The soldier's frightened eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by an uneasy uncertainty.
I'm not sure if I can kill the Japanese troops if I encounter them.
No one was talking, and every soldier's face became solemn. They all faced the Japanese army's combat capability and stabbing ability in their hearts.
"Continue training." It's useless to talk too much. I've explained everything myself, and the rest has to be understood by the soldiers. If I talk too much, some soldiers don't believe it. They need to go to the battlefield and suffer losses to truly know the powerful combat capabilities of the Japanese army.
To what extent.
The infantry of the three companies continued to train in this hot weather. Zhou Weiguo came to the machine gun company again and pointed out that the future firepower allocation of the machine gun company should not be grouped together as in the past, but should form a firepower exchange in the dispersion.
Let the other side's artillery fire be unleashed. After the explanation, Zhou Weiguo went to the level fire artillery platoon to let the soldiers practice. He saw if there were any mistakes in it.
Hu Yong saw in the barracks that Zhou Weiguo had visited almost the entire battalion. He was a little horrified and came to Zhou Jin who was observing the soldiers' training: "How did I find out that the battalion commander is omnipotent?"
Zhou Jin turned around slightly and looked at Zhou Weiguo, who was sitting on the ground not far away talking to an artilleryman. He glanced at Hu Yong with a teasing look and said, "Awesome, let's see someone better than you."
"Don't talk about it, we are still good friends." Hu Yong blushed a little. In the past, he was very good at shooting, but now he is nothing in front of the battalion commander. I thought he was good at shooting, but looking at this,
Can do everything.
"You haven't responded to my question yet?" Hu Yong, who was interrupted, turned to look at Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin hadn't responded yet. Zhao Li, the commander of the third company beside him, crossed his arms and came to the two of them. "I heard that our battalion commander asked the division commander to make a reservation in advance. I don't know the specific reason."
Hu Yong hummed and suddenly realized: "It's possible. Our battalion has not had a battalion commander for several months. Old Zhou is in charge of it. Also, for our training, the division headquarters has sent medical soldiers. This is ordinary people."
What kind of treatment can you get?"
Several people were talking to each other, but Zhou Weiguo, who was in front of the cannon, didn't know that he was explaining how to quickly aim and calculate the wind speed to hit the enemy with the highest efficiency.
For several days in a row, the entire camp was busy training.
Early this morning, Zhou Weiguo wanted to go to the machine gun battery to take a look. Before he could go out, the sound of a motorcycle sounded outside the window. He slightly raised his head and looked at the window. In the breeze, a figure jumped from above.
Come down and run this way.
That's the regimental messenger.
"First battalion commander, the regiment headquarters ordered an urgent gathering and went to Hankou Pier to board the ship to Nanjing."
The sound was so loud that not only did Zhou Weiguo hear it, but the other company commanders also heard it. Zhou Weiguo looked at the somewhat panting messenger in front of him and nodded, "Tell the commander that our troops will gather immediately and go to Hankou Pier."
Hu Yong tilted his neck and looked at the messenger who had already left on his motorcycle and looked at Zhou Weiguo; "Batalion Commander; "Are we going to?"
What is supposed to come is bound to come. Zhou Weiguo slightly looked towards Shanghai, where the sky was full of morning glow; "There is going to be a war."
Fighting? A few people looked serious. The battalion commander's words meant that the entire division had to go to the front line and go to Shanghai.
"Let's gather urgently." Zhou Weiguo lit his cigarette, looked back at the adobe house where he had not been there for long, and said softly.
Toot toot…
The sound of military bugles for urgent muster wafted through the silent barracks.
In less than five minutes, a battalion of more than 500 troops gathered at the training ground.
Zhou Weiguo took a look at the nearly 600 troops and the heavy machine guns and mortars placed at the front, then looked at the silent soldiers; "Brothers, I won't say more, I want to
You probably know the reason, I have said what I should say, and I have taught you what should be taught during this period. Next, I need you to go to the battlefield and understand it for yourselves."
He paused and looked at the hundreds of people again: "There are some things that I just talk about are useless. They must be practiced on the battlefield. But here, I want to remind you that if you go to the battlefield and encounter
Enemy bombers or naval cannons, remember this. Never crawl on the ground. You must find a place to squat on the ground with your mouth wide open and your ears covered. Otherwise, the shock waves from the cannons and bombers will shatter your internal organs alive.
, you understand everything."
"Understood." The response that sounded like a bell made Zhou Weiguo nod and look at the several company commanders around him; "Lead the team and go to Hankou Pier in order. The horizontal artillery and machine gun companies will go behind, and the battalion headquarters will march with the machine gun company.
"
The mighty army left the barracks and headed for the Hankou Pier.
As soon as he entered the city, Zhou Weiguo discovered that the entire division was being mobilized, and the common people seemed to know what the troops were doing and stood by the side to see them off. Some people even casually stuffed the things they bought into the hands of the soldiers.
The troops, four in a row, arrived at the Hankou Pier under the guidance of the military flag. At this moment, the Hankou Pier was full of soldiers wearing drab gray military uniforms. There were already troops gathering in front, which should be the second and third battalions. Zhou Weiguo saw that there were already people in front.
Unable to move, the troops were ordered to stay on the spot, waiting to board the ship.
A few people came to the shade of a tree nearby and watched the landing troops silently. The entire Hankou Pier seemed to have only the wind, except for the fishing boats passing by on the river and the sound of whistles.
The sound of rustling leaves.
No one spoke, everyone just stared blankly at the landing troops in the distance.
It was finally time for his troops to board the ship. Zhou Weiguo ordered to board the small steamer in order. Under the guidance of a captain, he came to the location of the third battalion at the stern of the ship and asked the soldiers to disband on the spot without conflict with the other battalions.
, you can move around on the ship.
There were ships in front and behind, with more than 10,000 people in the 58th Division. Such a small steamer could not be loaded at once, so a total of three small steamers were used. The small steamer he was on was the smallest among the several ships, so it was
It happened to contain a regiment of troops.
Going down the river, the scenery along the way is endless. When we are about to arrive in Nanjing, there are more and more ships going up the river. These ships carry a large amount of machinery and equipment, and from time to time there are people on them saying hello.
"Batalion Commander, why are there so many ships?" Hu Yong came to Zhou Weiguo who was leaning on the guardrail of the ship and pointed at him and asked.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the ships going back one after another; "Those are the factories and companies that were evacuated from the surrounding areas of Shanghai."
