In the "once" War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in that time and space, the Battle of Taierzhuang was a great victory in the War of Resistance against Japan, and its victory was of great significance.

The end of the Battle of Taierzhuang was a defeat in the Japanese army's campaign offensive.

The victory in the Battle of Taierzhuang politically strengthened the confidence of the military and the people of the whole country in the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, boosted the morale of the anti-Japanese army, and proved that the "theory of the death of the country" was groundless.

The victory in the Battle of Taierzhuang changed the international view of the future of the Sino-Japanese war.

So what is interesting is that this time the battle of Taierzhuang will be like?

It was the afternoon of March 18, 1938, and the soldiers were working intensively on the fortifications.

Although it was only the end of March, the weather was still a little cold here in Taierzhuang. However, the soldiers who were hot in sandbags took off their cotton clothes one by one and wore only close-fitting coarse cloth shirts.

When the rest came, the young soldiers sat together in twos and threes, chattering and gossiping. They are both Henan and Northwestern. But now when they become soldiers sitting together smoking dry tobacco pouches and gossiping, the estrangement caused by the incomprehension between regions has long been thrown out of the clouds.

It's not like that, the army is a melting pot.

They are the troops of Sun Zhonglian of the Second Group Army, they are soldiers of the 184th Regiment of the 31st Division, the division commander is Chi Fengcheng, and the regiment commander is Wang. Earthquake (note that this earthquake is not the other).

"You know, our division commander was received by the chairman, and I listened to the documents of the regiment branch. The chairman of the committee took Chi Shizao's hand and said, "Your commander said that you are a loyal, brave, and capable person, and it seems that this is true today." Our division said that our division will definitely fight to the end, and live and die together with the position, in order to repay the country and repay the kindness of the committee. Jiang praised and encouraged Chi and waved goodbye. ”

"What's that, what does it have to do with us little soldiers!"

It was a recruit from Henan who spoke, because before this battle, Sun Zhong's company, which originally belonged to the first war zone, was trained in Henan and replenished its troops. Nine out of ten of the recruits are from Henan. Among the veterans is Sun Zhonglian's earlier family background in the northwest.

"You Henan understand a fart, the chairman has seen our division commander, as soon as our division commander is happy, he will supervise us to fight to the death and not retreat, you say and you recruits. Does it matter if the child is there? ”

The veteran raised the cigarette pouch in his hand and made a gesture of beating. The soldiers who were huddled together and chattering on the side laughed in their voices with their own local accents.

But then the veteran stuffed the cigarette pouch back into his mouth, because the recruit who had been scolded by him had already taken out a match and handed it over, and then he took out a cigarette pouch himself.

On the battlefield at this time, to distinguish between veterans and recruits, just look at their cigarette pouches. The veteran's cigarette pouch must have been soaked in sweat and had an almost brown bamboo stalk. The cigarette pouch pot is also because it has been too long, and it is all black black e-liquid.

Recruits, on the other hand, often have new cigarette pouches with green poles, and most likely wear red trousers.

While everyone was laughing, the clerk of the company headquarters took a few soldiers and used a second-in-command wheelbarrow to push the boxes stacked high.

"This class will leave 5 boxes, who in your class is literate?"

The clerk asked, unlike the unmoved veterans. The Henan recruits jumped up and saluted.

"Report sir, I am literate and have been in private school at home for a few years."

"Well, you understand and tell them!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a large stack of papers from under his arm and handed it to the recruit.

"Yes!"

The recruit saluted again, but the clerk simply pretended not to see it, and just called to the soldier in the cart.

"Put down the box, quick, go, there are still a lot of broken things, hurry up and ......"

The clerk hadn't taken a few steps before the veterans had already opened the box. In the undersupplied troops, whoever lets go of the opportunity to supply is a fool, especially when this big war is approaching. "It's so light, it doesn't even have a handle, what the hell. What can mom do? ”

The recruit withdrew his gaze from the box cannon he was carrying, and turned his face to look at the box he had just opened.

As the same document says, there are a lot of things in it. In the ordinary grenade box, there are actually two layers of upper and lower layers. It's the thickness of a wrist, so it doesn't have a wooden handle, and it doesn't have a safety handle like a grenade. It looks a bit like a Japanese-style grenade, except that it's cylindrical.

Because of the influence of the Germans, the Chinese army has always used grenades with wooden handles, which are said to be thrown far away. Then the box of grenades brought now does not even have a handle, which gives ordinary soldiers a strange feeling.

Looking at the terracotta grenade in the veteran's hand, the recruit noticed that he was the one who wanted to tell everyone how to use it. After looking at it, he pulled out a cylindrical grenade from the box.

"The back of this thing has the same moisture-proof cover as the wooden handle, and the same hair pull as a normal grenade. But it's called a grenade, and it's burned out of earth. The Nuo moisture-proof cover is to pull the line, and if you pull it and throw it out, it is. But there seems to be another kind, which of you has seen. ”

Of course, no soldier is pulling one right now to try it, but it feels like it's not the same thing as it usually is. Especially when I heard that it was made of clay, I couldn't help but show distrust.

Of course, these uneducated soldiers, of course, have never heard of the term "prefabricated fragments", let alone know the term "one-time die-casting".

