At the same time, in Dawang Village, Guanxian County.
He Shuya, who had just woken up from his sleep, was ordered to come to the temporary headquarters of the military division.
When He Shuya walked into the headquarters, Xu Rui was frowning and calculating something on the map, so it was Wang Husheng who came forward to talk to He Shuya.
Wang Husheng said: "Originally, we planned to let the three regiments of you rest for a whole day, but Lao Xu was worried about something unexpected happening in Pu County, so he made a temporary decision that after lunch, the three regiments of you would immediately go south and return to Pu County to defend against the enemy.
County, Shuya, don’t think it’s hard work. As the saying goes, those who are capable work hard, hehe.”
"Political commissar, it's not hard." He Shuya shook his head and said, "This is what we should do. Who made us soldiers? As soldiers, we should fight for the country and the nation. As for a mere two hundred
The march along the Rideau Mile Road is even more insignificant, just lift your legs and you’ll be there.”
"Okay, you have some momentum." Wang Husheng patted He Shuya on the shoulder happily, and said, "This is Lao Xu's student. He will never let his guard down at the critical moment."
"It's too early to say that." Xu Rui, who had been calculating on the map just now, suddenly raised his head, then looked at He Shuya and said, "The real test for your three regiments is coming soon. Only by withstanding this test, the three regiments can win."
Only then can he truly deserve the praise of ‘never let up at critical moments’.”
He Shuya solemnly said: "Captain, please rest assured, as long as our three regiments are here, the Osaka Division will never be able to cross Pucheng. Even if the Osaka Division has a chariot regiment to assist, the result will be the same!"
Xu Rui said: "Then tell me how you plan to fight this battle?"
"The strategy remains unchanged, the same sixteen words as before." He Shuya said in a deep voice, "Break it into pieces, attack day and night, concentrate all your efforts, and fight the enemy in the streets!"
Xu Rui said: "I will give you two more words, fire attack!"
"Fire attack?" He Shuya was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said happily, "Captain, I understand!"
"As long as you understand!" Xu Rui nodded and said, "The political commissar has just told you what should be said, so I won't go on. After lunch, I will lead the troops south to Pucheng. I am very worried, He
Bian Zhengsan is an old devil who can jump over the wall in a hurry, so you must arrive as soon as possible."
"Yes!" He Shuya stood at attention and turned around.
Watching He Shuya's figure go away, Wang Husheng asked: "Old Xu, what do you mean by the fire attack you just mentioned? Are you asking nerds to set fire?"
Xu Rui chuckled and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
"Hey, it's like this every time. Forget it if you don't tell me. I don't care to know." Wang Husheng curled his lips disdainfully, and then continued, "But Lao Xu, do you really think that old devil like Zheng San by the river will jump over the wall in a hurry? How can I
Do you think the Japs will give up their raiding plan this time?"
Xu Rui nodded and said: "Logically speaking, with the complete destruction of the Iida detachment, Kawabe Shozo's separate advance and combined attack plan has effectively gone bankrupt, so the wisest thing to do is to have a truce and wait until enough military supplies are accumulated.
It is safest to wait until more troops can be dispatched to sweep our Damei Mountain."
"That's right." Wang Husheng nodded and said, "I think so too. Could it be that Hebian Zhengzo still doesn't understand this?"
"Of course Hebian Zhengsan knows this very well." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "But I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for that day, because on that day, he doesn't know where he will be kicked out to serve as a brigade of a certain garrison brigade.
There is no guarantee that he will become the commander of the regiment, or worse, he will be directly transferred to the reserve force. Therefore, for his personal reputation and his own future, Kawabe Shozo must fight to the death with all his strength."
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "Furthermore, we must also admit that the annihilation of the Iida detachment did not fundamentally change the balance of strength between the enemy and ourselves. The Japs still have an overwhelming advantage. This
The outcome of a battle is still a number of five to five, or at most four to six."
Wang Husheng said: "Isn't Shozo Kawabe worried that the Kumamoto Division or the Osaka Division will make the same mistake as the Iida Detachment? It only took us less than half a night to completely wipe out the Iida Detachment. Isn't this old rebel Kawabe Shozo
Are you really not worried?"
"It's definitely a worry." Xu Rui nodded and said, "However, I'm afraid the secret of the heartless cannon can't be kept for too long. After all, there are many people who come into contact with during transportation. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be any little devils among these civilians.
Spies, not to mention, even if most of the Iida detachment has been wiped out, there is no guarantee that no fish will slip through the net. Through these fish that slip through the net, the little Japanese will figure it out soon."
Wang Husheng sighed and said: "Speaking of which, the power of this heartless cannon is really great, but in addition to its great power, the heartless cannon also has great flaws. Not only is its range very short, but it can only hit a distance of five hundred meters at most.
