"It's really a little strange to go and take a look" Li Guotao really couldn't understand what was going on, so he wanted to go and see the mountain cannon, maybe he could find the answer from it."
What to see," Changde asked puzzled."
Go see the mountain cannon."
Li Guotao replied casually.Changde nodded, and walked out with Li Guotao, although there were no shells, but this mountain cannon was a big killer for the independent regiment The largest caliber artillery equipped by the independent regiment before was only the 92 infantry gun, and the caliber of the 92 infantry gun was only 70 mm, and the caliber of this mountain gun was 75 mm, both in power and range, it was far superior to the 92 infantry gun, so this gun was regarded as a treasure by the soldiers, but in order to facilitate transportation, the soldiers had already disassembled the mountain artillery.Li Guotao looked at the cannon barrel, frowned and said: "This cannon barrel has obviously not been used, but the strange thing is that this cannon barrel is not new, according to the above time, it was made a few years ago." ”Chang De said with a bitter face: "This cannonball cannon" "No, it's definitely a real guy, and it's very well maintained, as long as there are cannonballs, it can be used at any time." ”Li Guotao shook his head and said.Speaking of which, I suddenly found that the barrel of the cannon was engraved with Japanese characters slowly, and it stands to reason that the average cannon is engraved with some production dates, models, and inscriptions of the place of production at most, but there are obviously too many engraved on it.Li Guotao frowned, waved his hand at the soldier next to him and said, "Bring the torches closer and take a look here." ”The soldier next to him hurriedly brought the torch in his hand over.Through the dim light of the torch, Li Guotao finally saw the words engraved on it clearly, read it carefully, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned to Chang De next to him and said, "I know what's going on, this time you can be regarded as picking up a treasure." ”At the same time, Yoshida Ichiro, who was at the headquarters of the garrison in Qingyuan County at this time, couldn't help but be furious, slapped the table and scolded loudly: "All waste is waste, the security of Qingyuan County is so poor, and the Tuba Road is so rampant.Dare to openly attack the imperial army, what are your garrisons doing?
”Lieutenant Tanimura, the captain of the Qingyuan County garrison, was already sweating profusely at this time, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Excellency the general is angry, Qingyuan County is close to Baoding, and there are a large number of imperial troops stationed nearby, so since the imperial army occupied Baoding.The main force of the Eighth Route Army never appeared in the vicinity, and only one so-called county brigade of the Eighth Route Army operated in the territory of Qingyuan.But there were only two or three hundred people at most in this Tuba Road, and it was obvious that they were not the ones who ambushed the imperial army.It was speculated that there should be a main force of the Eighth Route Army, and it happened that he passed by and learned the whereabouts of His Excellency the General, so he set up an ambush. ”"Hmph, do you mean that this group of Eighth Route Army is not local to Qingyuan, so you are not responsible" Yoshida Ichiro asked with a cold snort."
This is not what the meaning of the lowly position, the general's Excellency is attacked in the lowly defense area, and the lowly position bears an unshirkable responsibility.Therefore, the lowly is willing to apologize for his sins. ”Lieutenant Tanimura gritted his teeth and lowered his head."
You have a fart for disembowelment" Unexpectedly, Yoshida Ichiro didn't buy it at all, and scolded loudly at the top of his throat: "Do you know that the mountain cannon I carried before, it was given by His Majesty the Emperor, but now it has fallen into the hands of the Chinese people, how do you ask me to explain to His Majesty the Emperor." ”It turns out that this mountain artillery really has an extraordinary origin, Yoshida Ichiro is from the Lu artillery department, and he served as the commander of the mountain artillery wing a few years ago.During a military exercise observed by the Emperor of Japan.The mountain artillery team led by Yoshida Ichiro performed well, and the emperor was overjoyed, and on a whim, he rewarded Yoshida Ichiro with a mountain cannon as a reward.In Japan, the emperor has always been worshipped as a god, and most people never see the emperor in their lifetime.I was able to receive a reward from His Majesty the Emperor.That's the highest honor.Since then, Ichiro Yoshida has carried this mountain cannon given by the emperor as a capital to show off wherever he goes.But what I didn't expect was that this time I was suddenly ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, and when I retreated in a hurry, I didn't bring out this bulky mountain cannon.At that time, Ichiro Yoshida ran a few miles later.Knowing that the mountain cannon was left behind, he planned to go back and retrieve the mountain cannon given by the emperor, but he was stopped by the little devils around him and forcibly took Yoshida Ichiro back to Qingyuan County."
Your Excellency General Hai is angry, and I will do my best to find out where this group of people came from as soon as possible, and then completely annihilate them and recapture the mountain artillery given by the Emperor."
Lieutenant Tanimura said with a respectful expression."
Then what are you doing here, why don't you go quickly," Yoshida Ichiro said angrily and loudly."
Hai" Lieutenant Tanimura replied respectfully, turned around and ran away.Looking at the back of Lieutenant Tanimura's departure, Yoshida Ichiro snorted angrily, turned to the adjutant next to him and asked, "When will the Xiaoyan Brigade arrive" As soon as he arrived at Qingyuan, Yoshida Ichiro couldn't wait to order the Xiaoyan Brigade stationed in Baoding to rush to support, hoping to recapture the mountain artillery given by the emperor."
Report to Your Excellency General, after receiving the order, the Xiaoyan Brigade immediately gathered urgently, and now it has left Baoding, and is on the way to Qingyuan with all its might, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach Qingyuan County in two hours."
The adjutant replied respectfully."
Yo Xi will wait until the Xiaoyan Brigade arrives, and set off immediately, we must take back the mountain cannons given by the Emperor, and annihilate all these hateful Shina people, and those fools in the garrison can't count on it."
Yoshida Ichiro said with an angry face.Yoshida Ichiro also knew in his heart that this time they encountered was definitely the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the combat effectiveness was really not weak, with only the more than 200 people in the county garrison, even if they were all dispatched, they might not be the opponent of the Eighth Route Army, let alone recapture the mountain artillery given by the emperor."
Your Excellency General Hai is wise.Your Excellency, when the Koiwa Brigade arrives, the Imperial Army will gather a large number of troops, and it will be easy to destroy this Chinese army, and then we will be able to recapture the mountain artillery given by the Emperor. ”The adjutant said respectfully.Yoshida Ichiro sighed helplessly, turned around and looked respectfully at the portrait of the emperor hanging on the wall, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Weichen has lost the sacred grace and lost the mountain cannon given by His Majesty, and the minister deserves death, but the minister must do his best to recapture the mountain artillery, if it fails, Weichen is willing to apologize to His Majesty." ”aa2705221:
