In the evening, the soldiers who had finished their training did not disperse because there were still dozens of dejected soldiers standing beside the field.
These were soldiers who had not gone through training and did not dare to cross the barbed wire.
Li Youcai and the recruits looked at these dozens of people with disdain. They did not sympathize with them at all. Because the instructor had said that if these people went to the battlefield in the future, they would be deserters and would cause their comrades to die!
Zhou Weiguo looked at the dozens of soldiers in front of him and said indifferently,""Brothers, I want to congratulate you. You don't have to undergo such hard training in the future. You're already free. You can go home tomorrow.”
The crowd instantly exploded. No one had expected Zhou Weiguo to use such a method to deal with them.
"Sir!" A soldier wailed and said,""Don't chase us away. Give us another chance!”
"Sir, please give us another chance!”
"Brothers, it's not that I'm heartless, but your performance today has disappointed me. If this was a battlefield, how many brothers would be dragged down by you? If this was a battlefield, countless soldiers would die because of your cowardice!”
"Therefore, I think you should go home. If you were on the battlefield, you wouldn't have been chased home but shot!”
Hearing Zhou Weiguo's stern words, these soldiers all wailed and cried. They were chased home just like that. In the future, they would never be able to raise their heads in the surrounding villages. They might even be broken by their father when they returned to their hometown.
"Alright, hurry up and finish your last farewell meal in the military camp. Take off your military uniforms, hand over your guns, and go home tomorrow!”
Early the next morning, amidst the sound of training, dozens of soldiers in civilian clothes walked out of the military camp.
They left this place forever.
……
Just as the recruit training ended, Zhou Weiguo received a telegram. This telegram immediately made the entire 101st Division nervous.
"The Japanese army stationed in Laiyang County, the independent mixed 91st Brigade led by Keimei Bunmei is gathering their forces and attacking our Yueyang County along the north side of Hutou Mountain. The 25th Field Infantry Brigade of the Japanese army is now less than 200 miles away from our 101st Division.”
This was a telegram from Zhou Weiguo's special forces stationed in Laiyang County.
After receiving this telegram, Zhou Weiguo immediately summoned all the officers above regimental level to the division headquarters for a meeting.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded.
" Please note that a random mission has been released: Please annihilate the independent 91st Brigade and kill the Major General's Brigade Leader, Keibu. Mission success will be rewarded with 100,000 military points. Mission failure will result in the host being killed!”
Zhou Weiguo was shocked. The punishment for this mission was very severe. However, he thought it was reasonable after thinking about it. This was because if he could not resist the invasion of the 91st Brigade, even if the system did not kill him, Zhou Weiguo would probably not be able to survive.
A heavy burden was placed on Zhou Weiguo's shoulders, causing his heart to feel heavy!
The atmosphere in the conference room was very tense. At this moment, the 101st Division had just finished their recruit training. Their combat strength was still unknown. At this moment, the Japanese army was invading, which undoubtedly put the 101st Division to a huge test.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the few regiment commanders who were sitting and smiled.""Everyone knows the current situation. The Japanese vanguard is closing in step by step. They are less than 200 miles away from us. Behind our army are the people of Yueyang County. If we retreat, you all know what happened to these people.”
"So, we have no way out now. What should we do?”
Everyone looked at each other. The leader of the first team, Fang Shengli, stood up and said,"Master, just give the order. Tell us how to fight and we will fight like this.”
" But..." Zhang Xianyu frowned and said,""Most of our troops have just finished their recruit training and haven't really formed their combat strength yet. If we start a large-scale war with the Japanese army now, the situation will probably be unfavorable for us!”
Zhou Weiguo sighed and said," That's right. These are all new recruits. However, a qualified soldier must temper himself in the flames of war. Let them grow in battle! We don't have time to train them now!”
"As the saying goes, raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a moment! Now, he could only brace himself and push forward.”
"Now, let me introduce the situation of the Japanese army. After all, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without losing!”Zhou Weiguo said with a smile.
