Chapter 26, World War II Water Repair
The recruits each got their own backpack, and some people wanted to open it, but found that the opening was not with buttons, but two saw notches stuck together, and the recruits who didn't know how to open the backpack looked at each other.
After sending out the prepared backpack, someone immediately explained, this thing is called a zipper, it is used in this way, and the things inside are also briefly introduced, and after they are divided into shifts, each squad is divided into a veteran to be the squad leader, let the veteran teach them, and the veteran takes the recruit.
The next day, at half past six o'clock, the wake-up call sounded, and the veterans, who had long been familiar with the wake-up call, got up as soon as they grunted, and dressed each other in the shortest possible time, because even within the specified time, the last assembled company had to run five miles longer than the other companies when they ran in the morning. Therefore, in order to run less, it is necessary to assemble as quickly as possible.
In addition to the veterans, after the wake-up call sounded, the recruits who were recruited yesterday and the recruits who came by air slept one by one with their heads covered, as if they hadn't heard the wake-up call at all, and the veterans who were assigned to the past, listening to the wake-up call, got up with a grunt, and looked at the recruits who were sleeping at the door, and had to wake up one by one.
Some are more obedient, and they get up as soon as they call, but some can't get up no matter how they call, and they can't get up in the bed, so they have no choice but to use the trick of lifting the quilt, lifting the quilt, these people are still not convinced, and the veterans are waiting to look at it, and some of them are angry and beat these recruits directly, and some of them ignore it and leave by themselves.
Running in the morning, tens of thousands of people running are also quite spectacular, at this time Lu Qiang found that the barracks are a little small, not big enough, and cannot accommodate so many people, so it is troublesome to expand the barracks. But for the time being, let's leave it at that, after the division of troops, the scheduled four brigades will be formed and then divided into four barracks, one brigade and one barracks.
From half-past seven to eight o'clock, it was meal time, and the veterans lined up in turn, waiting to receive breakfast, while the recruits were so chaotic and out of order that they had to send someone to arrange them, pull a few troublemakers outside to do push-ups, and deduct breakfast. As soon as the recruits heard the breakfast, they immediately behaved, in their eyes, the world is the biggest meal, and nothing can compare to eating. And they looked at the meals led by those veterans, and their saliva was even more watery, a bowl of thick porridge, a small plate of pickles, a glass of white liquid (milk) that looked very delicious, three meat buns, two steamed buns, and an egg, which is not very good in modern times, but in this era when they can eat enough and eat two meals a day, only the rich landlords eat so well, for them, three meals a day are not to think about it, and one meal of two meals depends on whether the mood of the people is good or not, how can there be such good food.
To run in the morning, recruits only need to run 5 miles, veterans 10 miles, and the last company to complete the assembly 15 miles. The recruits run five miles, tired like dogs, of course, there are some seedlings that are good, just yo write panting, and veterans running 10 miles are trivial, their faces are not red and they are not panting, they have long been used to it.
The early recruits were well fed, and although they didn't run well in line, they were much better than the ones who were still in bed. The one lying on the bed is still in bed, reluctant to get up, this quilt is too warm.
However, there is a punishment for lying in bed, and if you want to lie in bed, the consequences are very serious.
On the other side, early in the morning, the Japanese army organized soldiers to attack Tujiabu, and it was the 102nd Division that attacked Tujiabu. However, the Guo army was different, because they had hundreds of more artillery, but only 50 105mm guns and 25 152mm guns were transported to Tujiabu overnight, and the rest of the artillery was all arranged in Nanchang. 75 artillery pieces were fired in unison, and the Japanese squadron attacking Tujiabu was caught off guard, losing nearly 100 people at once, and then retreated in a hurry.
"Nani, where did the Chinese army get its artillery?" The division commander of the 102nd Division heard the report that the army on the opposite side had many artillery pieces, and immediately frowned, in his opinion, the army on the opposite side should have no artillery, and even if there were, it was only mortars, and it was impossible to have large-caliber artillery.
"Hayi." A Japanese soldier who seemed to be a junior commander nodded his head, which meant to confirm that the other party did have artillery.
"No, where did they get their artillery, didn't their artillery all be destroyed by us?" The division commander said puzzled.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, last night's plane." A person next to the division commander reminded.
"Sweep, it turned out to be those planes, but what kind of plane is that, so loud?" The division commander looked suddenly enlightened, and then looked puzzled. The planes that flew in the sky last night, they could see clearly in Tujiabu, and it was only more than 40 kilometers from Tujiabu to Nanchang, and the sky was still bright when the plane flew to Nanchang, and he could see the flight attitude clearly.
"Division commander, you can hand over this matter to the base camp and let them send the intelligence department to inquire." The man said again, "It looks like it's a kobold."
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you, by the way, notify the artillery behind and let them speed up a little faster." The division commander ordered.
