Siheyuan: Married a female spy at the beginning of 1944

Gao Degui did not immediately agree to He Daqing, but looked at Li Wanqiu with an inquiring look.

He Daqing is not their soldier, so he cannot be sent to the battlefield at will.

He was also afraid that if something happened to He Daqing, he would not be able to be responsible to his family.

Although I don’t know what the relationship between He Daqing and this beautiful girl is.

But when two people come together, their relationship is definitely closer.

"Captain Gao, this is my wife. She will definitely agree, right, wife?"

What could Li Wanqiu say? He Daqing often went out to cause trouble in the city.

At this time, even if she wanted to stop him, He Daqing couldn't listen to her.

What's more, she also wanted to visit here herself and see what the situation was like.

"Go ahead, go ahead, but be careful, you still have two children."

"Captain Gao, let's go, time is precious."

Gao Degui had no choice but to take He Daqing with him.

He Daqing walked with the team for more than an hour, and then joined the two companies one after another.

"What about the artillery and machine-gun battalions?"

He Daqing felt that the number of people was more than 500, but he didn't see a single cannon.

Not to mention artillery, there was only one machine gun.

And it was the kind of pheasant neck that wasn’t very useful.

This gun is the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun.

This gun has three features and four characteristics in total.

1 heavy, 2 slow, 3 stuck, 4 accurate.

Gao Degui pointed at the soldiers carrying machine guns and said proudly:

"Look, that's the machine gun company. As for the artillery company, it's still under construction."

He Daqing didn't know what Gao Degui had to be proud of.

"Just one heavy machine gun, and you call it a machine gun company?"

Gao Degui heard the contempt in He Daqing's words.

Unconvinced said

"How can a company with just one heavy machine gun not be called a machine gun company? You know, most battalions don't even have one. Only the regiment headquarters has one or two."

He Daqing knew that the Eighth Route Army had relatively few weapons and equipment, but he did not expect it to be so few.

A battalion can be proud of having a heavy machine gun.

In most cases, it was considered good if a regiment had one heavy machine gun.

At the beginning of 1940, the Eighth Route Army had a total of only 1590 light and heavy machine guns.

After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army conducted a personnel and weapons statistics.

Among them, there are only 694 heavy machine guns

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, each battalion of the Nationalist Central Army was equipped with 6 heavy machine guns. For the Eighth Route Army, this amount of equipment was probably something that only a brigade-level unit could possess.

Therefore, Gao Degui felt very proud that his battalion had a heavy machine gun.

"Even if you don't have heavy machine guns, you should have mortars. How many mortar shells have I given you? You don't even have mortars, do you?"

In addition to giving Gao Degui and his men 100 rounds of various artillery shells for the first time, He Daqing placed 700 rounds of various artillery shells into the cave every week afterwards.

This is a considerable number of shells. It is impossible that their battalion cannot even get a mortar.

"Hey, it's broken. The shells you gave me were of good quality and plentiful. I used a few more during the battle.

The mortar didn't hold up and exploded."

Ever since they had the mortar shells provided by He Daqing, they had become addicted to attacking artillery towers.

Cleared out all the nearby artillery towers.

Because the artillery tower was gone, the Japanese and the puppet army did not dare to go to the countryside to collect grain at will.

This is also the main reason why the Japanese built the artillery tower at this time.

If they don't build a watchtower, they will have to retreat completely into the city.

"Alas, you are so pitiful, the equipment of the national army is much better than yours.

Apart from anything else, a battalion of the Central Army has six heavy machine guns. That’s as many as your brigade.”

When Gao Degui heard about six heavy machine guns, he was so envious that he was drooling.

“We can’t compare, our heavy machine guns were all captured, or in other words, all our weapons over the years were captured.

Just 40 years ago, the central government gave us some weapons, but the quantity was limited.

We have not been given any money in the past two years, and we have to rely on ourselves.

Our battalion is still good. At least everyone can have a gun, whether it is an old-style or Type 38 rifle.

Almost everyone has one.

Some battalions were poorly equipped, with three men per gun, and they had few bullets, so they were reluctant to fire their guns during normal training.

If we had the equipment of the Central Army, we would not have suffered so many casualties.”

After Gao Degui finished speaking, he sighed.

He Daqing also knew that equipment and firepower issues had always troubled the Labor Party.

I even developed a fear of insufficient firepower.

After the troops reunited, they walked for another hour, and when the sun was about to set, they finally reached the artillery tower they were going to attack.

"It's already dark, what the hell are you doing? I can't see anything."

At such a long distance, He Daqing couldn't guarantee that he could hit the target, let alone those soldiers with mediocre marksmanship.

"You don't know this, right? During the day, the Japs' shooting skills were too accurate and our soldiers suffered too many casualties.

At night, there was no light on our side, but there were still lights on their artillery tower, so we had the advantage.

At the same time, we can get closer to the enemy, and whenever we have the chance, we can charge and engage in direct hand-to-hand combat with the enemy."

He Daqing thought about it and felt that it was right.

Whether it is the equipment gap or the training level, there is a clear gap between the two sides.

The Japs have good guns and lots of bullets.

And there is enough live-fire training.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army had a messy array of weapons and had even only had a few live-fire training sessions.

Even if there were, it was not known whether those guns with polished rifling could hit the target.

He Daqing didn't say anything and began to observe the situation of the artillery tower.

The artillery tower in front of us is only half built.

It is a cement and brick-concrete structure.

Although this structure cannot stop artillery shells, it is still very effective in defending against rifles and grenades.

There are several camps around the artillery tower, one is the Japanese army camp, one is the puppet army camp, and the last very bad camp is the workers' camp.

Most of these workers were prisoners in concentration camps.

There was also a large circle of barbed wire around the camp.

At this time, the workers were building a gun tower.

The Japanese also discovered He Daqing and his large army.

The Japanese immediately drove the workers back to the camp and asked some puppet troops to guard them.

Then they prepared their own defenses in the camp.

And call support directly.

"Report, Captain Gao, the battalion commander has given you the task of pinning down the enemy head-on. You must pin down most of the enemy's firepower. The first and third companies will attack from the sides and advance towards the enemy camp."

"Received, guaranteed to complete the task."

The signalman saluted and ran back to the battalion headquarters.

"Captain Gao, do you have confidence?"

Anyway, He Daqing had no confidence. How could a poorly equipped company attract most of the firepower of a squad of more than a hundred puppet troops?

If you don't hurt or scare your opponent head-on, how could he devote most of his firepower?

Relying on the Third Company's current weapons and equipment, it would be extremely difficult to attack the Japanese who have built simple fortifications.

He Daqing didn't know where Captain Gao's confidence came from.
