Chapter 1276: The dawn here is quiet! (1)
Goto Toshiki is an army artillery master, affiliated to the 36th Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, and serves as the captain of the artillery squadron of the 23rd Infantry Regiment!
Because of the equipment and ammunition, they set out one day later than the Fourth Cavalry Brigade.
Even so, their artillery squadron still couldn't get all the equipment and set off in a hurry!
In order to protect their safety, the superiors also equipped him with a squadron of infantry escorts, but the squadron was missing a small team, which was as dissatisfied as his squadron!
With a cavalry guide from the Xing'an Army of the Puppet Manchukuo, this team actually had a size of 400 people when they set out from Tongliao!
Such a team has guns and cannons, and no one dares to approach, let alone make any ideas.
Two mountain cannons and two 92-type infantry cannons are all the assets of Goto Squadron. Of course, there must be shells. Although the number is not large, each one has a base of thirty shells, thirty shells (the base of Japanese artillery shells in World War II is difficult to find, basically thirty or sixty, and 100 field cannons).
A total of 120 shells were added, and it was more than enough to fire a city guarded by the Chinese army that did not even have artillery.
Goto Shunhei was very confident. As soon as his artillery arrived, the Chinese would have to stick out his neck and let the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire cut them off!
"Master Goto, it's almost dark. Should I find a place to camp and leave tomorrow?" the company commander of the Xing'an Army asked flatteringly.
"Well, camping work!" Goto Toshi nodded. He had just stepped onto China's land. He was not familiar with the terrain. It was not a big problem during the day. He would not get lost by comparing the map, but at night, if he wanted to march, he could only rely entirely on the guide!
He completely disbelief of the Chinese. They cannot be regarded as soldiers at all. They are even worse than gangsters!
He was sure that he only needed to send a squad of Japanese soldiers to easily defeat the Chinese army of this company!
And there are no more than three casualties!
The Japanese army was very skilled in setting up camps. In less than half an hour, they were done. On the other hand, the puppet soldiers were in a hurry and had not even set up a tent. The Japanese soldiers had already sat down to rest. They were on guard, the fire cooking, and everything seemed in order!
"The Chinese army has such qualities. Our great Japanese Empire is not far from ruling this vast land!" Goto Toshihi said with great emotion!
"Gotou Jun. I didn't expect that we could make achievements as soon as we set foot on the land of China. This is simply an opportunity given to me by God!"
"Kun Takashima. This is the gift of His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor is supreme!"
"Takashima, what do you think about tomorrow's battle?" Goto Shunhee asked.
"Thoughts?" Takashima couldn't help but be shocked.
At this moment, a communication soldier suddenly rushed over.
"Soldier, why are you so panicked?" Goto Toshihi asked with some displeasure.
"Your Majesty, please call the commander of Mogi Brigade!"
"What are you saying?" Goto Toshi narrowed his eyes slightly, and he said with a dissatisfaction with the communications soldier's attitude.
"The Chinese reinforcements arrived, and the attack of the Fourth Brigade was frustrated. Please be sure to lead the artillery squadron and baggage and supplies to arrive before 10 am tomorrow!"
"The attack was frustrated?" Goto Toshihi was slightly stunned. The Fourth Cavalry Brigade was an old powerful brigade. A mere Chinese man could actually make the attack of the Fourth Brigade. What is this going on?
"I called back and said Goto must arrive. Please rest assured, Mr. Morigi!" Goto Toshihi said.
"Hayi!"
"Gotou, strange, why did Lord Mokigi send us such a telegram? Can't the Fourth Cavalry Brigade take down a small Chinese man? " Captain Takashima speculated.
"This is hard to say. Obviously, Lord Mogi may have suffered a considerable loss from the Chinese army. It is normal to rashly attack the city without artillery and lose some!" Goto Toshihi said.
"Yes, I heard that the Chinese army facing Mogi Pavilion is a little different. I heard that they have experience in fighting with us and their performance is different from the average Chinese army. They seem to be very brave!"
"This is all the reasons the loser has found for himself. Takashima-kun, it's better not to believe such rumors!" Goto Toshiki said without hesitation.
"Hay, Goto Kwan said very much!" Takashima said with a slump.
"Go and see how our dinner is ready. From tomorrow on, we will not have such a leisurely opportunity to have dinner!" Goto Toshihi said sighing.
"Yes, Goto-kun!" Captain Takashima echoed.
Kailu City, temporary command center!
"Da Biao, this trip is a big deal. You have to think clearly. If anything goes wrong..." Gao Wenbin did not continue, but the meaning was already very obvious. This trip was very pneumonia, and it is very likely that he would never have a chance to come back.
"Sir, a real man has done something and does not do anything. Moreover, there are not many people familiar with the terrain here. Who will I go if I don't?" Song Dabiao said loudly.
"Okay, Dabiao, sir, did not read you wrong. You are indeed a man who dares to act!" Gao Wenbin said excitedly.
