Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

24 was incorporated into the 88th Regiment of the 524th Division, and the Japanese broke out

"Commander Sun actually agreed.

You are asked to be the battalion commander of the third battalion in the 524th Regiment.

My God, that’s the battalion commander of the 88th Division’s main regiment.”

Zhou Pingkou was also looking at Ye Qingshan at this time, somewhat shocked and feeling incredible.

Before, Zhou Pingkou thought Ye Qingshan’s ideas were a bit far-fetched.

Even if Ye Qingshan and his men have now completely wiped out two Japanese squadrons, they still need to move from being a staff officer at the division headquarters to becoming the battalion-level commander of a front-line combat unit.

It's not that easy either.

After all, there were many officers with the rank of major in the national army at that time.

However, less than one-tenth of the majors are capable of leading a main combat battalion on their own.

However, Zhou Pingkou did not want to attack Ye Qingshan, so he did not say it before.

But at this moment, Zhou Pingkou looked at the telegram sent personally from the 88th Division Headquarters.

Everything shows that Ye Qingshan has really achieved his goal.

He went directly from a major staff officer at the 88th Division headquarters to the commander of the third battalion of the main 524th Regiment.

"Why are you going to be the battalion commander of the 524th Regiment?

I want a new designation, for example, the battalion commander of the division headquarters guard battalion would be fine.

He also asked me to go to Xiaoyaoshan position to support the 524th Regiment.

But I want to fight in a mobile way."

Ye Qingshan ignored it at all. At this time, Zhou Pingkou looked at him with strange eyes.

Still muttering with dissatisfaction.

Ye Qingshan was not pretending, he was really not satisfied with the result.

Among them, not giving a new number is not a big deal.

However, Ye Qingshan was asked to lead his team to support the 524th Regiment and help them defend the Xiaoyaoshan position.

Ye Qingshan was really dissatisfied with this.

He didn't want to fight a positional battle with the Japanese troops.

In this way, it would not be easy to make use of the information in his mind about the Japanese invaders in the Songhu battlefield.

However, now the orders from Commander Sun Yuanliang have been issued.

It won’t work if Ye Qingshan disobeys orders.

"Oh my goodness, Captain.

Do you know what you are talking about?

You also want a new unit number, any unit number for this main combat unit.

Can anyone give it casually?

Even Commander Sun does not have this power. That is the power of the command.

I already doubt whether Commander Sun can directly promote you to be the battalion commander of a main force regiment.

Are you the illegitimate son of Master Sun?"

Zhou Pingkou was standing nearby, and after hearing Ye Qingshan's muttering, he also said in disbelief.

He looks like a battalion commander who has gotten an advantage but is still acting like a good kid.

"that's true.

It’s not bad to be able to achieve this result.”

After hearing what Zhou Pingkou said, Ye Qingshan also laughed.

He seemed a little too unsatisfied, and the current result seemed to be already very good.

Ye Qingshan even suspected that the original owner had some relationship with Master Sun Yuanliang.

Ye Qingshan could feel this from the telegram, the care that the elders give to the younger ones.

"That's fine.

You call the teacher back and tell him.

I will report to the 524th Regiment and support them."

Ye Qingshan finally chose to accept the result.

“524th Regiment, I remember the -plus brave warriors who fought bloody battles at the Sihang Warehouse in Eight Hundred.

It seems to be from this group.

Is this God's will to arrange for me to join this group?"

Ye Qingshan suddenly thought of this, and immediately he had more ideas in his mind.

“If I were chosen to stay at the Sihang Warehouse in Zhabei in this life, I would be the commander of the troops fighting the Japanese invaders.

That's good.

By then, I will be able to inflict more damage to the Japanese.

And prevent the final tragedy from happening."

Ye Qingshan has always felt regretful about the final outcome of the isolated military camp in his previous life.

"Let's go, Captain Zhou.

Let’s go and see what the soldiers have captured in this battle.

By the way, let me announce this good news to the soldiers.

From today on, we are no longer a defeated army camp.

We are members of the 88th Division, the authentic main force ace unit."

Ye Qingshan was in a good mood and said to Zhou Pingkou with a smile,

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the soldiers had already gathered together all the weapons and ammunition collected from the battlefield.

At this time, Lu Dahai and a group of people were arguing over the captured Type 92 infantry gun.

"You're talking nonsense. I've seen the Japanese infantry artillery before, and that's how they use it."

"No."

"Why not? If not, how do you use it?"

At this time, Zheng Quezi and others were arguing fiercely.

