However, the Japs Air Force was destined to make this trip in vain, because before they arrived at the battlefield, the Fifth Battalion had already withdrawn into the woods. Although the Japs pilots of the Third Flying Regiment were extremely high-quality, they could even be called The best pilot in the world today, but it is impossible to find the target in the dense forest.
After circling in the sky for a few times and throwing a wave of bombs randomly, the Japanese airmen returned one after another.
Of course, this is only the first wave of Japanese attack aircraft, and there are several more echelons of attack aircraft behind it. If the new group thinks that after the first wave of attack aircraft leaves, they can launch another attack, they will be caught. , but fortunately, Xu Rui has experienced many battles and did not fall into this trick.
Besides, Shi Changqing and the fifth battalion were laughed at by all the battalion commanders immediately after they withdrew.
Especially Gao Chu, commander of the third battalion, and Tiegang, commander of the first cavalry battalion, spoke without mercy. To paraphrase Gao Chu, our relationship is good, but we must not be vague when it comes to ridicule.
"Old Shi, what happened?" Gao Chu said heyly, "You can't even win such a simple position. You are really getting better and better. At this level, you still compete with me for the main attack?"
Shi Changqing had a dark face and didn't know how to refute. The battle was not going well, and he didn't have the face to refute.
"I'd say you infantry are just a bunch of scum. If the commander of the regiment gives the main attack mission to our cavalry battalion, I can take it in minutes! Fifteen minutes, no, five minutes at most, we can end the battle!" The battalion commander Tiegang went even further and struck a wider area, even mocking all five main infantry battalions.
In comparison, He Shuya, Huang Shouxin and Lin Wei who came from the youth training camp were much more low-key. Although they were ridiculed by Tiegang, they were not angry at all, as if what Tiegang said was true.
But Gao Chu also had a bad temper and became anxious immediately upon hearing this.
"Oh, let me go, Lao Tie, what do you mean?" Gao Chu said unhappily, "When you talk about Lao Shi, just talk about Lao Shi. Why did you bring our third battalion with you? Lao Shi's fifth battalion is a bunch of scum, I Not the third battalion! Don’t be dissatisfied. Didn’t the third battalion of the last competition push your cavalry battalion to the ground and rub it?"
Tiegang said angrily: "That's all if you don't mention this matter. I get angry when you mention this. Although the third battalion of the cavalry battalion won the last competition, the victory was not glorious. If it weren't for the large number of you, , in a wheel battle, how can our cavalry battalion lose to you group of cowards? Just dream of your Qingqiu dream!"
"I don't care, our third battalion won anyway!" Gao Chu said with a smile.
Tiegang became even more angry after hearing this and was about to continue arguing when he suddenly saw He Shuya, Huang Shouxin, Lin Wei and others standing at attention and saluting. When he looked back quickly, he saw that Xu Rui had walked over, and he quickly stood up and saluted. He called out the captain again, but a pair of eyes involuntarily glanced behind Xu Rui.
Not only Tiegang, but also several battalion commanders glanced at Chiyoko Inoue behind Xu Rui.
I have to admit that Chiyoko Inoue, this little bitch, is really very attractive to men! Of course, these battalion commanders were just looking at it, purely appreciating it, and would not have any undue thoughts in their hearts, because they felt that Chiyoko Inoue belonged to the regiment leader. Although the regiment commander never admitted it, they felt that the fact was so.
So, when they looked at Xu Rui one by one, they showed full of envy.
Shi Changqing had no such intention and said anxiously: "Commander, give our Fifth Battalion another chance!"
"Give your fifth battalion another chance?" Xu Rui snorted and said coldly, "What did you say before?"
Shi Changqing immediately became speechless. In order to get the chance to attack, he had promised Xu Rui that he could take down the Japanese position with one assault. If he couldn't take it with one assault, he would let Xu Rui replace him. Shi Changqing would definitely I don’t have any complaints, I didn’t expect that I didn’t win it!
At this time, Shi Changqing was so depressed that he almost vomited out blood.
However, we still have to fight for what we should fight for. At that moment, Shi Changqing gave up and said: "Captain, I admit that I did say some big words before, but please give our Fifth Battalion another chance no matter what. I promise, this time I will I really guarantee that we will capture the Japanese positions and completely wipe out the 229th Japanese Infantry Regiment!"
Xu Rui didn't give Shi Changqing a chance at all and said, "This time we will change to the fourth battalion!"
When they originally competed for this main attack task, He Shuya and Huang Shouxin did not participate. Only Lin Wei, Gao Chu and Shi Changqing competed. In the end, Shi Changqing won the competition. At that time, Shi Changqing was quite proud and made some sarcastic remarks. So, just now, Only Gao Chu would mock him so ruthlessly, but he didn't expect that the fifth battalion would be replaced by the fourth battalion.
When Gao Chu heard this, he immediately became anxious and shouted: "Commander, why is it the fourth battalion?"
"Why can't it be the Fourth Battalion?" Xu Rui glared at Gao Chu coldly, then turned back and asked Lin Wei, "Xiao Lin, tell me what you think. How are you going to fight this battle?"
