"Division Commander, Division Commander, according to the information sent from the Parachute School, we are facing the Japanese Sixth Division."
"The commander of the Japanese Sixth Division is Lieutenant General Hisao Tani. He is a fierce general in the Japanese army and is difficult to deal with."
Sitting in his command post, behind a table covered with a green blanket, Feng Shengfa, listening to his subordinates' report, held a cigarette in his fingers and turned it upside down between his fingers.
Frowning, he searched his mind for information about the Japanese Sixth Division.
The 6th Division (Kumamoto) and the 2nd Division (Sendai), side by side, are known as the two most powerful and combat-effective troops in the Japanese army. Whether it was the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 or the Russo-Japanese War, the 6th Division was always the vanguard.
.
As a soldier, he instinctively felt that the Japanese Sixth Division was difficult to deal with, and he made psychological preparations for heavy casualties.
"Over there, at the paratrooper school, do you have any statistics on the results of the victory over the Japanese vanguard?"
The staff officer who came to report the news was stunned for a moment before answering,
"No, I guess reported it directly to Tang Seng... No, it went to the commander of the Tang Department. According to the observers in front of me, the Japanese forwards have at least one cavalry squadron and infantry squadron, probably..."
A cavalry squadron, even if it is not replenished in successive battles, still has one or two hundred men, plus infantry...
After a moment of calculation, Feng Shengfa's heart skipped a beat, and he estimated that the battle in the early morning also resulted in three to four hundred Japanese casualties, and the Parachute School...
A total of one machine gun and three strange cannons were dispatched, and then...then there was a group of people carrying poles to collect the loot.
There were ten casualties, eight which is a huge number.
In fact, one person was injured while cleaning the battlefield at the paratrooper school, and he sprained his foot. As for the Japanese, it was not that they did not want to resist, but the silent snipers killed everyone who had such thoughts.
"That Japanese army..."
"As of now, it has not appeared. It is estimated that it will appear on the battlefield later."
He nodded and waved to the staff officer to leave. He continued to lean on the chair and continued to "capture" the cigarette in his hand. He had already dug the trench and was not ready to take the initiative.
"Today's battle was won by attack, and it was because the little devils fought too smoothly in the front that they suffered such a big loss. However, the main force of the Sixth Division arrived. You must know that the Japanese standing A-level divisions are much better than the German ones.
The infantry divisions are much larger."
At the moment, the strength of the German infantry division is about 18,000. This is why Mao Xiong was often unable to defeat the German infantry division during the Patriotic War, because Mao Xiong's infantry division only numbered 12,300.
However, the Japanese Class A division, also known as the horse-drawing division, has 2 brigades (each brigade has two infantry regiments), one regiment each of engineering, cavalry, artillery, and artillery, for a total of eight regiments.
There are a total of 28,200 non-combatants at the headquarters of the previous division and the two brigades and regiments.
Even with the losses on the Songhu battlefield, the strength of the Japanese Sixth Division cannot be underestimated.
Of course, there is no need to worry about reconnaissance for a paratrooper school with a guerrilla background like Lu Feizhang. Especially Lu Feizhang, who travels throughout the Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou area, is already familiar with reconnaissance.
Lu Feizhang, who was lying in the grass, used a telescope covered with a window screen to look at the marching brigade of the Japanese Sixth Division in the distance.
Japanese soldiers lined up, long rifles slanted on their shoulders. I have to admit that the troops of the Japanese standing divisions are elite. It can be seen from the march that although they have walked a long way, the marching column is not at all
chaos.
For such an elite Japanese army, Principal Zhang even called them rubbish when it comes to marching...
While observing the advancing troops of the Sixth Division, Lu Feizhang, who had already sent the information back to Niushou Mountain, was thinking wildly.
"Batalion Commander, Battalion Commander, this water is so delicious, sweet and salty..."
His eyes never left the telescope, and he glanced at the nearby area from behind the telescope. Although he was very sure that other people in the reconnaissance team would protect his safety, the rules were the rules, so he made a sound with only breath in his mouth,
"What did you call me?"
"Captain, Captain, I said..."
"Did I let you drink it? You were not allowed to eat solid food, and you were not allowed to talk..."
The longer he followed Zhang Sixing, the more Lu Feizhang admired him.
It's like latent reconnaissance. To put it simply, it means lying down and observing the moving enemy troops. But the team he leads includes a machine gun team and a sniper team. I heard that there will be some precision marksman rifles in the future, but now he is using one with four
The 38th type of magnification lens.
As for why Type 38 is used, it is said that paratroopers are naturally surrounded troops, so using enemy bullets can effectively replenish ammunition.
"Be careful, there are ghosts coming towards you."
This was the report of the snipers who were more than 100 meters behind the reconnaissance team. Their eight-fold scope could easily see clearly the Japanese brigade that Lu Feizhou and others were passing more than 300 meters away.
"Unlucky, be careful, the knife... there is no need to attack."
These messages were not conveyed in words, but in front of the approaching Japanese soldiers. However, the Japanese scouts did not understand because they heard a series of common bird calls.
Although he had only received more than ten days of training, Lu Feizhou could already imitate the sounds of common birds very vividly.
This is part of their basic training, which means that when Zhang Sixing's paratrooper school officially opens in the future, even ordinary infantrymen who have only trained for three months will use the calls of several common birds to convey messages.
Probably due to the lessons learned from the attack on the forward, the scout team (squad) moved forward very cautiously, even in the wild.
The three Japanese soldiers passed through the open area quickly at a certain angle. When there was no danger, the rest of the detachment spread out and passed in column.
The sound of Japanese soldiers passing by came from the nearby grassland. Lu Feizhang lay motionless in the grass, hoping in his heart that his brothers would obey the order.
It must be said that these soldiers who have been engaged in guerrilla warfare for many years have very good psychological quality. They all crouched in their positions and remained motionless.
"God bless you, this devil is walking so close to us. It's best not to step on anyone."
Lu Feizhang was confident that his disguise would not be easily seen even if he got close, but being stepped on by some Japanese was an uncontrollable factor.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, Lu Feizhang's inner nervousness reached its highest level. Although he kept his body motionless, he slowly pulled out the BT Tiger Dagger from his semi-rigid armor.
This is different from the BT Tiger Knife used in charging. This dagger can be mounted on a gun as a bayonet or held in the hand as a dagger. The BT Tiger Combat Knife is specially designed for hand-to-hand combat when wearing ostrich boots.
.
Lu Feizhang's men belong to the reconnaissance battalion and have different equipment from ordinary infantry battalions.
In his mind, their reconnaissance battalion will be the strongest unit in the paratrooper school in the future.
"Boom"
The heavy leather shoes stepped on the nearby grass, making a heavy sound.
Fortunately for Lu Feizhang, the Japs' top soldiers in front of him did not notice them. But what worried him was that the Japs' scout team, in groups of three, bent over and ran over quickly.
