Chapter Ninety-Three: The Good Defender Section 1 Counter-Charge
In the era of cold weapons, the key to winning a battle is that the armies of both sides fight face to face.
At that time, there were no long-range surface-to-surface missiles, nor long-range bombers, and if you wanted to win, you had to rely on real swords and guns to fight a battle.
During World War II, hot weapons can be said to have played a peak in human history, it is said that both sides are iron guys with sudden jet bullets, from tens of meters to hundreds of meters or even tens of thousands of meters of distance can kill you, this hand-to-hand combat bayonet should be extinct, it turns out that from Europe to Asia, from Africa to Oceania, which battlefield is not missing this white-edged bayonet battle!
The reason is very simple, the attacking side has to take the position, and as long as the defending side is still alive and wants to resist, then there has to be an offensive and defensive battle, as long as you don't turn the whole position upside down, the attacking soldiers have to face to face with the defending soldiers, and Zuihou has to rely on the bayonet on the rifle to solve the problem of who wins.
For example, when the soldiers on the defensive side aim at the attacker from the crosshairs, they can shoot at a distance of 100 meters, and they can shoot at the second target by turning the muzzle slightly, while at a distance of 40 meters, after shooting one, they need to turn the muzzle of the gun to shoot down the other, and the defender also has a lot of body parts to be exposed under the attacker's gun.
In the face of the Japanese army, which was accustomed to the tactics of crowds, the positions equipped with heavy machine guns and light machine guns were repeatedly broken through by the Japanese army, not to mention the Eighth Route Army, which was reluctant to shoot more bullets even with machine guns.
Kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred, in this offensive and defensive battle that starts at dusk. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army defending the front line of the mesa. Almost half of the losses were lost in the Japanese artillery fire and dense gunfire. After Yang Bangzi detonated the pre-buried powder tank, he transferred the second echelon that was on standby at the cottage gate.
As we said earlier, this Guojia Fort is not only a cottage built for refuge, but Mr. Guo's ancestors began to recruit people to build this cottage, which was built according to military needs.
In Mr. Guo's generation, he was even more concerned about picking up the village, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to purchase cement that was rare in that era to strengthen the walled walls and fortifications, among which the strongest ones were the circular fortifications of the platform and the thickened wall.
To look at the defense system of this cottage. It's not at all like an ordinary Chinese mountain village, it's simply a bastion of mountain integration!
The peaks on both sides are the commanding heights, which can control all the valleys, starting from the east mountain beam of the valley, there are two defensive positions just in front of the walled gate, the Ming Fort and the Hidden Fort built on the mountainside, Yang Bangzi has ordered to abandon it, this thing is still useful to prevent bandits or something, and it is a fixed target in front of the Japanese artillery fire.
The front-line defensive forces were placed at the front of the mesa and not much. With a platoon of soldiers and more than 20 Zhuang Ding, Yang Bangzi did not initially expect that the Japanese army would be able to be repulsed after the first attack. With such a large amount of blood, he was able to dispatch on all fronts, but after using the oil formation, the Japanese army's offensive slowed down, which gave him time to use the second move.
He took the black powder stored in the cottage, several large vats, drummed more than half, along the trench on the edge of the terrace, dug a dozen cannon holes, poured gunpowder, filled with broken stones or something, the largest cannon hole in the middle, filled a whole tank of gunpowder!
Yang Bangzi thought very clearly, the purpose is not to fight with the devil here, but to entangle the other party, maximize the consumption of the devil's life, drag them, drag them exhausted, and the troops on the outside line surround them, and this is the end of the end.
If most of the soldiers and Zhuang Ding of the cottage are sent to this platform, the devil will be dispatched from the nest, and it will take half a day to rush up, but in this case, once the platform is lost, the devil will basically take the village, and there will be no one to guard the village.
I cast a net to catch a fish, and the fish broke the net and ran away, so wouldn't it be a big loss!
Therefore, the oil array plus a fixed-point blast, and then counterattack a guy, Yang Stick judged that after such a three-plate axe, the sharpness of the little devil is almost the same!
