Chapter 213: The Difficulty of the Arrow and Stone Section 4 Justifying the White-Knuckle Battle

White-knuckle combat is a science, but also a craft, not an instinct that you are born with, and it is not that you have not touched the barrel of the gun and opened it to instantly fill up the combat worthy skills.

It's been an early sortie, the devils are still at the foot of the mountain, the bayonets haven't been aligned yet, and you've lost the firepower of your machine-gun rifle grenadiers, so what's the point? The attack is late, the devil jumps into the forward trench as soon as he jumps into the front trench, the white-knuckle battle becomes hand-to-hand combat in the narrow trench, and individual combat has become the main skill, and the devil's second-line troops and support troops will be continuously replenished, and the superiority in numbers and weapons and equipment cannot be defeated by the courage of the soldiers alone.

Therefore, the moment of attack in white-knuckle warfare is very important, neither early nor late, it depends on the experience and courage of the commander, the distance of 30 meters to 50 meters is the best time to attack, use grenades and machine guns to disrupt the formation of the attacking devils, and suddenly launch a counter-assault, this distance can rush to the devils in ten seconds at most, their machine guns and other supporting firepower will not play a role, hand-to-hand combat, white-bladed together, fighting is assassination fighting and courage, once the front devil is defeated and retreated, The entire offensive formation was completely disrupted.

In fact, under the coverage of the enemy's superior firepower, the simple construction of the position could not withstand the bombardment of many shells, and the devils launched a counterattack only when they were close enough to fight white-knuckle battles with grenades and bayonets, so as to avoid losing more vitality under the fire of the devils, after all, in the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War, the assassination and fighting skills of the Eighth Route and the devils were already comparable. So it's a very practical tactic to get closer!

Dozens of grenades plus side-fired machine-gun fire. All of a sudden, the formation of the devils who rushed to the front of the mountainside position was instantly dispersed. However, after all, the devil was a so-called special operations unit that had been trained for a long time, and although he was a little flustered after being violently counterattacked, he did not give up the attack, and the fire support composed of machine guns and grenadiers that followed up immediately turned the muzzle and muzzle of the gun to the valley on the north side.

Bullets and shrapnel from the explosion sent smoke and sand flying in the valley in an instant. Fortunately, the machine gun position was blocked by a rock wall, and most of the bullets and projectiles fired were blocked by the rocks, but once the view was obscured, the machine gunners could no longer hold fire. He and the co-shooter, the cat bent down and held the machine gun to the center of the position.

As soon as the devils lying on the ground lost the threat of side-firing machine gun fire, they just got up and were about to rush through the last twenty or thirty meters, when another row of grenades flew down, and more than 70 devils immediately lay down on the spot with fast movements, and those who moved slowly and wanted to find cover were blown away by the grenades that exploded under their feet!

There are no military horns, horns, and whistles, and the commander in the kind of film and television drama jumps on the ground and wakes his arms. Then in the loud trumpet, the soldiers roared and rushed down, which is artistic processing. What's the trumpet, are you going to charge the devils under the high speed, you aim your machine guns and rifles?

The real situation is that the row of grenades thrown out, there is no need to greet and there is a tacit understanding in advance, and the explosion is the military horn! As soon as the grenade sounded, more than 30 soldiers of the first detachment of the teaching brigade jumped out of the trench almost simultaneously with bayonets in their hands and waded down the hill diagonally!

Different from TV dramas and movies, it is a show that swarms in the camera and looks unique, white-knuckle battle is not a melee or a chaotic battle, let alone a show, strictly speaking, it is a life-threatening tactic for defenders to take the initiative to attack and seek defeat into victory when they are at a disadvantage.

If you look closely, there are actually five tactical groups in a line, and each squad is a semicircle composed of fighters about one meter to one meter and a half meters apart, and two to three fighters are groups covering and cooperating with each other.

