Having said this, Wang Deyao pointed to the direction where the heavy artillery was deployed behind him, and said with a wry smile: "In the previous battle, the artillerymen behind were unable to intervene, and they were so anxious that they cursed on the intercom, but here we didn't even have a valid coordinate. There is no way to provide it, they can only stare there, there is no other way."
"Before, we were all in a mess, and we went there to provide them with targets. We were among you, and you were among us. When a large-caliber shell came down, who knew whether more of us would be injured or more of the Japanese would be killed. "More, I am so anxious that my mouth is bubbling, but I can only watch you die."
"Now that I have obtained this hour of time, although it took a little effort and a lot of effort, I finally determined the approximate location of those bastards, although there are still a few companies that have not been contacted. I don’t know what their situation is, but most of the troops have been confirmed.”
"At least I have figured out the fighting situation around you. Now that my artillery is no longer available, I can only watch the fun. I can't help but just stare and have nothing to do. This is an embarrassing thing. There is nothing to say. It's time. Use it however you want. Our infantry is fighting fiercely, and their artillery cannot idle there. I must not only use it, but also use it to the extreme."
"As for you, with a few 155-heavy howitzers and a field artillery battery firing volleys, I can kill these bastards in one fell swoop without using rocket launchers. You kid is calm-minded and ruthless enough. , but sometimes my brain is not flexible enough.”
"Have you read too much and your brain is broken? The rocket launcher has a large coverage and its accuracy is also a bit poor. In this case, it is indeed easy to accidentally injure one's own people. If you use it now, you will be destroyed. But the shooting accuracy of the barrel artillery, It can still be guaranteed, it’s not like we don’t have any other artillery except rocket launchers.”
"Since you know how to mark artillery coordinates, you should also know the training level of our artillery. As long as the coordinates you provide are accurate, from a distance of ten meters in front of you to about five hundred meters, the accuracy of the fire coverage will be It can still be controlled and guaranteed.”
"Furthermore, it is impossible to provide fire coverage, but there is still no problem with the fire support of a single artillery. Why, it will not be used when the time comes. Even if the surrounding war is unclear and I dare not call for cluster fire support, the support of a small artillery group , there is absolutely no problem, he is also a little devil with a long body, no matter how tough he is, he can still be tougher than a cannonball."
"It's clear that a few rounds of 155 howitzers can completely disrupt the Japanese offensive. You have to stand firm. If I didn't know that you knew how to guide artillery, I couldn't say anything. You know this, so why won't you use it when the time comes? Okay, I've been able to do this until now, but I'm going to die together."
"I have seen your previous battles. You fought well. You were able to hold on for an hour without collapsing when the strength of the troops was so different and the recruits accounted for a large part. Based on this alone, you will do it. You're pretty good. After all, you are a well-known excellent instructor in the entire army. My whole company of troops is standing behind you, but you haven't wavered at all."
"There is also the accuracy of the artillery coordinates reported. Even the artillery observers find it incredible. You are not an artillery major, but you are doing better than them. It's amazing. Why didn't I see it before? You The boy is a man with both military and political skills. I didn’t realize that I had such an outstanding person under my command until today.”
"It's a pity that you, the boy, continue to work in political affairs. In addition to being flexible in mind, courageous and careful, he is also ruthless in his hands. The two deserters will be killed as soon as they are told. I wouldn't be able to do it if it were the other way around. It is against discipline to shoot deserters without permission in our Anti-Japanese League."
"But the situation at that time was excusable. If you hadn't dealt with it decisively, I'm afraid your position would have been lost long ago. Veterans and key personnel, cadres have suffered so many casualties, and you have relied on new recruits for such a long time. You can be considered a capable person. , this time I execute the deserter without asking for permission, even if I approve it, I will help you if you need anything."
"When this battle is over, if you and I are still alive, we can become military commanders instead. As for your battalion, let's not send a new battalion commander for now. You can take over the military and political affairs for the time being, and I will send a report to the military region. , after this battle is over, I will send you to study for three months, and it will be enough for you to come back to the Second Division as a battalion commander or deputy commander."
In the face of Wang Deyao's criticism and praise, Li Mingqing did not reply. Li Mingqing dared to say that this was the first time that he would meet in private with his fellow countrymen from the military training team where he served as a staff officer in the military artillery at the Fujin Comprehensive Base. During the training, the artillery guidance knowledge learned was applied.
If it hadn't been for the last moment, or even the point of death, I wouldn't have dared to take out my half of the water and shake it around. If a coordinate was reported wrong on the battlefield, even if it was only a few dozen meters away, it would be so close. The distance is so unlucky that I don't know who it is.
A few rounds of 155 grenades can indeed easily disintegrate a Japanese offensive, but they are enough to send the remaining brothers on their own positions to the west. If they are farther away and deflected to the surrounding battlefields, a few rounds of 155 grenades can easily disintegrate a Japanese offensive. Five artillery shells are enough to destroy a company.
