Walking through the position of the 173rd Division, Liu Shanyang smacked the intensity of the Japanese army's artillery fire on the main position, if the Japanese put this intensity of artillery fire on the position of the garrison regiment, I don't know how many soldiers of the garrison regiment on the position will survive. The two heralds who followed Liu Goat had long been dumbfounded, and the main position, which they had envied, had now been bombarded beyond recognition by the Japanese artillery, even the bunkers made of stone slabs and rough wood had not been spared.

Along the way, Liu Goat and the others saw the soldiers of the 173rd Division who were carrying the wounded and corpses, and Liu Goat probably made a visual inspection, and the two rounds of artillery fire of the Japanese army made at least one company of the 173rd Division soldiers become wounded and corpses. "Before this battle started, a company was killed by the artillery fire of the little devils, and the combat effectiveness of the 173rd Division would not even be able to catch up with Lao Tzu's garrison, right?" Turning sideways past the soldiers of the 173rd Division who were carrying the corpses, Liu Goat's heart couldn't help but worry, if Zhou Yuan's troops were only such combat effectiveness, then Mengcheng would be dangerous.

"Commander Zhou, please inside, our division commander is waiting for you." The second lieutenant who had gone to convey the order to Liu Goat was waiting outside Zhou Yuan's temporary command post, and when he saw Liu Goat coming with someone, he hurriedly stepped forward to talk. followed the smiling second lieutenant officer into Zhou Yuan's temporary command post, Liu Goat found that the command post was already full of officers of Zhou Yuan's command, and Zhou Yuan, who rolled up his sleeves and opened his military uniform, seemed to be scolding, but he didn't know which unlucky guy became the target of Zhou Yuan's scolding.

"Qin Bald, I sue you, I don't know who your backers are, and now it's me Zhou Yuan who is commanding this regiment. If your battalion refuses to obey orders or retreats before fighting, you can find a crooked neck tree and hang yourself, and I will collect your body. When Liu Goat saw Zhou Yuan along the scolding voice, the latter was stretching out his hand and pointing at a bald officer and scolding. The bald officer who was scolded by him didn't dare to fight back, but kept his head down and let Zhou Yuan scold, not even saying a word to defend himself.

I don't know if Zhou Yuan did it on purpose, after which second lieutenant officer who led Liu Goat in stepped forward and whispered, Zhou Yuan just glanced at Liu Goat, but ignored Liu Goat, and continued to scold a short and fat officer standing in front of him. "Kill a chicken to show the monkey, but you don't know who is the chicken and who is the monkey." Liu Goat had seen too many of Zhou Yuan's methods, so he paced to the corner of the command post and sat quietly smoking, completely ignoring the surprised gazes of the officers around him.

Liu Goat is also arrogant in his bones, and he didn't bow his head when he was teaching the generals of the corps in Nanjing City, Zhou Yuan was just a deputy division commander who couldn't be ranked in the national army sequence, how could Liu Goat bow to him. Seeing that Liu Goat directly chose to ignore himself, Zhou Yuan, who used the topic to play, scolded a few more words before stopping, without Liu Goat's cooperation, he couldn't sing this one-man show at all. Seeing that Zhou Yuan stopped, Liu Goat, who was sitting and smoking, still did not move, and waved his hand to the second lieutenant officer who invited him to take a seat, indicating that it was good for him to sit here.

Observing the expressions and reactions of everyone in the command post with the corner of his eye, Liu Shanyang realized that the regiment that came from 173 was not monolithic, at least he found suspicion in the eyes and expressions of these officers. "It seems that not everyone is convinced of Zhou Yuan" Liu Goat muttered secretly in his heart, he even thought about the 173rd Division letting Zhou Yuan, the deputy division commander, personally bring a regiment into Mengcheng, whether Zhou Yuan offended the upper echelons of the 173rd Division, this is to send Zhou Yuan to the army.

"Okay, now that the person has expired, then I'll talk about our next countermeasures." Seeing that Liu Goat had been nesting in the corner, Zhou Yuan could only hold the fire in his heart, the Japanese army's offensive intentions were already very obvious, and now was really not the time to care about these. "The Japanese have already carried out two rounds of shelling of our positions, and they will definitely attack next." Listening to Zhou Yuan's speech, Liu Goat, who was holding a cigarette, secretly shouted nonsense in his heart, when he was called to the meeting, the Japanese attacking troops were already assembled.

"Commander Liu, I heard that you have also arranged a company at the Beishan checkpoint, if the battle is tense, can you use your company in Beishan to attack the Japanese artillery position, the Japanese artillery fire is too threatening to us." Zhou Yuan talked a lot, and suddenly led the topic to Liu Goat. Liu Goat, who had been sitting and smoking without making a sound, realized that Zhou Yuan really meant to call him over, and it turned out that he was fighting Tang Cheng and the idea of the 1st Company.

Liu Goat and Jin Dapeng, who was standing beside Zhou Yuan, glanced at each other, and saw that the other party did not avoid his eyes, Liu Goat relieved himself, as long as Zhou Yuan didn't want to borrow a knife to kill people, this matter would be easy to do. "Division Commander Zhou, our garrison regiment did arrange a company at the Beishan checkpoint outside the city, but now the Japanese army has blocked all the roads leading to Beishan in the city, and I can't contact the 1st company at all, let alone assign them tasks, I can't contact them." Liu Goat shouted bitterly at Zhou Yuan again and again, and the angry Zhou Yuan almost scolded immediately.

