183. The top of the four rows is at the front
Niu Gu found Sangou alone and said that he wanted to put the 4 rows in the front trench, and the 4 rows were all fellow villagers of Guangfeng, Jiangxi, and they could be regarded as Niu Gu's descendants.
Niu Gu has just become the company commander of the 7th Company, and he has to make an appearance, but he can't arrange his troops and fellow villagers at the end and let others take the front first.
If you do that, you will definitely attract the resentment of others, why, we are cannon fodder in the front, and you are hiding in the back, just by virtue of your nepotism?
Although it is said that it is a soldier's duty to carry out orders, and the orders of the commander cannot be asked for reasons, and they are just executed, but in this, it is necessary to talk about a general fairness and justice.
Otherwise, if you are an official and crush people to death, people will not be able to object, but the intensity of implementation will be different.
Niu Gu has been mixed with people in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and these truths naturally know that if you want others to be convinced, you have to start yourself; "Leading by example" is a quality that must be possessed in a junior officer.
Therefore, Niu Gu's idea was to put the 4th platoon to the front, and then the second line of defense was 3 platoons, the third line was 2 platoons, and the 1st platoon, which had the best strength of the whole company, was hidden in the tunnel as a mobile reserve.
In doing so, needless to say, it is clear that he has suffered a loss first, and the other platoon commanders will have nothing to say, and they will not fight for the second and third platoons.
What is there to fight for, people have taken the initiative to put their own people on the front line, and they are embarrassed to fight for the second and third ones, and when they say it, they don't admit that the joke is dead, and they can't hang it on their faces.
Therefore, there is no problem with this arrangement, the other platoon commanders are just 4 platoons, Niu Gu is still a little worried, one is afraid that his fellow countrymen will not understand, and the other is afraid that Sangou is the acting platoon commander and is still a novice, afraid that he is inexperienced, does not play well, and has pressure.
So I came to ask for the opinion of the three dogs, and the three dogs naturally had no opinions, and they couldn't pick and choose the fat when they were fighting, and they all fought oily and slippery battles, and in the end they were still harmed.
There is also a more important point, that is, to stand up for Niu Gu, Niu Gu has just been promoted to company commander, he does not have any military academy background and special achievements, and he is not completely able to obey the other three veteran platoon commanders.
Therefore, the 4th platoon must set an example, rush to the front, have the courage to sacrifice, and play majestic, so that the other platoon commanders have no gossip, and only then can Niu Gu command them.
Niu Gu was very relieved to see that Sangou was so brave and resolute, and said: You have not commanded in actual combat, it doesn't matter, I will take special care of you, you can also find more Xiucai, Tienon, and Gouleg, these squad leaders to discuss, they are all veterans and have some experience.
In addition, you have to explain this matter clearly to the fellow brothers in the 4th row, so that everyone understands our decision, in short, everyone must be united in one heart in order to twist into a rope.
Sangou understands that when he goes back, he will mobilize the fellow brothers of the 4th platoon, in fact, everyone understands that the three squad leaders have no opinions, and the bottom has no opinions.
So, regardless of the relatively quiet and safe position for the time being, they split up and entered their respective positions, the ghost knows when the Japanese army will attack, maybe, after two days of dispatching troops, it is really coming, in short, Luodian is the only way to go, and it cannot be bypassed.
In the past few days, the battlefield is not as quiet as water, in addition to the cold guns and cold guns of the devils, in Baoshan and Yuepu in the east of Luodian, and Chuansha in the northeast, they have been fighting non-stop, and the rumbling of artillery can be heard.
Over there is the edge of the mouth of the Yangtze River, where the Japanese army landed, and the 18th Army and the 54th Army of the Civil Engineering Department fought with the Japanese army over there, and I heard that the battle was fierce and miserable.
Sangou's classmates in the military academy, Zhang Chengxun and Zhang Chengyi, two brothers, from Anqing, Anhui, one is in the 11th Division of the 18th Army and the other is in the 67th Division of the 18th Army.
This time it's a brother in battle, I don't know how the two of them are doing, I hope they can be safe, just be safe, everything else is secondary.
