Along the traffic artery from Shexian County in northern Hebei to Licheng, at this time, the fierce battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army was actually far more exaggerated than what Lei Dasheng, the leader of the First Independent Regiment, reported to the headquarters.
Of course, things turn around.
This time, more of the cruelty was used against the Japanese.
As the absolute elite main force of a team, this time with the help of collective military marriage in the base area to paralyze the Japanese army, the leader of the first regiment, Lei Dasheng, personally led the troops, mixed with the mechanized assault troops, and quickly made circuitous interspersions. The troops were inserted across the Shexian County with great momentum. Between to Licheng.
After the Eighth Route Army's siege of Licheng began, the old Japanese man Okacun did not dare to delay and quickly ordered reinforcements from all parties to reinforce Licheng.
As an important defensive city for the Japanese army, Shexian County had a large number of troops stationed there, so reinforcements were naturally sent out quickly to advance towards Licheng.
The battle between the two sides started soon. The order Lei Dasheng received this time was to block the Japanese reinforcements in Shexian County.
"The old regiment commander gave an absolute order not to let any of the Japanese soldiers rush to Licheng!"
In order to achieve this combat mission, after analysis at a military meeting held at the regiment headquarters, Lei Dasheng believed:
"It is true that soldiers never tire of deceit at any time. In this war, you cannot play your cards according to common sense, otherwise you can think of it and the Japanese can think of it, and naturally you will not be able to achieve the goal of winning by surprise.
If judged according to conventional rules, since we want to block the Japanese reinforcements from Shexian County, the best way is to use the terrain and terrain to launch layer-by-layer blocking in the middle to delay the Japanese army.
but……"
Lei Dasheng changed the topic, raised his voice and said, "This kind of battle is quite satisfactory and not worth watching."
The first battalion commander asked: "Commander, how are we going to fight?"
Lei Dasheng thought for a moment, then immediately came up with a plan, and said domineeringly: "The best way to prevent mice from coming out of the hole is not to set up a fence outside the hole, but to directly seal the hole completely.
No matter how many rats there are, we can block it in so that it can’t even poke its head out. "
"Fight! Don't stop for a moment. Take all our wealth and hit the defensive position built by the Japanese outside Shexian County in one go. Seize the Japs' position and block it directly at the gate of Shexian. See if the Japs are still there. How to send troops for reinforcements?"
Of course, according to the old tradition of a team, before the battle begins, intelligence comes first.
Regarding the situation of the Japanese defense positions outside Shexian County, Lei Dasheng had already investigated clearly.
"The fortifications near Shexian County are not shoddy projects. According to the news sent back by our intelligence personnel, the fortifications built by the Japanese there are solid concrete structures, and there are even bunkers and reinforced concrete structures. Gun tower fortifications.
It is definitely inappropriate to force a critical battle.
In this way, we tried to penetrate in three waves of troops.
The first team, disguised as a caravan, tried to enter Shexian County to see if they could pry open the Japs' fortifications and take the opportunity to break in.
The second team, the uniforms of the Japanese and puppet troops we brought over this time came in handy. They disguised themselves as a remnant of the Japanese and puppet troops. They were blocked by the Eighth Route Army troops along the way and were forced to withdraw to Shexian County.
In addition, the relevant numbers of this unit are based on the relevant numbers of the Japanese army that we detected before.
The comrade who leads the team must be able to speak Japanese and cannot be exposed easily.
If these two waves cannot deceive the Japanese defenses, then the third wave will be carried out, and the assault team will lead the team to try to carry out sneak attacks and penetrations at night.
During the operation, communication links were ensured at all times, and the heavy artillery we pulled over with trucks was built in advance to coordinate with the commando members at any time to conduct remote guided bombardment.
Be sure to break through the enemy's defenses with one blow.
If you miss this one, you will be in trouble if you try to open the devil's hard bastard shell later! "
It has to be said that after two years of growth, First Regiment Commander Lei Dasheng is also quite good at applying various flexible tactics.
He particularly admired the word "strange" put forward by the old regiment leader Kong Jie in terms of tactical thinking.
Think about what the enemy cannot think about, and attack what the enemy cannot defend against.
Taking the enemy by surprise and attacking him unprepared is the strategy for controlling the enemy in military law.
In the end, the battle broke out more smoothly than Lei Dasheng expected.
The caravan did not successfully fool the Japs. The Japs officer guarding the city claimed that military security had been strengthened during this period and all unidentified caravans were prohibited from entering rashly.
However, the follow-up was in a hurry. The soldiers disguised themselves as remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops, and they had completely verifiable corresponding numbers to deceive the Japanese army.
