Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 77 Revenge
The day after the robbery was the half-month period agreed upon by Gao Shenxing, He Keqi decided to organize a live firing.
In the past, this was unthinkable, and the guerrilla bullets were really more expensive than gold, so how could they be used for live ammunition shooting? But now it was very different, the night before yesterday, the guerrillas not only robbed the train with enough guns and ammunition to arm two and a half battalions, but also a large number of grenades, explosives and bullets.
He Keqi, Hu Zhijing, Liu Chang, and Yin Shangwen got up early in the morning and came to the drying field early.
However, Gao Shenxing was even earlier, and more than 100 guerrillas had already completed their usual training.
He Keqi's guerrillas were originally a water bandit active on the surface of the Yangtze River, with more than a dozen guns, but they were later subdued by Hu Zhijing single-handedly, and the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee gave them the name of the water guerrilla unit, which belonged to the company-level combat unit, and the leader of the water bandits, He Keqi, became the captain, and Hu Zhijing became the party representative.
However, at present, the reorganization of the New Fourth Army has begun, although the water guerrillas have not gone to southern Anhui, they are also in the reorganization, He Keqi will soon become the captain of the independent brigade in southern Jiangsu, and Hu Zhijing will also be the political commissar of the brigade, which is also the reason why Hu Zhijing is eager to recruit the seals, because the strength of the guerrillas is too thin
Looking at the queue in front of them, He Keqi and Hu Zhijing nodded secretly, they are worthy of being officers and students who graduated from the Army University, and they have a set of military training, and they have trained a group of fishermen and farmers to look like soldiers in half a month, at least they look like soldiers, but they don't know what the actual effect is.
Gao Shenxing trotted in front of He Keqi, stood upright, and then saluted He Keqi, and said loudly: "Report to the captain, the recruit company has been assembled, please give me a lecture." ”
"Let's get started." He Keqi straightened his chest, and after being the captain for so many years, he only felt a little today.
"Yes." Gao Shenxing trotted back to the front of the line, and shouted, "One row of horizontal shooting, two rows of preparations"
More than 40 guerrillas in the front row trotted into the firing position, raised their guns in a lying position and aimed at a row of humanoid targets 100 meters in front of them.
There were forty-eight fighters in a platoon, six of whom hit more than forty rings, two of whom ran the target, and all the rest of them had more than thirty rings.
After half a month of training, more than 100 guerrillas have basically mastered the essentials of shooting, and two soldiers with good qualifications have even shown the potential to grow into snipers.
He Keqi was overjoyed and said: "Great, now Lao Tzu is more confident." ”
Gao Shenxing poured cold water and said: "Captain He, I have to remind you that live shooting and actual combat are two different things, although Da Zhou and Xiao Sparrow can score a full score ring in live shooting, but in actual combat, they may not be able to hit the Japanese soldiers ten meters away, actual combat, in addition to testing the level of training, but also testing psychological quality"
The two guerrillas named by Gao Shenxing were full of anger, but they didn't dare to refute, nothing else, this half-month training made them scared, in their opinion, Gao Shenxing was a live bandit at all, a word is wrong, a move is not in place, you will immediately be punished for five kilometers of cross-country with weights, and you are not allowed to eat until you finish running.
However, Da Zhou and Xiao Sparrow soon found out, and Gao Shenxing really didn't talk nonsense.
A guerrilla from a sentry came back panting and reported that the Japanese were coming, at least one infantry squad, and that they had reached two blocks five miles away.
Little Japan's revenge came sooner than expected
It took him only one day to restore the process of the water guerrillas picking up the train, and then followed the clues left by the guerrillas to find Yangzhuang, where the guerrillas were stationed, and it was determined that the guerrillas stationed in Yangzhuang were responsible, and a Japanese squad immediately came to the door.
Although a wagon of munitions was looted and fell into the hands of the communist guerrillas, Aoki Taro did not take this small group of guerrillas seriously, a group of untrained mud legs, and even if they were equipped with firesticks, sending an infantry squad to attack was enough to sweep them out a dozen times.
Aoki Taro didn't know that there was a veteran of the national army among this group of mud legs that he despised, and he was also the kind of veteran of the "soldier king" level who could change the outcome of a skirmish with one person's liliang.
After discovering the Japanese army, He Keqi began to deploy for battle.
In Gao Shenxing's view, He Keqi's command level was still at the most basic stage, and compared with the grassroots officers of the national army who came from the Central Military Academy, he was simply useless; he neither dug trenches in advance on the periphery of the garrison, nor did he give very clear combat instructions to the platoons, but only let more than 100 people scatter and hide in the field.
He Keqi: What is this for? Let the squads and platoons scatter and fight for themselves?
At this time, the rice in the field has been harvested, and the cotton plants have withered, but with the crazy artemisia grass and withered cotton plants in the field, plus the woods and bamboo forests, it is not a problem to hide only one or two hundred people, Gao Shenxing is just a little worried, how can this battle be fought if the troops are so scattered?
