Zhao Ergou led the artillery company to receive thirteen Type 41 mountain guns immediately. Due to the shortage of personnel, the gunners of the three infantry companies' machine gun platoons who had been trained by Zhao Ergou were re-assigned to Zhao Ergou's command.
The number of people under Zhao Ergou's command quickly expanded to more than 200. They can be said to be strong soldiers and horses. They are much more majestic than infantry company commanders like Liu Dazhu who have hundreds of men, not to mention Ling Hong and Xiao Fenghua who only have a few soldiers.
The special forces squadron with five or six big cats and kittens has become the captain.
It's just that Captain Zhao Dal's performance at this time is really unflattering. It's okay to hold the kid's cannon and touch the big girl's wet hands tenderly. What's the point of drooling while touching you?
It wasn't until Liu Lang came to check the preparations of the artillery company that he finally brought Zhao Ergou, who had fallen into a state of infatuation due to the sudden happiness, back to reality.
"Zhao Ergou, what do you think? These dozen cannons have been handed over to you. It will be up to you to attack the 4th Brigade later. Are there any difficulties?" Liu Lang looked at it with a smile on his face.
Zhao Ergou, whose chrysanthemums were blooming, said with a smile.
This guy's smile was so bright that Liu Lang couldn't help but feel much better.
"Sir, are there any difficulties? It's just..."
"Oh? Tell me, I will solve everything for you."
"There are too many guns, but there are not enough manpower. Sir, do you think you can buy me some more manpower? If that doesn't work, you can leave me the gunners deployed from the first and second battalions first. After this battle is over, I will
Just train them, what do you think?" Zhao Ergou blinked and said something.
"Zhao Ergou, they say that you are crazy because you have too many cannons. Look, you are not stupid. Are you thinking of crooked tricks? I will leave all the gunners in the fire platoon to you. Do you believe it?"
If you don’t believe that Lao Chi and Lao Yu can eat you alive, don’t think that I don’t know what your plans are. Didn’t you think that when more than a dozen cannons arrived, you thought that the artillery company was too small and should be converted into an artillery battalion?
Liu Lang sneered.
"The conscience of heaven and earth, sir, the Japs have thousands of people waiting for these things. I can do it with a hundred people. No matter what, it will only take four to five hundred people!" Zhao Ergou said with a full face.
In grievance, he cried out "Changtianqu".
However, judging from his sly eyes, it was clearly saying, sir, what you said is correct.
"Hmph, can't we just divide half of it and build another artillery company?" Liu Lang snorted and walked towards the artillery position that was being set up.
In order to prevent enemy planes from bombing after dawn, the artillery company did not dare to set up their cannons in this flat valley. Instead, they worked tirelessly to move them to the mountains protected by dense woods. Chi Dakui specially sent an infantry company to help them.
.
Zhao Ergou was speechless. It seemed that the officer's statement could also solve this problem! However, this was somewhat contrary to his original intention!
"Damn it, why don't you go to work for me? Do you want to be the new company commander?" Zhao Ergou glanced at the subordinates who were snickering around him. When the subordinates dispersed in a hurry, he hurriedly chased Liu Lang.
He continued to mutter: "Sir, two companies are too few. Otherwise, let's divide them into three companies!"
The idiot still wanted to be the battalion commander, but Liu Lang was defeated by this shameless person.
However, a skinless guy is a skinny guy, but Zhao Ergou, this lazy guy, is really unambiguous when it comes to sex.
As soon as the sky turned white, Zhao Ergou led the artillery company's gunners to start test firing. As the forward observers continued to correct the explosion points, the entire artillery company became more and more familiar with the performance of the Type 41 mountain gun, and the gun also
The more you hit, the more accurate you become.
Although the artillery company had not fired a single shot, and many of them did not hit the position, it frightened the Japanese quite a lot. Originally, the most they wanted to do was to defend against the Chinese army's favorite mortars.
Thinking that they also have mountain artillery, and it seems that there are a lot of shells, just the test firing lasted more than half an hour.
