Chapter 295: You Command Tonight
Those who set out for the night attack included the guard company under Hu Yang, as well as half of the sniper scouts under Zhang Changlin, and the special thing was that they also brought two companies of miscellaneous barracks.
These people didn't look like soldiers, and they were far less powerful than the combatants who had changed their equipment.
They wore only the most basic military uniforms, wearing new steel helmets, no combat vests, but each carrying a stub.
Some carried a pair of gasoline cannons, and some carried two baskets of clay porcelain grenades.
As for the soldiers of the two reinforced battalions, their task was to dig a large number of cat-ear-shaped anti-artillery holes in the trenches overnight, as well as to place enough traps and bullets and mines in front of the position.
These things are all made in the Niushou Mountain Tunnel Factory, and now they are just finishing the layout.
"The men of the miscellaneous battalion followed the reconnaissance team five hundred meters behind, saw the green signal and moved forward. One platoon was responsible for protecting the miscellaneous barracks, and no shots were to be fired without an order......"
In normal times, Zhang Sixing likes to talk about tactics and how to be an officer with his commanders from time to time. Of course, this is not a showmanship, but the stronger the ability of your own men on the battlefield, the more likely you are to survive in dangerous battles again and again.
"This kid is making rapid progress, he was a squad leader when I met him in the miscellaneous barracks, and now he can lead the guard company to act. However, the training is still insufficient, and the battlefield experience is poor. ”
Standing next to Zhang Sixing, Hansen, who was always Zhang Sixing and a fart, was holding a cigarette. Listening to this thing, he felt good, Zhang Sixing couldn't help but splash cold water.
"What about you, after following me for so long, how many people can you bring?"
"It depends on what you ask me to do, play tanks, cavalry, infantry or fly with people in the sky."
Listening to his lazy appearance, Zhang Sixing couldn't help but nod with satisfaction and thought:
This kid is full of intelligence, and when he gets to the paratrooper school, he has to smoke the laziness on this guy for anything.
To be honest, Zhang Sixing has always been unsure, whether he should let the instructors of the paratrooper school become officers who lead the troops after training the paratroopers. Those guys are not weak in combat, but they are a little older.
Although many of them were non-commissioned officers or junior officers in the past, after all, it was a unit composed of Chinese, and it was good to put a group of Germans in. And if they leave the paratrooper school, they will not have to go back to Germany to recruit another group of people.
I am afraid that at that time, World War II has officially begun, and if I want to get some soldiers back from Germany, I am afraid that I can only get some missing arms and legs to come back. It's better to let those guys learn something else in Germany, and maybe use it themselves in the future.
It was a series of schools in Germany in addition to snipers and paratroopers, and the Honorary Military Skills School. The school trains soldiers in skills for the job, depending on their level of disability.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly Hu Yang didn't know what to say, and inadvertently mentioned the word "miscellaneous barracks" again, which immediately caused the dissatisfaction of Li Youtian, the old cigarette pouch who led the team.
"I said Company Commander Hu, it's called the miscellaneous barracks, we are now a baggage battalion, or a logistics battalion, you don't have to talk nonsense."
"I'm sorry Battalion Commander Li, it's a good mouth, and I promise to change it in the future. Now as the person in charge of this operation, I issue the following order, no talking, no removal of face armor during the march, and no smoking for all......"
After announcing the order, Hu Yang trotted to Zhang Sixing,
"Sir, the members of the reconnaissance operation have arrived, please instruct."
Zhang Sixing, who has always disliked a lot of nonsense, nodded and said,
"Action...... Populus euphratica, you command tonight. ”
"Yes"
With a little excitement, Hu Yang came to the front of the team and waved his hand to signal the troops to move forward.
Fortunately, there was a short period of high-intensity training in Jurong, and the reconnaissance company was not familiar with anything else. Military sign language and other signals are familiar enough to be used for silent chats on the battlefield.
Not long after leaving their own position, they encountered a Japanese patrol team.
For the attacking troops, this was a very helpless situation. After all, they had just finished the battle, and they had just settled down, and then the soldiers began to dig non-stop.
The infantry is like this, marching, digging pits, fighting, digging pits, resting, digging pits...... For all infantrymen, digging holes on the battlefield is part of their lives.
At night, Hu Yang, who led the team, gestured to the communicator who was carrying a walkie-talkie seized from the Japanese. The latter uses his fingers to make rhythmic taps on the walkie-talkie transmitter.
It has to be said that several walkie-talkies captured from the devils played a great role in the Battle of Jinling. Although as far as Zhang Sixing is concerned, these equipment, compared to the kind produced by his radio factory, are not too bad.
Whether it is communication distance or other performance, the radio technology of the Japanese is quite backward in the world here. The radar was only remembered after the warship was hit by the shells of the Eagle Sauce Navy in the fog.
At present, there are two left in the Niushou Mountain tunnel, and Zhang Sixing has brought three, what he didn't expect was that his night attack would actually boost the morale of the people in the Niushou Mountain tunnel.
At this moment, the commander in the tunnel in the mountain is Lu Feizhou, and when Xu Wenqian heard the sound of her fingers tapping on the microphone from the radio walkie-talkie, she couldn't help but scream happily, and even her face turned rosy with excitement.
"Sir, I received communications from other walkie-talkies on the scheduled channel, and the sir, who is still fighting, should be conducting another night attack depending on the situation."
Hearing Xu Wenqian's happy words, Lu Feizhou was also happy. After all, after Zhang Si walked, there was a faint undercurrent among the soldiers who remained in the tunnel.
Some soldiers were worried that Zhang Sixing's departure might be sacrificed outside, or that he would not come back. So what about those of them who stayed in the tunnel, especially the foreign woman of the chief who also went with him, it was even more heart-wrenching.
There would be no such rumors under Lu Feizhou, after all, the people of 18GA still quite trust the officers who have fought together for many years. However, this may not be the case with other troops, especially those from the warlord forces, who are often worried that their commanders will leave them and run away.
"Hey, I'll tell you the good news, the walkie-talkie just received a message from the chief, and they are conducting a night raid. Do you hear that, the chief is leading people to carry out a night attack, so everyone should believe that the chief will not leave us. He asked us to ambush here, there must have been a bigger consideration. ”
Through the bamboo pipes connecting the holes, Lu Feizhou sent the sound far away. All the people who heard the news were a little relieved, especially those who came to the warlord's army, who were hearing Xu Xuefan's voice at this moment.
"Hey, hey, listen carefully, Lu Tong...... The commander said that Principal Zhang was leading his troops in a night attack. The chief also said that he would keep everyone informed if there was any news, and please believe that there must be important arrangements for the chief to leave us in the tunnel......"
