Chapter 277: The End of the 4th Brigade (18)

Zhao Ergou led the artillery company to receive thirteen Type 41 mountain guns for the first time, and because of the lack of personnel, the gunners of the three infantry company machine gun platoons trained by Zhao Ergou were reassigned to Zhao Ergou's command.

The commandable personnel under Zhao Ergou quickly swelled to more than 200 people, which can be described as a strong soldier, much more majestic than an infantry company commander like Liu Dazhu with a hundred people, not to mention Ling Hong and Xiao Fenghua, special forces squadron leaders who only have five or six big cats and kittens.

It's just that Mayor Zhao's performance at this time is really a bit difficult to compliment, holding the cannon statue of the little devil and touching the tender hand of the big girl, just caress it gently, what's the matter with drooling while touching you?

It wasn't until Liu Lang came to check the preparations of the artillery company that Zhao Ergou, who had fallen into a state because of his sudden happiness, was finally brought back to reality.

"Zhao Ergou, how about it, these dozen or so cannons have been handed over to you, and it will be up to you to fight the 4th Brigade later, are there any other difficulties?" Liu Lang looked at Zhao Ergou, who was smiling with chrysanthemums blooming, and said with a smile.

It's really this thing smiling too brightly, which makes Liu Lang's mood feel much better.

"Report sir, do you want to say that there is a difficulty? It is...... ”

"Oh? Tell me about it, I'll solve everything I can solve for you. ”

"There are too many cannons, and there are not enough manpower, sir, do you think you want to buy me some manpower? It's really not good, you can leave the gunners from the first battalion and the second battalion to me first, and then I will train them after this battle, what do you think? Zhao Ergou blinked and said something.

"Zhao Ergou, they all say that you are stupid because you have too many cannons, Lao Tzu, you are not stupid, are you thinking about crooked tricks? I will leave you all the gunners of the fire platoon, do you believe that Lao Chi and Lao Yu can swallow you alive, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know what your idea is, is it that more than a dozen cannons are coming, and you are thinking that the artillery company is too small and should be changed to an artillery battalion? Liu Lang sneered.

"The conscience of heaven and earth, sir, the devils are thousands of people waiting for these things, I can completely handle it with a hundred people, no matter how you say it, it will take four or five hundred people to make it!" Zhao Ergou screamed with a face full of grievances.

However, judging from the squirry in his eyes, it was clear that he was saying, sir, that you were right.

"Hmph, wouldn't it be okay to go out in half and get another artillery company?" Liu Lang snorted lightly and walked towards the artillery position that was being hotly arranged.

In order to prevent enemy planes from bombing after dawn, the artillery company did not dare to put all its artillery in this flat valley, but went to great lengths to move it to the mountain protected by dense forests, and Chi Dakui specially sent an infantry company to help them.

Zhao Ergou opened his mouth and stammered, it seems that the statement of the chief can also solve this problem! It's just that this is a bit contrary to my original intention!

"Dog's day, don't you all give Lao Tzu to work, you want to be the new company commander, don't you?" Zhao Ergou glared at the subordinates who were snickering around him, and when the subordinates dispersed in a hurry, he hurriedly chased after Liu Lang and continued to mutter: "Sir, it's too little to divide into two companies, otherwise, let's divide it into three companies!" ”

Dogri still wants to be the battalion commander, and Liu Lang is defeated by this skinless face.

However, a skinless face is a skinless face, but Zhao Ergou, a tired guy, is really unambiguous.

From the beginning of the white belly of the sky, Zhao Ergou led the gunners of the artillery company to start test firing, and in the continuous correction of the bombing point by the observers in the front, the entire artillery company became more and more familiar with the performance of the Type 41 mountain gun, and the cannon became more and more accurate.

Although the artillery company did not have a single shot, and many of them did not hit the position, it could scare the devil a lot, and at most it was to guard against the Chinese army's favorite mortar, and then it would be thought that people still have mountain artillery, and it seems that there are still a lot of shells, and only the test firing took more than half an hour.

Ordinary devils are just scared, but for Suzuki Mitsu, it is like a mourning, and the worst result really happened. Type 41 mountain artillery, the field artillery wing of the Kwantung Army with the most field support artillery, how is he not familiar with it? It was actually grabbed by the damned Chinese.

"Yaga, damn Shinichi Kihara, he didn't carry out my orders, he will become a sinner of the Imperial Army." Mitsumi Suzuki's eyes were red, and he slashed at the sandbag in front of him with his major general's saber.

Now, there is no little Maza for him to vent his anger.

"Your Excellency Suzuki, I think the top priority now is to retreat and move closer to the main force of the division before the Chinese army begins to attack." Gu Yi was obviously anxious at this time.

The cold and hard land in northern China was obviously not only for the Chinese, but also for the Japanese, who only had sapper shovels, encountered great difficulties, and the field fortifications they had spent huge manpower and time to build could not withstand the bombardment of Type 41 mountain gun 75mm shells.

"Retreat? Gu Jun, look at their troop arrangement. "Suzuki Mitsu pointed to the Chinese army, which was already more visible than anyone 800 meters away from the position." Chinese Art of War: Encircling three and one, not to give the besieged army a chance of life, but to make it see the hope of life and lose the fighting spirit, an army that loses the fighting spirit and only wants to flee for its life can only become the result of their victory, do you believe it or not, whether it is last night or now, as long as we leave this position, we will be ambushed by them, and there will be no health. I just don't know who the Chinese commander who commanded this battle will be the henchmen of our Japanese Empire's annexation of China in the future. ”

Gu Yi was silent for a moment, and then suggested: "We will send another telegram to the division commander, asking him to ask Commander Muto for help, and ask the 6th Air Wing to send bombers to help us resist the attack of the Chinese, otherwise, our 4th Brigade will most likely not be able to hold out to the arrival of the main force of the division." ”

Obviously, at the time of life and death, Gu Yiyi also put down his mind of fighting for power and profit, and tried his best to give advice to Suzuki Mitsu.

Although he also knew that once this telegram was sent, the 4th Brigade would no longer have any honor to speak of, and it would be surrounded by despised Chinese and forced to ask for help from the air wing that was not part of the Kwantung Army, which would completely become the laughing stock of all units of the Kwantung Army. But what is this compared to the imminent annihilation of the army?

didn't refuse, Suzuki Mitsu just waved his hand silently and asked Gu Yi to do what he had just suggested. Mitsu Suzuki obviously thought of this as well, and Gu Yiyi helped him make this decision.

Shang Yuan was eighty miles away and was gathering the whole army to prepare to rush to Luo Wenyukou, Xiyi was shocked, he didn't expect that the battle situation of the 4th Brigade would be eroded to this point in just one night, could it be that the main force of the 29th Army on the opposite side was no longer here but went to besiege the 4th Brigade?

In addition to this, Nishiichi really couldn't figure out what other reason would make the 4th Brigade with two artillery brigades and nearly 10,000 elites of the Imperial Japanese Army be beaten so badly.

Suzuki Mitsu did not give a detailed account of the specific strength of the Chinese army under attack, but only said that the number far exceeded his own troops.

After receiving a telegram from Mitsu Suzuki asking for help, he sent the 16th Brigade under his command, the 1st Independent Brigade of Manchuria, the Lushun Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the Kwantung Army Automobile Brigade to Luo Wenyu, and at the same time sent an urgent telegram to the commander of the Kwantung Army, Muto Nobuyoshi, hoping to obtain support from the 6th Air Wing headquartered in Pyongyang.

Then, Nishiichi also made an impulse that he couldn't even forgive after seeing Mitsu Suzuki's body.
