371. The first attack on the sea

At noon on the second day after Bai Shujie returned to the headquarters, Zhao Jinxi came in with a telegram and said, "Big brother, it's really weird. Yesterday's press release from the Southern Government, which is still being broadcast today, said to congratulate Hitler on his election as president of the German Empire. Was this Hitler famous? ”

Hearing that Hitler became president, Bai Shujie was also shocked: "What time is it today?" ”

Zhao Jinxi knew that Bai Shujie rarely said the year name of the Republic of China, so he reminded: "Today is the fourth day of August in the twenty-third year of the Republic of China, that is, August 4, 1934." How did you do it, I don't even remember the time? ”

Bai Shujie usually does not mention the era name of the Republic of China, and the explanation to everyone is: "Lao Tzu is not interested in the southern government, so naturally he does not mention their era name." ”

Later, the southern government declared them rebels, and everyone agreed with Bai Shujie's view. In fact, Bai Shujie used the year of the Common Era in his previous life, so he always couldn't remember the year name of the Republic of China.

When issuing a combat order needs to be signed, the transition between these two times, he also needs to calculate half a day in his heart. So every time Bai Shujie signed his name, he would stay for a long time before writing down the date, which made him annoyed. Later, a military decree was simply issued: all telegram correspondence should be in the Common Era. The name is "in line with international standards"!

The process of issuing orders by Bai Shujie is divided into "two stages," and there is always a pause in between, which is already an open secret within the entire confidential office, telecommunications office, and headquarters.

However, no one would have thought that their commander-in-chief would not be able to remember the time! Everyone has always felt that the commander-in-chief is meticulous and has very strict requirements for the concept of time!

Gan Tong was brought out by three old people, so he is very familiar with the Republic of China chronicle. Zhao Jinxi is a high-achieving student from Zhang Dashuai's new-style normal school, and he always uses the A.D. era. So, Bai Shujie finally found a soulmate. Therefore, it is always Gan Tong who is sent out to take charge alone, and it is naturally Zhao Jinxi who stays by his side as an assistant, because there is more common language!

Gossip has been expressed, and the book is back to business.

Bai Shujie figured out the time, and suddenly remembered something, so he explained to Zhao Jinxi: "Hitler is not only famous, but will be very famous in the future, you will know soon!" Hitler's election as president means that he has given himself all the titles of president, chancellor, and supreme commander of the three armed forces of Germany! The southern government is sycophant because of one thing. ”

"The army of the Germans is known as Shijie No. 1, and the ammunition is also extremely powerful, more powerful than the little devils. Since the time of the People's Restoration, the reorganization of the entire army has been carried out with reference to the German Prussian army. The Germans were defeated in the First Shijie War, and the Allies allowed them to keep only 100,000 troops, so there were a large number of retired soldiers. ”

"However, the war was lost, the industrial base of Germany remained, and the military remained. Therefore, some militarily backward countries have hired German military veterans as consultants. After falling out with Soviet Russia in 1927, the Southern government quickly hired Germans as advisers. Moreover, the two sides have already signed an agreement on the supply of arms for 60 integrated divisions, and now the equipment of the first batch of 10 integrated divisions should be on the way. ”

Zhao Jinxi nodded: "I understand a little, the division and regiment establishment of the little devil is completely different from the domestic one." Both the equipment and the number of people are much larger than the domestic establishment. It is said that a fully equipped integrated division of the little devils can approach 30,000 people! ”

Bai Shujie clapped his hands and said, "You're right! The little devil's horse-pulling division, that is, the absolute main combat division, their establishment is more than 28,500 people, and our three divisions may not be able to handle them! Because of this, now that there is artillery, I went to Sanxian Cave to understand the situation, and a new round of army reorganization is also imperative! ”

Zhao Jinxi asked suspiciously: "Could it be that we also have 30,000 compilers?" That's a lot more difficult to command! ”

"No, I wouldn't do that!" Bai Shujie shook his head: "Although we are not afraid of positional warfare, we must not specialize in positional warfare!" However, each main division must have its own artillery regiment, and only in this way can it compete with the integrated divisions of the little devils. That is to say, the front-line combat units, each division should increase the establishment of one regiment, reaching about 14,000 people. ”

"Specifically, each division has a cavalry regiment, two infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, a guard battalion and a baggage battalion. The infantry regiment has a machine gun battalion, a mortar and infantry artillery battalion, and a rifle battalion, the artillery regiment has a 75mm mountain (field) artillery battalion, a 37mm antiaircraft gun battalion, and a 105-mm field cannon battalion, the guard battalion has a communications company, a medical company, a machine gun company, and a cavalry company, and a baggage battalion has two pack horse companies and a machine gun company. ”

Zhao Jinxi raised his fingers and counted for a moment, and then said: "In this way, when we need to use the 918 incident, all the mortars and 75mm guns that were snatched from the Fengtian Ordnance Factory are no longer enough for the little devils." But in this case, we don't have any inventory. ”

