Chapter 17

Early the next morning, Cheng Mo picked up his backpack and left, not waiting for Jiang Yun to wake up, he was afraid that he was not strong willed ……

This batch of additional soldiers to reinforce the 262nd Brigade consisted of five to six hundred people, who were urgently drawn up from the rear, they looked tired and bewildered, and obviously didn’t know what they were going to face next.

Cheng Mo talked with them casually and realized that they were drawn from local security forces in Jiangxi, Anhui and Hubei.

Although these people supplemented into the army, but some of them only carry a gun for a month, bullets have not played a few, so the combat effectiveness, want to fight with the ferocious and cruel ghost soldiers, this is really worrying.

This is not cannon fodder!

Not to mention that Cheng Mo now an ordinary people know that this battle can not be won, not to mention those who are familiar with the military affairs of the senior generals?

The strategy of space for time is right, but the war has reached this point, it should be decisive, give up with the Japanese army an inch of territory an inch of territory to fight.

Some people look forward and backward, sufferings and losses, as well as unrealistic fantasies about the Western powers, is simply stupid.

But all this Cheng Mo can not stop, he just want to return to the 524th Regiment 1st Battalion.

Continue to work with the ghosts!

He hadn’t killed any ghosts in ten days, so he felt that his bones were rusty, and he couldn’t wait to touch his gun.

When he was hospitalized, he summed up his battle experience in the past week or so. In the next battle, he should pay attention to what he should pay attention to, and what he should avoid should be avoided.

Some previous mistakes, lucky nothing happened, does not mean that it will not be in the future, on the battlefield, any negligence and carelessness, is fatal.

Guanyintang brigade command headquarters.

“Old Peng, that Cheng Mo kid is back, I just received a call from the hospital.” The Chief of Staff came over to Brigade Commander Peng Ying’s ear and whispered.

“This kid is finally back, I kind of understand why the 524th Regiment always sent people to the hospital a while ago, the problem lies with this kid.” Peng Ying slammed his fist on the table.

“The casualties reported by the first battalion in the past few days have increased significantly, and the number of killed and wounded Japanese soldiers has also decreased quite a lot, and my humble servant suspects that ……”

“Related to Cheng Mo?”

“Yes, we collect Japanese related intelligence mentioned a character codenamed ‘Old K’, killed and wounded countless Japanese troops, listed on the Japanese must-kill list, any Japanese soldier who can kill Old K will be able to rise three levels in a row and rewarded 50,000 yen.”

“Yoohoo, that much?” Peng Ying was startled, fifty thousand yen, that’s pretty high, or a reward for a National Army soldier.

“Old Peng, this news from the Japanese side says that this ‘Old K’ has disappeared from the battlefield in recent times, and the period of time he disappeared is the period of time Cheng Mo went to the hospital to recuperate from his injuries.” The Chief of Staff said.

“You’re saying that this ‘Old K’ is this Cheng Mo kid, can’t be, you didn’t find that Yang Ruifu kid to ask?”

“That kid’s mouth is now like an old tailor’s door, as long as the mention of Cheng Mo, left to talk about it, or not to give you a Tai Chi, anyway, is not a word of truth, and then asked that people Cheng Mo is not his soldiers, not under his control, and do not know.” The chief of staff is also helpless.

“What about Han Xianyuan, he’s a regimental commander, what happened to his own defense zone troops, he doesn’t know?”

“Don’t mention it, I asked, a mouth rebuffed me, said I don’t know, there is no such thing, but also said that it is the little kid side intentionally put the news to create a rumor it ……”

“Is it him, look at the next performance of this first battalion will not know.” Peng Ying nodded and commanded, “Since you came back, then wherever you came from, go back.”

“Oh come on, I’ll make the arrangements.”

“Wait, this matter can not let the field investigation team know ……,” Peng Ying explained.

Back to the first battalion, Cheng Mo was overjoyed, and gave Wu Jianfeng a big hug, then asked about the others, who came together in the first place.

In addition to Wu Jianfeng, Kui Zi and Lao Miao and Dachun, all sacrificed.

Cheng Mo’s nose immediately sour, when he went to be injured, everyone is still good, how can he go, people are gone.

Although the time they spent together was short, the feelings of fighting together and being born to die could not be measured in time.

Of course, now they are in the position is not the original position, with the large-scale increase in Japanese troops, the national army in Shanghai West and Shanghai North battlefield and the Japanese army, although the Japanese army to pay heavy casualties, but also broke their “three days to occupy Shanghai” wild talk, but they are still the establishment of a solid landing site, and began to advance to the depths.

The national army side casualties are even greater, the troops were wiped out in formation, many people battlefield survival time is not twenty-four hours, a live life has become a string of cold figures.

“Xiao Mo came back, it’s still the same as before, with you as the main focus, forming a battle group, where you need to go, the rest of the time you are free to fight!” Wu Jianfeng said.

