Chapter 616 The Last German Armor (1)
The flares are still shining in the sky, the pile of firewood is still emitting green smoke, and when the wind blows, even the firewood pile will turn a little red, just like the charcoal fire that has been lit in the darkness.
To be honest, this firewood pile is no longer a complete firewood pile. The upper part has already collapsed and burned, and the lower part has begun to smoke due to moisture.
In the view of the Japanese army, such a pile of firewood could no longer hide people, so the Japanese army gathered their shattered officers and soldiers onto the carriage and left, leaving only dozens of corpses of Chinese officers and soldiers on the spot.
But the Japanese army didn't know that they had left four more Chinese soldiers alive.
The Japanese army's flares were no longer as frequent as before.
However, the four Chinese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive did not leave immediately, they were still waiting.
As Shang Zhen analyzed, now that the Japanese army has not stopped firing flares, there is no need for them to leave in a hurry. They can wait until the Japanese army stops firing flares and slowly move out from the fields.
Shang Zhen didn't believe it. Even if the Japanese army, which was eager to occupy Nanjing, established a blockade outside Nanjing, they would certainly be able to detect the large troops breaking out, but they might not be able to stop the four little miscellaneous fish like them that slipped through the net.
If you make him anxious, he will really do what he said before, go to any village and let go of a pig, and then they will use the pork as rations. Although he will not spread the meat while walking,
But it's always okay to carry a dozen pounds of meat on one person's back.
Now Shang Zhen is lying with Fang Zhiping, and Fang Zhiping is the only survivor of Company Commander Lu and his group.
After the Japanese troops who were cleaning the battlefield left, Shang Zhen and the others couldn't leave now, so they naturally had to communicate.
It's just that Fang Zhiping made no secret of his reaction to the conversation with the consumptive Bai Zhan, so he didn't say anything nice to Bai Zhan. When Bai Zhan wanted to say something extraneous, Shang Zhen also scolded Bai Zhan.
Shang Zhen said that Bai Zhan's words were very simple, just one sentence: "We have left Nanjing now. If you can't get used to staying with us, you can leave!"
With these words, Bai Zhan finally stopped.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, Bai Zhan was originally a thief, and his temperament and appearance are not the same as Fang Zhiping, who has a serious talk and smile. It is the instinct of a soldier and a thief in his heart.
are mutually exclusive.
Because of this, Fang Hanping took the initiative to crawl over and start a conversation with Shang Zhen.
"Are you from the 88th Division?" Shang Zhen looked at Fang Zhiping in surprise.
"The accent sounds like you are from the Northeast. Do you also know the 88th Division?" Fang Zhiping asked.
"Well, I've heard of some German mechanics." Shang Zhen responded.
In the city of Nanjing, when Shang Zhen followed the battalion commander Wen and met company commander Lu and the others, company commander Lu reported that the troops had changed their numbers, but Shang Zhen didn't pay attention at the time, so he didn't take it seriously.
"Then why aren't you wearing that German-style steel helmet?" At this time, Yu Zuolong asked curiously from the side, but then he naturally introduced, "I am an adjuster."
Technically speaking, although the Adjustment Division and the 88th Division are both closely related to the German Division and both belong to the Yuan Central Army, there are still differences after all.
After someone led the Republic of China government to nominally complete the unification of China, it was natural that it would start to reorganize the army, so there was a matter of inviting military consultants from Germany to reorganize and train the army of the Republic of China.
At that time, he wanted to build many German-style divisions, but due to different progress, the only ones that could really reach the standard of German-style divisions were three divisions plus a tax police corps.
Why is there a tax police corps here? In fact, it is not a bad idea to think of the tax police corps as someone’s uncle’s personal guard. This is another topic related to the Republic of China, so I won’t go into it.
And the 88th Division is one of these four troops. Although the weapons and equipment of the 88th Division are still far behind the real German army, it is definitely the best among the best and the most elite among the Chinese army nowadays.
of elite.
If the Central Army can be regarded as someone's imperial army, then the German weapon master can be regarded as someone's sword-wielding guard!
Shang Zhen and the others have been in Nanjing for nearly half a month. Of course, he knows something about the German armorers.
There are two brigades under one division, and two regiments under one brigade.
The troops directly under the regiment include a mortar company (six mortars), an infantry artillery company (four 75mm infantry guns), a communications company, and a special agent company.
A regiment consists of three infantry battalions.
The direct troops of a battalion also include a machine gun company (six heavy machine guns, two of which have anti-aircraft machine gun mounts), and a mortar platoon (two 82mm mortars).
There are three infantry companies under a battalion, three platoons under a company, and three squads under a platoon. Each squad has a ZB26, and the rifles are all medium-sized.
What is zb26? Shang Zhen actually asked for advice at that time. In other words, it is a Czech light machine gun!
Everyone in the German Arms Corps wears German steel helmets, and the most striking feature of German steel helmets is that they look extra safe and heavy. They have a wide rim at the back, and they look so classy!
Compared with the German-style helmet, the British Tony-style helmet, which is shallow and looks like a serving plate or dish, looks so thin and classless!
Even the German mechanic’s kettle is German style!
Moreover, the moral weapon masters are paid a full monthly salary, which is very different from other armies.
Nowadays, let alone some local miscellaneous troops, the paper establishment of the direct line of the Central Army is very different from the actual number. Officers at all levels are blatantly taking advantage of their pay.
For example, if there are 1,500 or 600 people on a group roster, the actual number may be just over 1,000. As for the extra part, it is a name, but the name is
You can ask for payment from above, and then it falls into the officer's pocket.
If some people still don’t understand this, then you can understand that the wife of a certain high-ranking official is also paid by the government, but when did she go to work? She only needs to get paid every month.
It can also be understood that a certain star in later generations claims to have 80 million fans!
But how many real fans does he have? God knows, but what is certain is that most of them are zombie fans!
The above mentioned are the Central Army or the miscellaneous army, but there is no such situation of the moral weapon masters being paid for free, and the actual number of them may even be a little more than what is on the roster.
This is undoubtedly a breath of fresh air in the military nowadays!
Precisely because of the above, any mention of the Central Army’s German Armsmen in newspapers before the Anti-Japanese War must be mentioned. The German Armsmen have become the image spokesperson of the Central Army!
At this time, Yu Zuolong, who seemed to be a level lower adjuster than the German Mechanic, once he heard that Fang Zhiping was a German Mechanic, he naturally thought of how powerful and domineering the German Mechanic looked.
German-style steel helmet, that's why he asked people why they weren't wearing a steel helmet.
But at this time, Fang Zhiping's answer made Yu Zuolong Shangzhen and the others stunned.
Chapter completed!
