In the 5th division, Zhang Zhizhong's expression changed drastically. He had just received a telegram from Commander Cai, and this general of the Republic of China found it hard to believe. 2,000 lives had been sacrificed. Was it necessary to sacrifice the brothers of the 44th Independent Brigade in order to win this war?
At this moment, his raised eyebrows finally exploded. He was a soldier, a soldier who fought bravely on the battlefield. If the war in Songhu had to be carried out in such a way to achieve the final victory, then the blood that would be stained with this victory would make Zhang Zhizhong feel disgusted, embarrassed, and humiliated!!!
Bang!
Zhang Zizhong slammed his palm on the table. He was furious, angry, and depressed. This military order from the National Army Department was equivalent to announcing the death penalty for the 44th regiment. The final result might be the gathering of the 19th and 5th regiments of the national army, as well as the 44th regiment as a sacrifice!
Perhaps, in the end, the 9th division of the Japanese army would still be able to break out of the encirclement successfully. However, the chairman of the Army Department in Luoyang was giving up the 44th regiment in order to annihilate the 9th division of the Japanese army!
"Call the Army Department directly. If no one picks up, call the chairman directly!!!”
Zhang Zhizhong's voice was cold. He was patriotic, but he did not want the soldiers on the battlefield to die because of this!
If that was the case, the burning heroic soul would not be able to rest in peace even if it closed its eyes. Why, why, why?？？
The iron-blooded soldiers who were willing to give up their lives for the country would end up like this. The smoke of war filled the sky, and the shells whistled past. The thick flames made Zhang Zhizhong unable to wait quietly for the busy phone call!
The answer given by the Ministry of the Army was a direct order from the chairman. The Ministry of the Army had no right to overturn the chairman's order!
As for the chairman…
"Wen Bai, this matter cannot be changed. In military affairs, the necessary sacrifices are worth it. In this war, the Party country must defeat the Japanese island nation. The northeast has become a colony of Japan. The war in Songhu is a shortcut to restore the glory of the Party country. The 44th Independent Brigade is not a direct force, so sacrifices are sacrifices. Wen Bai, you have to remember that those who achieve great things do not care about trifles!”
Zhang Zhizhong, who was on the other side of the phone, felt cold all over. It was as if there was a ten-thousand-year-old ice that wrapped around him. It was also like a ten-thousand-ton boulder that suddenly fell from the sky. He could not believe it. However, he lowered his head and his gaze was slightly lonely. There were some things that he could not change. Wasn't the chairman just like that? He had never changed!
For example, during the September 18th incident, 30 million people in the northeast and millions of square kilometers of land were occupied by the Japanese. It was such a national humiliation that the young commander of the northeast gave up Fengtian and the life and death situation of China for the next ten years!!
Sigh…
With a heavy sigh, it seemed that Zhang Zhizhong had aged a lot. All he could do was to completely drive away the devils in Songhu!
The 5th Army was under the control of the 87th Division, the 88th Division, and the Central Army Military Academy's Teaching Corps. They worked together with the 9th Army to besiege the Japanese Army's 9th Division!
The 44th Brigade, relying on warehouse 1, finally began to counterattack. The German-made Krupp 105mm Howitzer spat out its own power that could swallow rivers and mountains, shaking the entire Zhabei region. On the Asian battlefield, 105mm Howitzers were definitely considered heavy artillery!
Meng Xiaosong suddenly pulled the howitzer's traction line of fire. With a great force in his right hand, the malevolent cannon barrel pointed straight at the sky. The huge cannonball that shot into the sunlight became a dazzling existence. The fiery red beam of light pulled a huge parabola in the sky. The sky dispersed and bounced down!!!
When it reached the highest point, the gravitational potential energy had already accumulated to the maximum. Next, it was time to convert the gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy!
Meng Xiaosong sensed a hint of a conspiracy. The reinforcements from the 5th and 19th armies had been coming, and the earlier round of artillery fire came from the south. The Japanese artillery was clearly in the northern region…
If it was the Japanese artillery, why did they wait until now instead of carrying out artillery suppression earlier? To be exact, if it was the artillery suppression on the way to Fuxing Street, it could have blocked all the roads leading to warehouse number one!
As the commander of the artillery battalion, Meng Xiaosong was very familiar with the artillery configuration of the national army. The sound of the cannon and the range of the explosion were all 75mm mountain cannons purchased from the Krupp Empire. Only the Generalissimo's direct troops could use them. Compared to the European battlefield, which had a caliber of more than 100mm, the Eastern battlefield was still a little inferior!
If…
" Don't think too much about it. Some things can't be changed. The chairman and the military want to win this war with a big victory. The 44th Brigade is the best bait…"
"Traveler!"
Meng Xiaosong's right shoulder was lightly patted by a palm, which could be considered as comforting. A soldier's death was a name, but did he have to exchange it for such an outcome?
"But…the remaining brothers of the 44th regiment are 2,000 men!!!”
Meng Xiaosong's voice gradually became low and then suddenly raised. His hoarse voice seemed to be pouring out the anger in his heart. His slightly moist and slightly red eyes made Gu Weiming's right hand, which was hanging down, involuntarily tighten!
" Brigade Commander, Battalion Commander, could it be that the artillery fire just now…"
Little Rock tilted his body. He was also a meticulous person. The traveler's previous actions, the telegram that no one could see, and the fact that the reinforcements had not arrived yet. As an artillery soldier, if he could not even distinguish his own artillery shells, he would really be ashamed of the word artillery!
The 75mm mountain cannon of the national army was an old model purchased from the country. There was no other way. For a turbulent country that had suffered so many disasters, warlords, divisions, invasions, and all kinds of disasters, it still had independent sovereignty. Many times, you had to say that this was a miracle!
Gu Weiming turned around, his eyes flashing with viciousness. He lowered his voice, raised his palm, and then slammed it down heavily as he said coldly!
"Even if the Japanese's most elite division has arrived, I will still lead the 44th Brigade to break through the defense line. Meng Xiaosong, from now on, all the cannons will be under your control.!”
The wind blew and the clouds moved. The weight of ten thousand jin pressed down on Gu Weiming and the soldiers of the 44th Brigade. They were the abandoned troops. This news spread like a plague!