Bai Shujie's expression was a little solemn: "We spent so much effort to secretly transport these heavy weapons over for the sake of stock. The so-called good steel is used on the blade, and now it is time for these more than 300 artillery pieces to come into play! ”

"I have also inquired about the situation in the arsenal, and we are not yet able to supply shells for heavy artillery, but all kinds of shells below 75mm have been fully supplied. In addition, the ammunition and cartridges of the Deggarev light machine gun were also able to meet the supply, so all the next cavalry regiments and infantry regiment machine gun battalions were equipped with this machine gun. ”

"I'm in favor of this!" Zhao Jinxi nodded and said: "Although the Deg Galev light machine gun is heavier, it is not much different, as long as the problem of carrying the bullet disc is solved." In particular, this machine gun has a simple structure and durability, and the 47-round cartridge has good fire continuity and is powerful enough. ”

"Hmph, the little devils have always thought that we are all using their crooked tricks, and this has become their fixed thinking!" Bai Shujie said with a gloomy smile: "The little devil's reorganization division is coming back soon, and Lao Tzu just wants to beat him off guard and kill the little devil's crooked trick with the Deg Galev light machine gun!" ”

"Hee-hee, I see!" Zhao Jinxi said with a smile: "The effective range of the crooked handle is only 600 meters, but the effective range of the Deg Galev light machine gun can reach 800 meters, which is almost catching up with the Type 92 heavy machine gun!" Drive the crooked little devils out of range and make their infantry completely curseless! ”

"Those who know me, so do my sisters!" Bai Shujie figured out all the details, and suddenly opened his arms to Zhao Jinxi and said, "Now that it's done, are we the one all of a sudden?" ”

"you! There are so many people in the headquarters, you don't have to be respectful, what are the ghosts and you! Zhao Jinxi's face was flushed with shame, and he turned around and ran out of Bai Shujie's office.

Zhao Jinxi had just walked for less than half an hour, and Wang Xinlan suddenly shouted at the door: "Report!" Artillery commander Zhao Dayong is in a hurry! ”

As soon as Bai Shujie heard Wang Xinlan's voice, he felt a little overwhelmed in his heart. When there are good things, Wang Xinlan will not appear. As soon as she appears, it must be an earth-shattering thing. Therefore, he hurriedly shouted: "Xinlan, you won't appear without the emergency electricity, why don't you come in and read it to me!" ”

"Commander-in-Chief: At about 10 o'clock this morning, our 1st Heavy Artillery Battalion made its first head-on contact with the enemy's warships at a distance of about 18 kilometers by stealing beams and replacing pillars. Twelve heavy guns fired three salvos, sinking one gunboat and damaging one enemy plane by the anti-aircraft company. Our side was hit by a shell at close range, one person was killed, nine were wounded, and the heavy artillery was unharmed. Heavy Artillery Regiment: Zhao Dayong. ”

Bai Shujie grabbed the telegram and read it carefully for a long time, and suddenly began to lose his temper: "When did Zhao Dayong run to the front line, he didn't say hello!" What kind of bullshit telegram is this, nothing is clear! ”

"Detachment leader, don't be too anxious, the battle will naturally be clear later." Wang Xinlan had to be careful to comfort: "The first battle report is always simple, because they still need to transfer the artillery position. ”

Wang Xinlan was right, Zhao Dayong was on the way to transfer his position, and he sent a temporary report on the battle situation. The telegram is simple, and the process is complicated.

Zhao Dayong was also commanding a large heavy artillery unit for the first time, and he was naturally cautious in his heart, for fear that if he was not careful, he would fail the commander-in-chief's efforts. Therefore, half a month ago, he had quietly rushed to the front line to personally command.

It turned out that although two false positions were preset to confuse the enemy, they also deliberately left a defensive hole, hoping to be discovered by the little devil's spies. However, when Lan Caiqin occupied Jinxi and Suizhong, she had a big sweep of enemy agents and traitors, otherwise she would not have arrested more than 20,000 foreigners! Later, all the people on this line were moved away, and there was no way for the little devils to get in.

After Zhao Dayong rushed to the front line, he naturally discovered this situation. But you can't send someone over to tell the little devil: "You send someone to reconnoitre, we promise not to arrest or kill anyone!" ”

After three days of exploration, Zhao Dayong had a plan. Then he went to Lan Caiqin's Third Division Headquarters and learned in detail where the people of Jinxi and Suizhong had been relocated. Then he went from house to house, and finally he found 17 old fishermen.

Zhao Dayong found Zhang Bixiang from Tashantun Fishing Village, a boat boss in his forties, so he asked very carefully: "Uncle, your fishing boat is not there yet?" ”

"Yes, it's in front of the tunzi. I couldn't bring it with me, so I buried it in the sand. Zhang Bixiang said with a smile: "When you get rid of the little devils, I will go back to lead the big guys to fish." ”

"Uncle, that's what it looks like." Zhao Dayong said briefly: "Recently, the little devil's warship has always been swaying in Suizhong. Uncle, you should know that the little devil's warship is the most rampant, so we want to ask you to go out to sea to fish, so that the little devil thinks that there is nothing going on around here. Okay? ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