"Hayi!" ……
According to the commander of the 32nd Army guarding Tujiabu, Xue Yue allocated 75 guns to their army, causing him to be unable to close his mouth until now, grinning, seeing that a squadron of the attacking Japanese army was covered by artillery, leaving nearly 100 corpses and retreating in a hurry, it was even more unbelievable, so he immediately ordered, "Order the artillery fire to extend and blow him up." ”
The artillery in the rear, got the order, immediately extended the artillery, to Xiushui bombing, the Japanese army built a few pontoon bridges on Xiushui, under the artillery offensive, it was blown up in an instant, part of the Japanese army who was crossing the bridge, directly fell into the water, the weather was cold, and it was not easy to fall into the water.
Huge cannonballs, one by one, smashed down, anyway, there are many cannonballs. Each cannon is a base number of ammunition, and a base is 60 rounds, that is to say, a gun with 60 shells, and ten base numbers are 600 rounds, which is enough for them to fight.
The artillerymen of the 32nd Army carried shells, and in the cold weather, they were steaming one by one, and they couldn't wait to take off their clothes and throw off their arms to do it.
The artillery was extended, and the shells would plow the Japanese positions that crossed the water, and then blow up the pontoon bridge on the water, and then the shells flew over the water and blew up to the Japanese camp. However, because there is no balloon guidance, and there is no scout guidance, the accuracy is not very good, and there is a suspicion of blind bombing. As soon as the Japanese retreated, the soldiers of the 32nd Army immediately recaptured the beachhead and re-armed.
The recapture of the beachhead was the only piece of good news among all the bad news. Hearing this news, as the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, Xue Yue was very happy and ate an extra steamed bun for breakfast.
"How can it be repaired!" The commander of the 102nd Division was furious, his team not only did not take Tujiabu, but was also run back to the north bank of Xiushui by the other party, it was really unbearable for uncles and aunts, and he killed the captain who was praised by him yesterday, because it was their team that was the first to occupy the beachhead of Xiushui yesterday and stabilize their position, and today, he failed to attack and lost the beachhead, so he was killed by the division commander.
"What about our artillery?" The commander of the division asked angrily, this time he attacked Xiushui, but he made up everything, and he owed a lot of debts to collect more than 200 artillery pieces of various calibers. Mainly because there are too many artillery, there are not enough manpower, it is inconvenient to carry and deploy.
"Report, our artillery is being arranged, and it will probably take about ten minutes to open fire." A Japanese soldier said.
"Hmm." The division commander nodded, he has calmed down now, and now the most important thing is to cross Xiushui, attack Tujiabu, and then go straight to Nanchang.
"Hurry up, dig the trenches, the devils are about to attack." On the south bank of Xiushui, the soldiers of the 32nd Army are urging the soldiers to dig trenches, most of the original fortifications have been destroyed by Japanese artillery, so they have to dig again, but it is much easier, the soil has blown up, and most of the original fortifications are just covered by floating soil.
Clearing the trenches, the fighters of the 32nd Army once again returned to this trench, consolidating the positions of the trenches.
"Fire!" On the Japanese artillery position, accompanied by the Japanese artillery shouting orders loudly in Japanese, more than 200 guns opened fire in unison, the largest was 150mm caliber, the smallest was 75mm, and smashed at the opposite bank.
"The little devil is really ruthless this time." Li Zhaoying, commander of the 139th Division of the defending army, who stayed in the forward command post, looked at the Japanese army's raining shells and sighed, in the past, when the Japanese army fired/artillery, they were fired one by one, and they were all aimed at it, which was very economical, rather than this kind of indiscriminate fighting, and the shells were shot out one by one. "That's right, by the way, let the artillery calculate where their artillery positions are according to the trajectory of the devil's shells, and then knock them all out." He said suddenly.
"Yes!" One of the people next to him answered, and then immediately went to arrange.
In artillery, there is such a group of people, all of them are good at arithmetic, and their role is to calculate the position of the enemy's artillery position according to the landing point of the enemy's shells and the trajectory of the shells, and then use artillery to counter the artillery. In the past, the 32nd Army did not have any artillery, and this group of people was useless, and they were always used as ordinary artillery, but today it is different, they have 75 cannons, so they have their use again.
After receiving the notice, this group of people took a pen and wrote and drew on paper, and a large number of manuscripts were listed, calculating the approximate location of the Japanese artillery position.
On the artillery position of the 32nd Army, there are 75 cannons that are almost regarded as heirlooms by their commanders, especially the 152mm caliber cannons, which are deeply loved by their commanders. The coordinates of the Japanese artillery positions were calculated and sent to the artillerymen, and a group of artillerymen frantically shook the handles, shook the barrels, and calibrated the elements according to the coordinates.
With a "bang", the projectile of the 152 gun was stuffed into the barrel, and then loaded into the cartridge, while the 105mm gun was loaded with a fixed load, and after loading the ammunition, it was directly fired in a burst of straddles, regardless of whether the coordinates were correct or not, because there was no observation sentry, so there was no first shot to try, and a direct salvo was fired.