"battalion commander."

When they saw Ye Qingshan coming, they all stood at attention and shouted.

After this battle, Ye Qingshan clearly felt that Zheng Quezi and other unruly old soldiers became much more respectful to him.

Ye Qingshan knew that this would be the result.

The method to tame such a rebellious veteran is actually very simple.

If he just shows his real ability, leads them to win battles, and kills more enemy soldiers, they will naturally obey Ye Qingshan.

"We are discussing how to use this infantry gun.

Is there no one among you who has ever served in the artillery?"

Ye Qingshan looked at them and asked.

The crowd shook their heads.

"Battalion Commander, you didn't know the situation of our ragtag army before.

An entire regiment could not even muster a single cannon.

Not to mention the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun, I had only heard of it before.

Today is the first time I’ve stood so close.

Moreover, most of us are uneducated and can barely read a single word.

How can you play this thing? "

Lu Dahai said with a wry smile.

They wanted to play with cannons, but unfortunately the conditions did not allow it.

"Hey."

Ye Qingshan also sighed.

The veterans under him are indeed capable of decent individual combat.

However, the technical arms in the team, such as artillery, are seriously insufficient.

Without artillery, even if they captured the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun, they could only watch it, which was no better than using a fire stick.

"It's okay, our company commander will take action."

Zheng Quezi stood aside and said.

"I've played with it before. Give me some time to get familiar with it. It should be usable."

Zhou Pingkou nodded slightly and said.

"fine.

When we got to the 524th Regiment, they had good artillery.

When the time comes, I will assign a few artillerymen for you to lead, and you will be able to make full use of this Type 92 infantry gun."

"That's fine."

Zhou Pingkou nodded.

“The weapons we have now are all Japanese.

When we went to the 524th Regiment and I took over the Third Battalion, I didn't plan to let our soldiers replace their weapons with German ones.

Let them continue to use Japanese equipment.

At that time, you, as the instructor, will be needed to help the soldiers become familiar with these Japanese heavy weapons and equipment as quickly as possible.

Especially the Japanese grenade launchers and this Type 92 infantry gun, they will be our next important fire support weapons."

Ye Qingshan told Zhou Pingkou what he said.

"Captain, that's the case.

From now on, the supply of ammunition we need can only rely on those captured from the Japanese.

This will put a lot of pressure on our defense.

It was mainly defensive operations, not mobile operations like we are doing now.

You can look for opportunities to ambush the Japanese, and the probability of seizing their equipment is relatively high.

When we really arrived at the Xiaoyaoshan position, we fought a positional battle with the Japanese.

The ammunition consumption will be huge.”

Zhou Pingkou expressed his concerns.

"I know. Besides, who says we have to fight a positional war with the devils?

The task given to us by the division commander was to defend the position on the Xiaoyao Mountain front.

We just had to do it.

No matter how we fight, our generals will not obey orders from the outside.

By then, I will be able to get more weapons and ammunition from the devils."

Ye Qingshan said mysteriously.

“Besides, do you think the supply of weapons and ammunition for our 88th Division equipped with German weapons is smooth?

Not anymore.

The German-equipped division has strong firepower, but the ammunition has to be transported from the rear.

After the war broke out, the Japanese sent out bombers to continuously bomb the railway to Shanghai.

This has resulted in a very tight supply of weapons and ammunition for our frontline troops.

The German-equipped divisions consumed the most weapons and ammunition.

The problem of ammunition shortage has long existed.

Fortunately, many of the ammunition calibers used by the German weapons are similar to the calibers of our current weapons.

Otherwise it would be more troublesome.

More importantly, the division headquarters would not have any extra German equipment for us.

If we don’t use Japanese equipment, we will have to use Hanyang-made equipment again when we reach the front line.”

Ye Qingshan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Do you really think that the 88th Division has a lot of German equipment?

"Then listen to the battalion commander."

Zhou Pingkou thought about it and felt that what Ye Qingshan said made some sense, so he nodded.

"Captain, all the captured items have been counted.

In this battle, we wiped out an entire squadron of Japanese invaders and seized a Type 92 infantry gun, two heavy machine guns, and six Type light machine guns.

There are more than 120 Type 38 rifles and a number of bullets.

In addition, our army suffered more than fifty casualties.”

Old Tobacco Man excitedly took his small account book, found Ye Qingshan, and reported the results of the battle in detail.

"Haha not bad.

The weapons and equipment we bring back will be enough to equip a battalion."

Ye Qingshan was very satisfied.

