Xiao Zhenlei said: "This report on the use of offensive tactics in street fighting, I think that the relevant staff officers can polish it and send it to officers at all levels, so that they can learn and learn, and in the future, we will fight a lot of street battles with the enemy, but not just fight the Japanese, it is beneficial for officers and soldiers to learn more, and put my opinion to the General Staff!" In addition, let the General Staff send a person to tell him that if our army is the defender of the city, and the enemy army launches an attack on the city defended by our army, most of the cities defended by our army are made of bricks and wood, or even buildings made of stone and concrete, and it is completely possible to fight street battles with the enemy, and ask him if he has studied the defensive tactics of street fighting, and I will give him a task to study a complete set of urban street fighting defense tactics! ”

Yang Du agreed: "Yes, President!" ”

Fukuoka.

Daiwa Jiro wanted to fight street battles with the Chinese army, although the first day gave the Chinese army some losses, but the Chinese army quickly discovered the weakness of the Japanese army in the street fighting, first, the Japanese army was short of ammunition, which was the most deadly; second, the structure of the house is not conducive to street fighting on the defending side; Thirdly, the Japanese army did not have much research on street fighting, and Jiro Oniwa was also improvized, so there was not enough preparation, and the Japanese could not find some buildings with strong structures in the city as pillboxes, only the Fukuoka government building was built quite sturdy, which was built with brick and stone structures, and the Japanese deployed a squadron of troops to defend in this building, which guarded the passage to the Japanese headquarters, and only by taking it could they advance to the Japanese headquarters. Moreover, it served as a deterrent to several surrounding blocks, and now the four-story building became an obstacle to the advance of the Chinese army to the Japanese headquarters.

At the headquarters of the Chinese army outside the city, Zhu Peide was talking to Xu Shaozhen. Xu Shaozhen and his headquarters arrived here this morning.

Xu Shaozhen said to Zhu Peide: "I also read the report on the offensive tactics of urban street fighting written by the battalion commander named Jiang Bin under your command, and I also sent it to the General Staff and the president. Personally, I think this street fighting offensive tactic is still very good, and many aspects have been taken into account. Jiang Bin said in the end that he didn't build a city street fight with the Japanese, because there was no need here, just put a few fires, or send bombers to drop a few incendiary bombs and it would be over, I think this construction yì is good, it is very convenient, and why do you insist on fighting this street fight with Ting Erlang? ”

Xu Shaozhen is a veteran, and his seniority in the army is too deep, and Zhu Peide is extremely respectful. He bowed and said: "Sir, of course, I have also read the tactical inductions written by Jiang Bin, and I am the first to read them, and I also know his construction, and I still insist on fighting this street battle with Ting Erlang for several reasons: First, our army has no experience in street fighting, and the Japanese city houses are not conducive to them fighting street fighting, which is much easier for us." I think this is a good opportunity to train our army's street fighting tactics, and we can try how to use and match our existing weapons in this street fight to maximize the power of street fighting. Light machine guns, grenades and armored vehicles work together a lot in street fighting, and if you could swap armored vehicles for tanks, I think this combination would be more capable of attacking in urban street fighting.

Second. I believe that this opportunity can be used to train our soldiers in the basic combat skills of urban street fighting, and it is extremely important for each soldier in the squad to cooperate with each other in the basic combat unit. Skillful squads have a smaller casualty rate and more kills in battle. On the contrary, the casualties are greater and the kills are fewer. And we also found that if each squad of fighters could be equipped with the kind of automatic rifles used by two special forces and the flamethrowers of the mountain troops, I believe that the combat ability of the squad combat units in street battles would be greatly improved, but the above would certainly not agree to equip ordinary armies with such advanced weapons. In addition to this, we also found that if there are one or two sharpshooters in each squad, the lethality and deterrence of the enemy are much greater, he can kill the enemy troops at a long distance, he can kill the enemy's commander, he can kill the opponent's gunners and machine gunners, destroy the enemy's heavy firepower, and if the opponent also has sharpshooters, he can also suppress the enemy's sharpshooters! Therefore, this street battle is of great significance to our division, and I hope that the commander can support our division! ”

Xu Shaozhen listened to Zhu Peide's words and pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, your division will stay here for the time being to fight street battles with Otin Erro, the 88th Division will arrive tomorrow, and then the 88th Division will directly bypass Fukuoka and march to Sasebo, your division must send troops to encircle the Japanese army in Fukuoka Castle to prevent Otai Jiro from sending a part of his troops to attack the back of 88!" ”

Zhu Peide was overjoyed, got up and said, "Yes, thank you for your support!" ”

The fighting in the city has never stopped, since yesterday, the Japanese have launched a counterattack at night against the occupied area of the Chinese army during the day, but the Chinese army has long been prepared again, once it occupies a certain area, it will immediately deploy defenses, so as to prevent the Japanese army from sending a large number of troops to forcibly recapture, so every time the Japanese army launches a counterattack, but every time it is beaten back, it does not take advantage of the slightest advantage.

