"Captain." Zhang Dabiao said, "The direction of Yujialing is the weak point of the Japanese encirclement. You lead the main force to break out from there. I will lead the commando to pick off Sakata's head and then join the main force."
"No!" Li Yunlong said immediately, "There is an entire Japanese army on the opposite side, and the number of people in your commando team is not enough to fill the gap between the Japanese and Japanese!"
Li Yunlong turned to the Signal Corps and said: "Signal Corps, report to the brigade headquarters that the New 1st Regiment is already engaged with the enemy in front and unable to withdraw from the battle. In order to protect the brothers' troops from breaking out of the encirclement smoothly, the commander of the New 1st Regiment
Li Yunlong is determined to lead the entire regiment to attack the enemy, defeat the Bantian regiment, and break through from the front!"
"Captain, what you said makes sense, but Commander." Zhang Dabiao whispered, "You are disobeying orders, and your superiors will blame you..."
Zhang Dabiao knew that now that Xinyi Tuan had taken over the business and collected the deposit, he had to get it done no matter what.
It is not only a credit issue, but also related to the future development of Xinyi Tuan.
What is the concept of 20 tons of sophisticated foreign-made weapons and ammunition?
With these 20 tons of weapons and ammunition, the new regiment can suddenly become the main regiment with the most fierce firepower in the entire Eighth Route Army!
However, the order from the brigade headquarters was also issued, asking the new regiment to retreat and break out from the direction of Yujialing. If they break out from the front, it would be blatant disobedience to the order.
Disobeying orders is not a trivial matter. Removal from one's post is a minor matter, and you may even be shot.
As Li Yunlong's number one general, Zhang Dabiao naturally understood what consequences the new group would bring to Li Yunlong if it broke through from the front.
That's why Zhang Dabiao took the initiative to ask for orders to cut off Sakata Nobutetsu's head on Li Yunlong's behalf.
"Zhang Dabiao!" Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted loudly, "Stand at attention!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao straightened his body after hearing this.
Li Yunlong: "Let me ask you a question, who is the leader of the new regiment?"
Zhang Dabiao: "Li Yunlong!"
Li Yunlong: "Louder!"
"Report!" Zhang Dabiao roared, "The leader of the new regiment is Li Yunlong. Zhang Dabiao, commander of the first battalion, has finished answering!"
"That's right!" Li Yunlong's expression suddenly became solemn, "When the gunfire sounds, the whole regiment must listen to me and execute the order!"
Zhang Dabiao: "Yes!"
…
At the same time, Sakata Regiment Headquarters.
Ura Tomorrow, Zhongzuo, walked up from behind, clicked his feet together, and paused: "Report to the commander, the 3rd Battalion has entered the attack position, please give the command to the commander!"
"One brigade is not enough." Sakata Nobutsu narrowed his eyes, "This person is a powerful enemy and should not be underestimated. Order the 5th Infantry Battalion to coordinate with the 3rd Battalion to attack!"
Ura Yuzhong Zuo paused: "Hi!"
Nobuyuki Sakata asked: "Has the artillery squadron moved forward?"
"The artillery squadron has moved forward." Uratomo said, "The artillery position has been stepped up on the reverse slope!"
"Hey!" Sakata Nobutsu said, "After the artillery positions are constructed, immediately cover the enemy's minefields with firepower. The 3rd and 5th Battalions immediately launch an attack on the enemy, wiping out all eight opposing forces in one fell swoop, without letting anyone slip through the net.
Seize the main peak position of Cangyun Ridge!"
"Hi!" Ura Yuzhong suddenly nodded his head and walked back.
…
In the new regiment's position, the soldiers of the new regiment are also stepping up their preparations for battle.
Each of the new group of soldiers holds a ghost-headed machete.
In hand-to-hand combat, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for a broadsword to gain an advantage against the Japanese's 38 bayonets, except for those who know how to use a broadsword.
Due to poor equipment and scarce ammunition, the new group had to focus on using machetes for hand-to-hand combat.
Among the training subjects, sword technique training accounts for a large proportion. Even the regiment leader Li Yunlong often learns "Eight Breaking Swords" from Zhang Dabiao.
As the swordsmanship instructor of the New Regiment, Zhang Dabiao's swordsmanship is outstanding, and he is extremely proficient in the edge-breaking swordsmanship.
During the Battle of Xifengkou, Zhang Dabiao, a sergeant squad leader, chopped off the heads of four Japanese soldiers with a machete and was promoted to platoon leader.
During the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the 29th Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army fought hand-to-hand over the large iron bridge over the Yongding River. Zhang Dabiao hacked nine Japanese to death with a machete.
Later, when the 29th Army withdrew southward, Zhang Dabiao asked for leave and went back to his hometown to settle down with his old mother. Unexpectedly, all the villages in his hometown were burned down by the Japanese.
It happened that Li Yunlong, the leader of the new regiment, was recruiting troops, so he joined the Eighth Route Army in a flash.
From then on, whenever he saw the Japanese, he became jealous.
But at this moment, Zhang Dabiao and his commando team of more than 100 people carried their machetes behind their backs.
All MP40 submachine guns were hung on their chests, and the soldiers' mouths almost burst into laughter.
Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers have basically seen submachine guns.
Rare items like submachine guns were seized during the Red Army period, and Yan Laoxi's arsenal also produced Jin-made Thompson submachine guns.
The Eighth Route Army generally calls submachine guns "huaji", and only the most elite veterans are qualified to use them.
Zhang Dabiao hung the strap of the gun on his shoulders, so that the weight of the entire submachine gun was borne by his shoulders, making it easier to aim.
Carefully open the folded butt of the gun, place it against your right shoulder, and observe the aiming baseline.
Then open the safety, pull the bolt, and pull the trigger.
Plop - the operation is smooth and silky, without any discomfort.
As soon as he touched it, Zhang Dabiao fell in love with this submachine gun with its gun body lines full of violent aesthetics.
"Hurry up and get familiar with the firearms!" Zhang Dabiao immediately looked sharply, and the soldiers of the conflict attack company shouted loudly, "The leader said, we will play some new tricks for the Japanese later!"
A soldier asked: "Batalion Commander, what is this gun called? Why do I care so little about it?"
"It seems like it's called Fart 40 or something." Zhang Dabiao said, "Never mind, let's just call it Hua Guan!"
Afterwards, Zhang Dabiao picked up his telescope and looked at the hilltop opposite. It seemed that there were crowds of people, and then said: "The Japanese are about to attack. Fill them with bullets!"
The soldiers immediately stepped forward, pulled out their bayonets, pried open the ammunition box, grabbed a handful of yellow-orange bullets and stuffed them into the magazine.
"There are so many bullets!"
“Not only are there more, but the quality is also good!”
"This time we can openly fight against the Japanese!"
The hard and cold bullets stimulated the nerves in the hands, and the soldiers said happily.
The entire new batch contains only more than 30,000 bullets, which is less than half of the ammunition in front of me.
Each submachine gun is equipped with a main magazine and 3 spare magazines. Each magazine can hold 32 rounds of 9mm bullets. In addition, there are also spare parts for the submachine gun.
There are a total of 100,000 rounds of 9mm submachine gun bullets, 100 submachine guns, and each submachine gun receives an average of 1,000 rounds of bullets, which is enough to fight two major battles.
As soon as the soldiers got familiar with their new guns and loaded them with bullets, the whistling sound of Japanese artillery shells began.
There was a rumble of artillery shells ahead.
The Japanese artillery did not hit the new regiment's forward position, but the minefield behind the slope in front of the position.
