Representing the Fourth Battalion in the battle was a second lieutenant platoon leader from the 4th Battalion Artillery Company!
During the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, this man was a sergeant mortarman of Lei Xiong's machine gun company.
Among German weapon divisions like the 88th Division, those who can serve as sergeants must have some level of proficiency, and this veteran named Zheng Xianping is the first gunner of the 524th Regiment.
Because there were no guns available, he could only retreat to the concession with the main force of the regiment. Later, he followed Shangguan Yun and others to the Taihang Mountains, and was promoted from sergeant to second lieutenant of the mortar platoon.
One of Zheng Xianping's most impressive skills is that he can accurately judge distances with the naked eye alone without relying on any rangefinder. He also seems to have a natural affinity for weapons such as artillery. No matter what kind of artillery, he can quickly get started.
If Shangguan Yun and Qin Ruoyu hadn't been forced to stay, they might have been recruited by Pang Panghai and sent to the artillery battalion as deputy company commanders of the heavy forced company.
The Japanese 50mm grenade in his hand was just like a toy!
Shangguan Yun sent him out just to earn a lot of face for the Fourth Battalion.
The main reason is that there is still a gap between the Fourth Battalion and the other three infantry battalions that have been established for a long time. The other infantry battalions all have fist troops. For example, the First Battalion has Wei Donglai's Steel Company, the Second Battalion also has Cai Yongguan's Hard Bone Company, and the Third Battalion has every force.
The 7th company must be the sharp knife company in the battle. Even among his four battalions, none of them have been able to stand out enough to be famous.
Therefore, in this military competition, other infantry battalions could not win the championship, but only the men of his fourth battalion could not.
This faction is the best artilleryman in the entire Four Lines Regiment.
Sure enough, Zheng Xianping lived up to expectations. The already strict physical training of the Fourth Army Group allowed him to place in the top two places. After having enough time to adjust his breathing rate, the sharpshooter fired all five grenade rounds and landed around the fortifications, deviating from the maximum.
The distance is no more than 4 meters.
At the ultra-long distance of 500 meters, the effective range of the grenade, and without any test firing, the crater only deviated from the target by less than 4 meters. This is an absolutely magical gunner.
This time, the 921 Division was far behind. The grenade launcher they sent out came first in running. Of the five grenades that could be fired, two of them missed 20 meters away and were not counted in the score. Three of the grenade launchers missed the target at a distance of 20 meters.
A position of about 8 meters.
This should also have something to do with the fact that the 921 Division's guard battalion is not equipped with many grenadiers. Today, with the support of the Four Lines Regiment, the 921 Division's guard troops have all been equipped with German weapons and equipment, mainly submachine guns and Czech light machine guns.
The mortar also chose the 82 mortar, which has more powerful firepower.
For the generals of the 80th Group Army, the fear of insufficient firepower did not actually begin when they encountered the Japanese during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Perhaps it had become deeply rooted in their bones as early as seven or eight years ago during their confrontation with certain people.
The Japanese 50mm grenade was naturally regarded as a treasure in the early days, but as new equipment was constantly updated and iterated, as the last trump card in the hands of the division leader, it was naturally no longer equipped in the guard camp.
If the grenade launchers from the front-line troops of the two main regiments, the 772nd Regiment and the 771st Regiment, are recruited, the strength will probably be much stronger.
This phenomenon may not only exist in the 921st Division, but also in the 101st Division, 28th Division, and 17th Division. On the other hand, the performance of the 12th Division and the 104th Division, which are worse equipped, is much better.
The grenadiers are a treasure between the two of them. Even the guard troops are equipped with a lot of equipment.
Commander Li's guard battalion of the 104th Division has a variety of equipment. The Liao-made Thirteen Rifle is the main rifle, and the MP28 submachine gun is used by both young and old. The squad, platoon, and company commanders all wear 20-shot shell guns, but Japanese-style grenade launchers are worn by everyone.
A security guard class is a must.
It has long-range, medium-range, and short-range firepower, but it is still a hodgepodge created by China, Japan, and Germany, which always makes people feel a bit nondescript. The battlefield ammunition supply is also a hidden danger.
But what I have to admit is that this originally defensive guard battalion can be turned into an offensive field force at any time.
This is probably also a helpless move by the 22nd Army as it still lacks equipment!
Therefore, the 104th Division shined brilliantly in this round of competition and won second place in one fell swoop. A major general of the Sichuan Army present was so happy that he kept scratching his head: "You are a bitch who insists on winning and rewards!"
