Chapter 216 New Mission of the Four Elements Battalion

"The adultery is hot!" Li Jiujin sighed to Niu Er.

"Believe it or not, the officer is so inflated that he can kill a brain axe."

Have a brain axe?The leg injury hadn't healed yet, 'Hammer' who habitually lay beside him raised his ears and scanned his surroundings vigilantly.

"Don't worry, Hammer, this tiger doesn't eat dogs, it only eats officers." Niu Er patted Hammer's head to comfort him.

Only eat people!The dog was relieved, and the dog's face, which had just tensed up with the hammer, was relieved.

"Oh! Your baby's description is so apt, I want to tell Tantai reporter so aptly." Li Jiujin couldn't help but laugh.

A group of soldiers from the Four Elements Battalion who had begun to gather over laughed and leaned forward.

They are all sensible people. Reporter Tantai looks beautiful and gentle, but the attributes of a tigress are ready to be revealed. Not to mention anything else, just the pen in his hand, black can be described as white, and white can be painted as gray. A certain officer If you dare to make mistakes somewhere in the future, I am afraid that the starting point is Chen Shimei.

After Tantai Mingyue finished broadcasting, the voice on the radio did not stop, and a melodious song came from inside.

However, this time, it was not Tantai Mingyue's soft voice, but the deep singing of several soldiers, without any accompaniment, just singing a cappella.

"It's a fine morning,

The dove whistle is accompanied by the reveille.

But the world is never at peace,
There are no peaceful years but turbulent turmoil.

Are you ready, soldier brothers?
When that day really comes.

Rest assured motherland, rest assured loved ones,
In order to win, I must go forward bravely!
Look at the direction in which the flag flies,
advancing chariots and fleets,
It also has our names flying on it,
Young soldiers are eager to build meritorious service.

Are you ready, soldier brothers?
When that day really comes.

. . . . . . "

This is Tantai Mingyue's request to Tang Dao, but originally she hoped that Tang Dao would teach her to sing 'The Great Wall Will Never Fall', but Tang Dao gave her a big surprise, and gave her a song. The first adaptation of "When That Day Comes" from the future.

In this era, military songs are a must for almost every army. After training or on the way to a long-distance march, loud military songs are the easiest and easiest way to boost morale.

Moreover, the melody of the military song is not complicated at all, it only needs to be impassioned, and a few guard battalion soldiers learned it two or three times with Tang Dao.

I don't know how many people on the battlefield chanted along with the deep voice on the radio. The exhaustion that once covered them seemed to disappear in the singing everywhere, and the speed of building fortifications accelerated again.

However, the soldiers of the Four Elements Battalion gathered together under the quiet gathering of the squad leaders, packed up their equipment, and when all the personnel arrived, Erya, the signal soldier, sent an order from the Tang Dao army, and the whole battalion walked to the open space three miles outside the west gate.

The ten trucks they seized from the Japanese were all driven over. There was no shortage of heavy equipment that belonged to them. In front of the trucks were six single-barreled cannons with wheels and neatly piled shell box.

The surprised officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Battalion quickly lined up. In front of the truck stood their battalion commander Tang Dao and two lieutenant generals.

The 97 people stood up straight with solemn faces.

Although they didn't know what they were going to do when they assembled at this moment, they knew that the task that was waiting for them was not easy.

The six machine guns are not the point, but the two commanders of the 67th Army and the 43rd Army came to give lectures together. This specification is really too high.

"The order of the Songjiang Frontline Headquarters states that the Fourth Line Battalion, the Guard Company directly under the 43rd Army Headquarters, and the First Guard Company directly under the 67th Army Headquarters, with Major Lei Xiong, the deputy battalion commander of the Sixth Line Battalion, as the first commander, stationed at the Baihegang Bridge, the entire army must not If there is a loss of the bridge, anyone who avoids the battle, fears the battle, or retreats, kill!" Tang Dao took the lead and read out the military order just issued by the headquarters.

"Yes!" Lei Xiong accepted the order first, and then turned his gaze to Tang Dao.

There was wonder in it.

The Sixing Battalion and two other guard companies stationed at the Baihegang Bridge dozens of kilometers away are actually no less dangerous than defending Songjiang City. Tang Dao had actually communicated with him before coming to Songjiang.

The Japanese army may not have too many infantry detours, but the biggest danger that the Baihegang Bridge will face is the Japanese fighter plane.

Once Songjiang and the Japanese army fell into a deadly battle, the angry Japanese army would inevitably think of cutting off the Songjiang army's retreat to retaliate. Bombing the Baihegang Bridge was almost an inevitable choice.

People are laying eggs in the sky, so what can they do no matter how brave they are on the ground?

But these so-called dangers are nothing, but Tang Dao is not the first commander?Obviously this time they will not leave with them, which makes Lei Xiong a little uncomfortable.

Yes, regardless of whether these elites who once belonged to the Imperial Forest Army admit it or not, Tang Dao has completely become their backbone and support after a week of continuous fighting. I'm a little bit confused.

If it weren't for the fact that there are two big bosses here, he probably would have asked the question directly.

"Because Battalion Commander Tang is also serving as the deputy director of the General Staff Department, he must stay in Songjiang to listen to orders." General Wu directly answered the questions of the officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Battalion.

