"Ahem! Battalion Commander Zhao, I'll leave it to you. Oh, and also, the regimental commander said that these brothers are not restricted in your position and have the right to move freely."
"Unrestricted, does that mean you are not under my command and can move freely?"
Seeing that Battalion Commander Zhao was still stunned and stopped talking, the regimental staff officer nodded to the leading lieutenant, turned around and left.
This staff officer is an officer who has been working in the headquarters for a long time. Naturally, he does not have the vision of a battlefield veteran like Battalion Commander Zhao, and he has already had different views on the regiment's instructions.
"With just these few people and a few guns, can we defeat the enemy's iron lump that cannot be blown apart or penetrated? Are you kidding me?"
At this time, Battalion Commander Zhao had come to his senses. He quickly extended his hand to the young lieutenant officer who was so young that he doubted his life and said warmly: "Welcome, what do you call me brothers? If you need our 3rd Battalion's help, just feel free to do so."
He told us that as long as we can destroy the Japanese tanks, we can do anything."
Now Battalion Commander Zhao began to feel a little hopeful.
The young lieutenant quickly stood at attention and saluted, then showed a shy smile, held Battalion Commander Zhao's hand and said: "Captain Zhao, you are welcome, my name is Zi Zi, Battalion Commander Zhao can just call me Xiaoye."
This leaf is naturally Zhang Xiaoping.
It turns out that since the Japanese army began to attack, the mercenary regiments have followed the instructions of the headquarters and have not gone to the front line to participate in the battle. But today the Japanese army has attacked Jinjiazhai, which is only 10 kilometers away from the temple headquarters, and Zhou Wen knows that they have passed Jinjiazhai.
After that, the terrain will be relatively flat and open. Once the Japanese tanks are allowed to attack in formation, the 88th Division's defense line will be difficult to defend.
Therefore, Zhou Wen decided to send a powerful anti-tank force to join the war. He must make use of the water network in front of Jinjiazhai. The Japanese tanks could only rely on the strong terrain of temporary roads to give the Japanese armored forces a powerful blow. At least the Japanese army would not dare to attack them.
The armored troops, which are usually precious, are completely released for use.
After obtaining the consent of Chief Zhang, Zhou Wen not only dispatched the only two anti-tank teams, but also moved the mountain artillery battery to a high ground less than 3 kilometers away from Jin's residence to hide and standby.
At this time, the advantages of Schneider's S.E.L infantry gun were demonstrated. Twelve soldiers carried the parts of the infantry gun on their backs, hiding themselves very conveniently and avoiding the detection and bombing of Japanese aircraft. When the order was received, 5 minutes
It can be assembled and ready for bombardment in just 2 minutes. After the bombardment is completed, it can be dismantled in less than 2 minutes, and then dispersed and hidden again, and it can completely become an artillery guerrilla.
After Zhang Xiaoping and Battalion Commander Zhao exchanged pleasantries, they took the time to observe the terrain of the battlefield.
At this time, Battalion Commander Zhao was shocked again. He saw that each of the four officers took out a telescope and looked forward. Battalion Commander Zhao knew at a glance that it was a German Zeiss 6x telescope. It was the most elite 88th Division at the moment.
I have only been equipped to the level of regimental commander. My old telescope is a Soviet product that has been discarded by the regimental commander. It does not even have a basic ranging scale, but even this kind of old telescope cannot be guaranteed to be available to every battalion commander.
A few of your second lieutenant-level officers only have one Zeiss telescope that looks brand new? What kind of army is this Shanxi Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army of the Central Party Headquarters? It’s so damn rich.
After some discussions with Ti Jing, Zhang Xiaoping turned to point to an abandoned position about 500 meters ahead to the right that was blown to pieces by artillery and said: "Battle Commander Zhao, we are going to rely on that abandoned position.
We will establish anti-tank sniper points one by one. After the battle begins, we will continue to move positions and finally retreat to the main position. Please remind the brothers below not to treat us as devils."
"I will convey the order to every platoon immediately, Lieutenant Ye, please rest assured." Battalion Commander Zhao assured.
After Zhang Xiaoping thanked him, he took Tian Boguang, Body Clean, and Tieniu along the trench.
After Battalion Commander Zhao asked the correspondent to convey the order, he kept watching the actions of Zhang Xiaoping and the four of them through binoculars.
I saw four people crawling out from the trench in front. I don’t know when everyone put on a yellow and green cloak. If I didn’t know their location, I wouldn’t be able to tell that they were crawling at first glance. I thought about this disguise.
It's really clever, I can learn from it myself in the future.
Not long after, they saw four people crawling to the edge of the abandoned position, turning over and entering the trench, disappearing from sight.
Battalion Commander Zhao now began to worry again. He wondered whether the four brothers could destroy the enemy tanks, and he was also worried about whether they could return safely.
You must know that being able to go deep into the middle of the enemy's and our positions alone is not very obvious, but this kind of courage is not possessed by ordinary people.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoping had already moved forward to less than 500 meters away from the enemy's offensive position. The gradually dissipating morning fog allowed him to see the situation ahead clearly. Without a telescope, he could observe that the Japanese engineers were perfecting the last section of the route across the wet and soft ground.
On the road, the roar of an engine could be heard from further away. He knew that the Japanese tanks were coming.
At this time, the other three people were waiting for his orders in the abandoned trench.
While Zhang Xiaoping was observing the enemy, in another position of the National Army, there was also a person observing the movements of the Japanese army with an artillery scope on a hidden high ground. This person was Zhu Jinhui, the commander of the mountain artillery company.
Zhou Wen’s plan was to let the mountain artillery battery take the lead in firing. Of course, only grenades could be used to fire from a few kilometers away. Although grenades could not directly destroy enemy tanks, they could create chaos in the enemy tank formation and kill the Japanese troops around the tanks.
At this time, it was time for the anti-tank guns to take action. At the same time, the Shanpao Company could also cover Zhang Xiaoping's retreat.
You must know that it is very dangerous to fight a tank about 500 meters away from the enemy. If they are discovered and attacked by Japanese infantry, Zhang Xiaoping and the four of them, no matter how special forces they are, will not be able to withstand the attack of hundreds or thousands of Japanese troops.
So the first thing Zhang Xiaoping did was to report his position to Zhu Jinhui using the intercom. Zhu Jinhui used the artillery mirror to calculate the position of the mountain artillery battery to bombard the Japanese highway and cover Zhang Xiaoping's retreat, and reported the shooting distance to Zhu Yuan a few kilometers away.
Artillery positions outside.
This series of artillery equipment work seems simple but is actually very technical. First of all, artillery observers must have a high technical level and experience. The distance measurement of artillery targets must be accurate. They must also accurately measure the various parameters of one's own artillery positions and artillery targets.
parameter.
At the same time, it also tests the artillery's control skills and proficiency. Think about it, for an artillery strike a few kilometers away, a small error will cause the impact point of the artillery shell to differ by hundreds of meters, so test firing is generally required to adjust the impact point of the artillery shell.
Point, this requires the quality of the gunner, the control speed must be fast, the adjustment must be precise, and the first wave of artillery salvo must be ensured to have a miraculous effect.
