Chapter 492 Too courageous
The artillery at Zhenlongkou behind waited for a long time, but did not see any Kuomintang troops charging towards the bombing area.
Occasionally, they saw the Nationalist Army launching surprise attacks on their artillery positions in Zhenlongkou.
The Japanese brigade commander, Tian Gu Chuanxiong, was almost going crazy with anger.
At this moment, he finally understood it.
The National Army had no intention of completely annihilating the Shangshui Battalion, let alone launching a surprise attack on their artillery positions.
"Report, more than half of the Shangshui Battalion were killed or wounded, and the Shangshui Battalion Commander was killed!"
Hear the report from the signalman.
Tian Gu Chuanxiong was so angry that he threw the telescope heavily to the ground.
"Bakayaloo, Bakayaloo, damn Chinese army!"
His brigade, a force of more than 10,000 people, was beaten down to only more than 3,000 people.
This was the first time in his military career.
This is simply the greatest humiliation for him.
Suddenly, a phone call came from above asking about the situation here.
After learning about the situation, his superior scolded him harshly over the phone.
The reinforcements' superiors were ready to remove him from his post, but the war was tense now, with fighting going on in many places, and they were seriously lacking a brigade commander like Tian Gu Chuanxiong who had rich combat experience.
Therefore, the superiors did not demote him or ask him to commit suicide by disembowelment. Instead, they asked him to guard Zhenlongkou here and delay the New Sixth Army and the Black Tiger Army here. After they had killed the Nationalist troops in other directions, they would form a larger encirclement on the periphery and then launch a large-scale suppression campaign against this place.
Tian Gu Chuanxiong was so grateful for the decision made by his superiors that tears welled up in his eyes.
But he soon asked for supplies to be sent up.
After all, they came in too much haste.
Moreover, many weapons and ammunition were snatched away by the New Sixth Army, the Black Tiger Army, and the Hongfei Regiment.
Especially the 105 howitzers, after so many bombings, there are only a few left.
The New Sixth Army, the Hongfei Regiment and the Black Tiger Army could attack their Zhenlongkou at any time.
With more than 10,000 people, they were no match for the enemy. Now if they wanted to defend Zhenlongkou, they must have sufficient ammunition and food.
Otherwise, with such a small number of people, they will be unable to hold on sooner or later.
The superiors agreed readily and immediately arranged for supplies to be provided to them.
Unfortunately, they were using a radio communication phone.
Tie Xiaogang happened to hear the news and was extremely happy. He quickly informed Yuan Shuai.
However, at this time, Yuan Shuai was already wrapped in a Japanese blanket, curled up in the grass and sleeping.
Seeing how tired he looked, Tie Xiaogang didn't have the heart to disturb him.
It was not until the next day, after dawn, when Yuan Shuai woke up and had dinner, that Tie Xiaogang told him the news.
"What's going on!? Are the Japs going to send supplies so soon?"
Tan Guohao, Fu Hongfei and others were extremely excited when they heard the news.
"Yes, it should be delivered soon!"
"Should?! Soon?!"
"What day is it?!"
The smiles that had just appeared on Tan Guohao and Fu Hongfei's faces suddenly froze.
Of course they hope it will be as quick as possible so they can rob along the way.
But they must know the time and route.
Otherwise how can they grab it.
Where to grab.
Tie Xiaogang scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"This devil didn't even say where exactly he was going or which route he was going to take!"
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Yuan Shuai.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm not a devil. You're a professional intelligence officer. If you don't know, how can I know?"
"I...I have already contacted them and asked them to get the news! But we still need to wait!"
"Your information?! Is your information reliable?!"
Fu Yidao rolled his eyes in displeasure.
"Why is it so unreliable?"
Tie Xiaogang immediately retorted.
Fu Yidao wanted to say something, but Fu Hongfei gave him a look and immediately shut him up.
Yuan Shuai said as he ate the Japanese canned food.
"map!"
Tan Guohao's bodyguard Xiao Du immediately spread the map on the ground.
Yuan Shuai said while chewing the can in his mouth.
"How many devils are there in the neighboring Pingyuan City?"
"According to our intelligence, Pingyuan City has long been occupied by the devils, so there should be a regiment there! But it's not clear now!"
"Not sure?"
"The other side's intelligence is unclear, and your intelligence is also unclear. How the hell are we going to fight this war?"
Yuan Shuai scolded angrily.
Tan Guohao explained with a look of grievance on his face.
"It's good enough that we can survive, and we are only responsible for Pingpan City. The neighboring Yunyuan City is not under our responsibility. We are a combat unit, not an intelligence unit!"
After saying that, he glanced at Tie Xiaogang unhappily.
Tie Xiaogang shrugged awkwardly.
"I was in the Military Control Commission before, but I am no longer in the Military Control Commission now. I am now in the Black Wolf Army! It is also a combat unit!"
"Come on, I didn't say anything about you!"
Yuan Shuai finished eating the can, threw the can box aside, and pointed at the map and said.
"The Japanese only said they would provide supplies, but did not say they would send reinforcements. That only shows one thing: the Japanese want the Tiangu Brigade to guard Zhenlongkou! To prevent our people from going out to support other directions! Then, the Japanese's purpose is very clear, which is to delay us and prevent us from participating in the war!"
"That's great, we can take a good rest for a few days and take advantage of the time to train!"
Xiao Du laughed happily.
"What are you laughing at! Once the Japanese take over all the surrounding cities and positions, they will form a huge encirclement around us, and then slowly shrink the encirclement! By then, we will be isolated and will be trapped to death by the Japanese!"
Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Du's face suddenly froze.
Everyone else also had frowns on their faces, looking worried.
"Yuan Shuai, you have many ideas, think of one quickly!"
Xiao Du looked at Yuan Shuai anxiously.
Yuan Shuai pointed at the map and thought.
"If the Japanese want to attack in other directions, the troops in Pingyuan City next door will also be mobilized! Therefore, we can make a big move in Pingyuan City!"
"Are you asking us to attack Pingyuan City?!"
"General Yuan, stop kidding. It's not that easy to attack a county town! Without long-range artillery and sufficient troops, don't even think about it!"
"Didn't you say before that you would lead us to rob the enemy's baggage train? How come you changed your plan in the blink of an eye?"
Everyone looked at Yuan Shuai with confusion.
I don’t understand what Yuan Shuai is thinking.
Yuan Shuai explained with a smile.
"First, we don't know when the Japanese baggage train will arrive, nor do we know which route they will take!"
"Secondly, I didn't say we must attack Pingyuan City!"
"Third, if there really aren't that many devils in Pingyuan City, why can't we fight?"
"Fourth, why do we have to attack the county town by siege? Can't we attack from inside the county town?"
Upon hearing this, everyone except the brothers from the Black Wolf Army looked at each other in astonishment.
Because Yuan Shuai is so brave.
