my bright sword career

Chapter 513 Chapter 510 Four Construction Works
The intrusive torrential rain put both warring parties in an awkward situation.

As the defender, the trenches just dug by the Japanese army were now filled with stagnant water, and the accumulated rainwater could even allow people to swim.

As the attackers, the Liantai militia and the 129th Division were also scratching their heads. Their original idea was to use artillery to fire incendiary bombs to burn up the Japanese positions, and then use the collected ships to transport troops across the river.

But when the torrential rain came, it would only be a joke to fire the incendiary bombs according to the plan. When the three people in the headquarters were at a loss, Gao Hongming came up with another way.

The heavy rain poured down the sky like a big opening in the Milky Way. The bean-sized raindrops hit people's bodies very painfully, and the density was so dense that people could not even see the silhouettes of people ten meters away.From time to time, lightning pierced the air, and the crackling sound of raindrops hitting the ground was everywhere in the sky and the earth.

And in such weather, dozens of strangely shaped vehicles were gathering on the south bank of the Weihe River, and a truck with a long strip on its head was retreating cautiously.

The truck driver stuck his head out of the car window to observe the situation behind while driving the vehicle backwards. A soldier holding a small red flag was blowing his whistle vigorously while observing the condition of the vehicle.

"Beep...beep beep..."

"Beep beep beep..."

Under the command of the whistle, the truck backed up to the river bank little by little, and with a burst of hasty whistle, the vehicle stopped, and then the carriage began to lift slowly, and the strip-shaped objects that were originally loaded with the vehicle began to move one by one. sprinkled on the river.

"Come on..."

With the order of the commander, the soldiers of the pontoon company who had been waiting around for a long time rushed forward. They either used hammers or long poles to return the sections of the pontoon bridge to their respective positions, and then connected the various card slots. It is connected with a thick steel nail.

In less than 10 minutes, a 30-meter-long and [-]-[-]-meter-wide pontoon bridge was connected, and then another pontoon vehicle drove onto the pontoon bridge and began to repeat the previous operation...

"Baga... This damn heavy rain came at such an inopportune time."

On the high ground on the north bank of the Weihe River, in a temporarily dug bunker, Fukuda Huanzhongzuo, commander of the 6rd Regiment of the 23th Division, sat on the shell box with a sad expression on his face.

At this moment, near him, there are tents that are swaying in the wind and rain everywhere, and these tents are full of soldiers, but there are more around because the soldiers who have not been allocated tents can only wrap in a raincoat Shivering in the storm.

He couldn't help but not be angry.

The heavy rain soaked the trenches that the 23rd Regiment had spent several days digging in the rain, and even soaked most of the ammunition that was not much in the first place. This is what made Futian Huan most angry.

"Your Excellency, Captain, you haven't eaten for a day, you should drink some porridge to warm your stomach." At this time, the orderly on the side carefully brought an aluminum lunch box, which contained a small amount of steaming gruel and a little pickle.

Futian Huan took the lunch box and drank a couple of mouthfuls. After eating the hot porridge, Futian Huan's complexion improved a bit.

He said to the orderly: "Xiao Ye, don't cook porridge for me these days. I'll have dinner with the soldiers."

The orderly sighed twice, lowered his head and said: "Your Excellency, the regiment captain, the regiment's food is running out now, just now the chief of staff has ordered all soldiers to halve the daily diet, and also sent a search team to collect food nearby. grain."

"Requisition?"

Futian Huan was stunned, "Is the food shortage of our alliance already so severe? Why didn't you report such an important matter to me?"

"I didn't let them report it." A voice sounded from the side.

Immediately afterwards, a figure in a raincoat quickly walked into the bunker. It was Masataro Abe, the chief of staff of the 23rd Regiment.

Looking at Abe Masataro who was almost drowned, Fukuda Tsunade swallowed back his words of cursing, and then suppressed his anger and whispered: "Abe-kun, why didn't you report such an important matter to me? Do you know how serious the consequences will be if you run out of food?"

"Of course I know."

Faced with the captain's anger, Masataro Abe didn't show any panic expression, his rain-stained face looked extraordinarily gloomy from bright to dark in the torrential rain mixed with lightning.

"I just came from the division headquarters and reported from the rear that due to the orderly bombing of China's planes, our food transport team was destroyed several times. In order to prevent the morale of the army from being shaken, the division commander ordered to block the news. The report from the regiment headquarters has not had time to report to you."

"idiot……"

Looking at the chief of staff who reported to him sternly, Futian Huan's hand holding the command knife was bruised from exertion.

As the very old Chief of Staff of the 23rd Wing, according to the usual practice, after the previous Wing Captain was transferred, he should take over as the Wing Captain.

But Masataro Abe was naturally dissatisfied when he was cut off by himself. During the half a year after he took office, relying on someone behind him, he kept doing all kinds of small tricks, but he did it very covertly. I can't tell the pain.

Not to mention anything else, just take yourself as an example.

Generally speaking, the rank of the captain of the regiment is Dazuo, but after he took over the position of the captain of the 23rd regiment, his rank was not promoted by one level according to the usual practice. Instead, he was only the rank of Lieutenant General like Masataro Abe, the chief of staff. This is undoubtedly in the view of Fukuda Kan It is a kind of humiliation to oneself.

He took a deep breath: "Mr. Anbe, I heard that you sent people out to collect food early in the morning. Did you get any results?"

"No."

Masataro Abe shook his head, "The people around here have already run away, and the two squadrons I sent out have nothing to gain. It seems that the soldiers can only go out to pick wild vegetables to tide over this difficulty temporarily."

"you……"

It is a shame that the standing division of the mighty Japanese Empire has been reduced to the point where they have to eat wild vegetables without Fukuda Huanqi.

He sneered, "Mr. Anbe, don't worry about the lack of food, I will take care of it.

In view of the fact that the Chinese people are likely to take advantage of the heavy rain to launch a sneak attack on us, now I want to give you a task. You immediately lead a squadron to guard the north bank of the Weihe River and build corresponding fortifications. Make sure that the Chinese people do not take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack , can you do it? "

"I……"

Abe Masataro was also furious when he heard this. He is a dignified chief of staff who took a squadron to the shore to build fortifications. Isn't this playing him?
Even if he was beaten to death, he didn't believe that the Chinese people could still fight in such a storm. Isn't this a joke?
It's just that when he was about to refuse, seeing the flash of killing intent in Futian Huan's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, took a deep breath, lowered his head and said something.

"Hi!"
