Chapter 149: Role Reversal

Zuo was still arguing at the brigade headquarters more than 500 meters away from the front line, but there was already gunfire in front of him.

After the artillery fire of the 217th Regiment stopped, it sent two infantry companies to advance from the central direction as the main attack, and two other infantry companies from both flanks to bypass the rear of the Japanese army and attack the last trench of the Japanese army in the direction of the central position.

The two infantry battalions did not have many heavy machine guns, only 10 in total, and they were the first to suppress fire on both flanks of the position.

The Japanese grenadiers angrily attacked the Chinese heavy machine gun fire points.

The reason why the word anger is added is very simple, it seems that this is the tactic they used to use against the Chinese, but now it is being used by the Chinese against them.

If the infantry could not rush, it would be bombarded by artillery, and after the artillery bombarded the infantry attack, the main force in the direction of the main position was pinned, and the two wings sent small forces to attack and harass or even go around to the rear of the position.

To put it bluntly, this is also a prototype of the interspersed encirclement of the Red Army's large corps in later generations, but now the scale is much smaller.

More importantly, the Chinese swaggered to place heavy machine gun fire points more than 400 meters away to suppress them, while they had no heavy machine guns and infantry guns.

The reason is also simple, under the shelling of 8 mountain guns, people can get into anti-artillery holes and trenches, heavy machine guns and infantry guns cannot, and no one dares to carry these heavy big guys around, so they can only put these heavy equipment in the improvised fortifications in the mountains to see their luck.

The so-called improvised fortifications are to build a circle of sandbags around these pieces of equipment to block bullets, but cannonballs? It's more accurate to draw a circle with a sandbag and tell people that there are heavy weapons here.

After all, no one expected that the Chinese would boldly go out of the pass to counter-encircle the Imperial Japanese Army, which still had four or five thousand troops, although more than 2,000 of them were infantry of the Manchurian brigade. Without such a understanding, who would build perfect civil fortifications for these equipment?

Of course, the Japanese army could not think of the real reason that prompted these Chinese troops to boldly go out of the hilltop position to fight them in the field, not because they felt that their troops were sufficient, nor because they felt that the Japanese army was now seriously attrition, but because of the hundreds of Chinese soldiers who were desperately surrounded by the Japanese army.

In the words of the emotional Lieutenant General Feng: If you don't even dare to save your own soldiers and don't save them, then there is still a bird for guarding the Great Wall? Without soldiers, no matter how many cities there are, they will be breached by the Japanese army.

Since the September 18 Incident, the Chinese army has been defeated again and again in the war against Japan, and has almost no victories, and the Battle of Rehe a month ago was even more miserable, with more than 100,000 troops having a strong defensive line that had been built for several months, and in the end it was also defeated for thousands of miles.

Not to mention any field battles, even the 29th Army, which was formed on the basis of the Northwest Army, was a fairly strong army, and it was a defense line in the mountains and mountains, and it never said that it fought with the Japanese army. It was a continuous failure, which made the Chinese army already have a shadow in its heart, coupled with the gap in the equipment itself, it was natural that it could only focus on defense.

However, for the sake of the hundreds of Chinese officers and soldiers who were besieged, a general and three lieutenant generals were considered to be out of the way, and gambled on their own generals, reinforcing Luo Wenyu's two full infantry regiments plus all the troops of the temporary 2nd Division at the pass, and determined to fight to the death with the 4th Infantry Brigade in front of the Luo Wenyu Pass.

That's why we're in the current situation.

And just relying on luck and simple sandbag fortifications to carry the howitzer for more than two hours without stopping the shelling, that is really too much to think.

To tell the truth, the reason why Liu Lang did not hesitate to bombard ammunition and kill the Japanese army was secondary, after all, people can hide, and the main purpose is to target these heavy equipment exposed in the field.

Without these things, the Japanese army is a toothless tiger.

The Japanese had less than four heavy machine guns and about three infantry guns that were able to escape artillery fire, and the loss of heavy equipment exceeded 70 percent.