Really, before participating in this military competition, even this major general of the Sichuan Army, whose own family knew his own affairs, was probably prepared to place at the bottom of all four events in the branch venue.
You know, I unexpectedly got second place. Not to mention getting 5 submachine guns, the loss was also lost to the Four Lines Group.
The Si Xing Regiment was originally an infantry regiment directly under the group army. It was not shameful at all for the Sichuan Army to lose to the Sichuan Army. It was almost equivalent to two brothers from the Sichuan Army winning first place together.
Good guy, just for this seemingly fine self-comfort, Sichuan people are really among the top three in the country for their optimism!
The 12th Division of the Yunnan Army also performed well. The short grenade launcher who was only 6 meters tall relied on 4 grenades to explode only 6 meters away from the fortifications, and won the third place.
The results of the last four are a bit worrying. From fourth to last place, they belong to the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother. It is normal for three shots to miss, and it is normal for one to hit two.
Sometimes, having too good weapons and equipment is also a problem, which makes the officers and soldiers forget to use more crude weapons.
This does not mean that you must live a hard life, but you must not forget the hard times.
As for whether the Fourth Line Regiment sent out gunners belonging to the front-line infantry battalions and took advantage of the security forces of other divisions, no fool would think so.
The Four Lines Regiment has already completely eliminated grenades, and is equipped with small-caliber mortars. If it is stipulated that 60-mm mortars can be used, the performance gap may be even greater.
"Have you seen, Lao Xu, that our regiment-level security company cannot follow the example of the division or brigade headquarters? If we encountered the Japanese elite field troops that day, it would be difficult to use only submachine guns and shell guns. We would have to bite the bullet and be beaten passively. This throw
We can't waste the cartridges!" Wang Xiaoqiang whispered to Commander Xu quietly, with a bit of pride on his face.
He had specially hired 9 grenade launchers in his security company. This time he came with the brigade commander. He did not bring so many people with him, but only a security squad with all light weapons.
Otherwise, if he had hired a grenade launcher from his own security company, he would probably have achieved better results than the blushing mortar launcher from the division's security battalion.
What is foresight? This is it.
"It's true that you should hold on to the grenade, but I heard that the 60mm gun from the Four Lines Regiment has a range of up to 1,500 meters!" Captain Xu replied slowly.
"Well, it must be your brother's eyesight. Let me think about it. How can I persuade the chief to get some from Tang Dao? If I can build four or five schools, I will definitely give you one." Wang Xiaoqiang patted his thigh and was greeted by
A great inspiration.
"Why is it that I am the only one among the four or five schools?" Captain Xu was stunned.
"Because this is the face of me and the commander, you lit the fire, and if you can get one, it's because I think we are old comrades in arms for many years." Wang Xiaoqiang replied confidently.
"You, Old Wang, are really not a good person. From now on, just pretend that we don't know each other." Even though he was used to Wang Xiaoqiang's shameless attitude, Captain Xu couldn't help it anymore.
He grabbed a pack of unfinished cigarettes from Wang Xiaoqiang's hand and quickly sat farther away from him.
"Okay, okay, let's divide you into another class. Look at your stingy look. I can't overcome it with my own strength. You also have to slander the brigade commander." Wang Xiaoqiang followed suit and moved over.
"If you don't understand the words, please don't use them. I'm not a treacherous official. How can I be slandering you!" Captain Xu was very happy with this blacksmith who had a background in blacksmithing.
"No matter what you say, as we are the last one today, the two chiefs must also know the importance of small-caliber mortars. Maybe the chiefs will have a drink with Tang Dao in the evening, believe it or not?" Wang Xiaoqiang was indifferent.
The words made me feel lonely.
"I don't believe it. Today is the wedding night for Captain Tang and the reporter from Tantai!" Captain Xu shook his head.
"Otherwise, you are almost 30 and still can't find a wife. What are you going to do before the wedding night?"
"Having trouble in the bridal chamber!"
"Then it's over. I'll ask the brigade commander to take you with him to arrange a bridal chamber for Captain Tang. If he doesn't invite the brigade commander and your brother to have a drink, there's no telling when the bridal chamber will start!"
"You..." Captain Xu took a breath.
Good guy, Brigadier Cheng and he, the leader of the regiment, went to have a wedding ceremony together. This scene is not too weird even if you think about it.
