"Master Liu, I appreciate your kindness for the brothers in the security group. However, the war is about to begin. Why bother to spend so much effort on one or several members of our security group, and may incur artillery retaliation from the Japanese army?" Wang Gong?
Yu glanced at Zhuang Shisan, whose eyes were full of gratitude, but he was always polite.
“As for the brothers who are trapped over there, I can only blame them for their bad fate. When I, Wang Gongyu, die in battle one day, I will personally make amends to them underground.”
That was a trick in the officialdom, and Commissioner Wang, who was already familiar with it, unconsciously played it out, even though he had already been absolutely convinced in his heart.
Liu Yuqing glanced at the somewhat hypocritical Songjiang magistrate, feeling contempt for no reason in his heart, but he also knew that this was the current officialdom environment.
Sitting in the current position of Wanggongyu, in ancient times, he was also a fifth-rank official, and he was considered a local official. He had to think ahead and think about everything before doing anything, which was far less straightforward than in the army.
However, in the current national crisis, the army has become the most important force in the anti-Japanese war, but it cannot rely solely on the army. A series of matters such as raising food and wages, recruiting troops, etc. must also rely on these local officials. For example, in Songjiang City now, if it were not for this local official
Even with all the help, I'm afraid we really can't have as strong a defense system as we have now.
Soon, the Army Lieutenant General released his unhappiness and shook his head slightly: "Commander Wang, you are wrong!"
Facing the somewhat astonished expressions of the two people, Liu Yuqing looked at the back of his security squad leader running away and said: "What I want to save is not just the soldiers of your security group under Commander Wang. What I want to save are all those who dare to
If Paoze, who is fighting the Japanese, can abandon his comrades at will because of casualties on the battlefield, then who will dare to fight side by side with you in the future?
Based on the performance of the security team last night and this morning, we must save those brothers who are still fighting against the Japanese invaders at all costs."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu." Wang Gongyu, who had always behaved elegantly and maintained a demeanor, had tears in his eyes. He took the initiative to hold Liu Yuqing's hand and shook it again and again. "With your words, Mr. Liu, I, the Songjiang Security Team,
This time's efforts were not in vain. If the 43rd Army has any requests in the future, we, the Songjiang Security Group, no, Songjiang will do our best to help."
At this moment, for the first time, this veteran, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, put aside his reserve as the chief executive of Songjiang and spoke the truth.
His thank you was not just because Liu Yuqing wanted to save his soldiers, but because the Sichuan Army division commander recognized the performance of his security group on this battlefield.
Unexpectedly, even the second-rate security battalion commander Zhuang Shisan was in tears at this moment. For this security force who had devoted himself to the battle, being recognized by the regular army's lieutenant general and division commander was the greatest compliment.
A far more important reward than discovering the ocean and being promoted to military rank.
Some people say that the army is a melting pot, but in fact, the battlefield is the best forge.
Only after experiencing the battlefield can you understand the meaning of risking your life to defend the position. When the enemy keeps moving away from you, all you have to do is to replace him and stand in his fighting position.
He is dead and you are alive, then continue to live for him until we meet again somewhere one day.
Zhuang Shisan is such a commander tempered by the flames of war.
…..
Of course, the Japanese who were still besieging the pagoda did not know that they were actually noticed by a Chinese Army Lieutenant General, and that eight 150-mm mortars were notified by the Xicheng Command and had their guns aimed at this place.
Two artillery observers were already calculating the coordinates according to the order. The center of the coordinates was Xilin Temple.
Compared to the small battlefield like Xilin Temple, which is almost insignificant, the battlefield in Cangcheng has really entered a fever pitch.
This time, Kunizaki Zheng really planned to turn his Kunizaki detachment into a hammer to smash the iron nail thrown by the Chinese on the Cangcheng front line.
Not counting the use of the 16 mountain guns of his Kunisaki detachment, he also asked the 114th Division for help regardless of face, asking it to use 12 105 howitzers to bombard Cangcheng.
In preparation for artillery fire alone, 28 artillery pieces of large and small calibers threw more than 500 artillery shells at the small Cangcheng.
When the infantry offensive began, four 89 tanks and three 94 armored vehicles were used, which was almost half of the armored vehicle squadron that came to Jiangnan with the Kunisaki detachment.
In other words, even though the infantry only used one and a half infantry brigade, whether it was artillery or armor, the Kunisaki detachment invested almost everything it could.
