"Hmm? You know how to fire!"
Knowing that Feng Jinsong knew how to fire a cannon, Lin Feng was overjoyed. It was not easy to find someone who knew how to fire a cannon these days.
Artillery was a technical job. It was not like learning how to shoot with a rifle. It was a three-point line that could be learned after a few days of practice!
"When Yuan Shikai formed the new Beiyang Army, he found a German instructor to train a group of artillery. I was lucky enough to be selected as one of them.”
Feng Jinsong said with a hint of shame.
Big Head Yuan?
Lin Feng couldn't help but look at Feng Jinsong a few more times. He didn't expect him to be from the Northern Warfare. He probably joined the Guangdong Army after Yuan Datou's downfall. According to his age and experience, he was only a battalion commander now. It was indeed a waste of talent.
However, this kind of officer with a strong Beiyang faction would be ostracized and suppressed no matter where he went.
Although Big Head Yuan was not a good person, he was clear-headed and had a far-sighted vision in the past.
He firmly believed that the army was the pillar of a country. From the beginning of the training at the small station, he insisted on hiring German instructors. Therefore, the group of officers trained by the Beiyang system had extremely high military accomplishments.
The Germans were also stupid and honest. Those who came to China were all genuine military officers, unlike after Sun Dapao came to power, those who sprayed pesticide from Italy could become flight instructors, and those who drove tractors from Russia could become military instructors.
"Do you have the confidence to build a real artillery battalion?”
Lin Feng's eyes flashed as he looked at Feng Jinsong.
"Artillery Battalion!"
Feng Jinsong could not believe his ears. He knew the importance of artillery to the army, but whether it was the Central Army or the Guangdong Army, the officials felt that artillery was too expensive. It was better to build a few more infantry divisions than to have that money.
However, Feng Jinsong saw a hint of determination in Lin Feng's sharp gaze. This man's words were definitely not a joke!
The dream of building an artillery battalion that had long been extinguished in Feng Jinsong's heart was once again ignited, making him unable to control himself.
He clenched his fists and looked straight into Lin Feng's eyes. He nodded firmly.”
"Good!"
Lin Feng took a step forward and slapped Feng Jinsong's shoulder." I'll give you all these Type 92 cannons. If you can lead an artillery battalion, I'll make you a battalion commander. If you can lead an artillery regiment, I'll make you a regiment commander!"”
"What is it? Guild Leader!"
Feng Jinsong's face twitched unconsciously. He thought to himself that Lin Feng was really good at bragging. There were only 200 people in total. Not to mention the artillery battalion, it was not even enough to form an artillery company!
However, Feng Jinsong was old and experienced. He had seen too many factional conflicts. If the remaining 200 soldiers of the 140th regiment returned, there would only be one outcome. They would be disbanded!
Now that he had a cannon to use, Feng Jinsong was content.
Instead of being dismissed, he might as well lead his brothers and follow Wan Pingfei's Chief of Staff and Lin Feng to form an artillery team to fight the Japanese.
" However, it's too difficult to build an artillery battalion. Why don't we build an artillery unit first…"
Feng Jinsong was experienced and smiled apologetically.
Lin Feng knew that Feng Jinsong did not believe him. He chuckled and looked at the sky that was gradually turning white. The sun was about to rise." What's the artillery regiment? As long as you follow me, you will see the artillery division, or even thousands of large-caliber mortars, covering the sky when they fire in unison!”
"Haha…"
Feng Jinsong smacked his lips. He had followed many officers, but when it came to bragging, Lin Feng was the only one who could do it!
Artillery division? Thousands of mortars?
You shouldn't be so unreliable when lying to a three-year-old!
However, Feng Jinsong would not expose him. He just smiled and touched the Type 92 cannon barrel, no longer paying attention to Lin Feng. However, Wan Pingfei's eyes flashed with a strange light because Lin Feng's words just now made him respect Lin Feng again.
The bloody truth told him that an army without artillery, no matter how many there were, was just a target.
Artillery was the future of the army!
"He is good at fighting alone, brave and fearless, and has a long-term understanding of the development of the army. Such a person is really a rare military talent.”
Wan Pingfei made up his mind again.
[Ding-dong. Wan Pingfei's loyalty to you has increased by 10%, reaching 90%.]”
Lin Feng turned around and looked at Wan Pingfei, who had a burning gaze. He smiled and thought to himself that his act just now was indeed effective.
At this moment, Song Yuanluo, who was in charge of security, suddenly walked over quickly." Chief of Staff, Chief Lin, we just discovered a Japanese army coming from Suzhou towards Liujiaxing Town!”
"The Japanese's reinforcements, their reactions are really fast!”
Lin Feng's expression did not change. The corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile." Let's go and take a look."”
Immediately, Lin Feng, Wan Pingfei, Heizi Gu, Feng Jinsong, and a few other officers followed Song Yuanluo straight to the western lookout post of the Japanese's command center.
Once they reached the watchtower, they could see a convoy of cars speeding toward them without using binoculars.
"Not good, it's the Japanese's tank squadron!”
Wan Pingfei picked up his binoculars and saw that there were more than a dozen Type 94 tanks and a few Type 95 light tanks among the Japanese reinforcements. He couldn't help but gasp.
The Japanese's Type 94 heavy tank was actually the so-called " bean tank " later. The front steel plate was only 6mm thick. If it was placed in the European battlefield, this thing could only be treated as a tin can.
However, this Type 94 bean tank was extremely difficult to deal with in the current Songhu battlefield, in front of the national army that lacked heavy weapons!
"Didn't the Japanese troops move to Changzhou? Why are they coming from Nanxiang Station?”
Wan Pingfei frowned slightly. This squadron of chariots was no match for their current troop. If they were to clash head-on, they would only be crushed into minced meat.
Even in the main battlefield of the Battle of Songhu, it was impossible to deal with such a Japanese tank squadron without filling in one or two regiments!
Many soldiers died under the 7.7mm machine gun at the front of the tank.
"When we were attacking the Japanese's headquarters, I heard from the Japanese's chief of staff that the new commander of the South Dispatching Army, General Terauchi Shouichi, is coming to inspect the troops. This tank squadron should be sent to protect him!”
Lin Feng looked at the Japanese squadron in the distance with a serious look in his eyes.
"Brother Lin, we've already taken down the Japanese's command center and rescued the 140th Brigade. Our strategic goal has been achieved.”
Wan Pingfei suggested.
"Transfer?"
"There are still a lot of weapons and equipment left. If we transfer them, won't we return them to the Japanese?"”
"All of them exploded."
Wan Pingfei said without hesitation," We can't leave anything for the Japanese."”
"Exploded?" Gu Heizi shouted," Such good equipment. Wouldn't it be a pity if it exploded?”
