The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 081 Battle Prelude 2 (Please subscribe to collect safflower!)

(This story is purely fictitious, please do not imitate!)

In Wu Aihua's view, although the task is relatively heavy and even a bit risky, it is still worth fighting for.The Marine Battalion of the independent detachment has 1078 personnel, 60 48 mortars, 48 ​​squad machine guns, and 52 light machine guns.The battalion reconnaissance platoon, guard platoon, squad leader, and deputy squad leader are all equipped with submachine guns, and each battalion has more than 100 submachine guns.The combined heavy firepower and automatic firepower of the three battalions far exceeds the heavy equipment of a division of the Cantonese Army, and even surpasses the heavy equipment of a Cantonese Army!

Although the 1st Marine Regiment is equipped with 18 75mm mountain cannons, they are too heavy and not suitable for mobile warfare. Wu Aihua deployed them on the outskirts of Meizhou, ready to bombard Meizhou at any time.

Historically, the Cantonese army belonged to the "peaceful era" from 1935 to the first half of 1936, and there were no battles to fight.Before the large army went to eastern Guangdong to suppress the bandits, many senior officers, including many senior officers, had almost the same opinion as Chen Jitang, that is, the attack direction of the red bandits should be southwestern Fujian, not eastern Guangdong; Lu Dajun's encirclement and suppression was almost exhausted, so how could he send troops out of eastern Guangdong.Even if the commander of the Red Bandit is really a lunatic, does he really dare to directly face his 5 divisions of almost 8 troops?

Because of these factors, the enemy's vigilance is not high.In Changtan Town, the reconnaissance platoon of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Marine Regiment discovered that the enemy had built a heavy machine gun fortification at the head of the town, but only one enemy was on duty in the heavy machine gun fortification, and this enemy was not lying next to the heavy machine gun. Instead, he held a rifle and slept against the sandbags of the heavy machine gun fortifications.

About 10 meters away from the heavy machine gun position, there is a bungalow with lights and the sound of stacking Pai Gow. Needless to say, the soldiers of the Cantonese Army are gambling.

"Go!" Luo Shengquan, the reconnaissance platoon leader of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Marine Regiment, made a gesture, asking the 1st Reconnaissance Squad to deal with the guards in the town.

Luo Shengquan participated in the one-month training of the Special Operations Brigade, and learned many unheard-of skills. However, because the Special Operations Brigade finally fixed its establishment, Luo Shengquan and hundreds of other people were assigned to the reconnaissance units of each regiment and battalion.

The special operations brigade has a fixed establishment, which is also Wu Aihua's choice after careful consideration.Special operations have never been won by numbers, mostly by small troops and squads.Even in later generations, when there are so many training methods, there are not many special warfare units. They are organized at the military region level, and only use the title of special warfare brigade (regiment level).

Of course, this era belongs to the era of war, and special operations forces can be deployed more, but it does not mean that the headquarters' special operations brigade will be expanded without limit.Wu Aihua's idea is that when the scale of the army expands in the future, a division-level organization is required. In the troops directly under the division-level or group army level, a special warfare brigade can also be established. People like Luo Shengquan, just right It is the backbone of the special warfare units of each division and group army.

The squad formation of the independent detachment is the same regardless of any unit, 12 people, 3 three-man combat teams plus a three-man machine gun team, except that the machine gun team of the field troops is equipped with a Czech light machine gun, while Guards, reconnaissance, special operations and other troops are equipped with only one mg1 squad machine gun.

In Wu Aihua's view, a squad is a miniature war machine, and the quality of this machine is directly related to the outcome of the entire war.

With a wave of Luo Shengquan's gesture, the three combat teams of the 1st reconnaissance squad formed into three formations, leaning over their bodies, and quickly groping along the edge of the plants towards the gate of the town a hundred meters away.The machine gun team also followed suit, ready to provide fire support to the comrades at any time!

"Huh!" The Cantonese soldier holding the rifle in the heavy machine gun fortification must have been too tired. The people from the first reconnaissance squad hadn't woken up in front of him. Cut unconscious, huh, huh, continue to sleep!

The other two groups of people rushed into the bungalow immediately, and after hearing a burst of noise in the bungalow, they returned to calm.Then, a soldier walked out of the room and gestured ok to the distance.

"All ministries will attack according to this mission, and the stubborn enemy will be killed!" Wang Weiqing saw that the reconnaissance platoon had succeeded, and immediately commanded the 1st and 2nd companies to rush into the town.

"Bang!" Although the soldiers of the 1st Battalion were careful and cautious, the footsteps of hundreds of people in the town inevitably did not alarm the sentries of the Cantonese Army. Only a gunshot was heard, and the Cantonese Army found out!

"Bang bang bang..." The sound of gunfire alarmed more enemy sentries, and for a while, Changtan became lively.

However, the gunshots from the enemy sentinels had little effect on the independent detachment. If the independent detachment only entered the town with a few dozen people, the national army might still be able to resist for a while. However, the independent detachment had more than 450 people entering the town, and Each squad has a light machine gun, which is enough to deal with a battalion of the Cantonese Army. In fact, even if the two sides defend hard, the battalion of the Cantonese Army is not the opponent of Wang Weiqing's two companies.

"Da da, da da..." After the independent detachment entered the town, they all turned into a platoon-sized attack group. As soon as they saw the enemy rushing out of the barracks, the seven machine guns in the front immediately swept over.

