The train transporting the 200th Division needed to go north to Zhengzhou, and then transfer it from Zhengzhou to the vicinity of the combat zone. According to the regulations, all soldiers are not allowed to get off the train, all stay on the car to prepare for battle, and the veterans and officers of the preparation battalion began to constantly talk about combat skills and tactical requirements, and combat experience belongs to combat experience, but when they think of fighting, those recruits who have not fought are still extremely nervous, and some can't even eat.
At this time, Zhang Wei and the veterans of the original teaching corps in the battalion could only sing military songs to boost their spirits, military songs are such things, they talk about a catchy and simple singing, but to be honest, Zhang Wei The lyrics of the army military songs they are familiar with are complicated, which is really difficult to understand for these big-headed soldiers under their command.
The wind and clouds are rising, the mountains and rivers are moving, the Huangpu army is strong, and the revolutionary heroes are loyal.
Jin Ge Iron Horse, a hundred battles on the battlefield, and a pioneer inside and outside.
Crisscrossing the battlefield, reviving China, invincible, and making great contributions.
The flag is shining, the golden drum is sounding, the dragon and tiger are majestic, and the loyal and lean army is honored.
Mobile offensive, brave and composed, surprise attack initiative and resourcefulness.
Treat each other with all sincerity, unite and strive for self-improvement, annihilate the enemy, and sing Kai.
In the end, the people from the front of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion also sang along, they were all gentlemen, although they didn't know what they were singing when they listened to this song, but when they saw the brothers and commanders who ate and lived with them around them singing, they simply hummed along with the tune, and the fear of war in their hearts was not so great.
The road is far away, and when the first column of the assault army unloaded, it was already the 22nd, during which the battle situation seemed to have undergone drastic changes, and all units of the Eastern Henan Corps launched a fierce attack on the enemy in front of them, but they failed to achieve the purpose of the campaign, and the attack was not effective. Xue Yue's plan for the Eastern and Western Route Armies to annihilate the Japanese army was completely shattered, and Lan Fengcheng, Chenliukou Ferry and Neihuangji and other places also fell one after another, in this case, Xue Yue had to re-plan the annihilation plan.
The Japanese army that occupied the ferry, stepped up the transportation to cross the river, and now the squadron in the eastern Henan region is facing more than the 14th Division, the actual strength of the Japanese army is much more than the commanders of the squadron and division, the main force of the 14th Division crossing the river is the 27th Infantry Brigade (under the jurisdiction of the 2nd Infantry Wing, the 59th Infantry Wing), the 28th Infantry Brigade of the 50th Infantry Wing (owes 1 brigade), in addition, the 20th Field Artillery Wing (owes the 3rd Brigade), The 2nd Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery (owed to the 5th Wing), the 8th Independent Field Heavy Artillery Wing, the 5th Mortar Brigade, the 1st Independent Balloon Squadron, the 2nd Anti-aircraft Artillery Squadron, the 1st Bridge Material Squadron of the 2nd Division, the 14th Division Bridge Building Material Squadron, the 2nd River Crossing Material Squadron of the 16th Division, the 1 Sub-Squadron of Bridge Building Materials, about 150 folding boats, the 2nd Independent Engineer Wing, the 14th Engineer Wing, the 14th Baggage Wing, the Division Signal Team, the Health Team, the 1st to 4th Field Hospitals, etc.
Coupled with the cavalry wing of the 14th Division and the independent light armored vehicle brigade that were the first to raid, in fact, the squadron faced more than 40,000 people, with the 14th Division as the backbone, and strengthened the combat cluster behind a large number of heavy artillery, engineers and other special units.
The arrival of the first column of the assault army undoubtedly gave a shot of strength to the war zone, and the order from above soon reached Qiu Qingquan's hands, but this order made Qiu Qingquan cry and laugh. First of all, the chariot battalion of the first column of the assault army, which had just gotten off the car and was loaded back into a company, and was continued to transport reinforcements to the troops that Lan Feng had moved to fight. Then he ordered the remaining assault troops to search and advance eastward on foot, and ordered the assault column to join the troops of the 64th Army, paying attention to the Japanese along the way.
** The Luowang Station on the Longhai Line is being attacked, where, according to the telegram obtained by Qiu Qingquan, there are the 64th and 74th divisions of the 58th Army of Li Hanxun.
As soon as the assault column walked out a few kilometers, the madman Qiu ordered the troops to stop advancing, why? Because the assault column is now completely passively marching, the marching sequence of the entire unit is divided according to the order of transportation, the chariot battalion (owing a company) is at the front, then the mechanized search platoon and the motorized search platoon, the heavy equipment is in the front, Zhang Wei's infantry infantry unit is at the end, and after leaving the station, Qiu Qingquan immediately called the commanders of each team together.
In addition to Qiu Qingquan and the officers in his column headquarters, the highest rank in charge of the assault column was Liu Jiehui, lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the chariot battalion, and Zhang Wei, the commander of the major preparation battalion.
At this time, Qiu Qingquan, wearing a grass-green cloth uniform and a cloth hat, squatted beside the mound, the guards around him held maps and various work tools used by officers, and behind him were several staff officers. The commanders of all parts of the assault column gathered here.
Qiu Qingquan pointed to the diagram on the ground: "After unloading from that broken station, we have to walk along the railway line, but we can't rely on it yet, we must stay away, even if it is a longer detour, it is worth it, this is the order, we have to adjust it." ”
Liu Jiehui, the commander of the chariot battalion, nodded again and again: "Yes, now our chariot battalion is in front, there is no other meaning, we can block bullets and charge, but we can't let these iron lumps fight the front team, and the search platoon infantry in our chariot battalion is only one platoon." ”
Qiu Qingquan nodded, once the tank is placed in front, it may be a loss.
"I've summed it up, don't move until the chariot battalion waits, take advantage of this time to overhaul it, don't lie down, let the armored vehicles and search soldiers of the mechanized search platoon go to the front, and then Zhang Wei, your preparation battalion, ready to be on alert at any time, the battle defense artillery battalion and the engineer platoon are sandwiched in the middle, and the chariot battalion is at the end."
Zhang Wei has no opinion, it is indeed right to do this, it is absolutely safe to put the infantry in front of the most likely to encounter the enemy, behind the chariot battalion.
"Yes, sir."
The commanders of the other parts agreed, so the units quickly began to change their ranks, the chariot battalion did not move in front, the troops behind advanced in turn, the front team became the rear team, and Zhang Wei's reserve battalion was lined up behind the mechanized search platoon.
When the team moved forward, Zhang Wei saw the tank battalion troops resting, more than 20 tanks stopped in place in turn, there were larger Soviet-style T26s equipped with artillery, and then there were Italian-made CV35 tanks equipped with eight-mm machine guns, which were shorter than people.
The soldiers of the preparatory battalion also stared intently at these steel monsters who rarely even listened as they advanced, and some even sighed privately regardless of the discipline of the march.
"This Iron King Eight can block the gun."
"I think the shells can hold it."
The officers and veterans quickly stopped the soldiers who were talking, urging the soldiers to move forward in place, Zhang Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head at the front of the team, how could he not be like this, only when he visited in his previous life, he had seen some retired tanks and armored vehicles, and he had never had the opportunity to contact these "Iron King Ba" so closely
