Chapter 261: Before the War

"How many soldiers in the army have fought?" Chen Fei said with a frown.

"Oh, half, and half of it is a strong man who brought in." Jiang Defu Road.

Chen Fei smiled bitterly and said, "What's the situation with weapons and equipment?" ”

"Oh, one rifle per person, there are medium and formal ones, and there are three Czech-made ones in the whole regiment." Jiang Defu Road.

"It's gone." Chen Fei said.

"It's gone." Jiang Defu replied.

"No, it's good to have the Czech Republic, Division Commander Chen, the people who use light machine guns are all veterans, and there is a group of three aspects, mainly because there is a shortage of rifle ammunition now, less than 20 rounds per person." Jiang Defu Road.

This Jiang Defu is also an old fritter, and the independent division now has more than 1,000 troops, and the number of light machine guns, heavy machine guns and submachine guns cannot be counted, if this division commander Chen can support it, it would be the best.

Chen Fei got up and said, "Okay, let's go, go to the position and have a look." With that, he strode to the position.

Looking at the three defensive positions, Chen Fei couldn't laugh or cry, these entire six ditches have a fart.

"Commander Jiang, it's useless to repair this trench." Chen Fei looked at Jiang Defu and said.

"Ah, this ······ I ······ Master Chen, this is mainly because there are no materials and tools, so it's a little worse, but isn't it our independent division? Jiang Defu smirked.

Chen Fei sneered, this kind of ruffian is slippery, but now is not the time to turn his face.

"In this way, Commander Jiang, let's defend, you go to the mountains to cut down some trees, as for the shortage of ammunition in your regiment, when our main force arrives, we will allocate a batch to you, is that okay?" Chen Fei said.

"Ah, okay, okay, then, then I'll go gather troops and go to the back mountain to cut down some trees." When Jiang Defu heard that there was ammunition, he immediately said happily.

"No, not a little, it's a large batch." Chen Fei said.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Defu nodded and said, after he finished speaking, he immediately gathered the troops.

"Wang Liang, inform the guard company to defend the front, teach the left side of the team, and the right side of the reconnaissance battalion, and ask the watermelon to send scouts to reconnoiter the neighborhood." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Wang Liang replied.

"Division commander, the communications office and the division headquarters are not there." Chen Fang came over and said.

"Let's be in the ancestral hall first, and then we'll talk about it when the main force arrives." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Chen Fang replied and immediately went to arrange it.

Chen Fei walked under a willow tree, sat down on the spot, and the old steamed bun handed over a cigarette to help Chen Fei light it and said, "I'm very dissatisfied." ”

"I thought it was a strong team, but I didn't expect it to be a ragtag army, and it was empty-paid, Chief He said it was a fully loaded regiment, and I thought, forget it after reorganization." Chen Fei also smirked.

"Hey, you're on top, how do you know what's going on down there? There are so many troops like this that we can't find another one in the whole country. In this battle, I saw so many elite troops along the way, I am afraid that it is all the family resources of the chairman of the committee and the local governors. The old steamed bun said.

Chen Fei nodded, and suddenly he thought that He Yingqin said that there was still a batch of ammunition in Hutou Village, and immediately said: "Chief He said that there is a batch of ammunition replenished to us in Hutou Village, you go and ask." ”

"Okay, I'll check it out right away." The old steamed bun said, and walked away after speaking.

"Qinglong come, sit, our soldiers don't pay so much attention." Chen Fei said to the green dragon beside him.

Qinglong sat down cross-legged.

"You don't hate me for taking you to battle, do you?" Chen Fei said.

Qinglong thought for a while and said: "In the dragon head meeting, it is also a life of licking blood from the knife edge, all the same. ”

"It's a big difference, you'll understand it slowly, by the way, do you have a favorite pistol?" Chen Fei said.

"I don't like guns, but I know how to use them, so give me a box cannon." Qinglong Road.

"North and South, go and get two original German box cannons and give them to Qinglong." Chen Fei said to Li Nanbei, who was not far away.

"Yes." Li Nanbei replied and immediately went to the guard camp to borrow a gun.

"Qinglong, the army has the rules of the army, you have to learn slowly, watch and listen more, you are my guard, we will be brothers in the future." Chen Fei looked at Qinglong Dao.

"I know, don't worry, I'm dead, you'll be fine." Qinglong Road.

"Haha, it's not so serious, life and death are rich and noble, hahaha~" Chen Fei said with a smile.

Qinglong is not good at talking, most of the time Chen Fei is asking, and Qinglong is answering.

Chen Fei hopes that Qinglong will integrate into the independent division as soon as possible and become a real soldier, but this is not something that can be done in a day or two, after all, a killer can survive on the battlefield, that is, a good soldier.

"Commander." Shang Li came over and said.

"Well, say." Chen Fei said.

"Division commander, the national army in Zhongtiao Mountain will retreat tonight, and the former enemy general headquarters has notified all units on the Tongguan front line to respond, mainly the first division, the independent division, and Hu Zongnan's two armies." Shang Li said.

