Chapter 105: Robbery of Heavy Soldiers

The 145th Brigade of the 145th Brigade of China has caused great trouble to His Excellency the General, and the current situation of the 46th Brigade and Regiment is seriously short of food and ammunition. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first."

On the first day of entering the military academy, Hirata Shaozo knew this sentence, during the war, what soldiers were most worried about was that they were working the front line, but they couldn't even eat.

Even if the soldiers of the Imperial Army can overcome hunger, the guns in the hands of the soldiers cannot be without ammunition, and without bullets, the rifles will become burning sticks, and without shells, the cannons will become iron.

The work of the baggage soldiers in the ranks of the devils is the most tiring, but the treatment they enjoy is the worst, because the combat effectiveness of the heavy soldiers is the weakest.

And the devils who came to China are here to invade, and fighting a war is like a common thing for them, so of course, they have very high requirements for the combat effectiveness of the troops, and a team like the baggage soldiers will naturally not be taken seriously.

Although Taro Hirata took up the position of captain of the baggage brigade, he also looked down on the baggage soldiers, so he always reminded himself that this was only temporary, and he would eventually go to the field brigade to serve as the captain.

Of course, Taro Hirata has been following Inoue for a long time, and I don't dare to say anything else, the set of officials has learned almost. Although he looked down on the baggage soldiers in his heart, he actually came to face the baggage team with a smile on his face.

After all, this mission still depends on these hundreds of baggage soldiers to cooperate, if you come up with a high-minded posture, and the baggage soldiers don't say anything on the surface, and secretly stumble on you, then you will sit on wax.

They don't need to do anything too much, they deliberately drag it out for a few days to be enough for themselves, and then not only will the captain of the field unit be hopeless, but after the baggage brigade is disbanded, they will have to go back to the brigade headquarters to look at the map.

I have to say that Taro Hirata's superficial kung fu is in place, in order to get closer to the soldiers, he gave up riding in a comfortable car and chose to walk with the soldiers, which is very rare in the devil's troops.

Japan is a country with a split personality, and both the military and the social hierarchy are very strict. Superiors treat their subordinates like slaves, and they can beat and scold them at will, and there are almost no officers like Taro Hirata who are willing to share the weal and woe with the soldiers.

The baggage soldiers felt that they were valued by their superiors, and they did not bow their heads and bend down as before, but walked forward without saying a word, striding forward one by one with their heads raised and their chests high, and the steps under their feet were much harder than before.

It was obviously a baggage unit, but Hirata Taro saw a trace of the demeanor of a field army in it, but it was a pity that the carts and mules and horses beside the baggage soldiers seriously affected their heroic image.

But in any case, Taro Hirata's performance still paid off, and it would have taken at least two days to walk to the paddock, but the devil soldiers were infected by Shaosa, and their morale increased greatly.

The original plan was to march for twelve hours a day, but when it was time to rest, the devils of the baggage brigade were unwilling to rest, and walked for another four or five hours in the dark, for which more than 20 soldiers were injured.

It only took a little more than a day and a half for Taro Hirata to arrive at Pada Prefecture with a baggage team. Don't underestimate this half-day time, a round trip is a day.

In times of war, every minute and second is precious, and a day may be the difference between victory and defeat in a battle.

"Yo Xi!"

Watching the soldiers keep loading carts and cars with grain, grass and ammunition, Hirata Taro was very satisfied.

Who said that heavy soldiers will not work, the key is to look at the officer. As long as it is his soldier Taro Hirata, even the baggage soldiers are a grade stronger than the baggage soldiers of other troops.

When Taro Hirata was proud, Li Han also began to act, since he had the idea of beating the devil's baggage, the devil's baggage soldiers were naturally the object of his attention.

Although the battle between the two sides was fierce and the guns and artillery were fired in unison, for professional scouts, it was their job to cross the line of fire and find out the enemy's intelligence.

Besides, Inoue sent more than 500 devil soldiers to transport supplies at one time, how could such a big movement be hidden from the scouts' eyes.

So when Hirata Shaoza set off, Li Han already knew, but Li Han didn't choose to do it when they set off. Since it was to deal with heavy soldiers, it was natural that he could not return empty-handed.

Although I have a little money now, I still have to be frugal when I should be thrifty, and the virtues passed down from my ancestors should also be carried forward.

Who in the world is so stupid, don't want free home delivery, but like to pay for it yourself. And what you buy is not necessarily the real thing you send, one is for your own use, and the other is for others, isn't it a clear thing to see which is good or bad.

Not long ago, a Japanese friend, Seiichi Yamashita, donated more than 1,000 38 caps, dozens of grenadiers, and more than 10 90 mortars to the 145th Brigade free of charge.

