Chapter 415: A New Surprise

After people reach a certain level, they often become high-end and atmospheric, so the big names in film and television works are all magnificent, joyful and angry. However, people are still human beings after all, and they have to eat grains and grains, and they have seven emotions and six desires. When it comes to the fundamental interests of the major factions, everyone can't care about being gentle and humble. Even a good old man like Master Liu had to go into battle shirtless and compete.

In this dispute, the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger. I don't know who started first, but several bosses suddenly quarreled, and one by one they pointed angrily, gritted their teeth, and were angry, and then slapped the table and smashed the bench. The guards and orderlies were stunned, and the two trembled. The chief of staff of the left had a good heart, and waved his hand to signal them to go out first. So the people fled out of the courtyard in a hurry, as if they had been pardoned. Far away, you can still see the sound of quarrels inside.

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more angry, Mr. Peng was also angry, and suddenly snorted angrily, threw his hat and strode out. The left chief of staff hurriedly followed behind to persuade. Several bosses in the house looked at each other, but after a pause for a few seconds, they began to argue again, accusing each other of being "narrow-minded", "mountain-minded", and "not having a sense of the overall situation".

"Boss, boss!" Chief of Staff Zuo hurried up and said to Mr. Peng: "Everyone is competing for materials to better develop the anti-Japanese force, don't be angry!" ”

"Hmm!" Mr. Peng nodded and said, "I know the way, so just avoid it and let them quarrel." ”

The chief of staff of Zuo pointed at Mr. Peng and smiled: "Wow, even the boss has learned to play tricks!" ”

Mr. Peng didn't argue, just smiled slightly. However, his two eyebrows were too murderous, and they were raised at every turn. He also looks serious when he laughs.

The left chief of staff said with emotion: "It's also a good thing to make a noise. Usually, if there is any contradiction, it is better to put it on the table than to mumble behind it. It's like two people, quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, and it's good if there is no overnight feud. ”

Mr. Peng quipped: "Why is it involved in the two of you again, are you thinking about your little daughter-in-law again." After saying that, the two laughed together.

In the afternoon, we had dinner together. Mr. He asked, "Why hasn't Lao Cheng arrived yet, do you want to send someone to pick him up?" ”

The left chief of staff said: "Oh, no. Just now, I sent a telegram again, saying that I was going to Ping'an County and would come back tomorrow. ”

Everyone nodded. I don't know what Lu Dao is thinking.

Mr. Peng asked, "You have also been discussing it for so long. Did you come up with a result? ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't make a sound.

Luo Changzi explained: "At present, there are three plans, one is proposed by Mr. He. The 115th, 120th, and 129th divisions each received one division of equipment. The heavy artillery of military dependents is directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters. Form a heavy artillery regiment. ”

Mr. Peng nodded. Noncommittal, he asked, "Well, what else?" ”

Luo Changzi continued: "Mr. Nie thinks that it is up to Jin Sui, Jin Chaji, Jin Ji Luyu, Shandong. It is good to divide the four equally. Mr. Lin also thinks so! ”

Mr. Peng smiled: "Okay, in the end, it's an old partner, and at this time the united front is coming again!" Everyone laughed.

Luo Changzi also said: "Division Commander Liu and Political Commissar Deng believe that after dispersion, a joint force cannot be formed, and a main force under the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters should be formed. ”

Mr. Peng nodded again and said, "Well, several plans are good, but there are pros and cons to each!" ”

Mr. Nie asked, "Mr. Peng, what is your opinion?" ”

Mr. Peng spread his hands and said, "What can I say?" I can look at a few plans, anyway, no matter how I divide it, my share is indispensable! ”

Everyone laughed helplessly.

The next day, Political Commissar Cheng finally rushed from Ping'an County to Heishuihe Village. As soon as he came, he was surrounded by everyone, some asking for assistance, some asking for support, some negotiating alliances, and those running military schools. Not only in the army, but also in the localities, many comrades came to hear the news. For example, the southern Hebei side hopes to invest in the Bank of Jizhong and jointly set up a Hebei Bank.

Political Commissar Cheng finally broke free, waved his hand and said: "Comrades, don't worry, come one by one, one by one." ”

Mr. Peng spoke, saying, "Don't be around first, if you have something to talk about, report to Director Luo first, and the time will be arranged by the headquarters." Then the crowd dispersed.

