Chapter 44: Cannonballs and Canned Meat!

Just when Wu Wen, the head of the 770th Regiment, was about to teach the 218th Regiment a lesson.

The 1st Battalion of the 218th Regiment gradually approached the transport convoy protected by the 1st and 2nd Battalions.

"If you get closer, they'll stop you and force you to walk in."

"But be careful, don't shoot without my orders."

The commander of the 2181st Battalion came out of the Central Teaching Battalion, a hardcore fruit faction, eager to kill all the other troops and let the Three People's Principles spread all over the country, but he is not stupid.

Knowing that you can't just shoot and cause conflict.

It's not that I'm afraid of causing conflict.

In fact, the top management does not care whether the conflict is caused by their own people, and even encourages the conflict, and even has a reward for winning, and it is not a dream to be promoted and rich.

But the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was obviously more garrisoned than his battalion, and the equipment was not bad, there seemed to be a lot of machine guns, and there were also a lot of grenadiers.

If you fight casually, it's easy to get beaten.

And if you lose the battle, the superiors will immediately turn their faces, and the hat that causes conflicts and destroys the war of resistance will be buckled.

However, this time, he was supported by an artillery battery.

As soon as he gives the order, three 82 mortars can quickly support.

"Yes."

The men nodded in unison.

"But don't be afraid."

The 1st battalion commander continued:

"Get close to their supplies."

"There's meat, there's canned food, there's rice and white flour."

"Whoever grabs it belongs to whom."

As the words of the first battalion commander fell, some soldiers of the 218th Regiment swallowed their saliva in unison.

But there were also some soldiers with frowns.

"Up."

The commander of the first battalion did not care what his subordinates thought, and immediately ordered the troops to continue to approach.

···

The other side.

"Commander."

"The commander of the 770th Regiment of the Eighth Road is here."

"I said I was here to deliver a letter."

In the headquarters of the 218th Regiment, a guard reported to the regiment commander.

"Let him in."

The head of the regiment, who had an imported cigarette from the United States in his mouth, waved his hand and motioned for someone to come in.

···

Outside the camp.

"The head of the regiment let you in!"

"But..."

The guards of the 218th Regiment glanced at Rowan's guards, and when they saw the twenty-shot barge gun and a string of bullet belts, their eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw at a glance that this was a pure imported barge gun, a pure imported bullet, and immediately said:

"Guns stay."

"Firearms are not allowed in the camp."

"Guns?"

The guard flashed.

But thinking of the words of the regiment commander, he did not resist, but honestly unloaded the gun.

"And bullets."

The guard of the 218th Regiment pointed to the bullet belt and said.

The guards were covered with pure canvas cowhide cartridge belts and magazines, with a hundred scattered rounds, and five magazines.

It's all the best quality.

"Okay!"

The guards still honestly unloaded the magazines.

"Search."

After the guards of the 218th Regiment got the pistols and bullets, they were still not satisfied and asked their subordinates to continue to search their bodies.

After all, the quality of the eight roads in front of him, the quality of a military uniform is much better than the material of their regiment commander's clothes, and the soles of his feet are still army shoes, and the quality of the regiment commander's cowhide military shoes is not comparable.

At first glance, he is a rich man.

Come to think of it, there must be valuable goods on you.

It's just that the final search result is that there are only a few pieces of currency issued by Balu on this person, about a dozen yuan.

There was not a single silver dollar.

"Let's go inside."

With a wave of his hand, the guard stuffed a dozen yuan into his pocket and motioned for the guard to enter.

Before entering the barracks, Rowan guard took a deep look at the guard of the head of the 218th regiment, which is equivalent to the regiment commander guard, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

···

"Battalion commander, they're coming!"

"About seven hundred people."

"There are no heavy weapons."

The 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 770th Regiment were stationed.

A reconnaissance platoon commander reported what he had found through a walkie-talkie.

A battalion of the 218th Regiment came.

"As soon as you get closer than a kilometer, warn."

After the commander of the first battalion issued the order, he continued to issue orders to the two battalions, as well as to the regimental artillery artillery units:

"Artillery preparation."

With the order of the commander of the first battalion,

Two 120 heavy mortars belonging to the regiment.

In addition, the 1st Battalion had three 82 mortars, the 2nd Battalion had three 82 mortars, and the regiment had six 82 mortars, a total of 12 82 mortars, and the gun groups of 12 82 mortars began to arrange their gun emplacements.

A total of fourteen guns of various calibers were pointed to the left of most of the 1st Battalion of the 218th Regiment.

···

The formation of the 218th Regiment was close to the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 770th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and there was a distance of 1,000 meters from the transport team.

"Military camp, no approaching."

A few dozen meters away, a signal soldier holding a signal flag, and several vigilant soldiers stood up.

"Battalion Commander..."

The soldiers of the 218th Regiment looked at their battalion commander.

"Keep going."

Looking at the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in front of him, the commander of the first battalion of the 218th Regiment sneered in his heart.

What is familiar is the attitude of the Eighth Route Army,

Because of the lack of strength and the lack of bullets, they did not dare to shoot first, and it was just a verbal warning, which was meaningless.

The strange is that

The clothes of these Eighth Route Army are also too good!

