Chapter 58: Annihilation (3)

Although the Chechen War, the Afghanistan War, and the War on Terror later proved that the infantry had not yet withdrawn from the battlefield, it could not be denied that the frontal attack on land had been completed by the armored forces and the air strike forces, and the infantry could only be used as an auxiliary force, following behind the armored forces, doing some occupation, vigilance, guarding, and Logistics and other finishing work to clean up the mess.

However, in some special battlefields, such as urban warfare, mountain warfare, and jungle warfare, they still still have to rely on infantry, which is also an important reason why warfare can never do without infantry. Therefore, the training of infantry in modern warfare is mainly based on the tactics of street warfare, mountain warfare, jungle warfare, and special operations. Moreover, the weapons of the infantry configuration are gradually adapting to these modes of operation, such as the trend of modern assault rifles is getting shorter and shorter, and the caliber is also in the small caliber of 5.6-5.8 mm. As well as the supportless design, light machine guns, small-caliber rocket launchers, grenade launchers, etc., are all weapons suitable for fighting in close and complex environments.

The current combat mode happens to be the most suitable street combat mode for the assault troops, with the fighters taking cover alternately, some paying for the assault, some paying the responsibility for the side response, some paying the responsibility for attacking the enemy with heavy weapons, and some paying the responsibility for sniping the enemy's commanders.

In this era, it was still an era when queue shots and linear arrays were popular, and the main mode of warfare was also based on battle, and there was no concept of street fighting at all. This is not to say that there are no street battles in this era, and as long as you can win the battle, then the battle is decided.

Even if it is an offensive and defensive battle in the city, the defending side is also accustomed to the tactical idea of "keeping the enemy out of the country", as long as the defense line on the periphery of the city is broken, the defenders will basically be defeated, even if the losing side retreats into the city to fight street battles, it is just the last dying struggle, but it has no impact on the overall situation. There will never be a deliberately organized street fight, or a battle in which you lose a battle, but you rely on retreating into the city to fight a street battle to win.

Not to mention the street fighting tactics and the disparity in the weapons of the two sides. The Eight-Nation Coalition uses pull-bolt rifles, and when you shoot a shot, you have to pull the bolt to retract and reset before you can shoot again, and that's it, the magazine capacity of pull-bolt rifles is generally six rounds, and it has to be reloaded after the shot.

The weapons of the assault troops are not only assault rifles, squad machine guns, and rocket launchers, but also egg grenades and gun grenade launchers, forming a multi-layered, point-killing and surface-to-surface firepower superiority, which is not at all something that the Eight-Nation Coalition can compete with.

If it is in the field, the Eight-Nation Coalition may still be able to compete with the assault force by virtue of its numerical superiority, or after withstanding the fire strike of the assault force, it will come up close to carry out white-knuckle combat, but the roads in the town are narrow and the room for maneuver is limited, so the strength of the Eight-Nation Coalition cannot be deployed, and the numerical advantage is not brought into play at all, and as a result, it is defeated and retreated, and there are heavy casualties.

At this time, the other two marine platoons also attacked from both sides of the town, and because the attention of the Eight-Nation Coalition was attracted by the frontal assault force at this time, and there was almost no defense on the flank, the two Marine Platoons broke into the town very easily and launched an attack on both sides of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Originally, in the face of a frontal advance, although the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was defeated and retreated, it was still able to organize resistance without being forced, but the flank was attacked again, and the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was suddenly thrown into chaos, the defense line collapsed, and the soldiers scattered and fled. The three marine platoons converged at the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army in Juhe Town and surrounded the headquarters, and at this time, there were only more than 100 Eight-Nation Coalition troops guarding the headquarters, and the Japanese army accounted for about half of them, and they were still desperately resisting.

At this time, the entire battle had only been going on for more than 40 minutes, and the landing force had achieved absolute superiority, and the casualties were few, and even Qiu Yahui did not expect that the battle would go so smoothly. At this time, however, the disadvantage of the landing force was exposed, and although the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was not surrounded by the landing force, there were still many remaining soldiers who scattered and fled out of the town, but the landing force did not have enough troops to pursue them.

Qiu Yahui had no choice but to comfort himself, with more than 100 people, it was very good to be able to achieve such a result, don't expect to annihilate the enemy army. And that's it, it can be regarded as annihilating this eight-nation coalition army.

However, at this moment, reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, much earlier than Qiu Yahui expected. It turned out that the reinforcement force received Qiu Yahui's notice and knew that the plan had changed, and the landing force had changed from holding back the Eight-Nation Coalition Army to formally attacking ahead of schedule. After consulting the headquarters, the reinforcements decided to go ashore in hovercraft and send the reinforcements directly to the battlefield.

The hovercraft is originally dual-use, and the requirements for the terrain are not high, but the hovercraft itself is a very fuel-consuming vehicle, and the fuel consumption of sailing on land to sail on the sea surface is greater, but now that the war situation is the mainstay, it is impossible to think about saving fuel. The Type 726 hovercraft that crossed the fleet could reach a maximum speed of 45 knots, or about 80 km/h, so after going ashore, they quickly arrived on the battlefield and sent reinforcements in time.

Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived at the battlefield ahead of schedule, Qiu Yahui couldn't help but be overjoyed, it was too late, so he immediately ordered the two marine companies of the reinforcements to immediately disperse into platoons and attack separately to pursue and search for the fleeing Eight-Nation Alliance deserters in the surrounding area of Juhe Town. After arranging these things, Qiu Yahui entered Juhe Town with the mortar company of the reinforcement force and commanded the battle to attack the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

The headquarters of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army in Komagawa Town is an inn, which is naturally the best and largest inn in the town. It is a two-story building, a mixed civil and engineering structure, with a total of more than 20 guest rooms, and a large courtyard downstairs, the courtyard wall is made of stone mixed with yellow mud, more than a foot thick, about 1.8 meters high, it is indeed a suitable place to be a headquarters.

Originally, at the beginning of the battle, the commanders of the Eight-Nation Alliance still had the possibility of escaping, but several commanders were people who wanted to save face, or qualified soldiers, and naturally did not want to flee from the battlefield easily, so they all thought about resisting for a while before speaking, but no one expected that in less than an hour, the battle situation would develop to the point that the Eight-Nation Alliance Army was completely defeated, and even the headquarters were surrounded. Several commanders naturally regretted even their bowels at this time.

However, it was useless to regret it, and the commanders of the Eight-Nation Coalition had to brace themselves to command the operation, and they had to hold the headquarters anyway. Under the blow of the landing force, the defense lines of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army on the periphery of the headquarters were defeated and retreated, and after a while, they all retreated to the courtyard of the headquarters to garrison.

At this time, Qiu Yahui arrived at the position and saw that the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was surrounded, so he ordered to temporarily stop the attack, but shouted to the Eight-Nation Alliance, asking the Coalition Army to surrender. First, it can save ammunition, and second, the more prisoners are captured, the more bargaining chips will be in negotiations with the eight powers in the future. And Qiu Yahui also knows that the yellow-haired and white-skinned are not humiliated by surrender, and most of them will choose to surrender when they are cornered on the battlefield.

But the result was a bit of a surprise to Qiu Yahui, and the Eight-Nation Coalition replied to them with a volley of guns and wounded two soldiers. Qiu Yahui couldn't help but be furious, and said: "His grandmother's, Jing Ran is shameless, beaten hard, and blasted the courtyard wall with rocket artillery." ”

Platoon commander Ran Runfeng said: "Company commander, I tried it just now, this wall is made of stones, and the bazooka can't penetrate it. ”

Qiu Yahui nodded and said, "No wonder the foreigner refuses to surrender, then let me use a mortar to bombard the courtyard and collapse the houses inside, and see where they can hide." ”

At this time, Luo Yue said: "Company Commander Qiu, I don't think I'll use mortars first, try with guns and grenades." ”

The grenade is a kind of large-caliber ammunition that is hung in front of the barrel and fired with a gun bullet, and is a point and surface killing weapon used by infantry at medium and close ranges, mainly used to kill and injure living targets, destroy various lightly armored targets, permanent fire points and other field fortifications. Thus, the armament of gun grenades has greatly increased the combat capabilities of infantry against point, surface and anti-armor targets on the modern battlefield.

There are two types of grenade firing devices, one is a grenade launcher that is temporarily hung under the muzzle, and the other is a device that directly makes the muzzle suitable for firing grenades. However, gun-mounted grenade launchers are generally used. Because such a design is easy to use and concentrates the advantages of assault rifles and firing grenades.

At the beginning of the design of the Type 95 rifle, it was considered to develop a matching gun-mounted grenade launcher, which can fire a 35 mm caliber grenade, which is divided into anti-personnel grenades, anti-tank gun grenades, anti-personnel armor-piercing gun grenades, incendiary gun grenades, smoke gun grenades, lighting gun grenades, anti-riot gun grenades, etc., the firing range is generally between 100 meters and 300 meters, which can make up for the blank distance between the bazooka and the hand-thrown grenade, enrich the surface killing level of individual soldiers, and can greatly strengthen the individual combat capability of infantry.

In the platoon-level battle sequence, the platoon commander, squad leader, and deputy squad leader are equipped with gun-mounted grenade launchers, ranging from six to ten rounds of ammunition. The types of bullets are configured according to the battle.

After listening to Luo Yue's suggestion, Qiu Yahui nodded, of course he knew that it was indeed a bit of a knife to kill chickens with a mortar bombardment against such a target, and it was more appropriate to use a gun grenade, so he said: "Okay, launch a gun grenade." ”