“I want Kui Zi, Lao Miao and Da Chun, the three of them.” Cheng Mo nodded, since he had returned, he would try to save as many people as possible who had fought with him in the first place, besides, familiar people were easy to work with.

“I’ve been promoted a grade, I’m now a lieutenant deputy company commander, Kui Zi is now a platoon leader as well, Lao Miao and Da Chun are now squad leaders, but it’s okay, the battalion commander said that as long as you come back, everything will be based on you!” Wu Jianfeng sniffed his nose.

He was a deputy company commander, a grassroots commander now, so naturally, he couldn’t act at will alongside Cheng Mo.

“Thank you Company Vice Wu.”

“Don’t, it’s still the same as before, just call Brother Wu, you’re not considered a soldier under me.” Wu Jianfeng quickly waved his hand and said, “Let me first introduce you to our battalion’s combat situation during the time you were away ……”

Cheng Mo briefly understood the situation of the first battalion, after he left, the Japanese concentrated their firepower on the position where the first battalion was and retaliated with return fire.

The first battalion suffered a lot of casualties and could only give up their original positions and contracted their defenses backward, giving up most of their original defensive positions.

The Japanese army then followed, building fortifications and bunkers, Sakata died, replaced by a rival, do not know the name, like to charge to fight a white-knuckle battle.

The quality of the soldiers of the first battalion replenished is definitely inferior to the other side, and there are really a lot of deaths and injuries, which is completely different from the time when Cheng Mo was there.

The casualties of the first battalion have been large.

Of course, even if Cheng Mo was there, encountered such, can not play much of a role, is only to shoot a few more ghosts, can only delay the Japanese attack, the impact on the overall situation is not great, not to mention that the focus of the Japanese attack is not in their defense area, but in the direction of the field.

The Japanese wanted to cut off the national army in the northern and western Shanghai battlefields, divide and encircle them, and annihilate them, and Dafang became a key place to fight for.

For the national army, the Japanese army has advanced to the line of Yunzao Bin, behind it, Daba has become the last line of defense to defend Shanghai.

If Daba is lost, it will mark the failure of the Second Battle of Songhu, which is unacceptable to the national government and even to all Chinese people.

In order to ensure that the field will not be lost, the old man constantly from the local troops, almost all of China’s troops have been drawn over.

The National Army had utilized nearly seven hundred thousand troops on the Songhu front, while the Japanese army had almost requisitioned more than two hundred thousand troops today.

Cheng Mo got his own gun, is the first encounter with the ghosts plainclothes soldiers captured a three-eighths large cap, not that this gun performance how good, just this is his life in the first rifle, not to mention that he also used this rifle shot hundreds of ghosts.

This rifle was given to Wu Jianfeng for safekeeping after he was injured, and now that he is back, this rifle is naturally back in his hands.

Since this rifle had returned to his master’s hands, it meant that the “Old K” who had once kept the ghosts across the street awake at night had returned.

“Old buddy, let’s keep fighting!” Cheng Mo wiped the gun inside and out, then tried the bolt again, and received 120 rounds of ammunition directly from the quartermaster, he was the only one in the whole battalion, as long as he wanted, there were enough bullets.

Smoke filled the air, and the attack of the ghosts came as expected.

They were tactical as always.

After the artillery bombardment, the infantry rushed, remarkable plus a “foot and tank” synergy, is simple infantry followed the tank charge.

This tactic is very primitive, but against the more crotch pulling national army, seems to be a downward strike, no way, no money, no equipment, can only use human life to fight.

Japanese tanks in World War II, the most pull crotch, almost all the body is a weakness, with the eyes of the later generations to see, that is a touch on the guy.

But this guy, in the Chinese battlefield is almost unbeatable existence, because the Chinese army themselves do not have tanks, fight tanks with war defense guns are also very few.

Only with local methods, set up barriers, mud pits and smoke, smoke interference tank driver line of sight and so on.

The only way to take out a tank is to get close enough to fight with human lives, which is too expensive.

Molotov cocktails are a good way, especially against the thin-skinned “bean chariot” is quite a good weapon, locally sourced, inexpensive, effective, this method, Cheng Mo naturally unreservedly taught to Wu Jianfeng.

Wu Jianfeng bull knife small test, successfully destroyed two Japanese tanks, wounded three, so that the Japanese proud of the chariot troops to rest.

Wu Jianfeng also became famous in one battle, and became the 88th Division’s famous “tank killer”.

And Wu Jianfeng know, this credit is Cheng Mo’s, just he did not want, hard to let him just, with this credit, he will go in the army road a little smoother.

Cheng Mo, on the other hand, continued to do his old job, weaving in and out of the front line, using his uncanny marksmanship to harvest the lives of ghosts one after another.

He no longer bothered to record how many he had killed, but only cared about one word: kill!