Sure enough, he successfully deceived the Japanese defense fortifications.
No matter how strong the little devil's concrete defenses are, once the Eighth Route Army soldiers get inside, the battle is basically no longer suspense.
The assault team took the opportunity to launch an attack, and long-range artillery launched bombardment under the guidance of the bombardment coordinates.
Less than half an hour before and after the battle, before the main force of the Japanese army in Shexian County had time to come up with reinforcements, the large number of concrete defenses built on the outside were completely occupied by the Eighth Route Army troops.
After the elite Japanese troops who rushed out of Shexian County launched an attack, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
At this time, the soldiers of the first regiment occupied the defense fortifications on the outer line of Shexian County, which could be said to have blocked the little Japanese at the door.
However, the fortifications built by the Japanese outside Shexian County were extremely strong. There were a large number of concrete bunkers, gun towers, and bunkers. The Japanese machine guns and artillery could not do anything at all.
Interestingly, the little devils built two-way fortifications, perhaps to guard against attacks launched by the Eighth Route Army after detouring from the back.
A group of Eighth Route Army soldiers only needed to turn around, and the various concrete fortifications left by the Japanese became the best bunkers.
As the Xinxing Detachment of the 129th Division combat force in the Taihang Base Area, it is an absolutely elite unit.
The firepower configuration of the regiment is so powerful, let alone the little devils, even the soldiers of the regiment feel like they are dreaming every time they think about the equipment situation in the team two years ago.
There were only one regiment of troops, not to mention too many, and more than thirty heavy machine guns of various types were displayed at one go.
In addition to the Type 92 heavy machine guns seized from the Japanese, they also included some Maxim heavy machine guns and heavy machine guns purchased from the United States.
The ammunition is quite abundant, and a heavy machine gun is equipped with at least 5,000 rounds of ammunition.
In addition, the so-called strongest enemy is the best teacher.
In this regard, the first team learned a lot from the little devil.
In addition to the bullets specially equipped with heavy machine guns, the soldiers of a team also learned from the little devils. The bullets they usually carry on the battlefield are divided into two parts. One part is for their own shooting, and the other part is used as machine gun ammunition and can be provided to the enemy at any time. Machine gun use.
If you include the machine gun bullets brought by the soldiers around the heavy machine gun, each heavy machine gun can even have more than 10,000 rounds of bullets.
More than thirty such heavy machine guns are placed inside various machine gun fortifications and bunkers that are almost completely enclosed and absolutely solid reinforced concrete structures.
The fire snake was spitting wildly, outside the bunker, within the empty three to five hundred meter shooting range. As long as there was a flesh and blood body, the bullets hit it like raindrops, and there was no possibility of survival.
The Japanese and puppet troops who rushed from Shexian County probably did not understand the current situation. After a blind charge, they left more than a hundred corpses on the spot.
This battle basically took place simultaneously with the Eighth Route Army's siege of Licheng.
When the order from the Japanese army headquarters was issued, the Japanese army in Shexian County was ordered to quickly pass the communication line to reinforce the direction of Licheng.
The main force of a field regiment in Shexian County had no choice but to try again to attack the fortifications stationed by the regiment.
There is no other way. The only thing to blame is that the fortifications built by the little devils were carefully positioned.
The important transportation line from Shexian County to Licheng was completely blocked.
The Japanese reinforcements in Shexian County want to reinforce Licheng, and they carry a large amount of baggage and heavy weapons. Now these blockades are the only way to go.
The offensive and defensive battle between the two sides began immediately.
In terms of organization, the Japanese army's regiment corresponds to the regiment-level combat unit of the Eighth Route Army.
However, according to the situation in previous years, a fully-formed Japanese army regiment is equipped with three infantry brigades, plus baggage troops, artillery troops, and various combat personnel directly under the regiment. The standard number is about 3,800.
Some wings even have nearly 5,000 people.
As for the main combat regiment of the Eighth Route Army, it only had more than a thousand people and only two or three thousand people.
Just in terms of military strength, when fighting against the same organization, the Japanese team has an absolute advantage. This is where the little Japanese and thieves are.
In addition, the Japanese army's firepower configuration is also extremely powerful.
According to the standard equipment of the elite troops, there are 36 Type 92 heavy machine guns, more than 100 light machine guns, and more than 100 grenades.
In addition, there are some specially strengthened field regiments, which are even equipped with an artillery squadron equipped with infantry artillery and mountain artillery.
The level of equipment can be said to be quite exaggerated.
