Chapter 0871 Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they tend to go to the mountains!
The Dragon Boat Festival gave part of the heavy artillery captured from the Little Japanese to the 51st Army, and the other part to the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. The Dragon Boat Festival only kept the mortars for its own use. The Little Japanese's 81 mm caliber mortar was very easy to use.
.
Although its firepower is incomparable to that of a German mortar of the same caliber, it is light in weight and easy to carry. Three people can easily defeat it.
The grenade Tuanwu is also the most commonly used, but the range of the grenade is too short. If there is no firepower to suppress the enemy, it is generally impossible to advance its effective range.
But the grenade is easier to carry than the mortar, and can even be taken away by a single soldier, and it can carry seven or eight rounds of artillery shells.
Therefore, the grenade tube Dragon Boat Festival is very convenient to use, because it can quickly cover the enemy with firepower when ambushing the Japanese.
There's just one thing missing in the Dragon Boat Festival, and that's ammunition.
Of course, it was definitely not an ordinary bullet but a nine-millimeter Luger bullet, because most of his troops were using submachine guns.
The same goes for Zhou Weiguo's 522nd Regiment. They were in Datoushan, and Duanwu replenished them with more than 250 submachine guns.
Originally, Duanwu wanted to get some from the 51st Army, but when he entered the 51st Army's station, he discovered that the Northeastern Army was so poor that it was noisy.
Not to mention the Eighth Route Army. There was only one division in total. The troops were scattered, and they couldn't even carry a gun. If he opened his mouth, it would be like asking a monk to beg for help.
There is no hope for the Gui Army, which is not much stronger than the Northeast Army. What's more, he still has a grudge against Li Zhongren, and even if he had, Li Zhongren would not give it to him.
So thinking about the issue of ammunition, Dragon Boat Festival is really a headache.
But he still has a way, at least isn't that Staff Officer Wang connected to Chongqing?
During the banquet, Duanwu had a conversation with Counselor Wang, and Counselor Wang immediately patted his chest and promised that the matter would be taken care of by him.
Looking at Counselor Wang who was boasting a lot, Duan Wu had some intentions of not believing it, but now he can only treat a dead horse as a living horse.
Because if there is no ammunition, then why fight?
After dinner, everyone was sent away, and the brothers were allowed to rest in the garden during the Dragon Boat Festival.
There were also big families in Fengyang Town. When they saw the war, they ran away, leaving behind a big house covering an area of seven or eight acres.
There are many rooms inside and the view is pretty good.
Of course, Dragon Boat Festival was not in the mood to see the scenery, so Lao Baopan boiled water and poured it into the tub for him to take a bath.
Others were much simpler. There was a pond behind the garden. These boys were not afraid of the cold. They jumped into the water and took a cold bath, and then they all ran back to sleep.
After days of fighting, it would be a lie to say they were not tired. They had long been tired. If they had not finally had a chance to wash themselves and sleep comfortably, I am afraid they would have been just like beggars on the roadside with their clothes on.
Lying down.
So after taking a bath and putting on clean clothes, the soldiers felt as if they had rolled from hell into heaven.
The soldiers were lying comfortably on the soft beds, and their happiness at this time was so simple.
The soldiers quickly fell asleep, but the Dragon Boat Festival was not there yet. Because just when the Dragon Boat Festival was about to rest, Zhou Weiguo came with a telegram.
Also coming with him was Lao Abacus and Sun Shiyu.
When Dragon Boat Festival saw the faces of several people, he knew something must be going on. He sat up from the bed and said, "What's wrong? Is something going on?"
Zhou Weiguo handed the telegram to Duan Wu and said, "Come and see, the Japanese sent it in clear code."
Duanwu picked up the telegram and saw that it said:
Your Excellency Dragon Boat Festival personally declares that I, the master of swordsmanship in the Empire of Japan, Mr. Chiba Sakuraichi, admire your swordsmanship very much, and now I have set up a ring in Shanghai to challenge you with your swordsmanship.
···········
During the competition, we will ensure your personal safety. Please rest assured that we, the Imperial Japanese Army, keep our word.
And we will stop all military operations during the competition...
···········
Of course, since it is a competition, there will be good luck. Now Major Zhu Shengzhong of your army is receiving treatment from our Imperial Japanese Army in Shanghai. If Your Excellency Duanwu wins this competition, Major Zhu Shengzhong, we will safely send him out of Shanghai together with Your Excellency Duanwu.
.....
············
The final signature was Iwane Matsui.
After Zhou Weiguo read the message during the Dragon Boat Festival, he said: "Zhu Shengzhong has died. Many brothers have seen it with their own eyes. Although I also hope that he can survive, this is indeed the case."
Sun Shiyu also said: "Tuanzu, Lao Zhu really died. We were also there when we broke out."
Duan Wu was lost in thought for a long time before he said: "Call back the little devil and tell me that I will go to Shanghai."
"You can't go, this is obviously a trap?"
Zhou Weiguo quickly stopped him, but Sun Shiyu and Lao Baanpan also agreed: "Yes, we can't go."
Duanwu said: "No, we must go. Lao Zhu is our brother. Although there is a 50% chance that what the Japs say is false, there is also a 50% chance that it is true. If Lao Zhu is rescued by the Japs, this is also possible.
, so I can’t gamble with my brother’s life.
What's more, the Japanese have invited some swordsman masters to compete this time, and their purpose is impure. If I don't go, it will weaken the prestige of us Chinese people, so I will go to this battle even if it is a risk."
At this time, everyone frowned at the same time, because although they all felt that this was a trap, Duan Wu was right. Sometimes, you just go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountain!
"Then I'll go with you. I know Japanese. I should be able to help."
Zhou Weiguo suddenly made a decision.
"Let's go too!"
At this moment, it was Lao Abacus and Sun Shiyu who also begged.
Duanwu laughed dryly: "Why are there so many people there? I'm not going to fight. I'm going to compete with the little devils. You can't help me."
"How about I go with you?"
At this moment, someone else came in, but it was Qiu Ming and Chen Yi. It turned out that the Eighth Route Army had also received the message, and they also thought it was a trap.
They originally planned to come to remind them of the Dragon Boat Festival, but they were already preparing to leave before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Qiu Ming and Chen Yi knew that Duan Wu was not an impulsive person, and there must be a reason why he decided to do this.
So they stopped trying to persuade her and might as well help the Dragon Boat Festival.
Of course, they have this strength, because the underground party is the best at providing intelligence. For example, for the Japs troops that were just chasing after them, Commander Yu sent people to investigate but there was no result, but Qiu Ming has already obtained accurate information.
intelligence.
Two infantry regiments of the Japanese army came in pursuit. One was the 39th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Tenth Division, and the other was the 155th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese 114th Division. Together, the two regiments totaled more than
Ten thousand people.
Fortunately, Duanwu ordered a retreat at that time, otherwise the two brigades of the 51st Army would have been in trouble if they were bitten by these two Japanese regiments! ...
