Chapter 179 Battlefield Summary Meeting
First Battalion Commander Meng Zhaoyue came a little late and appeared with laughter and a heavy expression. When Sun Chuanfang saw this, he put away his smile and sighed slightly. At this time, it was Tong Nianhua's job, and Sun Chuanfang did not speak. Tong Nianhua, who cooperated tacitly, stepped forward.
Go, patted Meng Zhaoyue on the shoulder and said
: "Fu Shuai said that dying for the interests of the country and the nation is more important than Mount Tai. The blood of the brothers who sacrificed will not be in vain. This country and this nation will definitely remember them. Write down their names and I will report them to you.
They celebrate their success and strive for food and clothing for their families."
When these words came out, the expressions of the officers and soldiers were all wrong. When a soldier fights, he is dangling under the eyes of the god of death. If the bullet does not have eyes, his life will be taken care of. But what about the family? In the past, in Beiyang, they just treated a little fever.
Buried money is like a one-time transaction. Whether you can get the money or not is a matter of debate. During the Beiyang period, anything could happen.
"Chief of Staff, I see that everyone is very concerned about the aftermath. Could you please tell me about the rules of the National Defense Forces." Meng Zhaoyue said what everyone wanted to say in time. Tong Nianhua smiled slightly and said: "Brothers, the National Defense Forces generously sympathize with the brothers who died in the battle.
It’s a rule, so I won’t say much more about it. Everyone knows about Sun Ergou.
Everyone has heard it. As far as I know, all the soldiers and soldiers of our national defense and the families of those who died in battle are exempted from taxation and are given a public job with a monthly salary of at least five yuan. Brothers work hard for the country, and the country will not treat you badly.
When they are injured or disabled, there are Invalid Army Farms in Wuhu and Anqing to accommodate the brothers."
The officers and soldiers understood what they heard and showed reassuring expressions. At this time, the deputy commander came over and said: "The regiment, division and brigade are all here." As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Tongwu and Fang Zhenwu came out from the corner of the traffic trench. Although Fang Zhenwu
He is only a brigade commander, but he is from the teaching team. This background is already a historical term in the National Defense Force, but its significance is extraordinary. The training team has been organized for three periods, and Fang Zhenwu is considered to be the first one, and his worth has increased sharply.
In front of Fang Zhenwu, Shen Tongwu couldn't act like a division commander, but Fang Zhenwu never pretended to be a disciple of the Emperor. He was also very low-key at ordinary times. He was originally in the logistics force, and there was a shortage of officers during the reorganization, so he was transferred to become the brigade commander. Tong Nianhua
He is a second-term student of the teaching team, and he is considered a junior. Most of the second-term students are in the positions of deputy commander and battalion commander. The top students from mainland China are the exception. There are only thirty or fifty people who can become the battalion commander. Others
They are all occupying the position of company commander.
"Tong Nianhua, how are the casualties of the troops? Why haven't they been reported yet?" Fang Zhenwu sounded unhappy and glared at Tong Nianhua. There is no need to be polite among the brothers in the teaching team.
"Reporting to the brigade, the numbers are still being finalized. So far, the first battalion has eighty-eight casualties, including thirty killed in action. The second battalion has suffered smaller casualties, thirty-seven, with seventeen killed in action." Tong Nianhua finished speaking and looked at it.
Meng Zhaoyue and Battalion Commander Meng stepped forward and saluted: "The division seat and the brigade seat are mainly casualties caused by the Japanese artillery. The Japanese army brought heavy artillery, but the division artillery failed to provide fire support. Brothers were more passive in fighting."
"Don't talk to me about heavy artillery. Let me tell you, the heavy artillery unit is in the hands of the headquarters. I can't even see the shadow of heavy artillery. Don't count on the division artillery now. The battle is still going on. This is all we can do for the time being.
Okay." Shen Tongwu simply put an end to these people's thoughts. Wasn't he just complaining that the division artillery regiment could help suppress the Japanese artillery?
"What are the casualties of the Japanese army?" Fang Zhenwu changed the subject. He could not take the lead in challenging the prestige of the division commander. If the superiors found out, the brigade commander would not be able to do it. In the eyes of the military, if there is no respect for superiors, the punishment will be severe.
"Back at the hotel, the Japanese army did not seek any favors. The casualties were at least about 300 people." Speaking of this, Sun Chuanfang became more angry. This battle showed the majesty of the 91st Regiment, and Sun Chuanfang, the commander of the regiment, had a bright face. The Japanese army is not as difficult to fight as expected. As everyone knows, the National Defense Forces are already far superior to the Japanese army in terms of light weapons. With the current light weapons and equipment, the Japanese army in World War II is no match. Not to mention that the current Japanese army does not even have light machine guns. One, not to mention grenades and infantry artillery. Sun Chuanfang's 91st Regiment still has six infantry artillery that have never had a chance to perform.
"Master, while all the front-line troops are here, let's hold a summary meeting here." Fang Zhenwu suggested. Shen Tongwu nodded and said: "There is also the second battalion of the troops engaged in the battle. Let the commander of the second battalion, Li Delin, come over too. .”
When Li Zongren arrived in a hurry, a temporary summary meeting was being held in the trench. A lantern was hung next to it, and it was covered with newspapers to prevent it from being seen by the Japanese troops on the far side and attracting artillery fire. A group of officers were sitting on the ground, summarizing the battle. gains and losses.
