Rumble, rumble...
Old Hu looked at the newly trained artillery proudly. He controlled the 80mm Krupp cannon and accurately hit the target on the mountain five kilometers away, causing a cloud of smoke and dust to rise.
"Regiment commander, I have no doubt that the artillery I trained are all capable! Haha…"
Old Hu had also shaved his beard and was wearing a clean military uniform. However, this old soldier ruffian's appearance had not changed. He smiled and went to Lin Feng's side.
"Haha…"
Lin Feng squatted on the mound next to him and laughed meaningfully. He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Seeing this, Old Hu quickly took out a match and lit it for Lin Feng.
"Regiment Commander, didn't you say that if I can train an artillery battalion, you'll make me a battalion commander…"
Old Hu also squatted under the mound and said pitifully.
"Seeing that you've trained well, I've found you eight 150mm Krupp heavy howitzers. Set them up on Jinhua Mountain…If the Japanese dare to come, you'll blast them with all your might. There are also 16 45mm anti-air cannons. You should also arrange for them. If the Japanese planes dare to come, you should also beat them up!”
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Old Hu was so happy that he jumped up. Putting all these things together, let alone the artillery battalion, even the Guangdong Artillery Regiment didn't have such good things back then.
"When this mission is over, if you can train a brigade, I will give you the equipment of a brigade! However, if you dare to slack off, don't blame me for kicking your butt!”
Lin Feng stretched out his hand and pointed at Old Hu.
"Regiment commander, just wait and see. Even if I don't eat or sleep, I will train an artillery brigade for you!”
Old Hu was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a line. He patted his chest and promised.
……
In the middle of October 1938, the defense of Changsha finally broke out. The 13th Division, 68th Division, 116th Division, 40th Division, 34th Division, 58th Division, 27th Division, 37th Division, and the 7th, 14th, and 6th Divisions of the Japanese Army from Guangzhou, under the command of General Okamura Ningji, had a total of more than 300,000 Japanese troops attacking Changsha from three sides.
The sky was slightly white.
Thousands of soldiers were standing neatly on the field outside Yong 'an Town. They were all topless, revealing their suntanned skin and shiny skulls.
On the high platform in front of the field, Lin Feng was also standing with his upper body bare.
The 24th division that Xue Yue had re-established did not have any combat missions this time because of the short time. Lin Feng's 3rd regiment was left behind as a reserve force.
However, Lin Feng did not intend to stay idle. He found out that the main direction of the Japanese army was Yueyang, and the Japanese logistics base was located in Tongcheng County.
The 13th Division, which they had defeated last time, was in charge of defense. Lin Feng was certain that this Japanese army, which had participated in the Nanjing Massacre, would never let him go!
"This mission is very dangerous. We have to go deep into the enemy's rear and destroy the command center of the Japanese's 13th Division without any logistics supplies. Do you dare?”
Lin Feng asked loudly.
"How dare you…"
More than a thousand bald warriors said in unison.
His voice was loud and sonorous, soaring into the sky!
"Good!"
Lin Feng shouted and paced on the high platform. He looked at the thousands of soldiers below the stage and said,"Today, we must let the Japanese know that the backbone of the Chinese nation has not been broken. There are still hot-blooded youths in this country! The blood of our fallen compatriots cannot be shed in vain. The only way is to use the guns in our hands to make the Japanese pay ten times, a hundred times!”
"Blood for blood!"
"Blood for blood…"
"Kill, kill, kill, kill…"
At this moment, deafening shouts erupted on the field. It was like a huge wave crashing against a reef, surging endlessly.
……
The large area to the east of Yue Yang was filled with mountains, forests, and lakes, which was not conducive to large-scale marching. Lin Feng divided the 1,000-man army into three groups and used the method of hiding during the day and coming out at night to advance secretly in the mountains and forests.
He led more than 300 people from the front team as the vanguard, including 107 SEALs and two Black Hawks. The rest were all veterans that he had carefully selected. They were all well-trained.
"How is it?"
In the dense forest, Lin Feng had weeds on his head and branches on his body as he asked in a low voice.
In front of him was Gu Hai, who was dressed the same way. Gu Hai had already been promoted to battalion commander, but he insisted on being the vanguard with Lin Feng no matter what. Later on, Lin Feng had no choice but to let him be.
However, Gu Hai was an expert at reconnaissance. Although the SEALs were well-trained, they were not as detailed as Gu Hai in terms of reconnaissance and understanding of the terrain.
"There's still three more miles before we reach the Bai Family Ridge. I've looked around, there's probably a squadron of Japanese soldiers and a large group of puppet soldiers. There was a heavy machine gun firing point on the high ground. There were no trenches dug outside the town, only simple barbed wire. There are Japanese barracks in the north of the town, and puppet barracks in the south of the town…"
Gu Hai handed Lin Feng a simple map he had drawn, which indicated the deployment of the Japanese troops.
The Bai Family Ridge was the only way to Tongcheng County. Lin Feng and the others not only had to take down the Bai Family Ridge but also could not let the Japanese notice. Otherwise, once the Japanese noticed, their plan to attack Tongcheng would fail.
" Let's start to match our watches now. 12 o'clock in the afternoon. 30 teams will use infiltration mode and approach the Bai Family Ridge. I'll command the first team.”
Lin Feng looked at his watch and said.
After rigorous training, Lin Feng formed a six-man team according to the special forces 'mechanism. One of the team leaders was equipped with an M1 Garand rifle, one of the snipers was equipped with a Springfield sniper rifle, two of the assaulters were equipped with a Thompson submachine gun, which was commonly known as the " Chicago ", one of the dynamites was equipped with simple explosives, and one of the machine gunners was equipped with a light machine gun.
Apart from that, there was also a 12-man medical team and five signalmen.
"No, Guild Leader! It's too dangerous for you to be in the first squad. Let me do it. If I can't take down the Bai family ridge, you'll chop off my head!”
When Gu Hai heard that Lin Feng was going to be the vanguard of the Sharp Blade Team, he became anxious.
"Nonsense, you're all soldiers trained by me…You want to compete with me? You command from behind!" Lin Feng reprimanded in a low voice.
"Why don't you just kill me? I can't let you take the lead anyway!”
Gu Hai straightened his neck, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"Alright, you follow me as the Blade Squad and go first!”Lin Feng was very helpless. When Gu Hai was with him, it was as if he wanted to take a bullet for him. He could not be chased away.
