Chapter 1 The talk of experience

Wen Chao's words of experience were immediately echoed by several brothers:

"Right!"

"Right! It's like filling a bottle with things.

Of course, you have to put some dry goods in first, and shake it,

Then pour water in, so you can fit more."

Many people holding bowls around them have stood up and swayed their bodies.

Trying to use their stomachs as bottles, shaking them well to make the food inside more solid.

It would be best if they could eat another bowl of dry rice after shaking, and it would be good to drink half a bowl more of meat soup.

Lin Fan smiled as he watched thousands of people shaking their upper bodies while holding rice bowls!

Why are these soldiers so cute?

They fought a great victory in the morning, and now their stomachs are full.

The special operations brigade on the position next to Zhao Family Village is now in high spirits, and everyone is waiting for the Japanese infantry to come.

Mao Wenxing went back to Xuzhou Airport to refuel.

The special operations brigade's reconnaissance team has been following Mao Wenxing's guidance, monitoring the Japanese troops of the Kagawa Yoshiro Battalion and the Okamura Jiro Battalion from a distance.

At half past one in the afternoon, the two battalions of Japanese troops finally arrived at their destination.

They were five *li* away from the special operations brigade's position.

The commander of the 8th Brigade, Setakei, has finally calmed down. What has happened cannot be changed after all.

He has now accepted reality and is hiding in Gao Family Village with Numata Takakazuo, the commander of the 30th Regiment, and his staff to discuss how to attack.

Those cavalrymen who escaped from the Omikae Akimasa Regiment have been brought to Gao Family Village.

From the mouths of these Japanese soldiers, they learned the details of the cavalry regiment's battle with the special operations brigade.

When the two sides first met, the other side had artillery bombardment, but the firepower was not very fierce.

Under the command of the regiment commander at that time, these Japanese cavalrymen quickly responded and suffered few casualties.

From this, it was inferred that the special operations brigade did not have many cannons and their power was not great!

In fact, this is also true: survivor bias!

These surviving Japanese soldiers did not feel that the special operations brigade's artillery bombardment was so remarkable.

They were all ordinary soldiers and did not pay attention to the overall situation at all.

Only commanders like Omikae Akimasa would have lingering fears about the special operations brigade's artillery bombardment.

Unfortunately, the Omikae Akimasa has already passed away and cannot jump up to refute.

From these deserters, Brigade Commander Setakei learned an important piece of news:

The special operations brigade's landmines were particularly powerful.

The cavalry regiment was harmed by their landmines.

Landmines explode, infantry fights!

The cavalry regiment collapses!

That's the situation.

All these surviving cavalrymen had the same story, as if they had colluded.

Every Japanese cavalryman was very afraid of the special operations brigade's landmines.

In their mouths, landmines were more terrifying than thunder.

Even more powerful than a 150mm howitzer.

If it were normal times, Brigade Commander Setakei would have reprimanded these deserters for talking nonsense.

Now he no longer dared to be so rash: this was a lesson learned by a cavalry regiment with the lives of two thousand imperial warriors.

How to break the landmines?

Brigade Commander Setakei looked at Regiment Commander Numata Takakazuo, his eyes scanning the entire command post.

Regiment Commander Numata Takakazuo immediately said: "Send sappers to clear the mines!"

Of course, sappers should be used for landmines.

Brigade Commander Setakei accepted this suggestion.

There was a company of sappers in the team that marched with them this time.

Their original task was to build bridges and pave roads, but they had not been used on this plain.

Now this sapper company had something to do.

The Ishida Yuto company of sappers received the order to clear mines.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised: the entire infantry battalion had not encountered a single landmine from the time they set off until now.

Is there even a need to clear mines?

What mines to clear?

Incomprehensible!

The brigade commander directly issued the order: whether you understand it or not, you must execute it.

This order, whether reasonable or unreasonable, at least had no risk.

Company Commander Ishida Yuto was still clear about this.

After receiving the order, his company of Japanese soldiers no longer had the right to rest.

They needed to set off immediately to clear mines.

The Japanese troops of the Kagawa Yoshiro Battalion and the Okamura Jiro Battalion had been rushing all morning and were now beginning to rest.

Drinking water and eating dry food!