In fact, it is something that is extremely simple in construction, inexpensive, and can be mass-produced.

To put it bluntly, one person, one roulette wheel, and clay mixed with iron pellets can start producing shells. Thousands of them are burned together in the cellar, and after they are cooled, they are equipped with the pulling fuse of ordinary grenades. The reason why the flap pin fuse is not used is that it is troublesome to produce, and secondly, the soldiers have to retrain when throwing grenades.

How good it is, easy to produce, simple to use, and everyone is not wasted. In particular, prefabricated fragment grenades are easier to produce than ordinary cast-iron cast-iron grenades with split grooves. Although it is not to be compared with mechanized production, clay grenades can be made by one person, with simple craftsmanship and cheap materials.

This method is just right for China, which has plenty of manpower and insufficient machinery.

Hearing the recruit ask, someone opened another box that didn't look quite the same. Inside are two layers of grenades that look like grenades of almost the same size and texture, with a slight difference in shape. Aside from the fact that this thing is ovoid to reduce wind resistance, it basically doesn't have much of a different appearance from a grenade.

"Hey, this guy is even better, just stuff it into the muzzle of the rifle and shoot a bullet, just use the sighting device of our rifle."

This is something that Jin Tao considered when shooting this kind of grenade, that is, it does not need to be too far, it will inevitably reach about 300 meters, and it can suppress the rifle fire of the Japanese army. In addition, there is no need to use a special muzzle device.

Because at this time, China could not even make ordinary light weapons. It is said that the quality of the medium formal rifle is not good, and the shooting is only 400~500 meters. Moreover, the glued butt often cracks because it is unbearable to use.

In addition, you should not use sighting devices that are too complex or even require calculations. These illiterate soldiers used rifles because of the sighting device they had enough to learn, and if there was a new sighting device that was not easy to learn, there would still be no more market in the Chinese army at this time.

Therefore, this kind of grenade inserted into the muzzle of the gun, which can be aimed and fired with a rifle sight, and the range is only 300 solids. The reason why the bump fuse is not used is also the reason above. Anyway, the delayed explosion time of 6.5 seconds is enough.

This is the "Hail Personnel Kill Bomb" specially designed by Jin Tao for the Xuzhou battlefield to deal with the infantry of the little devils, this is the big killing weapon.

"Hey, this thing is good, the machine guns and grenadiers of the little devils are not scary. With this thing, they rushed over, and Lao Tzu killed him with one shot! ”

It was still an experienced veteran, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that the oval-shaped flying thunder in front of him was a sharp weapon against the infantry.

Although he did not understand that the clash of real infantry fire on the battlefield took place at a distance of 200~300 meters. But he knew that this kind of grenade, which could reach far, made up for the shortcomings of the Chinese army's weak artillery projection ability. Especially when he heard that it was an air bomb, he felt even more refreshed.

"Yes, yes, when the fight starts, no one is allowed to use this thing indiscriminately, and it will be used at my command. In addition, tell us in detail about your paper, and everyone is trying to look for a feeling. If you really have the chance, it's better to shoot a few live shots! ”

In addition to such weapons, they also saw some talking Guangxi soldiers who were Li Zongren's direct subordinates.

The soldiers didn't know what they were doing here. I saw these soldiers digging deep pits in the ground. Jumping up and seeing, it was a plum-shaped artillery position, all connected by a communication trench.

Their weapon was something covered with a tarp, and no one knew what it was. It is mounted on a four-wheeled vehicle, and you can stay wherever you want. Depending on the shape of the tarpaulin, the soldiers guessed that they might be two secret weapons, and as for how secret, it was not up to them to know.

But in addition to the two mysterious and terrible weapons, they saw another weapon.

It was a gasoline drum, with what seemed to be a few iron rings fixed to the outside, and then it was placed diagonally on the ground, and there was a wooden shelf under the ground that could be adjusted to a higher or lower level.

The ammunition of this big guy is even more exaggerated, it is a large wooden plate, and the wooden plate is full of that kind of "hail personnel personnel kill shells".

"My grandma, it's the first time I've seen such a big-caliber guy."

Hearing their words, the Guangxi soldiers came with a full spirit.

"Don't worry, brothers, with our Gui army here, his little devil's infantry dares to take a look at our Taierzhuang, and they all pick out their eyeballs!"

"Look at your smug look, this gasoline drum can also be used as a cannon. It's really booming, you kid be careful not to hit others, you blow up the chamber first! ”

Sitting there, smoking a large hookah. This is a hookah commonly used by people in Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan and Sichuan. The big bamboo hookah pipe, sucking up the purr, gurgling sound.

"Phew, you know a fart, our boss said, this thing is called the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers, and if it goes down, it will be a ghost crying god."

Of course, the recruits don't understand the power of this thing, but the discerning veterans understand that this thing is powerful.

As long as people who are not stupid want to get it, things like "hail personnel kill bombs" will be scattered all at once.

Infantry, let's all go eat.

"Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" did not attack the dead end, and 50 projectiles were shot out in one shot, even if one projectile was a circle of 5~10 meters, what about 50 pieces!

Of course, the veteran is not counted as a total area, in fact, it is only an area of 4,000 square meters.

It is estimated that as long as the first shot is accurate, a squad will be considered finished!
