Luodian is a small town in Shanghai. It is said that this place was a wilderness in ancient times. Since a man named Luo Sheng opened a small shop here, more and more shops of all kinds have developed into a collection. The city, hence the name Luodian.
Perhaps it is because Luodian was originally developed from a market. This small town with a total area of ??2.32 square kilometers has six to seven hundred shops, including pawn shops, flower shops, rice shops, cloth shops, and soy sauce gardens so much so that we walked When you enter this town, you can see all kinds of signboards. As you can imagine, this town must have been bustling with people, cars and boats before.
In fact, there is a constant flow of people and cars and boats now, but they are not the customers who come to buy, but the people of Luodian Town are busy transporting the goods to leave when Little Japan is about to be beaten, so the adults are busy and the children are making noise everywhere. A chaotic scene.
Of course, we are not here to buy, we are here because of its special geographical location
As the Chief of Education said, the two divisions of the Japanese left-wing army will land in the Wusongkou, Shizilin, and Chuanshakou areas. There is no doubt that this army is the main force of the Japanese army. If these two divisions are allowed to The regiment successfully landed Then they can divide their troops into two groups, one group going straight to the left flank of our army, and the other group going straight into the back of our army to complete the encirclement of our army.
Therefore, anti-landing operations are inevitable. Luodian is right in the middle of Wusongkou, Shizilin and Chuanshakou. For the army, Luodian is the link connecting the two divisions on the left and right. For the Japanese army, as long as they can defeat Luodian, they can use Luodian as a breakthrough to divide and surround the country. On the contrary, it will be difficult to move forward. So this originally inconspicuous town suddenly became the focus of attention for both the enemy and ourselves, and our support troops were arranged here.
When we hurriedly passed through Luodian Town and reached the front line, there was already a brightly armored army digging trenches on a high ground. I'm not surprised by this. We came here to support, right? If the ** troops have enough strength, they won¡¯t need us.
What makes me feel a little uncomfortable is that those ** soldiers are not from any army. When our team came up, they didn't even raise their eyelids, let alone say hello.
"Damn it!" Chen Dali couldn't help but cursed when he saw this look. We are here to help them fight, right? It's as if we are here to seize their territory? "
I¡¯m also a little surprised. We are all soldiers who have just come off the battlefield. It can be said that they should be able to see that everyone is covered in mud or blood. Besides, even if you can't see the blood on our bodies, you can still see the brand-new Japanese equipment in our hands, right? This thing is no joke. At least so far, there are not many teams that can be equipped with Japanese weapons in batches.
Platoon leader Chi accidentally ran up to those Japanese soldiers and took a look, then spat and cursed, "Grandma, he killed soldiers from the 18th Army, no wonder they were dragged like this."
"From the Eighteenth Army" The soldiers couldn't help but yelled when they heard this, as if they took their performance for granted.
I also know something about the Eighteenth Army. It is said that they have been fighting since the warlords started fighting, and all of them are veterans. This army is also known as Chen Cheng's "pillar of the civil system". The word "tu" when broken down is "eleven", and the word "wood" when broken down is "eighteen", which refer to the Eighteenth Army and the Tenth Army respectively. The 11th Division, the backbone of the Eighth Army.
I know them because after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek called the five most powerful and well-equipped units among the Japanese troops the five main forces of the Communist Party of China, including the 18th Army. From this, you can imagine what contributions they made during the eight years of the War of Resistance.
Of course, I think the German Armsmen are also fully qualified to join the five main forces, but it is a pity that they were basically wiped out after the Battle of Nanjing.
"Che" Although the monkey man is young, he is very courageous. He said a little unconvinced that there are great ace troops. Whether he is a real ace depends on who fights more Japanese. "
"That's right" other warriors also said eagerly that ace cards are not trump cards, they must be really able to fight."
Some soldiers waved their hands at the soldiers of the Eighteenth Army without showing any signs of weakness and shouted, "Hey, are you a mule or a horse? Come out and run around. If you have the guts, let's compete on the battlefield."
I didn¡¯t stop the soldiers¡¯ behavior because I thought soldiers should be a little arrogant. In fact, this cannot be said to be arrogant, but should be called a kind of arrogance. There is no doubt that this kind of arrogance can make us more determined and confident to face the enemy on the battlefield.
