Chapter 27 The Fifteenth Army
There is a saying that a team that is equipped with knowledge is terrible. Our 15th Regiment is such a team.
It is unquestionable that a unit like the 15th Regiment, which is mostly composed of students, has strong learning ability. Just as they quickly learned to shoot guns and adapt to the battlefield, they learned to use grenade launchers in just two days.
Of course, the reason why they can learn grenades in such a short time is also related to the knowledge of parabola I mentioned before, but I cannot deny that everyone has different qualities and specialties, just like some people are born with a sense of direction and have super memory. So no matter what they do, there are always a few people in a team that stand out because of their talents.
Our 15th Regiment is no exception. I have a soldier named Wu Fusan under my command... When I heard this name, I couldn't help but feel funny. The name of Wu is really not easy to choose. What is Wu Fusan? Is it still Wu Fusan? Later I realized that this name really means this.
The five blessings that people often say are longevity, wealth, health, good virtue, good ending. When Wu Fusan was born, the fortune teller told him a fortune telling, saying that this son has no longevity, no wealth, no health, but good virtue can have good endings, so he named him Wu Fusan...
When I heard that there was still this incident, I couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart that this fortune teller was really accurate. Wu Fusan is now in the army and fights, so he will naturally have no longevity, no wealth, and no love. Giving life to the country is naturally a good virtue. Even if he dies in battle, he can still be considered a good ending... It seems that this fortune teller knew that Wu Fusan was the fate of being a soldier in the morning!
If anyone is a genius, Wu Fusan can be considered one, because his grenade can be pointed and hit, and the front, back, left and right deviation is no more than two meters... You should know that the killing radius of the Japanese Type 97 grenade is seven to ten meters, which means that as long as this guy holds a grenade cannon in his hand, he will not be able to survive if he wants to die.
"Wu Fusan!" Seeing the targets blown up by Wu Fusan's grenade launcher, I asked a little strangely: "Are you particularly good at math?"
I thought he could use the fastest speed to calculate the distance that can be achieved by shells fired at various angles.
"Where can it be!" Wu Fusan moaned his head: "I always fail in mathematics, and I graduated from junior high school without any strength...
"Can you judge the distance at a glance?" I asked again. After all, it takes two conditions to accurately hit the target. One is to judge the distance of the target. The other is to quickly calculate the angle of the grenade launcher based on the distance.
"No," Wu Fusan shook his head as if he was pulling out a drum: "When I shoot, I always can't see wherever I go!"
I believe that bad mathematics means insensitive to numbers, and it is difficult to judge the distance accurately.
"Then why can you hit one by one?" Chen Dali, who was angry, asked in anger, puzzled and even embarrassed.
There is a reason why Chen Dali was so angry that he was embarrassed, because Wu Fusan was his soldier. Wu Fusan could hit him wherever he could hit him, but he could only hit him wherever he could.
"Squad leader!" Wu Fusan replied innocently: "I don't know either. I just think this thing is fun, just like the bamboo gun I shot when I was a child. When I was a child, I also shot one by one. Have you ever played the squad leader? It's fun."
"Go and go and return the bamboo gun!" Wu Fusan's words completely left Chen Dali speechless. His angry look only made the soldiers around him laugh.
"Let's do it!" After thinking about it, I said to Wu Fusan: "You will select more than a dozen grenade launchers in our company and form a grenade launcher team that you will be the team leader. How about it?"
Wu Fusan couldn't help but be stunned, then hesitated to look at Chen Dali beside him. "What are you looking at?" Chen Dali raised his head and said, "The company commander asked you to do it. I will only be happy if you stand up. I'm angry with my stupid hands!"
With a coaxing sound, the soldiers were amused by Chen Dali's appearance again.
I think the grenade launcher team is still very necessary. During the days when I practice grenade launchers with the soldiers, I discovered another advantage of grenade launchers, which is the fast reaction speed. Isn't it? If it is a mortar, a few people will be lifted at any time. This person will carry the chassis and the person will carry the ammunition quickly when it is to be used... Not only is this mortar team slow, it is also easy to be suppressed by the enemy's firepower.
However, the grenade launcher is different. It doesn’t require a few people to carry it separately. One person can carry the grenade launcher and shell. When it is to fire, you only need to squat down the ground or even grab it on your shoulders to fire. What you need to do in a war is to be fast, right? I believe that this grenade launcher team can provide me with strong firepower assistance in the shortest time.
