When Ou Shounian received Zhang Yichun's order to send troops to Huoshan, he was stunned for a moment, all along, the devils of the 48th Army and Lu'an have been well water and do not interfere with river water, I don't know why this new army commander suddenly made such a decision.

You must know that whether Liao Lei personally took charge of the 48th Army, or when Wei Yunsong took over the 48th Army, he would almost never take the initiative to provoke devils, but this Zhang Yichun was going to pick up the tiger's whiskers soon after he took office, which made him almost incomprehensible.

After receiving the order for more than ten minutes, he was indifferent, but he didn't expect Zhang Yichun to drive to the headquarters of the 176th Division in person, and scolded when he entered the door: "Ou Shounian, what do you mean, take my order as a child's play?" Believe it or not, I'll send you to the Chongqing Military Court! ”

Ou Shounian wanted to refute him a few words, but after thinking about it for a while, he endured it again. He is the old man who followed Liao Lei, and he is one of the few old people who have been following Liao Lei in the 21st Group Army.

Although he was very uncomfortable, he thought that Zhang Yichun was also an old man beside Commander Liao, so he endured this breath. Liao Lei's health has always been poor, and Ou Shounian is reluctant to bother him because of these face-tearing things.

"Ou Shounian, did you hear what I said, hurry up and send troops, if you delay the military plane, the commander can't protect you."

Seeing that he was scolded and yelled at without saying a word, Zhang Yichun was even more annoyed, and he reprimanded him again.

"Junzuo, why are you in such a hurry, why haven't you heard the wind and grass where to fight?"

Although Ou Shounian didn't talk back, this answer made Zhang Yichun even more angry. But his heavy words didn't play a role, and Ou Shounian still didn't care much about him.

Like a punch to cotton, Zhang Yichun felt a feeling of not being able to exert his strength, in fact, he also knew that it was inappropriate to shout at the commander of the first division, and he was not convinced by the three division commanders and six brigade commanders below not long after he took office. However, the military situation is too urgent, although Liao Lei is on the sickbed, he also gave instructions to fight a beautiful battle, which can be regarded as giving the commander of the 21st Group Army a long face.

As the main division of the 48th Army, this task belongs to the 176th Division, Zhang Yichun didn't think about it, so he gave the order, but he didn't expect that for more than ten minutes, the headquarters of the 176th Division did not move at all, which made him very anxious.

A brigade of devils in Huoshan arrogantly went out of the city to sweep, this is almost the fat sent to the door, how can Zhang Yichun not eat it, after getting this information, he personally reported it to Liao Lei as soon as possible, and only after getting his approval will he issue an order to let the 176th Division send troops, this is the first big battle after he became the commander, and it is also the first big battle of the 48th Army in the past two years, how can Zhang Yichun not care.

He can endure it at any time, but he must not drop the chain at this critical moment, so there will be a big scolding of Ou Shounian. After encountering the soft nail, Zhang Yichun understood that if he was more unfriendly, he would definitely not send a single soldier in this district.

"District division commander, I got the information before, some time ago the Japanese army transferred from Hubei suddenly dispatched a brigade of troops, went to the countryside to sweep, this is to give us a good opportunity, Nanchang has been lost, the government and the army are mourning, if at this time our 48th Army can eat the devils of this brigade, just imagine, what will be the reaction of the chairman? What will be the reaction of the war zone commander? ”

Zhang Yichun didn't talk to Ou Shounian in a tone of command and reprimand, he found Ou Shounian's unhappiness, and knew that his blind and forcible suppression would only backfire.

"Junza, is there a sentence I should ask?"

After Zhang Yichun's tone improved, Ou Shounian didn't give him any more soft nails, and his attitude eased a little.

"Brother District has something to say, don't be so polite and reserved."

"Is this a big thing, does the commander know?"

Ou Shounian is Liao Lei's old subordinate, even if Liao Lei has been kept on the sickbed now, he almost only obeys his orders, although Zhang Yichun is called the army commander, but if he wants to transfer the 176th Division, he still needs to pass on the management of time, at least he must be convinced by Ou Shounian.

"Of course, after I reported to the commander, he fully supported it, otherwise did the district brother think that Zhang would be self-righteous to this point?"

