Seeing the rout team slowly becoming vivid, Feng Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't want to get a bunch of soldiers who resisted in his heart to go to the battlefield, so that at least they could give full play to their original combat effectiveness.

"Talent! Let's go to the mountain artillery team first, we have a lot of mountain artillery now, but no one uses it! ”

Feng Yi praised the brothers who opened their mouths, and with a wave of his hand, he solved the problem of the conflict of artillery.

The communication corps, the engineers, the baggage corps, the transport corps, the artillerymen, the doctors and other various arms are completely separated, of course, this is only the technical arms, most of the soldiers can only play with rifles, machine guns, just stand in place and wait for Feng Yi's order.

"Battalion Commander Meng, you are still the battalion commander of the battle defense artillery battalion, you organize these brothers to go to the side to rest quickly, and after eating something, I will issue you with war defense artillery, the devil's tank is very arrogant, I hope you can fight a few more devil's tanks."

"Battalion Commander Gao, I didn't expect you to be an artillery commander, I don't want these old Japanese mountain guns, how about sending you the American M1 Type 75 mountain guns?"

The artillery is a little small, less than 400 people, Feng Yi's dream of getting an artillery battalion is about to be shattered, although there are more than 30 mountain guns in the warehouse, but there are not so many soldiers.

"Commander Feng, our cannon can still be used, and there are more than 100 shells, which can give the devil a ruthless blow; As for the American-style mountain cannon you mentioned, of course it's good, we can use as many as you have. ”

Gao Yushu was happy in his heart, and his consistent spirit of thrift still made him unbearable to abandon these old Japanese-style mountain cannons that followed him all the way.

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, in the warehouse of Lashio, we have now found more than 30 M1 mountain guns, which is more than the mountain guns of an artillery regiment, just such a few people, are you sure you can use them?"

Feng pointed to the artillery team of less than 500 people, he hated bragging officers, because this would make him miscalculate at a critical moment.

"No problem, the ammunition hand and the person in charge of the plough can be replaced by other brothers, just these people, enough to use those mountain guns, at least enough aiming, loader, and inspirer."

Gao Yushu puffed out his chest, he was not lying, but telling the truth; In fact, on the Chinese battlefield, it was not the lack of gunners that limited the growth of artillery, but the lack of sufficient artillery.

"How many more brothers do you need?"

Feng Yi frowned, he didn't intend to turn all these people into artillerymen.

"American 75 mountain guns, the crew of six people; The shells of the Japanese mountain artillery were used intensively, and two were enough to make these shells; So at least five hundred more people are needed. ”

Gao Yushu frowned and said what he needed.

"The defensive line on all sides of Lashio is very empty, and now Lashio has no reserves at all; You plan the use of mountain artillery according to the existing artillery, and when there are more people, they will replenish you. ”

Feng Yi shook his head, he roughly calculated, the communication soldiers, engineers, baggage soldiers, transport soldiers, doctors and nurses can't move, their role is not as simple as taking guns to the battlefield, there is no shortage of equipment here, these people account for more than four hundred people; There were less than 1,500 brethren left, and the mountain artillery and anti-war artillery accounted for nearly 800 men, and there were only four companies of brethren who could replenish the position, and even these four companies were not yet fully formed.

He even planned how to use these four companies, drawing one company from each of Min Fei and Wang Ning's troops, and then two companies from the 87th Regiment, and then supplementing these four companies, so that with the two platoons withdrawn from the assault team and the guard company, he had at least enough reserves on his hands.

The complicated reorganization work was soon over, and instead of distributing equipment to these distributions immediately, Feng Ye asked them to eat something first and have a good rest; At this time, the battle in the south has already begun, and he needs to pay attention to how the fight in the south is.

To the south, looking at the craters in front of him, the devil officer frowned, although the danger of mines is basically eliminated now, but the movement of the chariot has become a problem, relying entirely on the infantry to attack the position, how many brothers have died here?

"Strike! Two chariots will cover you, be sure to find the defenders' fire points on the position; Of course, I don't think there is anyone on the opposite side now, and even rats can't survive this bombardment......"

Wing Commander Hideharu Matsui of the 113th Wing defended his line with telescopes and let his troops attack. 61 Library

"Woo woo woo ......"

The engines of the two Type 97 tanks roared, the top covers of the tanks were opened, and he needed to observe the situation in front of him and remind the driver to turn at any time.

"Devil attack, two tanks; Inform the anti-aircraft artillery to blast out the devil's tank for me. ”

Chen Haiquan shouted, the range of the battle defense gun is four kilometers, these tanks are completely within the range, but the gunners will generally choose to fire within one kilometer, so that their accuracy and accuracy will become more reliable, and now, the position where the devil tank appeared is still seven hundred meters away from the position, Chen Haiquan feels that the battle defense gun can be shelled.

"Commander Chen, let's take down the devil tank."

Behind the position, the officer's line of defense telephone, looking at the officer.

"His female horse's, more than 800 meters, how to fight? Let the devil's tank get closer. ”

The officer cursed, and was not ready to fire, although there is no shortage of shells now, but the most important thing in the battle defense artillery to hit the tank is to take it by surprise, it is best to fight when the tank is not prepared, and when the tank is prepared, it is very difficult to hit the tank.

Of course, they now have fixed fortifications in front of them, and the tanks can't rush in, so he just needs to guard against the counterattack of the tank guns, as long as the luck is not too bad, he believes that the battle defense guns are not so easy to be hit by the devil's tank guns; This is not Tangji, and the fortifications here are much better than Tangji.

"Didi ......"

In the Fifth Army, after Du Yuming received Feng Yi's telegram, he only replied with an order to hold on, and no new orders came.

Now Du Yuming is also very busy, he has to keep urging Liao Yaoxiang to increase the intensity of the attack, and he has to be distracted by the 96th Division's blocking battle, the 18th and 55th Divisions of the devil caught up after dawn, and now the Fifth Army has intercepted in front of the pursuers, and soldiers are killed in artillery fire every moment.

"Commander, call from Chongqing."

Du Yuming reported the news of the retreat of the 66th Army to Chongqing, and now the telegram from Chongqing has finally arrived.

"Call back and tell the call sign of the Chongqing Feng Yi Department."

Du Yuming frowned, he knew that the leader's old mistakes had been made again; Now if you want the call sign of Feng Ng's department, it must be that he wants to interfere in the command of the defense of Lashio, and use the name of the leader to make Feng Que feel important and let him defend desperately.

"Didi ......"

The battle south of Lashio began, Feng Ye did not bring troops to reinforce the past, he now has too little intelligence, he doesn't know where the 200th Division and the Fifth Army have gone, he just hopes that there will not be too many devils around him.

"Commander, call from Chongqing."

The telegram handed over by the communications staff officer surprised Feng Ye very much.

"It's Chongqing, that's right, I just confirmed with Chief Du."

The communications staff officer looked at Feng Yi's puzzled gaze, indicating that this was indeed a telegram from Chongqing.

"Feng Ye is hereby appointed as the commander of the Lashio garrison, and all troops passing through Lashio shall be under the command of your department, and if there is any disobedience, they may be court-martialed, and it will not be reported; Wang Zhaozhang gave full play to the spirit of Whampoa, defended Lashio, and left a way for our tens of thousands of expeditionary troops to return to China......"

Behind the telegram was the signature of the principal Zhongzheng, Feng Ye knew that this was a telegram sent by the leader himself, and it seemed that the Fifth Army was trapped behind enemy lines, which had aroused his special attention, and he could not give up his lineage, which was his usual practice.
