Chapter 61: Calling the Bureau

"From now on you will be my father-in-law. "In Room 335 of Shanghai Yangtze Hotel, Xu Peipei's expectant and happy face seems to be right in front of her, smiling like a flower.www.biquge.info

"How much of a grudge do you have to get along with the Propaganda Department? How much of a grudge do you have to get along with money? Can't you translate well? Don't say a word about things that shouldn't appear, so as to save people from reporting! Now it's right in xx again. If you want to do this again, please don't come to harm us. This is the voice of the editor earlier, bitter and reasonable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the opinions of the expert group of the jury, combined with the relevant solutions provided by the bidders, I now announce that the winning bidder is: Shanghai Desert Electronics Co., Ltd." This is the bidding before the resignation, and in the Huangshan Bidding Center, the strange smiles of competitors and industry representatives, the sound of singing bids has felt harsh until now.

"Li Kongrong, let it go! We've graduated, do you think we'll be able to move on? I'll tell you the truth, I've already sent it to the National People's Congress. "A more distant voice, the clichΓ©d love stories that are common on campus, are as moldy and yellowed as old photographs.

"Kong Rong, your father is gone, you have to be more sensible, hey." Sixteen years ago, in the summer of sixteen years ago, I met Xie Baohuan, a tablemate on the road, riding a permanent bicycle, and the words of comfort to myself were mixed in the screams of Zhizhi, which are still clearly recognizable.

……

Memories are like shuffled playing cards, flashing and disappearing in Li Kongrong's mind irregularly, flashing and disappearing, and then disappearing again. So that he could not find an exit in pain, and he could not find a clue in his confusion. Just as he was about to be completely confused, a voice with a smile overshadowed the othersβ€”"Hehe. I'm just so happy! This is my first child. "That's not someone else's voice, it's his own!

"Pepe... Pepe... Pepe!! In the senior ward of the West Berlin Hospital, Li Kongrong, who was lying on the bed, finally made a faint sound after a few days. It's just that this title made Kong Lingyi, who was sitting on the side of the bed, crimson, and Navy cadet Jiang Jing also heard Li Kongrong's shout, and he was looking at her - her nickname is also called Peipei.

"I'll call a doctor...... Kong Lingyi said embarrassedly, and left the ward as if she were running away.

Five minutes later, the doctor who came quickly checked Li Kongrong's condition and said, "It's a miracle, he came back to life." If I'm not mistaken, he must be the Son of God! ”

"Sir, is he alright?" Jiang Jing stood up blankly when he heard this, and he asked in unfamiliar German.

"No, it's only a small half, it's just a small half." The doctor's smile suddenly retracted, under normal circumstances, he could not guarantee anything, although the Chinese in front of him was extremely tenacious. "The patient's condition may be repeated, we can't completely let down our guard, don't be discouraged, child, at least we have hope."

After answering Jiang Jing's question, the doctor carefully examined it before leaving the ward. Jiang Jing sat down helplessly, he was pressing a bunch of telegrams in his hand at this time, among which there was even a major general named Du Yuming sent by him, on the telegram he was extremely polite, and the question asked was how the armored troops should fight in the streets. Could it be that the commander still knows land warfare? Jiang Jing looked at this strange telegram and thought to herself.

"Guangting, Berlin called back, Brother Hansheng...... I had a car accident and am now in the hospital, unconscious! Hou Teng took the telegram from Berlin and felt incredulous.

"Why did you get into a car accident?" Du Yuming, who was drinking water, froze, and he couldn't accept the fact that Li Kongrong had suffered an accident.

"The bomb dropped by the Air Force on the big world that day killed his wife and injured his son." Hou Teng said the truth, and when he said this, Hou Teng smiled bitterly: "Guangting, we are him. What the hell are you fighting?! Obviously not ready, but as soon as the order was given, we were asked to go to the Huishan Wharf. We don't know anything except the four words on the map! We ......"

"Don't say it, it's the duty of a soldier to obey orders." Du Yuming said in a deep voice. "The big war has started, what is there not to prepare."

"But we need at least time to investigate, right? At least take time to prepare, right? The order was given in the morning, and the attack was to be made at noon, we were fighting, not calling a game in a hotel! Hou Teng rarely insisted on his own point of view, but he couldn't change the decision of the headquarters, so in the end, his fist could only slam on the brick wall, hurting and hurting.

"Report!" Hou Teng smashed the wall here, and several battalion commanders outside had already come in, Major Zheng Shaoyu, commander of the 1st Tank Battalion, Major Li Jirui, commander of the 1st Motor Infantry Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Tian Gengyuan, commander of the 1st Self-propelled Artillery Battalion, and officers of the Battle Defense Artillery Company, Search Company, and the 4th Tank Battalion. According to the latest establishment of the armored forces, their ranks have been raised by one level, and the company commander has become a battalion commander, and the battalion commander has become a regiment commander, but the rank of the armored corps is originally higher than that of other units, so the rank remains unchanged for the time being.