However, the Japanese do things, but they are not reassuring, Yamashita Seiichi is still a big Zuo, patronizing the delivery of guns and cannons, and the bullets and shells are forgotten by him, but unfortunately everyone else is dead, and Li Han does not plan to deal with the dead.

But the problem still has to be solved, you must know that the 145th Brigade is not only the Japanese-made weapons contributed by Seiichi Yamashita.

The reconnaissance battalion and the supplementary battalion also used the devil's 38 rifles, and in addition, each regiment also had a lot of Type 92 heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and these problems had not yet been solved by Li Han.

Originally, Li Han chose to take action against the devil's baggage army, purely to reduce the pressure on the battlefield, and the best thing was to force Inoue to return to Chengde with his brigade once.

However, when he knew that there were more than 500 people in the devil's baggage army, his purpose was not pure, and the baggage team of so many people had to transport how many weapons and ammunition they had to transport.

In the end, Li Han is still poor, although he robbed the bank and made a lot of money, but there are more places to spend money.

No, as soon as I heard that the devil might transport a lot of supplies, I made the old mistake again, and I thought about taking other people's things for myself.

Calculating the distance of the Duolun enclosure, Li Han estimated that it would take about four or five days for the devil to be able to walk back and forth, and he was going to rob, so he naturally had to prepare early, so he set off with his troops two days in advance.

This kind of action similar to robbery, of course, is not suitable for pure infantry to participate, otherwise even if the supplies are grabbed, it will be difficult to transport them back safely, so the reconnaissance battalion was elected again, in addition to the reconnaissance battalion, Li Han also recruited Sun Dabiao, who trained cavalry on the prairie.

The cavalry battalion now has more than 500 people, which is definitely a large establishment in the establishment of the cavalry ranks. In addition to the 200 veterans of the original cavalry company, the remaining 300 people were composed of Mongolian men, and after more than a month of training, they were fully capable of undertaking this combat mission.

In fact, the cavalry battalion commander Sun Dabiao had long wanted to go to the battlefield, and two-fifths of his cavalry battalion were veterans, and the recruits were all Mongolian compatriots, and horseback riding was a pediatric for them.

Therefore, this more than a month of training has been practicing tactical movements, formations and marksmanship on the battlefield, and occasionally cooperating with Wang Wei to intimidate and scare those disobedient Mongolian princes is already the biggest activity of the cavalry battalion.

This kind of comfortable life makes Sun Dabiao, who is accustomed to the bloody wind, endure it, and the most important thing is that the troops of the whole brigade have gone to the front line, and only their cavalry battalion is left in the rear, is the brigade commander so unconfident in the cavalry battalion.

Li Han didn't know that his cavalry battalion commander had already begun to think crankily because he couldn't go to the battlefield. If he knew Sun Dabiao's thoughts, he would definitely scold him severely, how could he not attach importance to cavalry.

It's just that he thinks that the role of cavalry is not to resist the devils on the position, and the devils' army is not a unit equipped with backward national troops, and they are equipped with light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, mortars and other weapons with great lethality, and each of these weapons is a huge threat to the cavalry.

The role of cavalry is to reconnoiter the enemy's intelligence, destroy the enemy's detour troops, baggage units or artillery units, and can also chase and attack the enemy when pursuing the enemy.

Let Sun Dabiao sit in the rear with the cavalry is also to deter the Mongolian banners, so that they do not dare to act rashly, after all, in the vast steppe, the role of cavalry even exceeds that of armored soldiers.

Since they were going to attack the Japanese army, of course they couldn't set off from Duolun, and the 46th Brigade had already blocked this road, so Li Han had to make a big detour from Guyuan, and finally waited for the arrival of the Devil's Heavy Soldiers Brigade in the area of Banjieta.

Fortunately, Li Han came with the reconnaissance battalion and the cavalry battalion, and they could not be replaced by any team, just walking this way, I am afraid it would take several days, and by then, the devil's baggage team would have already returned.

"Brigade commander, whether the devil is still here or not, could it be that it has already passed!"

Although they set off two days later than Taro Hirata, it only took them half a day and they traveled more than 100 miles, and they arrived at about 10 o'clock in the morning on the third day after the departure of the Japanese baggage team.

It's already afternoon now, and I haven't even seen a ghost, Sun Dabiao is a little breathless, the battle has been fought for so many days, and the cavalry battalion has not yet opened, as the battalion commander, Sun Dabiao is of course very anxious.

"Sun Dabiao, what do you mean by this, you can't trust the brother of our reconnaissance battalion, right?"

As soon as Li Yong heard Sun Dabiao's words, he was immediately unhappy, the information of the devils was provided by their reconnaissance battalion, and when Sun Dabiao said this, he obviously doubted the ability of their reconnaissance battalion.

And the brigade commander is still sitting here, if the brigade commander accepts Sun Dabiao's statement, it will be a huge shame for the reconnaissance battalion.
