Chapter 546: Cracking
Yang Xingguo was also very shocked when he suddenly saw that the Third Division had used the tactics of infantry and artillery coordination, which he had never had time to train, and at the same time knew that under the attack of this tactic of infantry and artillery coordination, the Japanese army of a brigade on the top of the mountain would definitely be defeated, and the only uncertainty was time.

Seeing that there was no longer a problem with the attack, Yang Xingguo immediately asked Zhao Zhigang: "Division Commander Zhao, how do you know this infantry artillery coordination tactic, and when did you start training?" ”
To Yang Xingguo's surprise, Zhao Zhigang showed a puzzled expression on his face.
Facing Yang Xingguo, he asked rhetorically: "What is infantry and artillery coordination, commander, why haven't I heard of it!" ”
"Isn't the current offensive tactic of the troops just infantry and artillery coordination? Don't you know? Yang Xingguo asked rhetorically with a frown.
Seeing Zhao Zhigang shaking his head and saying that he didn't know, Yang Xingguo continued to ask: "Then where did you learn this offensive method, and when did you start training!" ”
Zhao Zhigang immediately understood, and replied with a sudden understanding: "What you said is this, this is the fat training of the chief of staff, and I don't know the specific reason." I just felt that this would shorten the offensive distance and reduce the casualties of the troops, so I asked the chief of staff to promote it throughout the division. ”
"However, because the shelling error of field artillery and heavy artillery is too large, it is not very useful. And only then did it choose to approach the enemy positions with mountain artillery at the end, covering the infantry with close shelling! ”
"Hit it right by mistake!" This is the judgment made by Yang Xingguo after listening to the explanation.
After thinking about it, he analyzed to several subordinates around him: "The three divisions and one regiment are now using the simplest infantry artillery coordination. The purpose of infantry and artillery coordination is to shorten the infantry attack distance and reduce infantry casualties under the cover of artillery. ”
"The real infantry artillery is trained in coordination, and the infantry can follow fifty or sixty meters behind the point of impact of heavy artillery shells and attack with artillery fire. Wherever the artillery fire extended, the infantry attacked! ”
"Look at a regiment on the battlefield, as soon as the shelling of the mountain artillery battalion is over, a regiment can throw grenades up the hill without rushing."
"As a result, the Japanese troops defending the hill were again attacked by grenades before they could react from the shelling. He was being beaten by passive cars all the time, and he had no chance to shoot at all to block the attack of a regiment. ”
"If the mountain artillery is replaced by field artillery and heavy artillery, the attacking troops can advance the defensive line fifty to one hundred meters in front of the enemy......"
"From the time the Japanese reacted from the shelling to the time they entered the position and began to counterattack, it was absolutely necessary for a few seconds."
"In just a few seconds, we can directly kill thirty to sixty or seventy meters in front of the enemy."
"At this time, even if the Japanese army starts to counterattack, we can enter the opponent's position at the minimum cost."
"Of course, it can also be like the current regiment, after the heavy artillery bombardment, it will be bombarded with mountain artillery, and it will be directly advanced to thirty or forty meters in front of the formation, without giving the enemy any chance to react!"
Zhou Qiangsheng's eyes lit up and said: "Then if our Liaodong Army learns to coordinate with infantry and artillery, then won't our Liaodong Army be invincible in the attack?" ”
Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "Of course not, no matter what tactical tactics, there is a way to crack it, and infantry and artillery coordination is no exception." Now we are bullying the Japanese without artillery. If they had artillery to counterattack, the attack of a regiment would not have gone so smoothly! ”
"Of course, in addition to artillery, there are many ways to crack it that we don't know, which requires everyone to temporarily adapt to the battlefield!"
After thousands of grenades exploded on the top of the hill, a mass was successfully killed on the top of the mountain.
A large group of Japanese troops, except for more than 200 people who abandoned their positions and fled for their lives, the rest of the Japanese troops were all bombed into corpses.
For this expected takeover, Yang Xingguo ordered with satisfaction.
