705. The Broadsword Red Spike Guides the Way
The Japanese army's fortress and firepower point in Maogu Village were almost wiped out under the continuous return rifle blows of the 51st Division's mountain artillery.
There are also some mobile ones, such as light machine gun fire points, which are exhausted under the mortar fire of the 305th regiment machine gun company and cannot form continuous fire suppression.
Several mortars in the second platoon of the Seventh Company of Bamboo Poles were as accurate as scalpels, as if they could guess where the Japanese light machine guns would move next.
This is simply a god, but this kind of play is not a hundred shots, occasionally hit once or twice, but this occasional few times, it is enough for the devil to choke.
You must know that on the Chinese battlefield in World War II, it took an average of nearly 2,000 rounds of bullets to hit an enemy, and although the probability of mortar shells was high, it was impossible to hit 100 shots.
So now, it is better to use the heavy machine gun of the 305th regiment machine gun company, with the support and cover of artillery fire, the heavy machine gun immediately became the king of the position.
The firing range and muzzle velocity and coherence of the second and fourth of the people are all superior on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, and in front of the front position of the entire Maogu Village, there is a firepower network composed of more than a dozen heavy machine guns, which is really amazing.
The dense machine-gun shells crossed the sky above the creeping advance of the Chinese soldiers at the front of the Japanese position, and beat the forward position of the Japanese army into dust, and the devils did not dare to show their heads at all, let alone shoot, and the firepower was immediately completely suppressed.
Once the enemy's fire is suppressed, the front of the position becomes a temporary safe zone.
Sangou no longer crawled forward slowly, but jumped up, with a rapid leap of seven companies, a distance of several hundred meters, a few minutes passed.
Although there are still sporadic cold guns and bullets flying around, how can it be absolutely safe to fight, and now it is very good, everyone followed the three dogs and rushed forward.
The bullet of the 38 rifle pierced the air in his ear and made a sharp screeching sound, which could not stop the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War from moving forward one after another.
The Seventh Company rarely used the Red Banner as a guide for the direction of the troops, and in the civil war, this flag was still quite useful.
On a battlefield where the surrounding noise of guns and cannons is loud, the commander's orders cannot be heard, and the smoke is filled with smoke and the eyes cannot see the human figure clearly, the red and bright military flag can indeed play a good role in guiding the direction.
But in the Chinese army, the standard-bearer was on the Songhu battlefield, and the result was miserable.
The Japanese firepower was so dense that almost all the standard-bearers were killed before they could take a few steps, and even the flagpole would be broken.
There was no way, the other soldiers also picked up the military flag that fell to the ground and continued to move forward, but the result can be imagined, they were killed by random bullets.
Sometimes, when a military flag reaches a given position, it is necessary to die a lot of flag bearers, and this kind of sacrifice is really too meaningless.
On the other hand, the Japanese army also has a military flag, but in many cases it is a symbol of honor, and it is rarely used for direction guidance.
The direction of the Japanese army is guided by signal flares more in the distance, and the command of the soldiers' group is generally relied on in the near area, and it is usually a squad of soldiers or group leaders to follow the combat orders and tasks to direct the direction and route of the group.
This team leader who has to be commanded has a certain ability to distinguish the terrain of the map, as well as the ability to distinguish the direction, and more battlefield reading ability.
The ability of individual soldiers to understand combat missions and the intensity of their implementation are also a kind of individual soldier quality, so under the premise that the Japanese army's individual soldier literacy is generally high, it is not a big problem to do so.
But on the side of the Chinese army, not to mention the quality of individual soldiers, even the officers at the bottom are mostly unqualified, and many of them are temporarily promoted from soldiers on the battlefield.
Because it has been said before that the death rate of low-level officers in the Chinese army is too high, some people have made rough statistics, during the Anti-Japanese War, 200,000 graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy became grass-roots officers, and 190,000 died on the battlefield.
This battle loss rate has reached an astonishing 95%, and only two or three students can survive a normal class of 50 students.
Therefore, there is a serious shortage of basic officers in the Chinese army, and soldiers have to be temporarily promoted as officers in the line of fire, which shows that the military quality of the Chinese army will be at that level.
Therefore, ordinary troops cannot organize group cooperation at all, and not only do they not have qualified team leaders to command, but most of the team members are also confused about some simple and ordinary instructions.
In the face of these embarrassing situations, although the Chinese army learned the direction and operational instructions of the Japanese army's signal flares, it also had a variety of methods for guiding the direction in the near distance.
Many units continued to use the military flag, and the standard-bearer followed the junior officers and led the way. There are also trumpeters who follow the junior officers, and when they arrive at a certain place, they blow the trumpet.
These practices are all to put the officer to death, constantly exposing the location of the officer, Sangou doesn't want to be so unlucky, and the devil knows that he is a company commander and an officer.
In addition to the fact that there is no difference between the clothes and ordinary soldiers, the three dogs even cut others in their combat movements, and from a distance, it is almost impossible to see who is an officer and who is a soldier.
But what about the direction of the near distance? Quite simply, in the Seventh Company and even in the 305 Regiment, behind each fighter, there was a small red flag.
It is not a special red flag, but a big knife red tassel, the red cloth of this big knife, as long as it is fluttering during the charge, or during the march, it is easy for the people behind to find it, and it plays a good role in guiding the direction.
Although this red cloth will increase your target and make it visible to the devil's gunners, when charging, unless you wear an invisibility cloak, no matter what you wear, you will be discovered by the enemy.
The key is whether you do a good job of every leap tactical move, snake walking, rolling, cooperating with each other, determining the next concealment, etc., that is the most important thing.
On the battlefield now, the big sword and red cloth behind the three dogs are flying in the wind, summoning more than 100 men from the Seventh Company who look at death as if they were at home, and move forward bravely.
As long as you rush through this most dangerous 400-meter area in this relatively safe time, you can escape this catastrophe by turning over and rolling into a deep trench.
But it's easy to say, it's not so easy to do, with dozens of pounds of equipment on your back, you have to run at full speed, and you have to do some evasive tactical actions, all the way down, everyone is tired like a dog.
But no matter how tired you are, it is better than being shot and injured and dying, and it is better to die than to live.
It's good to be alive!
After Sangou finally took the lead in rushing through this dangerous area, he plunged into the deep trench and found that the bamboo sticks and barbed wire fences under the deep trench were covered by the floating soil blown up by the shells.
Before the final blasting team came down, Sangou began to organize personnel to dig blasting holes in the high trench wall, and when the blasting team came down with the explosives bag, they immediately stuffed the explosives bag into the small hole dug in.
