Chapter 41 Blocking Tactics of the Reconnaissance Platoon

After suppressing the devil squad on the hillside, Wang Quanyou ordered three light machine guns to aim at the devils on the opposite hillside and open fire.

At this moment, Wang Quanyou's ears heard the sound of "sun", followed by a "boom", and a shell exploded on the hillside more than ten meters away from the reconnaissance platoon.

This is a test shot of devil artillery!

Wang Quanyou immediately shouted: "Stop shooting!" One squad leader stayed to observe, and the others withdrew! Drill the cave and go! ”

Just now, when Wang Quanyou and the others climbed over the mountain along the main road, they saw two abandoned small caves on the side of the road, which may have been left by the villagers when they were building the road a long time ago.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon immediately withdrew and hid in a two-hole small cave on the side of the road not far from the mouth of the mountain, leaving only Gu Jianfei, the leader of the squad, to climb alone in the flowing ditch on the inside of the main road, observing the movements of the Japanese army.

After a while, the little devil's cannonball exploded with a bang, and Shangliang Mountain was dusty, withered grass and leaves were flying everywhere, and smoke was filled.

Listening to the sound of the cannon, Wang Quanyou said: "Be good! The little devil has invested a lot of money, and even the mountain cannon has been pulled up! ”

Xu Chao, the second squad leader, said sadly: "Platoon leader, there are too many devils, and the hard top will definitely suffer a big loss!" I don't know if the battalion commander has transferred, do you send someone back to report it and urge the battalion commander to transfer quickly? We won't last long! If the little devil doesn't have aircraft and artillery, on this terrain, we have no problem guarding it for a day, and the little devil can't attack it! ”

The third squad leader pouted: "Nonsense! If the devil didn't have aircraft artillery, could Beiping, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing, Taiyuan, Shijiazhuang, and Jinan be lost? I'm afraid that if you put a table and invite them, the little devils won't dare to enter China! ”

Wang Quanyou was silent for a long time, and only said after a while: "I guess, we don't need to report, the battalion commander will know that we have encountered the devil as soon as he hears the gunshot." But he won't withdraw! At this moment, eighty percent of the battalion commanders have already set up their positions, waiting for the little devil to serve the food! His marksmanship is so good, one shot at a time, where would he be afraid of the little devils! I'm afraid that every day I dream of the little devil taking the initiative to attack! Didn't you see that the battalion commander had already asked the trumpeters to blow the trumpets and the flags to send the flags, ordering us to withdraw as soon as we blocked the attack? After a while, the shelling of the little devils stopped, and we immediately went to the position and beat down the devils who climbed up. Repeat this a few times, and the main forces of the battalion in the back will have time to build positions! ”

Xiao Siming inadvertently said a few times that when the devil was served, the cadres remembered it and learned it!

There is a new soldier in the reconnaissance platoon, who is from the guard battalion of the former Zeng Wanzhong Third Army who was rescued in Yuxian County, named Wan Heizi, and his gun is very accurate, and he killed two little devils with five bullets when he hit the blocking fire just now.

Through complaining, Wan Heizi understood the difference between the Eighth Route Army, the Dian Army, and the Central Army, and his consciousness also improved, but he still had a little pimple in his mind, and he always felt that the Eighth Route Army was not as good as the Central Army.

Seeing that what the platoon commander and the two squad leaders said was true, Wan Heizi pursed his lips and interjected: "This kind of encounter, without our notice, the battalion commander is afraid that he will run away a long time ago!" In a war, every time the national army loses, the commander runs first, and the commander runs silently first, then the army commander runs silently, and then the division commander and regiment commander run with their heads bored. If they hadn't run away first, the troops wouldn't have dispersed, and I wouldn't have gotten lost, unable to turn around in this big mountain, and captured alive by the little devils! ”

The third squad leader, Shui Run, immediately scolded: "Pull your mother's eggs!" What kind of troops are you? What kind of troops are Lao Tzu? I tell you, Lao Tzu is the Red Army! It is a Red Army that is not afraid of death, hardship, and tiredness! The old men in the snowy mountains and meadows have all come over, can they still be afraid of the little devils? The battalion commander won't run! The Red Army didn't have that rule! If you don't believe it, we'll see if the battalion commander will be waiting for us all the time when we withdraw later! ”

Wan Heizi was silent, but he didn't think so, thinking that it was boring to talk about it, and he would withdraw if he was alive!

The Japanese shelling lasted about 5 minutes before it stopped. After a while, there was a faintly sharp whistle, and Wang Quanyou immediately shouted: "The devil has touched it!" All platoon on the ground! ”

After speaking, Wang Quanyou took the lead out of the broken cave and ran towards the mountain mouth with a barge gun with a large head open in one hand and a 38 cover in the other.

The little devil did touch it, less than 150 meters away from the mountain beam pass occupied by the reconnaissance platoon, and the squad leader Gu Jianfei was shooting, and with a "horn hook", he knocked a little devil who had just straightened his waist to the ground.

As soon as Wang Quanyou turned the mountain, he fell to the ground, put the shell gun aside, picked up the rifle, pushed the bullet into loading, took careful aim, and "hooked" a shot, hitting a little devil who stood up straight and raised the gun to shoot on his back.

