Chapter 004 The storm is coming
Japanese Army 45th Regiment Command.
The Grandmaster stood at attention at the commander of the corps captain: "Report to the corps captain, your subordinates have found out the specific origin of the new Chinese army's weapons!"
The commander of the wing captain put down the teacup in his hand and took an investigation report: "Oh, mg34 universal machine gun? Isn't this a fire support weapon for the infantry squad of the Third Reich?"
The master responded: "That's right! The mg34 general machine gun is the backbone of the German Army's infantry support firepower. I think our imperial army headquarters also considered equipping this weapon back then, but unfortunately this weapon was too mouse-like. With a trigger, thousands of bullets were exhausted in three minutes. The empire's logistics supplies were really unbearable!"
The commander of the corps captain thought for a moment, and his face showed a heartache: "The Empire has limited resources, and logistics supplies have always advocated streamlining and saving. I really can't afford to play with such a rich man, but this kind of machine gun has really great lethality. In this battle just now, nearly 200 warriors in the Imperial Army have fulfilled their loyalty to the Emperor."
The master nodded: "Yes, if this general-purpose machine gun can be equipped with our imperial army, it may be no problem to destroy China in three months. I don't know which channel the Chinese army purchased this machine gun. According to the Imperial Intelligence Officer's report, the Third Reich did not sign any military purchase agreement with the Chinese Ministry of Military Affairs for this machine gun."
I don’t know when the commander of the corps team looked gloomy and cried out in a deep voice: “Anyway, I have to find a way to deal with that machine gun. Next time, the corps team leader will no longer see any casualties data about the new Chinese army machine gun killing soldiers in my empire! I wonder what kind of suggestions are there for Major Kawaguchi’s enthusiasm for dealing with the mg34 general machine gun?”
Major Kawaguchi hesitated for a while and said seriously: "The ancient Chinese military strategy said that it is better to cut one finger than to hurt one finger. The soldiers of the empire can concentrate on hitting the machine gun when attacking. Moreover, according to my observation, the machine gun did not appear in other positions of the Nanjing defenders. All weapons were used to focus on attacking the new machine gun. As long as the machine gun could no longer provide suppressing firepower, my 45th Regiment took the Yuhuatai position as simple as drinking sake."
The commander of the corps captain showed a satisfied look on his face: "Kan Kawaguchi's idea is good, it is worthy of being China Communications. It seems that I have not read the wrong person!"
Major Kawaguchi hurriedly bent down at the commander of the corps captain: "Thank you for cultivation by the corps captain, this is just the responsibility of your subordinates!"
The captain of the regiment laughed and then shouted seriously: "Kawaguchi is too arrogant. Who is willing to take the lead in the 123rd brigade and take the position of the Chinese army in one fell swoop?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Miura, who was standing aside, had already volunteered: "The subordinates are willing to take the lead, clear offensive obstacles for the entire 45th Regiment, and avenge their 200 fallen subordinates."
The commander of the corps captain Miura patted the shoulder and reminded him with an extremely serious look: "If you finish the task of putting a machine gun, please ask Miura Jun."
Captain Miura suddenly raised his head and raised his chest, and made a sound at the commander of the corps commander: "Please ensure that the mission is completed and loyal to the emperor!"
The corps captain ordered the other two squadron leaders: "Kun Kumamoto and Takeshita, as the second and third echelons, are ready to support Miura's first brigade at any time!"
Captain Kumamoto and Captain Miura responded in unison: "Hayi!"
Looking around the tent, the corps captain shouted in a muffled voice: "Everyone, the commander of Gu Shoufu Division will arrive in our war zone tomorrow. I hope that all the assistants will work together to win the Yuhuatai in one fell swoop and give Gu Shoufu Division a meeting gift."
The breath of Bushido became stronger and stronger, and the assistants in the field tent shouted in unison: "Take the Yuhuatai and serve the empire, and never refuse to die."
This is the rules of the game in the international community, and the strong prey on the weak.
The strong often like to find pleasure in the weak.
