Zhu Hong Guang was a little nervous.
He had come to meet Chu Yunfei and ask for his help because he had asked Li Tiancheng about it.
It wasn't because he felt that he couldn't defeat Sakata United.
Just the 344th Regiment of the Jinsui Army alone was enough. 50 152mm howitzers were enough to make the Japanese suffer.
The main consideration was that helping the 8th Route Army to fight the Sakata United would incur the anger of the commander of the 2nd Battle Area.
Chu Yunfei was a talent highly valued by Officer Yan and the chairman. If they could invite him to fight the Japanese together, the punishment would definitely be lighter.
Although Li Tiancheng was not very optimistic about his suggestion, he did not stop him and let him try.
"Sir, our regiment commander has invited you." the guard said.
Zhu Hongguang took a deep breath and followed the guard into the 358th Regiment Command.
"Regiment Commander Chu, Chief of Staff Fang."
Zhu Hong Guang raised his hand and saluted.
Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong also raised their hands in return.
"Battalion Commander Zhu, what brings you to my division?”Chu Yunfei asked directly.
Zhu Hong Guang: " To be honest, our 344th Regiment is planning to attack the Sakata United Team in the Gray Cloud Ridge. I'm here on the orders of the Regiment Leader to ask for Regiment Leader Chu's help.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
"What?!" Fang Ligong immediately shouted. Battalion Commander Zhu, what did you say about the 344th Regiment attacking the Sakata Regiment? Don't you know that the Sakata United Army is fighting against the 8th Route Army?”
"I know…" Zhu Hongguang nodded.
Before Zhu Hongguang could say anything, Fang Ligong's tone was very strict as he scolded,""Since you knew, why did you attack the Sakata United Team?”
"The commanding officer of the Second Battle Area has repeatedly ordered that we need their written orders to cooperate with the 8th Route Army. Otherwise, we can't support each soldier and cannon!”
"I believe that your department should also know about this order, right?!”
"So if your regiment commander really helped the 8th Route Army attack the Sakata United, you have to think carefully. This will be court-martialed!”
Fang Ligong's aggressive tone made Zhu Hongguang very uncomfortable.
Moreover, from Fang Ligong's attitude, he could also tell that there was a high chance that he would not be able to ask for help from Regiment 358.
"That's right, we received the order from the commanding officer of the Second Battle Area." Zhu Hongguang frowned.”
"However, the general didn't listen to his orders. Our 344th Regiment was defeated by the Sakata United Army. We were defeated in two hours and suffered more than half of our casualties.”
"This is our shame!"
"Our 344th Regiment is not a coward. We will not be humiliated and pretend that nothing happened.”
"Since Regiment 358 is unwilling to help us, then forgive me for taking my leave.”
Zhu Hong Guang decided to leave.
"Wait a minute." Chu Yunfei stopped him from behind.
Zhu Hongguang turned around.
"Battalion Commander Zhu, I admire your courage and determination to wash away your humiliation!" Chu Yunfei said seriously.”
"It's just that your division is now a remnant, and your weapons and equipment are not comparable to the Sakata United. It's better to listen to my advice and not use an egg to hit a stone.”
Chu Yunfei paused and said,""Of course, if your division insists on attacking the Sakata United Army, my 358th Regiment will not sit idly by and do nothing.”
"Guild Leader! This can't be…"
Hearing this, Fang Ligong was shocked and wanted to stop him.
However, Chu Yunfei waved his hand and didn't let Fang Ligong continue. He looked at Zhu Hongguang with bright eyes.
Zhu Hongguang was pleasantly surprised and bowed to Chu Yunfei.
"With Regiment Commander Chu's help, that's great!”
"Regiment Commander Chu, please rest assured. Our division has a great killing weapon. We won't let the brothers of Regiment 358 lose a single soldier!”
Great killing weapon?
What great killing weapon?
Chu Yunfei was stunned.
But before he could recover, Zhu Hongguang said impatiently,"Team Leader Chu, then I'll take my leave. I'll go back and tell our team leader the good news.”
With that, Zhu Hongguang left the 358th Regiment command post.
After he left, Fang Ligong stomped his feet and said,"" Aiya, Regimental Commander, you've done something wrong. This is an act of disobeying orders. If you really attack the Sakata United Team, it'll be very difficult for the commanding officer to blame you…"
"Humph!"
Chu Yunfei put his hands behind his back and snorted,""Brother Li Gong, there's no need to say anymore!"
"Just like what Battalion Commander Zhu said earlier, if a general disobeys an order, Li Tiancheng's 344th Regiment is determined to attack the Sakata Japanese!”
"As the main reinforcement team, are we just going to stand here and watch the Japanese destroy our allies?”
"In the end, won't this just deplete our own national defense strength?!”
At this point, Chu Yunfei turned around and looked at the worried Fang Ligong,"
"And I'm not disobeying the orders of the commanding officer. The commanding officer said that he can't help the 8th Route Army, but he didn't say that he can't help our brothers, right?”
Fang Ligong was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Chu Yunfei meant and gave him a thumbs up."Regiment Commander, it's high, it's really high. No one can find fault with it!”
Chu Yunfei laughed," Haha, Brother Li Gong, you don't have to flatter me anymore. Go and order the outpost to pay close attention to the movements of the Sakata United. The artillery battalion is ready to provide artillery support at any time!"”
"Yes, Regiment Commander."”
……
On a hill ten kilometers away from the Gray Cloud Ridge.
Li Tiancheng was observing the battlefield at the Gray Cloud Ridge with his binoculars. Behind him were fifty 152mm howitzers, lined up neatly in two rows. The rear tires of each howitzer had been removed, and the mounts were separated, sticking deeply into the soil.
The noon sun shone on the dark green cannon body, reflecting a metallic glow. However, the long barrel of the cannon extended into the muzzle. It was incomparably deep, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper. It was extremely terrifying, waiting for the Japanese to be killed.
Each howitzer had three or more soldiers of Regiment 344 standing beside it.
They were in the final stages of preparation for the shooting, cleaning the barrel, checking the breechblock, and moving the shells…
At the same time, everyone's faces were filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Previously, when they accidentally obtained the 152mm howitzer, they had tested it once. The explosion was earth-shattering. Not only did they feel the vibrations from afar, but those who were close to it were also blown away.
And now, there was not just one howitzer in front of him, but a total of 50!
Not to mention, there were as many as 5,000 high-explosive rounds!
The members of the 344th Regiment believed that the Sakata Regiment would not be able to resist the explosion of these 50 howitzers!
Li Tiancheng put down his binoculars and turned his head. Seeing that everyone was almost ready, he shouted,
"Artillery, report number!"
As his voice reached the ears of the members of Regiment 344, they immediately stood at attention and replied loudly one after another,
" Cannon Position 1 is ready!"
" Cannon Position 2 is ready!"
……
" Cannon Position No. 49 is ready!"
" Cannon Position No. 50 is ready!"
Every cannoneer was full of energy, and their voices were filled with power!
After the last cannoneer finished shouting, the cannoneer ran to Li Tiancheng's side and shouted,""Captain, fifty 152mm howitzers are ready. Please give your orders!”
"Good!" Li Tiancheng replied loudly.
Looking at the 50 152mm howitzers shining under the sun, Li Tiancheng was extremely proud and in high spirits!
50 MT-20 152mm howitzers and 5,000 rounds of high explosive ammunition.
Let alone the Japanese!
Even if the Heavenly King came, he would still die here!
