The person representing the Fourth Battalion in the battle was a second lieutenant platoon leader of the 4th Battalion Artillery Company!
During the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, this was a sergeant mortarman in Lei Xiong's machine gun company.
In German weapon divisions such as 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.
Since 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 platoon leader 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 had not 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 like a toy!
Shangguanyun 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 have fist troops. For example, the First Battalion has Wei Donglai's Steel Company, the Second Battalion also has Cai Yongguan's Hardcore Company, and the Third Battalion has every force. The 7th company, which must be the sharp knife company in the battle, is the one among his four battalions that has not been able to stand out enough to be famous.
So, in this military competition, other infantry battalions could not win the championship, but only the men of his fourth battalion could not.
This group 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 Four Lines Regiment allowed him to place in the top two places. After having enough time to adjust his breathing rate, the sharpshooter fired all five grenades from the grenades and landed around the fortifications, deviating from the maximum. The distance is no more than 4 meters.
At the ultrlong 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. It 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 were within a distance of fortifications. A position of about 8 meters.
This should also have something to do with the fact that the 921 Division guard battalion is not equipped with many grenadiers. Today, with the support of the Four Lines Regiment, the guard troops of the 921 Division 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 Eightyth Army, the fear of insufficient firepower did not actually start when the Anti-Japanese War encountered the Japanese army. It may have been deeply rooted in their bones as early as seven or eight years ago during their confrontation with certain people.
Japanese-style 50mm grenade launchers were naturally regarded as treasures in the early days, but as new equipment continued to be updated and iterated, as the last trump card in the hands of the division commander, the guard battalions naturally no longer equipped them.
If the grenadiers 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, 28th, and 17th Divisions. On the other hand, the 12th and 104th Divisions, which are worse equipped, perform much better.
Grenadier soldiers are two of them, but they are precious. Even if they are a guard unit, they are equipped with a lot of equipment.
The equipment of the guard battalion of Commander Li of the 104th Division can be said to be diverse. 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, and Japanese grenade launchers are worn by everyone. A must-have for a security guard class.
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 we 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 turtle who insists on winning and rewards!"
Really, before participating in this military competition, even this major general of the Sichuan Army, who knew his own family affairs, was probably prepared to be at the bottom of all four events in the branch venue.
You know, I unexpectedly came in second place. Not to mention getting 5 submachine guns, the loss was also lost to the Four Lines Group.
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.
Hey guys, 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 grenadier, only 1.6 meters tall, relied on 4 grenade blasts only 6 meters away from the fortifications, and won the third place.
The results of the last four are a bit worrying. From the fourth to the last place, they all 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 officers and soldiers forget to use more crude weapons.
This does not mean that you must live a hard life, but that you must not forget the hard times.
As for whether the Fourth Line Regiment sent out artillerymen belonging to the front-line infantry battalion and took advantage of the guard troops 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 mortars can be used, the performance gap may be even greater.
"Have you seen, Lao Xu, that our regiment-level security company cannot learn from the division and brigade headquarters? If we encountered the Japanese elite field troops that day, it would be difficult to use 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 Captain Xu quietly, with a bit of pride on his face.
He had specially hired 9 grenadiers in his guard company. This time he came with the brigade commander. He didn't bring so many people with him, so he only brought a guard 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 to hold on to the grenade, but I heard that the 60-meter gun from the Fourth Army Regiment can shoot 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 it to you." 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 chief, you lit the fire. If you can get one, it's because 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, we will act as if we don't know each other." Even though he was used to Wang Xiaoqiang's shameless attitude, Captain Xu couldn't help it now.
Took 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 one. Look at your stingy look. I can't defeat him by myself. Your brother also has 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 in last place today, the two chiefs must also know the importance of small-caliber mortars. Maybe the chiefs will have a drink with Tang Dao at night. Do you 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.
“Other than you, brother, are almost 30 and still can't find a wife, what are you going to do before the wedding night?”
“Let's make trouble in the wedding room!”
“Then it's over. I'll encourage the brigade commander to take you with him to arrange a wedding for Captain Tang. If he doesn't invite the brigade commander and your brother to have a drink, there's no telling when the wedding will begin!”
"You..." Captain Xu took a breath.
Hello guys, Brigadier Cheng and his regiment leader went to the wedding ceremony together. Don't think about the scene that's too weird.
