Chapter 59: Grenades are Equivalent to Hand Cannons
The Japanese squadron leader who was ordered to come to reinforce Juxian did not know what was going on in Juxian at all. Although the county guard of Juxian reported the news of the attack on the rebels, the above did not know the actual situation in Juxian.
Based on the analysis of the surrounding resistance forces, the Japanese army felt that the attack on Juxian was likely to be caused by a conflict caused by a popular uprising, or a rebellion by prisoners of war held in Juxian, and finally captured the county town defended by the plains of the river valley.
It was precisely because of their ignorance of the situation that the Japanese squadron that had been ordered to rush in was not at all clear what the enemy was that they needed to face. The rebels formed by the people, or the rebels organized by prisoners of war, were similar to the rabble.
To deal with this kind of resistance, sending a Japanese squadron to suppress it is naturally a matter of being captured. The reality in front of him clearly told the Japanese squadron leader that his unit was ambushed by at least one regimental regular army.
Looking at the soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground, as well as the screams and cries for help from the wounded soldiers, the highway where the Japanese army was located quickly turned into a bloody place full of gunsmoke. But for the prisoners of war on the mountain beams, they experienced a joy that they had never experienced before.
"Grandma, little devil, you also have today! Hit, hit me hard, aim and hit, don't let go of a devil! Think of our crimes, think of those comrades who died at the guns of the little devils, we have to avenge them! ”
"Revenge! Avenge! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The officers in command began to boost the morale of the army, lying in the trenches to ambush the Japanese prisoners of war, their faces full of excitement, screaming to find the little devil for revenge. This kind of morale is also extremely important for the newly released prisoners of war.
After being defeated and captured in the previous battle, many soldiers had a kind of unconfident mentality in the face of little devils. If they want to break out of the encirclement safely and join up with the large forces in the rear, they must regain their confidence.
The best way to build confidence is to defeat the imps on the battlefield. The ambush battle that was going on in front of us was sealed from the moment the battle began. The little devil who was blocked on the highway can't escape at this moment!
Hu Biao, who was blocking the Japanese army in front, also quickly saw a platoon brought by Tian Sili, and after letting him take over the battle, Hu Biao detoured to the place where Xu Mingzhi was and continued to watch the battle on the road.
When he saw that many little devils were hiding in the ditches next to the highway and were still resisting. Hu Biao also said directly: "Second bolt, find some grenades for me!" Lao Xu, let the third company support the Qin squad leader and them, and be sure to block the retreat of the little devil. ”
"Yes! Li Zhibin, take your company to the other side of the mountain and support the Qin squad leader. When you have captured weapons on the battlefield, you can arm them on the spot. The weapons left over there are enough to arm your entire company. ”
"Yes! I'll take someone there! ”
At this moment, the troops involved in the ambush are more of the first and second companies of the Snow Shame Battalion. The third company acted as a reserve, spending more time watching the excitement and being responsible for throwing grenades. Before leaving the city, the third company was armed with only one platoon.
The remaining three platoons were mostly self-defended with grenades. After this battle, the supply of guns and ammunition on the spot also made the third company, a combat company, more worthy of its name. How can a soldier fight without weapons?
When Xu Mingzhi commanded Li Zhibin to lead the team to support Qin Tianyou and others to copy the back road of the little devils, Hu Biao took Huang Erzhuan to the nearest trench from the highway. Looking at the little devil hiding in the ditch, Hu Biao also signaled: "Stop shooting!" ”
At the sound of the order, many fighters stopped firing. In fact, at this moment, there are no living little devils on the road. The surviving little devils, without exception, hid in the ditches of the highway and used the ditches as trenches to protect themselves.
Even if the mud in the ditch is very dirty, in order to save his life, the little devil naturally can't take care of this, and even starts to fight back with the help of the ditch cover. Although the force of the return fire was not large, it posed a threat to the fighters of the Snow Shame Camp.
It was precisely seeing this scene that Hu Biao ordered to stop shooting. The reason is that although many fighters aim and shoot, most of the bullets are flying. There are very few fighters who are able to hit the little devils who are hiding in the ditch and return fire.
When the gunfire stopped, Hu Biao continued: "Although the bullets are enough, you can't shoot indiscriminately, it's not a good habit to waste bullets like this." Take aim, feel confident and shoot again, don't let the gun go anywhere, understand? ”
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
Although some fighters proposed, rush down in one go and engage in white-knuckle combat with the little devils. But Hu Biao quickly said: "You have all been on the battlefield, you should know that the little devil has a hand in fighting bayonets, let's not touch that moldy head."
