Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2173 After the First Battle
The battle began to go to another extreme—the contest between snipers was more about the psychological endurance of the two sides. At this time, it can be seen that the sniper training methods of the Xuebing Army are more advanced than the training methods of the Japanese army.Not to mention Zhang Shaoyong, as a Li Guang-level sniper, he can not only be alone, but also has the ability to influence the outcome of a small battle.If he hadn't shot and killed You Teng and a small captain of You Teng's squadron just now, the defense line of Luan Qingming's department has been pierced by the Japanese army.Even Feng Taixue, a rookie who has only received sniper training for less than two months, once he devotes himself to fighting, he also shows a good tactical quality.

The frequency of gunshots in a contest between snipers is not high, but as long as there are gunshots, there will inevitably be blood.And out of ten gunshots, at least half of them will take away a living life.Agile skills, a keen sense of smell, and a calm mind are the basic qualities a sniper must possess.In addition, the standard that distinguishes an excellent sniper from an ordinary sniper lies in their ability to lurk and seize opportunities.After the initial fierce exchange of fire, after the two sides tested each other's details, the gunfire on the frontal battlefield became sparse.After Tajima realized the sharpness of the snipers of the Xuebing Army, he ordered to further shrink the defense line, stick to the enemy but no longer take the initiative to attack.He was ordered to open the way for the main force, and his main task was to test out the real combat power of the Santai guerrilla column.And after the contact battle just now, he has already obtained the information he wants-the three Thai guerrilla columns have good weapons and equipment, and the quality of the soldiers is not bad, but they lack the experience of fighting large-scale positional warfare.Now I want to add one more point, Hu Shisan attaches great importance to special operations, and the quality of snipers in this department is higher than that of the imperial army.Having completed the most important task, Tajima didn't want to sacrifice too many troops here, so he turned around and pinned his hopes on the aviation unit, hoping to defeat the current student army with the help of the aviation unit.

In the contest between snipers, the one with the highest casualty rate is the machine gunner or the officer.This is the innate responsibility of the sniper battalion for war needs. Of course, because the opponent also has snipers, it is not easy to kill important military targets such as machine gunners and officers. A bad one may cost your own life. .

At this time, Luan Qingming realized that there was a problem with his command, because as time went on, their initiative was gradually losing.Considering that this was only the vanguard of the Japanese army, and there was still the main force behind it, he felt relieved, knowing that if they continued to fight, it would only be more and more unfavorable to them.He was decisive, and when he realized this, he was about to retreat. The chief of staff, Xiao Bing, ran up to him and reported to him that he had received a telegram from the general headquarters that the Japanese army released about a squadron from the airport in Yangzhou. Fighter planes, the target is likely to be them, so let them retreat immediately instead of fighting.At the moment, Luan Qingming didn't hesitate anymore, leaving a guerrilla squad to block the possible counterattack of the Japanese army, and then ordered the headquarters to retreat to the Jiangtai border area in units of squadrons.

Having a geographical advantage is always an advantage. Relying on the familiarity of the terrain, Luan Qingming's troops quietly withdrew from the battlefield. When Tajima reacted, there were only thirty or so guerrillas left on the battlefield. , and after confirming that the main force had withdrawn from the battlefield, they immediately disintegrated into pieces and disappeared in the vast field. This small battle came to an end.

Although the scale of this contact war was small, but because it was the first battle fought between Xuebing Army and Japan after the Xuebing Army launched a counterattack, it finally gained a high historical status. It was called the "Autumn Counterattack" launched by the Xuebing Army. This opened the prelude to the full-scale counterattack of the Xuebing Army and the Chinese army to regain their homeland.

The significance of this battle to the Japanese army was also far-reaching. It made Takashi Sakai realize that after several years of development, the cadet army has truly matured, and even a mere guerrilla armed force has sharp weapons against the heavy armored vehicles of the imperial army. .There is no doubt that the Type Zero armored vehicle is the tank with the most superior performance that the Japanese army has so far. Whether it is Takashi Sakai or the senior Japanese military officials of the other three armies, they all had high hopes for this series of tanks, hoping to be able to Use them to offset the superiority of the cavalry's armored units.After experiencing the Battle of Baozhuang, Takashi Sakai realized that the Type Zero tank was not as powerful as the experts of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries described, even a peripheral guerrilla armed force under the command of the Xuebing Army could easily deal with It strikes fatally.

Takashi Sakai's original strategy was to take advantage of his strength and fight steadily, and finally forced the Santai guerrilla column to fight them in a certain place.After the Battle of Baozhuang, he found that the imperial army had no advantage in terms of ground forces alone, and realized that if he did so, the campaign of suppression might be dragged on for a long time, so he decided to implement the Sanko policy like Nishio Shouzo, through The foundation of destroying the Santai guerrilla column forced Hu Shisan to take the initiative to fight.Although Takashi Sakai realized that the Santai guerrilla column was not as poorly equipped as ordinary guerrilla troops, he still did not regard it as an equal opponent. Therefore, he thought in his bones that if he fought positional warfare, the imperial army would definitely have the upper hand, so the focus of his decision-making was Still focusing on how to force the Santai guerrilla column to engage in a decisive battle.

Sakai Takashi deliberately wants to force the Santai guerrilla column to fight a decisive battle, but he doesn't know that his opponent Hu Shisan also thinks the same way.Sakai Takashi didn't know that although the Santai guerrilla column bore the name of the guerrilla, in fact, whether it was equipment, training methods or others, it was actually following the path of the regular army of the student army.But if you want to find out a little difference, you may only be able to nitpick from the heavy weapons and equipment-the regular military division level and above of the Xuebing Army will be equipped with a certain number of stacked tanks and self-propelled artillery. The number of registered soldiers in the Santai Guerrilla Column It has exceeded 2 people, and has reached the size of a C-level army, but they do not have tank troops, and their artillery only has more than ten mountain cannons captured from the Japanese army.Hu Shisan himself was not born in the regular army. He was born in the secret service department of Hutong. It is said that no matter how talented he is in military affairs, he must have a growth process before he can grow into a qualified general.But in the Xuebing Army, all miracles are possible.The whole set of army building methods sorted out by the General Staff of the Xuebing Army allowed him to intervene in the military as a layman, but he hardly went astray. This is his forte.So to everyone's admiration, he completed the identity replacement from a national hero to a qualified general in just the blink of an eye.
