War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 522 If he bows his head, what will you give in exchange? (Thanks to the reward from 'book friends'!)

"Battalion Commander, isn't this the tactic that the 688th Regiment used to defeat the Japanese headquarters at Tuanchengkou? How did Deputy Brigade Commander You learn it?"

Mancangzi was still trying to explain: "Who cares whose tactics they are or what they are? As long as they work, we should learn them!"

But when he turned around, he saw that his men were busy dismantling the guns, and only this guy stayed beside him, using the excuse of discussing tactics to avoid work. He immediately asked, "At the moment, based on the top of the mountain where the new regiment is located, what are the firing parameters?"

This is the artillery camp. The soldiers in the artillery camp do things that are different from ordinary soldiers. This place not only breeds treacherous and lazy people, but also greedy and cunning people!
But if you want to avoid working and let the cannon nourish you, you must have the ability to do mental arithmetic. When people report the position and distance, no matter whether you use direct calculation, inverse calculation, or triangle side length calculation, you must be able to report the data immediately. As long as you can do this, let alone not working, even if you lie down when others are training, everyone in the warehouse will not say a word to you, because you are a master. After all, this stuff depends entirely on talent and cannot be trained.

"battalion commander."

He only glanced at Mancangzi with an innocent look, and Manguangzhi immediately widened his eyes and asked the second question: "What is the position of the index finger of your left hand?" (The calculation of the position and the ruler is explained in the previous article, around Chapter 76/77)
"What?" The artillerymen were confused. Could secret positions be used on fingers?
Man Guangzhi raised his leg and kicked him: "Go back and work! You shameless bastard, you just watch people work? You will be carrying a gun carriage wheel up the mountain by yourself later, get out!"

Hahahahaha!
The people around were laughing!

In fact, ordinary soldiers also hate this kind of sneaky and slippery people, but in the artillery camp, there are some sneaky and slippery people you just can't deal with, such as Feng Yaohe who squatted beside the battalion commander and smoked with his helmet on his cigarette butt.
That kid is the treasure in the eyes of the battalion commander. Not only does he know the secret position of each of his fingers, but he can also use his fingers and the explosion point after the artillery sound falls to measure the distance.

Of course, the people in the artillery battalion are convinced that they can do whatever they want. After all, they graduated from the artillery department of the Whampoa Military Academy and on their way to visit their relatives in northern Shaanxi, they discovered the artillery of the 217th Regiment in the barracks and were attracted by these artillery and walked in to become soldiers of the 217th.

This man was originally from Tianzhu, Guizhou. He was attracted to the military camp by artillery and his fascination with French towed guns led him to develop a connection with 217.

This thing is rare in our country. Even though this kid has seen it in the textbooks of the Whampoa Military Academy, he has never seen the real thing. Who would have thought that he would see it in northern Shaanxi?

When Man Guangzhi recruited this kid, he only asked two questions. The first question was asked when he saw the guy's delighted expression at having touched the God of Artillery: "What is the vertical range of the French towed gun M1897?"

When the other party heard that he had met an expert, he responded with a sneer on the spot: "-11° to 20°." He thought that this soldier was testing him.

"Shooting range?"

"." From then on, there was no need for Mancangzi to ask any more questions. He just said directly: "The gun uses a hydraulic recoil and return mechanism, which can absorb the recoil when the gun is firing, making the artillery fire more accurate." When he reported these things, they came out of his mouth!

Just with these few words, Mancangzi accepted Feng Yaohe on the spot. But he refused to accept the job. He looked down on our army and thought it was poor. He kept shaking his head.

How could Mancangzi let the person he likes run away?

He led the man into the ammunition depot without fear of leaking the secret.
The 217th was so wealthy at that time. Feng Yaohe looked at the full warehouse of ammunition boxes and listened to Man Guangzhi's devilish voice beside him: "You want to go to the National Government, right? I've been there before. If you don't have anyone above you, you can't get ahead at all. If you fall into the hands of the ragtag army, your life will be ruined. Your skills will be wasted."

"It's completely different here. We're artillerymen in the ace regiment. We fight tough battles, get paid a lot, and do long-range shooting. We don't have to take the initiative to meet the enemy. It's all about having fun without risking our lives."

But Feng Yaohe still doesn’t believe it!

"Just you?"

Mancangzi immediately replied: "I'm short of one month's military pay for you. If you turn around and leave, I won't stop you. I also guarantee that you won't get this military pay even if you go to the government!"

The artillerymen of 217 receive the highest military pay in the entire regiment, and the soldiers of 217 receive the highest military pay in the entire active Chinese army. Xu Chaoyang has always been willing to invest in these people.

It was under such circumstances that Feng Yaohe stayed in the 217th Regiment and became the only Guizhou artilleryman in the entire regiment.

But he didn't know that if he didn't stay in 217, he would participate in the bloody battle of Mangshan a few years later, and kill the Japanese officer with one shot, separating his head from his body. As the deputy battalion commander of the artillery battalion, he was as famous as many famous artillerymen during the Anti-Japanese War, such as Luo Xibiao and Fang Shuhong. After becoming a member of our army, he performed the feat of dragging a cannon to chase the enemy.
Of course, he didn't know that after following Mancangzi, his reputation would be elevated to a higher level than in history, and he would become the artillery god under the number 217, and his reputation would be comparable to that of Cai Zhongqian who had bombarded the Japanese Prince Fushimi!

At present, Feng Yaohe is just a cunning company commander in the artillery, and he is an acting one at that, because he has always been working under Mancangzi and has not yet demonstrated his full abilities.

"Report, all Type 92 infantry guns have been dismantled!"

"Move the guns!"

boom! boom! boom!
Da da da da da da!
“Gee, gee!”

