Chapter 808 New Year's Parade (Part 2)
The shock brought to the people was not just once, but a series of shocks.
With the thunderous slogans, Li Jijin led his third battalion and one company past the rostrum!
Qian Dazhu led his Second Battalion and First Company across the rostrum!
Zhao Daqiang led his battalion and company across the rostrum!
This order is basically based on the order of the four main infantry companies of the original independent battalion, and it is also the order that Tang Dao believes is the most reasonable. Although the Four Lines Regiment paraded the current soldiers to celebrate the New Year this time, for Tang Dao and these hundred For the soldiers after the rest of the war, this is more like a kind of commemoration.
The whole army of the Fourth Army Regiment said to those comrades who died on the battlefield and had to bury their bones in foreign lands without even tombstones: Brothers, you see, the more battles our brothers fight, the stronger they become!
Otherwise, when Tang Dao shouted "Long live the Chinese soldiers!" again and again, why did the soldiers who were walking and holding steel guns shouting "Long live the motherland! Long live the Chinese nation!" shed tears on their faces?
Tears streaked across the dark cheeks and dripped on the lapels of their clothes, causing all the soldiers who saw it to feel their hearts twitching.
Because only they know it, the soldiers walking in front of their commanders are thinking of their comrades who have died in battle!
They did not have the opportunity to show their bravery in front of the fellow villagers in Yu Province, so they could only walk past here with their longing and their warm smiles.
As Tang Tuanzuo once said: The real death is forgetfulness! As long as you don't forget, he will still be there!
As soldiers, they have not forgotten the comrades who stood side by side with them. As the commentator of the military parade, Tantai Mingyue will not forget the performance of every officer and soldier who walked through the phalanx in front of her in this war.
Just like her evaluation of each infantry company and the infantry company commander, her voice was passionate but extremely pertinent!
"Company Commander Qian Dazhu was a senior soldier under the 152nd Regiment of the 76th Brigade of the 26th Division of the 43rd Army during the Songjiang War. Yes, many of you here may know that the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army fought very well on the Songhu battlefield. Zhan fought **** battles with the Japanese army for seven days and nights without retreating. Only 700 men in the entire division were able to walk out of the battlefield.
But what you don't know is that Company Commander Qian Dazhu's old commander Jie Guji died in this battle, and there were only 200 people left in the 152nd Regiment out of 2,000. But that's it, Company Commander Qian Dazhu and his Sichuan Army comrades We, with a military order, face the 100,000 Japanese troops of the Tenth Army coming from the Jinshanwei sea, and support Songjiang without hesitation!
In the battle of Songjiang Waicang City, all the comrades in the second platoon of Captain Qian Dazhu were killed in the battle. Faced with the crazy attack of the Japanese invaders, Captain Qian Dazhu held his position for fifteen minutes with one man's strength and defeated nearly a hundred Japanese invaders. They could not advance even an inch and waited until reinforcements arrived.
After the war, Company Commander Qian Dazhu was promoted from first class soldier to second lieutenant. Commander Guo ordered the second platoon to be rebuilt. When the Independent Battalion was established, he was transferred as a whole to the Independent Battalion. He and the infantry company behind him were the fighting spirit of the Sichuan Army. condensed. "
Listening to the introduction of himself and his infantry company coming from the loudspeaker, Qian Dazhu had already stepped across the rostrum with a firm expression and a cold face, like a stone, but his eyes were already filled with sparkling crystals.
That was undoubtedly the most moving scene in the scene.
The ladies who originally held the dream of the "Beauty Love Heroes" described the dreams, and I don't know how many of them gently covering their mouth at that moment.
It turns out that the heroes in the storybook are not tough guys, they also shed tears, especially when they think of their comrades.
And they died fighting for this country.
The dream of the 'hero' depicted in the storybook was shattered, but for these young girls, a tearful hero touched their hearts even more.
They looked at the young lieutenant, and their hearts ached involuntarily.
“Long live the Chinese nation!”
The old man in brocade robes who asked the lieutenant officer a question suddenly raised his arms and shouted the slogan that he, who was extremely experienced, felt was a little inappropriate.
Originally, the old fox, who was deeply entangled with the upper class, instinctively wanted to remain silent. His rich experience told him honestly that the Four Elements Group who shouted this slogan was drawing a line with those forces that were loyal to certain groups.
But at this moment, seeing these heroic young men with tears streaming down their cheeks, the emotion that had been surging in my heart for a long time suddenly erupted.
Who has no son?
His son, who is already over fifty, is also in his twenties. Because his family is well off, his son does nothing but hangs out in restaurants and theaters all day long. He is not a good person but not too bad. He has always been a good person since he was a child. Even when he calls himself a dog to outsiders, it's all a word of humility.
