Chapter 150 Preparing to Form an Artillery Regiment
Gu Wenxuan led his eight hundred men and retreated after shooting for a while, and hid on a slightly raised hillside behind the Japanese residence.
He had already arranged dozens of mountain cannons there in battle formation.
When Zhao Yulong saw those mountain cannons, he was so happy that he immediately led his men up there.
We had a situation similar to this one before, when the boss provided them with this type of mountain gun, and since then they have also been trained in the operation of the mountain gun.
This time he was familiar with the process and asked his men to calibrate the mountain cannon.
Aim at the positions of the Japanese and Imperial Army in front.
Dozens of artillery shells landed on the camps of the Imperial Army and the Japanese Army in front, and there was continuous artillery fire for a while.
Moreover, these cannons affected the explosives and bombs in the positions of the Japanese and Imperial Army.
Various explosions were heard in the enemy camp that stretched for one kilometer at the foot of the mountain, and flames lit up half the sky red.
When Matsui Taro was directing his men to pursue Gu Wenxuan, he looked back at his position and found it was already engulfed in a sea of fire.
Even his command center had been blown to pieces. He secretly thanked God for leading people to chase Gu Wenxuan, otherwise he would have followed his God of Heaven tonight.
Before the explosion, Gu Wenxuan had loaded dozens of enemy trucks into the space and placed them in a safe place.
Such good trucks were rare at that time. Even if you tried to buy one with money, you didn’t know how much it would cost, and you might not be able to buy it even if you had the money.
After Zhao Yulong and the soldiers fired for a while, Gu Wenxuan felt that it was enough, so he asked them to hang the mountain cannon on the back of the truck and pull it back to Heping Town.
Gu Wenxuan and his soldiers spent most of the night here and finally returned to Heping Town. It was almost dawn.
On the artillery tower in Heping Town, several Sichuan Army generals who were on lookout saw a group of military trucks coming on the black road ahead. They turned on their lights and rumbled towards them.
Yao Xinghua used a military telescope to see that the military vehicles in front of him were all Japanese, and there seemed to be mountain cannons hanging on the back. He felt very disappointed.
He said to Luo Depei beside him: "Lao Luo, I said they shouldn't attack the Japanese positions. Our military strength is too different.
Look at those Japanese military trucks towing mountain artillery. They are probably coming to attack us. Needless to say, Mr. Gu’s hundreds of men probably have no hope of returning!”
After hearing what Yao Xinghua said, Luo Depei felt a little nervous for a moment.
Is Mr. Gu, such a good man, really dead? He angrily snatched the telescope from Yao Xinghua's hand. He also wanted to see how many Japanese troops were chasing him!
However, when he looked through the telescope, he found that although there were dozens of military vehicles, there were no infantry following them.
Rodpei was puzzled. Although the Japanese army had dozens of trucks coming, they must have some infantry to follow them. Why did they just have trucks?
Finally, he saw a dog's head dangling in the cab of a truck.
He took a closer look and realized that this dog was none other than his brother, Gu Wenxuan’s black dog that could walk on the snow without leaving any traces.
He was afraid that he had not seen clearly, so he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and looked through the telescope again. Sure enough, it was the black dog!
Look carefully at those soldiers driving the cars. They are not Japanese soldiers at all. They are clearly Gu Wenxuan's men.
Because Gu Wenxuan and his men came here, all wearing the uniforms of their Sichuan Army. They have been wearing the uniforms of the Sichuan Army for decades, so how could they not recognize them?
When Luo Depei saw that the people driving the cars were Gu Wenxuan's men, he immediately became happy and slapped Yao Xinghua on the back.
"You son of a bitch, Yao Xinghua, you scared me to death. These are not the Japanese army at all, they are clearly the men of Gu Wenxuan's brother. They must have seized the Japanese truck and drove it back. Let's go out of the artillery tower to greet them!"
Yao Xinghua still didn't believe that Gu Wenxuan and his hundreds of men could defeat the Japanese army and seize so many trucks.
Whether he believed it or not, Luo Depei had already walked out of the artillery tower to meet Gu Wenxuan.
While he was hesitating, Gu Wenxuan and his brothers had already arrived under the artillery tower in the captured car.
Gu Wenxuan had already ordered the car to stop, opened the door and jumped out.
His black dog also jumped out of the car.
Luo Depei laughed loudly, ran up and hugged Gu Wenxuan.
"Brother, you are awesome! Are these cars all seized by you?"
Gu Wenxuan said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense? If it wasn't seized, would they give it to me at a discount?"
Luo Depei ignored Gu Wenxuan's words and walked in front of the mountain cannons pulled behind the cars, stroking those brand new mountain cannons, with tears in his eyes as if he had seen a beautiful woman.
"Tsk tsk! Wow, such great mountain artillery! Brother, no matter what, you have to give me half of these mountain artillery!"
At this time, Yao Xinghua also came out and continued his words: "Lao Luo, you can't be so greedy. These are spoils of war and must be shared among the independent division!"
Rodby glared at him.
"You didn't seize this, so what right do you have to say?"
Yao Xinghua also doesn't like Lao Luo.
"We are an army, a collective. You can't always use your countryman's ideas to manage the army.
I am in charge of logistics, and I have the final say on this matter!"
Gu Wenxuan also nodded and said to Luo Depei, "Yes, this time I also agree with Lao Yao's statement. Everything captured on the battlefield must be public, managed and distributed by the collective! If everyone uses everything they capture, it will be a mess."
Rodpei realized that his little thoughts were seen through, but he was not embarrassed. He just smiled and walked away.
They entered Heping Town with their spoils. After entering the town, Rodpei and his men had already asked the soldiers stationed in Heping Town to prepare breakfast.
Just waiting for Gu Wenxuan and the others to return victoriously so they can have a hot meal.
You know what, Gu Wenxuan and his soldiers were already exhausted. When they saw the cooked food, they started eating without any hesitation.
Yao Xinghua has taken his soldiers to register the guns, artillery and cars seized by Gu Wenxuan and his men this time.
I was smiling from ear to ear while registering. This was really a fruitful experience.
There were only 28 mountain cannons and as many as 50 mortars.
There are thousands of artillery shells of various types.
There are more than 500 rifles and tens of thousands of bullets.
Rodpey said: "I think we can set up an artillery regiment on our own!"
Yao Xinghua nodded and agreed:
"Lao Luo, your idea is right. I see that we have organized an artillery regiment. If our old brothers see it, they will be so envious!
I think even Chiang Kai-shek's own troops are not as well equipped as we are!"
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
So the two of them sat together again to discuss the future development plan of their independent division.
