Things seemed to be a bit out of Liu Goat and Tang Cheng's expectations, there was no scene in the tavern where these officers of the first battalion turned their faces with Liu Goat on the spot, and with Xie Chengrui personally reading out the appointment and the results of the second company, the officers of the first battalion quickly accepted the fact that Liu Shanyang was the acting battalion commander. "Damn, what do these guys have in mind? Don't you want to set up our company commander? The collective silence of the officers of the first battalion caused concern among the veterans of the second company, and Biao Zi had even begun to stare at the crowd looking for the few ill-intentioned guys that Qiu Jiangong said.

"Ball, if they dare to harm people, Lao Tzu will screw off their heads and throw them into the moat." The grumpy pockmarked face with the action of twisting people's heads, and Tang Cheng and Qiu Jiangong couldn't help but laugh when they watched it. Liu Shanyang successfully took over the position of commander of the first battalion, and his rank was finally promoted to major, which was the second promotion in less than half a month after he was promoted to captain. The veterans of the second company are looking forward to Liu Gogo being a bigger officer, so that their military rank can be promoted faster, but they can't be like Qiu Jiangong, although he is already in charge of the second company, he is still just a sergeant.

Xie Chengrui only left the first battalion for half an hour, and after half an hour, they had to rush to the city gate to take over the defense, and the second company would naturally follow, although the second company was divided into positions separately, but in the eyes of the other two infantry companies of the first battalion, the second company could be counted as a battalion. "If you look at their people, they look like that one by one, but the arrangement of firepower is far worse than our 88th Division." Mazi Face muttered to Tang Cheng in a low voice, and came back from a circle around the position of the first battalion, and Ma Zimian's contempt for the first battalion became more and more intense.

Seeing that Tang Cheng looked at him with an undisguised trace of suspicion in his eyes, Mazi's face immediately turned red and argued, "You don't believe what I just said?" Don't look at our Mazi is a person who has never even been a squad leader, but Lao Tzu has counted this time as the second time he has fought with the little devil in Shanghai, and he has never eaten pork or run without a pig Wow, our original Xie Company Commander, that is a serious graduate of the 800 Whampoa Military Academy, usually when he is idle, he doesn't tell us people about positional defense and firepower configuration, Lao Tzu has never read a book, but he can't stand Lao Tzu's brain to remember. ”

The pockmarked face ping-pong is so big and pong, but Tang Cheng is a little impressed by the pockmarked face, these veterans of the second company are indeed very set when they fight, if the second company does not have the existence of these veterans, maybe the second company was wiped out by the Japanese army as early as Shanghai. "Mazi, what the hell are you arguing with Xiao Tang there, this kid is the baby of our second company, if you fucking are told by the company commander that you are pulling Xiao Tang, maybe tomorrow I will send you to blow up the devil tank, do you believe it?" Biaozi's appearance interrupted Mazi's chatter in time and helped Tang Cheng temporarily get out of it.

"I'm just chatting casually with Xiao Tang, it's all joking, don't scare Lao Tzu here." Mazi let go of the hand that was holding Tang Cheng's front lining with a stupid face, winked at Tang Cheng's eyebrows, and turned around and walked towards the position of the second company. Like last time, the position of the second company this time was still outside the Guanghua Gate, with a battalion commanded by Liu Shanyang, and the dilapidated position bombed by the Japanese army was full of soldiers of the national army wrapped in cotton uniforms, and they were repairing those bunkers.

Tang Cheng wore the gloves given to him by Sister Emma, although it was only a leather single layer of gloves, but it kept Tang Cheng's fingers from stiffening like the others in the second company. Perhaps out of Liu Shangot's selfishness, the position assigned to the second company is only the flank of the entire defensive position, and this position does not look very much, Qiu Jiangong has already looked at the position back and forth several times, so the veterans of the second company were gathered together to discuss the distribution of firepower and personnel arrangement.

There are only more than 20 people in the second company now, but there are two light machine guns, if you count the Japanese 50 grenadiers that were hidden by pockmarks after the war and those 20-round barge guns in the second company, the overall firepower of the second company may be stronger than the Mahan platoon near them. "I think we still use the machine guns in a concentrated manner, and they are arranged on the right flank of the position, and our left side is against Mahan's platoon, and they have two light machine guns, which can completely block our front, so our center of gravity is the right flank position, and the firepower must be concentrated." Asako was a man who admired the supremacy of firepower, and many veterans of the Second Company agreed with him.

Strong firepower is always a prerequisite for dominating the battlefield, Liu Goat and Mazi tried their best to get weapons and ammunition for the second company for this reason, when they were in Shanghai, if the second company had superior weapons and equipment than at that time, maybe the second company would have died fewer people. "It's not good, let's arrange our light machine guns separately, the company commander has just taken over as the battalion commander of the first battalion, we can't just think about ourselves, we have to think about how to give the company commander a long face, don't let those guys in the first battalion underestimate our second company." Qiu Jiangong thought for a while and rejected Mazi's opinion.