Preparing to launch an offensive against the National Army in the next stage.

Now these Japanese infantrymen had seen those hundreds of dejected cavalrymen.

The Japanese troops of the Omikae Akimasa cavalry regiment usually rode tall horses, whistling as they came and went!

When did they ever show this appearance today?

Like a wronged little daughter-in-law, they didn't dare to speed up when riding their war horses.

Afraid that the dust raised by the horses' running would invite the infantry's scolding.

The Japanese cavalry's performance naturally aroused the discussion of the infantrymen.

Some infantrymen also went up to inquire with cavalrymen they knew.

As a result, the news that the cavalry regiment suffered 2,000 casualties in a wave of attacks by the National Army this morning

Spread quickly among the two infantry battalions.

"Have you heard? Regiment Commander Omikae Akimasa died in action!"

"I just heard about it. I heard that the body has not been found yet!"

"The regiment commander died so tragically! I heard that he was directly blown up by a shell.

Neither the man nor the horse had a complete body. Where can we find the remains?"

"Is this National Army opposite us so powerful?"

"Everyone be careful! After all, it's a team that can defeat a cavalry regiment."

…

Rumors always spread at the fastest speed.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the Japanese troops rested in Gao Family Village, the Japanese troops of the two battalions all knew about the cavalry regiment's defeat.

This was not a good sign! Regiment Commander Numata Takakazuo ordered: "Tell all the soldiers to shut up!

No one is allowed to discuss the cavalry regiment's affairs."

Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro and Battalion Commander Okamura Jiro immediately conveyed the regiment commander's order.

All the companies, squads, and team leaders seriously issued gag orders to their subordinates.

The officers were angry!

The Japanese soldiers below were all trembling with fear.

Suddenly, the atmosphere that had just been hotly debated stopped abruptly.

Like a comedy being played, someone suddenly pressed the pause button.

The Japanese infantrymen of the two battalions just quietly drank water and ate dry food.

Or sat there blankly, no longer daring to speak to each other, for fear of being misunderstood by the officers.

Time passed little by little in such a dull atmosphere.

Lakeside of Weishan Lake: Tang Enbo's two armies are still hidden.

They haven't moved from morning till now.

When the special operations brigade fought against the Omikae Akimasa cavalry regiment, they watched from the side.

Without any expression: without Tang Enbo's order, these two army commanders did not dare to issue an attack order.

Now that the two infantry battalions of the Japanese army have arrived at Gao Family Village, these two armies still have not moved.

They are waiting for the order from Commander-in-Chief Tang Enbo.

In fact, at this time, the 85th Army plus the 75th Army had a total of five divisions, a full 50,000 people.

On the plain, 50,000 soldiers were facing 2,500 Japanese infantrymen, a 20-to-1 troop strength.

They could completely take the initiative to attack, whether it was to cut off the Japanese army's retreat or to encircle the Japanese army on the spot in Gao Family Village.

These were no longer a problem at all.

It's just that Tang Enbo has not made up his mind now, and he doesn't know what he is waiting for.

Perhaps he wanted to wait for the special operations brigade to fight the Japanese army to a stalemate, or to attack after the Japanese infantry was exhausted.

As for whether these people in the special operations brigade can hold on until that time, it is not within consideration.

If they hold on until that time, they will attack and catch the Japanese army off guard.

If the special operations brigade cannot hold on until that time, the entire army will retreat, and it will be as if nothing happened.

Lin Fan is now much more confident than in the morning.

When he fought against the Japanese cavalry in the morning, Lin Fan was not confident.

After all, there were more than 2,000 Japanese cavalrymen, and on his side, only one company could truly be controlled and had combat experience.

The newly joined soldiers need a process.

It is completely unscientific to want these soldiers to follow the special operations brigade wholeheartedly and listen to orders in just one day!

This is why Lin Fan understood that the best way for infantry to fight cavalry was positional warfare, and he insisted on going to the field.

The purpose of doing this was to make the Japanese army underestimate the enemy and be willing to fight with him.

Another purpose was to let all the recruits who followed the special operations brigade understand:

If infantry encounters cavalry in the field, they will die if they don't fight desperately!

The battle in the morning went well, and these recruits already had a sense of identity and trust in the special operations brigade.