It's not even as good as the Japs grenade, and its accuracy is also very poor. A heartless cannon alone is of no use at all. Only hundreds of them can work together. These two points are extremely limiting.
There is no conscience in the use of cannons.”
Xu Rui smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, we will have another sharper weapon appear before long. That one is the real infantry support firepower. Compared with the little devil's grenade,
It’s just scum.”
"Really?" Wang Husheng perked up after hearing this and asked, "What weapon?"
Xu Rui smiled, but still said the same thing: "You will know when the time comes."
Wang Husheng said: "Hey, it's this sentence again."
(Dividing line)
Xu Rui's guess was correct, and the secret of the heartless cannon was quickly exposed.
As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall. Although Wang Husheng built the entire Dameishan Military Division like an iron barrel, in addition to the militia, each county also had women's rescue societies, women's brigades, children's corps and other non-governmental anti-Japanese organizations to serve as the military division's ears.
God made it very difficult for the Japanese to infiltrate.
But no matter how tight the defense is, there will still be loopholes.
The little devil still passed the special high school course and developed a lot of informants in the Dameishan base area and several surrounding counties. Normally, the little devil would not use these informants, but when it was critical, he would use them.
After receiving the order from Kawabe Shozo, Nanjing Military Police Captain Kogu Shiro immediately started investigating.
Inu Shiro, an old devil, has had a hard life. The last time the Caochangmon Arsenal was bombed, the jeep he was riding in was also affected. He was seriously injured when the jeep crashed to the ground. He was just discharged from the hospital yesterday, but today he has to do this hard work.
thing.
Through the informant of the Special High School, Koinushiro quickly came into contact with the truth, and then immediately drove to Fanghua Garden to report this discovery to Kawabe Shozo who had just returned to the headquarters.
After listening to the report, Hebian Zhengzo suddenly perked up and said excitedly: "Xiaoquan-san, you mean to say that the heavy artillery of the Dameishan Independent Regiment is not a real heavy artillery, but just one modified with gasoline barrels.
A projectile weapon similar to a mortar? However, the projectile weapon of the Dameishan Independent Regiment throws solid stone bullets or solid iron balls, but it throws explosive packets?"
"Hai." Koinushiro said with a heavy pause, "The information obtained from the Special High School Course is indeed true."
"No wonder!" Hebian Zhengsan said bitterly, "No wonder the Dameishan Independent Regiment was able to possess more than 200 heavy artillery groups in such a short period of time. It's no wonder that the weapons were only converted from gasoline barrels.
If it’s clear, then everything makes sense.”
Koinushiro continued: "However, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the Special High School Division also investigated the defeated troops of the Iida detachment. From the mouths of these defeated troops, we learned that the power of the throwing weapons of the Dameishan Independent Regiment is still very terrifying.
Yes, the fortifications of the Huangnipu stronghold are not weak, but in the face of this terrible throwing opener, they are as weak as paper."
"Of course, of course." Kawabe Shozo nodded and said with deep understanding, "Otherwise, the entire Iida detachment would not have been wiped out in just two hours."
After a pause, Kawabe Shozo continued: "However, since this throwing weapon is modified with a gasoline barrel, due to the limited strength of the gasoline barrel, it cannot withstand too high a chamber pressure, so its range must be
It is very limited, and considering the huge gap between the explosive package and the wall of the oil drum, its accuracy must also be very poor."
Koinushiro said: "The Chief of Staff is right, the range of this throwing weapon is indeed not far. Although the people in the Special High School were not able to obtain the exact data, it can still be judged based on the Iida detachment's defeat report.
Its range should not exceed five hundred meters."
"Yoshi, if its range does not exceed 500 meters, it will not be difficult to deal with it." Kawabe Shozo nodded happily, and then said with some regret, "It's a pity, if I could have gotten this kind of weapon two days earlier.
With the intelligence of the weapons being thrown, the Iida detachment can make targeted deployments. It only needs to station the troops separately and it can persist for a longer period of time. In this case, the results will be completely different. It's a pity, it's a pity.
"
"Hai." Shiro Inu paused and said, "This is our military police's dereliction of duty."
"No, no, you can't blame the Gendarmerie for this." Shozo Kawabe shook his head and said, "Seriously, who would have thought that the Dameishan Independent Regiment could develop weapons? But from now on, the Gendarmerie must strengthen
The intelligence collection work on Dameishan is over."
"Hai." Xiaoquan Shiro paused and said, "I am already preparing for a large-scale infiltration plan code-named 'Trojan Horse'. Once the plan is successful, the imperial army will be able to establish a huge intelligence network in the heart of Damei Mountain.
Every move of the Meishan Independent Regiment will not escape the surveillance of the imperial army."
"Yo Xi." Hebian Zhengzo nodded happily and asked again, "By the way, what does the Dameishan Independent Regiment call the throwing weapon just mentioned?"
