Chapter 116: Fighting for the Position (Year of the Dog)

In the combat headquarters, the old god Yue Siliang was sitting on a chair as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating, one hand was crossing the round head of the chair's armrest back and forth, and the other hand was playing with a pencil back and forth.

In front of Yue Siliang, on your desk is a detailed map of Jingcheng Lunan, which has been drawn with a pencil at this moment, and the entire Lunan is drawn like a huge chess apron.

"Commander, the third battalion and the devil have been fighting for hours. It's going to be too hard, or we'll ......."

The silent atmosphere in the headquarters made people a little breathless, and in the end, Liu Chuan was the first to sit still and asked Yue Siliang to fight.

"Sit down, it's not time yet."

However, for Liu Chuan's invitation to fight, Yue Siliang simply rejected him.

"This ......"

Yue Siliang's words made Liu Chuan stunned at that time, looking at the other party a little helplessly.

"Liu Chuan, you better sit down first, what to do or wait for the next step of the information to be clarified."

In the end, it was Huang Kebei who softly reminded him that in the staff of the 424th Regiment now, Huang Kebei can be said to be a well-deserved chief of staff, but in the title of position, he still only has the title of a staff officer.

Seeing that his old superiors also said the same, Liu Chuan did not sit back in his seat in the end, but pushed the door and walked out of the command headquarters to check his team.

The door slammed shut, Yue Siliang glanced in the direction of the door, and sighed secretly.

"Liu Chuan still owes the heat...... Li Jie, now it's up to you to see which step you can take. ”

……

Time goes back to more than two hours ago.

The quite mature tactics displayed by the 3rd Battalion can be said to have taken the Japanese army by surprise.

On average, there were only twenty-seven men in each battle group, and these twenty-seven men were divided into three battle groups, and each group of nine was divided into three groups. And each battle group is guaranteed to be equipped with one light machine gun, twenty rifles, and six assault Mauser pistols. In the 1st and 2nd battle groups, there was even an extra grenadier each.

With such firepower, a battle group can ensure good internal coordination, coupled with the unique communication methods of the three battalions, and the long-term collective training of the battle group as a unit. In the process of charging and assault, even if this battle group pulls out the front line for a full 500 meters, it can ensure good tactical coordination between fighters.

Twenty-seven fighters, the front is more than five hundred meters, it can be said that there will be a distance of nearly twenty meters between the two fighters. Under such circumstances, even if the Japanese army used machine guns and artillery to block the attack, they could only target one soldier at a time, and it was difficult to achieve group damage.

On the contrary, the longest position of the Japanese army was only 300 meters. In this way, the shooting concept on the offensive and defensive sides was completely different, the Japanese army was to disperse the shooting, while the Eighth Route Army was to shoot in one direction. From the point of view of probability, the bullets fired by the charging Eighth Route Army are more likely to form a barrage, and the probability of causing damage to soldiers is higher!

With the continuous input of the four battle groups, the more than 100 Eighth Route Army troops were distributed on the positions like chess pieces scattered all over the chessboard, far apart from each other, but these soldiers were able to contact each other.

Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum. The Japanese army laid a big net in the entire Jizhong, and the three battalions could also be said to have formed a big net for the Japanese army in this position.

Although it is not as rich as the Japanese army and can weave such a large net, the net compiled by Li Jie at this moment is undoubtedly more tenacious. If the Japanese army wants to harm every soldier in this net, it will have to pay a higher cost than in the previous battles. And because it is a tactic of team cooperation, each fighter is directly responsible for his own team. Even if all the fighters of one squad are killed, the other squad will immediately take their place.

When carrying out squad tactics, as long as the casualties of the fighters do not exceed half, then the offensive will not stop at all! This is simply a team that can't be dragged and won't be broken!

"Squadron leader, the Eighth Route Army is only fifty meters away from the closest part of our position!"

"If you don't say it, I know!"

As the battle progressed, Kawakami, who was originally full of confidence, also became extremely irritable, he didn't expect that the seemingly weird and thin tactics of the Eighth Route Army would have such great power, and after the battle began, it had advanced a few hundred meters without any stagnation! He had never seen anything like this in his military career!