"Battalion Commander, I just heard you say that we have been incorporated into the 88th Regiment of the 524th Division?"

At this time, Zheng Quezi also came over and asked in a mean voice.

"That's right,

From now on, all of you are members of the 88th Division."

"Damn it, I can become a direct descendant of the ace division one day?"

Zheng Quezi was a little surprised.

Everyone knows that the 88th Division is the principal’s favorite and the most loyal of the loyal.

They are all equipped with German weapons, and the expense of one division is as much as the expense of several armies of these ragtag armies.

This group of peasants suddenly transformed themselves into noble soldiers.

Zheng Quezi and his men had often insulted these direct lineage troops in private in the past, but deep down they were still envious of them.

And now, they have also become soldiers of the ace division.

"This is all thanks to the battalion commander."

“Battalion Commander, I heard that those direct line divisions also eat canned meat.

He is also wearing military boots and a new uniform, right?"

Daniu asked from the side.

"Well, almost."

"Well, then, aren't we already being treated as direct line teachers?

You see,

Since we followed the battalion commander, we have been eating canned meat and wearing military boots.

The only difference is that we snatched all of these from the Japanese ourselves.

In my opinion, ours is more authentic than those of the German-equipped direct descendants."

"That's right, I like what Zheng Quezi said."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from the south.

Ye Qingshan and others looked towards the south.

"It's the two regiments in the south that are surrounding the two squadrons of Japanese.

Such fierce gunfire and artillery sounds, either the Japanese are trying to break through, or the soldiers of our two regiments are launching a general attack. "

Zhou Pingkou said.

"Black Bear's reconnaissance squad has already made its way over.

There will be news soon.”

"battalion commander."

Sure enough, not long after, the black bear came back in a hurry.

"How's the situation in the south?"

Ye Qingshan asked.

"Battalion Commander, the two squadrons of Japanese soldiers trapped on the southern mountain have begun to break out.

They broke through the encirclement of our two regiments.

They are retreating towards us now."

Black Bear reported, panting.

"what?

Two regiments surrounded two squadrons of Japanese invaders. How could they allow them to break out?

Are these two groups all trash?"

Zheng Quezi shouted from the side.

“I heard that these two regiments were from the Sichuan Army, which were just brought in from the rear by train.

The command center couldn't find any other troops either.

The only thing they could do was to transfer these two Sichuan Army Corps troops over to block the infiltrating Japanese troops.

The soldiers of these two Sichuan Army Corps all wore straw sandals, and their weapons and equipment were not as good as our previous old sleeves and Hanyang-made ones.

Many soldiers didn't even have guns, and some were only given a grenade.

An entire battalion couldn’t even muster enough machine guns.

They besieged the Japanese for more than three hours, but failed to capture the hill occupied by the Japanese.

Instead, they suffered heavy losses.

The two squadrons of devils took the opportunity to counterattack, opened a gap in the encirclement, and killed their way out.

Black Bear continued.

"The Sichuan Army transferred from the rear?

That's right.

Some time ago, we also encountered two Sichuan Army troops, both of whom were tough guys.

It’s a pity that their weapons and equipment are really poor.

It would be really difficult for their two regiments to defeat these two Japanese squadrons.

Especially, based on our previous intelligence.

Among the two besieged Japanese squadrons, there was also a machine gun squadron.

Not to mention the Type 92 light machine guns, they must have at least six or more Type heavy machine guns.

They should also have a Type 92 infantry gun.

With such firepower, it’s not surprising that the Japs managed to break out.”

Zhou Pingkou said beside him.

“It seems that the commanders of the two trapped Japanese squadrons have also noticed that something is wrong.

The sound of gunfire on our side has been going on for so long.

They should have heard it too.

They probably thought that their plan had been exposed, so they chose to break out."

Ye Qingshan also guessed why the two squadrons of Japanese devils suddenly chose to break through.

"Captain, what should we do now?

Do you want to help these two Sichuan troops and eat up these two Japanese squadrons?"

Lu Dahai said eagerly,

This guy is full of confidence now.

"What do you think?"

Ye Qingshan asked everyone.

"Fight, of course we have to fight.

We have so many weapons in our hands now, how can we let these two little devils go?"

Lu Dahai was the first to agree to fight.

“You can fight, but you have to make arrangements in advance.

After all, these are two squadrons of Japanese devils, with heavy firepower.

We must fight quickly and decisively to catch the enemy off guard.

If the situation gets stalemate, we will suffer heavy casualties.”

Although Zhou Pingkou also agreed to fight, he obviously considered more.
