"Yes, company commander."
Hearing what Zhang Tianhai said, Xu Sangou was obviously very happy, at least he seemed to be smiling.
Zhang Tianhai supported the German-made M35 steel helmet on his head and slowly closed his eyes. But when he closed his eyes, his eyes were filled with familiar faces whose heads had been shot through by rifle bullets.
Pain, not ordinary pain.
A clear teardrop flowed from the corner of his eye, then crossed his handsome face that was darkened by gunpowder smoke, and finally dropped on his dirty military uniform.
Yes, they are the most elite German armorers in China, and they are the leaders of the Chinese army in terms of combat effectiveness.
But after all, they are humans, not gods. They are also flesh and blood. If they are hit by bullets, they will be injured and sacrificed. From early morning to now, in just six hours, more than fifty brothers have died, and The fate of more than 20 seriously injured brothers was uncertain. How could Zhang Tianhai, who had always valued emotions, not feel sad?
In his previous life, Zhang Tianhai was indeed the leader of the Marine Brigade, a man who could be called the "God of War" in the Marine Brigade, but so what? Can a single person defeat the Japanese aircraft and artillery? Can he rescue his fallen comrades? Can the soldiers who are ready to go to the battlefield return unscathed?
No, he can't do anything, he is just one person, he can't fight against the whole world.
If Zhang Tianhai was left alone to play jungle warfare with these Japanese soldiers, he might still be able to survive, but now he is the company commander! He wants to command this battle, and he wants to lead the entire company of soldiers to break through the Japanese defense line!
You know, he is facing the Japanese Marine Corps, the most powerful combat force in East Asia in this era!
When he was the squadron leader of the reconnaissance brigade in his previous life, Zhang Tianhai thought about it countless times, what would happen if he came to the period of the Anti-Japanese War? Will he lead his troops to victory?
However, when the "dream" came true, the reality was so cruel - the enemies he faced were definitely the aces of the Japanese army. They shot extremely accurately, hiding on the buildings and shooting from high above. Li Captain Haocheng died in the hands of these ruthless Japanese.
Since its birth, the Marine Corps has been required to be a first-class force in terms of individual combat effectiveness and overall combat effectiveness, because their mission is to land on the enemy's heavily guarded coastline.
Precisely because of its mission, whether in modern times or in the past, the Marine Corps is a first-class elite, just like the Marine Brigade of the People's Liberation Army in the 21st century. Which one is not a quick reaction force?
In this era, Japan had limited steel resources, especially copper mines, which were even more scarce. Therefore, this required the Japanese soldiers to shoot accurately without wasting bullets.
Precisely because this requirement was implemented by the Japanese army from top to bottom, the quality of the Japanese soldiers at this time was the highest.
It is said that the seventeen standing divisions of the Japanese Army are very powerful in combat effectiveness, but people often overlook that there is another unit in the Japanese army that is more powerful in combat effectiveness than the standing divisions, and that is the Japanese Marine Corps.
Why is the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Marine Corps stronger than that of the Japanese Army Standing Division? This has to start with Japan’s “Sea and Land Struggle”.
As we all know, Japan is surrounded by sea and is a typical maritime country. Precisely because Japan is a sea power country, it means that it relies more on the navy than the army. The existence of the army is necessary, but the scale does not need to be too large; however, there is another option that is not equal, and that is to raise The navy requires a lot of money, and we need to vigorously develop the size of the navy!
Look, for example, how much money and resources does a warship cost from completion to launch?
As for the army, it is relatively simple to raise, as long as it has guns, cannons and food.
It can be said that the cost of building a warship can form three standing divisions, and it also includes food expenses for a whole year. Of course, this is only the construction cost, and does not include subsequent maintenance, which is an astronomical sum.
This is where the difference lies.
Japan is a country with extremely poor resources, and most of its limited domestic resources are tilted toward the navy. This has resulted in a phenomenon where the navy is rich but the army is poor.
In Japan, the combat effectiveness of the army's standing divisions, which are relatively short of funds, is already extremely strong, not to mention the navy that exists like an uncle.
Well, if you have money, you are an uncle.
A good shooter feeds bullets, not just aiming at the target.
As the only marine force of the Japanese Navy, Yamamoto Isoroku will naturally not be stingy with such a small amount of money. Therefore, the Japanese Marine Corps is the only one among the Japanese marine forces in terms of equipment and training. .
Zhang Tianhai was an officer of the Marine Corps in his previous life, so he understood these principles better than ordinary people - the enemy he faced at this time was the Japanese army's ace unit!
For example, Japan's "Sea and Land Struggle" during World War I and World War II was already discussed by professors in military school classes in the 21st century, and Zhang Tianhai remembered it clearly.
But so what? Don't you have to rush with all your life?
Scene after scene flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. Zhang Tianhai's mood never calmed down, because there was a kind of pain that was heart-wrenching.
Holding this German-made 1924 Mauser rifle that he picked up from an unknown comrade who died, Zhang Tianhai felt some peace in his heart, because this rifle could accompany him to kill the enemy and eliminate the bandits!
Fifteen minutes may not be long or short, but for soldiers fighting on the front line, it is undoubtedly very short.
Time flies by.
Before the fifteen-minute time limit reached, Zhang Tianhai asked everyone to get up and prepare for battle.
On the streets, rain doused burning fireworks. At this time, the rain stopped, leaving only pools of blood on the ground under the rising sun, including those of Chinese soldiers and Japanese soldiers.
At this time, the streets were quiet, without the usual bustling noise.
Obviously, the Japs also took advantage of this rare opportunity to rest.
In this quiet moment, the roar of a diesel engine suddenly came from the distance.
Zhang Tianhai's face changed slightly, and he immediately shouted: "Quick, put the grenades into a bunch, the Japanese tanks are coming! Remember! Throw the cluster grenades into the bottom of the tank when you have the chance!"
As a modern person, how could Zhang Tianhai not know the power of the tank, known as the "King of Land Warfare"? Although the Japanese tanks at this time were not equipped with artillery but machine guns, with the weapons currently equipped by the national army, There are really not many people who can deal with such thin-skinned tanks. After all, there are no such artifacts as rocket launchers in this era!
In this case, cluster grenades and combat anti-tank guns are undoubtedly good weapons for restraining tanks. However, the combat anti-tank guns are still firing on Gonghe Road. The officers and soldiers of Battalion Commander Gu’s third battalion are using them. Even if they go to pull them at this time, It's too late to come here.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers of their first battalion could only rely on cluster grenades.