At this time, East Asia was a modern army with strong troops and horses, with the three armies and navy and air forces in order; while China's military structure was seriously unbalanced, and the army was divided and there were many factions, so it was impossible to tie it together.
This Japanese island country is standing on the platform of the strong. Since the September 18th Incident, it has been eyeing the weak Chinese territory.
Whether in the northern battlefield or the southern battlefield, the Japanese army was invincible, conquering cities and territories, and they were invincible and defeated, and they were like a tiger and wolf army in East Asia.
A strong stench is polluting China's peaceful environment, from the fertile northeast, to the flat north China, to the economically developed East China, to the ten-mile foreign market, and then to the heart of the national government, Nanjing.
Command post of the 262nd Brigade, Yuhuatai Central Position.
Chief Zhu was carefully checking a dusty Yuhuatai position layout map.
The deputy brigade commander standing aside smiled and said, "This Preparatory First Regiment just now was a good fight! Although the division headquarters sent 90% of the reinforcements were recruits, they blocked the attack of the elite registrars of the Sixth Division. It's not bad! It's bloody! Like the soldiers of the 262nd Brigade of our 88th Division."
Chief Zhu threw the pencil in his hand and responded: "You can't tell me. At first, I thought I had to reinforce the First Preparatory Regiment. Unexpectedly, the First Preparatory Regiment not only suffered a lot of casualties, but actually killed nearly two hundred Japanese. Hey, who is the leader of the First Preparatory Regiment?"
The eyes moved away from the map, and the deputy brigade commander pushed a pair of glasses slightly: "Liang Shanhao, the Infantry Department of the Central Military Academy, although this kid has just come out of the military academy to lead troops, he is much more capable than the military chiefs of our other two main regiments."
Chief Zhu nodded and shouted: "Communication officer, give me a telegram commander to the brigade headquarters for a meeting, and the other two commanders also call over."
Communications platoon leader: "Report to the brigade, the Japanese gunfire just now broke our phone line and we couldn't contact us by phone!"
Chief Zhu's face slightly sank: "Have the phone line been repaired? It must be repaired within ten minutes, and the Japanese are about to attack! It delays the transmission of military messages, so you can come and see you!"
The communication platoon leader responded repeatedly: "Yes! Ensure the completion of the task!"
The deputy brigade commander who had been silent also ordered: "Send a few correspondents to run and notify the three regiment commanders to attend the brigade headquarters for a meeting! Quick!"
The communications platoon leader responded: "Yes!"
Seeing the communication platoon leader running out of the command post, Chief Zhu smiled at the deputy brigade commander: "Haha! Those who know me are the deputy brigade."
The deputy brigade commander replied: "The brigade seat, this boy named Liang has two tricks. We have to see what tricks he has to defend. The Japanese have been attacking too fierce recently and don't want to make a move. The brigade has a total of 3,000 people in the Yuhuatai. I'm afraid they can't hold on for a few days."
The Yuhuatai position is the gateway of the Zhonghua Gate. Once the Yuhuatai falls into the enemy, the Japanese can kill the Zhonghua Gate and threaten the city defense of Nanjing.
The new 1st Brigade of the 88th Division guarding Nanjing Zhonghua Gate was almost all recruits, and their weapons were not all German weapons. The combat power was simply not comparable to that of the 262nd Brigade and the 264th Brigade, let alone face to face with the Japanese.
The 262nd Brigade must and the 264th Brigade must guard the entire Yuhuatai defense zone, and no Japanese can be put in.
There are still millions of ordinary people in the city.
Once the Japanese kill in, the people will suffer.
As one of the military chiefs of Yuhuatai position, Chief Zhu knew that he had a great responsibility.
Chief Zhu replied in a deep thought: "I have this intention. A freshman military academy student actually fought so well in the first battle. I guess there is something extraordinary, so I have to make good use of it."
Deputy Brigade Commander: "What the brigade says is very true."
A general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies. However, an excellent commander can maximize the energy of limited troops, give the enemy significant damage, and at the same time save himself.
Therefore, the two brigade-level commanders attached great importance to the excavation and use of regiment-level officers. An excellent commander is really important to a unit.
As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find.
