Chapter 807: 1942
On the one hand, it is conducting adaptive training, training the newly replenished British and American equipment, and improving the operational level of the officers and men, and on the other hand, it is also waiting for the next order.
Administrative...... Communicate...... Two ...... When these terms are combined, a very protracted situation will be formed, the second regiment of the supplementary regiment has just entered Burma, the Chinese army has just entered Burma, there are too many things to contact, involving several aspects of communication problems, the British side hopes that the Chinese army can support, but also does not want the Chinese army to go too deep into its core hinterland, so the second regiment of the supplementary regiment is on the outskirts of Lashio, staying for more than a month.
Hou Teng gave full play to the characteristics of the advance staff group, and applied to the British for a batch of ammunition on the grounds of stationed training, and the British were not stingy, agreed and approved some ammunition, and allocated 130,000 rounds of 11.43 mm submachine gun shells, 100,000 rounds of 7.7 mm rifle machine gun rounds, and more than 30,000 oval Mills grenades.
The Second Supplementary Regiment has this batch of ammunition in reserve, and the newly replenished British and American guns are more well trained, and the range of Mills grenades of the British Army has also spread from the engineer company to the whole regiment, and every soldier has learned how to throw and use British Mills grenades.
However, this month of stay is not ordinary, but a month of New Year's Eve, when the second regiment entered Burma at the end of December of the 30th year of the Republic of China, and now, it is January of the 31st year of the Republic of China, and the time has entered 1942.
……
In order not to waste time, Zhang Wei ordered the troops to renovate the garrison, and organized the officers and men of the whole regiment to cut down hundreds of trees with mountain knives and clear an empty training ground.
The training ground, which originally had limited space and could not conduct a full set of tactical training, has now been transformed by Zhang Wei in a brutal way, and is completely capable of accommodating the training of nearly 3,000 officers and men. Lashio is located in the northern border area of Myanmar, which is characterized by mountainous and dense vegetation, and the British arranged this station in the suburbs has a mediocre terrain with overgrown weeds and trees. ”
"Aim!"
On the field, Xue Rong, the leader of the spy platoon, raised the red flag and ordered loudly, and Zhang Wei raised a telescope behind him to observe the distance.
Next to the two, a soldier of the special service platoon was operating a boyins anti-tank gun, the tripod was propped up on the ground, the bottom plate was on the shoulder, the upper magazine was full of bullets, and the secondary shooter was prostrate next to the main shooter, holding several thick anti-tank rifle rounds in his hands.
One hundred and fifty meters away from the shooter, the firing target made of more than a dozen pieces of wood was tied to the ground, and the trees of the second regiment were not cut in vain, and the cut wood was either used as firewood for cooking or as training equipment, as was the case with the target of the anti-tank shooter, more than a dozen pieces of wood were fixed together, similar in size and shape to a tank, and the soldiers who set up the target were also very funny, and added a Japanese sunburst flag (the kind hung on the rifle) captured two years ago on the wood, which was used to simulate the armored vehicles of the Japanese army.
The shooter on the ground pushed the bolt of the boynes anti-tank rifle and pushed a 13.9 mm bullet.
"Open!"
The red flag fell in Xue Rong's hand, and the soldiers of the special service platoon operating the anti-tank gun pulled the trigger. With a bang, the barrel of the boyins anti-tank gun trembled, shaking the surrounding dust, and a steel-core armor-piercing bullet came out in response, accurately hitting the log target 150 meters away, and the steel-core armor-piercing bullet hit the wood and penetrated the target directly, more than a dozen logs were smashed and penetrated on the spot, sawdust and wooden blocks splashed everywhere, and the sunburst flag hanging on it was also torn apart.
"Boom"
The shooter withdrew the cartridge case, continued to load, and quickly fired a second bullet, completely destroying and scattering the target, and the 13.9 mm and point 55 caliber bullets initially showed their destructive power and lethality.
"Pretty fight!" Zhang Wei said.
"Your spies have rehearsed well, which is worthy of praise, and if you encounter the devil's tanks and armored vehicles in the future, your platoon will be the first one."
Xue Rong leaned over and said: "It's okay to practice, regiment commander, this gun looks like it's hitting, but the operation method is actually similar to the middle formal, it's all about pulling the bolt, loading the bullet, aiming and shooting, everyone will shoot a few rounds, at first, these old guns in the platoon looked at the big gun, and they all rushed to fight, but they didn't want to use it after they really finished fighting, it was too heavy, the recoil was large, and it was a way to fight with a rifle, so they didn't want to use it." ”
"I didn't plan to install it, I usually put it in the warehouse and store it, and then take it out and fight it when I want to use it, by the way, I'll give you a task, just your platoon can fight by yourself, and the infantry battalion below can't do it, let the people in your platoon go to train the infantry battalion below, and require each company to have someone who can operate anti-tank guns, this task, you have to complete it as soon as possible."
Xue Rong: "Yes! ”
Zhang Wei and Xue Rong were discussing the matter of the anti-tank gun, when suddenly, Zhang Wei's herald ran over in a hurry.
"Commander, the chief is looking for you, there is an emergency!"
"Emergency?"
Zhang Wei hurriedly ran back.
……
In the tent of the advance staff group, Hou Teng handed Zhang Wei a telegram with a serious face.
"Look at it, the Japanese have made a move, just today, the Japanese army crossed the Thai-Burmese border from Maiso, Tawok and attacked Mawlamyine in two ways, Mawlamyine is a seaside city, second only to Yangon, and the 48th Brigade of the British Army stationed there is now fighting fiercely with the Japanese army."
After reading the telegram, Zhang Wei frowned, what should come, still come, the Japanese army held back for so long, and finally couldn't help it.
"Senior, there's nothing else to say, the Japanese army will do it, our regiment will have to go south, you see, is the staff group in contact with the British army, let our regiment advance, or fight for the main force of the national army."
Hou Teng nodded and said: "The telegram has been sent, it is estimated that there will be a reply soon, you don't have to be in a hurry, the Japanese army will do it, the British will definitely want our army to reinforce, 200% of your regiment will go up, where to deploy the defense, how to arrange, it will come out soon, you might as well go and rectify the troops, as soon as there is news, I will inform you immediately." ”
Zhang Wei gave Hou Teng a standard military salute.
"Thank you, senior, I'm going to gather the troops!"
……
On January 20, 1942, the 55th Division of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army launched an attack from the Thai-Burmese border, kicking off the Burma War......
