Chapter 36: The Bloody Battle of Luodian (8)
Xu Changsheng looked a little embarrassed and said, "Commander Bai, no matter how big the future is, it doesn't attract me more to me than a few clean oceans. My family was poor since I was a child, and the deepest memory of my childhood was that I had no money to eat, I was hungry all day long, and I suffered a lot. Later, when he grew up, he became a soldier, and he came to the death with a rain of bullets and bullets, and became a major battalion commander today. After becoming an official, I saw that all the officers of other teams were corrupt and bribed because of deducting military salaries, and they slowly made a fortune. But I am in the 11th Division, on the one hand, because the 11th Division is extremely strict, there is rarely a chance for this kind of thing to happen; On the other hand, because I can't get along with my conscience, I can't do such a thing as taking black money with my conscience, so until now, I am still a poor bastard. ”
"After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, we brothers made a great wish, as long as we did not die, we would fight with Little Japan to the end. Defecting to Commander Bai today, on the one hand, because Commander Bai's pension system is really exciting to us, but more importantly, it is the banner of the Anti-Japanese Protector Army, which is the same as our willingness to fight the devil to the end, so we are willing to join your command, not for anything else, just to make more clean money and fight more damn devils! ”
Xu Changsheng's words were sonorous and powerful, but Bai Fei was quite shocked, and he immediately said: "Okay! Just for the sake of this sentence 'make more clean money, fight more damn devils', I accept you in vain, and hereby promise you that all your treatment is the same as that of the previous Protector Army soldiers, and if one day you drive away the devils and you don't die on the battlefield, then I will definitely ensure that all brothers have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives! ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole Protector Army erupted in bursts of crazy applause.
Seeing his subordinates beaming with joy one by one, Bai Fei's heart was heavy. What is he worried about? Worry about money! Although a batch of gold and silver dollars were seized from the devil before, now that the team is slowly growing, there will always be a day when they will not be able to make ends meet.
Bai Fei secretly thought: It seems that you have to find a way to make money when you go back.
The day after Hu Lian left, Bai Fei received a call from Xue Yue, commander of the Sixth Corps. On the phone, Xue Yue first praised Bai Fei, and just when Bai Fei was confused, Xue Yue said: "The Sichuan Army Yang Sen led the 20th Army to Shanghai, as soon as they arrived, they immediately changed guards with your department, and now the Shanghai soldiers are nervous and unable to send reinforcements, please be sure to stay in Luodian for a while..."
Bai Fei couldn't figure out what position Xue Yue was now, and what kind of subordinate relationship he had with Chen Cheng and the others? But he finally understood what Xue Yue meant, so he said: "Chief Xue, I can hold on here, but I have to say it in front, now Luodian is the thousand people of my national army, if the Japanese army attacks, it will be easy to defend me; If I can't defend it, I will decide whether I should retreat or will retreat. ”
Xue Yue pondered for a moment and said, "This is natural, but I still hope that you will focus on the overall situation..."
Bai Fei interrupted him and said, "Chief Xue, don't say these high-sounding words. Don't forget that my team is called the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, fighting with devils, we never fall behind, I will try my best to defend Luodian, but it is still the same sentence, if you can't defend it, I will retreat when it is time to retreat. ”
After speaking, Bai Fei hung up the phone. Xue Yue on the other end of the phone was stunned for a long time, put down the phone with a wry smile, and said to Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying who were standing next to him: "Ci Xiu, You Qing, you two have dug a big hole for me, this Bai Fei is really difficult!" ”
Chen Cheng also smiled bitterly: "No way, the Anti-Japanese Protector Army is an independent organization, we have no direct command power, everything still has to be discussed with him." ”
Luo Zhuoying also said: "Luodian is now surrounded by enemies on three sides, and it is really difficult for him to have nearly a thousand people stationed there." I think we'd better coordinate the manpower as soon as possible..."
