1169. Small fights in the battle of the large corps

The Japanese infantry artillery coordinated very well this time, and the commander of the infantry commanded the group of men and horses, gradually approaching the front of the Jingshan position, and from time to time sent signals to guide the infantry artillery behind to attack the Chinese army's firepower point.

At the same time, mortars and heavy machine guns were no longer hiding, but were taken out early in the morning to cooperate with the infantry attack, constantly pouring ammunition on the forward positions of Jingshan.

Many soldiers of the third battalion and the seventh company are veterans of a hundred battles, and they have seen any major battles, but this time it seems that the Japanese army has really made a lot of money, and they will do it as soon as they come up, and they will do it really, and they will not engage in any false things such as fire detectives.

However, the 7th Company was unmoved, and most of the soldiers stayed silently in the bunkers and trenches, as if there was no one on the position, and the more this happened, the more uncertain the Japanese infantry became.

Such an important position, the Chinese army will not be blown up by a few rounds of artillery, but the Japanese 34th Division has fought all the way, and when it fought with the 58th Division, it was known that the 74th Army was extremely strong.

But no matter what the opponent is, since they have fought here, they have to fight, and Shanggao is just around the corner, which makes the Japanese army feel that no matter how hard and tired they are, they must persevere, and victory is in sight immediately.

Hashimoto-kun, the leader of the 3rd Squadron of the 216th Wing of the Japanese Army, thought so, and all the torture along the way.

His third squadron originally had more than 200 people, but now there are only more than 150 people left, and there are several replenishments in between.

At this time, the Jingshan position had already been fought in many places, and it was even more fierce on the side of the Xiapi Bridge, and his squadron was responsible for attacking the Jingshan Pass position in the front, which was also the closest road to Shanggao.

But needless to say, this road is definitely the most difficult to walk, and the Chinese army will not let them pass so easily, and it is estimated that it is even more difficult to get through than the previous Sixi.

At this time, Lieutenant Hashimoto, dressed in a soldier's attire and also holding a 38 rifle, crawled behind the entire stragglers, giving commands to the front from time to time.

Sangou held a telescope here, quickly estimating how many people there were in the Japanese straggler line, how many lines, and on the wide surface of this position, there were nearly fifty Japanese soldiers.

Each person was separated by a distance of four or five meters, and at a width of two hundred meters, three columns were formed, separated by more than ten meters, so that it was almost a squadron of combat soldiers, about one hundred and fifty people.

A squadron of Japanese troops, to fight such an important position, is the Japanese army here to be funny? Sangou couldn't help but show an imperceptible scorn at the corner of his mouth.

To deal with the attack of the Japanese army in such a squadron, one of the seven companies of the three battalions was enough, and the seven companies were originally the most powerful troops of the three battalions, which could attack and defend well.

Now the Seventh Company, under the leadership of Wu Dingli, has continued the strength of the three dogs in the Seventh Company, and the quality of the soldiers has increased year by year, and the weapons are needless to say, much better than when they were in Songhu and Nanjing, and this strength has increased unabated.

Now the first line of the Japanese army's skirmisher line has passed 300 meters, and there is no movement of the Seventh Company.

Sangou muttered to himself, and Xiucai, the deputy battalion commander next to him, was nervously answering the phone, and he happened to be talking to the commander of the Seventh Company, Wu.

When the stragglers of the Japanese army entered an area of about 250 meters, they could distinguish the color of the Japanese army's uniforms and collar badges.

This attack was not the shooting of the soldiers of the whole company, but mainly the orders of the grenadier group and the shooting group of each squad, and the nine squads and nine grenadiers of the whole company fired nine grenades in an instant.

The power of the grenade is about the same as that of a grenade, similar to nine grenades smashed on the first line of the Japanese stragglers, and the radius of each grenade is about five or six meters, and the diameter is ten meters away.

The distance between each straggler of the Japanese army was four or five meters, and these nine grenades went down, forming a striking surface that was almost 100 meters long and about 10 meters wide.

Of course, most of the Japanese troops were prostrate on the ground, and it was impossible for these grenades to hit them all, but there would still be some prefabricated fragments.

At the same time as the grenade exploded, the excellent marksman team of the nine infantry squads of the seventh company began to attack closely behind, and they had already locked on to the target.

The Japanese stragglers were not willing to be beaten so passively, and their grenadier group quickly reached the front line and began to fight each other with the grenadier soldiers of the 7th Company.

Wu Dingli's choice of grenadiers and shooting teams for the first round of counterattack is still very clear, these two types of troops belong to the most flexible, and the Japanese mortars and heavy machine guns are the most difficult to capture, let alone infantry artillery.

It is impossible for two infantry guns of a brigade to cover a position of several square kilometers, and it can only be used to pull out a few fixed machine-gun fire points at fixed points.

It can face mobile grenadiers and rifles, and even the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army are difficult to figure out, and the grenadier is a curved weapon, which can be fired from hiding in a trench.

In the past, the firing distance of the grenadier was about 100 meters, but now it is constantly improved, and it can be fired to about 250 meters, which just makes up for the distance vacuum between the rifle and the grenade.

Rifle bullets can hit an area of 400 meters, although they can strike accurately and have penetrating lethality, but the disadvantage is that they cannot form a point-to-area divergent strike, and can only hit point by point, and the firepower is relatively weak.

Mortars throw grenades and grenades, which belong to small bombs, and they are one side when they explode, and the killing surface is much larger than rifle bullets, but mortars are more expensive, and each company is only equipped with one, and the machine gun company is only eight.

Mortars are also especially because of the attention of the Japanese infantry artillery mortars, once dispatched, they will chase and fight, and they will always fight the technical accuracy of both sides and the amount of shells stored.

Besides, no matter how flexible and mobile the mortar is, it still weighs dozens of pounds, and it is still not as expensive as grenadiers and rifles to move, and mortars are expensive.

Therefore, Wu Dingli is right not to use mortars easily, or first use the grenadiers that every infantry has, the grenadiers weigh four or five kilograms, and the individual soldiers run around with them, and the operation is also simple, but it is a little difficult for the ammunition soldiers to carry the grenades.

However, the cat was relatively much safer in a one-person deep trench, so the Seventh Company took the risk of letting the devil enter the 250-meter area to fight, mainly considering the advantages and disadvantages of his own weapon.

But a grenade that relied entirely on nine grenadiers was not enough to cover the entire combat surface, and this was compensated for by a firing team composed of excellent shooters.

Therefore, in the interval between the grenade explosions, the shooting team saw the attack of the needle, so that the devil could not be guarded, and he did not take care of the other end if he could take care of this end, and he had to guard against artillery and dodge tricky and accurate bullets.

This made the Japanese army's straggler line miserable, and the Chinese army did not open and close widely, and only made small fights, which could make them scramble and not care about continuing to advance.

As the attacking side of the Japanese army, stagnation, it is equivalent to failure, for the Seventh Company, this kind of large corps combat, it is impossible to rely on one of their infantry companies to kill the enemy, so the Seventh Company is now not mainly to kill, but to block.
