"Ahem! Look at how nervous I am about you, uncle. I came here to pick you up before I even had dinner. Don't tell your old man that I lost it for you when I go back next time." Lao Wang rubbed his belly, feeling miserable.
Face tried to explain.
“Ahem!” The Army Major General on the side almost choked his lungs with a puff of cigarette.
If you don’t know how to cover it up, don’t cover it up, okay? When did you guys receive the request for help telegram from the Chief of Staff of the 88th Division? Did you, Mr. Wang, wait until you had finished your dinner?
Lei Xiong’s dark face was suppressed to be red.
If it weren't for the fact that this uncle knew at a glance that he had a special relationship with Tang Dao, he would have burst into laughter long ago. Regardless of whether he was a regiment commander or a colonel, this lie was so funny.
Tang Dao was also dumbfounded. He stretched out his hand and called Erya who was waiting for orders: "Go, first go and get some cans of beef for Chief Liu and Chief Wang. Also, let Leng Feng discuss it with the brothers of the 26th Division.
Give them all the captured Japanese weapons and ammunition. In addition, each person will be given two cans of beef first, and the rest will be discussed after we leave here."
Comrade Lao Wang must be really hungry, so he ate three cans of Japanese beef that Erya brought by himself, and even stared at his boss who had just finished one can slowly...
This thing, you must have not eaten for several days! Lei Xiong couldn't laugh when he saw this scene.
With a dignified colonel and regimental commander like this, one can imagine the logistical support for an army of five to six million people still more than 20 kilometers away.
“Hey, I’m not afraid of you two laughing at me.” Seeing Tang Dao and Lei Xiong’s faces gradually becoming serious, Comrade Wang, who was half full, couldn’t help but sigh.
“Although the troops have not run out of food, there is not much food left in the whole division. If we call the war zone to ask for food, there are still 500,000 to 600,000 mouths in the west of Shanghai!
I can only save a little bit. I basically don’t eat dinner. I only eat it before the battle. It’s just that the army and the division were in a hurry to respond to your military orders, so there was no time to eat. Grandma’s. Fortunately, I received a big meal.
Rich man, if you don’t lose money, you will enjoy this meal!”
“Hey, Uncle Wang just wants some Japanese cans!” Tang Dao smiled softly. “Okay! That cart of cans has been given to the old army.”
“Sure enough, I’m not treating you well in vain.” Comrade Lao Wang beamed with joy and just agreed without hesitation, but he saw the corners of his chief of staff’s eyes twitching like cramps. He was so happy that he almost jumped up:
"No, no, you want to get rid of me with just a little can? Tang Tao, you are such a bad guy, I almost fell for your trick. Your 88th Division said it yourself, two mountain cannons and four heavy machine guns will be used as reward.
, I won’t be able to rely on you if there are just a few screws.”
"Haha, take me to see the military and division seats first! I'll give you the mountain cannons, each with 80 rounds of shells, and the heavy machine guns of our 26th Division will also be included." Seeing his uncle explode in an instant, Tang Dao couldn't help but
He laughed loudly and stopped teasing him.
“Really?” Not to mention Comrade Lao Wang, who was almost crazy with joy, even Major General Liu Gongdu, the Chief of Staff, was also shocked.
What is the most important thing in a war? Besides food, it is equipment and ammunition.
At least 400 Japanese-style rifles were seized in this battle. Tang Dao did not want all of them. It was because of favors from the old army. The two mountain cannons were promised in advance. After all the favors and transactions were used up, Tang Dao could still give away 80 rounds of shells for each cannon.
, this is a bit beyond the imagination of the Major General Chief of Staff.
That's because the Army Major General didn't know that a huge crisis had arisen sixty kilometers away.
Since seeing the 26th Division appear here, Tang Dao finally understood why a few hundred people from the 26th Division were transferred by the theater headquarters to Songjiang, which was about to be extremely dangerous. In fact, there were no troops left around Songjiang, and there were only about ten kilometers away from Songjiang City.
The 26th Division is the closest unit.
Looking at the sky, Tang Dao also believed that the 26th Division headquarters at this time should also have received a telegram from the theater headquarters, ordering them to rush to Songjiang's aid.
The main reason why Tang Dao took huge risks to bring a large amount of equipment transported by the Japanese baggage squad here is to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops going to Songjiang!
Not only his 26th Division, but also another unit that is about to rush to the Songjiang battlefield. Even if Tang Dao has no friendship with them, he will not hesitate to support them.
Comrade Lao Wang's joy was not limited to this. A Sichuan Army captain who was responsible for leading people to clean up the battlefield also came to report the capture and battle damage.
It was captured first, which was far beyond everyone’s expectation.
Previously, the Japanese army could fully display light infantry, but what is strange is that this group of Japanese troops clearly has three infantry cannons and nearly 50 rounds of artillery shells, as well as six Type 92 heavy machine guns and 12 light machine guns with sufficient bullets.
, this equipment is absolutely blinding.
Equivalent to an infantry battalion with the heavy equipment of an infantry regiment.
As everyone knows, the devil Toyoda Hide has made a pioneering move, combining infantry, artillery, and heavy equipment into a large synthesis.
