Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

She had never thought about such questions in the Independent Brigade. The biggest worry in her heart was the endless fight with Mingyue.

At first, she wanted to get rid of Mingyue to prevent future troubles, but now, after experiencing so many ups and downs, the two of them have already formed a deep comradeship.

It was not until the commander of the 42nd Division pointed it out to her that she suddenly realized: "It turns out that we are not like-minded people!" This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and it made her sober up instantly.

In the following days, the armies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party continued to discuss the strategy and route of the attack. The generals of both sides racked their brains to try to find the best breakthrough plan in order to win the war.

Every strategic meeting is filled with a tense and heated discussion atmosphere, with various opinions and suggestions intertwined and colliding, just to find the smooth road to victory.

The commander of the 115nd Division apparently intended to use his own powerful artillery force and wait for the rest of the th Division to launch an offensive before taking action.

As soon as this plan was proposed, it was rejected by several regimental commanders of the 115th Division.

No one is a fool. Isn't this a vivid portrayal of the Kuomintang's strategy of "sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight"? As a time traveler, Shadan instantly understood the mystery.

After all, he has watched countless dramas! Whether it is "My Brother is Shunliu" or "My Captain, My Regiment" and many other film and television works, all of them portray the Kuomintang's mentality of trying to sit back and enjoy the benefits of others and watch the fire from the other side of the river.

Because of this, whenever the commander of the 42nd Division mentioned this matter, Shadan would always refuse without hesitation.

If you want to fight, then fight. You can lead the Kuomintang army to fight on your own. But if you want to implicate the 115th Division, I'm sorry, this so-called cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has come to an end. Let's all go our separate ways and go home!

If it really comes to a last resort, even if the 115th Division attacks Datong alone, such cooperation is really disheartening and extremely disappointing.

In the end, they naturally parted ways.

Immediately afterwards, the commander of the 115nd Division reported to his superiors, and the reason was very simple, that is, the other units of the th Division were not cooperating.

Who can tolerate destroying the noble cause of the KMT-CPC cooperation and oppressing others?

Finally, under the instructions of the superiors, the five regiments of the 115th Division and the independent brigade must facilitate this cooperation under selective conditions.

When Shadan saw this telegram, he was almost so angry that he cursed.

The Kuomintang was completely suppressing them by threatening to destroy the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party if they did not obey their orders.

The key point is that the public opinion is now in the hands of the Kuomintang, and the people don’t know about it.

Reading newspapers and watching various broadcasts, you will see that they all say bad things about the Communist Party. Over time, people's mass psychology will start to have opinions about the Communist Party.

It is difficult to accomplish something, but it is easy to ruin it.

The Kuomintang uses this as a token.

"It was pointless to talk about cooperation with them in the first place. Cooperation is ridiculous."

All the cadres of the independent brigade gathered together to discuss the matter, and many of them started cursing.

Lin Yu, who was from the Kuomintang, sat there silently.

What could she say? Everyone was furious and indignant now. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. She might as well remain silent.

Finally, after another discussion, it was agreed that the 115nd Division, which had a large number of artillery pieces, would serve as a reserve force to support the attack of the five regiments and the independent brigade of the th Division.

Even if there were idiots who were unwilling, it would be useless. They simply took over the mission of the main attack and then started asking the Kuomintang for equipment and ammunition.

"Since I am the main attacker, you guys should provide some ammunition. I won't do it if I don't have enough. I don't want to be a beggar. Have you given it to me?"

When the commander of the 42nd Division learned that the independent brigade would be responsible for the main attack, for some unknown reason he gave him a large amount of ammunition.

They were given 500,000 bullets and 10,000 artillery shells, all of which were small-caliber shells.

After all, the Kuomintang could not produce large-caliber artillery shells, and even if they wanted to buy them, there was nowhere to buy them.

This time, Shadan was no match for him. His disposable space contained the equipment of two divisions of the Japanese invaders.

The ammunition reached two million bullets and one hundred thousand artillery shells, of various calibers.

This time I just took out everything and said goodbye to the disposable space completely.

Then they began to mobilize the surrounding people to help, they didn't need to go to the battlefield, they just needed to help transport things.

In order to get these common people to contribute, Lin Yu directly took out the 10,000 pieces of clothing he had obtained as a reward to get these common people to contribute. After all, there was not only a base area here, but also areas where the Japanese, puppet and diehard troops were intertwined.

The composition of the masses here is extremely complex. Today the Japanese army came, and the day after tomorrow they were driven away and replaced by puppet troops, and finally by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. In short, all kinds of troops came, so these masses would do anything as long as they were given benefits.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the order.

Each of the five regiments of the independent brigade has a reinforced artillery battalion, all equipped with large-caliber artillery.

As for small-caliber artillery, they are used at the company and platoon levels.

Since our independent brigade is the main force, we have the final say.

Several important strategic locations were set up around Datong, and this position was given to the Fifth Regiment.