They already felt that the special operations brigade was a team that could fight and win battles.

Now the soldiers' morale is much higher than in the morning.

And they are no longer blindly following; these soldiers really have confidence.

The Japanese army split into two routes and sent two engineering teams of 100 men each to clear mines.

From this trend, Lin Fan understood that the Japanese army already knew that the special operations brigade used directional bombs to deal with the cavalry.

It's just that they thought it was landmines!

The Japanese soldiers of the Ishida Yuto Company followed the clearing plan given by the two battalion commanders.

They divided into two routes and cleared mines from two directions.

The situation was as Company Commander Ishida Yuto expected: the two mine-clearing teams were safe all the way.

They did not encounter any trouble at all.

They had approached the National Army's defensive position, and the National Army was 200 meters ahead.

To this extent, it was no longer the scope of work for the sappers.

Even if there were landmines, the infantry would use their own bodies to remove them.

The sappers of the Ishida Yuto Company finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They could safely go back to report.

After receiving the news that the sappers had cleared the landmines on the road and that the infantry could attack,

Brigade Commander Setakei casually asked, "How many landmines were cleared?"

This was an awkward question. The mine clearing was personally arranged by the brigade commander.

If many landmines were cleared, or even one landmine, it would prove that the brigade commander was wise.

Reality was the most embarrassing. Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro vaguely reported:

"Following the brigade commander's instructions, the engineering team cleared two passages 2,000 meters long and 10 meters wide in total."

Brigade Commander Setakei no longer struggled with how many landmines were cleared.

He ordered: "The 1st Battalion will launch an attack from the due south direction, and the 2nd Battalion will launch an attack from the due east direction immediately."

The two infantry battalions, which had already rested, immediately took action.

The Japanese infantrymen, who had just been silenced, had been waiting for this order for a long time.

In their current situation, marching and fighting was much more comfortable than sitting still.

In silence, the Japanese troops of the two infantry battalions quietly set off.

As soon as they moved, Mao Wenxing in the air had already sent the news back.

This was the benefit of having an air commander. Lin Fan clearly knew the two directions of the Japanese attack.

The two main companies immediately adjusted their defensive directions. The 1st Company guarded the due south direction, and the 2nd Company guarded the due east direction.

Good steel is used on the edge of the knife, and good soldiers are used on the battlefield.

The 1st Company and the 2nd Company are now the absolute main infantry force in these 6,000 troops.

Of course, Lin Fan had to arrange them in the most suitable positions.

The artillery platoon was still supporting from the center.

Taierzhuang, which was originally the center of the entire battlefield, had become a foil several times these days.

During the battle of Xiangcheng a few days ago, both the enemy and us paid attention to the main energy in the past.

On the morning of April 3, Zhao Village, located between Tengxian and Lincheng, has now become the most eye-catching focus on the entire Xuzhou battlefield.

The 5th War Zone received the battle report in the morning.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi looked at the telegram sent by Tang Enbo: "The Special Operations Brigade defeated the Omikae Akimasa Cavalry Regiment at 11:00 am, killed the Omikae Akimasa Regiment Commander, and annihilated more than 1,700 Japanese cavalrymen in one fell swoop."

This was the data that the reconnaissance teams of the National Army's 85th Army and 75th Army actually counted on the battlefield.

In fact, they had not added the hundreds of cavalrymen who had been constantly lured by the Special Operations Brigade's reconnaissance team to annihilate the Japanese reconnaissance units before the decisive battle.

The Special Operations Brigade actually annihilated more than 2,000 Japanese troops in the Omikae Akimasa Cavalry Regiment this morning.

The staff members of the 5th War Zone Command quickly searched for the location of Zhao Village on the map.

They were all nervously discussing how the Special Operations Brigade had defeated a Japanese regiment with more than 2,300 cavalrymen.

They were clear about the strength of the Special Operations Brigade in Zhao Village now: two infantry companies and one artillery platoon.

At most, there were 400 people.

How did 400 infantrymen defeat more than 2,000 Japanese cavalrymen?

And it wasn't even called defeating them. It could be completely said that they were annihilated, right?

Even if more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers stood still, it would take a lot of effort for 400 people to kill them all.

Incomprehensible!