The Japanese army naturally knew that the 300 infantry that was approaching them was actually a feint, that is, to find out their heavy firepower points, and then destroy them with artillery, and when these last heavy equipment were finished, it might not be two infantry companies but two infantry battalions that rushed over.

It must be hidden and tucked! Once the hole cards are gone, the eight Ga is still playing a bird!

In other words, the current Japanese army is the same as the Chinese army that was once bullied by them with heavy firepower, and the roles of the two sides have been perfectly reversed.

There is nothing more wonderful than this.

There were quite a few grenadiers in the Japanese army, about a dozen of them, and a round of grenades was knocked down, and the heavy machine gun position was filled with gunsmoke, and two heavy machine guns were destroyed in a row, and the rest were hurriedly moved with heavy machine guns.

But the Japanese army has grenadiers, the 217th Regiment also has it, and an infantry company also has six, and they may not be as accurate as these Japanese veterans, but they are close now! The distance in a straight line is no more than 300 meters, and it is much less difficult to shoot.

There were 24 infantry companies in four companies, and before they could attack, they were ordered to find the Japanese heavy machine guns or grenadiers and kill them.

More than 20 grenadiers retaliated against the Japanese grenadiers who dared to fire grenades almost within 30 seconds.

It also filled the Japanese position with gunsmoke.

This trick was suggested by Liu Lang to Wang Changhai, using grenadiers to counter grenadiers. Moreover, when Liu Lang suggested tactics to Wang Changhai, he deliberately explained that each grenadier group was equipped with at least four precision shooters, and their existence was to counter-snipe the Japanese soldiers who dared to shoot at the grenadiers.

Although he doesn't really understand what sniping means, as a soldier with incomparably rich battlefield experience, Lao Wang is keenly aware of the importance of shooting cold guns on the battlefield.

Four precision shooters and a grenadier team can not only protect the grenadier team with an attack distance of up to 500 meters, but also use archery skills to shoot the Japanese army, which is simply a deadly combination.

Thus, in the rear of the battlefield, there were 24 such special combat groups that could attack both heavy machine guns and infantry at close range.

In actual combat, it really worked wonders, but all the Japanese soldiers who secretly shot at the grenadier group were basically quietly ambushed by the surrounding 4 precision shooters selected from the elite veterans, even if they were not shot, the accurate counterattack could make them only hide in the trenches, and the threat of the two soldiers of the grenadier team was greatly reduced.

The grenadier group suppressed the opposing grenadiers, the heavy machine guns spoke again, and the prostrate infantry began to hook their waists again.

The Japanese heavy machine guns and light machine guns had no choice but to shoot to suppress, and then, they were hit from afar, in addition to grenadiers, there were also 4 82 mortars of the 217th Regiment, which was the killer weapon of the 217th Regiment.

Just hide 600 meters away, waiting for the Japanese heavy machine guns to appear.

In a cautious position, the mountain artillery was not used this time, but these grenadiers and mortars alone had already made the Japanese army miserable, and the heavy machine guns were driven like dogs, and if they emptied a 30-round bullet plate, they had to carry the heavy machine guns and run away, otherwise they might be targeted by mortar shells and grenade grenades thrown in the air.

And what is the difference between thirty rounds of ammunition and twenty rounds of light machine guns? There is simply no way to form a continuous suppressive fire.

The Japanese army, which lacked heavy firepower, was turned into a light machine gun by the 217th regiment, do you say that it is not aggrieved?

No matter how aggrieved you are, you have to watch the two infantry companies approach the front of the position little by little, that kind of feeling, not to mention, is both aggrieved and desperate, mixed with an extremely strange feeling of relief.

It seems that since we can't beat it, let's escape! It's not the first time anyway.

Yes, there are some things, as long as you step on the bottom line once, and do it again next time, you will be much calmer.

For example, as long as you go to the Qinglou, you will be a regular visitor in the future。。。。。。
