Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 229 The Japanese army is also changing (a change!)

Wang Ping said appreciatively: "The political commissar's analysis is good. The key to counterattack and regain the third line of defense is to regain the hill behind the third line of defense. As long as the Japanese army wins the third line of defense, they will definitely deploy heavy troops to defend the hill!"

"It's still the same sentence just now, if I am sure to control the casualties to one company and take back the mountain from the devils, is the risk worth taking!"

This time Cheng Xiao didn't hesitate, and answered very positively.

"As long as you can control the casualties, even if you can't take back the mountain, but as long as you can wipe out twice the number of Japanese and puppet troops, I agree with you to take this risk!"

Wang Ping replied confidently: "There are only twice as many Japanese and puppet troops. That's too little. Political commissar, chief of staff. This afternoon, Yang Xiong created a miracle for us. He fought the devils on the frontal battlefield with a three-to-one casualty ratio." .Tonight, I will also create a miracle for you. With less than one company of casualties, take back the highlands on the top of the mountain, and wipe out all the troops of the devils stationed on the top of the mountain."

After taking down the second line of defense of the Independent Regiment with two infantry squadrons and two companies of the Imperial Association Army, Major General Ono did not have much smile on his face.

Because, according to this rate of loss, by the time he reaches the independent regiment station, he will lose at least two infantry brigades, or even three infantry brigades.

Although there were enough troops in hand, Cheng could bear the loss.

However, Major General Ono couldn't bear it.

In Ono's mind, the life of the Imperial Japanese Army is more than twice as expensive as that of the Chinese Army.

From Ono's point of view, exchanging the lives of two Chinese soldiers with one imperial army would be a big loss for the imperial army, not to mention the one-to-one casualty ratio.

Therefore, Ono could not accept such a large casualty.

"We need to further change the attack plan to reduce our casualties!" Major General Ono, without any smile on his face, ordered while staring at the chief of staff and the surrounding subordinates.

Zuo Qiushui, who suffered the most, was the first to stand up: "We can increase the proportion of grenades in the offensive troops. Many imperial troops were killed by the grenades and grenades thrown by the Eighth Route Army during the offensive. Because of the terrain, the imperial army It is impossible to counterattack with grenades in the attack, the only thing that can be used is grenades!"

"As long as the number of grenade grenades accompanying the team's attack is large enough, we can use grenade grenades to counter the Eighth Route Army's grenades and grenades. Instead of the imperial army rushing forward ten meters under the rain of grenades to counterattack with grenades, we will lose a lot Imperial Warriors!"

Major General Ono was very satisfied with this answer, and a rare smile appeared on his face: "Yoxi, Qiushui-kun is indeed the best military officer in the Empire of Japan, and his analysis hits the nail on the head!"

"Chief of Staff, for the next attack, each infantry squadron will be accompanied by thirty grenadiers to launch the attack!"

Another brigade leader immediately stood up and added: "General, we also need to increase the proportion of machine guns in the offensive force."

"Our brigade is equipped with the latest Type [-] light machine gun developed by the Empire. Its performance is much better than the original machine gun. It is very suitable for the machine gunner to use the machine gun in his hand as a submachine gun!"

"After the offensive troops got close to the defense line of the Independent Regiment, the heavy machine guns covering the attack could not shoot with all their strength as they did at the beginning in order to avoid accidental injury!"

"At this time, it is necessary to rely on the firepower of the offensive troops to suppress the firepower of the defenders, and increasing the proportion of Type [-] machine guns in the offensive troops is the best solution!"

"Yo Xi, this proposal is also very good!" Major General Ono was very satisfied and gave the other party an affirmative answer.

Then he stared at the chief of staff and ordered: "Record this opinion, the next attack must learn a lesson, each infantry squadron is equipped with twice the number of machine guns to attack with the team!"

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Ono stood up.

