Chapter 241: A Magical Connection
Today is 28 February, because the Japanese offensive has just been crushed by China a few days ago, and the Japanese side has suspended all offensives. Only occasionally there are some small shootouts.
In order to boost morale, Cai Tingkai, commander of the 19th Route Army, came to the position of the first company early in the morning to supervise. In this Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, the first company was very brilliant, and more than 100 soldiers were indeed the company with the fewest casualties and the greatest achievements of the 19th Route Army.
In particular, the machine gunner of their company, Jin Sanpang, was particularly outstanding, and since the Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, no less than 50 Japanese soldiers have died directly under Jin Sanpang's machine gun.
The entire company killed and wounded hundreds of Japanese soldiers, and the most amazing thing was that the first company from the company commander to the platoon commander did not die in a single sentence, and it was the only company in the whole division, and the platoon commander was a sound company, which was nicknamed the magical company by the whole Shanghai anti-Japanese army.
Therefore, the first thing Cai Tingkai, the commander of the 19th Route Army, thought of as soon as the war stopped, was to come to the company of the magical company to condole, and he wanted to take a good look at why the brothers of the first company were so magical.
The soldiers of the company who got the news from the army commander had already dressed themselves up brightly, their hair was cut, their faces were washed, and the soldiers of the whole company wore the latest cotton clothes and pants provided by Huaxing Company.
If it weren't for the fact that the position was full of ruins and broken walls, there were several houses emitting black smoke from time to time. Who would have thought that this was once one of the battlefields of Sino-Japanese contention.
Cai Tingkai looked at the completely different spirit in front of him, and nodded incessantly: "Good looks, they are all rare good guys." ”
Commander Cai stepped forward to shake hands with the soldiers of the first company one by one, and many soldiers who had not shaken hands with the senior officer were excited to see the commander come to express his condolences in person.
"Who among you is Jin San Fat?" Cai Jun asked loudly.
"Report to the military seat, I am." A young soldier with a machine gun immediately replied.
"Very good, a good young man, I heard that there are more than 50 Japanese soldiers you directly destroyed, and dozens of people are wounded. You didn't lie about your exploits, did you? Commander Cai asked jokingly.
"Commander, you look down on people too much. I, Jin Sanpang, am now the platoon commander of a company of machine guns, and I don't dare to pack a ticket if I want to say anything else, not to mention that in our 78th Division, when I wanted to compete in the whole army of the Northeast Army, I represented the 7th Brigade and won the first place in the whole army. ”
The more Jin Sanpang spoke, the more excited he became, and he was happy to tell his glorious history.
"Oh, really?" When Commander Cai heard this, he was also interested, and he wanted to know which general didn't want his subordinates to be all soldiers, and the more the better. If it was really as Jin Sanpang said, there was no need to say that such a person would dare to form a machine gun company to counterattack the Japanese army with a hundred people.
"Of course it's true. Don't believe me, I'll give you two shots? As soon as the machine gun was mentioned, Jin Sanpang immediately came to his senses.
Under the coaxing of the soldiers next to him, of course Commander Cai couldn't sweep everyone's Yaxing, and he specially approved Jin Sanpang to perform his accurate machine gun shooting in front of everyone.
The commander of the first company gave Jin Sanpang a magazine of 30 rounds on the spot.
Jin Sanpang was not ambiguous, looked at the ruins of the Japanese army in the distance, pointed to the only intact window in a building more than 200 meters away, and said:
"The commander looks at the window in the distance." After speaking, I saw that Jin Sanpang didn't aim, but just put the machine gun flat on his waist, pulled the trigger, and fired three shots, and the window two hundred meters away was immediately shattered.
At the same time, everyone seemed to see a dark figure falling to the ground in response to the sound in the window. In order to show their marksmanship accuracy. Jin Sanpang shot a whole shuttle of bullets. Almost all of the thirty rounds were in that window.
Seeing that Jin Sanpang's machine gun was really so accurate, the soldiers around him burst into applause. No one noticed that at a high point in the position, two Huaxing special combat team members made surprised noises from their mouths.
"Wow, this Jin San Fat is so lucky, those three shots just now just killed our target." Said a man with a telescope in his hand.
At his feet lay another special operator, who was looking at the window in the distance through the scope of a sniper rifle in front of him, with his eyes open and closed.
At this time, in that window, a strangely dressed Japanese agent died in this house, throwing a sniper rifle with the same scope in front of him, similar to the Huaxing special combat team member opposite.
At the same time, Commander Cai, who had just rewarded Jinshan with two pieces of fat, was even more interested, and he called the company commander: "I heard that other companies are half recruits and half veterans, but your company is all veterans, and there are all over the country, is it true?" ”
"Report to the army commander, I didn't know this situation at first, when we fought with the Japanese on the first day, we were short of guns, and even less bullets, and when the cannon of the small Japanese rang out, we didn't even run slower than other teams.
Who knew that after we got the arms replenishment of Huaxing Company at noon, the recruits of our company fought better than our veterans, especially when we counterattacked in the afternoon, we also captured two Japanese infantry guns and dozens of shells.
