Chapter 199 Material Delivery
At noon on September 8, 1937, just when the outside world was chaotic, Baoshan County was already ready to welcome the materials allocated by Chairman Jiang and the troops of a regiment.
The south gate of Baoshan County, eight heavy machine guns on the city gate stand neatly like the guards of the god of death. The dark muzzle radiates light under the sun, as if telling the terribleness of its existence. A series of soldiers around it are constantly carrying boxes of ammunition, as if they are about to usher in a big battle&1t;/p>
Indeed, the south gate of Baoshan is the top priority of the entire Baoshan County. According to the information we have received, a certain unit that was heading to Baoshan to transport supplies has entered the scope of Baoshan County and will be within one hour to reach the south gate. At this time, the Japanese army still thought that this route was one of the troops heading to Luodian, and did not think that they would suddenly turn around and enter Baoshan County.
If it weren't for planning in advance, I wouldn't dare to enter the scope of Baoshan County. Because the Third War Zone had already notified that a large number of Japanese troops had accumulated around Baoshan County. According to the information available for information from this regiment, Japanese troops surrounded the entire Baoshan County. Even though many of them were forcibly eliminated by the 318th Brigade, there are still nearly 14,000 Japanese troops around Baoshan County, eyeing each other&1t;/p>
The 318th Brigade is not afraid of the Japanese army's crazy attack, but ordinary troops are still very afraid of the Japanese army's combat effectiveness. It is not that the combat effectiveness is not good. On the contrary, the overall quality of the soldiers is still good. As the saying goes, a soldier is a soldier and a bunch of senior Kuomintang officers. Although many senior Kuomintang officers are from Huangpu, their foundation is not good. Many people serve the country with their passion, but how many truly talented people can be? Talent does not mean knowledge, but the talent to lead troops to fight. Some people are born with such talents, but most people do not have it&1t;/p>
Therefore, the combat power is uneven. If there is a good commander, the situation on the entire Songhu battlefield will not be so bad now. Many generals immediately retreat and retain their strength and morale when they see that the situation is wrong. This is invisible and intangible. It is purely increasing and declining. Therefore, it has formed a feeling that it feels very powerful when seeing the Japanese army, so that in the end dozens of Japanese can chase a regiment and a brigade, or even a division running around the world. This has to be said to be a kind of sad&1t;/p>
After receiving the order, a certain regiment was in a cold sweat. The commander was named Li Shi, who was from Tianjin. He participated in the Northern Expedition in his early years and was also a relatively experienced regiment commander. He was neither born in Huangpu nor had a strong background. It was not easy to be able to get to the level of a regiment commander in the Central Army&1t;/p>
When Li Shi received the task this time, he carefully analyzed the situation in Baoshan. Although the plan is still relatively likely, it is undoubtedly very difficult to rush into Baoshan County where a large number of Japanese troops are stationed. However, now his regiment has been divided into the 318th Brigade by the Supreme Command. This is only true. Once the boss dislikes him and treats him as cannon fodder, he has no place to cry. After all, this is during the war. Any subordinate who keeps ordering has the right to execute him&1t;/p>
Li Shi originally thought that he would apply to let another group go, but he didn't do it. It's a big taboo to be afraid before fighting. Li Shi's goal is not a leader. Li Shi, 36 years old, feels that he still has a lot of room for improvement. So-called wealth and honor are sought in danger. Li Shi took this idea and decided to bet on his life once&1t;/p>
However, Li Shi also analyzed that the probability of successful gambling is too low. First, we have to complete the task. The probability of completing the task can be said to be half to half. In other words, the possibility of completing the task is about 50%. However, this is the first and second step, and the probability is low. In the face of the Japanese bombardment for two months, Baoshan County can really hold on for two months. Anyway, Li Shi has no confidence.
