Chapter 49: The Sand Table (5)

"How about another skirmish between the two of us?" Tachibana Jun was already standing behind him, and he was also interested when he saw him casually drawing battle maps on the ground. Fastest updates

"How?" Xiao Linghu didn't raise his head.

"Company-level combat!" Tachibana Jun said: "I'll attack you, how about it?" ”

Xiao Linghu couldn't help but turn his head, looking at his flashing eyes, his competitive spirit also rose spontaneously, but he frowned again, and said: "Our Chinese side uses companies as the basic combat units, but you use squads and squadrons as combat units, and the deployment of troops is different, how can you compare?" ”

Tachibana Jun thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, so it's okay, you use a company of one hundred and fifty people to guard this high ground; How about I take this high ground with only sixty men? As he spoke, he casually drew a twig on the ground, and in a moment he drew a battle map.

"Hehe, I'm more than twice your troops, but I'm a bully!" Xiao Linghu laughed, of course, he also knew that now compared with the strength of Chinese soldiers and Japanese soldiers, Tachibana Jun was already quite worthy of himself.

Tachibana Jun didn't care, and said seriously: "My firepower is prepared, two grenadiers, twenty grenades, two light machine guns, everyone else is rifles, and each person has three grenades. ”

"That's all?" Xiao Linghu was a little surprised.

"That's all!" Tachibana nodded affirmatively, looking confident.

"With such a small number of troops, why do you also need to prepare a small steel cannon?" Xiao Linghu kindly reminded him.

Tachibana Jun smiled and said, "Of course it would be good if we really had to prepare that thing, but now we are fighting a battle for the top of the mountain, if I prepare that thing again, won't I bully you?" ”

Xiao Linghu nodded, that kind of small steel cannon is a portable mortar, which can be disassembled and carried on the shoulders to carry on the march. Every squadron of the Japanese army had that stuff in the standard build.

"Is there a problem with your firepower consisting of two light machine guns, one heavy machine gun, a number of grenades and a number of bullets per person, and a rifle per other person?"

Xiao Linghu thought about it and shook his head: "No problem!" ”

According to the standard configuration of the current ** company, there are very few companies that can have a heavy machine gun, but there are only two light machine guns, which is a little less, but a heavy machine gun is already very satisfactory to him.

"Okay, now that we're going to start fighting, you can arrange it first!" Tachibana Jun said to Xiao Linghu.

Xiao Linghu thought about it, of course, he had to dig a trench on his own high ground first, and then face the road below, and arrange the heavy machine gun there at the halfway point ten meters before the left front, and build a bunker; The reason why the heavy machine guns were placed here was to block the enemy's retreat.

Seeing Xiao Linghu arranged it like this, Tachibana Jun shook his head with a wry smile, he knew Xiao Ling's thoughts, and he clearly wanted to catch them all and not give the opponent a chance to escape. Xiao Linghu only thought about his victory, but he didn't think about what he would do if he lost.

Xiao Linghu placed the other two light machine guns, one in the middle and the other on the right flank. The light machine guns on the right flank were also in the forward position, and of course the necessary bunkers were to be made. In addition, between the two trenches, he reserved three more machine-gun bunkers, in case the enemy broke through to the position, the forward machine guns could be withdrawn in time.

As for the arrangement of personnel, Xiao Linghu spread out three platoons, one in the middle, the second platoon on the left, and the third platoon on the right, firmly occupying the entire position in a semi-encircled shape.

Seeing that Xiao Linghu had finished arranging, Tachibana Jun then went on the field, he entered the battlefield from right to left, and sixty people were scattered to prevent the enemy's ambush and the penetration of the three-dimensional firepower network.

He did not enter the whole army as soon as he entered the field, but divided the sixty people into three groups and approached at a distance of more than twenty meters between each two groups.

The Japanese troops in the first group walked to the attack range of the light machine gun position on the right, but Xiao Linghu did not shoot immediately, he arranged two sharpshooters with better marksmanship in the middle section, for him, he felt that the enemy's machine gun should be the deadliest weapon that threatened his entire defensive force, so at the beginning, it was necessary for him to kill the enemy's machine gunners in the woods.

