On the way here, Xia Yuan had already expected what the other party would say. Platoon Commander Zhao boasted about how many Japanese troops they destroyed last night, which attracted the attention of many people, but more people thought they were talking big words.
However, the weapons and equipment they carry are proving something all the time.
The Japanese machine gun firepower point is very difficult to deal with. Unless the Japanese machine gun firepower point is blown up, this will cause the Japanese machine gun to be damaged. It is very difficult to capture a complete and undamaged Japanese machine gun on the battlefield.
Two heavy machine guns with crooked handles and a number of machine gun ammunition were enough to prove that what they said had a certain degree of credibility.
The Japanese detachment was almost equivalent to a squad and was the smallest tactical position in the Army Department of the Japanese invaders.
An infantry detachment of the Japanese army has 13 people, including the detachment leader (squad leader), 4 machine gunners and 8 riflemen.
There is a light machine gun with a staff of 4, namely the team leader, shooter, and two assistant shooters who carry ammunition. They are equipped with self-defense pistols and sometimes carry rifles during battle. The remaining 8 riflemen are divided into 2 combat groups, each with 1
A single-shot rifle. The squad leader (squad leader) is the sergeant or corps leader. The squad has 8 rifles, 1 light machine gun, and 4 pistols. Among specially reinforced units, the reinforced squad will be equipped with an additional 50mm rifle carried by two people.
Grenadier.
After pondering for a moment, Xia Yuan said: "Sir, we eliminated three Japanese troops and captured a lot of good things."
"Two Japanese light machine guns have proven what you said, but we don't rule out the possibility of luck. In addition to the Japanese light machine guns, are there anything else?"
Qiu Xingxiang looked Xia Yuan up and down. He was wearing Japanese-style equipment, carrying a bulging bag behind him, and the bedding was also captured by the Japanese army.
He knew in his heart that the equipment in the recruit camp was just like that. They were all pulled from the battlefield when the battlefield was being cleaned. The equipment was stained with blood and rancid, and was soaked in the ditch. He washed it casually and then dried it.
Get up, wait until new recruits join the regiment, and bring it to the new recruits to use.
The same is true for weapons and equipment. Some weapons and equipment cannot even be pulled open, and the internal parts are rusty. When they go to the battlefield, their chambers will often explode. When the recruit camp takes such weapons and equipment to the battlefield, without exception, all the weapons and equipment will explode.
It's cannon fodder.
Therefore, he admired Xia Yuan very much. It was a very arduous process to start from scratch, especially with such a group of recruits who had no fighting ability.
As for why he is not Platoon Leader Zhao, he has investigated Platoon Leader Zhao. He has fought in the warlord melee for several years and has not received any medals. Almost all the people in the company are dead, so he became a platoon leader. The newly recruited soldiers are also all
There were heavy casualties. How could such a person lead them to eliminate three squadrons of Japanese troops?
The others were even less likely, but Xia Yuan acted like the backbone of the five of them.
He was looking forward to Xia Yuan bringing out more things. The more things he brought out, the more accurate his ideas were. Of course, if the other party's things were picked up from the battlefield, he had another way.
"I wonder what the commander wants? Since the commander said that we have proved what I said with the crooked light machine gun, then if I take out other things, it just means that I have taken more things away from the Japanese devils.
"
Xia Yuan was not afraid of Qiu Xingxiang at all, his tone was calm and calm, and his brain was moving very quickly.
Commander Qiu Xingxiang came out of Whampoa Military Academy and saw many young talents, but few of them could lead a few soldiers to eliminate three Japanese detachments on the battlefield. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was far superior to that of the national army. Even those who had gone through
There is still a huge gap between the weaponry and equipment of the German weapons trained by the Germans and that of the Japanese army.
This gap cannot be easily bridged.
Having witnessed the ferocity of the Japanese army and the defeat of the National Army soldiers, not only Qiu Xingxiang himself, but many National Army soldiers and even Eighth Route Army soldiers worshiped heroes very much.
Therefore, he was very curious and even felt a little excited when he heard that someone led a few recruits and wiped out three detachments of Japanese troops.
If what the other party says is true, he doesn't mind rewarding the soldier heavily.
"Interesting, Old Sun, look at this soldier. He didn't panic at all when he faced us, hahahaha." Qiu Xingxiang smiled happily. The more this soldier behaved like this, the more it confirmed his inner inference.
"Okay, I don't need to ask you what else you took, but I want to confirm that last night, the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 401st Regiment attacked in the direction of Qiaojiazhai, where a small group of Japanese troops were stationed. The geographical location is not the same.
