When Commander Yang Sen of the 20th Army learned that the Sichuan Army soldiers of the 810th Regiment had recaptured Qiaotingzhai and Dunwu Temple, he immediately became energetic.
Although the sun had just risen, he had no intention of continuing to sleep. Moreover, it was still during the war, so he didn't have much thought to sleep later.
In particular, Yang Sen had already seen the Japanese army's individual combat capabilities and sophisticated weapons and equipment, so he was not very sure that Xiang Wenbin's regiment could retake the occupied Dunwu Temple with one regiment.
So when he received the great news that Xiang Wenbin's regiment had unexpectedly succeeded in their night attack and regained the lost ground, it would be strange for him not to be surprised.
Moreover, Xiang Wenbin's regiment was able to steal food from the mouths of well-trained Japanese soldiers, which is really awe-inspiring.
You must know that Xiang Wenbin's regiment is surrounded by elite Central Army troops, but even the most elite National Army troops are still unable to regain the lost ground.
However, a Sichuan army unit with inferior weapons and equipment that entered the battlefield for the first time did it.
So at this moment, as the commander-in-chief of this Sichuan army that had achieved outstanding results, Yang Sen suddenly felt elated and overjoyed.
He felt that his waist was much straighter.
Although Xiang Wenbin is not his direct confidant, nor is he a relative or friend of their Yang family, Yang Sen still needs to reward Xiang Wenbin and his remaining troops for making such great contributions, and
Say something encouraging.
"Send someone to tell Commander Xiang immediately. I will immediately report his achievements to the military committee. I will ask him for credit. I will apply for promotion to Army Infantry Colonel, so now let him continue to carry it.
Troops, immediately consolidate the Dunwu Temple position, and I will immediately send support troops to reinforce them and continue to resist the Japanese counterattack."
So Yang Sen quickly and happily issued combat instructions to the communications officer beside him.
"Yes! Military seat!"
Communications officer Cao Ziming quickly agreed.
Then he turned around and left, going to ask someone to convey Yang Sen's orders and instructions to Commander Xiang Wenbin.
At this time, the Chairman’s residence,
The Chairman also received the good news from the front line in the morning.
The Qiaotingzhai and Dunwu Temple positions occupied by the Japanese army were actually successfully recovered by the 810th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, led by Xiang Wenbin, who was deployed for the first time.
"Okay! That's great! Since the Battle of Songhu, our troops have had less and less exciting news. Xiang Wenbin has done a really good job. He can actually use a weapon to
Troops with poor equipment can achieve results that our elite troops cannot achieve!"
“It’s simply an incredible miracle!”
"If all the generals in our army are so heroic in killing the enemy, how could our battle situation in Songhu be in such an increasingly worse state now?"
"No! I must reward this Sichuan Army officer Xiang Wenbin properly!"
"And give him a bonus of 6,000 yuan!"
"What a pity! He is not my student, he is just a local army officer. Otherwise, I will definitely put him to good use!"
When the Chairman read the battle report with good news, he immediately felt in a good mood and kept praising Wenbin.
Of course, while he was very happy, he quickly and generously rewarded Xiang Wenbin with promotion to official position and bonus.
Because during the Anti-Japanese War, there were regulations for the promotion of official positions in the national army: "The official position is one level lower than the position, and the official promotion must be calculated with full-year seniority.
Especially if you are in Jansen's army, it will be even more difficult to get promoted and make a fortune, because the officers who can be promoted are all descendants of the Yang family where Jansen is located and close confidants.
Even if he wants to be promoted from his current position of lieutenant colonel to colonel, it still depends on Jansen's face.
He Feiyang had no idea about the overjoyed mood of the Chairman and Yang Sen, or how they would treat Xiang Wenbin next.
Because now he is more concerned about his own supply of soldiers, whether there is a way to replenish them, and how long the remaining subordinates can survive.
Including how long he can live,
As for his surviving subordinates, they are eating, drinking and having breakfast at this moment.
These breakfasts only consist of lean meat porridge and fried dough sticks.
These were the prizes that He Feiyang had received from system rewards before, so he also gave these foods to his subordinates to share.
Of course, he himself also got a bowl of lean meat porridge and two fried dough sticks for breakfast.
Because he still needed to replenish his strength as soon as possible. After eating and drinking enough, he could continue to build fortifications and continue to fight against the Japanese troops who would come back at any time for a second attack.
As for where He Feiyang obtained these breakfasts, his subordinates still did not inquire too much, and the portions of these lean meat porridge and fried dough sticks were not large.
Anyone who is slower may not be able to eat it, but will be taken away by other Sichuan soldiers.
"It seems that we have to find a way to get some heavy machine gunners and gunners who know how to fire artillery for our troops. Otherwise, if we rely solely on rifles to fight without heavy firepower weapons and equipment to assist in the battle, I am afraid that the next battle will be very difficult.
It’s not easy to fight at all!”
After finishing breakfast, He Feiyang also had an idea and murmured to himself.
Then he stood up immediately and went to find Captain Xiang Wenbin.
At this time, Commander Xiang Wenbin had already eaten simple dry food and was commanding his remaining troops. After resting, he continued to build fortifications to defend the Dunwu Temple and wait for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.
"Well! Feiyang! Do you have something to do with me?"
When Captain Xiang Wenbin saw He Feiyang walking up to him, he also asked with a bright smile.
"Yes! Xiang leader!"
"I plan to ask you for two machine gunners who know how to operate Mark heavy machine guns. I also want one or two artillerymen, so I don't know if you have such talents to supplement my troops!"
"Because yesterday I captured two Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns, two Japanese grenade launchers, and a limited number of grenade shells!"
"I plan to put these Japs' heavy firepower weapons and equipment into combat use to increase the combat effectiveness and survival rate of my troops!"
In response to Captain Wenbin's kind inquiry, He Feiyang, who was asking for help, also responded in a gentle tone.
He was very frank and put forward his requirements for gunners and machine gunners.
"Ah! This"
Hearing this, Captain Xiang Wenbin was speechless for a moment.
Because his own remaining troops did not have many machine gunners or artillerymen who knew how to bombard. If they were given to He Feiyang, then he would definitely lose these precious talents.
