To be honest, using flesh and blood to deal with steel machinery.
When you face the bloody battlefield, the huge roar of the tank engine rings in your ears. Facing the rampage of the torrent of steel, even if the soldiers have extraordinary willpower, are they not afraid deep down in their hearts?
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have a revolutionary spirit that is not afraid of hardship or death, and a heroic spirit that overwhelms all enemies.
But this does not mean that when facing death, their hearts can be truly calm.
On the battlefield in the Taihang base area, due to the ravines and complex terrain, it was difficult for the Japanese tanks to deploy and there was not much room for them to be used.
Therefore, the soldiers of the first detachment did not have many confrontations with Japanese tanks.
In addition, Kong Jie has already conducted anti-tank combat training in the regiment. The soldiers have a good understanding of the structure and weak points of the Japanese tank itself and have rich experience in anti-tank combat.
Some tanks sent by the Japanese to the first detachment were successfully destroyed by the soldiers without much effort.
This left an impression on the soldiers of the first team.
I feel like the Japs’ iron bastards seem to be just like that.
But the actual situation is not like this.
When the cluster of tanks finds a suitable combat terrain.
For example, in the plains of central Hebei, after the Japanese used a large number of tanks and armor, the troops in central Hebei were defeated steadily and could only rely on tunnels to hide underground.
On the battlefield against the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines.
This shows the huge war advantage that the Japanese have achieved by using tanks.
After the soldiers of the commando team and the guard company rushed to Jizhong this time, they were likely to face tanks and armored vehicles appearing in the Japanese swarm.
A few tanks or armored vehicles occasionally appear in the Taihang base area, but it is very likely that more than a dozen or even dozens of them will appear at once in the Jizhong Plain.
The crisis faced by the soldiers will be disastrous if the command fails to respond properly.
Don't look at Duan Peng, the monk just answered with a solemn promise that he will complete the task.
But in fact, considering the huge pressure brought by the use of tanks and armored vehicles by the Japs in the Jizhong Plain, the two men were already racking their brains to recall what they had learned in the past and secretly preparing for the problem of how to launch anti-tank operations after arriving in Jizhong. Now we have this modified 37mm anti-tank gun.
Logistics Department Minister Dong San is not invincible. Since he dares to introduce the power of this anti-tank gun, the effect will definitely be the same.
With such an anti-tank weapon in hand, aren't the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles just like a pile of scrap metal?
The monk with shining eyes had already rushed to the side of the 37mm anti-tanks, looking at Dong San and said:
"Old Dong, why didn't you take out these good things earlier?"
The monk has an outspoken personality. He and Dong San spent time in a prisoner-of-war camp, and were later rescued by Kong Jie together. The two have an irreversible relationship.
Dong San rolled his eyes at the monk and said, "This anti-tank gun was only successfully modified by our Military Industry Research Institute."
"Then let's get a few more guns. Just these five. How can we use them? If we can get ten or twenty guns, we can drag these anti-tank guns over. No matter how many tanks and armored vehicles the Japanese have, they are not enough for us to fight.
." The monk said happily,
Dong San shook his head and said speechlessly: "Then you are thinking too much. At present, there are not many anti-tank guns modified and produced by our repair shop. The regiment commander basically transferred all of them to you this time.
Isn’t this enough?”
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Monk, if there were enough anti-tank guns and no shortage of shells, would I still need to send your guard company and commandos to reinforce Jizhong?
I will transport the artillery directly to the Jizhong troops, and they will be able to deal with the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles by themselves."
This is true.
The Eighth Route Army troops have always lacked anti-tank firepower.
Otherwise, the Japanese would not have driven some light tanks with armor as thin as paper, and would have dared to show off their power on the battlefield behind enemy lines.
Dong San then started to introduce the second piece of equipment.
Looking at the weird curved steel boxes in the trunk of the repurposed military motorcycle, the monk picked up one in confusion, weighed it, and said doubtfully:
"Hey, what kind of new weapon is this? What does it say in front of this, facing the enemy here? What does it mean?"
Kong Jie was silent, with an inscrutable look on his face.
Dong San smiled, and then, while the monk Duan Peng and the soldiers were first confused, then surprised, and finally full of shock, he introduced in detail the directional reflex device that was officially named "King of Killing" with Kong Jie's consent.
How infantry mines kill enemies and their terrifying power.
Gudong——
After listening to Dong San's introduction, the third platoon leader couldn't help but swallowed. He held the broadsword mine in his hand with some trembling, carefully placed it on the motorcycle, and then said with a look of horror:
"Company Commander, good guy, just such a landmine explodes in one go. If our security company is within the killing range, it is estimated that one-third of the casualties will be killed in one go. This is simply devilish!"
The monk nodded with deep sympathy.
