Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

When they established their base here, they got to know the surrounding terrain clearly so that they could better fight back when the enemy attacked.

Su Zheng was looking at the terrain sand table, guessing where the enemy might attack from, and then where they should start to block them in order to stop the enemy this time.

Han Feng and the Chief of General Staff were also looking at the sofa and thinking about how to fight the enemy.

Time passed quickly and all those who received the meeting notice arrived within an hour.

When they saw the terrain sand table on the table, a guess in their minds came true.

Seeing that everyone was present, Han Feng looked at them and said, "There is a very important piece of news. The enemy has sent the Eighth Brigade to attack the base, with a force of 8,000 men."

"You all know the situation of our base. Now think about how to stop the enemy."

Han Feng's words made everyone present feel nervous, and they couldn't help but look at the people around them.

It is not easy to stop an enemy brigade, and if they cannot stop them, then the base will be lost.

By then, in addition to the soldiers, wouldn’t the civilians also become dead at the hands of the devils?

No one wants to see this kind of thing. Before they established their base, they saw many civilians being massacred.

How can we allow the people who have already been protected to live in fear again?

No one spoke. This time the enemy would not be easy to stop. If they wanted to stop them, they would need to think carefully about the battle plan.

One of the chiefs of staff thought for a while and then looked up: "How long will it take for the devils to get here? Do we have time to evacuate the civilians and those who cannot fight?"

"After we transfer them, we can focus on dealing with the devils without any worries."

"If we can't stop them, we can evacuate and fight a guerrilla war with the devils. We don't have to worry about them hurting the people. This way we can also destroy the devils."

Han Feng shook his head: "It's too late. We don't have time to get them to a safe place."

The people must be escorted to a safe place before we can feel at ease, but the safe place is not close at present, and it is not so easy to relocate the people.

If they were discovered halfway by the Eighth Brigade and their forces were dispatched to pursue them, it is estimated that not many people would survive.

Fang Tianyi took over the conversation: "That is to say, we can only fight the devils head-on. No matter how big the gap between the enemy and us is, we must stop the devils."

Han Feng neither nodded nor shook his head. This tacit attitude already explained the result. Everyone no longer considered asking the people to evacuate.

What we must consider now is how to stop the devils, how to keep the people alive and well, and how to preserve the hard-earned base!

The burden on their shoulders was a bit heavy, but at this moment, no one had the idea of ​​retreating, they would not retreat! .

Fang Tianyi and others set their eyes on the terrain sand table in the middle.

The above standardizes their current location and the current scope of their base.

Han Feng pointed to two locations and placed a flag at each of them.

"The enemy is a brigade. Judging from the weapons and equipment they may have, they are most likely to attack from this position."

"The other direction is impossible. The enemy will not disperse their forces to attack. There are many rocks in these places, which are not suitable for walking."

"No matter which direction the enemy attacks from, the ultimate target is not here in the base."

"Scouts have been sent out to investigate. If the enemy comes from this position, there will be a fork in the road. Whichever road they take, we can determine where to attack."

These are the speculations Han Feng made after analyzing the terrain.

The other party must have brought cannons, and only these two places can transport the cannons here smoothly.

It is not certain how many weapons the other side has brought, but they must have mortars, infantry guns, mountain guns and the like.

If the weapons and equipment can keep up with the opponent, it is not certain who will win or lose. Weapons and equipment are really a shortcoming.

As Han Feng spoke, everyone's eyes followed his movements, while at the same time they were also speculating in their minds about the possible direction of the enemy's movement.

Su Zheng suddenly pointed to one of the spots and said, "Here, the Japanese will attack from here, not from another direction."

Su Zheng did not explain why he was sure that the Japanese would come from this location, and no one else asked.

Han Feng and others were very convinced of Su Zheng. Since he said it was this direction, it must be here.

Afterwards, everyone started a discussion, expressing their opinions on how to stop the Japanese attack and sharing all the methods they could think of.

Among them, the method provided by Su Zheng was recognized by most people, and they thought his method was very good.

After some discussion, a plan to defend against the enemy was finally decided.

Han Feng: "From here on, we will block the Japanese, set up roadblocks, and bury mines. "

"Start digging trenches here, conduct the second phase of blocking, here is the third blocking, and finally the base camp."

"We will intercept them layer by layer and gradually consume their forces. By the time we reach the base camp, they should have been weakened a lot."

"At the same time, we are asking for help from nearby troops, hoping that some troops can come to support us."

"Our goal is to keep the Japanese out of our base. This time, the entire army must work together to fight the enemy."

"Time is of the essence, and digging trenches can mobilize the people to participate while making them all ready to retreat at any time."

"If we really can't stop them, then we'll hold on until all the people are evacuated so they don't die at the hands of the devils!"

Han Feng finalized the final battle plan and began assigning tasks to each team.

After the task was issued, everyone including Fang Tianyi and Chen Tianzao left.

Fang Tianyi, Chen Tianfang and the chief of staff cannot go to the front line to fight, but they also have missions.

In the command center, only Han Feng, the Chief of General Staff, and Su Zheng were left.

Although they had already adopted the most appropriate combat plan to meet the enemy, Han Feng and the Chief of General Staff were still unsure.

The main reason was that the team sent by the Japanese this time was too strong, and they had no confidence in stopping the other side.

Han Feng: "I suspect that the Japanese team of more than 100 people was created by them."

"If we don't find out their identities, we won't be able to stop them, and we might even be wiped out."

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed to him. If the information from the base was sent to the enemy's Eighth Brigade, all their preparations would be in vain.

Su Zheng and the Chief of General Staff also thought of it, but they did not say it out loud.