Even the most well-equipped Central Army troops, with the same establishment, are far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of equipment level.
This is another place for little devils and thieves.
Before the war of aggression against China began, the Japanese had already obtained a large amount of information about the equipment level of the Chinese army.
They organized the firepower allocation of their troops accordingly, and even arranged it according to the strategy of restraining the Chinese army's firepower allocation.
To put it bluntly, it is to comprehensively suppress and specifically deal with the Chinese army.
When it comes to the equipment development of a team, Kong Jie also treats others in his own way.
The firepower allocation and the application of various collaborative tactics were based on the idea of restraining the commonly used equipment of the Japanese army.
In terms of squad-level firepower configuration:
The commonly used support artillery used by the Japanese is the Type 89 grenade, with an effective range of about 500 meters.
The main combat squad of a team is equipped with 50 and 60 mortars, which can comprehensively suppress the Japanese grenades in terms of power, range, and accuracy.
Even the local army units belonging to a team are at least equipped with 50 small artillery, which can also suppress the Japanese grenade launchers.
In addition, in terms of close-range firepower supplement, the soldiers of a team are equipped with submachine guns and rifle grenades. Each squad is also equipped with 1 to 2 Garand semi-automatic rifles, which are used by special shooters to destroy important enemy firepower points. .
Even in battles between squadrons and companies, and between squadrons and camps, the little devils still couldn't take advantage.
Whether it is light and heavy machine guns, various types of artillery, or even infantry artillery, there is still no shortage of what the Japanese have.
In terms of the number of artillery pieces alone, these are just the second-rate Japanese troops of the security army, and they were completely crushed by the elite main force of a team.
For example, the equipment of the current group is very sophisticated:
In addition to a large number of light and heavy machine guns, various 50mm and 60cm small guns, in terms of larger-caliber artillery, there are also Type 92 infantry guns, Type 41 mountain guns, including some 75mm howitzers, and Jin-made 82mm mortars. etc.
Another team also specially developed a tactic of using a more flexible 60mm mortar to knock out the Japanese's more cumbersome artillery positions.
Including special tactics of using assault artillery to guide rear-mounted heavy artillery bombardment.
The Japanese army, which had once been proud of its more sophisticated firepower configuration than the Central Army's troops, suddenly discovered with shock when facing a group of main forces:
Once upon a time, the beggar team had backward equipment and scarce ammunition, but now the firepower configuration can even crush them!
And in the so-called fierce and fierce confrontation that followed.
The soldiers of the first regiment fought heartily, and the commander of the first regiment, Lei Dasheng, raised his arms and shouted: "The old regiment leader is absolutely right, this time we are building a slaughterhouse, killing Japanese, and killing more Japanese. This is our combat goal this time.
Although this little devil is a bastard, we have to admit that these devils really don't take their lives seriously. When a war breaks out, they really dare to charge!
After the battle begins, no one should be so fucking polite to the Japanese. Just use your bullets and greet them as much as you can.
This is the battle of prosperity that we all dream of fighting! "
In order to stimulate the soldiers' will to kill the enemy, the commander of the first regiment specially ordered a game. What game was it?
“When the city of Nanjing was broken, those little sons of bitches carried out a massacre, and some bastards even played a killing contest to see who could kill more innocent people.
Today we will collect some interest for the countless villagers who died tragically in Nanjing.
Let's use each company as the basic unit. After the battle, we will compare which company has killed the most little Japs.
The old regiment leader said that the company that excels in this battle will be equipped with a special batch of American equipment. Whether you can get it depends on your own abilities. "
kill--
The soldiers were all inspired and fought bravely to kill the enemy after the battle began.
Of course, killing the Japanese is the goal, and avoiding casualties of one's own troops is the principle.
Everyone knows this clearly, and the tactics are very simple. It's a bit like waiting for the enemy, just guarding the various fortifications of the concrete structure, waiting for the little devils to charge.
When the Japanese came up, they were greeted with a hail of bullets and artillery shells.
As soon as the Japs retreated, everyone quickly cleaned up the battlefield and continued to wait for the Japs' next wave of attacks.
As for the Japanese tactics and the methods that can be used to attack fortresses, the soldiers have long been familiar with them.
The sentries scouting on the top of the turret relayed news at any time, and everyone patiently played a defensive tug-of-war with the little devils.
Anyway, we will kill as many of your devils as they come.
If you have the ability, you little devil will knock all these concrete bunker turrets open, or you will use up all the bullets we have.
Otherwise, even a half-Japanese man wouldn't be able to take a single step through a group of fortifications.
As for reinforcing Licheng, don’t even think about it...
