Chapter 90 The advance army is in action
Thousand-foot cliff.
Today, Qianzhang Cliff has undergone tremendous changes when Wang Yue first arrived here more than two months ago. Especially since Wang Yue sent back a large amount of steel and cement and other materials from Shangshanghai, Zhou Xiong has brought a lot of steel and cement to strengthen Qianzhang Cliff's defense.
After destroying the Fuyuantian Squadron, in order to lure the disaster eastward, he had to burn the war to Qianzhang Cliff, which attracted the bombardment of the Japanese artillery squad. In the end, all three major checkpoints on Qianzhang Cliff were destroyed, and even the simple houses on the top of the mountain were burned out. After the steel and cement came this time, Zhou Xiong applied for more than ten tons of cement and steel from Wang Yue and Mao Erde to build the checkpoints and bunkers. Wang Yue naturally could not disagree.
Cliff top, Juyi Hall.
Although many of his subordinates suggested that Zhou Xiong change the signboard of Juyi Hall, after all, we are regular soldiers now, but Zhou Xiong thinks it should be kept because as long as the advance army leaves the Yalu Mountain base, they must change their clothes. Just like the soldiers of Zhou Xiong's third camp, even on Qianzhang Cliff, they are not allowed to wear camouflage uniforms and other regular military uniforms, so the purpose is naturally obvious.
Today, the Juyi Hall was lit up again and beef and mutton were roasted. New comrades were singing and dancing to welcome the joining. Of course, those who could enter the Juyi Hall were at least platoon-level officers, so the soldiers naturally couldn't get in. After all, the place was not big enough.
"I, Lao Xiong, are a rough man. Today, brothers join my third camp. From now on, everyone will be brothers. Let's talk about this bowl of wine first. Let's talk about it." Zhou Xiong sat in the first place, still in the style of a boss, generous and straightforward. As soon as he finished speaking, he was full of a large bowl of charcoal and then got a stomachache.
The eight new platoon leaders looked at the sea of burning knives in front of them, and a few of them were full of burning knives. Although most of the men in the Northeast can drink, they can still hold a small pound of high-burning knives in one gulp, after all, there are still a few.
However, the battalion commanders took the lead in drinking. The company commanders above him also served a full drink. No matter how unwilling they were, they could only hold their breath and all of them were stuffy. After drinking, three or four new platoon leaders lay under the table, and the remaining few were blushing and thick-necked. They held on.
"Haha, okay, it doesn't matter if you don't have alcohol tolerance. We can practice, but if you don't have alcohol, I will look down on Lao Zhou. There are also several brothers who are good, very good." Zhou Xiong smiled and continued, "Now let's introduce yourself, Chief of Staff, you come first."
"Your rules must be changed in the future, otherwise I will have to lie down again." Fang Wenzhou smiled helplessly and continued: "I am your chief of staff. Fang Wenzhou, if you need any help in the future, come to me."
"Chief of Staff, OK." Several new platoon leaders who had not yet fallen back quickly replied.
The next few company platoon leaders also began to introduce themselves: "Company Commander of the Third Battalion, Li Tai."
"Company Commander of the Second Company of the Third Battalion, Song Dapao."
"Corp of the Third Battalion, Qin Hong."
"Company Commander of the Third Battalion Fourth Company, Xie Wugen."
...
After the introduction, I took another bowl of rice balls. This is the old rules of the Third Battalion, or the rules of these old bandits. After half an hour, the eight new platoon leaders were placed in one after another. This was the right way to treat the new gangs.
After drinking and eating, Zhou Xiong and his party entered the combat room on the right side of Juyi Hall. The combat room was full of various maps, including China map, Heijiang Province map, and a world map that had not been verified by Wang Yue.
"Didn't you drink too much?" Zhou Xiong looked at the old brothers with red faces and asked with a smile.
When we walked into this conference room, there were only battalion commanders Zhou Xiong, chief of staff Fang Wenzhou, and four company commanders. Logically speaking, the company chief of staff and deputy company commanders could also attend this meeting, but the troops were only upgraded today, so these company chiefs and deputy company commanders were naturally not selected. After all, the four company commanders were still platoon commanders last night.
"Haha, boss, we are not what you have learned from you. Even if we get two more pounds, it's okay." Company commander Li Tai took the lead and said with a smile.
"I'm still okay." Fang Wenzhou smiled helplessly. If he had not gone to the toilet during the meal, manually inducing vomiting, and doing some tricks, he might be really ineffective.
"Chief of Staff, you also attended the headquarters meeting today, so you can summarize it." Zhou Xiong nodded.
"Okay." Fang Wenzhou took a sip of tea and continued: "Our leader came back yesterday, and I believe you know it too."
"That's right, if the commander doesn't come, we can be promoted to company commander, haha." The four company commanders laughed.
"Well, although we have been building roads for a while, and it was not until late last night that the entire mountain road to the headquarters was fully opened, we may not have time to rest because we have combat missions."