In addition, the ring fortifications that blew up this platform did not want to be left for the little devils to use as a springboard for attacking the cottage, and razed to the ground, and the little devils had to be exposed to the guns on the other side of the wall as soon as they came up.
Seeing dozens of devils excitedly ascending the slope, Yang Bangzi gave an order, and more than a dozen soldiers pulled the grenades in the cannon hole together.
I didn't expect that the black powder used in artillery battles was so powerful! The ground shook and the mountains shook, and Yang Stick, who was hiding more than ten meters behind, was shaken, and the collapsed soil almost buried him alive!
The soldiers of the first-line defense took the lead in throwing grenades and shooting at the devils who swarmed on the hillside, and the soldiers and Zhuang Ding who were the second echelon on the wall, under the leadership of the old five sons, quickly passed through the gate and replenished the platform.
The devil's shells and machine gun bullets quickly returned fire, and the weakness of the lack of troops on the front line was revealed, more than 100 meters long, there were only about 20 people on the defense line, and the sparse gunfire was not at the same level as the devil's dense raindrop-like bullets!
As soon as the devil fired the cannon, the cannonball exploded on the platform with black smoke and miasma, and Yang Bangzi decided to launch a counter-charge at this time and beat the devil back!
This counter-charge, but don't believe it in movies and TV series, as soon as the trumpeter blows the trumpet, the leader stands up and shouts: "Comrades! Come on! "Then our army rushed down the mountain, the enemy is holding his head and running away, hehe, this is not a war, this is a child playing at home!
The real situation is to grasp the timing of the counter-charge, the attack is early, you are still within the range of other people's firepower, you will be beaten into a hornet's nest before you get to the front, the attack is late, everyone has rushed to your position, relying on the advantage of numbers can squeeze you to death!
Therefore, a good commander must be able to choose the right time, place and breakthrough point to launch a countercharge.
As soon as the explosion of the shells of the devils was over, regardless of the choking smoke and dust, they jumped to the edge of the platform, and saw that the devils had rushed to a place dozens of meters away from the position, and the machine guns they used to support the infantry were also behind at the moment, and they had not yet rushed up with the infantry.
The time has come! With a loud roar, the soldiers in the forward positions who survived threw grenades one after another, and rushed down the hillside by taking advantage of the panic caused by the explosion to the devils!
Yang Bangzi rushed down the mountain from the left flank with a few people, and on the right flank was a platoon commander leading seven or eight soldiers, leaving a Czech and three rifle shooters in the middle, and swept the ghosts rushing over in a wide range without interruption.
Don't think that counter-charge is to jump out of the trench and rush down with a bayonet, don't forget a common sense, it's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down! Why, when going up the mountain, the center of gravity of the person leans forward, and the legs are pedaling the mountain at an angle, which is relatively stable, and when going down the mountain, the center of gravity is also leaning forward, but the angle of the legs and the body is at a staggered angle, if you want to stabilize the body, you have to use the backward style.
What's more, the devils below are holding dense bayonets, you jump down, you can't hold your feet, and you go directly to the devil's bayonet!
Therefore, Yang Stick's counter-charge was from both wings, and then maneuvered laterally, cutting diagonally along the hillside into the devil's ranks, and suppressing the devils with frontal machine gun fire, to see from the air, it was the front of the attacking side, which was surrounded on three sides.
To fight a snake to fight seven inches, to fight the devil who climbs the hill to attack, you must hit his platoon, as long as the top is defeated, the back is like knocking down the dominoes, and they have to retreat.
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who jumped out of the trench with the smoke of the grenade explosion, leaned over and ran diagonally, while sending the remaining bullets in the chamber and the grenades in the satchel to the devil!
The devils who rushed to the front saw that they were almost at the edge of the terrace, and they were suddenly knocked down by machine gun bullets, and the little devils were really anxious! The one in front fell, and the one behind didn't blink, and then rushed up!
The machine gunner who controlled the Czech machine gun was also red-eyed, and simply stopped lying on his stomach, stood up, and suddenly ran out of a magazine with a machine gun. (To be continued......)