There is also a Wei Zi, Wei Yuncheng, a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi, he was in the 98th Division of the 54th Army (later the 98th Division of the 79th Army), Wei Zi usually doesn't talk much, but when he starts to do things, it is not called hard work, but it is called tough, vigorous and resolute, never dragging mud and water, very ancient temperament.
I like this kind of person in the army, and Sangou likes to train with him very much, with less nonsense and energy. It is also a blessing to have such comrades-in-arms.
It's just that this time the 98th Division is mainly guarding Baoshan and Yuepu, which is where the Japanese army is now attacking, because it is close to the mouth of the Yangtze River, in addition to aircraft, artillery and tanks, there are also more terrifying oversized naval guns.
There are more than 20 warships in the Japanese Third Fleet at the mouth of the Yangtze River (Wusongkou), and Sangou is not familiar with naval ships, but he still has a little understanding of naval guns in the military academy.
Naval guns are different from field guns, they don't need to be moved around like field guns, they only need to be fixed on warships, so they can be made very large, with a large caliber and a long range.
Like field artillery, to 150 is considered heavy artillery, rarely more than 150 field artillery, and naval artillery, I go, 150 is considered a small cannon, calibers of more than 200 abound, more than 300 have, I heard the teacher said, Japan also has a caliber of more than 400 giant cannons, equipped on super-large warships.
What kind of concept is this, 150 field artillery can open a small pond on flat ground, and the shells of more than 200, or even 300 or 400 calibers, will not blow up a large pond dozens of meters wide on the flat ground, and if the person is next to him, will there be a chance to live?
I'm really worried about Wei Zi, I hope I can survive, as a lowest-level junior officer, I only know that I have to fight for every inch of land to resist the country, even if it is bloodshed and sacrifice.
But who knows, according to the current equipment of their own troops, they do not have the right to control the sea and the air, and in such a place close to the sea and the river, and in such a plain area where there is no danger to defend, they will not be able to withstand the steel storm of Japanese warships and shells.
But as a small person, where does he have the opportunity to understand the overall situation of the entire war, and he does not have the opportunity to voice the voices of the soldiers at the bottom, hoping to flexibly consume the Japanese army in multiple deep defense lines.
This kind of thought is just like lightning in Sangou's mind, and he crossed it in an instant, recalling Lao Hei's local defensive position, whether he could enlarge this defensive position, or use multiple points to connect several lines to form a defensive surface.
After all, he is a small low-level officer, and he certainly does not know the offensive and defensive tactics of corps operations, such as large-depth, large-scale, roundabout, and multi-arms cooperation, and he does not know the height of national strategy.
Back to the local battlefield, in fact, Sangou they didn't know, the lethality of the Japanese bombers' bombs was also very terrifying, but they were not used much on the position, and they were generally used to attack military points and supply lines.
In addition, the Japanese army and navy have always been at odds with each other, and the navy does not provide much support to the army, so in the Battle of Songhu, the naval ships did not fight much.
Most of the 150 heavy artillery pieces that have been subjected to the present are fired by the field heavy artillery brigade, which was reinforced from the Japanese mainland on August 24 together with the 3rd and 11th divisions.
The Japanese air force is divided into naval air force and army air force, and most of the people flying in the sky now are the naval air force of the Japanese Third Fleet.
……
At night, the three dogs are divided into several shifts of open and dark sentinels, and everyone sleeps in the trenches to prevent the night attack of the Japanese army from touching the camp.
At night in the suburbs of Shanghai in early September, the temperature is not cold, but there are many mosquitoes.
A good way to do it is to remove the bullet from the bullet, pour out the gun, crush it into powder, and apply it to the exposed parts of the body, so that mosquitoes will not bite.
Everyone was on guard, but the Japanese army basically did not come to attack at night, and if you think about it, the troops with superior weapons rarely took the risk of night attacks or close combat.
After all, it is self-abandoning martial arts, throwing away one's own strengths, and fighting manpower and luck with opponents, and there are too many uncertain factors; If you have a long-range attack weapon, you can't risk your life to fight at night, and only when you have to capture a position will you reach the stage of close combat.
