War of Resistance

Chapter 970 Battle of Wanjialing ([-])
For Guo Qiliang's affirmation, Zhang Tianhai didn't say anything, just smiled.

"Just take a look." Zhang Tianhai said.

……

Soon, with Zhang Tianhai's permission, the spy company launched an operation——

This is a small hill that is not too steep, and there is a small village under the hill. The name of the village is Beitianpu.

Compared with Nantianpu in the south, Beitianpu is obviously not that big, and its military position is not as dangerous as Nantianpu, so the defense of the Japanese army here is naturally not as important.

From a military point of view, Beitianpu is more like an extension of Nantianpu. To maximize the benefits here, it is probably only to use this place as the forward position of Nantianpu.

Therefore, this place was selected by Liu Houming as the most ideal place to attack - the Japanese army here has a small number of troops, and the place is relatively remote, enough for them to fight a wave and leave.

The village in the distance has long been heavily guarded. Even outside the entrance of the village, simple fortifications have been piled up. Although they are made of mud, they still have a certain degree of defense.

Groups of patrolling Japanese soldiers patrolled the villages. If anyone dared to sneak into the village, they would shoot without hesitation.

There was a sense of depression floating over the entire village, because these Japanese soldiers had already received the news that they had already fallen into the middle of the encirclement.

"At this time, we have been surrounded by the enemy army. No one knows how many enemies there are outside. We only know that they are at least five times our number. Can we survive? Whether the entire division's troops Will they all be buried in this foreign land? Our allies have abandoned us, what should we do?"

A Japanese soldier wrote in his diary, and the Japanese characters that looked like Chinese characters appeared vividly on the paper.

The Japanese soldier was Norio Yamaguchi, from Kumamoto Prefecture in South Kyushu, Japan.

Kumamoto Prefecture has always focused on the development of the iron and steel industry, so it has also created a group of iron and steel workers.

Compared with people from other industries, iron and steel workers have several advantages: first, they have strength, second, they are highly obedient, and third, they are hardworking.

It is precisely because of these characteristics that Kumamoto Prefecture produced a large group of soldiers who fought fiercely in the Japanese army. Even the notorious Sixth Division of the "Beast Division" came from the Kumamoto area.

However, unlike other comrades-in-arms, Norio Yamaguchi was born as a cultural person, so he has the habit of keeping a diary.

As Norio Yamaguchi recorded in his diary, at this time the entire [-]th Division of the Japanese Army was full of panic, because this was already a desperate situation.

People may not panic in both prosperity and adversity, but how can they not panic in the face of desperation?Because this means that there may never be a possibility of turning over, the front means death, and perhaps no longer hope for reinforcements.

The No.20 Seventh Division turned around and ran away, leaving not only physical damage to the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division, but more importantly, spiritual damage-at this time, the people of the [-]th Division Morale is not generally low, even if he is as arrogant as Junrokuro Matsuura, he has to strengthen his spirit to face the predicament in front of him.

Although the officers and soldiers in Beitianpu Village have a squadron, it seems that these officers and soldiers have no fighting spirit.

Liu Houming looked at these Japanese soldiers whose fighting spirit was not very strong, and a flash of firmness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"That's it!" Liu Houming rubbed the tip of his nose, looking determined, according to his thinking, he must take advantage of your illness and take your life.

It is not common to beat a dog in the water, and Liu Houming will not miss these opportunities foolishly.

I saw Liu Houming waved his hand and said to the brothers around him: "Listen, brothers, with the strength of our company, it is certain to take out the little devils in this squadron, but what I want is that there will be no casualties! As a unit, go to the frontier stronghold of Little Japan."

"Yes, company commander!" Everyone responded softly.

"It is necessary to concentrate the advantages of the grenades. The grenades in the first row and the second row are concentrated to kill the firepower stronghold in the northwest. The grenadiers in the third and fourth rows are first concentrated to knock down the stronghold in the northeast, and then cooperate to attack the rest. In the stronghold, the firepower of our light machine guns in each platoon is far stronger than that of the Japanese army, if we can’t win this battle, I will only ask you, the platoon leader!” Liu Houming obviously chose to be cautious.

You must know that there are as many as 36 grenadiers in the entire company of the secret service company. It is obviously overkill to use [-] grenadiers to attack a stronghold guarded by more than [-] people.

The point is that the density of machine guns in the secret service company has reached as many as two per shift, one Czech light machine gun and one Japanese-made crooked light machine gun, and the number of light machine guns in the entire company has reached as many as 32. Isn't it easy to hit a Japanese stronghold with such firepower?

What Liu Houming wants is absolute victory and a quick decision, so that he can definitely achieve the military goal of surprise and one-shot victory.

With more than 200 people from a special agent company attacking a squadron that may be incomplete, Liu Houming is already planning to use the strength of a lion to fight a rabbit-even if the opponent has a full staff, it is only 180 people, 130 rifles, plus nine There are only grenades and nine light machine guns, and it is possible to strengthen two heavy machine guns.

However, judging from the attrition situation of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army, they are very likely to strengthen two heavy machine guns at the company level (that is, at the squadron level).

"Yes! Company commander, can we act?" The platoon leader next to him looked at Liu Houming.

"Wait." Liu Houming looked at the slightly lazy Japanese troops in the distance with a telescope, and said, "After going down for a while, we will first take down the corner strongholds, and then we will each use a platoon of troops to occupy the Japanese strongholds. The two platoons will attack the village from where the Japanese army is weak, and if the Japanese army has strong firepower, the rest will be attacked by the two platoons that occupy the stronghold."

"But... company commander, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to avoid casualties. After all, this is street fighting." A platoon leader next to him said.

Speaking of this, Liu Houming narrowed his eyes slightly again, and then said: "Then take away these two strongholds, and then look at the actions of the Japanese army. After taking them away, immediately retreat. Withdraw here! Damn it! If the little The artillery company and the mortar company are here, and it is not a simple matter to take away their small village!"

Liu Houming’s complaints are actually not unreasonable. Previously, the operations of the special agent company were basically supported by the main firepower of the regiment headquarters. Leaving aside the mortar company and small artillery company, even the artillery battalion’s artillery support is normal. of.

Opportunities to act alone like this, if any, are rare.

In Liu Houming's view, the officers and soldiers of the spy company are all gold. If they can kill more little devils under certain conditions, they shouldn't die with little devils in street fighting.

The work of street fighting and small Japanese death consumption should be the work of the main infantry battalion, and the work of the special agent company should be a sharp knife, but I am afraid that the edge of the knife will collapse in these attrition wars, so Liu Houming he I can't bear to part with it - with the position of the spy company, they can kill as many little devils as possible.

War is an art, it depends on how to play it.
