After listening to Zhao Lijin's suggestion, Gao Xiangfa immediately ordered everyone to clean up the barren grass, and the two thousand people cleaned up the Huashan position in less than half an hour.
For the locks in the national defense fortifications, Gao Xiangfa thought the same as Zhao Lijin, the small ones were simply smashed with things, and the big ones were blown up with explosives.
It turns out that violence is always the most direct way to solve the problem, and there is not much time, and all the locks in the fortifications have been broken.
As soon as Gao Xiangfa entered, he saw all kinds of ammunition, clothing, and weapons in the warehouse, piled up there, a little moldy.
"Damn, Lao Tzu is desperately fighting little devils on the front line, and these bastards in the rear actually let these military supplies rot in the warehouse, what a sin."
Gao Xiang scolded.
Zhao Lijin rushed up with an arrow step and touched the ammunition with his hand, due to the long storage time, coupled with the rainy and humid air in Jiangyin, most of the ammunition piled up in the warehouse had deteriorated due to moisture.
Seeing that so much ammunition could not be used, Zhao Lijin couldn't help but explode into foul language, and kept scolding those officials who were eating hard in the rear, allowing these precious materials to be wasted.
Dabao walked over, picked up a light machine gun casually, and immediately said excitedly: "Deputy battalion commander, look, these guns can still be used." ” Because these guns have a thick layer of oil on the outside, they don't rust even in such a humid environment.
Gao Xiangfa asked someone to pick out all the things that could be used in the warehouse and leave them for the brigade commander to distribute later.
So, Zhao Lijin took Dabao to tinker in the warehouse, and in less than a while, they found two usable 75mm mountain guns and several boxes of shells.
There are many people and great strength, and the brothers of the fourth regiment were busy for a while, and finally sorted and cleaned up the things in the warehouse.
Gao Xiangfa told everyone to put the weapons and ammunition that could be used on the left, and if they expired or could not be used, they would be taken outside to dig a pit and bury them.
The damp expiry is basically explosives, and the bullets and shells are not very effective because of the layer of metal on the outside, and they can barely be used.
After tidying up the warehouse, Gao Xiangfa asked someone to place the four borrowed anti-aircraft guns, and carefully camouflaged them around the gun emplacement.
Just when Gao Xiangfa was busy, the sentry came to report: "Regiment commander, the brigade seat is here" Hearing this, Gao Xiangfa couldn't turn around all of a sudden, thinking to himself what the brigade was doing here, it could be that they rushed here directly as soon as they arrived in Jiangyin. couldn't figure it out, Gao Xiangfa had to quickly take someone out to greet him.
Outside the fortifications, Zhou Wu, Fatty, Wang Ding, and Ding Ning were coming over slowly.
Gao Xiangfa "snapped" and saluted: "Report to the brigade, the fourth regiment is here on the order of the chief of staff, please instruct." ” "Lao Gao, you guys are fast enough, as soon as we arrived in Jiangyin, Lao Ding told me that Huashan is a very important strategic place, so I'll come over to take a look at it right away."
"Yes, I think this place is good for blocking the Japanese landing force, the only regret is that there is no artillery support from the battery here."
Gao Xiangfa picked up the telescope and took a look, only to see that the fort and the Huashan position were at a right angle, and the most important thing was that Huashan was still behind the fort, and those cannons could not turn 360 degrees, so it happened to be in the dead angle of the fort's shooting.
"Lao Gao, in view of the fact that the fourth regiment has no artillery support, I will transfer the howitzer battalion of our brigade to you, and when the time comes, I will ask the military department for a few cannons and hand them over to the fourth regiment for use, I don't ask for anything else, as long as you give me a firm nail to this Huashan position."
When Gao Xiangfa heard that Zhou Wu had placed the howitzer battalion under his command, he was so happy that he danced with his hands, and he immediately said: "Brigade seat, you can rest assured, our four regiments promise to hold the Huashan position, and never let the devils step past here." ” Subsequently, Zhou Wu took a few turns around the Huashan position, and said to Ding Ning seriously: "Old Ding, the location of the Huashan position is extremely important, guarding the throat leading to Jiangyin from the Yangtze River and Changshu, I always feel that it is too little to put only one four regiments. ” "Otherwise, let's let the fourth regiment be stationed here for the time being today, and when we go back, we will discuss it again, how about it" Ding Ning nodded in agreement, it was almost evening at this time, Zhai Daping sent someone to inform Zhou Wu, saying that they had prepared a meal and were waiting for him to go back to celebrate.
Zhou Wu said helplessly: "Lao Zhai is really, what is there to celebrate, we didn't come back from winning the battle in Changshu, but evacuated in embarrassment." ” "But since Lao Zhai insists on being the east, then we naturally can't ruin his interest.
Lao Ding ordered all officers above the battalion commander to go to Lao Zhai, and after eating, they just had a meeting, killing two birds with one stone. ” Ding Ning immediately called for someone to inform the officers above the battalion to hurry up to the special service battalion for dinner.
As for the dinner of the other brothers, Zhai Daping had already sent someone to the Huashan position, and the soldiers of the national army, who had not eaten a hot meal for almost two days, saw such a fragrant and hot meal, and their stomachs suddenly growled.
One by one, regardless of the image, they brought the food and devoured it for a while.
Zhai Daping had been waiting for Zhou Wu's arrival, but when he saw that Zhou Wu finally came, he hurriedly called someone to open a meal.
Zhou Wu saw that there was still wine on the table, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhai, I have received your wishes, but now is a special period, so the wine will be exempted, and besides, we will have a meeting later, which is not good." ” Zhai Daping just wanted to explain, but Ding Ning interjected: "Brigade, Lao Zhai doesn't mean anything else, he just wants to take advantage of the reunion of our independent brigade in Jiangyin today, and everyone is happy to have a few drinks."
I told Lao Zhai that it will definitely not affect the next meeting. ” Hearing what Ding Ning said, Zhou Wu had to nod in agreement.
Subsequently, the guests sat down, and everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and the food was not lively.
After eating, Zhou Wu asked Ding Ning to cash in the ocean that should have been rewarded to the warriors in the battle one by one, so that the brothers who received the ocean couldn't keep their mouths together.
After the meritorious deeds were rewarded, Zhou Wu cleared his throat and said: "Brothers, now that our independent brigade has arrived in Jiangyin, I don't need to say more about the importance here."
"Everyone knows very well that Jiangyin is the last geographical barrier in Nanjing, once Jiangyin is lost, then we can only retreat outside the city of Nanjing, so defending Jiangyin is actually defending Nanjing, and now you all talk about how to hold Jiangyin and not be occupied by the Japanese army."
The fat man led a lot of oceans this time, and he was very happy in his heart, and when he heard Zhou Wu ask for the opinion of Shou Jiangyin, he was the first to respond.
"Brigade seat, I think that in order to defend Jiangyin City, we must first defend Jiangyin Fort, and the Huashan position cannot be lost.
But in this way, the troops we have on hand are not enough, and if we can defend Huashan, we will no longer be able to defend the fort, and vice versa. ” t1706231537:
