In fact, after the battle plan of the Hejiawan Village Headquarters was sent to the headquarters, Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun both opposed this plan on the grounds that it was too risky and might cause large casualties to the troops. Although the crossing fleet has fought several battles in this era, it still maintains a record of zero casualties until now, and Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun both hope to continue to maintain this record, because every soldier is a valuable human resource for crossing the fleet, even if one person is sacrificed, it is a major loss, so choose a safe combat plan as much as possible.

But Xia Bohai gave the opposite opinion of the two, first of all, from a large level, we must go all out to annihilate the Eight-Nation Coalition Army stationed in Juhe Town, because the next target of the headquarters is Tianjin, if this Eight-Nation Coalition Army is allowed to flee to Tianjin, it will undoubtedly enhance Tianjin's strength and increase the difficulty of the next step battle. And this battle plan is indeed risky, there will be large casualties, but fighting a war is a dangerous thing, if you are afraid of casualties, choose a safe tactic, then it is better not to fight, since you are a soldier, do not be afraid of sacrifice. And for some time in the future, of course, it will still be up to the army that crosses the fleet to fight on the front line, and there will be even more difficult battles in the future, and the record of zero casualties will be broken sooner or later, and there is no need to insist on the record of zero casualties as a condition for tactical choice.

In addition, the crossing fleet is now generally faced with the problem of lack of actual combat experience, and the Marine Corps is more prominent in this regard, because the fleet has an absolutely leading technological superiority, which is better, while the technical superiority of the Marine Corps is not so obvious, and in the future there will definitely be more battles on land than at sea, so the Marine Corps will face a very severe test, and the current enemy strength is weak, so it can be used to train and accumulate actual combat experience for future battles。

The three of them discussed for a while, and Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun were finally persuaded by Xia Bohai, and only then did they agree to the battle plan of the Hejiawan Village Headquarters. On the one hand, the headquarters ordered the appointment of Qiu Yahui as the commander of this battle, and on the other hand, it notified the reinforcements that the plan had changed.

Although their respective considerations were different, the headquarters agreed to the battle plan of the Hejiawan Village Headquarters, and the headquarters immediately began to set up arrangements. After the troops attacked, Hejiawan Village could not be left without guards, because the village not only held more than 200 prisoners, but also the medical team and his own wounded, so Qiu Yahui decided to leave a platoon to guard Hejiawan Village, and also left helicopters. The other three marines, machine guns, mortars, and two other warrior vehicles all took part in the battle.

And the platoon led by Luo Yue was not Qiu Yahui's company, but their platoon was originally a sharp knife platoon, and at the same time, it was the most experienced unit in the Marine Corps, so it was not in the village.

Because there were two warrior carts loaded with heavy weapons, the troops moved quickly and quickly, and it only took more than 40 minutes to reach the northeastern outskirts of Komagawa Town, and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the sentries set up by the Eight-Nation Alliance on the perimeter, killing three Allied soldiers.

However, Qiu Yahui did not rush to order an attack, and on the one hand, he dispatched troops and arranged positions nearby, and on the other hand, he released unmanned reconnaissance helicopters to reconnoiter the deployment of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

At this time, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army in the town of Juhe also reacted very quickly, although the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was ready to retreat, but the enemy had already fought over, and it was necessary to resist for a while, if it retreated at this time, the enemy army would then pursue, and the casualties would definitely be important, so it was necessary to arrange the army that was cut off and blocked, and then retreated. So Yuki Otsu immediately ordered half of the Japanese and British troops to set up positions outside the town to block the enemy, and the rest of the army continued to retreat, and planned to withdraw from Komagawa Town, and then arrange a response army to cover the retreat of the blocking army, so that they would cover each other and retreat alternately.

It should be said that Yuki Otsu's arrangement is a standard retreat tactic, and in one case, the troops can smoothly get rid of the enemy army and minimize their own casualties, but now the Eight-Nation Alliance is not an ordinary enemy army. If the coalition forces could immediately disperse and retreat from Juhe Town to Tianjin to converge, although they would cause some casualties, they would still be able to escape partially.

The town of Komagawa is just a small town, the scale is not large, only about 300 households, more than 1,000 people, just in the traffic artery, so it forms a town, in fact, it is just a larger village. However, due to the landing of the Eight-Nation Alliance at Dagukou, there are few escapes left, and through the reconnaissance of drones, the command basically understands the deployment of Juhe Town.

Strictly speaking, the Eight-Nation Coalition did not actually have any fortifications in Juhe Town, and now they only rely on a few houses on the edge of the town as shelters to arrange defensive positions, and in Qiu Yahui's opinion, such positions are almost completely vulnerable. In addition to the blocking army, the other Eight-Nation Coalition forces are gathering in the town, and it seems that they are preparing to retreat.