The 5th War Zone Command constantly communicated with the 20th Army, asking how this battle was fought.

Fortunately, the 20th Army had two reconnaissance teams that had been watching the battle from start to finish.

It was completely like two military observation groups.

When the 5th War Zone Command heard that the Special Operations Brigade was not 400 people at all, but a team of nearly 6,000 people,

Bai Chongxi immediately understood: Lin Fan was using the puppet troops and laborers as his own soldiers.

His face suddenly changed.

This…

He had never thought of this situation.

Bai Chongxi, known as "Little Zhuge," thought a little too much.

He thought of such a powerful organizational mobilization ability, which could transform a puppet army into his own team in a short period of time.

And he could also lead such a team to fight, and it was infantry fighting cavalry on the plains.

Such a team and such a talent would naturally be a good team and a good talent when fighting the Japanese.

But what about after the Japanese are driven away?

The War of Resistance will definitely be won! Bai Chongxi never doubted this.

Although he had no evidence to prove this point, it did not affect his understanding.

Thinking of Lin Fan's faith, Bai Chongxi was no longer as excited as he had just been.

Li Zongren was a little puzzled: "Bai Xiong! Have you been too tired these days?

Why is your face suddenly so bad?"

Bai Chongxi shook his head, as if to shake out his thoughts just now.

Now is not the time to think about fighting for the country in the future. The current goal is to fight the Japanese.

He ordered Tang Enbo: "Closely cooperate with the Special Operations Brigade, and strive to annihilate the two Japanese infantry battalions in Gao Family Village, so as to lay a good foundation for the subsequent counterattack in Taierzhuang."

Since the battle of Xiangcheng, the strategic situation on the Linyi-Taierzhuang line has been tilting in the direction of the National Army.

Although the Japanese army still had the upper hand, their advantage was not as strong as it was ten days ago.

In particular, the troops transferred from various places in the 5th War Zone had successively arrived on the battlefield, and the situation on the battlefield was developing in a direction favorable to the National Army every day.

Although the 31st Division, which was mainly resisting the Japanese offensive, had been having a more difficult time every day these days,

But overall, the overall situation was still turning in a direction favorable to the National Army.

If the two thousand or so isolated Japanese troops could be annihilated here in Zhao Village,

It would be of great benefit to the entire battle of the Taierzhuang defense line.

The Japanese army only had one weakness: a small number of soldiers! Two thousand cavalrymen had already been annihilated in Zhao Village. If another two thousand infantrymen were annihilated, it would already hurt the Japanese army's vitality.

Every senior officer in the 5th War Zone Command was clear about this.

Tang Enbo was also clear, but he did not want to expose his main force.

At the same time, he knew in his heart that there would definitely be a lot of casualties if he wanted to annihilate the two Japanese infantry battalions.

If casualties really needed to be paid, he hoped that the Special Operations Brigade would pay for it.

The achievements would be led by the 20th Army.

The news that the cavalry regiment of the 9th Division had been severely damaged reached Division Commander Isoya Renjie.

He couldn't believe his ears: he was only going out to destroy a guerrilla team of 400 people.

How could his elite cavalry regiment have suffered heavy casualties? Wasn't this false intelligence!

…

Of course, Division Commander Isoya Renjie knew that no subordinate dared to send him such false intelligence.

He was an excellent commander, and he could accept all blows.

Soon, Division Commander Isoya Renjie accepted the fact that 90% of the cavalry regiment had been wiped out.

Now he was furious. Division Commander Isoya Renjie only gave Brigade Commander Setakei an order: "Annihilate that team, and don't leave a single one alive."

"Hai!" Whether Brigade Commander Setakei could do it or not,

The order had to be accepted first.

In fact, Brigade Commander Setakei really had no confidence in his heart now.

Because the National Army on the opposite side was not 400, nor 4,000, but 6,000.

But he didn't dare to report this news. Reporting this news to the division commander now

It was obvious that he was afraid of the war and wanted to retreat!

He really couldn't do anything to escape before the battle.

In any case, let the imperial warriors give him a surprise!

Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro led his 1,000 Japanese troops to advance towards an unnamed highland outside Zhao Village.

Today, the brigade commander and regiment commander personally came to Gao Family Village to command.

