"If the Japanese fire is too fierce, then quickly retreat, don't get too many people in." Zhang Wei said to Qiu Wei, who was preparing for the attack, that the infantry in the surrounding feint platoon was ready for battle.

"Don't worry, feint, I know it." Qiu Wei tightened his leggings, put on a steel helmet, tightened the officer's armed belt on his body, and left all the bits and pieces in the position, Zhang Wei planned to carry out a feint attack with a platoon of troops, testing the firepower and defense of the Japanese army, Zhang Wei and Qiu Wei finished explaining the precautions, and the rest of the work depends on this feint platoon, what Zhang Wei has to do, one is to provide cover for them, and the other is to judge and record the Japanese army's defensive equipment through their feint battle.

After Zhang Wei told him, Qiu Wei had to formulate a specific attack plan with the officers and squad leaders of the feint platoon, after all, it was a platoon attacking alone, and all aspects had to be considered thoroughly.

Zhang Wei did not personally arrange the attack of the infantry platoon, and Zhang Wei generally would not interfere with the combat deployment of his subordinates. The platoon led by Qiu Wei is basically fully manned, the whole platoon has three combat squads plus a platoon headquarters, the platoon has a second lieutenant platoon commander, a sergeant platoon is attached to a private signal corps, and the whole platoon has three combat squads, each squad is equipped with a Soviet-made Depp turntable light machine gun, each of the two squads is equipped with a captured Japanese-style 89-type heavy grenadier canister, and everyone has a German-style M35 steel helmet.

Due to the wide defensive position of the Japanese army, it was impossible to make a detour, and the purpose of the attack was to directly attack the enemy's position to judge the enemy's defense.

"Platoon Commander Liu, let's attack normally in a while, tell the brothers, try to advance as much as possible, but don't attack too hard, if the casualties are too large, the gains outweigh the losses, how to fight, you talk about it first."

Platoon Commander Liu, like most of the infantry platoon commanders in the current preparation battalion, is not a cadet, and now the number of cadets is not enough, and the quality of education is not high, only three cadets are supplemented to the preparation battalion, Zhang Wei only let one of them who has fought as a platoon commander, and the remaining two are attached to the company, and they are not allowed to lead the troops directly.

Platoon Commander Liu was a veteran soldier who had been a soldier before the war, and he first enlisted in the sergeant battalion of the teaching corps, and was later assigned to Zhang Wei's platoon as a light machine gun shooter.

"Company commander, I think it's still the old way of fighting, let the brothers not rush too hard in the end, just protect yourself, these three squads, the first squad is the main attacker, the second squad and the third squad have grenadiers, responsible for covering the side response, let the platoon with the second squad side response, and the third squad relies on the platoon headquarters to advance, the old way of fighting."

Qiu Wei nodded, there is nothing wrong with this tactic, it is also the veteran of the first company after the battle, plus Zhang Wei's habitual tactics after training, attacking at the squad and platoon level, saying that the tactical level of the first company can be compared to the Japanese army It is nonsense, but it is also a level that can make the Japanese army feel difficult to parry.

"Yes, then do it, I'll follow your platoon."

The attack plan was determined, and the feint troops were half-squatting in the trenches, waiting for the attack order after covering the fire, and the rear could provide fire cover for the attack, but that referred to a full-scale attack, Zhang Wei launched an attack with a platoon, and the mountain artillery in the rear would definitely not fire, and the artillery shells were counted, and the 46th Division would definitely not cover with mountain artillery for a platoon's feint.

In addition to the heavy machine guns, the covering firepower that can be used in his hands is the two 82 mortars, and the 82 mortar platoon behind the battalion position has re-repaired the position, and the damaged mortars have been treated urgently, and they can continue to fire.

The feint platoon was able to get covering fire before engaging the enemy, mainly these two 82-caliber mortars, the distance between the positions of the two armies was more than 300 meters, and the suppressive effect of the heavy machine guns was very poor, so they could only rely on these two mortars and the grenadiers carried by the feint platoon to suppress the firing.

"Order the 82nd mortar platoon, after our infantry platoon breaks away from the position and rushes forward 50 meters, immediately carry out rapid fire on the Japanese position in front of the infantry platoon's attack, and suppress the fire until the platoon's forward is about 100 meters in front of the Japanese formation, stop firing, and when the platoon returns to the position, resume covering fire." In order to accurately convey the order, Zhang Wei did not let the herald convey it, but directly called the platoon commander of the 82nd mortar platoon.

"Yes! Got it. The platoon commander of the 82nd mortar platoon replied, and then returned to the mortar platoon's position to make pre-launch preparations.

Zhang Wei shook his head a little helplessly, every time he conveyed an order, he had to explain it orally over and over again, and then through several steps such as the signal corps, he could transmit the battle order to the unit that undertook the task, which was very time-consuming, and when the battle was most intense, there was also a possibility that mistakes could be made due to human reasons.

The communications level of the national army is backward, and the communications platoon at the regimental level has a radio station, and only the regimental communications platoon can set up field telephones in battle with more elite troops, and it can only complete telephone communications at the regimental and battalion levels, let alone units below the battalion level.

After a battle, all communications rely on running and shouting, and during the battle, the heralds have to run around the position to convey orders under the rain of bullets and bullets, which is definitely a high-risk occupation, and after the battle, most of the signal corps of each company and platoon will have to be replaced.

Zhang Wei looked at his watch, it was now four o'clock, five minutes later ready to launch a feint, from the waist of the leather lanyard took out the German-made Zeiss six-fold telescope, in order to accurate observation, the lens of the telescope has been wiped spotless, this telescope, Zhang Wei has been used from the teaching corps period to the present, the imported German telescope observation effect is indeed very good, looking at the Japanese position, through the cross scale division on the lens, you can clearly see a part of the Japanese army in the foxhole, You can also see all kinds of strange Japanese corpses in front of your own position.

"Prepare to attack!" Zhang Wei shouted in the trench, signaling to Qiu Wei, Qiu Wei nodded, the attacking infantry platoon began to climb out of the trench, slowly marching out of the position, there were dozens of corpses left by the Japanese army in front of the preparatory battalion position, which could not be cleaned up, blocked in front of the position, if the feint platoon launched an attack directly in the center of the preparatory battalion position, these corpses would inevitably affect the advance and tactical movements of the entire platoon, Zhang Wei chose the right side of the preparatory battalion position to attack and resist, this position is relatively clean in front of the position, and there will be no situation where the Japanese corpses will be stepped on as soon as they come out of the position.

A platoon of infantry climbed out of the trench and made a rapid advance towards the Japanese positions in the distance......

Zhang Wei took the herald and looked at the east direction of the Japanese position on the starting position of the infantry platoon.

Zhang Wei thought to himself, the possible defensive changes of the Japanese army were also relatively hasty, there was no change before the battle, and there must be some changes on the main position, otherwise there would not have been so many foxholes suddenly added in the telescope.
