Chapter 35: Rearmament (II)

Zeng Da took the brothers of the guard company, and carried boxes of rifles and box guns from the warehouse one by one, put them in front of the playground, opened the wooden box, and the rifles exuding gun oil were swarthy, and the smell was in the old soldier's nose, and the smell was intoxicating! At first glance, it was a new product that had just come out of the factory, and everyone was on tiptoe to watch the guards slowly move, and they couldn't wait to rush up to help......

Half an hour passed, and the move was finally completed. He Jianye shouted loudly, "Shoot!" ”

"The first battalion, lacking 877 rifles, was issued in full, and the battalion commander came to get the guns; 20 rounds per rifle for a short time. The box gun company commander, platoon commander, and squad leader each had one bullet and 50 bullets. Take it away! ”

"Yes" Zhu Yunhua, the commander of the first battalion, stood upright, saluted, and then shouted with a smile to come up and lift it aside, and then carefully distributed them one by one, and the bullets were counted one by one......

"The second battalion, lacking 825 rifles, was issued in full, and the battalion commander came to get the guns; 20 rounds per rifle for a short time. The box gun company commander, platoon commander, and squad leader each had one bullet and 50 bullets. ”

"Yes" The second battalion commander Legasaki stood up and saluted, but his expression was much better, and he asked the first company commander to distribute it, and he stood next to him......

"The third battalion, there was a shortage of 914 rifles, and they were issued in full, and the battalion commander came to receive the guns; 20 rounds per rifle for a short time. The box gun company commander, platoon commander, and squad leader each had one bullet and 50 bullets. ”

"Yes," Cao Dibing, the acting commander of the third battalion, is the same as the commander of the first battalion......

"The artillery battalion, there is a shortage of 1,000 rifles, 300 are issued, and the battalion commander comes to receive the guns; 20 rounds per rifle for a short time. The box gun company commander, platoon commander, and squad leader each had one bullet and 50 bullets. ”

"The baggage company, lacking 120 rifles, was issued in full, and the company commander came to get the guns; 20 rounds per rifle for a short time. The box gun company commander, platoon commander, and squad leader each had one bullet and 50 bullets. ”

......

The distribution of guns lasted for a whole morning, and everyone happily received the guns in their hands to start training, but the artillery battalion commander couldn't figure it out!

"There were 16 mortars in total, and there weren't many shells. There are only 300 rifles in total, which is too different from other platoons! Huang Wujun found He Jianye in the afternoon and complained,

"Haha, whoever said there are 16 mortars; The old rule, six people in a shell artillery team, after training, you will be given mortars! Do you understand? Now I think your artillery battalion has the biggest problem, and it is not at all comparable to the group of artillery trained when you came out of Nanchang. You have practiced the basic tactics such as rapid artillery, rapid transfer, and rapid aiming, and the cannon is indispensable for you. After He Jianye finished speaking, he walked away,

The ruthless Huang Wujun immediately gritted his teeth and returned to the artillery battalion, and shouted at the artillery battalion brothers who were fiddling with the rifles in their hands,

"What kind of rifle are you still playing, return to the team immediately! Now we are training mortar artillery tactical movements, the company commanders, platoon commanders, and group leaders here are all from Nanchang, and everyone understands what training standards we have in Nanchang, and if we can't meet the requirements, we don't have to sleep today! ”

"Battalion commander, the brothers are not energetic in training! There aren't so many mortars for us to use, so why don't we practice marksmanship? The company commander muttered,

"Hehe, I just went to the head of the regiment to complain; Do you know what the regimental commander said? Huang Wujun asked with a dark face,

The bottom shook his head for a while, indicating that he didn't know.

"The regiment commander said that now the whole regiment can't keep up with the training level of our artillery battalion, not because there are no mortars, but because we haven't met the requirements, I'm afraid that because you can't master all kinds of tactical requirements, you will carry mortars on the battlefield and die! My face! There's nowhere to put it! Huang Wujun was ashamed......