Fang Wenzhou said this, and before he got up to the map of Heijiang Province, the other four company commanders also stood up to the map. Fang Wenzhou pointed to the map and said, "This is Mengliang Mountain, more than ten kilometers away from our Qianzhang Cliff, and here is the Tangwang River. If you are about forty kilometers away from the mountain road, there is also Baoquanling, which is about seventy kilometers away from our Qianzhang Cliff."
"The leaders of these three places are designated as No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4. First of all, we need to remove all the bandits from these three strongholds, and then send our soldiers to occupy it and build a new stronghold for our advance army, just like Qianzhang Cliff. Oh, forget that Qianzhang Cliff is called No. 1 stronghold."
"It's easy to fight bandits, but Wangtanghe and Baoquanling are a bit far away." The second company commander Song Dapao shouted with his mouth.
"Meng Liangshan is simple. Tomorrow, I will take the brothers from the Fourth Company and kill them directly to deal with the remaining bandits on it." Xie Wugen, the fourth platoon leader, smiled.
"Boss, just say how to fight. What's the point of discussing here?" Company commander Li Tai said simply.
"You, you, our troops will continue to grow in the future. In the future, you may also be battalion commanders, regiment commanders, or even generals. It is not impossible. It is only a matter of time before we can stand alone. So from now on, each of us must learn to think, learn more new knowledge, and use our brains more when fighting." Zhou Xiong pointed at Li Tai's head and knocked on reminding him.
"Haha, we are from beards, and we can still be generals?" Li Tai said with a smile.
"The unpromising thing, the former King of Northeast China was born as a beard, why are we worse than who we are? Besides, you have to see who we are following, do you understand?" Zhou Xiong laughed and scolded in anger, and then continued: "Chief of Staff, tell us about the combat opinions of the headquarters."
Chief of Staff Fang Wenzhou continued: "The opinions of the headquarters are considered that we have newly incorporated eight new platoons of 400 new soldiers, and we just completed the road yesterday, so we may need to take a few days off, so we hope that we can get a few days of running into action and then go on action battles. Of course, the headquarters' opinions of the first battalion and the cavalry battalion are the same, but I guess they may not rest."
"The headquarters also gave us some information, such as there is a gold mine near the Baoquanling stronghold of No. 4, where at least a Japanese squadron is stationed there. The bandits here should have surrendered the Japanese, so when we attack the Baoquanling stronghold, we must be careful of Japanese."
"Gold mine, gold mine is good. Should we just take the Japanese squadron directly?" Li Tai jumped out and laughed.
"Ahem, the gold mine matter, the headquarters' opinion is to make plans after we clear the No. 3 and No. 4 strongholds and fully gain a foothold."
"There is also the attack on these strongholds, which is not the main combat mission, but the main combat mission is here." Fang Wenzhou finally pointed to Wuyiling and said, "This is the third base of our advance army, and it may become the headquarters of our Third Battalion in the future."
"Oh, the third base?"
"The headquarters is so far away, you have to cross the Xing'an Mountains."
...
In fact, since Wang Yue issued a combat mission in the afternoon, the entire advance army has taken action. That night, not only Zhou Xiong's troops of the Third Battalion were arranging combat missions, but the first battalion and the cavalry battalion also arranged combat missions in their respective battalions, hoping to make a contribution in this battle. Only the brothers of the Artillery Battalion sighed because their mission was to assist in the combat. Only when a friendly army encountered a difficult bone would they ask them to go for support.
The next morning, Dongfang just showed a trace of whiteness.
Wang Qi's first battalion set out from the Yalu Mountain base. The target of the first battalion is Qinghe forty kilometers away. Su Renfei's troops of the Cavalry Company directly picked out fifty or sixty of the new recruits who could ride and shoot. Early in the morning, they rode to the No. 7 stronghold six looses.
At the foot of Mengliang Mountain.
"Planer Commander Duan and Platoon Commander Liu, today is our first time to fight the Japanese. I hope we can get along well in the future." The fourth company commander Xie Wugen said with a smile.
Last night, Xie Wugen took the initiative to ask for the task of cleaning Mengliang Mountain, and Zhou Xiong agreed. So just dawned, all the soldiers of the Fourth Company directly chose to cross-country for ten kilometers. Before the sun could rise, they came directly to the foot of Mengliang Mountain. Xie Wugen planned to directly take over the bandits' nests when the bandits' defense was most relaxed in the morning.
"Report to the company commander, we will be your soldiers in the future. We will fight wherever you point. If you say we will never go west, the soldiers will take obeying orders as their duty, and we instructors will give us all these." Platoon Commander Duan and Platoon Commander Liu are both young and strong men. Although they are full of energy, they have obviously become much more honest today after being poured down last night.
"Okay, let me see how the soldiers trained by the special forces are like." Xie Wugen smiled and continued: "But the leader has an order. This time, we should try to get rid of the bandit strongholds, not only to reduce our casualties, but also to capture the bandits alive, because the construction of our base requires a large amount of free labor. Tell me, can you do it?"
"able."
