At seven o'clock in the morning on the 18th, a midnight combat meeting was held. An Yi, who had only rested for three hours, accompanied by Shen Fengdao, practiced Tai Chi by the Yuanyang Lake. He was sweating profusely and felt his whole body
After feeling much better, he returned to the war room in the Plum Blossom Hall.
At this time, Lin Yaodong had already brought the steamed buns, porridge, and several plates of Sichuan pickles with his guards, and invited everyone to sit down at the Eight Immortals table and fill their stomachs first.
As the Anjia Army Headquarters dining group, which is well-known among the entire army, moved into Guyi Garden yesterday morning, it immediately became a place where generals and generals from all armies and divisions in Nanxiang Town flocked to. Now it is dawn.
Soon, Weiyin Pavilion, where the food group was located, was overcrowded.
If it weren't for Jiangnan Group's abundant material guarantee, An Yi would probably be complaining by now.
An Yi was eating kimchi and eating steamed buns. Liu Qing walked in from the door. When she saw the steamed buns in a big basin on the table, her eyes lit up. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth.
After devouring the food, he patted his belly, smacked his lips with great satisfaction, and sighed:
"The chefs in our army's cooking class are really good at their skills. This steamed bun has somersault dough and authentic fillings. It smells better than the ones outside, and it's even better when you eat it! It's so comfortable!"
"Of course!"
Fang Zhanpeng said matter-of-factly: "Our Huotou Army has all received professional training from Sichuan cuisine masters. They are much better than those who are assigned to the cooking class and are unwilling to figure out how to cook by themselves. Now we have various units in the Anjia Army
The chefs have all gone to the hotel for rotation training, so the taste of the meals they make will naturally be different."
An Yi had finished eating at this time, put down his chopsticks, raised his head and asked: "Liu Qing, looking at your unhurried look, is there any good news?"
"The commander still understands me!"
Liu Qing said with a smile: "Taicang Military Airport has been repaired overnight by the mechanized construction team of the First Engineer Division. Now it can take off and land large transport aircraft. At present, part of the runway has begun to pour concrete. In a few days, a high-standard
You can show up at the airport. The rocket launchers you requested during the meeting last night will be delivered via transport planes in the next two days. Professional rocket launchers who have been trained for almost half a year will also be delivered at the same time.
"In addition, the 150mm heavy cannon produced by our arsenal in Syria, which is enough to equip an artillery division, has been loaded in Syria and is expected to arrive in Shanghai within ten days. When the call comes, will we establish a professional artillery force under the group army?
force?"
"It has to be built!"
An Yi nodded affirmatively: "This latest type of cannon has actually been in production since the beginning of the year, but considering that the logistics requirements for equipping such a giant cannon are too great, let's talk about cannonballs, if not anything else.
One weighs fifty-one kilograms, and two thousand tons of cargo are transported in the Sichuan River Basin.
A ship can carry more than 5,000 artillery shells. If we fight in North China, the long supply line alone is enough to bring us down, so we have been reluctant to deploy troops. At the same time, I am also worried about causing the Chairman and the army to join forces.
The general coveted him, so the matter was dropped.
"I went on a field trip to the battlefield yesterday and discovered that the situation was far worse than I imagined. The Japanese army had built the entire concession area into a solid fortress, and every street was fought over and made of fresh lives. If
At this time, it is too unreasonable to be self-conscious. So I decided to
Establish a professional artillery force within the regimental army. In order to distinguish it from the artillery organized by the group army and military division-level units, and for the sake of confidentiality, this unit will be named the Second Artillery Unit, and will be newly organized into a division to be responsible for the Shanghai area.
For the purpose of defense, until the fortress cannons are in place, they can be temporarily used as fortress cannons."
"Second Artillery Corps?" Chief of Staff Yang Fei was a little surprised: "Why this name? Is there anything special about this 150mm heavy cannon?"
Liu Qing pursed his lips: "Old Yang, you have been working in the fourth hall for so long, why don't you even know your own family background? The heavy cannon we developed was named Dongfeng I type by military industry experts from the Xufu Arsenal.
The heavy cannon has an actual caliber of 151mm, a barrel length-to-diameter ratio of 52, a maximum range of 27.5 kilometers, and a projectile weight of 51 kilograms. According to our work with German engineering experts
Thousands of test firings have proven that, due to the use of the most advanced barrel casting technology from the United States and Germany, our strength is the strongest among the 6-inch caliber guns in the world today, even the French Schneider M1935 and the American M
The two long-range 155mm caliber cannons of the -59 'Long Leg Tom' are inferior to each other, and are slightly better than the Type 96 150mm heavy cannon.