Unexpectedly, after seeing this group of young people, the old man had a feeling. It turned out that it was not humility, but a literal meaning.
But the parents of the young people he would never see again would never see their sons again!
They are both parents. Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but twist, and all the previous scruples disappeared in an instant.
Love so and so, anyway, I have to accompany these young men to shout slogans, otherwise, I will be sorry for them.
Hearing the sudden voice beside him, the solemn face of the army lieutenant next to him suddenly softened a lot.
Many gentry and celebrities who were moved by this scene also raised their arms and shouted the slogan "Long live the motherland, long live the Chinese nation!".
But there were quite a few people who cast sidelong glances at their excited companions and continued to remain silent.
It is true that they came to see the heroic leader, but that does not mean that they are willing to be deeply bound to the Four Lines Regiment, especially when the Four Lines Regiment shouts such a slogan of only being loyal to the country and the nation, God knows what those war zone senior officials will how to think? Those high-ranking officials were either faction bosses or confidants of the principal.
Si Xing Tuan dares to risk the disapproval of the world, but that doesn't mean they can!
It can be said that in these few minutes, the people in the venue had various thoughts. Some were moved by it, some were wise to protect themselves, and some even thought about whether to hold on to the entire military parade and leave quickly to avoid being watched by interested people. superior.
Those who can enter the venue are all people with a certain social status. They also understand that among the hundreds of people in the venue, there are probably many high-level spies hidden there. It is possible that everyone's words and deeds will be recorded.
But the military parade of the Four Troops will not stop just because of everyone's different thoughts.
The phalanx of four infantry companies passed by, followed closely by the artillery company.
This is the combined phalanx of the 1st Artillery Company and the 2nd Artillery Company. It is also the largest phalanx so far, with more than 150 people. Pang Dahai and Cheng Tieshou walked at the forefront of the phalanx with their heads held high.
Behind them were the 92 infantry cannon, the Type 41 mountain cannon, the 37mm battle defense cannon, and two machine guns dragged by pack horses.
Several styles of artillery also attracted the attention of all the people.
After all, even the inexperienced person knows that cannons are more powerful than guns. Rifles and machine guns kill on an individual basis, but artillery kills on a group basis.
I didn't expect that the Four Lines Regiment would have so many artillery pieces. No wonder they are so powerful.
"What is coming to us now is the newly established artillery company of the Fourth Army Regiment. They were originally officers and soldiers of the machine gun companies of each infantry company. Most of their personnel have participated in all the battles of the independent battalion of the 43rd Army, the predecessor of the Fourth Army Regiment. Company Commander Pang Panghai and Company Commander Cheng Tieshou are from the 67th Army and the 88th Division respectively. It is precisely because of these artillery brothers who have given the most powerful support to the front-line infantry that our Four Lines Regiment can fight on the front line again and again. victory!
Of course, you may be wondering what kind of artillery these are. I can tell you that here there are not only the 37mm combat anti-cannon originally equipped by our army, but also the Type 92 70mm infantry cannon and the Type 41 75mm mountain cannon equipped by the Japanese army. There is also the twin-mounted 25mm machine gun, which was captured by our Four Lines Regiment after previous battles. "
Following Tantai Mingyue's introduction, the artillery company phalanx had already approached the rostrum. However, they did not salute Tang Dao and leave shouting slogans like the infantry phalanx. Instead, the entire phalanx stopped in front of the rostrum. Next, the two leading army captains trotted all the way to the rostrum and saluted Tang Dao: "Report to the regiment, the artillery battery is all ready!"
"Okay! Pass my military order and you can fire!" Tang Dao raised his hand and returned the salute.
Erya, who was standing on the side of the rostrum, heard Tang Dao say this. He pulled out a signal gun from his waist and fired a green signal bomb into the sky.
Within five seconds, a green signal flare was raised several kilometers away in the southwest.
What are you doing? Isn't it a military parade? Why did you get live ammunition?
Not to mention the confused look on the colonel's staff standing next to Tang Dao, even the 'celebrities' in the venue who suddenly became quiet also felt that the atmosphere was different.
Because, they saw that four 75mm mountain guns dragged by pack horses were unloaded and then pushed to the center of the open field by four artillery squads. Each gun was 20 meters apart, and the muzzles pointed diagonally towards the sky. Several soldiers quickly Looking ahead and reporting the data loudly, the artillerymen who set up the cannon quickly adjusted the cannon according to the data reported by their comrades, while other soldiers unloaded four shell boxes from a carriage and placed them behind their respective guns. And each took out a yellow-orange cannonball.
