Twenty Krupp Cannons were placed on the high ground of warehouse 1, overlooking the entire Zhabei area. The ferocious barrels were pointed to the north, and the thick smell of gunpowder filled the air!
Meng Xiaosong was the former commander of the artillery battalion of the 44th Brigade. In his opinion, this heavy howitzer produced in the country of Dé possessed immense destructive power, and Meng Xiaosong had once coveted it. It had a long range, great power, high accuracy, and good durability!
Meng Xiaosong had a Hademen cigarette in his mouth. The thick and mellow smell of the cigarette made him intoxicated. F * ck, if he wasn't the commander of the artillery battalion, he wouldn't be able to smoke Hademen!
"Battalion Commander, give me a puff!”2
Meng Xiaosong lowered his eyes and looked at the remaining half of the cigarette. Then, he saw Little Rock's extremely expectant eyes!
"I can only smoke once!"
Little Rock tugged at his military cap and nodded. He immediately took the cigarette and took a deep puff. Meng Xiaosong's eyes could only see the rapidly shrinking cigarette and the fiery red stars!
"Ah…Battalion Commander, you really don't have to say that this Hardgate feels different when you smoke it. It's just a little more expensive, and it's specially supplied!”
"Alright, alright, alright. You're almost done with this mouthful!”
Meng Xiaosong snatched it over and fiercely took a whiff. He was as happy as an immortal, and his entire person seemed to be floating like an immortal!
"Battalion Commander, look, the Japanese's mountain cannon!!”
Little Rock's eyes were sharp. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a few black shadows moving quickly in the three o'clock direction. It seemed that they were the Japanese's Type 92 Infantry Cannon!
Meng Xiaosong quickly crouched down and hid behind a bunker. He stuck his head out. The Japanese's Type 92 Infantry Cannon could be said to have brought out the advantage of being short and dangerous to the extreme. No matter how complicated the terrain was, it could adapt to it!
"Where do these devils want to move to? Inform the brigade that the artillery battalion has a battle plan!!”
Not far away, the Japanese's artillery unit had a cold expression on their faces. The resistance of the Chinese army in Zhabei was beyond their imagination!
Just now, the division headquarters of the 9th division had sent an order to gather the artillery and open up a gap in the area where Fuxing Road was. The Chinese army had already begun to surround the 9th division from the north and south, with nearly 60,000 soldiers!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Tong!
This war of aggression provoked by Japan, the Songhu War of Resistance, was mainly to divert the negative effects of the September 18th Incident, so that the British, French, and American powers would no longer have their eyes on the northeast of China!
Japan did not hesitate to mobilize two aircraft carriers and more than 60 aircraft carriers to suppress the Songhu area in the air, especially the few strategic places of the Chinese army in Shanghai. Bridges, factories, roads, or urgently constructed positions became the areas that the Japanese army desperately bombed.
"Meng Xiaosong, prepare to fire!!”
"This Japanese artillery unit is preparing to bombard the outer circle of the 19th army. We must destroy them before the Japanese artillery fire!!”
The remaining troops of the 44th Brigade had just finished setting up their attack position when the heavy machine gun squad began to fire. The large caliber machine gun bullets seemed to have created an unstoppable flood of metal. Even in the daytime, the fiery red beams were extremely dazzling!
When Meng Xiaosong heard Gu Weiming's order, he nodded his head fiercely. The 44th Brigade had always listened to the orders of the 19th Division's military headquarters, but now, because they could not contact the military headquarters through the radio, all military orders had to be given by Gu Weiming personally!
" Traveler, the military's radio station hasn't been deciphered. The usual passwords are all "
"From now on, the 44th Brigade will officially be under my direct command. Even if it is an order from the military or the national government, it will not work within my 44th Brigade!!!”
The air suddenly quieted down, and the strange pressure caused the surrounding temperature to drop significantly. However, Gu Weiming's guards did not reveal any strange expressions!
However, some of the other brothers in the 44th Brigade didn't have much of a relationship with Gu Weiming, and some of them had only met him once or twice. Gu Weiming's words clearly indicated that the 44th Brigade was moving towards independence and didn't listen to any orders from their superiors!
After the war, if the higher-ups were to investigate, then all the brothers in the 44th regiment would probably be punished by the military!
Meng Xiaosong and Little Stone stared at Gu Weiming in shock, somewhat incredulous. Was the traveler going to rebel? Disobeying the orders of the military headquarters, disobeying the orders of the national government, this…
" Traveler, you disobeyed the military and the national government's orders. If you investigate this matter in the future, I'm afraid…
The voice behind him didn't make Gu Weiming think too much. For no reason, if he didn't force himself to the end, someone would follow him and entrust their fate to him!
Gu Weiming didn't say anything else. The reinforcements from the 19th and 5th armies had yet to appear, and they didn't even take the initiative to contact the radio station.!!
His 44th Brigade would probably become the sacrificial lamb on the battlefield of Songhu. In terms of numbers, the remaining forces of the 44th Brigade would definitely not make the Japanese artillery so concerned. The most likely possibility was that the Japanese had already spied on the deployment of the national army and wanted to use enough artillery power to break through the national defense line!
What made Gu Weiming feel the most disappointed was the communication station of the 19th Division and the 5th Division. The 44th Brigade's communication station had already used the national army's exclusive message code to contact the two military headquarters for help, but it was like a stone falling into the ocean!
The exclusive message code was the last method of communication in the national army's communication system, but now…
I don't believe it!
"In the Songhu area, regimental level and above all have their own independent radio stations. It's impossible that they didn't receive the distress telegram from the 44th Brigade!!”
"Traveler, I've deciphered the two codes that frequently appeared in the 19th and 5th armies in the past two hours!!!”
Li Jinhua's face was pale. When he re-translated the two codes, he found it hard to believe that this was an order from the highest commander of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War area, Cai Tingkai, who also represented the National Army Department!
" The 44th Brigade will be used as the bait for the Japanese 9th Division. The superior forces of the 19th and 5th Divisions will be transferred to the periphery of the Japanese army to be annihilated. In order to ensure that the Japanese 9th Division gathers, the 44th Brigade must be sacrificed. All codes from the 44th Brigade must be blocked!!”
Gu Weiming bit his lips, turning purple. The bone-chilling coldness made him feel as if he had fallen into a cold cellar. The remaining 2,000 soldiers of the 44th Brigade might be like ants in the eyes of the Generalissimo, who was far away in Luoyang, that he could wipe out at any time with his political skills…
Politicians, politicians, politicians…
He, Gu Weiming, might never become a qualified politician. Human lives were at stake, not to mention the lives of 2,000 soldiers!!!
" Let's keep it a secret first. We can't waver the morale of the army…"
