Chapter 861: The Principal's Phone
On the afternoon of the 11th, Leng Feng unexpectedly received a call from Jiang Jiang from Zhengzhou. The telephone line between Zhengzhou and Xinxiang had already been cut off by the Japanese.
Although Leng Feng immediately thought of restoring communications between Zhengzhou and Xinxiang after taking over Xinxiang, it took time to repair it, coupled with this efficiency problem.
The route in Xinxiang was opened soon, but when I arrived in Zhengzhou, I didn’t know if it was intentional to make a dilemma. Anyway, I just didn’t want to connect the route there.
Leng Feng also knew that someone secretly stumbling, so he said something. Anyway, he had nothing to say with those people, and if it didn't work, it wouldn't work.
If you have something to do, the same is true for us to contact us on the radio.
The phone suddenly came through, Leng Feng felt strange. When he heard that it was Lao Jiang who called from Zhengzhou, he understood that the phone line was finally connected.
If Chiang Kai-shek hadn't arrived in Zhengzhou, he probably wouldn't know when the telephone line would be connected.
Of course, some people must have taken the blame. Not long after, I heard that the director of the Zhengzhou Telephone Bureau was dismissed and investigated. I heard that there were still many evidences of bribery and bribery, but I was not killed, but my career in this life was over.
This matter has some connection with Dai Yunong, and it is considered a favor for Leng Feng.
"Principal!" As a student in Huangpu, Leng Feng naturally respected the call "Principal". This is not something that ordinary people can call, at least it is the general who has the eyes that he has to have this qualification.
"Guoguang, you played well in northern Henan. I am very pleased. It would be great if my students could share my worries like you." Old Jiang, who had a Mandarin accent in Fenghua, Zhejiang, could hear a hint of fatigue and helplessness in the voice.
"The principal praised the students, and the soldiers should have the responsibility to protect their homeland."
"You can think so enough to show that you are a real soldier. I have very high expectations for you. I will give you a heavier burden in the future. I hope you will work harder."
"Students will never let the principal down!"
"Guoguang, what do you think of the current situation of Guide?" After the show was over, it was time to get to the point. If Chiang Kai-shek didn't mention it, Leng Feng would also say it, which is in line with his "worrying about the country and the people".
"The students can only say that a pot of good rice was finally cooked into raw rice, and they couldn't swallow it, and they couldn't bear to vomit it out."
"Your metaphor is very vivid." Old Jiang couldn't help but nodded. Isn't it? Guide's current situation is not a pot of raw rice?
If you don’t fight, you will give up the opportunity to annihilate the Dohihara Division in vain. Fight, you will not be able to take it down for a while, and the Japanese army will advance step by step, leaving little time for GJ.
"At present, the First Corps lacks its attack power. Do you think there is any solution?"
Leng Feng understood as soon as he heard this. It was rare that Jiang Jiang could call him in this way. He could directly order the New First Army heavy artillery brigade to support the First Corps in East Henan.
But he didn't do this. Why aren't this heavy artillery brigade does not exist in the establishment of the Military Commission? Everyone knows that he has accumulated such a unit under his command, but there is no official number, only a heavy artillery regiment.
But if we just transfer a heavy artillery regiment to the ground, it will not play much role. As for the armored brigade, these attacking forces must be transferred.
If Leng Feng pretends to be deaf and dumb and disobeys him, there is no way to deal with him.
"Principal, our New First Army has two artillery regiments and an armored unit in western Shandong. A few days ago, they raided the main force of the 14th Japanese Division who was approaching Guide in the command system of Luo Yufeng, the commander of the new 38th Division. The troops were resting in the area of Cao County. If Chief Xue could use it, I could order them to cooperate with our army's attack on Guide."
"Oh, who are the commanders of your two artillery regiments?"
"Xie Zaoshi, the battalion commander of the former teaching corps directly under the heavy artillery battalion."
"Okay, Guoguang, I'm very pleased that you can understand the general situation so well."
"Students are cultivated by the Party and the country and supported by the principal. How dare they forget their roots?" Leng Feng said respectfully.
"By the way, Guoguang, there is another thing. I heard that your troops have developed a secret weapon that can deal with Japanese tanks. It is as simple as cutting melons and vegetables. With such a powerful weapon, why didn't you report to the upper hand?" asked Lao Jiang.
"This is the student's negligence. There is indeed such a weapon. It was made by the student randomly and has not yet been formed, so it has not been reported. It has not met the actual combat standards. I was anxious and it was obvious that they had used it. Many problems were not solved. It was just an immature weapon. I didn't expect the principal to know it."
"So that's the case. Xue Boling told me that I still don't believe it. You, Leng Guoguang, are my most trusted student. How could you not report such a powerful weapon to kill the enemy?" Old Jiang pretended to be angry.
"Principal, the students want to wait until the problem is solved and then report it after improvement. After all, this new weapon can hurt the enemy and yourself. If it cannot be improved, it may not play a great role." Leng Feng explained.
"Can you still hurt yourself?"
"This weapon is difficult to operate, with strong recoil and prone to accidents. We have injured several people." Leng Feng said half-true.
"I understand, that 17th Cannon Regiment is still with you, right?"
"Report to the principal, I'm here."
