"Sapper platoon" Before Zhang Wei pointed out the number of the engineer platoon, He Jinhai already had a premonition, Zhang Wei said that he would not transfer troops from the infantry squadron, except for the three infantry squadrons, the teaching brigade was the heavy fire squadron and the baggage platoon, the engineer platoon, and the only one that could be pulled up to fight could only be the engineer platoon that had not fought for a long time.
"To" Zhang Wei said in a deep voice: "If you don't transfer people from the infantry squadron, I plan to send you up, is there a problem?"
He Jinhai stood upright: "I didn't ask the captain to give an order." ” "Okay."
He Jinhai walked over, and Zheng Yiqun and Li Shaoyan also listened to Zhang Wei's specific orders.
"Now the confrontation with us is the first brigade of the 21st Wing of the Japanese army, we don't care about it, we are staring at the second batch of reinforcements behind them, your engineer platoon chooses any one road from the left and right sides of the road, bypasses these devils on the opposite side, goes backwards and forwards, and ambushes the east direction on the roadside reconnaissance road as usual, according to the report of the friendly supplementary regiment, the scale of this batch of reinforcements is not small, and it is not difficult to reconnoitre, your platoon stares wide-eyed, and quickly comes back to report after discovering the Japanese brigade."
The task of the engineer platoon is no different from the reconnaissance of the Takeda brigade, it is nothing more than a change of object; the Japanese army is walking on a road, and the soldiers of the engineer platoon are hiding in the field on the side of the road to reconnoitre, and the reconnaissance task of the Takeda brigade is mostly done by the infantry squadron temporarily dispatching elite veterans, and the second batch of reinforcements for the reconnaissance of the Japanese army this time was handed over to the engineer platoon.
The reconnaissance of the second batch of Japanese reinforcements is simple and simple, and the danger is equally dangerous, simply because the second batch of Japanese reinforcements has cars, artillery and a large number of men.
Zhang Wei received a telegram from Deng Junlin forwarded by the supplementary regiment, mentioning many times that although Zhang Wei did not trust the combat effectiveness of the two field supplementary regiments of the Fifth Army, Zhang Wei did not doubt the equipment such as automobiles and artillery, which could be quickly judged by witnessing.
With these relatively heavy equipment, as well as a large number of Japanese infantry, the observation of the enemy by the engineer platoon should be very simple, and people and vehicles can be seen from a few miles apart.
Saying that it is dangerous, what I am afraid of is that if it accidentally fires, with so many Japanese troops and artillery, He Jinhai's engineer platoon will have to be in danger.
If an infantry platoon equipped only with light weapons is discovered by a large number of Japanese infantry with artillery and automobiles, it will be very dangerous to start a big fight.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Wei entrusted this task to the engineer platoon, which has a higher quality and richer combat experience than the top soldiers of the infantry squadron, and has stronger concealment and response capabilities in battle.
"He Jinhai, have you clarified the task?"
Zhang Wei asked again.
He Jinhai replied in a firm tone: "Yes" When it was over, Zhang Wei thought of the strength of the second batch of Japanese reinforcements and the special situation, and gave He Jinhai a certain degree of autonomy.
"In an emergency, you can make your own decisions and don't worry about anything else."
After Zhang Wei finished assigning the task, He Jinhai went down to prepare, and Li Shaoyan and Zheng Yiqun also returned to their respective positions, each performing their own defense.
He Jinhai returned to the engineer platoon, gave the task and departure order to the engineer platoon, and taught the engineer platoon of the brigade to be a reserve in the final trench, without firing a shot, in the village battle, the engineer platoon acted as a counter-assault force, and fought a battle with the Japanese army, but in addition to the fire, there was no fire with the Japanese army, in the squadrons and platoons of the teaching brigade, the losses were very small, and the number of battles with the Japanese army was relatively small.
The only casualties were incurred during the counter-assault on the village, and they were not large, and there was no major loss in the strength of the engineer platoon.
The engineer platoon is much more equipped than the infantry, taking light weapons as an example, the three squads of the engineer platoon not only have a Czech-style light machine gun and a Zhongzheng rifle, which are equivalent to ordinary infantry squads, but also two authentic German-made 20 guns and two flower machine guns, plus one Chinese-made Type 27 grenadier and one 28-gun grenade.
The firepower of an infantry squad, the top half of the platoon, did not suffer any loss against the Japanese army, there were grenades at close range, machine guns and twenty rounds of greetings, and they could be smashed with grenadiers and grenades at a distance, and Czech light machine guns and Zhongzheng rifles were very useful at close range.
An infantry squad is enough for firepower at close and medium ranges.
The equipment is also first-class, among the equipment and equipment received by the teaching brigade from the armory, the decent equipment is given priority to the sapper platoon, the cowhide holster of the squad leader and deputy squad leader of the engineer platoon is all original in Germany, and the rifle is also a waist-hung cowhide bullet box instead of a domestic straddle bullet belt, and the shoes worn on the feet are a grade better than the ordinary infantry of the teaching brigade.
Such a strong firepower and equipment are not given in vain, most of the soldiers in the engineer platoon are a platoon of the original special service company of the new 22nd Division that Zhang Wei asked for from Qiu Madman, plus a small number of veterans under Zhang Wei's own command, all veterans.
The weapons are good because of their high quality, of course, their combat load is also large, because the engineer platoon has many automatic firearms, Czech, twenty shots, and flower traps are all large consumers of ammunition, and as soon as the trigger is pulled, dozens of bullets will be dried up immediately, so their individual ammunition will carry more.
The quality of the veterans is strong in all aspects, and the better the equipment they are distributed, the heavier the burden on their bodies.
In addition, everyone has to carry the basic equipment of the sapper operation, such as the sapper shovel, pickaxe and foreign nails, etc., and everyone has specific carrying equipment, some must carry a fuse, some must carry a large rope, and some must use a special backpack to carry a blasting canister.
The soldiers of the engineer platoon moved quickly, and in less than five minutes they were basically ready from a non-combat state, and the basic guns and grenades needed for the battle were neatly equipped.
Officers and soldiers check each other's equipment, and He Jinhai is checking the armed belt for a soldier.
"Platoon commander, do we have everything with us" The sergeant platoon of the engineer platoon said to He Jinhai with a twenty ring.
The platoon was followed by seven or eight sapper platoon soldiers, carrying a large pile of things.
The guy thing that the platoon said refers to the workmanship equipment of the sappers, foreign nails, hemp rope and so on, as well as explosives and blasting canisters.
It stands to reason that these things are the regular equipment of the engineer platoon, but this mission is mainly to search and investigate, and it is also a lot of burden to carry these things, and if you don't bring them, you can greatly reduce the combat load, so the platoon came to ask He Jinhai if he wanted to bring these engineer equipment.
