Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 6 Chapter 37: Convergence (below)

[Biliang] left a few supplementary rookies who had just joined the army this year to stay on the ship. The remaining forty officers and soldiers were sent out of their brains, especially the military officer Cao Chang who was about to face his retirement in nearly forty years. Even more vigorously walking in front of the team, carrying a long navy saber, constantly shouting to cheer for his comrades.

If the Japanese navy officer reaches the age of 40, if he cannot be promoted to a spy officer (Japanese navy spy officer, mainly a senior technician in the naval engineering, flight maintenance, repair and medical services), he must retire from his army and leave the army. This privileged class has become ordinary ordinary people.

Fortunately, before leaving the army, I personally taught those army idiots. This experience is enough to make them brag about the next half of their lives, and it can be regarded as a good ending to this hard military life.

The sailor on [Billian] was wearing a dark blue sailor uniform in autumn, wearing a navy-style cowhide ammunition box, wearing white one-piece leggings, holding a thirty-five-year naval rifle issued by the Navy, and a long 30-type bayonet. The dazzling cold light shone in the sunlight.

The three-five type naval rifle is also a fruitful result of the Japanese Army and Navy. Because of the concern that the source channel of light weapons is controlled by the Army, the Japanese Navy has developed a navy-style three-five type rifle on the basis of the thirty-year-old rifle. As a result, the Army cannot occupy the Navy's production share.

The Navy creatively used an upright sight and dust cover on this rifle. This design was originally used to prevent the mud on the beach from entering the exposed gun machine when the sailors landed on the beach. As a result, this trick was The army, who was deeply troubled by sand and dust in northern China, eventually led to the birth of the 38th large cover.

The Yangtze River gunboat rarely has the opportunity to land for combat, so it is only equipped with a rifle for self-defense, but the [Polish] type is equipped with six Lewis machine guns, but this time it was completely removed by the sailors, although there is no dedicated land use. The gun frame, but this was originally a light machine gun that can be carried and used by a single person. The naval machine gunner used a sturdy canvas belt to hang the machine gun on his chest.

When the sailors of [Billian] arrived at the meeting place, they found that they were not the first group to arrive. At the spacious playground by the Navy Pier, at least 400 sailors had gathered.

[Izumo] Captain Matsushima’s Akiyama, the armored cruiser, was the highest-ranking officer on the scene. He took the responsibility to take charge of the command. The navy Dazuo stood on the high podium, and looked like a fighting team. Look.

"It's the [Billian], it's not too late for you to come." Seeing the [Billian] team arrived, a navy captain whom Hasegawa didn't know came forward.

"I was just transferred to the fleet staff department as the staff officer of Okada. I have long wanted to find an opportunity to meet with the captains, but I did not expect this to be the case for the first time. You are Captain Hasegawa Nobuyoshi Well, I have heard of your name for a long time, and I will ask you to take care of it in the future." This staff surnamed Okada seems to get along very well, at least with a very enthusiastic attitude.

"Where and where, I still have to ask you to take care of me, Captain Okada." Hasegawa quickly saluted the other party.

Although Hasegawa is much older than the other party, it is estimated that the graduation time is at least two circles older than the other party, but the Japanese navy is not only a place where qualifications are important, but also depends on the relationship between the people behind it and can climb to the fleet staff position at this age. Guys, if it’s not that they are particularly outstanding, it’s that the backstage is solid enough, and neither of the above can be offended by Hasegawa, who is a captain of an inland gunboat.

"I heard that you are sick, how are you doing now? If you feel uncomfortable, don't force it." Okada said with a concerned expression, like a friend who has known for a long time.

"With adhesive tape, cute milk. (Very good, no problem)" Hasegawa smiled on the face, thumbs up to indicate that he was in good condition.

"That's good, I'm relieved. Please take your hand and line up behind the "Anzhai", the fleet commander will arrive immediately. At that position, I have to wait for other troops, so I will leave." Okada gave Hasegawa pointed out the position of the queue, and then saluted a military salute to the other party.

"Ah, it's okay, see you later." Hasegawa returned a military salute.

"It's such a gentle chief, Master Captain." The first officer said with emotion.

"Yeah, it looks like a very nice person." Hasegawa nodded in agreement.

"Master Captain, your complexion looks very bad, is it a fever again?" the first officer asked with concern.

"No problem, I still insist on this minor illness." Hasegawa shook his head and comforted his deputy.

The mobilization efficiency of the Japanese Navy was very high. It was only a quarter of an hour after the order was issued. The units that received the order arrived one after another. The number of combat troops assembled finally reached 592, almost enough to make up one. Infantry Brigade.

After all, they are not regular marines. Most of the personnel are light infantry equipped with rifles. There are more than 30 different types of light and heavy machine guns, and more than 20 barrels for throwing. There are no heavy weapons such as artillery, but now this kind of action No need to use artillery to think about it.

Tanimoto soon, he took the motor boat on the [Prince Eugen], landed directly on the riverside pier, along with him, there were several German naval officers, as the German side of the Japanese navy actively dealing with the crisis witness.

"Everyone knows what to do." Gu Ben asked Qiu Shan with a serious sword sheath.

"Yes, sir, everyone's morale is very high." Captain Qiushan replied respectfully.

"How many people are there?" the chief of staff asked.

"Five hundred and ninety-two people, the chief of staff." Qiushan replied.

"Can we only make up so much? But it doesn't matter, especially the Marines are about to arrive. Now we must rush to solve this matter neatly before the Army starts. Do you understand?" The naval officers standing in line stood loudly.

"Oh! Understood, Chief Staff Officer." The officers leading the team respectfully saluted the Chief Officer.

"Xiexi, let's go. Akiyama, led by your [Izumo] team in the front, and the remaining squadrons follow the sequence in the fleet. Chief of Staff, you are with me." Tanimoto waved his order and then turned He turned to Colonel von Hertz and said, "Captain von Hertz, we will start now."

"Yes, Lord General." The German naval captain held the naval ceremonial sword in his waist and nodded to Tanimoto.

The commander is of course impossible to walk on foot. The terminal duty station does not know where to transfer two high-end cars, and also hangs the civil license issued by the public concession. Eighty percent of the officers on duty were anxious and rushed directly to the street to block the road for use of.

One of the three or eight-year Ford cars is still a privately-made model, and I don't know which fairy is the original owner. However, the Japanese are quite unreasonable these years. They haven't done much in the occupied area. In the end, they can go back safely and safely, and the owner should go to burn incense.

Although there are no high-end cars on the dock, the number of trucks carrying soldiers is sufficient, and the Navy has its own independent logistics system, which can not be compared with the army of turtles who drive mules.

The main reason is that most of the navy’s equipment supplies are full, and it is really inconvenient for human and animal transportation. Shanghai used to be the base of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet. The Japanese Navy has deployed a complete fleet logistics system here, which is far more automated than the Army.

So the troops with less than 600 people took 40 Nissan 80 trucks and rushed toward Waibaidu Bridge.
