Sword of Death Camp

Chapter 148 Engineer Squad

Chen Kai is currently teaching all the soldiers in the Artillery Battalion, cultural lessons, mathematics lessons, and most importantly, mathematics lessons.

The training of the artillery battalion is very hard, how hard is it?

So hard that the cultural class is to relax.

Because, artillery training, don't look at it as just a gun mount, just shoot the gun out.

You need to assemble and disassemble the cannon as quickly as possible, especially the mountain cannon.

Needless to say the mortar, this one is fairly light and simple.

But Shanpao, this thing is much more complicated.

In history, not long after, the United States and the Japanese army fought. The Americans were not very good at fighting at the beginning, and their results were very unsatisfactory.

The Japanese army even went south to occupy Southeast Asia. At that time, an army called the Chinese Army in India appeared.

There are American military officers to help train and fight, especially this 75 mountain artillery.

At that time, the record for the fastest disassembly and assembly of mountain cannons by American military officers was 3 minutes and 20 seconds, while the fastest disassembly and assembly record of Chinese military officers trained at that time was 1 minute.

As a result, all Chinese military officers who were trained at that time were required to be qualified within 1 minute and 20 seconds when practicing the assembly and disassembly of the Qiwushan Cannon.

When both sides have artillery, and both sides have calculators responsible for calculating ballistics and finding enemy artillery positions, the speed at which artillery can be quickly assembled and disassembled determines the survival time of this artillery unit.

Artillery in Europe.

There is a 10-minute artillery battle rule, that is, for an artillery group, the time from launching an artillery attack to evacuating must be compressed within 10 minutes at least.

More than 10 minutes, this is enough for the opponent's calculator to calculate the ballistic trajectory and the position of the artillery, and the opponent's artillery counterattacks.

This is the experience of large-scale artillery battles in Europe.

This kind of experience is also applicable to Asia. As long as the opponent still has a gun in his hand, and the range is better than you, this rule and experience are applicable.

Especially when the Eighth Route Army is facing the Japanese army, when the equipment is extremely precious, it must follow this rule. Otherwise, are the planes, artillery and tanks of the Japanese army fake?

Therefore, in artillery training, the shorter the assembly and disassembly time of the artillery, the better, and the faster the better.

The weight of each component of this artillery is very heavy, and the assembly training and disassembly training are very energy-intensive, but they have to be practiced.

That's why it is said that the culture class of the Artillery Battalion is actually relaxing.

But the current Chen Kai is no longer the scholar he used to be. He is now covered in slivers of meat. You must know that the food reserves of the entire regiment, except for the captured ones, the hunting team has also set up a hunting team. A lot of credit.

For the hunting team, Chen Shanhe selected the ones with the best gun feel from all the soldiers, especially the ones who achieved excellent results when using rifles to attack the Japanese army after the Japanese army was vigilant against landmine tactics for more than ten days.

Chen Shanhe selected more than 50 of these people, and each of them was given a best rifle, fully equipped with 200 rounds of ammunition, and went hunting in the mountains.

Chen Shanhe's request to them is that hunting is practice with guns, and if you can shoot through the eyes, don't shoot from other places. Even if you can't hit the eyes and hit the prey with a shot, the heart is still fine.

However, the shooting distance must be 100 meters away from the prey. If it can be at a distance of 200 meters, the rifle can also be used to shoot through the eyes of the prey.

The head of the group, Chen Shanhe, will give the award, and it will be in front of the whole group.

Every hunter is followed by a random assistant, who records the shooting distance, assists in finding the prey, and finally helps each other carry the prey.

The members of the hunting team take 200 rounds of ammunition every day when they set off, and make up for it if it is not enough. The requirement is that there must be prey or large prey.

It doesn't matter how far they go.

It doesn't matter where you go.

It doesn't matter what to fight.

As long as they are not beating animals in ordinary people's homes, let them go.

If they beat all the tigers, black bears or leopards in the forest, they will be beaten, and they will all turn into meat in the end.

In fact, the hunters of the hunting team like to hunt wild boars the most.

Because wild boars live in groups, a dozen can make a litter, so they have an advantage in the final performance evaluation.

That's right!

Chen Shanhe took out so much precious ammunition to hunt for these hunting teams, in fact, it was not for hunting but for gun practice.

