In the afternoon of that day, Monk and Duan Peng took the commando team and the guard company, a total of 120 soldiers, to live in a house vacated by Commander Lu.
The houses made of wood and stone structures looked particularly dilapidated, and many of the houses even had charred black stains from the fire. Some houses seemed to have been shelled, and even had a corner collapsed.
"There was a fight here?"
The monk asked as he looked at the scene in front of him.
Liu Hai, the logistics director of the 28th Regiment who was responsible for guiding the monk Duan Peng and his entourage and helping them settle in, replied:
"Well, the Japanese came with more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles at once, and they blew up a lot here. If they didn't find our main force, they set fire to our village, set it on fire, and bombed it with artillery shells. There were many people in the surrounding villages around us. The houses were all blown down.
At present, these houses are relatively well preserved by luck, so the regiment leader asked us to clean them up for you, Captain Wei, to live in. "
"Oh, by the way, Captain Wei, there are many tunnels connected to the Tsuchiya, which are used to guard against sneak attacks by the Japanese army. I will take you to have a look later. If any unexpected situation occurs later, our soldiers can also be the first to Make the transfer."
Before leaving, Kong Jie told the monk that after arriving in Jizhong, he would take a look at the development of tunnel warfare in Jizhong.
The monk then asked: "It seems that our authentic tactics in Jizhong have been promoted a lot?"
Liu Hai replied: "Yes, the authentic tactics sent by Commander Kong are really very applicable."
"Now we have dug a large number of underground passages in various bases in central Hebei. We can even transfer all the main forces through the tunnels before the Japanese army sweeps over."
"That's why even if the Japanese use tanks and armor, they can only destroy the buildings and houses we left on the surface, and they can't besiege our main force at all."
The monk nodded and asked no more questions.
Soldiers from the assault company and guard company moved equipment and moved in.
Several platoon leaders from the guard company were explaining to the soldiers.
"Prepare our mosquito nets. I heard that the mosquitoes here in Jizhong are so big that they can lift up a big bag with one bite. Open the mosquito nets at night and have a good sleep!"
"The kettles have been cleaned. I'll ask the comrades of the 28th Regiment to borrow some kettles later. It's still the same old rule. We only drink hot water, and drink cold drinks for free."
"Oh, by the way, wash all the lunch boxes and disinfect them. The food in Jizhong may not be as good as in our group. Everyone should adapt to it. If you can't get some ingredients, you can just use the lunch boxes to cook and eat... …
…”
Several platoon leaders explained everything in detail.
Bangs: "..."
The monk explained: "Mr. Liu, I'm really sorry. We soldiers have been spoiled by the good conditions in the regiment. Wait a minute while I criticize them."
With that said, the monk strode over and cursed at the platoon leaders:
"What are you making all the fuss about? Let the comrades in Hebei Province watch the jokes again."
"Using mosquito nets to prevent mosquitoes is to ensure adequate rest. Boiling water before drinking is to ensure that we do not get sick. As for nutritious meals, it is to ensure that we can obtain sufficient physical fitness to reach the peak fighting state."
"These are all old rules. What is there to explain? If it doesn't work, let's go to Commander Lu. Commander Lu has let us go. If we have any difficulties, we can just go to him."
"In a word, when we come to Jizhong this time, we have nothing to say about fighting. We can just ask Commander Lu for help with our daily life."
"Yes -" several platoon leaders responded with a smile.
Bangs: "..."
He was so depressed that he just wanted to scold his mother. He had never seen such a pampered team. I heard that they were still the elite troops of the first detachment, the guard company and the commando team!
This is a tent, a kettle, and a lunch box.
Are these comrades from the Independent Regiment here to reinforce our Jizhong, or are they here for vacation?
After arranging for the monk, Duan Peng and his party, Liu Hai immediately returned to the regiment headquarters and reported the matter to Commander Lu.
His words were full of grievances: "Captain, these comrades in the Independent Regiment are living a very comfortable life. If they do this, there are more than a hundred of them, and I am afraid they will eat up our logistics." !”
Lu Shunmin, commander of the third battalion, said: "Captain, these are the living habits of monks and others when they were in the first detachment. It is also a fact that the living standard of the first detachment is much higher than ours."
Captain Lu gritted his teeth and cursed at Liu Hai: "You are the one who has a lot of troubles. The tanks are here to help us fight the Japanese. With your head pinned to the waistband, let's make the comrades of the Independent Regiment eat better." Sleep well, what’s the point?”
"No matter what happens in the future, the resources in the regiment will be tilted towards the comrades of the independent regiment. Whatever they need, want to eat, or need, your logistics department will provide them all."
"Leader——"
"Okay, let's carry out the order!"
"Oh... yes!" Liu Hai reluctantly accepted the order and left.
Looking at Liu Hai's depressed back, Lu Shunming asked with a smile: "Captain, aren't you afraid of losing money?"