The soldiers of the 18th Army were not there yet, perhaps because of the discipline constraints, so they did not dare to take any action. They just looked at us with disdain and continued to dig trenches. From this point of view, their military discipline is not good, but in contrast, our fifteenthThe group seemed to have become a mess.
Instead, a man who looked like an officer came out of nowhere, holding a cigarette and looking us up and down, then raised his head and said Bibi? Just you? "
As he said that, he blew out a puff of smoke extremely arrogantly onto the little monkey's face and said with a smile that he belongs to the 59th Army. Did Peiping lose it? Was Tianjin lost? Let me tell you, you were still wearing crotchless pants when I was fighting. Just do your own thing."
Hearing this, I was so angry that I stood in front of the officer and asked, "Why don't you ask who burned the Japanese independent brigade in Nanyuan?" Why don't you ask who is responsible for the Japanese headquarters in Haiguang Temple? I can also tell you"
¡°I stared at the officer in front of me and said word by word: We killed more little Japanese than you eat, so don¡¯t take it too seriously.¡±
"Well," the officer looked at me with a smile instead of anger, and said with interest. You must be from the 15th Regiment. I've also heard about those things. You also took down the little devil's Marine Corps. The headquarters handed over a lot of equipment. "
At this point, the officer took a look at the rifle with a scope in my hand, squinted his eyes and pretended not to care, and said, "Boy, let me tell you, this job of being a soldier and fighting is not a day or two." You can practice it, but it doesn't just require good equipment, especially for tough battles, do you understand? "Don't skip words.
¡°I¡¯m telling you too,¡± I replied without any sign of weakness. Being a soldier and fighting in a war is not just about fighting too many battles. A milling mule will still go around in circles no matter how long it takes.¡±
With a cry of "coaxing", the soldiers couldn't help but get confused by my words. The officer's face turned red and white with anger, but he couldn't find anything to say to refute me, so he just nodded. He said sternly, "Okay, okay Let's compete. Whoever is afraid in front of the devil will be his **** grandson."
As he said that, he turned around and left angrily.
"The soldiers may have done it on purpose. Before the officer could walk away, they started yelling again. Some even loudly praised me and said that the company commander's words are as powerful as the gun in his hand."
"
I didn¡¯t pay attention to what the soldiers said, but I saw the officer¡¯s back paused slightly, obviously very angry, so I felt more and more happy.
Soon the order came down and we were arranged to deploy on the right wing of the army. It was obvious that we were participating in the battle as a reserve force. But this doesn¡¯t seem strange. We are a mixed army, and it is the 59th Army that just lost Pingjin and is carrying the shame Isn¡¯t this? Our numbers are all "seven plus seven". Not to mention that the unit we are cooperating with is the ace unit of the Central Army. Even if it is an ordinary army, we will not be allowed to play the main force.
It¡¯s just that I¡¯m also happy to do such a thing. Backup work means fewer chances of fighting, right? Less chances of fighting means less danger, right? The best thing for me is to leave the backup work to me every time.
As soon as I arrived at the position with the team, I started digging foxholes Only then did I vaguely feel in my heart that the officer's words had some truth. This kind of fighting cannot be practiced in one or two days. For example, digging this In the trenches, it looks easy but is difficult to do.
Firstly, we have never received any training in this area before, so we don¡¯t know how to dig trenches and configure firepower. Fortunately, each of our teams has several veterans as instructors, so this work has to be directed by the veterans.
Another thing is that this place is close to the sea, and the groundwater is so rich that it is almost impossible to see. Before the trench was dug to half a person's height, water seeped into the trench back and forth. After a while, the trench became a "ditch" "
"Company Commander" Monkey felt troubled when he looked at this trench. He dug out a pile of mud from the bottom of the "trench" and said, "You said such a trench can it hide people?" If we dig any further, we may all be flooded.¡±
"Let's just concentrate on digging." The old squad leader turned around and said now, you still think you can't hide from people, but when the little devil attacks you, you will still think it's not deep enough."
The old squad leader¡¯s words are obviously right, because we have all seen the power of Japanese artillery, especially their large-caliber naval guns. Butwhat if we dug trenches and built fortifications? Can such loose soil block the enemy's aircraft and artillery? I have no confidence at all in this.
But even though I was unwilling, even though I even doubted whether this fortification would work, I still had to force myself to continue digging. For nothing else, just to be a soldier, just to be a company commander, just because this trench may save my life in future battles although it is only possible
