Chapter 885 You want to use Tonggu to train soldiers, you are crazy
Zhou Weiguo put the teacup aside and said, "My independent brigade is good at attacking but not at defending. Do you think this bias is appropriate?"
As for the army, it is a taboo to only be able to attack but not to defend. Similarly, it is also a taboo to be able to defend but not to attack.
"Do you want to use Tonggu as a training ground for the independent brigade?" Takeshita Shun, who was next to him, looked up and asked.
Picking up a pencil and drawing a circle on the map, Zhou Weiguo raised his hand and pointed at this place.
"As long as we can hold off the Japanese attack here, we won't have to worry about future enemy attacks. After all, there aren't many opportunities to fight against the Japanese army with heavy artillery. And I have a feeling that our future enemies, oh, that's probably not just the Japanese. We might even have to fight the Northern Soviet Union."
Sano Tadayoshi pondered for a moment and said, "I have no objection, but our reserve forces must be sufficient. You must make this clear to Commander Bai in advance."
Zhou Weiguo glanced at the others and saw they nodded. He then looked at Tian Jing, who was sorting through documents. "Send a telegram to the headquarters. Our independent brigade is united and will keep a tight hold on Tonggu. We won't let the Japanese army get out of this dangerous area."
At the headquarters, Commander Bai, studying the battle map, frowned. He put down the message he had just received and asked the person beside him, "What is this kid trying to do?"
Commander Long glanced at him and asked, "Is there something wrong with this telegram?"
Commander Bai handed him the message and said, "His troops are good at attacking, but not at defending. But this time, he sent me a message like this. To be honest, it suddenly made me feel a little confused.
Chief of Staff Luo next to him thought for a moment and said, "Could he be using this opportunity to train his troops?"
Commander Bai stood up, walked over to the map, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Perhaps. But no matter what happens, first use the troops mobilized from the Gui army as a reserve force. If he suffers any losses, the remaining troops will immediately fill in for him. Also, contact Zhou Weiguo immediately. I need to speak with him."
Boom boom... boom boom boom...
In the distance, artillery fire roared from Tonggucheng. Standing on a high point, Takeuchi Hiroshi observed the opposing position. Then, his gaze fell on the artillery position not far away, and he said to his adjutant, "Mobilize a squad of troops and keep an eye on the artillery."
The chief of staff Nakamura Tsutomu next to him turned his head to look at the artillery in the distance. There was already a squad there. Is it necessary to transfer another squad over there?
"Mr. Commander, it seems that there is no need for us to do this." Nakamura Tsutomu said.
Takeuchi Hiroshi had a good relationship with Di Liqiu and Doi Yuan of the 13th Division. He shook his head and said, "The troops facing us are the elite independent brigade of the Yamashiro Army. This brigade was developed from the former 74th Army. Since its inception, it has been active on the battlefield. Whether it is Songhu, Nanjing, Wuhan, Xuzhou, Xi'an and other places, their presence can be seen. I have studied this force carefully. They are good at attacking and stealing. The heavy artillery group is the heavy weapon of my division and the heavy weapon of the entire army. It is better to be cautious.
"Report," the communications director approached Takeuchi Hiroshi. "Report, we've intercepted calls from Toungoo and Mandalay."
"Oh." The thin Takeuchi Hiroshi glanced at him sideways and asked, "What's the deployment?"
The communications director thought for a moment and said, "General, the Independent Brigade seems to be interested in using Tonggu as a training ground."
Practice...what to practice?
Training soldiers, are you kidding yourself?
Takeuchi Hiroshi took a deep breath and asked in disbelief, "Do you know what you are saying?"
The telecommunications director didn't believe it at first, but after hearing it several times, he found the same meaning: the independent brigade intended to use this place as a training ground.
"Training?" Takeuchi Hiroshi narrowed his eyes and looked at the independent brigade's position in the distance; "Okay, then I will satisfy him. I will make Tonggu the burial place of his independent brigade."
An attack just ended.
The pungent smell of gunpowder and blood drifted through the battlefield. After the attack, Zhou Weiguo dispersed the command center to understand the situation, so that after the battle, adjustments and summaries could be made to the entire defense.
Wow……
Just after turning a corner, the sound of vomiting made Zhou Weiguo stop and look over. A familiar figure made Zhou Weiguo tentatively call out, "Wang Yun?"
Wang Yun, who was vomiting profusely, turned his head palely to look at Zhou Weiguo and then stood up forcibly. "General, I..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she saw an arm and a long piece of intestine left on a tree stump that had been blown up not far away. She was so shocked that she squatted on the ground and vomited violently without even having time to say anything.
Xiao Ya stretched out her hand, and Zhang Guifang behind her immediately took out the water bottle from her waist and handed it to her.
Squatting beside Wang Yun, Xiao Ya patted her back gently; "Don't think about those things."
Wang Yun didn't want to think about it, but the problem was, these things were real, and she couldn't just endure them. Zhou Weiguo pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and handed it to her. "You've been here for a while, and you haven't adapted yet."
Wang Yun wanted to sit on the ground, but Zhou Weiguo grabbed her collar to prevent her from doing so. He said, "Don't sit down. The enemy has heavy artillery. If they fire, the shock wave will shatter your internal organs. You won't even know how you died."
Wang Yun hummed, then thought about Zhou Weiguo's question and said, "General, it's not that I'm unaccustomed to this, but this is the first time I've seen such a situation. No, it's the first time for many people. The medics all said that sometimes they have to dig the person out of the ground to tell if they're dead or alive."
"It's normal. In the past, our independent brigade was mainly engaged in offense rather than defense, but now we are on the defense. Defense means we are passively taking attacks, so this situation is not surprising." After thinking for a while, Zhou Weiguo nodded. "Come with me. You can choose to take two photos of our soldiers bravely resisting and then attacking, and report on the fierceness of the battlefield. As for other photos, it's better not to take any more."
"Why?" Wang Yun wanted to tell the troops in the rear everything she knew, to let them know the cruelty of war, to let them know how difficult life was for the soldiers on the front lines. She wanted to let everyone know, and then call on the people to raise funds for the army. The mountains of corpses and seas of blood here were the perfect stepping stone.
But why, why didn't the general agree to let those photos leak out?
"Have you heard something?" Zhou Weiguo picked up a rifle on the ground and used it as a crutch and asked.
