my bright sword career

Chapter 725 A Prophecy

Today, it is still rainy, and the whole ground is wet. When people walk on the wet ground, if they are not careful, the soles of their feet will slip and eat shit.

Wu Chengfeng did not encounter any obstacles in the process of taking over the command of the 599th regiment, but when he entered the position of commander, he realized that he seemed to be too happy.

A low and dilapidated street can no longer see its original appearance. It is full of potholes and bullet holes, and the remaining walls are full of bullet holes. A soldier in ragged clothes is lying on the remaining ruins and shooting at the Japanese army. , From time to time, grenades or mortar shells exploded around.

Seeing the miserable situation of the defenders, Wu Chengfeng's heart tightened.

As Chiang Kai-shek's direct lineage, the 599th Regiment has a fairly large establishment.

The whole regiment is a type A regiment with 3000 people. It has three infantry battalions, a light artillery battalion, a supply company, an engineering company, a cart transportation company, an unarmed supplementary battalion (to strengthen coolies during wartime) and a cavalry platoon. .

On the surface, it seems that there are quite a few people, but after several months of hard fighting and no replenishment, there are less than 599 people in the 1000th regiment who can still hold guns.

But even though he knew the current situation of the 599 regiment, when he really saw the condition of these surviving soldiers, he couldn't help being moved.

When he was frowning, a man bent over and ran to him from the incomplete trench and said: "Reporting sir, Cai Zhaoqing, chief of staff of the 599 regiment, is reporting to you, please give me instructions!"

Wu Chengfeng looked at the dark, thin and ragged man in front of him, if it wasn't for the armband on his shoulder that showed he was a lieutenant colonel, he would have thought it was a beggar who came from somewhere.

He frowned and said, "Chief Cai, how many people are left in our regiment?"

Cai Zhaoqing blurted out almost without thinking: "I counted the number of people an hour ago, and there are still 860 brothers who can hold guns. Now there should be dozens less."

Wu Chengfeng frowned and said, "Is the little devil beating so hard?"

"Mr. Wu, you may not have known it when you first came here. Just five days ago, the little devil joined an infantry regiment numbered 245. This regiment is equipped with at least six carcass guns, which are designed to deal with our machine guns and bunker.

As soon as our machine guns show up, they will be staring at them. Originally, our regiment had more than 30 light and heavy machine guns, but now there are only five left, and most of them were killed by the little devil's card-hole guns. "

Wu Chengfeng understood that the Kakong gun that Cai Zhaoqing mentioned was the Japanese Type 37 36mm anti-tank gun. This gun was an imitation of the German KWK37 2870mm anti-tank gun.

Originally, the Japanese army imitated the gun to deal with China's armored forces. They never thought that China's armored vehicles were almost non-existent, so the Japanese army repurposed the gun to deal with our machine gun fire points or bunkers.

The reason why it is called the jamming gun is because this anti-tank gun shoots very accurately and quickly. When it is loaded, it will "click" and when it is fired, there will be a "hole" sound, and a machine gun position of our army will be gone.

Wu Chengfeng asked again, "Chief of Staff Cai, I remember we also sent air support, why didn't you call in planes to bomb the little devil's position."

"We have taught it." Cai Zhaoqing explained: "But you have also seen that now we and the little devils are intertwined. There are enemies among the enemies. If the plane is not careful, the bombs dropped will blow us up. Head, so it's better not to bark."

"That's it."

Wu Chengfeng nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sharp whistling sound from above his head.

"Sir, be careful!"

The reaction formed on the battlefield over the years made Wu Chengfeng have no time to think, so he threw himself on the ground with a tiger pounce, and then heard a violent explosion in his ears, and a shell hit a wall less than ten meters away from them. On the broken wall, gravel and dust flying around instantly enveloped them.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared and Wu Chengfeng got up, he saw two soldiers from the 599th regiment lying unconscious in a pool of blood not far away.

Wu Chengfeng stretched out his hand and summoned two soldiers, "Quick... send them to the field hospital behind."

"Sir...the little devil is attacking again!" At this moment, the voice of a soldier came from the side.

"Damn it, this is a blow to Lao Tzu."

He was almost killed when he arrived at the position, and Wu Chengfeng lost his temper for a while.

He called for a communications soldier and reached out for a walkie-talkie.

"Is it the artillery company? I'm Wu Chengfeng, the deputy head of the regiment. Have you set up your positions yet? What... two or ten minutes? I don't have that much time for you. I only have 10 minutes for you to finish the preparations immediately."

After all, he switched another channel: "Hello... Balloon Observation Squadron? Has your reconnaissance balloon lifted off? Can it take off in 5 minutes?

Very good... Immediately after taking off, observe the Japanese artillery position and the movement of the Japanese army, and then report the coordinates to the artillery. There must be no mistakes. I want him to look good! "

After several orders in a row, he said to Cai Zhaoqing who was staring blankly: "Chief of Staff Cai, take me to the headquarters."

"Yes!"

Accompanied by the arrival of Wu Chengfeng and his group, the most impressive thing is the 599th Infantry Regiment in front of the 245th Regiment.

As the commander of the 245th Wing, Eijiro Aikawa quickly received the return from the front.

"Nani...the 599 regiment on the opposite side has received strong reinforcements, and the attack of the third brigade has been blocked. How is this possible?"

Colonel Eijiro Aikawa showed surprise in his eyes, "The 200th China Division has been besieged by the imperial army in Tonggu for several months. Although they can get supplies from China planes, the loss of personnel is irreparable.

Where did they get such reinforcements?And it has such a strong firepower? "

"Yes, Your Excellency, Captain." The chief of staff said with a serious expression: "According to Captain Yanagawa's report, the newly arrived reinforcements from the 599th regiment have extremely fierce firepower, especially the machine guns they use, and their rate of fire is brutal. As soon as the third brigade exchanged fire with them, they lost one Type [-] heavy machine gun and two Type [-] light machine guns.

Masao Yanagawa said he suspected that the new reinforcements were not troops from the Chongqing government of China. "

"joke!"

Aikawa Eijiro was almost annoyed, "If it's not the army of the Chongqing government in China, what kind of army would it be? The banditry in China or the local militia?"

"This..." The chief of staff was also a little speechless.

After fighting with the Chinese army for so many years, the Japanese army also summed up its own set of experiences.

In China, the most capable of fighting is not necessarily the Central Army of Chairman Jiang's direct line, but they must be the best equipped.

Now suddenly a well-equipped reinforcement army with extremely fierce firepower appeared. Who else besides the Central Army?

But none of them expected that Eijiro Aikawa's seemingly joking words just hit the truth.