Zhang Yichun did not feel that he was being despised by others, on the contrary, Ou Shounian's words played a role in motivating him, and he carefully used them to manage the troops, and within a few months he was supported by the 48th Army, so that after Liao Lei's death, the entire 21st Group Army was entrusted to him until Li Pinxian's arrival. Of course, this is an afterword, so I won't mention it here for the time being.

"Commander's approval?"

Ou Shounian was a little unconvinced.

"Of course, otherwise do you think Zhang would dare to risk the world's disapproval and falsely pass on the commander's orders?"

Once Zhang Yichun calms down, everything he says and does is clear, even if he is anxious in his heart, he can be patient.

"Didn't the commander always advocate friction with the Japanese? How could it suddenly change the proposition. Ou Shounian seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact he was talking to Zhang Yichun, he wanted to hear how this new army commander would explain in the end.

"Brother District, do you remember the last time you sent troops to Lu'an?"

"Of course I know, it was a regiment that Commander Wei asked me to dispatch, and after reporting the results of the battle, it was rewarded by the Ministry of Military Affairs."

Ou Shounian was still proud when he talked about this matter, although he still didn't know that he had sold a favor to the New Fourth Army, or even sold a love to Sun Yumin, but having the reward from Shangfeng already made him satisfied.

"Just imagine, our battle was just a bargain for the New Fourth Army, to put it mildly, even if we drank some leftover soup from others, we would have such glory, so what if we took the initiative to attack and eat the lonely brigade of devils? With this record, even if you and I are not promoted, we will raise our eyebrows in front of our colleagues. ”

Zhang Yichun's words are very much in line with Ou Shounian's appetite, and it is also a reason for him to accept it, seeing his happy face, Zhang Yichun said again: "Brother District, such a good thing is almost given to your combat merits, if you put it back and don't want to go, I have to assign this task to the 138th Division, although the combat effectiveness is not as good as you, but Commander Mo Dehong will not hesitate like you." ”

"Don't be so troublesome, our 176th Division is at the forefront, why bother to move the 138th Division from the back to the front." Ou Shounian is not stupid, how could he be willing to give away this great credit, but he was worried that the devil was too hard and would knock out his teeth, so he said hesitantly: "Military seat, as far as I know, there is a wing of devils stationed in Huoshan County, and there are more artillery than my entire division. ”

"You can put 10,000 hearts, although the devil is ferocious and the firepower is fiercer than ours, but as long as one or two regiments are dispatched, set up a blocking position, and hold on for a few hours, this Japanese army brigade in front of the breakthrough will be the meal on the plate of the division commander of your district." Zhang Yichun continued: "I will transfer the artillery battalion and machine gun battalion of the military headquarters to you to command and assist you in fighting this battle." ”

"Yes, Throne."

As soon as Ou Shounian heard that Zhang Yichun had sent out the baby bumps of the two military departments, his confidence immediately increased, and he also had a good impression of this old colleague and the new army commander, and even took the initiative to salute him.

…………

The first and third companies had already changed their outfits, and their weapons had been received, and they were all energetic and high-spirited when they stood in the martial arts training floor.

Dai Cunxiang and Dong Wenbin were both pulling their throats, teaching the soldiers how to operate and use this firearm, the people below didn't know how powerful this gun was, but they knew it, so while explaining to the soldiers, let the backbone explain hand in hand below.

The soldiers of the first and third companies are all veterans of the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment, and it is relatively easy to accept this knowledge, plus the professional soldiers, they are particularly sensitive and familiar with guns, so it didn't take long to understand the use of these guns.

Sun Yumin asked the 1st and 3rd companies to keep all the heavy machine guns, whether it was Makqin or Type 92, they were too cumbersome and unsuitable for rapid marching and interspersing, and the German-style general-purpose machine guns brought from Tianjin had not been cleared of gun oil and could not be used. The Czech style is very convenient, and this is also the only one of all the original guns that Sun Yumin asked to bring.

Li Tianxi and Wu Linsheng stood at the back, looking at the high-spirited Dai Cunxiang and Dong Wenbin with envy, their hearts were not at all good, the more they looked at it, the more angry they became, the two were about to drink some stuffy wine, but Sun Yumin came to them.

"You two don't look downcast, I didn't say anything about giving these guns to the two of them, you still have a chance."

He knew almost everyone of these henchmen well, how could he not understand the current thoughts of the two, and lift their spirits with a single sentence.