Han Feng and the Chief of General Staff were particularly grateful that Su Zheng came and discovered the disguised Japanese team.

Chief of the General Staff: "I don't know how many more people will be sacrificed in this battle."

His face did not look very good. In every battle, many soldiers were sacrificed, and many lives were lost under the Japanese artillery fire.

If the Japanese had not invaded, if the Japanese had not wanted to occupy our land, how could these soldiers have died?

And those civilians, even though their lives were hard, at least they were alive, but because of those devils, they could not live to see their old age.

Some were even killed before they were born.

The evil deeds of the Japanese are too numerous to list, but they think they are doing nothing wrong.

Whenever I think of these, I feel depressed.

Han Feng didn't say anything. He already had a rough idea of ​​how many people would be sacrificed, which made him even more silent.

The atmosphere was solemn.

Su Zheng was also in a heavy mood. If the enemy attacked the Xinzhongcun base, he could make sure that the Japanese would never return.

But this is not his Xinzhongcun base, it is the New Fourth Army base. The situations on both sides are different, and the base here is more difficult than his.

Su Zheng: ".~ Commander, no matter how many people we sacrifice, we will stop the devils. We are the righteous ones, and victory will definitely belong to us."

"I think the soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice, they are just afraid of not being able to kill those devils."

There will be a mobilization meeting later, so we can’t be discouraged now. We must have confidence to overcome difficulties.

Han Feng and the Chief of General Staff also understood this truth. They were not discouraged, they just felt sorry for it.

Han Feng: "Let's go, I think the comrades have almost gathered, let's go there now."

Su Zheng followed Han Feng and the Chief of General Staff to where the soldiers gathered.

The soldiers also had some guesses about this gathering.

If we are concentrating on learning some tactics, the regiment commander, battalion commander, chief of staff and others will be very happy and will remind us to be serious.

Now, their faces were all very serious. Looking at them, they felt inexplicably nervous and did not say anything extra.

There is only one possibility in this situation, and that is that there will be a war, and it will be a big war.

Many people gathered together with their acquaintances to discuss in a low voice, speculating whether the Japanese were coming to attack the base.

When Han Feng stood in front of the soldiers, there was no need to say anything, and everyone automatically quieted down.

Han Feng: "Comrades, we are about to face a great war, and the base will face a moment of life and death."

"We cannot let the devils occupy our territory, and we cannot let them massacre the people!"

"Although it is difficult, we still have to stop the devils! Because we have reasons to stop them!"

"This time, we are united and work together to beat back the Japanese! I believe victory will belong to us!"

"Comrades, do you have confidence?"

"have!!".

After a simple mobilization meeting, the soldiers were in high spirits and devoted themselves to preparatory work such as digging trenches and setting up roadblocks.

Before this, the reconnaissance team had returned and brought back the latest news about the Japanese. Sure enough, the path chosen by the Japanese was the one Su Zheng said.

The first battalion of the independent regiment was responsible for the first blocking operation. They had already buried mines, set up roadblocks, and dug trenches.

When burying mines, in order to confuse the enemy, some obvious and subtle illusions were deliberately created in some places.

In addition to fighting the Japanese and avoiding artillery fire, trenches can also serve as cover during retreat.

The battalion commander of the first battalion, Zhou Changde, was leading his men to work hard, and they did not mobilize the people to help.

They were too close to the Japanese and were worried that they would arrive too quickly and the people would not have time to retreat.

According to the initial battle plan, they were not going to dig trenches, but Su Zheng suggested that they must do so.

In case we cannot stop the enemy, we can retreat to the rear with the cover of the trenches, and after resting at the rear, we can continue to fight the Japanese.

At a time like this, we should preserve some combat power if we can. We cannot go and fight the Japanese with the idea of ​​going there without coming back. After all, we haven't reached that stage yet.

The second and third battalions behind were leading people to dig trenches and set some 327 traps in their respective areas of responsibility.

Some people had already heard about the impending war, and without any mobilization, they voluntarily joined in to help with some of the work.

After all, if they can’t protect their base, they will most likely have no chance of survival.

They also received the news and were ready to retreat at any time, but they didn't want to retreat. They had just spent some peaceful days here.

If they left, where could they live a stable life? Naturally, it would be best to keep this place.

The letter asking for help from nearby troops has been sent. No one is sure whether we can get timely support, but it is better to have hope than no hope.

A day later, in the evening, Nakano Tamao and the 8th Brigade finally approached the base.

"Report to the commander, the New Fourth Army base can be vaguely seen ahead, and we found that the enemy has established defensive fortifications!" The scout reported the findings.

Nakanoda: "Yoshi, it's normal to build fortifications. There's no sense of accomplishment in fighting without fortifications."

He is very confident in himself, but if there is no difficulty at all, he will find it meaningless and cannot show his ability.

What's more, this is the base of the New Fourth Army Military Sub-district, and he came here with such fanfare. If there is no preparation at all, he would think there is something wrong.

Maybe the other party had already run away, leaving him an empty space. If that happened, he would be very disappointed because he did not let the other party feel the power of the Great Sakura Empire.

Don’t think that the other party ran away because he knew how powerful they were and was afraid of them. Maybe they had set a trap for them. The Chinese are the most cunning!

Nakanoda: "Pass the order down, stay where you are and rest, and launch the first attack tomorrow."

Adjutant Sadao Inoue: "Hi!"

After the order was passed down, the Japanese soldiers began to quickly prepare to set up camp here.

Attacking under the cover of night was actually quite advantageous to the Japs, but Nakano Tamao did not think that he could not capture the military sub-district base, and he simply disdained to attack under the cover of night.

At the same time, Han Feng also received the news.