Moreover, are you serious about drinking from the Tangjiu vat? It’s a 10-10 fight.
Recalling the scene of drinking with Tang Dao at the brigade headquarters more than half a year ago, Captain Xu felt a little trembling in his calves. Don't fight the Japanese and survive, but drink to death.
That's not right! Why was it that Mao was the brigade commander who took him to the bridal chamber, so why wasn't it Wang Xiaoqiang who came up with the bad idea? When Commander Xu came back to his senses and wanted to settle the score with this guy, he had already slipped away to nowhere.
Over at the main venue, the cheers were like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
It's best to compare the three physical fitness items to see who can do more.
Whether it's pull-ups, push-ups or sit-ups, the training ground facilities of the Si Xing Group are enough for seven contestants to compete together.
Something happened to the 28th Division of pull-ups. A strong Army corporal actually did 58 pull-ups in one go. Even though he was almost exhausted in the end, he still managed to do it to the full limit amidst the cheers from the surrounding mountains and tsunami.
60 pieces.
After asking, I found out that this man was originally a stonemason. After joining the army, he started out as a baggage soldier. His daily job was to carry bags or bags. Finally, because of his strength, he was selected into Brigadier Hu's guard camp as an ammunition carrier.
During daily marches, heavy machine guns carry machine gun bullets, and Brigadier Hu has a reputation as a "mobile bullet magazine."
This means that this person cannot participate in three events alone, otherwise it should be easy to get a few top three places.
In fact, this also shows the difference in the nutritional level of the officers and soldiers in various departments. The 28th Division is next to the Central Army after all. The food of the troops is not comparable to that of the Japanese army, but it is better than that of the other divisions.
The worst ones are the 921st Division and the 104th Division. Although these two divisions receive the most support from the Si Xing Tuan, they are the least popular among the Military and Political Department, and the 921st Division quickly retreated because of Anxian County and its own troops.
, the small amount of military expenditures distributed to each person will be even less.
Although they are not all malnourished and skinny, it is true that they are not very strong in body.
Therefore, in terms of pure strength, in the end, they are still not as good as the other divisions, but they didn't finish in the top three, but they didn't finish in the bottom either. They were basically fourth or fifth.
If it hadn't been for the good news coming from the branch venue and the presence of two front-line supporters, Mr. Liu, who was already serious, might have looked even more serious.
In the push-up event, Boss Cao, sent by the Four Elements Group, won the championship just as everyone imagined.
After finishing 200 push-ups, I didn't sweat profusely and almost collapse like others. Instead, I moved my arms to relax my muscles. Obviously, I still had some energy left.
The 17th Division finally excelled in the sit-ups event. A guard company second lieutenant who had just been promoted from guard squad leader won the first place.
Of course, he was promoted not because of his strong waist and abdomen, but because he was the guard squad leader who participated in blocking the Japanese infantry brigade with Long Yan.
Shaanxi Province Lengwa, who has practiced Shaanxi Province Red Boxing since he was a child, did not gain an advantage in terms of crushing, and was only ahead of a corporal who participated in the second place of the Four Lines Group by 2 points.
In addition to pull-ups, push-ups and sit-ups are all given 5 minutes. The one who does the most within the specified time is the winner.
This is also a special situation that Tang Dao wanted to avoid in future military competitions. In his memory, a conscript did a total of 4115 sit-ups in 3 hours, averaging 23 sit-ups per minute.
Therefore, given the prescribed time, the contestants were forced to lie down on the ground and rest for even a second, squeezing out the explosive power of waist and abdominal strength to the greatest extent.
The corporal of the transport battalion of the Fourth Army Regiment did 246 in five minutes. It was amazing to complete one in almost 2 seconds, but in the end the guard platoon leader of the 17th Division did 248.
Of course, the performance of other departments was not bad either. The worst one did 193. With terrifying waist and abdominal strength, he was a strong man. Even if he came in last place, he did not embarrass his superiors.
When these three events were completed, the most adrenaline-fueled unarmed combat and wooden spear stabbing finally came!
It has to be said that even in today's era where hot weapons dominate the battlefield, the most exciting thing is the close combat where fists touch flesh or swords touch blood.
Before the competition even started, the shouts of ‘The 17th Division will win!’, ‘The 921st Division is first!’ and so on, cheering for their comrades, were already shaking the whole place.
At the branch venue, those who had already watched the gun shooting and were attracted by the shocking slogans were also running towards this side.
