Chapter 2 Pain
"Yes, company commander."
When Xu Sangou heard what Zhang Tianhai said, he was obviously very happy, at least he looked happy.
Zhang Tianhai held the German M35 helmet on his head and slowly closed his eyes, but when he closed his eyes, his eyes were filled with familiar faces that had been pierced by rifle bullets.
Pain is not ordinary pain.
A drop of clear tears flowed out from the corner of his eyes, then passed through his handsome face, which was darkened by the smoke of gunpowder, and finally dripped onto his dirty military uniform.
Yes, they are the most elite German-armed divisions in the whole of China, and are the leader of the Chinese army in terms of combat effectiveness.
But after all, they are humans, not gods, and they are also flesh and blood. If they are hit by bullets, they will be injured and sacrificed. From the early morning to now, more than fifty brothers have died in just six hours, and more than twenty seriously injured brothers have been unsure of their lives. How could Zhang Tianhai, who has always had a strong relationship, not be sad?
Zhang Tianhai in his previous life was indeed the leader of the Marine Brigade. He was a man who could be called a "God of War" in the Marine Brigade, but so what? Can he fight alone against the Japanese planes and cannons? Can he save his comrades who were sacrificing? Can he return the soldiers who were preparing to go to the battlefield without any damage?
No, he can do nothing, he is just a person, he can't fight against the whole world.
If Zhang Tianhai was allowed to play jungle war with this group of Japanese troops alone, he might still survive, but now he is the company commander! He wants to command this battle, and he will lead the entire company's soldiers to break through the Japanese defense line!
You know, he is facing the Japanese Marine Corps, which has the strongest combat effectiveness in East Asia in this era!
When he was the squadron leader of the reconnaissance brigade in his previous life, Zhang Tianhai thought countless times that what would happen if he came to the War of Resistance Against Japan? Will he lead the troops to win step by step?
However, when the "dream" comes true, the reality is so cruel - the enemy he faces is definitely the trump card among the Japanese army. They shoot very accurately and hide in the buildings and shoot from a high place. Company Commander Li Haocheng died at the hands of these Japanese devils who fired cold guns.
From its birth, the Marine Corps requires that this is a first-class force, both in terms of individual combat effectiveness and overall combat effectiveness, because their mission is to land on the coastline guarded by the enemy's heavily troops.
Because of the mission, the Marine Corps is a first-class elite, both in the modern and in the past, just like the People's Liberation Army Marine Brigade in the 21st century. Which one is not a quick response force?
In this era, due to limited steel resources, especially copper mines, Japan was even more scarce, so this required the Japanese soldiers' marksmanship to be accurate and not to waste bullets.
It is precisely because this requirement was implemented by the Japanese army from top to bottom that the quality of 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, but people often ignore that there is another unit in the Japanese army that has stronger combat effectiveness than the standing division, that is, the Japanese Marine Corps.
Why is it said that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Marine Corps is stronger than that of the Japanese Army Standing Division? This has to start with Japan's "sea and land dispute".
As we all know, Japan is surrounded by the sea and is a typical maritime power country. It is precisely because Japan is a maritime power country that it means that it depends 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 that it costs more money to raise the navy, and it also needs to vigorously develop the scale of the navy!
Look, like a warship, how much money does it cost and how much resources does it cost from completion to launching?
As for the army, it is relatively simple to raise, just have guns, cannons and food to eat.
It can be said that the cost of building a warship can form three standing divisions, and it also includes a whole year's food expenses. Of course, this is just the cost of building, not including later maintenance, which is another astronomical amount.
This is the difference.
Japan is a country with extremely poor resources, and most of the domestic resources are tilted towards the navy, so it has created a phenomenon that the navy is rich and the army is poor.
In Japan, the Army Standing Division, which is relatively short of funds, has already had extremely strong combat effectiveness, let alone the navy that exists like a great man.
Well, if you have money, you are the master.
A good gunman is fed with bullets instead of aiming at the target.
As the only marine unit of the Japanese Navy, Yamamoto Iroku would naturally not be stingy with such a little 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 was facing at this time was the ace force of the Japanese army!
Like the "sea and land dispute" during World War I and even World War II, the professor had already said it in the military academy class in the 21st century, and Zhang Tianhai remembered it clearly.
But so what? You have to fight for your life?
One scene after another flashed through his head like a lantern. Zhang Tianhai's mood had never calmed down because of a kind of pain that made him heart-wrenching.
Holding this German 1924 Mauser rifle picked up from some sacrificed comrade in his hand, Zhang Tianhai inexplicably got some peace in his heart, because this rifle could accompany him to kill the enemy and eliminate enemies!
Fifteen minutes are not long or short, but for the soldiers fighting on the front line, it is undoubtedly very short.
Time flies in a flash.
Before the fifteen-minute time limit was reached, Zhang Tianhai asked everyone to get up and prepare for the battle.
On the street, the rain extinguished the burning fireworks. At this time, the rain stopped, and only a pool of blood was left on the ground under the rising sun, including Chinese soldiers and Japanese.
The streets were quiet at this time, without the usual lively noise.
Obviously, the Japanese also took advantage of this rare rest time to take a break.
At this quiet moment, a roar of diesel engines suddenly came from a distance.
Zhang Tianhai's face changed slightly, and he immediately shouted: "Hurry up, integrate the grenades into a bunch, and the Japanese tank is coming! Remember! If you have the chance, throw the cluster grenade into the bottom of the tank!"
As a modern man, how could Zhang Tianhai not know the power of the tank known as the "King of Land Warfare". Although the Japanese tanks were not equipped with artillery but machine guns at this time, with the weapons equipped by the current national army, there were really few who could deal with such thin-skinned tanks. After all, there was no such artifact as a rocket launcher in this era!
In this case, cluster grenades and war defense cannons are undoubtedly good weapons to restrain tanks, but war defense cannons are still on the side of the Fair Road, and Battalion Commander Gu's third battalion officers and soldiers are using them. Even if they are pulled over at this time, it will be too late.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers of their first battalion could only rely on cluster grenades.
