Chapter 469: The Engineer Platoon Sets Out
The sergeant platoon pointed to the fragments of a large number of sappers and asked He Jinhai, who walked over and looked at the fragments on the ground. Shushu.com is the fastest updated
This trip is mainly reconnaissance, and there is no attack mission, and these things should not be used.
"Don't bring rope or nails, bring blasters and explosives, everyone."
He Jinhai was silent for a while, planning to bring explosives and blasting canisters, foreign nails and ropes are really useless, blasting canisters and explosives are lethal things, and the Japanese army can still be used in case of fighting, the engineer platoon is just this person, explosives, blasting canisters can be played into good lethal weapons in the hands of sappers, just take it.
In particular, the brigade was taught to use the blasting canister to be transformed by a steel pipe, and the engineer platoon found it particularly easy to use during training, and used it for offense, defense, and bombardment, and the soldiers with great strength could also throw the blasting canister as a large grenade, with two types of blasting canisters of long and short lengths, and the long one could blow up half of the platoon.
Bomb the civil bunker, tie it with a pole, and send it into the bunker, a tube can scrap a bunker, which is much better than a grenade, and it is difficult for the people in the fort to throw back, which can be called the favorite artifact of the veterans of the engineer platoon.
The blasting canister that Zhang Wei improvised was definitely the most popular equipment in the engineer platoon, and all the steel pipes purchased before the war were transformed.
This is just to teach the brigade to make its own blasting cylinders instead of unified specifications, batch manufacturing, and special standard blasting cylinders, which makes the veterans of the engineer platoon love it and have a lot of fun.
The nails, ropes, and other things are all left, and they can also lighten the weight of the battle.
"Yes!"
The sergeant platoon was given the order, and the people carried back the equipment they did not carry, and then went to the carriage where the baggage platoon stored the materials to bring the explosives and blasting canisters, and when it was not fighting, most of the materials, explosives, and blasting canisters of the engineer platoon were handed over to the baggage platoon to carry, and like the infantry weapons and ammunition, the engineer equipment was also divided into two supplementary levels: self-carried and baggage platoon-carried.
The blasting canister and explosives are also things that consume a lot of money, and the big head has to rely on the carriage of the baggage replatoon to pull it, this time to attack in the direction of Nanning, the rebalancing platoon brought a large amount of ammunition, and the blasting canister is the same.
However, most of them could not be taken away by just a few carriages, and the ones that were not taken away were stored in the brigade warehouse near the division headquarters together with the ammunition and materials of the brigade.
After Zhang Wei ordered the engineer platoon to attack, the baggage platoon assisted the soldiers of the engineer platoon to move down the required equipment from the hidden carriage.
"Get something!"
The soldiers of the engineer platoon with guns and other basic equipment line up to receive the blasting canisters and explosives that are allocated, and the sapper platoon, most of the people have to carry blasting canisters and explosives, but not everyone has to bring blasting canisters and explosives, and the light machine gunners and deputy shooters of each squad are exempted from the task of carrying blasting canisters because they operate light machine guns, and the rest of the people have to carry them, which is a weapon with high consumption, and the number must be guaranteed.
Even the sergeant platoon of the engineer platoon and the direct herald of the engineer platoon commander He Jinhai had to carry it on their backs.
"The first and second shifts carry blasting canisters, and the third shift carries explosives!"
He Jinhai organized the whole platoon to receive the equipment, and the soldiers lined up to receive the equipment in turn, the soldiers of the first and second squads carried blasting canisters, and the third squad carried explosives.
He Kun, the platoon commander of the baggage platoon, opened the dark green wooden quilt box, and the big box was not filled with military uniforms, but a blasting cylinder padded with waterproof oilpaper.
He Kun handed the soldiers of the engineer platoon four blasting canisters, and joked to He Jinhai, who was also firing blasting canisters next to him.
"Thank you Platoon Commander He, for helping the brothers and horses of our baggage platoon to lighten their loads, your guys in the engineer platoon are no lighter than bullets and grenades, and the horses for us are not tired."
He Jinhai smiled and shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense, the captain asked my platoon to search and investigate, maybe you will have to pull these blasters back!" ”
He Jinhai This is a joke, which means that it is not certain whether it can fight, but the expression on his face is still uncontrollable worry.
"Cheng, then bring it back or we will carry it for you." He Kun persuaded, he could see He Jinhai's nervousness, if it was an ordinary reconnaissance search, there would definitely be no need to bring so many blasting canisters, it must be that reconnaissance and search have their particularity and danger.
……
After the soldiers of the engineer platoon received the blasters and explosives they carried, the soldiers took off all the backpacks they carried during the battle, and replaced their vacant backs with the harness made of cloth by the teaching brigade.
Two engineer squads carried blasting canisters on their backs, each combatant carried four, two for each short and one for the short, and outside the two infantry squads, the platoon of the engineer platoon and the herald also carried four each, and the whole platoon carried more than 80 blasting canisters in total.
Another squad had explosives in its backpack and carried five boxes of it, and the fuse was also carried by this squad.
When it came time to receive the equipment, some of the soldiers of the baggage platoon used weeds to make camouflage and concealment on steel helmets for the soldiers of the engineer platoon.
Without nails and ropes, without a marching backpack, with guns and weapons and explosives blasting canisters, this is not a large load for a veteran of the engineer platoon.
After He Jinhai organized the soldiers to receive the equipment, He Kun, the leader of the baggage platoon, found some dry food for them from the cooking class, and everything was ready.
There was nothing to say, Zhang Wei instructed He Jinhai to be careful and then allowed him to go.
A few minutes later, the soldiers of the sapper platoon, heavily armed, loaded with loaded guns, steel helmets and concealments made of plants, circled and left the position of the teaching brigade.
The position of the teaching brigade was on the left side of the Nanbin Highway, and the engineer platoon had nothing to say, it must have been taken from the left side of the road, and after the reconnaissance, He Jinhai also had to reconnoiter on the left side, and the highway was sandwiched in the middle, and the reconnaissance effect on the left and right sides was the same.
He Jinhai and the soldiers of the engineer platoon dispersed, walked through the field, and as soon as they came out of the position, they had an opponent to face opposite the Takeda Brigade and the Teaching Brigade to confront each other.
Although the two sides did not open fire, on the surface there was a truce, and a state of confrontation was maintained, but to pass under the noses of the Japanese army, He Jinhai did not dare to slack off, and took out twelve points of caution.
The 40 men of the engineer platoon, with the battle group as a unit, hunched their waists, bypassed the position of the teaching brigade, and slowly approached the area where the Japanese position in front was located......
