There was about a platoon of soldiers of the 301st Regiment, who retreated to the west hill while fighting, and Xiucai was cautious and did not let these retreating soldiers directly enter their defensive positions.

Instead, they were asked to retreat to a small position south of the Xishantou position, separated by the main road leading to Nanjing, and the west side of the two positions was also behind Nanjing City, and the front was also to the east, which was directly in the direction of the main position of Chunhua Town.

Moreover, opposite this position was a lake called Meilong Lake (now Dongjiao Reservoir), which protected this position, especially in winter, and the enemy had to bypass it if he wanted to attack.

First, it is cold in winter, there is no need to wade across the lake, and second, there is no protection in the water, which will become a target for bullets.

Therefore, it has a bit of a protective effect on the Meilong Lake position, and then it plays the role of a horn against each other with the Xishantou position, and has a crossfire effect on the enemy attacking from the main road.

Originally, this position Xiucai wanted to divide the troops to defend, but Sangou did not agree, although the idea was very good, but considering that his troops were thin, he could not divide the troops, and it was best to use it centrally, and this time he was facing the enemy's main force.

Moreover, Sangou saw that although the position over there could be built, there was no support, and the function of anti-artillery was relatively small, so he was reluctant to pull the troops there to be shelled, and there was nowhere to hide.

Now Xiucai called the 301st Regiment to retreat, after some previous considerations, he also has this selfishness, there is no way, on the battlefield, it can't be absolutely fair, and this is the case in ordinary life.

can only do things according to the rules of first come, first served, there is another point, Xiucai did not say it clearly, Xia Chen pointed out, that is, are these soldiers comrades-in-arms?

Xiucai glanced at Xia Chen, this young man is good, the vigilance on the battlefield is very high, after all, the Chinese and the Japanese look very similar, as long as they don't speak, they can hardly be seen.

What if this group of people were Japanese, and now let them come in to the position, and he didn't serve a pot to others, and the gun didn't go off, and the position was lost, wouldn't he have died unjustly?

The normal practice of dealing with discharged soldiers is generally to require them to be at a safe distance and accept passwords, interrogations, examinations, etc., before they can pass.

There are strict troops or in important warning areas, and it is also required that after the retired troops are automatically disarmed, they can be collectively examined before they can be dealt with according to the above handling opinions.

Now in wartime, there is no time to do these complicated procedures in the face of these retired soldiers, and it is a good choice to guide them to another position, so Xiucai did it.

Whether it is friend or foe, keep your distance first, make sure you are safe, and when the Japanese army attacks, you will know immediately. But now it's better not to say it in your mouth, otherwise it will be too tasteless.

……

Sangou lined up in front of the Xishantou position, and instructed Xiucai to pay attention to concealment, not to be injured too many people by the Japanese artillery, and the hard battle was still to come.

The second and third platoons of the 7th Company were to guard the left and right flanks to prevent the enemy from making a detour, and at the same time to serve as a reserve to reinforce the main position on the frontal battlefield at any time.

In most cases, only one or two observation posts are left, and the main personnel are still in the anticline simple bunker hiding hole, because this position is not large, and the radius is only one or two square kilometers.

……

Not long after the retreat of the 301st Regiment entered the position behind Chunhua Zhenhu, the Japanese army's pursuit force came.

It's not that the enemy's pursuers are fast, but that Chunhua Town is lost so quickly, this is the third line of defense of Chunhua Town, on the periphery of the town, if the enemy pursues the troops, it means that the entire town has been lost.

Chunhua Town is almost completely lost, and the soldiers on both sides of the town have been entangled with each other, shouting and killing to the sky, and there are constantly shots of medium rifles and 38 guns.

It is certain that although the town has not been lost, the enemy has already attacked most of it.

Xiucai saw that the enemy did not have many pursuers, and it was estimated that it was only about a small team, so he did not shoot in the area of 400 meters immediately, but let the enemy in, and it was not until 200 meters that he found the team leader who was well hidden.

Xiucai put the pig's head into the crosshair of the Zhongzheng rifle, closed his breath, his whole body did not move, and he grabbed the rifle tightly, only letting the two joints in front of his right index finger bend and pull the trigger.

The 7.92mm bullet was instantly discharged, and at a speed invisible to the naked eye, it broke through the air and hit the head of the devil squad leader, and the bullet that rotated and flew at high speed passed through the thin skull, stirring the fragile brain tissue inside into a paste, and then pierced through the back of the head.

Even if the devil was wearing a steel helmet, he couldn't stop the impact of the bullet, and he even penetrated and flew out, and the squad leader was suddenly hit, and the huge impact of the bullet was like being hit on the head by someone, and he fell backwards with his head up.

The captain of the devil squad didn't say a word, and he died.

Japan has made a lot of money to train a junior officer, and it is impossible to become an officer without more than 10 years of military study and training in military primary schools, middle schools, and non-commissioned officer schools, and if he has spent several years in the army.

After more than ten years of hard study and rigorous training, just to go to this death covenant thousands of miles away, and as a shameful alien invader, how unworthy it is to die on the battlefield.

However, in the eyes of the devils, they don't think so, they have been brainwashed by militarism into war and killing machines, so that they will not think of themselves as invaders, but heroes who open up territory.

……

Many people think that the steel helmet is very powerful and can withstand all bullets, but in fact, it is wrong, the biggest role of the steel helmet is only to resist the fragments of the bomb, that is, shrapnel, and there is a long-range bullet or pistol bullet.

For bullets within three or four hundred meters, especially rifle bullets, it has almost no effect, especially the thin steel helmets of the Japanese army back then, and the Japanese who buckled to death made steel helmets as thin as paper.

So much so that in the early stage of the Chinese war, there were constantly people whose steel helmets were pierced by bullets and died, and later the army went to the base camp to thicken the steel helmet, that is, to thicken it in front of the head.

In fact, even if the steel helmet can withstand the bullet and not be penetrated, it is better not to let the bullet hit the steel helmet.

Because the impact of the rifle bullet is huge, and the steel helmet is shot head-on, even if it is not penetrated, it is estimated that his cervical spine will not be able to withstand such a large impact and traction.

There are soldiers whose neck muscles are not developed enough, and in this way, they are strained their cervical vertebrae, and some are even seriously injured, unable to continue fighting, and become non-combat attrition.

……

At first, this group of devils thought that the captain had been hit by a stray bullet, after all, the battlefield was full of gunfire, and their group was carrying out an overrun attack.

Transcending the attack means going straight over the positions contested by both sides, rushing to the rear of the enemy, and carrying out a leaping attack, causing a threat and loosening of the defenders, especially psychological loosening and the collapse of the will to fight.

The Japanese army especially likes to use these tactics, but if the Chinese army has such an advantage in weapons and combat literacy, it will be the same, you must know that in ancient times, the Chinese art of war and war books, etc., the top wisdom of human beings, the art of war, to the extreme.

Perhaps these tactics of the Japanese army were also learned from China, and of course, they must also be combined with the effectiveness of weapons in order to maximize the effect of the tactics.
