"Captain, the Japanese have broken out from the east gate!"
"Haha, I finally got them out. Damn it, it's the first time I've found that acting is so tiring!"
Captain Ye was really happy.
After fighting for so many years, this is the first time I have been given the task of fighting hard but not too hard.
The scale is up to you.
And this scale is directly related to the course of the subsequent war.
His nerves were tense all day long.
I was afraid that too many Japanese soldiers would die, which would affect subsequent plans.
Finally, this phase of the task was completed, and the entire operation was considered to be more than half completed.
Wiping the non-existent sweat on his head, he immediately ordered:
"Let the blocking force take two more symbolic hits and then withdraw. Remember to protect yourself."
"yes!"
As a result, the soldiers blocking Kishida's squadron quickly took the initiative to make way for them as planned.
"Major Fujimoto, I'm very grateful that you can personally come out to assist me. Let's quickly join forces and enter the city to wipe out this group of ungrateful Chinese people!"
Kishida was so happy.
In ancient China, greetings from ten miles away was the highest form of courtesy given by emperors to people who have made great achievements.
Now that a major can come out to respond in person, it can be seen that this time he is providing help in times of need, directly to Fujimoto's heart.
This is a life-saving grace. If there is a chance to be promoted by the person in front of me in the future, if nothing else, it will not be too difficult to be promoted to an assistant officer.
As we all know, there is only one level difference between lieutenant officer and school officer (associate officer), but that is an absolute gap.
Because these two military ranks seem to be both officers, the actual difference is like crossing a major.
The former is to study how to set up positions, how to dig fortifications, and how to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible to protect oneself.
The latter is to study why the enemy is here, what is their purpose, what is my purpose, where do I need to send the soldiers, how to mess up the enemy's plan as much as possible, and at the same time achieve my own purpose.
In other words, one is studying how to fight the battle in front of him, and the other is studying how to fight the battle in front of him.
Once you get to the level of a general, you will have to consider how to fight the war in front of you.
Putting pig raisers and pig butchers together, even though they both revolve around pigs, they are not the same thing no matter how you look at them?
This is the reason why many people do well in the military, but end up there for the rest of their lives.
If it is really done, it will not be much different from class crossing.
So now Kishida looks at Fujimoto no matter what he likes.
But Fujimoto's next order disappointed him.
"Take your people and let's reinforce Yangquan!"
"Yangquan? There's no war there. Now there are enemies all around. If we don't annihilate them, we have to turn them in. Do you want to be a deserter!?"
"Snapped!"
Fujimoto slapped Kishida firmly on the face.
Originally, Kishida was here for reinforcements. Under such circumstances, it was already very difficult to come.
Fujimoto is indeed grateful, which is why Kishida dares to speak without hesitation.
But no matter how grateful you are, it’s not a reason for you to reveal someone’s background in public.
Just see through it and don't tell it.
Well, if you don't put it on the scale, it won't weigh half a pound, but if it goes on the scale, it will weigh more than a thousand pounds.
If the shouting from above is true, you will have to bear the consequences.
What's more, the Japanese army is notoriously hierarchical.
If I don't even dare to fart even if I'm publicly humiliated by a subordinate like you, will I still be able to work in the army in the future?
"Baga! What do you know?! This group of enemies has extraordinary combat capabilities. I have received exact information. Their goal is the brigade headquarters. The role of our reinforcements is very important!"
"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders! Just do whatever is asked of you. You know nothing about your superiors!"
Listening to these familiar words, Kishida's eyes couldn't stop twitching.
Is this retribution?
There was no choice but to carry out the order angrily.
I have already greeted all the eighteen generations of Fujimoto’s ancestors several times in my heart.
No matter how powerful the enemy is or what strategic thinking, they are all excuses for you to be timid.
If I were sitting in your position, I would have killed all these eight soldiers long ago.
Just wait, thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi.
One day, with the power in hand, I will kill all the timid dogs in the world!
He even half-hoped to be ambushed by the enemy again on his way back.
Let this freeloader see my unpredictable command and powerful combat effectiveness.
There's nothing you can do about it, that's just how people are.
It's easy to overestimate yourself if you wallow in good times for too long.
What about Lu Bu and Guan Yu, what about Han Xin and Xiang Yu.
That's because you didn't meet me.
But Balu seemed to be deliberately confronting him and did not cause any trouble for him along the way.
Seeing that we have gone three-quarters of the way back.
The blocking shot finally sounded amid Kishida's expectations and Fujimoto's worries.
"finally come!"
Kishida excitedly threw the kettle beside his mouth to the ground.