His battalion commander could only go into battle in person.

1,000 meters away from the unnamed highland, the National Army's artillery could be clearly seen on the unnamed highland through binoculars.

The Isetani Shiro Company was the vanguard of the 1st Battalion, and they did not stop.

They continued to advance towards the target, and now they were still 800 meters away from the National Army's position.

Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro ordered: "The artillery will set up positions here and bombard the National Army's artillery first."

Although his battalion did not have large artillery pieces, they still had two infantry guns.

There were also five mortars.

With his order, these artillery pieces quickly gathered.

They immediately began to deploy.

From the time the Japanese troops set off from Gao Family Village, they had been under the close surveillance of Mao Wenxing.

Now that these Japanese troops began to build artillery positions, Mao Wenxing, of course, had to immediately report this news to Lin Fan.

Following the direction guided by Mao Wenxing, Lin Fan carefully searched and quickly identified the Japanese artillery positions.

Discover and destroy!

Lin Fan discovered the Japanese artillery positions and immediately began to issue aiming parameters, direction angles, firing elements adjustment, and a one-third reduction in the firing package to the infantry guns and mortars.

One by one, orders were issued, and under the leadership of Platoon Leader Anping, the artillery platoon was also acting quickly.

"Gun position number one! Ready!"

"Gun position number two! Ready!"

…

The reports from the gun positions were concise and powerful.

Lin Fan ordered: "Fire!"

Now was the time to strike the Japanese army's fixed targets, and the situation was relaxed.

Lin Fan did not use the 88mm anti-aircraft gun.

Lin Fan would not use anti-aircraft guns unless it was necessary.

This was because the supply of shells for anti-aircraft guns was very difficult here in Taierzhuang.

In fact, the supply of all ammunition was very difficult.

It's just that the Special Operations Brigade grabbed ammunition and supplies from the Japanese army, so for those weapons used by the Japanese army,

If the Special Operations Brigade ran out of ammunition, they would go to the Japanese army to grab it.

However, the Japanese army did not have 88mm anti-aircraft guns, so they could only use the shells that the Special Operations Brigade had airlifted from Jurong.

Therefore, Lin Fan would not use anti-aircraft guns for tasks that could be completed with mortars and infantry guns.

The situation this morning, when anti-aircraft guns were used to attack the Japanese cavalry, was only because there were too many Japanese troops.

There were too many recruits in the Special Operations Brigade, and Lin Fan had to give everyone a visual impact and boost morale, so he had to waste dozens of precious 88mm howitzer shells.

After Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro issued the order to build artillery positions, only the Isetani Shiro Company in the front of his battalion continued to advance.

The rest of the infantrymen stopped.

Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro did not press all his troops up at once, with the idea of going all-in with the National Army.

He wanted to first test the weaknesses of the National Army's position in front.

That's how battles are fought, finding the opponent's weaknesses and then seizing them.

According to this method of fighting, even if a 30-year-old strong man had his weaknesses controlled by a five-year-old child, he would still be unable to resist.

What's more, Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro never thought that his team was a child.

He looked at the unnamed highland in the distance, staring at the artillery on the highland.

Through the binoculars, he could clearly see the National Army soldiers frantically fiddling with the artillery.

"Do they want to fire artillery too?" Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro sneered in his heart.

Accompanying his smile, artillery shells flew from the highland and smashed towards his direction.

The rumbling explosions rang out behind Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro.

Putting down the binoculars, Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro turned around.

He saw that the artillery positions he had ordered to be built were now filled with smoke.

The smile on his face suddenly froze.

Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro sobbed in a voice that only he could hear: "No!"

"This is not the scene I imagined."

He didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of affecting the morale of the entire battalion.

Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro didn't even dare to show too much disappointment.

The smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a serious expression:

"Order Company Commander Isetani Shiro to launch an attack immediately.

I want him to capture that damned artillery position immediately."

Even without binoculars, he could still see that the artillery position was still firing artillery shells.

The artillery positions behind him were still exploding.

No matter what he did, he couldn't change it.

Battalion Commander Kagawa Yoshiro was clear: his infantry battalion's original artillery, which was not much, was now impossible to have a single one left.

Strike while the iron is hot!

Lin Fan never had any sympathy for the Japanese army.