Mr. He stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Political Commissar Cheng's shoulders and said, "Let's go, let's talk in the house first, it's windy outside!" ”

Political Commissar Cheng stopped, pointed to the car outside and said, "There are some good things, do you want to take a look at them first?" ”

Everyone was stunned at first, and then suddenly woke up, and said happily: "Look at it!" ”

The carts were pulled with samples of the weapons supplied this time. There are dozens of 9-mm barge guns, dozens of MP28 submachine guns, dozens of Ma Sihuan rifles, several Czech ZB30 light machine guns, several Czech ZB37 heavy machine guns, several Surotong 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, and two Bailu 47-mm anti-aircraft guns.

Mr. He pulled it casually and said with some disappointment: "What about the cannon?" ”

Political Commissar Cheng explained: "It's still to come, I was worried about revealing the news, so I didn't let them enter the village." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested and asked to see it. So the group mounted their horses again and hurried towards the back of the mountain. Mr. He saw that these guns were not bad, and was about to try two shots, but he was left behind and shouted anxiously. At a valley, five guns, large and small, were lined up. A small force is on guard in the vicinity.

The sentry saw that Political Commissar Cheng had brought someone over, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Report!" Deputy Commander Cheng, the second batch of cadets of the Artillery Section is on duty, please instruct! ”

Political Commissar Cheng waved his hand and said, "Uncover the cannon clothes and let a few bosses take a look!" ”

"Yes!" Several artillerymen hurriedly removed the camouflage net from the artillery, untied the gun jacket, and several hideous-looking guys were suddenly revealed. Several bosses surrounded them in surprise and rubbed their hands affectionately.

Mr. Peng asked: "Lao Cheng, what are these cannons, you explain them to everyone!" ”

Political Commissar Cheng said with a smile: "Let's let the students of the artillery section introduce them, they are more professional than me." ”

The five guns were the German-made 1913 75mm mountain gun, the 1908 Krupp 75mm mountain gun, the Krupp 1903 75mm field gun, the FK16 75mm field gun, and the 1916 105mm light field howitzer. That is, the batch of artillery sent to the Eighth Road this time, and Political Commissar Cheng specially brought it over as a sample.

Several artillery scientists are like a treasure. Articulate and eloquently reported the performance parameters of several guns. The more the CEOs listened, the happier they became, and they asked questions from time to time. Most students can answer the question.

Mr. He observed very carefully, and suddenly found a strange pattern engraved on the barrel of the Krupp 75mm mountain gun in 1908. ”

The artillerymen were stunned for a long time, but they couldn't answer. In fact, they had not been exposed to these guns before, and they were still in the internship stage. It's still far from mastering. For the history of artillery. Anecdotes or something, of course, I don't know anything.

Political Commissar Cheng stepped forward to take a look, and was also a little dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "I remember that I used to like to carve some dragons on the cannon." Tiger or something. This bird should be a phoenix painted by Westerners! ”

Commander Nie held his chin and looked at it for a while. Shaking his head, he said, "Well, I don't think it's a phoenix, but an eagle!" ”

"That's not the case with the eagles. I think it's a pheasant! ”

"No, it's a crow!"

……

Political Commissar Deng waved his hand and said: "Don't guess, no matter what kind of bird it is, the one that can hit Little Japan is a good bird!" ”

Everyone laughed and said, "Yes! ”

Seeing that Mr. He was always staring at this mountain artillery, the chief of staff of Zuo couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. He, everyone is rare 105mm howitzers and 75 field guns, why do you keep staring at this mountain artillery?" ”

Mr. He touched the mountain cannon and said, "Oh, you don't know what to do, I feel fate when I look at this cannon!" ”

Everyone laughed and said, "You saw that the cannon was unlucky?" ”

Mr. He took a sip of dry tobacco and said, "I mean really, I'm not joking with you. I think that at the beginning, our Second Front Army also had two Keshi mountain artillery, if there was no such artillery, it would be impossible to say whether it would be able to kill northern Shaanxi! ”

During the Red Army's Long March, they climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands, and lost all their heavy weapons, but the Second Front Army was lucky enough to bring a mountain artillery to northern Shaanxi. Several CEOs present at this incident were all knowledgeable, and when they remembered the difficulties of the year, they suddenly felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.

The two guns of the Red 26th Regiment were captured in 1935. At that time, the Red 26th Army left Hunan and moved to Hubei. Chen Yaohan, commander of the Hubei Army Column of the Nationalist Army and commander of the 58th Division, mobilized two brigades of troops to intercept them, but was severely damaged by the Red Army's concentrated superior forces. The 2 Shanghai-made Krupp 75mm mountain guns of the 58th Division Mountain Artillery Battalion were also captured by the Red 26th Army Corps. One of the guns was damaged due to poor storage, but the other successfully reached northern Shaanxi despite many difficulties and dangers. Moreover, this cannon has also made many special achievements during the Long March.

On June 14, 1935, the Red 26th Army and the 41st Division of the National Army fought fiercely in the Zhongbao area of Xianfeng County, Hubei Province. The 41st Division was also a relatively capable unit at that time, and the division commander Zhang Zhenhan was a high-achieving student who graduated from the second artillery department of the Baoding Army Military Academy.

After encountering a surprise attack by the Red Army, Division Commander Zhang Zhenhan immediately commanded to seize the advantageous terrain and hold on to the danger. They preemptively took a few hills and fought back with the stone bunkers used by the local population to defend against bandits. The Red Army charged several times, but was routed by the light and heavy machine guns of the Nationalist army.

At that time, Division Commander Zhang Zhenhan personally rushed to the front line and encouraged the officers and soldiers: "Brothers, don't be afraid, we are guarding these bunkers, and nothing goes wrong." The Red Army did not have artillery, it could not be moved. ”

Sure enough, the Red Army fired several shots at these pillboxes with mortars, but it had no effect at all, and only blew up some of the rubble from the pillboxes.

Master Zhang shouted proudly, "Brothers, we're right. The officers and soldiers of the country also cheered.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Red Army's Shanghai-made Krupp 75mm mountain gun suddenly opened fire. The first shot was missed, but the second shot killed a pillbox in an instant. The bunker was smashed into a pile of rubble, and only a soldier covered in blood crawled out of it.

When the officers and men of the neighboring countries saw this, they could not help but be so frightened that they threw away their guns and ran backwards.

Zhang Zhenhan was also frightened, but he still shouted strongly: "Brothers, don't be afraid, the Red Army will only have 2 or 3 shells, just top one." ”

As a result, the gun turned its muzzle and aimed at the pillbox where Division Commander Zhang was. Only one shell accurately hit the pillbox where he was located, and the division headquarters of the 41st Division was torn off on the spot. Zhang's chief of staff was killed on the spot, and Zhang Zhenhan was wounded by shrapnel in the head and shoulder. The blood flowed like an infusion.

At this point, the 41st Division lost its effective command over the ambushed troops, and its morale was even brighter than that of mountain artillery. In addition to more than 2,000 people who broke through by luck, more than 2,000 people were eaten in an instant, and the division commander Zhang Zhenhan himself was also captured!

Interestingly, this division commander Zhang later marched with the Red 26th Army Corps and also worked as an artillery instructor at the Red Army University. Historically, Zhang Zhenhan went to Wuhan for medical treatment 37 years later, and since then he has left the revolutionary ranks. But in this time and space, he was taken to Jizhong again, and he is now serving as an instructor in the Jizhong Artillery Section.

After the elimination of the 41st Division. The Red 26th Army ambushed the 85th Division of the Nationalist Army at Chestnut Garden. More than 3,000 people of the 85th Division rushed lightly. Only 6 mortars were carried. In the absolute disadvantage of the terrain, those who were bombarded by the Red Army mortars and mountain artillery were hardly able to fight back.

After the division commander Xie Bin was injured by a shell, he knew that he could not break through and shot himself. Most of the division's more than 3,000 men were killed or wounded. The rest were captured more than 1,000 people. All 6 mortars were captured. Because I saw the power of the Shanghai-made Krupp 75mm mountain gun. Mr. He ordered on the spot, no matter how difficult it is, he must bring this mountain cannon.

Commander Nie sighed for a while. He asked again: "He Huzi, is the cannon still there?" ”

Mr. He said regretfully: "The cannon is still there, but there are no shells for a long time, and they are all used up during the Eastern Crusade." ”

Commander Nie squeezed his eyes and said, "That's it, you like mountain artillery so much, then my share of mountain artillery belongs to you, and your share of field artillery belongs to me, how about it?" ”

Mr. He glared at him angrily, and everyone laughed. Mr. He said to the artillery trainee next to him: "Little ghost, you just said that this cannon is better than the little devil's Siyi Mountain Cannon?" ”

The student hurriedly replied: "Even if the firing range is a little shorter, it is stronger than the 41-type mountain cannon in other aspects, lighter in weight, and slightly more powerful." ”

Mr. He was very happy when he heard it, and even said: "Good, good, good!" He also proposed: "Comrades, it is the mule that comes out and the horse to slip around." How about we bomb the fuck with two shots? ”

Several CEOs were a little moved when they heard it, but Director Luo objected and said: "No, it's too close to the Pinghan Line here, and it's not fun to let the little devils hear the movement." ”

Mr. He said disapprenously: "When the little devil comes, he will fight!" ”

The chief of staff of Zuo smiled: "What about the distribution of materials!" When Mr. He heard this, he suddenly lost his temper. The group watched for a long time, watching the artillerymen rehearse entering the position, measuring the range, adjusting the target of the shooting, and withdrawing from the position, and stayed until it was time for lunch before reluctantly going back.