The commander of the first battalion of the 218th Regiment stared at him.

He saw it clearly,

The clothes in front of these big-headed soldiers are actually better than his, and the quality of the shoes on their feet is even envied by him.

"Then you will bear the consequences."

The soldiers of the 770th Regiment left this sentence and quickly retreated.

But they heard the words of the commander of their own battalion,

After the verbal warning, if you continue to get closer, then direct shelling warning.

And it's a cluster shelling.

Fourteen artillery pieces, including two 120 heavy mortars, had seen the power of this kind of artillery in the field battle with the Devil's Gun Tower not long ago, and a wing of the Devil's Gun.

If one shot goes down, no matter what formation it is, no matter how dispersed, unless it is completely dispersed, regardless of the loss of combat effectiveness, most of the reimbursement for a squad will be properly reimbursed.

Who knows what the skills of those guys who just got their hands on the gunslingers?

If you hit yourself, you will die too unjustly.

"Run!"

Because of panic, the squad leader who served as a guard even urged him to run away loudly.

"Hahaha..."

This scene made the officers of the 218th Regiment of the Central Army couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, this is the Eighth Route Army?"

In particular, the commander of the first battalion of the 218th Regiment laughed proudly.

"Silly fork."

The soldiers of the 770th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army also sneered in their hearts, and their steps slipped faster.

"Keep going."

After laughing for a while, the commander of the first battalion of the 218th Regiment of the Central Army continued to order the troops to advance.

But at the beginning, the troops did not advance quickly, and cautiously,

Including a battalion commander.

Obviously, the warning just now is valid.

But when the troops advanced for more than 100 meters and there was still no movement, the commander of the first battalion of the Central Army became bold and said loudly:

"Look, the Eighth Route Army can only talk about it..."

As soon as the words fell.

With a sharp and familiar whistling sound,

Boom Boom · ·

On the flanks of the 218th Regiment of the Central Army, explosions rose violently, and a full 14 shells burst out of fierce gunsmoke.

Suddenly

The commander of the 1st Battalion of the 218th Regiment was like a duck that had been choked by the neck, his arrogant and smug words were suddenly stuck, and the expression on his face changed from smug to fearful.

"Are they coming really?"

"Actually use the cannon directly!"

"Aren't they afraid of hitting us?"

"Aren't you afraid of starting a war?"

He was in disbelief at first.

And then there is the rage!

But anger immediately turned to fear.

Deep fear,

"They have so many artillery!"

All the shells fell at the same time, which means that there were as many shells as there were guns.

"And heavy artillery!"

Fear grows.

The commander of the first battalion of the Central Army found that there was no heavy artillery on the opposite side of the Tuba Road, and its power was much greater than the devil's 105 artillery.

Because the nearest shell was only a hundred meters away from the battalion under his command, or rather, from his headquarters, and the dirt that was kicked up even splashed on him.

This is the Eighth Route Army?

This is fucking more powerful than a devil.

"Withdraw!"

With deep fear and panic, the commander of the first battalion of the 218th Regiment of the Central Army hastily led the retreat.

"Our battalion commander is finally at the front."

In the middle of the team, a Guojun officer said in a disdainful tone.

The 218th Regiment also fought with devils.

He has repeatedly repelled the attacks of a large group of fruits.

But in the battle, their battalion commander only knew to let them charge, never led them to charge, and always hid in the rear.

"It's still the Eighth Route Army."

"There are so many artillery."

"What's more, I heard that they captured three devil wing flags, including the Sakata Wing that overthrew two divisions in the Battle of Xinkou."

"So powerful?"

"Really?"

"The newspapers have come out, and there are photos of the devil's wing flag on it, as long as you spend a dollar, you can still step on the devil's team to take pictures!"

"Stepping on the devil's flag to take pictures?"

“···”

The topic is getting lively.

Limited by the blockade of preserved fruits, it is difficult for grassroots soldiers to know Xinhua News.

But if you want to completely blockade it, it is almost impossible, and there are always a few people who know.

The commander of the 1st Battalion of the 218th Regiment, who was frightened, obviously had no regard for the discipline of the troops, and ran back to the camp in a hurry.

···

"Hahaha..."

On a high ground in the distance, looking at the fleeing Central Army in front of them, the vigilant soldiers of the 770th Regiment who had just run away laughed heartily.

···

"Report to the head of the group."

"The people of the Eighth Route Army brought it."

Just when the guards reported to the commander of the 218th regiment.

The sound of a violent explosion was heard, attracting the attention of almost everyone.

"What's going on?"

"Send someone to take a look."

At this time, the commander of the 218th Regiment was not nervous.

Even if there was a direct conflict with the Eighth Route Army, he was not afraid.

He's the Central Army.

Although it is not a core lineage, it is not a German mechanic, but the equipment is not bad.

But he still had some doubts in his heart.

Why the explosion?

Artillery units opened fire?

Or a grenade?

Or a dynamite pack?

"Send someone and ask, what's going on!"

"Also, make the second and third battalions combat-ready."

He commanded.

"Let the people of the Eight Roads come in."

Then, he let the guards of the 770th Regiment walk in. (End of chapter)
