The Japanese offensive tactics are very simple and direct, just two sentences:
After the artillery bombardment, the infantry charged;
After the infantry charged, they continued to bombard with artillery!
This set of tactics is particularly effective against the Chinese army. It is nothing more than bullying that China has no artillery and letting them bomb it. Moreover, the tactics of the Chinese government army are too rigid. They blindly fight positional warfare with the Japanese and do not pay attention to civil work. Just dig a few linear defense lines in the trenches. It's amazing that this can prevent the Japanese.
Moreover, the Japanese also have a set of tactics, which is "frontal assault and flanking detours." Once the front is blocked, the Japanese will use deep detours. Once the Kuomintang army is cut off, it will completely collapse.
In the Battle of Songhu, 700,000 troops held up Shencheng for more than a month. The early stage of the battle was quite good. The casualty ratio between the enemy and ourselves was basically two to one. This was the result of the three-dimensional attack of Japanese ships and aircraft. It lasted for a day. For more than a month, it means you can keep it.
After encountering obstacles in the front, the Japanese landed from the Hangzhou Bay on the flank, captured the Wu-Fu line, and made a posture to cut off the retreat of the Kuomintang army. The hundreds of thousands of troops on the Songhu line collapsed in an instant. They were defeated and died. There were no less than 100,000 people trampling on each other. The Japanese took advantage of the victory and pursued them. One squadron dared to chase a division, and they retreated all the way to Jinling City before stopping. They suffered as many as 300,000 casualties.
Therefore, although the two tactics of the Japs are simple, they are very effective. Fortunately, both sides of Chenjialing are surrounded by the towering Taihang Mountains. There is only one pass into Liuzhen, and Chenjialing is stuck on the pass. The Japs cannot implement a large detour tactic and can only For a frontal assault on the Chenjialing defense line, infantry and artillery coordination tactics can be used;
The Japanese used a brigade of field artillery to bombard the Eighth Route Army's fortifications in Chenjialing indiscriminately. The preparations for this round of artillery fire lasted for a full hour, and the forward position of the fourth company was blown into the moon's surface;
The trenches were also blown down in many places. Fortunately, the covering soil on their anti-gun holes was covered with very elastic pine wood and soil. The shells exploded on it and had a certain elasticity, so they did not destroy the anti-gun holes;
The Eighth Route Army soldiers in the cave, with their mouths half open, painfully endured rounds of Japanese artillery fire...
A sharp whistle sounded on the battlefield...
"Damn it, before the artillery stopped, the Japanese infantry rushed up. They are in a hurry to reincarnate!"
Ma Dayuan cursed and rushed out of the shell-proof hole. The others followed him. The Japanese infantry was already within 100 meters. If you slowed down a little, they would be under your nose.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!"
The machine gun on the position was the first to fire, and a large number of Japanese were swept away in an instant...
"boom!"
A grenade flew over and accurately hit the machine gun position. Both the primary and secondary shooters fell in a pool of blood.
"Damn it, the Japanese cannons are so accurate! Please pay attention to me!"
"Bagou!"
A stray bullet hit the side of Ma Dayuan's helmet and was near miss!
Almost breaking Ma Dayuan's neck, the frightened Ma Dayuan quickly retreated into the trench, and the enemy's grenade was not the only one that was accurate.
As the Japanese approached, Ma Dayuan's platoon also began to suffer heavy casualties. War has always been a back-and-forth affair...
Xiaoshan Zhijiu just used the grenade in his hand to knock off a machine gun fire point of the Eighth Route Army. He is a veteran and a famous grenade hand in the squadron. The machine gunner targeted by him cannot escape. He is like He was hiding in a crater like a poisonous snake, ready to launch a fatal blow to the Eighth Route Army at any time.
The comrades around him fell one by one, and he remained unmoved at all. He even dragged the body of a compatriot to block his way to the crater;
Because his sixth sense told him that there was a pair of eyes staring at him, making him feel like a light on his back...
If he was a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, those eyes came from an eagle, ready to strike him with a fatal blow at any time.
In front of him on the left, a machine gun was firing wildly at the imperial warriors. The imperial army was so suppressed that they could not raise their heads. His machine gun fire was very tricky, and at least several warriors fell under his machine gun.
"Bagaya road!"
Xiaoshan wanted to use the grenade in his hand to hold the Eighth Route Army machine gun, but he hesitated because he felt those eyes were still staring at him.
Shuanzi fired another burst and caught a Japs. He quickly changed the shooting point. The Japs' small cannon was too accurate. He only dared to fire three bursts at one point.
The Japs suffered a lot from the exchange of fire between the two sides, but they did not give up. Even if they exchanged three for one, the Japs would not hesitate, because they could afford to replace them, but the Eighth Route Army could not afford to do so!
Ushijima's idea was to redeem Chu Xiong's two, even if he exchanged five for one.
A soldier is just a number in the eyes of a general at his level.
Shuanzi changed his fighting position and fired another long burst at several Japanese soldiers. Two Japanese soldiers were killed!
Xiao Shan decided not to wait any longer and had to take a risk. The threat of machine gun fire from the Eighth Route Army was too great.
He knew that the Eighth Route Army's machine gun would change positions after firing two bursts at most. He must seize the opportunity and eliminate this most threatening machine gun within a limited time...
The bolt fired another burst, and there were no more bullets in the bucket. He had to hurry up and replace the bullets.
With just this one shot, Old Devil Xiaoshan had already locked the position of the bolt, with a cruel smile on his face.
Xiaoshan made a gesture behind him, and the deputy shooter quickly handed him a grenade. Xiaoshan set up the grenade and adjusted the angle skillfully. He used his thumb to aim at the position of the bolt. To hit the bolt, he had to raise his head. , the crater was too shallow, and the corpse couldn't block his head at all. He wanted to bet on this second...
When Shuanzi loaded the bullet and leaned out of the bunker to fire the third burst of fire at the Japanese, Xiaoshan took action. He quickly raised his head and was about to stuff a grenade into the mouth of the barrel.
At nine o'clock, a Mauser bullet flew over quickly and accurately hit his temple.
The moment he fell, he stuffed the grenade into the barrel of the gun. His fallen body overwhelmed the grenade barrel next to him. The grenade shot into the group of Japanese attacking nearby, killing three Japanese in an instant!
Xiao Shanqian finally didn't have to be lonely on his way to the island. There were three compatriots accompanying him, and he didn't know if those three people would beat him to death.
On the second line of defense more than 100 meters away from the hill, sniper Ma Biao finally breathed a sigh of relief. This Japanese grenadier was so cunning. He guarded him for more than ten minutes and was finally shot in the head. That moment of relief made him feel that all the waiting was worth it!
Ma Biao took another bullet and then aimed at a Japanese soldier holding a command knife...
Hirano Shichiro didn't know that he had been targeted by the 8th Route sniper, and he was still there coquettishly directing his squadron to attack the 8th Route defense line. After two rounds of attacks, his squadron only had more than fifty people left. He, The squadron leader was very anxious. If he still couldn't capture the position, he would have to launch a Long Live Charge in the next round!
Your Excellency, Captain, your patience is about to run out.
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
Hirano Shichiro once again jumped out to give orders...
"Bah!"
Ma Biao firmly pulled the trigger and did not look in the direction of the Japanese commander. In his opinion, this was already a dead man.
Shichiro Hirano fell down on the slope very unwillingly. The yellow and white substance flowing out from his head dyed the snow-white earth into a pool of blood red, and he lay there quietly like a piece of shit...
