Chapter 129: A Quiet and Restless Night
The night was quiet, there was no gunfire, not even the artillery, not even a flare.
With the return of the tanks, everyone in the Sixing warehouse was relieved.
The tank, which had been hit by heavy artillery, was piloted by the Japanese prisoner of war. It's a pity that none of the four people in the tank escaped back.
However, for Xie Jinyuan, as long as Zhang Sixing plus Hansen. It's good that Raul is back. As the sniper and artillery leader of the Sixing Warehouse, half of the country is still there when they come back.
As far as Cao Zijin is concerned, when Lieutenant Colonel Marcus returns, he has no problem with his duties.
In the end, for Zhang Sixing, it would be a pity if Tetsujiro Yamaoka hung up. If you can really get out of the Sixing warehouse, you really have the heart to compete with this goods a few more times.
It is best to combine the knife skills you have learned, and then cooperate with the "Eight Knives to Break the Blade" to study the knife technique of breaking the spear with a big knife.
But this night, in fact, no one on either side of the war was idle.
Let's talk about the four lines of warehouses first, and most of the people on the third floor can rest. Except for the machine gunners who were on duty at different points, most of them were able to sleep for almost six hours.
The snipers on the roof of the building take turns to be on duty, and one person is on duty for two hours.
In the miscellaneous barracks, there were also many people resting, but they only went to rest after completing the following work.
Laying mines is the first important thing, and the second is to collect the ammunition left by the Japanese army on the battlefield, especially the ammunition of grenadiers.
Originally, a lot of this thing was captured from the Japanese marines, but the old cigarette pouch Li Youtian's cluster grenadier was fired three times, and 90 pieces were thrown out directly, and there were not a few left at all.
Otherwise, the results of the attack on the barracks at night would have been greater, and one more shot would have been enough for the fleeing Japanese infantry to drink a pot.
After all, it is a covering attack of 900 square meters with almost no dead ends, but unfortunately there is no ammunition.
Therefore, grenadier ammunition is the most important thing when cleaning the battlefield. The second is ammunition, although there are enough guns in the four rows of warehouses, but it really feels like a crime to leave those weapons on the battlefield on a night when there is no danger.
To the disappointment of the old cigarette pouch, two boxes of 7.7 mm ammunition for the machine gun were collected and both were taken by the tankers.
Only 30 rounds of grenadier ammunition were collected, which was only enough for a single shot from a cluster grenadier.
Well, having a chance to shoot, it's better than nothing.
In addition, the diligent miscellaneous barracks once again laid patches of steel helmet mines outside the building of the Sixing Warehouse. On the contrary, there is no shortage of raw materials for this thing, whether it is bullet casings or stool.
It was the Japanese who were busier, and Shigedo Daiaki, whose artillery team was destroyed, had a headache.
Without artillery cover, there was no possibility of attacking at all, and even just concentrating the routed infantry together took most of the night.
But he didn't blame anyone about this.
It's just that I wonder in my heart, what kind of weapons are those tanks that attack with tongues of fire, what kind of weapons can emit the power of heavy artillery, and the most hateful thing is those grenadiers.
He couldn't understand how it was possible for someone to let dozens of grenadiers be fired together and still cover such a large area neatly when they exploded.
However, he soon got a report, and one of his infantry craftsmen reported it upwards. According to his analysis, it may have been someone who put a grenadier together, something together, and fired it at the same time.
This incident caught the attention of Shigedo, who reported the report to his superiors and suggested that domestic military factories might be able to manufacture similar accessories.
This weapon may not be useful when attacking buildings, but it is definitely a deadly weapon against the enemy's massive infantry charge.
By the way, not only the Chinese army, the old eight, but also the Japanese army have all attracted great attention to this matter.
Like the Japanese side, domestic arsenals have developed such iron frames to equip troops with grenadiers.
Lao Ba didn't have it, so he naturally had to use wood to make a wooden shelf, especially the original people of Lao Ba, who directly used two goats to pull them, and the effect was quite good in mountain warfare.
The Japanese, on the other hand, were used on a large scale in the Pacific theater, inflicting heavy casualties on the U.S. Marine Corps.
These are the afterwords, and they are mentioned in one go.
After doing these things, before dawn Shigedo Daiaki visited, in charge of the command of the Marine Corps on the outer front.
At this moment, most of the officers in the new command post of the Japanese Marine Corps are also not resting.
Because the front-line barracks of the Shigedo Brigade in front were attacked, the marines, who were on the periphery, had to stay all night to guard against enemy attacks. Know that they still have four tanks, in case of another attack.
Of course, another attack is unlikely, and everyone knows that the Chinese troops in the Sixing warehouse have no backup. Otherwise, the Chinese broadcasts would not call them "lonely soldiers of the four elements"
"Wait outside."
Coming to the outside of the Marine Corps headquarters, Shigeto Daiaki motioned to his officers to go in by himself.
At this moment, the command post of the Japanese Marine Corps is busy with itself.
The large-caliber cannon that has just been summoned is the masterpiece of the Marine Corps. After all, at that time, all the commanders in Shigeto Daiaki's headquarters were slightly flustered by those sudden appearances.
Where did those high-power weapons come from, and if they were the standard equipment of the Chinese army, why didn't they take them out in the early stage of combat? There is even speculation that the equipment was given by German or British consuls in the public concessions.
These, of course, were nonsense, until someone thought that the cluster grenadiers were simply the weapons and equipment of the Japanese themselves.
"Salute ......"
For Shigeto Daiaki, although everyone belongs to different branches of the military, the salute is based on the rank.
Therefore, the officers of the Marine Corps, although they were very dissatisfied with Shigedo Daiaki, all stood up straight and saluted in a dignified manner under the command.
Under the electric light, despite the heavy losses suffered by the troops, the tenacious look on Shigeto Daiaki's face did not change.
He returned the salute casually, put down his hand and scanned his eyes at all the people in the command post.
All the marines in the command post looked at him with a little hostility in their eyes at this time.
At the same time, I don't quite understand what this cargo is doing at the command post of the Marine Corps so late.
Could it be that his own troops had suffered heavy losses, and he had come here to trouble the Marines?
That's too inconsistent with a general's demeanor, and in addition, everyone is of different branches of the military, and if you really want to make trouble, people here are not so easy to talk to.
Shigedo Daiaki, who looked around, felt the hostile gaze of the Marine Corps officers. His tenacious expression moved, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and a smile actually appeared on his face,
"Why, no one welcomed me?"