And we also have Yan Laoxi's soldiers here, and the artillery was only accurate, and later we exchanged fire with the Japanese army repeatedly, and his artillery support was increased. We can achieve the maximum results at the least cost. ”
When it came to the soldiers of his own company, the commander of the first company was also proud, if it weren't for the fact that he had Jin Sanpang and artillery talents under his command, they would probably have suffered heavy casualties like other companies.
Now even the Japanese on the other side know their company's history, and every time they attack, they are pretending, but they are not the frame that rushed forward desperately at the beginning.
"Oh? So, you guys are really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, who is this artilleryman? Call it out and show me. "Commander Cai knew that the most lacking thing in various units now was artillery, and he didn't expect that there would be such talents here in the first company.
"Liu Erniu, you come out and show the military commander." A company commander shouted into the ranks.
Soon a five-short, inconspicuous soldier came out of the back row of the line.
"I heard you hit it accurately?" Commander Cai asked.
"Report to the military seat, before I became a soldier, I was an artillery worker in an arsenal in Shanxi, and I can shoot all kinds of artillery. Later, he offended the factory director and was fired by the factory director. This is when we arrived in Shanghai.
I didn't expect it to become your soldier, I don't dare to say anything else, just talking about artillery, I promise, you let me blow up the enemy's arm. I'm not going to break their legs. Liu Erniu really dared to say it.
"Oops, you're fat and you're gasping. Who let you talk to the commander like this. The company commander gently kicked Liu Erniu's ass.
Commander Cai was also in a good mood, so he naturally didn't care about the big words of the soldiers. However, he still wanted to test whether Liu Erniu was bragging.
He looked at the Japanese position in front of him, and there was nothing worth firing. He pointed to a low house in the distance.
"Do you see the low house in the distance? I ask you to shoot a shot, but you can only hit the back of the low house, and you can't blow it up, I'll see what tricks you have? ”
Commander Cai deliberately made things difficult for Liu Erniu, because the infantry guns were all direct guns and small curved guns, and it was impossible to hit the back of the house with infantry guns at such a close distance.
Who knew that this Liu Erniu really agreed, but I saw that he quickly returned to the team, found two more soldiers, and after a while, he brought out a large-caliber mortar from the back of the team.
Then Liu Erniu skillfully installed the mortar, adjusted the attack angle, and then calculated the launch distance with his fingers. I looked at the wind direction in front of me again.
I saw that he quickly took out a shell and threw it into the mortar, and with a bang, a mortar shell was fired at the Japanese position.
With a bang, a puff of white smoke rose from behind the house on the side of the Japanese position, and the house was really unharmed. With such a divine accurate shelling, Commander Cai also nodded again and again.
Then, Commander Cai once again made an enthusiastic speech to the officers and men of the whole company in front of the position, and several Chinese and foreign reporters next to him recorded this rare scene throughout the whole process.
When Commander Cai satisfactorily inspected the positions of the First Company, and when he left for other positions to offer condolences under the greeting of the First Company, the two members of the Huaxing Special Combat Team at another lookout post in the First Company's positions had already opened their mouths wide, and their faces were full of incredulous expressions.
"Is it Cai Jun's long life that should not be extinguished? Or this company is really amazing, the cannon just now just hit a group of artillery that the enemy was preparing to sneak attack Commander Cai.
They're setting up two mortars behind that low house, and I'm trying to remind you to kill them.
It's good now, we didn't need to make a move, Commander Cai casually pulled out two soldiers and walked away and killed two groups of Japanese assassins, this luck is too rebellious, right? The lookout said incredulously. "Okay, where is there so much nonsense, wouldn't it be better not to use us to make a move, so that our hidden spot will not be exposed, maybe it will be more important in the future, send a letter to the boss, it's safe here." Now it's up to Chiang to command what is going there. The sniper said.
At the same time, Yanagi Hachiro had arranged for two groups of members of the Royal Guard to assassinate Commander Cai in front of the position today, and his task today was to personally preside over the assassination of Chiang's command.
Just last night, news had come from their inner line hidden in the Shanghai government that this morning Commander Chiang was going to General Zhang Zhizhong of the Fifth Army to offer condolences.
And this street is the only way for the convoy to pass, although there will be a company of soldiers close to the commander of Chiang. However, Yagyu Hachiro thought that even if there were a few more companies, Commander Chiang must have been killed.
Because for today's assassination, he once again prepared ten dead soldiers with explosives tied to their bodies, and they will hide them on both sides of this street in batches. As soon as the convoy passed by, they would rush forward, pull off the explosives on their bodies, and the convoy would be killed.
On this trip to Shanghai, they came with a total of 50 dead soldiers, and they had already sacrificed 10 people when they attacked Huaxing Airlines, and now they have to sacrifice 10 people, but the results they have achieved are very brilliant.
Thinking that as long as he killed Commander Chiang, Ueda Kenkichi would have a national first-class hero medal promised by him, the Koga ninja who regarded honor above life all rushed to complete this task.
In the end, Yagyu Yayu handed over this glorious task to his best friend. He was confident that they would succeed in this mission, and even if their first attack failed, they would have a second wave.
Hachiro Yanagi stood in the building on the side of the street, looking at the grenades that had been bundled in front of him, and smiled grimly.
