Zhu Shengzhong asked for orders, and Duanwu thought about it for a while. This was indeed a good idea, but it was not Zhu Shengzhong who led the people to fight, but Sun Shiyu's artillery.
The Dragon Boat Festival ordered: "Sun Shiyu, please take out a cannon and put out a grenade tonight. Go to the racecourse to find the important targets of the Japs and blast them. Remember not to force it. Shoot wherever there are more people."
Lao Snoring, your people sent two platoons to cover Sun Shiyu's artillery platoon. After the surprise attack on the little Japanese, you immediately evacuated. If there are kidnappers chasing after them, the special agent battalion will be responsible for covering them. And if not, you should evacuate quickly together, because the mission this time is to hit and run, and give the little devil a head start. See if the little devil makes any moves. "
"yes!"
Sun Shiyu and Lao Shou took the order and immediately went to prepare. Others also went back to rectify the troops of each battalion. For example, each company and each platoon in the battalion should count the number of people and any deficiencies in weapon configuration. How big is the personnel gap, and whether the weapons and ammunition situation are adequate.
If it's not enough, you have to go to Lao Abacus immediately to allocate weapons and ammunition to each battalion.
So fighting a war is easier said than done, but once it gets started, without a few outstanding grassroots commanders, it might not work.
However, at this time, Li Yunlong saw that everyone was leaving and asked, "Dragon Boat Festival brothers? Is this the end?"
Duanwu said in surprise: "Yes, it's over!"
Li Yunlong smacked his lips and said: "Brother Dragon Boat Festival, don't you want to fight? Just shoot an artillery platoon, and the two infantry platoons go to tickle the little devils? Is it possible to fight like this? How do I feel that you are playing house? What's the same? If there's going to be a war, we'll fight hard. If there's no war, and the Japanese are coming, we'll get into trouble.
You are so good, call it a war, you are just joking. You said there was no war, yet you sent people there. You said, this is too childish for you. "
"hehe!"
Duanwu smiled, and then said: "Brother Li, now that the enemy's situation is unclear, shouldn't we try to fight? And when we know the enemy's intentions, it will not be too late for us to use troops, otherwise there will be so many people, so many Moving troops back and forth will make the soldiers physically and mentally exhausted."
"Well,."
Li Yunlong thought for a while and seemed to think that Duanwu was right.
But he thought for a while and then said: "Then tell us when you want to fight. Although our second column of decisive battles has not yet developed, my new soldiers are still capable of helping your Dragon Boat Festival brothers to carry the wounded and deliver ammunition. .”
"Brother Li, don't worry. You will be indispensable in the war."
Duanwu smiled and patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder, then left and returned to his residence.
Of course, the Dragon Boat Festival is not about resting, but about in-depth study of the terrain from the racecourse to Jiazhuang.
The Dongyue Mountains stretch for more than a thousand kilometers, and there are countless mountains in them. Very useful for ambush warfare, guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, and other tactics.
But the little devils are not stupid either. When they enter such a dangerous place, they will definitely conduct repeated investigations. Otherwise, why didn’t Momotaro come in after he chased him to the racecourse? And his scouts were all killed, so why didn't he look for them?
Because he knew that the terrain in Mount Tai was complicated and it was easy to get in, but it was difficult to get out.
That's why he hunkered down at the racecourse and waited for reinforcements.
The arrival of the Chaoxian Division became an opportunity. They were able to fight independently and were also good cannon fodder. Momotaro was now ready to enter Mount Tai.
At this time, he was also reorganizing the army and checking the status of soldiers, weapons and ammunition in various departments. In addition, the headquarters allocated a large amount of weapons and ammunition, which were transported to the racecourse just one day ago.
They are all light weapons that Momotaro asked for, such as light machine guns and grenade launchers. He wants to imitate the Dragon Boat Festival's fast fighting style. Although his plan to purchase automatic weapons was scolded by his headquarters, he still believes that automatic weapons will dominate the future battlefield.
But the gentlemen in the headquarters didn't listen, and there was nothing he could do.
So he could only do the next best thing and report to the superiors that the machine gun had been damaged a lot in the battle and needed a lot of replenishment, otherwise it would be difficult to form combat effectiveness.
So the headquarters sent him 100 light machine guns, 30 grenade launchers, 50,000 rounds of machine gun shells, 200 rounds of artillery shells, and then Type 38 rifles and bullets, etc.
Momotaro looked at the pitiful weapons and equipment and could only accept them with tears.
What should I do if I don’t accept it? If you don't accept it, these things will be gone.
So he immediately accepted it and allocated more than half to his own troops, while the remaining small part was allocated to the Kunisaki detachment.
As for the Fourth Division, Momotaro discovered when he arrived that it was a lazy force.
Perhaps he never dreamed that the empire's majestic main division would look like this.
So after the weapons and ammunition arrived this time, he split up with the Iron Triangle of the Kunisaki detachment.
Of course, Momotaro would not offend anyone easily. What he and Captain Matsuyama explained was that his troops and the Kunizaki detachment had suffered serious weapon and ammunition consumption in previous battles. If these weapons and ammunition were not replenished, the troops would The combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.
Matsuyama promised, but Momotaro had no idea what Matsuyama thought.
Because just think about it, would the people in the Fourth Division be fools? They are called the Small Traders Division. Everyone has his own business experience in his mind.
And if such a person is a fool, then I'm afraid there will be no smart people in this world.
But why did Matsuyama just agree without saying anything? Because those weapons and ammunition cannot be sold, selling them will be very risky.
And what a good excuse that is?
The weapons and ammunition supplemented by the headquarters were divided between Momotaro's mixed brigade and Kunizaki detachment. His Matsuyama regiment did not receive supplementary weapons and equipment, so its combat effectiveness was low and it was unable to fight head-on.
Damn it, is there any better excuse than this? Matsuyama woke up laughing from his dream.
His purpose in this battle is to follow Momotaro and collect military exploits. In case of failure, he walks at the back and runs easily.
Anyway, that's what Matsuyama thought, and he explained it.
The little devil below naturally obeyed. Because they are the real smart people. They fight the Chinese like crazy, and then they die without even catching a single thing. What are they doing?
So as soon as Matsuyama's order was conveyed, not a single Japanese objected, they all raised their hands in approval.
But Momotaro didn't know, and still simply believed that although the people of the Fourth Division looked a little useless, they were the imperial army after all. Once a war breaks out, the Chaoxian Division should be much stronger.
So Momotaro was still treating Matsuyama as a reserve force, but little did he know that once the battle situation was unfavorable, Matsuyama would be the first to run away with his troops. Moreover, he had prepared all the excuses, and Momotaro gave them to him as a gift.
So if Momotaro knew that this would be the result, he would have arranged weapons and equipment for the Matsuyama Alliance no matter what! .
