The main purpose of the army organization and weapon configuration set up by the Japanese is to target the Chinese army!
The organization and equipment of the national army were clearly understood before the war. The Japanese wanted to completely crush them not only from the number of personnel, but also from the weapons and equipment.
The Japanese lieutenant with rich combat experience finally understood the situation in front of him!
Frowning, powerful firepower, what kind of Eighth Route guerrillas are there on the other side... They are definitely regular national troops that have infiltrated into the occupied areas!
The heavy machine gun position was destroyed by the opponent, and the light machine gun position also misfired, which aroused the ferocity in the lieutenant's bones!
In his subconscious mind, how could such a "large-scale" attack with more than 2,000 troops be suppressed by the Chinese who only knew how to escape?
The opponent's strength definitely does not exceed 600 people!
The lieutenant even fantasized that in the past, his seniors said that half of the squadron could chase away a battalion of the national army!
If the attacking team were all the elites of the Imperial Army, those wretched guerrillas should have been crushed to pieces long ago!
Unfortunately, the reality was somewhat different from his imagination. Currently, both sides had mortars, and it seemed that the other side's machine gun firepower was almost as good as his own.
That bunch of losers from the Imperial Association Army did not attack decisively, and with more than a thousand bandit soldiers, they were pinned down in the open field by their opponents and unable to move, not to mention those bandit soldiers who dared to surrender to the enemy in front of the battle line!
This command always felt unsatisfactory, and the lieutenant felt extremely frustrated.
But now, his headquarters cannot be moved for the time being! It is possible to be attacked by the opponent's artillery at any time.
Not setting up the headquarters in the village was indeed a fatal mistake!
But facing such a big scene, the command system definitely cannot rely on messengers to convey orders!
Each offensive unit relies on observers to check the flags issued by the headquarters, so as to receive various tactical orders and adjust the attack direction in a timely manner.
In the blood of the Japanese, they are the only ones who have the right to fight against the national army. How can there be any argument that they are suppressed by the national army and beat them?
There is only one armored vehicle and an infantry team left in the middle mobile unit. Two vehicles and two or three-wheeled vehicles are just transportation tools.
The lieutenant is not a fool, and he now plans to keep the assistant executive officer at the command headquarters that may be bombed at any time.
As for him, he has to personally lead the armored vehicle to participate in the attack!
The lieutenant gave the order calmly and asked the assistant executive officer to stay at the headquarters to issue orders. One detachment without the machine gun team went east to reinforce the machine gun team, another detachment went to the front to assist the Imperial Army in commanding the attack, and the remaining detachment immediately Assemble the remaining security forces company! Follow the armored vehicle for a frontal attack.
After the order was given, the lieutenant immediately got into the armored vehicle!
A fourteen-man detachment of the Japs originally had one rifle sergeant, Sergeant, and four men from the light machine gun squad were removed, leaving only three rifle squads with a total of nine men. The sergeant immediately led the Japs horizontally and went to the east of the village to support the machine guns. Group.
Another sergeant led the messengers and rushed to the front of the Royal Association Army battalion commander to assign new combat tasks.
The assistant executive officer next to him was stunned for a while, and immediately stepped forward to the armored vehicle and asked: "Lieutenant, I request that I lead the charge. Such a big scene requires your personal command!"
The lieutenant was quite satisfied. He watched the armored vehicle engine sound and quickly came to the overturned heavy machine gun group.
Since the total weight of the 92 Heavy Machinery exceeds 100 kilograms, normal marches are usually carried out in cars. In battle, four people are required to carry it or carry it on horseback. The infantry squadron he brought was not qualified to be attached to it this time. Before departure, the captain strengthened the mortars and heavy machine guns originally assigned to the brigade to his squadron.
Several figures were tinkering with repairs next to the heavy machine gun.
After checking the squadron's four grenades on standby again, the lieutenant couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
The sergeant on the front ran back with the battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army.
The lieutenant was obviously in a bad mood: "What are you doing here? Follow the armored vehicle immediately and join the attack!"
The translator next to him hurried forward: "Report to Taijun, he...has something to report!"
The lieutenant said with a dark face: "If you have anything to say, tell me!"
"He said that the original plan was to outflank the two wings. Now there is no progress on the two wings, it is getting dark again, and the frontal attack is blocked. If effective offensive methods are not adopted, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy!"
The lieutenant was also helpless about the current situation. The arrangement just now was actually very risky. He hesitated for a moment: "Oh? If you have any good ideas, please tell me quickly."
The translator looked a little pale: "He said that special smoke can be used on the battlefield..."
The pseudo-battalion commander also saw the Japanese firing smoke bombs, and then he had an idea. Isn't the special smoke a poison gas bomb? Since you guerrillas are so cruel to me, don't blame me for being ruthless.
The lieutenant was stunned. This was indeed a good idea. He stretched out his wrist to look at his watch, looked up at the sky, then stretched out his hand and hooked his fingers: "Come here!"
The commander of the fake battalion was overjoyed and approached him. The lieutenant smiled and slapped the fake battalion commander in the face: "Where did you know about special cigarettes?"
The translation did not dare to stop, and the translation was fast.
The fake battalion commander was stunned and stunned for a moment: "Taijun, when the Major left last time, he left some special cigarettes behind. Everyone knows about this, right?"
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, the top secret of the Imperial Army? It seems... something like this happened, but he didn't expect that the battalion commander of the Imperial Alliance Army knew about it.
