In the evening, the dusty Second Heavy Artillery Wing finally arrived at Daliangzhuang, less than a hundred kilometers away is nothing for the average infantry, even if it is a matter of a day or two to walk, but for the Second Heavy Artillery Wing carrying dozens of tons of heavy artillery marching this hundred kilometers is like the distance between heaven and earth, walking for three days, and there are constantly problems in the middle, and the soldiers of the entire Second Heavy Artillery Wing are almost tired and lose several pounds before they arrive at the destination. It can be imagined how bad Hashimoto Masateng was at this time.

"Squeak......

The black Toyota sedan made a screeching noise, and the car stopped in front of a courtyard, and the commander of the second wing of the heavy artillery Koji Kameda, who had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, stepped forward and opened the door.

The car door opened, and Hashimoto, who was covered in dust, walked down. Koji Kameda saluted him and said loudly: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, welcome to your arrival, Commander Gu Shoufu has been waiting for you inside for a long time!" ”

Hashimoto Masateng looked at Koji Kameda, who was neat and tidy, and then looked at himself covered in dust, and asked lightly with a cold snort: "His shelves are quite large." ”

"Ah......h

Kameda Koji was stunned at first, and then embarrassed, it seems that his brigade commander has an opinion that General Tani Shofu did not come out to greet him in person, but he is just a big sa, how can he be involved in the matter between a major general and a lieutenant general.

After Hashimoto Masatatsu finished speaking, he turned to the two big ones behind him and said: "Ogasawara-kun and Hamaguchi-kun, although I know that you are also working hard, but I still have to trouble you to prepare immediately and arrange the defensive positions of the troops, you must know that this is the territory of the Zhina, let's be careful!" ”

"Hay!" The two people behind him bowed in unison and were about to turn away.

"Hashimoto-kun, why didn't you come in when you arrived, didn't you dislike me for not greeting me well enough?" Just as the two were about to leave. A gruff voice rang out in the doorway.

When Hashimoto looked back, he saw a short and meaty lieutenant general in his forties striding away, this person was none other than the commander of the Sixth Division, Toshio Tani.

It stands to reason that seeing Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu come over in person, Hashimoto Masateng should feel flattered by the fact that he should be flattered, but the muscles on Hashimoto Masateng just moved: "Gu Shoujun, I didn't expect you to greet me in person, I was really flattered!" ”

Gu Shoufu laughed: "Hahahaha...... Hashimoto-kun was able to personally lead the 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade to help, this is the honor of our 6th Division, how can I, as the commander of the division, not personally come out to greet him! ”

Hashimoto said with a smile on his cheek, "Oh." In this way, we really have to thank Gu Shou-kun, but we have just arrived, and the troops have not yet had time to deploy, so I have to let Ogasawara-kun and Hamaguchi-kun settle down the troops first to feel Gu Shou-kun's kindness. ”

Gu Shoufu couldn't help but say and grabbed Hashimoto Masato's wrist and said, "Eh...... Anyway, I'm also the master here, you don't have to worry about anything when you come, now the people of China have been beaten by us and retreated, according to the cowardly nature of the people of China, it is too late to run, how dare you come to us for trouble. Come on...... I've got the best sake from Tokyo, Hashimoto-kun. You, Ogasawara-kun and Hamaguchi-kun have come all the way to work hard, so let's take a shower first, and then we'll get drunk again. ”

"I ......"

Hashimoto Masataku, who was grabbed by the wrist, couldn't help but smile bitterly, although he really didn't think much of the guy Tani Shoufu. But since people have put on this hospitable appearance, if he still refuses, he will really have to turn his face with the other party.

Soon, Hashimoto Masateng and his party were welcomed into the courtyard and began to wash and change clothes, and after more than half an hour, the three of them came out again. The spacious room was already full of banquets, and Gu Shoufu was already sitting on the side waiting for them.

Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the wine table, Hashimoto Masateu and others, who had been tossing on the road for several days, couldn't help but swallow their saliva. However, Hashimoto Masatsu finally did not forget his duty, he turned his head and asked Kameda-kun, "Have the troops settled down?" ”

Koji Kameda hurriedly replied: "Report to Your Excellency Brigade Commander, I have already issued an order in your name for the infantry wing to start building positions, as for the first wing, since it is almost dark, I just let them rest for a night, and wait until tomorrow to start unloading and arranging positions." ”

"Hmm......" Hashimoto Masataku thought about it and acquiesced, after all, from the bright side, Kameda Koji's order was not wrong, the heavy artillery troops were no better than others, and the black lights were blind to the fire There was no way to arrange the position, plus the troops had been tired for several days, so it was only right to let them rest for a night.

The sky soon darkened, tonight's night sky was full of stars, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground looked particularly soft, it stands to reason that such a night should be very pleasing, but someone scolded the mother for this.

