Chapter 3 Veterans

The position defended by Jiangdong Battalion is located on the edge of the river beach. There is an unnamed small river four to five meters wide 500 meters directly in front of the position.

Such a position is relatively advantageous for the defenders.

The Japanese attack had to cross the creek first, and the swampy area around the creek also greatly restricted the movement of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

Looking at the position in front of him that had been soaked in blood and gunpowder smoke countless times, Jiang Dong was full of expectations for the Japanese attack.

As a time traveler, he has countless ideas and plans in his mind to fight against the Japanese army.

But what is needed most by far is time.

Since graduating from the Army Officer School in 1935, Koto has been preparing to fight against Japanese aggression.

During the two years he studied in Germany, he did not slack off at all. The most important gain was that he made friends with a large number of German officers and some Soviet people.

The people he made friends with were naturally not ordinary unknown people. When a world war broke out, these people could more or less influence the political and military trends of various countries.

While studying abroad, Jiang Dong also elaborated on the strategies and tactics that the German nation could adopt in future wars in the form of a paper, and successfully attracted the attention of the top German military officials.

Everything he did had a purpose.

Relying on his familiarity with the historical trend, Jiangdong wanted to use this information in exchange for some free military assistance from Germany.

Jiangdong also has his own plan for where to go in the future.

First of all, we must have an independent base area and an independent army. On this basis, with the help of Germany and others, we can build our own basic military industrial system.

All Jiangdong's plans take time, and time seems so tight.

The Nationalist Government needed three months during the Battle of Songhu to ensure the inward relocation of national industries, and Jiangdong also needed these three months to prepare for the upcoming Nanjing Massacre.

So at present, he needs to ensure that the Battle of Songhu lasts for more than three months as in history, and cannot disrupt the entire course of history just because of his little butterfly that suddenly sneaks in.

Jiangdong patrolled various positions, followed by guard Xiaodouzi and the first and second company commanders.

The soldiers were busy repairing the fortifications. No one spoke, and everyone was very nervous.

"You will go down and supervise later. You must ensure that the fortifications are strong and can withstand the bombardment of the Japanese heavy artillery."

Jiang Dong said to the two company commanders behind him as he walked.

"Yes, battalion commander, please rest assured!" Li Xuelin, the first company commander, replied.

Several officers walked along the one-kilometer-long front, giving instructions from time to time to the soldiers repairing the fortifications.

"ah!"

Suddenly, a soldier who was repairing the fortifications yelled, dropped his shovel, slumped on the ground, and looked ahead in horror.

His loud shout attracted the side glances of the surrounding soldiers, and everyone stopped what they were doing.

Just as Jiang Dong was about to step forward and ask what happened, he saw Wang Laohu, the third company commander, walking hurriedly from the other direction.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

Wang Laohu shouted loudly and pushed away the soldiers blocking him.

When he reached the recruit who was slumped on the ground, he kicked him in the head.

"My grandma has never seen soldiers as cowardly as you."

The soldier who was kicked down seemed to come back to his senses and lay on the ground with a smile on his face.

Wang Laohu snorted and ignored him. He walked to where the soldiers were repairing the fortifications and picked up something with one hand.

Although Jiangdong was far away, he could still tell that it was a severed arm.

Wang Laohu's action shocked the surrounding recruits, and they all unconsciously moved a small step back.

"Tsk tsk..."

Wang Laohu held the broken arm in his palm, brought the broken part to the tip of his nose and sniffed it several times, exclaiming in surprise.

Although Wang Laohu has always been a bit vicious, his series of actions still made Jiang Dong feel a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Dong unconsciously thought of other things:

"Does this guy have a fetish for corpses?"

Startled by his sudden thoughts, Jiang Dong quickly shook his head.

I saw Wang Laohu over there waving his severed arm and saying to the soldiers surrounding him:

"Mother Gante, this was completely chipped off by shrapnel from a heavy artillery piece. I have been a soldier for so many years, and I have only experienced such heavy artillery once, and it was during the Great War in the Central Plains."

He paused and said:

"I have only heard from former officials that such a heavy artillery has a caliber of more than 100 millimeters, and it will kill within 10 meters of one shot."

"Did you see that it's okay to cut off an arm like this? I've seen someone get blasted to pieces before, and even the flesh was missing."

Wang Laohu's words made the surrounding soldiers turn blue and white.

Zhang Shengqing, the second company commander behind Jiang Dong, wanted to step forward to stop Wang Laohu from shaking the morale of the army, but was stopped by Jiang Dong.

"It's a good idea to vaccinate your brothers!"

Jiang Dong said calmly.

"Now." Wang Laohu threw the severed arm back into the arms of the soldier at the beginning, "You dig it out for others, then find a place to bury it back."

He turned around and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him:

"What the hell are you doing standing there in a daze, waiting to be hit by the kid's heavy artillery fire!"

Every soldier who was close to Wang Laohu was kicked in the butt by him.

"Mother Dute, make the fortifications stronger, otherwise you won't even be able to find the bones and dregs when you shoot them down."

The surrounding soldiers dispersed in a hurry and started working much harder than before.

Wang Laohu walked among the crowd with his hands on his hips like a victorious general.

He would scold soldiers who didn't work hard or whose fortifications were not repaired properly, and would just walk over and kick them.

"With veterans like this around, I think the brothers will feel a lot more at ease."

Jiang Dong thought in his heart,
