Chapter 261: The Frontline

Director Li ran back in a hurry, gasped and said, "Deputy Brigade Commander Huang, I just asked, the weapons left in the arsenal are mainly six or five calibers and seven or nine calibers, which one do you want?" ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang looked at Hu Yixuan with an inquiring look, after all, they were the ones who used weapons. Company Commander Hu was still wondering whether to accept the appointment just now, and his mind was confused. The deputy company commander next to him hurriedly pushed him and whispered, "Deputy Brigade Commander Huang asked us what caliber of weapons we wanted!" ”

Company Commander Hu blurted out: "Of course it's seventy-nine caliber!" "To be honest, the 79th caliber is not necessarily better than the 65th caliber, but the 36th Division has always used the 79th caliber, and of course it is more convenient to use this.

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang waved his hand and said, "Then it's seven or nine calibers, just the same as our old troops!" ”

Director Li said, "Okay, I'll send someone to carry it." ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang said: "No, you just need to open a certificate, I have a car!" ”

Under an inconspicuous hill, groups of soldiers are busy coming in and out. From time to time, boxes of supplies are brought in, and at the same time, supplies are constantly being moved. A little farther away, there are armed troops on guard, and if you look closely, you can even see anti-aircraft artillery positions.

No wonder the defense is so tight, because this is the largest arsenal of the 97th Army on the south bank. Most of the weapons and equipment in the warehouse were captured by the soldiers on the battlefield, and some were collected from the hands of the defeated soldiers. Of course, the fighting on the south bank was fierce, and not much equipment was captured, and a large part of it was sent to the front line by the 35th Brigade after it was captured in Xinxiang.

The arsenal is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are not many people nearby. It looks very desolate. The sentry looked around, bored. Suddenly, a military vehicle came at a rapid speed in the distance, and rushed until it was close before pressing the brakes and stopping.

"Stop! What for? Watching the driver swagger out of the car and come over, the sentry unceremoniously raised the submachine gun in his hand.

The driver hurriedly handed over a note and said, "I was ordered to come and pick up a company's equipment." ”

The sentry took the note and glanced at it, only to see that it was written: 120 79 caliber rifles of class A, three base ammunition, grenades......

"Yo, point out that it wants Class A. It's a big face! The sentry said with some surprise. Depending on the degree of damage to the weapon. The weapons in this secret arsenal are divided into three categories: A, B, and C.

Category A is equipment that does not have any damage and is more than 80% new; Category B is also equipment that is not visibly damaged, but is relatively dilapidated; Category C is equipment that is damaged, but can still be used. Category C and below will be scrapped directly. Even if there is a repair value, it can only be sent back to the base area.

The driver smiled. He handed over his documents. Unlike other units of the 97th Army, this document draws a large piece of donkey meat burned.

This is a secret mark unique to the 33rd Brigade, and the sentry smiled. said: "No wonder, the whole army counts your face!" "As the number one main brigade of the 97th Army, the 33rd Brigade does enjoy a lot of preferential treatment, such as material distribution and personnel replenishment. Although other troops are dissatisfied, their achievements are there, and they can't fight for it.

A sentry soon called in a large group of "porters". They quickly loaded the required supplies onto the carriage and quickly camouflaged them. This camouflage is very necessary, because at the moment the sky is completely occupied by Japanese aircraft. Once the car is discovered by enemy planes during driving, it will be the end of the car being destroyed and people killed.

"Thanks, buddy!" The driver happily threw down a pack of seized Japanese cigarettes. The sentry was overjoyed to take it, and it was not easy for a soldier like him to smoke a cigarette.

Woo...... The car sped all the way to the shelter quickly, but luckily there were no Japanese planes along the way. Hu Yixuan and the others were waiting with their eyes open, and the soldiers always felt uncomfortable without guns, and now they saw that the arms had arrived, and they hurriedly moved them from the car and distributed them.

"Company commander, they're all good guns!" A platoon commander took a mid-shot rifle and pulled the bolt to try it out with great satisfaction.

Hu Yixuan was also a little surprised, in his memory, the miscellaneous army was generally made of Hanyang. Where did the Ninety-seventh Army get such good equipment?

"Company commander, this is for you!" The deputy company commander had sharp eyes, and at a glance he saw the officer in the box wearing a gun, and hurriedly picked out the latest German-origin barge gun and handed it over.

Hu Yixuan took a look and said with some excitement: "Yo, good guy, it's still a fast and slow machine!" "Officers generally like small pistols, and the bigger the officer, the smaller the gun. However, there are exceptions, such as the spear commanded by Chief Xu, which is a fast and slow machine, because this gun is powerful enough.

"Hey, you guys, hurry up, you still have to go to the front line!" One of the officers waited a little impatiently.

Company Commander Hu hurriedly said: "Yes, sir! "The training of the 36th Division was reflected at this moment, and the soldiers finished training and distributed their weapons, and stood in formation.

Seven or eight military vehicles drove over, carrying Company Commander Hu and them galloping eastward. In addition to the group of old subordinates led by Hu Yixuan, there were also some scattered defeated soldiers in the car, with a total of more than 200 people. Deputy Brigade Commander Huang told him that these people would be members of their fourth company in the future, and asked him to bring his subordinates.

Company Commander Hu said in surprise: "Sir, are there so many people in one company?" "At that time, the national army was a small company system, and a company was generally about 100 people, and some even only had 80 or 90 people. Mainly because of the lack of technical equipment, there are no more riflemen.

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang said: "What are more than 200 people? The Dalian system practiced by our army has more than 300 people if it is satisfied! If you're lucky, you'll be able to replenish three melons and two dates when you get to the position. ”

Hu Yixuan was surprised and delighted when he heard this, although he graduated from the sixth phase of Huangpu, he really had never commanded a battle of more than 300 people!

Whining...... A rush of trumpets was heard, followed by a dense burst of gunfire. Deputy Brigade Commander Huang shouted: "Concealment, concealment!" Enemy aircraft raid! ”

Several military vehicles rushed headlong into the wasteland on the side of the road and stopped. Hopefully, with the help of the terrain and camouflage, you can escape.

As soon as the car stopped, Deputy Brigade Commander Huang quickly got out of the car. He also shouted loudly: "Get out of the car quickly, evacuate in shifts, quickly!" ”

Hu Yixuan also realized that it was extremely dangerous to continue to stay in the car, so he hurriedly jumped out of the car and ordered the troops to evacuate and hide. Air defense on the plains was indeed a very troublesome matter, and as soon as the fighters threw themselves in the grass, a Japanese plane with bright red logos on its wings swooped down.

Da Da Da ...... Rows of bullets flew weeds, and a few bombs were thrown down, and the breath of death rushed towards him. But the warriors were powerless to fight back, so they could only lie on the ground and pray for the Bodhisattva's protection.

Call! The Japanese plane finally flew away after raging for a while, but I don't know if it didn't find the target of interest. Or is it because of the lack of fuel and ammunition.

The fighters struggled to get up from the ground. Gasping loudly. That scene was so terrible that no one wanted to go through it again.

"Vice-seater, you're fine!" A guard helped Deputy Brigade Commander Huang and asked worriedly.

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang stood up straight, waved his hand and said, "It's not a big problem." It may be that the movement just now was too big and twisted to the waist. ”

Hu Yixuan also hurriedly walked over. Said with concern, "Sir." Are you injured? ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang said: "It's okay, take your people and continue to move forward, the front line is still waiting for our reinforcements!" ”

Hu Yixuan hurriedly said: "Yes." Sir! ”

He just wanted to salute, but was stopped by Deputy Brigade Commander Huang. Deputy Brigade Commander Huang explained: "In our 97th Army, it is not allowed to salute the commander on the battlefield, unless you look at this person unpleasantly. ”

Hu Yixuan was puzzled: "Why is this?" I also ask the chief for advice. ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just don't want to be a target for the little devil." ”

When Hu Yixuan heard this, he suddenly realized. Speaking of which, the 36th Division also received some sniper training at that time, but the 77 Incident came too suddenly, and the sniper units of several German armament divisions were not formed, and only the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps had one, but it fought with the Japanese army in the Battle of Songhu.