"Early at the beginning of the project, because our 10,000-ton hydraulic press had not yet been successfully developed, the manufacture of large-caliber fortress cannons was always a thorny problem. Weapons experts considered that this heavy cannon might temporarily serve as a fortress cannon, so they
It adopts a unique design method that combines field deployment and coastal deployment. The gun is equipped with a surround-firing chassis, which can
After the Feng-I 150mm heavy cannon is placed on it, it will have the ability to fire 360 degrees in a circle. The total weight of the whole gun and the fire chassis is 25 tons. It is the heaviest among the 6-inch caliber ground cannons, but considering
It must take into account factors such as the function of coastal artillery, and it can be towed by a whole gun after removing the ring-firing chassis. It can be regarded as the most powerful weapon of our army so far.
"The key is that with this kind of giant cannon, the Japanese army in the Pudong area can be directly covered by our army's cannon shells, and they no longer have to worry about not having a weapon to deal with the Japanese steel fortress!"
Yang Fei was also elated after hearing this: "Okay, I originally thought this was another German imitation. It was similar to the short-barreled 150mm howitzer produced last year. I didn't take a closer look at it. It turns out that it is so powerful. Now this little devil
You will suffer a lot!"
"It's not that mysterious. The Japanese also have this thing. Now the Fifth Brigade of the Japanese Siege Heavy Artillery in Pudong is equipped with 150mm heavy cannons. In addition, the Japanese army has three divisions, each of which is equipped with
There is a heavy artillery brigade equipped with hundreds of 150mm howitzers.
Our Central Army's three *** artillery brigades are much more generous. Our *** artillery brigade has three heavy artillery regiments. Each regiment has German Bofus 75mm mountain guns and 24 field guns each, produced by the Syrian government.
guns, 24 submachine guns, and 64 pistols. The artillery brigade also has a heavy mortar regiment, with 28 37th War anti-aircraft guns, 10 120 mortars, 15 August 1st mortars, and 60
There are 12 machine guns and 32 pistols. In addition, there is an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion with 30 anti-aircraft machine guns, 15 submachine guns, and 15 pistols. In addition to the automobile regiment, reconnaissance battalion, brigade headquarters and other institutions, the entire brigade
The number is 4,100, which is much worse than the Japanese heavy artillery brigade."
Having said this, An Yi stood up, wiped his mouth, and continued: "Sophisticated weapons are only one aspect that determines the outcome of a war. The person who controls the weapons is the most important factor! Just like yesterday when I was in Japan
Just like the charging tanks seen in the concession, tanks are originally very good weapons for killing enemies. As long as they are properly protected,
The protection will definitely play an unexpected role, but under the wrong command, he became a living target of the Japanese army. The lesson is profound! Therefore, our commanders must keep a cool head at all times and listen more to the professionals.
Otherwise, no matter how good the thing is, it will only become a trophy for the opponent!"
In the war room, Fang Pengxiang, Xu Boqian, Li Yufu and other key personnel of the headquarters, as well as Shen Ziling, who was officially appointed as An Yi's confidential secretary, and Cheng Shiming, a confidential staff officer, all showed thoughtful expressions on their faces. An Yi
ex
Confidential Secretary Wei Changjie was transferred to the Special Forces Regiment of the Southern Yunnan Garrison Command and served as the squadron leader of the Special Operations Brigade. The previous secretary, Zhao Bohan, had rushed to Datong from Simao to serve as the Colonel's Operations Director of the reorganized 17th Army.
"Commander, Miss Ye was stopped by guards at the entrance of the town. She wants you to pick her up in person!" Li Tao, the guard team leader who was on duty in the telecommunications room, hurriedly reported.
"Sister Qing!? Is she feeling well?"
An Yi happened to come to the map and looked at the situation map of the enemy and the enemy in the Japanese Concession in Shanghai that the staff had re-marked. After hearing this, he turned his head in surprise and asked loudly.
Li Tao said quickly: "It's not Miss Ye, she said her name is Zi Zixin, and there are others around her..."
The smile on An Yi's face suddenly froze, but he quickly adjusted his mood and told everyone to perform their duties and do the job at hand well. No matter when he, the chief of staff of the war zone, would start to perform his duties, but in the face of the current situation in Shanghai
For war, targeted plans must be prepared in advance.
When he was leaving Guyi Garden, he happened to meet An Jin and his people delivering a combat sandbox to the headquarters. An Yi felt moved and called An Jin: "Xiao Jin, come with me to the entrance of the town."
"Okay!" An Jin responded happily, said a few words to the soldiers around him, and quickly came to An Yi's side.
At this time, Liang Ziyan, Chief of Staff of the Special Operations Command, happened to walk into the courtyard. When he saw An Yi, he excitedly stepped forward and saluted: "Good morning, Commander!"
Seeing Liang Ziyan's tanned muscles bulging out with infinite strength, and thinking of the days when they worked together, An Yi said happily:
"Ziyan, I have been paying attention to your performance over the years. It is very good. You are worthy of being the person I brought up with my own hands. You have never embarrassed me and you can shine wherever you go! Especially this time you and Xiao Jin created this one.