"Got it." Chen Fei smiled. Shang Li saluted Chen Fei and went back. Now Shang Li of the Intelligence Department is the main department of external relations.

"Commander, why are you laughing?" Qinglong was puzzled. He thought, the troops have all withdrawn, how can the division commander still laugh.

"The replenishment of the source of troops is here, a few of our regiment commanders are not here, if they are, after the rout of our defense line, don't even think about slipping away, Wang Liang told Lao Mantou, Zhu San, watermelon, and the platoon commanders of each company, go out to pull people tonight." Chen Fei shouted.

"Yes." Wang Liang shouted.

After a while, the old steamed bun came over and said: "Four Makqin, eight Czech-made, five hundred medium-formal, six hundred boxes of grenades, and a lot of mortar shells, give~ This is the list, a warehouse behind the village, originally for Jiang Defu Tuan, we came, and we gave it to us." ”

"Jiang Defu is not red-eyed." Chen Fei said.

"There's no way to be red-eyed, I guess it's just our division, otherwise I would have robbed it a long time ago." Old steamed bun said.

"Send a squad to guard, and wait for the main force to arrive, by the way, have you received a notice, and the army will be routed again at night, and our army flag will be hung up, and the independent division of the Central Army will add the ocean. Whatever he says, he will get two or three thousand people. Chen Fei said with a smile.

"Wang Liang came over and said, I'll think about it, don't worry." The old steamed bun also smiled.

Chen Fei nodded, he thought that if the army of more than 100,000 troops was defeated, he was afraid of breaking up the defense line, but as long as the first division reached Tongguan at night, it should be no problem, but he still asked Zhu San to set up three heavy machine guns at the entrance of the village as a precaution.

Just after ten o'clock in the evening, there were three or three two routs coming, and at twelve o'clock, a large number of routs came, some of them still in formation, most of them in groups of three or five, and many of them even lost their guns.

The old steamed bun was at the intersection where the rout came down, and three pots were set up on the field path, white porridge, and wotou, as long as they stayed, they could be eaten, otherwise they would get out, and if they dared to rob, the machine gun submachine gun was waiting.

What Chen Fei didn't expect was that there were only more than 500 people who stayed to join the independent division, and most of them would rather go hungry than stay. Chen Fei stared at the routs that kept passing by, and thought to himself, the people of Shaanxi are arrogant.

"Old steamed buns, don't do this dirty thing, each brother who comes to beg for food has a nest." Chen Fei said.

"Okay, I don't feel good either, I know." The old steamed bun smiled bitterly.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the main force of the independent division finally arrived, and military vehicles and trucks carried the soldiers into Hutou Village.

Chen Fei stood at the entrance of the village, watching the arrival of the soldiers.

"Division Commander, Division Commander, Division Commander!" The shouts of the fighters and the standard salute made Chen Fei feel very comfortable.

"Divisional Commander, Divisional Commander." Sanmao and Flatbread jumped down from the military vehicle and said at the same time.

"It's all right." Chen Fei said with a smile.

"Alright, alright." The two said at the same time.

"Wang Liang, inform the commanders of all troops, including Jiang Defulai, to hold a meeting in the ancestral hall." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Wang Liang replied and immediately went to inform him.

"Commander, I have accepted a new brother again, it seems that I have a good hand." Sanmao looked at Qinglong Dao.

"Oh, this is Qinglong, this is Sanmao, the guard battalion commander, you are in his charge, by the way, Qinglong, this Sanmao is known as the first master of our independent division, you are here, he should give up his seat, haha." Chen Fei said with a smile.

"It's kind of interesting, brother, let's talk about it someday." Sanmao said with a smile.

Qinglong looked at Sanmao and said, "Okay!" He replied simply, making Sanmao look at Qinglong with admiration, after all, whether he is a master or not, only a master knows.

In the ancestral hall of Hutou Village, the commanders of the independent division sat down in order.

"Wang Liang, arrange a seat for Head Jiang." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Wang Liang replied, and as soon as Wang Liang beckoned, a soldier brought a wooden stool and asked Jiang Defu to sit.

Jiang Defu was shocked just now, which division is this, it is almost an army at all, an ordinary army, it is estimated that there are not so many artillery, what 92 infantry guns, 75 mountain artillery, mortars can not be counted, Jiang Defu's eyes are straight.

"Say a few words, the 1st Engineer Battalion should build its headquarters as soon as possible, and the regiments that were ordered to garrison the front line should also build fortifications immediately. Second, the reconnaissance battalion withdrew from the front line, touched the surrounding terrain, and at the same time released reconnaissance posts to observe the situation of the devil troops at any time. Thirdly, the Communications Division takes over from the Intelligence Division, while the Intelligence Division collects information from all parties and reports in a timely manner. Fourth, Zhang Ning of the teaching team was injured, and the teaching team was merged into the guard battalion. Fifth, Chief of Staff He should find a few good artillery positions to support and move at any time. Chen Fei said.

