Chapter 3: Preparing for War

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 Japanese Aggression, and its victory was of great significance

The outcome of the Battle of Taierzhuang was a defeat in the Japanese offensive in the campaign

The victory in the Battle of Taierzhuang politically strengthened the confidence of the whole people in the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and boosted the morale of the anti-Japanese army

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

So what is interesting is what the battle of Taierzhuang will look like this time

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, and the weather was still a little cold here in Taierzhuang, the soldiers who had packed sandbags and filled them with hot sandbags took off their cotton clothes one by one, and wore only close-fitting coarse cloth shirts

When they came down, the young soldiers sat together in twos and threes, chattering and gossiping, and there were people from Henan and northwestern, but now they were soldiers sitting together smoking tobacco pouches and gossiping, and the estrangement caused by the lack of understanding between regions had long been thrown out of the clouds

It's not like there's a saying that the army is a melting pot

They are the troops of Sun Zhonglian of the Second 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 (please note that this earthquake is not another earthquake)

"Do you know, our division commander was received by the chairman of the committee, I listened to the secretary of the regiment branch, and the chairman took Chi Shizuo's hand and said, Your commander said that you are a loyal, brave, and capable person, and today it seems that this is true, our division said that our division will definitely fight to the end, live and die with the position, and repay the country and the kindness of the committee member's knowledge, Jiang praised Chi, encouraged him, and waved goodbye."

"What's that to do with us little soldiers?"

The one who spoke was a recruit from Henan, because before this battle, Sun Zhonglian, who originally belonged to the first war zone, was trained in Henan and replenished its troops

"You Henan understand a fart, the chairman has seen our division commander, and as soon as our division commander is happy, he will supervise us to fight to the death and not retreat, you say that you are a recruit. It doesn't matter if the child has it or not."

The veteran raised the cigarette pouch in his hand and made a gesture of beating, and the soldiers who were huddled together and chattering all laughed in their voices

But then the veteran shoved the pouch back into his mouth, because the recruit he had scolded had already pulled out a match and handed it over, and then he took out a pouch himself

On the battlefield at this time, to distinguish between veterans and recruits, all you have to look at is their cigarette pouches, and the veterans' cigarette pouches must be soaked in sweat, and the bamboo poles are almost brown, and the cigarette pouches and pots are all black and black e-liquid because they have been so old

Recruits, on the other hand, tend to have new pole-green cigarette pouches, and most of them may be wearing red pants

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

"This class will leave 5 boxes who are literate in your class"

The clerk asked, and 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 get it, 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 him again, but the clerk simply pretended not to see it, and just called to the soldier in the cart

"Put down the box, hurry up, go quickly, there are still many broken things, hurry up......"

The clerk hadn't taken a few steps, and by this time the veterans had already opened the box, and in the undersupplied troops, whoever let go of the supply opportunity was a fool, especially when the big war was approaching, "This thing is so light, it doesn't even have a handle, this. 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's a lot of stuff in there, and in a normal grenade box, there's actually two layers, and it's the thickness of a wrist, and it doesn't have a wooden handle, and it doesn't have a safety handle like a grenade, and it looks a bit like a Japanese grenade, except it's cylindrical

Because of the influence of the Germans, the squadron has been using grenades with wooden handles, which are said to have been thrown far away, so this box of grenades that is now being carried does not even have a handle, which makes ordinary soldiers feel even more strange

Looking at the terracotta grenade in the veteran's hand, the recruit realized that he was the one who was going to show everyone how to use it, and after reading 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 it is pulled in the same way as ordinary grenades, but this thing is called a grenade, and it is burned out of soil.

Of course, no soldier is going to pull one and try it now, but I feel that this thing is not very different from what I usually use, especially when I heard that it is made of clay, and I can't help but look distrustful

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

In fact, it's something that's incredibly simple, inexpensive, and mass-produced

To put it bluntly, one person, one roulette, plus clay mixed with iron pellets, can start to produce shells, put thousands of pieces in the cellar and burn them together, and after cooling, the pull fuse with ordinary grenades is completed, and the reason why there is no need to flap the needle fuse is that it is troublesome to produce, and secondly, the soldiers have to retrain when they throw grenades

How good is this, easy to produce, simple to use, everyone is not wasted, especially prefabricated fragmented grenades, which are easier to produce than ordinary cast iron cast grenades with split grooves, although it is not to say that it is compared with mechanized production, but terracotta grenades can be made by one person, the process is simple, and the materials are cheap

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

I heard the recruit ask, and somebody opened another box that didn't look very different, and inside were two layers of grenades, which were almost the same size and texture as the grenades, and looked like grenades, except that this thing was oval to reduce wind resistance, and it was basically the same as the grenade

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

This is what Jin Tao considered when shooting this grenade, that is, it does not need to be too far, inevitably about 300 meters, to be able to suppress the rifle fire of the Japanese army, and there is no need to use a special muzzle device

Because at this time, China could not even make ordinary light weapons, and it is said that the quality of the Chinese rifle could only shoot 400~500 meters, and the glued butt would often crack because it was unusable

And then you can't use sighting devices that are too complicated or even need to be calculated, and these illiterate soldiers use rifles because they have enough sighting devices to learn, and if there is a new sighting device that is not easy to learn, there is still no more market for it in the squadron at this time

So this kind of grenade that can be inserted into the muzzle of the gun and can be aimed at with a rifle sight, and the range is only 300 real, and the reason why you don't use a bump fuse is also the reason above, and the delay of 6.5 seconds is enough anyway

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 little devil's machine gun and grenadier canister are not scary, with this thing, they rushed over, and Lao Tzu killed him with one shot."

Or a veteran has experience 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 didn't understand that the real infantry firepower on the battlefield was at a distance of 200~300 meters, he knew that this kind of grenade that could reach far made up for the shortcomings of the squadron's weak artillery fire projection ability, especially when he heard that it was an air bomb, he felt even more refreshed

"Yes, yes, when it starts, no one is allowed to use this thing indiscriminately, follow my orders and use it again, and tell us in detail about your paper, everyone is trying to aim and find a feeling, if there is a chance, it would be better to shoot a few live ammunition."

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

The soldiers didn't know what they were doing here, but they were digging deep pits in the ground, jumping up and seeing, plum blossom-shaped artillery positions, all connected by communication trenches

Their weapon was something covered with a tarp No one knew what it was It was mounted on a four-** car It could stay wherever they wanted Depending on the shape of the tarp, the soldiers guessed that it might be two secret weapons, and as for how secret it was, it wasn't up to them

But in addition to those two mysterious weapons, they saw another weapon

It was a gasoline canister with a couple of rings attached to it, and it sat diagonally underneath a wooden shelf that could be adjusted to the ground

The big guy's ammunition is even more exaggerated, and it's a big wooden disc full of those "hail personnel bullets."

"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 pull out their eyeballs."

"Look at your smug appearance, this gasoline drum can also be used as a cannon, it really booms, you kid be careful not to bombard others, you blow up the chamber first."

Sitting there, smoking a large hookah, which is a common hookah in Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Sichuan, a big bamboo hookah, purring, purring

"Phew, you know a fart, our boss said that 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 the power of this thing

Anyone who isn't stupid wants to get something like a hail personnel bomb and scatter it 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 the 50 projectiles

Of course, the veterans are not a total area, but in fact, a rough calculation is only an area of 4,000 square meters

It is estimated that as long as one shot is accurate, a team will be finished