"In this way, the 17th Artillery Regiment came out of the 6th Artillery Brigade directly under the Military Commission and was placed under your New First Army. Together with the two artillery regiments under your command, you can form an independent heavy artillery brigade. You can draw one by yourself and report it to the Military Commission for filing. What do you think?"
"Students listen to the principal, but there are people in the 17th Cannon Regiment now that there are no cannons..."
"This time, from the Soviet-Russian aid artillery, you will be given a regiment of equipment, and you will send someone to Lanzhou to receive the equipment later." Although he gave a regiment of artillery, Lao Jiang was still very happy. At least, he could not get a heavy artillery brigade for Xue Boling now.
All the GJ troops in the First and Fifth War Zones only Leng Feng has a heavy howitzer with a caliber of 15o mm. In addition, there is an armored brigade comparable to the Japanese army.
To be honest, Leng Feng really doesn't like Su Yuan's 115mm caliber howitzer. Not only is it bulky and has a range of less than five kilometers, but it is not as good as the Liao Type 14 imitation of Japanese howitzer equipped by the 17th Armor Regiment before.
He wanted to refuse. If the master cannon was brought back, he wouldn't know where to equip it with mules and horses. One cannon would require at least eight horses to pull.
But don’t, don’t want it for free, you don’t want it for free, and next time they have a reason not to give it to you.
"Students thank the principal!"
No, this gun is really bad. The things left by Tsarist Russia must find ways to replace them with something else. This batch of 115-caliber howitzers of the M189o model assisted were aided in total. According to the nature of the national army, at least three artillery regiments were equipped, and eight were left as supplementary.
Leng Feng's artillery regiments started with thirty-six, twenty-four were too few, and there were 80,000 shells. That is to say, one cannon only has one thousand shells. If it is fired, it will probably be gone. The 115-caliber howitzer is not common to the mainstream howitzer shells in the world.
There is no way. At this time, the Soviet Union is willing to provide military assistance in the whole world. The weapons are a little bad, almost so much better than nothing. After all, that is a weapon, not a fire stick.
You have to jump if you don’t jump in this pit, and you can jump even if you jump, unless you surrender to Japan directly.
With a conscience, the Soviet Union did not completely cheat China. At least the Soviet-made weapons helped the Chinese people very much in the early days of the War of Resistance. In the most dangerous four years, if there were no Soviet aid, what would the Chinese team J use to fight against the Japanese army?
But they did provide some more pitiful weapons, such as the 115 howitzer of the m189o type. In other aspects, light weapons are fine, Mosinnagan rifle, 7.62 Maxim water-cooled machine gun, dp turntable machine gun, anti-aircraft gun, 37mm anti-tank gun, T-26 tank (also a pit), Yi-15/16 (the two models of aircraft are not bad, but the Soviet aviation technology is too poor), medium and long-range bombers (also a slag), 76mm field gun (the old model of World War I, the performance can be imagined, and it will be sent to China after renovation).
However, these weapons are cheap, at least 20% cheaper than the weapons on the market, but the performance is really terrible. Leng Feng is not very interested in Su Yuan's weapons. What he wants is the production lines and technologies for manufacturing weapons, which are not easy to obtain, especially from countries such as Europe and the United States.
Although Germany can get some, it is hard to say whether Japan and Germany can get some alliances.
Lao Jiang gave a date, which looked bright and full, but when he ate it, he had a slight bitterness. Leng Feng was really reluctant.
Lao Jiang also felt that it was a bit painful to pull out a regiment of equipment, but when he thought that it was his own troops. It would be better to give Leng Feng than to those useless guys.
If he knew that Leng Feng was not interested in these equipment, he might be so angry that he would give him two big ears on the spot.
Leng Feng also figured it out. Everything in this world is perfect. Besides, the 17th Artillery Regiment was officially allocated to the New First Army. He made a waste of a cannon. This was something he could not buy with money. At worst, he could bring back the cannons for training!
Chiang Kai-shek was also a decisive person. He had just spoken with Leng Feng and immediately called Xue Boling on the front line, transferred the New First Army Heavy Artillery Brigade and Armored Brigade to command the Eastern Henan Corps. He also said that the commanders of the two troops were directly under the command of the corps, and only listened to Xue Boling.
When Xue Boling heard this, he was very happy. The progress in the past two days was not going smoothly. In addition to the Japanese planes showing off their power in the sky all day long, it was actually the power of Japanese artillery and tanks on the ground. The 100,000 gjs that besieged Guide were all flesh and blood, so they were not the opponent of the Japanese army.
To say that bullets killed and injured the National Army, only a small part of them died in the Japanese artillery bombardment, especially large-caliber shells.
The Doihara Division itself has an independent 8th field heavy artillery revolver, and coupled with five artillery revolvers of various types, the 14th Japanese Army actually has 6 artillery regiments to fight, with a large number of heavy artillery 15o mm heavy howitzers, 1o5 mm long-range field cannons and other heavy artillery.
The heavy artillery power of the 14th Division of the Japanese army has exceeded 180,000 yuan of heavy artillery power of the Chinese army, and the artillery is more advanced. Even though the Japanese army lost a lot of strength before this, the heavy artillery power that Dohihara has in his hands is still higher than the heavy artillery power of the East Henan First Corps, especially the heavy artillery power.
No matter how powerful Xue Boling is, this huge gap in power cannot be compensated.