Chen Cheng said: "If you can coordinate people, why bother to offend people." Now we can only wait and see, Ruoluo store is really critical, we are trying to find a way. ”
Xue Yue said: "I think it's better to transfer some cement to him, and I have done some hard work, hoping that he can guard until the arrival of the Sichuan army." ”
……
Let's say that Bai Fei received the cement transferred by Xue Yue, and it was already the afternoon of the next day. In the past two days, the whole Shanghai has been very lively, but Luodian, which China and Japan had fought for N times before, was quiet, and the Japanese army couldn't even see each other, and it seemed that they had forgotten that there was Luodian.
Bai Fei naturally didn't know about the Japanese army's intentions, but he didn't care. After receiving the cement, Bai Fei immediately ordered his subordinates to build and strengthen the anti-artillery holes on the three sides of Luodian. There are a lot of houses around Luodian, the war started, the residents have already run out, even the houses were also destroyed in the Sino-Japanese war, there are many reinforced concrete stones in these ruins, Bai Fei asked his subordinates to clean them out, as the backbone material for building anti-artillery holes. And built several permanent fortifications on each of the three defense lines, forming several intersecting fire blockade lines.
Two days later, Bai Fei went to inspect and relieved. At this time, the newly repaired anti-artillery holes on the position were much stronger than the previous ones in terms of capacity, height, and solidity.
During this period, Bai Fei also reorganized the 500 new soldiers of the original 66th Regiment, and in addition to supplementing the losses of the previous combat casualties of each department, the personnel of Wang Weiguo and Li Shuyang's first and second companies were increased by 80 each; The artillery company increased by 100 people, because Hu Lian left all the other 12 cannons captured last time to Bai Fei before leaving, so that the number of 150mm heavy guns alone reached 24, and the artillery company had to be expanded.
The remaining 200 people were organized into three companies by Bai Fei, and Xu Changsheng served as the commander of the third company. In terms of armament, the first and second companies each add 2 Gatlings, 10 RPGs, and as for the third company, they are completely according to the standard configuration of the first and second companies.
In this way, in addition to the 200 personnel of the regular company, the firepower has also increased a lot, with a total of 5 Gatlings, 20 RPGs, 50 AK47s and other light and heavy firearms in each company; plus 24 heavy guns in the artillery battery, dozens of RPGs; There are also air defense teams of special combat teams, sniper teams, mutes and others, and the strength of the National Protector Army can be described as unprecedentedly strong, and such firepower is difficult to compare with even a division of the National Army.
After another five days, the time has reached October 11th, and there is still no Japanese soldier in sight in front of the Luodian position for several days, and Bai Fei can't help muttering in his heart, I don't know what the little devil is doing. After breakfast, he took Wang Weiguo and others to inspect the position as usual, and was inspecting the room when he suddenly saw several people from the special combat team in charge of peripheral reconnaissance running over.
Bai Fei immediately greeted him and asked, "Is there a situation?" ”
One of the special combat team members said: "Tuanza, about 6,000 Japanese troops of the 3rd Division of Yuepu have just finished rearming and are already coming towards us, and about 5,000 people of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army in Yangxing are also coming to our side. ”
Before the man could finish speaking, he saw Li Hu and several special combat team members dragging a half-dead Japanese soldier in their hands, Li Hu came up and reported: "Tuanza, the strength of about a division of the Japanese army in Xiaochuan Sha has just set off for our side. We also captured a ghost soldier and brought it back. ”“
Li Shuyang, who was standing next to him, immediately asked the Japanese soldier about the situation in Japanese, and the Japanese soldier had obviously suffered a lot, and he didn't dare to hide it immediately, and told everything he knew.
It turned out that the Japanese troops who came from Xiaochuansha turned out to be the 6th Division of the Japanese Army that had just been transferred from the North China Battlefield, and their primary purpose in coming to Shanghai was to help the 3rd Division, which had suffered a big loss, to recover the field and eliminate Bai Fei's anti-Japanese Protector Army.
After figuring out the situation, Wang Weiguo said: "It seems that the Japanese are determined to kill us this time, and they have sent so many people to besiege us from three sides. “
Bai Fei said with a smile: "The little devil has traveled thousands of miles to transfer people for us, and he looks up to us." Tell the brothers to prepare for battle, this time I want to see how powerful the devil's people are, or if the equipment of our national protector army is powerful. ”
