Long Wenzhang led a battalion to kill more than 500 Japanese soldiers. Although it was only a small victory, it had already boosted the morale of Zhang Sen's troops.
Zhang Sen walked in the team and saw that every soldier or officer's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. They all wanted to find the Japanese army and fight now.
After advancing for ten kilometers, a hilly area appeared in front of them.
Zhang Sen immediately ordered the entire army to stop and sent scouts to the front to investigate.
"General, why did you stop?" The Second Battalion Commander, Han Ligong, ran over anxiously.
"Men, call the other battalion commanders over."”
Soon, the four battalion commanders stood in front of Zhang Sen.
"Brothers, we don't have enough food, so we can only go this far." If they continued to advance, without food supplies, everyone would die.”
The four Battalion Commanders looked at each other in disappointment.
"General," Second Battalion Commander Han Li said with a bitter expression,"our brothers are all holding back their energy and want to bring bad luck to the Japanese. Even if they didn't have to eat, they were still willing to fight the Japanese.”
"General, everyone wants to prove to you that they are not cowards," Third Battalion Commander Li Fangting said anxiously. If the 1st Battalion can defeat the Japanese, we can do the same. Our 3rd Battalion is not inferior to their 1st Battalion.”
The Second Battalion Commander and the Fourth Battalion Commander also shouted,""We're not worse than the 1st Battalion. We're not cowards when it comes to fighting the devils.”
Zhang Sen smiled. He was very satisfied with everyone's morale.
He coughed." I can understand everyone's feelings. You are my soldiers. Each and every one of you is a good man. There is no doubt about it. You are the best in the world. You are all the most awesome.”
"However, now is not the time to be impulsive. I have no doubt that you can defeat the Japanese. However, in order to fight back to our homeland in the northeast, we have to fight steadily and step by step.”
He looked at everyone. So I decided to set up a defense line here and lure those bastards into our trap. When most of them are here, we'll use the advantage of artillery fire to wipe them out!”
Zhang Sen pointed at the hilly area in front of them."This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as we defend this place, it's equivalent to guarding Chengde's door. We're not afraid that the Japanese won't fall into our trap.”
"How do we fight this ambush?" Han Ligong asked. Who will be the bait?"
Long Wenzhang patted his chest.”
"Why?" Li Fangting was unhappy." Why does your battalion have to do everything? Are you trying to show off?" What your 1st Battalion can do, our 3rd Battalion can do too.”
" Humph!" Han Ligong snorted." You're making it sound like our 2nd Battalion can't do it. None of you can snatch it from me. My 2nd Battalion will accept this mission."”
"What are you snatching for?" Long Wenzhang said unhappily. In terms of firepower, our 1st Battalion is the strongest. In terms of combat strength, our 1st Battalion is the bravest. Other than our 1st Battalion, no one else can do the task of attracting the enemy.”
"What are you talking about?" Li Fangting's eyes widened." Our 3rd Battalion has 100 general-purpose machine guns. Are they not as powerful as your small submachine guns?"”
"Our 4th Battalion has 100 mortars and four field cannons. Are they weak?" shouted Liu Hu, the 4th Battalion Commander. I think you should leave this task of attracting the enemy to us. Without our artillery, what can you do?”
The three Battalion Commanders waved at him." Forget it. You haven't fired a single shot since the start of the battle. At most, you can fire a mountain cannon. We're still doing well without you."”
Liu Hu pointed at Li Fangting and Han Ligong in exasperation."What are you two showing off for? I've never fired a cannon before, so it's like you've fired a gun before. How are you two better than me? Don't show off in front of me!"
Although the four of them were quarreling, Zhang Sen, who was at the side, smiled.
He was not afraid of his subordinates fighting, but he was afraid that they would run away.
Zhang Sen thought that they should be the soldiers of the Tang army now.
"Alright, let's not fight anymore!" "I've already said that your four battalions are all good," Zhang Sen interrupted them. You four battalion commanders are all heroes. I don't even need to think about it. As long as I let you out, you can all beat the Japanese.”
He first praised the four of them, causing them to laugh proudly.
Then, he changed the topic." However, we can't use too much firepower to attract the enemy this time. Otherwise, the enemy would mobilize their artillery to bombard them, and if they could not speak, they would even call for planes to bombard them.”
"Therefore, I think the 2nd Battalion with Mauser 98K would be the most suitable.”
Second Battalion Commander Han Li raised his chin proudly at the other four."I'm sorry, everyone. General, you're the only one who can do this job.”
"Look at you!" Li Fangting glared at him and looked at Zhang Sen.""General, what should we do?"
"First Battalion and Third Battalion, set up an ambush on both sides and wait for my order." The 4th Battalion will be behind the 2nd Battalion. They will also wait for my order to open fire. Set up a defense line immediately. We'll fight the Japanese to the death here.”
Ten kilometers away, Captain Takemoto had just received a report from the fleeing troops.
"Baka, this is impossible!" "The Northeastern Army can't even escape in time. How can they possibly counterattack us?" Takemoto said angrily. As for those advanced weapons, the Northeast Army did not have them either. All their good weapons were sealed in the warehouse and seized by us!”
A second lieutenant who had escaped back cried,""It's true, Great Captain. Our people are all dead. I'm not lying to you.”
Takemoto still did not believe him. He shouted," Tie up all the deserters and gather the troops. I will personally annihilate this Northeast Army." I don't believe that there are still Chinese people who dare to block the path of the Imperial Army!”