"Battalion commander, I didn't say it; We must have practiced basic mortar tactics in the past two days, and most of the brothers here have played with mortars before, and they are still on target. It will definitely not hold back the sixteenth regiment! The commander of the first company immediately assured,

"Then why don't you practice quickly and wait for the pestle to get dark? You have to practice even when it's dark! Huang Wujun roared,

"Mortars for training, five companies, two guns each; I went to the regiment headquarters to ask for a cannonball to carry for you to run, it doesn't seem to be real, you don't know how powerful! Huang Wujun went to the regiment commander with a black face......

"The first group, up, run faster, they've all been killed by the devil's shells, hurry up!".

"You are carrying a cannonball in a fit of rage, so that the brethren are waiting for you to eat with the cannonballs? The infantry brothers are dying! ”

"I said Da Lao Hei, you are a cannon! Who are you putting on a showcase? Don't you always brag about how good you are? Lose face! Keep training! ”

......

At the training ground of the artillery battalion, the battalion and company commanders were supervising the training of each group, shouting, shouting, and kicking...... Mixed with the sweat of the brethren flew everywhere in the training ground......

He Jianye was watching the training of the artillery battalion with a telescope at the regiment headquarters, smiling from time to time......

Looking at the battalions and companies in full swing of training, He Jianye specially ordered the cooking squad to cook all the meat and prepare double the multigrain rice and hot soup......

After dinner, the artillery battalion was still training......

The commander of the first battalion watched the artillery not resting, and ruthlessly led the first battalion to continue training night tactics, and then the second battalion also joined in, and then the entire regiment began night training......

"Deputy Regiment Commander Xia, tell those battalion and company commanders not to practice. Take it! Let the brethren rest well, maybe we will go to war with a phone call! Don't delay when the brothers are exhausted when they receive orders. He Jianye said,

"Yes, Commander, I'll tell them to take it!" Deputy Head Xia ran away......

On the morning of November 8, the bugle sounded, and the brothers of the 16th Regiment got up and continued to train in the midst of back pain...... However, under He Jianye's strict order at night, he didn't practice anymore, and went to bed after dinner......

At 9 o'clock in the evening of November 8th, He Jianye had just fallen asleep, and a rapid knock on the door of "bang, bang, bang......" sounded, and the communication soldiers outside the door were shouting,

"Regiment commander, emergency meeting of the division headquarters, please go immediately!" The communications soldier put down the phone and reported,

At the headquarters of the Third Division, He Jianye didn't wait long after he came in, everyone arrived, and Li Yutang began to ask Chief of Staff Ruan Yongqi to introduce the situation;

Under the light, Chief of Staff Nguyen Vinh Ki pointed to the map spread out on the table and introduced to everyone,

"Just now, the Japanese 10th Army entered Songjiang City, and the battle was very fierce, but the 67th Army had heavy casualties, and it had to face the crazy attack of more than 50,000 Japanese troops in the street battle, and it couldn't stop it for long. The Central Military Commission ordered the Nationalist troops in the Shanghai area to fully retreat, and all troops withdrew from the battle in Shanghai and retreated to Nanjing, Suzhou, and the area west of Jiaxing by two routes. Our task is to arrive tomorrow on the line from Tongli to Chefang to build a defensive position to cover the retreat of the main forces in the theater. ”

"The mission is clear to everyone! The whole division set off at 2 o'clock this evening and went overnight. Go ahead and prepare! Li Yutang ordered,

"Yes!" Hu Yunshan and Zhao Xitian walked out of the division headquarters with the two regiment commanders respectively, and complained outside the division headquarters......

"Hey! Lao Zhao, what kind of battle are you talking about! The losses of the troops were so great, and the sacrifices of the brethren were so great; It's still the end of the whole army's retreat! Hu Yunshan said

"Hey! Lao Hu, carry out the order! Zhao Xitian shook his head and said,

He Jianye pulled the three regiment leaders next to him and said, asking everyone,

"I said, how is the equipment of your troops repaired?"

"Our 13th Regiment is short of rifles, let alone heavy equipment! Ay! ”

"Our fifteenth regiment is about the same, there are soldiers, but there is a lack of guns and ammunition! Ay! ”

"It's the same with our Eighteenth Regiment! Ay! ”

The three regiment commanders are sighing!