Moreover, are you serious about drinking from Tangjiu vat? That's a one versus ten situation.
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.
its not right! Why was Mao the brigade commander taking him to the bridal chamber? Why wasn't it Wang Xiaoqiang who made the bad idea? By the time Captain Xu, who had come back to his senses, wanted to settle the score with this guy, he had already slipped away to someone unknown.
The cheers from the main venue were like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. The three physical fitness events are best compared 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 went wrong in 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 pcs.
When I asked about it, I found out that this man was originally a stonemason. After joining the army, he started 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.
In daily marches, heavy machine guns carry machine gun bullets. Brigadier Hu has a reputation as a "mobile bullet depot".
This means that this person cannot participate in three events alone, otherwise it should be easy to get a few top three.
This actually 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 several 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 is even less.
Although they are not all malnourished and sallow, it is true that they are not all very strong.
So, 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 weren't for the good news coming from the branch venue and the presence of two front-line facades, Mr. Liu, who was already serious, might have looked even more serious.
In the push-up event, Boss Cao sent by the Si Xing Group won the first prize in one fell swoop, 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 did well 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 been practicing Shaanxi Province Red Boxing since he was a child, did not gain an advantage in crushing him. He was only two ahead of the second-placed corporal from the Four Lines Group.
Except for pull-ups, 5 minutes are given for push-ups and sit-ups. The one who does the most within the prescribed time is the winner.
This is also a special situation that Tang Dao wanted to avoid in the future military competition. In his memory, a conscript did a total of 4115 sit-ups in 3 hours, an average of 23 sit-ups per minute.
So, given the prescribed time, the contestants are forced to lie down on the ground and have no chance to rest for a second, maximizing the explosive power of waist and abdominal strength.
The corporal of the fourth line of the baggage battalion did 246 in five minutes. It was amazing to complete one in almost 1.2 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. The worst one did 193. With terrifying waist and abdominal strength, they are all strong men. Even if they were ranked last, they did not embarrass their superiors.
After these three events were compared, the most adrenaline-fueled unarmed combat and wooden spear stabbing finally came!
I have to say 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.
The competition hasn't even started yet, '17th Division is bound to win! ', '921 Division is first! ' The sound of cheering for his comrades was already shaking the whole place.
At the sub-venue, those who had watched the gun shooting and were attracted by the shocking slogans were also running towards this side.
Seeing that the emotions of the armies 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 that were 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.
As for the remaining five rankings, there is no need to compete anymore. Let the referee Tang Dao give the rankings based on the performance on the fighting field.
The one with a bye definitely has the most advantage, as he doesn't have to put in any effort and can just sit back and relax. 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 in the battle was drawn No. 7. The division commanders were a little dumbfounded. That person was not an ordinary person, but Mr. Han, the chief fighting and spearmanship instructor of the Four Lines Regiment. They all nodded and praised him. ruthless person.
In the battle of Shaiyue Valley, six Japanese soldiers were killed by the Jiuli tribe's long sword!
The unique ferocity of the 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.
With such a bye, how can he still be ranked first? So why are you guys trying to compete?
"Don't tell me that Luo Cheng, the leader of 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 to let us have a look today?" 101 Teacher Dong of 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 Tang Dao 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 number one in the Four Elements Group?" the white-haired general said with a smile. "I don't think anyone can win a game while Captain Tang is exhausted."
"The meaning of the sports meeting is that friendship comes first, and competition comes second! The Four Lines Group does not have a quota this time. It is enough to only take the top six. It will also help the Four Lines Group save 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 thorn?
Tang Dao could tell that Mr. Dong, who had a kind-hearted face, was also a man full of scheming. No wonder he would become a famous general in China in the future!
He not only wanted 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!” Master Liu also nodded.
A group of big guys will indeed 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 had to show his loyalty and help this brother Tang Dao weakly: "Brother Tang will have to enter the bridal chamber later! Don't let anyone get hurt. It's hard for us to deal with 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 shook his head.
"Oh! Okay, that's it." Brigadier Kong nodded repeatedly.
This chorus was so clumsy that Tang Dao just wanted to roll his eyes!
What the hell, I haven't even taken care of my wife yet! He actually had to fight a big man with six swords. What is 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!" (End of Chapter)
