Those who set out for the night attack included Hu Yang's guard company and half of Zhang Changlin's sniper scouts. What was special was that they also brought people from two companies and miscellaneous barracks.
These people don't look like soldiers, and they are far less powerful than the combat soldiers who have changed their equipment.
They only wore the most basic military uniforms and new-style steel helmets. They did not have combat vests but each of them carried a carrying pole.
Some carried a pair of gasoline barrel cannons, and some carried two baskets of clay grenades.
As for the soldiers of the two reinforced battalions, their task was to dig a large number of cat-ear hole-style anti-gun holes in the trenches overnight, and to lay out enough traps, bullet mines and other things in front of the positions.
These things were all made in the Niushou Mountain Tunnel Factory, and now we just need to complete the layout.
"The people from the mixed soldier camp followed the reconnaissance team for 500 meters, and then moved forward when they saw the green signal. The first platoon was responsible for protecting the mixed soldier camp, and no shots were allowed without orders..."
Zhang Sixing usually likes to talk tactics with his commanders from time to time and how to be an officer. This is of course not to show off, but the stronger his subordinates are on the battlefield, the more likely they are to survive in dangerous battles.
"This kid has made great progress. When I met him in the mixed barracks, he was still a squad leader. Now he can lead a security company in action. However, the training he received is still insufficient, and his battlefield experience is also lacking."
Standing next to Zhang Sixing, Hansen, who had always been Zhang Sixing's follower, was holding a cigarette. Hearing that this guy felt so good about himself, Zhang Sixing couldn't help but pour cold water on him.
"What about you, you have been following me for so long, how many people can you take with you?"
"It depends on what you want me to do. Play with tanks, cavalry, infantry, or fly in the sky with people."
Listening to his lazy look, Zhang Sixing couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and thought:
This guy is so smart. When he gets to the paratrooper school, he will do whatever it takes to get rid of his laziness.
To be honest, Zhang Sixing has always been unsure whether he should let the instructors from the paratrooper school train the paratroopers and then become officers leading troops. Those guys are not weak in combat ability, but they are a few years older.
Although many of them were non-commissioned officers or lower-level officers in the past, it is an army composed of Chinese people after all. How about inserting a bunch of Germans into it? And if they leave the parachute school, they are not allowed to go back to Germany and recruit another group of people.
I'm afraid that World War II has officially started by then. If I want to get some soldiers back from Germany, I'm afraid I can only get some with missing arms and legs. It's better to let those guys learn other knowledge in Germany, which I may need in the future.
That was Zhang Sixing's series of schools in Germany, in addition to sniper, paratrooper and other training schools, the Honorary Military Skills School. In that school, soldiers will be trained in corresponding work skills according to their degree of disability.
While he was thinking about it, Hu Yang suddenly didn't know what to say and once again inadvertently mentioned the words "Miscellaneous Military Camp", which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the old smoker Li Youtian who led the team.
"I'm talking about Company Commander Hu. It's called the miscellaneous soldiers camp. We are now a supply camp, or a logistics camp. You must not ask for Hu."
"I'm sorry, Battalion Commander Li, I just called you Shunzui. I promise to change it in the future. Now as the person in charge of this operation, I issue the following orders. No talking is allowed during the march, no face armor is allowed to be taken off, and no one is allowed to smoke..."
After the order was announced, Hu Yang trotted to Zhang Sixing.
"Sir, all members of the reconnaissance operation have arrived. Please give instructions."
Zhang Sixing, who always disliked talking nonsense, nodded and said,
"Operation...Hu Yang, you take charge tonight."
"yes"
With some excitement, Hu Yang came to the front of the team and waved to indicate that the troops were advancing.
Fortunately, during the short period of high-intensity training in Jurong, the reconnaissance company was not familiar with others. Military sign language and other signals were so familiar that they could use them to chat silently on the battlefield.
Not long after leaving our position, we encountered a Japanese patrol team.
For the attacking troops, this was a very helpless situation. After all, they had just finished the battle and had just settled down, and then the soldiers started digging holes non-stop.
This is what infantry does, marching, digging holes, fighting, digging holes, resting, digging holes... For all infantry, digging holes on the battlefield is a part of their lives.
Under the cover of night, Hu Yang, who was leading the team, made a gesture to the correspondent who was carrying a walkie-talkie seized from the Japanese. The latter tapped his fingers rhythmically on the transmitter of the walkie-talkie.
It has to be said that several walkie-talkies seized from the Japanese played a great role in the Battle of Jinling. Although as far as Zhang Sixing is concerned, the effect of these equipment is not too bad compared to the kind produced by his radio factory.
Regardless of communication distance or other performance, the Japanese radio technology is quite backward in the world here. Radar was only thought of after the warship took a shell from the Eagle Navy in the fog.
Currently, there were two troops left in the Niushou Mountain tunnels, and Zhang Sixing took three. What he didn't expect was that his night attack would actually boost the morale of the people in the Niushou Mountain tunnels.
At this moment, the commander in the tunnel in the mountain was Lu Feizhou. When Xu Wenqian heard the sound of fingers tapping the microphone from the radio, she couldn't help but scream with joy, and her face even turned rosy with excitement.
"Sir, I received communications from other walkie-talkies on the predetermined channel. The commander is still fighting. Judging from the situation, it should be another night attack."
Hearing Xu Wenqian's happy words, Lu Feizhou also became happy. After all, after Zhang Si left, there was an undercurrent among the soldiers who stayed in the tunnel.
Some soldiers were worried that Zhang Sixing might die outside or never come back after leaving. So what will happen to those of them who stayed in the tunnel, especially when the foreign woman from the commander also left with him? This is even more heart-wrenching.
hairy.
There would be no such rumors among Lu Feizhou's men. After all, people in 18ga still trust the officers who have fought guerrillas with them for many years. However, this may not be the case for him in other troops, especially those from warlord troops, who are often worried that their superiors will leave them and run away.
.
"Hey, let me tell you some good news. The walkie-talkie just received the message from the commander that they are conducting a night attack. Did you hear that the commander is leading a night attack, so everyone should believe that the commander will not abandon us. He
Let us ambush here, there must be a bigger consideration."
Through the bamboo tubes connecting the holes, Lu Feizhou sent the sound far away. Everyone who heard the news felt a little relieved, especially those who came to the warlord's troops, who were hearing Xu Xuefan's voice at this moment.
"Hey, hey, listen carefully, Mr. Lu... The chief said that Principal Zhang is leading the troops to carry out a night attack. The chief also said that if there is any news, he will inform everyone at any time. Please believe that the chief left us in the tunnel for sure.
