Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1226 Retreat
The main force of the Independence Regiment waited for the train to enter the city before starting to advance. It took [-] minutes to cover the ten-kilometer journey... This is almost the speed of the "Sherman" tank, which means that there is almost no delay on the road.

After arriving in Datong, the independent regiment immediately divided the battalion into three parts to attack the north, west, and south sides, but let go of the east side.

This created convenience for the second battalion in the city.

At this time, the Second Battalion was attacking the Puppet North China Security Army with all its strength.

The combat effectiveness of the Puppet North China Security Army should not be underestimated. The two thousand puppet troops were able to hold their ground and wage fierce battles with the Eighth Route Army on the streets when they were caught off guard by the Eighth Route Army equipped with bursting rifles.

Even the Pseudo North China Security Army improvised a tactic... In fact, this tactic was not improvised, but a tactic developed by Ning Jie, the head of the 23rd Regiment of the Puppet North China Security Army.

The Puppet North China Security Army recruited a total of 5000 soldiers in the first act at the beginning of its establishment, and all of them recruited soldiers with a primary school diploma or above.

This plan was created by the traitor Qi Xieyuan. He established the pseudo-North China Security Army based on the concept of "establishing a school first and then building an army", and he got financial support from the devils... At that time, if a family of three in North China had 20-30 Students of the North China Security Army have a stipend of 6 yuan in the first period, 8 yuan in the fifth period, and 28 yuan in the seventh period. In addition, they also have military uniforms, leather shoes, and [-] yuan per week. Two stews and more.

The generous material conditions and stricter army management bring about a better-quality army.

Ning Jie is the first batch of trainees of the Puppet North China Security Army. He has always had the habit of preparing in advance when commanding operations, and this time is no exception.

As early as when the Eighth Route Army defeated the Devil's 59th Division for the first time, Ning Jie had heard about the Eighth Route Army's continuous-firing rifle.

At that time, Ning Jie was shocked by this kind of rifle. He said to the adjutant: "Is this the meaning of 'putting to death and rebirth'? The Eighth Route Army is actually equipped with a repeating rifle and put it into battle!"

This also shows that this Ning Jie has some knowledge.

At this time, it is not uncommon to develop the idea of ​​​​developing an intermediate-power bomb and developing an assault rifle based on it. Many countries are discussing this issue, but the follow-up impact of its research and development is too great. No one dared to do the first A crab eater.

Ning Jie believed that the Eighth Route Army had no worries because of its outdated equipment, hence the phrase "put it to death and survive".

What he didn't know was that the Eighth Route Army at this time was no longer the Eighth Route Army he knew back then.

The adjutant looked at the information and said disdainfully: "This is just a submachine gun, why should the commander be so surprised!"

"Adjutant Li!" Ning Jie replied, "This is not a submachine gun. It has the strengths of both a submachine gun and a rifle. Just imagine, if the enemy can use this kind of burst rifle to fight our army at a distance of 300 meters , our army will definitely be defeated!"

The adjutant didn't say anything, he didn't really care much about the subject.

Because he felt that even so, the Eighth Route Army’s continuous-firing rifles had little to do with them... The reason why the Pseudo-North China Public Security Army was called the “Public Security Army” was because they were used as a supplement to the insufficient strength of the Devil’s Gendarmerie Brigade. It is used to maintain "law and order" in the area occupied by the devils, and rarely goes to the front line to fight the Eighth Route Army.

But Ning Jie's character is the kind of "people without long-term worries must have near-term worries". When he is free, he always thinks about what he should do in such a battlefield if he faces the Eighth Route Army's bursting rifles one day. How the battlefield should be.

Of course, the situation in Datong was also considered, so under his command, the North China Security Army immediately adopted a tactic called "close combat and long distance combat".

This tactic is actually divided into two parts, one is "close combat" and the other is "far combat", but it cannot be said to be two parts.

This tactic was formulated for the range and rate of fire of the Eighth Route Army's bursting rifles.

Ning Jie thinks so, since the Eighth Route Army’s bursting rifle has a high rate of fire and a range of about 300 meters, it will definitely not be able to compete with it at 50 meters to 300 meters. If you want to gain an advantage in fighting with it, you must get close enough to it, as close as 50 meters. Within meters, or far enough, as far as about 300 meters.

"Close combat" is within 50 meters. Ning Jie believes that at this distance, the rate of fire, power and convenience of the box cannon are not inferior to the enemy's repeating rifles, and the convenience is even worse.

As far as 300 meters or so is "long-distance strike". Needless to say, use a rifle to distance yourself from the enemy, and try your best to take advantage of the rifle's long-range range to weaken the advantage of the Eighth Route Army's continuous rifle firepower... If the Eighth Route Army The range of the rifle is only 300 meters. At this distance, even if its rate of fire is fast but not accurate, the suppression effect will also be low.

In the street fighting in Datong, Ning Jie combined these two parts:
He organized a pistol team equipped with box cannons and grenades to enter the residential buildings on both sides of the street to disperse defenses. If the Eighth Route Army wants to advance, it must compete one by one. Compared with the 20-ring box cannon, it really doesn't necessarily have an advantage.

On the other hand, he focused on defending the street sections with a straight-line distance of 300 meters or more... A street, once the distance of more than 300 meters was placed with sandbags, machine guns, rifles, and mortars were deployed, and civilian houses were also deployed. Add sharpshooter.

This was completely unexpected by Shen Quan.

Not to mention that he didn't expect it, even Li Yunlong and Wang Xuexin didn't expect it.

The result was that the Kwantung Army of the two brigades that everyone thought was the most difficult to fight was almost wiped out in about 10 minutes, and the first battalion paid only a very small price.

The puppet army that everyone thought was not worth mentioning...but it was very difficult to fight. Shen Quan commanded the troops to fight and only occupied two streets until now, but more than [-] people were killed or injured.

If the fight continues like this, I'm afraid that if the entire Second Battalion is left here, they will not be able to take down this pseudo-North China security force.

Fortunately, the main force of the independent regiment had already arrived and launched a fierce attack on Datong from three sides, and there were tanks on three sides... Li Yunlong had thirty tanks with him when he set off from the steel factory, and at this time it happened to be ten on each side.

The tank majesticly broke in from the gap in the city wall, and it was a crazy firepower output to the enemy guarding the city wall.

Taking advantage of this moment, Shen Quan yelled at the puppet army on the opposite side: "Comrades of the 23rd Regiment, the Huaxia people will not fight the Huaxia people. Let's let go of the east side. You should retreat quickly!"

Ning Jie immediately realized that the situation was over.

Because no matter how much he "fights in close combat and far away", he is helpless when facing the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

not to mention……

The devils have almost been beaten, so what are we Huaxia doing in the city by ourselves?
Guard the city for the devils and then hand it over to the devils?
Thinking of this, Ning Jie ordered: "Get out!"

Then he led the troops to retreat eastward like a tide.
