April 19, 1938, Zhenjiang, Eighty-Eighth Group Army Headquarters
Since the confrontation between the Eighty-Eighth Group Army and the Central China Expeditionary Force, Zhou Weiguo moved his headquarters to Zhenjiang City. This will also make it easier to command the troops.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo, Yang Jie, He Yuchen, Liu Yuan and Li Yunlong were standing on the edge of the Yangtze River.
"Mr. Soseki! I believe that our heavy artillery and other baggage can be transported across the river after today!"
Looking at the cars passing by on the bridge, Zhou Weiguo chuckled.
"Yes! It's just that the construction of this bridge took longer than we thought. It actually took four days and was only completed yesterday evening!"
Yang Jie said with a smile that the bridge actually took longer than he expected. He originally thought it would take more than ten days, but who knew it was completed in just four days.
"Haha! Four days! It's not that long. The engineering troops were able to build a steel bridge across the Yangtze River in four days, which exceeded my expectations. It seems that they are careful. When this battle is over Then reward them properly!"
Zhou Weiguo looked at the vehicles coming and going above, many of which were dragging artillery behind them, and couldn't help but laugh.
Those are the artillery of the heavy artillery division, and they are also an important supporting firepower for the Eighty-eighth Army in the next battle against the Japs.
Heavy artillery is too powerful. In a battle with the Japs, using heavy artillery for support will cause heavy casualties to the Japs.
"Chief! When will we be allowed to reserve a group? Their frontline troops have been fighting for so many days. I haven't even had a sip of soup since I reserved a group!"
Li Yunlong was wearing a national army uniform and carrying a colonel on his shoulders.
For a general like Li Yunlong who fought hard in the war, it was really frustrating to have to watch the battles but not fight them.
"Li Yunlong! You old boy, don't be impatient. You will fight later. We have not finished eating the three divisions of the Japs in Zhenjiang. According to the intelligence we have received, the Japs' Sixth Division has lost about half. , the 19th Division lost more than 10,000 people, and the 22nd Division suffered only a small loss, only one or two thousand people.
During the Battle of Zhenjiang, we only killed about 25,000 Japs in total.
Now that the Little Devils have added the 22nd Division, which suffered little loss, they still have about seven complete divisions. Their Third Division is in Nanjing and may not come out easily. Even so, they still have six divisions, plus the incomplete Sixth Division and Nineteenth Division, and there are nearly 200,000 troops. Do you think you will be missing from the future? "
Zhou Weiguo looked at Li Yunlong's impatient look and smiled and cursed.
"Chief! Don't we feel uneasy! Seeing other troops fighting in full swing, our team, Lao Li, is sitting on the bench at the back, which makes us feel uneasy!"
Looking at Li Yunlong¡¯s playful smile, Zhou Weiguo shook his head, this guy is hopeless.
"Okay! Don't be poor here, you old boy. Since you are itchy and have nothing to do, I will give you a task.
"Currently, we are blocking the Eighteenth Division of the Japs in Jing'an. However, the task of the 135th Division is also a bit heavy. They also have to go into the mountains to meet the old man and the others when they come back.
Your first regiment is now temporarily incorporated into the battle order of the 135th Division and used as a vanguard regiment, preparing to launch an attack on the 18th Jing'an Division! "
"Yes! Sir, please rest assured, we, Mr. Li, promise to complete the task!"
As soon as Li Yunlong heard that he could go to the battlefield and still be a pioneer, Li Yunlong immediately became energetic.
"Remember! You are now incorporated into the battle order of the 135th Regiment, but you must obey my orders. If you, an old boy, ignore the overall situation and come to a battlefield to disobey me, I will shoot you!"
"yes!"
After Li Yunlong left, Liu Yuan's eyes flashed with worry, but it was quickly hidden.
But Yang Jie next to him smiled and said: "Chief Commander, since you gave Li Yunlong a pre-regiment establishment and put him under the direct jurisdiction of the group army headquarters, you just want him to command independently. Why are you assigning him now? Give it to the 135th Division? Or use it as a vanguard regiment!"
"Li Yunlong is good at fighting. I am very optimistic about this. Li Yunlong, who has experienced more than ten years of war, has been trained on the battlefield. But he also has a very bad habit of disobeying orders on the battlefield!
I have heard of this kind of thing when I was there. Sometimes we have to give him lessons!
Our troops have not yetAfter walking into the headquarters, a staff officer handed over a telegram.
Zhou Weiguo took a quick look before handing it to Yang Jie with a smile?
"Mr. Soseki! It seems we are quite famous! Xiaohui sent a telegram saying that the number of soldiers recruited during this period has far exceeded our estimate. Originally, I asked him to recruit another 30,000 soldiers later. Who knew? Our reputation was so great that many people came in to join the army. On the day of recruitment, the various recruitment points did not have time to collect statistics, so they kept recruiting.
When they compiled the data, they discovered that the number of people recruited at each recruitment point had far exceeded our expectations! The number of troops recruited has doubled! "
"Haha! Chief, do you want these extra people or not? This telegram says that many of the people here are ordinary people around Xuzhou! They are all raising their families. If they are recruited We are in the process of marching, so I¡¯m afraid we have to resettle their families as well!¡± (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
