Chapter 293 The fifty-eight divisions are interesting enough
Although the outer clothing has been changed, the main weapon is still the traditional rifle. More than a thousand soldiers from the two battalions quietly left Niushou Mountain under the detection of the scouts in front.
The reason why people on the mountain have to attract the enemy's attention before entering the tunnel is that it is beneficial to the two rifle battalions led by Zhang Sixing who went to Shihuatai to fight, and if possible, it can attract the 18th Division to the tunnel.
Niushou Mountain, and reduce the pressure on the front line.
After hastily handing over the defense of Niushou Mountain to Lu Feizhou, Zhang Sixing led his men to quickly advance towards Yuhuatai. He was accompanied by Hansen, Yelena, Zhang Manna, and Hu Yang's guard company.
However, due to equipment issues, Populus euphratica's guard company is actually responsible for acting as scouts. Equipped with ostrich boots, Populus euphratica and his men are more suitable for reconnaissance activities.
"Quick, move quickly, maybe the road to Yuhuatai will be blocked by the Japanese Sixth Division soon."
In fact, it's not that far from Shihuatai, only thirty or forty miles away. If we walk quickly, it's only half a day's journey.
The sound of heavy artillery bombardment on the battlefield was now much quieter, because the 60th Army on the left wing only retreated in the early morning, and the 58th Division only set off more than an hour before Zhang Sixing and others.
So for the time being, the road for the two rifle battalions of the Parachute School to retreat to Yuhuatai is still clear.
"Sir, we can be considered an elite force. At least our record is much better than those of the adjusters (German weapon divisions). Then I don't understand why we retreated to Yuhuatai while they retreated to the city as a reserve force."
"This is not simple. No one's troops in the paratrooper school are counted. In addition, our Lord Zhang Sixing does not give Commander Tang Seng any face. My dear, am I right?"
Although she was speaking to Zhang Sixing, when she used the pronoun "dear", her blue eyes were looking at Zhang Shuna.
Zhang Sixing didn't answer anyone's question. His wild life happened after the war. As for topics like love, it was inappropriate to talk about them during the war.
Following Zhang Sixing, the combat vest on her body was marked with four big characters - War Reporter. This woman was not nervous at all because of the war. From time to time, she held up a camera and a wind-up camera to take pictures of the rifle battalion in haste.
They wear new military uniforms with combat vests on top. The weapons in their hands may be a bit old-fashioned, but the rifle battalions equipped with HMG42 machine guns are very powerful no matter how you look at them.
In the German queue, there were also several four-wheeled carriages stolen from the Japanese. The carriages contained gasoline barrels, a large number of bullets, explosives, and hundreds of prepared helmet mines.
For this reason, the old smoker Li Youtian led a company of skilled craftsmen from the mixed soldiers camp to follow Zhang Sixing.
As for the danger, as long as his son Li Jixian is not in danger, then it is not dangerous for the old smoker Li Youtian to follow Zhang Sixing wherever he goes. The important thing is that he wants everyone to deeply understand that without his logistics camp, Chief Zhang's war cannot be fought.
.
Just as the troops were descending from Niushou Mountain and advancing rapidly, Hu Yang, the commander of the guard company who was the vanguard, suddenly came to Zhang Sixing with a correspondent.
"Sir, we met soldiers of the 58th Division in front, but they all spoke Yunnanese and said that among the 58th Division, they were considered dead."
Killed in action, what the hell is this?
Unexpectedly for a moment, Zhang Sixing followed Hu Yang and ran forward quickly.
This is already the defense area of the 58th Division. There are two hills here, from south to north, Jiangjun Mountain and Guanyin Mountain.
This is the Sichuan Road between Jiangjun Mountain and Guanyin Mountain. When Zhang Sixing arrived, groups of soldiers wearing Central Army uniforms and M35 steel helmets, but all speaking with Yunnan accents, came out of the Sichuan Road.
"Sir, our Yunnan Army veterans who retired from the Songhu battlefield were replenished to the 58th Division. When we got here, for some reason, Commander Feng of the Central Army treated us as a reserve team. Now we..."
When Zhang Sixing heard about the thousand veterans of the Yunnan Army, he immediately realized that this was a gift from Feng Shengfa to him.
Needless to say, those who can become division commanders in the Chairman's Army are all well-calculated. With these thousand veterans of the Yunnan Army, they have some cards when they arrive at Yuhuatai. In addition, they can only be regarded as good friends of the 58th Division.
Fate, if the outcome of the battle is really as Zhang Sixing talked about while drinking, then does the soldiers of the 58th Division still have a glimmer of hope?
Zhang Sixing, who understood the matter in a flash, nodded to the veterans of the Yunnan Army in front of him.
"Welcome, welcome all the brothers from the Yunnan Army to join our paratrooper school. Our school is located in Kunming. If everyone is still alive after the Battle of Jinling, I will take the brothers home."
Kunming, Yunnan, home... The veterans of the Yunnan Army found hope almost instantly, and their originally low morale could not help but rise again.
"Old smoker, old smoker."
"Come on, come on, you're in a hurry, sir, what do you want to do?"
"Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are not separated. Lao Yandai and other Yunnan Army brothers are all handed over to you. Follow the method we did at Sihang Warehouse and ask them. Classify them into several categories first and then talk about it."
"It's you, sir. Leave it to us."
In the past, Lao Yandou did this. I believe he can quickly divide people into different groups according to the criteria of craftsmen, sharpshooters, sheepherders, practitioners, etc.
Then the ordinary infantrymen were strengthened into two rifle battalions on a company basis, the sharpshooters were assigned to Zhang Changlin, the trainers were assigned to Hu Yang's guard company, and the sheepherders were divided into groups and placed in each platoon.
I believe that the company and platoon commanders who have undergone short training in Jurong can make good use of these sheepherder artillery teams.
In defensive operations, the sheepherder artillery team and intensive, silent attacks are very good defensive forces. Even when combined with slings during attack, they can create a dense attack force within a hundred meters.
"Haha, Chapter 58 is quite interesting. A thousand reinforcements can be obtained after one drink. Sir, did you expect this to happen?"
In response to Hansen's ridicule, Zhang Sixing shrugged indifferently. On the other hand, Yelena, who was wearing combat gear and looking like a doll, yelled and acted as a conspicuous bag.
"Hey, these are the subordinates of Mr. Feng, who has a bad drink. If it weren't for me, my dear, you would have been able to get reinforcements so easily."
While speaking as usual, Zhang Manna looked sideways at the corner of her eyes, as if to remind her not to have any thoughts that she shouldn't have.
The latter just turned a deaf ear to Yelena's words. As a woman, he knew clearly that Zhang Sixing must have been a serious officer during the war. As for whether it would be like Hansen described after the war, I am afraid that he will only be able to truly understand it when he comes to the paratrooper school in Kunming in the future.
figure it out.
"Brothers, speed up, we must get to Yuhuatai as soon as possible, otherwise we will lose the chance to dig trenches."
