All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 303, new tactics for breakthrough

In the early morning, the sky was just hazy and bright.

The roar of the cannon broke the tranquility, and another Japanese attack began.

The number of artillery participating in the attack has decreased, only a dozen mountain runs, and the artillery preparations before the attack have tripled compared to usual.

A small gold mining airport, if it does not have the ability to block the road with artillery fire, is not worthy of the attention of the Japanese Burmese Expeditionary Command.

After confirming that the threat was lifted, the troops chasing up from behind crossed the battle zone of the Takeuchi Regiment overnight, and followed the Burma Road to the north to pursue the Huaxia Expeditionary Army.

The [-]th Mechanized Division, which had a loss ratio of one to two in World War II, was the primary target of the Japanese army to destroy.

A few days ago, when the division crossed the Hsipaw and Mogok highways, the deputy captain Mitsui Nakazuo led the infantry brigade that arrived in advance and ambushed it.

However, due to factors such as exhaustion from detours, less troops and lack of heavy weapons, they failed to do their best.

It was just a small bite and more than five hundred people were wiped out.

The head of the division, Hiroshi Watanabe, who heard the news, deeply regretted that if the enemy at the Gold Mine Airport had not been blocked, the Takeuchi Regiment had arrived in time to ambush the enemy, and it would have been possible to completely wipe out this great enemy.

Even if it cannot be completely eliminated, it can severely damage the enemy.

Historically, the [-]th Division was ambushed here, the troops were dispersed, the regiment commander Liu Shuren was killed, and the division commander Dai Jianlan was rescued by Chief of Staff Zhou Zhizai after being seriously injured.

In mid-June, the remnant of the division finally arrived in Yongping, Yunnan after a difficult retreat. The division commander Dai Youlan died of serious injuries during the retreat, and Gao Yanren, the deputy division commander, succeeded the division commander.

A generation of famous generals fell away.

The Gold Mine Airport was in the way, and by accident, the [-]th Division blocked a fatal blow.

Naturally, the Japanese army did not give up and continued to implement the original strategy.

Of course, the Sichuan Army Corps who blocked the way at the Gold Mine Airport also had to pay the price.

Although the other troops continued to pursue northward, the Takeuchi Alliance would stay until the Gold Mine Airport was completely captured.

How exactly does the new weapon used by the enemy work?
Mr. Watanabe is very eager to know, especially the kind of artillery with strong firepower.

The reconnaissance plane was fortunate enough to take pictures of the launch, and it was incredible that more than a dozen barrels were fired one after another.

Is it the same principle as the Gatling rotary machine gun?

Before the hairy bear's Katyusha was exposed, there hadn't been any kind of multi-barreled artillery.

Under the cover of artillery fire and heavy machine guns, the infantry set out to approach the enemy's position cautiously.

The rockets that flew out with white smoke dropped a few rounds from time to time, and the infantry who fell down every time a round fell quickly fell down.

Some unlucky ones were still blown away by the blast.

Through the binoculars, Takeuchi Lianshan could see very clearly that the flying shells had no barrels at all. Even after witnessing him many times, he was still quite surprised.

Without the barrel to indicate the direction, how can the shell hit the place it wants to hit?
He was puzzled, and the only good news was that all the artillery mounts used by the enemy for firing were destroyed.

The shells fired in this way can only be used within the line of sight, it is difficult to hit far, and the shots are not particularly accurate.

"The enemy is at the end of their strength, but the firepower density of light weapons is still a headache."

Seeing the firepower constantly rising from the enemy's position, Takeuchi Lianshan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The chief of staff of the wing agrees: "Everyone has an automatic firearm like a submachine gun, and the accuracy is not enough to make up bullets, which is really an advantage in combat.

If our Empire of Japan was not short of resources, why would we use the [-]-type rifle for the consumption of bullets. "

Japan can be recognized by the great powers as one of them, and its industrial strength cannot be underestimated.

Even the first-class Type Zero fighter can be researched and manufactured at this time, and it is not too difficult to imitate a submachine gun, as it has already been produced.

The key submachine gun consumes bullets too quickly. According to calculations, the same number of troops equipped with submachine guns will consume three times more bullets than rifles.

It's not that soldiers don't use sparingly. The key is that the submachine gun fires in bursts. Once the trigger is pulled, a few bullets will go out.

Hold the trigger for a few seconds and all the bullets are gone.

[-] was already approaching the end of World War II.

The reason why the Japanese army went south to Southeast Asia was because of the shortage of resources. The big dog, the United States, would not sell them to them, so they had to grab a way.

They urgently need to plunder the scarce oil, rubber, steel, copper, etc. in order to continue the war. How can they equip the troops with submachine guns to increase the consumption rate of strategic materials.

Of course, the Army Red Deer must implement the concept of "a submachine gun that hits one shot is not as good as a sharpshooter that hits one shot".

It is reasonable to share the worries for the empire, instead of complaining that the empire does not have weapons that waste bullets.

Of course, their attack is also reasonable, and it is very difficult to achieve the desired results when they are suppressed by enemies with more powerful firepower.

Takeuchi Lianshan looked at it for a while, put down the binoculars and told the messenger behind him: "Let them withdraw, if they fight like this, they won't be able to take it down for another week."