Lin Wei smiled slightly and said: "Captain, this battle is actually very easy to fight."
"What did you say? Very easy to fight?" Shi Changqing's eyes bulged out when he heard this, and he said angrily, "Xiao Linzi, everyone can tell big words, but if you can't win the Japanese position later, I won't be polite to you!"
"Okay." Lin Wei said confidently, "If we can't win the position, let Battalion Commander Shi handle it!"
"That's what you said!" Shi Changqing was so depressed that he almost vomited blood and retreated blearily.
Lin Wei then said to Xu Rui: "Captain, I don't know whether you noticed it or not. This group of Japs came in a hurry, so they don't have much luggage with them."
While talking, Lin Wei signaled two guards to drag over a Japanese corpse.
Lin Wei knelt down and took off the backpack and satchel from the Japanese corpse. Then he opened it and found that except for towels, cigarettes and chocolate biscuits, the rest were rice balls and ammunition.
Shi Changqing frowned and said, "Don't you want to use a siege tactic?"
"Siege? How is this possible?" Lin Wei shook his head and said, "If we really adopt siege tactics, the Japanese reinforcements will arrive before we can trap the Japanese here to death. This will definitely not work."
Shi Changqing asked: "If it's not a siege, then what is it?"
Lin Weixiao asked: "Didn't Battalion Commander Shi realize that the Japs didn't wear gas masks?"
"Gas mask?" Shi Changqing was immediately stunned when he heard this, and then subconsciously rummaged through the Japanese's backpack and satchel. There was indeed no gas mask inside. Then he realized it and said in shock, "Xiao Linzi, are you planning to release poison gas?" He paused. After a pause, he continued, "But the problem is, our new group doesn't have gas bombs either?"
"Who said there isn't?" Lin Wei chuckled, pointed at the surrounding mountains and forests, and said, "There are gas bombs everywhere!"
Shi Changqing finally came to his senses and said in stunned silence, "You mean, setting fire to smoke? That's okay?"
"Why not?" Lin Wei pointed around and continued, "Look at the terrain around here. Although the Japs occupy the high ground in the middle, they are still in a depression on the whole, and the mountain wind cannot enter, so as long as the smoke rises If they get up, they will definitely not be able to disperse in a short time, and then the Japanese will have no choice but to wait and die!"
Xu Rui immediately shouted: "Artu, take people back to the fortress immediately to get the gas mask!"
There are thousands of gas masks stored in the Wujiashan Fortress. They were specially prepared by the Japanese to prevent the Soviet army from carrying out poison gas attacks. Unexpectedly, they were used by the New Regiment as offensive weapons!
Lin Wei said quickly: "No need, Captain, I have already asked people to get 500 masks!"
Xu Rui said happily: "Very good, Xiaolin, let's see the performance of your fourth battalion next!"
"Yes!" Lin Wei stood up straight and said, "The Fourth Battalion will never disappoint the commander's expectations!"
…
Hunchun County, 38th Division Headquarters.
Otsukui walked into the war room excitedly and reported to Yamashita Tofumi and Furukawa Shinnosuke: "Your Excellency, Commander, the division commander, we have just received a telegram from the Yamagata Regiment. They have successfully repelled the attack of the new regiment. ! Killed more than a hundred enemy people, and killed and wounded countless enemy troops!"
Furukawa Shinnosuke and Kobayashi Asaburo suddenly became energetic after hearing this.
Yamashita Fengfumi also smiled and said: "What did I say before? It will not be easy for the new group to eat the Yamagata Regiment. Doesn't this really come true? I still know Yamagata Takeshi very well. He loves to use his brain. There is a way to fight, and Yamagata United performed very well in Chita, and this time it still did not disappoint me!"
"Sodais." Asaburo Kobayashi immediately complimented, "Yamagata-kun has performed well, but this is also inseparable from the commander's knowledge of people and good responsibilities. You must know that it was the commander who strongly recommended Yamagata-kun to the base camp. Captain of the 229th Infantry Regiment."
Furukawa Shinnosuke also said: "Your Excellency, Commander, has a vision and knowledge that I admire greatly even in this humble position."
Da Jinkui also interjected: "Only Your Excellency, Commander, can gain the upper hand in a contest with Xu Rui, the empire's mortal enemy. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, he would definitely not be Xu Rui's opponent!"
As he talked, the building became crooked. It was obviously Yamagata's fierce fighting, but it was Yamashita Fengfumi's credit.
After a pause, Otsukui continued: "Your Excellency, Commander, Yamagata-kun has assured us that the 229th Infantry Regiment will be able to hold on until the main force of the Seventh Army arrives, and then give the new regiment a center to blossom. .”
"Yoshi, you are indeed Yamagata-kun." Kobayashi Asaburo did not hesitate to praise Yamagata fiercely, and continued, "A truly excellent commander will never only know how to passively take a beating without fighting back. Yamagata-kun will That’s right, even though we are currently being besieged from all sides by the new group, we are already thinking about how to counterattack when the time comes!”
Yamashita Fengwen nodded, and was about to ask where the other divisions were, but when he looked up, he saw a major staff officer hurriedly walking in with a folder under his arm.
