Start with Four Lines Warehouse

Chapter 2
"Besides, we hot-blooded men, how can we watch the Japanese invaders gallop across the land of China, as if we were in the land of no one!"

"So, Commander Xie. I'm here to kill the enemy and serve the country, so as to raise blood! Give the little devils a little color and let them know that our land will not allow them to be presumptuous!" Ma Chao said sternly.

"Okay, that's a good point. You've said what we're waiting for!" Battalion Commander Yang Ruifu responded excitedly.

"Cough, cough, cough. But, Ma Chao, do you know what the current situation is like between the enemy and us?" Maybe Xie Jinyuan accidentally choked on a cigarette, causing him to cough a few times before saying.

"This, I really don't know, please ask Captain Xie to clarify." Although Ma Chao knew it in his heart, he couldn't say it clearly at this time.

"Battalion Commander Yang, tell me." After Xie Jinyuan ordered, he took another big puff of cigarettes.

"Up to now, there are 414 officers and soldiers in our department from the head down, each equipped with a Hanyang-made rifle, 300 rounds of ammunition, two boxes of grenades, a German-made M1935 helmet, and a pair of gas masks. There are also Czech 26 Type light machine guns, 4 water-cooled Maxim heavy machine guns, and 2 German Type 37 anti-aircraft guns on the balcony." Yang Ruifu said slowly after pondering.

"And the order I received was that we need to stay here for seven days to cover the retreat of the large troops. This means that it is very likely that we will all die here." Xie Jinyuan said with a serious stare at Ma Chao.

When Yang Ruifu heard this, he pursed his lips slightly, and then stared at Ma Chao quietly.

"Head Xie, I think you are too pessimistic. What we have to do now is to defend here for seven days. Although it is difficult, it is not so unacceptable. At least, I still have a little bit of chú ráo See, you two listen to how it goes." Ma Zhen pretended to force the prisoner to go online.

"Please tell me." Xie Jinyuan and Yang Ruifu said after looking at each other.

"First of all, as far as passive defense is concerned, there is no problem at all in my opinion. Commander Xie is an expert." Ma Chao said slowly.

The Sixing Warehouse is a six-storey building with a reinforced concrete structure, covering an area of ​​0.3 hectares, with a construction area of ​​2 square meters, a house width of 64 meters, a depth of 54 meters, and a height of 25 meters.Founded in 1931, this warehouse was the tallest and largest building in Zhabei area at that time.It was originally the joint warehouse of the Continental Bank and the North Four Banks (Kincheng Bank, Central South Bank, Continental Bank and Salt Bank), and the wall thickness is enough to withstand the bombardment of Japanese light artillery.

At this time, Xie Jinyuan ordered the soldiers to seal the first floor and half of all doors and windows above the second floor.And placed four Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns on the third and fourth floors facing the street as fire support points.The remaining [-] or so light machine guns are also ready behind various fortifications.

And two 37 anti-aircraft guns were placed on the roof for emptying.

"Huh? Is it passive defense? Isn't defense like this? The observation post is in front and the position is behind. We will fight when he comes, and rest if he doesn't come. At most, we will arrange some landmines or something. Could it be possible, Brother Ma Can you still show off this defense?" After hearing Ma Chao's evaluation of this defense, Yang Ruifu, who was a bit impatient, felt uncomfortable, so he replied with a gun and a stick.After all, I have my pants off and you just show me this?

"The most important purpose of defensive warfare and blocking warfare is not how much damage we have caused to the enemy, but how long we have stopped the enemy to facilitate the retreat of my other friendly troops, do you think so?"

Xie Jinyuan and Yang Ruifu nodded thoughtfully.

"So, we need to modify it to make it more aggressive! The first step is to disperse the manpower on the premise of making a good retreat route, occupy the surrounding commanding heights, and force the little devil to follow us in the same building. The competition between rooms, exchange space for time, in order to slow down their marching speed.

The second step is to destroy the little devil's heavy firepower, armored vehicles, tanks and other weapons and equipment!Forcing them to fight with us with their lives! "Ma Chao expressed his thoughts.

"Are you kidding, ah! Can you make the little devil listen to you? He will be there where you want him to be? Are you not dreaming?" Yang Ruifu felt that Ma Chao was a master with high eyesight and low hands at the moment.

"Don't worry, Battalion Commander Yang, look, the National Day Road in front of us is XZ Road to the right, Manzhou Road to the left, and there is a building directly in front of it, which means that the army of the little devil can only pass through These two intersections entered the battlefield. At the beginning, the little devil would never have thought that we still have a lone army staying here, so there will not be many people coming over. I estimate that there will be one or two teams at most. Arrange an ambush with all the light machine guns at these two intersections. We can all stay there anyway. Then, we should have ten to 15 minutes to clean up the battlefield and take people back. What do you think? Battalion Commander Yang !” Ma Chao said to them standing at the window and pointing down.

