At this time, nearly two years have passed since the full-scale war between China and Japan, and it is an indisputable fact that in these two years of war, the Chinese army has lost too many veterans, and its combat effectiveness has fallen off a cliff.

But this was not the case with the Japanese army, which had trained a large number of recruits after two years of war.

During the two-year war, nearly one million Japanese recruits gained valuable combat experience and quickly grew into veterans with rich field experience.

For example, the devil lieutenant who is leading the team now is only a non-commissioned officer who has just graduated from the army non-commissioned officer school when he participated in the Battle of Songhu, but after two years, this little devil has become an extremely old and spicy veteran of a hundred battles.

"Forward, infantry squad, keep moving! Just give me the go! ”

"Heavy machine gun squad, fire suppression!"

"Grenadier group, two rapid fire!"

"Forward, forward!"

Lieutenant Devil held his saber and strode forward while giving orders in an orderly manner, this little devil was full of contempt for the Chinese defenders at the head of the city, and he didn't even bend his waist.

The more than 100 devil infantry who accompanied him also held bayonets and moved forward.

In addition, the two Type 92 heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun group had already been set up and fired fiercely at the head of the East Gate City, and the two grenadiers of the grenadier group had also been set up and fired continuously at the East Gate Tower.

……

On the east gate of Fuyang County, Ma Fei and more than a dozen patrol policemen had already shrunk into a ball.

"Boom!" Two grenades landed on the city, and a dazzling red light rose from the violent explosion, followed by black smoke billowing up, and in the billowing smoke, the two patrol officers had been blown to the ground.

"Old Seven!" When Ma Fei was about to step forward to inspect, there were two more booms.

In the violent explosion, Ma Fei's body was blown up into the air.

When he fell from the sky, Ma Fei's entire body was already stained red with blood, and one of his right arms disappeared from below the elbow, leaving only half of the white bone.

"Little devil, your ancestor!"

A patrolman couldn't stand the stimulus and stood up with a Hanyang-made rifle.

In the next moment, a dazzling tongue of fire slammed over like a whip, knocking the patrolman to the ground.

When the other two patrolmen in the vicinity crawled over to investigate, they saw that the patrolman's chest had been beaten into a sieve, and blood was gushing out like a fountain.

The remaining patrolmen huddled in a ball, at a loss.

At this moment, the gunfire and explosions suddenly stopped.

A few patrol officers seemed to realize something, and when they looked back, they saw that more than a dozen devils had rushed to the city with the 38 big covers with bayonets attached, and the bright bayonets reflected a dazzling cold light under the light of the setting sun.

"Dog's day, grandpa fought with you!" Not a single patrolman bayonet was on it, and he rushed straight to the rifle.

A short, stout devil greeted him and looked at the patrolman who rushed over, with a look of disdain on his face.

In the blink of an eye, the Chinese patrol rushed to the devil, only to see that the devil followed the standard infantry drill, lunge after lunge, and the sharp bayonet accurately pierced the heart of the Chinese patrol police.

The Chinese patrolman's body slammed, and then his body went limp.

By this time, the other devils had already stabbed the remaining patrol officers to death.

In the face of the devil infantry, who has already experienced countless battles, the Chinese patrol, who has not even touched the rifle much, is not an opponent at all, this is simply a one-sided massacre.

Only Ma Fei was pulling a grenade with his only left hand.

It's a pity that the devil's reaction was too fast and they all dodged.

After the explosion, the Fuyang East Gate Tower was silent again.

Under the city tower, groups of devil soldiers are rushing in.

……

Half an hour later, at the headquarters of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army in Shanghai.

Changjun walked into the war room again with a telegram and reported: "Report, Fujii Brigade telegraphed that the Fourth Squadron of the First Forward Infantry Brigade of the brigade has captured Fuyang County and there are no casualties. ”

"Got it." Hinata took the telegram, and Nagatoshi turned around and left.

But before leaving, Changjun's gaze swept over the simulated sand table.

I saw that compared with the last time, the situation of the enemy on the simulated sand table has not changed much.

Hinata Shiaki walked up to Usamitaka and reported, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Fujii Brigade has just captured the county seat of Fuyang, and there are no casualties. ”

"Oh? No casualties? Before Usamitaka could speak, a voice suddenly interjected, "Has the combat effectiveness of the Shina Army fallen to this point?" ”

Usamitaka and Hinata Shiaki turned back sharply, and saw that the commander Nishio Toshizo had already walked over.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief!" Usamitaka Usami, Hinata Shiaki, and a staff officer in the war room all brushed their heads and bowed.

"Keep busy with you." Nishio Shouzo waved his hand and motioned for the combat staff officers to continue the sand table operation, and then walked up to Usamitaka and Hinata Shiaki.

Nishio Shouzo asked again, "Usami-kun, is the war going well?" ”

"Hello, it went well." Usami Longton said, "It was even smoother than expected, not only did the landing of the 22nd Division in Wenzhou Bay not encounter any resistance, but the advance of the 11th Brigade along the Fuchun River North did not encounter decent resistance, if this advance rate is followed, it will only take half a month at most to occupy central and western Zhejiang." ”

Nishio Shouzo nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Could this be Zhong Yi's sports battle?" ”

"Hello." Usami Roncho said, "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I have been figuring out the so-called sports warfare these days, and I will also have repeated discussions with Hinata Shijun and the staff officers of the General Staff. ”

"Avoiding the real and attacking the false?" Nishio Shouzo, "How can you avoid the real and attack the virtual?" ”

Usamitaka said: "To put it simply, it is not to make direct contact with our attacking troops, but to deploy troops on the flanks and fight the baggage troops of the imperial army, this method of operation is actually not new at all. ”

"Oh, really?" Nishio Shou said, "Usami-kun has ever seen such a tactic? ”

"Not really." Usamitaka shook his head, and then said, "But I have seen similar tactics from the battle reports of the North China Front, and the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Hebei used such tactics, but in the North China Battlefield, this tactic is called Sparrow Warfare, not Movement Warfare. ”