It is the tradition of the National Defense Forces to summarize after every battle. This is an iron rule set by the founding of the army. When Shen Tongwu saw Li Zongren coming in, he raised his hand to signal him to sit down and listened to Meng Zhaoyue continue to speak.
"The Japanese small-nosed soldiers have very strong combat effectiveness and accurate marksmanship. Ten of our battalion's machine gunners were injured. Fortunately, there were only minor injuries due to the baffle, otherwise few of them would have survived. The Japanese army was suppressed by our mortar fire. At this time, the charging formation was not in disorder, and their heavy machine guns would immediately launch suppressive fire, hitting the thieves accurately. One-third of our battalion's casualties were caused by Japanese machine guns. In addition, they hit Japanese targets 200 meters away. He has obvious advantages in marksmanship. Even though he was suppressed by the firepower of our army, he was still able to use accurate marksmanship to cause certain casualties to our brothers in the battalion. Of course, the casualties of the Japanese army were even greater."
At this time, Shen Tongwu turned to Li Zongren and smiled: "Great talent, tell me, the casualties of the Second Battalion are not big, and the results of the battle are not small. Tell me, do you have any tips?"
"Hello, sirs, there is actually no secret to a humble position. Fu Shuai told us when he was taking classes at Mainland China. The quality of individual soldiers of the Japanese army is much higher than that of our army. There may be seven or eight sharpshooters among ten people. So let's talk about it. It is unwise for the Japanese army to shoot at long distances. During the battle, our battalion first used mortars to suppress it. When the Japanese army entered the range of 200 meters, the light and heavy machine guns opened fire together. The distance was 150 meters to 200 meters. Inside, the Japanese army's advantage in marksmanship was greatly weakened. Since the Japanese army did not know much about our army's equipment, the Japanese army suffered a great loss in the exchange of fire at this distance. In particular, the squad machine guns of our battalion exerted great power. The casualties of the Japanese army were mainly caused by our light machine guns. The heavy machine guns were mainly used to suppress the Japanese heavy machine guns. The other was the use of mortars. The 60MM mortar was used to attack the Japanese heavy machine guns and had the best effect. Send For the six snipers who came to the camp, I asked them to shoot Japanese officers with their eyes on the head."
Li Zongren finished speaking calmly, then shut up and sat down. Shen Tongwu looked at the crowd and said: "Li Delin's second battalion can take advantage of the battlefield, which shows that his method is feasible. To sum up, in The whole division promoted it and reported it to the former enemy headquarters. I also want to tell you some good news. The Hakou team blew up the Japanese landing site, destroying a large amount of military supplies. The Japanese attacked twice and then did not continue. It should be related to this incident. "
Weifang, the former enemy headquarters. A group of young staff officers were still conducting deductions around the sand table. Fang Jianxiong and Cai E were drinking tea in a separate room, patiently waiting for the news from the front. It was a little better at the beginning. , Fang Dashuai held a copy of "Zuo Zhuan" in his hand and pretended to be a cultural man, while Cai E stood in front of the map and looked at it for a long time.
As the sky gradually darkened, the last news from the front did not arrive. Shen Tongwu sent a telegram, "The Japanese army launched two attacks and our army repelled them. Details will be reported later."
Fang Jianxiong and Cai E were both concerned about the performance of the National Defense Forces on the battlefield. It was a fact that they repelled the Japanese army, but the casualties and the effectiveness of new weapons and tactics were all their concerns. When dealing with the Beiyang Army, Fang Jianxiong did not I am worried about this, but I really have no idea about the Japanese army. In a battle with this kind of beast army that is not afraid of death, even a time traveler does not dare to have the slightest chance. If there is no final news, it is not considered to be in the heart. end.
It was already dark, and neither Fang Jianxiong nor Cai E had the intention to eat. Yin Weijun came in several times, but what he saw was Marshal Fang dropped his book and stood with his hands behind his back facing the window. Without any nonsense, he quietly left. Yin Weijun knew very well. Fang Jianxiong felt pressure in his heart, so he went to the telecommunications office within five minutes to ask for news.
Walking out of the telecommunications office again, Yin Weijun shook his head when he saw Yang Yongtai waiting at the door. Yang Yongtai said angrily: "What is Shen Tongwu doing? Why hasn't the news come yet?"
Yin Weijun said in a low voice: "Don't say this in front of Fushuai. If you turn around and say that you talked about people behind their backs, I won't be happy. The soldiers fighting at the front have the highest status in Fushuai's heart."
"Thank you, Director Yin, for reminding me. I'll keep it in mind." Yang Yongtai is a latecomer and still doesn't understand some things. Naturally, I have to thank Yin Weijun for reminding me. Besides, Heroine Yin is still expecting to give birth in Wuhu. Right now. There is only one woman who can get close to the marshal. There is also Shangguan Xue, who is here as a bodyguard.
Director of Military Intelligence Zhao Hao came in from outside in a hurry, happened to bump into these two people, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Director Yin, and Director Yang." The two men were not polite at all, they nodded and looked guardedly. Otherwise, the spies are not popular at all! Even though Zhao Hao has made great contributions, in the minds of those around Marshal Fang, their status is not high, so they are all on guard against him.
"Director Zhao, is there any good news?" Yang Yongtai asked. Zhao Hao smiled and said nothing. Yang Yongtai was unhappy and turned back to wait for the telegram. Yin Weijun looked at him and whispered: "What's wrong?"
Chapter completed!
