Chapter 55 Molotov cocktail

"The teacher's seat is a military member of the Party and the country. He goes to fight to kill the enemy and defends the country. This is a matter of a low-level position, and he should not be rewarded. Besides, if the 215th Regiment had not attacked for a period of time and with the help of the artillery battalion, it would not be easy to capture Shajing Port." Zhang Tianhai's face was very serious, without the slightest joking meaning in it.

After hearing this, Song Xilian nodded in praise, patted Zhang Tianhai on the shoulder, and said to Hu Jiaji beside him: "Decheng, you are better off leading troops. You see, your subordinate is quite humble."

Hu Jiaji smiled and said, "Zhang Tianhai is not only from our 216th Regiment, but also from our 36th Division!"

"Okay, we won't praise each other anymore." As he said, Song Xilian turned his face and said to Zhang Tianhai: "Capital Commander Zhang, you are one of the few officers in our 36th Division who can fight. Let's talk about the summary of the experience of quick victory against the enemy these two times!"

"Yes." Zhang Tianhai responded, and then began his summary: "Second, I believe that the victory of these two battles is inseparable from the officers and soldiers who work together to do their best and do not fear sacrifice. Since our battalion joined the war, the officers and soldiers have taken death as if they were home, and launched an attack on the Japanese army regardless of their own life. Even though our troops suffered heavy losses, they have caused a lot of casualties to the enemy. It is just that our army has fatal flaws in combat."

"What is the flaw? Let's talk about it, we are all soldiers, and there are not so many literati who pay attention to it, just say it." Song Xilian saw Zhang Tianhai's hesitant expression and immediately said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the division seat. Then Bei Zhi said straight." Zhang Tianhai said bluntly, "Our army lacks effective strikes when facing tanks. Bei Zhi believes that in addition to combat artillery and cluster grenades, there should be more convenient and quick methods."

Song Xilian thought for a while and said, "Let me say, if this method is effective, I will remember the merits for you!"

"Yes. Beizhi believes that a gasoline bottle is enough to deal with the Japanese small thin-skinned tank." Zhang Tianhai said seriously. For him, perhaps this gasoline mobilizer, also known as "Molotov cocktail", would be the best choice. He didn't say it before, because of his position at that time and the fierce battle, he didn't think of this. You must know that at this time, even taking down and resting is a luxury.

For the 36th Division, in Zhang Tianhai's limited memory of his previous life, he couldn't remember how long it took to fight, but he knew that the 87th Division and the 88th Division fought from the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle.

Since it is the 87th Division, the two German and armed divisions of the 88th Division fought from the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, there is no reason to let the 36th Division rotate and rest on their own. After all, these three divisions are one!

"Can a gasoline bottle solve a tank?" Song Xilian asked frowned. It was not that he was stupid, but that tanks had not been used on a large scale in this era, but as a novel army. Apart from combat defense cannons and cluster grenades, he had never heard of other weapons that could restrain tanks.

"Yes, it's a gasoline bottle. To be precise, it's a gasoline molten bottle." Zhang Tianhai nodded and said seriously, "We can collect glass bottles, fill gasoline inside, and then use leads to ignite from the outside. As long as the gasoline molten bottle is thrown into the tank fuel tank part, everything will be done."

Song Xilian frowned, turned around twice and asked, "Is this gasoline mobilizer really so effective as you said?"

Zhang Tianhai was about to say that the gasoline mobilizer was used on a large scale during the Soviet-Fenn War, but immediately remembered that the Soviet-Fenn War was in the winter of 1939, but it was only early autumn of 1937.

So, as soon as the words came to his mouth, Zhang Tianhai swallowed it back, and then changed his words and said, "When I returned to the teacher's seat, I dared to use my life as a guarantee. This thing is absolutely effective. After observing, the Japanese tank fuel tank was at the tail, and the tail was exactly the weak point of armor. According to the welding technology of our era, it has not yet reached the point where all the tanks were welded to be impermeable to liquid."

After listening to Zhang Tianhai's explanation, Song Xilian's eyes lit up and said, "This method is feasible. Gasoline is a flammable thing, and the fuel and diesel used by the Japanese tanks are also a flammable thing. Once ignited, it will definitely cause an explosion... Well... This method is really good. Yulin, you are really my blessing. Haha, I want to report my thoughts to the War Zone Chief Office!"

"Sir Xie praised me. Bei Zhi believes that while reporting this method, our division headquarters made a large number of combustors. Shanghai's economy is so prosperous, there are many cars, so finding some gasoline should not be a problem, and it would be even easier to glass bottles." Zhang Tianhai suggested.

Song Xilian thought for a while and said, "Okay, no problem. You will be responsible for this matter! You will lead the officers and soldiers of your battalion to carry out this mission."

"But... our regiment commander has not yet..." Zhang Tianhai said with some embarrassment.

But before Zhang Tianhai finished speaking, Song Xilian interrupted him: "Am I the commander of your regiment commander or your regiment commander is my commander? Since this matter was decided by me, you can just go and execute it."

"Yes, the master." Zhang Tianhai stood attentively and saluted, and then went out.

After Zhang Tianhai left, Song Xilian turned to Hu Jiaji and said, "Decheng, I sent your first battalion out. Now your regiment's second battalion is also in battle. Only one third battalion is left, so we will temporarily be the reserve team!"

"Yes." Hu Jiaji sat on the chair and saluted a military salute. After all, he is now a wounded man and his legs are not very convenient.

...

After leaving the regiment headquarters, Zhang Tianhai asked the entire battalion to gather.

In this battle, the one with the most casualties was Li Chunfei's first company, which reduced more than 70 people, while the second and third companies each reduced 30 or 40 people.

Seeing the battalion that shrank by nearly a quarter of this tough battle, Zhang Tianhai really felt distressed: these are all his subordinates and his brothers.

If there were no two artillery companies sent by the division headquarters, Zhang Tianhai would really not know how many casualties would be needed to take Shajing Port!

At the same time, Zhang Tianhai also had a clear understanding of the strength of the Japanese Marine Corps: his will to fight, his marksmanship is accurate, his individual combat power is extremely strong, and his equipment is better than that of the national army, especially in the equipment of light and heavy weapons!

The Japanese Marine Corps may not be as good as the Japanese Army in group combat, but in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they are definitely not weak compared to the Army soldiers.

Although Zhang Tianhai had not officially fought with the Japanese army, he had already noticed it vaguely.
