Chapter 042 The Ironclad

"Brothers, let's go!"

"Crack... click, click... click, click..."

Baoshan City West, Cemetery.

Amid the hoarse roars of the commander of the Eighth Battalion, the fifty brothers who were still standing in the Eighth Battalion used gunshots to send off the bodies of a new batch of brothers who had sacrificed their lives for the country.

Seeing the brothers wrapped in white cloth and rolled up with mats being buried one by one in this huge grave, the faces of the soldiers of the Eighth Battalion were numb, cold, and without any expression.

of!

The war has reached this point. A full battalion of nearly 600 people now only has the strength of a reinforced platoon!

It is precisely because of the war that these originally vivid and vivid faces have become numb, cold, and incompatible with people in society! Because in their eyes, life is no longer so important! No matter it is

What belongs to others is still your own!

The Eighth Battalion's defensive mission in Baoshan City was over. It was supposed to evacuate Baoshan to rest behind, but the order from above had not yet come down. So, these fifty veterans, together with their battalion commander and company commander, became the Baoshan City

The most unique group of people among them.

Because the performance of the Eighth Battalion was very dazzling in the entire Songhu Battle!

So everyone knows that when the battle is over and rewards are given, the commander of the eighth battalion is designated to be promoted! Even the two company commanders and the platoon leaders and squad leaders will follow the chickens and dogs to heaven!

In a sense, these remaining veterans are all direct descendants of the Eighth Battalion Commander! They are the closest subordinates!

However, until the order is issued, the Eighth Battalion Commander is still the Eighth Battalion Commander, and the First Company Commander is still the First Company Commander, and his position cannot be changed!

If the eighth battalion commander dies at this time, the third battalion commander can take these more than fifty veterans of hundreds of battles under his command! Because such veterans are absolutely precious! With these more than fifty people, the level of cadres under his command will immediately rise.

A big step!

It is even feasible to pull these fifty-odd people out to expand their capacity and form a regiment! At the very least, there are enough military cadres like platoons, companies, and battalions!

But here is the crux of the problem! The Eighth Battalion Commander is still there, and these people are still from the Eighth Battalion. The Third Battalion is guarding Baoshan, and these people cannot be transferred! Unless there is an order from above! But where is the order?

The 68th Regiment's attack failed and suffered heavy losses. Kaneda Nagao bore the main blame. However, considering that the 68th Regiment suffered heavy losses and lacked generals, he was given an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. As soon as new recruits were added to the team, the 68th Regiment was

A new offensive will be launched!

Of course, this takes time!

The third camp also needs time!

In the entire Songhu battlefield, the focus of the war has shifted from Shanghai to this side!

To the northwest, Luodian, the Flesh and Flesh Mill, has opened its bloody mouth. The Japanese 11th Division and the bald men have successively arrived from various armies and divisions to start a life-and-death offensive and defensive battle in Luodian!

They fought fiercely on every street, every house, and every inch of land! Every inch of mountains and rivers was truly bloody!

To the southeast, Wusong Town was also surrounded and attacked by the Japanese 3rd Division, as well as various important military locations along the way, all of which were fought over in bloody battles!

Only Baoshan City fell into a short period of tranquility because the Eighth Battalion beat the 68th Regiment so hard.

The eighth battalion commander understood it, the third battalion commander also understood it, and Hu Yizhou understood it from the history books. When the Japanese attack again, it will not be like this! At least Baoshan City will be a place where Japanese artillery shells are raging!

"Have all the wounded been sent away?"

When the eighth battalion commander met the third battalion commander, the third battalion commander’s first words were this!

"Send them all away!" said the Eighth Battalion Commander.

"Just send them away! Where are the doctors and nurses at the medical station?"

"Refuse to leave!"

"They should leave! After a war like this, do we still need doctors and nurses?"

"The main thing is that they are women! Facing the extremely vicious Japanese, they will be even more miserable!"

"yes!"

"Senior, I need your help!"

"I understand! But I can't get rid of the last details of the Eighth Battalion, can I? Everything will wait for orders!"

"I see!"

"However, I recommend someone to you! A very capable person! He accounts for more than half of the credit for our success!"

"Appreciate further details……"

There are still six soldiers left under Hu Yizhou! They are still six soldiers who are old, weak, sick and disabled! Fang Hao, Du Wei, Master Xu, Sun Xiaobao, Sun Dali, and Xiao Mozi.

Blind Li died when he blew up a tank, Wang Guaizi was killed by a grenade fired by the Japs in revenge, Zhang Ze was hit in the head by the Japs on the roof...

The Eighth Battalion Commander did not say anything about assigning these six soldiers to other places, so Hu Yizhou acquiesced that they were his subordinates! So, he began to train them!

After the 82 was pulled out, it was completely unusable! But this did not prevent Hu Yizhou from using this broken gun to train his men to become familiar with the operation of the mortar.

"I won't say much more. Now the Japanese have no time to attack, so we have a little time! So, listen carefully to me! This artillery fire is very simple! I don't need you to know how to aim and measure ballistics, I just

We need you to be able to quickly disassemble the mortar and carry it away, and also quickly assemble it!"

"Master Xu! You are in charge of this table, Du Wei, you are in charge of the barrel, and Xiaomei is in charge of the mount! Sun Dali, Sun Xiaobao, Fang Hao, you three are responsible for resisting the artillery shells! Fang Hao is also responsible for firing the artillery shells for me!"

"Now, break it down and carry it away! Hurry up!"

Hu Yizhou didn't bother to spell out the professional artillery vocabulary, and they couldn't understand it, so he simply taught them in plain language! Anyway, he himself was not a professional artilleryman in later generations, so that was good!

After a morning of training, the six people had a clear division of labor and could serve as an artillery team. Hu Yizhou let them go and gave them half a day to spare.

Of course, Master Xu was recruited by Hu Yizhou!

The reason? Master Xu can make iron!

In Lao Zheng's blacksmith shop, the blacksmith was even pushed away by Master Zheng in a big cart, leaving only a charcoal stove without a grate.

Fortunately, Hu Yizhou and his people found suitable things from other houses and brought them out! Even things like bellows were brought over and installed!

"Master Xu, let me help you. Let's make two daggers according to this drawing!" Hu Yizhou took out a piece of white paper, on which was a drawing of a dagger he drew with a pencil. This dagger was the one he once made.

The one you are best at using.

"Okay! This can be beaten out! How can you let me find the enemy's shrapnel? That's what feelings are for! Okay! Use the knife made from the ghost's shrapnel to kill the enemy! It's fun!"