"Calm down! Be sure to calm down! ”

Kawakami secretly admonished himself in his heart, and at the same time slammed his fingernails into his palms, the pain making his brain more clear.

"As the position advances, the front of the Eighth Route Army will definitely shrink, so that the density of their front will increase! Abandon the enemy a hundred meters away. Concentrate all the firepower at about eighty meters! Resolutely wipe out the enemy from our positions! ”

Although he is still only a squadron leader, Kawakami is not a general. After getting through the initial period of panic, Kawakami finally found the most important point. No matter when the initial charge is made, the front line will definitely shrink after the distance is pulled, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the Japanese army. They can effectively play their equipment advantages.

"Boom !!"

Abandoning a position a hundred meters away, the mortar may have lost its place of bravery, but the grenadier finally played its role. In the early stages of design, the grenadier was designed to fill the gap between the grenade and the mortar. Despite the fact that the range of fire is about 100 meters, the grenadier is not weak at all, and it is much lighter and more agile than mortars.

The grenadiers threw grenades into the position, and the devil's light and heavy machine guns began to fire accurately. After Yu approached the Japanese position, the casualties of the soldiers of the third battalion also began to increase.

"Battalion commander! The fighters advanced to a position fifty meters from the devil's position and stopped! The devil's firepower is too fierce, and he can't move forward! ”

Yao Gang said eagerly, fifty meters outside the position, the devil's firepower almost covered the entire line, and the devil's marksmanship was very accurate, and it was too simple to aim at an adult at a distance of one hundred meters.

"I don't care! The position of several hundred meters has passed, don't tell me that you can't pass these fifty meters! Even if it's a knife mountain, I have to wade through those fifty meters! Press two more battle groups! ”

Regarding Yao Gang's report, Li Jie chose to call back directly.

……

"Da Da Da ......"

A bullet from the Type 92 heavy machine gun hit a squad leader of the 3rd Battalion.

"Squad Leader!!"

A few meters to the left of the squad leader, a soldier shouted loudly with bloodshot eyes when he saw the squad leader's sacrifice. He shot several times in a row, threw the empty gun in his hand to the ground, and rolled on the ground on his side for several weeks, and took the light machine gun of the squad leader in his hand, and shot a volley of bullets on his knees.

……

Li Jie is like an iron-hearted gambler at the moment, sitting at the gambling table, betting with high morale. The soldiers of the third battalion also firmly carried out the order according to Li Jie's will. The Japanese army was also fighting to the death without retreating, the trigger of the 38 cover was constantly pulled, and the grenadier barrel did not stop for almost a moment.

At this point in the battle, it has completely turned into a competition of perseverance between the three battalions and the Kawakami squadron. On this section of the position, which is only fifty meters, the third battalion will pay the price of a soldier almost every time it pushes forward! By the time the fighters advanced in front of the Japanese positions, the casualties had already reached a staggering quarter!

……

After attacking the Japanese position, the third battalion did not hesitate to start a white-knuckle battle with the devils, and for a time the flesh and blood flew in the temporary fortifications built by the Japanese army!

"Squadron leader, the Eighth Route Army has entered the infantry position, and the two sides have exchanged fire! ……”

"Smack!"

For his subordinates who were in turmoil, Akiyama chose to kill without hesitation.

"We are artillerymen, and all we care about is whether the shells can accurately land on the target! Fire!!! ”

Akiyama said coldly, all the artillery had been arranged at this moment, and it was impossible for him to allow his soldiers to riot at this time, so he killed his communication soldier without thinking too much.

"Boom !!"

The first to fire were six field guns, and more than six kilograms of shells were thrown in the direction of the town without hesitation.

"Boom ......"

With the bombardment of artillery shells, sections of city walls and houses were all turned into earth and rock. A single shell from the field artillery will not be able to leave a single live hole within a radius of more than ten or twenty meters around.

"The shelling has begun!"

Although Li Jie had already learned the quality of the Japanese army, he did not expect that the Japanese artillery would be able to carry out artillery bombardment without hesitation when the infantry position was no longer safe! Li Jie sighed, now it seems that this battle must not be good today.

"Yao Gang! Tell the special forces to prepare! We are running out of time......"
