With sophisticated weapons, equipment and ammunition, the remnants of the Sichuan Army's 26th Division were all motivated to kill the incoming Japanese troops. Especially those wounded soldiers who had received medical treatment were even more grateful to He Feiyang for saving his life.
Grace.
But at this time, the troops who were equally shocked as the troops of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army were the Northeastern Army.
Because He Feiyang gave these Northeastern troops 12 105 mm caliber heavy artillery,
There are still enough shells for three days of fighting,
So when Commander Wu of the Northeastern Army saw the weapons, equipment and ammunition promised by He Feiyang in place, he was immediately shocked and stunned.
When they first met and chatted, He Feiyang told Commander Wu that he would give him good artillery when he finally ended the conversation.
At that time, Commander Wu didn't pay much attention to him.
Because he just thought that the artillery that He Feiyang said he wanted to give to him was at most an 82mm caliber mortar or a 75mm caliber mountain cannon.
But who knew that He Feiyang sent his clone troop out of the city, and less than an hour later, when he came back in a transport truck, there were 12 extra large-caliber heavy artillery pieces, and a dazzling array of artillery shells.
So when he was in the Sichuan Army replacing them with new German weapons and equipment, he and all the officers under him were shocked, especially the artillery officers of the artillery units of the Northeast Army.
Even more so, he was also shocked by He Feiyang's wealth.
"Is this really the Sichuan Army that is unanimously considered by all the troops to be the poorest? Those Sichuan Army troops who are called the Straw Shoes Army and Double Smoking Guns? Is this because their weapons and equipment are inferior? Poor?"
"Hiss! The troops with so many sophisticated weapons and equipment, or heavy firepower weapons, equipment and ammunition are all called poor, so wouldn't our Northeast Army not even be called poor?"
At the same time, in the minds of these shocked Northeastern Army officers, including Commander Wu, they all felt the same sense of surprise and shouted in their hearts.
Because these were simply the most lethal heavy artillery on the battlefield, which made it impossible for them to ignore He Feiyang's ability.
It also completely subverted their view of the Sichuan Army.
Because the senior leaders and officers of all the troops have always felt and heard that the weapons and equipment of the Sichuan Army are very inferior, and they even wear thin military uniforms and straw sandals to march and fight.
In fact, when these Northeastern troops saw the remnants of the Sichuan Army's 26th Division, they verified everyone's statement, which was completely correct and not lying.
But now when I saw the configuration of He Feiyang’s weapons and equipment,
All the Northeast Army felt that even the relatively wealthy ones had become a poor army.
However, after the shock, Commander Wu was also very grateful to He Feiyang for giving so many large-caliber heavy artillery to his artillery unit for defensive operations.
To express my gratitude to Commander Wu,
He Feiyang asked him to pay attention to hiding these large-caliber heavy artillery, so as not to be blown up by the Japanese flying troops. Otherwise, they would be destroyed by the Japanese aircraft before they even started bombarding the incoming Japanese troops.
It was blown up.
In this way, the heavy artillery he provided was wasted as a trump card against the Japanese troops.
In addition, He Feiyang also gave Commander Wu some anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns for air defense.
"Hiss! There are even anti-aircraft guns, but there are so many anti-aircraft machine guns?"
"Is this He Feiyang really just a battalion commander of the Sichuan Army? A small officer?"
"How come he is so wealthy and possesses so many heavy firepower weapons and equipment? And he is so generous with it? Isn't he afraid that we will take these sophisticated heavy firepower weapons and equipment and make them his own?"
When the Northeastern Army saw that He Feiyang once again promised to give them an anti-aircraft artillery group and an anti-aircraft machine gun group, and indeed within an hour, he once again asked people to go out of the city to give weapons, equipment and ammunition to driver transport vehicles and transport them.
After returning to the city,
These Northeastern troops were once again manipulated by such a miraculous rich man as He Feiyang, and were shocked and dumbfounded.
At the same time, their minds were once again in disbelief, shouting and exclaiming.
Of course, he knew nothing about the shocking thoughts in the hearts of these Northeastern troops.
