"Report! Captain! The Sichuan Army troops sent by Commander Yang Sen of the 20th Sichuan Army have arrived at our defensive position. Please give instructions!"
Just as Commander Gui and Deputy Commander Major General Zhou Zhenqiang were talking about whether the Sichuan Army troops were lost, Operations Staff Officer Li Yaohua also hurriedly ran to them to report.
"Huh? It's finally here. I really thought they were lost!"
Upon hearing that the Sichuan Army troops had finally arrived at the Purple Mountain defense line where they were located, Captain Gui and Deputy Captain Zhou Zhenqiang looked at each other and said with a smile.
His mood improved slightly,
"But Captain, the weapons and equipment of these Sichuan troops who came to support our operations are very inferior. They are much inferior to the weapons and equipment of the local troops of the Guangdong Army. They even don't have much ammunition. Maybe we
We also need to provide them with ammunition!"
But before Captain Gui could be happy for long, combat staff officer Li Yaohua continued to report.
"What!"
Captain Gui and Deputy Commander Major General Zhou Zhenqiang were also surprised when they heard that the weapons and equipment of the Sichuan troops who came to assist in the battle were not good.
"What's going on here? Didn't you say that the weapons and equipment of He Feiyang's Sichuan Army are pretty good? They defeated several Japanese army attacks in Cangcheng and Songjiang City one after another!"
"It's not like he was crippled by the Japanese army and retreated, right?"
"Forget it, let's go!"
"Let's go over and see what's going on?"
After being surprised, Captain Gui muttered to the deputy captain, Major General Zhou Zhenqiang.
"Yeah! OK! But you just said it wrong. These Sichuan Army troops who came to report are not the Sichuan Army troops commanded by He Feiyang in Cangcheng and Songjiang City. They are sent by Commander Yang Sen to wait for He Feiyang to arrive in Nanjing, the capital.
His command of the troops in action!"
"So it's normal for their weapons and equipment to be inferior!"
"Because Yang Sen's Sichuan army is a local army that lacks heavy firepower weapons and equipment. There is no way to compare it with the elite troops of Commander Liu Xiang, the King of Sichuan!"
Regarding Captain Gui's confusion and slight dissatisfaction, the deputy captain, Major General Zhou Zhenqiang, smiled and reminded him.
"Hahaha! Yes! I was confused for a moment, because the unit I most hoped to support our battle was that He Feiyang's Sichuan Army unit. You know what his record is. He is an anti-Japanese hero and a talented officer.
!”
"If he comes, then even if I need to supply them with ammunition, there will be no problem!"
"As long as he can lead his troops to maintain the same record against the Japanese invaders in Cangcheng as in Songjiang City, then I am very willing to give them the best weapons, equipment, and ammunition to fight!"
After hearing the reminder from the deputy captain, Major General Zhou Zhenqiang,
Captain Gui was stunned for a moment and then laughed heartily.
Major General Zhou Zhenqiang, the deputy captain, smiled slightly and did not answer, so he followed him to see the Sichuan troops who came to report.
As for the Chief of Staff, Colonel Qiu Qingquan, and the Chief of Staff, Colonel Wan Chengqu, they also remained silent and followed them to see the Sichuan Army troops.
soon,
They saw the Sichuan Army troops sent by Commander Yang Sen.
Although these Sichuan soldiers are still relatively strong in stature, their clothes, weapons and equipment are very inferior, and they look shabby.
Because they are also troops who have evacuated from the front line, and they are still following the instructions of the Military Commission along the way to escort some refugees for evacuation, and to assist in the evacuation of some main elite troops.
So they never stopped fighting, and they became disgraced.
Even the weapons and equipment on hand are relatively short of ammunition. If Commander Yang Sen hadn't selected all the remaining elites,
I'm afraid the impression these Sichuan soldiers have given the senior leaders of the teaching corps is even worse.
"How to place them?"
Seeing that the weapons and equipment were really inferior, and his face was still full of disgrace,
Captain Gui also felt obviously depressed for a while.
So he turned to the deputy commander, Major General Zhou Zhenqiang, the chief of staff, Colonel Qiu Qingquan, and the chief of staff, Colonel Wan Chengqu, to communicate and inquire.
"Let them eat something first, take a rest and replenish their ammunition!"
"Otherwise, in their current state, they will not be able to assist us in fighting, and they might even implicate us in helping them fight the Japanese!"
Chief of Staff Colonel Qiu Qingquan first suggested.
"I think so too!"
"Me too!"
Major General Zhou Zhenqiang, deputy captain, and Colonel Wan Chengqu, chief of staff, also quickly agreed.
"Okay! I'll handle it as you two suggested!"
Captain Gui nodded in agreement.
Then with a wave of his hand, he asked some guards around him to take these Sichuan soldiers to rest and replenish ammunition.
Although he doesn't like the arrival of such a beggar-like local army, he still needs to supply a certain amount of ammunition and even weapons and equipment, because he still has more than 20,000 new soldiers under his command, all of whom are only equipped with light weapons and equipment and a little heavier firepower.
Weapons and equipment are not available yet.
However, Commander Yang Sen and He Feiyang, the recently famous anti-Japanese hero, still need to be given a little respect.
Therefore, Captain Gui did not complain much, but decisively agreed.
Anyway, he didn't have any heavy firepower weapons and equipment to supply these Sichuan troops. At most, like his own recruits, he used some light weapons and equipment to fight against the Japanese.
After he made the decision, a group of guards around him immediately took action and took these Sichuan troops, who did not look very good, to the nearby area to make corrections and wait for ammunition supplies.
During this process,
Captain Gui and the other senior leaders of the teaching corps did not even ask who their deputy commander was, but took them all away if they could not be saved.
The Sichuan Army troops sent by Commander Yang Sen did not pay attention to the expressions of the senior leaders of the Teaching Corps. Anyway, they were used to the expressions of the Central Army, so they were not surprised.
Just when these Sichuan troops were making corrections at the designated location,
In He Feiyang's mind, the system prompt sound suddenly sounded.
"Ding! It has been detected that the host has activated a branch combat mission. Please go to the Guangde area immediately to support the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army, which is about to face defeat. After the Songhu Battle, there is the only fully-organized Sichuan Army reserve south of Taihu Lake.
"
"And the Sichuan Army, which is poorly equipped and short of artillery, will be rewarded with 3 U-boats, 12 more FW-190D fighter jets! and 300 tons of aviation fuel!"
"There are also 5 Type 97 tanks, as well as 100 tons of tank fuel and 35 tons of ammunition as rewards!"
"Please host to carry out the combat mission immediately!"