"Your Excellency Fujimoto, your people should take a rest and I'll be back as soon as I can!"
Naturally, Fujimoto won't stop him. It's too late to be happy that someone is willing to get into trouble for him.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
"Da da da!"
As soon as they made contact, Kishida felt something was obviously wrong.
Is this firepower Tubalu?
Rifles, submachine guns, machine guns and mortars.
Each person has one weapon, the equipment is reasonably configured, and the ammunition is exceptionally sufficient.
Coupled with the extremely organized dispatching and command.
He immediately felt unprecedented pressure.
"Artillery crew, take out their machine guns, machine gun cover!"
Kishida was not too scared, on the contrary, he was slightly excited.
This was the fight he had dreamed of.
"Zhi'er~Boom!"
"Zhi'er~Boom!"
"Nani?"
Not long after giving the order, Kishida was dumbfounded.
Several machine guns were immediately destroyed in the flames as soon as they opened fire and exposed their positions.
The countless hidden machine guns also opened fire wildly.
The Japanese soldiers who were halfway through were immediately shot and killed mercilessly, and most of them were immediately wiped out.
Before the grenade squad even saw where the enemy was, they were picked off one by one by the eight-way sharpshooters who had been watching them for a long time.
Based on Kishida’s past experience.
The Eighth Route Army's marksmanship is terrible, and it may not be possible to hit it even if it advances to 100 meters. (The main reason is that the rifling is almost smooth, and sometimes it is necessary to use hand-reloaded bullets.)
On his side, all he needed was a machine gun sweep to suppress them until they couldn't even lift their heads.
A dozen cannonballs (grenade).
As long as you point out the few light machine guns on the opposite side, you can call them one by one from a distance of two to three hundred meters.
The other side could either charge immediately and fight hand-to-hand with themselves while suffering huge casualties.
Either retreat and chase the remaining enemies like a rabbit.
At most, we include the drama where the opponent fought to the death and refused to retreat. Under the cover of machine guns and mortars (grenade launchers), we rushed forward and wiped out the enemy.
But why is it different this time?
really!
With sufficient equipment, Balu has no intention of continuing to coddle you.
Who said we must fight according to your ideas?
Don’t you just want to bully our Chinese army for having bad weapons?
This time I will always bully you in turn.
The mortar used by the Eighth Route Army is the Sanyi 60mm mortar.
It's a French Brand 60mm mortar copied by the Ordnance Administration Factory 50 over there.
After all, the problem should be solved first.
So Zhu Han simply didn't bother to change it and just did this.
As the mortar with the largest production volume during the Anti-Japanese War and the most contact with our army, samples, drawings and even artillery are readily available.
It doesn't even require much involvement from Zhu Han, technicians transferred from other arsenals can make it directly.
Because domestic technology is immature, gun steel must be imported from the United States.
The range of the imitation is nearly a quarter lower than the original, only 1.33 kilometers.
But the Eighth Route Army is not here to play cannon fire with you.
It is enough to have a range greater than the 800-meter range of the enemy's light machine gun.
If one cannon is not enough, use two. If one shot fails, use two.
A squadron only has 9 machine guns at full capacity.
I also got 9 small mortars, am I paying enough attention to you?
As for the grenade launcher...
Don't wonder why the grenade hand died so easily.
The Japs do have a lot of grenade launchers.
However, the Type 89 grenade with excellent performance is not enough for regular troops.
So Kishida and the others were holding old Taisho ten-year-old grenade launchers.
A formation like the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade only fights security wars in the rear and does not go to the frontal battlefield.
That's great. Why do you need such good equipment?
The Type 89 has a maximum range of 700 meters and an effective range of 500 meters.
As its predecessor, the maximum range of the Taisho 10-year-old weapon was less than 200 meters.
On the other hand, look at the Eighth Road side.
Although there is only one Xiao Xiaoyuan in the entire 129th Division, it is not only those who are at his level who are good at marksmanship.
The distance is only 200 meters, and with the help of rifles and machine guns to suppress it, you can aim and shoot calmly.
If you can't even hit this, it is simply an insult to the sharpshooter.
On the battlefield behind enemy lines, the enemy can only use these three weapons - rifles, machine guns, and grenade launchers.
At most, a grenade is included.
Now the machine guns were watched by the mortars and the grenade launchers by the marksmen.
The only "heavy" equipment that the Japanese light infantry had available was completely useless.
Commander Kong of the 14th Regiment of the 385th Brigade looked at the scene in front of him and couldn’t help but sigh:
"It has only been less than three months, and Comrade Zhu Han's promise to 'change offensive and defensive positions' has already begun to take shape."