When the entire artillery battalion was fighting fiercely on the hill ahead, they unloaded the disassembled Type 92 infantry gun from the car, modified it into a mule cart, and drove the mule cart into the mountain, regardless of the continuous sound of gunfire overhead, without fear.

"report!"

Outside the blockade, at the edge of Ruyuekou, Yang Jingyu had just arrived with his troops when a scout from the 688th Regiment's reconnaissance company rushed over and said, "Director Yang, our troops have cleared the Second Beam and the First Beam. Please follow the Second Beam and enter Ruyuekou."

Da da da da da da!

The sound of gunfire came at this moment. Yang Jingyu immediately raised his head, looked in the direction of Tiejialing, and asked, "What's going on?" "Director Yang, our regiment commander said that the more intense the fighting here, the faster we can draw out the reinforcements from Ruyuekou, so that your unit will have a higher chance of success in taking Ruyuekou. So after opening up the Erdaoliang and the Toudaoliang, our 688th Regiment began to blatantly attack Tiejialing. Director Yang, don't worry, there are not many people on Tiejialing, we can handle it."

"Now, I will take you to Erdaoliang, and then follow the edge of Erdaoliang, go behind the Japanese blockade and climb over the mountain to Ruyuekou."

Yang Jingyu understood Han Xianchu’s good intentions!

boom! boom! boom!
When the sound of continuous firing of semi-automatic rifles was heard, Yang Jingyu, the scout, and Han Xianchu who was now in the mountain looked towards the edge of the blockade line, which was the position where Xu Chaoyang and his men planned to block the support of the Japanese army in Fanzhisi. For a moment, several people laughed in tacit understanding at the same time.

While Han Xianchu was considering Yang Jingyu, Xu Chaoyang was also considering Han Xianchu, but these two people were ultimately considering Yang Jingyu. They were both using their own ways to disperse each other's pressure so as to leave Yang Jingyu a safe passage to Ru Yuekou, even if it meant taking on some danger themselves.

"You bastard." Yang Jingyu cursed with a smile: "Who the hell are you looking down on?"

He turned back and looked behind him: "Are you convinced?"

The 217th soldier was very good at picking fights. He immediately said, "I don't accept it!"

"Okay! If you don't agree, then show us how to do it. We in 217 don't talk nonsense!"

"Set off!!!"

The battle on the Ruyuekou front line is about to begin!

Yan'an.

Historically, Wei Lihuang arrived in Yan'an to visit the injured commander of the 115th Division in the context of the joint war of resistance. However, he did not bring any condolence money with him. He took out the money from several people's pockets outside the ward and only then did he get some money together. Unexpectedly, after entering the ward, the commander of the 115th Division extorted him for one million rounds of bullets.

But this is not history, and the commander of the 115th Division was not injured. When Wei Lihuang arrived in Yan'an on behalf of the National Government, he met someone who would allow him to brag about his whole life, even though the two had only had one face-to-face confrontation in this time and space!
"Welcome, welcome!"

At this moment, he still had his hair parted, not slicked back. Under the light in the cave, he held Wei Lihuang's hand and said enthusiastically, "Welcome Commander Wei to come and inspect our work in person."

He was smiling and saying the most polite words, but you could clearly feel from him that no matter who you were, he was superior to you within a reasonable range. It was magical.

"Mr. Ziren, have you heard that I will soon become the enemy-front commander of Xinkou in the Second War Zone?"

Wei Lihuang straightened his back when shaking hands with him. Shaking hands in this posture would make his body appear to be leaning slightly backward. At this stage, he, who had once surrounded and suppressed the opponent, was still in a "superior" position. However, this was a completely different scene from the historical time and space, but it happened quietly due to Xu Chaoyang's accidental interference.

"Of course I've heard about it (liao three times), this is a national responsibility."

"I wonder if Commander Wei has heard about the wonderful battle we fought at Tuanchengkou?"

The two men loosened their hands, and he leaned forward slightly as he spoke. He looked friendly but also had a subtle sense of oppression. Wei Lihuang leaned back slightly, and although he looked very cool, his movements showed that he was trying to avoid her, even if he didn't realize it.

Behind him stood Wood and the boss. One of them had a stern expression while the other was very domineering. They were dealing with Wei Lihuang's aura in two different ways.

"heard"

How could he not have heard of it? That's called encircling and annihilating a brigade!
Wei Lihuang had already thought about how to answer, for example, he would talk about how many Japanese invaders SH had killed, at least he would not destroy his prestige.
Can.
"Then don't slander that young comrade Xu Chaoyang." He smiled and turned his head to look at the boss. The boss's mouth curved downward at an angle that showed a dark moon, as if responding to his gaze: "My 217th Brigade has always been at the forefront and actively resisted the Japanese, but you slandered this group of people as deserters. Why?"

"It's fine to call us red bandits, but we have already formed a united front. If you continue to do this, it will make everyone feel uncomfortable."

He turned around, and Wood picked up the oil lamp from behind him and shone it on the map. He pointed at Ru Yuekou and said, "Now our 217th Brigade is actively fighting for the country's territory that has fallen into the hands of the enemy, using blood to exchange for our dignity. Why do you continue to do this?"

"Do you really think Xu Chaoyang is a submissive Yue Fei?"

"Aren't you afraid that such an ace force with extremely rich experience in fighting against Japan will be forced to become Wu Sangui?"

"Commander-in-Chief Wei, we can shed our blood without asking for anything in return, but it is right for us to ask the government to rectify our reputation, right?"

At this moment, he is not yet a great man in Wei Lihuang's eyes, and he doesn't even know how much he would have to pay if a great man showed weakness!