"Give up your guns and don't kill them! The Red Army treats prisoners preferentially—" As soon as the machine guns swept past, other Red Army soldiers who were fine shouted slogans.

"Boom boom boom..." Suddenly, the enemy's heavy machine gun position fired at the soldiers of the 1st battalion, 1st company and 3rd row who were charging!

"Lie down!" Platoon leader Xin Zhiyang shouted immediately when he saw a tongue of fire flashing a hundred meters ahead.However, the speed of the machine gun bullets was too fast. At this moment, several soldiers walking in the middle of the street were swept to the ground!

"Da da da……"

"Da da da……"

"Da da da……"

"Da da da……"

The Guangdong army's machine guns only had time to fire a shuttle of bullets, and the 4 mg42 squad machine guns in this platoon let out a roar!

Xin Zhiyang saw that the firepower of the Cantonese army was suppressed by several machine guns of our army, and immediately waved the submachine gun in his hand, "Comrades, charge!" He took the lead and rushed towards the enemy's machine gun position.

Behind Xin Zhiyang, there were 4 combat groups following closely.

With the help of a meat case (used for selling pork) on the street, Xin Zhiyang took off two grenades from his waist, pulled the fire ring of one of them, and pointed towards the machine gun position of the Cantonese army built by sandbags 50 meters away. throw away!

Just as the first grenade was out of his hand, Xin Zhiyang picked up the second one, pulled the fire ring again, and threw it out again!

"boom……"

"boom……"

In the enclosure surrounded by sandbags, two balls of flames burst out in succession. Even if the Cantonese army inside the sandbags were made of steel and iron, they must have been deformed.

"Platoon leader, your bomb-throwing skills are getting better and better!" The soldier lying under the meat table flattered the platoon leader!

"I'm not very good, can I be a platoon leader?" Xin Zhiyang said, seeing that the enemy's machine gun position was completely scrapped, he immediately waved his hand, leaving a few to take care of the wounded, and the others attacked forward again!

The heavy machine guns of the Cantonese Army caused "heavy casualties" in one company and three platoons. What Xin Zhiyang thought in his mind now was to wipe out more enemies in order to "make up for the mistakes".

However, there were only so many enemies in Changtan Town. Xin Zhiyang's platoon was blocked by two machine guns, and after a few minutes of delay, the entire Cantonese army in the town had been wiped out.

The Battle of Changtan, in the Battle of Eastern Guangdong, was only the prelude to an attack!Wu Aihua, who is more than ten kilometers away, has been observing every aspect of the battle through the "live broadcast" of the holographic map. Even the encounter and sacrifice of Xin Zhiyang's platoon, Wu Aihua has a panoramic view.

In Wu Aihua's view, whether it was Xin Zhiyang, Wang Weiqing, or Yang Guiqing, they did not make any mistakes in command during the Battle of Changtan.The sudden appearance of the enemy's heavy machine guns caused 1 deaths, 3 serious injury and 2 minor injuries to the 1 company and 3 platoons. The "significant loss", including other sacrifices, was due to insufficient training and lack of tactical awareness after the expansion of the troops. , caused by the deformation of tactical actions; or it can also be seen as the first battle after the expansion, and the soldiers are still a little uncomfortable.

Of course, this battalion-level battle in Changtan will definitely quickly become a training material for the independent detachment: how to reduce losses for the troops after a surprise attack, and how to keep the soldiers on the battlefield vigilant!

Although the battle in Changtan broke out suddenly, the exchange of fire was short!Even the enemy battalion commander had not had time to report to the division headquarters in Jiaoling City, but it did not prevent the Cantonese Army in Jiaoling City from knowing that there was a problem with Changtan!

In the dead of night, the sound of gunfire was heard far away.When the gunshots in Changtan were the most intense, the 9th Division of the Cantonese Army happened to have a patrol team patrolling the city wall. When the division commander Miao Peinan left, he greeted Cheng Yule, the commander of the 17th brigade. Be careful not to let the braided bird be caught by someone with ulterior motives.

"Squad leader, listen, it sounds like gunshots from Changtan!" A soldier of the Cantonese Army with sharp ears was the first to notice the abnormality!

"Da da da..." The squad leader listened carefully, just in time to hear the sound of the machine gun used by the mg42 squad! "Changtan was attacked by the enemy, go and report to the company commander on duty!"

Because this gunshot is definitely not the sound of heavy machine guns or light machine guns owned by the Guangdong Army.

By the way, due to reasons such as outdated habits or awareness, in China's old army, after the advent of light machine guns, a considerable part of the army was not equipped with light machine guns in time for squad support firepower.They believe that it is better to buy more heavy machine guns because of this.The heavy machine gun has a long range and strong firepower, and its role in defense is definitely equivalent to a cannon!

If all squads are armed with light machine guns, it will be unaffordable in terms of funds.

After the company commander on duty got the information, 10 minutes had passed. When the company commander on duty reported to Cheng Yule, commander of the 17th Brigade, the city defense commander, 20 minutes had passed. The Battle of Changtan was actually over!

"Quickly, call Changtan and ask what's going on?" Cheng Yule was not flustered, because he didn't think there would be any moths around Jiaoling.

Called, got through, but no one answered.Changtan suddenly became a dangerous signal!

"Order: The 1st Regiment sends a battalion to Changtan to check and report the situation quickly!" Cheng Yule did not dare to be negligent. The division commander has just left, and he has only been the city defense commander for two days. thing.
