When the sky turned dark, Chen Li saw Ji Changwen.
He was here to thank Chen Li.
Whether it was the hospital and medicine, or the weapons that were given to him, or even sending snipers to snipe the Japanese, they had all given the 3rd Battalion a lot of help.
They should have come to thank him, even if the battle at the front line was at its peak.
Chen Li asked about the number of casualties and the results of the battle. This was important for him to guard Wanping Ji Pass alone in the future.
For some reason, the resource points in his system would increase from time to time after the battle. He had a rough calculation of the sniper team's results, but the sudden increase surprised him.
There had been one after the night bombardment, and another this evening.
As a result, the resource points that Chen Li had spent crazily while constructing the tunnel were almost replenished in just two waves.
With nearly 100,000 resource points, Chen Li was much more confident.
After hearing the number Ji Changwen reported, Chen Li, who had made some predictions in his heart, remained silent for a long time.
More than fifty people had died, and seventy to eighty people had lost their ability to fight.
In just the first day of battle, the 3rd Battalion had already lost a quarter of their fighting strength.
Such casualties were caused by the increased firepower, the reinforcement of the fortifications, and the help of Chen Li's snipers. Moreover, there was timely rescue and a large amount of medicine.
One could imagine how tragic the Wanping battlefield in his previous life was.
However, it was a little difficult to calculate the battle results.
The bombardment at night did not show any results at all, but the large wave of points that rose made Chen Li feel that the results of the battle should not be small.
The defense during the day was mainly fought by Ji Changwen's troops. They knew early on that the enemy of the defending sniper would not have any high-ranking generals to observe.
It was not that Chen Li had not thought about whether Chen Liujin had really gained something, but that last minute assignment was more because Chen Li wanted to explore a possibility.
A possibility that could change the entire situation.
Even in the history that he had read in his previous life, none of the military strategists or even generals at that time thought that the war would last for a full eight years.
Most people still had the idea that the outcome of a war between the two sides would be that one side would obtain the regional advantage and negotiate a ceasefire. The other side would pay some benefits and form a strategic confrontation again.
This was not just the wishful thinking of the Chinese troops. Among the high-ranking generals of the Wei Nation, there were also some who had the same thoughts, such as Kenji Doihara, the Class A war criminal who was sentenced to tattooing.
His strategy against China was not to launch a large-scale war, but to slowly digest China by nibbling at it. And reality proved that this method was the gentlest, but the most terrifying.
Regarding the upcoming battle, Ji Changwen and Chen Li had different opinions.
What Ji Changwen insisted on was actually the fact that it included the Chinese. The central government's policy is not to lose territory, not to provoke, and not to expand.
This was also the helpless choice of the authorities. The country was weak and the local governments were divided. They did not have the ability to fight a real war with the devils.
The result of this was that the Japanese could not do anything to the defenders, and the defenders could not do anything to the Japanese either. They could only wait for reinforcements or the outcome of the peace talks.
As for Chen Li, he wanted to think of all ways to eliminate the enemy's effective strength. He even thought of several ideas.
Send elite troops out of the city quietly to attack and destroy some of the devils that are besieging the city;
Pretending to lose the city, they would send some of the devils into the city and use the fortifications and tunnels in the city to wipe out the enemy.
If he did this, as long as he succeeded, the results would be brilliant. However, if he overdid it, it would cause great losses.
In the end, neither of them managed to convince the other.
Chen Li decided to do it alone!
In any case, whether they fought here or not, the devils would continue to send more troops to Pingjin. It was better to eliminate the devils 'effective strength as much as possible.
At the same time, he could also farm a wave of resource points and bring back Chen Liujin, who had been sent out on a mission.
Midnight, in the tunnel.
In the military area that was completely separated from the civilian area, 200 system main city officers were gathered.
Chen Li stood in front of them. He did not lecture them. To these wooden officers, lecturing them was meaningless.
He was checking the equipment of these soldiers.
These people were all armed with Somi submachine guns, each of them had a Mauser pistol, and each of them had four German wooden hand grenades.
It was even the first time that a flamethrower was put into actual combat. Although it was unknown how effective this equipment would be in trench warfare, even if the killing effect was not strong, it could still be used as a source of illumination.
The physical fitness of the system's officers was already very good. In addition to Chen Li's daily diet of carrots, no one in the army suffered from night blindness.
"Let's go. Kill the devils surrounding the city and bring back Platoon Leader Chen Liujin!”Chen Li ordered.
Qian Buduo led the troops neatly and silently into the depths of the tunnel.
On the city wall, more than ten soldiers in camouflage uniforms appeared. The sentries of the 3rd Battalion were already used to the appearance of these allies fighting side by side.
