"What are you talking about?" the veteran lost his voice, "Yes"
"Yes, I can." Xu Rui nodded heavily and said, "I can."
The veteran sneered and said, "Then I want to see what you can do to stop the Japanese."
"It's very simple." Xu Rui pointed at the map and said, "I decided to build a heavy machine gun position here, Nishan.
The brothers of the 17th Army only need to face the Japanese infantry brigade left behind in Jiangbei, and do not need to consider the main force of the Japanese returning for reinforcements."
"Get lost." Deputy Wan Ying said unhappily, "Why should we stop you?"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "I will give you two pheasant necks, twelve crooked handles, plus three hundred thirty-eight caps and two basic ammunition, do you want to do it?"
Deputy Wan Ying's eyes immediately lit up and he said loudly: "You keep your word."
"Every spittle is a nail," Xu Rui said solemnly, "The equipment can be given to you now."
"Then it's settled, I'll take away the equipment later." Deputy Wan Ying said loudly, "As long as the war is fought as described in the war game, the infantry brigade left behind by the little devil in Jiangbei will be handed over to
We are in the 67th Army. I will tell you this. If you let a Japanese go by, I will take your surname."
"That's not necessary." Xu Rui smiled and turned his gaze back to the veteran.
The veteran said: "Are you kidding me when you use a heavy machine gun to block fire? Don't forget that the Japs also have a navy and gunboats. Although the Japs' gunboats do not have large-caliber naval guns, even if they are 75-caliber
The rapid-fire cannon is enough to blast the heavy machine gun positions on the mud hills into the sky. What are you using to block the fire?"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "What if I set up the heavy machine gun position on the reverse slope?"
"Reverse slope," the veteran said, "If you place your heavy machine gun position on the reverse slope of the mud mountain, you can certainly avoid the Japanese naval gun group, but in this way, your heavy machine gun will not be able to hit the small Japanese who are rushing to the beach."
It’s a devil”
Xu Rui said: "Who said that if the heavy machine gun position is placed on the reverse slope, it will not be able to hit the Japanese who want to land on the beach?"
"There is actually a heavy machine gun position set up on the reverse slope of the mountain." Cui Jiu on the side couldn't help but said, "Why have I never heard of it?"
Xu Rui said: "That's because you are ignorant."
Cui Jiu said: "Then you can tell me a battle example and I will listen to it."
Xu Rui said: "You must have heard of the Battle of the Somme, right?"
Cui Jiu said: "Of course I know about the Battle of the Somme. It was the largest battle in World War I. The British and French allied forces plus the German army suffered more than 1.3 million casualties. The problem is, the Battle of the Somme, compared with
What does it have to do with locating the heavy machine gun position on the reverse slope of the mountain?”
"You say you are ignorant and you still don't admit it." Xu Rui snorted, and then said to the veteran, "Veteran, I believe you must have studied the Battle of the Somme, and you must have remembered what happened, right? Now you and everyone
Tell us what happened on the left flank of the British army at the Battle of the Somme."
Everyone's eyes, including Cui Jiu's, were focused on the veteran's face.
The veteran nodded and said: "Before the Battle of the Somme, the British and French forces prepared for seven days of artillery fire in order to destroy the German trenches. On the eighth day, under the cover of Xu Jin's barrage, the British and French forces launched artillery fire from the front and left and right.
Both wings launched a fierce attack on the German defense line at the same time. The British army on the front and the French army on the right made smooth progress and broke through the first line of defense of the German army. However, the British army on the left suffered a disastrous defeat."
Cui Jiu frowned and said: "It has something to do with the heavy machine gun."
The veteran nodded and said: "Yes, the left-wing German army concentrated two hundred Maxim heavy machine guns, and creatively built the heavy machine gun position on the reverse slope where the British and French allied forces could not reach the direct fire, and used curved trajectory to attack the British and French allied forces.
The position was covered with barrage, and on the first day alone, it caused more than 60,000 casualties to the British and French forces."
"There were more than 60,000 casualties in one day."
"Damn, the British and French forces were beaten so badly."
"The barrage coverage of this curved ballistic trajectory is really so powerful."
As soon as the veteran finished speaking, Li Hai, Hei Qi and others began to whisper.
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Do you know how these more than 60,000 British and French troops died? They were killed while hiding in the trenches. The German army concentrated 200 Maxim heavy machine guns and tilted them at a 45-degree angle.
Pointing its horn to the sky, it used a curved trajectory to dump bullets into the trenches of the British and French allied forces. The British and French allied forces could not find a place to hide."
Li Hai, Hei Qi and others were all awe-struck when they heard this. They were beaten to death while hiding in the trenches. It was even more unlucky to do so on the exposed river beach.
Cui Jiu also silently closed his mouth, feeling that he was really ignorant.
The veteran then said: "Okay, I admit that building the heavy machine gun position on the reverse slope and using barrage coverage can indeed block the river beach, but now there is another problem. The Japanese naval gun group cannot hit the ones on the reverse slope.