Then, Wang Quanyou shouted: "Climb low for me, don't show your head!" The little devil's marksmanship is surprisingly good, whoever shows his head will die! The machine gun focuses on the machine gunner and grenadier of the little devil, and the rifle is aimed at the fight to save bullets! ”

This kind of concise, powerful and to the point order does not look like it was given by a platoon commander!

In fact, before participating in the three-day training organized by Xiao Siming, it was impossible for Wang Quanyou to give such an order. In the past, when fighting in battles, company commanders, instructors, and platoon commanders were the first to jump up and shout after three bullets: "Rush! Suppress the enemy", and then take the lead in the charge, strive to kill the enemy group as quickly as possible, start a white-knuckle fight with the enemy, and defeat the enemy with a spirit that is not afraid of death! Now it is different, Xiao Siming strictly stipulates that it is forbidden to expose the troops to the fire of the Japanese army until all the ammunition is exhausted, that is, it is forbidden to charge at will and start a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese army. If you can talk to devils with bullets, you don't need grenades, and if you can use grenades, you don't need bayonets! The bayonet is a means of combat that is used only at the last critical moment when there is no hope of survival!

Let Xiao Siming train, the cadres of the independent battalion have learned well, or rather, they have become cunning, and they are even more capable of fighting!

There are more little devils coming up this time than just now, and they should be the infantry squadron following the spearhead squad.

The little devil's individual tactical quality is very high, the attack formation is wave-like, there is a gap between each infantry squad, and each infantry detachment is well coordinated and not crowded. Unfortunately, there is a large slope below, a large road where donkey carts and ox carts can be walked, and it spreads diagonally down the half-slope until it reaches the bottom of the ditch, and then spirals to the opposite slope. The main road is easy to walk, but it is also easy to be killed. Walking on a roadless hillside, the chances of survival are much greater, but it is very difficult, and it is good to be able to stabilize the body, and it is not possible to give full play to the advantages of the little devil's accurate shooting skills of shooting while running.

This situation is a good opportunity for those recruits who joined the army in Yuxian County to practice shooting!

Cluck, cluck, the Type 96 light machine gun is still screaming!

Horn hook, horn hook, 38 big cover in the ring!

It didn't take long for the little devil to recede like the waters of the ebbing tide.

Boom, boom, the Japanese artillery spoke again.

The reconnaissance platoon retreated again into the broken cave on the other side of the mountain.

If you play this way, if you fight for a day, it will be impossible for the little devils to attack. Are the casualties too great!

Boom, boom, as the Japanese shells exploded, a pungent smell suddenly filled the air. Gu Jianfei, the squad leader who stayed on the side of the road at Shanzui Pass to observe the movements of the devils, quickly took down the bureau that delivered the Japanese army to his waist and put it on.

Wang Quanyou, who was in the broken cave on the other side of the mountain, smelled a strange smell, but he took out a towel, unscrewed the lid of the kettle, poured water on it, got it wet, and covered the towel on his face!

The other fighters also poured water on their faces with towels.

This is the effect of Yuxian County's whole training!

This is the Taihang Mountains, the mountains are also windy, and the poisonous gas released by the little devils was blown clean by the strong wind for a short time. When Gu Jianfei's whistle sounded again, Wang Quanyou, who ran back to the side of the road at the mountain beam pass, found that this time it was a little bad, the little devil relied on the advantage of troops, leaving only a small part of the nobles to attack along the main road, and most of the troops went around the ditch to the north of the road to touch the mountain beam. It won't be long before the devil will rush down the mountain beam!

The little devil was really ruthless, and at the same time as the infantry attacked the mountain pass, the cannon on the opposite mountain beam opened fire again, and it was so accurate, and the impact point was 50 meters in front of the attack pace of the devil infantry, and the cannonball opened the way for the devil infantry. It's just that because of the terrain, the little devil's shells fell on the slopes and ravines under the main road.

After beating back the devils on the road again, Wang Quanyou saw that it was almost over, and if he didn't retreat, he would be made dumplings by the devils who rushed down from the mountain beam in the north, so he decisively ordered to retreat!

The reconnaissance platoon withdrew, the little devil's artillery didn't know, and they were still desperately shelling, and the shells blew up the potholes on the mountain beam, until the devil's infantry climbed the mountain mouth out of the mountain beam, and found the traces on the crooked mountain road, as if there had never been a fierce battle here!

After the reconnaissance platoon withdrew from the road, it ran forward as fast as it could, and after running into this ditch, it did not run along the main road in the direction of Nianzigou, which would sell its back to the little devils who rushed up to the mountain beam that had just been attacked.

Wang Quanyou led the soldiers down the bottom of the ditch to the Xiushui River Valley, followed the sheep intestine trail by the river, turned the mountain mouth, and circled back to the Nianzigou.

When the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon came back to report the news saw Xiao Siming, Wang Meng, the commander of the third company, had already climbed the mountain ridge where the small village of Nianzigou was located with the first platoon of the third company, the fire support platoon, and the first platoon of the heavy machine gun team, and the soldiers had already begun to build a position.

When Wang Quanyou led the reconnaissance platoon to block the attack, Xiao Siming climbed on the commanding heights of the mountain beam south of Nianzigou with a guard squad and a signal communication squad, holding a telescope to observe!

Wang Quanyou's performance is indeed very good, so good that Xiao Siming, who was holding a telescope to observe, couldn't help but admire: "This Wang Quanyou is not simple, he is making rapid progress, and he can be the company commander of the main company!" ”
