"There are no combat defense cannons in your division?" Gao Quan was a little surprised. As far as he knew, there seemed to be four combat defense cannons in the artillery battalion of the New 501st Division.
"Didn't you transfer my artillery battalion to the gate?" Qian Sixi looked at Gao Quan in surprise. You forgot to transfer my artillery battalion. "The soldiers on the firing line all use heavy machine guns." Although it is effective to deal with tanks, it is too expensive to use heavy machine guns to hit tanks. Some troops below have begun to send soldiers to carry cluster grenades and use manual explosions because they are not enough. "
"Blow up the tank with a cluster grenade." Gao Quan's expression suddenly changed. He absolutely disapproved of this fighting method. "I'll bring you a batch of Maxim machine guns, and I'll give you 50,000 rounds of bullets. The use of cluster grenades to attack tanks must not be used until critical moments. Let the troops use heavy machine guns to attack tanks as a regular tactic to minimize the casualties of soldiers. "
"Yes, hey, Military Officer, have you ever heard of a combat anti-gun?" Qian Sixi suddenly and mysteriously told Gao Quan the name of a new type of weapon.
"Combat anti-tank gun, where did you hear about it?" Gao Quan lowered his voice immediately and stared at Qian Sixi with gleaming eyes. He had heard of anti-tank gun. The name of that thing should be anti-tank gun. The gun body is larger than the Czech light machine gun. It is said that the bullets fired can penetrate the thin armor of light tanks. In an era when anti-tank weapons are lacking, the usefulness of this weapon against armored vehicles is unquestionable.
"You follow me." Qian Sixi grinned, turned and walked towards his headquarters, with Gao Quan and Zhang Ernuo following closely behind.
The headquarters of the New 501st Division is located behind a boulder more than ten meters high. Two pieces of canvas support a large ceiling. Inside, a group of division staff and service personnel are busy. They see Commander Gao, Commander Qian, and Zhang The brigade commander came in together, and the division staff quickly stopped what they were doing and stood at attention to salute.
Gao Quan waved his hand and asked everyone to go about their business.
There is a simple camp bed in the corner of the headquarters. It seems to be for Commander Qian to rest when he is sleepy. There is a military blanket piled on the camp bed. There are bulges under the blanket, as if it is covered with something. Qian Sixi walks directly to it. In front of the camp bed, he carefully lifted up the blanket, revealing a strange-looking gun with a slender body and an arc-shaped wooden handguard on the butt.
"This is a war defense gun." Qian Sixi picked up the war defense gun on the camp bed and showed it to Gao Quan like a show-off. "This kind of gun can fire steel-core bullets, and one shot can penetrate the armor of a Japanese tank." "
"Since you have a combat defense gun, why don't you give it to soldiers to use and keep it here as a family heirloom?" Gao Quan fiddled with the giant rifle in his hand. The combat defense gun weighs more than 40 kilograms and is more than one meter long. Five, what a big guy.
"I only have this one, with only ten bullets. It was picked up by Er Nao during the battle of Guandaokou."
"Picked it up." Gao Quan looked at Zhang Ernuo, who was standing beside him without saying a word, "How did you pick it up? Did you pick it up from the hands of the Japanese?"
"I picked it up from the soldiers of the 38th Army." Zhang Ernuo smiled a little embarrassedly, "After the Japanese were bombed by our cannon, didn't the military commander order the troops to charge? There was a soldier in my brigade. He saw several [***] soldiers lying down together, and when he went over to check, he found this gun that he had never seen before. "
"Those people were from the 38th Army. It looked like they were all sacrificed. Our soldiers picked up the gun. There was someone alive among the people. The one who saw the gun was [*** ], I told him this was a combat anti-tank gun, specially designed to fight Japanese tanks, and gave him ten rounds of bullets.¡±
To put it nicely, treasures like anti-war guns cannot be given away casually. It is estimated that the boy took advantage of others¡¯ inability to resist and snatched their guns. He only grabbed ten bullets because he was too hasty, but for such details, Gao Quan didn't intend to pursue the issue. Zhang Yaoming didn't come to investigate anyway. Maybe the soldiers of the 38th Army who were robbed had all been killed.
"Okay, you'd better put this gun away carefully. I'll try to see if I can get a few more from Chief Hu." Ten bullets for a gun really won't have much effect on the battlefield. Asking for it from Hu Zongnan The possibility of seeing this kind of gun is not too big, even if Gao Quan saw this legendary new weapon with his own eyes today.
"Both of you, pay attention to controlling the casualties of the troops. Don't organize the soldiers to attack with all their strength. Your mission is to block the Japanese from here. The Secretary General, Xiao Qi and others have blocked the Japanese's escape route. Our purpose is to block these enemies one by one. The fourth division was trapped to death at Hangu Pass."
After returning from the New 501st Division, Gao Quan immediately sent a report to Commander Hu of the First War Zone. He first reported the good news that the 500th Army had besieged the 114th Division of the Japanese Army to the Hangu Pass area, and then asked the commander for two Hundreds of combat anti-guns and corresponding armor-piercing bullets.
When sending this telegram, Gao Quan also forgot that the 500th Army was not actually a unit of the First War Zone. Their organization was now in the Fifth War Zone. He was no longer a general under Commander Hu, anyway. , the 500 troops are now coming to fight in the first theater. If they lack weapons and equipment, of course they have to ask Chief Hu for help.
After the telegram was sent, there was no movement from the afternoon until dark. Gao Quan wondered if the war zone had not received it, so he simply sent a new one according to the original text.
This time it was very fast. Half an hour later, a call came back from the war zone. Commander Hu greatly appreciated the action of the 500 troops surrounding the 114th Division of the Japanese Army. He also said that he had reported it to the Military Commission and was ready to record credit for Gao Quan. He requested The Five Hundred Army made persistent efforts and strived to completely annihilate this Japanese aggressor division that had committed many evil deeds.
Regarding combat defense guns, Commander Hu also mentioned at the end of the telegram that two hundred guns were too many. The commander promised to allocate fifty guns and two thousand rounds of armor-piercing ammunition to the 500 Army, and asked the 500 Army to send people to the military supplies warehouse in the theater. collar.
Gao Quan was naturally very dissatisfied with the commander's behavior of bargaining on the spot, but he had absolutely no habit of refusing the things the commander promised to give. He selected a battalion from the baggage regiment, and Commander Gao personally wrote a letter of introduction. , stamped with the seal of the 500th Army, and took along with him Chief Hu's telegram promising fifty combat anti-guns and two thousand rounds of armor-piercing bullets, a major battalion commander from the transport camp led the team and drove the cart to the war zone. Got the gun.
In fact, Gao Quan really wronged Hu Zongnan. Even though Chief Hu is a war zone commander, he doesn¡¯t have that many spare combat guns. Although there are many treasures in the war zone arsenal, the family business in the first war zone is also big, and the troops under him are There are too many. I gave all the combat guns to the 500 Army. If several other armies came to ask for them, what would the commander give them?
Just these fifty units were specially taken care of by Chief Hu against all opinions. In the face of a lot of opposition, Chief Hu said: If any of you can surround a division of the Japanese army, I will also give you fifty. A group of senior generals such as army commanders and commanders were speechless because of a war defense gun. Only then could this telegram be sent out smoothly. Otherwise, why would Gao Quan have waited so long.
