When Zhou Weiguo was reorganizing his troops in Huainan and preparing for a big fight, a new commander was ushered in at the Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters.
"Gentlemen! From now on, I am the commander of the Central China Expeditionary Force. Please take good care of me in the future!"
An old guy who looked like a drug addict and a gentleman was standing in the headquarters of the dispatched army, holding a command knife, looking at the generals and said.
This person¡¯s name is Yan Junliu. According to history, he will not take over Matsui Ishigen¡¯s position as commander of the Central China Expedition Army so soon. However, because the Thirteenth Division was destroyed, the regiment flag snatched by Zhou Weiguo was not taken back. Instead, the Nationalist Government took it and displayed it in newspapers, which made the Japanese base camp angry. Matsui Ishigen was immediately dispatched, regardless of his combat achievements in the past few months. He was sent back to China with a transfer order.
And Yan Junliu became his successor.
Also because of the arrival of the new commander, except for the division commanders who found it really difficult to escape, everyone else has returned.
"Because of some of Matsui-kun's mistakes, the empire lost a division. However, as a warrior of the empire, it is honorable to serve the empire and die in battle. Our war will continue. We will still conquer and conquer China. Now the empire has decided to send more troops to China again.
But before adding more troops, we need to do one more thing. Open the Jinpu railway line! "
Yan Junliu was really anxious. He started discussing the battle plan on the first day he took office.
However, while he was here to discuss the battle plan, Zhou Weiguo was watching the heavy artillery regiment in Huainan.
"Get ready!"
"put!"
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
Amidst the bursts of explosions, smoke and dust began to rise all over the sky.
Zhou Weiguo held a telescope and looked at the targets in the distance.
"Yuchen! It seems that Du Qingming has trained well! He has only been training for a few days, and these newly recruited soldiers are already in shape!"
Zhou Weiguo put down the telescope and said to He Yuchen beside him.
"Yes! It's indeed good, but Brigade, they are now a dead target, and they are all ready now. There is no such close enemy on the battlefield where they can fight for them!"
In fact, He Yuchen is also quite optimistic about Du Qingming, who came back from studying in country D. He is different. In just a few days, the heavy artillery regiment was trained to be obedient.
"Of course I know this! I'm going to ask them to take them to Changfeng County for bombing in two days. Now the little devil is hanging around under my nose every day, and I really can't stand it if I don't mess with him a few times!"
Zhou Weiguo squinted his eyes and said softly.
"Du Qingming, colonel commander of the Heavy Artillery Regiment, reports to the brigade!"
At this moment, Du Qingming ran over and said loudly.
"Well! I heard that you are from Yunnan. Are you still used to coming to Huainan?"
Zhou Weiguo waved to Du Qingming, indicating that he was walking and talking.
The two were walking side by side, Zhou Weiguo asked with a smile, holding his hands behind his back.
"Get used to it! I was transferred to Shanxi before, and it's even colder in Shanxi. It's been covered with heavy snow during this period!"
"Yeah! Just get used to it! You have trained these soldiers well. Today is only January 6th! You have been training for the past few days and you have started firing off artillery. You are doing well. Now the little devil is mobilizing troops. I estimate that they will still have troops to mobilize in a while. I don¡¯t think it will be too long, so I want you to make each of them an excellent artillery within two months.¡±
While Zhou Weiguo was talking, he was thinking about the Battle of Xuzhou in history. Now the Battle of Xuzhou has actually begun.
The Japanese North China Expeditionary Force has now begun to take action. Zhou Weiguo knows that according to the historical trajectory, in February, the Central China Expeditionary Force will also begin to take action to join this battle, and the two front armies of the Japanese army will also jointly open the Jinpu Railway Line .
Of course, history has now seen its own variables, and Zhou Weiguo doesn't know how much history he can change.
"My dear, two months is a little short, isn't it? A large part of the three thousand people we have just recruited are farmers. Even the preliminary theoretical work will probably take a while."
Du Qingming frowned and expressed the difficulties at hand. The artillerymen he is training now are not mortars, but 75mm field guns.
But they are all heavy artillery and artillery.Once the caliber of artillery reached above 105, the requirements for artillery began to increase.
Not to mention the current 155mm heavy-caliber artillery. It takes more time to train such artillery because the requirements are higher.
"You have to solve these problems yourself. I don't care whether their theory is acceptable or not. I have only one request, and that is to train a group of qualified artillerymen for me within two months. I don't care how many artillery shells you consume in the meantime. I don¡¯t care how much other supplies you consume, I just want one result - I will have a group of qualified artillerymen in two months. I will replenish you with as many artillery shells as you need for training."
Zhou Weiguo made a request, and that was the result. He only looks at results. He has no shortage of things like cannonballs. Even if you fire 10,000 rounds of artillery shells a day, I can replenish it for you immediately, but my requirement is to have a group of qualified artillerymen in two months.
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
Du Qingming knew from Zhou Weiguo's tone that the front line must be in urgent need of artillery support, otherwise he would not have said this.
"Well! Don't talk about completing the mission yet. We have a batch of 105-caliber howitzers and cannons arriving tonight. Tonight, you bring someone over and come with me to the bank of the Huaihe River to receive them. There are sixty-four 10s in total. Five-caliber howitzers and thirty-two 105-caliber cannons. After you go down, you will also start training artillery. As for the non-artillery operators of the artillery regiment, you don¡¯t have to worry. I will continue to recruit troops during this period and then send them to you. Come here. I require that all the 5,600 people in the heavy artillery regiment are all artillerymen. They can expand me into four artillery regiments in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhou Weiguo stopped and looked at Du Qingming and said.
"Yes! I understand, I understand! But Brigade, isn't it good that we use 120- and 155-caliber artillery? Why use 105-caliber artillery?"
Du Qingming likes this kind of heavy artillery very much. In China, where his cousin was the commander of the artillery regiment, they only had 75mm caliber mountain artillery, and the quantity was not enough. The ammunition is not very sufficient. Now that Zhou Weiguo is here, he can put what he has learned in country d to use. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