However, Li Shi repeatedly studied his superior Wang Mingyu. He found that this boss was really powerful in war. He had eliminated nearly 30,000 Japanese troops and 30,000 Japanese troops. A division and two regiments of Japanese troops. The most important thing is that their number has never exceeded 10,000. Now relying on the terrain of Baoshan, Li Shi felt that he was still a little sure enough to defend for two months. Therefore, the probability of Li Shi defending the city was estimated to be 20%&1t;/p>
In other words, if the first and second steps are completed, he will have only 10% chance of survival. Isn’t this the legendary life-threatening thing? Li Shi has nothing to be afraid of. Chairman Jiang said that if he fails, he will become a ren. From the moment Li Shi decided to go to Baoshan, his fate has no choice but to be determined by Li Shi himself. Is it a blessing or a disaster? I will know in the end&1t;/p>
This first step must be completed. At least after it is completed, Li Shi doubled his chance of survival. His life is only once, who dares not cherish it&1t;/p>
Li Shi was also very nervous when he was carrying so many supplies along the way. He was afraid that he would encounter Japanese planes or Japanese troops at any time. Basically, even if his regiment could successfully break through, it would be a death sentence. This batch of supplies was the supplies of the entire Baoshan city guards. Once it was lost, it would be a foregone conclusion to engage in military law.
Li Shi was worried, but his small force in the eyes of the Japanese army did not attract any attention from the Japanese army. The Japanese army is most anxious now to rush to Luodian, rather than to block the small force gathered from all directions. The Japanese army's idea was to go to Luodian and let them concentrate on cleaning up together&1t;/p>
Li Shi looked at his location on the map, and his heart was already in his throat. It was only half an hour away from the south gate of Baoshan County. In other words, there were still twenty minutes left to meet the Japanese army stationed outside the south gate. The battle seemed to be inevitable. Wang Mingyu and others blamed him for asking them to go to the south gate. He did not say that the Japanese defenders at the south gate had been urgently transferred to Luodian&1t;/p>
The Japanese defenders at the south gate were urgently allocated to Luodian. The troops of Major General Tiangu Yixiong, the 12th Brigade of the reinforcements, will come in three hours. Li Shi's chance is only three hours. Now one and a half hours have passed, and only one and a half hours are left for them&1t;/p>
We must arrive at Baoshan County as soon as possible. The longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for my troops. Li Shi thought in his heart, so he shouted loudly: The whole regiment is ready for battle, and advance forward&1t;/p>
The huge team headed straight to the south gate. Zhang Deen also looked anxiously in the distance. Finally, in his telescope, he saw many trucks and soldiers coming towards the south gate. Zhang Deen immediately ordered: Go down and prepare for opening the city gate, and all of them are ready to fight in case of an accident&1t;/p>
At the south gate, all the soldiers were on high alert. They didn't know what they were going to face. These plans were only at the top of the board of directors. Ordinary soldiers didn't know what to do next.
Li Shi saw that he was less than one kilometer away from Baoshan County, but there was no sign of the Japanese army. He was puzzled, but his steps kept stopping, and he soon arrived at the gate of Baoshan City&1t;/p>
Zhang Deen shouted to Li Shi: What part do you belong to&1t;/p>
Li Shi shouted loudly: We are here to escort the supplies and to support Baoshan County under the orders of Commander-in-Chief Jiang and the Chief of the Third War Zone.
Zhang Deendao: What about the order&1t;/p>
Li Shi took out a piece of paper and said: Here &1t;/p>
Zhang Deen said: I will let the following person open the door first. If the order is correct, we will let it go immediately. Please don’t blame me.
Li Shixiao said: It doesn't matter, military importance, everything must be strictly implemented&1t;/p>
After the inspection, Li Shi led the entire delegation to Baoshan County, and all the supplies were transported into Baoshan County. Zhang Deen and Li Shi shook hands, greeted each other for a while and then went to see Wang Mingyu&1t;/p>
Wang Mingyu was studying at the brigade department how to guard Baoshan for two months. This time it was much more difficult than the previous few times. Because it was too long and the troops were only replenished this time, he knew that after the Japanese army at the South Gate was transferred, it was unrealistic for the Japanese army to react and attack the transport team that suddenly changed direction in such a short time&1t;/p>
Report to Chief Zhang to&1t;/p>
Let them in&1t;/p>
The brigade, this brother is a unit sent by the Third War Zone. This is their regiment commander Li Shili, Lieutenant Colonel Li, and this is the brigade commander of our 318th Brigade. Major General Wang Mingyu and Zhang Deen began to introduce Wang Mingyu when he entered the door. Commander Li, thank you for your hard work. Please sit down. Wang Mingyu hurriedly invited Li Shi to sit down. Wang Feng has been looking for a long time. From now on, we will follow Commander Wang to ask for a bowl of rice. Haha, Li Shi has been in the Chinese country for a long time and has become very worldly and smooth&1t;/p>
