Chapter Twenty-Six: The Sound of Howitzers and Heavy Artillery

Xiao Yunguang also held a wine glass and saluted Ning Chenlongdao; "As the chief of staff, although you did not personally participate in this annihilation war, you must have put a lot of thought into the planning and command arrangements, you are a hero of the curtain, Xiao really respects you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "Yesterday, when reconnoitring the enemy's situation, Ning Chenlong said something bold and risky, and now it is just a fulfillment of his far-reaching insight, and the demeanor of a general who burned Chibi by Zhou Yu of Eastern Wu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he can't help but admire.

Ning Chenlong also raised his glass to clink glasses with him, modestly and authentically; "Section Chief Xiao has won the award, and Ning is willing to make you a friend."

After the two of them finished drinking, Xiao Yunguang was already a little drunk, he picked up the wine bottle from the table again, filled Ning Chenlong and his own cup again, and said sincerely; "To be honest, this annihilation battle, the brothers opened their eyes, and at the same time saw a lot of deficiencies and imperfections in the ****, the brothers have done a comparison and taught, the marching speed, shooting, and even hand-to-hand combat and cold weapons of the **** sniper team can not be compared with your special combat team, ashamed!"

Ning Chenlong interfaced; "It's not as Chief Xiao said, I have carefully inspected the captured Japanese sniper guns and equipment, the Japanese army uses German equipment, and the **** uses American equipment, German equipment and American equipment have their own specialties, there is no difference, but I still found out the reason why the **** sniper team suffered heavy losses......"

When Xiao Yunguang heard this, his alcoholism disappeared all of a sudden, and he hurriedly asked with wide eyes; "What is the reason?"

Ning Chenlong narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before slowly replying; "The Yokohama Brigade is an elite ace unit in the Japanese Army, and the equipment configuration of its sniper team is also quite comprehensive, each soldier's sniper rifle is equipped with a silencer, and there is almost no sniper rifle on the **** soldier, except for individual commanders, what do you think, what does the sniper battle between the two sides rely on? The first is to hide yourself, the second is to find the sniper target, **** sniper once he finds the target, he will shoot, the gunshot, but also exposed his own position, will be tracked by the opponent's magnified aiming lens, and even a lot of camera tracking, his body position is invisibly controlled, locked in a variety of angles and directions within the shooting range, it is difficult to survive, the Japanese sniper found the target to shoot, because the gun is equipped with a silencer, the sound is not loud, and at the same time stifle the flame of the bullet, It's not easy to be exposed for a while, and the snipers on both sides are professionally trained and know how to disguise and hide themselves, that is, once you find the target, you can't hit it with one shot, but exposure brings you fatal danger...... The probability of both sides shooting and exposing is one to three, or even one to five, in general, the **** sniper will expose himself with one shot, and the Japanese sniper will shoot three shots, or even five shots to expose himself......"

It took Xiao Yunguang a long time to come back to his senses, his eyes were full of admiration, and he sighed leisurely; "It's reasonable, the calculations are accurate, and my new Sixth Division also has a lot of staff officers...... If I could have met Chief of Staff Ning earlier and found out the reason, our sniper team would not have faced off with the devil sniper team and lost the elite of the army in vain...... I heard the division say that his junior brother Lu specially introduced you to him, saying that your brother is also the chief of staff of our **** division, who died in the battle to defend Nanjing, if it weren't for this accident, he would have sent you to the Munich Military Academy in Germany for further study, I just regret, why can't talents like you be used by our army? ā€

Ning Chenlong hurriedly raised his glass and saluted him; "Section Chief Xiao, the division just said that we are allies, allies, and a family of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and raised their glasses to finish their drinks.

At this time, a **** officer came over and pulled Xiao Yunguang to their table, and many **** officers surrounded Xiao Yunguang, toasting him on the one hand, and asking about the situation when Yizheng Lang died.

Xiao Yunguang added fuel and vinegar, and bragged about exaggerating the embarrassed appearance of Yizheng Lang before he died, his story was not finished, but he was already drunk.

Towards the end of the celebration feast, the earth trembled slightly with the rumbling sound of cannons in the distance.

Fang Zhiwei was drunk, raised his wine glass and said loudly; "This must be the Yokohama Brigade that found the corpse of their sniper team and is retaliating against our army's shelling, ha, ha, they also know that they are distressed! That ghost mother-in-law, Yokohama Yoshiko, was thunderous at this time, and she must have vented her hatred under beating and scolding her subordinates," he shook his wine glass and said to Lu Caiting from afar; "This devil's heavy artillery team is really hateful, they have howitzers and heavy artillery, and they often beat us so that we can't raise our heads, junior brother, if you and your special combat team can blow up its howitzer heavy artillery, I will give you a company of weapons and equipment as a reward......"

