PS: Ahem, it’s still a recommendation vote, a recommendation vote!
What everyone saw at this time were piles of neatly arranged weapons, ranging from grenades, pistols, rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, to large-caliber heavy machine guns, and even 80 mortars, telephones, wires, etc.
Things were all lined up majestically, and on the other side were piles of bullets, artillery shells, and other objects. There were even landmines piled up in one corner, and it looked like there were five or six thousand of them.
Many weapons almost filled the hall of more than 100 square meters. Looking at these weapons, everyone felt a feeling of happiness in their hearts.
After a long time, Li Yifeng stammered and asked: "Sir, is this... is this all for us?"
Suri rolled her eyes, "Of course, if I don't use it for you, why should I leave it to the Japanese?"
"Great, great!"
Li Yifeng quickly ran to the weapons, looking at these good things, his mouth was watering. He had been in the Sichuan Army since he was a soldier, and the 22nd Group Army to which he belonged was famous for being bitter in the Sichuan Army.
Even a tattered Hanyang-made product can be regarded as a treasure. Now that I saw so many good things at once, I was so happy that I didn't know what to say.
"Cough cough cough......"
Su Rui coughed a few times and tried to remind Li Yifeng, but he was already immersed in these weapons and did not hear his instructions at all. Su Rui turned around and wanted to say something to Lin Shiqian beside him, but he found that
Lin Shiqian also fell in, staring at the MP38 submachine guns and large-caliber M2 heavy machine guns, but he didn't even notice his own voice.
Su Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that in the eyes of these soldiers, he, the commander, was still not as good as those weapons.
As a last resort, Su Rui had no choice but to clap her hands hard, and the crisp applause woke everyone up from their addiction.
"Okay, everyone looks at me first. Everyone also knows that I was originally the logistics director of the 36th Division. I got many of the weapons here through my connections. I originally wanted to sell them and transfer them to
A sum of money, but it seems that I can't keep it now. Don't be stunned now. Hurry up and load the mortars, artillery shells and other heavy objects into the car. I will drive the car back to the church. If everything goes well.
It will take five or six trips to transport them all, and let the brothers carry the rest of the small items back. Okay, don't stand there in a daze, let's get started!"
Li Yifeng, Lin Shiqian and others finally came to their senses with embarrassment. They had indeed lost their composure just now, and then they directed the soldiers to carry things out and into the car.
There is strength in numbers. When more than 30 soldiers filled a cart with things, the soldiers who were hurrying behind also rushed to this small courtyard. The building in this small courtyard has two floors, which is relatively large here.
There was a tall building, so Su Rui asked Lin Shiqian to send a machine gun team and a squad of soldiers to defend here and serve as lookout posts. He also left a telephone and a large bundle of telephone wires to prepare to take the phone to the church.
After the arrangements were made, our Suri, who had just proclaimed himself the independent battalion commander and driver, drove the car towards the church with a cart full of ammunition.
In this way, I was busy until the sun went down, and then I moved all the weapons and ammunition in the living room back to the church...
The night of December 10, 1937 AD
The weather is very cold and the night is very dark. The cold wind in the winter night makes people feel very uncomfortable. It is biting and cold, blowing on the face like a knife.
Zhang Lingfu looked alone and quietly at the gray night in the distance, watching the Japanese army in front of him launch waves of large-scale shelling on the ruined positions. Amidst the dull explosions, the lower ground shook slightly.
Trembling, smoke lingered in the sky above the position.
At this time, Zhang Lingfu, then the colonel commander of the 305th Regiment of the 153rd Brigade of the 51st Division of the 74th Army, was in a very heavy mood.
At this time, almost all the positions outside Nanjing had fallen. The Japanese army was attacking Guanghua Gate and Zhonghua Gate. The 87th Division responsible for defending Guanghua Gate had suffered 40% losses at this time, while the 51st Division responsible for defending Zhonghua Gate had lost 40% at this time.
The casualties have already exceeded half, and the situation is very critical.
Zhang Lingfu's 305th Regiment was responsible for defending the rocky banks of the moat, where Japanese artillery fire was pouring down continuously. The successive falling shells sent plumes of smoke and water rising up to the sky on the riverside and in the middle of the river.
"You bastards, I am from the 88th Division, you have no right to arrest me!" The curse of an officer who retreated from the front line caught Zhang Lingfu's attention.
"Bah...you shameless deserter, how dare you scream, let me see if I don't beat you to death!" As soon as he finished speaking, a military policeman hit the officer with the butt of his rifle.
On the cheek.