Because Tachibana's marching arrangement was relatively wide, at this time, for Xiao Ling, there was another problem, whether to let the enemy go over to fight, or to block and fight.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Linghu still decided to let it go, because his most powerful lethal weapon was placed on the left side of the position. At this time, he regretted a little, it was better to put the heavy machine gun in the center of the position, as a point of fire to attract the enemy's attention, and at the same time he could take care of the left and right.

Tachibana's team finally entered the fan-shaped fire range of the position, and Xiao Linghu did not hesitate any longer, and the two groups of hidden sharpshooters took the lead and killed the enemy's two machine gunners. At this time, Tachibana Jun also spread out all the troops, looking for suitable positions from the main road to cover them all, and the battle for the position attack officially began.

Due to the policy of striking first and being strong, in the early stage of the battle, Xiao Linghu had a great advantage in time and place. Therefore, in the case that the opponent has not yet had time to organize a counterattack, he will use three machine gun fire points to suppress the opponent at the foot of the mountain.

Of course, at this time, Tachibana Jun would not be passively beaten, and soon organized a firepower counterattack. His target, of course, was to rush into the heavy machine-gun position, which was extremely high-fired.

On the general combat battlefield, if there is a preset position, the heavy machine gun will of course become the core of the whole army, and all the firepower arrangements will of course revolve around this heavy machine gun, after all, it is not easy to carry such a heavy thing back and forth. Even if the enemy wants to attack the heavy machine gun position, unless it is a long-range artillery attack, the other methods can only be used to attack with grenadiers at close range, but the effective attack distance of the grenadier is not far, only about 50 meters, and when it reaches a distance of 100 meters, it will lose its crosshairs.

Therefore, when Tachibana Jun was about to use the grenadier to deal with the heavy machine gun, Xiao Linghu played a trick, and he aimed the rifle fire of the skirmishers at the two moving enemy grenadiers.

Under the powerful fire from the front, Tachibana Jun barely took a step forward, and he began to regret a little, he should not have given up his due mortar. If that thing was there, even if Xiao Linghu had more heavy machine gun positions, he could easily defeat them.

However, when Xiao Linghu was going all out to suppress the enemy under the position, Lihuajun actually divided his troops again, and according to the current situation, more than sixty people should have lost five to ten percent, which means that he would only lose six people killed or wounded at most.

Tachibana Jun sent more than 20 people behind him to detour back to the flank and rear of Xiao Linghu's position, but this was the dead corner area of Xiao Linghu's machine gun, and there was no strong firepower to cover at all.

Xiao Linghu urgently withdrew the light machine gun in the right front, preparing to deal with the enemy outflanked from the flank and rear. But he sighed a little in his heart, Tachibana Jun dared to divide his troops with such a small number of troops, and looking at him like this, he clearly wanted to fight a war of annihilation.

Tachibana Jun's division of troops immediately had an effect, and the troops that moved to the rear of the side still carried a grenadier canister, and they actually moved to the rear of the heavy machine gun position, and soon grenades fell from the sky, and the heavy machine gun position that Xiao Linghu made very firmly exploded into the sky like this, which was equivalent to knocking out the heavy weapon that Xiao Linghu valued the most.

If Xiao Linghu eats a fly, he only feels that his appetite is churning, and he can't wait to spit out everything in his stomach.

At this time, one step of the move, one step of the move, the right flank because of the withdrawal of the light machine gun, the firepower immediately weakened, and at this time, Tachibana Jun put one of his machine guns at the mercy of here, firmly suppressed the right flank's ** position, their charge officially began, and in an instant, the right flank's position was lost.

The battle in the back becomes meaningless, for Xiao Linghu, there are only two in front of him, one is to rely on the large number of people, hand-to-hand combat with the opponent, hoping to recapture the position again; Another option is to retreat at the right time to reduce the necessary casualties.

Of course, the retreat represents the change of position, and it is also the defeat of the battle for the position they set in advance.

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Linghu had to drop the branch and admit defeat.

Of course, he could also take the first option, which is to fight more and fight less in hand-to-hand combat, but that is already an almost rogue fight. He and Tachibana Jun were just fighting on the battlefield this time, and they didn't really have to fight on the battlefield.