"Yes." The crowd shouted.

"Guys, is there anything else you'd like to add?" Chen Fei said again.

"Division commander, I don't know how many days to hold on, this time I came in a hurry, I didn't have much food, I could only eat for half a month." Old Zhang Tou said.

"It's good to have half a month, save a little, and talk about it then." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Lao Zhangtou replied.

Chen Fei looked at everyone and saw that there was nothing wrong with everyone, so he began to give orders.

"The 1st Brigade Independent Regiment entered the frontal position, the 1st Regiment entered the left flank, the 2nd Regiment entered the right flank, and the 2nd Brigade formed a zigzag at the end of the village to stand by." Chen Fei said.

"Yes." The crowd shouted back.

Chen Fei was just about to say that the meeting would be dismissed, but Jiang Defu raised his hand and said in embarrassment: "Senior Commander Chen, then, then our group ······"

"Oh······ Deputy Head Zhu, you can arrange it. Chen Fei glanced at Zhu Guowen and said.

"Yes." Zhu Guowen replied, but he didn't understand what Chen Fei meant.

"The meeting was adjourned. Deputy Division Commander Zhu and Chief of Staff He stayed. Chen Fei said.

"Yes." Everyone will go to their own troops when they return.

"Division Commander, what do you mean by this Commander Jiang?" Zhu Guowen said.

"Oh, it depends on the situation, if you can, take them in, if you can't say it, now let them cut down trees, carry sandbags, and help the engineer battalion complete the fortifications as soon as possible." Chen Fei said.

"Understood, I'll arrange it." Zhu Guowen said, he thought to himself, this matter has to be discussed with the old steamed bun.

"How's the ammunition situation for the troops?" Chen Fei asked.

"It's quite sufficient, but it's all kinds of shells missing." Zhu Guowen said.

"Well, I know, when the time comes, I'll go to ask Chief He for advice, you make a sand table as soon as possible, this time the devil has a clear goal, the attack is decisive, since the Battle of Songhu, the devil has not organized such a big battle, the strategy and tactics are impeccable, and the cooperation of all arms is comparable to a textbook." Chen Fei said solemnly.

"I heard that the devils also sent paratroopers to attack the headquarters of various troops, paralyzing their commands, division commander, we must not be on guard." Chief of Staff He said.

"I'll arrange this guard job." Zhu Guowen said.

Chen Fei nodded.

For a whole day, the independent division was digging trenches, communication trenches, troop transport roads, and ammunition warehouses, although it was not yet completed, but it is estimated that any general of the national army would give a thumbs up when he saw it.

Chen Fei also checked and guided around non-stop.

The big war is approaching, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more tense.

Early the next morning, a large number of routs swarmed in, and until noon, Zhongtiao Mountain was completely occupied by devils.

And several regiment commanders did not keep recruiting the defeated troops, and the regiments were now strong and strong, and the entire independent division was approaching 20,000 men.

"Report!" Chen Fang came over and said. At this time, Chen Fei was so tired that he was napping under the willow tree.

"Oh, oh, what's wrong?" Chen Fei said in a daze.

"It's good for you to sleep here, hehe~" Mr. He came over and smiled.

"Ah, the chief is here." Chen Fei immediately stood up and saluted.

"How are you preparing, this devil can come as soon as he says." Mr. He said.

"I don't dare to say big things, but the flag of the independent division will not fall." Chen Fei said seriously.

"Well, that's good, your division and the first division are horns against each other, and neither side can afford to lose. This is also the order of the commission. Mr. He said.

"I understand, don't worry, uncle, if I die······" Chen Fei smiled bitterly. Originally, he wanted to say that he would take care of Wenjuan, but he didn't say it when the words came to his lips.

He Yingqin was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Fei and said: "Don't die, it's unlucky, but don't worry, everything has me." ”

Chen Fei nodded.

"Okay, that's it, tactically, I'm not stronger than you, if you have determination, I'll rest assured, just mention what you need." He Yingqin said.

"Okay, we need shells, 92 infantry guns, 75 mountain guns, mortars can give as much as we want." Chen Fei said.

"Well, I'll do it for you when I go back, and I have heavy artillery support." He Yingqin said.

"Heavy artillery, by the way, what about my eight 150mm German guns?" Chen Fei said.

"Then I don't know, this time the heavy artillery is Hu Zongnan's." He Yingqin said.

Chen Fei and He Yingqin chatted while talking, and also observed the trenches, He Yingqin could only nod his head, because he really couldn't find a shortcoming.

It was getting dark, and Chen Fei said politely: "Chief, do you want to eat something before leaving?" ”

"If you don't eat, you have to go to other troops." Mr. He said.

Chen Fei didn't invite anymore, so he sent He Yingqin.

Early in the morning, a large number of shells were delivered, this time it was very generous, after all, once again when it came to the life and death of the country, who would care about this thing.

At ten o'clock, the rumbling cannon sound came, and in the direction of Tongguan County, the devils began to shell.
