The battle in Shanghai is coming to an end, and more and more troops have retreated.
The 74th Army, 71st Army, 72nd Army, 78th Army, and the 66th Army of the Guangdong Army, and the 83rd Army are all resting in Nanjing one after another.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
These troops may not be able to leave, and they may all be incorporated into the Nanjing Garrison.
The dark clouds of war are approaching, and the atmosphere in the Xiaolingwei camp of the Teaching Corps has become increasingly serious.
The ten-wheeled carts of the baggage camp were loaded with ten carts of ordnance, all pulled from the corps warehouse.
Boxes of German-made and Chinese-made 79-rifle machine gun ammunition, rows of 20-piece artillery shells, Jinling Arsenal-made 82-inch mortar shells, and dozens of Czech light machine guns.
All three regiments were supplied.
The platoon leader of the whole regiment came with his people to collect weapons, the battalion commanders and company commanders gathered together, and the regiment leader Li Xikai was going to have a small meeting.
"Nine platoons of the first battalion, Li Li, one light machine gun, 800 rounds of seventy-nine bullets, and twenty grenades.
Come on, don't wait around, just put it on and leave.
Don't take too many."
Guo Wentao, the regiment's munitions director, pulled his neck and shouted.
"One platoon of the Second Battalion, Zhang Wei, one light machine gun, 800 bullets, and 30 grenades."
Zhang Wei took He Kun and a group of people and said, "Let's go, carry them away, and feed them all to the Japanese."
"He Kun, ask each squad to come out to get ammunition and give the light machine gun to the third squad."
Second squad leader Li Dahai came out and looked at the ammunition on the ground.
"Platoon leader, why did you send out so many at once?
The Japanese have reached Nanjing.
Zhang Wei replied impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense.
I'll come sooner or later to get your ammunition."
"Oh, platoon leader, I'm not curious."
"Huh, just don't be afraid," Zhang Wei scolded him with a smile.
To say that the equipment of this teaching corps is the best in the country, let alone the German-made leather bullet belts, there are few troops in the country that can afford it.
Other adjusters still use cloth bullet belts.
Not to mention the regiment's 37mm combat artillery battery and 75mm howitzer battery.
Of course, there is still a gap compared with the Japanese army, especially in suppressing artillery.
The Teaching Corps only has one Bofors Mountain Artillery Battalion equipped with 12 Bofors Mountain Artillery.
Although it is now expanded into a regiment, it is actually still one battalion.
The whole regiment was preparing their weapons, cleaning their guns and sharpening their swords.
The bolt of the 1924 rifle was removed, the magazine was opened and gun oil was applied, the purge bar was pulled out to clean the barrel, the rifle parade hook that was not used in battle was removed, and the single-sided blued bayonet was on the whetstone.
Polished to a shiny finish.
The machine gunner held the handle and removed the barrel of the Czech light machine gun, wiping the precious receiver and the jamming port.
The deputy shooter took the quick loader and filled and oiled the empty magazine, row by row.
Bullets are fed into magazines with a capacity of 20 rounds.
Bullet breaks during war can be fatal.
Zhang Wei wiped twenty rings and maintained the telescope by himself.
It was an officer's duty, and more importantly, command. 35 The helmet was coated with mud.
Although it was an expensive German product, it was a pity that it was dirty, but life was more important.
The 82nd mortar platoon and the heavy machine gun company of the battalion in the camp were even more busy.
The pack horses had to be checked and treated to prepare fodder, and the second and fourth heavy machine guns had to prepare water sources and load ammunition bags.
These six guns during wartime The heavy machine gun is the only direct firepower in the battalion.
The special agents of each company came and went to report on the preparation status of the troops and distributed dry food and biscuits.
Battalion Commander Sun Zhongxian led the battalion attachments on inspection tours.
Sun Zhongxian, a senior from Huangpu, like Zhang Wei, stayed in the corps directly after graduation.

If you want to be a battalion commander in the corps, qualifications are only the most basic thing, but you must also have ability and military exploits.
Last year's Xi'an incident and In the Battle of Songhu, Battalion Commander Sun performed well, so Zhang Wei at least didn't have to worry about a second-rate officer who would get him killed.
