I'm happy to keep coming. The secret service battalion is in a state of rest and training, and the two combat defense artillery pieces under its jurisdiction have also been transferred away.
Now that the division headquarters has so generously sent mountain artillery, it might be that they are about to go to the front line, and it may be a fierce battle.
What is there for them to be happy about?
"No way." Hu Yong pointed at the soldiers training not far away and then pointed at the mountain cannon; "This is a reminder."
How long will it take for half a month? This is still a special consideration. Once the other troops are replenished, they will be dragged in to fight. So, the military headquarters took pity on me and allowed my battalion to rest and train for half a month.
"Just watch, maybe a call from the military headquarters or the division headquarters will come later." Zhou Weiguo pointed to the mountain cannon that the soldiers had covered with weeds and leaned against the door.
Ding ding ding... ding ding ding...
As soon as Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, the phone in the room rang, breaking the remaining silence.
Li Erwa answered the phone in the room and then came to Zhou Weiguo; "Batalion Commander, the phone number of the military department."
Commander Yu had already resigned as commander of the 58th Division at the beginning of the month and officially commanded the 74th Army. Since he was already under the jurisdiction of the military headquarters, the call from the military headquarters was not surprising.
Zhou Weiguo walked over and answered the phone; "Teacher, sir, this is Zhou Weiguo. Please give me the order. Our special agent battalion will go through fire and water without hesitation."
A strong voice with a hint of fatigue and a smile sounded from the microphone; "It seems that you have learned a thing or two from the mountain cannon sent over."
The microphone paused for a moment, and his voice became much harsher than before; "Yes, you are about to go to Highland 116. This location is very important. You will be the key point to cover the evacuation of our main force. This place may encounter the Huangpu River."
The naval guns on the river and the large Japanese troops attacked, so Shang Feng entrusted the task to our army. I thought about it and thought of your special agent camp."
Zhou Weiguo listened quietly, probably he understood the meaning.
After the Japanese troops landed in Hangzhou Bay, they made a detour toward Shanghai. Yesterday, the Japanese troops occupied Jinshan, and the evacuation route of the Japanese troops may be cut off.
Shang Feng made a decision, and various departments in Shanghai Jiaotong began to evacuate, and Highland 116 was a cover point. His mission was to lead the special agent battalion and a friendly division to block the Japanese attack for two days and ensure that the large forces could evacuate safely.
.
"Teacher, don't worry. Even if our troops fight to the death, our troops will resolutely complete the mission." Zhou Weiguo heard that there was no movement on the other side and said with confidence.
Commander Yu paused for a moment and said, "Well, I believe you can do it. You are the sharp knife and trump card in my hand. A battalion of his 88th Division can hold on to the warehouse for four days and four nights, showing the prestige of the 88th Division.
Having demonstrated military power, I believe you can do it, so gather and set off. You will have one day to build a position. I remind you that you must remember that there may be Japanese destroyers on the Huangpu River."
Bang... the phone was hung up just like that, and Hu Yong next to him heard it clearly.
With his face turning slightly pale, he seemed to know what this blocking battle meant to the secret service camp. It might mean the complete destruction of the entire army.
"What? I'm scared." Zhou Weiguo threw a cigarette to Hu Yong, crossed his arms and lit it, then looked at Hu Yong meaningfully.
Hu Yong snorted and lit up his cigarette, "I'm afraid, I've made a lot of money over the years, so I'm going to die. I'm afraid of nothing."
It's good to have this confidence. Zhou Weiguo smiled; "Don't worry, we can build a strong defensive position in one day." After he finished speaking, he put his helmet on his head; "Blow the assembly horn and the whole battalion assembles.
.
Position 116 is located on the right side of Longhua. It is a continuously undulating mountainous area. The entire highland and the Huangpu River in the distance form a herringbone shape.
At the foot of this earth-yellow hillside, there is a curving north-west road colored by earth-yellow weeds.
The road was quiet and silent at this moment, but Zhou Weiguo knew clearly that starting at ten o'clock in the evening, there would be a large army evacuating in the direction of Wu Fu and others to prepare for the second decisive battle with the Japanese army.
The Huangpu River in the telescope is quiet, and a row of egrets seems to be accustomed to the sound of gunfire in the distance, still looking for food on the river bank.
Slowly moving the telescope, thick black smoke appeared in the distant direction of Shanghai from time to time, rising into the sky, making the already dark and gloomy sky even more turbid.
Zhou Weiguo put down his binoculars and looked at the soldiers behind him who were digging trenches for defensive positions, and said loudly. "Be quick and dig the trenches deeper. Each person or three people must make sure there is a hole around them to avoid artillery fire. The hole must be 30 meters away from the ground."
At one meter.”
A veteran with a strong Hubei accent who was digging with an engineering shovel, Youzi raised his head and looked at Zhou Weiguo before wiping the sweat from his forehead: "Batalion Commander, why do you have to be one meter away from the ground? We didn't do it during training in the past.
Such a request."
Damn it, how can this be compared?
Looking at the soldiers coming from the security group, Zhou Weiguo patiently sat on the cold ground, tightened his military coat and pointed to the sky and the green Huangpu River in the distance.
"We have the possibility of being bombarded by Japanese aviation and naval cannons. The caliber of Japanese naval guns is over 120 mm, and the power of aerial bombs is even more powerful. You are digging for life-saving things. If you dig too shallow, they will be blown up.
If it collapses, it will be considered a burp."
Zhou Weiguo took out a cigarette, took out one, and then threw the rest over, letting the soldiers smoke it before speaking again: "We have to rely on this hole to save our lives in these two days, don't you work hard now?"
, then there will be less chance of survival.”
Everything is imaginary. It is real to be able to return alive on the battlefield. It is destined to be a bloody battle here. He doesn't know how much he will have left after the two days of fighting, but Zhou Weiguo plans to,
Take them home as much as possible instead of dying here.
"Let's all take action." Seeing that everyone understood, Zhou Weiguo came to the machine gun position and patted the machine gunner who was busy building the position. He said to Hu Yong who was following him; "After you have finished digging for a while, assist the machine gun position above them.
To build a certain bunker, it is best to cut down some thick trees to build supports, and place sandbags and soil on top. What they will encounter will definitely be the most violent blow."
Hu Yong took a step forward and nodded: "Don't worry, battalion commander, after my second company's position is completed, I will personally come over to help them set up their position."
