Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 182 Seeing the old rival again

As several flashlights from the Japanese army shone over, the young sergeant's face became a little stiff in the dazzling light.

It's not because of the thick wooden horses in the middle of the road. For such an obstacle, for the truck he is driving, which weighs 2 tons and can tow 3 tons of heavy guns, it can be crushed with a kick of the accelerator.

However, there are field fortifications made of sandbags piled up on both sides of the road. Two heavy machine guns and two light machine guns are clamping down on the dilapidated road, one on the left and one on the right. Ten rifles poked their heads out and aimed at the convoy.

Gu Xishui did not expect that for a checkpoint for inspection, the Japanese army deployed a small team of troops, and even used heavy machine guns.

Is the strength of the Japanese army already so rich?Tang Dao's deep gaze also flickered slightly.

However, when Tang Dao lightly waved his hand to signal to stop, Gu Xishui took a deep breath and tried to calm down his uneasiness, and his somewhat stiff face gradually returned to normal.

A second lieutenant came up to meet him. He glanced at the huge convoy that was slowly stopping, touched the pistol case on his waist, and loudly announced the night password. "Shenzhou!"

"Gongrong!" Tang Dao, who also replied the password with proficient Japanese, completely let go of his guard, waved his hand to the rear, and ran out a few Japanese soldiers in small steps, but it meant to go to the rear car to check.

Tang Dao, who wore the collar badge of the second lieutenant of the Japanese army, got out of the car with a smile on his face, and gave this man a pack of Japanese cigarettes and two cans of canned meat.

Even though they are all second lieutenants, there is a natural level difference between the logistics team and the combat unit, but the advantage of the logistics team is that they get a little more supplies near the water. Facing the initiative of his colleagues, the second lieutenant of the Japanese army who was in charge of inspecting the convoy took over the supplies Afterwards, there was a little more smile on his face

Reporting serial numbers to each other and inspecting the military orders issued by the division headquarters or the regiment headquarters are the daily regulations in charge of guarding checkpoints.

These, Tang Dao found from several survivors and from the Japanese squad leader who was stabbed to death by Leng Feng.

Perhaps the only flaw is that Tang Dao is different from most of the Japanese soldiers in height, which makes Tang Dao quite distressed, but there is no way around it. If you want to be in good shape but also want to be short like the islanders, that’s really true. It's too hard.

However, the second lieutenant of the Japanese army, who was half a head shorter than Tang Dao, quickly gave up this doubt, and he smiled.

He found the answer to why the tall second lieutenant of the transportation team in front of him didn't go to the combat unit, but was willing to stay in the transportation team that was not very capable of meritorious service.

The reason is very simple. The second lieutenant of the transportation team with a pure Kyoto accent has basically explained his origin. He should be from a small noble family in Kyoto. He wants to come to the army to be gilded, but he is afraid of dying in battle. The danger is not great. The convoy is naturally the best choice.

Of course, this is not the point of his smile. The point is that they are fellow villagers, both from Kyoto, and they feel psychologically more intimate when they meet in a foreign country.

Especially after the big defeat, the emotions are at their lowest ebb.

When a man is sad, he also needs comfort from his hometown!
Tang Dao also smiled brightly, is it true that enemies don't get together!I didn't expect to meet my old opponent here.

A majestic main infantry regiment came to serve as sentry.

Yes, apart from the unlucky 36th Infantry Regiment, who else can be called an old opponent by Tang Dao?
As an infantry regiment that lost its military chief and only had a major to support its appearance, it was not sent to the mines collectively to dig. In fact, it was not Iwane Matsui who was a kind-hearted army general, but the transport ship from China. Still at sea for a while.

Otherwise, what chance do these unlucky guys who are almost doomed to be kicked out of the army sequence have to stay in the Songhu Theater?
The main force of the 3rd Division is already on the Huxi front line ten kilometers away, but the original four infantry regiments have become three. I don't want to see them, so I just dumped them to the Songhu Dispatch Army Headquarters. If you want to recycle the waste, it is an excellent choice to send them to various traffic arteries in the rear to guard the checkpoints.

There are a total of eight such checkpoints from Zhabei to the front line where the Chinese army confronts Huxi, which is just enough for the remaining 36 people of the 24th Infantry Regiment to guard [-] hours a day.

This is also the main reason why Gu Xishui was amazed that the Japanese army could have an infantry squad and two heavy machine guns stationed at a checkpoint.

Although many of the backbone of the 36th Infantry Regiment were buried in the ruins by Tang Dao using an exquisite building blast in the battle of the warehouse, the combat effectiveness of the infantry was several grades worse than before, but their heavy equipment did not lose much. Three The three heavy machine gun squadrons left by the infantry brigade had as many as twenty heavy machine guns.

As the army major who commanded the remnant army, although Toyoda Hideo knew that he and others had been abandoned by the division headquarters and the dispatched army headquarters, but before the final result came out, who wouldn't want to make a last-ditch effort?
Hideyoshi Toyota is really working hard. Anyway, now he is the boss. He simply broke up all the heavy machine gun squadrons and organized them into 8 checkpoints under his jurisdiction. Each checkpoint stationed an infantry squad, and each squad was stationed for 12 hours. Two shifts a day .

As for the artillery squadron directly under the regiment, those idiots didn't play a big role in the battle of the Sixing Warehouse at all, which caused the Chinese hiding in it to beat the infantry so miserably. He didn't let these artillerymen accompany those steel bumps to eat free food in the garrison, and they all added to the infantry squad with insufficient troops, and they carried rifles as sentries, which was also his punishment for these bastards.

This move is to weaken the combat effectiveness of the 36th Infantry Regiment to the extreme, but they are located in the rear of the Huxi front line. Even if the front positions of the opposing sides are tens of kilometers long, no one will believe that there will be a large Chinese army Infiltrate such a deep lot for a sneak attack.

In that case, the 200,000 troops on the front line in Huxi only need to mobilize their forces a little bit to block the incoming Chinese in their pockets.

What's more, does the Chinese army, which has already completely failed in Songhu City, still have the courage?There is no such possibility.

No matter how he lost his confidence in the Battle of Sixing Warehouse, Major Hidetoyoda still has this basic judgment.

Moreover, he worked very hard. After receiving the military order to establish checkpoints in the past two days, he almost slept less than 8 hours in total, and all the rest of the time was either on duty at the checkpoints or on the way to various checkpoints.

Those who work hard will eventually be seen by the bosses. This is the idea of ​​the Toyota Show.

Just like now, when Tang Dao exchanged a few words with the second lieutenant of the 'old countryman', and said to each other, they put down half of their cigarette butts and got into the car. They passed each other.

Hideo Toyoda, who was sitting in the car, frowned and looked at the young second lieutenant in the car window who greeted him with a smile, and then covered his mouth and nose with the dust rolled up by the wheels.

"Damn it, is this the attitude towards an army major?" After the convoy passed by, Toyoda cursed through gritted teeth.

The Japanese infantry in charge of the escort did not respond.

The sky is dark, who can see that you are the Army Major?More importantly, our 36th Infantry Regiment has become a big joke among the entire dispatched army, so please stop humiliating yourself, Major, okay?
This is not the self-pity of a few Japanese infantrymen.

In the past two days when the checkpoint was established, they had been stared at. The infantry, artillery, and even engineers and transport soldiers who passed by the checkpoint heard that they were the 36th Infantry Regiment, and it was common for them to directly start cynicism.

I'm afraid that when the Major Hideo Toyoda was around, he was still a little bit sympathetic, trying to show contemptuous glances instead of directly speaking to the Army Major.

That's why this army major is still treating himself like a green onion at the moment.
