After a night's rest, when Zhang Wei woke up, most of the soldiers in the station had already gotten up, Mu Chao and Qiu Wei saw that Zhang Wei was too tired, so they asked Zhang Wei's signal soldiers not to wake him up, so Zhang Wei slept until now, and after getting up, according to the old rules, the sentry platoon went down to rest for a while, and the rest of the companies gathered at the station after breakfast. Ｘ

The soldiers had eaten, and they did not receive the battle order, except for the sentry, the rest sat in place with guns on their shoulders, some were in a daze, and some surrounded the veterans in groups of three or five, listening to the veterans' combat experience, and by the way, learning some life-saving experience on the battlefield.

The three company commanders of the preparatory battalion were also a little bored at this time, Qiu Wei followed behind Zhang Wei, Zheng Yiqun kept asking Mu Chao about his previous combat experience and methods of leading troops, and as for Zhang Wei, he was now holding a telescope and looking into the distance.

"Battalion commander, when did you say we could fight today?"

Zhang Wei replied with a wry smile: "Look at the current formation, we don't have to go up, didn't you listen to the people of the 155th Division yesterday, they just came." I guess we'll have to be idle for a while, and the people of the 155th Division will definitely beat it hard. ”

"So we're idle here?" Qiu Wei was indeed a little unaccustomed to it, and then asked.

"What are you anxious about, the heads of the family and the officers are not in a hurry, besides, our assault column is a complete infantry battalion, the 155th Division is an infantry division, let us go first if we are full, if you want to use it, we will probably get on the tank first, okay, rest."

"Cheng, then let's rest." Qiu Wei turned around and went to his own company to pass the time.

At this time, what appeared in Zhang Wei's telescope was the Luowang Railway Station occupied by the Japanese army, which was not large as a railway station, but it was an important point on the Longhai Railway.

At the same time, Takeda Ming, the captain of the first brigade of the 15th Infantry Wing of the Japanese army located in the Luowang Railway Station, was also using a telescope to observe the squadron outside the station, the 15th Infantry Wing, the 28th Brigade belonging to the 14th Division, the 1st Brigade was ordered by the commander of the 15th Company, Morita Fanzheng, to guard the Luowang Railway Station, and the rest of the wing was to guard the Luowang Village and the stone village, and at the same time build simple fortifications in the field outside the two villages and garrison defense. Against them were the 155th Division of the 64th Army and the 200th Division assault column that had just been put in place, and the 58th Division of the 74th Army, which had been reinforced to the 64th Army, was rushing over. Yesterday's small-scale fierce battle was really painless, and after a burst of shooting, the squadron was defeated.

Takeda Ming's 1st Brigade received a rapid-fire artillery squad reinforced by the rapid-fire artillery squadron of the wing, two Type 94 37-mm rapid-fire guns, and the troops of the 14th Division fighting near Neihuang were attacked by the infantry and tanks of the squadron in yesterday's operation, which came from a tank company that was transferred away when Zhang Wei and they just got off the car.

Although the attack was repelled and a tank was destroyed, the 14th Division still informed the units of the appearance of the squadron's first tank tank, and in order to prevent the squadron's first tank, the 15th Wing specially equipped one of the rapid-fire gun squadrons with the first brigade.

Takeda Akira took advantage of the forces in his hands and the existing location of the station to occupy the commanding heights of the platform, and laid sandbags and positions around the railway station, using various materials to strengthen the station's defense and anti-shelling capabilities.

Several abandoned carriages were piled with sandbags and connected together, all of them were opened, and the battalion's Type 92 infantry guns were ready to support them, and the station defense was completed overnight.

Accompanied by the stragglers of the squadron probing his brain, he had a premonition that the real attack of the squadron would soon begin.

He was right, he was about to attack, but it wasn't as quick as he thought.

Under Zhang Wei's order, the soldiers of the somewhat boring preparation battalion stopped chatting and began to practice stabbing and basic tactical movements under the leadership of the company commanders.

The soldiers quickly stood in a horizontal line with the platoon as a unit, repeatedly practicing the basic stabbing movements, Zhang Wei watched for a while, before fighting a battle with the Japanese, or winning the battle, although the main results were fought by the veterans of the first company, but the recruits of the second company and the third company who did not participate in the battle, seeing the defeat of the Japanese army, the fear of the Japanese army was also eliminated a lot, and the strength of the drill was also greater.