This spacing ensured that there were two or three bayonets at each point when rushing to a rifle-length combat position with the enemy, that the top bayonets were protected by others behind and on the flanks, and that the flanks could be used on the front of each squad, and that this formation could crush the enemy's first line of soldiers in a very short time when the number was equal. If there is no superiority in numbers, this formation will immediately deform, the wings will shrink, the middle will be strengthened, and it will become a wedge, attacking the weak points of the enemy's battle line, crushing a little and scattering the whole line!

It is also very important that this formation is not only for bayonet fighting, but also for retaining the maximum firepower advantage in the smallest bomb area! No one said you can't shoot in a white-knuckle fight! It's not the era of cold weapons, it's not just the last fight without bullets, it's an idiot if you don't use bullets!

Someone also said, didn't it say that the Japanese army's infantry drill code stipulates that the bullet in the chamber of the gun should be withdrawn before stabbing? This is pure nonsense! For this matter, many people have taken great pains to analyze the characteristics of the guns, the battlefield environment, etc., for a long time, in fact, the Japanese troops have never stipulated that the bullets must be withdrawn before the stab!

Regarding the white-knuckle charge battle in the Japanese infantry drill code, it is specifically stipulated in the "Assault" chapter of Chapter 2, Section 4 of Part 1, and the original text is as follows:

The first part of the coaches, the second chapter, the fourth quarter, the sudden slamming

The 68th Assault は兵の Action in the Special に Tight なり兵は、I が白兵のsuperior を信じbrave Fight Bodyを挺して Break into the enemyを圧倒annihiation すべし。 苟も、commander 若しくは戦友に後れて突入するが如きは深く戒めざるべからず兵はenemyに近接し突撃の机近づくに至れば、自ら着剣す

第69撃を為さしむるには左の号令を下す

「突撃ニ入メ」

「駈歩前へ」の要ledに依り発進し、suit歩度をstretchばし、「突ッ込メ」の号令にて喊声を発し勐烈果康に突进し格闘す。 之が为突入の略々前、铳を构う突撃を発起せば、enemyの射撃、手弾、poison smoke、etcに会するも断乎突进すべし

The 70th soldier、Sudden 撃のessentials を会得せば、Various の conditions、Terrain に於いて周到なる教育を行う。 此の际、突撃及び射撃を重新互用する操作、手弾の投投に连繋して行う突撃、装面して行う突撃等に線熟せしむるを要す

Where did this rule come from? Instead, it is about the tactical essentials of combining shooting and throwing grenades with stabbing when fighting stabs.

Look further back, the rules for detachment battles are written

The 130th division captain は、自ら好机を発看するか、或は突撃の命令あるときは、直ちに突撃の号令を下し、先先头に立ち、全分Teamを挙げて勐烈果康に突入すべし

时として、軽机関铳をして一时我が突撃を妨害する敌を射撃せしむ。 此のoccasionsに於いては、軽机関铳は机を失せず追及すべし

掷弾筒の射弾集中の効果を利用し突撃するoccasionsに於いては、分Teamは勉めて前方に位置を占め、掷弾分teamと协调し、其の最终弾と共に一挙に突入す

There are still no rules for the return of ammunition, and for the detachment level, the cover of light machine guns and grenadiers on the sides and in the rear is also emphasized.

That's why movies and TV series kill people! In peacetime training, in the basic stabbing combat training, the cooperation of two people, three people, squads, and platoons must also be emphasized, including the level of force use, firepower configuration, etc., which are all the experience accumulated in more than ten years of combat and the experience fed with human blood!

When the instructor brigade rushed down with the explosion of the grenade, a small number of Japanese soldiers immediately noticed that the eight roads on the mountain had rushed down! At this time, the formation of the Japanese army has been disrupted, the commander of the squadron is blocked by smoke and cannot see the situation in front, dozens of meters wide on the front of the attack, the grenade and the side-fire machine gun fire just now also tore the entire offensive system, the Japanese soldiers on the front line just straightened up and wanted to resist, either hit by a rifle bullet, or were poked by a few bayonets and rolled down!
