Chapter 1077 They've arrived; they should at least do something.
Ono turned to look at Zhou Weiguo; "Is there anything else I don't know?"
Zhou Weiguo nodded; "Our equipment will be replenished over there. This equipment is already on its way."
"Alright, if that's the case, then I have no objections." Ono stood up and patted off non-existent dirt; "Then I'll go take a look, and sell whatever I can."
Ono wanted to sell everything off, but the Fifth War Zone Command moved quickly. Two days later, during the night shift change, the Independent Brigade changed into the uniforms of the Guangxi Army and then used transport planes to go to Changsha with Commander Bai.
Changsha has been ceded to the 11th Army, but the front line is in a very unfavorable situation. Once the two rivers are crossed, the Japanese army will be able to reach Changsha.
This was a very unfavorable situation. Several times, the Ninth War Zone planned to launch a counterattack to drive the Japanese army further away, but each attack resulted in heavy losses. In desperation, the war zone command abandoned the plan.
This time, the General Headquarters and Commander Bai secretly mobilized the Independent Brigade to take down this tough nut to crack.
Just days before the Independent Brigade arrived, the Setani Detachment happened to enter this position, which was named 002, with both sides' forces deployed in a complex and intertwined manner on its left and right.
The independent brigade, operating under the name of the Provisional 8th Division, rested for one night on the outskirts of Changsha. Then, under the orders of Commander Bai, they went to relieve the two Sichuan Army divisions in front of them.
The Sichuan Army suffered heavy losses in the recent battles. Due to the lack of reinforcements and the intensity of the fighting, they could only hold on. This time, they were to be withdrawn to the rear for rest and reorganization.
After the troop rotation, Zhou Weiguo did not immediately enter the command post, but instead led his men to see the defensive positions dug by the Sichuan Army.
"It seems that people learn as they grow," Zhou Weiguo said as he approached a machine gun emplacement.
He recalled that during the Battle of Shanghai, the Sichuan Army didn't even know how to dig machine gun emplacements. He understood that at that time, the Japanese army was nothing in the eyes of the Sichuan Army. However, the series of battles in Shanghai, Xuzhou, and Wuhan woke them up and they learned to dig trenches to protect themselves.
However, these trenches were not dug to a very high standard; at least in the eyes of Zhou Weiguo and the others present, they were completely substandard.
"If so many people die and things don't change, then it's really unacceptable." Asaka Shurei stuffed a candy into her mouth, then kicked the nearby single-person bunker hard.
It was very light; when she kicked it, it actually showed signs of loosening.
Fang Shengli saw it clearly, and he coughed and asked, "Old Zhou, should we have everyone renovate it again?"
If a fight breaks out, the Independent Brigade will suffer heavy losses.
Zhou Weiguo pointed to his head; "How are we going to dig? We're wearing Tony Stark's helmet right now."
He then pointed to the soldiers who were entering the position next to him; "Earthy yellow uniforms, yellow shorts and straw sandals, when have you ever seen that? The Guangxi Army is good at digging trenches."
The Guangxi Army fought without regard for their lives; they truly didn't value their own lives. Their character was somewhat similar to that of the Japanese army, but they were definitely not cruel.
Digging trenches is too time-consuming.
"But what if a war breaks out?" Fang Shengli didn't dare to think about it. These trenches could be blown up by a single shell from the enemy.
"We're on the offensive, not on the defensive, so why worry about so much?" Zhou Weiguo smiled, then took the binoculars from Zhao Shoutian to check the situation on the other side.
Clearly, the flag of the Japanese Setani Detachment was flying not far away. Faintly, he could see many antennas about 700 meters away. If he was not mistaken, that should be the Setani Detachment's command post. A short distance ahead were their artillery positions and infantry defensive positions.
Both sides were changing their positions; at least he could see the Japanese machine gun emplacements, which were just piles of sandbags, even worse than those of the Sichuan Army. However, they were backed by mortar positions forming an interception.
"Let's gather a few regimental commanders and have a meeting."
Now?
Fang Shengli looked up at Zhou Weiguo. He wanted to ask for a reason, but in the end, he didn't ask and went to call someone.
Before long, several regimental commanders arrived at the command post.
This is the forward command post, piled high with pine logs and sandbags to withstand Japanese aerial bombing, and even has anti-aircraft machine gun positions on both sides.
"Sit down, everyone." Zhou Weiguo gestured for everyone to sit down, then took off Tony's helmet and placed it aside before saying to the regimental commanders, "I think you all know that our purpose in coming here is to take down the Japanese troops stationed at position 002, thereby ensuring the military security of the northwest direction of the theater command and preventing us from being unable to stop the Japanese attack in time if they launch a surprise attack. Moreover, it is not convenient for the command to evacuate again. Therefore, our mission this time will be very important."
At this point, Zhou Weiguo tapped the table, then took a cigarette from the plate and asked, "How are the preparations going, everyone?"
As the regimental commander, Sun Xinpu spoke first: "Brigade Commander, the morale of the regiment is high."
"The same goes for the Second Regiment."
"All three groups are the same."
“We’re all the same,” the Fourth Regiment Commander followed closely behind.
Gao Yun and Chen Jun, who were also attending the meeting, raised their hands: "Brigade Commander, we have a problem with our weapons and equipment."
He was left in the Fifth War Zone.
They now have less than half of what they used to have. If they were to fight, without sufficient ammunition, they wouldn't be able to provide protection for their infantry.
Zhou Weiguo had a cigarette in his mouth, and Ruth immediately lit it for him before stepping back and standing there.
As for Wang Yun, she was only responsible for taking photos; recording was Shen Xin's job.
"The war zone will provide us with supplies for this issue. I just want to ask if we have enough resources to support a battle."
Before Gao Yun and Chen Jun could speak, Takeshita Shun, who was also smoking nearby, glanced at Zhou Weiguo and stared blankly for a moment.
Ha ha……
He chuckled twice, then said nothing, but he knew what Zhou Weiguo was planning.
They're planning another surprise attack.
"no problem."
After Zhou Weiguo hummed in response, he stood up and looked at Xu Hu beside him.
He raised his hand to check the time and asked, "I'll give you three hours. With the Sichuan Army brothers' reconnaissance, confirm the troop deployment and firepower deployment of the Japanese Setani Detachment once again. Can you do that?"
Xu Hu dared not agree rashly. Although he did not know what the brigade commander was going to do, he knew that if the brigade commander were to launch an attack, it would be based on his reconnaissance to make the deployment.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
