Chapter 12: The Sycamore Tree
For two days in a row, the Seya detachment under the city of Taierzhuang did not attack
It was as if the Japanese soldiers under the city were going to use continuous artillery bombardment and bombardment to completely destroy the resistance of Taierzhuang
Heavy bombs fell from the sky on the canal, and the tall columns of water rose into the sky, and there were people on the pontoon bridge on the canal who were constantly transporting ammunition to the other side of the canal
The battle of Taierzhuang has been four days from the beginning to now, and what has to be surprised is that a regiment in Taierzhuang is still a regiment, although it has suffered certain casualties, but the combat effectiveness of the entire regiment has not decreased much, and the defenders in the village have not reduced much, in addition to the requirements of grain and straw, the most important thing is to ask for two kinds of clay ammunition
This matter soon reached Li Zongren's ears with the battle report
"I didn't expect that two such small things could have so much power."
On his desk was what he had just mentioned, one was a grenade, and the other was a "hail personnel kill bomb" known as the "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers"
Although Jin Tao's information to Li Zongren bears the name of this weapon, it cannot be denied that there are always many romances in the hearts of Chinese, and the name "Heavenly Girl Scattered Flowers" is certainly much more romantic than the name "Hail Personnel Kill Bomb".
But it was the gadget with a romantic name that dealt the biggest blow to the Japanese army
"Learn, Learn...... Learning ...... I make use of it."
In the room, Li Zongren, who had a happy face on his face, paced back and forth while repeating this sentence in his mouth
He heard Cheng Siyuan talk about Austria's use of terracotta grenades in the First World War, but he didn't expect that such a family could play such a role in the War of Resistance Against Japan
As a general, it was easy for him to figure out the joints inside
The Japanese army is mainly infantry, although the strength of artillery and air force is not bad, but in terms of the traditional tactics of the Japanese army, the infantry is the main force of attack, and all other arms are auxiliary
For example, the "Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers", whether using gasoline barrels, cannons, or accordion multi-barreled grenadiers, can carry out a large number of salvos, and these equipment are simple to manufacture and have sufficient materials, especially the "Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers" itself, which is staggeringly cheap
According to the people who accepted the shell, some families with many people actually earned several yuan a day, and one dollar at this time may not be much for the workers, but for the farmers who themselves farm, it is a lot of extra income
It is said that the peasants in those counties, starting with a 7-year-old doll and ending with an 80-year-old lady, each had a wooden shell in their hands and guarded a large pile of prepared clay, and they just filled it in the shade and handed it over to the person who collected the shell, so that they could get cash
I even heard that some people don't care about the land, and they only make this grenade shell, and they earn a lot of money in a day
For Li Zongren, this is really cheap to the point of worthlessness
After all, how much is a grenade, of course, it will not be cheap in China, a country that is extremely short of steel, so tens of thousands of oceans can be exchanged for a lot of grenade shells, and as for pulling fuses and explosives, this is not very lacking
Now, when he heard that this weapon on the front line had achieved great results, Li Zongren had already confessed to Cheng Siyuan, and asked him to tell the people below that each county could produce gunpowder by itself and directly use gunpowder to fill it
The thing in my heart is that when the devil attacks and then wants to concentrate on the charge, he will drop 100,000 or 80,000 pieces at a time, although the explosion power of gunpowder is not very strong (about one-sixth of TNT), but even if it is 100 pieces, kill a little devil, and a division will have to be reimbursed half
It was only then that he remembered why Jin Tao had told him that grenades could be loaded with gunpowder
"Alas, I was really confused at the time, I thought that it was too big to throw it far, and now I think about it, it's really stupid, with the 'Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers' grenade, is it necessary to throw it so far, at least to defend the city, that's enough"
According to the report of Wang Guanwu, the commander of the defense of Taierzhuang, in the face of the surprise attack of the Seya detachment, they placed their soldiers near the bombed-up city wall, threw grenades directly from the city into the crowd at a time, and under dozens of grenades, after eliminating the ghost soldiers killed by the explosion, the other devils all rolled and crawled down
Regarding this situation, Li Zongren understands very well that in the face of bullets, the soldiers may be able to charge, even if it is a little dense, it is not too much danger, but the grenade is not a piece of explosives, the sky is full of gunsmoke, and the devils are repelled with that thing, not to kill them all, but under the continuous explosions on the battlefield, no one is not afraid
He can even imagine that when the opponent's grenades can't be thrown, then it can be said that the place where the city wall was blown up became a ghost gate, and if the person who threw the grenade was not solved, how many people would be given in vain, but in the dark night, the person who threw the grenade could not aim and didn't know where to shoot
Moreover, judging from the battle situation on the battlefield, the Seya detachment under the city of Taierzhuang could not launch an attack at all, not because the troops were insufficient, but because they could not deal with the "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers"
One or two of these air-explosive grenades will not make people worry too much, but if they are thrown down at one time, they will be thousands and eight hundred, covering a large area, and how many infantry will not die Li Zongren, who has fought a long war with the Japanese army, knows that the Japanese soldiers are full of warriors, but in the face of such a blow, they are not a force they are qualified to fight
Even if a tank faces the city wall in Taierzhuang, what can it do?
