I don't know how to count these weapons and equipment, and I'm shocked when I count them.
There are more than 1,700 melon grenades, more than 300 grenade shells, and countless machine gun bullets and rifle bullets.
In addition, there are four Japanese-made Type 99 light machine guns.
This made Wei He and others sigh, these little Japanese are so damn rich. The weapons and ammunition transported this time were so much, which was enough for a Japanese brigade to launch two medium-sized battles.
In fact, at the beginning of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army was quite generous in terms of weapons, equipment and ammunition. After all, at the beginning, their strategic purpose was only to capture Nanjing, and then use it as a bargaining chip to use force to coerce Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing. The Nationalist Government just surrendered.
Later, the Japanese army discovered that the Nationalist Government did not seem to intend to surrender, and then formulated a combat strategy for the next period, transforming the Nationalist Government from a national government into a local government.
This was the stage of the attack on Nanjing, so both the Japanese base camp and the commander of the Central China Dispatch Force of the invading Japanese army, Matsui Iwane, were very generous in the supply of weapons and ammunition.
During this period, they only wanted the word "quick" and wanted to win Nanjing as quickly as possible. As long as they win Nanjing, the chance of victory will be greater.
Besides, after taking Shanghai, the Japanese base camp also issued orders such as the "Operation Restriction Line". It was Matsui Iwane and others who wanted to "continue to expand the results of the war," so they continued to move forward regardless of the Japanese base camp's orders. .
Therefore, for Matsui Iwane, whether he can quickly capture Nanjing is related to his future and life. He is even more generous in supplying materials to these combat troops - as long as Nanjing is captured, anything can be said. Everything that was lost would be replenished, and he would be proud of himself, which was such an honor; but if he couldn't defeat it, General Matsui Iwane would have to commit seppuku.
Therefore, the complete destruction of the Japanese Army's 3rd Battalion of the 56th Regiment made Wei He's temporary first battalion make a small fortune.
Looking at this batch of weapons and equipment distributed, Wei He felt really distressed - it would be great if this battle at the rear did not have to be fought. These weapons and equipment can fully equip the First Battalion. Although the Japanese The weapons and equipment are not as good as the German weapons and equipment, but they are still better than those local armies with the old Hanyang-made weapons, right?
There are more than 700 or nearly 800 people in the temporary first battalion. It can be called a reinforced battalion that has been strengthened to the point that it cannot be strengthened. Therefore, this cannot help but make Wei He feel distressed.
It hurts, but weapons and equipment must always be used. Considering that the tasks performed by the third company are more dangerous and arduous, Wei He not only gave each person of the third company five grenades, but also strengthened the four newly captured light machine guns. It was given to the third company to ensure that the third company could suppress the enemy's firepower as soon as the battle started.
After distributing the equipment, the third company commander took more than 250 people from the third company up the mountain.
At this time, the battle on the other side of the mountain started. It was the rear company reserved by the second battalion that had a fierce battle with the Japanese army.
For Gu Shi'an, this battle was unlucky for the thieves. According to the scheduled time, they could retreat in two minutes, and this little devil came up.
"His grandma, this brat won't let me live, and I won't let you live easy either!" Gu Shi'an cursed.
Gu Shi'an, like Zhang Tianhai, was a student in the seventh phase of Huangpu, but he was not as lucky as Zhang Tianhai - Zhang Tianhai went to Songhu battlefield to fight a few battles, nothing happened, he was shot, and then It can be said that his official career has been smooth sailing and he has been promoted all the way, directly from a company commander to the leader of the German Armament Reinforcement Regiment.
You know, many students from the fourth or fifth phase of Huangpu are still serving as commanders of ordinary infantry regiments, and they are not yet German weapons regiments, let alone reinforcement regiments.
Gu Shi'an was born in the Teaching Corps. Although the companies directly under the Teaching Corps had been renamed battalions when the Nanjing Defense War began, in fact, no soldiers joined them, and they were still organized as companies. Gu Shi'an was the one who was renamed the battalion. Directly subordinate to the company commander.
