjianao's terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the slope to the south seems to be useful.

What the brigade commander is still hesitating is that he has never seen the flying thunder cannon that Yuan Lang was talking about, what is the situation.

What kind of effect will a weapon that has never seen with one's own eyes be put directly on the battlefield?
Will it have the opposite effect?

These are all things to think about, the brigade commander cannot risk the lives of the soldiers.

"How many guns have been built now?" asked the brigade commander.

"This... I only built one door when I left, and they are still building the rest." Yuan Lang didn't dare to promise, he really didn't know what to do.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Well, call the New Second Regiment and ask them to send someone to ask."

The brigade headquarters and the regiments have all connected the telephone lines, and telephone communication is still possible.

The brigade commander did not agree immediately, but still asked uneasy: "Are you sure the Feilei Cannon can hit 150 meters, to 200 meters?
Are there any restrictions on the angle and terrain, and will there be any defects of bombing? "

The former is worried about whether the explosive package can be cast, and the latter is worried about its reliability.

The Brigadier is not ordinary cultured, he is very cultured.He has a good understanding of weapons such as artillery.

The manufacture of artillery barrels is not ordinary steel, but special gun steel.

One of these purposes is fortification.

The thin layer of iron skin of the gasoline barrel has to withstand the thrust generated by the explosion of gunpowder, can it withstand it?

In his opinion, it is enough, even if he can bear it once or twice, it may not work if there are too many times.

If the ignited explosive package did not fly out, what would happen if it stayed where it was?
That is the same as the blasting of a shell, and the power of an explosive package has predictable consequences.

The question raised by the brigade commander really caught Yuan Lang's attention.

The Feilei Cannon is handmade and has no fixed parameters.There was no writing on the blueprint he took out.

If you want to know these data, you must go through repeated calculations and experiments.

He is very confident in the power of the unconscionable cannon, and he will announce the good news as soon as it is built.

But the brigade commander has never seen it, and there is no specific data, so how can he easily believe it?
It's like you go back to ten years ago and tell others to spend a little money to buy 30 bitcoins, and ten years later you will be a rich man with a net worth of $ billion.

People will only answer you: "Crazy!"

You see it in the future, so you take it for granted.

In the past, those who hadn't seen this scene had a skeptical attitude, which was really normal.

The brigade commander is willing to sit here and discuss with Yuan Lang in a serious manner, because he knows Yuan Lang well and knows that he will not run the train with his mouth full of nonsense.

If someone you don't know comes to the door and says this, guess what the brigade commander will do?
Yuan Lang pondered for a moment, and proposed a compromise plan.He's going back to collecting data now, and working overtime on manufacturing.

Tomorrow, the brigade commander will be invited to verify in person to see if it is as he said.

Seeing is believing is the best, and the brigade commander agreed straight away: "Okay, I will do as you say."

Yuan Lang, who left on his horse, didn't know that the battle would start tonight.
