Chapter 40: Artillery Meets Devils
Gao Quan asked Xie Zhongming if he was going to the Independent Brigade to take up the town, and the most worried person present was Liu Qi, the commander of the Independent Brigade.
Brigade Commander Liu was directly promoted from the commander of the reconnaissance battalion to the brigade commander, and the name of his unit in the early stage was the special brigade, which literally means that the fighting is relatively arbitrary, mobile and flexible, and loves to play some small conspiracies and tricks on the battlefield. Of course, there is no problem for the army commander Gao Quan to follow, it will only add wings to the tiger and increase the strength of the independent brigade, but it is not necessarily the deputy army commander Xie to follow the town, who knows what kind of virtue this deputy army elder is on the battlefield? If you go to the battlefield and give orders indiscriminately, because of the constraints of the prison army, wouldn't it be a bad thing if the battle that could be fought was not fought well?
"Oh, I don't necessarily have to go to the Independent Brigade to sit in the town, the military seat depends on the arrangement, I will go wherever you see where I am suitable. Don't dare to say anything else, on the battlefield, Zhongming can give up his more than 100 catties, and I can still do it without fear of death! Speaking of his own question, Deputy Army Commander Xie looked very calm, as if he was not talking about the question of going to the battlefield to fight, but just about whether to eat rice or drink porridge for dinner.
Gao Quan frowned slightly, he couldn't go to the front line, he was going to stay in the military department, no wonder he frowned. His eyes looked around, and he quickly made up his mind for Deputy Army Commander Xie, "Zhongming don't go to the Independent Brigade, Division Commander Qian's New 501st Division is a newly formed unit, and Division Commander Qian's health is not very good, so you can go to the New 501st Division to take control." ”
Qian Sixi's health was really bad, and after being captured by the Japanese army, he suffered the crime of the boss, and he was finally rescued, and then he caught up with the second Battle of Changsha. After a series of battles, I was not satisfied for three months after resting, and the devil came again! Qian Sixi has only recovered from his injuries, and his physical strength is still far behind, just because of this, Gao Quan has already promoted Zhang Erxiao to deputy division commander.
It is indeed not safe to let Deputy Army Commander Xie follow the Independent Brigade. Liu Qi loves to make dangerous moves and surprise soldiers with soldiers, and he doesn't look too much to see Xie Zhongming. Let Deputy Army Commander Xie follow the Independent Brigade, in case one of them is not well greeted, wouldn't it be terrible if Xie Zhongming, who had just entered the battlefield, encountered some danger again? In comparison, it is much safer to follow the more stable money Sixi.
"Yes!" Xie Zhongming stood up and saluted, and the matter was settled.
At this point, all the principal officers of the 500 Army had a clear division of labor, and each of them left the military headquarters and returned to their respective stations one after another to lead the troops to advance. Secretary Wu and Deputy Army Commander Xie, who were going to sit in the army, also followed Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi. Gao Quan commanded the military headquarters to pull out the camp and set up the village.
Speaking of which, Commander Gao sits in the military headquarters and commands the overall situation, and the happiest are of course Hong Yingying and the other three female generals. For a long time in the past, whenever there was a war, Gao Quan always led the troops alone and left, at first with Hong Yingying, and then just rode his jujube red horse! Now that they are together, the women are full of spring breeze and their hearts are full of joy.
Marching with the military department, there is no need to ride the jujube red horse, there is a jeep. Gao Quan drove the car, with reporter Tang Wenjuan sitting next to him, and behind him was the director of the special services Hong Yingying and the health doctor Hui Qin. Gao Quan looked to the right, and then looked back, and smiled bitterly in his heart, what kind of war is this? How does it look like taking a woman on an outing?
The cavalry regiment and the mobile detachment were the forerunners, the guard company accompanied the left and right, the field hospital followed the side, the artillery regiment was on the left, the baggage regiment was on the right, and the special service regiment and the communications regiment were cut off. The combined personnel and vehicles are not much worse than a division.
When the battle was in progress, this road was no better than in the Taiping period, and it was possible to collide with the Japanese troops at any time, and when the troops were marching, everyone had bullets in their guns, and they could start a war at any time when they encountered devils.
Of course, Shi Lei's scouts will definitely leave one, this is the old tradition of the 500 Army, and there is a reconnaissance unit to follow the military headquarters at any time in case of accidents. The confidential office was transferred to the truck, and while marching, it was listening to the telegrams of the Japanese army and of course the various units of the Nationalist army. While evading the Japanese army based on real-time intelligence, you can also grasp the movements of friendly forces in time, so that you can have greater autonomy on the battlefield.
It was more than half an hour before the troops marched forward, and there was a gunshot on the right, and they encountered the enemy!
As soon as Gao Quan stopped the car, Biaozi jumped out of the car behind him. The commander of the guard company is not good at disturbing the private affairs of the military seat, but he can't be too far away. Fortunately, there were two jeeps in the military headquarters, and the secretary general and deputy army commander had left the army, and the remaining car would of course become the car of Company Commander Hu.
"Report, the artillery regiment encountered the Japanese interspersed troops, the size of which is about a squadron, and it has already exchanged fire with the artillery regiment alert unit!" A communications soldier ran over to report.
Met the devil so soon? Gao Quan frowned, "Order the mobile detachment to reinforce immediately!" Although Fan Xiaosi's artillery alert unit also has a reinforced battalion, when facing devils, Gao Quan did not dare to be negligent at any time.
Fan Berlin of the artillery regiment is not at all easy now, and the fierce gunfire is almost catching up with the sound of firecrackers during the New Year. Artillery, when is it in a relatively safe place, when will it be the turn of the artillery to go to the front line?
Commander Gao has always attached great importance to his artillery, and in order to prevent his side from finding a position to retaliate by the devil's artillery after firing the artillery, Gao Quan even formulated a hard rule that each cannon must retreat with three shells. Since its establishment, the artillery regiment of the 500th Army has never been so close to the devils as it is today.
The artillery regiment was on the left side of the marching sequence of the military headquarters. Commander Fan gave the troops a battle order before they set off, and the guns and bullets were also issued to every soldier, and even the soldiers who specially carried artillery shells were issued with one Hanyang-made and ten bullets.
Commander Fan was sitting on the truck towing howitzers and was napping, and the sudden sound of gunfire startled Commander Fan's head slammed into the carriage, letting out "Boom!" There was a bang.
"Oops!" Fan Berlin screamed in pain and covered his head with his hands.
The driver next to him hurriedly braked, and Captain Fan's body was planted forward again, and he almost hit his head on the front windshield again, and the driver's face turned white at that time.
"Bastard, what's the car?" Van Berlin glared at the driver, pulled the door and got out of the car.
"Tuanza, we've met a devil!" The communications platoon commander ran over with two communications soldiers carrying the phone behind his back to report. At this time, several guards also gathered around the artillery commander.
"Devils?" Although a little surprised, Van Berlin was not so surprised. If he hasn't met it, he hasn't encountered it, but he has long been prepared to encounter the devil in his heart. On the battlefield, all kinds of situations can happen, and it's not strange to encounter devils.
"Where's Little Five?" Xiao Wu refers to Fan Xianglin, the commander of the infantry battalion of the artillery regiment, and Fan Berlin was the same family five hundred years ago. Because Head Fan is four at home, Gao Quan always calls him nicknamed Xiaosi. Fan Xianglin is the only boy in the family. Head Fan thought about it, if he wants to call him the boss, wouldn't he have an extra brother for nothing? What's more, this Fan Xianglin is not as big as himself, so you can simply call Xiao Wu!
