726, I took the rank of general from the army of millions
"Quick!"
"Quick!"
Everybody gets busy.
All busy carrying ammunition. Distribute ammunition. Eventually, it will be distributed to every soldier.
Quartermaster Yuan Zhongqi's face was full of smiles.
"Don't fight!"
"No need to rob!"
"Take as much as you want!"
"Hey, Ling Dong, you are also the deputy battalion commander, don't you want to be so greedy!"
"Alas, Qin Shuai, don't waste the bullets......"
"Hey, Zeng Qiang, that's a cannonball! Don't throw it around......"
But gradually anxious.
But it's a bunch of rough people who start messing around.
Someone actually threw shells on the ground. What if it's detonated?
So much ammunition around, in case it is killed. It was a big deal.
Suddenly saw Zhang Chu.
"See the smile, see the smile......"
"How many of them are the battalion commanders of the main battalion?"
"That Ling Dong is the deputy battalion commander of Peng Jianying. That Qin Shuai is the battalion commander of the Huben Battalion. Zeng Qiang is the commander of the Loyal Martyrs Battalion. ”
"Oh......"
Zhang Chu nodded.
I saw it. These people are all fierce people.
All are somewhat similar to the guard battalion of the 25th Division. It's all about the most elite soldiers, all together.
When it counts, they are the decisive force.
Their armament is the best. Fighting is the most ferocious. The sacrifice is also the greatest.
There is only forward, no backward.
Death is with me......
The 25 Division Guard Battalion has changed 57 battalion commanders. Remington was the 57th. I don't know what the situation is now? Are you still alive?
Alas......
"Sir!"
"Sir!"
Several battalion commanders passed in front of Zhang Chu. Stand up and salute.
Zhang Chu nodded and returned the salute.
Then each person was presented with a Colt M1911 pistol.
I took it all.
You're welcome.
For them, these are things outside of their bodies.
At this moment, they are still alive. But after the next battle, he may have already left this world.
Return to Yu Chengwan's side.
Yu Chengwan is using the radio to gather troops.
The town of Mahe is safe, and all it needs to do now is to keep expanding around.
"Smack......
"Slap ......"
Gunshots rang out all around.
There are wars going on all around.
The national army and the Japanese invaders were repeatedly tug-of-war.
The two sides continued to exchange fire.
One after another, a large number of national troops retreated to Mahe Town.
They were all stunned by the mountain of ammunition in front of them. And then ecstasy. Then hurriedly went up to replenish it.
"Take it!"
"Take as much as you can!"
"Take whatever you want!"
"Get it all!"
Yuan Zhongqi shouted loudly.
Zhang Chu listened to the tone of his speech, why was he so like Yuan Lang? Could it be Yuan Lang's ancestor?
"Get it all!"
"Get it all!"
Yuan Zhongqi's face was full of red light.
He's never been so generous.
Five million rounds of ammunition!
Just the amount of one division!
On average, each person can get more than 500 rounds.
I couldn't have thought of it before.
Even the entire 74th Army was rarely replenished with five million rounds of ammunition at once.
Not to mention the 10,000 rounds of shells.
Among them, there were 3,000 shells from 75-mm mountain guns. It's simply a tyrant's no.
"Director Yuan!" Zhang Chu suddenly shouted.
"It's coming, it's coming." Yuan Zhongqi hurriedly ran over.
"Ask you something."
"Brother Zhou, you ask, you ask."
"Do you need submachine guns for your division?"
"Yes!"
Yuan Zhongqi responded without thinking.
Isn't this nonsense?
Who doesn't want a submachine gun?
Submachine guns are so good to make. You can gurgle when you hold it.
The 57th Division is equipped with more than 200 flower organs. A 7.63 mm barge gun bullet was used. It was the fiercest short-term firepower in the division.
It's always been used on the cutting edge.
For example, just broke through the blockade of the Japanese invaders. It's the flower machine that opens the way.
"How many do you have?" Yu Chengwan spoke.
"Is 3,000 enough?" Zhang Chu replied.
"What?" Yu Cheng was stunned.
Yuan Zhongqi was also dumbfounded. Unbelievable.
I thought I had misheard.
How much?
Three thousand?
Three thousand?
Submachine gun?
"You ......" Yu Cheng stopped talking.
But I saw that Zhang Chu had already arranged an airdrop.
We never talk nonsense.
He who says 3,000 to you is to give you 3,000.
Three thousand Suomi submachine guns. Each gun comes with three drums. Scatter bullets are calculated separately. Guaranteed ammunition is more than enough.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
Parcels are falling in a steady stream.
Take apart.
Inside is all Suomi submachine guns.
"Ah......h
Yuan Zhongqi gasped.
Oh my God!
He was really blown away.
