Chapter 675 Lessons from the Past
The 75 field guns at Emerald River immediately replaced their bombs with incendiary shells.
Although the artillery did not know the exact location of the Japanese at this time.
But they were quite clear about the position in front of this front line.
Moreover, General Yuan had already formulated some combat plans for the artillery.
Once the Japanese use smoke bombs, incendiary bombs, and poison gas bombs to attack, making it impossible for the artillery to observe the enemy's situation, there will be a plan of incendiary bombing, using the flames of incendiary bombs to block the Japanese advance.
The artillery coordinates and firing parameters of this plan are already fixed.
Soon, a series of incendiary bombs exploded at these locations.
Although the flames and shock waves from the explosion could not kill the Japanese, the flames and smoke left by the incendiary bombs prevented the Japanese from continuing to charge forward.
The angry Japanese stopped where they were and cursed.
Jiang Pu Daye, who was far behind, was looking at the situation here with a telescope, and was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Bakayaloo, damn the Allied Forces, Bakayaloo!"
"Someone, notify the artillery to use poison gas bombs!"
The Japanese artillery immediately used poison gas bombs.
Fortunately, the previous marshal seized a lot of gas masks.
Although the poison gas bomb exploded at the Emerald River base.
But because of the gas masks, although the Allied forces suffered some casualties, they were not very large.
The fighting here is in full swing.
The sound of gunfire could be faintly heard in Zhacheng.
Yuan Shuai's scouts discovered the situation and quickly reported it to Yuan Shuai via radio.
General Yuan immediately called a meeting of officers.
At the meeting, many officers suggested quick support.
However, some officers felt that since the Emerald River Base did not request support from them, they should remain in place.
Some people also felt that the Japanese might be waiting for them on the road.
Moreover, the Japanese artillery fire was too strong, with 75 field guns and 105 howitzers.
If we want to go over to provide support, we will definitely pay a heavy price. It would be better to let the Emerald River Base use its strong fortifications to hold on. It will not be too late to attack when the Japanese artillery shells are almost used up.
However, Li Rong suddenly said.
"According to reliable information, the Emerald River Base has now been occupied by Zhong Teng."
These words made everyone look shocked.
Because General Yuan appointed British Army Hami melon to be in charge of the Emerald River Base.
If Zhong Teng occupied the Emerald River, then that means a mutiny had occurred.
After hearing this, all the officers refused to provide support.
Although Yuan Shuai didn't say anything, he was secretly happy in his heart.
He had long anticipated that Zhong Teng would definitely mutiny, so he deliberately took his men away to give him the opportunity to mutiny.
At the same time, all the gold was transported to the city.
If the gold was transported to the Emerald River and Zhong Teng rebelled, he would suffer a great loss.
The two of them now, although Zhong Teng has occupied the jade industry of the Jade River Base, the price of jade is not high, and is also being suppressed.
Now they are being attacked by the devils.
Although Zhong Teng can withstand the Japanese attack for a while, their ammunition will definitely become less and less.
At that time, they will definitely come to ask me for military support.
He could only follow the advice of his generals and keep his troops in place, while sending people out to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the enemy to understand the specific situation of the Japs first.
The meeting dispersed.
Yuan Shuai kept Hu Dacai and others.
"Boss, you're not going to ask me to do a decapitation mission, are you?"
"This guy Zhong Teng deserves to be beaten by the Japanese. Let them beat him for a while!"
"That's right. When his ammunition, food, and medicines are almost used up, he will definitely ask us for support! Then we will have the conditions for negotiation!"
Before Yuan Shuai could speak, Hu Dacai and others put forward their ideas.
At this time, they are all veterans and have their own opinions on various battle situations.
Yuan Shuai said with a smile.
"You are right. This is not the time to take action. They haven't even come looking for us. If we take action, we will only be asking for trouble. If we fall into an ambush by the Japanese, we will be laughed at! But..."
Yuan Shuai paused for a moment and continued.
"Emerald River Base has had mutinies, aren't you worried that the same thing will happen to Zhacheng? We must learn from the past and not let this happen again!"
Just one sentence made all the brothers of the Black Wolf Army break out in cold sweat.
Hu Dacai nodded silently.
"Boss is right. We have overlooked this point!"
"If he dares, whoever dares to mutiny, I will kill him first!"
Little Sweet Potato gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Keep your voice down. They might be discussing this matter right now!"
"That's right. If we attack with all our strength, then Zhacheng will be left with a lack of troops. Once they mutinied, not only would we not have any reinforcements, but we would even be attacked from both sides by them and the Japanese!"
"So, we must first check the situation of the city!"
"Once you find anyone suspected of mutiny, kill him immediately!"
"Don't rush to act. Collect intelligence and evidence first. They are definitely not just one person, but a group of people..."
Yuan Shuai discussed with his brothers and arranged many spies in the county.
After all, they are rich now, and money makes the world go round. As long as money is used, there is no problem that cannot be solved.
Soon, Yuan Shuai and others used money to bribe many shop owners, waiters, etc. to serve as their spies.
Soon, these people provided them with a lot of information because they received money.
In the evening, the group gathered together to summarize the information they had collected.
As a result, they discovered that among these people, there were several officers of the Allied Forces, several business owners, and even Captain Li Rong and Manager Li Huo were present.
In particular, several business owners belonging to the Li family were present.
"Damn it, most of them are from the Li family!"
"It seems that the mastermind behind this incident is the Li family!"
"Boss, otherwise kill Brother Li Rong!"
Hu Dacai made a suggestion, and Fu Yidao and others immediately nodded in agreement.
Yuan Shuai just kept shaking his head.
"I also want to kill them, but the Li family has a very high prestige in Zhacheng. Not only in Zhacheng, but also in several surrounding counties, banks are owned by the Li family! Grain stores, restaurants, clothing factories, and many other businesses are in the hands of the Li family!"
"Boss, I heard that the reason why the Li family has so many businesses is that they annexed other people's businesses before, so these bastards in the Li family are nothing!"
Hu Dacai made another suggestion.
"That's right, but now is not the time to touch them! Think about it carefully! Plan it out carefully!"
Yuan Shuai closed his eyes and began to think.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
After failing to capture the Emerald River base, the Japanese gave up the attack and mobilized a large number of bullets and artillery shells from the rear to the position.
