Chapter 449 Cannon Fodder

The 13th Division occupied Chudong County, and the soldiers pointed directly at the defense line of Fujin Mountain.

As the battle situation at the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains became more and more serious, the Wuhan High Command decided to strengthen the defense forces in the Fujin Mountain area.

For this reason, the 114th Division of the Northeast Army was ordered to arrive at Fujin Mountain for reinforcements, and in order to facilitate the unified command, Master Song was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.

Now Commander-in-Chief Song already has three divisions in his hands, namely the 114th Division, the 36th Division and the 87th Division.

Three infantry divisions defended around Fujin Mountain, of which the 36th Division was in the center, and the other two divisions were arranged on the left and right, forming a corner with the 36th Division.

According to the consistent central breakthrough tactics, the primary combat target of the 13th Division is naturally the 36th Division.

Commander Song also judged that the devil's main attack direction must be the position of the 36th Division.

So Commander Song personally visited the 36th Division's position and conducted pre-war supervision.

Liang Shanhao's independent regiment, as the direct unit of the commander-in-chief, also followed.

Glancing at the officers in the semi-underground command room, Commander Song shouted: "Everyone, according to my judgment, the devils are likely to launch a main attack on the 36th Division's position. My 36th Division is a unit that has seen blood in Shanghai." , The tough battles have been fought, the devils have been killed, and now the devils are fighting us again, I hope that all of you here can continue to maintain a good fighting style, and hit the little devils under the Fujin Mountain!"

Hearing this, all the officers responded in unison: "Kill all the little devils, and swear to live and die with the battlefield!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Commander Song shouted: "Okay, very good! Master Xue!"

Master Xue responded, "Yes!"

Commander Song shouted: "In order to ensure the victory of the battle, I decided to send you a reserve team!"

After a moment of hesitation, Master Xue called out: "Tuan Zuo! May I ask what kind of reserve team it is?"

Commander Song shouted: "Of course it's the independent regiment I'm directly under. What kind of reserve team do you want?"

Master Xue shouted: "Independent regiment, the independent regiment has been training in Chudong County for less than a month! Commander-in-Chief, this battle is not a joke, is it?"

With a raised brow, Commander Song shouted: "What the hell, old Xue, you still dislike it. Telling you that it's not very wrong to have military use now, and you're still picky!"

Master Xue shouted: "Although the commander-in-chief said so, this newly formed independent regiment is just a cannon fodder regiment, and it can't do anything!"

Hearing this sentence, Liang Shanhao, who was standing beside Commander Song, suddenly became unhappy.

Liang Shanhao shouted loudly: "Report!"

Commander Song shouted: "Speak!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Mr. Xue, I think Mr. Xue is biased against my independent regiment!"

With a slight smile, Master Xue shouted: "Leader Zuo, that's the truth. Your independent regiment is almost all recruits. I don't think the combat effectiveness is very good!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Master Xue, whether it's a donkey or a horse, you have to pull it out for a walk!"

Master Xue shouted: "Oh, you are quite confident! Okay, commander in chief, I think we can put the independent regiment on the front line for defense!"

Master Xue's intentions are vicious, and he puts the independent regiment who lacks combat experience on the front line. Isn't this clearly letting the independent regiment be used as cannon fodder?

Frowning, Commander Song yelled: "Old Xue, I know you are angry, but I handed over the independent regiment to you as a fire brigade for you. You are not doing this as cannon fodder!"

Commander Xue shouted: "Commander, I don't want the independent regiment to be cannon fodder, I... I just give the left regiment leader a chance to show off! The left regiment leader, right?"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Mr. Xue, I thank you! Don't worry, I will tell you whether the independent regiment under my command is a cannon fodder regiment or not! Commander-in-Chief, I am willing to accept this opportunity that Master Xue gave me!"

Commander Song shouted: "Okay! Very good! Commander Zuo, I just like your demeanor as a general, and you won't admit defeat! Old Xue, no matter what, you must fight this first battle well!"

