Chapter 460 is neat
The Devil Grenadier had no cover from the terrain, was directly exposed to the bare road, and lost its distance advantage, and like its heavy machine gun, it did not play any role.
The devil dealt with the three major weapons of the Chinese army, machine guns, infantry guns, and grenadiers, which were not outstanding weapons in this era, but they were used to the limit by the devils.
Especially against the Huaxia army, it is really invincible, but without the fire support of these three weapons, the infantry tactics used by the little devils cannot be used, and they lose their usual strong combat effectiveness.
Although the devil is stubbornly resisting, he is simply unable to resist in the face of the dense firepower coming from all directions.
In the absence of the threat of grenadiers and heavy machine guns, the commandos of the iron egg easily suppressed the devil's firepower, and the devil's light machine gun was also seen dead, the machine gunner was already finished, the devil rifleman who dared to get close to the machine gun died, there was a vacant area around the devil's machine gun, and no living person dared to approach the area where the machine gun was placed.
Without the support of firepower, the Japanese puppet army, under the superior firepower of the New Ninth Regiment, could not hold on at all, and under the order of the devil commander, it began to break through.
At this time, the commander of the devil is no longer Yoshida Masanobu, under the key care of the iron egg riflemen, there is not a single officer left of the devil, and the commander of the battle at this time is a devil Cao Chang.
Taking over the command, he saw that he could not do anything, and decisively ordered a breakthrough, and in the face of the Japanese puppet army's death-defying breakthrough, Zhang Yunfei did not give the order to charge.
In the case of his own advantage, it is really not worth fighting bayonets with the other party, Zhang Yunfei would rather let the Japanese puppet army escape partially, rather than pay additional casualties.
To put it mildly, it's okay to die on the spot, but if you are injured and tortured, the Eighth Route Army has no medical conditions.
The Eighth Route Army really can't afford to be injured, and the hygienist can only do a simple bandage, and God will decide the rest.
At present, relying on superior firepower, everything is controllable, and the casualties of the troops are not large, but once they engage with the opponent in a short battle, it is equivalent to giving up the firepower advantage.
Fighting a white-knuckle battle with the other side, especially when the Japanese puppet army is in a hurry to flee for its life, it will really be desperate, and the fighting method of exchanging lives for lives will be difficult to predict the casualties at that time.
The lives of his own soldiers are still precious, Zhang Yunfei would rather consume more bullets than just exchange the lives of the soldiers, so Zhang Yunfei just ordered everyone to fire with all their strength to block the breakthrough of the Japanese puppet army in the ambush circle, and only attacked with firepower, and never launched a charge.
In the end, a small part of the Japanese puppet army broke out of the encirclement and fled to the south.
Zhang Yunfei had expected this, and he didn't feel much regret, ambush warfare was originally to grasp the fighter plane, but also to grasp the rhythm, when it was time to fight, it must be fierce, and when it was time to stop, it must also be decisive.
Their enemies are not only this group of enemies, but also this group of Japanese puppet troops are completely annihilated, and the war of resistance will be won, so it is worth fighting all these people.
But the reality is not like this, now they are equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest, and the next will only face more crazy encirclement and suppression by the devils, with too many casualties or too many wounded, and too many losses of combat power, which is very unfavorable for their next battle.
After the battle, Zhang Yunfei ordered to quickly clean up the battlefield, and Zhao Wenzhou still had some opinions about Zhang Yunfei's operation: "Why don't you completely solve them, Lao Zhang, we can completely block the enemy, and we can solve them with a charge." ”
Regarding Zhao Wenzhou's dissatisfaction, Zhang Yunfei glanced at the troops who were cleaning up the battlefield and explained: "Old Zhao, this is not how the accounts are calculated, our New Ninth Regiment is now the only unit active on the outer line, we must always maintain the best condition, the brother troops may need to respond at any time, this is more important than how many enemies are destroyed." ”
"Don't forget, we are alone at the moment, and every additional casualty will be worse for us, even if we destroy this group of enemies, will the strength of the surrounding enemies be weakened?"
"Plugging them, we need to pay more casualties and ammunition, that's a senseless price, one more wounded, it's a serious burden for us now, we have to eat one bite at a time, it's impossible to expect to eat a meal to become fat, just choke or hold on, we still can't be too greedy."
Zhang Yunfei persuaded and comforted Zhao Wenzhou, and then urged the troops to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield.
He could understand the mood of the political commissar, and the Eighth Route Army, which had no logistical support, could only do everything possible to seize the spoils of war from the enemy for replenishment.
And in this battle in front of them, they are fully capable of leaving all the enemies behind, but they are still partially slipped away by the enemy, and the weapons and ammunition they took away, this should have been theirs, this can't be thought, it hurts when you think about it.
The skill of cleaning the battlefield is contagious, and even new soldiers are extremely good at cleaning the battlefield.
No one is from a good background, they will live, those puppet army, the soldiers from the Kuomintang, at first were not too skilled in this matter, after a long time, under the words and deeds of the old soldiers, they soon became proficient.
So the one that was cleaned was called a clean, and the belts, ammunition boxes, steel helmets, water bottles, leather shoes, etc., all that could be used by the Japanese puppet army were basically swept away.
It's a bit of a pity that the devil's heavy machine gun was blown up, but some parts are still usable, and they are dismantled and taken away, and maybe they can exchange something with their superiors at that time.
This time, a lot of weapons and ammunition of the Japanese puppet army were captured, which still made Zhang Yunfei gain a lot.
The amount of ammunition carried by the devils was very large, and the ammunition reserve of a squad sometimes exceeded the ammunition of a regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
This is also the reason why it is difficult to fight the devils with full firepower, they are too proud for the Eight Roads, of course they can kill them, and they will gain a lot.
With this harvest, now his new Ninth Regiment can be described as strong, and the machine guns can be configured to the platoon level.
After cleaning the battlefield, Zhang Yunfei covered with three consecutive breaks, and the whole regiment immediately retreated to the northeast.
Zhang Yunfei left with a full harvest, and the Japanese puppet army who escaped was in a different mood, and when the devil Cao Chang stopped to gather the troops, he found that there were only seven people left in the imperial army, including him, and he was the only commander.
Looking at the security forces again, only about 300 of them escaped, compared to 8 or 900 in the two battalions of the security forces.
The devil Cao Chang really can't accuse them of ineffective fighting, after all, they also suffer huge casualties.
But when he saw the officers of the security army, he still had the urge to cut people, although these officers of the security army were a little embarrassed, but two battalion commanders and six company commanders, all of them were all bearded and tailed, and there was no one missing.
Compared with the imperial army, all the non-commissioned officers and corporal officers are all broken, how can the devil Cao Chang be in a good mood.
