Ding Ning suddenly felt that the Huashan position had become a hot potato.
If they did not arrange defensive forces, they were afraid that they would be occupied by the Japanese army, and if they went, they were afraid that they would not be able to hold on, and their already limited forces would be lost in vain.
Hearing Ding Ning's worries, Zhao Lijin said: "Chief of Staff, why don't I go to Jiangyin Fort to borrow a few anti-aircraft guns."
"Lao Zhao, you have a way to borrow anti-aircraft guns, the problem is that even if you borrow it, Lao Zhang, they won't be able to operate it."
"Chief of Staff, don't worry, when the time comes, I'll borrow someone with a cannon."
Zhao Lijin patted his chest, confident, as if this was a trivial matter for him.
Ding Ning glanced at Zhai Daping, Zhai Daping nodded slightly, and said that he could let Zhao Lijin go to the fort to try, as for whether to borrow it or not is another matter.
"Lao Zhao, don't be too angry when you go this time, we are going to ask for others, try to say as many good things as possible.
If they don't borrow it, don't be angry, don't hurt the friendship between the brothers, you know?"
Ding Ning was afraid that Zhao Lijin's temper would come up, and he would mess things up, not to mention it, and it would also affect the reputation of the Independent Brigade.
Zhao Lijin patted his chest and promised: "Chief of Staff, don't worry, as long as I don't drink, I will definitely not make any baskets, you are here waiting for my good news." ” After speaking, Zhao Lijin called the Dabao brothers to trot all the way to Jiangyin Fort.
At this time, those artillerymen were there After resting, he went in to find the commander of the garrison, stood up respectfully, and saluted him with a standard military salute.
"Hello sir, I am Zhao Lijin, deputy commander of the special service battalion of the Independent Brigade of the National Army, and I have come to your regiment to discuss matters on the order of the chief of staff."
When the commander of the garrison saw that he was still alive and well before, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, who was very arrogant, suddenly began to chew on words, and suddenly felt very unaccustomed.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, you have something to say, don't be so literate, I don't feel comfortable listening to it."
So, Zhao Lijin got straight to the point and talked about the idea of borrowing anti-aircraft guns.
When the commander of the garrison heard this, he didn't speak for a while, and Zhao Lijin was so anxious that he pondered beside him: "Brother, why don't you give me a letter, isn't it just a few anti-aircraft guns worthy of your caution." ” "Battalion Commander Zhao, although we don't have enough anti-aircraft guns, considering that you have to garrison the Huashan position, I want to find a way to borrow two or three as much as possible, which will also help us guard the battery."
"How much can I borrow?"
Zhao Lijin asked impatiently.
"The 88-mm anti-aircraft gun was complicated to operate, and it was too large to transport.
Well, I'll lend you four 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, along with the guns, but you'll have to write an IOU and give it back to me when the time comes. ” When Zhao Lijin heard that he had lent him four 37mm anti-aircraft guns, he happily patted the shoulder of the garrison commander and said, "Brother, you are too refreshing, you are a man, if you need our help in the future, I will bring someone to arrive immediately." ” "Okay, I hope you can help us in this critical moment."
The commander of the garrison said.
"No problem, if something happens to your fort, my old Zhao will be the first to come to support."
Zhao Lijin made a promise on the spot, at this time he was very proud in his heart, look at it, he either didn't get out of the horse, he borrowed four anti-aircraft guns as soon as he made a move, and he borrowed them together.
When Zhao Lijin returned to the station of the special service battalion with four 37mm anti-aircraft guns and twelve artillery pieces, Ding Ning couldn't believe his eyes when he looked at these anti-aircraft guns.
"Lao Zhao, I can't see it, you kid still has such a hand.
Well, great, we have these four anti-aircraft guns and we don't have to be afraid of the planes of the little devils. ” Ding Ning said excitedly: "Lao Zhai, Lao Zhao has made a lot of contributions this time, and when the brigade comes, I have to talk to him well." ” When Zhao Lijin heard that Ding Ning was going to give him credit, he grinned happily, scratched the back of his head and kept smirking.
The arrival of the anti-aircraft guns made the dull air in the fortifications suddenly lively, especially Ding Ning, who swept away his previous sad face and looked around the four anti-aircraft guns like a child.
Zhang Ercheng of the howitzer battalion saw that his colleagues were coming, and he hurriedly rushed over to ask others for advice on some technical issues.
At this moment, a soldier ran over and reported: "Chief of Staff, Commander Ge of the Second Regiment has arrived. ” Hearing that Ge Sanmin was coming, Ding Ning immediately asked Zhao Lijin to hurry up and arrange these borrowed artillery, and he took Zhai Daping and Gao Xiangfa to walk outside the fortifications.
Ge Sanmin saw Ding Ning with gold-wire glasses at a glance, and he shouted from afar: "Chief of Staff, our second regiment is here, and the brigade seat is behind, and it will be there soon." ” Ding Ning hurriedly caught up and held Ge Sanmin's hand tightly: "Okay, it's good to come, hurry, let's go into the fortifications and talk." ” At the same time, Ding Ning did not forget to greet Sheng Pei, the former head of the 396th Regiment and the current deputy of the Second Regiment.
Sheng Pei saluted Ding Ning and immediately ordered the brothers of the second regiment to enter the fortifications in turn.
As a result, the already small area becomes even more crowded.
When Ding Ning saw this scene, his brows furrowed, fortunately, the little devil's plane did not come to bomb, if a row of shells fell at this time, the independent brigade would almost be finished.
From Ge Sanmin's mouth, Ding Ning learned that Zhou Wu would arrive in Jiangyin in two hours, he looked at the time, and it was now two o'clock in the afternoon.
Ding Ning used the radio to communicate with Zhou Wu, and carefully explained his idea of deploying troops in the Huashan position, and then by the way, Zhao Lijin borrowed four anti-aircraft guns from the battery.
Zhou Wu agreed with Ding Ning's battle plan and ordered him to implement it quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Ding Ning put down the radio and ordered the four regiments to immediately rush to the Huashan position to garrison, led by Zhao Lijin, and at the same time bring the four 37-mm anti-aircraft guns together.
Ding Ning repeatedly told Gao Xiang that after he arrived at the place, he must build an antiaircraft artillery position and do a good job of camouflage protection.
As for the 2nd Regiment, it was active in the fortifications near the special service battalion.
Gao Xiangfa didn't say a word, and immediately gathered the brothers of the fourth regiment, and the goal went straight to the Huashan position.
Zhao Lijin acted as a guide, and when they came to the Huashan position, Gao Xiangfa briefly looked at the terrain here, with a solemn look on his face, and his brows were tightly locked.
"Lao Zhao, the wild grass in this fortification is taller than people, I plan to burn them all with fire, so that it will be fast, good and clean."
Zhao Lijin shook his head again and again, and said, "Commander Gao, I'm afraid not, the little devil is on the other side, if you set a fire, it will definitely attract their attention."
I think it's better to let the brothers work harder, and cut the weeds with knives, and they don't have to cut them all, just figure out the entrances and exits. ” t1706231537:
