"Look, heavy machine gun!" Little Dustpan, who was lying on the ground and pointed at the reinforcements, said excitedly.
Now Xiao Dustpan and the others don't know how many reinforcements have arrived. Anyway, a few hundred meters behind them is already a large area of darkness.
Some soldiers were setting up heavy machine guns at a higher point.
And that machine gun is the famous Maxim machine gun.
"Don't just look at the heavy-hitting guns, look at the mortars behind them!" Chen Hanwen also became excited.
The soldiers who gathered together saw the Northeastern Army setting up mortars from a distance.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, oh, six mortars, that's a mortar battery!" Chu Tian pointed his finger to check the number of mortars.
"Hey, this is called artillery. Look at us using that grenade. How can we call it throwing it?" Ma Erhuzi saw the Northeast Army moving out the mortar, and naturally thought that the Japanese grenade was Nothing anymore.
"Hey, what are those four cannons?" Guo Baoyou asked, pointing to the other four cannons.
There is an iron plate in front of the gun that is obviously used for protection, and the barrel is longer than the mortar, but the inclination of the gun is very small.
And that kind of cannon still had a wheel. Guo Baoyou pointed the cannon to the other side when he saw soldiers from the Northeast Army dragging and pushing it.
"That's a flat-fire cannon!" Qiu Bo, a veteran, explained to Guo Baoyou.
"What is a flat-fire cannon?" As a new recruit, Guo Baoyou naturally didn't understand.
"Flat-firing artillery is also called combat artillery, which means that the shells are flat when fired, just like when we shoot bullets with a gun.
This gun can be used to attack bunkers and tanks.
Alas, when we first encountered the Japs’ tanks and armored vehicles, we didn’t have a flat-firing cannon. If we had a flat-firing cannon, we would definitely be able to blow one up with one shot! "Qiu Bo explained patiently.
"What's the difference between that and a mortar? They're both cannons!" Guo Baoyou asked in confusion.
"The shells fired by the mortar are curved, just like the stones we throw. They can pass over some obstacles, such as big rocks, houses, mounds, etc. and bomb the enemies behind them. The two types of guns have their own They have their own uses." Qiu Bo continued to explain.
"Oh." Guo Baoyou understood what Qiu Bo said.
"Just wait and see. When the little Japanese's boat comes over the river in a while, look at our cannons firing like this. It will definitely beat the little Japanese like dumplings!" Qiu Bo said very confidently.
Guo Baoyou joined Shang Zhen and his group halfway in Hebei. This was the first time he saw that the Northeast Army had such powerful weapons, and he was naturally full of curiosity.
The so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
The 67th Army of the Northeastern Army participated in the war for the first time, so their weapons were very neat.
You must know that the 67th Army is definitely the main force of the Northeast Army.
After the Double Twelve Incident, the Supreme Command reorganized the Northeastern Army, and the original three or four divisions of the Type A Army were transformed into the Two Divisions of the Type B Army.
But that person only reduced the number of personnel, but they could not move the personnel of the Northeast Army. The 67th Army originally had 5 divisions, so now they have the strength of 5 divisions and 2 divisions.
Although the Northeastern Army was no longer in its heyday at this time, new recruit Guo Baoyou still felt that our team was powerful after seeing the weapons of the 67th Army.
Now that reinforcements have arrived, these soldiers under Shang Zhen have naturally moved aside.
They were all looking forward to the beginning of the battle. When the Japanese wooden boat and rubber boat appeared on the river, it was killed by the powerful firepower of the Northeast Army!
But they didn't notice that at this moment, the old man Shang Zhenwang was already saying goodbye to the battalion commander Wen Changqing.
"We still have to go back to Songjiang County to find the 108th Division. What we can help this time is limited. We are waiting for your good news in Songyuan County." Shang Zhen, who is usually taciturn, said goodbye to Wen Changqing this time. Appropriate.
"Oh, it's true. The fight is about to start again and I don't have time to see you off. Take care of yourselves." Wen Changqing was also very kind to Shang Zhen.
The farewell is now complete.
Wen Changqing went to do his own business. After Shang Zhen and Wang Laomao exchanged glances, they ordered Huzi to call all his people. They now need to return to Songyuan County.
"Why don't we leave now? We haven't seen the cannonball overturning the kid's boat!" Guo Baoyou said with regret when Shang Zhen and the others gathered together again and headed towards Songyuan County.
"If you are willing to stay here, you don't have to come with us. No one said I have to take you with me!" Wang Lao Mao said without looking back.
Guo Baoyou heard the dissatisfaction in Mr. Wang's tone. He looked at the others, which of course included Xiao Dustpan and the others who were watching the excitement with him at first.
It's just that the veterans who were discussing the powerful weapons of the Northeast Army with him just now were silent even though they looked disappointed now.
Only Hu Zhuzi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the little dustpan beside him reached out and tugged him, so Hu Zhuzi stopped talking.
He Xiangcai, Fan Tuantuan and Qiao Xiong, who temporarily joined Shang Zhen's group, remained silent.
They are also veterans, veterans who survived the cruel Songhu battlefield. Of course they understand why Shang Zhen wants them to retreat now.
As soon as they started walking away, the sound of machine gunfire rang out from the heavy machine gun position of the reinforcements.
"Follow me, hurry up! Run forward!" Shang Zhen ordered.
As soon as Shang Zhen ran like this, others noticed that the direction Shang Zhen was running in happened to avoid the direction of the Northeast Army's heavy machine gun positions and mortar positions.
At this moment, Guo Baoyou figured something out.
And just after Shang Zhen and the others passed the mortar position, there was a roaring explosion behind them, and the Japanese army began to counterattack.
It wasn't until he ran out of the range of Japanese artillery fire that Shang Zhen found a commanding height and climbed up. Then the others stopped in unison.
But the commanding height that Shang Zhen climbed was a tree.
No one else climbed up the tree because they were far away from the Huangpu River. Even if they climbed up the tree, they couldn't see clearly without binoculars.
So more than thirty soldiers stood under the tree, looking up at Shang Zhen eagerly.
After Shang Zhen observed the direction of the Huangpu River with a telescope for a while, he put away the telescope and climbed down from the tree.
"How's it going?" There were three people under the tree, but more than twenty people asked at the same time.
"At least this wave of little devils don't want to come from the river, they all fell into the Huangpu River!" Shang Zhen said.
When Shang Zhen said this, the soldiers' faces showed excitement again.
They seemed to see the Northeastern Army's Maxim heavy rifle, hitting the Japanese army's wooden boat and sending sawdust flying, and blowing the Japanese army's rubber boat out of air. It was a pure "puff" sound, just like the Chinese soldiers fighting the Japanese army. When people fought with bayonets, they poked several holes in Japan's buttocks and stomach!
"Shang Boy, wait until we enter Songyuan County, let alone find the 108th Division." At this time, Mr. Wang suddenly said.
Shang Zhen and Mr. Wang have now established a sufficient tacit understanding. They had no communication at all before they found Wen Changqing to say goodbye, but the meanings they expressed to Wen Changqing were the same!
But this time, Mr. Wang had a new proposal, but Shang Zhen nodded and said "ok" without thinking.
Guo Baoyou, who had learned to think, started thinking again. He wanted to know what the words of Wang Laomao meant.