3,000 submachine guns at once! That's a lot of work.
"It's ......"
Yu Chengwan picked up a Suomi submachine gun.
It felt a little strange. This drum ......
"Made in Finland."
"Nine-millimeter caliber."
"Seventy rounds of drum capacity."
"The effective range is two hundred meters."
Zhang Chu briefly introduced.
Yu Chengwan walked to the side and raised his gun to the grass outside.
"Da Da Da ......"
Pull the trigger.
First, point shots. Then there is the burst of fire. Finally, all the bullets are gone.
Change the drums.
"Da Da Da ......"
Keep strafing.
Shoot all the bullets in one go.
Hot gases began to come out of the barrel. But it soon cooled down again.
Change the drums.
Keep strafing.
After three drums were played, the barrel did not turn red.
It's hot though. But in general, there are no problems. Serial firing also did not fail.
"Good gun!"
Yu Chengwan said with satisfaction.
Then put the submachine gun aside. Put the drum in place again.
"I'll use this gun in the future."
"Good!"
"Chief of Staff, get those battalions to replace them with submachine guns."
"Yes!"
The chief of staff turned and went.
Zhang Chu also wanted to slip away. It's not customary to stay in the command. It's still fun to go to the front line to kill the Japanese with your own hands.
"Wait......" Yu Chengwan said suddenly.
"What more?" Zhang Chu understated.
"I want to ......" Yu Chengwan pondered for a moment, "light machine guns, mortars, field artillery, ......"
"Do you want a tank?" Zhang Chu responded.
"What?" Yu Chengwan was stunned again.
Yuan Zhongqi: ???
What is it?
Tank?
Do you still have tanks?
What an exaggeration......
"I can give you ten tanks......"
"What tank?"
"Germany's tank number three. Weight fifteen tons. The main gun caliber 50 mm. ”
"Uh......"
Yu Chengwan thought about it.
The third tank of the Germans? Good stuff for sure!
The quality of weapons of the Germans has always been very good.
The question is......
The 57 Division did not have tank troops. No one will operate a tank.
He also did not have the formation of a tank battalion.
In the end, I reluctantly cut my love.
"We won't use tanks. Leave it to the tank troops. ”
"That's fine. Then 500 Czech light machine guns, 100 60mm mortars, 100 82mm mortars......"
"Uh, that's ......"
Yu Chengwan's answer was a little stiff.
It feels like a fantasy in numbers.
So many weapons?
Although, he is already a lieutenant general division commander. However, it is also very surprising that so many weapons come in one go.
Yuan Zhongqi, the quartermaster who was standing on the side, had stars in his eyes.
In addition to ammunition, there are also weapons?
And so many weapons? Two hundred mortars?
It must be known that what the 57th Division lacks most at present, in addition to field artillery, is mortars.
Not a single company can guarantee a single mortar.
However, if Zhang Chu really provides according to the data. That company, at least two mortars. Or even three doors. An artillery platoon can be formed.
This will undoubtedly greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the infantry company.
The Japanese invaders fought so fiercely, in fact, they also relied on grenadiers. A vigorous grenade. Inflicted great damage on the national army.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
A large number of packages fell.
Inside is a large number of Czech light machine guns. It's five hundred.
To say five hundred is five hundred. It's a lot.
Mortars too. A hundred doors of 60 mm, a hundred doors of 82 mm, is also a lot.
The shells were previously arranged. Not for now.
"Thank you......"
"Thank you......"
Yu Chengwan sighed.
That's a big deal!
That's what it looks like!
If he had such weapons and equipment before, he would definitely have conquered Lujiang.
Don't be afraid of any traps!
In the face of absolute strength, all intrigues and tricks are in vain.
Then, Yu Chengwan found a problem. There is not enough space.
The town of Mahe is too small. Can't accommodate that many people. There is no place to pile up weapons and ammunition.
There were too many weapons and ammunition dropped by Zhang Chu, and there was no place to put them.
So the troops were ordered to expand outward. Expand the range of positions.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Da Da Da ......"
Fierce gunfire rang out.
All field artillery, mortars are firing.
Especially those newly distributed mortars, which are even more vigorous. The shells hardly paused.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the fighters launched a counterattack against the Japanese invaders.
Zhang Chu watched quietly.
The south is the first to break through. There was already a steady stream of national troops withdrawing here. It can form a north-south flank attack on the Japanese invaders.
Although Yu Chengwan retreated. But there are troops behind.
The strength of about two battalions, along both sides of the road, attacked to the south, while expanding to the east and west.
The battle went very well.
The vanguard of the Japanese invaders was pressed back.
The submachine guns of the national army are all colors.
"Da Da Da ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
When encountering Japanese invaders, it is like bullets raining down.
