Only by fighting a war of annihilation can weapons and ammunition be captured and replenished. Although the arsenal can also produce some of them, the focus of production arranged by Yang Tianfeng is not firearms, at least not ordinary firearms.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the battle plan must be adjusted accordingly, which is normal, and it cannot be said that Yang Tianfeng is not determined to change his orders every day.
"Captain Zhou, they set off at dusk -- well, around five o'clock in the evening." Yang Tianfeng pointed on the map, "If there is no trouble on the road, you can get back to your place in eight hours." Coupled with our troops, we will be able to form an encirclement of Xiaowang Village. ”
"Order all troops to step up their preparations, take turns to rest, and launch an attack on Xiaowang Village at three o'clock in the morning." Yang Tianfeng's fist slammed into the map, "There are only six or seven hundred enemies left, and there are only more than a hundred devils, even if we rely on our strength alone, it is enough to destroy them." ”
"Of course—" Yang Tianfeng paused and said, "Before attacking, it is still necessary to telegraph with the 61st Regiment, if they can make a detour to their positions, it is more advantageous for the enemy to attack first." ”
One by one, the officers took orders and returned to their respective units to intensify their preparations.
"Wang Guang." Yang Tianfeng called the commander of the artillery company, drew a brief schematic diagram of Xiaowangzhuang on a piece of paper, and marked it, "You have been to Xiaowangcun before, and you have also recorded some measurement data, and you can use it now." According to the tongue captured by the scout, the only two compounds in the village, one is the headquarters of the devils, and the other is where the devils live, and the devils are mostly concentrated in these two places; After the battle began, the artillery should first bombard the enemy's command center and destroy as many devils as possible. Then it was to destroy the enemy's points of fire and support the infantry attack......"
"Humble duty understands." Wang Guang replied loudly, then opened his mouth with some hesitation and hesitation.
The Third Column has always had Type 82 and captured Type 81 mortars, but it has been training qualified artillerymen and has not used them much in several battles.
Previously, this may not have been a deliberate illusion, but it did confuse the enemy and give the Japanese devils a wrong judgment.
The biggest advantage of the 82 mortar was its low weight and ease of movement. At the same time, the 82 mortar had a high accuracy of fire, the ammunition was powerful, and the explosion of shells could cover a radius of fifteen meters. Moreover, the gun has a firing range of up to two kilometers, making it an excellent front-line support light artillery.
In the mountain attack operation, the attack of the Japanese puppet army could not be described as fierce. The commander moved forward, the artillery moved forward, the machine-gun positions moved forward, and were drawn to the foot of the mountain. And the three columns suddenly launched a mine attack at this time, which really surprised the enemy's expectations.
And Wang Guang and his artillery were hidden on the anticline of the mountain, ready to provide fire support at a critical time. But until the enemy was repulsed, the artillery did not have a chance to play.
"Fifty shells." Yang Tianfeng glanced at Wang Guang, gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty rounds of artillery fire are used for rapid attacks, and the rest of the firing points are used." "Fifty shells are already one-third of the number in stock, no wonder Yang Tianfeng has to calculate the allocation.
"Yes!" Wang Guangli saluted and went down to discuss the many arrangements for arranging artillery.
"Contact the roundabout troops every two hours, and tell them the latest arrangements when they get in touch." Yang Tianfeng turned to the radio operator again and said, "I also want to tell them that the radio station should be kept on after the detour and receive new information at any time." ”
"Yes, sir." The operator took down the order and repeated it again.
Yang Tianfeng nodded, got up and walked to the tent, covering his mouth and yawning.
…………
The definition of night combat in the military dictionary is: combat operations conducted at night. Its characteristics are obvious, that is, it can act covertly, reduce casualties, confuse the enemy, surprise the enemy, and annihilate the enemy in close combat. In military history, both regular and irregular forces have often used this combat situation.
In the period of cold weapons, because the lethality and killing distance of the long-range firepower of all sides were relatively limited, night combat was an effective means of surprise attack that was often used. In addition to being able to surprise the enemy and avoid large losses in a frontal attack, it is also suitable for an army that is good at hand-to-hand combat to exert its might.
During the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were countless fierce night battles between the Chinese and Japanese armies, ranging in scale from tens of thousands of people to more than 10 people. As a weaker side, night fighting is an effective combat method for the Chinese army, which can greatly make up for the lack of firepower and combat power.
Because, in many cases, night battles are a kind of surprise attack, which is more suitable for the weaker side to complete. The frequent use of this kind of warfare by the Chinese* armed forces is precisely determined by the disparity in strength between the Chinese and Japanese armies.
And Yang Tianfeng wanted to fight at night, firstly, he wanted to make the mortars approach Xiaowang Village as close as possible under the cover of night; Second, their own troops have sharp weapons for night combat and close combat, pistols with silencers, and shotguns for facial killing. Both of these weapons are being used in combat for the first time and should be of great use. At the same time, the 61st Regiment had the old tradition of the Northwest Army, and was better at night combat and close combat, which made Yang Tianfeng more confident.
3:35 a.m. This is the time when people feel the most sluggish, the most sleepy, and the most prone to insecurity. In addition, it is winter again, and there are puppet troops stationed on the periphery of the village, and the vigilance of the devils is greatly reduced. Especially to the north and west of the village, the defenses were more lax. By the light of the campfire, a few sentries could be seen in the distance dangling back and forth with their necks curled, stamping their numb feet from time to time.
After receiving the telegram on the way, the roundabout troops immediately quickened their speed, and at about half past two in the morning, they rushed to the north of the village four miles away and waited for their orders. The radio station was turned on, contact with the Third Column was established again, and in accordance with the telegraph instructions, various parts assigned tasks, set the time for the attack, and made preparations for the attack.
"Captain Zhou, let's go up first! If you can touch the enemy's sentry, you can also save the troops from rushing hard. Song Qingpu, the captain of the second squad of the special combat team, led the team members to prepare and took the initiative to ask Ying to fight, "If it is exposed, the team will attack again." ”
"General Yang has already explained clearly in the telegram, the intelligence is so detailed, of course I will follow the order." Zhou Zhizhong nodded with a smile and said politely: "Then it's hard work." ”
can reduce the loss of his own people, of course Zhou Zhizhong has no opinion. Moreover, he was not only surprised that the Three Columns could make such a meticulous reconnaissance and obtain such accurate information, but also admired it to the fullest.
Song Qingpu saluted and turned around, greeted him, and disappeared into the night with a few of his subordinates.
