Chapter 642 Plum Blossom Array

The plum blossom array is also the gossip array, which can be big or small.

In fact, the essence of Plum Blossom Town is to block all the enemy's offensives, two firepower points are set up on each horizontal line, and the firepower points on the front and back and left and right are connected, forming a triangular position one after another, no matter which direction the little devil attacks from, he will fall into the blow of crossfire.

Of course, if it is a large-scale defensive battle, a defensive position can be formed with companies and battalions on each horizontal line to form a large-scale triangular firepower network.

The second battalion and the first company of the third regiment of the Luxi garrison brigade are limited in strength, and they are only the outpost positions of the whole regiment, and the task is only to hold the Yellow River for half an hour to block the devils. The company had nine infantry squads, and a total of nine horizontal lines of defense were arranged. He and instructor Cui Yan led the fire support platoon and the fire support squad of each platoon to form two large fire points in the formation to provide fire support for the whole company.

In the past, many of the best defenses were basically first-line configurations, with a little breakthrough and wavering across the board. When Zhang Zhizhong and Chen Cheng were in Xi'an to deduce the battle situation with Liu Yimin, Liu Yimin pointed out this shortcoming. In the defense of Nanjing commanded by Zhang Zhizhong, he participated in the battle and set up positions according to Liu Yimin's method and achieved a lot of success. When Liu Yimin met with Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren in Xuzhou, he once again specifically pointed out the shortcomings of the defensive line configuration of various troops. As a result, during the Battle of Wuhan, all the units were deployed in depth, which made the little devils suffer, and the reason why the Japanese army did not form a unit to eliminate a division for several months was directly related to Liu Yimin's suggestion.

After the instructor joined the war, he rarely fought positional warfare. The devils who had the opportunity to engage in positional warfare with their instructors all went back to ****. The current little devil has never seen what the positional warfare of the Eighth Route Army instructor is like, and today can be regarded as a real experience.

After the devil's first tank was blown up by an anti-tank mine, there was no imaginary gunfire from the positions of the company. The infantry behind the tank rushed up with confidence and courage to check the reason for the bombing of the tank, and even the crew members of the tank climbed out to repair the blown up tracks.

At the beginning, the devil infantry was still more careful, many people crawled on the ground, shooting and searching around with guns, and the devil tanks in the back also began to fire tom tom in a row. Later, seeing that there was no shooting from the Eighth Route Army, the little devils were relieved, and one by one they began to search the station.

What a good target this is, if the Eighth Route Army doesn't fire again, it won't be the Eighth Route Army. Sure enough, the Eighth Route Army fired, and the crisp sound made by the 38 big cover was very beautiful, a "horn hook" was followed by a "plop", and it was really like the lyrics sang, "The devil will amplify the cannon, the Eighth Route Army will pull the bolt and aim at it, and the horn hook will kill a little Japan, and he will stare at the west with both eyes, hey, hey." ”

More than a dozen little devils fell to the ground in the blink of an eye. Now, the devil panicked, it turned out that there was the Eighth Route Army to block the attack

Whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the little devils, the law on the battlefield is the same, that is, the sound of gunfire is an order. With this shot, the Eighth Route Army exposed the blocking position. However, the light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers of the company did not fire, and the gunfire was even more sparse, and there was a situation that lacked bullets and was unsustainable.

The commander of the devil mistakenly thought that it was the county brigade that had just withdrawn, and it had no heavy firepower, so he pointed his command knife at it and ordered the troops to attack the position of the company under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles

This part of the devils doesn't know which garrison division it is, it seems that the number of tanks and armored vehicles is limited, plus the tank that has just been destroyed, there are only three tanks and four armored vehicles in total. As soon as the devil commander gave the order, the two tanks and four armored vehicles of the little devil burst out a puff of black smoke, and rushed towards the position of the company, and the machine guns on the car also began to strafe with all their might, and the bullets splashed like water, and scattered towards the position of the Eighth Route Army.

The devils of a squadron following behind, seeing the tanks and armored vehicles, also launched a charge, wanting to occupy the position of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

In Meihua Town, where a company is arranged, the firepower points of each infantry squad are all hidden bunkers, and the machine guns do not fire, so it is difficult for little devils to find out. The only open fire point was the grenadier position of the fire support platoon led by Qiu Fuxi and Cui Yan. The little devil only had two tanks, four armored vehicles and a squadron of infantry, and Qiu Fuxi felt that there was no need to use grenadiers to let the devil attack the plum blossom array.

