Chapter 1578 Is there a grenade launcher?
"This is Pukou Hotel." Cheng Qianfan found Pukou Hotel on the map and drew a circle around it with a pencil.
“Pukou Hotel is located on Pujiang Street.”
"Pujiang Street is a main road that leads in all directions. It is usually bustling with people coming and going."
"This is good news for us," said Cheng Qianfan.
Song Fuguo and Sheng Shuyu both nodded. The busy streets also meant it was convenient for the brothers to hide.
"Here, about 200 meters to the left of the main entrance of Pukou Hotel, Pujiang Street borders Fanding Road." Cheng Qianfan said, "Pay attention here, there is a pseudo Shanghai Municipal Police Bureau branch in the middle of Fanding Road."
"Have you figured out the situation of this police station?" Sheng Shuyu asked, "How many police officers are there? What are their weapons and equipment?"
……
Cheng Qianfan looked at Li Hao.
"The Fanding Police Station is neither big nor small, with more than 40 people. There are two teams of patrol officers on daily basis, with each team having about 8 to 10 people." Li Hao said on the side, "Half of the ten patrol officers carry long guns, and the other half are equipped with copper-headed batons."
"What gun?" Song Fuguo asked.
"They were mainly Hanyang-made and Zhongzheng-made rifles," Li Hao said. "These were equipment seized from our army by the Japanese army and later distributed to the puppet army and police."
Song Fuguo nodded slightly, motioning Li Hao to continue.
"Do they have heavy firepower such as grenades and light machine guns?" Sheng Shuyu asked.
"Probably, probably not." Li Hao said after thinking for a while.
"Commander Sheng, this question is very important." Cheng Qianfan reminded Li Hao, "Don't just say 'should', implement it as soon as possible."
"Yes."
……
"From the police station on Fanting Road to Pukou Hotel," Sheng Shuyu asked, "how many minutes does it take if we march quickly?"
"Normally it would take ten minutes." The Little Taoist priest said, "Of course, if these guys are not afraid of death and fight desperately for reinforcements after the gunfire, we can get there within five minutes."
Song Fuguo, Cheng Qianfan, Sheng Shuyu and others all laughed.
Most people are familiar with the character of the traitor police. These guys generally do not have a strong will to fight. If there is gunfire and the fighting is fierce, it would be good for these guys to get to Pukou Hotel within ten minutes.
"For us, the biggest threat is not actually the police station on Fanding Road." Cheng Qianfan said, "There are two biggest threats."
He put a pencil mark on a spot on the map.
"To the right of Pukou Hotel, at the junction of Pujiang Road and Xiandang Road." Cheng Qianfan said, "There is a sentry post of the Japanese military police here."
"There are five Japanese military policemen stationed here as a rule."
"These five military police are using Japanese Type 38 rifles. According to the Japanese military's individual carrying plan, each soldier carries two grenades." Cheng Qianfan said, "This Japanese military police post will be a threat to us."
"There is no grenade launcher, right?" Sheng Shuyu asked immediately.
When he was reorganizing the Military Control Commission's Zhejiang West Action Team in western Zhejiang, he had fought against the Japanese search team. What impressed him most was the Japanese grenade launchers. The Japanese grenade launchers could hit whatever they pointed, posing a huge threat.
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "This is just a small outpost of the Japanese military police, not a direct combat unit."
Hearing this, Sheng Shuyu was obviously relieved.
……
"Another threat to us is Toda Seiichirō's guards," Cheng Qianfan said. "Toda Seiichirō, this old devil, maybe because he is afraid of death, or maybe because he likes to show off, he has a lot of guards when he travels."
"How many people are there?" Song Fuguo asked immediately.
"Normally it's one squad." Cheng Qianfan said, "However, we have been keeping an eye on Toda Seiichiro for a while. According to our understanding of him, on a big day like tomorrow, Toda Seiichiro will send more people, which should be the security force of two squads."
"Two squads of Japanese soldiers." Song Fuguo's expression became serious.
In the organizational structure of the Japanese army, the squad is the most basic unit and the embodiment of the basic combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.
Each class consists of thirteen people.
The thirteen men included the squad leader, four machine gunners and eight riflemen.
At the same time, each squad is equipped with a light machine gun. The machine gun team consists of four people, including the commander, the shooter, and two assistant shooters carrying ammunition.
In addition, each squad of eight riflemen is equipped with a standard rifle.
Especially in specially reinforced troops, the reinforced squad will be equipped with an additional 50mm grenade launcher carried by two people.
Two squads, according to the regular configuration of the Japanese army, would have 26 people, including two light machine guns, and each soldier was equipped with two grenades. This was a very powerful enemy.
According to the combat capability of the Japanese army, it would be difficult for even a company of the National Army to defeat two squads of Japanese soldiers.
……
"Is there a grenade launcher?" Sheng Shuyu asked immediately.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Sheng Shuyu. It seemed that Brother Sheng had suffered a great loss from the Japanese army's grenade launchers.
"There shouldn't be any grenade launchers." Cheng Qianfan said, "There might be light machine guns."
He frowned and said, "The purpose of Toda Seiichirō's guard is to show off their military strength, not to fight. Therefore, the Japanese soldiers mainly carry rifles. As for whether they have light machine guns, it depends on the actual situation on the day."
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "This is unpredictable. Maybe Toda Seiichiro thinks it's impressive to put a light machine gun on the left and right of the hotel entrance, so he would do that."
Song Fuguo did not find this joke funny. He said seriously, "Then we must assume the enemy's greatest malice and assume that the enemy is equipped with two light machine guns."
"Okay." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "I will arrange for my men to deal with light machine guns and other heavy weapons."
Song Fuguo and Sheng Shuyu looked at Cheng Qianfan. They wanted to hear this important matter carefully and understand it clearly.
"I have a great general." Cheng Qianfan said, "He is particularly good at playing with explosives."
……
"Map." Qian Beiyuan Si said to the men he brought with him.
A Japanese agent opened his briefcase and handed the map to Chikitara Tsukasa.
"This map..." Onodera Masago looked at the map with a look of surprise.
"Is this a map hand-drawn by Senbei-kun?" Saegi Umezumi couldn't help but look at Senbeiharaji.
Because neither Onodera Masago nor Taira Shigeichi from the intelligence room knew much about Shanghai, he was temporarily transferred to the security team.
"Yes." Qian Beiyuan Si nodded complacently, "This is a map I hand-painted after personally going to the area near Qimin Hospital and conducting an on-site survey."
This time, he joined the security team to protect General Gangcun. Qian Beiyuan Si attached great importance to this opportunity. He wanted to make a splash and strive to win the appreciation of the general.