That's live ammunition!
My dear! It was really live ammunition. When all the people in Henan Province turned their eyes around and around the yellow-orange shells that were about to be stuffed into the gun barrels and finally confirmed, they could only express their emotions at this time by being stunned. Unexpectedly, they could attend a New Year's party and still see live shelling. This was probably something they never dreamed of.
There were many people who were surprised, but most of them still stood there waiting to see a scene they might never see in their lifetime. That is the most instinctive curiosity of human beings.
But there were also those who were afraid. Seeing the four mountain cannons being set up in an orderly manner, some people covered their ears and ran farther away, while a few others turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd outside the venue.
But this is not important. Deputy Gong Shaoxun, who is responsible for ensuring the safety of the venue, has an order. If you want to come in, you must go through strict inspection. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time!
“Captain Tang, are you going to kill Moss?” Taking advantage of the fact that the artillerymen were still adjusting the muzzle, the colonel and staff officer from Jiangxia spoke out his hometown dialect with a painful look on his face!
Live ammunition, of course, is nothing to this guy, but now this is wartime, and your cannons are firing directly outside Zhengzhou City, how about that?
What's more, the cost of a cannonball is at least 20 oceans. Just blast four of them out in vain. Don't waste it too much. In the theater staff department, he received the most requests from frontline generals, and it was for the theater to replenish artillery shells!
Seeing these yellow-orange shells, the colonel's first thought was, stay here, don't give it to me!
"Brother Fan, on this New Year's Day celebration, according to our Chinese tradition, how can there be no fireworks? Watch our regiment light some large fireworks for everyone to have fun! I have already submitted this to Commander Cheng for approval, City Defense Headquarters The other side also knows, and they helped select this bombardment point. There is no farmland there, it is a hill!" Tang Dao said with a smile.
“Commander Tang, on this occasion of the big celebration, other expenses are just that, but it is better to save as little as possible on the ordnance and ammunition.” The colonel's staff advised heartbrokenly.
This is the tragedy of a country with a poor industrial base. Commanders who have been on the battlefield may not care much about money, but they are always very precious about the ordnance and ammunition that they cannot make.
"Brother Fan, don't feel bad. These artillery shells were also captured by our regiment from the Japanese army. They should be regarded as a test for the brothers of our regiment's artillery company. The more nervous you are, the more accurate the artillery must be! Otherwise! , How to kill the enemy on a battlefield that is more tense than this? As the fire support troops of our regiment, they must have such a psychological quality. The lives of our infantry brothers are much more important than these few shells. , right?" Tang Dao replied.
All right! There was absolutely nothing wrong with what he said, and the colonel's staff could no longer stop him. But I admire Tang Dao's way of running the army even more. He can not waste such an important celebration to test the psychological quality of the artillerymen. Apart from this person, it is difficult for anyone else to do this.
This requires enough confidence and courage!
If the shot is not accurate, not to mention his artillery company will become a laughing stock, and even the entire Fourth Army Regiment will probably be embarrassed in front of the invited people, which will completely destroy the huge impact of the infantry formation in front. Completely offset.
Of course, if you just fire a few cannons randomly into the open space in the distance, let everyone see the power of the cannons and listen to the sound, and treat it as a salute, that's fine.
However, with Tantai Mingyue's loud introduction on the rostrum, it was clear that the Four Troops really had no intention of just letting off a salute for show.
"The reason why our Fourth Army Regiment was able to annihilate more than 2,500 Japanese troops in the Guangde Defense Battle was due to the contribution of the brothers of the artillery company. They used the various types of artillery you see in front of you. They counterattacked the Japanese army's overwhelming artillery fire. Next, during an afternoon of fighting, more than 1,200 artillery shells of various types were fired, destroying dozens of light and heavy firepower points of the Japanese invaders surrounded by our regiment, killing and wounding countless Japanese invaders.
Now, it is up to them to use their most trustworthy cannons to light the fireworks for our New Year's celebration of the Four Elements Regiment. Just in front of the hill on Jiulidi, there are two beacon towers, symbolizing the second year of the founding of our Four Lines Regiment. The fireworks are a symbol of the flames of war that our Four Lines Regiment will continue to fight against the Japanese invaders. Keep moving forward and never retreat.
However, each cannon only has one chance, there is no test firing, no supplementary firing, and only one shell is prepared for them. "Tantai Mingyue's voice sounded loudly on the training ground, which had become a little quiet.
"You see, Brother Fan, I, Tang Dao, am not the prodigal son you imagined. I don't have so many cannonballs for my brothers to play with." Tang Dao chuckled.
