The sun at noon is scorching, and the sun is so hot that people's bodies are about to bubble!

Chen Qicai, the first company commander Han Baohu, and the instructor Sun Zhiyuan climbed next to a low wall at the entrance of Doucun Village, looking at the little devils who quietly touched the village. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It should be a search team of little devils, with five devil soldiers in front and the main force of the team behind.

The terrain along the Yellow River is complicated, there are no roads, and the tanks, armored vehicles, and cars of the little devils cannot reach here, so they can only march on foot by infantry. It is worth pondering that the little devil can touch such a remote place.

After a while, Chen Qicai whispered to Han Baohu and Sun Zhiyuan: "This group of little devils should go to Luokou to copy the back road of the main force of our regiment. Behind the search team, it must be a large army of devils, and it should be an infantry brigade. We are not devil opponents, we must concentrate firepower to fight quickly, just defeat the disabled devil search team, and we can't face the devil army behind. As soon as we see each other, we can't leave! Did you hear me clearly? ”

Han Baohu and Sun Zhiyuan both nodded.

Chen Qicai rubbed the shell gun on his thigh, and the nose of the machine opened, and then said to Han Baohu and Sun Zhiyuan: "You two go and master the machine gun, and put the devil close to fight." Spread down, if Lao Tzu doesn't shoot, no one is allowed to shoot! ”

Chen Qicai is worthy of being a veteran of the Red Army who has experienced a hundred battles and knows the importance of mastering machine gun firepower!

When he fought the Tuqiao stronghold in a company, he made a great contribution and became a veritable sharp knife of the Wudi Independent Regiment, and the equipment was naturally good. After the Battle of Luokou, because the Wudi Independent Regiment had to defend the Yellow River defense line, Xiao Siming strengthened the firepower of the Wudi Independent Regiment when he left. Each infantry squad now has a light machine gun, but all of them are crooked machine guns from the captured Fourth Independent Brigade of the Japanese Railway.

During the reconnaissance mission, Chen Qicai originally wanted to let the company bring two heavy machine guns, but considering that the distance was long and the burden could not be too heavy, which would affect the mobility of the troops, he brought three more Czech light machine guns from the replaced Chinese-made weapons, so that the number of light machine guns in the company reached 12, and the firepower was strong enough.

This is the advantage of winning a series of battles, and if there are many captures, the weapons and equipment of the troops will naturally be good. You must know that at this time, some Eighth Route Army troops, a platoon may not have a light machine gun!

With such firepower, Chen Qicai is confident that he is absolutely sure of dealing with a devil search team!

When they were still 400 meters away from the village, the five devil soldiers stopped, lay down on the ground, and began to observe the movement in the village.

After the leader of the devil squad came up with the team, he set up machine guns and grenadiers at a distance of 400 meters where the soldiers were lying, and then commanded a knife to point at the village, shouting "kill and give," and the three Type 96 light machine guns opened fire towards the village.

This is fire reconnaissance!

The villagers in the small village have all run away, and only the company hidden in the village remains, and the fire reconnaissance of the little devils will naturally not be effective.

The machine gun fired, and there was no movement in the village, and the leader of the devil squad probably judged that there was no one in the village, so he ordered an attack on the village.

Under Chen Qicai's gaze, two devil infantry detachments began to pounce on the village!

The fighting qualities of the little devils of the 16th Division are really strong and strong. No, there was not the slightest movement in the village, and the little devils were still cautious, bending over, and running forward quickly in a straggler formation. When they were only 200 meters away from the entrance of the village, the devil infantry of the two detachments lay down again, carefully observing the movements in the village.

Chen Qi knew that 200 meters was the best range for the 38 big cover. At this time, if any soldier does not pay attention and shows his head, the rifleman of the little devil can kill with one shot.

After the devil infantry detachment lay down, it began to shoot, and it was another fire reconnaissance.

The three machine gun groups and grenadier groups of the little devils quickly followed up at this time, advanced another 200 meters, and re-erected the machine guns and grenadiers at the location of the devil's infantry detachment.

At this point, the little devil can be regarded as truly completing the offensive preparations.

All three machine-gun crews had set up positions, and the grenadiers had been erected to cover the fire, and the devil infantry got up from the ground at great speed, and then rushed towards the village in an evacuation formation.

100 meters, 50 meters, 30 meters, until the little devil rushed to him, his nose and eyes were clearly seen, Chen Qicai shouted "hit", and the shell gun in his hand "Da Da Da", it was a three-shot burst, which knocked the little devil who rushed in front of him on his back and fell!

Suddenly, the company in ambush in the small village opened fire, and the crisp cries of crooked machine guns, Czech light machine guns, and 38 big covers echoed along the Yellow River.

Clucking, clattering, mixed with the sound of "horn hook" and "horn hook", a company of firepower shrouded the devil search team in a rain of bullets.

The small village, which was originally uninhabited, instantly turned into an impregnable wall, making the heads of the devil team bleed!