"I won't say more, the order is urgent, our unit will attack Yangshupu at lunch time at 12 o'clock at noon, and now everyone is on the table, mine is 6:37." Du Yuming didn't talk nonsense, and pulled everyone's emotions to the extreme in one breath. After everyone finished the table, he said: "We know that the troops have not been trained well, and I also know the director of the non-armored troops in urban street fighting, but an order is an order, as revolutionary soldiers and members of the Kuomintang, we should throw our heads and spill our blood to fulfill the last wish of the former prime minister." ”

The words of mobilization stopped as he spoke, and the sound of gunfire outside seemed to be close to his ears, and although the fire at the Mobil oil depot in Pudong, which had been burning for several days, was extinguished, the air was still filled with a pungent scorching smell.

"Tell every brother to drive the pirates down the Huangpu River!" Du Yuming finally said loudly, "Disband!" ”

They were all old subordinates, and there was no loud promise, only a solemn salute that weighed more than 10,000 jun, and after that, the officers went out to make arrangements.

"Guangting, the headquarters said that the heavy artillery can't cover it!" After his subordinates left, Hou Teng once again brought bad news.

"Why?!" Du Yuming frowned. In the morning, when Lieutenant Colonel Shi Shuo, chief of the Operations Section of the Headquarters, forwarded the battle order, he strongly asked for artillery cover, and he did not expect that the attack was approaching and he had changed his mind.

"The artillerymen said that they had not surveyed the neighborhood of Yangshupu, and they were careful that the shells would miss for fear of hurting their own people." Hou Teng smiled bitterly, this kind of absurd excuse can deceive children, but everyone is a soldier, and the artillery observation post must be set up in the forward position, even if the test shot misses, it is impossible to miss the artillery fire after the subsequent correction. "Probably because I'm afraid of the Japanese planes, the air force can't move it."

"......" Du Yuming was speechless, he neatly packed his things, and immediately got on a German-made Congdapu machine bicycle. The tank crews of the tank battalion were already ready, and the recruits of the motorized infantry battalion were all crammed into the British Vickers six-ton tank, which was not very wide, but fortunately the two sides of the tank were tied with extra wood with wire, and these so-called 'tank cavalry' except for a few who sat on the tank, the rest were picked up on these logs.

In this mighty team, the most popular thing is the two 88mm German-made anti-aircraft guns towed in series by two German-made mustache armored vehicles (SD.KFZ221) - this is Du Yuming to die or live dragged out of the Jiangyin fortress, but unfortunately, this kind of magic weapon in Li Kongrong's mouth actually does not have a time fuse to fix the second [Note 29], and cannot fire a time fuse in the air (this is also the reason why the armored brigade can tow away the 88 German-made anti-aircraft guns), and the personnel of the Quartermaster Department should all be dragged out to shoot targets and shoot!

The command post below waved the flag to ask, and the anti-air lookout post on the head of the house scanned the entire sky before waving the flag in response, and the tanks, trucks, and machine bicycles below all started with a wave of the flag above. Even if it wasn't the first time they were in a car, the tank cavalry shouted and cheered loudly, and this would be their first appearance in front of the world - according to the brigade commander, they were the first real armored unit in the world.

It was not far from the position of the armored regiment to the starting point of the attack, but it took them three hours to reach the forward position of the attack because they had repeatedly lifted the camouflage net to evade the Japanese planes.

"Good fellows! Guangting, this is really ......" At the command post of the 261st Brigade, Lieutenant General Wang Jingjiu, commander of the 87th Division, looked at the tanks, trucks, and artillery that drove by, and greeted Du Yuming with a smile. Both of them are first-term students of Whampoa and have known each other for a long time. Wang Jingjiu thought that his classmate was too bad, but when he saw his belongings today, they were only part of them, and he felt a little envious.

"Brother Ping!" Major General Du Yuming saluted Lieutenant General Wang Jingjiu, and Hou Teng and others who came with him also saluted the officers of the 87th Division, while tanks and automobiles continued to move towards the starting point.

"Brother Guangting is also thriving, this battle depends on you!" Wang Jingjiu said with a sneer, and then he introduced his chief of staff Yang Yuehui and brigade commander Liu Anqi and others to Du Yuming.

"Don't dare, don't dare. This battle will only be fought if the brothers work together. Du Yuming saluted these people one by one. He immediately said: "Brother Youping, can the mountain artillery in the division be transferred over to cover, right?" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked the mountain artillery, but before Wang Jingjiu could say anything, Major General Yang Yuehui, chief of staff of the 87th Division, shook his head, "Brother Guangting, the artillery shells of the mountain artillery battalion have basically run out, and the ones behind have not been sent up, so I heard that the tanks of your armored regiment have artillery ......."

