Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

"How is it? Can you move your legs? Someone, come here, why are you just standing there? Carry him down and treat his injuries. Do you want to stay here and get some fresh air?"

"Have you eaten yet? The weather is so cold, there's no need for so many people to be on guard. Tell the kitchen teams to start the stoves and take out all the Japanese beef cans!"

.....

Xu Le encouraged the soldiers as he walked.

This battle was considered a small-scale siege. No matter how strong the firepower was, some losses were inevitable. After all, people were needed to rush to the front to withstand some of the firepower and destroy the enemy's bunkers.

"Young Marshal, you're here. It's already so late. There's nothing to do for now. Go and rest first! Xiaohuan, Xiaocui, take Young Marshal downstairs to rest!"

"Xu Le was stunned, and looked behind him. He didn't know when the two girls Xiaohuan and Xiaocui appeared behind him!"

Jiang Feng hurriedly explained: "These two girls have been worried about the safety of the young commander these days. I couldn't convince them, so I asked them to come with me!"

Xiao Huan also spoke up hastily: "Young Marshal, don't blame Third Uncle, we forced him to do it!"

Although Xu Xiao and Jiang Feng and others were not sworn brothers, they grew up together and often wore the same pair of pants. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were real brothers. Therefore, everyone in the Xu family called Xu Xiao the Third Uncle, and the commander of the 387th Brigade who had died was called the Second Uncle by them.

"Forget it, you guys go down first, I still have things to do!"

The two girls still know what is important and will listen to Xu Le's words.

After a moment, Xu Le asked, "What is the damage?"

"The situation is optimistic. There are no more than a hundred casualties, all caused by the Japanese's final suicide charge. The Japanese in Pu County must have received the news. Their reinforcements may arrive before dawn, and there will be another battle to fight by then!"

"Well, there's no need to worry about Nan Yao. The Japanese reinforcements are mainly concentrated in Pu County, and the defense of the mountain village will be the focus at that time. There is also Baozidong. Xiangning will definitely send reinforcements. Baozidong is the only way for the Japanese to pass."

"I have already arranged it. The artillery battalions of the 666th and 665th regiments are deployed in the mountain village, and the artillery battalion of the 667th regiment is in Baozidong. There are a total of five battalions defending, and we are in a commanding position. Unless the Japanese send out a full-strength division, there will be no problem!"

.....

After a brief exchange, Xu Le went to check the iron mine. As for the military deployment, he had Jiang Feng and other experienced officers, so he could totally let it go.

"Young Marshal, I have just handed over the work to the manager here. There were more than 600 workers in the Meidongshan Iron Mine, half of whom were Japanese soldiers. These Japanese soldiers also participated in the battle just now, but were later wiped out, so there are only 300 miners left.

Previously, the monthly output of iron ore was about 350 tons. Now it is in a period of easy development. As long as there are enough equipment and manpower, the output can be increased a lot! "

"Okay, find a chance to talk to these miners. Just like before, those who are willing to stay will receive a salary of 1 yuan, and those who are willing to join our army will receive 2 yuan. Guo Diet will also bring people here in a few days, and then we will start working at full capacity!"

A moment later, Xu Le arrived at the mining area where some iron ore was stored.

Unlike the Zhaozhuang Iron Mine, which only transports iron here at regular intervals, this place is close to Pu County and has convenient transportation, so iron is transported as it is mined.

Something is better than nothing, Xu Le shouted in his heart:

"System, exchange these iron ores for military merit points!"

"Ding, the exchange is successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 8000 military merit points."

"It's just this little bit, but it's better than nothing!"

Xu Le looked at the trucks next to him, which should be loading ore and transporting it back to Pu County tomorrow.

"System, exchange these trucks for military merit points!"

"Ding, exchange successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining military merit points!"

There are only 5 trucks.

After finishing all this, Xu Le went to the temporary barracks to sleep.

He didn't want to ask too much about the army's affairs, he just needed to give a general plan. If he had to take care of all the details himself, then what would the officers in the army be for?

When he fell asleep, the guards set out, naturally to carry out the mission of sniping the Japanese commander.

Iron ore definitely provides the most comprehensive military merit points, but this takes time to accumulate.

The second is to directly plunder ready-made resources, such as directly exchanging the Japanese cannons and trucks. This is the fastest way to increase military merit points explosively.

The second thing is to kill Japanese officers. A Japanese brigade commander-level major general is worth 5 military merit points, which is equivalent to 10 Japanese trucks, or 50 tons of pig iron, or 100 tons of medium-quality iron ore.

Xu Le once thought that there were very few generals. If he killed a lieutenant general or a general, would the reward be more than that? He once asked the system, but the system did not give an answer.

...

In the early morning of August 8, the Japanese reinforcements from Pu County first arrived at the outskirts of the defensive position of the 11th Regiment in the mountain village. This was a force that was united from several strongholds around the county seat and the county defenders. Its strength was close to two battalions, but because it was not a reorganized battalion, its firepower was not strong.

When the Pu County devils finally received the request for support from Meidongshan, they only knew through the phone call that the firepower of this Tang Dynasty army was very strong, but they had no idea how strong it was.

In the eyes of the Japanese, the strength of the Tang Dynasty army was just so-so, so the Japanese in Pu County started attacking the mountain village without any planning.

The result is obvious. Zhao Zhuang's precise shooting scene was reproduced, and it was even more powerful.

Because now the SCR-536 walkie-talkie has been equipped in each squad, each infantry squad has 24-hour contact with a mortar, and even for those farther away, each platoon has contact with a gun in the artillery battalion.

The 27 infantry platoons correspond to the 27 guns of the artillery battalion, and the remaining 9 guns serve as cluster firepower.

For small targets, the squad leader can directly request artillery support, and mortars are on standby at all times.

Larger targets will be served by mountain artillery!

Larger targets, such as armored vehicles and tanks, will be covered by the firepower of a gun platoon or gun company.

As for individual targets, they are the responsibility of the precision shooters in each infantry squad, while the more difficult ones are the responsibility of the guards hidden on the battlefield.

The escort team was elusive. They might be hidden among the pile of corpses, in the trenches of the 176th Division, hiding in a distant commanding height, or even in the enemy's ranks.

It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the escort team has been refreshing the cognition of the officers and soldiers of the 176th Division.

Under such circumstances, half of the Japanese troops were killed or wounded within an hour. Finally, they were forced to implement a blockade and wait for support from the rest of the troops.

When the attack on the mountain village stopped, reinforcements from the Xiangning Japanese invaders in the direction of Baozidong also arrived. However, due to the previous experience of the Puxian Japanese invaders, the Xiangning Japanese invaders only surrounded the village from the outside and did not take any action. It seemed that they were also waiting for follow-up support.

"Young Marshal, things seem to be getting serious. We have received accurate information that the 114th Division was hit by our mines. After learning about the battle process in the mountain village, they have confirmed that we are Zhaozhuang's troops. The Japanese in Fencheng and Xinjiang are already moving to Linfen, and I'm afraid the entire 114th Division will be moving here soon!"