"The first regiment fought well, Division Commander Zhao, replace the second regiment, two hours, take another hill, and by the way, see how the third division's infantry artillery is trained in the end!"
If it had been placed in the past, the chief of staff would not have shown any mercy to the soldiers who had fled from the front line.
But now, in the face of more than 200 deserters, the chief of staff can't even start a fire.
After a long sigh, he ordered: "Organize the defeated troops into a squadron as a reserve, ready to fight at any time!" ”
As soon as the staff officer who received the order left, the commander of the Murakami Division, who had successfully retreated and joined the chief of staff, asked anxiously: "Chief of staff, the Liaodong Army will coordinate with infantry and artillery, and we don't have artillery, so we can't defend it to the death!" ”
The chief of staff nodded and replied: "Then let the artillery fire of the Liaodong Army be useless!" ”
Lieutenant General Murakami's eyes lit up and said: "Melee combat, melee combat with the Liaodong Army." That's how the Liaodong Army dealt with us in the first place! ”
The chief of staff thought about it and replied: "There is another advantage to fighting close combat, exchanging human lives for human lives can increase the casualties of the Liaodong Army." In the eyes of the Liaodong Army, now that we have become a turtle in an urn, they definitely don't want to waste too many troops on us! ”
"The best way to destroy us in this situation is to trap us here, as long as the Liaodong Army thinks that the casualties of attacking us are too great, then they will definitely use this method to besiege us without attacking!"
Lieutenant General Murakami understood at one point: "If this is the case, all of us can live to wait for the reinforcements sent by the commander-in-chief." When the time comes, we will be able to destroy the less than 30,000 Liaodong troops left around. ”
The chief of staff nodded in affirmation: "Definitely." In addition to the two divisions and two heavy artillery wings sent by the commander-in-chief, at least one of the three divisions in the Anshan direction will come! ”
"Our sixty or seventy thousand elites, or internal and external attacks, will definitely be able to destroy the Liaodong Army."
The Japanese army, which had a solution to the crisis in front of them, was not idle for the next two hours.
Since you want to learn to fight close combat in the Liaodong Army, you must learn it thoroughly.
On the hills closest to the Liaodong Army, after digging trenches for several hours, despite the fact that every Japanese soldier was tired, he still insisted on continuing to dig anti-artillery holes.
That's right, it's the anti-artillery hole.
The Liaodong Army was occupied by the Japanese on the positions, although most of the anti-artillery holes were blown up before retreating.
But if you want to find out why the Liaodong Army was able to survive the artillery fire, the Japanese army still found a lot of clues in the middle.
After some research, the Japanese army immediately knew that the Liaodong Army had escaped the shelling through the anti-artillery holes.
In front of him, the Japanese army had to follow the example and use anti-artillery holes to avoid the heavy artillery attack of the Liaodong Army. Then at the critical moment, he rushed out of the anti-artillery hole and killed the attacking troops of the Liaodong Army, exchanging human lives for human lives, and killing and wounding a large number of Liaodong Army.
The 3rd Division and 2nd Regiment, which planned to adopt the same style of play, were fooled as soon as they came up.
In the face of the 7,800 Japanese troops that suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, the nearly 2,000 soldiers of the Second Regiment who had already rushed up the hill would definitely not be able to withdraw any further.
After only a brief hesitation, the 2nd Regiment collided with the Japanese troops who were close at hand.
The only thing that made the nearly 2,000 elites of the Second Regiment happy was that even though they knew that they could easily rush up the hill, they strictly followed the regulations, and there was always one bullet in the chamber of the gun in the firing state.
The moment they saw the Japanese soldiers come out, they were shocked and subconsciously pulled the trigger of their rifles.
As a result, the seven or eight hundred Japanese troops who rushed out of the anti-artillery hole ended up fighting with the Liaodong Army with less than 500 people. The remaining more than 200 Japanese troops all died in the rapid fire attack in just a few seconds. (To be continued.) )
