(Fourth change, 180 monthly passes plus more ~~)
Xie Tianlin is forty-seven years old this year, and he is also a fighting year in the army, he is actually not very hard in the backstage of the Northeast General Headquarters, but he has a classmate friendship with the base commander Bo Huanian, but he is the commander of the three major artillery divisions of the Northeast General Headquarters, and the three artillery divisions have the advantage of Zhang Guangnian's heart and soul, he is in this position, and he can't get too close to Bo Huanian, if it weren't for his excellent skills and bringing out too many students, he really wouldn't be able to mix in this position.
The commander of the 102nd Artillery Division, Major General Xie Tianlin, had just walked around the three artillery positions, and he came down, and the state of the artillery was not bad, but there were really not many shells, and there were still three base shells, according to this method of play in the past few days, it would not last for a few days.
He was going to go to the commander-in-chief again, and told him that he was strict, and when he went to him yesterday, he just said a word, he knew, he would find a way, so he sent it away.
Without the cover of heavy artillery, the front-line infantry will be so powerful that the demons whose bodies are too strong to be injured by bullets will be overwhelming.
"Division commander, use rocket artillery." An artillery staff officer walked in and said.
"No! That is in an emergency situation, as a weapon to cover the retreat, their survival zĂ i, the guarantee of the safety of our army. â
Xie Tianlin's artillery division has four artillery regiments, two 155 howitzer regiments, one 122 howitzer regiment, and one 107 mm multiple rocket launcher regiment.
"Report!" A signal soldier with a general command walked in and said, "Division Commander Xie, the commander-in-chief has ordered the three artillery regiments of your department to withdraw from their positions and give up their artillery positions. â
Xie Tianlin frowned and said, "What do you mean?" â
"The artillery brigade in Binh Duong has been mobilized and will enter the position before evening, and the general command means that they can use it first, and the three artillery regiments of our army will rebuild their positions."
Xie Tianlin was not dissatisfied with the surrender of the position, but was a little happy, using Pingyang's artillery, indicating that his shells can also be saved, he said: "Pingyang's artillery is also under our command?" â
"Their artillery is under the direct command of our commander, and you have no command."
"Okay, I see."
Xie Tianlin immediately gave in, so that the three artillery regiments began to give up their positions, not only the artillery who was resting on the position, but also many people from Pingyang and those ubiquitous merchants, these sellers said to these battalion commanders: "This price can't be higher, it's useless for us to ask for copper, we will earn a road fee, and send it back to the Industrial Department to refine copper ingots, five cents a catty, very fair." â
After bargaining, these battalion commanders sold all the already useless mountains of shell shells to these merchants, and exchanged them for cigarettes and liquor.
At this time, there were not many shells left on the position, and the merchant came up to collect the last batch and deliver the goods they wanted, and a merchant commanded the people behind him to pull up four large flatbed trucks, which were full of cardboard boxes and wooden boxes.
"Captain Teng, this is your goods, we have cleared the two." The merchant wore a rag jacket and looked like a shrewd businessman, with a pipe in his mouth, a wooden box in his mouth, an iron tong, and a prie open, saying, "The best canned beef and soybeans are absolutely delicious when poured into the pot and boiled." â
The man with a scar on his face from his head to his chin said: "Okay, you can't do anything else in Pingyang, it's okay to do business one by one, bring the bill of goods, I'll order the goods." â
"Commander Teng, if there are still shell shells, look for me, I will be on the Minfu position behind, absolutely undeceived."
"Well said."
At this time, a staff officer of the division headquarters came over, and Commander Teng saw it, took out a cigarette from a cardboard box that had been opened for inspection, threw it over, and said, "Staff officer Qian, why did you get to the position?" â
The staff officer surnamed Qian looked at the truckload of goods, made a sigh of envy, and said: "Pass the order of the division commander, withdraw from the position immediately, except for the things on our troops, don't move anything else, keep the position as it is as it is, immediately withdraw to 702, gather the people, and rebuild the position." â
Head Teng said, "Why? â
"The artillery from Binh Duong came up, and we gave up our positions and let them be the main support. We have to wait for the replenishment of shells in the rear. â
"Pingyang artillery, it's okay, I'll withdraw."
Staff Officer Qian took two more bottles of wine and returned to the division headquarters, and the merchant shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There is no business now, the Pingyang artillery will recover the shells by themselves." â
Head Teng scolded with a smile: "How much more do you want to earn?" â
The position was withdrawn quickly, because the rear was relatively leisurely Xie Tianlin wanted to meet his colleagues in Pingyang and establish a good relationship, so he summoned the colonel-level officers in the division to wait, and a group of people gathered at the division headquarters to chat, but not long after, before four o'clock in the afternoon, someone came in and said that the artillery from Pingyang had come up.
Xie Tianlin said: "Let's go, go out and see, what does this Pingyang artillery look like?" â
"What else does it look like? They can have a battalion of 155 howitzers already burn high incense, an artillery brigade, maybe some kind of poor sour. â
A staff officer sneered.
But when they came out onto the hillside and looked out at the road, the cannons drawn by the mighty steeds all made noises.
"This cannon is good, look, the barrel of the cannon, it should be a 122mm cannon, but it doesn't seem to be our military standard, I haven't seen it."
"The caliber of that howitzer is a little small, look at it, it's only 105."
"One hundred and five is enough, as long as there are enough shells, you can see that one cannon is followed by two wagons pulling ammunition."
Looking at the long convoy of horses forming a long line, these officers in the Northeast General pointed their fingers, but the contempt in their words had been reduced.
"There are no 155 mm artillery, I remember that the 171st Army once had a mixed artillery brigade, it can't be nothing."
"Don't say it, someone is coming up." A man pointed to a group of officers wearing leather coats and sheepskin jackets not far away, led by an officer with a wide-brimmed cotton hat and a high-spirited officer in his early thirties, who stepped forward excitedly, shook Xie Tianlin's hand, and said, "Teacher! â
Xie Tianlin frowned and looked at this person, looked at it for a long time, and then said uncertainly: "Lin Gengsheng? Lin Gengsheng of the zero session! â
Lin Gengsheng said with a smile: "It's me, I didn't expect that the artillery commander of the Northeast General Expeditionary Force this time was you, teacher, if I had known earlier, the students would have come to visit a long time ago, without you, I wouldn't be today." â
Xie Tianlin looked at the officers who came behind Lin Gengsheng, no one stepped forward again, he asked with some uncertainty and surprise: "You are the commander of this artillery unit." â
Lin Gengsheng stood upright, saluted left and right, and said: "Colonel Lin Gengsheng, commander of the artillery mixed brigade of the Pingyang Army, has seen teachers, seniors, and instructors!" âR1148
