Of course, the army is not a hodgepodge that can be called an army. Even a simple organization of people without fixed organizational relationships cannot be called an army.
As the motorcycles went out and brought back a large number of soldiers, it seemed that the soldiers of these tank companies were doing well. When these soldiers came, they all brought their own weapons and a large amount of ammunition.
Jinling City can store enough grain and ammunition to last three months, so there is always no shortage of ammunition.
At this time, the two regiment commanders beside Zhang Sixing turned into a bunch of battalion commanders.
"You go down and find the five company commanders, then ask the company commander to find the five platoon commanders, and ask the platoon leader to find the squad leader. Finally, find scattered soldiers to supplement the full complement of personnel. Remember that you are in the third regiment, and then which battalion commander will find all the officers first?
Even for Battalion A of the Third Regiment, we have less than four hours left."
A group of battalion commanders took the order and left. It should be known that the Guo Army had forty-seven middle- and high-level officers killed in the battle in Jinling City alone. As for the lower-level officers, then...
"The unorganized stations below the row are on the left side of the street, and the organized stations above the row are on the left..."
As the loudspeakers on the top of the city kept shouting, the skirmishers who kept coming slowly dispersed. This also allowed the battalion-level officers who had just ran down from the top of the city to quickly organize temporary teams.
Of course, such a unit cannot fight a tough battle, but as Zhang Sixing expected, the battalion commanders who ran down from the city gave priority to units with a certain organization.
As temporary troops appeared one after another, the originally chaotic situation gradually became more orderly.
However, Zhang Sixing was a little disappointed that the military police near Qingliangmen did not arrive, nor did the people who taught the troops.
He raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was already blackjack at night, and Zhang Sixing decided not to wait. Although it was said that the entire army would move at twelve o'clock, he had to consider dealing with the enemy's 18th Division.
After all, from the time he appeared here at 18 o'clock and announced his location with a loudspeaker, the enemy's 18th Division had already been building fortifications. If they were allowed to continue building fortifications, the subsequent battle situation would be very unfavorable.
He asked people to run and call for the commander of the five battalions in front of the defense.
"You begin to test and attack the enemy's 18th Division in front. One battalion opens a skirmish line. When encountering enemy counterattacks, they lie down without attacking. The enemy's front is handed over to the tanks and vehicle-mounted artillery in the rear."
"Sir, there are so many people in our group..."
Regarding such an unconfident answer, Zhang Sixing patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't be so unsure. The Japanese call me the Demon King of the Four Elements. Don't worry, I'm right."
The regiment leader thought about it and felt that he still didn't have the guts to disobey the "Four Elements Demon King"'s order. After all, this guy was a major general who would kill at his will. So in his eyes, he, the regiment leader, might not even be as good as shit.
Thinking about it again, it's just a trial attack by one battalion, so there shouldn't be any big problems. It's amazing that five battalions are engaged in a round-the-clock battle.
At this moment, the sound of engines came from the sky, and the regiment leader who was descending from the city raised his head in surprise. He wondered in his mind whether the "Kongming Lantern" above the head of Zhonghua Gate attracted the Japanese fighter planes to bomb.
In fact, in the current war, the Japanese are not very good at night bombing. In addition, only the subordinates of the "Four Elements Demon King" can do the "Kongming Lantern" hanging self-inflating gas lantern.
It is difficult for fighter planes to deal with the troops of the "Four Elements Demon King" during the day, let alone at night.
However, the delta wing is not afraid of darkness. In other words, Zhang Sixing has long been accustomed to night air operations among the German paratroopers. He has also summarized the conditions required for night air operations in this era.
As the sound of engines passed by in the air, soon the lights came on above the battlefield.
The long string of lights looked so bright in the sky that the entire Japanese defense line looked like a stripped-off girl. Some shy Japanese riflemen raised their rifles and fired into the air.
However, their shooting had no effect on the erratic lights in the sky. Just as the soldiers were still pulling the bolts of their rifles, the officers' angry roars suddenly came,
"You idiots, you idiots, those lights are beyond the range of a rifle, there's no way you can hit them."
Then four anti-aircraft guns belonging to the artillery squadron of the 18th Division opened fire in the air.
The cannonballs roared, hurriedly piercing the air and appearing in the sky with almost no obstruction. But for those lights, the light was too small, and the cannonballs were too big.
Especially those lights that are too unstable in the airflow, and even when the cannonball with a delay fuse explodes, it simply misses the position. Of course, cannonballs can always be effective as long as they are dense enough.
However, a powered delta wing with a load capacity of 300 kilograms can easily carry a lot of these things.
They hang under the small delta wing. You only need to unfold the kite and then release the kite string from the delta wing, and another string of gas lights will appear in the sky.
It's that simple. People flying delta wings can determine themselves and their direction just by looking at the lights hanging on the anti-aircraft kites appearing in Guanyin Mountain in the distance.
Just as the infantry of the 18th Division opened fire and the anti-aircraft guns opened fire, they also discovered an approaching battalion of soldiers from the Fruit Army.
Without any warning, a splendid but deathly network of tracer eggs formed between the two warring parties.
"ah……"
To the slight embarrassment of the infantry battalion commander who conducted the probing attack, one and two of his soldiers got up and ran back.
The cohesion of a unit that cannot be divided into separate soldiers is extremely low. Soldiers who have no confidence at all when encountering any obstacles will immediately feel panic.
The battalion commander and officers lying underground shouted at the top of their lungs,
"Don't mess around, don't run, don't get up and shoot on the spot, those who run away will be punished on the spot..."
No matter how they shouted, more soldiers stood up and threw away their weapons and ran away.
At this moment, the armored vehicle following the infantry battalion, it should not be said that the armored battalion opened fire.
In front were ten Panzer 1 tanks acting as shields, and behind them were more than thirty trucks equipped with heavy machine guns, mortars or gasoline barrel cannons.
The firing of more than forty heavy machine guns immediately put strong pressure on the Japanese 18th Division. In addition, there were even several 82mm mortars, which fired chaotic shells from the trucks.
.
In addition, those soldiers who were not allowed to leave the car more than ten meters also showed their weapons.
Since he was only protecting tanks and cars, Zhang Sixing thought that box cannons would also work.
However, the commander of the armored company believed that in this case, machine guns were more reliable. Therefore, the people following the tank simply became five two-man machine gun teams.
This is another fifty Czech guns, launching intensive bursts of fire at the Japanese who are fighting back.
However, before launching fire on the enemy, these people first killed those who dared to escape from the battle.
As the firepower of the attack became frightening, no matter how the Japanese reacted, cohesion and morale were slowly formed among these troops composed of skirmishers.
