“Ningbei County has fallen, but the Japanese reacted quickly and filled the gap. You can’t take it over now. This one city is not the focus now. We must prevent the Japanese from retaliating, especially from air raids,” Lu Erjie said solemnly.
"Given the Japanese devils' character, if they can't catch the enemy, they'll definitely vent their anger on Laiyang City. More than five hundred Japanese devils! Damn, that's really satisfying!" Lin Zihui slammed his hand on the table.
"Battalion Commander Cui, the anti-aircraft artillery company should quickly deploy for combat, be on high alert against Japanese sneak attacks, set up as many anti-aircraft machine guns as possible, and shoot down every Japanese plane that comes with anti-aircraft guns."
Regimental Commander Lin Zihui had the confidence to say this because, in order to counter the Japanese aircraft, Lu Erjie had funded the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army with tens of thousands of anti-aircraft machine guns, which played a huge role on the battlefield. Although the Japanese had many aircraft, they could not withstand the powerful and dense anti-aircraft fire of the anti-aircraft machine guns. The anti-aircraft machine guns played an indispensable role in Laiyang's ability to fight the Japanese until now. The anti-aircraft machine guns mounted on the rooftops and the anti-aircraft guns hidden on the ground were the main force among the main forces.
Anti-aircraft machine guns and cannons require not only accurate operation from the gunners, but also a lot of luck. However, with more planes, the chances of hitting them increase significantly. Dense shells and machine gun bullets form a fire net in the sky, which is what pilots fear the most.
Laiyang shot down dozens of Japanese aircraft in numerous battles, which, considering that a combat company typically only had a few or a few dozen planes, represented a significant loss for each one. After all, airplanes are not like rifles; they are not so easy to manufacture.
"Commander Lin, the Japanese retaliation won't be so simple. They'll bomb from the air and clear the way with tanks on the ground. We must fully anticipate the difficulties in our defenses," Lu Erjie said worriedly.
Lin Zihui nodded and pondered, "Report to the higher-ups immediately and order reinforcements to Laiyang."
The forces stationed in Laiyang numbered several thousand, with regular troops plus local guerrilla forces totaling tens of thousands. To ensure the safety of Laiyang, a major defensive battle was necessary.
Lu Erjie was not good at commanding this kind of battle. He believed that the battle-hardened Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army could successfully complete the blocking battle, which was to set up an ambush on the way the Japanese came and destroy the Japanese tanks. The Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army had rocket launchers supported by Lu Erjie, which were specifically designed to destroy tanks.
"We must fight, and we must hold a welcoming ceremony." Regiment Commander Lin Zihui was determined because of the orders from his superiors.
Lu Erjie felt somewhat helpless.
The news of a big shot arriving in Laiyang spread quickly within the army. Lu Erjie's cars were surrounded by onlookers. Normally, soldiers were not allowed to enter or leave the command post at will, but perhaps Lin Zihui had taken the soldiers' curiosity into account, so he was not as strict as usual. The ten bodyguards became animals to be watched, and everything they held, from their heads and feet to their hands, became novelties.
The troop movements and assembly were not his concern; he was merely a passerby who had caused considerable trouble for the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army in Laiyang. However, they didn't see it that way. With Lu Erjie, it was no less than having five armies. His resources alone were enough to ensure the Anti-Japanese United Army's invincibility. Such a distinguished guest could not be neglected under any circumstances. Moreover, a strict order was given: even if the entire army was wiped out, not a single hair on Lu Erjie's head could be lost.
The entire Laiyang County town appeared calm, but in reality, a large number of troops were arriving in droves. Brother troops were marching at full speed, and the regular army had military vehicles donated by the Supreme Commander. They arrived in Laiyang and, without even having a sip of water, immediately began their intense deployment.
Inside and outside the city, trenches were dug, battle trenches were built, and ambushes were set up. Everything was in place, just waiting for the Japanese to retaliate.
The Japanese had a pattern of attack: first, they would bomb the enemy with planes, then tanks would lead the way, followed by infantry. This time, the Japanese suffered a great loss, so they were not going to let it go. This time, they also quickly mobilized twenty-four planes, sixty tanks, and three regiments of troops, just waiting for the order to march on Laiyang.
The atmosphere of impending storm grew stronger. The Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army also contacted Lu Erjie, sending an entire army under the command of Zhou Baolin, a renowned commander of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army.
Zhou Baolin was the supreme commander of the 24th Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, and Lin Zihui's regiment belonged to his army.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Erjie went to the command post to learn how others deployed their forces. As a modern soldier in the 21st century, he was not familiar with the combat situation at the time. What he knew was only what he had seen on TV and in movies. Those were fictional battles. Real encirclement battles and blocking battles were different. It seemed like a small county town, but there was a lot of knowledge involved in the deployment.
As expected of the army commander, Zhou had a thorough understanding of the battlefield. It could be said that no one knew every brick, tile, ditch, and hill in Laiyang better than him. He would often look at the topographical map hanging on the wall, and then lead a group of generals to the front line to supervise the deployment. Lu Erjie silently watched and learned from all of this.
This will be a fierce battle!
Lu Erjie was no pushover; every battle was a test of his troops' blood and fire. To avoid making a scene, Lu Erjie made an excuse to go to the toilet and disappeared without a trace.
