727. Ambush warfare in positional warfare
In the past, the grenadier was at a range of about 150 meters, but now the devil seems to be able to launch it from a distance of 200 meters, and the accuracy is higher.
With normal eyesight, one hundred and fifty meters can see the other soldier's water bottle, bayonet sheath and other small objects, and now look at the devil who is firing the grenadier, these small objects look very blurry.
It can be explained that the devil is estimated to have invented a new or improved grenadier from the previous one, which is an important signal, Sangou thought, when the time comes, see if one or two can be captured and handed over to the bamboo pole for them to study.
But now it's not a matter of capture, it's a question of whether they can keep it, and the devil is gradually approaching the position of the Seventh Company by relying on the advantage of firepower.
It seems that if you continue to fight, you will probably have to start throwing grenades on bayonets, pounce on them and start fighting.
However, at this time, another communications soldier came over and saved the life of the Seventh Company, this time it was a paper military order, an order written by Commander Zhang.
The three companies of the third battalion were ordered to feign defeat and retreat, the seventh company retreated first, and the eighth company and the ninth company gradually retreated to the second line of positions to attract devils in.
The signal corps is from the headquarters of the third battalion, and it seems that Battalion Commander Liu saw it, so he directly asked the signal corps to notify the three company commanders with the order.
It seems that the regimental headquarters in the back has also seen the tight situation in front, and they also want to do another trick of ambushing the devil cavalry just now, attracting the enemy to come in, and then attack on three sides.
Sangou immediately asked the company's communications corps to give the order to the three platoon commanders and began to retreat, first the last three platoons, then the first platoon, and finally the second platoon.
Everyone retreated along the trench to the second line of defense, giving way to a large open space, but when the second platoon finally withdrew, the dogleg still made some tricks in the trench of the position.
Seeing that the gunfire on the position of the Seventh Company was gradually thinning out, and the number seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, the devil began to think that it was caused by their firepower, and when the infantry charged over, he found that there was no one in the position, not even a single wounded soldier.
Needless to say, this is an active withdrawal, if it is a passive escape, generally the seriously injured will stay, at least some weapons and ammunition that cannot be moved.
Left a little grenade, but the devil couldn't see it, buried in the soil, and was made into a trick by the dog's legs, and when the devil entered the trench to search for the Chinese soldiers, he was blown over a few.
This kind of killing and wounding is dispensable in the battle of a large army, and it does not play a decisive role, but for the devils, especially the search troops in front, they have become frightened birds.
The devils became more cautious as they went to the second line of defense, because here they saw a large number of dead and wounded horses, as well as the corpses of their cavalry troops.
The originally cautious devil saw the miserable appearance of his comrades, but he launched a ruthless attack, anxious to find revenge on the Chinese army, and began to rush forward.
The Japanese advance began to rush in desperately, and gradually pulled away from the protection of the flanks on both sides, and the troops in front were less than 400 meters away from the troops of the 7th Company and the 2nd Battalion of the Three Dogs.
But Regiment Commander Zhang still did not give the order to attack, he was still waiting, waiting for the Japanese army to come in more, and if one more Japanese soldier came in, it would be possible to destroy one more enemy.
In fact, as a Japanese army, it is not difficult to imagine that a unit that can annihilate a cavalry squadron must be more than a few companies can do.
If it is still so abrupt, it is a very deadly danger to pull away from the troops behind and on both flanks, and it is not yet completely confirmed that the Chinese army has fully retreated, or it is intentional.
But as the vanguard of the Japanese army, they were carried away by hatred at this time, and their more thoughts were to catch a Chinese army before all the Chinese troops retreated, and do it fiercely to relieve the hatred in their hearts.
The 305 regiment can't ask for it, come on, Come on baby!
Almost half of the squadron's devils plunged headlong into the cloth bag made by the 305th regiment, and after a signal flare was fired into the sky, the seventh company, together with the second battalion, fired all weapons, whether it was automatic machine guns, single-shot rifles, or even mortars.
The ammunition was poured on the heads of the Japanese advance pursuit troops, and the blazing firepower almost melted the positions in front, and even the ground was scorched, not to mention the devils in the flesh.
The devils who rushed to the forefront were almost beaten into thousands of holes, and their bodies were reduced to rags, and the meat residue was lying on the ground, and some were torn to pieces by machine gun shells and mortar shells.
Half of the squadron's devils, almost instantly, stepped into the footsteps of the cavalry squadron and returned to their Amaterasu to report for duty.
And the troops protecting the flanks on both sides of the devil now want to come to the rescue, but they are also pinned down by the Chinese troops on both sides, and the Japanese army suffered this big loss, and no longer dares to break in, so they temporarily retreat.
In the positional battle, an ambush battle was actually fought, and this victory could be called a tactical success, of course, it was also because of the arrogance of the Japanese army that they would rush forward, so that the 305th regiment had the opportunity to ambush.
The 305th Regiment did not have the idea of ambushing the Japanese army at the beginning, and it was the Japanese army that completed the 305th Regiment and contributed to the success of this tactic step by step.
This battle, fought from morning to noon, Sangou looked at his watch, only to find that time passed so quickly, it felt like it had just passed in the morning.
On the battlefield, sometimes time flies very slowly, a second seems to be as long as 10,000 years, and sometimes time flies quickly, fighting all day, and I think it is a trance for a moment.
Seeing the time, the body was reminded from the consciousness, and there was a reaction, the first reaction was tired, followed by hunger, this high-intensity nervous and highly tense work, so that the body consumed a lot of energy.
Fortunately, the logistics work of the Corps Headquarters this time has been very good, and it is also close to the water, occupying the Longhai line of Xuzhou's major breakthrough, and it can intercept a train wagon at any time to replenish the troops' ammunition and grain and grass on the spot.
The cooking class is a big white steamed bun again, plus a large pot of green vegetable soup, the funds of the seventh company due to the open accounts, put an end to corruption, the expenses have been relatively sufficient, the cooking class has brought some salted meat, bacon, preserved eggs, salted eggs and other meat dishes that are not easy to spoil.
These meat dishes can be eaten as long as they are heated, which is very convenient, although Sangou himself does not have too many requirements for eating, but he has learned a little nutrition in the military academy before.
This soldier still has to keep up with nutrition, otherwise, not only will he not be able to keep up with his physical strength, but he will also easily suffer from night blindness, that is, he will not be able to see clearly at night or in a dim environment.
This is very uncomfortable for soldiers who often have to march at night, if they catch up with the night attack operation mission, how to carry it out?
Malnutrition can also lead to a lack of calcium in the body, cramps in the hands and feet are common, and it is more dangerous to break bones.
Just like this lunch, in addition to steamed buns and vegetable soup, each of the seven companies' cooking class has a large piece of bacon and a boiled egg.
This time the eggs were fresh, they were brought from the rear, they could be boiled in water, and they were brought to the front line, they were not easy to break, and the distribution was simple.
Sangou tore open the steamed buns, sandwiched a piece of fatty and salty salted meat in the middle, held the soup bowl in one hand, and nibbled on the sandwich steamed buns in the other, while listening to the trivial situation of the three platoon commanders on personnel damage and ammunition replenishment.
