Chapter 638: What's New

Last night everything was an exchange of fire with the Japanese troops, and everything else was an illusion. The mine protection team did not leave Weishan Lake at all, and after they broke through the Japanese position, Shen Zhengwen gave the order that all troops return.

As for the boats by the lake, Shen Zhengwen also asked the troops to prepare in advance, and when he saw Weishan Lake on the map, he arranged for a platoon of soldiers to go to Weishan Lake to reconnoiter the situation first, and then collect boats from the local old fishermen.

With enough boats, Shen Zhengwen was able to carry out his plan smoothly, so he left some of the boats on the shore of Weishan Lake, letting the little devils know that they had not returned to the lake by boat, and had already broken through and evacuated.

The warriors, in part of the boats, went into the reeds under the cover of night and hid in the reeds. Sure enough, the little devil only searched the island in the lake and then opened it, and did not search the reeds on the lake.

Moreover, through this battle, the mine protection team collected a lot of ammunition and food from the Japanese army, and they will not face the problem of food and ammunition shortage in a short time.

There was finally no Japanese army around, and the tense nerves of the soldiers of the mine protection team gradually relaxed, although they could repair for a while, but they knew that the troops were not out of danger, unless they could return to Taihang Mountain safely, they could completely relax.

However, the warriors did not miss such a good opportunity to recuperate, and since they had infiltrated behind enemy lines, they had not slept and were always ready for battle. Now that they finally have a chance, the fighters can relax.

The soldiers can take a bath, enjoy the warm sunshine by the lake, and make up a pot of fish soup with a few fish, although there is no salt and no condiments, but it is indeed a luxury for the soldiers to be able to eat a hot meal.

The soldiers can relax and rest, but Shen Zhengwen can't relax, he wants to plan a way out for the troops.

The junction of Shandong and Hebei has been blocked, and it is clear that they have not been able to return to Hebei from Shandong. But all roads lead to Rome, and Shen Zhengwen doesn't believe that they can't find a way home.

However, the Japanese troops in Shandong could not understand that the Chinese army that had suddenly appeared in their defense area had suddenly disappeared, and the Japanese had already searched in the direction where the Chinese army might have fled, but found nothing.

It was perhaps best for the Japanese in Shantung that they would not have to spend their energy and men on this Chinese army, and after five days, the Japanese commander had informed all the troops to stop looking for the Chinese army, and issued a statement that the Chinese army was no longer in their zone.

Although in the past few days, the Japanese army also arranged patrol boats to come to Weishan Lake, but did not find any shadow of the Chinese, because when the Japanese army came, they had already hidden in the reeds, and the Japanese army could not find their trace at all.

After resting, Shen Zhengwen still left Weishan Lake with his troops, disappeared into the land of Qilu, and entered Henan along the border between Shandong and Jiangsu, as well as Anhui, but the mine protection team did not go deep into the boundary of Henan, after all, at the junction of the two provinces, the Japanese army's patrol and defense were more relaxed, and if they encountered trouble in Henan, they would just go back the same way.

After entering Henan, the soldiers were a little excited in their hearts, because they would soon be able to enter Hebei, and entering Hebei could be regarded as arriving at the doorstep, as long as they were careful enough along the way, they would definitely be able to survive.

The mine protection team has been walking at the junction of the provinces for seven days, and they never imagined that they would walk so far and walk so many places that they can't even remember their names, but this is indeed a good experience for them, thinking that they have seen the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and have seen the customs and customs of various places.

It turns out that the mountains and rivers of the country they are defending are so magnificent and so delicate, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives for such rivers and mountains of the motherland.

Shen Zhengwen is also the first time to walk through so many places, he used to learn about the mountains and rivers of the motherland from books, but now he has walked around, and in reality it is more majestic and heroic than in books.

"I've read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles!" Shen Zhengwen looked at the endless fields, and a sense of pride arose in his heart. This experience is not necessarily shared by his teachers.

After several days of preparation, more than 35,000 troops have been assembled around Datong, of which 10,000 are newly recruited recruits.

With such a large-scale mobilization of troops, it is impossible for the little devil not to know, especially when the little devil's defense area is so close to Datong, it is a little too difficult not to be known by the little devil.

Although the troops were gathered, Liao Fan never gave the order for the troops to move, except for one reason why the New 33rd Army was negotiating with the Japanese army, that is, their scouts had not returned.

Liao Fan had no information in his hands, and of course he did not dare to order the troops to attack the Japanese army on the defense line of the Great Wall.

In fact, in the face of the ancient Great Wall, Liao Fan ordered a ban on the use of heavy artillery, that is, the * guns they had could not be used, and they could only rely on soldiers and mortars to destroy the Japanese strongholds.