Then they found a huge, uninhabited open space and released more than 20,000 self-propelled artillery units, anti-aircraft artillery units, and infantry from space.
When he returned, Commander Zhou was furious with one of the guards protecting Lu Erjie.
The reason was that the guard was escorting Lu Erjie to the toilet, but when he didn't return for a long time, he went in and was shocked.
He wasn't the only one terrified; the commanders of Laiyang were all terrified. Their feelings need no further explanation.
“I’m back. Don’t blame him. I did it on my own.” Lu Erjie strode into the command post, grabbed Commander Zhou’s hand and said, “I know you have questions. Don’t say anything now. Come with me.”
Despite being filled with questions and confusion, Zhou Baolin still followed Lu Erjie into his Mengshi vehicle.
"Where are you taking me, Boss Lu? I can't just leave now. And you can't run around either. If something happens, how can I explain it to the whole army?" Zhou Baolin thought Lu Erjie was just a child, playful and immature.
Lu Erjie didn't answer, he just smiled. When the car arrived at a certain place, Zhou Baolin saw a densely packed group of soldiers in the distance.
Zhou Baolin gasped, his expression immediately tensing. What kind of unit was this? Where did they come from? The Japanese?
"Commander Zhou, this is my secret unit. You've been wondering why I was able to capture Ningbei County, right? It was them who did it, but I hid them." Lu Erjie was afraid that Commander Zhou would ask a lot of questions, so he quickly said something that was half true and half false.
"Wow? This is the guy you recruited at your training base in Shanghai?" Zhou Baolin exclaimed excitedly.
"I suppose so, but this is only a small part!" Lu Erjie said calmly.
Zhou Baolin gasped again. As a senior general of the Anti-Japanese United Army, he knew about Lu Erjie's Supreme Bodyguard Training Base. He didn't expect there to be so many people there, and that was only a small part of it. If you counted carefully, there must be hundreds of thousands of people.
“This is called being prepared for a rainy day. In order to fight against the Japanese, I must also have my own army. They are just security personnel, but in fact they receive military training every day. When it comes to the battlefield, they are elite soldiers.” Lu Erjie and Zhou Baolin got out of the car.
"Salute!" Commander Guo Lei shouted.
brush!
The soldiers, in perfect uniform, saluted in unison.
"Good heavens!" Zhou Baolin couldn't contain his excitement. With such elite troops and equipment, what was there to be afraid of?
"This is our division commander Guo Lei, and this is Commander Zhou of the 24th Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army," Lu Erjie introduced them.
"Greetings, Commander Zhou!" Guo Lei gave a standard military salute.
Zhou Baolin returned the salute with a serious expression, and the two shook hands.
"These men are all under your command, Commander Zhou. If you have any questions about the equipment, just ask Guo Lei," Lu Erjie said.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. The situation is urgent." Commander Zhou glanced around; everyone was energetic and full of spirit—they must be elite troops, you could tell just by looking at their morale. Commander Zhou was extremely excited to be able to command a force personally trained by Lu Erjie.
"Please give your instructions, Commander." Guo Lei saluted.
"How many infantrymen are there? How many anti-aircraft artillery units? And how many of those... what kind of artillery are there?" Commander Zhou asked.
"Reporting to the Commander: 29,000 infantry, 5,000 light and heavy machine guns, 1,000 boxes of grenades, ample machine gun ammunition, 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns with 300 personnel, 20 self-propelled artillery pieces with 40 personnel, 200 anti-tank rocket launchers, and 300 shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile launchers. Report complete, please give instructions!"
Zhou Baolin was drenched in cold sweat; he couldn't even imagine what it would be like to fight the Japanese.
“To elaborate further, mainly to introduce the features of the equipment,” Zhou Baolin said, frowning.
"Each tracked self-propelled artillery piece can easily fire 26 rounds, with an effective range of 38.7 kilometers. The shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile launchers are mainly designed to target aircraft and can shoot down large and small aircraft flying at an altitude of 3,000 meters. The self-propelled anti-aircraft guns have a high rate of fire, great power, and high reliability. The fire control system includes: search radar, tracking radar, fire control computer, optical sight, infrared tracking device, laser rangefinder, etc.," Guo Lei added.
“Alright, you will still be in charge of your troops,” Commander Zhou said readily. The string of new names was giving him a headache; he had never heard of them before, and they seemed like complete fantasy.
"Commander Zhou, in order to reduce casualties, I will provide each of your soldiers with a bulletproof helmet and a bulletproof vest," Lu Erjie said.
"Thank you so much!" Zhou Baolin was too excited to speak. These high-level gadgets were specially issued to them by Lu Erjie, and only high-ranking officers had them; ordinary soldiers did not.
Thus, the mighty army marched into Laiyang County.
The entire Anti-Japanese United Army was in an uproar. With this new force joining the ranks, the battle would be much easier. Everyone was overjoyed, as they were now wearing new helmets and bulletproof vests, enhancing their battlefield survivability. No wonder they were able to capture Ningbei County so easily; with such advanced weaponry, it would be strange if they couldn't.
The army was redeployed and reorganized. With the influx of new blood and the addition of new weapons, the soldiers' morale soared to unprecedented heights, and they couldn't wait for the battle to begin.