"Quick! Get in the car, get in the car, and follow up! Company Commander Hu neatly gathered the troops back together and caught up with the car.

Just as the convoy was about to start again, something went wrong, and a driver shouted: "Passenger seat, no, our car has been broken." ”

Another driver also rushed to report with a sad face, saying: "Passenger seat, my car was also damaged by the little devil!" ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang was so angry that he scolded. It turned out that although the Japanese machine was not deliberately destroyed just now, it was raining bullets at that time, and two cars were still hit. Now there is no place to repair cars in the wilderness, and the front line is still waiting for reinforcements, what can I do?

"Who among you can fix cars?" Deputy Brigade Commander Huang asked tentatively, but he didn't hold out much hope. After all, in this era, there are not many people who have seen cars, and even fewer who can repair cars.

"Report to the sir, I, I'll fix the car!" A small soldier under Company Commander Hu stood up eagerly.

When Deputy Brigade Commander Huang saw that it was still a tender baby, he was a little unconvinced, and said, "You? ”

The little warrior nodded vigorously and said, "Sir, I really know how to fix cars!" ”

Lian Commander Hu said: "Sir, Xiao Zhang is an overseas Chinese in Nanyang who used to be an apprentice in an auto repair factory. ”

Deputy Brigade Chief Huang was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay!" Xiao Zhang, do a good job, if it is repaired, I will ask the military seat for credit to you! ”

This Xiao Zhang is really powerful, and after finding a few tools and knocking for a while, he repaired a broken down car. As for the other one, because the large parts were damaged and there were no parts to replace, there was nothing that could be done for the time being.

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang said happily: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not bad to fix one!" ”

The cars used by the 97th Army now are all obtained from the Japanese army and the national army, and there are less than 30 cars in total. Due to the lack of corresponding maintenance capabilities, there is one less broken one, and the number of available cars is drastically reduced. It's a joy to find a mechanic now. In contrast, breaking a car is not a big deal.

The fighters squeezed, and the troops moved on. The farther east you go, the closer you get to the front line, and you can faintly hear the sound of gunfire. Shortly after the soldiers had fled from the battlefield, they immediately became nervous when they heard this voice.

"Stop, get checked!" The convoy was moving when a roadblock suddenly appeared in front of it, and a group of soldiers was on guard nearby.

"How's the situation at the front?" When Deputy Brigade Commander Huang saw it, he recognized it as a soldier of the 33rd Brigade and stuck his head out of the car window to ask.

"Report to the subordinate, the Japanese have just launched their fifth attack." A platoon commander hurriedly came to report and said, "Lieutenant, brigade said that if you arrive, please go back immediately." ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang nodded, continued to set off with the convoy, and soon arrived at the Toon Camp on the Longhai Line, which is currently garrisoned by the 33rd Brigade. This is the same as Guo Duozhai garrisoned by the 34th Brigade, which is a key point of transportation east of Sanyiji. As long as these two places were held, the Japanese army would not want to reinforce the trapped 14th Division. Of course, don't think about chasing the large forces of the national army.

"Traveler, I'm back!" Deputy Brigade Chief Huang relieved Hu Yixuan's company and hurried back to the headquarters.

Zhao Yunxiang nodded and said, "Get another company of reinforcements?" ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang smiled: "Well, count our luck, we will be from the 34th Brigade one step late." ”

Zhao Yunxiang laughed a few times, frowned again and said, "Cough, one company is still far from enough, I'm afraid we're in big trouble this time!" ”

Deputy Brigade Commander Huang was taken aback and said, "The little devil has increased his troops again?" (To be continued......)
