Chapter Ninety-Five: Ambition to Win Section 1 Eyes on the spot
On the radio, Shimizu Osa and the air captain who carried out the bombing mission repeatedly checked the direction and coordinates of the bombing area and the target area, and laid aviation identification signs on the side of Higashiyama Liang to identify the ground troops for the planes.
After all, the chief of staff in Beiping was Qingshui's teacher, which was quite interesting, and he specially arranged a transport plane to carry a batch of ammunition, food, and medicine that was most needed. At the same time, Qing Shui was told that part of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade and the Fourth Independent Garrison were transferred from Laishui and Yi counties to form a task force and move closer to Qingshui's troops from the northeast.
Judging from the map, this task force set out from Laishui and Yixian, took the Jinghan Railway directly south to Baoding, and then went west to the Shijing base, from here either into Zhantuonan, or through the no-man's land to meet Qingshui from the east, no matter which road they take, it will take three days to reach at the earliest.
Judging from the current self-sustaining strength and combat effectiveness of the Suzuki detachment led by Shimizu, if the transport planes can smoothly airdrop supplies for a while, it will be no problem to hold on to itself for more than a week, and it is difficult to say that the combat effectiveness is not easy to say, and at present, the casualties of the soldiers account for 30 percent, and the units used for direct field battles have reached a loss rate of 40 percent, and according to the standards of the Japanese army, this can be regarded as being disabled and losing its combat effectiveness.
So during the period of waiting for the arrival of the air force, Shimizu also adjusted the troops, except for the artillery team, all the auxiliary units, including baggage, engineers, ammunition transportation, etc., even the communication team was also distributed with spears and grenades, and the command headquarters was also streamlined.
Wounded soldiers who can no longer fight. All moved to the ravine on the east side. Wounded soldiers who can also use rifles are assigned to protect and guard them. Doctors and health guards are also assigned to the various units and are no longer in separate teams.
Qing Shui also disrupted the formation of the brigade and squadron, he checked the terrain, this cottage is not big, one hundred and ten houses, seven or eight hundred soldiers are put into it at one time, it is equivalent to adding live targets to the other party.
Therefore, he disrupted all the front-line combat units that had been replenished with soldiers, and organized the two squads into a combat group. A squadron is two groups, commanded by a squad leader, and one squadron controls ten combat groups, under the unified command of the squadron leader.
Shimizu convened a meeting of officers above the squadron leader level, clearly underwent the combat mission, and after the air force bombarded it, two squadrons were put in at a time, and the squadron on the first line scattered the ten groups, allowing each group to choose its own offensive route, and the squad leader commanded the two groups to rely on each other. Raid houses.
The second squadron spread out a small group and marched in unison. Behind the 1st Squadron, clear the remnants of the enemy and protect the flanks and rear. At the same time, an order was given to the artillery team to transfer four Type 92 mountain guns and four mortars to accompany the second squadron and provide fire support.
He reminded the participants that after the attack began, they must not take it lightly, and especially pay attention to the suppression of firepower on the high ground on both sides, and he was worried that even the bombing of the air force would not necessarily be able to wipe out the Eighth Route on the northern and southern peaks, and he still admired the survivability of the Eighth Route.
The little devils are still quite experienced in street fighting, fighting with the national army, and there are also large corps defense battles in the field, not much, this kind of house-to-house city battle and small street battles in towns and towns, there are too many fights, from the three months of Songhu to the guerrilla warfare with the villages of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, the devils have been fighting for the past four years, and the accumulation of experience is indeed very rich.
From the deployment of Qing Shui, it can be seen that the Japanese army has experienced street fighting, and it is useless to fight street battles with large corps of swarms, and it is useless for soldiers to spread out, so it is best to use this kind of group of ten or seven or eight people, it is easy to move, and the machine guns and grenadiers carried can also provide suppressive fire at short distances.
As for the troops that follow behind, they can not only provide heavy fire support, but also prevent the enemy's roundabout combatants from sneaking up on the front line from the flank and rear.
