Chapter 362: Military Police Units
Standing on the tower of Zhonghua Gate, Zhang Sixing observed the battlefield with a telescope, and Zhang Sixing fired a signal flare.
Here, who initially established confidence in the "Four Thousand Demon Kings", the commander of the first-line super-organized regiment waved his hand, and the soldiers of the two battalions advanced again.
Together with them, there were more than a dozen vehicles that supplemented the front line.
This was the only place that Zhang Sixing did not expect, because because of his order, the stragglers searched for cars almost all over the city, and even the motorcycle team even searched around with people who could drive.
In a short time, cars loaded with ammunition and gasoline were driven from all corners and placed on the streets inside the Zhonghua Gate.
Here the car has undergone the most basic modifications.
A big, nailed, so-so wooden box that can be hung on the front of the car. Sandbags removed directly from the fortifications were placed directly on the front and became a defensive layer against bullets.
Even these "big wooden boxes" almost completely obscured the driver's field of vision, which means that the driver only needs to be slightly shorter, he can effectively dodge the bullets fired by him.
Then in the carriage of each car, there were fixed heavy machine guns, 82 mortars equipped with a large number of Guo troops, if none of them were equipped with gasoline barrels and cannons.
Since Zhang Sixing reminded the national government, gasoline barrels, cannons and porcelain grenades have almost become necessary on the battlefield.
Instead, it is easier to transform the porcelain grenade into a submunition that can be projectile from a gasoline barrel cannon. Just fix its firing rope to the plugging plate separated from the firing charge behind the gas drum cannon.
As long as it is fired, the blocking plate with strong resistance will naturally pull the firing rope of the porcelain grenade. Best of all, the six-second delay in the firing tube will cause the submunitions fired by the gasoline barrel cannon to form a full air-blast effect when attacking at a certain angle and range.
Of course, this is just an emergency weapon, and compared to the big killing weapon that the paratroopers are equipped with after they officially become the army, this thing is really just a toy.
With the armored cars of the car modification in the back in place, the entire attack group moved on.
It was only the battalion that had been raided before it was withdrawn to the rear, and they were to be re-stuffed with a large number of skirmishers near the city gates, and re-enshrined in a fully manned battalion.
At this time, the time was close to twenty-two o'clock, and the integration of troops in the city had already reached a slight scale after all kinds of efforts.
As long as they become a super-formed regiment of five battalions, Zhang Sixing will drive them out of the city and let them watch the battle from the sidelines while protecting the flanks of the assault troops.
But as he sent more men, the more stragglers came from all over the city.
Fortunately, perhaps the legendary "Four Elements Demon King" had strict requirements, so basically all the soldiers brought their own rifles and brought four hundred bullets. Others simply pulled carts loaded with rifles and bullets.
It was precisely because of this supplement that Zhang Sixing's troops attacking the Japanese 18th Division did not worry about having no bullets at all. However, it has to be said that the organization and combat capability of the stragglers are really poor.
After all, the 18th Division is only the first line of defense of the Japanese army, and it may not be long before the 9th Division and the 6th Division will send troops to reinforce it. In addition, his purpose in preemptively launching the war was to attract enemy troops from other directions to rush in for reinforcements.
If, according to history, the two armies of the Cantonese army, which obeyed the order to break through from the front, only gathered 8,000 men, it would be too miserable.
Of course, he also understands that he is poor and white, and he is powerless to change history, and the only thing that can bring out more veterans may be more in line with the needs.
Just when he felt a little headache as he watched more and more stragglers, suddenly a team of well-equipped and neat troops appeared in his sight.
The leader of the team who came soon came to Zhang Sixing's side and reported to him,
"Sir, we are the Qingliangshan garrison of the gendarmerie force. The subordinate officer was Luo Yousheng, the commander of the Second Military Police Regiment, and although our army suffered considerable losses in the battle with the Japanese Sixth Division, we could still fight. ”
Zhang Sixing loves to hear the words "can also fight", and those who dare to say that their troops can still fight at this time are definitely the elite of the elite.
Then he learned the power in his hands from Luo Yousheng and his mouth.
Originally, the task of Luo Yousheng's department was to defend the Qingliangshan area, and he had the Second Military Police Regiment, the Military Police Training Regiment, the Military Police Heavy Machine Gun Battalion, the Fifth Military Police Military Police Regiment, the Military Police Communication Teaching Team, and the Military Police Special Service Battalion.
The casualties of the two gendarmerie regiments and the heavy machine-gun battalion in the main battle were considerable, but the gendarmerie communications training team, the gendarmerie special service battalion, and the gendarmerie training regiment suffered relatively small casualties. Therefore, when they heard that Zhang Sixing was organizing a breakthrough here, they came with all the weapons and equipment they could bring.
It was precisely because of the waste of time to collect weapons, ammunition, etc., that they also brought a dozen other trucks.
"Major General Luo, now your remaining military police regiment and military police training regiment are the backbone, and they will be supplemented into ten battalions of blocking troops from the stragglers. If you get out of Qingliang Mountain, the Sixth Division may come here soon. Therefore, please set up a blocking position here and keep the Zhonghua Gate open. ”
Zhang Sixing's order obviously made Luo Yousheng a little puzzled, didn't he say to break through. And if the soldiers of the regiment they teach are blocked, they are only afraid of ......
Seeing Major General Luo Yousheng's doubts, Zhang Sixing pulled one of his subordinates,
"Don't worry, General Luo, I will lead the evacuation with you. As for why it was blocked, you look at the skirmishers who were coming, and ...... Our official breakout was at twelve o'clock in the morning, so we had to hold on now. ”
Speaking of which, Zhang Sixing didn't go on, there were crowded soldiers under the city, and in the distance there were groups of stragglers who came in groups, as well as a large group of ordinary people dressed in ordinary clothes.
If it weren't for Zhang Sixing sending someone to stop him, I was afraid that the neighborhood near Zhonghua Gate would be even more chaotic.
Seeing the chaotic scene and Zhang Sixing's firm eyes, Luo Yousheng gave a military salute and answered loudly, and then turned around to leave. He didn't need to ask him to see that it was not easy to engage in street fighting here.
"Don't be busy, bring my people with you, he is an expert in treacherous mines, he uses grenades and bullets to lay mines, he can deploy as much as he can, and he can deploy as far as he can."
Hearing Zhang Sixing say this, Luo Yousheng knew that he didn't have much time. He not only needs to reorganize the troops, but also needs the soldiers under Principal Zhang in front of him to set up tricks, and the time is tight enough for him to be busy.
As for why Zhang Sixing left behind the Military Police Teaching Corps, the Military Police Communication Teaching Team, and the Military Police Special Service Battalion.
Quite simply, the Gendarmerie Training Corps is a training corps-like presence in the gendarmerie. Probably similar to the sergeant battalion of the teaching corps, they are all future junior officers or senior sergeants.
Then with them as the backbone, a considerable number of relatively elite troops can be formed. As for the military police special service battalion, it is natural to play with short guns and big knives to assault.
And the military police communication training battalion, compared to China, which is full of illiterates, this is a high-level talent. It is a pity that the Japanese died under the knife of the Jinling Massacre.
As the time approached eleven o'clock, Major General Luo Yousheng had two military police regiments supplemented to ten battalions, and established a defensive line mainly west of Zhonghua Gate.
Of course, it is arranged in large quantities, bullet mines and porcelain grenades made of trick mines.
In the future, when the Sixth Division arrives, it should not consider how to fight with people 300 meters away, but should consider the 300-meter-wide minefield, which will be dismantled in what year and month it will take to complete it.
