However, in the current situation where the Japanese army is only in front of them, there are only grenadiers and heavy machine guns, and this tactic that Li Ziyuan painstakingly worked out is undoubtedly a very appropriate tactical application. The light machine gun stopped firing after draining a bucket or magazine, so that the Japanese grenadiers could not find their target.

And the distance of 30 meters is also the distance for the Japanese army, which has always attacked in a tactical group, to open the attack line of the skirmishers. The infantry tactics of the Japanese army have always appeared in the situation of tactical groups, with rifles, machine guns, grenadiers and artillery behind them closely linked.

But if one of the links is broken, this infantry tactic of the Japanese army can easily be disjointed. The focus of the Japanese army's infantry tactics must be closely linked with all links. The machine gun behind you must be able to follow up at any time. In the absence of artillery fire and air support, the machine guns were once suppressed.

In addition to the setting of minefields, then the Japanese army's attack tactics that seem to penetrate can still be defeated. But this premise is still a sentence, the Japanese army participating in the war did not have heavy weapons. The most important thing is that the most fundamental starting point of Li Ziyuan's tactics is actually the Japanese army's own factors.

Although the Japanese army's offensive and defensive capabilities are relatively balanced. But in the bones, it is still the kind of army that emphasizes offense. Especially at the moment when the Japanese army is in full swing, even a squadron often dares to attack boldly in the face of a regiment of the Chinese army.

Even if they encounter an ambush, especially an ambush by the Eighth Route Army with poor equipment and insufficient ammunition, they generally organize a counterattack immediately. Li Ziyuan also grasped this tactic of the Japanese army. At present, the Japanese army is only a simple infantry, and it is more suitable for this tactical use of itself. But the most disadvantageous thing about this tactic is that it can't be played quickly and collected quickly.

The requirements for commanders to grasp the situation of the surrounding battlefields and the determination of the surrounding blocking forces are also quite high. Especially in this kind of depth where the Japanese army belongs to the semi-core area at the moment, it is easy to be stuck to the Japanese puppet army by adopting this tactic. But after Li Ziyuan comprehensively judged the situation, he still decided to use it boldly.

The Japanese army had grenadiers, and they had them themselves. The Japanese grenadiers were designed to hit their own machine guns, and their own grenadiers could also hit the Japanese machine guns. As long as the Japanese machine guns are suppressed and the position is pressed by themselves, there is still no big problem in this battle. Li Ziyuan is still very confident in the troops he came out single-handedly.

That's why he didn't use militia on the main battlefield he was responsible for. He was worried about the militia, even though they had completed their basic military training. But after all, it has not yet been tested in actual combat, and in the face of the Japanese army within a distance of 30 meters, it is easy to mess up by itself.

So in this ambush battle, he used only two companies of old troops. It is to take into account the psychological endurance of the troops, whether they can withstand the impact of the Japanese army within 30 meters. This is often the most critical factor. And his two main companies have been specially trained repeatedly.

And judging from the progress of the battle, Li Ziyuan obviously won this sentence. Of course, it also brought certain consequences, but Li Ziyuan finally won at least one local battle with a small number of casualties. Although this partial victory put him in the most dangerous situation for a while.

At a distance of thirty meters, the Japanese light machine guns under the mountain were desperately firing and suppressing. But Li Ziyuan's grenadier, because Li Ziyuan attaches too much importance to it, and even the degree of attention is still above that of the machine gunner. Under the ** of He Huizhang, a veteran, although it is not as good as He Huizhang, the actual level is not too different. this

There is absolutely no problem with a light machine gun that hits the Japanese army at a distance. The two cross-fired grenades went down, and although they did not directly hit the devil's machine gun, they also hit the machine gun fire. Then a grenade that hit accurately made a crooked handle. Together with two shooters reduced to parts.

Accurate grenadiers were fired from the mountain, so that the Japanese light machine gunners below the mountain had to shift their positions frequently. However, the platoon guns on the hill made it quite risky for the Japanese machine gunners to transfer their positions. Several machine gunners took their crooked handles, and as soon as they left the position where the grenadiers were aimed, they were nailed to the ground by bullets.

The machine gunners, who were behind the Japanese counterattack, were interrupted by grenadiers. The Japanese troops who were charging in front had already entered the minefield thirty meters in front of the ambush position. Seeing the Japanese army stepping into his minefield, he waved his hand fiercely with Li Ziyuan. The puller did not hesitate at all, and pulled the fuse of the mine in his hand.

Although the earth-made mines he planted thirty meters in front of the position were relatively less powerful, fortunately, the number was quite sufficient. In addition, Li Ziyuan also tied grenades to some earthen mines to increase the power. With the help of a rain of grenades, this improved minefield is still quite powerful.

After a violent explosion, a small squad of the Japanese counterattack, consisting of several tactical attack groups, remained almost entirely in front of his position. Within thirty meters of the minefield, there were Japanese corpses and ** voices everywhere. Hit by a mine strapped to a grenade, it was better to be killed directly. The Japanese soldiers who had been blown up by the earth-made mines in the base area and could not die for a while were lying on the ground with their broken feet or legs in their arms and howling incessantly.

At the moment when the mine exploded, the machine gun on Li Ziyuan's ambush position began to fire again. At the same time, the concentrated firepower of the He Huizhang fire platoon hit the second echelon of the Japanese army, and also brought a serious threat to the follow-up forces of the Japanese army. It directly cut off the connection between the first and second echelons of the Japanese army, and disconnected the Japanese army's counter-charge.