They even ignored the two 92 cannons that they had quietly lifted up. The north gate was the enemy's main direction of attack, so it was only natural for them to deploy two more cannons.
Meanwhile, the Japanese soldiers didn't notice anything strange. The advantage of this cannon was that it was shorter than the city wall after the shield was removed. As long as it didn't fire, it would be difficult to be discovered even during the day, let alone at night.
With the joint efforts of more than a dozen people, two cannons were set up and aimed at the Japanese's starting position during the day.
Then, after one of them looked at his watch, he made a gesture of waving his right hand.
"Bang ~~ Bang ~~"
The unique grunt of the 92 infantry cannon rang out on the city wall
The two artillery shells flew towards the Japanese's position for only a few seconds, and the two explosions lit up the Japanese's position nearly a thousand meters away.
They were using high-explosive bombs.
These soldiers did not bring many shells. The two cannons each carried a dozen shells.
They did not speak. After firing the first shot, they coordinated with each other and fired one shot after another at the Japanese's position without any delay or adjustment.
They didn't care if they hit the target or not, they just kept firing.
Then, before the sentinel from the 3rd Battalion could react, they quickly retreated from the city gate tower, ignoring the cannons.
Only the soldier who was running at the back patted the shoulder of the sentry who was still in a daze." Brother, quickly hide. The Japanese's artillery is about to counterattack."
This time, the poor sentry realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly hid in a fortification. He did not even have time to report what happened here to his superiors.
In the 3rd Battalion command post.
Ji Changwen, who was resting on his desk, immediately jumped up when he heard the cannon.
Then, he realized that the sound of the cannon came from the city tower in front of him. How could he not know what was going on?
"Damn it, this Young Master Chen really doesn't let people save trouble!”Ji Changwen cursed.
" Inform the troops to enter the position immediately after the Japanese bombardment. Make sure the position is not lost," he instructed the adjutant.
After that, Ji Changwen tidied up his equipment and walked quickly to the nearby tunnel entrance with a worried expression.
At this time, gunshots were heard outside the city, and the explosions of the Japanese artillery shells on the city wall began to ring out one after another.
——————，
With a flashlight, Ji Changwen made a few turns in the dark tunnel. After being interrogated by several security guards, he finally arrived at Chen Li's command center.
There were a few officers sitting in Chen Li's command post. Ji Changwen had seen most of them before. He could recognize some of them by name, but he was only familiar with some of them.
At this moment, Chen Li was holding a meeting for them. In fact, there wasn't even a map hanging in the meeting room. It was more like he was giving them pointers.
However, when he saw Ji Changwen enter, Chen Li temporarily stopped what he was saying and nodded.
It wasn't that he was deliberately avoiding Ji Changwen, it was just out of politeness.
"Brother, why don't you listen to my advice? What was the use of provoking those Japanese at this moment?”Ji Changwen said with a distressed expression.
"It's not my fault. The Japanese attacked first!”" What should I do now?" Chen Li asked.”
"Quickly withdraw the people who are firing on the city wall. Otherwise, our people will not be able to have peace tonight…" Ji Changwen said. Then, he sighed."It's a pity about those two cannons. Otherwise, the devils could have strengthened their defensive firepower when they attacked the city.”
" This, Big Brother, don't worry. They should have withdrawn long ago and will come back to report later," Chen Li Yue said confidently,""Anyway, I only asked them to fire three boxes of shells. After that, they will leave. As for the cannons, we can buy them again.”
" Sigh, I really don't know what to say about you."Do you think this is still before the war? The Japanese have already surrounded us.”
Chen Li was unmoved. He pretended to smile mysteriously and said,"To tell you the truth, I still have some stock."
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door. It was Wang Yong. After he entered, he saluted Chen Li and said,"Reporting to the regiment commander, the fourth squad has completed the bombardment mission. There are no casualties.”
"Thank you for your hard work. Go to the cafeteria to eat some Night Sky first and then have a good rest. I won't arrange any tasks for you tonight.”
Ji Changwen felt his heart ache when he heard that.
In the Chinese army, there was a strict rule that weapons were not to be damaged or lost.
Rifle was fine, but if the Machine Gunner broke or lost the light machine gun, he would basically be shot.
As for damaging or abandoning heavy machine guns or even cannons, the entire platoon would be punished, and the leader would definitely not survive.
Even the wealthy Japanese troops would find ways to destroy the weapons that they could not bring with them when they retreated from the battlefield, so that they would not fall into the enemy's hands.
Unlike the troops in front of them, they were so straightforward about abandoning their cannons, and everyone seemed to be taking it for granted.
This simply subverted Ji Changwen's worldview.
"Report, Voldemort's team, Chen Liujin, is here to report.”A familiar voice shouted from outside the command post.