The Great Wall is the crystallization of ancient Chinese civilization and culture, and it is easy to destroy it once it is broken, but only the ruins of the Great Wall can be left to future generations, so Liao Fan had to order that all artillery with a larger caliber than the Japanese mountain artillery could not be used in this operation.

Of course, no one dared to doubt Liao Fan's order, but they still couldn't understand why they should abandon their heavy artillery and exchange the lives of their soldiers for these ruined city walls.

But Liao Fan knew that these ancient walls were pregnant with the wisdom of China thousands of years ago, and if the walls were in ruins, the command and culture they contained would also disappear.

Just like the Kang family's books, it is precisely because of the inheritance of these things that Chinese culture has been passed down for thousands of years, and after they leave this world, they will continue to play a role in carrying China's long-standing cultural heritage.

Therefore, it is impossible for Liao Fan to let the Great Wall be destroyed in his own hands, even if he pays more soldiers' lives, he must ensure that what he takes is a complete city wall.

Although Liao Fan did not attack on a large scale, Li Weimin had already arranged for the soldiers of the next regiment under his command to be divided into several groups and launched a tentative attack on the Japanese army to test the reality of the little devil's defense.

As it warms up day by day, the color of the inside and outside of the Great Wall also changes, and the land is full of green scenes. After the Great Wall is the grassland, the Suiyuan area is located on the plateau, the terrain is undulating, the terrain is very favorable to the little devils, and it is not a good thing for the new 33rd Army. Because this is the world of cavalry and armored corps.

Fengzhen was the general headquarters of the Japanese front, just a step away from the Great Wall, and in order to be able to keep abreast of the battle situation at the front, the Japanese commander had pushed his command to the forefront.

In the past few days, he has begun to prepare for the battle with the new 33rd Army, and the small and continuous harassment of the Chinese army in the past few days has made him feel that a big war is coming.

But after waiting for several days, the large force of the Chinese army has not yet appeared, which makes the commander of the little devil a little annoyed, and he does not dare to give the order to let the troops take the initiative to attack, in case it is a trick of the Chinese to lure the enemy, and the initiative to attack will fall into the hands of the Chinese.

The commander of the little devil ordered all the troops to hold on, and no one was allowed to take the initiative to attack, so the little devil began to be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and decided not to fight back, and he couldn't fight the fortifications, anyway, you are here to harass, let's just watch.

The regiment commander who led the team to harass the Japanese army did not think about luring the snake out of the hole, the strength of his regiment was only more than 1,000 people, not even one-third of the strength of other regiments, he knew that his troops were sent out by Li Weimin for training, and he knew that he had a few catties and taels.

If you lure the snake out of the hole, you will be bitten by the snake.

But the head of the regiment will not let his actions have no meaning, they specially pick the little devil to start when he is resting, such as when the little devil is eating, and when the little devil is sleeping.

This is the most annoying thing for the little devils, at the end of the day, there are only a few points when they can rest, all of which are clearly felt by the Chinese army, just pick up the bowl to eat,* exploded, they had to throw down the dishes and chopsticks and lie down in the trench with their guns and wait.

At night, when it was time to sleep, they had just made their beds, and the gunshots rang out again, and they had to carry the pants they had just taken off to prepare for battle. To the chagrin of the little devils, their wake-up post was at six o'clock in the morning, but the Chinese soldiers attacked them a quarter of an hour earlier.

In this way, for a few days, the Japanese soldiers did not sleep enough, ate restlessly, from the senior officers to the ordinary soldiers below all had dark circles under their eyes, and a few soldiers even suffered from nervous breakdowns, and after hearing the order, they were slow to react.

The 10,000 soldiers on the main position were disturbed by a regiment of the New 33rd Army, and they could not take the initiative to attack them with fortifications.

A few days have passed, and Liao Fan still has not given the order for a final attack.

However, there was a lot of progress in the negotiations between Liao Jundong and the commander of the little devil, and the Japanese army actually demanded the signing of a peace agreement with the Chinese army after negotiating the matter of prisoners of war, which was a new thing.

Liao Fan felt fresh, did this little devil commander's head have been soaked in donkey urine, how could he have such a stupid idea. In Liao Fan's opinion, the commander of the little devil was stupid enough to not let the troops support Datong, but he didn't expect that after hearing about this matter today, he believed that there should be nothing more stupid in the world than this matter.

"Brother Fan, will the little devil have any conspiracy?" Huang Changsheng carefully reminded Liao Fan that he didn't believe that the little devil commander was such a stupid guy.
