Chapter 6: Inverted Triangle Ambush Formation
For the vast majority of people, war is a disaster, and the battlefield is purgatory, but for some people, war means opportunity, and the battlefield is a stage for them to show themselves and express their ambitions. γReading.comγ
Undoubtedly, Koji Tachibana belongs to the latter category of people, and he was definitely born for this troubled time.
Koji Tachibana was born into a family of samurai in Kumamoto, his ancestors were samurai of the Satsuma Domain, his grandfather, father and elder brother were all soldiers, and his own resume is even more extraordinary, first graduated from the land with excellent grades, and during his service in the Kwantung Army, he was recommended by the Kwantung Army Command to enter the Army University.
Three years later, Koji Tachibana graduated from the University of the Land with the first grade in all subjects, and was received by the emperor and presented with a saber, and was honored to be a member of the saber team.
Under normal circumstances, cadets who graduated from the University of the Army must enter the military headquarters or field division to serve as staff officers for at least one year, and then they can go down to the wing to serve as the deputy of the wing.
As soon as he got off the wing, Koji Tachibana got another chance to carry out a combat mission.
Because the timely capture of Wusong Town and the capture of the railway dock cleared the way for the heavy equipment of the Japanese 3rd Division and the subsequent personnel and materials to go ashore, and also laid the foundation for the victory of the Battle of Songhu, Tachibana Koji was commended by the division headquarters and the headquarters of the Dispatch Army, and a few days later he was promoted to Osa, and served as a wing commander.
Koji Tachibana was also the youngest wing commander in the history of the Japanese army, except for the children of the imperial family.
Last night, he once again repeated his old tricks, personally led a small detachment disguised as refugees, blended into the city of Wuxi, and after exploring the location of the various headquarters of the defenders, he guided the aviation to carry out fixed-point bombing, and in the first round of bombing, the command system of the defenders was completely destroyed.
Taking off his ragged clothes and putting on a crisp tweed military uniform, Koji Tachibana immediately transformed from an unkempt Chinese refugee to an officer in the Imperial Japanese Army, and Deputy Wing Commander Jiro Kobayashi walked in with several combat staff officers and bowed to Koji Tachibana.
Jiro Kobayashi said, "Captain, hard work. β
"It's nothing." Tachibana Koji waved his hand and said, "Kobayashi-san, how is the sweeping of the remnants of the enemy in the city going, but it is still going well?" β
Kobayashi Jiro immediately asked the combat staff officer to bring the map, and then pointed to the map and said: "Captain, please see, the remnants of the Chinese defenders have been divided and surrounded by the imperial army in the west, south and east of the city, and other areas, from the battle reports of the major teams, the squadron has completely lost the organized resistance, and the sporadic resistance will be crushed soon, but ......"
Koji Tachibana frowned and asked, "But what?" Kobayashi-san, there is something to say. β
"Hello." Kobayashi Jiro bowed sharply and replied, "Wing Commander, just now the Akita Brigade reported that three sweeping teams suddenly lost contact. β
"Nani?" Tachibana Koji's brows furrowed more and more, and he asked again, "What position?" β
Jiro Kobayashi walked up to the map, pointed to the map and said, "Captain, please look, it's here." β
"Near downtown?" Koji Tachibana tapped the map lightly with his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Kobayashi-san, immediately transfer two squadrons to strengthen the Akita Brigade, focus on sweeping the city center, and then tell Akita that the remnants of the enemy must be eliminated before noon!" Before it gets dark today, I don't want any living creatures in Wuxi City. β
"Hello!" Jiro Kobayashi snapped and straightened upright.

Seeing Xu Rui observing the terrain with something to do, Lin Feng couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are you really going to fight the little devil here?" β
Just killed another sweeping team of devils, and by the way, he also gathered a few remnants.
Xu Rui squinted his eyes and observed the surrounding terrain, and asked Lin Fengdao, "What, do you think it's okay?" β
"What do you think?" Lin Feng said angrily, "You should know that the devil's sweeping team is only an infantry squad at best, but the devil's support team is at least one team, or even a squadron, do you think that with our twenty or so remnants, we can go head-to-head with the devil's team?" β
Xu Rui threw the cigarette butt that was only half smoked on the ground and stepped on it, turned around and asked Lin Feng: "I haven't tried it, how do you know that it can't work?" β
"Do you still have to try?" Lin Feng hurriedly said, "Whether it is troops, firepower or individual combat effectiveness, we are at a disadvantage, and the devil still has a large team of men and horses as backup, but we are fighting alone, and we will definitely not have the slightest chance of winning." β
"Absolutely, I told you, never rush to conclusions!" Xu Rui's expression cooled, he stared at Lin Feng with cold eyes, and said, "That's right, we do only have more than 20 remnants, and we are still fighting alone, the little devil is indeed a large number of people, but who has stipulated that the more people and the more powerful the people, will definitely win?" β
Lin Feng said hurriedly: "Of course there is no such regulation, but this is an objective law. β
"Objective laws?" Xu Rui glanced at Lin Feng coldly, and then said, "I only know the law of tactical use, but I have never heard of the law that there are devils who will win and our army will lose, Chief of Staff Lin, we can't underestimate devils, but don't take devils too seriously, believe me, we will win this battle." β
"We will win this battle?" Lin Feng was dumbfounded and said, "What is the reason? β
"The reason is that the little devil doesn't know how powerful I am Xu yet!" After finishing speaking, Xu Rui turned his head and yelled again, "Machine gun, who else can play machine gun?" I want a machine gunner. β
"I will!" Yang Dashu stood in front of Xu Rui and said proudly.
