The west wind was fierce, the smoke and flying sand in the sky eroded everyone on the battlefield, west of Sanyiji, the assault column preparation battalion and friendly troops withstood an attack by the Japanese army, after the bloody battle, the Chinese soldiers in the position cleaned up the corpses and debris in the fortifications, and after further strengthening the fortifications, the position returned to a rare silence.

After the two sides fought and fought, it can be said that they were physically and mentally exhausted, and after the fighting, the two armies temporarily turned into a state of confrontation, most of the soldiers entered the anti-artillery holes, and some rested directly against the breastwork.

Originally, there was only one heavy machine gun company on this position, which belonged to the three battalions, but after application and coordination, the heavy machine gun company of the reserve battalion and the second battalion of the 276th regiment was also pulled up, and the three battalions and heavy machine gun companies in the defense line were all fully equipped.

The new heavy machine gun company of the preparatory battalion simply built a heavy machine gun fortification, and the heavy machine gun fortification in the first-line trench was not complicated, and it only took a short while, and the four Soviet-style Maxim heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun company were quickly deployed (two heavy machine guns were lost in the blocking battle), under normal circumstances, the heavy machine guns of the national army were split into each company, and they were used by each company, usually with the fire of one company and two heavy machine guns in front of the position to form a fire blockade, and only four heavy machine guns were left in the preparation battalion, Zhang Wei according to the length of the position, The four guns were evenly distributed to the positions.

Zhang Wei set up a guard post and was resting against the trench, but He Kun woke up Zhang Wei who was napping.

"Battalion commander, here's something." Zhang Wei opened his eyes and saw that He Kun was followed by more than a dozen soldiers, each holding a few 38 rifles in their hands, as well as Japanese bullet boxes and grenades, as well as more than a dozen steel helmets and bayonets.

"Battalion commander, just now we helped the friendly army fight off the devils, they just finished burying the devil's body and sent half of the captured weapons, all here."

Zhang Wei took out a 38 cover from He Kun, opened the chamber, a yellow 65 bullet popped out of the chamber, the chamber was full of oil and mud with blood, it seems that the previous owner of this gun died not very decently, glanced at the bullet that fell out of his feet, Zhang Wei's face sank: "What's the matter, if you don't withdraw the bullet in the gun, who is it if you go off fire?" ”

He Kun patted his head: "When people gave us things, they forgot about this stubble, hurry up, return the bullets in the gun!" He Kun said to the dozen or so soldiers behind him.

"How many things are there?"

"Eighteen thirty-eight rifles, eleven thirty-eight bayonets, a dozen cartridge boxes and bayonet holsters, in which there were more than four hundred rounds of ammunition, and thirty-one grenades and grenades." He Kun replied after thinking for a while.

Eighteen guns, almost half of the things, Zhang Wei now feels that this second battalion commander is very real, the seized things are given to Zhang Wei half of the things, the preparation battalion just killed a lot of devils, but the corpses are outside the position, Zhang Wei ordered not to go to the greedy to pick up things, climb outside Eighty percent will be used as a live target for the Japanese army on the opposite side, and after a battle, there is nothing captured in his hand.

"Battalion commander, shall we send these things down?" He Kun leaned over to Zhang Wei and whispered. Some weapons and property were captured in the previous battle, Zhang Wei put these things on the mules and horses that were extra out of the heavy machine gun company, and sent someone to take care of them, Zhang Wei nodded and agreed with He Kun to send the things down.

"By the way, the grenades with long rods below and those grenades are left behind and distributed to a company of grenadiers, and they use them." Zhang Wei said. Among the captured grenades, the one with a long rod under the body is the Japanese army's Type 91 grenade, the bullet body has notches and a long rod, and there is a blind hole under the long rod, which has threads inside, and it can be fired out with a grenadier after pulling off the safety pin on the grenade.

The grenades of the Type 89 grenadiers, Zhang Wei has no way to replenish this thing in the rear, so he can only rely on his own capture, and these Type 91 grenades can just supplement the consumption of the grenadier group.

He Kun answered, sent the soldiers behind him to pick out special grenades and 91-style grenades, and led people to send the remaining rifles, bayonets and other materials to the rear, and handed them over to the heavy machine gun company on standby in the rear to carry them, and there was a squad of combat soldiers to take care of the materials.

Although the amount of this batch of loot does not sound large, it is not easy to capture, and since the beginning of the war, there have been very few cases of large quantities of guns being seized from the Japanese army; on the one hand, the Chinese army as a whole is on the defensive, and on the other hand, compared with the national army, the Japanese army is indeed difficult to fight, and there is a habit of destroying weapons. The preparatory battalion was in the vicinity of Nawang Station, and with the support of anti-aircraft guns and mortars, and the cover of chariots, the Japanese attack was repelled, and only more than 40 rifles were captured in the post-battle inventory.

Keep the captured weapons, which can be presented as trophies in a batch, and the rest, in your own hands, can wait for the opportunity to sell them, and accumulate a lot of money, which can be used to subsidize the troops.

Zhang Wei had read articles about inflation and soaring prices during the Anti-Japanese War in his previous life, and now that he has really come to this year, he has to take precautions and prepare early, and it has only been less than a year since the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the current situation is not obvious, but when prices are soaring, it is probably too late to hold on to his feet temporarily.

In the frontal battlefield, fighting with the Japanese army is basically a large-scale force, face-to-face hard battle, the troops simply do not need so many Japanese guns that cannot guarantee supplies, except for the handed in, the remaining Japanese weapons are just right to use in advance as reserves, the premise of the army's combat effectiveness is to eat as much as possible, and Zhang Wei wants the troops to "eat as well as possible".

Guns don't worry about buyers, now is the era of war, the landlords in the countryside Haoqiang Nursing Homes, the county and township militias and self-defense forces, weapons need to be prepared, where do the weapons come from? In addition to the arsenal, it is the black market, and now the arsenal cannot even make weapons and ammunition for the field troops, where there are surplus weapons to sell to the localities, and the way of the arsenal is cut off, and those who buy guns can only buy guns from the black market and gun dealers; as long as there are guns in their hands that can be used in their hands, more than ninety percent of them can be sold, and the price is even more worrying.

Although Zhang Wei's method is not very glorious, and "reselling the spoils of war" does not sound good, compared with those officers who drink the blood of soldiers, have no way in or out, and pull things into their pockets, Zhang Wei thinks that what he has done is not wrong.

Zhang Wei squatted down again, leaned against the trench, stretched out his right hand, looked at the Japanese watch He Kun gave him, wiped the dirt off the dial, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and from the launch of the attack to the present, it had been a fierce battle for most of the day.

Next, I don't know what the order is, there is a fierce gunfire in the distance, it is the troops from other directions are fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, Zhang Wei vaguely felt that the order to attack would come soon.

ps: Some readers reflect that there are too many battles, no way, 3738 two years is indeed a war after a war, and when the battle of eastern Henan is over, the story will enter a relatively calm period of development, and then some personal daily life and the usual training of the national army troops, troop establishment system, etc.
