Chapter 15 Team

Toyota Hide ignored the name of Sihang Warehouse, which was fatal.

Because the Sihang Warehouse got its name because it was originally used as four bank vaults when it was first built.

A house used to store banknotes and gold bricks is naturally very strong.

The Sihang Warehouse, which was built entirely of reinforced concrete, had an outer wall thickness of an astonishing 0.6 meters. Not to mention that the 92-type infantry guns equipped by the infantry battalion under Toyota Hide's command could not deal with such a wall, even if the 75-caliber field guns equipped by the 3rd Division Artillery Regiment were dragged over, they could only blast a hole in the wall.

To deal with such a building, in addition to the 200-caliber naval guns equipped by the cruisers still staying at sea, the 200-500-pound aerial bombs were used.

However, the Sihang Warehouse was only 30 meters away from the concessions of the Western world. Not to mention a major officer like Toyoda Hide, even the highest commander of the Japanese army in the Songhu War Zone, Matsui Iwane, did not have the courage to order the warships to fire.

In addition, there were more than a hundred people in the Sihang Warehouse as Toyota Hide imagined. The strength of an infantry battalion, relying on solid fortifications, was enough to make Toyota Hide's 1st Infantry Battalion of more than a thousand people and horses hit their heads and bleed in front of it.

However, when the Japanese major was overwhelmed by victory, he was stabbed by the twenty Japanese soldiers killed by Tang Dao again. He completely abandoned the calmness that a battalion-level commander should have, and personally ordered the most elite infantry squadron under his command to be sent to the butcher knife that the Chinese army had already laid.

The Japanese army began to collect ammunition supplies in their simple positions, preparing to avenge their compatriots.

And one thousand meters away, Tang Dao also met his new comrades under the introduction of Shangguan Yun.

As the spearhead company of the 524th Regiment, the first company suffered more than 60% losses in two months of front-line combat, and experienced four replenishments in total. Including Shangguan Yun, there are now 121 people left.

As the most basic combat unit of the infantry division, the infantry company was equipped with no other arms except two medical personnel and six signalmen, just three infantry platoons.

Originally, each infantry platoon had 46 people, including a platoon leader, a machine gunner, an assistant gunner and an ammunition handler, a total of 6 people divided into two light machine gun groups, and the other 39 people were divided into three infantry squads. Each infantry squad had 13 people. The platoon leader and squad leader were equipped with Mauser pistols, and the rest of the infantry squads were all equipped with rifles.

An infantry company could have 6 light machine guns and 12 Mauser pistols. In fact, in terms of light firepower, it was equal to or even slightly stronger than a Japanese infantry squadron. The only thing that might be lacking was the grenade launcher, which could only be supplemented by the two mortars of the machine gun company.

Although it has been supplemented, there are still vacancies. The third platoon that Tang Dao is about to take office now has only 37 people, including him as the acting platoon leader. The two light machine guns are still there, but the combination of the main shooter, the deputy shooter and the ammunition handler has become the main and deputy shooter, so each infantry squad has 11 people at most.

The other two platoon leaders, one named Zhou and the other named Wu, are very enthusiastic about the arrival of Tang Dao, the new colleague. After all, Tang Dao has made a lot of moves and took 15 Japanese heads in just half an hour.

Only a fool would be unwilling to have such a strong man as his companion.

Perhaps, the only people who are unwilling are some of the people who are already considered as the third platoon under Tang Dao. After all, if Tang Dao hadn't come, it would probably be one of them who is standing in front of the 36 people and giving a lecture.

Tang Dao's old acquaintance, the old soldier Youzi, is also there. Looking at Private Yang Xiaoshan and nine other people standing beside him, it is obvious that he is still the leader.

Looking at the sergeant next to the old soldier, who had a slightly big head, a very loose standing posture, and a half-burned cigarette in the corner of his mouth, Tang Dao naturally knew what was going on.

He glanced at Shangguan Yun from the corner of his eye and found that after Shangguan Yun introduced himself, he turned a blind eye to the scene in front of him. Obviously, Shangguan Yun did not intend to use the authority of the company commander to support him, but let him solve it himself.

This is inevitable. Tang Dao has strong individual capabilities and his tactics of dark night raids are also amazing, but he may not be able to be a good platoon leader. Shangguan Yun has confidence in him, but Tang Dao must win the hearts of his subordinates, including the most senior squad leader who is now dissatisfied with him.

Tang Dao did not speak, but his eyes slowly slid across the faces of more than 30 soldiers in front of him, and then his eyes stayed on the old soldier with the loosest standing posture, his eyes like a knife.

The old soldier looked uncomfortable, stood up a little straight, and spit out the cigarette. Tang Dao then looked away and said in a low voice with a hint of metal: "Brothers, Tang Dao is appointed by the deputy regiment commander to temporarily take over the position of the third platoon leader of the 1st company of the 1st battalion of the 524th regiment. From today on, we are brothers who eat from the same pot.

