504. Fire Breaker Tactics
When he saw the death squad rushing up and fighting with the devils, Commander Zhang once again showed the quality of an experienced commander and immediately ordered:
"The light machine guns of each battalion fire rapidly at the boats on the river, and after hitting a magazine, they immediately switch positions."
This trick is called cutting off the fire road, when there is a big fire, in the direction of the fire, tear down a row of houses, if it is on the mountain, cut down a row of firewood and trees on the mountain, the fire burns here, nothing is burned, and it will be extinguished naturally.
The machine gunners of the 673rd regiment naturally knew how powerful this trick was, and the position here hit the river, and the range of the light machine guns was sufficient.
Dozens of light machine guns of the whole regiment opened fire at the same time, forming a dense network of firepower, which passed over the heads of the death squad and directly hit the devil boats on the river.
In fact, the bullets of the Czech light machine gun can also penetrate the thin iron sheet, but after penetration, the lethality is average.
Most of the devils are now wooden boats and unsheltered bamboo rafts, canvas boats, and rubber boats, which are immediately pierced when they encounter machine gun shells.
For a while, the devils on the ship all became targets of flesh and blood, and the devils who beat them cried wolf howls, and they can't advance or retreat.
Many desperate devils have to jump into the winter river, but under the rain of bullets, how can they be finished? Almost all the devils on the river were killed.
It is still very reasonable for Regiment Commander Zhang to call light machine guns to fight devils' ships this time, because first, the devil's ships are no longer working, and there is no need for mortars and heavy machine guns to fight.
Second, the light machine gun is flexible, and after firing a box, you can immediately carry the machine gun and go to another place, and then come, the mortar and artillery of the devil on the other side of the river are difficult to capture.
There is another point, the devil's cannon does not dare to fight for the time being, because there are their own people on this side of the river beach, and they are afraid of being injured by mistake, so they will not destroy the advantage that they have just worked hard to hit ashore. This is a rat trap.
While asking people to cut off the fire road, Commander Zhang added fuel to the death squad and sent a fresh force to pounce on the group of devils who were fighting on the river beach.
The devils who had just landed were immediately hit by the Chinese army's death-defying death squads, and the two sides fought inextricably, and after a period of time, their physical strength was greatly reduced.
The Chinese army, which was waiting for work, once again sent a new force, and the situation of the battle immediately changed significantly, and these devils couldn't resist it, and some devils couldn't stand it, so they fled into the river.
The death squad was not in a hurry to chase and kill, because there were many excellent shooters on the shore, and they wanted to give them a chance to perform, so these devils who were driven down and drunk were named by the shooters on the shore one by one and reported to the king of Yama.
Seeing that there were a few devils left, Commander Zhang knew that the devils were gone, so he hurriedly called the trumpeters to blow the retreat trumpet, now is not the time to celebrate and cheer, we have to be careful of the devils who are annoyed and angry, and come to bombard us with artillery.
There has been such a precedent before, the devil saw that the defeat was decided, and actually opened artillery to bombard his own people who were fighting with the Chinese soldiers, which was really inhumane and inhumane, and even killed his own people.
Not my race, incomprehensible, incomparable.
Therefore, Commander Zhang took advantage of the fact that the devils had not yet fired the cannons, and hurriedly told his own people to retreat, anyway, the remaining few devils could not turn the sky upside down.
And they are in this position, there is no way to go to the sky, there is no way to enter the ground, only waiting for the fate of being shot.
Several daredevils were red-eyed, they didn't leave, they were set up by a few comrades-in-arms, dragged back, and scolded all the way, not understanding why they were retreating.
After this battle, the 673 regiment naturally won, and it won very beautifully, and there were not many losses, because most of the people hid in bunkers and were not killed by devil artillery.
As for the death squads, they don't sacrifice much, and on the battlefield, there is a very strange law, that is, people who want to die and are not afraid of death are difficult to die, and those who are afraid of death tend to die very quickly and early.
It was the devils, who suffered heavy losses this time, at least a few hundred people were killed, and a squadron, which was more than enough, and the devils who were full of confidence were hit so hard that they had to suspend the attack and wait for rest or rearrangement before they could launch another attack.
To tell the truth, Commander Zhang himself also understood that their victory was based on the large number of people, and if the devils suddenly landed in many places, a large number of people would land in the first batch, and it would be difficult to say the final victory.
Whatever Commander Zhang was worried about, he came, the devil just rested for a short night, and came again today, and the fleet organized this time was much more than yesterday, not only doubled, but at least three or four times as much.
In the midst of the artillery fire, the data obtained by Regiment Commander Zhang's telescope was almost the same as the data reported by the observer, and his expression was very grim.
The devil actually sent thousands of troops to cross the river on such a narrow river this time, and there are follow-ups, this time the devil estimated that he would lose his money.
Now it is the devil's cannon that keeps bombarding and suppressing, looking at the dense boats, when they gradually come over on the river, like a mountain, pressing on the heart of Commander Zhang.
"Go quickly, inform all the reserves, and prepare them for me."
"Also, all the logistics personnel are also ready to fight."
Commander Zhang faced the staff officers and gave several orders in a row, and the devils had all their blood, and they even had to take out the bottom of the box, and they took it out without reservation, and then hid it and tucked it, and it was useless to keep it.
Let's fight it out; This battle is done, I live; Defeated, I die.
Tan Yizhong and Qin Guogang, two platoons who stayed in the rear bay area to guard the boats, and another platoon and a company headquarters, also received orders this time:
Advance quickly, target shore positions, ready for battle.
Braving enemy fire, advance! Advance! Go ahead!
All the reserves and logistics personnel of the 673rd Regiment braved the enemy's artillery fire and low-altitude aircraft strafing to the front line.
The devils of the dog day, the tactics not only change quickly, but also learn quickly, this tactic of cutting off the fire path has been learned and used by the devils, and they use advanced aircraft to cut off the fire road.
As soon as the thousands of ferocious devils on the bank of the river came ashore, they immediately launched their troops and charged in an all-round way, and the black crows overwhelmingly pressed the position of the 673rd Regiment.
The 673rd Regiment of the 337th Brigade of the 113th Division of the 51st Army of the Northeast Army, with thousands of people in the whole regiment, also rushed towards the surging tide without hesitation.
Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, the commander of the 337 Brigade Dou sent a telegram to the commander of the 673rd regiment Zhang:
"Until you die in battle, without my order, you are absolutely not allowed to retreat, and those who retreat will be killed!"
On the phone, Head Zhang only said one sentence to his old superiors who had followed him for half his life:
"Old company commander, I just died here, and I am still your soldier."
"Lao Zhang, don't be discouraged, I have strictly ordered the 674 regiment to come over at full speed to support you, as long as you hold on for an hour, within an hour, Lao Xu and their regiment will arrive."
