"Keep fighting? Signal soldier, tell the brigade commander that I, Monk Xu, are waiting for the Japs to use their fists. The Japs are too tired to fight, and they are still gathering for an attack. I will take my fists back and wait to give them to him.

It’s a sky-high cannon!” Deputy Brigadier Xu said here.

"Brigadier...how do you say this?" The communications soldier was a little confused.

"It's stupid, just say that there is no official battle here yet, we must hold on until the evacuation time!" Deputy Brigadier Xu said.

"Brigadier Commander, the forward observation post reported that the Japs' artillery carriages are advancing rapidly, and there are troops building positions on the Xiangtangpu front line. In addition, the Japs' search team is looking for our observation post." Brigade Headquarters, Chief of Staff

He said while holding the latest report from Frontier.

"The kid is preparing the artillery position, trying to suppress our main position with artillery fire! Unfortunately, the kid made a wrong calculation. Did he think we were the Eighth Route Army last year? We have enough mortars now!

Ask about the location of the Japanese infantry at the front?" the brigade commander said.

"Hey..." The communication soldiers were communicating with each other, especially the hidden observation post on the main peak of Jiucai Mountain, which was the focus of communication.

"The little Japanese's search team must also be on guard... In this way, Jia Xuefeng, send a company from your battalion to the main peak of Jiucai Mountain to protect our observation post. Pay attention, once you exchange fire, immediately send a message to the brigade headquarters!"

The brigade commander said at this time.

"Yes, brigade commander!" Jia Xuefeng, commander of the second battalion of the newly renamed Qingqiu Ninth Detachment, saluted and left the brigade headquarters: "Zhao Ergou, take your company up the mountain to protect the forward observation post. If it is not necessary, do not initiate a fight with the Japanese.

Firefight. Once there is a firefight, be sure to annihilate them all! Also, report to the brigade headquarters at the same time as the firefight."

"Yes! The mission is solved and completed! But battalion commander, didn't I change my name to Zhao Weiguo? Don't call me by my original name." said 4th Company Commander Zhao Ergou.

"Okay, got it, Comrade Zhao Weiguo, go and complete the mission! Protect the forward observation post!" Jia Xuefeng said.

"Yes! With me, Zhao Er...wei Guo, I can definitely guarantee the safety of the comrades at the observation post!" Zhao Ergou, one of the guerrillas who originally followed Zhao Fengnian, one of the earliest veterans of the Ninth Detachment, has now become the company commander.

.

"Ah ha... I'm a little sleepy, Minister Zhang. I just received a call. I don't know what the situation is like, huh?" In the telecommunications room of the Sunjiaji Military Camp, Hu Changyi yawned long and said to Minister Zhang next to him.

said.

"Go to bed when you're sleepy, and eat when you're hungry. I think you're free!" Minister Zhang said angrily, fanning himself with a goose-feather fan.

"That's not possible! This battle plan, after all, has my suggestion. We have to sit here and listen to it! I said, Minister Zhang, is this goose-feather fan of yours okay to use? You are dressed up like the Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Liang is here." Hu Changyi was at a loss for words.

"You...if you want to use it to fan yourself, just say so!" Minister Zhang handed the fan to Hu Changyi.

"No, we have more here, more! Minister Zhang, the development of people's livelihood in Qingqiu this year has begun to bear fruit, have you noticed? Look at the pigs raised in the pig pens of each village, the speed at which meat is produced

How fast? And those chickens are so diligent in laying eggs, and the eggs are so oily."

"And the ducks, geese, and fish raised in our canals and ponds are all meat! The goose feather fan in your hand was made bit by bit by women using goose feathers!" Hu Changyi had nothing to say.

He talked about the development of people's livelihood.

"Yeah..." Speaking of people's livelihood, Minister Zhang also smiled happily: "The yields of the potatoes and sweet potatoes you brought are very good. I asked someone to ask, and one acre of land can weigh more than two thousand kilograms.

The yield is not a good land. This yield is incredible! I just don’t know where the seeds of these potatoes and sweet potatoes come from?” Minister Zhang sighed.

"Can I say that these are the seeds redeemed from the new redemption content after the system upgrade?" Hu Changyi was secretly proud, and then said: "Actually, the yield is still low. I heard people say that after planting potatoes, one acre of land can produce

It has grown to tens of thousands of pounds! But this one likes potassium fertilizer, and we have too little on hand."

"Potassium fertilizer? What kind of fertilizer is potassium fertilizer?" Minister Zhang asked.

"Plant ash, it contains a lot of potassium fertilizer! But these days I translated the documents I found from the Japs, and I found a document on using potassium feldspar to make potassium fertilizer. I don't know what the Japs are doing studying this? But

We happened to be able to use it, so I translated it." Hu Changyi said.

"Really? That's a good relationship. After the war is over, give me the documents and I'll find someone to try to produce! Oh, our arable land is limited, and the miscellaneous trees on the hills are gone, and they have all turned into jujubes.

There are trees, etc., and some medicinal herbs such as skullcap and astragalus should be planted.”

"Look at the yields of the potatoes and sweet potatoes we grow, and with enough fertilizer, we can produce more food per acre. Not bad! It's just that sweet potatoes are not easy to store, they go bad easily, and they can cause acid reflux if you eat too much.

Is it good food if it can fill the stomach?" Minister Zhang said.

"Okay, I'll send this to you later! By the way, how are you using the barefoot doctor's manual we seized earlier?" Hu Changyi asked.

"After looking for a lot of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, I found that this one is really good and is already training doctors at the grassroots level," said Minister Zhang.

"Ding ding ding..." While the two were talking, the phone rang.

"Minister Zhang, the director of the factory, called from the front line to say that the new regiment is fighting jointly with our special operations platoon... The Japanese artillery positions are now launching foaming agents..."

That's right, while Hu Changyi was bored waiting and talking to Minister Zhang about other topics, the artillery positions on both sides of the little devil were finally completed and the official attack began.

The troops on both sides of the Japs must be connected, because the Japs launched the artillery attack at 9:18 am.

"Shooting..." To the west of Zhaodian, on the mountain on the west bank of the Zhuozhang River, 48 cannons belonging to the Little Japanese's field artillery company began bombing.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...boom, boom, boom..." Round after round of artillery shells flew from the west, constantly exploding in Zhaodian and on top of Taoer Mountain. As for the trenches built on the river bank, they were the focus of the Japanese.

Taking care of the target, the 92nd Infantry Artillery belonging to the Japanese Brigade directly opened up their formation and fired from the foot of the mountain on the other side of the river.

"Tell the recruits, don't panic, the enemy's artillery shells can't climb the mountain!" On the reverse slope of the back mountain of Taoer Mountain, the Eighth Route Army soldiers were hiding here, waiting for counterattack.

In fact, this section of the Zhuozhang River flows southward from the foot of Taoer Mountain, so this is the focus of river defense.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The Japanese artillery shells were very powerful, and the bitter and sour gunpowder smoke was also toxic. However, under the iron-clad military discipline of the Eighth Route Army, no one was frightened to retreat. They were all waiting there quietly.
Chapter completed!