That’s not all.
The most insane thing is that Kunizaki once again used a nearly suicidal infantry-artillery coordination at a distance of 100 meters.
The artillery fire almost grazed the hair of the Japanese infantry and exploded on the Cangcheng position.
The once five-meter-high city wall of Cangcheng has been cut down by half a meter. The gaps are no longer one, two, three or four in the past, but are like a dam that has burst.
The Japanese infantry who were swept up by their own artillery fire seemed to be able to invade the city with just one big step.
Moreover, the Japanese army violently attacked Cangcheng from three sides.
However, on the Chinese position where it was almost impossible for anyone to survive after rounds of artillery fire, bullets were still being fired.
The Japanese troops fell in front of the city wall in swarms. There may have been a few Japanese troops who entered the city wall through the gaps. But soon, before they could gain a stable foothold, an inverted triangle consisting of light machine guns and submachine guns was set up inside the city wall.
The ambush formation killed the Japanese troops with only light weapons around the gap.
They had no way of tearing a hole open as they imagined and then rushing deeper, eventually dividing the Chinese defenders in the city and annihilating them one by one.
The most typical Japanese army tactics, the center attracts two wings to outflank and break through, and sending small groups of troops to cut off the enemy's retreat and wait for opportunities to kill important enemy figures. In fact, it is the original version of the movement division and encirclement tactics that the Chinese army will be best at in the future.
But even this original version of sports tactics is powerful enough, especially when it also has terrifying artillery support.
Although the first line of the city wall of Cangcheng is still in the hands of the Chinese defenders, it is already crumbling.
China and Japan are like two wrestlers competing in a quagmire. Both sides are already bruised and exhausted, but both sides are still trying their best to hold on. It depends on who loses his breath first, then he will be pinned to death by his opponent in the mud.
Kill.
Facing such brutal tactics by the Japanese army, all the tactics that flashed in Tang Dao's mind failed. This reminded him of a battle that would take place on the northern ice sheet more than ten years in the future.
The regiment commander surnamed Fan led a light infantry regiment and ran for more than 100 miles a day on the bare mountains to stop several divisions of American cowboys who were armed to the teeth.
They don’t have fortifications like Cangcheng, and they face even more artillery and tanks than they do now. How do they hold their position?
American cowboys, like the Japanese today, rush upward under their own artillery fire. If the guard posts are no longer effective, then they have to fight in turns.
What is taking turns to stand? It means that one platoon is on the first line. If this platoon is lighted, then another platoon will be on the line again.
To put it bluntly, this is called taking turns to die.
Tang Dao was forced to use this extremely cruel method of warfare.
Because, in this kind of battlefield where both sides have to fight to the death, there is only one so-called tactic, which is to see who dares to die more.
An infantry platoon of more than 30 people was wiped out in less than 10 minutes.
Those who can be carried off on a stretcher and still have breathing are the lucky ones.
Young deputy squad leader Qian Dazhu did not cry this time.
Because, he didn’t have time to cry.
At the position belonging to his infantry platoon, gunfire never stopped.
He was running and shooting.
At each fighting position, there is a gun, a machine gun, a rifle, and a rifle, and the grenades have their caps unscrewed so that he can pull the string and throw them out.
The ferocious Japanese artillery fire blocked the 1st platoon of infantry who came to replace them for five minutes. Even the battalion commander Liu Zhenshan, who had a bandage on his head and personally led the team to the front line, had already prepared all the troops with bayonets on and must have entered the city wall fortifications.
The Japanese troops were preparing to rush back.
However, when they rushed into the position, this was what they saw.
The soldiers couldn't help but be stunned.
A soldier was running in the trench, constantly rushing to the fighting position, firing, and then continuing to run before the grenades from the Japanese grenade could fly.
This is why the gunfire from the front line never stops.
The Japanese army was actually suppressed 30 meters in front of the position by this man.
In the trenches, there were corpses everywhere. Perhaps because they had been shelled, there were no red bodies, only black.
That's blood, that's military uniform.
Sensing that the reinforcements were finally rushing forward, the young deputy squad leader turned his head once in his busy schedule. Only the whites of his eyes were white on his face that was darkened by gunpowder smoke.
Seeing the reinforcements coming up, the young deputy squad leader tried his best to grin.
He wanted to laugh, but it was more like crying.
The young superior soldier did not cry, but his battalion commander shed tears first.
This is, the whole row is full of ink!