The colonel's staff did not smile, and there was solemnity on his face.
Hidden in Tang Dao's smile was an almost arrogant self-confidence. He believed that his artillery could hit a target 4,500 meters away with two shots.
A person with this kind of self-confidence either has great strength or is a god.
through!
However, Tang Dao, who fought in consecutive battles and survived the battlefield to become the regiment leader, the colonel and staff knew that he would never be the latter.
“Fire!” The fat on Pang Dahai's face trembled. After the four squad leaders holding red flags raised their red flags one after another, his roar shocked the entire audience.
Following this order, the artillery squad leader holding a small red flag waved the red flag fiercely.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!” The four cannons let out a huge roar one after another, which shocked the crowd more than 20 meters away and covered their ears. A group of ladies were eclipsed by their beauty.
Just firing the cannon is so powerful, how earth-shattering it will be after the cannonball hits the ground!
If Pang Dahai told them that these mountain artillery were just the medium-sized artillery currently equipped by the Sixings Regiment, if they were replaced by those 150-caliber heavy mortars and fired artillery shells from 6 miles away, it would only take 50 shells at most to defeat them. This training ground with an area of nearly 10,000 square meters was exploded into a piece of scorched earth. Of the more than 10,000 people currently standing inside and outside the field, no more than 30% will survive, and almost no ordinary people will survive. If so, I'm afraid these ladies will not imagine the power of the shell explosion in their minds.
Artillery, in this era, is the well-deserved **** of war.
As all four cannons were fired in less than ten seconds!
Since this place is basically a plain, you can see far into the distance. The small hills several kilometers away are very blurry, but the fires that explode one after another are very obvious. Four consecutive fires light up on the blurry shadows of the hills.
“Boom! Boom!” Only then did the rumbling sounds of artillery sound come from the distance one after another.
Judging from the approximate position, the four cannons fired fairly accurately, at least they all hit the small hill. However, the imaginary fireworks did not light up.
Thinking about it, it's still a little bit worse. But, this is already amazing.
Everyone who has been a soldier knows that it is already a very good result to be able to hit a target 100 meters away without any test firing.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" After a brief moment of astonishment, the colonel's staff clapped vigorously. The 'celebrities' and people who reacted also clapped their hands desperately.
For a time, the audience burst into applause.
Although it's not as stunning as I imagined, it's really, really good.
Of course, it also means giving face to Si Xing Tuan.
The sedan chair needs someone to carry it! Looking around the world, Chinese people are the best at this.
But Tang Dao didn't look depressed at all. He laughed and said, "Brother Fan, this is the wrong time to applaud! Look, the fireworks are coming. Applause should be given here."
Then, in everyone's field of vision, in the light of the fire that had just exploded, a series of fireworks exploded into the sky, and then the next one. Then, two huge smoke pillars shot up.
From the time the shells exploded to the fireworks filling the sky, about twenty seconds passed.
"Haha, Brother Fan didn't think that I would be stupid enough to put a fire and fireworks poured with diesel on the explosion point! The shell only hit the ignition object, and it was still forty meters away from the fire! Otherwise, They all blew up in no time!" Tang Dao said with a chuckle.
In front of the sky-filled fireworks and soaring fireworks, the flood of applause fell silent. Without any test firing, only two shots hit the target?
"Boom!", thunderous applause burst out again after a few seconds of silence, which was at least twice as loud as the previous applause.
The artillery company of the Fourth Line Regiment is really awesome!
If the previous four infantry companies showed the spirit of a strong army, then what the artillery company showed to everyone at this moment was their tyrannical technical and tactical standards.
"Captain Jiujin, the soldiers under Commander Pang are getting more and more awesome! They really hit wherever they want. It seems that we will treat Commander Pang to a few more drinks in the future. The 150-weight mortar can also hit with such accuracy. Let's Is the infantry company still afraid of the Japs charging?" Qian Dazhu, who was already resting in a corner of the empty field, also whispered to Li Jijin in an exclamatory tone.
"Hey, Dazhu! You are still too young! As far as I know, the regiment arranged for Lao Pang's people to dig several individual artillery defense holes on the hill as early as last night. As for what to do, Or something, I said it was to prevent someone from entering the bombardment area, do you believe it?" Li Jijin smiled with big yellow teeth. "However, Lao Pang's soldiers are indeed good, so he probably didn't use the preliminary plan!"
“This” Qian Dazhu grinned and admitted the fact that he was still young.
Tang Tuanzuo's ability to deceive people is something he has always wanted to learn! That's it, I feel like the gap is getting bigger and bigger!