Suddenly straightening his back, Master Xue shouted: "Yes! I will never let the commander-in-chief down!"

……

At the military meeting, although Liang Shanhao vowed that he was capable of leading the independent regiment to fight a defensive battle, Master Xue did not have any confidence in the independent regiment.

Letting the independent regiment carry the front line is just an act of anger. Master Xue has always used troops cautiously. If it is not a battle-tested army, Master Xue will not use it with confidence.
Therefore, Master Xue just let Liang Shanhao's independent regiment guard a section of not very important position. This position is only the junction of the other two infantry regiments of the 36th Division, and it is not the focus of defense.

Even so, due to his duty as a soldier and wanting to prove that his independent regiment is not cannon fodder, Liang Shanhao used all his energy to prepare for the defense.

The positions that the Independent Regiment was in charge of were not perfect. Before the battle started, Liang Shanhao commanded the brothers of the Independent Regiment to renovate and upgrade the original trenches.

In order to increase the speed of operation, even battalion and company-level officers waved their engineering shovels in their hands.

While patting the soil on the breast wall hard, Yang Shisan complained: "Tuan Zuo! Isn't this trench very good, why do you need to spend so much effort?"

Also joining in the physical work of transforming the trenches, Liang Shanhao exclaimed: "You want to know why?"

Shoveling the dirt under his feet vigorously, Yang Shisan nodded and shouted: "Of course! Anyone with a discerning eye knows that our position is not very important. It is impossible for the devils to attack from here! We are left alone by Mr. Xue! "

Vigorously throwing the dirt out of the trench, Liang Shanhao shouted: "The more Mr. Xue looks down on our independent regiment, the more we have to fight for it. We must not let Mr. Xue look down on us!"

Immediately understood, Yang Shisan shouted: "The Tuan Zuo is right, but if the devils don't attack our position here, isn't it all in vain?"

With a slight smile, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Who can guarantee the things on the battlefield, maybe maybe! It's getting dark, hurry up and work!"

After agreeing, Yang Shisan continued to dig trenches hard.

At this time, Chief of Staff Tong walked towards Liang Shanhao.

Liang Shanhao shouted: "What's the matter, Chief of Staff Tong? Are you done digging the trenches over there?"

After pondering for a while, Chief of Staff Tong shouted: "Tuan Zuo! Regarding the transformation of the trenches, I suddenly have a bold idea!"

After pouring a large jug of water down his throat, Liang Shanhao exclaimed, "Oh? Really, but it's okay!"

Chief of Staff Tong shouted: "I didn't say anything about your commanding ability, Commander, but the combat quality of the independent regiment is there after all. If you fight with the devils, I'm afraid it will be terrible, so you have to think of some crooked ways!"

With a smile on his face, Liang Shanhao called out, "What article do you want to write?"

Chief of Staff Tong shouted: "Our first trench should be dug two feet deeper!"

Eyes froze, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Dig two feet deep, and our soldiers won't even be able to stretch out their guns!"

Chief of Staff Tong shouted: "Is this easy to handle? Can we dig shooting positions on the side facing the enemy!"

Liang Shanhao exclaimed: "Then what's the point of us digging such a deep trench?"

Chief of Staff Tong shouted: "Tuan Zuo! Let me ask you, what would happen if the little devil rushed into the first trench?"

Suddenly enlightened, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Oh! I understand! We are digging a hole for the little devil. When the time comes, we just need to throw a grenade into the first trench, and the little devil will have a good time! ,Ok, deal!"

Thumbs up at Liang Shanhao, Chief of Staff Tong shouted: "Tuan Zuo is very smart, just a little bit!"

Immediately afterwards, Liang Shanhao yelled at the soldiers of the Independence Regiment: "Listen, everyone, dig the trench two meters deeper!"

Hearing this, the soldiers were arguing a lot, what's wrong with the group seat, why can't they get through the trenches!
But the military order fell like a mountain, and the soldiers could only bite the bullet and continue working.
