Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 828
The battle was very fierce, and both the enemy and the enemy were prepared, which can be said to be a match for each other.

The devils used the anti-tank trenches to build a defense, relying on the terrain slightly higher to the west behind the anti-tank trenches... This terrain makes it difficult for the Eighth Route Army to forcefully cross the anti-tank trenches. Offensive position.

Yuta Takemura, the captain of the Devil Battalion, is a very experienced commander. He used light and heavy machine guns to deploy cross-fire forces one by one behind the anti-tank trench, supplemented by riflemen holding [-] large caps, and then used grenade grenades and dunks in the rear. The artillery marched in the formation, and once suppressed the Eighth Route Army infantry in front of an open space in front of the anti-tank trench, unable to move.

Yuta Takemura understands that the anti-tank trench can block enemy tanks, but it cannot stop enemy infantry.

Because the enemy infantry can jump into the anti-tank trench and climb out from the other end to rush to the defense line of the imperial army, and even the enemy engineers can jump into the anti-tank trench to blast it, as long as part of the side wall of the anti-tank trench is blown down Fill the trench, and then fill it up with sandbags or stones, and the light tank T26 may pass through the anti-tank trench through this gap.

Pinning down enemy infantry, therefore, means keeping enemy tanks out of tank trenches.

Yuta Takemura understood this from the very beginning, and he told his subordinates over and over again before the battle: "Don't worry about those tanks, our task is to prevent the enemy infantry from approaching the anti-tank trenches, understand?"

The subordinates also firmly carried out Zhucun's orders during the battle. They did not target tanks... In fact, even if the devils targeted tanks, they could do nothing to them. They did not have the equipment to destroy tanks at a long distance. They are less than 100 meters apart.

Under this combat policy, the devil's machine gun bullets fired condescendingly at the side and rear of the tank, knocking down the Eighth Route Army soldiers following the tank in pieces.

In this regard, Takemura's years of combat experience on the battlefield played a role. He did not arrange the machine guns on the front line, but placed the machine guns at a distance of more than 400 meters to 500 meters from the anti-tank trenches.

Takemura's move even puzzled the staff officer. He asked Zhumura: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army usually attacks at night, and the machine guns are deployed more than 400 meters away...the shooter may not be able to see the target!"

"Shiraki-kun!" Takemura asked without answering: "Can the shooter see enemy tanks? Especially our army has flares!"

"Of course!" The staff officer responded.

It may be difficult to spot a leaping enemy in the dark, but it is not difficult to spot a tank.

"That's fine!" Takemura said. "All they have to do is shoot the bullets at the tanks, understand?"

The staff officer immediately understood, answered "Yes", and then followed Zhucun's order to set up machine gun positions.

The staff officer did understand.

Because if the machine gun is deployed at the front of the position, that is, too close to the enemy, there will be several problems:

First, the tall body of the enemy tank can easily block the machine gun bullets and form a wide shooting dead angle behind it, that is, the machine gun cannot pose a threat to the enemy hiding behind the tank.

Second, the machine gun position is too close to the tank, and it is easy to become the target of the tank.

Now, Major Takemura intends to extend the distance of the machine gun, and the bullets of the machine gun will hit the rear of the tank in an arc motion in the air due to the distance and gravity... This shooting method is often used when the troops charge, and the troops will block the tank when they charge. According to the shooting angle of the machine gun at the rear, the muzzle of the machine gun is slightly lifted up at this time, that is, it is fired into the air, and the bullet will pass over one's own troops and hit the enemy's position in a parabola.

It is not advisable to use this shooting method on a rifle, because the rifle hits a point, and the probability of hitting the target in this way is too low, but the machine gun hits the surface, so there is no problem with this method.

More importantly, because the machine gun has a long distance, it can also make it difficult for you to be hit by enemy tanks, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

This style of play really worked on the battlefield.

The bullets rained down on the rear of the tank, sometimes hitting the armor of the tank with a bean-popping sound.

Although these bullets cannot penetrate the armor of the tank, they will form scattered ricochets, so that the infantry hiding behind the tank fell in a pool of blood, and the soldiers did not even know where the bullets came from. Yes, and some don't understand how the devil's bullets can turn around and hit the rear of the tank.

The commander of the attack was Sun Ming, the commander of the Fourth Battalion.

The reason why Sun Ming's fourth battalion was selected for the first batch was because the fourth battalion was better than the other battalions in terms of team-tank coordination.

This is actually not surprising. Sun Ming was originally an adjutant of the Jinsui Army. He had seen tanks for a long time and of course knew some tactics. In addition, most of his Fourth Battalion were old subordinates drawn from the Jinsui Army. There is no Eighth Route Army's consistent style of "not afraid of sacrifice or bloodshed"...

This is not to say that the style of "not afraid of sacrifice or bloodshed" is not good, but that the battlefield should be changed according to local conditions and situations.

For example, when the equipment was insufficient and there was almost no coordination with other arms, then this spirit should be carried forward, otherwise this battle would not be possible.

But if there are other arms to cooperate, and then blindly carry forward the spirit of "not afraid of sacrifice or bloodshed", it is to ignore the casualties of subordinates and fight indiscriminately.

After Li Yunlong got the scriptures from Wang Xuexin, he turned around and asked the battalion commanders of the independent regiment to scold for a while, and then had an actual combat drill...I found that the other battalion commanders were fucking used to the previous style of fighting, even though they were given orders , But that deep-rooted concept can't be changed for a while, and they don't think of calling tanks and artillery fire unless they have to.

The only exception was Sun Ming's Fourth Battalion... Not only Sun Ming, but also Sun Ming's company commanders and platoon leaders all had a certain sense of coordination.

So there was no way, the striker was abruptly changed from the first battalion to the fourth battalion.

Li Yunlong also yelled at the other battalion commanders angrily: "All of you watch from behind and see how they fight!"

At this time, Sun Ming watched his subordinates being knocked down behind the tank by enemy machine guns in pieces, and his heart was bleeding like a knife.

He used the binoculars to observe the position of the devil's machine gun, then looked at the tank, and then he understood what kind of tricks the devil was playing.

This technique is called "machine gun curve fire" in tactics. Sun Ming has heard of it before in the army, but he has never used it. Today is an eye-opener. It seems that the devils in front of him are not easy to mess with.

The tanks couldn't hide behind, and the infantry had no cover to leap forward. As a result, the tanks were also blocked by the anti-tank trenches and couldn't move an inch.

Sun Ming didn't think too much, and immediately ordered to the communications soldier: "Take the artillery!"