"You?" Xu Rui glanced at Yang Dashu and asked, "Can it be done?" β
Yang Dashu said angrily: "When Lao Tzu carried the Czech style, you kid didn't know where to play with the mud." β
"It's pretty sideways, that's fine." Xu Rui dialed the other crooked handle he had captured to the repeating position, and then handed the machine gun to Yang Dashu, and said, "Make a single point and show me." β
The burst camera position plays a single point, which is the most exquisite gun feeling of the machine gunner.
Yang Dashu held the crooked handle and gently hugged the fire, and easily hit two single points.
"Okay." Xu Rui nodded, pointed to a half-collapsed bungalow on the right, and said, "You go to the rooftop of that western-style building to ambush, wait for the devil to pass in front of you, don't be in a hurry to fire, wait for my order." β
Yang Dashu looked back at Lin Feng and wondered who this person is? Why do you listen to him?
Lin Feng frowned and said, "Big tree, Chief Xu's order is my order, carry out the order!" β
"Yes." Yang Dashu agreed, picked a sub-shooter from the remnants, and walked away with a machine gun.
Xu Rui turned his head to Lin Feng again and said, "Brother Lin, the machine gun was good just now, so I won't bother the two masters, and you will be a machine gunner again." β
"Okay, no problem." Lin Feng agreed very simply.
Lin Feng may not be a qualified commander, but he is definitely an excellent chief of staff, although his suggestion was not adopted by Xu Rui, but when Xu Rui made a decision, he did not hesitate to choose to obey, unconsciously, even Lin Feng himself did not realize that he had positioned himself as Xu Rui's chief of staff.
"It's a gentleman." Xu Rui gave Lin Feng a thumbs up, and then pointed to a private house on the left and said, "You go to ambush on the roof of the private house over there, pay attention to concealment, don't expose the target, and then, it's still like that, the little devil has passed under your nose, don't rush to fire, wait for my order, do you know?" β
"I see." Lin Feng nodded, and also left with a remnant soldier.
Xu Rui called the remaining 20 or so remnants to him, and then pointed to the row of houses in front of him that had been bombed into ruins, and said in a deep voice: "You and I are ambushing in the ruins over there, pay attention to concealment." β
"Yes!" Twenty or so remnants of the soldiers responded violently and scattered in all directions.
Soon, only Xu Rui and the "promising" veteran were left in the same place.
Xu Rui smiled slightly, and said to the veteran: "Veteran, you should know, what am I going to do, right?" β
"You want to fight an ambush." The veteran said coldly, "But please forgive me, you think about the problem too simply, the little devil's sweeping team is at most one squad, but the support team has at least one infantry squad, just with this mere twenty people, you want to ambush the devil An infantry squad, there is no chance of winning at all." β
Xu Rui said: "It is not impossible to surprise and attack unprepared, and it is not impossible to win more with less." β
The veteran said: "Yes, there is indeed such a saying in the art of war, but the art of war is only the art of war, and no matter how good the tactical use is, it is not enough to make up for the huge gap in strength, especially firepower, you must know that a standard infantry squad of devils has 54 people, equipped with three light machine guns, three grenadiers, and sometimes a Type 92 heavy machine gun." β
Xu Rui smiled, and did not continue to argue with the veteran, but changed the topic and said: "I want to try it anyway, and the ambush position has been chosen, but the devils are not fools, they won't drill into the trap by themselves, so someone has to lure the little devil over, veteran, do you dare to take on this responsibility?" β
The veteran glanced at Xu Rui coldly, picked up the 38 hijab and left without looking back.
As soon as the veteran left, Xu Rui quickly entered the ruins in front of him, and if you look down from the sky at this time, you will find that the ambush point of Xu Rui and the remnants of more than 20 soldiers is exactly a triangle with Lin Feng on the left and Yang Dahu on the right, and this triangle is still an inverted triangle with two points facing forward and sharp corners facing back.
This is the classic inverted triangle ambush array.
The inverted triangle ambush array first appeared in the Vietnam War.
In jungle terrain, using the inverted triangle ambush formation, three people can easily take out a squad, and if there are three machine guns, they can even take out a platoon.
During his time at the military academy, Xu Rui once studied the inverted triangle ambush array in depth.
In Xu Rui's view, the inverted triangle ambush array is also suitable for street fighting, and if it is used well, its power will even exceed that of jungle warfare, and now Xu Rui can finally verify his point of view in actual combat.
In just a few moments, a dense burst of gunfire could be heard from the front, and it was clearly approaching the ambush position.
In less than half a minute, the figure of the veteran turned from the street corner in front of him, and the veteran had just turned the corner, and the dense bullets had already poured over like a storm, hitting the green bricks of the wall behind him into smoke and dust.
Xu Rui became more and more sure that this veteran must have a great background
