Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 582 Looking for a new breakthrough

The soldiers of the Second Company of the Independent Battalion used the battlefield to demonstrate a cruel and vivid teaching lesson to the Sichuan Army hiding in the second-line trenches to watch the battle.

Without spending a lot of submachine gun and shell gun bullets to suppress the advance of the Japanese army, it is the most accurate single-shot cold shot of the rifle.

With the roar of heavy machine gun bullets on their heads and at the front of the trenches, those veteran shooters who returned from the bloody battlefield were cold like machines, lying on the battlefield, pulling the bolt, firing, and then pulling the bolt again, firing .
Until a magazine is empty, retract the trench, run in the trench with a cat on its back, and then continue to aim at the target you have chosen in another battle position that has been selected, waiting for the prey to take the bait, and then kill.

Ordinary infantry did not shoot to waste bullets, but if the Jing'an Army tried to move forward, the dense fire net formed by submachine guns and shell guns would crush the active Jing'an Army infantry under them when they were about 40 meters away from the position. On the ground, if there is not enough shelter or if you accidentally push your butt a little higher, congratulations, you are no longer qualified to push your butt.

The Jing'an Army, in fact, has already put forth all its strength.

Not to mention almost all the heavy machine guns, the four mountain cannons, which have been hiding all the time, did not hesitate to expose the area where the mortar positions were located into a sea of ​​flames.

After reorganization, the firepower of more than ten heavy machine guns is not unreasonable. There is a temporary bunker two 300 meters away from the rear. The ten or so light machine guns are not hard enough. The grenadiers are all hiding 400 meters away, sparing no effort to the trenches. The grenade was thrown here, not to mention that the first-line trenches were blown up by bullets and grenades, and there were not many people in the second-line trenches who dared to show their heads boldly to observe the battlefield.

Several Sichuan soldiers were injured by stray bullets and shrapnel from explosive grenades because they were too engrossed in watching. In the end, the battalion commander had to order that everyone should not fight until they received the battle order. Lie on the battlefield.

But even so, they couldn't stop the relentless gunfire from all over the trench. In a quarter of an hour, not many corpses and wounded were dragged back, but the number of soldiers who fell on the battlefield was twice the number of "recovered" and turned around. .

The frontline commander of the Jing'an Army is not a fool. After discovering this situation, he immediately understood that this was not caused by the defenders on the opposite side accidentally, but that this was originally a conspiracy and a trap.

Continue to fight according to this tactic, and in less than half an hour, the two infantry companies he invested would have to be exhausted by the well-equipped and changeable Sichuan defenders on the opposite side.

It is obviously difficult to change the current battlefield situation with machine gun suppression alone. He really wants to ask Li Shoushan in the rear to temporarily stop the attack and withdraw the frontline troops 200 meters away, and then bombard with artillery first, and then organize the attack.

But what made him miserable was that in the previous wave of attacks, at least hundreds of wounded were still lying on the battlefield. If the four mountain cannons were used, it is estimated that those wounded soldiers would not need to waste medicine.

One's own soldiers turned out to be the amulets of the Chinese people. This kind of ending is really surprising.

Since the artillery can't be counted on for the time being, unless the main attack direction is willing to pay huge casualties to play the Japanese Long Live Charge, but obviously, Li Shoushan will never agree to this iron-headed approach, otherwise he can only think of other ways. While ordering the frontline troops to retreat slowly, the commander of the major cast his gaze a thousand meters away.

If the infantry companies attacking in a roundabout way on the left and right wings can break through and gain a firm foothold on the mountains, the extremely embarrassing battle situation may be improved.

This kind of thinking is a normal way of thinking on the battlefield. If the center fails to break through, they must rely on the two wings. The Chinese army only has so many troops, and the defense line of nearly a kilometer is already stretched.

The reason why the Japanese army wrote the roundabout attacks on both wings into the army's manual is that they repeatedly used roundabout attacks to take advantage of the Chinese army's positional offensive and defensive battles. The main force of the defenders was firmly held back by the central offensive. Although it takes time and effort to circumvent the two wings, as long as a breakthrough is opened, the entire defense line will collapse like soup and snow.

Of course, the Jing'an Army, who studied under the Japanese Army, also copied the gourd painting. In the battle to wipe out the anti-Japanese guerrillas in the three eastern provinces, because of the completely unequal equipment and strength, this tactic also succeeded repeatedly.

But this time, the opponents Jing'an Army encountered were not comparable to guerrillas with only box cannons.

What they met was not only the regular army, but also veterans who had street fighting experience in the Battle of Songjiang, Chinese veterans with sufficient experience and excellent equipment.

Even though the guard platoon was divided into two, the dense firepower formed in an instant by the twenty submachine guns alone was enough to make any company and battalion-level troops terrified.

The guard platoon leader of the spy company was none other than Lao Hei, one of the three infantry squad leaders who followed Tang Dao first.