The Japanese artillery positions must be completely destroyed.

A full 40 artillery shells were fired, all hitting that narrow area.

It was impossible to directly see the effect of the bombardment due to the smoke.

Because of this, Lin Fan had Platoon Leader Anping add another round of bombardment.

Then he began to modify the firing elements and began indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese infantry within the range of the artillery.

The Japanese troops of the Kagawa Yoshiro Battalion had to endure all the bombardment of the artillery platoon of the Special Operations Brigade.

They endured everything.

This was not because Lin Fan only had eyes for the Japanese troops in their direction.

Lin Fan set up the artillery platoon on the highest point of this unnamed highland. The Japanese troops in the other direction were rushing towards the Special Operations Brigade.

He saw it too.

It's just that the artillery platoon couldn't be in two places at once. If they caught a wave of Japanese troops, they would have to make this wave of Japanese troops look good first.

Company Commander Gu Xiuming of the 1st Company, of course, couldn't let the brigade commander and the others be so busy all the time.

The infantry guns and mortars of the 1st Company also cooperated with the artillery platoon to bombard the Japanese infantry battalion.

The Special Operations Brigade's attack on the Japanese cavalry this morning was because of the characteristics of the cavalry.

The battle started quickly and ended quickly.

Many new recruits didn't have much experience.

Now they saw the Special Operations Brigade's artillery bombardment, and artillery shells were exploding in the Japanese infantry formation.

Very few artillery shells missed the target.

The artillery shells could reach such accuracy, and these people who had been soldiers for more than ten years were all surprised.

They talked to each other and discussed.

Before this, these new recruits had been shocked again and again by the veterans of the Special Operations Brigade.

At this time, they were shocked once again.

With such a team, no wonder they dared to attack Tengxian with only 400 people.

Some people were thinking that Commander Liu Guitang still had vision. He only heard the banner of the Special Operations Brigade and began to retreat.

Fighting against such a team, you could only be annihilated or surrender.

Liu Guitang didn't want to choose either, so he could only escape.

Soon, the teams guarding both sides of the 1st Company discovered one thing: whether it was the artillery platoon on the hilltop or the artillerymen of the 1st Company,

They did not bombard the Japanese squadron charging in the front.

It was as if it was an invisible squadron, and no one had discovered them.

Having been in the Japanese army for so many years, these new recruits knew at a glance that the ones attacking were a Japanese squadron.

Why?

Why didn't they bombard this squadron of Japanese soldiers?

Ma Dazhuang was itching unbearably, and Qin Laosan was also itching unbearably.

The two of them were talkative in the first place, and they had to say a few words even if there was nothing to say.

Now they couldn't bear it even more.

Ma Dazhuang whispered to Ye Tianshi beside him, "Company Commander! The Japanese troops in the front are about to reach the position.

Why aren't they bombing them?"

The surrounding soldiers were all ears.

Afraid of missing every word Ye Tianshi said.

Ye Tianshi said with a smile, "They are all dead, is there any need to waste artillery shells?"

Ma Dazhuang mustered his courage and pointed at the Japanese troops: "Company Commander is joking, they can still run, jump, and charge.

How could they be dead?"

"Anyway, they are about to die, so there is no need to waste artillery shells to bomb them.

If I reveal the answer now, it will be called a spoiler.

You won't enjoy watching it anymore.

Watch carefully, this is how we fight battles.

Good steel must be used on the edge of the knife.

Good artillery must be fired at the heads of the Japanese troops. For those Japanese troops who are already dead,

Or those who are about to die, there is no need to waste artillery shells and bullets."

Hearing the company commander say bullets,

These soldiers understood: yes!

A squadron of Japanese troops had already rushed into a 100-meter range.

The 1st Company of the Special Operations Company had not fired a single bullet yet.

The artillery shells that were fired were all bombing the Japanese troops 500 meters away.

"They are not scared silly by the Japanese troops, right!" a soldier whispered.

Qin Laosan was dissatisfied and immediately said, "You are the one who is silly. Didn't you see how they fought in the morning?

A team that can stand firm even when the Japanese cavalry charges will be scared by these Japanese troops who are climbing the slope slower than turtles?"

