Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Meishan Zhangquankeng

"Second Captain, how are things going over here?"

Gao Xuan saw the person coming

He said in surprise: "Chief of Staff, why are you here?"

The person who came was Lu Zhiguo, the chief of staff of the Meishan Independent Detachment.

Lu Zhiguo looked at the layout of the position and said, "Let me take a look."

Gao Xuan said with a smile: "Chief of Staff, are you still worried about me, Lao Gao?"

"As long as I, Lao Gao, am here, I will never let an enemy pass."

Lu Zhiguo also said with a smile: "You are the only one in the whole team who likes to brag."

"Okay, let's get down to business."

"The captain asked me to come over and deliver an order."

Gao Xuan immediately became serious when he heard this: "Chief of Staff, what do you say?"

Lu Zhiguo said without further ado: "The enemy doesn't have many heavy weapons now and dares not enter the heart of Meishan."

"They are trying to block our advance southwards to support the Southwest Fujian Military Sub-district."

"The captain asked us to take the initiative and disrupt the enemy's rhythm."

Gao Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Taking the initiative to attack means fighting head-on. If we fight head-on, we will suffer heavy losses."

Lu Zhiguo shook his head and explained: "It's not a hard fight."

"The enemies in front of us belong to the 36th and 45th Divisions respectively."

"The captain means that we are only dealing with the 45th Division."

"It's best to hit hard"

Gao Xuan didn't think much about it and asked directly: "Chief of Staff, what should we do specifically?"

The Chief of Staff said: "The Captain asked you to take a company of infantry and your regiment's direct artillery company to actively harass the Nationalist Army."

"Remember to attack and harass the 36th Division"

Gao Xuan didn't understand that the Chief of Staff had said that he wanted to severely damage the 45th Division.

Why are you harassing the 36th Division again?

But Gao Xuan heard that it was Li Yan's order, so he did not ask any more questions.

After discussing with the Chief of Staff

Gao Xuan brought an infantry company and a regimental artillery company

Walking towards the outskirts of Meishan

A brigade of the 36th Division of the National Army and two regiments of the 45th Division of Liancheng

They are all stationed at the foot of Bijia Mountain

Gao Xuan saw the fortifications gradually taking shape

I couldn't help but curse: "Fuck it!"

"These nationalist troops drove us out of Pengkou Town"

"And we lost a company"

"See how I'm going to take revenge today."

The artillery company commander brought by Gao Xuan asked, "Commander, what should we do?"

Gao Xuan got angry: "What else can I do?"

"Since our Second Regiment was established, we have never suffered such a big loss."

"According to the Chief of Staff, you will take the artillery company and beat up those sons of bitches in the 36th Division."

"Fire all the shells you brought."

"Retreat after the fight, retreat to the ambush point behind us"

“Wait for further instructions”

The artillery company commander was very excited when he heard Gao Xuan's order.

The artillery company only fired artillery every day when they first started training.

I don't know why, but it stopped afterwards.

Only when fighting can you fire a few rounds

Since the leader has let us go this time, why not have a good fight?

The artillery company commander stood in front of the four mortars and began to give a speech: "Comrades"

"Our leader is angry today"

"Let our artillery company give those sons of bitches from the 36th Division a good beating!"

"What do you think we should do?"

The soldiers below clenched their fists and their faces turned red.

Someone directly said: "Beat him up, son of a bitch!"

"Yes, beat that son of a bitch to vent the captain's anger."

The artillery company commander nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, these are the soldiers I brought out."

"Our regiment commander said that we have enough shells today, so we can make as many as we want."

“But I’ll be frank.”

"Today's battle must be fought beautifully, and the might of our Second Regiment's artillery company must be displayed."

"If anyone pretends to be a bear and can't fight well, I'll show you how I'll deal with him."

The artillery company commander gave a shout, and the soldiers in the artillery company all cried out.

Gao Xuan said dissatisfiedly: "What are these bastards from the artillery company yelling about?"

“Not afraid of being heard by the enemy”

The infantry company commander next to him smiled and said, "Commander, the artillery company hasn't fired artillery on the battlefield for a long time."

"How could they not be happy if you let them do it freely this time?"

"Besides, we are still some distance away from the enemy, and they can't hear us."

Gao Xuan shook his head: "Damn it, how come he's just like me?"

"Okay, tell them to attack quickly."

"I also want to avenge the enemy who drove me out of Pengkou Town."

"If we don't play well this time, the captain will challenge me again."

The infantry company commander suppressed his laughter and turned to send someone to notify the artillery company.