Zhang Wei supervised the training for a while, and saw that the chariot troops in the distance were sorting out the equipment, these Iron King Eight, Zhang Wei was quite interested, he had only seen drawings and models on computers and TV before, and finally had the opportunity to get in touch, how could he let it go.

Telling Qiu Wei to be optimistic about the training, Zhang Wei walked towards the chariot battalion in the distant field, and the chariot battalion of the assault column was transferred, so that now the chariot battalion has only two companies, 24 large and small chariots (12 in each company), plus motorcycles and mortar companies of the chariot battalion search platoon, as well as the battalion's repair troops, transport vehicles, and supply troops. Hundreds of heavy equipment were lying in the flat ground in the field, the anti-aircraft machine gun platoon of the assault column was on air defense duty, and two Soviet-style anti-aircraft machine guns had been set up to be alert to possible Japanese aircraft.

Dark green camouflage nets were placed on the tanks, and some crews also built concealed fortifications for the tanks, and the tankmen demuded the tracks of the tanks, overhauled machine guns, and artillery.

Zhang Wei did not divert the attention of the charioteers, and the platoon commander of the fourth platoon of the second company of the chariot battalion, who was directing the maintenance work, saw Zhang Wei coming over and greeted Zhang Wei very enthusiastically.

"Camp Commander Zhang is here, Lao Hu, come here." Platoon Commander Lu also called another platoon commander surnamed Hu, the two were quite enthusiastic, one was that Zhang Wei had just finished winning the battle, and second, Zhang Wei could talk to Qiu Qingquan. Both of them graduated from the Mechanization School of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and both of them are lieutenant platoon commanders, but their equipment is different, Lv Platoon is T26, and Hu Platoon is CV35.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, I heard that your infantry won a battle yesterday, I'm really angry. Platoon Commander Lu said excitedly, looking like a militant.

"It's okay, it's nothing, it's nothing more than the brothers fighting with their lives, the armored vehicles desperately covering, plus this gang of devils is purely unlucky, when it is not good to show their heads, they just hit us, and they can only beat them."

"That's a concerted effort!" Platoon Commander Hu answered, and the three of them chatted about the coordination of infantry and tanks, and after chatting for a long time, Zhang Wei knew that at this time, the understanding and understanding of infantry and tank coordination was still not enough, and the infantry regiment and the tank unit were very separated, but the two tank platoon commanders agreed that there were too few infantry in the formation.

What they said was vague, but Zhang Wei could roughly understand that what they wanted to express was the lack of infantry cooperation, which was essentially a problem of infantry coordination.

The two took Zhang Wei to see the chariot again, now gasoline is a rare commodity, and the chariot can't be started casually in peacetime, Zhang Wei can only pass by. Standing on the body of the T26, feeling the 45mm tank gun on the turret and the DT tank machine gun in the turret, this steel machine from the red country really has a different kind of beauty. Next to the vehicle, the crew members are carefully maintaining the gun latch, sight glasses and artillery sights removed from the vehicle.

In contrast, Platoon Commander Hu's Italian tank was much more frustrated, smaller, and weaker in firepower.

Zhang Wei deliberately quipped: "Platoon Commander Hu, your tank is not powerful enough." ”

Hu Platoon didn't talk much, but as soon as he heard Zhang Wei talk about his chariot, he immediately replied.

"Our car is a little weaker, but we have to do the reconnaissance and search, our car is small, and it is also good and flexible."

Platoon Commander Lu on the side laughed: "You have it, your car is slower than our car when it starts cold!" ”

Platoon Leader Hu blushed: "That's all, that's all the Italians raised by the son of a bitch." ”

Zhang Wei saw Platoon Commander Hu crying and laughing, and couldn't help laughing with Platoon Commander Lu, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Just as the three of them were chatting, a soldier ran to Platoon Commander Lu and Platoon Commander Hu, and said breathlessly: "Report to the two platoon commanders, the company commander has ordered, prepare for battle, and have a combat mission!" ”r
