********************************************************************

At the selected breakthrough, the soldiers of the enemy and our armies fought desperately and fought repeatedly. And once the melee combat begins, the shotguns and stab-proof vests worn by the two commandos are of great use. There are also shoes on the feet of soldiers on both sides, and the mud has a greater impact on the devils in military boots.

Between the fireworks, in the muddy splashes, the soldiers on both sides turned into beasts, fluttering and rolling, shouting, roaring, moaning, screaming, the sound of guns, the explosion of grenades, sweat and blood, in the context of all this, humanity was completely abandoned.

With an astonishing sound of "squad cuts", a group of devils braved the bombardment of the blocked mortars and fought back again.

There were constantly devils who were kicked off by the blast or knocked down by shrapnel, but the other devils ignored it and howled frantically to fight back.

Several mortar shells hit the ground, and instead of flying shrapnel, a large fireball exploded, which immediately enveloped the devils within a radius of 100 meters, and the screams and wails sounded fiercely.

The air was stirring and rushing in the flames, and a group of unprepared devils fell into the sea of fire, and the devils with smoke and fire on their bodies ran, jumped, fell, jumped up and howled and ran like crazy, rushed out a few steps and then fell over, like live fish in a boiling oil pot.

Da Da Da ...... The machine guns fired desperately at the devils who rushed out of the flames; Boom, boom, boom...... The shotgun roared at closer range, unleashing a deadly rain of bullets.

After paying heavy casualties, the devils who had sacrificed their lives finally rushed to the position, and they were greeted by a row of shiny bayonets. The opponent in the armor let out a passionate cry and pounced.

Blood splattered, mixed with the popping of bayonets into the flesh, the screams of being stabbed, and the sound of gunfire that didn't talk about fair fighting. The feet are covered with wet mud, the devils look clumsy, their footwork is slow, and some smart guys have already thrown off their boots and fought barefoot.

Liu Dachuan deftly changed his footwork, pulled out the devil's bayonet, and pierced the devil's ribs with a backstab. Another bayonet stabbed at Liu Dachuan, but was forcefully pushed away by the squad leader, and kicked the devil in the crotch. The cracking sound indicated that the devil's egg was broken, and he screamed, his face twisted in pain, and he fell on his back. A soldier who was wounded and fell in the muddy water suddenly turned over and jumped on top of the devil, jamming the devil's neck with all his might. The devil's throat gurgled and his eyeballs bulged out of his sockets.

An old devil with a full beard jumped over, his bayonet was stained with blood, his face was hideous, and his skills were excellent, forcing Liu Dachuan to retreat again and again.

Boom, after a muffled sound, the old devil who was about to stab suddenly stopped moving, half of his face was beaten by a ball of lead bullets, and with terrible pain, the old devil fell straight down like a log.

…………

The stench of scorched corpses and the pungent gore dispersed with the smoke of gunpowder.

There are no safe areas on the battlefield, there are many enemy mortars, and the range of bombardment covers the entire battlefield. The enemy's offensive was fierce, fierce fighting was raging on all sides, and Tanaka had lost contact with many of his troops.

Moreover, Tanaka found that normal tactics were not only ineffective against the enemy, but often played into the enemy's hands. It should be common knowledge to advance after the breakthrough, but the enemy sometimes deliberately stops, quickly deploys dense firearms, and inflicts great damage on the counterattacking locust army, and then takes advantage of the situation to attack.

On the contrary, the defense is more ferocious and cunning than the simple attack, and it also greatly reduces the casualties of the soldiers. Tanaka soon realized that it was not that he was outdated, but that the enemy's weapons and equipment were capable of this style of play. Small mortars have good mobility, are numerous, and are more powerful than grenadiers; The enemy's light and heavy firearms were numerous, and they followed up quickly.

At the same time, Tanaka Ken also found that the enemy's offensive formation was peculiar, something he had never seen before, it was definitely not a skirmish, not dense, not sparse, but the attack was very sharp, and it could continue to strike.

Of course, Tanaka didn't know that this was an assault tactic of the 33 infantry squad platoon required in the 33 column infantry training program. This infantry tactic, in terms of firepower distribution, is clearly divided and coordinated with each other, and is a fairly perfect offensive and defensive formation, and there is no shortcoming that it is difficult to give full play to the firepower of Western skirmishers when advancing in multiple layers.

At the same time, the spacing of each battle group was kept at a reasonable distance, which avoided the problem of excessive losses in the event of artillery fire. According to the calculation of casualties, a mortar shell falling into the attack formation can only cause one casualty, and a 105 howitzer can only knock out two groups at most, even if it encounters the most terrible machine gun side fire, it will not casualty two squads, while the casualties of ordinary line columns under the same situation will reach dozens of people.

However, as a classic warfare technique, the "three-three system" also has its major shortcomings -- perfect cooperation between groups, which requires years of experience accumulation and constant training. In order to shorten this process as much as possible, Yang Tianfeng added noncommissioned officers who perform their own duties to the squad establishment of the three columns, thus making the structure of the unit more rigorous and greatly reducing and lowering the quality requirements of grassroots officers.