Luo Yue immediately said: "Company Commander Qiu, the Eight-Nation Alliance is about to retreat, and we also have to change the battle plan, let me lead the troops into the town to fight with them in the streets, only in this way can we hold back the Eight-Nation Alliance." ”

Qiu Yahui frowned, he was not unclear, if it dragged on like this, the Eight-Nation Alliance would definitely escape, and he could only eat the army that was blocked after the break, Luo Yue's plan was indeed feasible. However, in this way, it is inevitable to change the battle plan, but the communication between the command and the command is based on the radio on the helicopter, and now the helicopter is left in the village, so it is impossible to notify the command and change the battle plan, so how can the command explain it? Moreover, Qiu Yahui also understood that the casualties in the street fighting were very large, and although the headquarters agreed to the battle plan he proposed, if the casualties were too large, I am afraid it would not be reasonable. However, if the Eight-Nation Alliance is let go, then the previous arrangement will also be in vain.

Seeing that Qiu Yahui was still a little hesitant at this time, Luo Yue couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said, "Company Commander Qiu, give an order quickly, if it drags on, the Eight-Nation Alliance will all run away." ”

Liu Qinglin, the second platoon commander of this company, also said: "Yes, company commander, you can't hesitate any longer, let's fight." ”

Qiu Yahui naturally knows that at this time, you really can't hesitate, you must make a decision immediately, even if you make a wrong decision, it is better than hesitating, so Qiu Yahui also gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Platoon Commander Luo, you lead the troops to attack from the front, Platoon Commander Ran, Platoon Commander Liu, your two platoons are outflanked from both sides, flanked on three sides, the mortar platoon is responsible for fire cover, the machine gun platoon is on the car, and then supports, once the Eight-Nation Alliance retreats, immediately drive to pursue." ”

After arranging the tactical arrangements, Qiu Yahui immediately contacted the reinforcements, telling them that the tactics had changed, and asked them to hurry up to the battlefield to participate. And the other units also acted separately according to the combat missions assigned to them.

The mortar platoon immediately set up a mortar, and under the guidance of the drone, launched an artillery attack on the defense line of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

The structure of the houses in Komagawa Town is basically wooden, at most there is a little mud wall, which cannot block the impact of high-explosive bombs at all, and there are drones in the air to provide shooting parameters, so the accuracy of the mortar strike is very high, and the first three rounds of shelling destroyed a house, and the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who used this house as a cover were naturally all killed in the explosion.

Subsequently, the mortar platoon shelled other houses used as shelter by the Eight-Nation Coalition Army one by name, and as a result, it only took two or three minutes to destroy six houses in a row, and dozens of coalition soldiers were killed by the explosion, while the other soldiers dared to hide in their houses, and they all withdrew from their houses and retreated into the town. Luo Yue immediately led the soldiers of his platoon to advance towards the town of Komagawa, and the mortars also extended their fire forward, striking at the depth of the enemy's troops.

Luo Yue was the first to rush into the town, raising his gun and firing a burst, killing the two British soldiers who were hiding behind the half-cut low wall, and other soldiers also rushed into the town one after another, raising their guns and shooting, and some of the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance who had escaped the shelling were shot and fell to the ground and died. Two warrior vans, also carrying heavy machine gun crews, drove into the town of Komagawa with the soldiers.

After entering the town, Luo Yue immediately commanded the whole platoon to disperse into squads, the first and second squads were separated from each other to cover, and the third squad was in the center to break through, and each squad was divided into three groups, and the two machine gun groups took turns to shoot, always maintaining uninterrupted suppressive shooting, and alternately covering the advance, while the other group followed up and waited for the opportunity to shoot, or the sniper sniped the enemy commander, or the bazooka to kill the enemy's stronghold. Since the distance between the two sides had been shortened to about 100 meters at this time, the mortar strikes behind were forced to be extended, and the help to the assault troops was greatly weakened, and they could only rely on the firepower of the assault troops themselves.

However, the Eight-Nation Alliance did not set up fortifications in the town, so after Luo Yue's troops broke into the town of Juhe, they either formed a platoon of guns to block the attack, or they could only rely on the houses in the town to resist.

However, this kind of platoon gun array is simply a live target for the assault troops, and often before the coalition forces can arrange the array, they are violently strafed by the automatic rifles and squad machine guns of the assault troops, and they fall to the ground and die like mowing grass. Moreover, the fire of the assault troops alternated almost without interruption, so that the coalition forces were simply unable to organize an effective array of guns.

And relying on the house resistance is no better. Although it was impossible to rely on mortars for fixed-point strikes, Luo Yue's troops still had two rocket launcher groups, although they were only small rocket launchers of 40 mm caliber, but they were still enough to deal with the houses in the town, and because of the close distance, the bazooka men were also aimed at the doors and windows, and they could always accurately hit the shells into the house.

As a result, the advancing troops fought steadily and steadily, advancing layer by layer, while the Eight-Nation Coalition was beaten with heavy casualties and forced to retreat again and again.