"Chief of Staff, let Han Tianmu go with him, and he is also familiar with the situation in this area!" Gong Changhai said.
"Will Han Tianmu?"
"No, this kid is not a coward!" Gong Changhai said indifferently.
"Okay, then let Han Tianmu and Da Biao go together!" Gao Wenbin made up his mind and nodded.
"Chief of Staff is looking at people in the cracks in the door. When will I, Han Tianmu, be afraid of me?" Han Tianmu's dissatisfied voice rang.
"Brother Han, Gao is wrong and apologizes to you!" Gao Wenbin corrected his mistake.
"I dare not. The Chief of Staff does not understand Han, so he will inevitably have such an idea!" Han Tianmu said without being soft or hard.
Gao Wenbin smiled embarrassedly. All talented people have pride. Han Tianmu is afraid that this is such a person.
"Command, gather!"
Nearly three hundred elite soldiers were selected from the remaining more than a thousand cavalrymen.
"Brothers, I know I'll pick you out. What is the purpose of setting up this commando?"
"We almost got the Japanese ambushed. Thousands of brothers died. We can't just let this blood hatred!"
The team members' eyes were red. You should know that among the dead comrades, they were their brothers, fellow villagers, and even fathers and sons!
"Others say that a gentleman takes revenge, it's not too late for ten years. I'm not a gentleman. I always like to take revenge overnight, so I picked you out!" Gong Changhai said loudly.
"The only son in the family is out of the list!"
"Have a wife and children to provide for you!"
"One who has been married and has not yet left the list!"
More than thirty people walked out of the queue!
"You don't have to join the commando team, you all return to the original organization!" Gao Wenbin announced loudly.
"Chief of Staff, why don't we participate? We can't do it?"
"That's right, we're going to join the commando!"
"We will avenge the dead brothers!"
"It's just that it's not possible. This is discipline. Do you want to violate discipline?" Gao Wenbin scolded sternly.
The leaders immediately drooped their heads. Discipline is not a joke. No matter who you are, how high a military position, as long as you violate discipline, you will still deal with it!
"Okay, I want to fight and want to avenge my dead brothers. There are still opportunities below!" said Gong Changkai.
"Song Dabiao, I appointed you as the commando captain as Chief of Staff of the Rehe Column. Your task is to find the Japanese opera and may send artillery support troops, find it and destroy it for me, hear clearly!" Gao Wenbin said loudly.
"I heard it clearly and I guarantee to complete the task!" Song Dabiao said respectfully.
"Han Tianmu!"
"You serve as the deputy captain of the commando team and assist Song Dabiao in completing this mission. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Han Tianmu said loudly.
"Okay, let's go!" Gao Wenbin waved his hand and ordered loudly.
"Everyone has it, get on the horse, according to the team organization, the first team is in front and the third team is in back, set off!" Song Dabiao jumped onto the horse and announced loudly.
"Chief of Staff, how much hope do you think they have?" Gong Changhai looked at the team that was leaving and couldn't help but ask.
"Ten percent!"
"Chief of Staff, don't talk big things ahead!" Gong Changhai said in surprise.
"If they fail, then Kailu can't defend it anymore, so I said they must complete the task, otherwise if they go up tomorrow and the Japanese army will attack the city again, it will not be like this today!" Gao Wenbin said.
"I hope so!" Gong Changhai was still a little unsure. They had no intelligence and no investigation in advance. They were completely like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse. If Song Dabiao and the others encountered this, it would be God's will.
Having said that, the blind cat of the commando team is not really in no direction at all. It is like casting a net to catch fish. Unless you are very lucky, you may not be able to catch a single fish in one night!
"Deputy Team Han, we will lead one team by one, so the efficiency is higher. If you go this way, I go this way, and we come here to meet up. What do you think?"
"Well, yes, I calculated that even if the Japanese army had reinforcements, they would have to go at least a hundred miles away. The Japanese army was not familiar with the environment, and even if they had guides, they would not walk at night, so our search range should be a hundred miles away!"
"Okay, I agree with your opinion!" Song Dabiao nodded. It seemed that Han Tianmu was still capable.
"Then how do we contact us? If we find the target?"
"We don't have wireless walkie-talkies like the Special Wars Brigade, but we have a way to learn to call the wolf!" Song Dabiao said.
"Well, this is a solution!"
"A wolf cries meant that I didn't find it. Two sounds mean that I continued to move forward, three sounds mean that I found it again. Nine sounds mean that the number of enemies is large!"
"Okay, that's it!"
"What should I do if I issue a Japanese Rangers?"
"Try not to be alarmed. If you are discovered, then do it cleanly and don't expose our whereabouts!" Song Dabiao thought for a moment.
"I understand!" Han Tianmu nodded, led the team to break up with Song Dabiao, and soon disappeared into the darkness!