"Gao, take a bite while he's not paying attention, and run away after eating the meat, without affecting yourself, this business is well done. Commander Ma, brother, I admire you." Yang Ruifu's face was full of displeasure at first, and then his complexion gradually changed. The smile at the end, the look of his eyes shining is comparable to Sichuan's face-changing.

"If you have any other ideas, let's say them together, Ma Chao." Xie Jinyuan was also urging at this moment.

"Okay, let's continue. After our army ambushed the little devils, in order to prevent them from being ambushed again, they will definitely occupy these abandoned buildings. So, at this time, before the ambushes in the building withdraw, we Plant some bombs inside, and then send a group of them back to their hometown."

"Okay, that's right, that's what you should do. It seems that brother is really versatile in civil and military affairs! Haha." Xie Jinyuan was quite happy at this moment.

Yang Ruifu also smiled and nodded repeatedly, but suddenly thought of something, and his face was a little ugly.

"Well, that's all reinforced concrete ground, so it's too late to excavate with the tools we have now." Yang Ruifu said harshly, and it was already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Don't worry, I've already thought of this. Look what it is." Ma Chao took out a roll of silk thread from his backpack behind him.

"Silk. What's the use of this?" Yang Ruifu asked strangely.

"Give me a grenade, please." Ma Chao said to Yang Ruifu.

Yang Ruifu gave Ma Chao the grenade hanging on his chest without hesitation.

"German M24 grenade, good stuff." Ma Chao praised.

The total length is 365 mm, the fuze burns for 5 seconds, and the explosive part is loaded with an M170 grenade with up to 24 grams of TNT explosives. As far as the current Asian battlefield is concerned, it is the most suitable battlefield grenade.The reason is simple. The current Chinese army is seriously short of heavy firepower, such as heavy machine guns, mortars and other weapons and equipment.Therefore, grenades that are easy to carry and powerful have become one of the few options at this time.

The advantage over egg grenades is that it can be used in clusters.It is to bundle seven grenades together for use.It can effectively destroy Japanese armored vehicles and tanks.Moreover, it also had a great destructive effect on the fortifications of the Japanese army.

Ma Chao took the grenade and tied the silk thread to the ring of the grenade.Then put the grenade in the corner and fix it.Then, slowly fix the fishing line at a height of 10 cm from the ground and straighten it.

This is Xie Jinyuan and Yang Ruifu already understood his thoughts, and their faces were full of excitement.

Under the dim lights in the house, the almost transparent fishing line could not be found unless you search carefully.If you put yourself in the same way as others, the little devil will not know even if he doesn't know.

After Ma Chao saw that the two had understood, he put away the grenade. "What do you guys think of this bomb?"

"Haha, the little devil is going to hit the street this time." Excited, Xie Jinyuan just rushed out of the street.

Yang Ruifu nodded excitedly.

"Don't worry, there are more." As he spoke, he took out another bullet casing from a heavy machine gun from his pocket. "Two, look at what this is!"

"Oh, my brother, don't be arrogant, just say something." Yang Ruifu was impatient and urged him directly.

When Ma Chao saw this, he didn't say much, and slowly put an ordinary bullet in it with the bullet point upwards.Then he put it lightly on the ground.And handed Xie Jinyuan a piece of rough wood, and motioned to knock it on.

Xie Jinyuan was also unambiguous, and directly swung the wooden stick round and smashed it up.Only a "beep" was heard, and half of the top of the wood was missing.

"Boom! Who shot!" Almost at the moment the gunshot rang out, the door was kicked open.The three people present did not act aggressively, but the soldiers who were building fortifications outside the door directly kicked the door, picked up their guns and rushed in.

"What are you yelling about! What are you yelling about! Put down the gun! What should you do?" Yang Ruifu saw this, and calmed down the soldiers before Xie Jinyuan could speak!

"Brother is a great talent!" Xie Jinyuan was already convinced at this time.He has already seen that this small device is not killing the enemy but hurting the enemy.Just imagine, when the little devil stepped on it when he was attacking, he would get a hole in his foot, lose a foot, or die directly.

You know, to some extent, wounded soldiers are more troublesome than dead soldiers.If you are dead, just dig a pit and bury it, but if you are injured, you still need protection, transportation, treatment, etc.Moreover, soldiers who lost half of their feet basically had no choice but to retire.For no reason, it is enough to drag down the marching speed.