The advantage of the Chinese army is that the weapons are more advanced than the Japanese army, and the firepower output per unit time is large, although the number of people in each attack is only one squad, but each squad basically has a heavy machine gun, a light machine gun and a mortar, and some have two grenadiers, and each soldier is also equipped with five grenades, which is much more generous than the American army in World War II.

In a house less than 200 meters away from the Fukuoka Prefecture building occupied by the Japanese army, platoon commander Wang Dahai called a meeting of his squad leaders, and Xu Zhisong was also impressively listed. Xu Zhisong's squad lost three in the attack on the Japanese defense line outside the city, and several were wounded, the seriously wounded have been sent back to China for medical treatment and recuperation, and the injuries of the two lightly wounded are basically no major problem, and his squad has been replenished again.

Platoon commander Wang Dahai said: "The Fukuoka County Building one hundred and forty meters ahead, four stories high, almost the strongest building in the city, using masonry structure, using cement as a binder, very strong, the second and third rows have attacked it before, but they have all failed, and the losses are not small, 75 mountain artillery basically has nothing to do with it, and the Japanese also deployed two mountain guns on the first floor, the muzzle pressure is very low, you can self-aim and shell targets within nearly a few hundred meters, you can see, A damaged armored car on the street facing the building was destroyed by the Japanese 75 Mountain Gun, so it is basically impossible to use the armored car as a mobile cover! ”

"In front of it is a square with a length and width of more than a hundred meters, and downstairs in it, the Japanese dug a trench, on which sandbags and mud were piled up as bunkers, and the specific number of people was about a squad, and on its left and right sides were two main streets, no matter from that side, they would be under its firepower, and if the Japanese troops in the trenches in front of the building could not resist, they could retreat to the first floor of the building behind them to continue to resist, and even if our troops occupied the trenches, they could not use it as a trench, because it was very shallow, The back wall is less than fifty centimeters, and after jumping in, the body is completely exposed to the fire of the Japanese troops on the first floor, and the Japanese troops on the upper floor can shoot at us! ”

"On the second, third, and fourth floors, there are two heavy machine guns each, and the firepower is very strong, and there are several Japanese soldiers with good marksmanship in its building, who have already shot nine of our soldiers in the head, and the specific number should be no less than three, and it is not clear their exact location for the time being."

"There is a road in the middle of the square that divides the square into two, and this road also separates the two roads that sandwich the county building in the middle, the urban area to the north has been occupied by our army, and the urban area to the south is still under the control of the Japanese army, and we don't know how many Japanese troops there are on both sides! After the defeat of the second platoon and the third platoon, the company commander handed over the figure who took it to our platoon, and now let's talk about it, is there any way to take it? ”

Several squad leaders used their brains after listening to the words of the platoon commander Wang Dahai, and one of the squad leaders pinched his chin and said: "It is indeed extremely dangerous to attack from the front, the length of this square is more than 100 meters, and there is no cover to borrow and hide at this distance of 100 meters, and the opponent has at least six heavy machine guns, so attacking from the front is almost an act of looking for death!" ”

The second squad leader said: "If you want to attack from both sides, you must first clear out the Japanese troops in the blocks south of this road, even if you start an operation, you must also carry out from these two roads, our army will still be exposed to the side fire of the other side, Japan will be in a triangular defense system, the main defense force is in the middle of the rear position, that is, this county building, on both sides are secondary defenses, they can cover each other, if we attack any side, we will be hit by three-way fire!" ”

The platoon commander nodded and said, "Yes, this is the power of the Japanese!" ”

At this time, Xu Zhisong said: "I think the most powerful defense of the Japanese this time is not this, but the two artillery pieces on the first floor of the opposite county building, if we can knock them out, we can borrow the armored car as a mobile fortress to attack!" I also think that both we and the Japanese have overlooked the fact that offensive battles are not limited to outdoor battles, and that we can take advantage of that."

The squad leader rolled his eyes and said, "Old Xu, you don't have a backache when you speak, of course we know the power of those two artillery, but what can we do to destroy them?" The Japanese hid it on the first floor, and there were soldiers in front of it in the trenches, and the second and third platoons had already fought once, didn't they think about getting rid of those two guns? I must have thought of any good way! Also, what do you mean that both we and the Japanese have overlooked the fact that the fighting is not limited to the outdoors? (To be continued......)