Later, artillerymen generally used to bring their own cannons to stand guard, and most of them were at checkpoints at other intersections. This also led to the fact that when Toyoda Hide gathered troops at the station, some artillerymen were present, the cannons were not, and some simply left.
, the cannons are not here, and if we want to summon them over again, it will take more than half an hour.
Toyoda Hide brought three infantry cannons and six heavy machine guns and felt that he had already given the Chinese a lot of face. Otherwise, if he dared to bring all the remaining seven infantry cannons in the regiment, he would definitely be able to defeat a bunch of 'rubbers'
They were so happy that it turned out that the right way was to kill the Japanese and then rob them!
It's a pity that Tang Dao not only brought all the heavy weapons in the warehouse, but also captured a large amount of supplementary equipment sent to the front line by the 16th Division's baggage team, not to mention mountain artillery, infantry artillery, rapid-fire artillery, and light and heavy machine guns.
He was able to kill instantly.
Besides these, there are also ten grenade launchers, twenty Southern pistols, 398 intact Type 38 rifles, and some ammunition.
Hearing these figures, Liu Gongdu and Lao Wang's eyes widened. These seizures alone were worth a lot today, not to mention the two mountain cannons and heavy machine guns promised by Tang Dao.
Our 26th Division is finally going to become rich. This is the most intuitive feeling at the moment when two Sichuan Army generals are used to being poor.
Next, there are battle losses.
The expressions on their faces remained unchanged, but their eyes involuntarily darkened.
In war, who will be immortal?
Both of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. In the past, if hundreds of people were killed in battle, they would not even blink an eyelid, but now it is not possible. There are no more than 700 people in the entire division. If one of them dies, it will be heartbreaking. If hundreds of people die,
, Lao Wang would have to howl in pain several times if he couldn't protect Qi.
“Our army suffered 5 serious injuries, 18 minor injuries, and no one died in the battle!” the Sichuan Army captain reported to his two immediate superiors with a painful look on his face.
“You idiot, what are you talking about?” Lao Wang stepped forward and grabbed the captain’s shoulders, the muscles on his face trembling involuntarily.
“Seriously injured...” The captain was startled by his regimental commander who was obviously losing his mind, and he was speechless.
"The last sentence!"
“No one died in the battle!”
“Really? You must have finished counting. If you don’t count clearly, I will kill you.” Lao Wang’s eyes were as wide as copper bells.
“Really, each company has been counted twice.” The captain nodded firmly.
“Haha! Okay! Inform each company to go back for extra meals. For the lightly or seriously wounded, an extra can of canned meat will be given.” Lao Wang ordered with high spirits.
No wonder this man was so excited. After the Songhu battle, nearly 8,000 people from the 26th Division went to the battlefield. In the end, less than 700 were able to stand and walk out of the position. The battle damage reached more than 90%, and today's battle
, the total annihilation of the Japanese army does not count, and no one on our own side has died in the battle, it is definitely considered a super victory.
"How's it going? Zero casualties, Tao Wa'er, is our Sichuan Army no worse than the Central Army?" Lao Wang, who was in high spirits and a bit disappointed, shouted at Tang Dao and Lei Xiong.
This is actually a kind of psychological compensation.
In response to the government's call to fight against the Japanese invaders, the 43rd Army marched thousands of miles from the border between Guizhou and Sichuan provinces. It set off in August and arrived in October. At least one and a half months of it was spent purely walking on iron footboards, and the original equipment was not very good.
So, how can the military appearance be good? It is still good to say that they are a two-gun army, and some people even directly call them a "beggar army".
Even before they entered the Songhu battlefield, they were despised by all the armies, especially the Central Army, which was the best equipped, and rolled their eyes. This humiliation was actually due to the fact that the 26th Division of the 43rd Army risked their lives to fight the Japanese as soon as they entered the battlefield.
One of the reasons.
Others who want to prove themselves can just work hard, but for them, it takes their lives.
Although they succeeded in the end and successfully proved themselves, it cost the lives of nearly six thousand Sichuan Army children.
Even Captain Jie Gujijie, who wrote the poem "I wish to be a ghost on the battlefield after my death, and never become a native of my hometown during my lifetime," has no body left.
This tone has actually been stuck in Lao Wang’s heart.
So, I couldn’t help but want to show off to Lei Xiong, who was affiliated with the 88th Division.
“Battal Commander, three people in our battalion were slightly injured in this battle. Two of them accidentally sprained their ankles while running in the mountains.” Signal Corpsman Erya blinked and reported in a low voice.
Lao Wang......
Good heartache.
Of course, it was just a moment of trouble. Killing more than 400 Japanese troops in one battle, even if the other side had no intention of fighting, but no one on our side was sacrificed, is something worthy of celebration.
There was laughter and laughter here, and everyone packed up all the loot and headed for the 26th Division's station. However, they had already retreated to the Songhu Theater Headquarters, 60 kilometers away from the city of Songhu, and were already in a panic.
The Japanese army began to land on the Jinshanwei tidal flat position at about five o'clock in the morning.
