Chapter 669: Positional Warfare
Li Sijin, Hou Zhigang and Xue Laoqi each took a platoon to monitor the handling and storage of materials by the prisoners of war of the puppet army, but the main force of the Sichuan Army did not have time to help carry the materials, because they had to quickly build a defensive line on the periphery of the station to prepare for the counterattack of the devil's army, after all, it was impossible to move so many materials at the station quickly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Nanxun Highway and the Nanxun Railway are almost parallel, considering that the devils have artillery, automobiles and armored vehicles, so they will definitely attack along the highway, so the 799th Regiment focused its defense on the direction of the Nanxun Highway, not only went out five miles, but also placed a full battalion in the frontal position.
Leng Tiefeng became an adviser to the first battalion, responsible for the actual command.
The reason why Zhao Baishi sent Li Sijin, Hou Zhigang, and Xue Laoqi, the three battalion commanders, to supervise the puppet army's transportation of materials, was actually to transfer the three of them decently, because Zhao Baishi knew better than anyone the ability of his three brothers, and it was absolutely no problem to ask them to be a platoon commander to charge into battle, but it was still free to ask them to command a battalion to fight a positional battle with devils, otherwise it would not only harm themselves, but also affect the brothers of a battalion.
Although the U.S. Army was not strong in the world at that time, and it was not even worthy of lifting shoes for the German army, but the West Point Military Academy was still a bit of a standard, and it also trained a group of famous generals and achieved a good front during World War II.
What's more, Leng Tiefeng's record in the Dameishan Independent Regiment is there.
Zhao Baishi did not hesitate to hand over the command of the first battalion to Leng Tiefeng, in fact, according to Zhao Baishi's original intention, he hoped that Xu Rui would directly command the first battalion, but now Xu Rui had just woken up, and he couldn't let him command with injuries, so he could only retreat and hand over the command of the first battalion to Leng Tiefeng, who graduated from West Point Military Academy.
Leng Tiefeng is not polite, what is there to be polite, at the moment, a few of them and the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army are like grasshoppers on a rope, if Jiujiang can't hold it, more than 1,000 veterans of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army are sure to die, and a few of them may not be able to run away, especially now that Xu Rui is still seriously injured and has difficulty moving, it will be even more difficult to break through.
Therefore, the Sichuan Salvation Army is to save itself, and Leng Tiefeng can still carry this clearly.
It is true that more than 1,000 people of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army are veterans, and they all have rich combat experience, which is also true, but to say how good they are at fighting positional warfare, it is a bit exaggerated.
Therefore, Leng Tiefeng has to start from digging trenches.
"Don't dig the trenches and don't scatter the soil everywhere, but pile it up to the front of the trench and tamp it, so that as long as you dig a trench one meter deep, you can provide cover of one meter two!"
"What about craters? Be sure to dig craters at the front edge of the trenches! ”
"Don't dig a crater, wait until the little devil's grenade is thrown in, and you will know how good it is."
"The anti-artillery hole is not dug like this, dug so high and wide, the devil will blow you down with one shot."
"Who told you to fix the heavy machine gun fortifications here? The little devil's small cannon hit the thief accurately, and you built the heavy machine gun fortifications here, isn't this delivering food to the devil? Tear down and start over, build heavy machine gun fortifications, you must not covet the opening of the firing area, you must ensure your own safety, understand? ”
"How do you keep yourself safe? Got to the point. ”
"You all come here, come here, and I'll tell you a brief story about the structure of the side-firing point."
"The so-called side-fired firepower is the opposite of frontal firepower, frontal firepower strikes the enemy from the front, and side-fired firepower strikes the enemy from the side, because the side-fired fire avoids the front, although it loses a fairly wide firing range, but at the same time, it also avoids the killing and wounding of the enemy's artillery support fire."
"If we have superior artillery or superior aviation, of course, we can do without side-firing fire."
"If we had enough reinforced concrete machine gun bunkers, of course, we wouldn't need side-fire either."
"The problem is that we have neither aviation, nor artillery, nor reinforced concrete cover, so people can only rely on side-fire fire, and there is no other choice."
"Side-firing firepower, because of the sacrifice of the firing range, so it is easy to be attacked by the enemy's infantry to attack and blast, so it is necessary to protect each other's firepower, seeing that the two small hills in front of you are not, the heavy machine gun position is built on the anticline of the mountain, which can just protect each other, and can effectively avoid the threat of devil artillery."
Under Leng Tiefeng's hand-in-hand teaching, the fortifications of the first battalion were finally repaired like that.
When the main force of the Japanese army in Jiujiang led by Yoshimoto Sadachi appeared on the road, the fortifications of the first battalion of the 799th Regiment had been basically built, with a total of three trenches in front and behind, cutting the Nanxun Highway and extending to the mountains on both sides of the road.
