Chapter 104: Brother Pao's Family
Brigade Commander Zhang walked down the front line of the trenches with his brothers, not a minor injury. More than a thousand casualties in his brigade were almost repelled from the scale when he left Sichuan. But no one laughed at them because there were Japanese devils several times more than that in front of their positions.
When he first came to Peking City, Brigade Commander Zhang also wondered why the hundreds of thousands of troops nearby were the 29th and 17th Army one by one. After seeing such a unit, Brigade Commander Zhang often spat after they walked past and said to the people around him in Sichuan dialect: "What's so arrogant?"
But now that he walked down from the position, Brigade Commander Zhang and his brothers were also infected with this arrogance. We were not defeated, but replaced by the Japanese who won the battle. If we were not convinced, we would go and see the corpses on the ground in front of the Japanese who were fighting.
Fan Shaozeng, a brigade of Fan Shaozeng, the fourth division of Sichuan Army trainers, came to the front line to supervise the formation. Every time Fan Shaozeng walked a while, he said, "Everyone has seen how the 1,22nd Division hit the hammer just now, what did I say?"
The following said in unison: "Our brother will never put on his belt with diarrhea."
Fan Shaozeng took a gun and hat and said, "Okay, this is what you want - people are in the position."
Fan Shaozeng’s troops waited for the left and right, but the Japanese waited for the division’s kitchen soldiers before they could come. “People are iron, rice is steel, and they are hungry if they don’t eat for a meal. Commander Fan, which one do you eat canned braised pork or canned pork?”
"Ge, I can't eat it." Fan Shaozeng snatched two open cans, one of them took a bite. On the other hand, the chef-born cook took out a handful of spicy food and scattered it into the can: "Teacher, you have to eat this way to taste."
The Peking Military and Political Department has transported the biscuits and cans to Chengde this month, and the kitchen team has nothing to do to change careers and transport the biscuits and hot water from the back as soon as the meal is over.
The Sichuan Army soldiers were not spicy, so they invented the way to eat spicy food with two biscuits. As for the canned food, considering the taste of the Sichuan Army, most of the canned foods are canned foods from Sichuan cuisine. However, since they were not Sichuan peppers, everyone felt that they were not satisfied, so they still used spicy foods to eat them.
The front line is rarely quiet for a while, and Wang Mingzhang also returned to the city to visit Brigade Commander Zhang who had just retired. Wang Mingzhang took off his hat and walked to Brigade Commander Zhang and said, "Old Zhang, you are right. I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry brothers."
"Captain, stop talking. If you hadn't asked us to withstand the last five minutes, our brigade would have collapsed. How could it be like now... Besides, you sent all the guard battalions to me, if the Japanese who rushed up from their submachine guns could have died so quickly."
Wang Mingzhang grabbed the hat with his right hand and said, "I am guilty. I owe everyone the military pay. I have owed the most fourteen months. I usually only pay half of the military pay at most."
Brigade Commander Zhang comforted him and said, "The commander wants to be more open, which one of the Sichuan Army does not owe any wages."
Wang Mingzhang gave himself a mouth and said, "Old Zhang, our Sichuan Army has been fighting for more than 20 years, which is embarrassing. Look at what those people think of us when we enter Peking. Look at us like a country bumpkin. Our Sichuan Army can't make a comeback without fighting a few tough battles. We can't lose our lives, Lao Zhang."
"Captain, I understand. I, Lao Zhang, will not regret it if I followed you."
While the two of them were talking, the sound of cannons outside the city sounded again. Wang Mingzhang put on his hat and rushed to the front command post.
Wang Mingzhang went to the command post to ask the staff officer: "Have the Japanese come up?"
The staff officer who observed the gun mirror said: "Not yet, the Japanese artillery preparation time this time is a bit long..."
As soon as the words came to an end, the ** company's 150mm heavy mortar also began to speak. The 150mm caliber mortar is already a defensive weapon. Whether it is range or power, it completely abuses all infantry cannons with a caliber of less than 100mm.
Seeing that the artillery that had finally been gathered together turned into scrap iron, the Japanese commander Heisuke Yanagawa's infringement coordination plan was ruined again. The heavy artillery on the opposite side was a curved artillery, which was arranged on the backslant, and could not be fired at all. If there was air supremacy, you could consider sending an airplane to blow up the opponent's artillery position, but now air supremacy is in the hands of the Peiping side.
Yanagawa Heisuke looked at the artillery position that turned into ashes and smiled sinisterly: "It would be wrong to think that this would block the attack of our imperial army. The shells were not enough for people to gather, so he rushed for me with the cavalry corps as the leader."
This time, Yanagawa Heisuke assembled three cavalry corpses and three infantry corpses to charge together. The role of the cavalry corps is to use people and war horses to cover the infantry corps. If you have the opportunity, it is also good to disrupt the opponent's defense line.
The cavalry gang that had suffered losses had to be more scattered. Before they could run halfway, they pulled out their shiny sabre and started to accelerate. The light and heavy mortars behind the front line of positions fell into the horses from time to time. The Japanese people were overturned, and the war horses behind them rushed up again.
When the cavalry entered the position of four or five hundred meters, the momentum of galloping horses came from the front line. Wang Mingzhang finally couldn't hold back his anger and ordered the shooting at the same time as Fan Shaozeng.
The fourth division of Fan Shaozeng's troops were trained earlier, and their combat effectiveness was above the 122nd Division. In a flash of bullets, the Japanese troops overturned, but the cavalry charge was too fast. A small number of cavalry charges were still on the verge of six or seven hundred people in the three cavalry regiments.
This time, all the eighteen martial arts of Fan Shaozeng's troops were used. Some jumped on the horse and carried the Japanese down to death. Or they used long and short guns to hit people and horses. Fan Shaozeng took a red tassel gun and swept two shots and opened a hole in the stomach of a war horse. The Japanese on it was also knocked down and then nailed it to the throat by Fan Shaozeng.
When Fan Shaozeng jumped back to the trench, the cook said, "Beautiful, the hero of Commander Fan is still the same as before."
Fan Shaozeng inserted the red tassel gun at his feet with a 'skirt': "Stop talking nonsense, the Japanese are coming up again. What do we say about Brothers and Brothers?"
Everyone said in unison: "Brother Pao will never put on a leukorrhea."
"I want it, I want it."
The infantry of the Japanese brigade rushed up and was knocked down, and then continued to rush up. The 150mm heavy mortar in the ** company almost hit the barrel and did not knock down the Japanese arrogance. Fortunately, the steel quality of the 150 mortar passed the standard, and there was no explosion after the barrel was red.
Wang Mingzhang also had to admit at this time that artillery is not omnipotent sometimes.
In order to maintain the defense line, Fan Shaozeng transferred his brothers from the Fourth Division into the front line positions one by one, one by one to block the Japanese's crazy attack. Wang Mingzhang's guard battalion also strengthened in early. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and some defense lines changed hands many times, but in the end they were always in the hands of the Sichuan Army.