After the shock, there is excitement from the bottom of my heart.
"Comrades, this King of Killing is very suitable for the plain combat terrain of Jizhong. When we go to Jizhong this time, I am afraid that it will become a nightmare for the Japs in Jizhong, and the little Japs will even wake up from their dreams.
Got it!"
Finally, Kong Jie gave the soldiers another surprise.
John sent a batch of semi-automatic M1 Garand rifles last time. In addition to the 900 sent to Zhongtiao Mountain,
Kong Jie allocated 100 of the remaining 300 rifles as spare equipment for the monk and Duan Peng and his party.
Coupled with the guard company and the commando team, it was originally the most well-equipped team in the entire first detachment.
Take machine guns and artillery for example.
While other units of the Eighth Route Army are probably still using sporadic grenades, the troops of the first detachment have basically used 50 small artillery pieces.
While other teams in the first team were still using 50 cannons.

The commandos and guard companies have long used light mortars from the 50s and 60s.
As for the machine guns, the soldiers used American Browning machine guns, British Bren machine guns, and at worst they were imitations of the more sophisticated Czech ones.
Whichever one of these is pulled out, it can crush the devil's crooked handle and beat him severely.
The rifle used is Garand, which is a medium-sized and medium-sized Enfield rifle.
Commander Kong gave a solution to the problem of bullet caliber. This time, sufficient spare ammunition was provided.
In Kong Jie's words, it's enough for you to fight in Jizhong for three days and three nights.
Each soldier is equipped with at least three bullet boxes.
This does not include the additional ammunition transported by the transport team, including the transport convoy equipped for the guard company and the commando team to go to Jizhong this time, modified motorcycles, bicycles with transport frames, cyclists, etc.<
/p>
In the words of Commander Kong: "If I don't tell you to send more transport vehicles, I'm afraid you won't be able to send them back after you seize the equipment."
In addition, compared with Kong Jie's original difficulties in developing an independent regiment, the conditions for the soldiers of the guard company and commando team are now countless times better.
Once the ammunition is empty, the equipment will be damaged.
At any time, there will be the First Detachment, a wealthy family, as a logistical supply.
It is no longer like the difficulties in the early days of the Independent Regiment, because there is no logistical supply, and even a bullet can be broken into two halves for use.
Looking at the reinforcement team created by Kong Jie.
All members wore uniforms, wearing camouflage-modified eight-way helmets, backpacks, and military boots... Dong San said with emotion:
"Captain, you have really spent a lot of money this time. This is not like an Eighth Route Army unit. It is simply like a transport team transporting equipment and ammunition. Not only is it so fat, it is so fat.
It’s rubbish!”
Chief of Staff Xu Guoan, who came to see the soldiers off, muttered: "Fortunately, the brigade commander didn't see this scene."
Kong Jie couldn't help but trembled: "..."
This bastard old Xu really doesn’t want to pick up any of the pots.
Since the development of the first detachment, the brigade commander has been running here frequently, getting equipment and ammunition, food and vegetable seeds, and he has never left empty-handed.
On the other hand, that boy Li Yunlong is living a very happy life these days.
Sometimes he even led the team himself and took the infantry guns in his regiment out for a walk to scare the little devils.
One of the group leaders asked: "Old Li, you are so rich and powerful, you are not afraid of being remembered anymore?"
At this time, Captain Li will tell you with a smile:
"What are you afraid of? Let me tell you, the brigade commander will never come to me again to congratulate me on getting rich. Why? Because that big dog Lao Kong is standing in front of me!"
...On the training ground, the heavily armed soldiers looked at the sophisticated equipment they were wearing, carrying, and carrying, and it just felt like they were dreaming.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh naively.
I have never been so well-equipped in my life. I was armed to the bone.
In this way, after all preparations were completed, under the watch of Kong Jie, the commando team led by Monk and Duan Peng and the soldiers of the guard company secretly left the ground detachment and set off along the secret transportation channel between the first detachment and Jizhong
.
Looking at the soldiers' retreating figures, Xu Guoan, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but said: "Old Kong, you are sending a magic weapon to our comrades in Jizhong!"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "There is still a long distance between Jizhong and our base area. The situation is urgent now. Our reinforcement of the troops in the past depends on the quality, not the number of people."
"Monk and Duan Peng, I have repeatedly explained that this reinforcement is not only to assist the comrades in Jizhong to fight the Japanese, but also to teach the comrades in Jizhong how to fight the Japanese and how to deal with Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!"
"Having said that, why do you do this? Because the commando team and the guard company represent the image of our first team."
"We have to be the king of Chuzhuang. If we don't sing, we will be amazing. If we do, we will be amazing!"
"The little devils in Jizhong should know the name of our first team!"