"I know, some of you may think that I, Mr. Wu, and Commander Guo didn't use the good steel of your Four Elements Battalion to the blade. That's because you don't know that you are guarding the last lifeline of our Songjiang City army.

This time, the whole army in Songjiang is ordered to stop the Japanese invaders for three days and nights starting from the arrival of the Japanese invaders tomorrow, so as to buy time for the whole army in western Shanghai to withdraw to the defense line of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

If the bridge is lost, there will be no way for the more than [-] Chinese Haoerlang on the front line of Songjiang to retreat! "Wu Zhongjiang looked solemn, his eyes were slightly open, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

"So, I have to ask you to guard the bridge! The lives of more than [-] soldiers on the front line in Songjiang are all in your hands."

"On behalf of the entire Four Elements Battalion, I promise to complete the task! Unless the entire army is defeated, I will not disappoint the officers." Lei Xiong took a heavy step forward and raised his hand in salute. "Everyone, salute!"

"Okay!" The lieutenant general raised his hand in return.

Lieutenant General Guo and Tang Dao also raised their hands in return.

Everyone is waiting to file into the car.

The first guard company of the 67th Army had been stationed at the Baihegang Bridge for a long time, and the guard company of the 43rd Army was the two platoons that stayed behind at the 43rd Army's garrison.

This also means that there are about more than 300 troops in charge of defending the Baihegang Bridge, which is much more difficult than the more than 67 troops of the 30,000th Army defending Songjiang City against [-] Japanese troops.

But that should be the most troops the two lieutenant generals can bring out at the moment.

It's not because the troops are not enough, but that there is a way to retreat, but the morale of the army must not be shaken. No one needs to say this, and Tang Dao believes that Lei Xiong can also understand it.

The only thing that reassures Lei Xiong is that his equipment has been further strengthened. Although Songjiang is about to face a bitter and deadly battle, General Wu still "squeezed" out 6 Oerlikon single-barreled cannons and handed them over to him.

This single-barrel 20mm machine gun produced by the little-known Oerlikon company in Switzerland is not as good as the famous Suluotong dual-mounted machine gun. To put it bluntly, it is a large "machine gun", but this kind of gun The machine gun with a speed of up to 300 rounds per minute is actually better in upward-firing air defense.

It is actually perfect to have this kind of 'small cannon' for air defense.

Many people may be surprised why an army that has been suppressed by high-level officials still has so many "high-tech" equipment. It may be because they don't know enough about the Northeast Army.

Regardless of the quality and combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the Northeast Army may be second only to the existence of German weapons and finishing divisions built by a certain big man with the financial resources of the whole country in terms of its equipment.

Because Lao Zhang, who has ruled the Northeast for a long time, may be China's first "little farmer" during the period of warlord melee. Under his careful management, the Northeast not only has China's largest Fengtian Arsenal, but also has China's highest-quality iron ore at that time , coal mines and the most complete heavy industry, money, resources and technology, it is a strange thing that the Northeast Army is not well equipped.

In the September [-]th Incident, hundreds of thousands of Northeast troops withdrew to the pass without resistance, and nearly [-] planes were left in Fengtian City
With such equipment, but without the heart to resist, it is no wonder that the young commander and the entire Northeast Army were not scolded as dogs by the whole country.

So, Zhang Da, who was scolded by the people of the whole country for several years and almost depressed, as the Japanese became more and more aggressive, he simply gritted his teeth and tied the leader directly, to show the people of the whole country that I actually want to fight the war, you see I'm ready to kill my relatives righteously.

Handsome Zhang was really not just playing around at that time, as long as the leading brother dared to talk stubbornly, his life would be really hard to save.

The entire Chinese people were dumbfounded, but the army in the north clapped their hands and persuaded them, peace is the most important thing, and morality is the most important thing. As long as they fight the Japanese, it's easy to say.

The leadership is so aggrieved, who in the Northeast Army is not holding back the fire?The Japanese called again, and finally had a chance to rectify their name, so going to the front line would have to evacuate their entire family!

别说这种进口于30 years代初期的单管机关炮，67军麾下两个步兵师可都有山炮营和重迫击炮营，每个山炮营12门75毫米山炮，重迫击炮营则拥有150毫米重迫击炮12门，军部直属的还有一个同等编制的山炮营和一个拥有12门75毫米野炮的野炮营以及18门20毫米机关炮的防空营。

In terms of various types of artillery, the 48 mountain artillery, field artillery and 24 large-caliber mortars are by no means inferior to a standing division of the Japanese army.

Of course, having said that, the Japanese army that attacked was not one division but three or more. Especially the Japanese army also had a special heavy artillery brigade to support it, and its strength was naturally far superior to that of the 67th Army.

To say that the 67th Army has great equipment is just a comparison with other domestic armies, such as the 43rd Army. The poor "beggar army" has never seen any kind of mountain artillery.

Without the two infantry guns, three rapid-fire guns and ten 92-type heavy machine guns brought by Tang Dao as supplements, General Wu Zhong would not be willing to hand over one-third of the machine guns of the air defense battalion directly under his military headquarters to Lei Xiong Or the other two.

Although the way out is important, you must first have a chance to leave Songjiang alive, right?