After the orderly ran away.

The chief of staff asked curiously: "Master, are you going to use the method of earthwork excavation?"

Everyone in the wing knows that the leader of the wing graduated with a degree in civil engineering and has a considerable preference for using civil engineering to fight.

"No." Takeuchi Lianshan shook his head inscrutablely: "The efficiency is too slow, that is the last resort."

The chief of staff who guessed wrong bowed his head: "Forgive me for being stupid, I really don't know how to attack."

The position occupied by the enemy is dangerous, and tactics such as detours are difficult to work, and there is only one way to attack by force.

The attack tactics of the Japanese army were relatively rigid, and the storms mostly relied on their own firepower superiority to destroy and suppress the enemy's firepower.

Then the infantry rushed to the enemy's position and started hand-to-hand combat, completely winning the victory.

In summary, it is still the way for artillery to bombard infantry.

Because the enemy's firepower is weak, they often succeed repeatedly.

In the face of enemies whose defensive tactics are well-organized to offset the advantage of artillery fire, and the firepower of light weapons is stronger than theirs, the old tactics are completely useless.

But in fact, there are skills in storming, Takeuchi Lianshan suddenly thought of it just now.

A submachine gun that hits once in a hundred is not as good as a sharpshooter who hits once.

The enemy's firepower is very fierce, and they have many sharpshooters!
In the rear of the attacking infantry, arrange a team of selected sharpshooters, and two or three people will stare at a "fire point" of the enemy.

As long as the enemy dares to show his head and shoot, he will be targeted by two or three sharpshooters at the same time.

The result is obvious.

So what if every gun is a point of fire?They can arrange that every shooter is a sharpshooter.

After hearing this, the chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and after savoring it carefully, he was greatly amazed, and praised in a tone of admiration: "It is quite a clever tactic, which is very instructive for tough battles, and the experience formed is enough to promote the learning of the whole army."

"Thank you, someone must have thought of it, but it may not be useful." Takeuchi Lianshan said humbly after being praised.

His flash of thought was indeed ingenious.

It is in line with the Imperial Army's long-term cultivation of soldiers' marksmanship. It has a large number of excellent shooters with good marksmanship, and a [-]-style rifle with high accuracy.

But as he said, the enemies the rest of the troops usually encountered were of no use at all.

With the poor firepower of the enemy, how many can be left after being destroyed by the artillery grenades?

A spontaneous shot by a good marksman in an attacking force is enough to neutralize the remaining threat.

The chief of staff thought that no one else had thought of it, only His Majesty the Chief had thought of it, which is an excellent quality that is good at discovering.

Immediately call up shooters from each unit that can still be reasonably accurate at 400 meters.

The shooting training standards of the Japanese army are very abnormal.

Every Japanese recruit must consume 150 rounds of ammunition a month, and this Japanese recruit must fire at least [-] rounds of ammunition in eleven months.

The assessment results are also very strict. You must shoot at a distance of 400 meters from the target, and you must achieve an abnormal score of 10 rings in 80 rounds to be considered a pass.

Otherwise, they would be severely punished by the army, which caused every Japanese soldier to train seriously and actively, and did not dare to delay laziness.

However, that is the old calendar.

With the expansion of the scale of the war and the rapid expansion of the army, even children as young as sixteen or seventeen were drafted into the army.

The newly established troops and the troops that consumed a lot in the war are all waiting to be fed to the higher-ups. Wars break out anytime and anywhere, and time waits for no one.

The training time for recruits has also been compressed, and they can only be supplemented by combat troops to hone their skills in war.Therefore, the replenishment of soldiers in the past two years is almost impossible to count on.

Fortunately, the Takeuchi United team still has some old foundations, and it took some effort to gather nearly 200 people's backbone veterans.

Most of them are non-commissioned officers of corps chiefs, sergeants, and chief cao, equivalent to corporals, sergeants, and sergeants.

These people can be said to be the backbone souls of the combat troops. As long as they exist and add a group of recruits, they will immediately have [-] to [-]% of their combat effectiveness.

If their losses are large, the combat effectiveness of the withdrawn troops will be reduced sharply by [-] to [-]%.

Takeuchi Lianshan personally announced the tactics to be implemented to everyone, and handed them over to a major commander, expressing considerable importance.

The chief of staff suggested: "It's best to dispatch some bombers to cooperate. We have accomplished one battle, and we will use all our advantages to attack in one breath and completely eliminate the enemy today."

"Having a bomber can increase the chances of winning by [-]%. That's fine. You should coordinate and arrange immediately."

Takeuchi Lianshan readily agreed.

After seven days of continuous attack, he almost wiped out an alliance. The pressure on his shoulders was heavier than everyone else.

The head of the division will not ask others, but only ask him Takeuchi Lianshan: When will it be defeated?
In the past few nights, he couldn't close his eyes, and when he closed his eyes, he would be questioned endlessly, and because of this, he lost a lot of hair.

With a breakthrough tactic, then put all the chips on it and fight hard.

An hour later, all units were ready, and the artillery brigade bombarded with firepower for 10 minutes, kicking off the prelude to the ultimate battle.

Takeuchi Lianshan came to the front line again, looking forward to seeing the scene of a successful breakthrough.