As soon as his voice fell, Deputy Division Commander Hu Yi and a large group of officers and generals applauded and shouted; "Okay, Deputy Captain Lu, keep up the good work, get off to a good start, and then make the little devil cry and call his mother!"

A company's weapons and ammunition equipment is a great temptation for the anti-Japanese independent column! The eyes of all the column members were fixed on Lu Caiting.

Seeing that his junior brother didn't squeak, Fang Zhiwei burped and continued to increase his chips; "Plus two mortars, with mortars, who would dare to provoke the independent column of bandits in the area of Weimeng Mountain? Even if the devil goes into the mountains to sweep, you have to think about it, your mortar is condescending, and the devil's cannon will become your meal. ā€

"Okay, it's a deal!" Lu Caiting agreed earnestly; "Make a surprise plan tomorrow."

The officers and members of the independent column applauded enthusiastically, cheered and coaxed, and lasted for a long time, the **** generals have suffered from the Japanese howitzer heavy artillery, the power of a shell is several times stronger than the **** shell, and the battlefield is often suppressed so that the **** has no power to fight back, the kind of nest that witnesses the crazy and wanton of the Japanese army is simply unbearable, and now to destroy it, how can the **** generals not clap their hands and applaud.

Due to the excessive drinking of alcohol at noon, the dinner canteen only arranged lean porridge, steamed buns and some light dishes.

After dinner, Lu Caiting called an adjutant to notify the military doctor to check the recovery status of the gunshot wound on Lin Zhifeng's arm, and after a while, the military doctor and nurse came to check Lin Zhifeng's injury, recovered and returned to normal, and folded the thread for her.

After the military doctor and nurse left, all the column personnel were crowded in the political commissar's room, chatting and laughing, they did not rest well from last night to this morning, but the first victory, they all seemed excited and excited, not a little tired at all, Shangguan Gumei, Su Bei, Su Xiaomei several male and female team members who studied telecommunications technology also came here, Lin Zhifeng asked them how their condition was, whether they were suitable for it, they all said very good, although the director of telecommunications was very strict, but he was willing to teach technology, the room was full of laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was lively, Before I knew it, it was more than eleven o'clock at night, and Lin Zhifeng urged everyone to rest early, but everyone just didn't leave.

An adjutant walked in the door and reported that the division commander had invited Political Commissar Lin, Deputy Captain Lu, and Chief of Staff Ning to meet in his study.

Lin Zhifeng, Lu Caiting, and Ning Chenlong got up and walked out of the room, and the others dispersed.

The three of them followed the adjutant to the division commander's study, the study was very spacious, with vertical calligraphy and paintings, slightly simple, but the furnishings were simple, with a long desk, equipped with an inkstone pen holder, several old sofas of different lengths, a few cold dishes, a few wine glasses and a bottle of liquor on the long table.

The division commander Fang Zhiwei came forward to greet the three of them very warmly, asked the three to sit down on the sofa, and the adjutant went out to cover the door.

Fang Zhiwei also sat down, opened the wine bottle, poured a full glass of wine for everyone and himself, and explained; "Actually, the wine has been overdosed at noon today, I heard that you haven't fallen asleep yet, so I want to invite you to come over and talk about home, I also have some French red wine here, but I know that you are all Jianghu people, and you definitely don't like sweet and sour wine in foreign countries, so I still use white wine to entertain you, this wine only increases the mood between us, can only be tasted, can not be drunk again."

Lu Caiting took a sip of the cup and said with a smile; "When did Senior Brother learn to be so particular? In fact, if we have anything to say between us, there is no need to engage in these decorations and etiquette. ā€

Fang Zhiwei shook his head and replied seriously; "You are my junior brother, although we have a friendship, but after all, you are a person from the New Fourth Army, and there are Political Commissar Lin and Chief of Staff Ning, how can you lose your courtesy when you come to the cold house?"

Lin Zhifeng was not polite, picked up the wine glass and took a shallow taste, then picked up a piece of saltwater gizzard with chopsticks and fed it into his mouth, nodded and thanked him; "Thank you General Fang, you can treat our New Fourth Army as a friend, this friendship, our people in the independent column of Weimeng Mountain must remember in their hearts, if the general Fang has any orders in the future, even if they are sent down, we will repay them heavily."

Fang Zhiwei stood up, paced to the long desk, opened the drawer, took out three pistols and a large square box of cartridges, turned back to the sofa, put the pistol and bullet box on the coffee table, and then sat down and said in a long voice; "These are three American-style M191 pistols, the magazine is loaded with eight rounds, the hand is comfortable, the shooting distance is long, and it is very accurate, in addition to the shell gun, it is more powerful than other large and medium-sized Browning pistols, it is smaller than the shell gun, light weight, **** in the school only have made meritorious contributions to the colonel-level officers are distributed, give it to you!"

The pistol was brand new and shiny, shining with blue light, Lu Caiting, Lin Zhifeng, and Ning Chenlong's eyes lit up, and they each grabbed a pistol and played with it in their hands, caressing it carefully, and couldn't put it down.