Tang Dao does not know any lofty words, nor can he promise anything to everyone. Money, I am now more clean than my face, and I can't be promoted to a small platoon leader, but I can guarantee that if you follow me to fight the devils, you will definitely kill more than other infantry platoons!"

What a boast! The officers and soldiers of the first and second rows who were quietly observing this side were obviously a little unhappy. If it weren't for Shangguan Yun, some of them would probably start to scold.

Even the veteran soldier in the third row where Tang Dao belonged couldn't help but move his lips to make a noise, but Tang Dao looked around and grinned slightly: "After all, I have already accumulated fifteen Japanese heads for the third row, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.

Everyone remembered now that what the strong man who harvested the Japanese heads said was right. He was the leader of the third platoon and was willing to give military merits. From now on, the third platoon will have 15 more heads.

Most of the soldiers in the third platoon were happy.

What is a Japanese head? For these ordinary soldiers, it is a military merit and a dollar. Before going to the front line, the regiment had announced that one Japanese head would be five dollars, calculated at the platoon level.

No one was worried that the regiment would not admit it. It turned out that the military judges in the regiment would report the number of Japanese killed by each company and platoon. Even if they died in battle, the money would be sent to their families. And the past half month was more direct. The military judges directly carried silver boxes to supervise the battle in the back. After the battle was over, they counted and distributed the silver dollars. After these two months, everyone had more or less several dollars in their pockets.

For those who died, although the money was taken back or collected by fellow villagers, as long as the regiment was still there, there was still hope that it could be sent home; and if they survived, they could naturally send money back home, which could at least guarantee the living expenses of the whole family for half a year.

When the new platoon leader took office, he gave everyone a total of 75 yuan for the military merit of 15 heads, which was almost 2 yuan per head. How could these low-level officers and soldiers not be happy!

"Sir, no more words, even if it means going through fire and water, all the brothers in my third squad will go with you." As the leader of the third squad, the old soldier Youzi was the first to stand up and support Tang Dao.

Calling him the commander instead of the platoon leader directly, the old soldier Youzi's attitude naturally showed that he had already clung to Tang Dao's thigh.

As a witness who saw how Tang Dao killed 15 devils with his own eyes, Li Jiujin knew best how powerful this young man was. He didn't care how many military merits or how much money he had, he just wanted to survive in this war, and following a strong man like Tang Dao was the guarantee of survival.

Liu Datou, who was still upset because Tang Dao had taken his position as platoon leader, had long been classified as an idiot by Li Jiujin. Tang Dao not only had skills but was also appreciated by his superiors, but he still wanted to compete with him. He really had no sense at all.

"Platoon Leader Tang, you are so loyal. I, Lao Hei, will take the brothers of the second squad to fight you!" A black-faced sergeant also strode out.

Although he was a little reserved, he was also firm.

Only the last sergeant with a slightly bigger name had not expressed his position, but he was still smart. Seeing that his two colleagues had already surrendered without any integrity, he could only follow him and salute Tang Dao: "Platoon Leader Tang, Liu Datou and the brothers of the first squad only want to dip your horse meat!"

What?

Fortunately, Tang Dao reacted quickly and quickly understood another way of saying "follow the leader".

Although Shangguan Yun on the side looked normal, he was very happy in his heart.

He was really proud of his unique vision to grab the treasure Tang Dao first. Being strong and being able to lead troops are two different things, and Tang Dao's words just now were quite good.

First, he said that he was appointed by the highest commander here, and then brought his military merits to the platoon. With the stick and the carrot, it can be said that Tang Dao performed much better than he expected.

"Fuck, Liu Datou, you can actually talk nonsense! Why didn't I find it before? Could it be that your kid has read a few days of books in his spare time?" The old soldier laughed so hard that his cheeks shook.

"Get out of here, Li Jiujin, you haven't read books and you don't allow others to listen to operas! I have a good memory, okay?" Liu Datou angrily counterattacked with a red face and thick neck.

It turns out that the "horse meat should be dipped in sauce" was heard from the opera! The whole audience laughed!

Tang Dao also grinned.

This atmosphere is good, and it is a bit like what he once remembered.

No matter if you obey verbally or mentally, as long as you obey, after two battles, you will get used to it.

The inertia of habit is very scary.

This is also the first team that Tang Dao has when he came to this time and space.

After getting his first team, Tang Dao also brought the injured wild dog over and threw it to the old soldier Youzi to take care of it.

After all, it was a "comrade-in-arms" who had tricked the Japanese together. Tang Dao gave it a heroic and domineering name: "Hammer"!

No one understood why Tang Dao brought a dog back from the battlefield, let alone the connection between a hammer and a dog.

Tang Dao did not explain it either. In fact, it would be useless to explain it. In Sichuan dialect, you know nothing about hammers!