So after he completed the delivery of these weapons and equipment to the Northeast Army,
He began to lead his own troops and chose Cangcheng to defend Songjiang.
"Cangcheng" was the largest grain storage area in Songjiang Prefecture during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the origin of water transportation.
Cangcheng covers an area of 990 acres
It has buildings from the Ming, Qing and Republic of China generations.
The walls of Cangcheng are high and complete.
Surrounded by water on both sides, transportation is convenient.
There are about 1,000 original residents in Cangcheng.
What He Feiyang was looking for was the tall city wall of Cangcheng, and the depth inside was large enough so that it would not be destroyed by the Japanese heavy artillery bombardment.
But there is also a huge shortcoming here, that is, the peripheral residential areas must be safe and will not be fully occupied by the Japanese army.
Otherwise, the entire city of Cangcheng would fall into an island state, besieged by the Japanese army, and unable to fly.
Unless you have a helicopter unit from later generations, you can take off and escape inside.
It's just that the troops protecting the periphery are only those whose weapons, equipment and ammunition are provided by ordinary security teams, and they are also the kind of security teams with a limited amount of ammunition.
So in order to protect Cangcheng even better,
He Feiyang also asked Commander Wu for two battalions of troops to help defend the city.
Even the remnants of the Sichuan Army's 26th Division were all arranged outside Cangcheng.
Because once Cangcheng is lost, it may be difficult for these troops to escape back to the main city of Songjiang City.
Unless all the artillery units of the Japanese army are destroyed,
If the Japanese army does not have artillery shelling and bombing, then they don’t have to worry about survival.
So for this matter, He Feiyang has already prepared artillery to fight against the Japanese artillery group.
As for He Feiyang's request for two battalions of troops to help defend the peripheral Cangcheng position,
Commander Wu of the Northeastern Army generously provided a reinforced regiment of troops to assist He Feiyang in holding the city's perimeter.
In this regard, He Feiyang was also very grateful to Commander Wu for his generosity.
In fact, the reason why Commander Wu did not hesitate to give a reinforced regiment to He Feiyang to command the battle was because not only did he want to be grateful to the other party for gifting so many weapons and equipment with multiple firepower for the battle, but he also
And it was because he knew very well that He Feiyang's weapons and equipment were very sophisticated, and there was also an artillery group that was about to be deployed in Cangcheng.
Therefore, He Feiyang has the ability to fight against the Japanese artillery troops. Even if he loses in the end, he will not say that he cannot escape back to the main city of Songjiang.
If he had never seen He Feiyang's wealthy heavy firepower weapons and equipment, as well as anti-aircraft weapons and equipment, he might not have agreed so readily.
You must know that if he simply saw Songjiang City, he would be able to evacuate as long as he held on for three days with his troops.
Then his troops still have a glimmer of hope,
However, if you rush into Cangcheng without heavy firepower weapons and equipment, once the outer residential areas are occupied by the Japanese army,
The troops in Cangcheng will definitely be dead or alive.
Even if he agrees, the two division commanders and eight infantry regiment commanders under his command may not agree, nor will the chief of staff, Major General Wu Tonggang, because it is almost like committing suicide.
But now the situation is different. They have heavy firepower weapons and equipment and anti-aircraft firepower, and He Feiyang, such an elite force,
These high-level officials of the Northeast Army are not so afraid to accept being stationed here.
Anyway, after 72 hours, you can evacuate.
So whether it is Zhang Wenqing, commander of the 108th Division, Jin Kuibi, commander of the 107th Division, Major General Deng Yuzhuo, chief of staff of the 107th Division, Major General Zhu Zhirong, commander of the 321st Brigade of the 107th Division, Major General Liu Qiwen, commander of the 322nd Brigade of the 108th Division, and Major General Xia Shuxun, commander of the 324th Brigade of the 108th Division
Waiting for four senior generals,
After their Commander Wu agreed, they all looked at each other and expressed that they could accept it.
This combat mission was handed over to the troops under Major General Liu Qiwen, commander of the 322nd Brigade of the 108th Division, who took the initiative to accept the mission.