By then, you, including Commander Wang in front of you, will probably be ready to cry. Commander Wang will not talk to you in a pleasant manner here, and you will be ready to shoot yourself. Besides, you learned these things in the first place. , I only thought about my art and not stressing over my body, and I never thought that one day, as a political cadre, I would be able to put my knowledge to use.
When I first learned these things at the Fujin Comprehensive Base, because I was too hasty, the fellow teacher taught me so-so, and I also learned so-so. The calculation rules of coordinates were memorized by rote, and because of the long time No need, I'm a bit unfamiliar now.
I never thought that I, who could not even be called half a bottle of water, would be so accurate in the coordinates reported when I finally used it. I am afraid this can only be explained by my character. Otherwise, how could I, who was unfamiliar with myself, be so accurate at the end? The data reported at the critical moment will make even the artillery observers who do this in the first place admire.
Until the last moment, how could I have dared to take such a heart-beating action of killing a thousand enemies and possibly damaging myself even more? But now is not the time to explain these words. If the causes and consequences are explained clearly, the next wave of the Japanese army will Not to mention that the offensive has already reached us, the commander is probably not in the mood to listen to his own ink at the moment.
Wang Deyao sighed that Li Mingqing was a rare talent, but did not think about Li Mingqing's thoughts at the moment. He handed back to him the list of combatants that Li Mingqing had sent to him: "This list should be handed over to the politicians after the battle is over." Go and report the two people you killed."
"People are dead, so don't make any excuses. You are right. Anyway, we have relaxed some standards here, and the families can still get some care. When people die, it has passed. We always You have to think about the living people, don't let your family members suffer, and don't receive any kind of treatment without being looked down upon."
"No matter why these two people died, when our parents have worked so hard to cultivate them and sent them to the army to be executed by ourselves, we can help cover it up and the families will feel better, but don't count them as martyrs. It’s not fair to other soldiers who died.”
"It is more appropriate to report missing people on the battlefield. In this way, although the family members will not receive the treatment of martyrs, the local government can still provide 600 kilograms of corn every year, three kilograms of meat and one kilogram of sugar every month to take care of the family members. There won’t be any discrimination at the local level.”
"Although the subsidy given by the local government is not much, it can solve the urgent needs of the family. If you are a deserter and are executed by your own people, and you still report it as a martyr, how will you let other soldiers see you as an instructor? We as leaders, how can we ask your subordinates to learn from the martyrs in the future?"
"What happened today is a special case. Although the two of them deserted, the fundamental responsibility still lies with us cadres. It was my decision that was a little too hasty. If I had been more cautious, I wouldn't have let you be like this. A little force to carry out the important task."
"You and I have also come through the ranks of recruits little by little. Who can say that we are not timid at all when facing this kind of situation? When we really face this kind of scene, although we are not deserters, we are so scared that we wet our pants. There are quite a few people who want to tell the living brothers, especially the two of them's fellow villagers, not to tell anyone about this matter, and just leave it to you and me."
Looking at the fortification made of Japanese corpses thirty meters away in front of him, Wang Deyao did not continue the previous topic, but said lightly: "That's all that needs to be said. As for your current task, you are to call for artillery fire immediately. Continue your work." Things that haven’t been done before.”
"The reason why the Japs haven't moved yet is because they are adjusting their forces for the final blow. This is the perfect time to cover the fire. If we wait a little longer and the Japs attack again, the artillery behind them will be in trouble again, or You will really die together with the Japanese army."
"Either I change the original plan and send the reserve team into the battle in advance to take over your current defense. In that case, the hour you paid for it will be wasted, and the blood of your men will be wasted. That means it’s all wasted.”
"And there are Japanese machine gun bunkers at such a close distance. Think about how much unnecessary price we would have to pay if we changed defenses at this time. Go ahead and complete what you should complete, and use the same ferocity you had before. Send these Japanese soldiers in front of me back to their hometowns in Japan."
Wang Deyao did not hand over the task of reporting new coordinates to the artillery observers who followed him. Instead, he handed it over to Li Mingqing, which surprised him somewhat. In Li Mingqing's view, since Wang Deyao had brought the artillery observers, then this task should be handed over to Li Mingqing. Leave this matter to them, after all, they are the ones with real academic background.
After saying these words, Wang Deyao shut his mouth and did not say another word. Li Mingqing, who had always made a clear judgment on the battle situation, did not understand why Wang Deyao left the ready-made artillery observers unused and allowed himself to command the rear. The true thoughts of artillerymen participating in the war.
But he also knew that what Wang Deyao said was right. The Japanese army was currently adjusting its forces. Li Mingqing, who was about to launch the most decisive blow for himself, did not ask any more questions because he knew that this was his last chance, and the fighter planes would not allow him to do so. Bargain, if you miss it, you will pay more blood.
If you don't take advantage of the fact that you have little machine gun firepower now, and adjust your troops in a big way 150 meters away, the reorganized Japanese troops are still regrouping. During the adjustment, this is a rare opportunity to fire, once the Japanese troops come up, , either it really has become a dead end, or the artillery has become the decoration it used to be.
