Chapter 1834 The defense line is held

On the other hand, the entry of the independent battalion into the battle, or rather the introduction of night vision goggles into the battle, also reduced the pressure on ammunition.

One of the important reasons why the Long March Regiment finished three bases of ammunition in half an hour was that the target could not be seen at night.

With the target out of sight and the Japanese launching a group charge rhythmically, the Long March regiment had to use dense bullets to prevent the enemy from approaching.

Otherwise, the total strength of the Long March Regiment is only more than 3000 people, while the Japs have tens of thousands or more... The Japs from several divisions are waiting behind to charge. The reason why they did not invest is simply because the battlefield is too small to accommodate so many people. That’s all.

If this were a hand-to-hand fight with the Japanese, the Long March soldiers would not be able to do anything even if they all had three heads and six arms.

The Japanese saw this clearly, and used artillery fire to block the supply route of the Long March Regiment while using intensive charges to consume its ammunition.

But this trick is no longer practical after the independent battalion is invested.

With the help of night vision devices, the independent battalion carried out precise strikes on targets instead of relying on bullet density to keep the enemy out of the defense line as before.

To put it bluntly, it means "destroying more enemies with fewer bullets to achieve better results."

This is second.

The Japanese used to play tactics with the Eighth Route Army: sometimes they were really attacking, sometimes they were firing loudly and shouting, and only a few companies were attacking.

This gave the Eighth Route Army a headache. Every time the Japanese came up, they would get nervous and fight the enemy.

With night vision goggles, it was clear at a glance whether the Japs were really attacking or fake. The soldiers of the independent battalion looked at the Japs' hard-working performance in the night vision goggles as if they were acting, and everyone was amused and laughed.

Zhao Liangzhi on the other side was still frowning in the headquarters.

After he sent the independent battalion up, he forgot about this matter. What could only more than 100 people do?

According to the current consumption rate of ammunition and soldiers, these more than 100 reinforcements can only last 5 minutes longer at most!

If this continues, the defense line may be breached by the Japanese at any time.

The casualties of the troops will be small by then. The important thing is that this line of defense is already the last line of defense outside Ping'an Village. If this line of defense is occupied by the Japs, the Eighth Route Army will be sealed in the basin by the Japs and unable to get out, and the Japs can save a lot of money. troops and invest them in other directions.

Just when Zhao Liangzhi was anxiously walking around the headquarters, the communications soldier came forward and reported: "Captain, the intensity of the Japs' charge has been reduced a lot!"

"Has the intensity of the charge been reduced?" Zhao Liangzhi looked at the communication soldiers in confusion, then shook his head and said, "No, this is probably a conspiracy of the Japs. All units are ordered to be careful of sudden attacks by the Japs!"

"Yes!"

After a while, the communications soldier came up again, and he reported: "Regiment commander, the first battalion commander reported that this was not a conspiracy of the Japanese, but that the independent battalion fought accurately and hard, disrupting the rhythm of the Japanese attack!"

"Independent camp?" Zhao Liangzhi was a little stunned after hearing this.

The political commissar interrupted and asked, "Do they really have any 'unique skills'?"

"Listen to Zhang Zihui's nonsense!" Zhao Liangzhi raised his head and retorted: "This is all about fighting, there is no 'unique skill'!"

"Commander!" At this time, the communications soldier reported again: "I heard that there is something in the Independent Battalion. They can see the Japanese a few hundred meters away!"

Independent battalions are dispersed to fight in the frontline trenches. Although most of their locations are permanent fortifications such as bunkers for the purpose of protecting night vision devices, soldiers coming and going will inevitably see some clues... …The scope used to receive infrared images of the night vision device is large, and other soldiers can also see part of it.

Zhao Liangzhi was happy at this point: "Look, I'm telling you, do they still have clairvoyance? What a joke!"

The political commissar also did not believe that the independent battalion could see the enemy hundreds of meters away in the dark. This was unscientific.But the political commissar thought about it again and said curiously: "But it is true that they disrupted the Japanese attack rhythm! Listen to the gunshots..."

Zhao Liangzhi listened carefully and found that although there were fewer gunshots outside, most of them were "click, click, click" bursts rather than strafing. The Japanese did not charge with the same screams as before.

How is this going?

Thinking together, Zhao Liangzhi picked up the pistol hanging on the wall and said to the political commissar: "Let me take a look!"

Then he led the guards into the trench along the traffic trench.

Zhao Liangzhi knew this line of defense very well and found Zhang Zihui without much effort.

At that time, Zhang Zihui was holding a machine gun and kept aiming in the direction of the Japanese, but he never fired.

Zhang Zihui's machine gun team is the command team. He needs to use night vision goggles to observe the enemy's situation and then direct the troops to focus on which parts to attack.

But because he is the commander, his position can easily be locked by the enemy after firing, so his machine gun will not fire easily unless there is a crisis.

"Battle Commander Zhang!" Zhao Liangzhi shouted.

"Here!" Zhang Zihui just turned his head and glanced at Zhao Liangzhi, and then continued to put his eyes on the night vision device.

This is a rule on the battlefield. Once you enter the trench, you can save on etiquette such as saluting. Otherwise, if the commander walks around the trench, the position may be lost.

"Report the situation!" Zhao Liangzhi lay beside him and raised his binoculars to look in the direction of the Japanese.

But this was just a habitual action, and there was nothing in the telescope except the cannon fire and the dots of light from the muzzle.

"Report to the leader!" Zhang Zihui kept his aiming posture and replied: "The Japs probably suffered more than 700 casualties. They have retreated to about 1000 meters from the gathering place. The crisis on our defense line has been temporarily relieved!"

Zhao Liangzhi was stunned after hearing this.

He couldn't believe that his own regiment had sacrificed so many people and still fought so hard. Zhang Zihui only brought more than 100 people up to resolve the crisis in a few moments...

But the facts are before our eyes. The Japanese charge is indeed weaker and slower, and there is even less artillery fire.

"What's going on?" Zhao Liangzhi couldn't help but ask, "How did you repel the Japanese?"

"Captain!" Zhang Zihui gave up his position and signaled: "You will know after you take a look!"

Zhao Liangzhi went up to take a look with hesitation, and was shocked on the spot.

"What is this?" Zhao Liangzhi raised his head and looked at Zhang Zihui next to him like a needle pricking him: "Really...can you really see the Japanese?"

"This is called a night vision device!" Zhang Zihui replied: "Not only can you see the enemy, but you can also know the distance of the enemy!"

This is an enhanced version of the night vision device, which is equipped with a laser rangefinder.

With a precise distance, the machine gunner can shoot more accurately.

Zhao Liangzhi raised his eyes again and looked for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief: "Good thing! The defense line is held!"