"Everything at hand needs to be done neatly.
The gun needs to be cleaned and the bayonet needs to be exposed to light.
Don't get a dozen jams.
Each company and platoon should pack up their luggage first and put it on the cart of the regimental supply company.
At Xiaolingwei We can't stay for a few more days."
"Enemies are coming.
The company and platoon commanders must gather together as soon as possible to vent their anger on you."
As soon as he heard this voice, he knew that Battalion Commander Sun had a bad temper and was difficult to deal with.
The preparation of a battalion can be completed in half an hour as long as we work harder.
The four company commanders and thirteen platoon commanders of the whole battalion, together with the battalion auxiliary, all came over one after another.
Listening to the battalion commander's tone, a war was about to begin, a big war.
Sun Zhongxian looked at his company and platoon leaders: "Okay, you are all here, so we won't beat around the bush, the superiors are getting ready for a meeting."
"You have to hold a meeting to defend Nanjing.
The Japanese bastards are chasing after you, and they are about to come to Nanjing.
Nanjing is the capital of the country, and you have to fight whether you defend it or not.
In Shanghai, other troops are dead, but our corps The loss in Shanghai is not big."
"We can't run away from this job.
What's more, those grandsons outside have been saying that we have so many soldiers and weapons that we dare not risk our lives.
Now we can make some excuses without making steamed buns.
Let them see what our corps is capable of and let them know their virtues."
Machinery and full pay are not that easy to get."
"In a word, I'm afraid we will have to move out in a few days.
The position is where we have been training, the Purple Mountain area.
Tell your soldiers that they are ready to fight.
Get them all ready and disband."
There is nothing to say at this time, it is gone as quickly as it comes.
Back in the platoon, weapons and supplies had been packed away, and several squad leaders and He Kun walked over to Zhang Wei.
"Platoon leader, what's going on?"
"Platoon leader, we really need to be beaten."
"What do you think?
The Japanese are coming here biting their butts.
Get ready and get some air with your soldiers.
The platoon will train as usual tomorrow.
All classes will "We need to practice more cooperation with each other," I advise A few words: "We are digging foxholes.
These are not foxholes.
We must advance quickly.
The light machine gun teams of each squad must dig more holes and change positions immediately after firing a magazine.
Don't Targeted by the 92nd Infantry Artillery and grenade launchers.
Go down and get ready.
I'll go practice in person after get off work tomorrow.
"After saying that, Zhang Wei returned to the barracks with his twenty ring in his arms.
You have been busy all night, but the bugle will not care about your hard work yesterday.
Morning drills and foot drills are indispensable every morning.

After returning from Shanghai, I added assassination drills.
These are all required subjects.
You can only practice freely after completing the required subjects.
This is the rule.
To be honest, even a unit like the Teaching Corps has a lot of training problems.
Zhang Wei looked at the trenches and shook his head.
In the early years, the drill followed the Japanese style of digging foxholes.
After the moral training, they changed to digging foxholes.
However, many soldiers still couldn't change their old habits for many years.
They only had to be told repeatedly.
It's much better now than before.
The first platoon is the main platoon of the Fourth Company of the Second Battalion.
Good training is the greatest guarantee of combat effectiveness.
After retreating to Nanjing for rest, Zhang Wei personally supervised the training within the platoon every day.
"Hao Zhong, your squad's formation is too dense.
There are twelve people in a squad, divided into four groups.
The distance between each group is widened, but the distance between the individual soldiers in your squad is too close."
"Look at what Li Dahai's team did.
It was fast and stable.
The distance between your individual soldiers must be widened."
Hao Zhong scratched his head and said angrily: "Change it immediately, change it immediately, our soldiers are a bit stupid."
"What do you want me to do?
Fortunately, you are still a soldier.
Change it quickly."
There was a burst of laughter.
What the soldiers in the platoon liked to see most was the defeat of the squad leader.
Who told this guy to be a military student?
The training is still going on, and everyone is working extremely hard, because everyone knows that the enemy is coming.
The bloody sunset has not yet set, gunfire breaks out in the training ground, and oppressive air fills the thousand-year-old capital of Nanjing.
In November 1937, the Japanese army marched directly towards Nanjing
