Chapter Eighty-Six: Talents
Li Da Yanbao is a fan, he is about to become a military encyclopedia, and he seems to know everything.
"By the way, do you know how to use artillery?" Zhang Yunfei asked casually, the grenadier is not actually a real artillery, it can only be regarded as a single grenade, that is, the kind of grenade that can be fired when hung on a rifle in later generations (of course, there are rifle grenades now, but the performance is not as good as the grenadier).
"Yes!"
Zhang Yunfei: "......"
He really wanted to scold his mother, this is still a high-tech artillery talent, so he has been used as an infantry, and it is a waste.
But then he thought that he didn't seem to have any cannons, and even the grenadiers were rarely captured, and even if they did, there were only a few shells, and if it weren't for the ammunition depot of the devil's stronghold this time, it would be difficult to capture how many devil shells.
The grenadier is aimed at all by experience, if you want to hit accurately, it all depends on more practice, which can make perfect, and the grenade captured by the Eighth Route Army is not enough to train a large number of grenadier soldiers, and the ghost grenade captured this time is a bit much, Zhang Yunfei only then considered using the grenadier.
Although the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold and the devils who came to check the situation were all wiped out, Zhang Yunfei said that no one reported to the devils, it was purely to scare Qi Dajiu, that fool, there are disgusting guys who kneel and lick devils in peacetime, and there is no shortage of traitors in this era.
"Baga, chasing down the eight roads, wanting to make meritorious service and wanting to go crazy, people who are forty or fifty years old, is meritorious service useful?" What Matsumura Shaozo wants is stability under his rule, for these reserve officers under him, the battle merit is at most a monetary reward, and it is really not worth it, he doesn't understand why Zheng Zhuang's garrison team leader is so aggressive.
"Matsumura-kun, Second Lieutenant Yoshida is a first-class cadre, and he is still very young." The captain of his own group was dizzy, and Lieutenant Kobayashi had to remind him.
Matsumura Shaoza was choked by his team's words, but even in anger, he didn't give Lieutenant Kobayashi a face.
Lieutenant Kobayashi is his important assistant, and more importantly, Kobayashi is a veteran with rich combat experience, and although he himself is already a young minister, he actually has little experience on the battlefield, and there is no harm in listening to veterans on the battlefield, so he relies on this team very much, even if he is dissatisfied with him and slanders, he will not show it.
The Category A cadre system is one of the officer selection systems implemented in response to the shortage of low-level officers after the expansion of the Imperial Army, and it is faced with new recruits who have just joined the army, and this system has only been implemented for a few years, which means that even the first batch of Category A cadres admitted are actually only in their twenties.
This kind of officer is positioned as a low-level officer, so it is very difficult for them to get promoted, which is why this Yoshida squad leader is so keen to exterminate the Eight Roads, because he must perform very well and have outstanding contributions to be promoted.
Lieutenant Kobayashi was actually quite jealous of Second Lieutenant Yoshida, he was young when he encountered such a system, and he was also a beneficiary of this system, he participated in the selection of second lieutenant candidates for non-commissioned officers, although he became an officer as he wished, but unfortunately he was already older, and he had to retire after a few years, and now although he was drafted into the army again, it is a pity that he can only work for a few more years at most and have to retire.
Young people are so good, but it's a pity that he's too impulsive, this guy Yoshida is now on the blacklist of Captain Matsumura, and it's hard to come out, and when he thinks of this, Lieutenant Kobayashi feels very cool.
Second Lieutenant Yoshida, who was gloated by Lieutenant Kobayashi, was looking at the Zhengzhuang stronghold with a telescope with a blue face at this time, and he could see it every day before as the master.
Now that he had to observe the fortifications here as an enemy, he was in a terrible mood.
Eight roads did not chase and suppress, but lost their stronghold, originally wanted to show his face to the captain, but now the face is exposed, but unfortunately the face is gray, according to the herald, the squadron leader's face is very ugly, it is really ugly, and he was swollen by the captain.
His boss was punished by the captain for his own mistakes, thinking that he would definitely have a hard time in the future.
As soon as Second Lieutenant Yoshida arrived, he immediately ordered an attack on the Zhengzhuang stronghold, and the little devil drove the puppet army to launch a fierce attack on the Zhengzhuang stronghold.
Boom, grenades continued to fall and hit the outer wall of the bunker to produce a violent explosion, but unfortunately the fortifications built by the little devils were strong, only a layer of plaster on the outer layer of the bunker was shaken, and the machine guns in the bunker were still raining bullets on the attacking Japanese puppet army like popping beans.
Now these Japanese puppet soldiers also feel the suffering of the Eighth Route Army, and they do not have heavy weapons to attack the stronghold of the turret, that is, they play with their lives and use their lives to pile up.
"Zhang Ergou, what the hell are you doing, I think these devils and puppet soldiers seem to be in a hurry, why don't you let my second platoon go up" Qi Dajiu, who stayed on the flank with Zhang Yunfei, suggested.
"What's the hurry, this is the first round of attack, and the devil should just be testing the firepower." Zhang Yunfei said a little uncertainly, Zhang Yunfei was very suspicious of whether he had his own taunting skills, and the little devil screamed desperately when he saw him.
Now the first and third squads of the independent squadron guard the two pillboxes, the fourth squad and Qi Dajiu's second platoon protect the flanks, and the second squad serves as the general reserve, and now the second squad and Qi Dajiu's second platoon stay together, the reason is that he is afraid that this guy will make a mess and do something that disrupts the deployment,
Although Qi Dajiu is dissatisfied with this, he can understand it, after all, if he thinks that Zhang Ergou's command is unreasonable, he will not obey the order, he never thinks that he is Zhang Ergou's subordinate, and there is no clear order from his superiors.
In fact, in terms of tactical arrangement, Zhang Yunfei directly threw the second row aside, saying that letting him protect the flank was just talking, if he explicitly let him play on the side, he would always have to be anxious with himself, in fact, it was the second squad that he brought to really defend the flank.
There are only about 40 devils and more than 70 puppet soldiers who attacked their stronghold this time, and they should be the garrison here, after all, they are the closest to here, and it is normal for them to arrive first, in Zhang Yunfei's view, this is a tentative attack, and the real general attack should not start until the surrounding reinforcements arrive, which is also the purpose of his battle, to attract all the surrounding Japanese puppet troops to achieve the purpose of encircling Wei and saving Zhao.
Of course, if that convoy had been killed by the devils by now, then their own battle would have lost their meaning, but unfortunately the communication was too backward in this era, and they could only implement their own tactics as if they had not fallen into the hands of the enemy.
At this time, Second Lieutenant Yoshida did not wait for the arrival of reinforcements at all, but he was eager to take the stronghold before the reinforcements arrived, after all, the stronghold was lost from his hands, but he needed the help of others to take it back, he couldn't escape this responsibility, only by taking it back with his own hands, maybe he could reduce the guilt, at least in the face of the better, and the squadron leader may be able to beat him less when he slapped him in the mouth.