At this moment, Leng Tiefeng and Zhao Baishi were lying in the shelter, looking out through the lookout hole.
In the vast rain, I saw a huge convoy composed of dozens of side three-wheeled motorcycles, trucks and armored vehicles, which were moving forward along the highway.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Baishi was inevitably a little nervous.
"Turtle son drops." Zhao Baishi's Adam's apple twitched and said, "The little devil is such a big battle." ”
Leng Tiefeng said lightly: "It's not a big deal, at best, it's four infantry brigades." ”
"Four infantry brigades?" Zhao Baishi became more and more nervous, "That's a half-infantry wing!" Didn't Commander Xu say before that there was only one infantry wing in the entire Jiujiang? ”
Leng Tiefeng said: "I'm afraid that even Xingzi and De'an's devils have come over." ”
Zhao Baishi said: "That's a good thing, we only have the strength of a regiment, how can we beat a wing of devils?" ”
Leng Tiefeng said: "It's all at this time, if you can fight, you have to fight, if you can't fight, you have to fight, does Commander Zhao still want to give up Jiujiang and evacuate with the troops?" ”
"That doesn't exist." Zhao Baishi shook his head again and again, "It's not like this." ”
After a pause, Zhao Baishi explained again: "I just asked, how should this battle be fought?" ”
Leng Tiefeng said: "It's nothing more than the soldiers coming to block it, and the water is flooding, it's not a big deal." ”
While the two were talking, the devil's vanguard convoy had arrived within a kilometer, and at this time the devil also found the Sichuan army on the position, so he stopped advancing, and after a while, the devil gathered about a squad of infantry, holding a bright bayonet, and rushed towards the position of the first battalion of the 799th Regiment with a fierce momentum.
"The little devil is still the same old." When Zhao Baishi saw this, he was relieved.
Since the Battle of Songhu, Zhao Baishi has fought with the devils no less than ten times, and he is also quite familiar with the number of attack paths of the devils.
After a large-scale artillery bombardment, the devils will put in the main force of infantry and launch a large-scale attack.
And if the attack fails, the devils will carry out another artillery bombardment, and then throw in the infantry again to launch a second wave of attack, so that the second wave of attacks will fail again, and the devils will not continue to attack, but will send small forces to the two flanks of the national army, ready to intercept the back of the national army, cut off its retreat and supply lines.
The devil's offensive routine is these three axes, but they are still quite effective in actual combat, especially the third axe with two wings, which has been tried and tested repeatedly.
Leng Tiefeng smiled and said: "Commander Zhao, don't worry, with our wolf teeth, don't think about it easily, little devils, our troop deployment and firepower allocation." ”
After speaking, Leng Tiefeng walked out of the shelter with a modified Mauser 98K sniper rifle.
Not far from the shelter, there was the first sniper point selected by Leng Tiefeng in advance, this sniper point was hidden under a multi-ton boulder, and there were bushes in front of it, which could be described as very hidden.
Leng Tiefeng fell to the ground, using his sniper rifle to slightly separate the bushes in front of him.
Soon, the devil approaching along the highway in front of him came into his field of vision.
At this time, about a small group of more than 50 devil soldiers had already opened the straggler line, keeping a distance of about 10 meters from each other, holding bayonets, bending over, cautiously and slowly moving forward, according to the regulations of the infantry drill code, the devils would not charge until they entered a distance of 100 meters.
Leng Tiefeng's field of vision through the scope quickly locked onto a devil standard-bearer with a plaster flag on his bayonet.
The flag is often the soul of an army, so the flag bearer, like the commander, is the priority target for sniping!
Leng Tiefeng first estimated the distance, about six hundred meters, this distance, the trajectory of the bullet will be affected by the airflow to a certain extent, but within the controllable range, Leng Tiefeng used the corner of his eye to observe the shaking amplitude of the bush branches, and then moved the muzzle of the rifle to the left a little, and then gently pressed down the trigger.
At the same time, with a pop sound, a 7.92mm caliber Mauser bullet has been spun at high speed and flew out, whistling away from the devil flag bearer six hundred meters ahead, about three-quarters of a second later, the forehead of the devil flag bearer who was bending forward in the field of vision, there was suddenly a blood hole, and a large cloud of blood mist suddenly splattered out of the back of his head.
The next moment, the devil's standard-bearer fell backwards without saying a word.
The sudden fall of the devil's standard-bearer immediately alarmed the nearby devils, and the frightened devils lay down or squatted down one after another, holding the 38 big cover, and shot indiscriminately in front of them, and could only shoot indiscriminately, because Leng Tiefeng used a rifle equipped with a silencer, and the little devil could neither hear where the gunfire came from, nor could he see the muzzle flame.