Heavy machine gun position, but don’t forget, the Japs still have aviation, and their bombers can hit the reverse slope.”
Xu Rui said: "Let's not talk about whether this battle will be delayed until after dawn the next day. Even if the progress is not smooth and the battle is delayed until after dawn the next day, the little devil's aviation force will still be unable to hit the reverse slope of the mountain, because tomorrow,
The weather in East China will become so bad in the next two days that the little devil's plane will not be able to get into the sky."
"Tomorrow, the weather in East China will become bad in the next two days," the veteran said doubtfully, "How do you know?"
Xu Rui smiled and said to Jiang Nan: "Miss Jiangnan, come and tell him."
Jiang Nan rolled his eyes at Xu Rui and said: "According to the intelligence intercepted by Fuxing News Agency, it is clear that the weather in East China will indeed become bad in the next two days, and the Japanese Army's Central China Front Command has issued instructions to all participating troops.
There will be no aviation support tomorrow."
Xu Rui said to the veteran: "How is it? Are there any problems?"
"Yes." The veteran nodded and added, "I have one last question."
"Tell me." Xu Rui smiled and made a gesture of invitation to the veteran.
The veteran said in a deep voice: "Even if the Japs' gunboats cannot hit the reverse slope of the mud hill, and even if the Japs' aviation forces cannot take off for combat, it will take a lot of heavy equipment to use heavy machine gun positions to block the Japs' attacks on the beach.
There are not a few machine guns, and the amount of ammunition required is an astronomical figure. I would like to ask where the ammunition for these heavy machine guns comes from."
Xu Rui smiled and said, "What do you think?"
The old soldier said horrified: "Don't you think so?"
"You guessed it right." Xu Rui said with a grim smile, "The weapons and ammunition we buried near Wuxi are now just in use."
At this time, the veteran had no excuse at all, so he could only say feebly: "Old Xu, so you have made up your mind."
"That's right, I'm determined," Xu Rui slapped the desk hard and said in a ferocious voice, "These Taiwanese devils, none of them will be allowed to leave the mainland alive."
After finishing speaking, Xu Rui turned around and shouted: "Xiao Qi"
Hei Qi immediately took a step forward, stood up and said, "Yes."
Xu Rui said: "You take a platoon of brothers and immediately cross the Yangtze River to the weapons burial site in the suburbs of Wuxi. I don't care what method you use, let alone how much you pay. You must retrieve twenty 92s before dark tomorrow."
Type heavy machine gun, each heavy machine gun must be equipped with 20 base ammunition."
"Yes" Li Hai agreed loudly, turned around and left.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Nan suddenly stopped Li Hai and said to Xu Rui, "Battle Commander Xu, do you know how much twenty Type 92 heavy machine guns weigh? If you have 20 base ammunition, you will need to add more
How can a platoon of only forty people transport so many weapons and ammunition at such a heavy weight?"
"That's Xiao Qi's business." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "I just said, no matter what method he uses, no matter how much price he pays, I just want the result, I just want him to get twenty before dark tomorrow.
The Type 92 heavy machine gun and 20 base ammunition were transported back to Nantong."
Jiangnan said: "You are so unreasonable."
Xu Rui ignored Jiang Nan and said to Hei Qi: "Xiao Qi, every extra minute you delay here will make it more difficult to complete the task, so hurry up and go."
"Yes" Hei Qi agreed, turned around and walked away.
Xu Rui turned his attention to Li Hai again and said in a deep voice: "The remaining brothers cannot rest and are digging the tunnel all night long."
Li Hai said: "In the camp, there is no need to dig a tunnel. Isn't this air-raid shelter ready-made? Let's hide in the air-raid shelter and block the entrance of the hole. If it's not over, why bother digging a tunnel?"
"No." Xu Rui said decisively, "This air-raid shelter is too far from the dock. Attacking from the air-raid shelter is not sudden. If we can't catch the Japanese by surprise, this battle will be more difficult for us. Therefore, the tunnel must be as close as possible.
As for the pier, it is best to dig it under the ground of the pier, so that it will be more sudden."
"Okay." Li Hai turned around, gave a military salute, and turned around.
Xu Rui said to the veteran again: "Veteran, follow me to the mud mountain to see the terrain."
The veteran nodded and immediately followed Xu Rui out of the cave. Jiang Nan shouted several times, but Xu Rui pretended not to hear him.
Seeing that Xu Rui refused to pay attention to him, Jiang Nan stamped his feet, returned to the temporary base of the Rangers, and set up a radio to call the special liaison office in Shanghai.
Five minutes later, an encrypted telegram was placed on the desk of Shanghai Special Committee Secretary Du Xing.
"The tentative 79th Division Battalion wants to attack the Chongteng Detachment." After reading the telegram, Du Xing couldn't help being shocked. No way, the remnants of a mere battalion dare to attack a Japanese detachment. This is a detachment with tens of thousands of Japanese.
Duxing was so shocked that he almost dropped his glasses on the ground. This was really crazy.
