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 the Japanese, the Songhu War, was mainly to divert the negative effects of the September 18th Incident so that the empire's powers would no longer focus on the northeast!
The Japanese did not hesitate to mobilize two aircraft carriers and more than 60 aircraft carriers to suppress the Songhu region. This was especially true for the few strategic locations of the national army in Tianhai. Bridges, factories, roads, and other urgently constructed positions became areas that the Japanese were desperately bombarding.
"Meng Xiaosong, prepare to fire!!”
"This Japanese artillery unit is preparing to bombard the outer perimeter 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!
Hearing Li Yao's order, Meng Xiaosong fiercely nodded his head. The 44th Brigade had always followed the orders of the 19th Division's military headquarters. However, because the communication radio had been unable to contact the military headquarters, all military orders would be given by Li Yao himself!
" 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. The strange suppression caused the surrounding temperature to drop significantly. Li Yao's guards did not show any strange expressions!
However, some of the other brothers of the 44th Brigade did not have much of a relationship with Li Yao, and some of them had only met Li Yao once or twice. Li Yao's words clearly indicated that the 44th Brigade was going to be independent and not listen to any orders from its 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 Li Yao in shock, somewhat in disbelief. 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 did not make Li Yao think too much. For no reason, if he was not pushed to the end, someone else would entrust their fate to Li Yao together with him!
Li Yao did not say anything else. The reinforcements of the 19th and 5th armies had not shown up until now. They had not even contacted the communication station.!!
His 44th Brigade would probably become the sacrificial lamb on the battlefield of the war in Shanghai. In terms of numbers, the remaining soldiers of the 44th Brigade would definitely not make the Japanese Artillery Force 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 chilled Li Yao the most was the communication station of the 19th and 5th armies. The communication station of the 44th Brigade had already contacted the two military headquarters for help using the special telepathic codes of the national army, but it was like a rock sinking 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!
"We will use the 44th Brigade as the bait for the 9th division. We will move the 19th and 5th divisions to the periphery of the enemy and wipe them out. In order to ensure that the 9th division gathers, the 44th Brigade must be sacrificed.!”
Li Yao bit his lips, which were purple and bone-chilling. He felt as if he had fallen into a cold cellar. The remaining two thousand soldiers of the 44th Brigade were perhaps nothing more than ants that could be wiped out at any time by the chairman's political skills in Luoyang…
Politicians, politicians, politicians…
Li Yao might never be a qualified politician. Human lives were at stake, not to mention the lives of two thousand soldiers of the national army!!!
" Let's keep it a secret first. We can't waver the morale of the army…"
New book, tickets! Writing was not easy. The author would like to thank all the bosses, brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, and parents!!!
It would be a waste not to give away something that was free. It was fine if she gave him a tip, but that thing cost money. Thank you again!!!!)