Yang Yuehui's remarks made Du Yuming laugh, and he said: "But the tank only has a 47mm gun, and the double diameter is not enough muzzle velocity or enough, and the shells that shoot out can't even penetrate thicker walls." ”

"But it's always a cannon!" Wang Jingjiu scratched his head, he really didn't have many shells. "Brother, you don't know, we can be bitter by that heavy artillery regiment, when we want artillery fire, we don't shoot artillery, when we don't attack, the artillery rumbles, and the telephone line is always cut off by the enemy, and the contact is not smooth at all, and we have been fighting for so many days, and we all rely on the mountain artillery in the division to deal with it, but how can we deal with it!"

Wang Jingjiu complained bluntly, and Du Yuming wanted to ask for artillery support again, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth -- from the afternoon attack on August 14 to the present, the 87th Division has been fighting hard for five days, and although the morale of the soldiers is still strong, the losses are also heavy.

"You'd better introduce the battlefield situation first." Du Yuming put down the artillery fire to support the section, ready to understand the situation.

"The current location of our department is in the area north of the Gongda Yarn Factory and Hujiang University, and the Japanese army fortifications are extremely strong, guarding street by street, house by house, and the streets are also full of sandbags and bricks, and there are ironclad trucks in the middle to support back and forth. This is tantamount to saying that the plan that was made to take advantage of the gap has completely failed. "It's all my own people, Wang Jingjiu bluntly told the reason for the failure of the hard battle a few days ago." Now the command means to divide the Japanese long snake formation in front of them into two, first capture Yangshupu, and then enter and occupy the Huishan Wharf on the Huangpu River, which is the ammunition depot of the Japanese army and the landing ground of the Japanese reinforcements. Occupying there will not only boost the morale of our troops, but also cut off the connection between the eastern and western Japanese forces, so as to prepare for the next encirclement and annihilation. ”

Wang Jingjiu's hand pointed south from the Dagong Yarn Factory to the Huangpu River, which was already the American Concession. Du Yuming gasped as soon as he saw the location of the Huishan wharf, and he said: "When it hits the wharf, won't the Japanese navy's naval guns directly bombard the battlefield?" ”

"You don't have to worry about naval guns or naval guns, now the entire battlefield is broken and in a mess, as long as your armored regiment can help me break through the Japanese defense line in front of me, and leave the following things to our infantry." Wang Jingjiu said. He was immediately worried that Du Yuming would not buy it, and then said: "Brother, the two divisions besieged more than 3,000 people for five days without success, the principal is already in a hurry, his phone call directly to my division headquarters, or it won't be long before it will hit the regiment headquarters, this time it's really up to you to save the scene." ”

"I ......" Du Yuming saw Wang Jingjiu looking at him, and the other officers of the 87th Division also looked at him, so he had to say: "Of course, the little brother must go all out and succeed!" It's just that when the tank attacks, the infantry must cooperate in the battle, and our armored regiment has only a few hundred people, and I am afraid that the waves will not stir up if they rush in like this. ”

"I've got a regiment for you!" Wang Jingjiu pulled a colonel officer hard, patted the man's shoulder and said: "Yi Furu, a third-term student in Huangpu, a member of the gendarmerie department, a real good man!" His 522 regiment cooperates with you! ”

Yi Anhua, who was recommended by Wang Jingjiu, did not look like a soldier at all, he was meticulous in his appearance after several battles, but the round black-framed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose made him look like a gentleman or a newspaper editor. Du Yuming really couldn't say anything, and when Yi Anhua saluted, he also saluted back and spit out: "Okay!" ”。

"Happy!" Wang Jingjiu was overjoyed, and he said again: "Brother Guangting, there is nothing to entertain on the battlefield, but no one can snub you, come, let's have a drink at noon, and get drunk again at Huishan Wharf." "The command post is close to Yangshupu, and it is set up in a ruined house, and it is connected to other places. As soon as Wang Jingjiu said to eat, the orderly opened an unobtrusive door, and the smell of wine and food came to his nose.

"Brother Ping, little brother, I don't have to worry about my soldiers." Du Yuming said, he saw that Wang Jingjiu still wanted to persuade something, so he blocked him and said: "The armored brigade was only formed last month, not to mention the soldiers, even I can't remember the names of the officers, and I am about to go to the battlefield, I, the brigade commander, have to go and take a look, cheer up, or ......" He laughed dryly, "If you want to rush in, you will be scattered, that is the crime of killing the head!" ”

Du Yuming's excuse Wang Jingjiu really couldn't shirk it, but fortunately, the attack time was set at twelve o'clock, he immediately curry favor and said, "That's okay, let's cut Huaxiong in Guan Gong, and then drink warm!" ”
