Chapter 262: Dancing on the edge of a knife, every step is dangerous, war is everywhere

The night has not yet completely faded away, and a faint blue-gray color appears on the horizon, heralding the arrival of dawn.

General Shi, a veteran general, seemed extremely anxious at this moment.

His figure kept shuttling back and forth under the dim light, and every step revealed his deep concern about the battle situation on the front line.

The stone pavement in front of the door made a clattering sound from his footsteps, as if telling of the urgency and ruthlessness of time.

"No, things are changing on the front line every second, we can't afford to delay!"

Mr. Shi's voice was filled with unquestionable firmness. He suddenly stopped, clenched his hands into fists, and looked at the battlefield in the distance with a sharp gaze, as if he could penetrate the night.

After saying that, he pushed the door open forcefully.

The guard was anxious but helpless when he saw this. He could only bite the bullet and step forward to dissuade them. His voice was full of apology and anxiety:

"Boss, you also know the commander's physical condition. He just closed his eyes not long ago..."

Before he could finish his words, there was movement inside the door and the lights came on.

The chief's voice, though somewhat lazy and tired, still revealed a majesty that should not be underestimated: "Who is it?"

If a person with insomnia falls asleep under the influence of hypnotic drugs, the quality of his sleep is actually not good.

Medications may affect sleep architecture, particularly the ratio of REM to NREM sleep.

Medications often prolong non-REM sleep and shorten REM sleep, which can result in less dream time and dreams that are less rich or clear.

Although the medications may help you fall asleep, you may wake up feeling dizzy, weak, or uncomfortable because they do not provide the full benefits of normal sleep, such as the full recovery of deep sleep and the restoration of energy.

What's more, the leader only slept for about an hour.

The aftereffects of the drug had not yet completely dissipated when the chief woke up from a short sleep, his face showing some fatigue and discomfort caused by the side effects of the drug.

He rubbed his temples, trying to dispel the lingering feeling of drowsiness, but his eyes revealed the tenacity and determination of a leader.

I saw Mr. Shi standing in front of the door, about to push it open and enter. His face looked a little weathered under the light.

"Oh, Mr. Shi? Please come in!" He turned around and instructed the guards, "If Mr. Shi wants to see me in the future, don't stop him. Wake me up anytime."

"Okay." The guard replied softly.

Entering the house, the two men walked to the coal stove in tacit understanding, opened the wind shield, added a few pieces of coal, and the fire instantly became strong, dispelling the chill in the room and seeming to add a bit of warmth and strength to this late-night conversation.

"Commander, the military situation at the front line is urgent. I have no choice but to wake you up just when you fell asleep." There was a hint of apology in General Shi's voice, but more of it was worry and urgency about the battle situation.

The chief did not have the slightest intention of blaming Mr. Shi. Instead, with an almost silent understanding, he handed a cigarette to Mr. Shi and took one out of his pocket as well. The moment the two of them passed the cigarette, it seemed as if they had exchanged an unspoken understanding and support.

Then, the leader seemed to be looking for something, his fingers gently sliding between his pocket and the table, and finally he took out a match from an inconspicuous corner.

His eyes inadvertently swept across the coal stove, where a pale blue flame was dancing, weak but enough to illuminate everything around.

Seeing this, the leader smiled slightly, as if approving of the small flame, then gently put the match back to its original place and lit the cigarette in his hand with the ready-made fire.

This action inadvertently revealed the leader's frugal and simple lifestyle.

You have to know that in the liberated areas at that time, matches and even more advanced lighters had already been popularized and were affordable, and did not constitute a burden for most people.

However, for the leader, even for such insignificant consumables, he is used to calculating carefully and striving to make the most effective use of every resource.

What is even more admirable is that the leader still retains an ancient and simple habit - when striking a match, he only uses the phosphorus side of the matchbox. The remaining matchbox can be easily recycled.

What's more, when he learned that the match factory had defective bulk matches for sale at a price as low as five cents a pound, the leader did not hesitate to ask his guards to go and buy a few pounds.

