Chapter 211
"Hurry, hurry up, fuck your moves"
The officers and soldiers standing by the roadside rushed to the artillery battalion shouted loudly.
In the Battle of Hulu Valley, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui wiped out the main force of the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Independence, and seized four Type 92 infantry artillery and more than a dozen UUmm and 8hmm caliber mortars. Xu Shijiu asked someone to dig out more than a dozen cannons that were buried because of the shells being completely destroyed and rebuilt the artillery battalion.
Now Duzi's artillery battalion is under the jurisdiction of two 92 infantry artillery companies, plus three mortar companies, which is powerful.
The only regret is that the shells only have half a base, but even if they only have half a base ammunition, it is enough to fight a medium-intensity artillery battle.
However, this time, Duzi brought Tongling only one 92 Infantry Cannon Company and one mortar company.
While speaking, the right wheel of a 92 infantry cannon broke, and the cannon body weighing more than 400 pounds suddenly went to the right, then turned to the roadside and rolled down the hillside.
When Duzi saw this, he was so anxious that his farts came out. He rushed forward in two steps.
"What are you doing?" Duzi said without hesitation and kicked the platoon leader of the cannon, cursing, "What if I didn't have breakfast? Damn, if the cannon has any, I have to twist your head as a chamber pot."
The platoon leader screamed and quickly rushed down the hillside with his troops, trying to lift the cannons from the ditch.
However, the ditch was a little slippery. The platoon leader and a dozen artillery soldiers took a long time to lift the cannon out. The last time, they had already lifted the cannon up the edge of the ditch. As a result, a soldier slipped under his feet, and his bulky cannon body fell back into the ditch with a bulge. When he saw it on the edge of the ditch, he was almost irritated and he immediately jumped out of the ditch.
"Get out of here, get out of here." Duzi said without saying a word, and pushed the platoon leader and more than a dozen artillery soldiers away.
Then, Duzi tied up his armed belt on his waist, rolled up his sleeves, then bent down to his shoulders, pressed against the cannon stand with his shoulders, grabbed the short and thick gun barrel of the infantry cannon with his left hand, and grabbed the infantry cannon door with his right hand, and shouted loudly. The 92 infantry cannon, which was more than 400 kilograms, came up with a sound. The artillery platoon leader and more than a dozen artillery soldiers next to him were stunned.
The calf carried more than 400 kilograms of 92 infantry cannons and went up to the main road in one breath and then gently put them down.
The artillery platoon leader and a dozen artillery soldiers followed up happily, changing the wheels while checking the components on the cannon. Fortunately, all the parts were not broken, and the calf breathed a sigh of relief, but he still scolded the artillery platoon leader again, asking him to be careful in the future, and then he left in a coaxing manner.
As soon as Duzi walked to the front of the queue, he saw Li Zihan turning back.
"Duzi, your artillery speed must be accelerated, otherwise it will be out of touch with the large army." Li Zihan said
"I know, I know, we will catch up soon, and you infantry will leave yours." Duzi replied impatiently.
Li Zihan looked at the artilleryman who was panting, carrying heavy objects on his back, and his feet were already slipping, and then frowned and said, "How about this, I will let Battalion 1 stay to protect you."
After all, this place has entered the boundary of Jingxian County, and Jingxian is the defense area of the Army. Although Xu Shijiu had greeted the Third War Zone and the 25th Army before the operation, no one dared to guarantee that Gu Zhutong and Huang Baitao would not have any bad intentions. If Huang Baitao was jealous of the artillery of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, it would not be impossible to suddenly take action.
"No need." Duzi refused, "Soldiers are very fast. You should speed up your marches and surround the Chifeng stronghold earlier. Our artillery will soon follow us. It will not take too long. As for Huang Baitao's troops, they may not dare to take action with them, let alone our artillery can not only shoot artillery."
To put it this way, Duzi is confident. The focus of the artillery battalion is of course on artillery control. But besides the artillery control, Duzi did not ignore assassination training and shooting training. Put down the cannons and start the rifle. The artillery battalion is immediately an infantry battalion. If the army wants to eat his two artillery companies, it is probably impossible not to pay the price.
Even if you are willing to pay the price, don't even think of eating two artillery companies in a short time. At that time, Li Zihan had already brought the troops back. If Huang Baitao planned to eat Li Zihan's L regiment together, the matter would be a big deal, which means that the war between the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui and the Third Army was launched. Huang Baitao may not have the confidence to have this confidence.
(Split Line)
The 40th Division, which belongs to the Army, has begun to infiltrate into Tongling.
So, inevitably, the 40th Division collided with the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
Chen Shizhang, the acting commander of the 40th Division, hurried into Huang Baitao's command center and reported to Huang Baitao: "Military seat, frontier guard post report, the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has entered our division's defense zone."
"Oh, the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will enter your division's defense zone?" Huang Baitao said, "Which detachment is it?"
The relationship between the New Fourth Army's Southern Anhui Detachment and the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is almost an open secret in the entire Third War Zone. In this large combat operation, Xu Shijiu will not only mobilize his 19th Detachment, but also Shu Tongwen's Southern Anhui Detachment. I don't know whether the New Fourth Army will fully cooperate with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.
Chen Shizhang said: "From the number, it is the 1st regiment of the 19th Detachment."
"The 19th Detachment's 1st Regiment?" Huang Baitao frowned, "Li Zihan's troops?"
Chen Shizhang nodded and said, "Xu Shijiu is cunning enough. He knows that Li Zihan is a popular person in front of Commander-in-Chief Gu, so he deliberately lets him pass through our defense zone to fight Tongling. In this way, Commander-in-Chief Gu hates Xu Shijiu again and is embarrassed to order you to deal with Li Zihan, but this is not a bad thing for us."
"Yes, if we really fight with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, we may not be able to win." Huang Baitao nodded and said, "But there is a regiment in the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui?"
Chen Shizhang said: "From the number, it's just one regiment, and its troops will not exceed 3,000, but...
Huang Baitao's heart thumped and asked in a deep voice: "But what?"
Chen Shizhang said: "However, two artillery companies came."
"Architecture Company?" Huang Baitao was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "Damn, Xu Shijiu is living such a rich life. One army can't make a single artillery company, but his southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can make two artillery companies with one regiment. This guy has to throw away goods, and people have to be angry to death."
In fact, not only did Huang Baitao's army have no artillery, but there was no decent artillery in the entire Third War Zone.
After the defeat in the Battle of Songhu, the veterans of the third war zone lost more than 80% of the equipment and more than 90% of the equipment. The remaining Chengdu was still light equipment, and heavy equipment such as cars and cannons were lost. Later, the National Government tried every means to add some cannons to the third war zone, but that was also a lot of monks and little porridge.
Then, after a few battles, all the shells were burned and the cannons became decorations.
Until now, most troops in the Third War Zone have only built a few mortars to support the door.
Chen Shizhang's eyes flashed and he whispered: "Military throne, why don't you eat these two artillery companies?"
Huang Baitao was also a little moved, saying that these two artillery companies were not tempting to him, which was fake. These were two artillery companies, with six Japanese-made Type 92 infantry cannons, plus six mortars. Although compared with the Americans' large-caliber howitzers, the Japanese cannons were just a slag, but now the Americans' howitzers are not equipped with the Ninth War Zone, so howitzers are extra for the Third War Zone?