The two-layer or multi-layer roll-in tactics are very skillful now used by the little devils, Qing Shui didn't talk much, and the officers who participated in the combat meeting all understood how to fight.
However, after Shimizu Dazuo confidently deployed to attack Jihua, he also ignored one point, the opponents in the opposite cottage are not good stubble!
In the past few years, the Eighth Route Army and the mass armed forces in various villages have long since become masters of street fighting, and unlike the street battles in big cities such as buildings and houses relying on reinforced concrete, the street battles fought by the Eighth Route Army in villages on the plains and in villages in the mountains were more tragic than those fought by the national troops in big cities.
From Songhu to Nanjing, from Tengxian to Wuhan, the Japanese army learned the tenacity of the Nationalist army to inflict a large number of casualties on the Japanese army by using street fighting under inferior equipment.
If the national army is to use regular defensive warfare with a clear eye, and fight to the death with the Japanese army according to the defensive warfare techniques and tactics taught by German instructors or simply Japanese instructors, then the Eighth Route is like the elves in this land, unexpectedly fighting and strangling to release the breath of death to the devils all the time.
Qing Shui Dazuo took out the old method of the devil, and the reply that Yang Bangzi gave him happened to be a good medicine used by the Eight Roads to deal with the devil's layer-by-layer combat method, simply put, it is called the combination of heaven and earth, inside and outside, you have me, stalking.
Heaven is to occupy the roof, the beams, the courtyard wall, these are relative to the commanding heights of the village, into the ground this is easy to understand, digging tunnels and holes, dark ditches and traffic trenches, drainage ditches to make good use of, that is a very haode firepower point.
I don't understand you well, in fact, it's all over the ambush, using hidden holes and the like to put the first line of devils over, or at the feet of the devils, so far away that you can even hear the other party's breathing, but you can't see it, and you will kill the other party as soon as you make a move.
Stalking this is talking about close combat, and only when he fights with the devil closely, the support fire behind him does not dare to fire, for fear of accidentally injuring his own people.
For example, the street battle at Stalingrad in 1942, which basically knocked out more than half of the morale and elite of the Third Reich.
The same is true for the Chinese battlefield, both sides of the Songhu War of Resistance are exhausted, and the little devil has cleaned up China's arrogance in three months from the beginning, and has been dragged away by our army. If Taierzhuang had not won the street battle of Teng County without General Wang Mingzhang, it is estimated that it would not have been a great victory.
For the Eighth Route Army and the units of the New Fourth Army fighting behind enemy lines, street fighting is even more commonplace, you say, which village in the enemy-occupied area has not fought street fighting, especially in the central Hebei region, which is full of plains, and the devils use roads and deep ditches and barbed wire to cut the base areas, and the Eighth Route relies on the villages to counterattack and sweep the devils everywhere, and almost no village can hide from them.
Shimizu wants to use the street fighting experience accumulated by the Japanese army to clean up the eight roads in the cottage, which is just right! Eight Lu also wants to clean him up with street fighting! This needle tip to Mai Mang, both sides are making the same determination, and their eyes are staring at this cottage with rafters, and a good show is destined to be staged here.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, a shout was heard in the air, and the Japanese planes taking off from Peiping were about to reach the target in 15 minutes.
Shimizu Dazuo ordered, all troops pay attention to concealment, wait for instructions, wait for the air force to bomb the air, the replenishment of supplies is airdropped, and the infantry will help transport the mountain artillery down the Dongshan Liang, and then launch an attack, this time don't be anxious, fight steadily, and strive to take it once!
At the same time, Comrade Yang Bangzi in the cottage also ordered that once the observation posts on the peaks on both sides found the shadow of the aircraft, they would immediately blow the suona or military horn and enter the cave! Doesn't Yang Bangzi have a special function that can hear the movement of the devil's plane? Why do you still use people to blow suona?
Don't mention it, mention this Yang stick and get on fire! Gone! The proud power of God is gone! (To be continued......)