The most important thing is that we have victory in sight, and in the process of rushing down, there will definitely be casualties. It's hard to pick up a life, and you can't lose it in this kind of place in vain, what a pity! ”
"Battalion commander, you can't stay anywhere! These little devils are thieves! It's not easy to lie in the ditch, and if it drags on for a long time, I'm afraid there will be trouble! Looking at the little devil's frame, I should want to resist to delay time! ”
"Don't worry! Wait a minute, you will know what it means to be cocooned! If you can escape by hiding in a ditch, it is simply wishful thinking. I'll teach you a trick today, what is volley bombing! ”
Hu Biao, who was talking, took the grenade collected by Huang Erzhuo, pulled off the bolt and said: "This is the little devil's gourd grenade, you need to snort to trigger the fuse." Normally, many people throw it out after swallowing it.
That's right, but if you meet someone with an experienced hand, you can throw the grenade you out and throw it back for you. The reason is that the explosion delay of this kind of Japanese grenade is longer than the grenade we are equipped with.
If you hold a grenade in your hand for three seconds before throwing it, then quickly throw it. In the case of a short distance, the grenade basically explodes when it lands, and others want to pick it up and throw it back, but it is too late in time.
If you have enough strength to throw it farther away, then grenades, an infantry weapon, can also have the same effect as a cannon. The specific effect, you keep your eyes open. Phew, one, two, three, throw! ”
Ratting a grenade, Hu Biao, who read for three seconds, threw it hard. watched the grenade tumbling in the air, flying directly over the ditch where the little devil was hiding, and exploded in the air before it landed.
Looking at the grenades that burst into countless shrapnel in the air, and the screams of the little devils hiding in the ditch, the soldiers who witnessed all this couldn't help but shout loudly: "Battalion commander, it's a good explosion!" ”
"! What is called the battalion commander fried well! It should be said that the battalion commander threw beautifully! ”
Laughing and scolding, Hu Biao threw the grenade with a delay while throwing it out. Every grenade, without exception, exploded in the air. Walking along the trenches, Hu Biao used grenades to blow up the ditch in turn.
Xu Mingzhi, who also came from behind, was also extremely impressed when he saw this scene. Don't look at Hu Biao's relaxation, but for many fighters, if they want to master this kind of delaying technique, they also need calmness and courage beyond ordinary people.
When you read the seconds in your mind, once you read it wrong, it is very likely that the grenade will explode before it is thrown. In that case, not only will it not blow up the enemy, but it will be easy to cause accidental damage. can use the Japanese grenade to such an extent, Hu Biao is indeed the first one Xu Mingzhi has ever seen.
After pausing for a while, seeing that the little devil in the ditch didn't move, Hu Biao said: "Lao Xu, send two platoons down and start cleaning up the battlefield." Tell our warriors not to be merciful when they see the little devils wounded.
We don't want to take prisoners, as long as the little devils who can still breathe, give them a shot. Remember, don't rely on the little devil to get too close to the wounded, otherwise the little devil will pull someone to accompany the burial, which will be too worthless.
Also, even if the little devils have already been killed, let the soldiers mend their knives first when they pass by, and make sure that there will be nothing to pretend to be dead. At this point, it would be too unjust to have any more casualties. This one should be conveyed as a rule! ”
"Yes, I'll send someone down to clean up the battlefield!"
The soldiers lying near the trench also felt warm in their hearts when they heard what Hu Biao said to Xu Mingzhi. From the start of the ambush to the cleaning of the battlefield at this moment, Hu Biao has always valued their lives very seriously.
Compared with the past in the army, those commanders let them charge desperately at every turn, but they hid behind and only opened their mouths and did not move, Hu Biao's alternative command style was once again recognized and loved by the prisoners of war.
The result was obvious, when Xu Mingzhi sent people to clean up the battlefield on the highway. Xu Sandao and others, who were responsible for copying the back road of the little devil, also came to report the situation with a happy face. The four mortars brought by the devils were captured before they even had time to unload.
Although there were not many other materials captured, the weapons and ammunition carried by this little devil squadron that could be eliminated made the Snow Shame Battalion all armed. Even the logistics company, which is responsible for logistics and transportation, has been assigned a platoon of weapons and equipment!
Looking at the officers and soldiers of the Xue Shame Battalion, Hu Biao also confirmed that victory is the best magic weapon for soldiers to build up self-confidence and maintain strong fighting spirit. And what Hu Biao wants to do in the future may be to lead them to win constantly!
