Let the top commanders of China and Japan make their own initial judgments about their opponents.
But obviously, judging from the exchanges between the two sides with their respective subordinates, the Army Lieutenant Colonel's tactical deception was successful.
Toyoda Hide's self-righteous guesses were misguided from the beginning. Whether it was the opponent's strength or tactical intentions, they were completely different from the truth.
However, Toyoda Hide is right about one thing. If he can completely wipe out the Chinese defenders in the Sihang Warehouse, it will definitely have a devastating blow to the entire China's will to resist.
Because at this time, not only the Chinese civilians in the concession were rushing to the river, but the people in the concession who belonged to China, and media reporters from the Western world also received the news and rushed to the edge of the battlefield.
It won't be long before the people paying attention here are not just the concession, but the whole of China and even the whole world.
That is actually the real strategic intention of the Army Lieutenant Colonel. He wants to fight a defensive battle that attracts the attention of the whole world here, so that the arrogant Japanese army will be beaten to death in front of the last position in the bustling metropolis of Songhu.
.
For this reason, I do not hesitate to sacrifice myself.
On the battlefield, misguessing the strength of the opponent's troops, and then misguessing the opponent's strategic and tactical intentions, is very fatal in itself, and if the commander becomes more confident under the official flattery of his subordinates, it will be even more fatal.
Already.
Therefore, when the 36th Infantry Regiment Headquarters located 10 kilometers away sent a message to inquire about the situation here, Toyoda Hide not only requested that two additional infantry squadrons be sent to him as a backup, but also requested support from the Regiment Artillery Squadron, and planned to do it himself.
Already.
Although it was judged that there were more than a thousand Chinese soldiers hiding in the building, due to his long-term arrogance towards the Chinese army, Toyoda Hide, the infantry captain, stubbornly believed that he had five soldiers after receiving reinforcements from two infantry squadrons.
The total strength of one and a half infantry squadrons plus the heavy machine gun squadron and wing artillery squadron exceeds 1,500, and the Chinese are already looking up to them.
It’s actually normal to have such thoughts.
In terms of infantry, after deducting the more than 100 people lost yesterday and adding two infantry squadrons, the 1st Infantry Brigade will have 1,100 troops;
The heavy machine gun squadron of the infantry brigade is intact and has 12 heavy machine guns;
The artillery itself has two 92-type infantry guns and two mortars. The wing artillery squadron has four Type 41 mountain guns and two 92-type infantry guns. The total will reach 10 artillery pieces.
Such heavy firepower naturally far exceeds that of the Chinese defenders who only possess heavy machine guns, one machine gun and a few small cannons.
And what is that building? Under the fierce fire of the Empire, it will eventually become a pile of ruins.
Otherwise, the Army Lieutenant Colonel must have had mixed feelings when he said that Toyota showed off!
The Japanese Major's mind was very bright at that time. He even thought about how he would become a Lieutenant Colonel or even a Colonel after he led his troops to annihilate the defeated Chinese army and was awarded a medal by the division commander himself.
The Chinese and Japanese commanders were engaged in a secret battle from the very beginning of the battle. The machine guns and mortars of the machine gun battery were furiously beating the Japanese invaders, and Tang Dao, who was hiding on the third floor, was not idle either.
He is doing on-site teaching.
There was a soldier lying on each of the two battle positions, one was Yang Xiaoshan, and the other was Niu Er, the recruit who fought to the end and killed the crazy counterattack Japanese army on the spot.
Tang Dao took the telescope he borrowed from the battalion commander Yang Ruifu, lay down on the fighting position, and whispered softly: "Yes, shoot when you see the smoke and dust explode. Use the sound of the shells to cover yourself. If you hear the explosion,
If you fire again, the speed of sound wave transmission will cause a certain time difference, which may allow your opponent to discover you."
"Also, no matter whether the 38 rifle or the medium-sized rifle is fired, smoke will rise. It is best to choose a position with burning wood to lurk, so that the smoke from burning vegetation can confuse the opponent's observation. If you want to be a good sniper, it is best to
The important thing is not how accurate your marksmanship is to kill the enemy, but how well you hide yourself first. Only when you are alive can you kill the enemy."
Tang Dao taught these two new recruits under his command exactly the concepts from the future sniper.
Marksmanship can be practiced, but how to survive on the battlefield requires the experience of a veteran.
The two recruits had long regarded Tang Dao as a god, and silently remembered everything Tang Dao said.
