Chapter 409: Beijing Strategy (5)
Just when the battle situation was stalemate, suddenly there were heavy gunfire on both sides of the Tongzhou railway station, and the firepower on the Japanese position was suddenly significantly reduced. At the same time www.biquge.info Luo Yue also received a notice from the front-line command that the second and third battalions had launched an attack on the Japanese position from the left and right flanks of the Tongzhou Railway Station, and asked the first battalion to stop firing and immediately charge the Japanese position, and cooperate with the second and third battalions to take the Tongzhou Railway Station in one fell swoop.
It turned out that when Luo Yue commanded the troops to confront the Japanese army, the second and third battalions had successfully circled both sides of the Tongzhou Railway Station and launched an attack on the Japanese position. At this time, the Japanese troops stationed at the Tongzhou Railway Station were basically attracted by the firepower of the first battalion, although they did not completely give up the defense on both sides of the railway station, but the number of Japanese troops was really insufficient, and only a small number of guards could be arranged, so when the second and third battalions launched an attack on the Tongzhou Railway Station, the Japanese defense line could not resist at all, and was soon broken through by the People's Army, so the soldiers on both sides were loaded with bayonets and launched a fierce melee battle in the railway station.
At this time, if the first battalion continued to fire at the Japanese positions, it would injure its own people by mistake, so the front command ordered the first battalion to immediately launch a charge at the railway station.
At this time, the Japanese army's return fire basically stopped, so Luo Yue also pulled out his pistol and shouted, "Rush." Then he led the fighters of the base camp and rushed in the direction of the railway station.
In fact, the battalion level can be regarded as a tactical combat unit, although the battalion commander will personally go to the front line of the battlefield to command the battle, but basically will not take the lead in the charge, that is the task of the platoon commander, the company commander, what the battalion commander should do is to command the combat deployment of the whole battalion, after all, a reorganized battalion, plus the firepower reinforcement company, the total strength is close to 900 people, and there needs to be a special person to command the operation.
However, after all, Luo Yue has not been the battalion commander for a long time, less than 4 months before and after, so he is not very suitable for his role now, and in the battle of attacking Qingdao, the quality of the whole battalion is not high, and Luo Yue also has a full set of modern equipment, and the combat ability of individual soldiers is very strong, so he often takes the lead on the battlefield and leads the whole battalion to fight, and now he is unconsciously accustomed to this combat mode.
The first battalion was only 2 or 300 meters away from the battlefield, although it was a charge in the dark night, but the sporadic fires at the railway station also pointed out the direction for the soldiers, so it didn't take long for Luo Yue to lead the soldiers of the whole battalion to rush to the front of the battlefield, and in the process of charging, the soldiers had already loaded their bayonets and were ready to fight with the Japanese army in a white-knuckle battle.
As soon as he entered the battlefield, Luo Yue saw that about 10 meters away from him, two soldiers of the People's Army were fighting a Japanese soldier in a double battle, only to see that the Japanese soldier dodged and dodged the stabbing attack of a People's Army soldier, and the People's Army soldier was unable to hold his feet for a while because he pounced too fiercely, and rushed forward several steps. The Japanese soldier seized the gap and took a step forward to get in front of another KPA soldier, who held a gun in both hands and stabbed at the Japanese soldier, but the Japanese soldier's body turned to the left and dodged the blow, and the bayonet in his hand stabbed out like a poisonous snake and stabbed right into the chest of the KPA soldier.
After the victory, the Japanese soldier immediately raised his foot and kicked the KPA soldier's body away, pulled out the bayonet, and quickly turned to deal with another opponent, and in the process of turning, he had already adjusted his posture, his hands were in front of him, his left hand held the twist handle of the butt, and his right hand held the hand in front of the gun, the bayonet pointed diagonally forward, and his legs were also arranged in a lunge shape. The whole process was done in one go, showing that the Japanese soldier had undergone a long period of rigorous training in bayonet skills.
At this time, the previous KPA soldier stopped his feet and turned around, and when he saw that his comrade-in-arms had been stabbed to death by the Japanese soldiers, he roared angrily, raised his gun with both hands, and stabbed the Japanese soldiers fiercely. However, although his momentum was fierce, it was full of flaws in the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, the figure of the Japanese soldiers leaned back slightly, raised the rifle slightly in the front hand, pulled it to the left, and immediately pulled out the opponent's stabbing blow, and then immediately withdrew the bayonet and stabbed towards the opponent's open middle door.
Seeing that the castration of the soldiers of the People's Army was exhausted, there was no way to dodge, but at this moment, only to hear a "bang", the Japanese soldier's head was crooked, his body was weak, and he fell to the ground.
Although Luo Yue has not fully mastered the performance of the Mauser 96 pistol, he himself is an excellent shooter, and his basic qualities, such as eyesight, hand strength, and feeling, are all there, and the hit rate is still enough to guarantee at a distance of more than 10 meters.
It can be said that the first battalion rushed to the battlefield at the right time, because the KPA fought very the battlefield at this time. After the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions broke into the Japanese position, the soldiers on both sides were basically engaged in white-knuckle combat with bayonets, and very few people opened fire. In fact, if the armies of other countries were changed at this time, they would either raise their hands and surrender at this time, or they would prepare to break through and retreat, but the style of the Japanese army would rather be broken than surrender, so in the face of a large number of people, and it was also a two-sided attack of the people's army, the Japanese army was not afraid of war at all, relying on its own excellent bayonet skills, and the people's army launched a white-edged fierce battle, and did not fall behind in the situation.