"Let's watch the first release together, please support genuine reading, support the author's creation" Don't laugh and give birth to a group: 35761481; Mailbox:
Cheng Siyuan on the side quietly looked at Li Zongren in front of him, looking at the joy on his face, he was secretly happy in his heart, and at the same time he was thinking quietly
"What kind of character is that Jin Tao, look at his appearance, he has set off such a big wave"
The "waves" mentioned by Cheng Siyuan are not just the battle of Taierzhuang, he is a doctor of political words, what he sees naturally is more, and his thinking is naturally more profound and thorough
Aside from the Taierzhuang battlefield, the film called "The Death of Nanjing" was released in the army, and the response was extremely strong, and many troublesome things became easy to solve
The quality of the training of the soldiers has improved, the officers have refrained from food, and the unity between the officers and soldiers has been much stronger than in the past
"The so-called shame and then can be brave, that Jin Tao can play politics so skillfully, and he is such a brave person, I really don't know what he looks like as a hero"
Like others who have been educated in traditional culture, Jin Tao's actions show his unique skill, and at the same time, his methods are very ruthless, giving people the impression that he does not like to talk about "benevolence and righteousness" in Chinese politicians and high-ranking officials, and is somewhat similar to the mountain kings and chivalrous men in ancient books and biographies
Cheng Siyuan, who is familiar with political skills, understands that Jin Tao used "The Death of Nanjing" to justify himself and find the best excuse for his cruelty, because the Chiyou Army is not protected by international law, as a revenge army, no one has any reason to blame them for being too ruthless, after all, the cruelty of the Chiyou Army has not been performed against any Japanese civilians, and it can be seen from the film that the Chiyou Army is a disciplined army
As a doctor of political science, Cheng Siyuan does not think that Jin Tao's goal is just that, I heard that he went to Hainan and what exactly he did there, but only a few war refugees in Nanjing who came ashore from there said that construction seems to be going on on Hainan Island
Cheng Siyuan couldn't figure out what kind of construction it was
"Then what is his goal, is he just satisfied with what he did in Nanjing, with his ability, he should not engage in construction like other Chinese politics, and what did this Commander Jin do before, and what kind of construction will he carry out?"
At this moment, China is rich in light industry, and the holy house is stuffy, and as far as Cheng Siyuan, a person who has studied abroad, it is not the foundation of a fundamental strong country, and from the perspective of political words, a social framework that operates rationally and can carry out a certain degree of self-repair is the foundation of a country's development
It is as if in history, when the British perfected the entire legal system and completed the restriction of imperial power, the reasonable social framework formed was in line with the achievements of the Industrial Revolution, and the "Victorian Era" was created
The Industrial Revolution increased the creativity of wealth, and the rational social framework regulated the distribution of social wealth
From the perspective of political science and sociology, this is the fundamental reason for the success of the "empire on which the sun never sets".
Cheng Siyuan, who thought about these questions, never said anything to anyone, because he knew that under China's social atmosphere of advocating "power schemes", "tricks", and "human favors", what he wanted to talk about would be ridiculed as empty talk and dismissed as "unrealistic"
However, these people in China are very envious of the artillery, giant ships, and strong national strength of Europe and the United States, and as a result, they have purchased a large amount of arms from Europe and the United States, and even have the foolish practice of keeping the military purchase money in the bank and buying fighter planes at the beginning of the war
In fact, no one understands that it is just a clever operation of financial gains, and it is nothing more than a means to use the money to protect the family and defend the country to gain some benefits for themselves
"Who's stupid?"
"That Commander Jin is a military wizard, or even a military and military industry, you only have these two weapons to play our greatest advantages, and at the same time, they are weapons designed for the tactics of the Japanese army, you should understand that he is definitely not an idle person"
Li Zongren's comment is quite pertinent and careful, it does not involve anything else, it is only discussed militarily, and if other things are added, Cheng Siyuan has to say so
"That Commander Jin should have received a good military education, because he has a very deep understanding of weapons and equipment, not only that, but this "Death of Nanjing" also shows that he is very good at using movies, newspapers and other media to do some things, and the most important thing is that he has guessed opinions in strategy."
The last evaluation comes from "The Death of Nanjing", although this film seems to be a "grievance", in fact, it is reasonable, and the reason for its cruelty is pinned on the barbarism of the Japanese, it is not difficult to see that when the Japanese army is boycotted by the whole world, it has to make some changes
And those changes are very likely to become loopholes that the Chiyou army can exploit in the future
You can't think of such a thing as playing strategy, if you look at it closely, you can't think of it at a shallow level
"Let's take a look at it, maybe he's really a sycamore tree."
