Although the number was small, Zhou Wen used the large-depth offensive tactics that were common on the Soviet-German battlefield a few years later.
Others use groups of tanks to carry out assaults and penetrate deep into the enemy. Zhou Wen could only rely on the bravery of his brothers to play the role of tank assault.
As for how to expand the breakthrough and completely annihilate the enemy, that is the task of the follow-up troops.
So now when Zhao Chengyu's sword team was gathering the Japanese army again, General Zhao Chengyu took the lead, leading more than 500 warriors holding their swords high, and instantly rushed towards the undecided Japanese army like a huge wave.
This is also the reason why when Zhou Wen killed Suzuki Ryo's Chinese army, no Japanese troops came back to rescue them, because they were now facing an attack from more than 500 swords and could no longer protect themselves.
If this hand-to-hand battle between 500 northwest troops and 300 Japanese troops had happened a few days ago, even if the bravery and will of these swordsmen were not inferior to the Japanese troops, the little devils' concise and effective stabbing skills and tacit teamwork would have made the battle between the two sides impossible. The results are unpredictable.
We must know that in history, among the more than 500 sword teams led by General Zhao Chengyu, after the night attack, less than a hundred people were able to leave the battlefield alive, and almost everyone from the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander on down was injured, and the guard battalion commander also He died on the spot, and the company commander and platoon commander were basically all sacrificed, which is equivalent to the fact that all the most elite veterans of the 109th Brigade were basically killed or injured.
But now, the shadows of these remnants of the Japanese 3rd Battalion have not disappeared after experiencing the sword baptism of the Xifengkou Wang Changhai Regiment. Later, they were awakened from sleep and were stunned by Zhou Wen's mercenary group. After coming in and being brutally tortured like never before, what was originally considered to be ten points of vitality has now gone to six or seven points.
So when they were surrounded and hacked by hundreds of tall and powerful Northwest men, all formation coordination and team awareness were basically forgotten, leaving only hysterical howls and trembling and weak legs. .
But this also cost Zhao Chengyu's sword team hundreds of casualties and nearly half an hour to round up and kill all these desperate little devils.
But General Zhao Chengyu was already very satisfied, being able to achieve an exchange ratio of 1 to 3 in hand-to-hand combat. Although the morale of these Japanese troops was low, they were still known as the invincible Japanese troops in Asia, weren't they?
The impressive record of being able to cut off the heads of more than 300 Japanese soldiers in a hand-to-hand battle is enough to mark a mark in the history of the Chinese army's war against foreign enemies.
Especially since Zhao Chengyu cut off five Japanese heads by himself, he felt extremely happy.
But when he came to Zhou Wen and his team, he was suddenly shocked.
It was not because of the Japanese corpses scattered around, nor because he saw several Japanese officers with missing heads, but because he saw more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the mercenary regiment lying in the open space.
Of course, General Zhao Chengyu knew that such cruel and bloody hand-to-hand combat would inevitably lead to casualties, but the masters of the mercenary group had already established an invincible image in his mind. Before, he was just amazed at the strong fighting power of these people, but when he saw so many people fell at once , I couldn't help but feel a little surprised and apologetic.
Without the bravery of these masters, today's battle would not be so easy, and the casualties of our own troops would certainly not be small.
It can be said that Brother Xiao Zhou and his men saved the lives of countless brothers in the 109th Brigade with their bravery and proper tactics.
Fortunately, when he got closer, he discovered that most of the wounded lying on the ground were being treated by others, and a few even stood up after applying bandages.
General Zhao Chengyu asked urgently: "Brother Xiao Zhou, how are your casualties?"
At this time, Zhou Wen looked at Zhao Xiaojin who was drawing the blood of another brother with type A blood. He turned to Zhao Chengyu and said, "Fortunately, most of them are minor injuries. Only my vice-captain was seriously injured."
Zhao Chengyu leaned over to pick up the combat uniform that Gao Xiaoshan had taken off, and when he touched the sandwiched steel plate with his hand, a chill surged from his heart. There were many holes in the tentacles. I wonder how many times the lieutenant colonel and deputy captain in front of me had been stabbed in the front.
If it weren't for these four steel plates, this brother would have been stabbed to death by the little Japanese's bayonet. With their strong combat effectiveness and high martial arts skills, they were still stabbed so many times by the little Japs from the front, which shows how fierce and cruel the battles among these top soldiers were at that time.
At the same time, it also proves that these masters are really fierce. Basically, everyone has to face several or even dozens of Japs. In this case, they actually killed the enemy formation, and they only paid one person and seriously injured more than ten people. The price of a minor injury.
Zhao Chengyu said to Zhou Wen sincerely: "Brother Zhou, your combat prowess is beyond words. I can't imagine that there is an army in this world with so many masters. It's really convincing. If it weren't for my brother, I would shoulder the heavy responsibility. I also want to join your army directly. It would be fun if we all kill the Japanese together."
This battle gave General Zhao Chengyu a lot of inspiration.
After the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, he also followed Zhou Wen's approach and gathered all veterans with certain martial arts skills in the army for training, and selected 30 people as his guard platoon. All ammunition and supplies in the army were tilted towards the guard platoon. , a few years later, a group of elite small units with prototypes of special forces were actually trained.
Of course, this is a story for later, so let’s not mention it now.
At this time, the battlefield was still full of killings. Most of the effective forces that the Japs could muster were killed or scattered by the large forces behind them, but there were still countless Japs who were stubbornly resisting.
Zhou Wen watched the sleeping Gao Xiaoshan's injury stabilize and said to General Zhao Chengyu: "Now I have to trouble Brother Zhao to send someone to escort our wounded back. The younger brother is about to attack the next target."
Zhao Chengyu waved his hand and said: "What are we brothers saying about trouble? This is my responsibility, brother."
After saying that, he called back: "Li Daming."
"arrive!"
I saw a burly-looking captain officer with a beard running over.
Despite the beard on his face, this officer's eyes were clear and translucent. He seemed not too old. But he was at least 1.8 meters tall, with a long-handled sword on his back and a cannon on his waist.
Standing in front of Zhao Chengyu, he stood upright like a javelin, looking so majestic and heroic that even Zhou Wen secretly praised him: "What a northern man."
"You pick a platoon from the guard camp, and you personally lead the team to escort these injured friendly brothers to the medical center safely."
"Huh?" This young officer, who was obviously very skilled at first glance, was dumbfounded.