Not to mention them, the veterans Youzi and Lao Hei who were lying on the other side also had their ears pricked up, for fear of missing a word. Their new platoon leader was not only a tough man with a strong front, but also a bad guy.
Ancestor level master.
This guy was busy all night last night, busy making various modifications to guns and knives, which was really an eye-opener for them, who consider themselves to be the elite of the country's military.
Especially after listening to Tang Dao's explanations, at that moment they even felt that they were simply a bumpkin.
Use dirty rags to make a cloak, and wrap an 80%-new 38 rifle with rags from the barrel to the body. It’s understandable. It’s a disguise!
As long as you can survive, even if the pit in front of you turns into a big pile, you still have to jump in, right?
Wearing a camouflage coat made of rag strips and such a rifle, it may not be easy to detect even from a distance of more than ten meters, let alone a few hundred meters away.
Think about it, if you were on the march and thought you were extremely vigilant, but you were secretly locked with a gun by such a carefully disguised guy three or four hundred meters away, your mood would definitely not be any better.
How did you die?
But this is only the most basic transformation.
Watching Tang Dao pull out the firing pin and grind it even finer, and use the bayonet to carve scratches visible to the naked eye on the copper bullet of the 6.5 Tomosaka bullet...
The function of the firing pin is to fire the primer of the bullet, but the vibration generated by the firing pin will definitely affect the shooting. Therefore, making the firing pin thinner and softer will reduce the vibration to a certain extent, which will naturally increase the accuracy.
However, such a firing pin can only be used once, which means that you only have one chance to shoot, and it is often used when a one-hit kill is required.
As for why there were unnecessary scratches on the warhead of the 6.5 Tomosaka bullet, Tang Dao just smiled and said to them: "I just increased the chance of it deforming."
The recruits probably didn't take Tang Dao's words too seriously, but the veterans felt chills running down their spines after hearing this.
The so-called increased chance of deformation naturally means that the bullet deforms after entering the human body.
What's the scariest gunshot wound? It's not one shot with two holes. As long as it doesn't hit a blood vessel, use bandages and medicine to block the bleeding point to stop the bleeding, and resist bacterial infection, you can basically survive.
But if the bullet hits hard bones and deforms and rolls over, the mortality rate can exceed 90%.
Bullets that roll and run wildly can create wounds the size of cup openings in the body. How can you stop the amount of bleeding? If this is the case, don't worry about infection or not. Just bleeding can kill you.
Undoubtedly, this modification of Tang Dao is to allow the warhead to deform without touching the bones, which also means that if it is hit by such a warhead, no matter where it is, there will be a big hole and absolute damage.
"There are no conditions. If there are conditions, the warhead can be soaked in some poisonous water." Tang Dao smiled still very casually. "Of course, conditions can be created even if there are no conditions. The water flowing out of the rotting corpse and
You can actually make do with boiled feces and urine."
The poison is really poisonous! Although they don't quite understand its principle, they always know what it means to contaminate wounds. At that moment, the soldiers in the third row could only mourn for the Japanese invaders on the opposite side. They were hit by such bullets.
Even living is a kind of pain!
Now, Tang Dao is training two of his favorite seedlings to do long-range sniping.
Only when the mortar shells explode can they shoot at the target they have locked.
As for the effect, at a distance of more than 400 meters, the human body is only about the size of an apple, so basically no one has any hope.
And because the Japanese army was far enough away, they couldn't hit accurately and wasted bullets. Therefore, the infantry in the warehouse building were basically just watching the fun. The two recruits who persisted in lying in the fighting position heard gunshots from time to time in the building.
It seemed a bit abrupt as it echoed in the room.
This also attracted many officers and soldiers who were not in combat positions to watch.
It wouldn't matter if Tang Dao, a fierce man, was there shooting targets from a distance. I guess everyone was just waiting to count their heads and shout to kneel to the boss.
But they turned out to be two new recruits, especially Niu Er, who was recruited from the Hubei Security Corps, and was known as a coward.
Half a month ago, when I went to the battlefield for the first time, I was so frightened that I peed my pants. When the Japanese army rushed over, I even dropped my gun and ran back. If it hadn't been for his old platoon leader who had died in the battle, I kicked him down and knocked him awake.
If they didn't escape from the trenches, they would definitely be punished on the spot by the supervising team.
God has blessed me that such a coward can survive to this day. I didn't expect that he would be playing long-range shooting at this moment. This is not a pig's nose sticking a green onion - just pretending!