Not good. For the Japanese army, it was a good place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. But for us, it was very difficult to attack. I contacted the 18th Division of the 6th Division that took over the defense of the 401st Regiment and the 397th Regiment.
trip."
"This Qiaojiazhai is also the direction of their attack. I will give you a company. If you can defeat Qiaojiazhai with minimal casualties today, I will make you the company commander."
Xia Yuan's heart skipped a beat, he looked up at Qiu Xingxiang, and asked in disbelief: "Is this true?"
"Hahahaha, of course I take what I say seriously, but if there are conditions, you can knock down Qiaojiazhai with minimal casualties." Qiu Xingxiang laughed loudly and said: "A Japanese squad consists of three units and an equipment
The grenade detachment consists of three grenade launchers, with a total of 54 people. When the configuration is strengthened, each detachment has 15 people, and one grenade launcher is strengthened, and the entire team has 62 people. The Japanese army in Qiaojiazhai is a team of more than 60 people.
The team is equipped with a large number of grenades, equipped with at least two Type 92 heavy machine guns and five crooked light machine guns. If you can capture the Japanese Qiaojiazhai with less than 60 casualties, don't say anything.
Company commander, even battalion commander, I can give it to you."
"Okay!" Xia Yuan's eyes lit up, "Give me the position of battalion commander. You don't need a company, just a platoon."
Ha, what an unexpected surprise. It works, and I have the status of a battalion commander in the regular army. This is a good deal.
"Old Sun, give him my guard platoon." Qiu Xingxiang was in a bold mood. If he really was a talented person, he would definitely not let him go.
"Team seat." Adjutant Sun thought that Qiu Xingxiang's behavior was a bit reckless. A platoon of more than 30 people went to fight a small team of Japanese soldiers. The combat level of the Japanese army is obvious to all. In the past battles, there was no battle loss ratio above five.
.
He looked at Xia Yuan, this guy was really not afraid of losing his waist when he told lies.
A Japanese squad had two Type 92 heavy machine guns, five crooked handles, and more than three grenades. Such an equipment configuration would require at least a battalion of troops, which might not be enough. And he actually said that he only needed one
Row.
"Get it done right away!" Commander Qiu waved his hand, and Adjutant Sun had no choice but to do it. After a while, more than 30 soldiers armed with Sten submachine guns lined up neatly, and the equipment was luxurious. They were worthy of Commander Qiu's security squad. That's it.
The firepower configuration, the standard firepower platoon configuration, is really too incompetent to be used as a guard squad.
"Then I'm welcome." Xia Yuan laughed, stepped forward and looked at the guard platoon in front of him.
"Captain, this..." The guard platoon leader's surname is Qiu. His name is Qiu Zhengfu. He is Captain Qiu's cousin. He can be trusted to be the guard platoon leader.
Commander Qiu said: "In the following time, you must obey his orders."
Qiu Zhengfu looked at the guy who came out of nowhere in front of him. His mind did not turn around for a while. He was stunned for a while and said: "Captain, are we going to perform some mission?"
Commander Qiu nodded and said, "Well, there is a small group of Japanese troops stationed in Qiaojiazhai. Your mission is to knock down Qiaojiazhai. Xia Yuan is a recruit from the Yudi recruit camp. You will temporarily obey his command."
Qiu Zhengfu was even more confused. The mission of the guard platoon had always been to protect the regiment leader, but now they were going to perform tasks outside. He glanced at Xia Yuan, and his mind was buzzing. What are the recruits from the Yudi recruit camp? What are they going to do?
It's a joke, they have to obey the orders of a new recruit from the Yudi Recruitment Camp.
"Captain, are you kidding me? We have to obey his orders?"
Qiu Zhengfu asked again in disbelief.
"Well, obey his order. What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Captain Qiu smiled and called, "Xia Yuan, come here."
"Hey." Xia Yuan walked over and glanced at Qiu Zhengfu. Seeing that the other party was also sizing him up, Xia Yuan felt enlightened.
"This is the platoon leader of the security platoon, Qiu Zhengfu..." Commander Qiu introduced briefly, and then said: "If you have any dissatisfaction, just mention it and I will guide you through it."
"Captain, a new recruit can lead us to attack Qiaojiagou. Don't be kidding me. Last night, three companies fought all night, and they didn't even get into the forward positions. The company commanders of those companies are all crazy.
