    Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the Japanese military positions at the bottom of the mountain, Song Xilian felt quite complicated!

    It has been almost ten days since the battle started on the Fujin Mountain battlefield, but their reinforcements have never arrived, and there is even no news, as if they have disappeared from the world.

    On the contrary, the Japanese follow-up troops are busy moving from south to north, and the number of Japanese troops on the front line is still increasing rapidly.

    With one thing ebbing and the other ebbing, it is conceivable that within a few days the Japs will exhaust the last bit of strength of the 36th Division and then easily occupy the position.

    And through the telescope, Song Xilian could clearly see the Japanese artillery positions spitting out tongues of fire behind the groves at the foot of the mountain, the transport vehicles traveling on the road, and even the wounded soldiers' first aid center with tents, all clearly displayed in front of him.  In front of you.

    "If there was an artillery regiment, even an artillery battalion, with such a favorable terrain, it would never let the little devils be so free." Song Xilian said with emotion.

    But he didn¡¯t have one, and he didn¡¯t have an artilleryman anymore, which made him very sad.

    The 71st Army has artillery, but it is not field artillery. It only has more than a dozen small-caliber mortars. Such artillery cannot even be regarded as artillery in the Japanese army.

    But even so, Song Xilian regarded these mortars as treasures and did not dare to use them easily.

    However, in the battle of Fujin Mountain, Song Xilian still took out all these treasures.

    But unfortunately, due to the range, his artillery battalion was destroyed by the Japs on the third day of the war. The whole battalion of 14 mortars and more than 400 people were almost wiped out.

    To be honest, Song Xilian sometimes really couldn¡¯t figure it out. As a direct branch of the Kuomintang Central Army, especially the reinforced army with 4 divisions, why didn¡¯t it have a real artillery?

    Even if it is an artillery battalion, as long as there are more than a dozen large-caliber mountain artillery or field artillery, the little devils will be rampant here.

    You must know that cannon is called the god of war. Even if the god of war still wants to fight, it is understandable that he will be suppressed and beaten by the little devil.

    Many people think that German weapons divisions are as well-equipped as the German army, especially weapons and equipment such as artillery. However, the actual situation is that the German weapons divisions of the Chinese army were instructed to uniformly equip German m35 helmets, but  There was no German infantry division combat equipment.

    In fact, the so-called German armor master is just a "virtual armor master" in appearance, which is a simplified version of the "cottage machine".

    The gap between fake machines and genuine products is not that big. Let¡¯s make a simple comparison with the firepower at the squad and platoon level. A typical German infantry division consists of 10 people, including one non-commissioned officer (squad leader) and 9 soldiers, the squad leader.  The standard weapon since 1941 was an MP38/40 submachine gun.

    The tactical core of the German infantry squad is the general-purpose machine gun. Each squad will be equipped with a three-person machine gun group, equipped with mg34 or mg42 general-purpose machine guns.  Excluding the machine gunner and squad leader, there are 6 infantrymen in an infantry squad, equipped with individual equipment such as 98k rifles and grenades.

    The infantry squad of the German Arms Division is equipped with a Czech-made machine gun. Due to factors such as the poor firepower sustainability of the light machine gun, it only plays a support role.

    In terms of strength comparison, the firepower of the squads of the National Army's German Armsmen can be said to be slightly inferior.  There are 12 people in the German armorer class. One Czech light machine gun is equipped with 2 shooters. 10 people including the squad leader are equipped with medium and formal rifles. The light machine gun can be said to be the support firepower of the infantry class rather than the main firepower.

    The main firepower of the German armorer class is rifles, and it is not equipped with submachine guns, but is equipped with a larger number of submachine pistols.

    This does not mean that the National Army does not have real field artillery. The National Army has artillery, but it is not allocated to the 71st Army, but to Hu Zongnan.

    As a result, during the Battle of Luoshan, Hu Zongnan arranged his artillery units on both sides of the highway like the word "non".  Even after firing a few shots, it was blown up into a pile of scrap metal by Japanese planes.

    Although Hu Zongnan was from the same school as him and was deeply respected by the chairman of the committee, he often made ridiculously stupid mistakes.

    When the battle reached this point, Song Xilian was both pleased and worried. He was gratified that his 36th Division was fighting well, but he was worried that if reinforcements still failed to arrive on the battlefield, the 36th Division might become history.

    In fact, Song Xilian was not the only one who was worried that the 36th Division would be defeated. On the position of the Second Group Army of the Third Corps, the commander-in-chief of the Corps, Sun Lianzhong, was also very worried.

    On the position of the 2nd Group Army, Lieutenant General Sun Lianzhong, commander-in-chief of the Corps, held a telescope and observed the smoke-filled Fujinshan position.

    Sun Lianzhong, who has been in battle for a long time, felt the strong smell of gunpowder in Fujin Mountain through one detail. A few days ago, there were two small temples and dozens of big trees standing on the top of the mountain.

    But eyesNext, the top of the mountain was completely empty, with not even a wooden pile left.

    And there was a considerable gap between the height of the Fujin Mountain position and the peaks behind it before. Now the height seems to be lower. He knows that ordinary battles will not have this effect. This shows how fierce the battles have been in the past few days.

    In view of this, Sun Lianzhong dialed the number of the 71st Army Military Headquarters!

    The call was quickly connected, and Song Xilian's hoarse voice came: "Hello, Commander-in-Chief, I am Song Xilian!"

    Sun Lianzhong immediately said: "Commander Song, can you hold on?"

    Song Xilian thought for a while and said: "Commander-in-Chief, although this battle is difficult, we can still hold on. How is the situation in the mall? How many more days do we have to defend at least?"

    "At least three days. The situation in the mall is not good enough. It will take at least three more days to stabilize." Sun Lianzhong said.

    "Commander-in-Chief, you are putting me, Song Xilian, on the fire. The 36th Division is almost wiped out now, and the other divisions have suffered considerable losses. I am afraid that the 36th Division will be completely destroyed in three days!" Song Xilian said!  .

    "Hey! Brother Song, you are a tough guy. It's not easy to hold on for seven or eight days. Just now, Commander Bai called, and the war zone commended Chen Shizhi for his extraordinary achievements. I hope you can hold on for a few more days, and then withdraw after the friendly forces have established a firm foothold behind you.  .¡±

    "Commander, don't worry, Xi Lian will do his best, but our reinforcements are there, doesn't it mean they have already set off?" Song Xi Lian is still thinking about their reinforcements until now.

    Sun Lianzhong smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, the Corps Headquarters does not know the current location of Li Guoyao's troops. According to the plan, they should have arrived at Fujin Mountain yesterday, but they have not seen anyone until now."

    "Has the Corps Headquarters contacted them?"

    "How come there is no contact, but the other party's radio station has been in a state of radio silence and cannot be contacted at all!"

    "Radio silence? Are they still on the march? Is something delayed?"

    Song Xilian still recognized Li Guoyao very much. When he was in Nanjing, Li Guoyao turned the tide as a mere major general and brigade commander. His courage in commanding more than 100,000 troops in Nanjing City in the name of Nanjing Garrison Headquarters can be seen  This person is very responsible.

    Since Li Guoyao's troops were ordered to go north to reinforce them, they would not give up halfway, let alone escape before the battle.

    Sun Lianzhong was silent for a while on the other end of the phone and said: "According to the judgment of the theater commander's department and the corps headquarters, Li Guoyao's unit is probably lost!"

    "get lost?"

    This reason left Song Xilian dumbfounded. She really didn¡¯t know what to say. She only had a look of shock on her face!

    "You also know the terrain of the Dabie Mountains. There are thousands of ravines. It is difficult for people who are not familiar with the terrain to get out. And the map of the Military Commission is full of mistakes. If Li Guoyao's troops really marched according to the map given by the Military Commission,  , it is very likely that you will get lost!" Sun Lianzhong said.

    "If that's the case, then they are in danger. There are Japs soldiers everywhere around the Dabie Mountains. If they get lost, they may be surrounded by Japs!" Song Xilian said worriedly.

    "Well, but there's nothing we can do. We can't contact them, so we can only wait!"

    Song Xilian sighed and said, "So, now we can only rely on ourselves?"

    "Well, it's only three days. No matter what the result is after three days, you can withdraw!" Sun Lianzhong said.

    "Okay, let's keep it for three more days!"