"The Japanese army stationed in Laiyang County is the independent mixed brigade of Keibun, the 91st Brigade. It is a mixed brigade that has five infantry field battalions, artillery, engineers, communications, and baggage battalions.”
"There are more than 8,000 soldiers, more than 200 light and heavy machine guns, and an artillery battalion with more than 40 flat-fire cannons, mountain cannons, and field cannons.”
" The 25th Field Infantry Brigade of the Japanese army has already set off. If they want to come over, they can only pass through the Tiger Head Mountain area, so..."
Zhou Weiguo opened the map. This was a map of Laiyang, Qingyuan, and Yuezhou that he had exchanged for with his military merits. It was very precise, and when he took it out, all the officers were shocked.
The main reason was that the previous maps were too rough. He heard that they could be exchanged for military maps, so Zhou Weiguo decisively exchanged for a map of the entire Shandong Province and a map of Qingyuan, Laiyang, and Yuezhou.
He pointed his baton at a spot on the map.
"Now, I give the order!" With a crash, everyone stood up.
"The second regiment will go to the vicinity of Tiger Head Mountain to set up defenses. Block the Japanese vanguard near Tiger Head Mountain. The third regiment will detour around Qingyuan County and cut off the Japanese 25th Brigade's retreat. At the same time, they will be responsible for blocking the Japanese reinforcements. Zhang Xianyu, the mission of your three regiments is to stay in the Qingfeng Ridge area on the north side of Tiger Head Mountain and cut off the contact between the 25th Brigade of the Japanese Army and the reinforcements. Therefore, the mission is very difficult. Can you complete the mission?”
"Don't worry, Master. Our three regiments will be like nails embedded in the Clear Breeze Ridge! We must never let the 25th Battalion of the Japanese Army come into contact with the Japanese!”
"Yes!" Zhou Weiguo nodded and said,""The 4th Regiment will rush from Zaozhuang in Qingyuan County to Lilong Village on the south side of Hutou Mountain. Your mission is the same as the 3rd Regiment.”
"The first group is waiting for orders in Yueyang County. As for the artillery regiment, apart from one battalion, all of them followed the 3rd and 4th regiments to block the Japanese reinforcements.”
"Since the Imperial Guard wants to put on a show, let's accompany him and give him a chance to attack the reinforcements!”
Zhou Weiguo's military deployment was very simple. It was to let the second regiment block the Japanese vanguard, then use the third and fourth regiments to cut off the retreat of the Japanese vanguard. At the same time, they surrounded the reinforcements and attacked the Japanese reinforcements.
"Yes, sir!" All the officers obeyed the order and left.
Instantly, the entire 101st Division got busy and entered a state of combat readiness.
A great battle was about to break out!
The independent mixed 91st Brigade had a total of five infantry battalions, and the 25th infantry battalion was the fist of the entire exploration team. As the fist of the entire exploration team, the captain of the 25th battalion, Yoshida, had always been arrogant and despotic in front of the other captains.
Yoshida was a standard old-fashioned soldier of the Japanese army. He advocated fighting, individual strength, and the spirit of samurai. He disdained everything except rifles and cannons, believing that they were flashy and useless.
Therefore, his troops were very capable, which was why they could become the elite troops of the exploration team.
He was very disdainful of the combat strength of the Chinese troops. In his opinion, the Chinese troops 'ability to fight was without any order. The soldiers of the Empire could fight three to five of them alone.
He even believed that he could defeat the so-called 101st division of China with just his own brigade.
Moreover, he heard that this unit was filled with newly recruited recruits. Yoshida Yujin was even more disdainful of those new recruits.
Do you think you can defeat the soldiers of the great Japanese Empire with just those lowly Chinese peasants? This was truly laughable!
Were they going to let the recruits fight with their hoes?
Reality would make these Chinese people despair!
Yoshida believed that before the regiment commander's main force arrived, his troops would have already broken through their defenses and beaten them into a pulp.
The soldiers of the Empire of Japan were invincible!
Long live His Majesty the Emperor!
Yoshida shouted fanatically in his heart!