The Japanese who rushed up were killed one after another. Where the soldiers said, the corpses of Japanese soldiers were everywhere.
Break through to the east.
Breakthrough to the west.
Break through to the north.
It is worthy of being the elite of the national army.
This 57th Division, the technical and tactical level is still at a level.
After obtaining sufficient ammunition replenishment, the combat effectiveness has skyrocketed, and it is no problem to fight a counterattack.
"Yaga ......"
"What's going on?"
"Yaga ......"
The Japanese commander Shigeichi Hata was in a hurry.
Front-line reports that the Chinese army suddenly launched a counterattack, and the firepower was very ferocious.
The Japanese invaders could not resist and had to retreat.
Shigeichi Harata was a little confused.
Who is surrounding whom? Who is the one who falls into the trap?
Confusion.
Had to retreat temporarily, and then reorganize the defensive line.
"Good!"
"Good!"
Yu Chengwan was very satisfied.
Ferocious firepower is effective. The Japanese were repulsed.
Whether it is in the southeast, northwest, or northwest, the national army has greatly expanded the area of control. The south side, in particular, is almost connected to the original encirclement.
All the officers and men of the national army in the encirclement have all been safely evacuated.
Actually, it doesn't seem necessary......
"Zhou Qing." Yu Cheng wanted to speak and stopped.
"Master, if you have something to say." Zhang Chu's expression was indifferent.
He knew that Yu Chengwan had some concerns.
The main example of Huang Botao is first. He couldn't have had no scruples.
However, with the victory of the battle, Yu Chengwan had fewer and fewer concerns. What do you want to do so much? Defending the country is a matter of course. What is there to be afraid of.
"Shall I telegraph to the military department?"
"Not yet."
"Why?"
"It's a big deal, and it's best to talk to you in person."
"Understood."
Yu Chengwan nodded.
Indeed, the Dharma does not pass on the six ears. Leaks must be prevented.
Regarding the series of battle plans proposed by Zhang Chu, they are all ideas. Whether it can be achieved or not, it's hard to say.
If it is mentioned in the telegram, in case the Japanese Kou deciphers the code......
Or maybe someone from the division headquarters and the military headquarters leaked secrets......
When it came to this, Yu Chengwan was depressed. In his own division, someone actually defected. Let him shine brightly. Deeply humiliated.
"Actually, Master Yu doesn't have to blame himself."
"Why?"
"The Japanese invaded China and planned for a long time, planting countless spies. Even the Ministry of Military Affairs has countless Japanese spies hidden. Many of our strategic plans are estimated to be known to the division commander before the Japanese invaders. This time, the Japanese secretly transferred the 13th Division in advance, apparently after the defection of the divisional staff officers. ”
"Damn!"
Yu Cheng Wan said stupidly.
He didn't feel right either. The army commander Wang Yaowu also sensed that there was a problem.
The deployment of the trap of the Japanese invaders cannot be completed in a day or two. The redeployment will take time. Therefore, now that it is reversed, the Japanese invaders have long known the battle plan of the national army.
"What then?"
"Instant decision. Ad-hoc disposal. So that the Japanese invaders couldn't react. ”
"Exactly?"
"Defeat the Hatada detachment first. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is fake. ”
"Good!"
Yu Chengwan rekindled his fighting spirit.
Indeed, it doesn't matter what traps you have, what conspiracies. I beheaded a general from a million-strong army.
If you come to a detachment, I will fight a detachment.
If you come to a division, I will fight a division.
"Chief of Staff!"
"Here!"
Fang Weihan hurriedly came over.
He was the chief of staff of the 57th Division. Looks a bit like Fang Ligong.
Zhang Chu was a little skeptical. He also has the surname Fang. I don't know if it really has anything to do with Fang Ligong. But there has not been a chance to ask yet.
"Send someone back to Shucheng immediately and bring the supplementary group."
"Yes!"
"Bring in all the troops that can be drawn."
"Including guerrilla columns?"
"Yes!"
Yu Chengwan made a decision.
Each division of the 74th Army was assigned a guerrilla column.
In fact, it is also a third-line army. Although it did not belong to the 74th Army. But the 74th Army had the power to direct them into battle.
The 57th Division also had a guerrilla column.
It's just that these guerrilla columns are poorly armed and equipped, have very little ammunition, and the soldiers have little training, and almost have no combat effectiveness. Therefore, Yu Chengwan didn't bother to use them. lest they lag behind.
But now the situation is different.
Now that Zhang Chu is here, he can provide a large number of weapons and ammunition.
Those soldiers of the guerrilla column can also be added to the 57th Division. In this way, he can increase the number of people to more than 15,000 in one division.
That still makes a big difference. Especially the technical arms. People are desperately needed.
"Understood."
Fang Weihan went to arrange it.