This move not only reflects his pursuit of maximizing the utilization of materials, but also demonstrates his foresight and simple feelings as a leader.

Under his leadership, the entire anti-Japanese army was permeated with a good atmosphere of thrift and hard work.

"Tell me about the situation of the regiment. You came here overnight, so there must be something important." The chief's voice was steady and powerful, bringing the topic back to the main point.

Upon hearing this, General Shi immediately calmed down and began to report in detail the battle situation on the front line and the predicament of the regiment.

"The First Regiment, as a sharp sword in our hands, with its heavily armed synthetic organization, has demonstrated amazing tactical mobility on the battlefield.

They are like cheetahs on the grassland, able to cross hundreds of kilometers in a flash and pose a deadly threat to the enemy.

However, facing the strategic location of Shimen, our challenges are far greater than ever before."

Boss Shi paused, looked into the distance with deep eyes, and seemed to be sketching out complex battlefield scenes in his mind.

"The Battle of Shimen was not only a test of our fighting spirit, but also an extreme challenge to our logistics support and road accessibility.

The areas of Hebei and Henan have long been shrouded in the shadow of the enemy. Although our comrades are brave and fearless and continue to destroy the enemy's transportation lines, this also makes the already rugged and difficult roads even worse. "

There was a mixture of helplessness and determination in his tone. "If a group wants to maneuver quickly in such an environment, it is like dancing on the edge of a knife. Every step needs to be taken carefully. If you are not careful, you will be doomed."

When talking about the equipment status of the regiment, General Shi's eyes became more serious.

“In the battle of Beast Extermination Valley, although the First Regiment acted bravely and inflicted heavy damage on the enemy, the price was also painful.

Tanks and armored vehicles, these steel behemoths, suffered huge damage from continuous extreme operations.

Some of them were hit by multiple bullets and were covered with scars; others were almost destroyed by the enemy's crazy suicide bombing. These steel warriors also need to take a break and repair themselves. "

“And our soldiers, they are the most valuable asset in this war.

The continuous fighting had already exhausted them both physically and mentally. Although there was still an unyielding light in their eyes, the fatigue could not be concealed no matter what.

They are true heroes and deserve the respect and care of all of us.

At this moment, they need adequate rest and recovery to fight again tomorrow."

At this point, Mr. Shi's voice trembled slightly, but then became firm again.

“Therefore, we must make wise decisions, taking into account the current battle situation and laying a solid foundation for long-term victory.

The group needs rest and replenishment, and more importantly, it needs the care and support of all of us.”

The chief sat on the slightly old wooden chair with a calm expression, like a mountain about to face a storm.

The cigarette in his hand burned slowly, releasing wisps of green smoke that blended with the solemn atmosphere in the room.

Every puff of cigarette is like drawing a bit of calmness and strength from deep thought.

As he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, the smoke slowly dispersed in the air, seeming to take away some of the worries in his heart, but more importantly, it made the severity of the problem more clearly outlined.

The chief's eyes pierced through the swirling smoke and looked into the distance, where was the war-torn northeastern Shanxi and the threat of the enemy pressing forward step by step.

"After the Japanese occupied Yu County, they did not stop there, but continued to move westward." The chief's voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the two men, making it impossible to ignore the imminent crisis.

"Our military strength in the north is already stretched thin, and now it's even worse. If we don't take timely measures to make this enemy withdraw, the consequences will be disastrous."

At this point, the commander shook his head slightly, revealing a bit of helplessness and urgency. He knew that the situation was much more complicated than it seemed, and every decision could affect the direction of the entire battle.

"Now, not only the regiment, but all the troops in northeastern Shanxi need to rest. They have been fighting bloody battles for days and are already exhausted."

The commander took another puff of cigarette and then slowly exhaled, as if he was using this action to calm his inner turmoil. He knew very well that as a commander, he must remain calm and rational in order to lead the troops out of the predicament and welcome the final victory.
