Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 380: Preventing Night Attacks

The advantages of fighting together with the Security Corps' army are visible to the naked eye. No matter how powerful the Japanese devils in front of you are, as long as the Security Corps' army arrives, they will be beaten so hard that they can't find their way back. Moreover, in the end, if the security corps' soldiers have to clean up the battlefield due to the emergency situation, they basically won't do so because they don't have the energy or so many people.

Zhang Fabai's army can be said to have made a small fortune. At least every soldier in their army has a gun. Although they had some in the past, there are also some older muzzle-loading rifles. Such things have been eliminated for many years, but as people say, having such a gun is better than having nothing at all.

Things developed pretty much as expected. After the main defenders in the Luodian area were killed, all that remained was to wipe out the remaining enemies in the surrounding areas.

Zhang Dashan ordered his troops to form combat units of two squads and began to clear out the remaining forces on the positions in the surrounding areas. The remaining armored soldiers organized defense on the spot. Unlike other battles, the goal this time was to hold the place rather than expand the results of the battle.

If it were the same as before, the security corps would never stop their attack. They would ask for immediate support from the Air Force and launch an attack on the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, their task now is to stay here. The order from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has been issued, asking them to hold this place until tomorrow morning because reinforcements will not arrive until tomorrow morning.

Moreover, the head of the Military and Political Department had repeatedly told them not to underestimate the Japanese devils' ability to attack at night. Zhang Dashan was a little surprised at this time. In the past, we organized death squads to counterattack at night. Isn't this the patent of our Chinese army? When did the Japanese devils also start this trick?

There is no way around it. In the past, the Japanese devils were very powerful in attacking during the day, and of course the Chinese army would counterattack at night. But now the situation is the other way around. The Security Corps has gained a large number of positions during the day, and the Japanese devils are no match for the Security Corps during the day. They can only take back the positions at night.

However, some things are not up to you. The brothers in our security regiment have outstanding offensive capabilities during the day and outstanding night combat capabilities at night. They conducted night combat training when they were at the Chahar base.

"You guys did a good job during the day, you have to cheer up at night, because night is the real time to fight. During the day, we relied on our more advanced weapons and equipment to beat the Japanese devils so hard that they couldn't even raise their heads. But at night, due to the problem of line of sight, it is very likely that our weapon advantage will not be able to play a role. We have been equipped with a large number of searchlights and some small generators. Set them all up tonight. Don't worry about the number of flares, just fire them all out." Zhang Dashan arranged the night combat missions in the temporary regiment headquarters.

"It seems that your security corps' ability to win battles is not just talk. You are doing the right thing. I have seen many armies that can win battles, but they would relax immediately after winning a battle. Your security corps is really amazing. You didn't relax at all." Zhang Fabai said sincerely. There were many armies in the Central Army that could win battles, but after they won the battle, they were immediately defeated by the Japanese devils because they became proud after winning the battle.

"This is what our commander-in-chief said. Just after the battle, our commander-in-chief's command arrived and asked us to be on high alert at night to prevent sneak attacks by the Japanese devils. Otherwise, how could we have so many flares!" Mao Yuanshan was afraid that they would become lax after winning the battle, so he told them that the Luodian area was of vital importance. It can be said that it is now the most important area in the whole of China. The eyes of the people across the country are focused on this place. Once the Luodian area is lost, the battle in the Yangtze River Delta will also change accordingly.

No matter how difficult the battles in other places are, as long as the Luodian area is still in our hands, the Japanese devils will feel some constraints when attacking. They will feel like there is a thorn stuck in their throats. If we can keep this thorn stuck in the throats of the Japanese devils, this is the only counterattack that the Chinese army can make now.

"In the past, I really thought that your commander-in-chief was just lucky. Don't be angry when I say this. In recent times, I have discovered that he is really capable, otherwise we would not have been able to defeat the Soviets and the Japanese." Zhang Fabai said this honestly. To be honest, the top leaders within the party have really changed their previous views on Mao Yuanshan. In the past, they believed that this guy relied on nepotism to get to the top. After all, the relationship is there, whether you use it or not, it has a certain influence.

In recent times, especially when Mao Yuanshan captured Irkutsk, everyone really changed their mind about him. This man definitely has real ability. If it was just luck, it would not have lasted for so long. If you are lucky, you can also try to see if you can meet them. The Soviets have hundreds of thousands of troops, and they can still maintain a war with the Japanese at the same time. If you can do it, it means you are really lucky.

"From what I heard from Commander Zhang, it seems that he and our commander-in-chief are getting along quite well. I wonder if Commander Zhang wants to go to Chahar to develop things? Our side is in a state of disrepair and what we lack most are officers. If Commander Zhang really goes there, his achievements will definitely not be inferior to mine." Zhang Dashan also understood what Zhang Fabai meant. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he had already started the conversation. When he came, Mao Yuanshan told Zhang Dashan that if there were any talents here, he could just take them over. Although Zhang Fabai was not considered a talent, he was good at leading troops. Didn't you see that he had used his own Guangdong Army to resist the Japanese invaders' attacks for several days?

"That won't do. Commander Li from our Guangxi clique has praised your commander-in-chief highly. You are trying to poach him." Zhang Fabai said with a smile. Everyone was smart and naturally couldn't finalize anything at the beginning. They could just take it slowly in the future. There was still a lot of time!
