Chapter 266: The Battle of Nanchang (18) (3rd Update)
Good guys, you're still alive! ”
On the west bank of the Fuhe River, when he saw Li Jichang appear in front of him with a few people, Wang Guangming couldn't help but rush over, came with a bear hug, and then couldn't help but punch the other party.
Obviously, Wang Guangming is still a little excited that Li Jichang is still alive.
For more than ten days, Li Jichang lost contact with them for more than ten days, and many people thought he was dead, but they didn't expect him to be alive and well, but the whole person lost a lot of weight.
Truth be told, he's curious about what he's been through these days.
"You're not happy I'm alive?" Li Jichang said with a smile.
"How is that possible? When this battle is over, I will invite you to drink and go, and make a fortune during this time. "Wang Guangming's fortune is naturally the looting of the traitors' family property.
With Wang Guangming's identity, he can also get some, which is enough for him to squander for a while.
"Then I'm going to have to slaughter you!"
At this time, Leng Jie also came over, Li Jichang hurriedly ended his joke with Wang Guangming, trotted in front of Leng Jie, saluted, and said loudly, "Report to the commander, Li Jichang, deputy commander of the third battalion, came to report." ”
"It's good to survive!" Leng Jie patted the other party's shoulder and said seriously.
At this time, the roar of airplanes was heard in the sky.
Hearing this voice, the soldiers of the 120th Regiment suddenly became nervous.
"Devil plane, air strike!"
"Air raids! Dodge! ”
Hearing the air raid, these soldiers looked for obstacles to dodge nearby, but if they couldn't find them, they lay on the ground.
Including Leng Jie also hid in a nearby building.
But I waited for a while, but I didn't wait for the sound of the explosion.
Leng Jie stretched his head out, looked up, and saw white waves appear in the sky to the south of them.
"It's an airdrop!" Chen Wei came to the front and said.
"It seems that the retreat of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army has been cut off, otherwise the Japanese army would not have airdropped supplies." Leng Jie analyzed.
"So what now? With ammunition replenishment, it will not be easy for us to defeat the Japanese army in front of us. Chen Wei worried.
"That's what the commanders should worry about, we are a regiment, what do we care about? But good things still have a share in those who see them! Leng Jie couldn't help but smile as he looked at those airdrops.
"Commander, you're not going to grab these supplies, are you? That's in the camp of the Japanese army! Chen Wei was really afraid that he would be too bold as a chief, and he would be impulsive in order to order supplies.
"Am I that stupid? Why grab it? I'm going to let the Japanese planes take the initiative to drop it for me! Leng Jie said with a smile.
"Sir, what do you mean?" Chen Wei was a little puzzled.
Leng Jie did not explain, but called the commander of the first battalion, Daniel Zhang, "Daniel Zhang, take your people and go and take off those dead devil uniforms." And go to find out if there are any good devil flags, pick them up for me, I'll be useful! ”
Grab the airdrop?
How can you send your own flare gun and let the airdrop come by itself!
Seeing the soldiers of the battalion who were ordered to put on the uniforms of the Japanese army, Chen Wei seemed to know what Leng Jie wanted to do.
Leng Jie didn't think about the airdrop on April 9, but on April 10, several transport planes of the Japanese army dropped the airdrop in the occupied area of Leng Jie's department.
Seeing that the Imperial transport planes dropped weapons and ammunition on the territory of the Chinese army, Ito was so angry that Masaki Ito scolded at his division headquarters.
But Leng Jie is very excited here, the devil's airdrop is a lot of good things.
"Captain, it's all good!" Daniel Zhang ran over excitedly.
"What's all good?" Leng Jie asked.
He also saw that the Japanese army dropped a lot of things, and the Japanese army came with a total of seven transport planes, three of which were dropped in his defense area.
There was no way, a group of 'Japanese soldiers' wearing Japanese military uniforms and holding Japanese military flags, the Japanese pilots in the sky naturally voted.
"20 light machine guns, 12 heavy machine guns, 12 grenadiers, 8 mortars, 30 boxes of shells, 10 boxes of grenades and more than 200,000 rounds of ammunition...
"So many goodies?" Leng Jie was a little surprised.
For rifles, there is no shortage of the Japanese army now, and neither is Leng Jie.
Originally, his regiment was also short of rifles at the beginning, but now there is no shortage of rifles, and with the captured rifles, there must be 4,000 rifles.
If you want more, you can equip an ordinary infantry division.
However, the weapons are very miscellaneous, there are domestic Chinese formal rifles, and there are also Japanese-style rifles, but at this time the domestic rifles are basically out of ammunition.
"It's a pity that there are no infantry guns or anything like that, and there are a few bullets. How nice it would be if the devil airdropped a few infantry guns! ”
Among these shells, there are also shells for infantry guns, apparently so that the 101st Division has a certain artillery counterattack capability.
"What do you think? It would be nice to have! Leng Jie didn't have a good airway, "Divide all the bullets." Heavy machine guns are given to your battalion of three, the rest to the 2nd and 3rd battalions, and the light machine guns also need to meet the 2nd and 3rd battalions. ”
It's not that Leng Jie didn't take care of the 1st battalion, but in the previous battles, the 2nd and 3rd battalions suffered great losses, as did light and heavy machine guns.
Although a lot of them were seized, they still couldn't make up for the gap, and it just so happened that the devil sent weapons to make up for them.
It seems that this matter of pretending to be a Japanese army to deceive the airdrop has to be continued.
It is estimated that today the Japanese air force will realize that it was wrong, and tomorrow it seems that it will have to change places to see how much it can deceive.
"Captain!"
At this time, a staff officer ran over and saluted.
"Say!"
"Regiment commander, the division headquarters is calling, hoping that our department can launch an attack on the Japanese army after dark!"
"What's going on? How can we go on the offensive? Aren't there 26 divisions and 79 divisions? And the 32nd division of the 16th Army is also about to arrive on the battlefield. Leng Jie was a little puzzled.
The 40th Division suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle, so Leng Jie's side was ordered to take a temporary break after recovering part of the position on the west bank of the Fuhe River, but he didn't expect that it would be put into battle in just half a day.
"The division headquarters called, saying that the 79th Division was defeated by the Japanese army, and a regiment commander escaped from the battle, resulting in the entire division being routed by the Japanese army and suffering heavy losses.
The division headquarters hoped that our unit could launch an attack from the west flank and share the pressure. ”
Leng Jie didn't expect that the 79th Division, as a division that had just been reinforced, was defeated by the Japanese army in just one and a half days, and there was even a regiment commander who escaped from the battle.
What he didn't know was that the head of the regiment who escaped was still a student of the fourth phase of Whampoa, and there was no need to think about it, the outcome would not be good.
The generals of the first phase of Whampoa were shot twice, let alone one of the fourth phase of Whampoa.
"Deputy Regiment Commander Chen, order the troops to assemble, have lunch as soon as possible, and then have a good rest and prepare for the battle at night!" Leng Jie called Chen Wei and commanded.
"Yes, Commander, I'll deliver it right away!" Chen Wei nodded.
"By the way, how is our artillery doing now?" Leng Jie asked suddenly.
"There are two 75mm mountain guns and four 92 infantry guns left, and there is still a lot of ammunition left. By the way, we also captured three tanks! ”
"Tanks? When was it seized? How did I not know? Leng Jie wondered.