Zhou Yuan suddenly mentioned the 1st Company of Beishan, it was indeed not to avenge Zhou Xiong, in Zhou Yuan's original battle plan, the 173rd Division was also to transfer troops to be deployed on the periphery as a countermeasure, but unfortunately the Japanese army came too suddenly, and before Zhou Yuan gathered his troops, the Japanese army had already blocked the passage out of the city. In the entire Mengcheng garrison, only the 1st company of Tangcheng is not in the encirclement of the Japanese army, so Zhou Yuan had to pin his hopes on Tangcheng, but unfortunately Liu Goat did not cooperate at all.

"What I said is true, we are all in the encirclement of the little devils, how can I contact the 1st Company in Beishan, I can't do it at all." Seeing Zhou Yuan looking at himself in disbelief, Liu Goat, who was sitting and smoking, had no choice but to snuff out the cigarette butt in his hand, and then slowly stood up, but although the person stood up, he kept screaming. Of course, Liu Shanyang is also telling the truth, Beishan is not close to the county seat, and it is not far from the county, if you want to send someone to contact the 1st company in Beishan, it is not a star and a half.

"Deputy division commander, why don't you let our reconnaissance company try it." When the air in the command post was about to freeze, Jin Dapeng, who had also not spoken, interjected. Jin Dapeng's reconnaissance company was the first unit in the entire 173 Division to rush to Mengcheng, thanks to Tang Cheng's warm hospitality, Jin Dapeng had already covered the terrain around Mengcheng, compared with other units of the 173 Division, Jin Dapeng's reconnaissance company was a unit familiar with the terrain here. Jin Dapeng knew that Zhou Yuan didn't want to get into trouble with the garrison, so his interjection was just enough to give Zhou Yuan and Liu Goat a step to borrow words, and it would really end badly after a while.

"No, your reconnaissance company has other tasks, and the work of sneaking up on the flank of the Japanese army will be left to others." Jin Dapeng had already given Zhou Yuan a step to change the topic, but he didn't want Zhou Yuan to ignore his words at all, but refused his request in one bite. Zhou Yuan didn't want to use his reconnaissance company to sneak attack the flank of the Japanese army, but Liu Goat couldn't contact Tangcheng in Beishan, and it was impossible for a garrison of only a few hundred people to do this, and the work of sneaking up on the Japanese army still had to fall on the head of the 173rd Division.

"Aging, the task of sneaking up on the flank of the Japanese army will be handed over to your 1st battalion, remember, your goal is only the position of the Japanese artillery, don't fall in love with the Japanese army." The officer who was ordered by Zhou Yuan was busy saluting, but Liu Goat saw that the saluting officer had already cried and lost his face. The passage out of the city has been almost completely blocked by the Japanese army, and a whole battalion of troops wants to carry out a sneak attack on the Japanese army from the flank, which is not a small risk in Liu Goat's opinion, if it is changed to Liu Goat to carry out this mission, he will choose to set off at night.

Maybe it was because of Liu Goat, and after Zhou Yuan arranged a sneak attack on the troops, he just said a few words and ordered the meeting to be dismissed. In Zhou Yuan's arrangement, the garrison regiment was still stationed in the current position, but he never looked at Liu Goat again. Seeing that Zhou Yuan was unwilling to take care of himself, Liu Goat was also happy that he had an easy end, anyway, he didn't have to be the cannon fodder troops, and it was not bad to stick to his position. "Damn, if there's no, just call Lao Tzu, it's okay to find trouble." Liu Goat, who came out of the command post, spat at the soil under his feet, obviously dissatisfied with Zhou Yuan calling him over but didn't do anything.

"I just don't know what happened to the stinky boy." Towards his own position, Liu Goat subconsciously looked in the direction of Beishan. The absence of a pillar of smoke means that there are no Japanese troops in Beishan, but Liu Goat has always had a very bad premonition in his heart. Under their strong assignment, Tang Cheng became the company commander of the 1st Company, and he also stuffed the 1st Company with many veterans who had been on the battlefield, but after all, this was the first time Tang Cheng independently commanded the battle, and Liu Goat's heart was very worried.

There was no human figure in the position of the garrison regiment, almost all the soldiers were still hiding in the anti-artillery holes, and only a company commander under Liu Shanyang and a few veterans were using wire to hook the weapons and ammunition outside the position. Fearing the cold guns of the Japanese sharpshooters, Liu did not allow his soldiers to climb the trenches to clean up the battlefield, and the bosses in the trenches had to use hooks and long ropes made of wire to hook weapons and ammunition outside the trenches if they wanted the loot.

Ignoring the greetings of his company commander and the veterans, Liu Goat, who returned to the position, took a telescope and observed the movements of the Japanese troops on the opposite side. When Liu Goat was called to the position of the 173rd Division, the Japanese army had already assembled the attacking troops, but it had been more than ten minutes, and the Japanese troops who appeared in the telescope still did not have the slightest intention of attacking immediately, which made Liu Goat very surprised, he didn't understand what kind of medicine the Japanese army was selling in this gourd.
