Chapter 17 Advantages
When Chen Ming and Roy saw this captain coming, it was a signal that the battle had officially begun.
The two glanced at each other, followed the captain and ran out, and the rest of the dozen or so people no longer hesitated, and followed in a hurry.
At a certain section of the platform, the captain instructed, "You two are waiting here with your team, and the battle order will be given soon." With that, the captain turned around and ran towards another lot.
When the captain left, the soft female voice of the system sounded in Chen Ming's ears:
August 18, 1937, 11:53 p.m.
Shanghai Railway Station, Shanghai, China.
You belong to the 56th Division of the Anhui Army.
Combat duration: 240 hours.
Roy turned his head to look at Chen Ming, but found that Chen Ming's face was pale, and Roy, who didn't know what was going on, asked, "Lone Wanderer, is there something going to happen?" ”
Chen Ming let out a sigh of relief, and said thoughtlessly: "I hope you have enough bullets." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the captain ran back and ordered loudly: "Go, run forward!" ”
Roy led someone to follow behind the captain, caught up with Chen Ming in front of him in a few steps, and asked again: "What's wrong?" You can honestly say that this information is invaluable! ”
Chen Ming ran forward and said to Roy: "Do you know what is the main reason why the Battle of Songhu is called the Verdun of the East? ”
Roy was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "Of course it's the number of casualties!" ”
"That's right, the place we are going to now is one of the most deadly battlefields, congratulations, you will witness hell on earth!"
"Can you be more detailed?" At this time, another small baby-faced man came up: "My name is Robert, I am the staff officer of this team, if you say it in detail, maybe I can make a plan." ”
"Staff officer? Did you shoot accurately? Chen Ming asked.
"Okay, what's the problem?" Robert asked curiously.
"Because we are going to Luodian, we are about to experience one of the most tragic battles of the Battle of Songhu, the battle for Luodian. 10 days, 20,000 people! Chen Ming glanced at the staff officer and continued: "All you have to do is to shoot the gun accurately, then maybe before you die, you can collect enough 100 heads." ”
The faces of the people brought by Roy turned white, and Robert was stunned for a long time before he asked, "So how big is this place in Luodian?" ”
Chen Ming looked at the second lieutenant in front of him and made sure that he didn't run the wrong way, before he turned back and said to Robert: "The total area is not small, and I don't know how big it is, but according to some records, the place we have to defend will not exceed 10 square meters." By the way, this place was captured in repeated battles, and we had to face not only infantry, but also aircraft and naval guns. ”
After speaking, Chen Ming walked away without looking back, and in front, the captain was already beckoning everyone to board a truck.
Chen Ming ran to the captain's side, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the captain, and said, "Sir, where are we going?" ”
The captain, who was beckoning everyone to get into the car, was stunned for a moment, took the cigarette and stuffed it in his mouth, and made a match movement at Chen Ming before he said vaguely: "Go to Luodian!" We've been assigned to defend Luodian. ”
Chen Ming helped the captain light a cigarette, put one in his mouth, and said, "Where is Luodian?" By the way, sir, what's your last name? ”
The captain beckoned to the soldiers behind him and replied vaguely: "Don't give your surname Zhang, Zhang Cheng." We should go to Luodian near Baoshan, and we will only know the details until the ground, you will sit in the car behind later! ”
As he spoke, he ran to the front and patted the car door, signaling that it was time to go.
Taking advantage of this, Chen Ming returned to the crowd: "Good news, the place we go to will directly face the frontal attack of the 3rd, 9th, 11th, 15th, and 101st divisions, and we have won the lottery!" ”
"Who's special, Fake!"
Thinking of a scolding, Chen Mingle looked at the person in front of him happily, until Roy spoke up: "Lone wanderer, this is not funny, do you have anything to do?" ”
"Of course there is, the easiest way..."Chen Ming pointed at Roy: "You and I, two snipers, go and kill Song. Ishigen! ”
Roy waved his hand slightly annoyed: "Don't be kidding, and it's not funny at all." ”
Chen Ming said playfully: "No, I'm serious, didn't you just ask me why I got so many evaluation points?" I can tell you that I took part in the blitzkrieg on Poland, and then I took out Guderian! It's that simple! ”
Roy and his party are all grown up, and they don't know what to say.
Just as Roy was about to ask something, a car stopped in front of several people, and the captain named Zhang Cheng also ran back and said loudly: "Get in the car and get in the car, you guys will go to Luodian immediately!" ”
A group of people looked at each other, reluctantly climbed into the car, sat down in the car body, and everyone took out their weapons and held them in their hands, Chen Ming glanced at them, and said with emotion: "You are really well equipped!" ”
Roy said with a little pride: "We are a team, of course, according to the standard firepower!" Except for the lack of heavy weapons, everything else is available. ”
Chen Ming's heart suddenly moved, and said, "After seeing your weapons, I suddenly thought of a way!" ”
The car started, and in the swaying left and right, a group of people stared at Chen Ming with bright eyes.
