Chapter 63: Full of complaints
In just one month, the Japanese army cleared the hillside in front of the Moyunling position into a bare patch, without any trees to cover it, although it is not clear what they did at night, it is estimated that it was some necessary defensive measures.
The only thing that confirms my inference is that the Japanese army began to build bunkers 100 meters away from the pillbox, which should be a three-dimensional firepower network formed by the Japanese army in order to cross-support each other with the firepower in the pillbox.
By the end of August, the camouflage of the Japanese positions was almost complete, and all the pillbox fortifications were covered with trees and grass, and it was impossible to identify the target with the naked eye.
"The little devil does the camouflage of the position, and the large trees around him are not used, why do you have to cut down the trees in front of the position?" Wang Sibao was lying in the bunker chatting with a Qiu Ba.
"Hell, the commanders should know about such things, so we don't have to worry about it, we just have to follow the order......"
I passed by them, and the Qiuba gave their lives to their superiors, but unfortunately the commanders were also suspicious, and did not show any better judgment than them in this matter.
Compared with Moyunling, the terrain of Longwan is low, which is actually at a disadvantage for conventional weapon shooting, but it is the best attack point for artillery, because it is facing this Moyunling, which is most suitable for short-range artillery without barrier-free direct fire.
Now the Japanese position has made a defensive posture, under Huang Wenlie's repeated applications, Shangfeng finally transferred four 92 infantry guns with low requirements for range and distance from the artillery regiment and equipped them to the new 200 regiment, plus the two German-made PAK battle defense guns we had before, the new 200 regiment now has a decent German-Japanese mixed artillery artillery battery.
Huang Wenlie was very interested when he went to the artillery position in the morning, and when he came back at noon, it had changed like the weather in Linmeng, he threw the steel helmet on the table with a sinking face, and wanted to take a sip of water from the cup, but he poured a mouthful of tea residue, and there was no water in the cup at all, only a pile of soaked residual tea.
Huang Wenlie put the cup on the table heavily: "Orderlie!" ”
The orderly had just walked to the door with a basin, and when he heard Huang Wenlie's roar, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran in: "The regiment commander ......"
Huang Wenlie took a sip, spit out the tea residue in his mouth, and raised the cup to the orderlys: "It's not that you want to fight with the Japanese with bayonets, you can't do this little thing?" I don't want to do it anymore! ”
The orderly was silent and said, "Commander, I just got you some water to wash your face...... I'm going to fetch water. He put down the basin, hurriedly picked up the kettle and ran out.
It's the first time I've seen that Huang Wenlie will get angry because of such a trivial matter, to tell the truth, Huang Wenlie is still good to his orderlies, and he is a hundred times stronger than other commanders who are beaten or scolded, and I don't know where the evil fire came from when he suddenly went crazy today.
Huang Wenlie scolded angrily: "What a thing! ”
There were only me and him in the regiment headquarters, so I couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb: "Tuanzao, who provoked you so much?" ”
Huang Wenlie: "I finally gave a few small cannons, and among the four artillery soldiers sent with the artillery, three of the artillerymen were strong men who had only been in the artillery regiment for a few days!" I don't know anything, I don't know what a sight is, what a shield is, let alone a flat shot! ……”
I persuaded and said, "You can't be angry at this, what army is willing to give a veteran to someone else?" The artillery regiment is already good, at least one of the four is a real artilleryman, and they all sent you four strong soldiers, don't you have to bear it. ”
Huang Wenlie said hatefully: "They dare! I want to go to the military headquarters and sue them! ”
It's really no wonder that Huang Wenlie is angry, although we have a few small cannons, but we also have a few artillery that can't even be found with a rope! The artillery regiment threw us a few artillery pieces that couldn't fire, which was what annoyed Huang Wenlie.
But I know that Huang Wenlie said that going to the military department to file a complaint is just angry words, and he also knows that the military department will not care about such a foolish lawsuit, and if he Huang Wenlie goes to make trouble, he will have to be reprimanded.
- Training and training, you don't want to do things, you want to pick up ready-made, how can there be so many veterans sent to you! I guess there is a chance that Shangfeng will use this sentence to block Huang Wenlie's mouth.
Huang Wenlie sat on the chair, indignant: "It's okay for other arms to say, I just train diligently, how can this artillery train?" How can we have so many shells for them to train in real combat? Just take a look, the cannonballs given are not enough for half a base, and if you really hand over the fire, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it for ten minutes! ”
I don't want to be around a grumbling chief, because it makes me feel like I might soon become his punching bag, throwing all his worries in, and then I'll be followed by a mess that won't help me and disturb me.
I stood up at his word and put on my steel helmet: "I'll go to the artillery position and see if there's anything I can do......"
The hell knows what I can do, I just go out and hide again.
The artillery position was arranged by Huang Wenlie in the col directly facing the Moyun Ridge, where there was a natural barrier, and there were shrubs and artemisia grass more than one person tall everywhere, and there was no need to arrange any camouflage, just push a few cannons directly into the bushes.
The real artilleryman was explaining the use of the ninety-two rifle cannon to the three strong men who might not have put down their hoes for a few days, and the three strong men stared at each other and listened in confusion. The strong men didn't recognize me, and they didn't even know the rank clearly, but they finally knew that it was an officer who was coming, and they could hesitantly salute under the leadership of the artilleryman.
I said to a few strong men, "Can you learn in half a month?" If you don't think you can learn, you can become an infantryman, and I'll replace someone else. ”
These three strong men also knew that artillery was better than infantry, and said in a loud voice: "Sir, we can learn, we can learn." ”
I said, "Okay." If you don't want to be an infantryman, you must study it seriously, and within half a month, you must be proficient in the operation of this gun! ”
Use threats to make these strong men use snacks! Look, that's my way, there's no way to do it!
The newcomers also know that the new 200 regiment is a regiment that everyone yearns for, because our regiment is almost the only unit that pays full salaries, and we will not deduct the soldiers' rations, that is to say, we will send as much as the military salaries and food sent down from above.
Even if the other troops were paid enough, they would be "kept on their behalf" by the commander in the name of preventing them from escaping.
This "custody" knowledge is very big, because there are dead and missing, and no one is held accountable for such headless bad debts, so the part that is "kept on behalf of others" in the end is basically kept into the pockets of the governors.
This is the most common means of making money in the army, of course, this situation generally appears in lower-level officers, and high-ranking officers naturally do more advanced and more leaky, such as the things that Wang Tingyue is doing.
