Will I personally lead the team to attack the Japanese Special Marine Corps Headquarters in Shanghai?
Hearing this, Zhang Tianhai's heart sank slightly. He knew what this meant. It was equivalent to launching a suicide charge!
But since the brigade commander personally ordered this matter, there was no reason to take it back, so Zhang Tianhai could only choose to obey. He stood at attention and saluted: "Yes. Brigadier, I want to ask you a question. If we lead a charge, what will happen?" Is there artillery support?”
Peng Jiguang thought for a moment and said, "There will be artillery support from the 10th Independent Artillery Regiment that previously supported the 88th Division's attack here. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Okay, that's okay. It's better to have artillery support than no artillery support. I humble myself and obey orders!" Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted, his eyes full of determination. The Japanese Marine Corps headquarters is not a kind place. The Eighty-eighth Division suffered losses. After so many brothers failed to attack, he didn't think that he, an extremely ordinary ordinary person, could lead troops to attack.
Yes, he was indeed the commander of the Sharp Knife Company of the People's Liberation Army Marine Corps in his previous life. He can be considered a special forces soldier. However, special forces soldiers are not omnipotent.
Facing such an invulnerable steel behemoth, he had neither large-caliber howitzers nor air force support, not to mention, this was not a jungle.
It can be said that at this time, except that his shooting skills are better than others, there is not much difference at all.
For Zhang Tianhai, going to the battlefield was tantamount to going to death. He did it knowing that he couldn't do it, but he had no choice but to do it. It's like he knew that Shanghai would not be able to be defended sooner or later, but he still chose to stay here and fight instead of living with peace of mind as a deserter.
Men should take responsibility!
The bunker fortifications in front of North Sichuan Road had long been bombarded by the artillery fire of the Independent Artillery Regiment and were in a mess. The burning bonfires were roaring with grinning teeth, burning out a burst of choking smoke. Many corpses fell on the ground. Rivers of blood flowed.
Everything shows that this place has just experienced a tragic battle.
Arriving here with the brothers behind him, Zhang Tianhai bit his lower lip. Looking at the messy scene, he felt a sense of powerlessness from the inside out. It was for the building in front of him that was as tight as a steel behemoth. The thing feels sincerely powerless.
The artillery of the independent artillery regiment of the national army is not very advanced, and it is basically 75 mm caliber mountain artillery. Want to destroy that building with such a large caliber? Forget it!
"Battal Commander, when will we launch the attack?" Li Chunfei, the first company commander who was following behind him, asked.
"Wait, don't rush. Let's investigate the enemy situation first." After saying that, Zhang Tianhai picked up the telescope and observed the building hundreds of meters away.
After a while, Zhang Tianhai put down the telescope and said, "Bring me the Type 24 Mauser shotgun!"
That's right, this Type 24 Mauser shotgun is the sniper rifle defined by later generations, but it is not called a sniper rifle at this time, but a "shotgun". The name has something to do with its origin - due to the British colonization of India. British officials or nobles also had the custom of hunting in the Indian countryside or wilderness. During the hunt, they accidentally discovered that the snipe (snipe) belonging to the genus Snipe was extremely difficult to hunt. The archer was able to disguise himself and ambush, supplemented by excellent weapons. Rifles with higher shooting skills and precision can be hunted.
Therefore, the word sniper was derived from "sniper hunter".
Holding this 1924 Mauser shotgun equipped with a 4x optical lens, Zhang Tianhai said to the brothers behind him: "Brothers, we have to sneak up quietly in a while. Li Chunfei, you can bring more than a dozen Brothers who are good at marksmanship specialize in shooting into the enemy's gun holes. There are basically enemy machine gunners there, and they hit one after another."
"Yes, battalion commander." Li Chunfei responded.
Zhang Tianhai nodded and looked at another team with only about thirty people. Different from other teams, the soldiers in this team carried explosive packs on their backs!
"Are the death squads ready? Brothers of the death squads, listen up. The artillery regiment will open fire to cover you in a moment. Your mission is to blow open the door. Brothers, since you are on the battlefield this time, you are going to die. Come on, you guys take a step first, the battalion commander will be here soon!" Zhang Tian said through gritted teeth.
"Sir, to be honest, it's so damn fun to fight the Japanese with you. We have never fought such a fun battle. Battalion Commander, don't worry! Even if our death squad soldiers die, they will still Mission accomplished!" said the leading second lieutenant officer. He was an officer recruited from the supplementary regiment, named Zhao Jianmin, and served as the captain of the death squad.
Zhang Tianhai patted Zhao Jianmin on the shoulder and said with tears in his eyes: "Okay, we are all brothers, so stop talking. You use your lives to open the channel for us, and we will repay you with the heads of the Japanese."
To be honest, Zhang Tianhai felt very uncomfortable at this time. He knew better than anyone what this order meant to the brothers in the death squad - this was a fatal order!
"Yes, battalion commander. I don't need to say anything more. How can there be a complete egg in the crowd? Brothers all understand." Zhao Jianmin smiled softly, revealing his two rows of big white teeth, and he still looked so honest and honest.
Listening to what Zhao Jianmin said, Zhang Tianhai once again took a deep look at the more than thirty members of the death squad in front of him. Wherever his eyes went, there was only firmness.
"Okay, brothers. After the artillery regiment launches the bombardment, you will launch an attack. At the same time, the brothers of the second company will cooperate with you to launch the attack together. In short, this battle will be won, and China will win!" Zhang Tianhai said loudly , the eyes were also firm.
After saying that, Zhang Tianhai took Li Chunfei and a dozen sharpshooters selected from the entire battalion and moved forward.
Of course, this is not an easy thing to do. After all, the Japanese army's vigilance is not low. If the Japanese army's vigilance is really low, this place may have been captured by the Chinese army long ago!
Just as Zhang Tianhai led the officers and soldiers to move over, a round of bullets hit the ground in front of Zhang Tianhai and others, kicking up a burst of dust.
"The Japanese have discovered us, stay hidden, stay hidden!" The moment the bullet hit the ground, Zhang Tianhai retreated into the dilapidated house behind him, not forgetting to shout a few words.
Fortunately, the enemy's machine gun fire did not hit anyone. After all, the distance was still a bit far, and the enemy's machine gun was sometimes not always hit.
