Chapter 6 Four More People
It turned out that Gao Hongming just thought that he had traveled to the Anti-Japanese War 80 years ago, and never thought that he was actually the world of sword-drawing. Now it was interesting.
Needless to say, it is a classic work that is known as the anti-Japanese war drama in later generations. Many characters, including Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei, Zhao Gang, Wei Monk, Ding Wei, etc., are portrayed vividly.
Although compared to the grand world anti-*** battlefield, the sword is only a trivial part, the TV series well reflects justice and evil, iron blood and tenderness, as well as the difficulties and hardships of the Chinese anti-Japanese battlefield.
Gao Hongming didn't know before that, he had grown up under the Hongqi since childhood, just wanted to send some weapons and ammunition for the Eighth Route Army, who lacked medical treatment, but now that he knew that he had come and was exposed to the plot of Bright Sword, the subsequent plan had to be changed.
He thought for a while and asked, "Dabao, what day is today? To be more specific."
"Young Master, today is the 26th year of the Republic of China...uh...that is, February 1, 1940 in the Gregorian calendar."
"February 1"
Gao Hongming recalled that the battle of Cangyunling in Liangjian took place in February, but the specific day was not stated.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Old Wu, I will give you a task now. You will immediately send a few smart brothers to disguise themselves and ride horses to lurk near Cangyunling. Once you find signs of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese, come and report to me immediately."
Wu Chengfeng originally wanted to say something, but then stood up and saluted Gao Hongming and shouted: "Yes!"
In the next few days, the villagers of Xiaocao Village suffered a lot. From the morning to the explosion of machine guns, rifles and even mortars continued, and they did not end until the dinner in the evening.
The villagers found Gao Hongming one after another to protest. Some said that the pigs in their homes stopped eating, while others said that their homes could not lay eggs, and there were many different things.
Fortunately, the villagers' anger came and went quickly. After Gao Hongming promised to give each household twenty kilograms of food tomorrow, the protests disappeared immediately.
However, he encountered problems during the training process. Gao Hongming found that shooting was easy to say, but the lack of gunners made him very distressed.
Although what he realized was the simplest and lightest M260 mortar, even the lowest-tech artillery can't find anyone who can use it in the entire regiment.
In the end, Xiao Zhankui, who had been an artillery for a few days, took over this job. He first explained the structure of the mortar to dozens of soldiers specially selected, and then taught them the most basic eye-skipping distance measurement method, and finally taught them how to use the artillery mirror.
After emergency training, hundreds of shells were knocked out. Only then did these gunners barely get out of the army, but at best they could only hit a rough distance to the target. If they wanted to hit wherever they pointed, they had to go through long-term hard training.
However, despite this, Gao Hongming was already very satisfied. As a person from later generations, he understood the importance of artillery to the troops. It is not an exaggeration to describe the combat effectiveness of troops with artillery support and troops without artillery support as a huge difference.
After dinner, Gao Hongming asked Wu Chengfeng and Xiao Zhankui, "The live-fire training of the militia has been going on for several days. What do you think of the shooting level of the soldiers?"
"Of course, progress is very obvious." Wu Chengfeng said without hesitation: "Our militia has made only 100,000 bullets fired these days. If so many bullets are thrown out, even a pig will make progress, right?
It cannot be said that all the brothers are sharpshooters, but they are much better than the brothers of the Northwest Army back then."
“It’s true.”
Xiao Zhankui also nodded and said, "When Lao Wu and I were in the Northwest Army, it would be great that each soldier could shoot about ten bullets a year. It's not like now. Many brothers complained to me these days. Their shoulders were swollen. Can they reduce the number of live-fire shootings? But I scolded them back. These bastards are really lucky."
"It's good to make progress." Gao Hongming, who received a positive answer from his two subordinates, also felt confident. He was about to speak when Dabao rushed over.
"Young Master, there is news about the brothers who went to Cangyunling. They said that at noon today, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese started working in Cangyunling. The battle continues. Moreover, the scale of both sides is very large, at least at least five or six thousand people."
"so much?"
Wu Chengfeng and Xiao Zhankui looked at each other, and both saw the worries in each other's eyes.
The two of them were not stupid. They could guess from Gao Hongming's actions these days that the young master didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he drank. He was worried that he might have found out that Cangyunling might be fighting again, so he thought about getting involved.
But he didn't think about it, could this small militia be able to intervene in combat of this scale?
Just because of these hundreds of militia who had just trained for less than three months, they might have been eaten up by the Japanese as soon as they entered the battlefield?
