The flares are still shining in the sky, the pile of firewood is still emitting green smoke, and when the wind blows, even the firewood pile will turn a little red, just like the charcoal fire that has been lit in the darkness.
To be honest, this firewood pile is no longer a complete firewood pile. The upper part has already collapsed and burned, and the lower part has begun to smoke due to moisture.
In the view of the Japanese army, such a pile of firewood could no longer hide people, so the Japanese army gathered their shattered officers and soldiers onto the carriage and left, leaving only dozens of corpses of Chinese officers and soldiers in place.
But the Japanese army didn't know that they had left four more Chinese soldiers alive.
The Japanese army's flares are no longer as frequent as before.
However, the four Chinese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive did not leave immediately. They were still waiting.
As Shang Zhen analyzed, now that the Japanese army has not stopped firing flares, there is no need for them to leave in a hurry. They can wait until the Japanese army stops firing flares and slowly move out from the fields.
Shang Zhen didn't believe it. Even if the Japanese army, which was eager to occupy Nanjing, established a blockade outside Nanjing, they would certainly be able to detect the large troops breaking out, but they might not be able to stop the four little miscellaneous fish like them that slipped through the net.
If you make him anxious, he will really do what he said before and let go of a pig in any village, and then they will use the pork as rations. Although they will not eat meat while walking, But it’s always okay to carry a dozen pounds of meat on one person’s back.
Now Shang Zhen is lying with Fang Zhiping, and Fang Zhiping is the only survivor of Captain Lu and his group.
Just after the Japanese troops who were cleaning the battlefield left, Shang Zhen and the others couldn't leave now, so they naturally had to communicate.
It's just that Fang Zhiping made no secret of his reaction to the conversation with the consumptive Bai Zhan, so he didn't say anything nice to Bai Zhan. When Bai Zhan wanted to say something extraneous, Shang Zhen also scolded Bai Zhan.
Shang Zhen said that Bai Zhan's words were very simple, just one sentence: "We have left Nanjing now. If you can't get used to staying with us, you can leave!"
With these words, Bai Zhan finally stopped.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, Bai Zhan was originally a thief. His temperament and appearance were not the same as Fang Zhiping's serious talk and smile. They were both soldiers and thieves in their inner instincts. mutually exclusive.
Because of this, Fang Hanping took the initiative to crawl over and talk to Shang Zhen.
"Are you from the 88th Division?" Shang Zhen looked at Fang Zhiping in surprise.
"The accent sounds like you are from Northeast China. Do you also know the 88th Division?" Fang Zhiping asked.
"Well, I've heard of some German weapon masters." Shang Zhen responded.
In the city of Nanjing, when Shang Zhen followed the battalion commander Wen and met the company commander Lu, the commander Lu reported that the troops had changed their numbers, but Shang Zhen didn't pay attention at the time, so he didn't take it seriously.
"Then why aren't you wearing that German-style steel helmet?" At this time, Yu Zuolong asked curiously from the side, but then he naturally introduced, "I am an adjuster."
Technically speaking, although the Adjustment Division and the 88th Division are both closely related to the German Division and both belong to the Yuan Central Army, there are still differences after all.
After someone led the Republic of China government to nominally unify China, it was natural that it would start to reorganize the army, so there was a matter of inviting military consultants from Germany to reorganize and train the army of the Republic of China.
At that time, he wanted to establish many German-style divisions, but due to different progress, the only ones that could really meet the German-style division standards were three divisions plus a tax police corps.
Why is there a tax police corps here? In fact, it is not a bad idea to think of the tax police corps as someone's uncle's personal guard. This is another topic related to the Republic of China and I won't go into it.
And the 88th Division is one of these four troops. Although the weapons and equipment of the 88th Division are still far behind the real German army, in the current Chinese army, it is definitely the best among the best, the most elite. of the elite.
If the Central Army can be regarded as someone's imperial army, then the German weapon master can be regarded as someone's sword-wielding guard!
Shang Zhen and the others have been in Nanjing for nearly half a month. Of course, he knows something about the German weapon master.
There are two brigades under one division, and two regiments under one brigade.
The troops directly under the regiment include a mortar company (six mortars), an infantry artillery company (four 75mm infantry guns), a communications company, and a special agent company.
A regiment consists of three infantry battalions.
The direct troops of a battalion also include a machine gun company (six heavy machine guns, two of which have anti-aircraft machine gun mounts), and a mortar platoon (two 82mm mortars).
There are three infantry companies under a battalion, three platoons under a company, and three squads under a platoon. Each squad has a ZB26, and the rifles are all medium-sized.
Shang Zhen actually asked for advice on what ZB26 was at that time. In other words, it was a Czech light machine gun!
The German Arms Corps all wear German steel helmets, and the most striking feature of the German steel helmets is that they look extra safe and heavy. They have a wide rim at the back, and they look so classy!
Compared with the German-style helmet, the British Tony-style helmet, which was shallow and looked like a serving plate or dish, looked so thin and classless!
Even the German mechanic’s kettle is German style!
Moreover, the moral weapon masters are still paid in full on a monthly basis, which is very different from other armies.
Nowadays, let alone some local miscellaneous troops, the paper establishment of the direct line of the Central Army is very different from the actual number. Officers at all levels are blatantly taking their pay.
For example, if there are fifteen or six hundred people on a group roster, the actual number may be just over a thousand. As for the extra part, it is a name, but the name is You can ask for payment from above, and then it falls into the officer's pocket.
If some people still don't understand this, then you can understand it as, the wife of a certain high-ranking official is also paid by the government, but when did she go to work? People only need to receive money every month.
It can also be understood as a certain star in later generations claiming to have 80 million fans!
But how many real fans does he have? God knows then, but what is certain is that the vast majority of them are zombie fans!
The above mentioned are the Central Army or the miscellaneous army, but there is no such situation for the moral weapon masters to be free of charge, and the actual number of them may even be a little more than what is on the roster.
This is undoubtedly a breath of fresh air in the army nowadays!
Because of the above, when the Central Army was mentioned in newspapers before the Anti-Japanese War, the German weapons division must be mentioned. The German weapons division has become the image spokesperson of the Central Army!
At this time, Yu Zuolong, an adjuster who seemed to be a level lower than the German Mechanic. When he heard that Fang Zhiping was a German Mechanic, he naturally thought of the German Mechanic who looked so mighty and domineering. German-style steel helmet, that's why he asked people why they weren't wearing a steel helmet.
But at this time, Fang Zhiping's answer made Yu Zuolong Shangzhen and the others stunned.
They saw Fang Zhiping curl his lips and say: "German-style steel helmet, a German-style armorer, the unlucky one is this German-style helmet!"