On the way back, Commander Nie saw that Mr. Lin hadn't said much, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want?" ”

Mr. Lin frowned tightly and said in a low voice: "Do you have any good artillerymen there, can you lend me two?" It turned out that when he saw the artillerymen practicing just now, Mr. Lin was dumbfounded when he found that there were no qualified artillerymen under him.

During the Red Army's Long March, the Red Army spent a lot of time walking on barren land, and the soldiers carrying mortars were easily collapsed due to the arduous march with a weight of dozens of kilograms, and the mortality rate was extremely high. After the end of the Long March, there were not a few artillery fighters left in the Central Red Army. Although the 115th Division commanded by General Lin was the first-class main force of the Eighth Route Army, there were no gunners.

Historically, the 115th Division ambushed a small Japanese army in Shandong and was lucky enough to capture four artillery pieces. Two of them were extremely rare Italian field guns in China at that time, but no one in the whole army could use them, and they were forced to sink into the lake after the last time. Many old people are still talking about it many years later, saying that the paint on the barrel of the cannon is black and bright and can shine a human shadow.

Commander Nie thought for a moment, and said with some pain: "Cheng!" But you can't give it for nothing, one person for a cannon! ”

Mr. Lin said angrily: "You, you are taking advantage of the fire to rob!" Hmph, I didn't say anything! With that, he left in a huff.

Commander Nie stretched out his hand and said, "Hey, you can't change a mortar!" He shook his head with a smile and followed him into the compound. As soon as I entered, I saw Mr. Peng excitedly grabbing Commissar Cheng's arm and saying, "Old Cheng, what you said is true!" ”

Political Commissar Cheng grinned bitterly and said, "Boss, borrow me a few guts, I don't dare to lie to you!" ”

Commander Nie said curiously: "What's wrong?" ”

Chief of Staff Zuo said excitedly: "Zheng Huzi plans to give us two divisions numbers!" ”

Commander Nie patted his thigh happily and said, "It's a good thing, I'm thinking about what name to use for the new unit!" It's so much easier to have a security guard in the name of a security guard! ”

Director Luo smiled: "Hehe, Mr. Nie guessed wrong this time, not a security guard!" ”

Commander Nie was stunned for a moment and said, "What is that?" Guerrillas? It won't be a temporary editor! ”

Political Commissar Cheng smiled: "It's not, it's the number of the regular army, the 105th and 108th divisions of the National Revolutionary Army!" ”

"What?" Commander Nie stood up in shock and said excitedly, "Isn't that the number of the Northeast Army?" Zheng Huzi is willing to give it to us? ”

Political Commissar Cheng smiled: "What is reluctant, don't forget, the commander is also our comrade!" ”

Chief of Staff Zuo thought for a moment and said: "The numbers of the two divisions are naturally a great thing, that is, will there be any ideas on the side of the Northeast Army?" I'm afraid the chairman won't be able to get through! ”

When everyone thought about it, they all nodded yes. However, when I thought that it was the division-level number of the two regular armies, my heart became eager again. I think about how hard it took to get the numbers of the three divisions out of the chairman's hand before the reorganization of the Eighth Route Army. Three divisions developed into what they are now. What about two more divisions?

Political Commissar Cheng said: "There must be some trouble, so the commander plans to form a corps and choose a person who everyone agrees with to be the army commander, and the division commander is too, and try not to make the identity of the party member public." ”

Mr. Peng's face gradually became solemn, and he nodded and said, "Well, this is a solution!" However, our Eighth Route Army headquarters can't be the master, so we have to ask Yan'an for instructions. ”

Political Commissar Cheng agreed: "Well, this is a must. ”

In Yan'an, Taizu was holding a piece of freshly dyed cloth and smiling happily. The cave was filled with several comrades from the Ministry of Supply. Mr. Zhu and Director Ren suddenly rushed over, and shouted outside the hospital: "Chairman! When I came in, I saw a lot of people and said with a smile: "Yo, it's really lively here!" (To be continued......)

PS: It's a little early to fight for tomorrow!