Qiu Fuxi is worthy of being from the teaching team of the Red Seventh Army, and he has a thorough understanding of the role of the plum blossom array. Since the essence of this plum blossom array is to block all enemy attacks in each direction, you can also put the enemy into the formation so that you can give full play to your firepower to annihilate the enemy. This is especially important when encountering little devils with air superiority. No matter how many devil planes there are, the pilot looks down from the air, and the two armies are intertwined, and he does not dare to drop bombs or dive strafing at will, so it is difficult to say whether he can kill the Eighth Route Army, and it is certain that he will bomb the Japanese army by mistake.

In fact, Qiu Fuxi could also prevent the little devils from attacking the position, in addition to laying anti-tank mines, iron watermelons, and land mines on the front line, he also planted electric explosives, so that without the soldiers firing, he could press the detonator of the electric explosives and send the little devils back to little Japan. Qiu Fuxi was born in the old Red Army, and he had a solid heart for fighting, and he couldn't look down on the little devils of this squadron, and those precious electric explosives should be used in large-scale attacks by devils, at least on the scale of devils' brigades.

With the devil's attack, another tank and an armored vehicle pressed on the anti-tank mine and was blown down. There were also unlucky little devil infantry who stepped on iron watermelons and ground mines, and were killed and wounded. Explosions sounded one after another in front of the company's position, and the dust was filled.

The little devil was indeed more cunning, and the route of the surviving tank became the route of three armored vehicles, and soon rushed into the plum blossom formation of the Eighth Route Army. The devil infantry threw down the dead and wounded soldiers, followed the tank armored car, and rushed up.

Looking at the little devil playing a gun, bending his waist, and quickly moving his short and sturdy legs, Qiu Fuxi pouted and whispered to Cui Yan beside him: "Isn't this a war merit for Lao Tzu?" Silly*"

Cui Yan was also very excited, and rubbed his hands together: "After this battle, our company will become the whole regiment, no, it is the first-class main company of the whole brigade, maybe it can be rewarded by the first and second orders."

As soon as the two men finished speaking, the platoons opened fire one after another. This time, not only the 38 big cover, but also the light and heavy machine guns joined the chorus, da, dada, dada, listening to the ears of Qiu Fuxi and Cui Yan, the gunfire is undoubtedly the most beautiful music in the world.

The two bazooka groups fired, and the rockets dragged a long ray of light and pounced on the little devil's tank and three armored vehicles, and four explosions passed through, and the devil's tank and armored car turned into four tons of scrap metal, and the little devils in the car naturally melted their flesh and blood into the scrap metal.

The Devil Squadron Leader followed the team with grenadiers and machine gun crews, and finally rushed into the town of Plum Blossoms. This guy thinks beautifully, and is ready to attack the station directly. Therefore, after storming the town of Plum Blossom, he ordered heavy machine guns and grenadiers to establish positions to cover the advance of the troops.

This little devil, how did he know that he was caught in the plum blossom array of the Eighth Route Army, and he was still dreaming of Qingqiu However, his dream did not last long, and the dense firepower of the Eighth Route Army's various firepower points quickly made him sober up, Amaterasu, it turned out that this was a dense group of dark castles

The leader of the devil squadron was indeed well-trained, and immediately reacted, ordering the squads to take cover alternately and retreat quickly

Unfortunately, he reacted too late. It was a dream for the infantry to enter the plum blossom formation and try to escape even though the tank and armored vehicle had already been destroyed. There is crossfire everywhere, not to mention the charging soldiers, you can't even crawl to the ground, the bullets are all eye-catching, and they are coming specifically at your forehead, chest, and back, can you escape death?

The 92-type heavy machine gun is singing, the crutch and crooked light machine gun are singing, the 38 big cover is singing, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are like a group of hunters, aiming at the wild boar that fell into the trap and practicing marksmanship, bang bang, bang bang, bang da, bang bang, the bullet shoots at the little devil, splashing blood flowers, the scene is like the cherry blossoms of Mount Fuji blooming brilliantly overnight, how beautiful and beautiful.

The little devils were in a desperate situation, which inspired the spirit of bushido, and some little devils took out grenades and threw them, and with the help of the cover of the dust and mist stirred up by the grenade explosion, they rushed to the dark fort of the Eighth Route Army, trying to blow up the firepower point of the Eighth Route Army with grenades.