Baizhang, this guy looks so young and a new recruit, why should he take us to fight Qiaojiagou?"
Qiu Zhengfu immediately heard the implication of Commander Qiu's words, and immediately turned around and looked at the brothers in the guard platoon: "The big guy said, isn't it?"
"yes!"
"Captain, we are not convinced. He is a new soldier, why should we listen to him?"
"It's just that three companies failed to capture Qiaojiagou, so we were asked to attack it as a platoon, and we also followed a new recruit. Commander, we are not afraid of death, but we don't want to follow him like this."
The thirty or so people in the guard platoon started howling immediately, looking at Xia Yuan with increasingly unkind eyes.
Seeing this scene, Captain Qiu felt that it was almost done, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, everyone's resentment is not small. This is an order. What, are you preparing to go to heaven?"
After reprimanding the soldiers in the guard platoon, he turned around and looked at Xia Yuan, "Xia Yuan, these guard platoons of mine are all good soldiers selected from a million. Their marksmanship is first-rate. It is certain that they will not admit defeat.
"
Xia Yuan's heart moved. He wanted to show off how thick his wrists were. If they weren't thick, he really wouldn't be able to carry them.
He smiled: "Captain, just pick up any platoon. It doesn't need to be so troublesome. Besides, you don't need to test me."
After that, he took out a grenade from his arms. When everyone saw it, they were shocked. The submachine gun muzzle of the guard platoon was pointed at Xia Yuan, and soldiers from the guard platoon stood in front of Captain Qiu.
"Don't be nervous, the Japs' Type 91 grenades have pretty good insurance capabilities." Xia Yuan said, throwing the grenade out with all his strength. The grenade drew a long parabola in the sky, and everyone watched the grenade fly away.
The grenades that were farther away looked at Xia Yuan in shock.
Is this guy still human? He can throw a grenade this far.
They looked at Xia Yuan, and saw this guy slowly setting up his gun, aiming at the black spot in the distance, and fired with a bang. Everyone looked quickly and saw that the black spot in the distance was hit by something invisible.
, broken into pieces and scattered in the air.
There was no explosion as imagined, but the flying grenade was directly destroyed by 38 bullets.
Shocked and stunned, everyone was stunned and watched in disbelief as a piece of dust floated in the sky and dissipated in the air.
Qiu Zhengfu was stunned. He opened his mouth for a long time and was stunned for a long time.
Shooting a grenade that flew so far with a bullet, the former and the latter gave them a huge shock.
The soldiers in the guard platoon were stunned for a long time. They looked at Xia Yuan in disbelief as they watched the grenades in the sky being shattered and the gunpowder floating around and gradually disappearing.
"Okay! Okay! Hahahaha! It's amazing. I've never seen any soldier who can hit with such accuracy. You are the first one I've seen!" Commander Qiu laughed loudly and looked extremely happy.
, the more powerful Xia Yuan showed, the more he was able to prove that they had succeeded in destroying three Japanese troops.
It is even possible to knock down Qiao's house.
Adjutant Sun walked out from behind the soldier, looked at the gunpowder dust dissipating in the distance, and turned to look at Xia Yuan with a bit of admiration in his eyes. He no longer looked down on this soldier.
"I have nothing to say, so let's go. I'm waiting for your good news. If I really want to knock down Qiao's house, why not give you a battalion commander." Commander Qiu was in a good mood, and he unexpectedly picked it up from the battlefield.
Got a baby.
Their marksmanship is so powerful. On the battlefield, sniping and killing the little Japanese commander will be more effective than directly attacking the little Japanese attacking troops.
"Captain Qiu, I don't need a battalion commander, just give me a company commander."
Xia Yuan knew very well that most of the officers in the national army were related to brothers-in-law and family members. As a peasant who walked out of the village, he suddenly had the official position of battalion commander. He didn't know how many people would be ill-willed. Secondly, the battalion commander's management
There are hundreds of men. Now is the critical period of the Songhu Battle. When the manpower is most scarce, this battalion commander will eventually become a mere name.
It is not as realistic as a company commander, even if he is given a platoon, and he has a few people, he can lead a few people to fight the Japanese.
The company commander's position is neither too big nor too small, just right and appropriate.
Be strong and not greedy.
This is Commander Qiu's inner evaluation of Xia Yuan. If it were others, they would wish to raise their military rank as high as possible. Xia Yuan only wants to be a company commander.
"Okay, take down Qiao's house and I'll give you the position of company commander!"
"Let's forget about this security platoon. It's too precious and I can't get used to it."
