Chapter 266: Two Artillery Battalions
I was really surrounded.
Outflanked from the north and south banks of the Wuma River were more than 1,000 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army from the artillery battalion directly under the 386 Brigade and the artillery battalion of the Independent Regiment.
A large number of people in Wuyang.
And thousands of mules and horses!
The horses were neighing, and the battle was terrifying!
Moreover, these more than a thousand artillery soldiers did not change the military uniform of the puppet army.
The reason is simple, because they carry a large number of livestock.
With so many livestock, pretending to be a puppet army can't deceive the devil at all.
After receiving the order from the brigade commander, Ding Guoliang, commander of the artillery battalion, sent a messenger to regroup several artillery companies scattered in several nearby villages.
Then he drove the mules, horses and cattle back to the village of Liumen to retrieve all the artillery.
When he walked halfway up, he met the artillery battalion led by Yu Chengzhu.
So the two artillery battalions joined forces and outflanked them from the north and south banks of the Uma River.
Arrived at the right time, in the midst of the lights, I happened to see a group of plainclothes mountain guns, infantry guns, and rapid-fire guns that they had pushed into the Uma River to hide before salvage.
Although the fake cannon made of wood can be real, if the real cannon is still carried with the army, it still can't hide from the eyes and ears of the devil, so the two artillery battalions took advantage of the night to push all the rapid-fire guns, infantry guns and mountain guns into the Uma River to hide before the "division of troops".
The devil actually doubted this.
It's just that there are too many rivers and water bodies along the way of the Eighth Route Army.
So after a search by the gendarmerie and the puppet army, they gave up.
Only Inukai Jiro, a brainless man, persevered, and finally let him find the hiding place.
However, it was too late, and by the time they found it, the two artillery battalions of the 386 Brigade had already returned.
Seeing that a plainclothes team was salvaging artillery, Ding Guoliang and Yu Chengzhu immediately launched an attack with their troops.
Although the two artillery battalions were only equipped with 6 machine guns and rifles, they still had an overwhelming firepower advantage in the face of more than a dozen devil agents and dozens of plainclothes teams.
Within a moment of the exchange of fire, more than a dozen devil agents and dozens of plainclothes teams were killed, and only Inukai Jiro and a few plainclothes teams jumped into the river and disappeared.
Ding Guoliang fired a few shots at the river, and shouted: "Stop shooting, hurry up and salvage the artillery!" ”
Almost at the same time, the artillery of the independent regiment on the opposite side also stopped firing, and then a dozen sturdy artillerymen jumped into the river with hemp ropes the thickness of their arms.
Then tie the twine to the cannon parts in the river.
Then drive the mules and horses to pull the artillery parts ashore.
This time, after pulling the parts of the artillery to the shore, they were no longer scattered and transported, but were assembled directly on the spot.
The reason is very simple, because it is less than 100 miles away from Taiyuan, and the road is flat, so it can be assembled in advance and then marched by mule horses.
In this way, you can go into battle anytime, anywhere.
You don't have to wait until you need it to be used and then assemble it on the fly, which will delay things.
In less than half an hour, the 5 75mm mountain guns and 7 92 infantry guns of the 386 Brigade Artillery Battalion were all assembled.
Ding Guoliang has also been poor for a long time, and he wants to show off.
So Battalion Commander Ding asked his two mortar companies, a mountain artillery company, and an infantry artillery company to line up all the equipment along the north bank of the Wuma River.
Soon, 5 75 mountain guns, 7 92 infantry guns, and 12 mortars were lined up.
Looking at the barrels of mountain artillery and infantry artillery pointing straight at the night sky, Battalion Commander Ding was in a beautiful mood, and he didn't forget to whistle at the south bank proudly.
Lao Tzu is a brigade artillery battalion in the end!
……
"Battalion commander, look at the north shore!"
An artilleryman said, pointing to the north shore.
"What's wrong?" Yu Chengzhu had just assembled a mountain cannon, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the north bank.
Then he saw the cannon in the firelight, and he also saw Ding Guoliang standing in front of the cannon, and whistled at him.
Yu Chengzhu became popular all of a sudden.
Who is not the battalion commander?
Putting Lao Tzu to show off?
This is called being uncomfortable with intention, can't you make it?
At that moment, Yu Chengzhu turned around and yelled: "Brothers, show everyone to Lao Tzu!" ”
Under Yu Chengzhu's order, the artillery battalion's two mountain artillery companies, one rapid-fire artillery company and one mortar company pushed all the artillery to the river.
……
Ding Guoliang, the tears of the battalion commander flowed down.
Damn, people have to die more than people, goods have to be thrown away, and the artillery battalion of the independent regiment is much wider than him.
But I saw that the artillery battalion of the Independent Regiment alone had as many as 11 75mm mountain guns, and they were lined up by the river on the south bank of the Wuma River, not to mention how damn majestic.
Behind these 11 75mm mountain guns, there were 8 more 90mm mortars.
It's not over yet, behind that row of 8 90mm mortars, there are rapid-fire guns.
5 37mm rapid-fire guns were lined up in the firelight, and the small but delicate gun body made the battalion commander Ding drool, this is a good thing!
Fighting devil tanks is a dozen!
Looking back at the artillery battalion under his command, Battalion Commander Ding's mood suddenly became not beautiful.
Seriously, Battalion Commander Ding's artillery battalion is actually much stronger than before, and his artillery battalion used to have only one mortar company and one infantry artillery company.
In total, there were only 4 82mm mortars and 2 92 infantry guns.
Now his artillery battalion has 8 81 mortars, 4 82 mortars, 7 92 infantry guns and 5 75 mountain guns, and the firepower is much more fierce than before.
But everything is afraid to compare, not to compare.
Compared with the artillery battalion of the independent regiment, it immediately became a turtle.
Just as the brigade commander arrived with the communications company, Battalion Commander Ding began to complain bitterly.
Ding Guoliang stretched out his hand and pointed to the south river of the Wuma River, and said with a bitter face: "Brigade commander, take a look, look at Yu Chengzhu, is this what people do?" ”
"Brigade commander, he didn't slap me in the face."
"He's slapping the brigade commander in your face!"
"I don't know, I thought he was the 386 Brigade Artillery Battalion!"
The brigade commander also saw the equipment of the artillery battalion of the Independent Regiment on the south bank of the Uma River, and his heart was also very angry.
At that moment, the brigade commander said fiercely: "Lao Ding, don't worry, the huge Taiyuan City, where the headquarters of the Japanese army in Shanxi is located, there is no other equipment, and the artillery can be missing?" ”
"When Taiyuan City is defeated, Lao Tzu will let you be the head of the regiment!"
"Damn, our 386 Brigade should also make trouble with an artillery regiment!"
"Brigadier Commander, are you serious?" Ding Guoliang's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Of course it's true!" The brigade commander said, "When have I ever joked with you?" ”
Ding Guoliang immediately grinned, as if the artillery equipment of that regiment had already arrived in his hands.
Then he turned around and waved his fist at Yu Chengzhu on the south bank, and thought viciously, turn around and let you take a look at the grandeur of the artillery commander, hum!
