Chapter 107: Street Battle Arrangement, Engagement

Street fighting refers to hand-to-hand combat in the streets and alleys. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNarrow streets, complex environments, invisible enemies, invisible gunfire...... All this makes street battles fraught with eerie and unpredictable complications.

The biggest difference between street fighting and field warfare is that the battlefield is divided by countless buildings arranged according to certain rules, and any tactical unit is in a relatively closed and narrow scene, which brings restrictions to observation and the use of firepower. However, for the defenders, they are more familiar with the structure of the scene, the preset fire points can be more effective, and the tactical use of interspersed detours is more handy.

Throughout the history of the Anti-Japanese War, there were several street battles that shocked the world and cried ghosts and gods, and the inferior equipment of the Chinese X Army was stunned to beat the Japanese devils to heavy casualties. For example, the Battle of Changde, the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Battle of Hengyang, etc., especially the Battle of Hengyang in 1944.

At that time, the 10th Army of the National Revolutionary Army fought against the Japanese army nearly six times its own in Hengyang, Hunan Province, with an isolated and sick division, and fought a bloody battle for 47 days, killing and wounding the enemy who exceeded the total strength of the own army, which was known as the "Battle of Moscow in the East". The impact of this battle shook the Japanese government and the opposition, and directly prompted the cabinet of Hideki Tojo to step down.

Although there are too few concrete buildings in China's cities and towns, they are not very suitable for street fighting. However, dragging devils with excellent skills and tactics into street fighting, and as a more favorable defensive side, Yang Tianfeng believes that it is the best combat choice. What's more, the Third Column still had a large number of melee weapons, while the Japanese army acted in a hurry, without heavy artillery, and did not carry much ammunition.

Not to mention the street battles in the big city, Yang Tianfeng still remembers the Battle of Songzhuang in North China, where two companies of the Eighth Route fought street battles with several times the enemy, almost beating the Japanese army to collapse, and then broke through at night.

From Yang Tianfeng's anti-water uprising in Vortex Yang to the present, there have been a lot of battles, but even in face-to-face positional battles, he has also performed a lot of tricks that the devil calls despicable and shameless. The reason is very simple, according to the information in his head, he has always been quite jealous of the technical and tactical abilities of Japanese devils.

Accurate shooting, concealed movements, standardized and skilled movements, well-trained, strong individual combat ability, and good coordination between troops......

In this way, not only the Chinese generals, but also the front-line soldiers experienced the strength and excellence of the opponent's military quality in the gladiatorial battle with the opponent.

But being strong does not mean being invincible, at least Yang Tianfeng thinks that it is more accurate and appropriate to attribute those evaluations to field battles. This is not to say that the Japanese army is "mentally retarded" in street fighting, but in street fighting, the technical and tactical level of the Japanese devils will be greatly limited and they will not be able to give full play.

Playing to your own strengths and containing the enemy's strengths, war is never a simple numbers game, nor is it just a game to calculate the advantages and disadvantages of equipment.

The troops left behind in the town were quickly organized, and according to the establishment of the three columns, 10 detachments with rich combat experience (platoon formation, more than 40 people) were drawn out in an organized manner. In the battle, the squad (squad formation, thirteen people) will be used as a unit, and two grenade launchers will be added, equipped with two grenade launchers, one more machine gun, four shotguns, two shell guns, five rifles, and double the number of grenades.

The conscripted civilians and soldiers worked together to break through the walls of many houses, and set up obstacles in the streets and alleys similar to the manipulation wall to facilitate the soldiers to move in disguise. In order to prevent the bombardment from detonating, the town set up more tripping and pulling mines, or used grenades to set up pulling and blasting points, and set up several destruction traps with a large number of explosives; The officers personally surveyed and guided and set up relatively strong crossfire points to reduce the blind spots of the shooting.........

In winter, when it was late in the morning, Dongfang had just turned a little pale, and after the street fighting troops had rested, they entered the town to familiarize themselves with their respective combat areas, lay out their weapons, and then eat and rest.

The large force withdrew from the town, one to the west, and held the road five miles away to receive reinforcements; One to the south, five miles behind the town; The special operations team and two more detachments were already moving in the opposite direction, looking for a hiding place to give way to the enemy, preparing to cut off the enemy's retreat.

More than two hours passed, and the sky finally brightened. The winter morning breeze is cold, but the birds are chirping, as if to clear the way for the sun's departure.

The devil appeared at the end of the line of sight and rolled along the road. First a squad of soldiers, then a squad of infantry, followed by dozens of cars that were slowly moving, the devil still caught up in the end, and the stubbornness can be seen.

Konosuke Yamashita sat in the cab, looking lethargic, but his mind kept churning. In Xierpu Township, Zhaoji, and Hancun, the pursuing troops were blocked one after another. Although the opposing side was not numerous in number, only thirty or forty men, it forced the pursuers to halt their advance. By the time the locust army set up for a fierce attack, the opponents who were holding back quickly fled. As a result, it was either dark and difficult to chase, or the explosion of mines, and the difficulty of preventing the four corner nails.

After killing and wounding a dozen locust soldiers and damaging two cars, Konosuke Yamashita changed tactics in Hancun. Only small units were sent to drive away the blockers, and the brigade continued to advance, with strict orders not to pursue. He could see that the enemy was not blocking, but harassing, delaying, buying time for the flight of a large group of enemies. And the dark night is the best time for the enemy to flee to safety with a large number of people.

It's just that the hateful mines and square nails on the highway make the locust army dare not advance at full speed with confidence. With the scouts in front, they swept away hundreds of square nails and removed more than a dozen mines, but there was also an accident, and the mine explosion still caused some locust soldiers to be killed and wounded. As a result, Konosuke Yamashita believes that his strategy is correct. If you ride in a car and move forward regardless of it, the loss will be even greater.

What kind of enemy is this, what kind of fighting style? Konosuke Yamashita, like all the Japanese officers who fought against the three columns, had doubts about this unfamiliar battle.

Obviously, the Japanese officers lacked understanding and attention to guerrilla warfare. Under the guidance and training of Yang Tianfeng, the three verticals have become more mature and advanced in their fighting style, and their weapons and equipment have become more diverse and sophisticated.

"Da ......" A tongue of fire suddenly erupted from the hidden position on the side of the road, knocking down several of the cautious devil soldiers on the road.

"Enemy attack!" The devil screamed, and with a tactical move of Lisuo, he either lay down or rolled sideways to the side of the road, quickly spreading out. It's just that it's winter, and no matter how neat you are, you look a little clumsy in your thick military coat.

Shots rang out, and the devil fell on his stomach and began to return fire. The sneak attack machine guns stopped as soon as they were fired, and the soldiers bent their waists and withdrew to the town under the cover of the terrain. (To be continued.) )
