"Teacher, my humble duty is to be a soldier of the party and the country. I go into battle to kill the enemy and protect my family and the country. This is the duty of my humble duty and should not be rewarded. Besides, if the 215th Regiment had not been attacking for a period of time, In addition, with the help of the artillery battalion, it will not be easy to capture Shajing Port." Zhang Tianhai's face was serious, without any hint of joking.

After hearing these words, Song Xilian nodded approvingly, patted Zhang Tianhai on the shoulder, and said to Hu Jiaji on the side: "De Cheng, you are still a good leader of troops. You see that this subordinate of yours is quite humble. of."

Hu Jiaji smiled and said: "Zhang Tianhai is not only from our 216th Regiment, but also from our 36th Division!"

"Okay, let's not flatter each other anymore." After saying that, Song Xilian straightened his face and turned to Zhang Tianhai and said: "Battle Commander Zhang, you are one of the few officers in our Thirty-sixth Division who can fight. Tell me about this." The two encounters with the enemy are both experience summaries for quick victory!"

"Yes." Zhang Tianhai responded, and then began his summary: "Master, I believe that the victory of these two battles is inseparable from the officers and soldiers working together and not fearing sacrifice. Our battalion has participated in the war since Since then, the officers and soldiers have regarded death as home and launched an attack on the Japanese army regardless of their own safety. Even though our troops suffered heavy losses, they also caused many casualties to the enemy. However, our army has fatal flaws in combat."

"Tell me what the flaw is. We are all soldiers. We are not as particular as many literati. Let's just say it straight." Song Xilian saw Zhang Tianhai's hesitant expression and immediately said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Master. I'll be honest with you." Zhang Tianhai said bluntly, "Our army lacks effective strikes when facing tanks. I believe that in addition to anti-tank artillery and cluster grenades, there should be more convenient and faster methods. Methods."

Song Xilian thought for a while and said, "Just tell me, if this method is effective, I will give you credit!"

"Yes. I believe that to deal with the thin-skinned small tanks of the Japanese army, a gasoline bottle is enough." Zhang Tianhai said sternly. For him, perhaps this gasoline-burning bottle, also known as the "Molotov Cocktail", would be the best choice. He didn't say it before. It was entirely because of his duties at the time and the fierce battle that he didn't think of it. You know, at this time, even taking a break is a luxury.

Regarding the Thirty-sixth Division, Zhang Tianhai's limited memory in his previous life could not remember exactly how long the battle lasted, but he knew that the Eighty-seventh Division and the Eighty-eighth Division fought from the beginning to the end of the battle.

Since the Eighty-seventh Division and the Eighty-eighth Division fought from the beginning to the end of the battle, there is no reason for the Thirty-sixth Division to take turns and rest alone. After all, these three divisions are one!

"Can a tank be destroyed with a gasoline bottle?" Song Xilian asked with a frown. It's not that he is stupid, but that tanks have not been widely used in this era. They are only used as a new type of arms. In addition to combat anti-aircraft guns and cluster grenades, they I have never heard of other weapons that can restrain tanks.

"Yes, it's a gasoline bottle. To be precise, it's a gasoline burning bottle." Zhang Tianhai nodded and said seriously, "We can collect glass bottles, fill them with gasoline, and then use fuses to light them from the outside. As long as the gasoline burning bottle is thrown into the tank's fuel tank, Then everything will be fine.”

Song Xilian frowned, turned around twice and asked, "Is this gasoline burning bottle really as effective as you say?"

Zhang Tianhai was just about to say that gasoline Molotov cocktails were used on a large scale during the Soviet-Finnish War, but he immediately remembered that the Soviet-Finnish War was in the winter of 1939, but it was only the summer of 1937.

So, as soon as the words came to his lips, Zhang Tianhai swallowed them back, and then changed his words and said: "Go back to the teacher's seat, I dare to use my life as a guarantee, this thing is absolutely effective. I have observed it, the little devil's tank fuel tank is at the rear, The tail is precisely the weak point of the armor. According to the welding technology of our era, it is far from being able to weld the entire tank to the point where it is impermeable to liquids."

After listening to Zhang Tianhai's explanation, Song Xilian's eyes suddenly brightened and he said: "This method is feasible. Gasoline is flammable, and the fuel diesel used in the Little Devil Tank is also flammable. Once ignited, it will definitely burn. Cause an explosion...well...this method is really good, Yulin, you are really my lucky general, haha, I want to report my idea to the war zone commander's department!"

"Thank you for your compliments, sir. I believe that while reporting this method, our division headquarters manufactured a large number of Molotov cocktails. Shanghai's economy is so prosperous and there are many cars. Finding some gasoline should not be a problem. Glass bottles will be even easier." Zhang Tianhai suggested.

Song Xilian thought for a while and said: "Okay, no problem. You will be responsible for this matter! You lead the officers and soldiers of your battalion to perform this task."

"But... about the frontline combat, our regiment leader hasn't..." Zhang Tianhai said with some embarrassment.

But before Zhang Tianhai could finish speaking, Song Xilian interrupted him: "Am I your commander's commander or is your commander my commander? Since this matter is decided by me, you can just carry it out. good."

"Yes, Master." Zhang Tianhai stood at attention, saluted, and then went out.

After Zhang Tianhai left, Song Xilian turned to Hu Jiaji and said: "De Cheng, I sent out your first battalion. Now the second battalion of your regiment is also fighting. There is only one third battalion left, which will serve as a reserve temporarily." Bar!"

"Yes." Hu Jiaji sat on a chair and saluted with a military salute. After all, he was a wounded person now and his legs and feet were not very convenient.



After walking out of the regiment headquarters, Zhang Tianhai asked the entire first battalion to assemble.

In this battle, Li Chunfei's 1st company suffered the heaviest casualties, losing more than 70 men. The 2nd and 3rd companies each lost 30 to 40 men.

Seeing that the battalion had shrunk by nearly a quarter in this tough battle, Zhang Tianhai felt really distressed: these are his subordinates and brothers.

If it weren't for the two artillery batteries sent by the division headquarters, Zhang Tianhai really didn't know how many casualties he would have to pay to capture Shajing Port!

At the same time, Zhang Tianhai also had a clear understanding of the strength of the Japanese Marine Corps: tenacious fighting will, accurate marksmanship, extremely powerful individual combat effectiveness, and better equipment than the national army, especially in the equipment of light and heavy weapons!

The Japanese Marine Corps may not be as good as the Japanese Army in terms of group combat, but in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they are definitely stronger than Army soldiers.

Although Zhang Tianhai has not officially fought against the Japanese Army, he has already been vaguely aware of it.
