Chapter 8 Tiger Ben
The shadow of war has hung over the land of China.
When the Ariane docked at the Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing, tens of thousands of people had gathered on the wharf, all neatly organized troops. A striking sign was that these soldiers were all wearing German M35 steel helmets, and Li Guang immediately judged that this was probably the most famous German armorer of the Chinese army.
Li Guang saw the real Chinese army for the first time, and these soldiers were all shameless and lacking in fighting spirit as described by the literati. They may not be physically strong, but they are highly motivated. The equipment may not be as good as that of the world powers, but it is already a modern army. And more importantly, Li Guang saw perseverance and fighting spirit in the eyes of these soldiers.
Li Guang knew the outcome of the Battle of Songhu, which was a meat grinder, a hell of blood and fire. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers were killed in Shanghai.
It is difficult to describe Li Guang's mood, he was shocked by the high-spirited army in front of him. This is not a rotten army, this is an army with conviction . Someone once said that an army of faith is the hallmark of a modern army. Li Guang felt at this time that the army in front of him was, and now these warriors were about to go to the battlefield. He's going to do something for these warriors. He almost ran off the boat and quickly found the commander of the unit.
His guess was right, this was China's most elite German armor division, and under the leadership of the guards, Li Guang met Sun Yuanliang, the commander of the 88th Division.
Sun Yuanliang, the general, Li Guang doesn't know much about his deeds, but thanks to his son Taiwanese movie star Qin Han, Li Guang has heard a little about him. When Li Guang saw this general for the first time, he knew why Qin Han could become a movie star. Sun Yuanliang was thirty-four years old at this time, and his appearance was very elegant and handsome, standing on the high place of the dock with the demeanor of a Confucian general.
After learning that Li Guangnai was an overseas Chinese and intended to work in the army, Sun Yuanliang was naturally very happy. Sun Yuanliang said: "Sun is here to thank the overseas children for their patriotism. ”
Immediately made a solemn military salute, and Li Guang also returned a military salute. However, as soon as he returned the gift, Li Guang felt that it was not appropriate. First of all, he was not a soldier, and secondly, the military salute he performed was the military salute of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, and the gestures were slightly different.
But it is clear that Sun Yuanliang does not care about this. Immediately a battalion of soldiers began to board the steamer Ariana and began to unload.
The soldiers are well-trained and move very quickly. In half an hour, three or four hundred tons of canned meat and compressed dry food were unloaded.
"All have ......"
"Standing ......"
"Salute ......"
With a few orders, thousands of soldiers solemnly gave Li Guang a military salute. Li Guang was deeply ashamed that he had only done a trivial thing, and these warriors were about to spill blood on the battlefield, this was the loveliest person.
hurriedly and solemnly returned the salute, this time Li Guang's military salute was much more standard. Sun Yuanliang stood on the high platform and said loudly: "The Chinese family, expel the Japanese invaders"
Immediately, the soldiers in the formation also shouted: "The Chinese family, expel the Japanese invaders." ”
At this time, Sun Yuanliang said: "Welcome Mr. Li to speak for us." ”
Li Guang couldn't say goodbye, stepped forward, and faced the hot-blooded warriors in front of him, most of these people are younger than himself, and how many of these people will be bloodstained in the near future, and how many of them will live to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War? At this moment, Li Guang couldn't wait to tell them everything he knew, they were all good sons of China, and if he could reduce one casualties, he would retain a share of the country's vitality.
But when the words came to his lips, he braked in time. After pondering for a while, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, today I am sending you on the expedition, and I want to say to you that you, only you are the backbone of the country. ”
"For thousands of years, the Japanese have always bowed down to our Greater China. But today it was bullied on our heads. This is a war between nations, a war between nations, and a war for future generations to fight for living space. This battle may be fought for a long time, but if it wins, we will reinvigorate the Han and Tang dynasties. If it is defeated, the country will be destroyed and the nation will be destroyed, and there will be no more China in the world. The nation and the country have reached the most critical moment, and we can only pick up the gun, fight, fight. ”
"Kill Xiao Yueben."
"China is united in its efforts to protect the family and defend the country."
As soon as Li Guang's words fell, the soldiers shouted slogans one after another, and the scene was spectacular, and Li Guang was so excited that he burst into tears, and he couldn't wait to change into a military uniform and go to the battlefield immediately.
The army boarded the ships to the east one by one, and Li Guang said to General Sun Yuanliang: "This is going to Shanghai to fight, our army has no advantage in geography, and I ask the general to pay more attention to building fortifications." Li Guang had no military experience, but he once learned from a friend that a method of building trenches might be of some use to the soldiers. ”
Immediately, Li Guang took out a piece of paper, on which were some diagrams of the construction of the position. There are several ways to construct and use cat ear piercings on it.
Li Guang didn't know much about war except for the little knowledge he gained from the movies. Cat ear piercing, a simple fortification that became famous in later generations, he knew a little. For this reason, Li Guang racked his brains, and together with Xu Zhan, he finally made a diagram of the method of building cat ear piercings, hoping to help China's anti-Japanese war cause. Cat ear hole refers to digging a hole in the side wall of a ditch or dirt slope where you can live. Under normal circumstances, the arched semicircular door is built on both sides of the trench or traffic trench, about one meter high, dozens of centimeters wide, and the depth and length are unequal, the small one is only for one person, and the large one can accommodate three or five people, and its function is mainly used for anti-artillery, hiding, storage ammunition, etc., to provide living space for the soldiers who hold their positions. Larger ones can be reinforced with logs to serve as a battlefield hideout. Cat's ear holes don't require any materials, they can be dug with a few logs, and they are much stronger than the anti-artillery capabilities of trenches.
Li Guang said politely, and Sun Yuanliang took it solemnly, but if he didn't attach importance to it, Li Guang didn't know it. He is a professional soldier, and Li Guang is not sure whether he can value this simple fortification. However, Li Guang is confident in this, and it should not be nonsense that the Vietnam War cat ear piercing in later generations became famous all over the world. He printed a lot of these small pieces of paper, and noted that this tactic must not fall into the hands of the army. At this moment, Xu Zhan had already distributed it to the soldiers.
At this time, Sun Yuanliang's mind was not on the cat's ear hole, but on Li Guang's statement that Shanghai was going to war. At present, the war is raging in North China, but at this time, Chairman Chiang has not yet clearly ordered a war with the Yue army in Shanghai. Moreover, although the 88th Division is now advancing eastward, it only arrived in Suzhou first, and did not receive a military order to go to war. At this moment, Sun Yuanliang only guessed that China would start a war with the Yue army in Shanghai and open up a new battlefield. In this way, the offensive rhythm of the Yue army could be disrupted, and the mechanized troops of the Yue army could be avoided from engaging on the North China Plain.
After thinking about it for a while, Sun Yuanliang found a reasonable explanation. With so many troops on board and down, where else can you go except Shanghai? Shanghai has a devil. Maybe Li Guang guessed it.