Captain Lu said: "We can't control that much. Monk, Duan Peng and his party, we will take care of the food and supplies for him. As long as they can really help us deal with the Japanese tanks."
The next morning, the monk's anti-tank teaching course began.
Commander Lu arranged for more than 40 company and platoon-level cadres to attend the class in person.
As soon as the class started, the teacher, the monk, didn't talk nonsense. The first words he spoke directly captured the minds of the cadres of the 28th Regiment:
"If our Eighth Route Army troops want to carry out anti-tank operations, the first step is to understand the Japanese tanks and armor. What they are, what their specific composition is, and where the weak points of the armor are. If we don't understand these, we can't know ourselves and the enemy. , how can we win every battle?"
"So our first lesson today is to understand the types of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, as well as the firepower, mobility, strength of protective armor, and blind spots of tanks corresponding to different types."
Then, the monk borrowed blackboards and chalk to introduce the various types of tanks and armored vehicles commonly used by the Japanese army to the cadres of the 28th Regiment in detail.
And noted:
"Once you understand the weak points, it will be much easier to fight tanks."
"What are the easiest parts of a Japanese tank to be damaged? For example, the moving parts of the tracks, driving wheels, road wheels, inducers, etc. These parts are exposed and can be easily blown up."
"In addition, the armor on the sides, bottom and rear of the tank body is relatively thin, making it easier to penetrate."
"And here, the fatal position of the tank, where the engine is located, will directly land the shells on the heat dissipation window and thin armor above. Once the Japs' power device is destroyed, the entire tank will lose its mobility and can only be reduced to a pile of Scrap metal waiting to die."
"We can also arrange sharpshooters to specifically attack the Japanese's observation and aiming instruments, such as periscopes, sights, etc., to turn the Japanese's tanks into blind tanks."
Sun Chuanzhong, the second battalion commander of the 28th Regiment, listened with great concentration and nodded frequently to express his approval of the monk's explanation.
"Monk, the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles are not slow. Moving tanks are not easy to fight. What should we do?"
The monk smiled and said: "Comrades, the second battalion commander asked a good question. When we learn how to fight tanks and go to the battlefield, the lives of the soldiers are at stake. We must not pretend to understand.
If there is anything you don’t understand, everyone should learn from the Second Battalion Commander and raise it as soon as possible. "
"As for the second battalion commander's question, it's actually very simple."
"Once the Japanese tank is at full speed, it is indeed not slow, but there are also times when it is slower and easier to hit."
"For example, when a Japanese tank goes up or down slopes, turns, or passes through obstacles, it will definitely slow down and stop, or simply stop."
"This is the best time for us to fight tanks. Therefore, as long as we can make full use of the terrain, build and set up obstacles in advance, prevent the Japanese tanks from moving, slow them down, or even stop them directly."
"Swallowing the Starry Sky: Sign in to Become a God"
"At this time, we can use a series of means to blast, hit, and bomb until the Japanese tanks are destroyed."
The course lasted for more than an hour, and the cadres of the 28th Regiment were still immersed in the wonderful explanation of anti-tank combat and could not recover.
Until the monk’s voice sounded:
"Comrades, the leader of my family often says that learning something is like eating. You have to eat in moderation every time. Eating too much will not be good until you are full. So that's the end of our course today."
"After we go down, everyone should prepare their questions in advance for this class. I will focus on answering them in the next class."
"applaud!"
Captain Lu shouted and took the lead in applauding. The next moment, the applause from the entire classroom sounded like thunder.
On the way back to the station, the monk couldn't help but say a few words to Duan Peng:
"Well, Duan Peng, my anti-tank teaching course was pretty good, right?"
Duan Peng glanced at the monk and ignored him, but he was also very excited in his heart!
The two of them came to the 28th Regiment's station together. Now the monk is already making a splash with one lesson, but Duan Peng hasn't seen much movement yet!
That night, Duan Peng, who couldn't sit still, directly summoned the commando team members, and then said earnestly:
"Comrades, our coming to reinforce Jizhong this time represents the glory of our independent commando team!"
"It's not a big deal to use someone else's 28-pound meal every day and eat someone else's 28-legged meal every day."
"Let's put it all together, spend some time, select targets in advance, and prepare to carry out several armed operations to seize cash flow and material flow in enemy-occupied areas."
"First, rob the banks of the Japanese and puppet soldiers nearby. This can be regarded as the living expenses we pay to the 28th Regiment."
"yes--"
The team members responded in unison, their faces full of excitement, and everyone was already itching.
28th Regiment Headquarters.
Captain Lu patted the table and said happily: "Lao Kong really sent us talented people this time."
"I really didn't expect that. I had always heard that this boy, Monk, was famous for his martial arts skills. I didn't expect that this boy could have such a thorough grasp of the theoretical knowledge of tank fighting."
"I asked the Logistics Department to focus on taking care of the comrades of the Independent Regiment, and it seems that I made the right decision."
Once upon a time, the young and rebellious Monk Wei had grown to the point where even Captain Lu praised him...
