Chapter 293 The fifty-eighth division is interesting enough
The night was quiet, there was no sound of gunfire, even the cannons were silent, there was not even a single illumination bomb.
With the return of the tanks, everyone in Sihang Warehouse felt relieved.
The tank that was hit by heavy artillery was driven by the Japanese prisoner of war. Unfortunately, none of the four people in the tank escaped.
But for Xie Jinyuan, as long as Zhang Sixing and Hansen Raul come back, it will be fine. As the sniper and artillery leader of the Sixing Warehouse, half of the country of the Sixing Warehouse will still be there after they return.
As for Cao Zijin, once Lieutenant Colonel Marcus returns, he will have no problem with his responsibilities.
Finally, for Zhang Sixing, it would be a pity if Tetsujiro Yamaoka died. If he could really escape from the Sixing warehouse, he would really want to compete with this guy a few more times.
It is best to combine the sword skills you have learned, and then use the "Eight Breaking Swords" to study the sword skills of breaking the spear and stabbing with the broadsword.
But that night, no one on either side of the war was idle.
Let’s talk about Sihang Warehouse first. Most of the people on the third floor can rest. Except for some machine gunners on duty, most people can sleep for nearly six hours.
The snipers on the roof took turns to line up, and each person was on duty for two hours.
In the miscellaneous barracks, many people were also resting, but they only went to rest after completing the following work.
Laying mines is the first important thing, followed by collecting the ammunition left by the Japanese army on the battlefield, especially grenade ammunition.
Originally, a lot of this thing was captured from the Japanese Marine Corps, but the cluster grenade fired by the old smoker Li Youtian was fired three times, and ninety grenades were thrown out, and there were not a few left at all.
Otherwise, the results of attacking the barracks at night would have been greater, and one more shot would have been enough for the escaping Japanese infantry to drink.
After all, it was an attack covering 900 square meters with almost no blind spots, but it was a pity that there was no ammunition.
Therefore, grenade ammunition is the most important thing when cleaning the battlefield. Second is ammunition. Although the guns in the Sihang Warehouse are enough, it really feels like a crime to leave those weapons on the battlefield at night when there is no danger.
To Lao Yandou's dismay, two boxes of 7.7mm bullets for machine guns were collected and given to the tank crew.
Only thirty rounds of grenade ammunition were collected, which was only enough to fire the cluster grenade once.
Well, one shot is better than none.
In addition, the diligent military battalion once again deployed a large number of helmet mines outside the building of Sihang Warehouse. On the contrary, there is no shortage of raw materials for this thing, including bullet casings and feces.
The busier part was the Japanese. Shigeto Oaki, whose artillery team was destroyed, had a headache.
Without artillery cover, there was no possibility of an attack. Even just gathering the defeated infantry together lasted most of the night.
But he didn't blame anyone for this matter.
I just wonder in my heart, what kind of weapons are those tanks that attack with tongues of fire? What kind of weapons can produce the power of heavy artillery? The most disgusting ones are those grenade launchers.
He couldn't understand how someone could let dozens of grenades be fired at the same time and still cover such a large area neatly when they exploded.
However, he soon received a report, and a craftsman among his infantrymen reported it to him. According to his analysis, it was possible that someone combined the grenade with something and then fired it at the same time.
This incident attracted the attention of Shigeto Oaki, who reported the report to his superiors and suggested that domestic military factories might be able to manufacture similar accessories.
This weapon may not be used when attacking buildings, but it is definitely a deadly weapon against large-scale enemy infantry charges.
By the way, this matter has attracted great attention not only from the Chinese army, but also from Laoba and the Japanese army.
Like the Japanese, domestic arsenals have also developed such iron racks to equip troops using grenade launchers.
Laoba didn't have one, so naturally they had to use wood to make a wooden frame. Especially Laoba's original people, theirs was directly pulled by two goats, which was quite effective in mountain operations.
The Japanese used it on a large scale in the Pacific battlefield, causing huge casualties to the U.S. Marine Corps.
These are things to say later and will be mentioned briefly.
After doing these things, before dawn, Shigeto Taiqiu visited the headquarters of the Marine Corps in charge of the outer front.
At this moment, in the new command post of the Japanese Marine Corps, most officers are not resting either.
Because the frontline barracks of the Shigeto brigade on the front was attacked, the Marine Corps on the periphery had to guard against the enemy's attack all night. You must know that they still have four tanks in case of another attack.
Of course, the possibility of another attack is unlikely. Everyone knows that the Chinese troops in the Four Lines Warehouse have no backup. Otherwise, the Chinese broadcasts would not call them the "Four Lines Lone Army"
"You guys wait outside."
Arriving outside the Marine Corps headquarters, Shigeto Oaki motioned to his officers to go in alone.
At this moment, the command post of the Japanese Marine Corps was busy and busy.
The large-caliber cannon just summoned was the masterpiece of the Marine Corps. After all, at that moment, all the commanders in Shigeto Oaki's headquarters were slightly panicked by the sudden appearance.
Where did those powerful weapons come from? If they were the standard equipment of the Chinese army, why were they not used in the early stages of the battle? Some people even speculated that those equipment were given by the German or British consuls in the public concession.
These are of course nonsense, until someone thinks that the cluster grenade is basically the Japanese's own weapons and equipment.
"salute……"
For Chongteng Daqiu, although everyone belongs to different military branches, the salute depends on the military rank.
Therefore, although the officers of the Marine Corps were very dissatisfied with Shigeto Oaki, they all stood up straight at the command and performed military salutes uprightly.
Under the electric light, although the troops suffered heavy losses, the tough look on Shigeto Oaki's face did not change.
He returned the gift casually, put down the hand that was returning the gift, and scanned all the people in the command post.
All the Marines in the command post looked at him with a bit of hostility in their eyes.
At the same time, I didn't quite understand why this guy came to the Marine Corps command post so late at night.
Did he come here to trouble the Marines after his own troops suffered heavy losses?
That would be too unbecoming of a general. Besides, we are all in different branches of the military. If we really want to cause trouble, people here are not easy to talk to.
Shigeto Oaki looked around and felt the hostile gazes of the Marine Corps officers. His tough expression moved, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and a smile actually appeared on his face.