"That was the 2nd Company in the morning, but this is the 1st Company!" the voice insisted in a low voice.

"The 1st Company is the company commander's old unit. You are slandering the 1st Company like this. Be careful that the company commander gives you trouble." Qin Laosan threatened fiercely.

Ye Tianshi said with a smile, "It's okay to ask questions if you have them. There is no problem with this.

It's not slander to have doubts.

Don't be afraid, brothers! But Qin Laosan is right in one sentence,

I am the 3rd platoon leader of the 1st Company.

Let me put it this way, when the 1st Company was established, the 2nd Company was still like you yesterday."

These new recruits had not turned the corner for a while.

Qin Laosan thought: "Did the company commander rescue the 2nd Company from the Japanese troops?

Just like rescuing us?"

Ye Tianshi proudly said, "Yes!

You will be as combat-effective as the 2nd Company in the future."

"My God! The 2nd Company was also a puppet army!" a voice exclaimed.

A voice scolded, "What do you mean the 2nd Company was also a puppet army? You should say the 2nd Company was once a puppet army!

Is that right, Company Commander!"

Ye Tianshi couldn't laugh or cry: "That's right, the past doesn't mean anything.

The key is to see what you do in the future.

In a person's life, you will always make mistakes of this kind or that kind.

As long as you don't make fundamental, irreversible mistakes,

As long as you change and are willing to fight the Japanese together, you are still our comrades."

These soldiers listened carefully to Ye Tianshi's words.

Now they liked this company commander very much.

Company Commander Ye spoke nicely and humorously, and he was also very kind.

The most important thing was that his skills were very strong. These new recruits in the entire company, even if three of them joined forces in bayonet fighting, could not beat him.

Of course, such a company commander had to be respected.

Ye Tianshi watched as the Japanese troops of the Isetani Shiro Company entered the 50-meter range.

He quickly said, "Don't blink your eyes, a miracle is about to happen."

He stopped talking and stared intently at the front of the 1st Company's position.

Qin Laosan wanted to say something, but as soon as he was about to open his mouth, he was fiercely stared at by Ma Dazhuang.

He immediately covered his mouth and forcibly suppressed the urge to speak.

Staring at the front of the 1st Company's position.

Company Commander Isetani Shiro was in the rear of the entire company.

He was also wondering: why haven't the defenders here opened fire yet?

When his team was 150 meters away from the trenches in front, the Japanese troops of the entire company were already prepared.

They were ready to meet the hail of bullets from the opposite side.

As a result, nothing happened.

All that came was the gentle breeze on the spring plain, blowing across their faces.

Blowing the green wheat seedlings under their feet, the wheat seedlings made rustling sounds.

A field fragrance blew into the noses of these Japanese troops with the breeze.

If it weren't for the sound of artillery shells exploding behind them, these Japanese troops would have been completely like they were on a picnic.

Perhaps it was a little far away. Company Commander Isetani Shiro comforted himself like this.

When his entire company entered a 100-meter range, the bullets that were expected to come crashing down still did not arrive.

This made these Japanese troops feel a little strange on the entire battlefield.

When the spring breeze blew over, they were all afraid.

It was as if this spring breeze was a call from hell.

No matter how strange it was, these Japanese troops had to continue forward.

In order to break this strange atmosphere,

Company Commander Isetani Shiro pulled out his command knife and shouted loudly towards the position on the unnamed highland that was still firing artillery shells: "Charge!"

"Charge!" The Japanese troops of the entire Isetani Shiro Company shouted together.

They used this roar to embolden themselves.

Everything that happened on the battlefield today was too strange.

There was artillery fire behind them, but there was silence in front of them.

Now these Japanese troops could clearly see the trenches.

Although they could not see the National Army soldiers inside the trenches yet,

Many of the dark muzzles could be clearly seen.

Why weren't they firing?

If there were some gunshots as accompaniment during the charge, or even if some of the Japanese troops around them were injured and fell to the ground, it would be better than this deathly silence.

Gu Xiuming watched as the vanguard of the Japanese troops rushed into the 30-meter range.

At this time, he ordered, "Bomb!"

Ma Dazhuang and Qin Laosan, who had been reminded by the company commander, had been staring at the position in front.

Suddenly, they saw flashes of fire in several places.