No one can practice marksmanship very well without practicing live ammunition. As the saying goes, the accuracy of shooting a gun is fed by ammunition.

You usually have a good distance from the gun training, and your hands are very steady, but you haven't fired a single bullet in your life, so it doesn't matter how steady your hands are.

But it is too extravagant to really let soldiers fire live ammunition on the training ground, especially for Chen Shanhe's Second Independent Regiment, which has no follow-up ammunition replenishment.

but.

If you can hunt while training marksmanship and supplement the team with meat and protein, then it should be, or normal, to lose some bullets.

Therefore, these days, in the past two months, Chen Shanhe's Second Independent Regiment not only has food and canned food seized from the Japanese army, but also large beasts brought back by the hunting team, directly feeding the whole group with a little meat up.

It is completely impossible for other units of the Eighth Route Army to be treated like this, because no one wants to use precious bullets to hunt.

Only the Second Independent Regiment persisted in this hunting habit despite Zhao Gang's reluctance.

However, Zhao Gang did not make the hunting team stop hunting too resolutely. He just felt a little bit sorry for the waste of bullets. However, he paid more attention to the accuracy of marksmanship in Kangda University, and he actually understood Chen Shanhe's purpose for doing so.

Zhao Gang sent a telegram to the brigade commander, reporting the current situation in some detail, and made a detailed report on all the people arrested and the things that were interrogated.

The length of the telegram even made the telegraph operator worry about the brigade commander's telegraph, whether the battery power is enough?
The brigade commander paid special attention to these spies, especially after hearing about the situation of these spies, he thought of how much he could get from them if he got these nine spies. Something much needed.

The cavalry company was sent out, sending horses and equipment, and sending people.

The scout and battalion commander Wang Jiudao quickly found Chen Shanhe, and in front of Chen Kai, the artillery battalion commander, and Ye Liumu, who had retired as a battalion commander and is now the hunting team leader, told a big news.

"The 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army is now disbanded in Xiangyuan County. After adding a regiment, it became the 58th Division. The commander of the 58th Division has not yet arrived at our base.

But according to the direction of their movement, the target is directly at the base of my Second Independent Regiment.

Captain, this is the last time I ate a turtle, and now I want to try it again!

One division of the Japanese army may be enough for us! "

Taiyuan.

Yoshio Shinozuka's combat command room.

A Japanese officer with the rank of Major stood in front of Yoshio Ozuka.

"Yamamoto-kun, as the first batch of officers sent by the empire to study special operations in Germany, you are an outstanding officer of this batch. I want you to evaluate, Chen Shanhe."

It turned out that the Japanese commander was Kazuki Yamamoto.

Kazuki Yamamoto was very proud. He always believed that his special operations team should choose the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and Principal Jiang in Chongqing.

Not such a little-known Chen Shanhe.

"Sorry, General!
If it is said that special operations forces need to perform strategic actions, the selected targets are also strategic targets that can affect the direction of the battle.

And this Chen Shanhe, according to the information collected by TGK, his predecessor was just a bandit leader.

Although I don't know what method he used to grow from a bandit team of dozens of people to a regiment of almost a thousand people now.

But a mere head of the regiment is not the target of the special operations team.

Moreover, special operations must be launched with intelligence and accurate intelligence.

In other words, the intelligence department is our eyes, and we are the sharpest knives in the entire Japanese Empire.

The intelligence community is responsible for seeing what we should be eradicating, and we are the ones with the knife.

If we want to target Chen Shanhe, our current intelligence is still slightly insufficient.

But judgment can still be judged.

If I have to judge this Eighth Route Army commander named Chen Shanhe, I can only say that he is a coward.

According to the information we have collected, this person has fought many times, most of which were ambushes, sneak attacks and Sap.

The method that can resist our attack is just a landmine attack. There is no eye-catching tactic, only the means used by bandits and rogues.

Therefore, although he successfully blocked the attack of the two infantry regiments of the 4th Mixed Brigade of our army before.

But this may be an unresolute attack by the head of the 4th Brigade.

If a mere regiment can stop a brigade of our Imperial Japanese Army, then Taiyuan will not be taken by our army.

If the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army were so mediocre, then Yan Xishan, the king of Shanxi, would not have been repelled by us with an army of 30 in his hands.

We have planes, tanks, and cannons. How can we be afraid and eat turtles in front of a regiment.