Zhang Chu nodded thoughtfully. was seen by Yu Chengwan.
"What do you think?"
"Each of your divisions has auxiliary combat units?"
"Yes. About five thousand people. ”
"What about the whole army?"
"Commander Wang can command a lot of troops. Including local vigilante groups, security regiments and so on. There are a lot of people......"
Yu Chengwan stopped talking.
He habitually wanted to say that it was all rubbish, useless. Indiscriminate filling is not eligible.
Then the words came to his lips and retracted.
In any case, the situation is different now. As long as people are organized, it will definitely work.
Artillery or something, it needs a lot of personnel assistance.
By placing those who have no combat training in the auxiliary units, those elite soldiers can be transferred to the combat units.
At the moment, it is essential to enrich each infantry company.
"I'll arrange it!"
"Good!"
Yu Chengwan went in person.
The pace is fast. Apparently to buy time.
Zhang Chu was relieved.
It seems that this Commander Yu has gone all out to fight.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
In the distance, fierce gunfire was heard.
Zhang Chu is fine for the time being. So quietly came to the front line.
Here, it just happened to be Peng Jianying's position. They are on the counteroffensive. Attempts were made to expel the Japanese invaders further afield.
"Bang ......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Mortars bombarded continuously.
The Japanese positions in front of them turned into a sea of fire. A blinding burst of fire continued to erupt.
In the firelight, some Japanese criminals were constantly shattered.
That's the battle.
No matter what plan you have, whatever clever plan you have, in the end, it will be up to the grassroots soldiers to carry it out.
Every soldier, every squad, every platoon, every company......
Even down to each gun......
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Zhang Chu opened fire from a distance.
He didn't have a lot of ideas. It's just fighting. Kill all the Japanese who can be seen.
He didn't need to pay attention to the Japanese in the vicinity. Only hit the distant ones. Use Barrett.
"Da Da Da ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
But the Japanese were also very tenacious.
Even if they are delirious after being bombed, they are fighting stubbornly.
Although Peng Jianying is elite and fierce, he can't open the passage in a short period of time. In the grass ahead, the Japanese have already laid mines.
Very professional.
It's vicious.
Minefields were deployed in such a short time.
Demining must be done using sappers.
In the face of the strange and dangerous minefield, Zhang Chu did not dare to hold it up.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
Mortars fired at minefields in an attempt to detonate them.
In fact, it is true that there are mines that have been detonated. However, this detonation is incomplete. There are definitely still missing mines.
No one can guarantee that when they rush through the minefield, no mines will explode.
If it's not good, everyone else is fine, I'll blow you up.
The battlefield is so weird.
Depressed. Accurate.
I want to kill the Japanese criminals.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Zhang Chu ran out of a magazine.
Exactly ten Japanese criminals were killed.
"Ding......
"You killed the Japanese from a distance......
"You get a sporadic reward: a ...... of a domestic 40mm bazooka"
Information keeps coming.
Then I saw that a group of national soldiers had rushed up.
They were the first to go to the minefield. It is also the most susceptible to being blown up by mines. It's almost a life of nine deaths.
"Boom ......"
Sure enough, there were mine explosions.
Two soldiers of the National Army were killed on the spot. Blood spilled on the field.
But......
The soldiers of the national army behind did not hesitate at all, and continued to advance bravely along the ground that their comrades in front of them had stepped on.
"Boom ......"
There were also mine explosions.
Two more soldiers of the National Army were blown up. Obviously, there is more luck than luck.
But......
The soldiers of the National Army in the back continued to bury their heads and rush violently.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
There are constantly mine explosions.
There are constantly soldiers of the national army who are bombed and flying. And then it fell heavily.
But!
But!
The fighters behind continued to rush forward.
Forward and forward.
Selfless.
Finally......
They managed to rush ahead of the Japanese invaders.
"Da Da Da ......"
"Da Da Da Da" ......
Submachine guns fired fiercely.
The national troops behind swarmed up and advanced along the minefield passages that had been carved out.
"Up!"
Liu Manfeng himself joined the charge.
Armed with a submachine gun, he quickly broke into a minefield.
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
A mine exploded next to Liu Manfeng. He was blown up on the spot.
"Ah......h
Zhang Chu couldn't help but call out.
watched Liu Manfeng's body twist in the air, roll in the air, and then fall heavily.
Belch......
"Up!"
"Up!"
Another major popped up. Seems to be Atom?
Right! That's him! He is the deputy battalion commander of Peng Jianying. He glanced at Liu Manfeng, and immediately led his troops to continue to rush forward.
Combat matters.
There is no time to grieve.
"Rush!"
"Rush!"
The soldiers of the national army in the back poured up like a tide.
The Japanese finally couldn't hold it anymore and retreated on all fronts......