Zhang Lingfu walked up to the officer and squatted down. Zhang Lingfu was very tall, at 1.87 meters, so even when he was squatting, he was a head taller than the officer.
He stared at the officer who was trembling with fear with his sharp eyes and said slowly: "You should know that the commander's department has already issued an order. Anyone who retreats without authorization will be severely punished in accordance with the soldier's law promulgated by Chairman Chiang.
You abandoned your position without authorization and should be shot immediately for your crime. What else do you have to complain about?"
Zhang Lingfu stood up again and said sincerely to the group of ragged soldiers behind the officer: "Brothers, we can no longer retreat. Behind us is Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China, and behind us are our elders.
Folks, anyone who retreats without an order from the commander will be doomed! Commander Tang just issued an order. Those who retreat without authorization must be killed as a warning. Should they die bravely on their own positions, or by the guns of their own people?
Now, you just have to figure it out for yourself!"
After saying that, Zhang Lingfu walked up to the trembling captain officer, kicked him hard, looked at his blood-stained face and said fiercely: "If you are a man, don't be a fucking deserter. It's a shame."
You are still an officer, but you abandoned your brothers who share life and death and ran away on your own, I am ashamed of you!"
Zhang Lingfu's scolding seemed to have touched the captain. He stood up tremblingly and shouted tremblingly: "Brothers, we will die here and we will die if we go back. We might as well go back and fight with the little devils."
At least I can get a martyr. Brothers, come with me!"
After saying that, the officer stood up straight, saluted Zhang Lingfu with a military salute, and then led a group of retreating soldiers in a mess and turned around and ran towards the front that had turned into a sea of fire.
Looking at these soldiers who were dying, Zhang Lingfu's two tears slowly fell from his tough face, and he murmured: "Brothers, don't blame me for being a cruel commander.
, but we have no place to retreat, and the people of Nanjing will suffer if we retreat again..."
While the national army was struggling to support itself, Suri was also giving gun lessons to the soldiers in the church.
At this time, dozens of candles were lit in the church hall, illuminating the hall. Rows of soldiers from the Sichuan Army wearing gray-green uniforms of the Type 36 German Wehrmacht lined up neatly and looked at Suri on the stage.
.
Suri is also wearing a soldier's uniform. The only difference is the rank of major on his collar. There are a bunch of weapons beside him and a brand-new MG34 machine gun in front of him. Suri is looking solemn.
Holding a list that Li Yifeng had prepared, he read the names.
"Zhao Daniu!"
"Here!" A soldier hurried forward.
After giving the gun to the soldier, Su Rui looked at him and said: "I hope you can use this gun to kill the enemy bravely, live up to the high expectations of the villagers, and win glory for the country!"
"Yes! Thanks for the instruction, sir!"
"Okay next one!"
"Wang Er was stunned!"
"arrive!"
…………
Soldiers wearing brand-new military uniforms walked up to Suri one after another and happily received their weapons. Most of them received M1 Garand rifles, while the squad leader and deputy squad leader received MP38 submachine guns.
But there is also a soldier in each squad who receives a 98K Mauser sniper rifle.
This rifle is equipped with a six-power scope, and an excellent shooter can accurately kill enemies up to 600 meters away.
It was Su Rui's idea to equip each infantry squad with a sniper equipped with a sniper rifle. In this morning's battle, Su Rui lost three soldiers and almost died from a Japanese grenade when he returned.
I was thinking hard about how to suppress the Japanese grenade launchers in future battles.
Later, he felt that the best way to suppress the Japanese grenade was to eliminate them outside the range of the Japanese grenade. Only snipers equipped with sniper rifles could do this, so he referred to
Following the practice of the US military, one soldier from each infantry squad who shoots the most accurately is selected as a sniper.
Their primary targets for elimination are Japanese commanders, gunners, grenadiers and other targets of high value and the greatest harm to themselves.
After Suri's planning and reorganization, the infantry under his command is now composed of twelve people per squad. The squad leader and deputy squad leader carry MP38 submachine guns, nine soldiers carry M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, and one soldier with good marksmanship carries a 98K sniper rifle.
Each platoon is equipped with one MG34 machine gun, and the company headquarters has an additional firepower squad. The squad has three MG34 machine guns as the supporting firepower in the hands of the company commander.
The largest artillery support was the fire platoon carrying twelve squeeze guns led by Wang Dezi. This was also the only mobile support force in Suri's hands.
Looking at the soldiers below who were happily distributing weapons, Su Rui sighed softly and thought to himself that if his prediction was good, the rout would begin tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. A mere few hundred of his own could withstand the Japanese army.
Can he even lead these soldiers to safely withdraw from Nanjing with his crazy attack?
