In Chu Jie's eyes, Zhao Zhiguo was more like a lucky general than a fierce general! He even began to suspect that Zhao Zhiguo had been so lucky because of a spell cast by an immortal.

"We also got it by accident!"

Although the Jinsui Army has more troops than the Japanese army, it has almost no heavy weapons compared to the Japs. Except for guns, the decisive distance between the Jinsui Army and the Japanese army is between 20 meters and 50 meters, because this is

The distance most soldiers throw grenades.

If a more powerful weapon can appear between 20 meters and 50 meters away, it will definitely change the situation of the battle.

Wine is flammable and explosive. Although it is not very powerful, it can suddenly produce flames. The scene must be quite scary.

"I will arrange for people to be deployed on the city wall now. Then I will see how much damage your wine array can cause to the little devil."

"Teacher, if you arrange it now, aren't you afraid that others will drink it secretly?"

"I wonder who dares? I haven't drank for a month, and they still want to drink? Whoever dares to touch that wine will take the lives of my brothers. I will kill him."

Every officer and soldier of the Jinsui Army knew that there was a big gap between their weapons and equipment and that of the Japs. When the old friends built the city, they had already passed down their combat experience.

"Well, secretly hide the two altars and wait until we win the battle to satisfy our greed!" Chu Jie said quietly to Zhao Zhiguo.

"Don't worry, sir, there will definitely be enough for us to drink." Zhao Zhiguo said with a smile.

"You came just in time. I heard a lot about your deeds. I heard that when you were the battalion commander, you captured 80 Japanese soldiers and blocked the Japanese attack for half a month with one battalion. This also shows that you

He is an expert in defense, come and help me with my advice."

When Chu Jie still had time to spare from his busy schedule, he specially arranged for someone to get to know Zhao Zhiguo. Although the fact that Zhao Zhiguo captured 80 Japanese soldiers was widely spread among the Jinsui Army, Chu Jie really didn't know about it.

"Commander, we just missed the mark, and the capture of eighty Japanese soldiers has nothing to do with me. The main thing is that the two officers under me have outstanding abilities."

"Don't be humble. No matter how capable your officers are, I don't think they can stop a Japanese regiment from attacking for fifteen days." Chu Jie took out the city defense map and placed it in front of Zhao Zhiguo, "I

It’s true that I am a division commander, but I am not a saint. Even saints may make mistakes. I don’t want to make a mistake and let the soldiers lose their lives.”

Zhao Zhiguo opened the map, and the troop layout of the 68th and 69th divisions had been marked on the map. Such an important military defense map, a regiment-level officer simply did not have the seniority to browse it.

Now that Chu Jie had placed such an important military defense map in Zhao Zhiguo's hands, Zhao Zhiguo felt that he was carrying a weight of ten thousand kilograms.

"Commander, are you setting up defenses for the siege of Pingcheng?"

"That's right, despite the fact that there are two divisions, the Sixty-eighth and Sixty-ninth, in the city, the combined strength of our two divisions is not as large as the strength of one of our Sixty-eighth Division before."

"We are not as wealthy as the Japs, and we don't have that many artillery and machine guns. How can we put up heavy machine gun positions on the city wall? It looks like we are waiting to die or die. How accurate are the Japs' artillery shells? Commander, what do you think?

It’s not that I don’t know.”

If they place a heavy machine gun above the city wall, it can only become a fixed firepower point. If the Japs don't have artillery, and a heavy machine gun is placed on the city wall, no matter how many people the Japs come, they won't be afraid.

But the situation is different now. The Japanese army's artillery fire can cover them. As long as the heavy machine gun fires, within three minutes, the Japanese army will definitely bombard the heavy machine gun position.

After the Japanese army charged twice, the heavy machines owned by the Sixty-eighth Division and the Sixty-ninth Division were destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire.

"You have a lot of experience fighting against little devils. Do you have any good ideas?"

Chu Jie didn't know that the heavy machine gun was easy to use, but it was vulnerable to the Japs' cannons. He also had a headache about this.

"Commander, have you deployed six heavy machine gun positions above the city wall?" Zhao Zhiguo continued to ask.

"Yes, our division only has ten heavy machine guns in total."

"Commander, are you planning to let the Japs take out most of the heavy firepower of our division in the first charge? I dare say that once the two sides exchange fire, the six heavy machine gun positions will not survive for more than five minutes." Zhao Zhiguo said,

"My approach is to only set up heavy machine gun positions on the left and right wings, and when the Japanese army charges for the first time, we don't want to expose the machine gun firepower."

"What's the explanation for this?"

"If we are as wealthy as the Japs, there is nothing wrong with arranging so many heavy machine guns on the city wall! Secondly, the Japanese army's first charge is often to test the firepower, just to detect the firepower points on our position. The tactics of the Japs combined with infantry and artillery are the most popular in this world.

It’s second to none!”

The Japanese army lacked a large-scale armored group, and they fought several battles with a certain country in the north at Lushunkou, and their use of artillery reached its peak.

"The second suggestion can be adopted, but the first suggestion is not easy to adopt. This is not a position of three to five hundred meters. Two machine guns can form a fire fan, leaving only two heavy machine guns to really protect the two wings.

But the pressure is all on the front. Once the Japanese army uses heavy artillery to blow open the city wall, the Japanese army will file in through the blasted gap."

"Commander, you don't really plan to fight the Japanese army to the death on the city wall, do you? Do you think that with our military strength, under the Japanese heavy artillery and aircraft bombardment, we can survive until reinforcements arrive?" Zhao Zhiguo asked Chu Jie.

Chu Jie's brows were furrowed: "No one knows how many days we can hold on until the last moment!"

"Two days? Three days? Four days is the limit, right? Then what? What if our reinforcements don't arrive after four days? We lost thousands of troops to recapture Pingcheng, and gave it to the Japs, and then built another

With thousands of casualties, we retreat in despair? Then why are we still guarding him?"

"Zhao Zhiguo, pay attention to your words!" the division chief of staff reminded Zhao Zhiguo.

"Commander, my brothers and I are not afraid of death. What we are afraid of is dying because Pingcheng has not been defended!" Zhao Zhiguo ignored the chief of staff and continued, "I know that you who are division commanders and army commanders are serious, and we who are

The lives of soldiers are worthless. If you lose them, you will lose them. If you have money, you can recruit another batch. Anyway, China has no shortage of people. If we die, you will not remember who we are, and there will be no burden in your hearts."

In the eyes of some officials, there is no difference between thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, because to them, they are just cold numbers.