Ordinary Japanese were just too frightened to understand, but for Suzuki Mitsuchi, it was like a funeral, and the worst result actually happened. Type 41 mountain gun, the most field support artillery assigned to the Kwantung Army Field Artillery Regiment, how could he not be familiar with it?
?It was actually snatched away by the damn Chinese.
"Baga, damn Shinichi Kihara, he didn't carry out my military order, he will become a sinner of the Imperial Army." Suzuki Mitsuchi's eyes were red, and he slashed the sandbag in front of him with his major general's sword.
Now, there is no little Maza for him to vent his anger on.
"Sir Suzuki, I think the top priority now is to retreat and move closer to the main force of the division before the Chinese army starts attacking." Gu Yiyi was obviously anxious now.
The cold and frozen land in northern China is obviously not just for the Chinese. The Japanese, who only have engineers shoveling, also encountered great difficulties. The field fortifications they spent a lot of manpower and time to build were simply unable to withstand the 75MM shells of the Type 41 mountain gun.
bombing.
"Retreat? Mr. Gu, look at their troop layout." Suzuki Mitichi pointed to the vaguely discernible Chinese army 800 meters away from the position. "Chinese military art says: Surrounding three towers is not to be surrounded.
Instead of giving the army a glimmer of hope, it loses its fighting spirit when it sees hope of survival. An army that loses its fighting spirit and just wants to escape can only become the result of their taking whatever they want. Do you believe it or not, whether it was last night or now?
, as long as we leave this position, we will be ambushed by them, without any reason. I just don’t know who the Chinese commander is in command of this battle. He must be a serious problem for our Japanese Empire to annex China in the future."
Gu Yi was silent for a moment, and then suggested again: "We send a message to the division commander again, asking him to ask Commander Muto for help, and ask the 6th Air Wing to send bombers to help us resist the Chinese attack. Otherwise, our 4th Brigade will
It is very possible that we will not be able to hold on until the main force of the division arrives."
Apparently, at the time of life and death, Tani Yiichi also put aside his thoughts of fighting for power and profit, and tried his best to provide advice to Suzuki Mitsu.
Although he also knew that once this telegram was sent, the 4th Brigade would no longer have any honor to speak of. Not only would it be surrounded by the despised Chinese, but it would also be forced to ask for help from the aviation wing that was not affiliated with the Kwantung Army. This would completely
It became the laughing stock of all the troops of the Kwantung Army. But compared to the imminent annihilation of the entire army, what is this?
Without refusing, Suzuki Mitsu just waved his hand silently and asked Gu Yiyi to follow his suggestion. Suzuki Mitsu obviously also thought of this, and Gu Yiyi made this decision for him.
Xiyi, who was eighty miles away and was gathering all the troops to rush towards Luo Wenyukou, was shocked. He did not expect that the battle situation of the 4th Brigade would deteriorate to this point in just one night. Could it be that
The main force of the 29th Army on the opposite side is no longer here but has gone to surround the 4th Brigade?
Apart from this, Nishi Giichi really couldn't figure out any other reason why the 4th Brigade and two artillery brigades, with nearly 10,000 elite Imperial Japanese Army troops, would be beaten in such a miserable manner.
Suzuki Mitsuchi did not give a detailed explanation of the specific strength of the Chinese army that he was attacked out of dignity. He only said that the number far exceeded his own troops.
Nishi Giichi, who was promoted to a general of the Japanese Army due to his meritorious service after the war in space and time, was also a general in the Kwantung Army. After receiving a telegram from Suzuki Mitsutsu asking for help, he dispatched his 16th Brigade and Manchuria Fengtian Independence
The Li Shoushan Division of the 1st Brigade, the Lushun Heavy Artillery Battalion and the Kwantung Army Automobile Battalion rushed to Luo Wenyu, and at the same time sent an emergency telegram to the Kwantung Army Commander Muto Nobuyoshi, hoping to obtain support from the 6th Air Wing headquartered in Pyongyang.
Then, Nishi Giichi did something impulsive that he couldn't forgive even after seeing Suzuki Mitsuchi's body.
