I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 6 Repairing the fortifications, the Japanese army retaliated!
Zhou Weiguo looked at Xu Qingfeng with admiration, then turned to a second lieutenant officer behind him and shouted: "Zhang Zhijian!"

"Yes!" the second lieutenant officer responded and stepped forward.

Zhou Weiguo pointed at Xu Qingfeng and said: "From now on, you and your subordinates will be under the command of Captain Xu!"

"Yes!" Zhang Zhijian looked at Xu Qingfeng and accepted the order happily.

After the arrangements were made, Zhou Weiguo was about to leave.

Xu Qingfeng quickly stopped him and said, "Tuan Zuo, wait a minute."

"Huh?" Zhou Weiguo stopped and turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xu Qingfeng stepped forward quickly and signaled Zhou Weiguo to go to a deserted place.

Then lowered his voice and said: "Tuan Zuo, the Japanese army has continued to send reinforcements, and our army is almost exhausted.

If we continue fighting like this, there will probably be no benefit other than being used as cannon fodder. "

Zhou Weiguo looked up at him and said, "What do you think?"

"Tuanzu, with all due respect, with our level of equipment, it is unreasonable to fight here against the Japanese who have all the advantages in the sea and air.

Especially now, our army has been passive across the board, so it would be better to withdraw early. "

Zhou Weiguo looked at Xu Qingfeng with burning eyes. In his opinion, Xu Qingfeng, a small deputy company commander, could have such a clear understanding of the battle situation.

This is very commendable.

So, he calmly said to Xu Qingfeng: "Brother, actually, I understand what you said.

But military orders are like mountains. We have to guard them on the top, so we can only obey! "

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the urban area behind him.

He said meaningfully: "Look, behind us is Greater Shanghai. If we can't stop it, all the people in Shanghai will suffer!"
So, we have no choice, understand? "

Xu Qingfeng nodded slightly and said no more.

The reason why I said this to Zhou Weiguo was because I wanted to tell him.

There is really no need to defend Jiulian's position.

If we keep guarding any longer, they may all become cannon fodder.

But it turns out that what he can think of, Zhou Weiguo can actually think of.

However, he is only a colonel commander, and his authority is too low.

It is impossible to change the decision of the high command.

It is even more impossible to retreat without authorization.

In this case, there is nothing more to say.

Find a way to hold the position, to withstand the devil's revenge and the next round of attack.

There is no way, who made the top of the national army all stupid pigs.

Calculating the time, it will not be long before the national army retreats across the board.

So, after Zhou Weiguo left.

Xu Qingfeng silently despised Captain Chang Kaishen in his heart.

Remember to write your diary carefully, don’t give random instructions.

After calming down, Xu Qingfeng ordered Liu Mancang to call all the squad and platoon leaders under his command.

The Ninth Company originally had four platoon leaders, namely three main infantry platoons and one machine gun platoon.

But now, only Sun Kui, the commander of the second infantry platoon, is still alive, and the rest have all died in the battle.

Including Zhang Zhijian, whom Zhou Weiguo left just now, there are two platoon leaders in total.

After they came over, Xu Qingfeng immediately asked Sun Kui: "Platoon Leader Sun, how many more people do we have?"

Sun Kui quickly replied: "Company commander, I just calculated that there are still 28 uninjured people in our ninth company.

Of the 32 injured, eighteen were seriously wounded and fourteen were lightly wounded.

If the seriously wounded are removed, there are 42 people who can still participate in the battle. "

"Send the seriously injured to the regiment headquarters immediately and ask the regiment leader to help transport them to the rear hospital." Xu Qingfeng immediately ordered.

"Just after the battle ended, people have been dispatched to the rear." Sun Kui replied.

Xu Qingfeng asked Zhang Zhijian again: "Platoon Leader Zhang, how many people did you bring?"

"23 people." Zhang Zhijian said: "Our platoon originally had 38 people, and the other brothers were all martyred."

"That means we still have 65 people."