The Japanese Army can be said to be the army that attaches the most importance to bayonet tactics in this era. Resources are limited, it is difficult to provide soldiers with sufficient ammunition in unlimited quantities, and the Japanese soldiers even have to pick up and recycle bullet shells on the battlefield, so the bayonet tactics that do not need to consume the resources of appointment naturally attract the attention of the Japanese army; second, the Japanese army has always attached importance to spiritual strength and despised material strength, and bayonet tactics are undoubtedly the combat mode that can best embody spiritual strength, so every Japanese army soldier will receive strict bayonet training from the military academy, even exceeding shooting training, and at the same time believe that the bayonet is the key to determining victory or defeat on the battlefield。
As a result, every Japanese soldier may not be a good marksman, but he is basically equipped with an excellent bayonet technique, and the 30-type rifle used by the Japanese army in this era, as well as the famous 38-type rifle in the old time and space, are close to 1.3 meters in length, plus an extra-long bayonet design, so the total length of the rifle and bayonet is 1.6 meters, which is generally 15-20 cm longer than the rifle and stabbing force of other countries, so that it naturally has a great advantage in bayonet combat.
In the old time and space, the bayonet tactics of the Japanese army have always been second to none in the world, and the armies that have competed with the Japanese army in everything, whether it is the Russian army or the American army, almost all suffered great losses under the bayonet tactics of the Japanese army.
In fact, in the training of the soldiers of the People's Army, great importance is also attached to the training of bayonet skills, after all, this era is still the era of semi-automatic weapons dominance, so bayonet warfare is also an important part of the battlefield, in fact, the armies of various countries attach great importance to bayonet skills, of course, there is no country like Japan, the bayonet training has been done to the extreme.
However, the People's Army had not been in the army for a long time, and the vast majority of the soldiers were ordinary peasants before joining the army, and had only touched hoes and sickles, so it was impossible for them to train excellent bayonets in a short time.
Moreover, the people who are responsible for the training of the people's army are all crossing soldiers, and the bayonet technique is precisely the biggest weakness of the crossing soldiers. Although in the old time and space, the troops also carried out bayonet training, but this kind of training more reflected the emphasis on a spirit, rather than the role of strength, after all, in the era of all kinds of automatic weapons, there was almost no bayonet combat on the battlefield. Therefore, countries do not emphasize the training of bayonet skills, and even the form of bayonets has changed from a murder weapon to a multi-functional furniture knife, not to mention that the design of the rifle has also developed in the direction of short and delicate, and the non-supporting design has become a genre, and this design style itself ignores bayonet warfare.
This is not to say that the armies of the old plane did not pay attention to the training of soldiers' combat abilities, but that combat techniques such as grappling or short-bladed techniques were more practical than bayonet skills. The bare-handed grappling of the crossing warriors, or the use of daggers, and the stabbing techniques of short knives are all strictly trained, and only the bayonet technique is basically a showmanship. Although after crossing into this era, the crossing warriors themselves began to strengthen the training of bayonet techniques, and found some training methods for bayonet techniques from the materials, but after all, they lacked the corresponding experience, and bayonet techniques could not achieve results in a short period of time.
In this way, the crossing soldiers were naturally unable to teach the KPA soldiers excellent bayonet skills, and in previous battles, the KPA had never experienced such a large-scale bayonet battle, and as a result, this time it encountered the Japanese army who was proficient in bayonet tactics, and naturally suffered a big loss.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, almost all the KPA soldiers who took the lead in breaking into the Japanese formation were stabbed down by the Japanese soldiers, and only a few Japanese soldiers were stabbed down, and then the KPA on the left and right flanks broke through the positions in an all-round way, and the two sides launched a melee, and the KPA was almost three times the number of the Japanese army, but it still did not have much of the upper hand. If the soldiers on both sides are fighting with bayonets in a one-on-one fight, there is a good chance that the fallen soldiers will be KPA soldiers, and even if the KPA soldiers are two-on-one, they will not have any advantage; even if they can assassinate the enemy, they will often have to catch one of them; only by fighting three against one can they gain a certain upper hand. Therefore, in a white-knuckle battle, although the Japanese army was far less numerous than the KPA, it was able to fight evenly with the KPA, and it was difficult to distinguish between the upper and lower levels.
However, after Luo Yue led a battalion to join the war group, the situation was changed, the numerical advantage of the Bijing People's Army was too huge, and it was not possible to make up for it by relying on individual combat strength, and after a period of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the People's Army also realized that fighting bayonets could not defeat the opponent, so they switched to shooting to deal with the enemy, after all, they were large in number and had enough time to shoot.
In addition, the platoon and company-level officers of the People's Army are equipped with pistols, although it is not a pistol with actual combat ability like the Mauser 96, the power and lethality are very limited, but in this kind of close combat, it can play a big role, after all, the pistol can be fired in bursts, without manual return of the cartridge case, and the shooting at close range, the hit rate is also extremely high, so the battle situation has finally gradually developed in the direction of the People's Army.
