Chapter 33: On the Front

After hearing the cheers from the positions of the opposing Chinese Army, Lieutenant General Koiso Kuniaki's mood turned from sunny to cloudy just like today's weather. The shouts of the soldiers on the opposite side were so loud that even the people on their own positions could hear them clearly, and Koiso Kuniaki knew that the reason for this phenomenon was that only one other side came to reinforce the army.

Yes, the Black Tiger Army has come to reinforcements. It was the team led by Su Tong himself. Su Tong is a lazy person from the bones, although he is very reluctant to the gentle eyes and soft and white hands of the little nurse, but our Chief Su knows that now is not the time to enjoy gentleness, as long as he does not defeat the 12th Division, he will have no chance to live in peace.

As a result, our commander Su had no choice but to bring the 7th and 8th Infantry Regiments and two howitzer regiments and some bits and pieces to the Longmen Station.

"Good commander, good commander"

Su Tong, who arrived at the headquarters of the Fourth Regiment, saw that all the officers above the battalion level in Longmen were waiting for him here, which greatly satisfied someone's little vanity.

"Okay, good, brothers, brothers have worked hard!" Su Tong greeted everyone with a smile on his face. Someone swore that if someone shouted at him now, he would definitely immediately promote him to be the deputy commander of the Black Tiger Army. It's a pity that I couldn't hear the voice I was looking forward to the most after waiting for half a while, so I had to greet everyone and sit down.

"Everyone has done a good job these days, with the strength of two infantry regiments, resisting the attack of one of the opposing divisions, I am very satisfied." Su Tong set the tone first and affirmed the merits of the front-line soldiers, which made everyone's hearts relax. Because it has only been a day of fighting today, the troops have been in danger several times, and they have sent several telegrams asking for help, and now even the boss has come in person, which inevitably makes everyone feel a little worried.

"But" In Su Tong's later life, every time he had a meeting, the boss of the company liked to use this word to make everyone's heartbeat keep accelerating, and now Su Tong has also come to this trick. Seeing the slightly changing faces of the officers made someone's dark heart feel great satisfaction.

"However, we can't be satisfied with this, and we have to keep working hard to drive the little devils out of Chahar." Hearing this, the officers all breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly applauded.

Seeing that these officers were almost beaten, Su Tong also stopped and gave an introduction to everyone: "Come on, everyone knows each other, this is our new head of the Seventh Regiment, Bai Yingliao, and this is Shi Haoxing, the head of the Eighth Regiment, how close and close you are." Bai Ying and Shi Haoxing hurriedly saluted everyone, as for why they saluted people at the same level? That's not easy, who made you the new here.

"As for the two regiment leaders, Li Hai and Wang Yingjie, I don't need to introduce them, you are all old acquaintances."

"Okay, now that everyone knows each other, Commander Wang, Commander Zeng, who of you will give me a briefing on today's battle situation?"

Seeing that the chief had spoken, Zeng Li'an and Wang Li glanced at each other, and then they both humbly asked each other to speak first, until Su Tong slapped the table impatiently and scolded: "What are you doing?" When this is a kiln, you let me let you, Wang Li, you say. ”

Yes, the boss was angry, and Wang Li hurriedly made a simple report on today's battle situation. Su Tong lowered his head when he heard this, thought about it and asked, "Li Jiasheng, how is the situation of your artillery regiment?" ”

Li Jiasheng shook his head: "Today, our artillery regiment is fighting very hard, and the heavy artillery brigade that just arrived is really worthy of being the only strategic-level artillery unit in the Kwantung Army." Their artillery fire is fierce, and our regiment has lost twelve guns today, but they are not much better. ”

"You've lost twelve guns today?" Su Tong couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect the heavy artillery brigade to have such a powerful artillery fire to fight us in the ring after losing all the heavy artillery of 240 calibers, it seems that the original plan has to be adjusted.

"Commander Li Jiasheng, has your howitzer battalion's training been completed now?"

"Report to the chief, the training of the howitzer regiment has been completed, and now they are all qualified artillerymen." Li Jiasheng's report is full of confidence.

"Good, good job" Su Tong nodded with satisfaction. Then he spoke: "Head Li Jiasheng"

"To" Li Jiasheng hurriedly stood upright.

"Now I announce that you will be removed from the post of commander of the 152nd Howitzer Regiment, and Wang Yingjie will take over your position." Su Tong announced expressionlessly.

"Ah" The officers present were all taken aback, although Li Jiasheng's time as the regiment commander was very short, his ability was obvious to everyone, why did the commander-in-chief suddenly remove him? Although Li Jiasheng was also overturning the river and the sea in his heart, he still couldn't see any expression on his face.

Su Tong nodded secretly in his eyes and continued: "In view of your excellent performance in the past, I now appoint you as the commander of the newly established 203 caliber howitzer regiment. Due to the extremely chaotic organization of the artillery regiment at Longmensuo, I have now decided to set up the First Artillery Brigade of the Black Tiger Army, with Li Hai as the brigade commander and Li Jiasheng as the deputy brigade commander and the commander of the 203rd Howitzer Regiment. ”

"Wow" everyone looked at Li Jiasheng with a different gaze now, this officer who had just graduated from the military academy who had just been here for more than a month suddenly jumped to the position of deputy brigade commander, which can be described as a step to the sky. It seems that the commander-in-chief really values this young man, and it seems that he will have to deal with this deputy brigade commander well in the future.

As for Lehi, he was the old man of the Black Tiger Army, and it was no surprise that he would be the brigade commander.

Li Jiasheng's face still had no expression, but the increased heaving of his chest betrayed him. For Li Jiasheng, the feeling of going from hell to heaven is nothing more than that, he is not excited about becoming the deputy brigade commander, anyway, it is a false position. But the commander of the 203rd howitzer regiment is different, it is a veritable heavy artillery. With it, he, Li Jiasheng, can have a good fight with the heavy artillery brigade of Yokoyama Zhenxiong opposite.

In the past two days, due to the large number of artillery pieces in Hengshan Town, Li Jiasheng and Hengshan Zhenxiong had a hard time fighting an artillery battle, and now with this 203 howitzer regiment, he can have a good fight with her.

Su Tong saw Li Jiasheng's excited eyes and reminded: "Deputy Brigade Commander Li, you have to remember that the artillery regiment you led has just been established now, and it does not have the ability to fight a vicious battle. Your task at this stage is to temper them well, let them grow up as soon as possible, not let them consume here. ”

"Yes, I will definitely "temper" them well. Li Jiasheng hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"It's over" and those who are slightly familiar with Li Jiasheng know that this kid is going to be ruthless again, and it seems that those recruits have suffered a lot.

"Alright, now adjourn!" Seeing that everything was explained, Chief Su hurriedly found a place to make up for sleep.

Brothers, the second shift has arrived.
