Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 211
"Hurry, hurry, fuck fast"
The calf crossed his hands on his waist and stood on the side of the road and shouted at the officers and men of the artillery battalion.
In the first battle of Hulu Valley, the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui completely annihilated the main force of the 14th Brigade of the small Japanese independent mix, and captured four 92-type infantry guns plus more than a dozen UUmm and 8hmm caliber mortars.
At present, the artillery battalion of the calf has two 92 infantry artillery companies, plus three mortar companies, which can be described as strong soldiers
The only pity is that the shells are only half the base, but even if there is only half a base of ammunition, it is enough to fight a medium-intensity artillery battle.
It's just that this time the calf brought Tongling only one 92nd infantry artillery company and a mortar company.
As he spoke, the right wheel of a 92 infantry gun broke, and the barrel of the gun, which weighed more than 400 kilograms, slammed to the right, and then rolled down the hillside and bonelessly along the hillside.
When the calf saw it, he was so anxious that his farts came out, and he rushed forward in three steps and two steps.
"How did you do that??" The calf couldn't help but say that the platoon commander who was following the gun was a kick in the buttocks, and scolded, "Didn't eat breakfast or what's the matter?" Damn, if the cannon is good, I'll have to screw off your head as a night pot. β
The platoon commander screamed miserably, and hurriedly rushed down the hill with his soldiers, trying to lift the cannon out of the ditch.
However, the ditch was a little slippery, the platoon commander and a dozen artillerymen spent half a day and failed to lift the cannon out, zuihou once, have already lifted the cannon on the edge of the ditch, as a result of a soldier's feet slipped, as a result, the bulky cannon body swelled and fell back into the ditch, the calf saw on the edge of the ditch and even the lungs were about to explode, and immediately jumped down the ditch.
"Get out of here, get out of the way," the calf couldn't help but say, and pushed the platoon commander and a dozen artillery pieces away.
Then, the calf tied the armed belt on his waist, rolled up his sleeves, then bent down and lowered his shoulders, pressed his shoulders against the gun mount, grabbed the short and thick barrel of the infantry gun with his left hand, and grabbed the door of the infantry gun with his right hand.
The calf carried more than 400 catties of 92 infantry guns, went up to the road in one go, and then gently put it down.
The artillery platoon commander and more than a dozen artillerymen followed up, while changing the wheels, while checking the parts on the gun, fortunately, all the parts were not broken, and the calf was also relieved, but he still trained the artillery platoon commander again, telling him to be careful in the future, and then left in a hurry.
As soon as the calf walked to the front of the queue, he saw Li Zihan turn back.
"Calf, you have to speed up your artillery, otherwise you will lose touch with the big army," Li Zihan said
"Know, know, we'll catch up soon, and you infantry will go your way." The calf replied impatiently.
Li Zihan looked at the artilleryman who was panting, carrying heavy loads on his back, and his feet had begun to slip, and then frowned and said, "Otherwise, I will let the L battalion stay to protect you." β
After all, this has entered the boundary of Jing County, Jing County is the defense area of the First Army, although before the action, Xu Shijiu had already greeted the Third War Zone and the 25th Army, but no one dared to guarantee that Gu Zhutong and Huang Baitao would not have any crooked eyes, in case Huang Baitao looked at the artillery of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui, it was not impossible to suddenly attack.
"I don't need to." The calf refused, "The soldiers are fast, you still step up the march, surround the Chifeng stronghold earlier, our artillery will soon follow, and it won't be delayed for too long, as for Huang Baitao's troops, they may not dare to do it if they are bold, not to mention that our artillery will not only be able to shoot artillery." β
Saying this, the calf is confident, the training focus of the artillery battalion is, of course, to operate the artillery, but in addition to the artillery, the calf did not ignore the assassination training and shooting training, put down the cannon, and the rifle was handled, the artillery battalion was immediately an infantry battalion, and if the first army wanted to eat his two artillery companies, I am afraid it would not be possible to do it without paying the price.
Just be willing to pay the price, don't want to eat two artillery companies in a short time, at that time, Li Zihan had already come back with the troops, if Huang Baitao planned to eat Li Zihan's L regiment together, then the matter would be big, which would mean a full-scale war between the anti-Japanese salvation army and the first army in southern Anhui, Huang Baitao may not have this confidence
(Dividing Line)
The 40th Division of the First Army has begun to infiltrate the territory of Tongling.
So, inevitably, the 40th Division and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui collided together.
Chen Shizhang, acting commander of the 40th Division, hurriedly walked into Huang Baitao's headquarters and reported to Huang Baitao: "Military seat, the forward guard post reports that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui has entered the defense area of our division. β
"Oh, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is now entering your division's defense area?" Huang Baitao said, "Which detachment is it?" β
The relationship between the Southern Anhui Detachment of the New Fourth Army and the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is almost an open secret in the entire three theaters, and in this large-scale combat operation, Xu 19 will not only dispatch his 19th detachment, but also inevitably mobilize Shu Tongwen's Southern Anhui Detachment, so I don't know whether the New Fourth Army will fully cooperate with the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
Chen Shizhang said: "Judging from the number, it is the L regiment of the 19th detachment. β
"The L Regiment of the Nineteenth Detachment?" Huang Baitao frowned and said, "Li Zihan's troops? β
Chen Shizhang nodded and said: "Xu Shijiu is cunning enough, knowing that Li Zihan is a popular man in front of Commander-in-Chief Gu, so he deliberately let him go through our defense area to fight Tongling, in this way, Commander-in-Chief Gu will hate Xu Shijiu again, and he is embarrassed to give an order, let you deal with Li Zihan, but this is not a good thing for us." β
"Yes, if we really fight with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, we may not be able to win." Huang Baitao nodded, and said, "But the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui has a regiment?" β
Chen Shizhang said: "Judging from the number, it is a regiment, and the strength will not exceed 3,000 people, but ......
Huang Baitao's heart jumped, and he asked in a deep voice: "But what?" β
Chen Shizhang said: "However, there are still two artillery companies"
"Artillery battery?" Huang Baitao was stunned for a moment, and then sighed with emotion, "Damn, Xu Shijiu is really having a good time these days, we can't make an artillery company in one army, but his anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, one regiment can make trouble with two artillery companies, this goods have to be thrown away, and people have to be angry to death." β
In fact, not only did Huang Baitao's army have no artillery, but the entire Third Theater did not have a decent artillery.
After the defeat of the Battle of Songhu, the veterans of the third theater of war zone lost more than eighty percent, and the loss of equipment exceeded ninety, and the remaining ten percent was still light equipment, such as automobiles, artillery and other heavy equipment was lost.
Then, after a few battles, all the shells were gone, and the cannons became ornaments.
Up to now, most of the troops in the three theaters have only a few mortars to support their faΓ§ade.
Chen Shizhang's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Military seat, do you want to eat these two artillery companies?" β
Huang Baitao was also a little moved, saying that these two artillery companies had no temptation for him, which was false, these were two artillery companies, a full six Japanese-made Type 92 infantry guns, plus six mortars, although compared with the Yankees' large-caliber howitzers, the guns of the small Japanese were a scum, but now the Yankees' howitzers are not equipped enough in the nine theaters, how can there be excess profits for the three theaters?
If we really want to intercept the two artillery companies of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, the firepower of the first army will undoubtedly be greatly strengthened, at least, it will be much easier to hit the strongholds of various small Japanese in the surrounding areas, the artillery strongholds built by small Japanese are not strong, and mortars are helpless, but in the face of the 92 infantry guns, it is basically the end of one shot death.