The battle plan is both unexpected and reasonable. I think Xiao ***’s navy is seriously injured this time.”
Liang Ziyan's excitement was palpable: "Commander, I always remind myself that I am the person next to you and I must never lose your face..."
"chief of staff!?"
Several special forces who came in from behind greeted Liang Ziyan, and he responded. He turned around and saw that the soldiers carrying the sand table had all stopped and were waiting for him. The gate of Guyi Garden had been blocked tightly. He shook his head,
He said with some embarrassment: "Commander, I'm going to go first. When we have time later, we can talk slowly."
An Yi waved his hand: "Go ahead. Anyway, we have to stay in Shanghai for a long time, so we have plenty of time."
After Liang Ziyan led the people away, An Jin asked curiously: "Brother, do you have anything to do at the entrance of the town?"
An Yi patted him on the head: "Why don't we go for a walk together if we have nothing to do? We brothers haven't been together for a long time to catch up on old times. Let's go, let's talk while walking!"
Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong fell behind, watching with smiles and not disturbing the brothers' conversation.
After leaving Guyi Garden, there were police officers and soldiers coming and going on both sides of the street. Due to the implementation of military control, except for the aborigines in the town, the rest of the people were strictly controlled in and out, so it seemed that there was a strong battlefield atmosphere.
Walking along the road leading to the town entrance, An Yi turned around and asked: "Xiao Jin, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. You are almost twenty-seven years old now. Do you have someone you like?"
An Jin smiled shyly: "Brother, why are you asking about this?"
"Brother cares about you!"
An Yi put his hand on An Jin's shoulder: "Grandpa has passed away for almost three years. Now in this world, you only have me as a relative. If I don't help you, who will help you? I'm worried that you, a dull gourd, will fall in love with you." But people don’t know how to take the initiative to pursue it, and they only regret it when they lose it!”
An Jin's face turned pale and his head lowered involuntarily. An Yi saw a clue: "Why, do you really have someone you like?"
An Jin scratched his head, turned around and saw An Yi's encouraging look, and suddenly became defensive: "Brother, I like a girl, but I don't know if she likes me. Before coming to Shanghai, I was still thinking about how to express my love to a girl. She confessed..."
An Yi said cheerfully: "Good boy, I finally figured it out. As a man, you should take the initiative and say, who is she? I will make the decision for you!"
"She is from the art troupe!"
An Jin's face was as red as dyed red cloth, and his face was full of shyness. If anyone who knew An Jin's fame saw it at this moment, they would definitely be shocked. This is the number one sharpshooter in the army who makes the enemy fearful. ?
An Yi was startled for a moment, thinking that this kid wouldn't fall in love with Han Yu, would he? If so, things would be tricky. Fortunately, An Jin solved the mystery in time.
"Her name is Leng Yue. She is a dancer in the art troupe. During the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War in 1933, she accompanied the troops to North China to perform condolences. During this period, she also followed the doctors and nurses from the field hospital to the front line to carry the wounded. At that time, there happened to be a soldier from our special brigade who was seriously injured. After being seriously injured, Leng Yue was very strong. She kept singing little songs to comfort her while carrying her, which left a deep impression on me at the time. Later, the 24th Army withdrew, and the carriage of our special brigade was next to the art troupe. The more time we met, the more slowly I fell in love with her."
"Leng Yue? It's interesting. She has the same name as my goddaughter! But Xiaoyue is only seventeen this year, so she is definitely not the same person..."
An Yi pondered for a moment: "Does she have a partner?"
"No!"
An Jin shook his head, but then said anxiously: "I think she should know that I am interested in her. Over the years, we have not broken the window paper. Our marriage law in southern Sichuan stipulates that girls can get married when they are eighteen years old. , she will be turning 20 this year, I am worried that her family will put pressure on her..."
An Yi was happy and patted An Jin on the shoulder: "Brother, I will make the decision for you in this matter. Later I will ask Uncle Dao to go to the woman's house to propose marriage. If her parents are not willing, I will take it personally. You are not afraid of being robbed by others, even if you are criticized by thousands of people. You are my dearest brother!"
An Jin's face was full of joy: "No, for us in southern Sichuan, you are the Buddha of thousands of families. What do you mean, who dares to disobey? With your words, brother, I will...
..”
An Yi interrupted him: "Xiao Jin, don't keep things like this in your heart in the future. Tell me whatever is on your mind. You see, if I hadn't taken the initiative to ask this time, I would have delayed a good marriage!
If anything happens in the future, you should tell me as soon as possible, okay?"
"Um!"
An Jin nodded and leaned his head on An Yi's shoulder. At this moment, he seemed to have turned back into the young hunter he was before, and his heart was filled with deep affection for An Yi.