In a small forest to the west of Daliangzhuang, Su Jin looked at the cloudless night sky in the sky but scolded his mother in a low voice, he didn't expect his luck to be so bad tonight, even Tiangong was not beautiful.

This grove is very sparse, with an area of less than 100 acres, two infantry battalions and a mortar company led by Su Jin hid here after several hours of rapid marching, and the north of this grove is the Japanese garrison, from here you can faintly see the Japanese army's warning position three miles away from the telescope.

Su Jin put down the binoculars and said to Zhang Xiuniang next to him: "Major Zhang, immediately send a telegram to the brigade headquarters, telling the chief of staff that we have arrived at our destination, and we are expected to attack the enemy in two hours." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Xiuniang didn't talk nonsense, and quickly ordered the two soldiers to start setting up antennas and radios, and soon a faint ticking sound began to sound in the jungle.

Just when Zhang Xiuniang sent the report, there was a commotion outside the woods, and soon Huang Weiguo walked towards him with a large group of people carrying a pile of heavy things, and Huang Weiguo gave Su Jin a thumbs up as soon as he came: "Brigade seat, you are really amazing, even this thing can be placed here in advance, and it is also equipped with several base shells, so we don't have to worry about no heavy fire support." ”

"Good!" Su Jin nodded, and said to Xiaoyu, who was busy: "Xiaoyu, the mortar has arrived, you immediately lead people to set up an artillery position, I have only one request, that is, when the troops attack, your mortar company must blow up a passage for the brothers, so that they can kill in, can you sit down?" ”

Looking at the parts of the M30 mortar next to him, Xiao Yuqiang suppressed the surprise in his heart and said: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Watching Xiaoyu and the soldiers of the artillery company begin to assemble mortars to build a position, Su Jin touched his chin and began to think in his heart. The reason why Huang Weiguo asked Xiaoyu to participate in this mission by name is that Xiaoyu's hand almost refers to the ability to fight where, but because this is a rapid march, the troops can only carry eighteen light mortars of 60 caliber and nine 80 caliber and one and a half base ammunition, but this kind of firepower Su Jin thinks that it is not enough to suppress the Japanese army, for the sake of safety, Su Jin took advantage of the moment when the troops rested, and came to this grove in advance with two guards, After the guards were separated, eight M30 107 large-caliber mortars and two base shells were quickly cashed in, and they were stacked in an arid ditch, and only after the troops arrived did they tell Huang Weiguo that he had arranged for people to put a batch of weapons here in advance, and when Huang Weiguo really brought these large-caliber mortars back, almost everyone was shocked by him. The fact that his own brigade was able to put such a batch of weapons less than two kilometers away from the Japanese army in advance was really good, and for a while, looking at Su Jin, everyone couldn't help but feel like a mountain was standing up!

Su Jin stretched out his wrist and looked, at this moment, the pointer on the watch pointed to eleven forty-eight, he turned his head to Huang Weiguo and said: "You immediately let the soldiers hurry up and rest, and by the way, eat some dry food to replenish their strength, let's set off at 1:30 in the morning and attack on time at 2 o'clock!" ”

"Yes!"

Time passed little by little, a large dark cloud suddenly floated in the sky, and soon it began to drizzle, Su Jin touched the small water droplets on his face and was a little puzzled, the weather here is really a child's face can change, but this kind of weather is a good thing for him, so that the concealment of the troops is stronger.

Just when Su Jin was a little puzzled and happy, Gu Shoufu's reception banquet for Hashimoto Zhengteng was also coming to an end, because the big war was imminent, the group did not dare to drink more, and five or six people drank two bottles of sake and it was over.

When Tani Toshio left, only Masatsu Hashimoto was left in the house, as well as the three great sas of Koji Kameda, Kentaro Hamaguchi and Yuto Ogasawara.

Hashimoto Masataku drank two sips of tea and said to Ogasawara Yuto: "Ogasa-kun, you are the captain of the infantry wing, and the safety of the heavy artillery brigade depends on you. ”

"Hay!" Ogasawara Yuto hurriedly responded, and then said: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, please rest assured, I will personally go to inspect the alert situation immediately, as long as the people dare to come, then don't leave!" ”

"Yo West...... Very good! Hashimoto Masateng patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Very good, now everyone go to rest, we will set up an artillery position early tomorrow morning, and by noon we can let the people grow up to be powerful in the Japanese Imperial Heavy Artillery!" I'd like to see how long the Jingguan army in China can hold out under the heavy artillery of the Empire! ”

Kameda Koji hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, but didn't the commander of Gu Shoufu's division just now let us support their division first and shell the 19th Group Army of China, if we do this, will he be unhappy!" ”

"Yaga, this is Commander Okamura's order, what kind of thing is he, and he dares to order me?" Hashimoto was furious.

"Hai...... I understand! Seeing that his boss was angry, Koji Kameda quickly lowered his head...... (To be continued.) )