The teaching team has always looked down on the second company, and Xie Chengrui is a person who is not easy to get along with, if there is anything wrong with the area defended by the first battalion, the first person to lose his head is Liu Goat, the acting battalion commander. The Japanese army's offensive on Nanjing was so fierce, Guanghuamen was definitely the top priority, and the people of the second company did not mind fighting with the Japanese army in a bloody battle or even dying here, but they were not happy to be used as cannon fodder by the people of the teaching team. For their own sake and for the former glory of the Second Company, they must be cautious, without Liu Goat, it is only a matter of time before the Second Company is incorporated by the teaching team.

"Then it's better to move the machine gun to the front, so that you can also take care of Mahan's side." Like Liu Goat, the relationship between the veterans of the second company and Ma Han is not bad, if it is to help the rest of the teaching team, the veterans are not very happy in their hearts, and if it is Ma Han, everyone's hearts will be more acceptable.

"It would be good to place the machine guns on both flanks of our position, which can provide fire support to the positions on Mahan's side, and our own two machine guns can also form crossfire, even if the Japanese army focuses on attacking us, we will not be under too much pressure because of the dispersion of firepower." Tang Cheng, who has not spoken out, can be described as amazing, his words happened to be heard by Liu Goat, who came over from the cat's waist, using crossfire to block the enemy, not a veteran with rich battlefield experience, he would never think of it.

Liu Goat squatted behind Tang Cheng and secretly gestured to Qiu Jiangong and a few of them, telling them not to expose their presence too early, Qiu Jiangong, who received Liu Goat's signal, nodded and asked Tang Cheng, "It's okay to arrange the machine gun like this, but we only have more than 20 people, what if the Japanese army focuses on attacking us?" Qiu Jiangong's words are exactly what Liu Goat meant, Liu Goat is not very optimistic about the first battalion, of course, the second company can't be stupid enough to know that Lu Dao is stubbornly defending the position, and in the face of changes in the battle situation, the second company must be ready to retreat at any time.

Tang Cheng's words just now were from the battlefield notes left by Xie Bo to see the firepower layout of the same position, and he only repeated it according to the script, but if he was asked to explain it carefully, Tang Cheng really couldn't say it, but the meaning of Qiu Jiangong's words, Tang Cheng had already heard it. Tang Cheng is not a dead eye, when the Japanese army is overwhelming, the second company naturally chooses to retreat, is it stupid to wait on the position to be beaten into a blood gourd by the Japanese bullets? Qiu Jiangong's words obviously implied that the Second Company would retreat, and Tang Cheng would not be able to hear it.

Before the battle, he should be optimistic about the route of retreat, this is one of the many things that Xie Bo explained to Liu Goat before leaving, and it is also the most important first, if he wants to save the lives of his brothers and leave the blood of reconstruction for the second company, it is not possible to just think about fighting to the death. It's better to be a rout than to lose a small life, the veterans of the second company all know this, who of them don't have the experience of being a rout once or twice, even Liu Goat did it before he entered the 88th Division.

Facing Qiu Jiangong's question, Tang Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment, shook his head very sincerely, he was the only one who fled for his life, Tang Cheng would think of a lot of ways, but the second company is now more than 20 people, and there are still nine catties of the three of them who can't be thrown away as things in the ambulance station, and the difficulty in the middle is not an ordinary difficulty. "If the timing is not right, I will transfer you back to the city first, I heard that there is a boat on the dock outside the Rujiang Gate to go to the other side, as long as you think about the Rujiang Gate." Liu Goat, who had been squatting behind Tang Cheng, finally spoke, startling Tang Cheng.

"You're finally enlightened, it's good to think of crossfire, look at which of these guys can think of this." Liu Goat slapped Tang Cheng's shoulder vigorously, completely ignoring Tang Cheng's hard work. "The machine guns are arranged according to what Tang Cheng just said, don't we still have a Japanese grenadier, arrange the grenadiers in the middle of the position, Mazi, you are in charge of the grenadiers, and those Japanese-style grenades belong to you."

Liu Goat determined the position of the second company in a few words, Tang Cheng, who was rubbing his shoulders, was extremely speechless to Liu Goat, this person is now the acting battalion commander of the first battalion, why do he always come to the second company to point fingers, and he is not afraid that the people of the first battalion will complain to Xie Chengrui that Liu Goat is not doing his job. Of course, things were not what Tang Cheng imagined, after hastily arranging the position, Liu Goat called Qiu Jiangong and Mazi to the side, and the three of them gathered together and muttered quietly for a while, with Niu Wazi guarding beside them, and no one listened to what they talked about.

"Chunhua Town is lost, and a large army of Japanese troops is coming." The herald of the 2nd Regiment from the city brought unfavorable news that Chunhua Town had been lost, the 51st Division had failed to hold Chunhua Town, and had now retreated to Nanjing, and the Japanese troops who had broken through Chunhua Town were biting the tail of the 51st Division and pursuing it. The Japanese troops attacking Guanghuamen in the past few days are just some tentative small forces, once most of the Japanese troops who have broken through Chunhua Town come here, what awaits everyone will be a bitter battle, Liu Goat's face gradually turned cold.