The fearless Japanese army counterattacked in two rounds, but not only failed to defeat the people who ambushed them, but they themselves suffered more than half of the casualties under the superior firepower of the opponent. The Japanese army, which suffered heavy casualties after two rounds of counterattacks, was unable to launch any counterattack. After the breakout operation was also broken by fire, he could only be suppressed on the road and passively beaten.

One of the three light machine guns was blown up, and two were directly suppressed by condescending machine guns and grenadiers. As for the Type 92 heavy machine gun carried by this Japanese army, under the full force of Guo Laosan's father and daughter, the machine gunners went up and died one by one. The heavy machine gun almost became a symbol of death, and almost no one dared to take over the Japanese soldiers.

Although the grenadiers of the Japanese army kept trying to find out the father and daughter of Guo Laosan. But basically two people who changed places with one shot made the grenadiers of the Japanese army basically in vain. Guo Laosan, who was also targeted by the cold man, and several of his apprentices were killed and injured.

After repelling two counter-charges of the Japanese army in a row, Li Ziyuan always firmly controlled the initiative in this local battlefield in his own hands. The Japanese army, who failed to charge twice in a row at the foot of the mountain, was suppressed by Li Ziyuan's firepower from the mountain and could not move on the road below the mountain.

However, repelling two consecutive Japanese charges did not mean a change in the overall situation of the battle. Compared with the local battlefield where Li Ziyuan firmly grasped the initiative, the situation around the battlefield is changing rapidly at this moment. Although Li Ziyuan is already mentally prepared for this change.

But the rapid change of the battle situation was still a bit beyond his expectations. Just when Li Ziyuan had just repelled the second counter-charge of the Japanese army and was adjusting his tactics. In the direction of Hechuan around him, the line from Pingchuan to Qiaokou in the southeast, and the direction of Luoma in the west, dense gunfire also sounded at the moment.

The sound of these guns and cannons from the surrounding area clearly told Li Ziyuan that there was not much time left for him to finally solve the problem. The Japanese puppet armies in Hechuan and Pingchuan have already been dispatched to begin reinforcements and are exchanging fire with their own blocking forces. Although the troops in charge of blocking the reinforcements have not yet reported in the future, Li Ziyuan has already noticed an abnormality from the movements on the surrounding battlefields.

At present, in the direction of Pingchuan and Qiaokou, the sound of gunfire is somewhat unusual. At least not according to the intelligence they have gathered, the Japanese army can dispatch the strength of the Japanese puppet army in these two places. In addition to the Japanese army in Pingchuan, which had an infantry artillery squad, only the puppet Jin Southern Founding Army had two mortars among the Japanese puppet armies in the entire Hubei territory.

But at the moment, the sound of dense gunfire coming from the surrounding area, Li Ziyuan could hear it, and the sound of artillery came from the direction of Luoma and Pingchuan. Among them, from the direction of Pingchuan, not only the sound of infantry artillery was heard, but also the sound of mountain artillery. And the mountain artillery that fired was at least three or more. The sound of light and heavy machine gun fire in both directions was even more dense and inaudible.

There are not only the puppet Jinnan Jianguo Army and the garrison, but also the movement of Jin-made light and heavy machine guns and state-made light and heavy machine guns. The Type 92 heavy machine gun, known as the Woodpecker, has a slow and distinctive sound of gunfire. Although there was a certain distance, Li Ziyuan still heard this, the number of machine guns that the puppet army had never used far exceeded the number that the two strongholds should have.

Listening to the dense gunfire around him, and then looking at the remnants of the Japanese army in front of him who were still resisting stubbornly, Li Ziyuan, who knew that he had little time left, gritted his teeth. He gave the order to blow the trumpet and attack on all fronts to the trumpeters beside him. He Huizhang's two heavy machine guns also ignored the consumption of ammunition and desperately opened fire to suppress the Japanese firepower.

Although he hates white-knuckle battles, Li Ziyuan, who is in a hurry to solve the problem completely at the moment, so as to draw his troops to deal with the situation, can't care about anything else. And the amount of ammunition consumed by the Japanese army was also a bit unbearable for him. If you continue to fight like this, your shabby ammunition reserves are about to bottom out.

The rapid changes in the surrounding situation made Li Ziyuan only take the fastest solution. Fight quickly, turn the muzzle of the gun in other directions depending on the situation. Otherwise, judging from the surrounding gunfire, the pressure on the troops blocking the reinforcements is too great. Even if there is one direction that cannot stop the enemy with reinforcements, the current results will be ruined.

Li Ziyuan, who rushed down the mountain with two companies, kept firing the fast and slow machine in his hand, together with the soldiers around him who were constantly throwing grenades and shooting at the same time as charging and shooting this kind of wasting ammunition. In strict accordance with the tactical requirements formulated by Li Ziyuan in training, he tried to kill and wound the Japanese soldiers as much as possible before engaging the enemy.

After making contact with the Japanese army, Li Ziyuan quickly replaced the fast and slow machine in his hand with a new magazine. With a magazine in his mouth, he raised his hand and swept several Japanese soldiers who were leaning back to back together and posing in a white-knuckle combat posture. Insert the fast and slow machine back into your waist and pick up a Type 38 rifle.

A bayonet stabbed directly into the chest of a Japanese soldier who rushed towards him, and smashed the butt of the rifle into the face of a Japanese soldier, after smashing his nose into the skull. Turning to look at the troops who were entangled with the Japanese army, Li Ziyuan shouted directly: "Don't fucking rush, how did Lao Tzu train you before." Strictly according to tactics, what about the pistols that are issued to you? ”