Seeing that the emotions of the troops were so high, the organizing committee temporarily moved the competition venue to the center of the training ground so that it could be seen clearly from any direction.
The wooden sandbag obstacles originally placed on the sidelines were also moved first to avoid blocking the view.
Taking advantage of this time difference, the seven officers and soldiers participating in unarmed combat and stabbing skills each drew lots.
Because this is a fight against each other, it is impossible to engage in a big melee. You can only follow the order of the draw. The person who draws the 7th lottery will get a bye, and then form a four-person round with the three winners. After the duel, the remaining two will advance to the finals.
Fight for first place.
There is no need to compete for the remaining five rankings. The referee Tang Dao will give the rankings based on the performance on the fighting field.
Those who have a bye will definitely have the most advantage. They don’t have to put in any effort and are completely waiting for work. In this situation where the strength is almost the same, the possibility of entering the finals is higher than 90%.
But this is already the way to determine the ranking in the shortest time, not to mention that luck is a part of strength.
As a result, the most embarrassing scene occurred.
A senior soldier from the mountain infantry company who represented the Four Lines Regiment was drawn to No. 7. The division commanders were a little dumbfounded. That person was not an ordinary person, but a member of the Four Lines Regiment. The chief spearmanship instructor, Mr. Han, nodded and praised him.
The ruthless person.
In the battle of Shaiyue Valley, six Japanese soldiers were killed by the long sword of the Jiuli tribe!
The unique ferocity of ethnic minorities and the martial arts skills they learned from the birds and beasts of the mountains were once a nightmare for the Han people.
If such a player has a bye, how can he still run for first place? Why should these big guys try to compete?
"Don't tell me that Luo Cheng, the leader of the Tang Dynasty, is the most powerful general in a million-strong army. He single-handedly picked off five Japanese invaders outside the Sihang Warehouse. Why don't you take this opportunity today to let a few of us have a look?" 101
Teacher Dong from the division suddenly suggested.
"What I mean is that Commander Tang simply goes out to fight on behalf of the Four Lines Regiment and competes with the other 6 officers and soldiers. Based on their performance, you will evaluate and determine the ranking.
After all, there is no rule saying that the regiment leader cannot participate in this military competition. The regiment leader is also a soldier!"
"Hey! This is a good idea. I have admired Brother Tang for his skills for a long time." Brigadier Hu nodded repeatedly.
He knew that the Tang Sword was very powerful, otherwise he would not have led a group of people to the other side of the Yellow River and disturbed the 3rd Division. But how powerful it was, he had never seen it with his own eyes.
"Then this isn't the first place in the Four Elements Regiment?" The white-haired general said with a smile. "I don't think anyone can win a game while Captain Tang has exhausted some of his strength."
"Isn't the meaning of the sports meeting that friendship comes first and competition comes second? This time, the four-line group does not have a quota. It is enough to only take the top six. It will also save the four-line group a souvenir." Mr. Dong said with a smile.
Tang Dao
If you want to have fewer competitors, just say, am I the one who is missing a three-edged military thorn?
Tang Dao could tell that Mr. Dong, who had a kind and honest face, was also a man full of scheming. No wonder he would become a famous general in China in the future!
He didn't just want to get more submachine guns, he even had the intention to test Tang Dao's strength.
Everything must be heard and seen!
"I think it's okay, that's it!" Mr. Liu also nodded.
A bunch of big guys will definitely deceive people!
Tang Dao glanced at these people, their smiles were bright, but no one seemed to feel sorry for him, the groom who would enter the bridal chamber in six or seven hours.
Otherwise, Brigadier Kong was so loyal that he weakly helped this brother Tang Dao: "Brother Tang will have to enter the bridal chamber later! Don't let anyone get hurt. It's hard for us to explain to the Tantai reporters.
."
"Lao Kong, please keep your heart in mind. As for my brother, you see, he has been fighting hard battles with the Japanese for more than a year. Have the Japanese ever hurt him? If he competes with his own people, it is even more impossible.
" Brigadier Cheng only shook his head.
"Oh! Okay, then it's settled." Brigadier Kong nodded repeatedly.
This chorus was so clumsy that Tang Dao just wanted to roll his eyes!
What the hell, you haven’t even taken care of your wife yet! You actually have to fight a big man like Liu Jiao. What’s this?
Tang Tuanzuo suddenly became jealous!
"Okay, but change the rules. It's too troublesome to come one by one. Let the six of them come together!" ()
