Chapter 2 My Soldiers
"Captain, are you getting better?" The young soldier looked at Qin Shou with a nervous look on his face.
"Well, I'm fine. Call the Chief of Staff." Qin Shou has now completely accepted the reality of his time traveling to this era. Although his head still hurts a little, he no longer cares about this. In northern Myanmar, there are Japanese troops everywhere. If he doesn't want to be killed by the Japanese army, he has to find a way to escape first.
"Okay, regiment commander." Guard Huzi nodded and quickly went to find Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan.
After a while, Liu Shiquan came to Qin Shou.
"Captain, your injury is fine?" Liu Shiquan looked concerned. Although Qin Shou was young, he was the spiritual pillar of the entire supplementary group. In the event of severe damage, if Qin Shou had another three-long and two-long shortage, the supplementary group would be finished.
"It's okay, the Japanese cannonballs can't take my life. If you don't kill all the Japanese, I won't go to see the King of Hell." Qin Shou looked domineering.
Seeing that Qin Shou was really fine, Liu Shiquan felt relieved.
"Old Liu, how is the situation in the army now? How many brothers can we continue to fight? How many weapons and ammunition are there?" How many assets are there in hand? This is directly related to whether the supplementary regiment can survive in Myanmar.
"Captain, now the entire regiment is full of feathers, less than a thousand people. There are more than 300 wounded soldiers. More than 100 of them are seriously injured. We do not have enough medicine, so we can only watch the serious wounded sacrifice one by one." When he said this, Liu Shiquan's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
In order to defend the country, the Expeditionary Force did not hesitate to go abroad to fight. However, it is impossible to even send the corpses of their brothers back to China.
Qin Shou was also silent. The reality is like this now. The little RB is at its peak. After sneaking into the Americans' Pearl Harbor, the little RB is expanding in the entire Pacific Ocean. The entire South Ocean has fallen into their hands. The reason why the Japanese attacked Myanmar was on the one hand to cut off the weapons supply line of the Chinese anti-Japanese military and civilians, and on the other hand, it wanted to take the opportunity to invade India, and then enter the Middle East, where they met with the Germans.
"Old Liu, I won't talk about these useless things now. Even if I fight for my life, I will avenge them. The current situation is very dangerous for us. We must find a way to rush out of the Japanese encirclement and then survive. Only in this way can we give our brothers a chance to avenge their brothers." Qin Shou looked firm. He believed that he would not be so short in this life.
Liu Shiquan nodded heavily.
"Old Liu, how many weapons do we have now?" More than a thousand people said more than a thousand times, and less said less. If they were used well, they might not be able to do something big.
"We still have more than 600 M1903 rifles, 12 M1918 light machine guns, 4 M1917 heavy machine guns, 4 60mm mortars, two 81mm mortars, and two 37mm war defense cannons." Liu Shiquan knew the current supplementary regiment's assets as they knew.
Qin Shou couldn't help but curled his lips. Didn't the Chinese Expeditionary Force be an American armed force? How could it be different from the American armed force he is familiar with! The rifle is an old rifle like the M1903. This is still the main rifle of the US military during World War I, and it was not the semi-automatic M1 rifle used by the Americans themselves. Of course, its performance is no worse than the 38th cover of the small RB.
The M1918 light machine gun has better stability than the small RB's crooked hands, but it is far inferior to the German MG42.
As for the M1917 heavy machine gun, it is even more of a water-cooled old-fashioned heavy machine gun.
A few mortars and war defense cannons can only be considered better than nothing.
Although the Expeditionary Force is the so-called American armed forces, it is undoubtedly a big difference compared to the real American armed forces. No wonder on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, the National Army was no match for Little RB at all.
It is said that in actual combat, one infantry corps of the Japanese army can often fight against one army of the National Army. This has nothing to do with not being brave or fear of death. According to the standard, a regular field infantry corps of the Japanese army has 3,980 people. 4 75mm mountain cannons, 6 70mm infantry cannons, 12 mortars, 4-12 automatic cannons/sniper cannons/speed fire cannons, 60 heavy machine guns, 125 light machine guns, 153 50mm grenade launchers and 2,190 rifles. In contrast, a single army of the National Army does not have such advanced weapons!
The National Army defended 40 Japanese divisions on the battlefield, and the National Army needed 320 divisions to be put into operation, with a ratio of 1:8. However, the premise is that defensive wars are carried out in the mountains, and even defense wars cannot be supported once they arrive at the plains. Of course, the military strength of a division of the National Army is much less than that of a division of the Japanese army. A division of the Japanese army has more than 28,000 people. A division of the National Army, even a reinforced division like the 200th Division, is only more than 10,000 people.
"Old Liu, our family is not rich! You probably know the current situation. Although we successfully covered the retreat of the main force, we also fell into the siege of the small RB. The north and the east were almost full of Japanese devils, just waiting for us to bump into it. If we meet the main force of the small RB, just us, it is probably not enough for the small RB team to eat." Qin Shou looked frustrated.
"Captain, we all listen to you. You have drunk foreign ink, you are better than us." Liu Shiquan said nothing at all, as if Qin Shou was the decision.
"Old Liu, since I say that, I'm not pretentious. The north and the east are full of Japanese devils. There are few Japanese devils in the west, but the mountains are high and dense forests are dense. Even if I go there, I will starve my brothers to death. Only in the south is a way out."
"If we go south, will we be getting further and further away from the motherland?" Liu Shiquan was stunned.
"Yes, going south is getting further and further away from the motherland. But it's better than going to die, right? If we are lucky enough to return to the country, we will still kill the Japanese. We will save ourselves and kill the Japanese. Since we are killing Japanese everywhere, what's the difference?"
Liu Shiquan couldn't help but nodded, as if he thought what Qin Shou said was very reasonable.
"Old Liu, I won't say much about the extra words. As the saying goes, a man will die, and he will die for thousands of years! Our expeditionary army is just to kill the Japanese. Whether it is returning to China or in Myanmar, he will kill the Japanese. If you believe me, follow me!"
"Captain, do you still don't know about me, Lao Liu? I will do whatever you say." Liu Shiquan grinned.