The first regiment attacked directly towards Datongli, and the second regiment followed closely behind.

The third and fourth regiments were responsible for blocking reinforcements.

As for why the other regiments of the 115th Division are not included.

Because this is the first large-scale offensive, Shadan doesn't want to lose the money they have saved up with great difficulty.

Don't forget, Shadan is a person with a golden finger.

As thousands of cannons roared, the attack order was given and began.

The regiments of the independent brigade launched a fierce attack on the enemy.

The reinforced heavy artillery battalions of each regiment took action, which not only shocked the other regiments of the 115th Division, but even the nd Division.

Especially the commander of the 42nd Division, who kept mumbling something. If anyone listened carefully, they would hear "This is not a kid at all, this is simply a natural strategic commander. He has grown from a small county brigade to the current independent brigade, and he has so much equipment, this..."

Just as he was sighing, the 1st Regiment of the Independent Brigade successfully broke through Datong's defense line and entered the urban area.

However, the Japanese troops in Datong City fought desperately and the war was extremely fierce.

When Shadan saw this, he immediately ordered the second regiment to follow up and fight together.

The strongest regiments of the two independent brigades worked together, and with the help of the heroic troops sent by the brigade commander, they fought to the death, making the Japanese cry for their parents.

Mingyue led the five regiments to seize major strategic locations. She herself fought bravely and engaged in a desperate struggle with the enemy.

During the fierce fighting, the 5th Regiment discovered the Japanese army's coal warehouse.

Mingyue acted decisively and decided to take people to blow up the warehouse and arrange for the rest of the people to move things. This not only destroyed the resource supply of the Japanese army, but also enriched the independent brigade.

After moving the things, they cleverly placed explosives and successfully detonated the warehouse, causing a huge explosion.

With the bombing of the coal warehouse, the morale of the Japanese army suffered a severe blow.

After all, the Japanese devils still have some sense of responsibility. If any place is lost, the commander of that place will be required to commit suicide by disembowelment.

The independent brigade took advantage of the situation to launch a general offensive and eventually captured Datong in one fell swoop.

At this time, the commander of the 42nd Division could no longer sit still, and quickly sent troops into Datong City to grab supplies.

Then he personally invited the commander of the independent brigade, Comrade Shadan, to visit his command post.

The idiot who was giving the command was stunned when he heard the news.

Now is the time to set up defenses to prevent enemy counterattacks, but the Kuomintang people are actually doing this.

What is there to talk about?

It seems that the Kuomintang used every possible means to grab supplies.

In a solemnly decorated reception room, the commander of the 42nd Division sat behind an exquisite mahogany table, opposite him were Shadan and Mingyue.

Shadan did not bring Lin Yu with him, but brought Mingyue who knows martial arts, because he was afraid of accidents.

The 42nd Division Commander's eyes revealed his admiration for Shadan, and his tone was sincere and enthusiastic.

The commander of the 42nd Division was the first to break the silence: "Comrade Shadan, I have long heard of your great name. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation. Your achievements and courage are legendary in our army."

Shadan scratched his head a little embarrassedly, his voice still bold: "Master, you are too kind. I just did what I should do."

The division commander retorted: "Comrade Shadan is not only brave, but also thoughtful. He is the soul of our joint campaign."

After the 42nd Division Commander finished talking about Silly Egg, he turned his gaze to Mingyue: "Captain Mingyue is also both wise and brave. The cooperation between the two of you is exemplary."

The two of them felt embarrassed after hearing what they said.

Then, the commander of the 42nd Division changed the subject and made an unexpected proposal: "Comrade Shadan, I wonder if you have ever considered joining our 42nd Division? We have many like-minded comrades here, and our common goal is to defend the country and protect the people."

Shadan was silent for a while, his eyes firm: "Thank you for your kindness, but my team and I are used to fighting side by side. We have the same goal, which is to protect the peace of the country."

The 42nd Division Commander nodded in understanding: "I understand, I am just expressing my wishes. However, if there is a chance for cooperation in the future, I hope you will consider it."

Mingyue also expressed her support: "We are honored to be appreciated by our teachers. If there is any need, we are always willing to cooperate."

The conversation between the three was full of respect and understanding. Although Shadan declined the offer, they all ended the conversation in a peaceful atmosphere.

Because it has to end now, the enemy reinforcements have arrived.

"Report to the division commander, the enemy has sent a regiment from each of the four directions to Datong. One of the regiments is the Japanese, and it is about to engage in direct combat with the 42nd Division."

The commander of the 42nd Division was so frightened when he heard this that he almost fell to the ground. He no longer wanted to win over Shadan, because the enemy was coming from the direction of the 42nd Division.

If no action is taken, the entire army will probably be wiped out.

In the eyes of the Kuomintang people, a Japanese regiment could easily defeat a Kuomintang division. This is an indisputable fact and is well documented.