The leader of the devil squad never dreamed that he would capsize in the gutter and encounter an ambush in this small village called "Doucun" on the map by the Yellow River, and the opponent's firepower was so fierce that his team staggered and suffered heavy casualties.

Since the 16th Division entered the battlefield of aggression against China, it first participated in the northern section of the Jinpu Road, and then transferred to Central China to send troops to capture Changshu and Danyang, and marched all the way west to Nanjing City. Then he was transferred back to North China, participated in the Battle of Xuzhou, and attacked all the way to Shangqiu.

It should be said that the 16th Division has been fighting smoothly on the battlefield of aggression against China, and has rarely been defeated. The only battle that made the 16th Division painful was the ambush that Xiao Siming led his troops to fight in Mafang Town. In that battle, not only did he completely annihilate the 20th Cavalry Wing of the 16th Division, but also killed two infantry squadrons, a machine gun squadron, and a large artillery squadron of the devils along the way, and the commander of the 16th Division, Lieutenant General Nakajima Imasago gritted his teeth when he thought about it!

It is impossible to fight without casualties, but the most feared thing is to be completely annihilated. If a certain unit is completely annihilated, it will be tantamount to a new unit if it is replenished and formed, and its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Because the 20th Cavalry Wing of the 16th Division was completely annihilated, the wing flag and the epaulettes, badges, identity plates, command knives, binoculars, compasses, briefcases, and watches of the wing commander Toshimatsu Kasai were all sent to Wuhan for the people to visit.

In addition to the Battle of Mafang, the 16th Division did indeed fight very well on the battlefield of aggression against China, although it was ranked lower in the serial number of the permanent divisions, but its combat effectiveness was faintly on par with the Fifth Division and the Sixth Division!

Because of the smooth sailing, the 16th Division's battle loss ratio was relatively low, with many veterans and high tactical quality.

This devil squad leader, since landing in Tanggu, Tianjin, with the 16th Division, and stepping on the battlefield of invasion of China, has led his own team to go all the way to the rampage, and he has done bad things, I am afraid that his grandfather and father have never thought about it, and they will not lose a few times if they die!

The captain of the devil squad has rich experience in the battlefield, and when he suddenly encounters a sudden blow, the command knife points forward, and he shouts "kill to give", and orders his three machine gun teams to fight back!

When it comes to real combat effectiveness, the first battalion and one company of the Wudi Independent Regiment led by Chen Qicai are definitely not comparable to this devil squad. The reason is simple, the gap in shooting accuracy is too big! But now it is a company ambush, in order to be prepared to fight unprepared, and there are too many machine guns in a company, and the firepower is fierce and dense.

The machine guns of the Eighth Route Army, which were personally commanded by the first company commander Han Baohu and instructor Sun Zhiyuan, were the first order of firing was the Japanese machine gun group and grenadier group. Those devil machine gunners, grenadiers, and ammunition men were beaten on their backs under the strafing fire of the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army.

The command knife of the devil squad leader pointed forward, and "kill to give" was also shouted in vain, and it was impossible for his machine gun team and grenadier group to carry out the order.

That's a matter of tactical philosophy!

The cadres above the platoon level of the Wudi Independent Regiment were all transferred from various units of the previous detachment of the eastward advance, and they had learned the tactics taught by Xiao Siming.

Han Baohu and Sun Zhiyuan, who were afraid that their machine gunners would not be able to make their heads, actually organized all the 12 light machine guns of the whole company and concentrated their firepower on the machine guns and grenadiers of the devils. Every time a machine gun hits a shuttle, the machine gunners, grenadiers, and ammunition men of the little devils are all beaten into a sieve!

Defeat the Japanese machine gun group and grenadier group, and the outcome of this ambush battle has already been decided. Immediately afterwards, a company of machine guns concentrated on the devil infantry.

The little devil has only one squad and three infantry detachments. When the leader of the devil squad gave the order to attack the village, the two squads also touched the village one left and one right, and the leader of the devil squad himself also led a detachment to lie down on the spot in the back, observing the movement, and preparing to support at any time.

At this time, this devil detachment had already fired a counterattack, and the bullets were chirping, flying towards the position of the Eighth Route Army.

The little devil's counterattack, the good fighting quality is reflected, basically the gun is fired, and there are casualties in the company.

It's just that this devil detachment has too few opportunities to shoot, they can fire two shots per person at most, and the machine gun fire of the Eighth Route Army will sweep over, and twelve machine guns will suppress an infantry detachment, even if the little devil has good marksmanship, it is useless, and he still has to obediently report back to the Yasukuni Shrine!

The scale of this battle was very small, and the time of the battle was short, and the Eighth Route Army did not have time to carefully clean the battlefield, but only took away the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese army, and hurriedly retreated with the remains of the wounded and martyrs. However, in the eyes of the captain of the devil brigade who came later, the significance of this battle was greater, indicating that the main force of the Eighth Route Army in this area was the kind of unit with the best equipment and the strongest combat effectiveness. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to quickly eliminate its search team before the main force of his brigade could catch up with reinforcements! (To be continued.) )