After playing for a while, Lu Caiting stuck the pistol on the belt around his waist, and thanked Fang Zhiwei with his fist; "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your generosity."

Fang Zhiwei picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said in a heavy tone; "Speaking of your detachment of the New Fourth Army, that column, in fact, it is just a reckless army entrenched in the mountains and mountains, gathering the mountains and forests, your supply and equipment are naturally very difficult, as a senior brother, I also feel sorry for your little junior brother, but everyone has their own aspirations, since you have chosen the Communist Party, I have nothing to say, only to support you a little bit......" Speaking of this, he put down his wine glass, sighed and continued; The government is also forced to cooperate with your Communist Party because of the current situation, and it may not be out of sincerity, and the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will not last long......"

"Yes, General Fang is so right," Lin Zhifeng said; "After the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the success of the Northern Expedition of the Great Revolution, your Chairman Chiang tore off his mask, revealed his rogue nature, purged the Communists in the army, disarmed the workers, and openly massacred the Communists, causing many tragedies in Shanghai, Hunan, and Wuhan that shocked China and the rest of the world."

Fang Zhiwei nodded silently and replied in a helpless tone; "The contemptible people also know some of these incidents, but the contemptible people don't pay much attention to politics, if it weren't for the Japanese invading army that has entered our country, the contemptible people will not go out of the mountains to fill the army......"

Lin Zhifeng also sighed lightly; "There are many generals like General Fang in the ****, who are honest and brave in battle, but they only know how to carry out orders and don't know what to fight for? It's sad to think about, but it's understandable," she smiled lightly and continued; "This is a matter of political concepts and beliefs, let's not talk about it, only talk about the present, no matter what, we communists take the national righteousness as the priority, regardless of the past suspicions, and cooperate with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party again to jointly fight against the Japanese invaders, we only hope that there will be more reasonable people like General Fang among the ****, and frankly cooperate with our New Fourth Army, everyone will work together, why not drive away the little devils?"

Fang Zhiwei smiled bitterly, shook his head and said; "Most of the middle and lower-level officers in **** sympathize with and support the New Fourth Army, but the middle- and upper-level officers are different, they are colluded and filthy, in order to maintain their official position, they will definitely implement the central government's policy of eliminating the Communist Party to the letter, alas, in fact, the current behavior of the contemptible people, providing a large number of weapons and equipment for your New Fourth Army, has violated the purpose of the commanders of the Third Theater, but the contemptible people are not followers of Chairman Chiang, and this is also to fight against the Japanese invaders, and they can't help me......"

Lin Zhifeng nodded, her clear eyes revealed deep respect, and she praised; "General Fang's actions are benevolent and righteous, our nation will remember you, and our New Fourth Army and people will remember you."

Fang Zhiwei picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put down the wine glass, smacked his lips, and said happily; "It's still a good liquor, mellow and rich, clear and refreshing, into the stomach and around the stomach, making people feel like they are in the samadhi fantasy, and the aftertaste is endless......"

Lu Caiting also drank the remaining wine in the cup in one go, put down the empty cup, and said to Fang Zhiwei; "Senior brother friendship, junior brother in mind, there is a way is a great grace without thanks, in the future, when you can use your junior brother, even if you open your mouth, even if it is a sea of fire and knife mountain, Longtan Tiger's den, junior brother will never be ambiguous!"

Fang Zhiwei smiled heartily and said slowly; "Senior brother to give my junior brother a little benefit, is it reasonable to say it, who wants you to return, although the devil's heavy artillery position is located in the hinterland of its defense area, it is heavily guarded and heavily guarded, but I think, this must be difficult for my junior brother, the general in the million army, as if he was looking for something, except for my junior brother, who dares to take this big responsibility? Senior brother, I'm not worried at all, it's just ......"

Lu Caiting picked up the wine bottle and poured wine into the cup of his senior brother and himself, handed a glass to his senior brother, took a glass to himself, stared at his senior brother and asked; "What are you worried about?"

Fang Zhiwei took the cup and took a sip vigorously, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he said worriedly; "Everyone has compassion, your New Fourth Army gathered in Jiangnan from the eight provinces, before that, they suffered from **** heavy encirclement and suppression, tired of running for their lives, only hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, they are not clothed, people are also extremely lacking in nutrition, weapons are even more old-fashioned close to primitive, such a tired division, a little rest, will go to fight behind the enemy, they will face well-armed, so vicious that even **** is afraid of the Japanese army and some local diehards, as well as the **** eyeing the ****, they can be **** Courage and perseverance are understandable to survive in the midst of many encirclements and suppressions, but the unfamiliar environment and the lack of weapons and materials are fatal flaws for them...... The contemptible people are really worried about them! I hope they can become strong as soon as possible, and so do you......"
