The 400 or so people not only made Commander Yu take a breath of cold air, but even the several staff officers and Deputy Commander Feng around him were trembling with fear.
It's really amazing. After experiencing two Japanese attacks, three naval gun fires and even a bomber bombing, the secret service camp was still able to maintain around 400 people. He had a total of 580 people.
Although he lost nearly two hundred yuan, everyone present knew what he had encountered and what he had gone through.
Zhou Weiguo had no idea that the division headquarters was surprised at the loss of more than a hundred people in the secret service camp. He was now leading Hu Yong toward the Huangpu River by taking advantage of the small roads and gaps in the Japanese defenses.
After hiding all the way, the two finally approached the Huangpu River. Finally, they found a place where the reeds and weeds met.
The weeds scattered by the wind affected the line of sight. Zhou Weiguo stretched out his hand to pull away the weeds and some reeds that blocked the line of sight, then picked up the telescope and looked at the river in the distance.
This sight made him even more angry and his whole body became cold and his lips turned purple.
It was not a destroyer at all, but a merchant ship converted into a destroyer. It was less than a hundred meters long, the earth-gray hull and the large white characters of Xijing Maru on the bow made Zhou Weiguo feel like a madman.
fly.
Just this one merchant ship, with a 120mm naval gun on the bow and machine guns on both sides, actually caused the Second Battalion to lose its combat effectiveness, and even cost itself more than a hundred people.
"That's so arrogant." After saying this aggrievedly, Zhou Weiguo looked at Hu Yong beside him, who was staring at him like a roe deer, and the mortar next to him didn't even have a desk. He was a little agitated.
He pointed at the artillery cannon angrily: "Anyway, you can install the cannon for me while I'm observing the situation."
Hu Yong looked aggrieved and spread his hands pitifully: "Batalion Commander, I can't do it."
Damn it, he brought the wrong person. Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath and complained, and could only squat down and start installing the artillery cannon.
Hu Yong looked at the Japanese destroyer in the distance. It was probably the first time he saw a Japanese destroyer. The earth-gray ship surprised him. He turned around and said to Zhou Weiguo: "Oh my god, it's so long and so big."
, It’s simply bigger than a small steamer, battalion commander, the Japanese army is such a big guy.”
What kind of big guy is this? The big ships haven't come in yet. If real ships like that come, it's estimated that a single volley will take half of the whole battalion.
"It's a converted merchant ship, not a warship. It's just that the Huangpu River has very high requirements for ships. They only use this kind of ship if they want to get close to shoot. Otherwise, what you see today is equipped with several
These are artillery pieces that we simply can’t possess.”
Zhou Weiguo explained and adjusted the artillery. Hu Yong pointed at the ship on the river: "Batalion Commander, can we hit it?"
Zhou Weiguo bit his lower lip and did not raise his head; "It can hit, but it won't sink. Ours is an artillery cannon, it has no penetrating power, but it can kill several of them."
With that said, the artillery shell has been adjusted. Zhou Weiguo opened the shell and took it out, and then began to install the primer. The distance was a bit far, nearly one kilometer away. Zhou Weiguo used the No. 5 charge to ensure that this thing could land directly in Xijing.
On the open-air naval gun in Maruna.
boom……
There was a slight sound from the mortar. Zhou Weiguo waited for the shells to fly out and continued to load them. He shot out five shells. Without looking at the situation of the Xijing Pill, he pulled Hu Yong and ran away. Hu Yong broke away and quickly pulled away.
He took off his clothes and wanted to hold the mortar, but Zhou Weiguo held him back: "Let's go, I don't want it anymore, I can't take it back."
While he was pulling, he also glanced at the Xijing Pill.
The ship was smoking, and you could faintly see the sailors in dark black military uniforms pulling water pipes and other things to put out the fire.
It will blow you up to death and make you crazy.
Cursing in his heart, Zhou Weiguo spat on the ground and evacuated with Hu Yong toward the position.
The Japanese army obviously got the news that the navy was attacked, and the number of troops coming along the way increased significantly. Fortunately, the two of them were prepared, and each prepared a set of Japanese military uniforms. Finally, they used the skin to run to the side of the position, and then
I took it off and waited until dark before returning to the position safely.
Zhou Jin's heart was in his throat. After Zhou Weiguo left, the Japanese army launched two attacks. Although they were fierce, under the cover of the division's artillery, they were still able to repulse the Japanese attack. However, the losses were somewhat heavy and the losses were severe.
More than sixty people were injured.
Now there are less than 350 people left in the secret service camp.
A battalion was able to hold off the Japanese attack for nearly a whole day, which was already considered an incredible victory.
Zhou Weiguo can accept such losses. This is much better than when a company or even a battalion went up and couldn't sustain it for an hour or even twenty minutes.
He saw several commanders showing frustration, so he picked up the green water bottle and took a sip and said: "Don't be so depressed. In a war, it is normal to have losses. Our weapons are not as good as others, so we can achieve such a defensive victory.
This is already extraordinary. At least, we won the first battle without losing the face of the division headquarters, the military headquarters, and our secret service battalion."
His enlightenment brought a smile to the tangled hearts of several company commanders. However, Zhou Weiguo always looked weird, so it would be better to cry.
Not wanting to let such frustration resurface in everyone's minds again, he ordered the position to be repaired quickly and had mines placed 80 meters ahead to prevent a sneak attack by the Japanese army.
"Baga Baga." Compared to Zhou Weiguo's calmness, Sakata was so angry that he was smoking in his tent and smashed the teapot in his hand directly on the ground.
One brigade, one daytime attack, failed to capture even one of the opponent's battalion's defensive positions, and instead lost more than a hundred people.
Such a price is completely unbearable for him.
With more than a hundred people, he was close to destroying a squadron, and he also had two tanks.
This made his face fall off layer by layer like dry tree bark in winter.
With uncontrollable anger in his heart, he raised his eyes and looked at the squadron leaders below. He was so angry that he walked over and slapped each of them. Then he pointed at the squadron leaders with an angry look on his face: "Trash, are you all the same?"
It’s trash.”
"Hi." The squadron leader's response made Sakata hold back all the insults he was talking about.
Looking at these subordinates who just know how to have fun, what can he say?
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he walked to the window and looked at the enemy position shrouded in the dark night sky for a long time. He slightly turned back to look at the squadron leaders and said calmly: "Get down and have a good rest. We must do it tomorrow."