But I also know that if I want this grenade launcher team to play the most energy on the battlefield... then they still need to take the test of actual combat. It is not that training in the rear for a few years is not as good as being on the battlefield for a few days, right? I think this makes sense, so I also plan to let them go to the battlefield to provide some firepower assistance to other troops to improve their practical capabilities when they have the opportunity. But I soon discovered that we didn't have that aircraft at all.
…
"Company Commander Fang!" Battalion Commander Li coldly dropped two words as he passed by me: "Have a meeting!"
"Yes!" I responded and followed.
Although Battalion Commander Li is my immediate boss, I am not very familiar with him. He usually doesn’t have much contact with him except for meetings and talking during meetings. I don’t know why, Battalion Commander Li always looks bad when facing me. Later, thinking about what Company Commander Xu told me before... I seemed to understand something.
In fact, it is easy to figure it out. If a soldier under my commander crossed me and reported his relationship or matter to the Education Chief or even the Commander of the Army, I would be unhappy.
This does not mean being petty or bureaucratic. This at least shows that: subordinates are better than you, and you should abdicate and give in to the wise.
So I can understand Battalion Commander Li's depression very well, because anyone in his position will feel uncomfortable, whether in terms of face or work. But I have to do this because every information I give can be said to be saving people, and this information and information can be said to be urgent.
I really wanted to say something to the battalion commander, but I didn't know what to say, so I had to follow him and walked into the command center of the Education Chief.
As soon as I walked into the command center, I found something strange. The command center became busy because it was a few days ago. The Education Chief and several officers also lay in front of the map and drew strokes. So I knew that there was a new situation on the battlefield and we were likely to go to the battlefield again.
Sure enough, after a while, the Education Chief raised his head and said, "Are everyone here?"
We started a meeting when we arrived! The situation was like this. At 5 o'clock this morning, the 9th Division, the second batch of reinforcements of the Japanese army, the 6th Division, had arrived. At this time, the 6th Division and the 3rd Division landed in Wusongkou, Shizilin, and 11th Shakou area, attempting to attack our army from the northeast flank. The 9th Division landed at many docks such as Huangpu River in Wusongkou, in an attempt to join forces with the 3rd Division, the 6th Division and the 11th Division trapped in Shanghai by our army. The strategic intention of the Japanese army is very obvious, that is, to attack our army from both wings and quickly go south to cut off our retreat route to achieve the goal of surrounding our army."
Hearing this, the officer present couldn't help but gasp and was very happy that if Japanese people were allowed to do this, our troops in Shanghai would be finished.
But I don’t feel much. One is because I have known that such a battle situation will develop long ago, and the other is because I know that Japanese cannot do this. If they can surround us so easily, there is no need to land in Hangzhou Bay to encircle us, right?
Sure enough, the Education Chief quickly pointed to the map and said: "The Shangfeng means appointing Chen Cheng, the deputy chief of the Ministry of Military Affairs, as the commander of the 15th Army, to rush to the 11 Shakou area for anti-landing operations. His vanguard troops have entered the 11 Shakou position, but because the follow-up troops failed to arrive in time, the troops were slightly insufficient. Shangfeng ordered our regiment to reinforce the 15th Army. Everyone..."
With a "bang!", the officers stood up and stood up.
"The hope of the party and the country, the life and death of our army depends on you!" Education issued a loud and clear order to us: "There are all, and it will be prepared within ten minutes, and we will quickly reinforce 11 sands!"
"Yes!" The officers responded with a loud bang, and then hurried out of the baton.
I didn't dare to follow everyone's steps and rushed out, shouting to my soldiers: "All of all!"
The whole hall soon became a mess, and soldiers were tidying up their equipment and guns everywhere. Ten minutes were not long, we had too many things to prepare and too many equipment to bring, guns, bullets, food, marching quilts, etc., but these things must be brought, because each of these things is our dependence on the battlefield.
However, the soldiers are considered troops that have been through the battlefield for a long time, so although it was a little messy, they still sorted out and stood in front of me within ten minutes. Then, the education director gave the order, and the troops rushed toward the gate...
When we left, many soldiers reluctantly looked at the synagogue. Although it was only a few days, this synagogue provided us with everything we could imagine like a shelter, so the soldiers naturally developed feelings and nostalgia for it.
Can we come back? Can we take a look at it again?
