People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 87 Major Ishikawa's Misjudgment

At eight o'clock in the evening, there was silence all around.

The guard company, with more than 200 troops, quickly launched an attack from the south under the command of Chen Ziyun.

Before the battle in Qingshan Town, the southern outlying positions were completely destroyed by heavy shelling.

Chen Ziyun speculated that the Japanese army would not be able to build a solid position in a short period of time, so he deliberately chose the south for the breakthrough.

The two submachine gun platoons rushed to the front under the command of the company commander Chu Yu, and Chen Ziyun commanded the rifle platoon and machine gun platoon to follow quickly.

Not long after, two 81MM mortars and two Japanese heavy machine guns of the machine gun platoon established positions in different positions and prepared for cover.

The rifle platoon continued to advance. Of course, as the distance narrowed, the soldiers had already pulled out of the skirmish line.

The troops took squads as attack units and alternately leaped toward the Japanese positions.

The soldiers directly follow the squad leader's password to fight, while the platoon leader directs the squads to fight.

Although Chen Ziyun has gained basic infantry command skills, professional tasks are still left to professionals.

Chu Yu, the commander of the guard company, directly commanded the platoons to fight.

And Chen Ziyun personally led the charge, which played the biggest role in boosting the morale of the guard company.

As the highest commander in the Jinsui Army, Chen Ziyun charged in person, which would have a great impact on the soldiers.

Of course, Chen Ziyun also had some ideas of putting on a show when he did this.

After all, he has always wanted to train his own team, more than 500 prisoners of war, but it is a good choice.

If they could be made to follow Chen Ziyun wholeheartedly, then Chen Ziyun would definitely have his own place in the Jinsui Army!
At present, he can completely control the two artillery companies, but Chu Yu of the guard company can't say well.

But once the guard company replenishes a large number of prisoners of war, and these prisoners of war only obey Chen Ziyun's orders, then Chu Yu can definitely be emptied.

It's not that Chen Ziyun doesn't trust Chu Yunfei, it's just that in a unit like the Jinsui Army, keeping an extra hand is only good, not bad.

Among other things, Yan Laoxi has secretly contacted the little devil.

When Chen Ziyun came here, he must have attacked the Japanese army.

The future is uncertain, Yan Laoxi directly betrayed Chen Ziyun in order to keep the Jinsui army.

If he didn't have his own team, Chen Ziyun would die a miserable death by then!

Liwei captured the cavalry of the puppet army, Wu Ziqiang said that Chen Ziyun had achieved a series of victories.

In addition, now that Chen Ziyun took the initiative to lead the charge, he just wanted to win over these prisoners of war!
As long as these prisoners of war can remember Chen Ziyun, then in the 358th regiment in the future, he will have a way to train them into his own team.

"Chen Tuanfu, the front is less than 500 meters away from the outlying positions. Company Commander Chu, please hide to avoid any surprises."

At this moment, the guards from the company's company headquarters rushed over quickly and said directly to Chen Ziyun.

Chen Ziyun didn't pay attention, and directly moved forward with the rifle platoon.

And here in the outlying positions, the Ishikawa Brigade has already noticed something.

One grenadier after another began to launch flares into the air, and as a large number of flares lifted into the sky, the dark night was as bright as day.

The soldiers of the guard company, who were advancing rapidly towards the front, quickly adjusted. They all lay on the ground and crawled forward.

You must know that most of the guard companies are veterans, and most of them have also received the potential of elite soldiers rewarded by the system.

During this period of continuous training and actual combat, some of them have entered the elite level judged by the system.

So on the battlefield, they can respond immediately.

Chen Ziyun also took this into consideration when he arranged for the guard company to launch a firepower test.

If it were Wu Ziqiang's Second Battalion at this time, they would have been hit by Japanese firepower because of their exposure.

"Your Excellency, Captain, there are indeed Jinsui troops attacking in front of our position."

"It's just that this Jinsui army is very powerful, and it immediately hid itself in a short time."

"Now our riflemen can't lock them, should we concentrate grenadiers on them!"

In Qingshan Town, a Japanese lieutenant quickly came to Shaozuo Ishikawa and hurriedly reported.

After they noticed that there were troops advancing in front of the southern position, Major Ishikawa immediately made deployments.

The Japanese army planned to expose the attacking Jinsui army by firing flares, and then concentrated the riflemen to attack.

In their view, the enemy's situation is unknown now, and once the light and heavy machine guns are fired, it is easy to be suppressed by the artillery of the Jinsui Army.

Japanese riflemen have a relatively high level of shooting, they can fully deploy their guns, and they can move quickly.

It's just that Major Ishikawa himself didn't expect that the Jinsui army in front of the position quickly took cover as soon as the surrounding area became bright.

In the eyes of the battle-hardened Major Ishikawa, a unit with such responsiveness must be elite!

"Since it is confirmed that it is the Jinsui Army, then the opponent has a certain number of artillery."

"Once the grenade is exposed, it may be hit by the opponent's artillery, and it will also reveal the detailed location of our position!"

"Order the machine gun squadron to deploy six heavy machine guns to support the first squadron in combat, wait until the Jinsui Army approaches the position, and start shooting."

After Major Ishikawa pondered for a while, he decisively issued an order.

Now the distance is far away. Although there are flares, the rifleman cannot lock the detailed position.

However, a small guard company continued to advance, and when they were tens of meters away from the position, they would naturally be exposed.

Major Ishikawa's tactics are very simple. Once the guard company advances to such a distance, the light and heavy machine guns will focus on firing.

Then all the riflemen put on bayonets and started hand-to-hand combat, thus completely annihilating this Jinsui army!
The Jinsui army is not good at hand-to-hand combat, which is an open secret on the battlefield in Jin Province.

On the contrary, Japanese troops, shooting skills and stabbing are their best combat methods.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain." The Japanese lieutenant immediately agreed.

When the Japanese lieutenant began to deliver orders, Major Ishikawa sneered.

Once the two sides start hand-to-hand combat, there is no way for each other's artillery to provide support.

In his opinion, no matter how many troops the Jinsui Army has, as long as they get close to the position, they will be completely wiped out!

It's just that Major Ishikawa didn't know that it was the guard company that was attacking the position on the south side of Qingshan Town at this time.

These more than 200 troops are fully equipped with more than 100 Jin-made submachine guns and shell guns.

Such a large number of automatic weapons are the nemesis of hand-to-hand combat!

At present, the four infantry squadrons of the Ishikawa Brigade are responsible for the defense of Qingshan Town on all sides, and the four infantry artillery and the supply squadron are defending the town.

The machine gun squadron was deployed in a dispersed manner, but Major Ishikawa deliberately strengthened the southern defense at this time.

He deployed half of the heavy machine guns of the machine gun squadron here in the south.

The guard company was still advancing rapidly, and the soldiers of the front squad had already rushed to a position less than 200 meters away from the outer positions.

Chu Yu didn't react at all after seeing the Japanese army firing flares, so he began to order the troops to advance faster.