There is a saying that what you worry about the most often will happen.
Gao Hongming said what they didn't want to hear the least.
"Wu Chengfeng, Xiao Zhankui, you will gather your team immediately and bring weapons and ammunition. We will head towards Cangyunling immediately."
Wu Chengfeng was anxious, "Sir...we..."
"This is an order!"
Before Wu Chengfeng could finish speaking, Gao Hongming's tone became stern, and his eyes also showed sharp gazes. At the same time, Xiao Zhankui, who was standing beside him, also poked his waist with his elbow.
Wu Chengfeng suddenly remembered that this former young man was not only his boss, but also his commander. Since he had issued an order, he had to execute it, whether it was right or wrong.
Arrived here first, he straightened his chest without hesitation and said loudly: "I understand, gather the team and prepare to head towards Cangyunling."
"Just know, execute the command."
Seeing that Wu Chengfeng finally obeyed the order, Gao Hongming felt relieved.
As an outsider, he was not only worried that he would be seen by the old people who had followed his predecessor for many years, but his most worried were that Wu Chengfeng and Xiao Zhankui, two old people who had been in the Gao family for many years, relied on their qualifications to refuse to execute their orders.
If this is the case, he would rather take Dabao out of the militia. Anyway, with the golden finger in his hand, it would not be too difficult to start a new team.
However, what he was worried about did not happen, and Wu Chengfeng finally obeyed his orders.
Looking at him and Xiao Zhankui leaving, Gao Hongming shook his head helplessly. Of course, he knew why Wu Chengfeng was hesitating just now.
A young master who had never fought a war, led hundreds of people to train for two or three months and had a militia of only more than 300 people and suddenly got involved in a war with more than ten times more than one person. No matter how you look at it, you will die. It is normal for him to raise objections.
However, soldiers regard obeying orders as their duty. No matter how ridiculous the orders are, even if there is a sea of swords and fires ahead, they must be implemented as long as they are issued. Otherwise, what's the use of military rules?
With Gao Hongming's order, the entire militia started to move. The supplies, ammunition, and the only ten mules and horses in the regiment were all over. Everything had to be prepared. Just looking at the busy figures of the militia soldiers, Gao Hongming always felt that something was missing.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that I was just shopping for guns, cannons and bullets, but I forgot to change the soldiers.
When he returned to the room, he opened the panel and checked. The soldier's military uniform was not expensive. A soldier's military uniform, military cap, military shoes, helmet, socks, belt, kettle, gas mask, blanket and other outfits cost about one yuan.
But the original three thousand oceans bought guns and ammunition. Although there was still some money in the panel, he asked Dabao to go home the day before yesterday to get some more oceans for emergency use.
Now there is only more than 400 yuan left in the panel. If you really want to buy it for everyone, you will be back to before liberation.
After hesitating for a while, he still bit his feet and stomped his feet... and bought it.
Soon, Xiao Zhankui, who was preparing for the trip, and Wu Chengfeng was called to the room by Gao Hongming, pointing to the clothes all over the room and said, "Take a few people here and send everything down."
"Sir...this..."
"Why are you still standing there? It's... at 18:23 in the evening, and at 19:00, I'm going to see all the soldiers of the militia changing and preparing!"
"yes!"
Soon, the dress-up began, and a lot of jokes were made in the process.
For example, some soldiers don’t know how to wear gas masks, while some soldiers are reluctant to wear them and plan to keep them for their relatives. They make Wu Chengfeng and Xiao Zhankui so angry that they almost bit their teeth.
After a storm, Wu Chengfeng and Xiao Zhankui were sweating profusely, more than 300 soldiers of the militia completed their dress-up.
When hundreds of militia soldiers who had been fully equipped with armed forces, a team that was completely different from the past appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and it seemed to have become different.
"Hiss... something is a little bit different."
The military uniform issued by Gao Hongming was the German standard 36-type Wehrmacht Army field uniform, gray-green top, iron-gray trousers, black military boots (for soldiers), the M35-type steel helmet worn on his head, plus the same Mauser 98K rifle, MG42 general-purpose machine gun and MP40 submachine gun, which is simply a standard German army.
"Report to the Chief, after the Liantai County VA has gathered, there should be 386 people, but 390 people have actually been sent. Please give me instructions."
"etc……"
Gao Hongming's mind was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
"Company Commander Wu, what's going on with the four extra people?"
Seeing Gao Hongming's puzzled appearance, Wu Chengfeng quickly explained: "Sir, the four additional people are actually Dr. Xie and several nurses."