Xu Qingfeng nodded slightly and immediately ordered: "Give me the order for everyone to dig cat's ear holes to prevent the enemy from retaliating."

"Company commander, what is a cat's ear hole?" Sun Kui asked puzzledly.

Xu Qingfeng came directly to a trench, pointed to the inner wall of the trench on one side and said, "This is right here, sticking to the ground, digging horizontally downwards.

Dig a small hole where people can hide, so that it can protect against both air and artillery fire. "

Since it is impossible to retreat and escape, it can only find a way from the fortifications.

Sun Kui, Zhang Zhijian and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. This was the first time they had heard of this kind of fortification.

When Xu Qingfeng saw this, he said with hatred: "The Japanese suffered a loss just now, and if we can't protect everything, they will retaliate against us soon.

Let me ask you, with our current fortifications, if the enemy continues to bombard us with aircraft, artillery, or even warships.

What to resist?Do you all want to be cannon fodder for the little devils? "

"I don't want to!" Sun Kui and others shook their heads repeatedly.

"Then why are you still hanging around? Go dig quickly, seize the time, and tell the soldiers that if you want to survive, dig hard for me.

The deeper you dig, the better your defenses and the better your chances of surviving! "

Xu Qingfeng shouted at them with a stern voice.

"Yes!" Sun Kui and the others, as if waking up from a dream, took orders and left.

Looking at their backs, Xu Qingfeng shook his head helplessly.

There is no way, most of the officers and soldiers of the country in this era are illiterate.

The understanding and cognition of modern warfare are still at a very backward stage.

This is also the main reason why the national army collapsed in the early and middle stages of the Anti-Japanese War and lost cities and territory.

It can be said that the national army at that time was in terms of tactical level, use of weapons and equipment, combat concepts and experience.

Compared with the well-trained Japanese army, it is simply incomparable.

The Central Army's ace German weapon master is no exception.

In the early days of the Battle of Songhu, tens of thousands of elite national troops besieged the Japanese marines with only a few thousand people, but they couldn't beat them.

The infantry-tank coordination was like a joke. The tanks charged in front, but the infantry didn't know how to coordinate and cover.

As a result, they were destroyed one by one by the Japanese. Without the cover and cooperation of the tanks, no matter how many infantrymen rushed forward, they would be killed.

The same goes for the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company in front of them. They have been bombed by the Japanese on the Songhu battlefield for more than two months.

There is still a lack of experience in how to defend against air and artillery.

That's why there were more than 80 national troops, who went on and on and fought bravely, but in the end they were defeated like a mountain and fell into a painful lesson.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on these grassroots officers and soldiers.

It is only an objective fact that the country is poor, poorly trained, and poorly equipped.

The most important thing is the issue of command!
Regardless of the other troops, the Ninth Company now has Xu Qingfeng under command. These officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company dare not say that they will survive until the end of the Battle of Songhu.

But at least he won't die so easily.

Even if they die in battle, they will be more valuable than those sacrificed by other troops.

Although the cat's ear hole may not necessarily be able to block the three-dimensional bombing of the devil's land, sea and air forces.

But at least it is safer than the fortification in front of me.

……

About three or four kilometers away from the Jiulian position, on the Huangpu River, on the cruiser Natori.

The command post of the 8th Battalion of the Japanese Marine Corps is located here.

The nearly 8 Japanese Marines responsible for attacking the Ninth Company's position belonged to the [-]th Battalion.

Xu Qingfeng's judgment was correct. When the commander of the 8th Battalion, Taizu Hiratani, learned that his landing force had been completely wiped out by the defenders, and no one retreated.

He was so angry that he immediately ran to contact warships and aircraft, requesting them to carry out retaliatory artillery bombardments and air strikes on the Ninth Company and the surrounding national army positions.

At the same time, Taichi Hiratani also ordered that all the remaining 8 people of the [-]th Brigade be landed.

Prepare to attack the ninth company position again!