Chen Ming frowned, brushed his thoughts again, and said: "Your equipment can be basically ignored except for medium tanks and above, and in Japan, there are no medium and heavy tanks, you can find a defensive position to defend to the death, and Roy and I will kill the enemy commander." ”
The one named Daniel was the first to laugh disdainfully: "Loose. Well stone root? He might be over there...", pointing in the direction of the east: "It's on the aircraft carrier over there, you can try it!" ”
Roy scolded with a dark face: "Shut up! Daniel, don't challenge my patience! ”
Chen Ming watched this scene with interest, Daniel turned his head away by Roy's gaze, and then continued: "We don't have to go and kill Song. Jing Shigen, as long as you kill the division and regiment level, this will inevitably cause chaos. ”
Chen Ming touched a cigarette and took it out, put it in his mouth, thought about it carefully, and said: "As I just said, Luodian fell in the repeated battles between the two sides, and the two sides were actually evenly matched, but the Chinese commander made some small mistakes that led to the failure to annihilate the Japanese army, and these small mistakes could have been avoided. ”
That Robert leaned over and asked, "Can it be avoided?" What kind of error? ”
Chen Ming lit a cigarette, took two deep breaths, and said: "For example, Hu Jiaji's 216th regiment had to climb over the wall through the iron gate of the wharf because it did not bring a door-breaking tool, resulting in heavy casualties from the flanking attack. For example, Song Xilian transferred the chariot to attack, but there was no infantry and tan coordination, resulting in all the chariots being destroyed. And so on..."
Chen Ming glanced at a few people and said, "Do you know what your biggest advantage is?" ”
Everyone including Roy shook their heads.
Chen Ming sighed and said, "Your advantage is that you are not Chinese!" ”
Everyone's eyes showed puzzlement, and they didn't understand what this had to do with whether they were Chinese or not.
Chen Ming took another puff of cigarette, popped the cigarette butt out of the car, and said: "In this era, you don't know the privileges of foreigners in China, have you seen the captain's actions just now?" He asked us to get in the car, and when we didn't, he stopped talking, and asked us to sit down and see that there were only a few of us in the car, and there could be a few more people here. ”
Chen Ming shook his head and asked some other questions: "If that's right, you are active or retired soldiers, right?" ”
"Yes, we are all veterans, in Canada, and have been to Afghanistan and Iraq." Roy said.
"Well, I'm just offering an idea, first of all, you're a privileged class in this day, you know? You can make full use of this identity to make a fuss, Robert, you said that you are a staff officer, then you should do this well. Second, our weapons are advanced! Compared with the weapons in the hands of the Japanese troops or the Chinese troops, your weapons are at least one generation ahead, look at your equipment, only these 5 Garands are very powerful, not to mention the Bobosha on your back! Therefore, you have to be the main force of firepower, and a dozen of you are completely above the people of the previous company. ”
Chen Ming looked at the dozen or so people in front of him and asked, "What do you think is our biggest advantage here?" Without waiting for a few people to answer, Chen Ming said: "The biggest advantage is that we know these things!" That's the last point, our familiarity with history, and we can send a few men to break through as spearheads in the most intense areas of the conflict, or to support them with heavy firepower to stabilize the front when the rout is about to be defeated. That's my way of thinking, what do you think? ”
Roy and the others all looked at Robert, and Robert unconsciously rubbed his chin before asking: "But in this case, I mean that if you fight this kind of battle, you and Roy's advantages will not be able to be brought into play, which is equivalent to wasting two powerful snipers in vain." ”
Robert frowned and looked at Chen Ming and Roy, obviously not wanting to let go of these two big killers.
Chen Ming smiled slightly and said, "Do you know the role of a sniper?" Modern warfare has popularized snipers to squad units, mainly providing long-range fire support. But in the early days and now, an important task for snipers is to snipe valuable targets for the enemy. ”
Chen Ming lit a cigarette again, took two puffs and said, "I wasn't joking just now, Roy and I should go and snipe the enemy commander instead of putting it on the front line for defense." We had to face the attack of five local divisions, and in addition to the 101st Division, the other four were all Japanese resident divisions, and their strength should not be underestimated. If you can kill the enemy commander, then the defense on this side will be relatively simple. ”
Chen Ming looked at Roy: "Single sniper, are you confident?" ”
Roy was obviously a little stunned when he heard Chen Ming's words, but he still said simply: "I don't have confidence, but this thing is very exciting, isn't it?" ”
"Okay, we still have to look at the situation, first go to the garrison position to take a look, maybe the battle will be so fierce that we can't get out at all, then it's useless to say more."
The car swayed down the potholed dirt road, and the people in the car were waiting for a fierce battle.
