"Best greetings, Chairman!" Bai Chongxi said quickly.

Chairman Jiang immediately said: "I want to speak to Wei Mingyang and confirm the news with him!"

Bai Chongxi said: "What kind of gun should I send him? A 150mm howitzer?"

This is the most powerful artillery piece equipped by the Chinese army's artillery.

The chairman wants to speak to Wei Mingyang, but the phone number at Wusongkou Fort has not been restored yet, and calls can only be made to Baoshan County.

Captain Lu immediately sent someone to drive a motorcycle to the fort to inform him: Let Battalion Commander Wei rush to Baoshan County, and the Chairman of the Committee will speak to him in person.

Li Cheng and his security team of more than 700 people had not even approached the fort when they were overtaken by a motorcycle behind them.

Hearing that the Chairman wanted to speak to him personally, Wei Mingyang really couldn't understand: Why is this?

However, he sang whatever songs he reached and left the command of the fort to Gu Zuo.

Driving a motorcycle, taking Lu Fei, Yang Dazhu, and a mortar with him, he set off.

Half an hour later, Chairman Jiang finally heard a voice coming from the other side: "Report! Wei Mingyang, acting battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment, is reporting!"

Hearing this voice, Chairman Jiang smiled and said: "Battle Commander Wei! The word "acting" can be removed. I have just asked the Military and Political Department to officially appoint you as the commander of the second battalion of the 583rd Regiment."

First he gave me a sweet date, and then he asked in detail about the ambush of the Japanese warship today.

Finally he asked: "Captain Wei! If I give you a good cannon, can you hold Wusongkou and prevent the Japanese naval fleet from covering the Japanese landing again?"

"Within my sight, I promise not to let the Japanese come ashore!"

"Okay! Okay! What kind of cannon do you need?"

"Report to the committee! We need a Krupp 88mm anti-aircraft gun!" Wei Mingyang had already thought about this.

"Isn't a 150mm howitzer better? It shoots farther and is more powerful!" The chairman still favored Bai Chongxi's analysis.

"Report to the commission! The 150mm howitzer does have such advantages, but its shortcomings are also very obvious: it cannot defend itself against Japanese aircraft, and its rate of fire is too slow to quickly attack cluster targets!"

Once the shortcomings were explained, Chairman Chiang understood them.

He immediately said: "Captain Wei! Guard Wusongkou. The cannon you want will arrive tonight!"

"Report to the committee! At least 500 rounds of artillery shells will be delivered with the artillery!"

"So much? Good!"

…

After putting down the phone, Chairman Chiang's face flushed and he said to the room full of generals: "Battle Commander Wei said: Give him a cannon, and the Japanese on the civil war ships will not be able to land within sight!"

"Cixiu! Send a report to Luo Zhuoying and order him to immediately send an 88mm anti-aircraft gun imported from Germany to Wusongkou Fort.

In addition, a 150mm Krurr howitzer will be sent over.

The artillerymen had to select the best, and each gun was equipped with 500 rounds of shells.

At the same time, ask him to send 500 82mm mortar shells and 500 60mm mortar shells.

The infantry artillery sent a thousand shells over.

It must be delivered before six o'clock yesterday morning.

Tell him: This is the decisive mission to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Third Infantry Division!"

"Yes!" Chen Cheng stood up and agreed.

Cheng Qian was a little annoyed: "Commission! Equip a battalion with so many artillery shells! Is it too much?

This amount is more than the amount of artillery shells we allocate to an army."

"Songyun! For a team that can use one mortar to annihilate a fleet and 60 people to annihilate an infantry brigade and an artillery brigade of the Japanese army, this kind of ammunition is not much.

If any army can do one of these things, I will allocate him so many artillery shells!"

Cheng Qian stopped talking this time: In fact, there was indeed a division or an army in the national army that annihilated thousands of Japanese troops.

But none of them were able to wipe out a large Japanese army, and the amount of ammunition equipped by these teams far exceeded this value.

"Jiansheng! Immediately follow the plan just now, formulate a detailed combat plan, and dispatch all troops into the position!

Can everyone arrive at the combat position before ten o'clock tomorrow morning?"

Bai Chongxi drew the current positions of each team on the map: "Commitment! Yes!"

"good!"

…

Li Cheng led 750 soldiers from the security regiment to the fort.

When they arrived at the fort, they handed over the soldiers first, and then told Wei Mingyang that the commander-in-chief wanted a Zuoguan sword as a souvenir.

Such a small thing is not difficult at all. Today we annihilated an infantry brigade of Japanese soldiers and captured about a dozen Zuoguan knives.

Some of the Japanese squad leaders are majors, all squadron leaders are majors, and infantry captains are majors;

The artillery battalion commander is a lieutenant colonel, and the squadron commanders are all majors. The twenty-one sergeant's swords captured this time are nothing but one for the commander-in-chief.

A rifle and three hundred rounds of bullets! Wei Mingyang also gave him a steel helmet, two pairs of leather shoes taken off the Japs' feet, a satchel, and a belt.

The current commander-in-chief is wearing the uniform of the security team, but he is fully armed and has replaced his gun with a cannon. He is very majestic.

Wei Mingyang admired the security leader who was able to send his entire regiment to the front line.

Three soldiers were specially sent to drive him to Wolpo on a motorcycle. This was the limit of what he could do.

Li Cheng had already selected fifty soldiers on the way, plus the remaining twelve veterans.

His security platoon, including him, totaled sixty-three people, and they were immediately organized into four squads, with fifteen people in each squad.

He left two smart security guards to serve as his correspondents and messengers.

Each class is assigned a squad leader and two squad vice-presidents, both of whom are veterans.

Each veteran leads four security guards, and this is the case for every class.

The guard platoon has four squads, and he has set up a light machine gun squad, a heavy machine gun squad, a submachine gun squad, and a general squad.

In this way, the firepower of his guard platoon is sufficient.

But compared with the four companies of the second battalion, it is far behind.

Wei Mingyang received 700 additional troops, and together with the original 47 men, the whole battalion had a total of 747 men.

He set up a company of two hundred and fifty men,

Each company added a machine gun platoon, all equipped with heavy machine guns, mortars and light machine guns, and also equipped with three infantry guns.

Of the twelve infantry guns captured today, four were allocated to each of the three companies.

The six tanks were also evenly distributed among the three infantry companies.

Each infantry platoon is equipped with three grenade launchers and six light machine guns.

The team reorganization is completed and weapons and equipment are distributed.

It's already half past two in the afternoon.

Wei Mingyang ordered: "All battalions have them! Each company immediately organizes soldiers to learn the use and maintenance of various firearms. The time is one hour."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the whole battalion started firing live ammunition!
Chapter completed!