Platoon commanders and deputy platoon commanders handle squad leaders, squad leaders and deputy squad leaders handle noncommissioned officers, noncommissioned officers handle two or three soldiers, and so on, and the pressure on the formation and management of the entire unit is much less. The establishment is tactics, and tactics are the establishment, and the more detailed the work, the easier it is to master.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that the armed forces are different, have different characteristics, and have their own fighting styles. But Tanaka Ken thought of the enemy's strength, beyond his expectations, and beyond the expectations of most Locust officers, so would he suffer another defeat in the future because of underestimation or lack of preparation?

Thinking of this, Tanaka was terrified, feeling that his life and death were already sealed, but the most important thing was to send a warning or reminder to save the other locusts.

He turned abruptly, his movements were too hasty, and the wound he had bandaged gave out a sharp pain, and he frowned, and he was just about to dictate the telegram when a continuous explosion suddenly sounded without warning, and it was close at hand.

To the west is Yang Tianfeng and Guo Songlin commanding the battle, attacking and stopping from time to time, and using the rapidly deployed firepower to kill and injure a large number of devils who counterattack; To the east, Chiang's detachment, the special operations brigade, and Ma Bingzhong's cavalry brigade were fighting on one side, and the tactics they used were different, especially the special operations brigade, which naturally had their ingenious fighting methods, that is, to infiltrate in disguise and behead with one blow.

A small team of more than a hundred people, carrying stretchers and disguised as devils who were transporting wounded soldiers, entered through the breakthrough opened by Chiang's detachment. Then he immediately broke away from the main force, took advantage of the gap, disguised himself and fooled around, and on the chaotic battlefield, he was not discovered by the devils he encountered, and he really let them find the temporary headquarters of Tanaka Ken, who had changed places.

After identifying the target, the special operations team continued to approach, took out several devil sentries with pistols and daggers with silencers, and launched a strong attack at a distance of less than 100 meters. The wounded on the stretcher jumped up vigorously, took out the weapons hidden beside them, which were different from the devils, and together with their comrades who were fully equipped with Japanese weapons, bravely rushed towards the devil's headquarters.

The devil in charge of the guard headquarters was caught off guard, and as soon as the direct bombardment of the grenade stopped, countless small melon grenades rained down again. The special combat personnel rushed while throwing, supplemented by the fierce spray of short-barreled shotguns and the stabbing of bayonets. Playing like a madman, a distance of more than thirty meters is likely to be blown up by a grenade.

But this crazy style of play defeated a squadron of devils in a short time, and even the headquarters hastily erected with canvas was blown up by several grenades.

The previous bombardment had already caused casualties among the devil staff officers and officers in the headquarters, forcing Tanaka to have to move. This time the attack was more fierce and the blow was more precise.

Tanaka did not escape this time, and although he did not die, he was injured again. The enemy rushed too fast, and the two devils lifted the canvas, pulled him out, and lifted him up before he was knocked down one by one before he ran a few steps. A grenade exploded next to Tanaka, giving him a fatal blow.

In his blurred vision, Tanaka spurted blood from his mouth and saw the figure rushing to his side. After standing for a moment, his neck ached, his perspective shifted, and the last thing he saw was his own corpse.

Song Qingpu sneered and picked up Tanaka Qin's command knife, cut off the epaulettes on the corpse's clothes, waved his hand violently, and ordered loudly: "Transfer, to the east." ”

……………

The loss of unified command is the most fatal blow to the devils in the encirclement.

Although the quality of the devil's officers is very high, and the squad leader and squadron leader can also command their subordinates to fight separately, the supreme commander is more auspicious and less lucky, and the psychological blow is still extremely heavy.

Breakthroughs had been made in the east and west directions, and the devils defending in the north and south directions were attacked by the interspersed troops from the flank, and the 81st Division and the 14th Cavalry Brigade took advantage of the situation to storm and break through the devils' defense line and enter the depth.

Relying on the superiority of troops, regiments and groups of devils were divided and surrounded, forming more than a dozen isolated islands that were precarious in the wave of attacks. The artillery was almost completely destroyed or lost, and the recalcitrant devils had to face not only the attack of superior forces, but also the bombardment of superior firepower.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the sound of explosions and thunder was mixed, and sometimes it was impossible to tell which was which. The two sides of the enemy, who have been beaten into mud figures, are still desperately fighting, but the isolated islands that the devil is stubbornly resisting are being overwhelmed by the surging attacks one by one.

Kurosawa is like a wounded wolf, and like a bear scurrying around, with more than 300 devils breaking through. But on the left and on the right, everywhere there is the Chinese X army, everywhere there are dense bullets and angry bayonets!

Two hundred and sixty, two hundred, one hundred and seventy, Kurosawa did not notice, the soldiers who followed him were being consumed at an extremely fast speed, and every time they collided, under the blows of mortars, grenades, and machine guns, dozens of devils burst out with blood and fell miserably in the mud.

"Boom!" A deafening explosion shook Kurosawa's ears, and his eyes were blackened by the bright light, and it took him a long time to recover. (To be continued.) )