At the beginning, the three infantry squad leaders under Tang Dao, although Li Jiujin was a bit slippery, his rich experience in the battlefield was unparalleled, and he became more and more determined as the battle progressed, so he was the most valued by Tang Dao, and he was promoted all the way became a company commander;
Liu Datou has the strongest comprehensive ability, but he died early in the battle of the Sixing Warehouse, which made Tang Dao extremely regretful; as the second squad leader, Lao Hei's progress was a little slower, and he was promoted to a level in the Sixing Warehouse From a sergeant to a second lieutenant and deputy platoon leader, and then from a second lieutenant to a lieutenant in Jiaxing, he was almost on the same level as Niu Er, Yang Xiaoshan and others who were originally mere radish heads.

However, after Jiaxing was reorganized into an independent battalion, no one dared to underestimate him as a lieutenant. Instead of becoming the infantry platoon leader or deputy company commander, Tang Dao was directly promoted to the guard platoon leader.

The importance of being the leader of the security platoon guarding the battalion is self-evident, and the daily contact with several officers of the battalion has paved the way for promotion.

The previous security platoon leader, Zhao Daqiang, was promoted to the commander of the fourth company after only half a month. Not to mention old people like Lao Hei who originally followed Tang Dao. Long can't run away.

However, whether in Baihe Port or Jiaxing, Lao Hei, who is best at throwing grenades, did not perform very well. Many people subconsciously believe that Lao Hei can serve as Tang Dao's guard platoon leader, mainly because he is an old man. is the most critical factor.

Then this roundabout battle against the Jing'an army on the left and right flanks was Lao Hei's proof of himself, and he relied not only on Tang Dao's trust in him.

Lao Hei, who has gone through several bloody battles, is not as reckless as he was when he first met Tang Dao. The successive departures of his cousin and side-by-side comrades made him silent and introverted, and his combat methods are no longer as sharp as they used to be. steady.

There were three guard platoons, and he divided them into two. He personally led 18 people, and on the other side, the deputy platoon leader and first squad leader led 20 people, each with a Sichuan infantry platoon.

Instead of blindly looking for the infantry company of the Jing'an Army in the mountains and forests, and then deploying the defense line according to the enemy's movements, but according to the terrain of the undulating mountains, a one-to-two ratio of four submachine gunmen and eight Sichuan troops was used. , arm on high ground.

The straight-line distance between each highland will not exceed 150 meters, which is to ensure that the two highlands can support each other.

The four highlands lined up almost in a line in this mountain forest have a defensible area of ​​600 meters and an observation distance of 1000 meters. The high ground also provides adequate protection for the flanks.

On the other side, the same is true. On the mountains on both sides of the central main position, which is nearly a thousand meters away, more than 100 soldiers use small high ground to firmly guard the two wings of the main position.

Lao Hei faithfully implemented Tang Dao's strategic intentions. The central position was the main position to attack the Jing'an Army, and the two wings were only used for protection. As long as they could block the enemy's peak, how many people could be killed was secondary.

All tactics must ultimately serve strategy.

In this regard, Lao Hei did a good job, he did not seek fighters to wipe out more enemies for the sake of so-called military exploits.

Defending the left and right wings of the main position is military exploits.

As for whether the Japanese artillery would pose a threat to these small positions, unless the infantry company of the Jing'an Army circumventing the two wings carried long-range walkie-talkies with them, they could provide coordinates at any time to call their own artillery to strike.

This kind of configuration is nothing new in the future, not to mention calling artillery bombardment, even helicopters, fighter jets, missiles, and laser-guided bombs can all be called through satellite positioning.

But for the Japanese in this period, they may never have dreamed of such a powerful tactic.

At this time, the Japanese army and their servants also relied on their bodies to resist. The reason why the Chinese army retreated repeatedly was that the cannons, aircraft and ships were much stronger than China at this time. On the battlefield, their semi-mechanized army equipped with mules and horses is just like a bird.

In the next few years, the Chinese army equipped with American-style equipment will not be the same as fucking the Japanese in the tropical rainforest in the southwest?

After setting up the position, Lao Hei himself took two soldiers from the guard platoon and four soldiers from the Sichuan Army to lie down in an area he had chosen to observe the entire dense forest from a high position.

What he is responsible for is not blocking, but supporting the highlands according to the battle situation.

Don't underestimate the seven people he leads. The seven people have 3 submachine guns and 4 rifles. The most important thing is that each of them carries several grenades.

The Chinese soldiers are basically on top of the mountains, while the Jing'an Army is from the bottom up, condescending and throwing the grenades they carry, which are equivalent to more than [-] small artillery shells.

However, the dense forest blocked the sight of the telescope, and the more than 100 Jing'an troops who entered the dense forest were like water sprinkled into the desert, and they could not be seen at all.

500 meters away from Lao Hei, gunfire suddenly rang out.

The expected battle broke out!