So, Your Excellency General, what you should consider now is to find the location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters and tell us that we will attack and capture the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

This Chen Shanhe, just a newly appointed regiment commander, is not the target of my special forces.

Please excuse me! "

Yoshio Shinozuka knew how arrogant his subordinate was, but he never expected to be so arrogant.

"Yamamoto-kun, in fact, don't think he is just a regiment commander, and he was a former bandit leader, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, but his record does not allow us to underestimate him.

From his appearance to the present, adding up his achievements one after another, he has caused us to lose a lot, at least more than 2000 soldiers of the Imperial Army of the Empire.

Although every record is inconspicuous, but the accumulation is like gathering sand to form a tower.

This person is not simple!

So Yamamoto-kun, I know that your ambition is very lofty, and I also know that the emerging concept of special operations is very useful.

It can even change the way of fighting in the future or change the world, but now, although this concept is embryonic, it is not yet mature.

You need to learn from each other's strengths and learn from each other's strengths, absorb lessons, and refine this method of warfare to the best.

Instead of arrogantly rejecting the target!

Therefore, I allow you to take the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army as the only combat target and continue to wait for the opportunity.

However, you should always pay attention to the situation of Chen Shanhe, and help me eliminate him whenever you have a chance.

However, this request is not an order. "

Yoshio Shinozuka still loves this subordinate very much. After all, although Yamamoto is very arrogant, he is indeed talented, and his concept of special operations is also in line with Yoshio Shinozuka's expectations.

"However, hasn't the place of Chen Shanhe been handed over to the 58th Division?

Does the general think that Chen Shanhe can resist the attack of a division with a regiment? "

Kazuki Yamamoto thought that he would get a flat negative answer, but he didn't expect that it was silence.

After a long time, Shinozuka Yoshio said leisurely: "It's not impossible, maybe he can really handle it?"

of course.

In fact, Shinozuka Yoshio did not question the combat effectiveness of the Japanese division, but his lack of confidence in fighting in this mountainous area.

If the Japanese army could really get rid of their dependence on logistics and launch a full-scale attack on the mountainous areas, the Eighth Route Army would not be allowed to move freely in the mountainous areas for so long.

It would not be possible to let the Eighth Route Army break through the gaps in their encirclement time after time during the sweep.

It is because of the mountainous area, high mountains, dense forests, and steep roads that it is harder for outsiders to walk than locals.

Although the Japanese army had secretly sent people into our country to draw maps as early as ten or decades ago.

But after all that's just mapping cities and cities and towns and towns.

For an army of this era, mountainous areas are still restricted areas, especially for the Japanese army.

Unless you are a native of the hometown, you are no stranger to the mountainous areas of the native town.

Otherwise, no one will play.

Especially now that there are frequent wars in the south, the Japanese army in the south has already transferred a large part of the dispatched troops in the north to the south to support the battle.

Now the north can be fully put into combat, and it has been put into combat in an organized system. In fact, it is the 58th Division that has just been reorganized and supplemented with new recruits from the old designation.

That's right!

After a fierce sweep, apart from the puppet troops who surrendered to Japan from all over the country, there are really no organized divisions that can be used by the dispatched army in the north.

If you want to fight, you can only draw out one or two regiments from each division, and then join the battle or let other divisions control their own territory and put their entire army into battle.

But this is impossible.

Sweeping was also a heavy burden for the Japanese army, otherwise they would have been able to keep sweeping, unlike what they are doing now, they would stop sweeping after a month or two.

Chen Shanhe didn't know that he almost replaced the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Daxia Bay and became Kazuki Yamamoto's special operations force target.

All he knew was that the newly formed 58th Division of the Japanese army was eyeing him.

And it came slowly. The most important thing is that the Japanese army learned the lesson of being forced by landmines last time and had nowhere to go.

It is outrageous that a mere division has only two infantry regiments with an engineering regiment.

Moreover, these engineers carried a mine detector on their backs, but there were very few people carrying mine detectors. Usually, more people held a long wooden stick in their hands, but there was a very long wooden stick on the top of the stick. A very long pointed iron braze.

Chen Shanhe, Wang Jiudao, Ye Liumu, and Chen Kai just looked at them from a distance, poking them into the ground with long iron sticks.

Those mines that could not be detected by mine detectors were dug up in thick clay pots filled with huge doses of medicine.