The officers and soldiers of Gu Shi'an and Ma Weilong's brigade were different. The entire third brigade of Ma Weilong's teaching corps retreated together, while Gu Shi'an's unit was encircled on Zijin Mountain, and all the troops were beaten during the breakout. Dispersed.
Since the Japanese army attacked from their backs, this battle was very painful for the Japanese army, but they had to charge, so the battle was once very fierce.
"Company Commander, our troops don't have much ammunition left, so we probably won't be able to fight for long. Do you want to retreat!?" the machine gunner next to Gu Shi'an reported.
"What?! We're running out of ammunition?!" Gu Shi'an seemed a little unsure.
"Yes, company commander, we haven't had much ammunition since we withdrew, and after we broke through, we have no ammunition to replenish. Every shot fired is one less shot..." The machine gunner had to remind Gu Shi'an of this cruel fact. .
Out of ammunition? Then we definitely can't fight. Anyway, the mission has been completed. If we continue to fight, it will be in vain to kill the Japanese soldiers.
Looking at the ant-like dense and dark Japanese army in front of him, although Gu Shian wanted to kill the enemy, his strength did not allow it. The cruel reality had ruthlessly shattered his thoughts.
"Go! Retreat, fight while retreating, the machine gunners immediately suppress the enemy with fire, and then retreat!" Gu Shi'an said, holding up the Mauser pistol in his hand. He did not capture such a delicate weapon as Browning's Pistol, so it can only be used as an officer's pistol of the German Arms Forces standard.
"Yes!" After receiving Gu Shi'an's retreat order, the officers and soldiers of the Second Company of the Second Battalion also began to withdraw. Except for the machine gunners who suppressed the enemy's firepower, everyone else retreated first.
The retreat direction is of course towards Chunhua Town.
…
The 13th Regiment of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, led by the commander Yuzo Sakata, marched all the way towards Niushou Mountain. More than 3,700 people were divided into three lines and moved forward. The length of the formation was naturally not short. , it can be said to be very long.
As the captain of the unit, Sakata Yuzo naturally would not be at the front of the team. When he heard the news that the forward troops' attack was blocked, he immediately ordered the team to fully deploy and organize a rear attack.
"Get ready~~~release!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
One after another mortar shells and grenade shells hit hard on the mid-mountain blocking line that had been temporarily defended by the 2nd Battalion and 2nd Company, blooming in the dark night with fiery red explosion flames, which looked very similar. The blooming roses are full of murderous aura.
The shells exploded after being bombarded, and then made bursts of deafening explosions, which was very terrifying!
"Quickly retreat! Before the Japs have completely attacked! They are bombarding our position!" Gu Shian shouted in his Mandarin with a Jiangxi accent. Because it was in the dark night, his words With his tall height of 1.8 meters and the goose green officer uniform, he is not that conspicuous in the crowd.
In fact, the soldiers who retreated with Gu Shi'an were all veterans who had been on the battlefield. After hearing the explosion from behind, they ran extremely fast - taking advantage of the Japanese army's shelling of the position and their inability to charge, Why don't you run quickly? Otherwise, wait until the little devil catches up?
When it comes to saving lives, these veterans are smarter than anyone else - fight the battles that need to be fought fiercely, and don't be slow when you need to run. If you are slow, you will die!
Therefore, Gu Shi'an's company can be said to "run faster than rabbits" to a certain extent.
…
"Company commander, there is a troop in front of us that is running so damn fast. Could they be the Japs' troops?" A soldier next to Ni Dayong, commander of the third company of the first battalion, pointed to the distance and was still running for his life. Gu Shi'an's company said.
Hearing these words, Ni Dayong's face suddenly darkened, and there was a little twitching on his face, yes, it was twitching!
Unable to bear it, Ni Dayong slapped the soldier on the back of his head and cursed: "Are you blind? How can the little devil's army be in such a mess? This army looks very poorly equipped. Besides, , The blast from the front was so exciting. Now, except for the little devils, which of our troops has such heroic spirit? Can they blast to this extent with mortar shells?!"
That's right, Ni Dayong recognized that it was the small-caliber mortar that made such a sound. The explosion of the Qiwu Mountain Cannon was not like this.
"Oh, I understand, company commander." The soldier said with aggrieved face.