"Boss, you're not fooling us, are you? The guns were all in the hands of the. ”

Wu Linsheng said with a hippie smile, compared to Li Tianxi, a stuffy oil bottle who couldn't press a fart for a long time, he often came forward to deal with the outside world on behalf of the second company.

"Isn't Mulai scheduled for the March competition? Because of some unexpected circumstances, it has not been held until now, so after I plan to do this, we will agree on a time to give the three of you a competition, so that we can decide who will use these weapons; second, you can choose some people for the bayonet squad; Sanma......" Sun Yumin paused deliberately, and then said: "You can show these more than 1,500 recruits what a real volunteer soldier is, and by the way, let me refer to who can be the battalion commander and who can only be the company commander." ”

He has already said this very thoroughly, if Li Tianxi and Wu Linsheng still don't understand, it is really stupid. Although the two of them didn't catch the war this time, the information that Sun Yumin compensated them for was far more practical than killing some devils.

"Don't be too happy too soon, I only told you both about the news, if you can't compare to one and three in a row, then it's no wonder to me."

Sun Yumin made a little trick, and the disgraced two regained their fighting spirit. Although there are more than 1,000 recruits, but if the two of them don't have the mind, the defensive effect of the flat dan village will definitely be greatly reduced, so Sun Yumin had to draw a cake for the two of them, so that the two of them would not be emotional because of the submachine gun.

"How so? Look at it when you arrive. Li Tianxi replied with a rare sentence.

"Also, Lin Sheng, don't be idle, the flat stone is handed over to Wen Zhi and Tianxi to guard, you gather our small cannons, and also change into the clothes of the national army, and give a series of fire support when necessary, remember that you don't need to bring too many shells, just a few shots per cannon."

Wu Linsheng heard at least two meanings from Sun Yumin's words, first, although the Third Company of this operation was redressed and issued submachine guns, they were only a reserve team, and they did not necessarily have the opportunity to fire even one bullet; Anyone who leads the troops knows that although the defensive battle is bitter, it is definitely better than taking human lives and blood to fill the fortified points, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, and no matter how awesome and coaxing a company is, it is inevitable that some veterans will be wounded or even killed. Among the three veteran companies, Wu Linsheng was only worried that the first company would be better than his second company, and as for the third company, it had not yet entered his eyes.

…………

Inuzaburo Inamoto was in high spirits, he didn't stop the soldiers from searching house to house in the ruined and scorched earth town, nor did he stop the soldiers from slaughtering the civilians who had escaped the shelling, and occasionally the surviving women were ** in public, and Inamoto would even make fun of the soldiers who were lining up at the ** scene, and their belts had been untied.

Sasaki, the leader of the artillery squadron, Fujita Nakasa, the captain of the Japanese brigade on this sortie, and the staff officers of the accompanying army followed behind him, constantly echoing his lewd smiles.

Led by a few soldiers, the four of them walked into the wretched mansion of the Wang family. The first thing that entered their eyes was the unfashioned banquet that had been blown up in the courtyard, and there were no two tables of dozens of banquets intact at the moment, but from the broken bowls on the ground, Inamoto could still see that the variety of meals was very rich, and the banquet was very rich.

"Sasaki, it seems that your artillery fire has ruined people's good deeds." Inuzaburo Inamoto said with a grin, seeing Sasaki's puzzled face, he explained: "I have heard that Chinese people will put on a banquet when they have a happy event, and this Wang Degui's family must be doing some happy event today, it is really not a coincidence, let you smash the field." ”

"Hahaha, Your Excellency Dazuo, if there is such a thing next time, I will ask the artillerymen to vacate the banquet seats, so that the warriors of the Imperial Army can also taste the taste of the banquet."

Sasaki's smile is even more ** than Inusaburo's Inusaburo's, but in the ears of Fujita and the staff officers who accompanied him, he enjoyed it very much.

"Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, this house has also been carefully swept, except for one person who can't move his legs, all the other living people have been killed."

Seeing Inuzaburo Inamoto and their arrival, the leader of the Japanese squadron who captured Foziling and the Wang family's mansion ran in front of him and reported to him.

"How's the result?"

Inuzaburo Inamoto wasn't interested in the people in the report, he was concerned about how much he would gain from such a big house.