How could such advanced weapons be used on guerrillas?
Seeing that it was getting dark again, the current situation was such that the guerrilla firepower was extremely fierce and the Imperial Alliance Army could not attack them. Even if an assistant personally led an armored vehicle to participate in the attack, he was not completely sure.
I have never seen the situation so bad. The opposite side is definitely the main force of the national army, but the man in front of me is even more ruthless than him. Thinking of using special cigarettes, the lieutenant became more active. After thinking for a long time, he finally gave the order: "Order, send off signal flares immediately and all retreat. , fight again tomorrow!”
Phew, a scream sounded in the evening sky.
The Japanese observer nearby immediately shouted: "Enemy shelling..."
...
west.
The Japanese second lieutenant and his team, which had been strengthened with a machine gun, were advancing forward in a hurry.
The suppressed machine guns on both wings rained down bullets on Gao Yidao's position.
Seeing the Japanese enter the 300-meter range, Gao Yidao immediately shouted: "Hit!"
As he took the lead in firing, shots were fired immediately from the position.
The sound of counterattacking Czech machine guns, the sound of seven-nine rifles, and the roar of big and small grains, the chaos immediately became a large sound.
The distance is too far, and most of them are facing the Japanese in the distance.
Earlier, Long Fanzhang saw that the puppet troops in front of him were suppressed and did not move much. The ninth battalion beat the puppet troops so that they were almost unable to fight back. Suddenly, a small group of Japanese soldiers came up from the west. He had arranged a platoon of national soldiers in advance. Come for reinforcements!
Gao Yidao set up a total of eight machine gun firing positions in the trench. His company only arranged a total of four machine guns facing the west. The original plan was to fire alternately, but he could always maintain two machine guns that could constantly change positions and continue to fire at the enemy. .
In the open field without cover, the Japanese who were attacking with their backs bent were immediately knocked down by more than ten people.
The second lieutenant who led the team was confused. Based on many years of battlefield experience, he had previously judged the guerrillas' firepower to have only three or two machine guns.
Seeing the dense fire tongues spitting out from the muzzles of the battlefield, his expression immediately changed: "Cover!"
The Japanese second lieutenant's judgment was completely wrong. Gao Yidao's company did not have that many machine guns at all.
It's just that half of Long Fanzhang's friendly troops who came for reinforcements were holding semi-automatic rifles. Although the firing speed of the rifle was not as fast as the machine gun, it was much faster than the ordinary rifle because there was no need to pull the bolt at all, even if the friendly soldiers were not very familiar with the gun. With its performance, more than a dozen semi-automatic rifles fire at the same time, and they are still almost the same as light machine guns after firing!
The Japanese lieutenant who was pressed to the ground turned around and looked around. The fallen elites not far away were screaming like killing pigs, and the medical soldiers accompanying the team were rushing forward to deal with them.
The Japanese second lieutenant immediately became furious and waved his hand to the observer in the distant skirmish line who was looking at him, indicating that all units should continue to attack resolutely.
Then he loudly ordered a squad of Japanese soldiers in front of him to continue moving forward and launch an attack on the guerrilla position.
Even though he was completely at a firepower disadvantage, the Japanese second lieutenant never thought about retreating!
What is the Imperial Army?
Those are the best elites in the world. How could they retreat when they encounter even the slightest resistance?
Even if you die, you must die on the way to attack!
The dozen or so poorly trained Japanese soldiers in the front unit resolutely carried out the order and immediately stopped shooting. With their rifles in hand, they crawled, rolled, and moved around in the ravines that had long since become wilderness. There were many tactics involved. The more skilled you are, the more skilled you are.
Braving the dense rain of bullets in the distance, he began to crawl forward.
Bullets do not recognize people. Although the distance is very far, within a few minutes, a certain unlucky guy lay on the ground and stopped moving. Finally, he advanced to more than 200 meters away from the enemy position. The Japanese began to form a battle formation, with one person shooting and covering. The other two moved forward alternately.
The Japanese were indeed well-trained. Even if it was only a detachment, under the leadership of the sergeant, they still launched a fierce attack on Gao Yidao's position without fear of death.
It's a pity that a detachment of fourteen Japanese soldiers rushed to their current position, and including the sergeant, there were only eight left.
A group of grenadier soldiers in the team also came forward, and finally reached a position of about 200 meters. With the help of a ditch in the wilderness, they unhooked the grenade, squatted half-crouched and stepped on the hoe, and immediately began to fire at those who were Use the bullet's firepower point to carry out fixed-point clearing.
With some panicked shouts from the observers.
The second lieutenant, who was watching the warriors resolutely attack from behind, turned around and saw that to the south...
That is, on the right wing of his attack, a team on bicycles is approaching quickly!
The Japanese second lieutenant was immediately stunned, and he was worried. As expected, the guerrillas actually set up a team outside the formation!
If you don't retreat now, you will be in a situation where you are attacked from both sides!
Now retreating, the warriors attacking from the front...
Just when he was hesitating, a green flare suddenly shot out from the other side of the village!
The second lieutenant was a little dazed, the red attack...it seemed that he had never seen the green signal flare rising...
------Digression-----
The Japanese first set up a bicycle squadron in Jizhong. Because they made no noise when maneuvering quickly, they achieved great results. Later, they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.
The Okawa advance team also rides bicycles when maneuvering quickly, and only hides and abandons them after entering the mountains!