"I have an idea here. For the next attack, an infantry squad of the Imperial Army and a company of the Royal Association Army form an offensive echelon. We send three offensive echelons at a time, with an interval of 50 meters between them, and continuously attack the independent regiment's defense line. Put constant pressure on the defenders!"

The chief of staff's eyes lit up and replied: "In this case, the casualties of the imperial army will definitely be further reduced!"

"The time for the imperial army to take down a line of defense from the Independence Regiment will be further shortened!" Zuo Qiushui affirmed with his eyes shining brightly.

"The independent regiment's defensive positions are limited in strength, continuous attacks can further force them to use the hidden firepower of the machine gun bunker in advance!"

"In addition, the attacking force is not strong, and the proportion of the imperial army is even smaller. After these machine gun bunkers are exposed, the bombers can directly attack without waiting for the attacking force to retreat!"

"Then try it! Chief of Staff, immediately mobilize troops, use all the proposals just now, and launch an attack on the third line of defense of the Independence Regiment!" Major General Ono did not hesitate, and directly ordered the battle in his non-negotiable tone. Order.

The two-hundred-day puppet army had an offensive echelon, lined up in loose offensive skirmish lines, with an interval of 50 meters in front and back, like three yellow waves, overwhelmingly pressing towards the third line of defense.

"No, the devil has changed!" The trainer Wang Liang shouted first, and his brows subconsciously frowned into a big Sichuan character.

"The Japanese and puppet troops dispatched three echelons at the same time to launch an attack at the same time. The devils don't give us time to reinforce the positions!" Zhang Yunshan also frowned.

Then he ordered to the communication soldier behind him: "Contact the third company commander immediately, I want to talk to him."

After receiving the receiver handed over by the communicator, Zhang Yunshan did not hesitate, and ordered directly: "Commander Yang, the devil's attack this time will definitely be very violent. Three levels of attacking troops will attack your position in turn. You must be prepared to fight hard and fight hard." Preparations for continuous combat."

"I'll transfer the [-]rd Defense Company to you right now, and hide directly in the traffic trench behind the position. As long as there is a need, with a word from you, the [-]rd Defense Company can go all the way up."

"There are still three machine gun bunkers. You can decide when to shoot. However, in any case, you must repel this round of Japanese attack before you can give up your position."

"Otherwise, as soon as you retreat, the Japanese puppet army will catch up, stare at you, and beat you to a crushing battle!"

Putting down the phone receiver, Zhang Yunshan raised his binoculars again and stared at the battlefield.

"Da da da!" At this time, the battlefield had begun to exchange fire.

The crooked hands equipped by the third company and the recruit company used guerrilla warfare to harvest the lives of the Japanese and puppet troops as much as possible.

But this time, guerrilla warfare did not save the machine gunner's life as before.

After having a sufficient number of grenadiers, the Japanese team leader directly divided the six grenadiers into a shelling team, and only stared at one machine gun on the position at a time.

As a burst of six grenades exploded near the machine gun position at the same time, the violent explosion sound could almost be said to be accurate.

Even if the machine gun cannot be directly destroyed, the two machine gunners in charge of the machine gun must be either dead or injured.

Thus, as soon as the attack started, the battle became intense.

The machine gunners of the two companies continued to be reduced, and eight crooked machine guns were blown up.

After finally waiting for the Japanese and puppet troops to rush to the front of the formation for a hundred meters, the commander of the third company immediately ordered the riflemen to shoot to disperse the Japanese offensive firepower and reduce the pressure on the machine guns.

But at this moment, a broadcast that surprised everyone in the independent group appeared.

More than a dozen devil machine gunners suddenly appeared from behind the Imperial Association Army holding Type [-] light machine guns, and then fired at the third company's position.

Excellent shooting performance and a total ammunition capacity of [-] rounds allow these light machine guns to maximize their power on the battlefield, continuously providing fire support to infantry.

The swishing bullets flew back almost close to the edge of the position because of the short shooting distance.

When many fighters are counterattacking, as long as they slow down, they will be smashed into a sieve by the incoming bullets!