If it is an ordinary defensive position, the devil's tactics are absolutely correct. Well-trained soldiers, with the help of dust and fog cover, tumbling and rolling, it is easy to touch the bunker, as long as the grenade is thrown along the perforation, this bunker firepower point is over. The Japanese army is one of the best-trained armies in the world, emphasizing the cultivation of soldiers with the spirit of bushido, and bringing the soldiers' personal bravery and combat skills to the extreme. It's a pity that the Japanese soldiers don't know what the plum blossom array is, and they don't know how powerful the triangle array is crossfired. Because when the devil soldier tried to blow up a hidden fortress firepower point, his back was sold to the Eighth Route Army shooter at the other corner of the triangle array, which was equivalent to exposing his weakest part, how could there be any reason for immortality?

At first, the leader of the devil squadron ordered grenadiers and heavy machine guns to set up positions, and now he no longer babbles. His grenadiers, machine gunners, and ammunition men were all sent back to the East by the bullets of the Eighth Route Army, and he was left alone holding a war knife and posing in a ridiculous pose, where he appeared.

This devil squadron leader also graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, has undergone strict military training, and has a strong actual command ability. Looking at the configuration of the various firepower points exposed by the firing on the position of the Eighth Route Army, a thought suddenly popped up in the mind of this little devil, isn't this the legendary Zhuge Liang Bagua Array? Unexpectedly, in the twentieth century, the Eighth Route Army would even use this legendary formation to arrange defensive positions, Chinese, too powerful

The Devil Squadron Leader didn't have time to sigh more, and a bullet got into his heart. With a thud, the Devil Squadron Leader fell backwards, and the command knife fell to the ground with a thud.

There are communication trenches connected to it, and the soldiers can safely search for the weapons and ammunition of the devils, so that the ammunition of the company is more abundant and the firepower is stronger.

The end of the devil's squadron fell into the eyes of the large forces behind.

An elite, fully manned squadron covered by tanks and armored vehicles disappears in the middle of a joke, which is also terrible. The captain of the devil brigade and the captain of the wing were all hairy, thinking that they had encountered a large force of the Eighth Route Army, and immediately called for aircraft and artillery support to raze the position of the company to the ground.

The real test begins.

The Japanese army was fighting in a large corps, with Jiaoji Road and the road from Dexian to Jinan as the central axis, and the five divisions and regiments marched in unison, and several large armies rolled in. Airplanes in the sky, tanks, armored vehicles, and locust-like infantry underground, waking puffs of dust and mist on the winter earth. The front line of the Lao Alkali River was full of gunfire and artillery, and the blocking troops of the Luxi Garrison Brigade and the New Sixth Brigade of the Eighth Route Army also opened fire on all fronts, making every effort to block the devils.

Although Qiu Fuxi's Meihua Town is powerful, it can't stand the huge number of devils, and they must retreat after fighting, otherwise, they may fall into the encirclement of devils, and they can't withdraw if they want to.

The devil artillery fired. These *** shells were very accurate, and one shell after another crossed the sky with a whistle, and smashed hard at Huangheya Station, and it didn't take long to blow up the box office at the station. Soon, the little devil's shells exploded one after another on the positions of the Eighth Route Army, blowing up big craters one after another.

Cui Yan raised his head from the trench, wiped a handful of soil from his face, spit out the soil in his mouth, and whispered to Qiu Fuxi: "Company commander, judging from the number of shells of the devil, this is a mountain artillery wing of the devil, thirty-six mountain artillery. We were facing a division of the devils, and just now it was only a tentative attack on the scale of their squadron. After a while, the plane of the little devil may also come. Hit it and withdraw quickly. Otherwise, if the devils deploy their forces, they will outflank us in a roundabout way, and we will fall into the sea of people of the little devils, and we will not be able to withdraw if we want to. ”

Qiu Fuxi also had a dusty face, held a telescope and observed the devil's army for a while, and replied: "It doesn't matter, this fight just now scared the little devils." They can't figure out what we are doing, and they probably think that the main force of our army is here. Let the fighters hide well, and when the imp planes bomb, their infantry will launch a massive charge, at least the size of a brigade. We beat them hard with fortifications and electric explosives, and then laid mines in the fortifications before retreating. ”

After five salvos of the little devil artillery, the devil plane arrived. First, they dropped bombs from high altitudes, and seeing that there was no ground fire on the Eighth Route Army's position to counterattack, the devil planes became bolder, and after circling for a while, they began to dive down and strafe with their airborne machine guns.