However, Gao Shenxing soon appreciated the power of dispersed use of troops
The battle broke out suddenly, when the Japanese squad was marching in formation on the main road, a guerrilla suddenly fired a shot from the branch of a cypress tree on the side of the road, and the shot was the little sparrow, at that time he was really less than ten meters away from the Japanese army, but his hand shook at the moment of the fire, and the result was a shot crooked.
The Japanese army reacted quickly, and as soon as the gun rang out, they all fell down, and then dozens of rifles and ping-pong shots were fired at the tree, and the smooth and slippery cypress tree was full of bullet holes in an instant, but the little sparrow had already retracted into the tree hole between the trees, and went down the hollow tree hole to the tunnel, and then ran down the tunnel.
The battle was lively here, and two more guerrillas suddenly rushed out of the bamboo forest 200 meters away, and the Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground were shooting at the "horn" and "horn", but they also failed to hit the target, but once again attracted the attention of the Japanese troops, and the Japanese soldiers turned their guns one after another and shot at the two guerrillas.
When the two partisans saw this, they turned and ran.
The Japanese lieutenant who led the team was furious, drew his saber and led it forward, chasing after him
More than 50 Japanese soldiers scattered Cairo circle legs and chased into the small bamboo forest, only to find a hat thrown on the ground, a Japanese soldier curious to reach out and pick it up, as a result, the mechanism was shot to death by the bamboo crossbow laid by the guerrillas, this grandson is also wronged enough, did not let the guerrillas killed, but let the bamboo crossbow shoot to death.
Little Japan was feeling that there was nowhere to vent his anger, and suddenly there was another gunfire in front of him, or the sudden sound of a machine gun.
"Machine guns? The Japanese second lieutenant of the main force of the guerrillas suddenly had his eyes lit up, and he chased after him with more than 50 Japanese soldiers following the sound of gunfire.
Gao Shenxing hid with He Keqi and Yin Shangwen on a slope, and saw that the Japanese army was amused by the guerrillas with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, Gao Shenxing couldn't help but ask: "Captain He, where are you singing?" ”
He Keqi removed the dry tobacco pipe from his mouth and knocked it on the soles of his feet first, and then inserted it into his waist, and asked again: "Has the platoon commander Gao heard of the sparrow war?" ”
"Sparrow War?" Gao Shenxing said blankly, "I haven't heard of it." ”
He Keqi took out the box cannon from the holster and said, "What we use is sparrow warfare. ”
Gao Shenxing said: "How many little Japanese can be killed by this piecemeal fight?" How long is it going to be fought? ”
"Don't underestimate this piecemeal tactic." He Keqi said twice, and then said, "That's right, the piecemeal fighting of our guerrillas can only tickle little Japan, and the most haode result will be for them to return in vain, which I admit, but if you change to a combat-effective unit to fight, the result will be completely different." ”
Gao Shenxing didn't speak, but listened intently.
He Keqi said again: "That is, a month ago, a company of the 77L Regiment of the Eighth Route Army had more than 100 guns, in a mountainous area called Pingzhi County, Shanxi, in the face of 500 Japanese infantry plus a cavalry company. ”
"Is this ......," Gao Shenxing said dumbfounded, "is it possible?" ”
Yin Shangwen interjected: "This is true, the Central Daily has sent a newsletter. ”
Gao Shenxing felt that his concept of war was being ruthlessly subverted by these mud legs, and the two armies were not fighting positional warfare. He went to the Central Military Academy and the Army University, learned about fortification construction, learned about defense in depth, and learned about coordinated operations among all arms of the armed forces, but he never learned piecemeal fighting.
Gao Shenxing's mind was momentarily disorganized, but soon became clear again, and a voice suddenly sounded in his head: Hegel said that what exists is reasonable, and that this kind of piecemeal tactic will never appear for no reason, and that it may be really tested by war, and at least worth trying.
An idea quickly became clear in Gao Shenxing's mind.
"Captain He." Gao Shenxing turned his head to look at He Keqi and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to get rid of this Japanese army?" ”
"What are you talking about, to get rid of this Japanese army?" He Keqi was stunned and said, "Platoon Commander Gao, aren't you joking, I still know very well how many catties and taels our guerrillas have, if it is only a dozen little Japanese, we will eat it at a price, but this is a whole squad of more than 50 devils, and mortars, we still lack a good pair of teeth."
He Keqi really didn't want to annihilate this invading enemy, not because he didn't want to, but because he was beyond his ability.
Gao Shenxing said: "Captain He, or I have a way to help you get rid of this little Japan, the premise is that your sparrow battle has to revolve around me, and it has to be organized, not like now." ”
"Fight around you?" He Keqi's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice, "What is the way to play?" ”
Gao Shenxing said: "I am responsible for mobilizing Little Japan, and let your people set up ambushes along the way and shoot cold guns." ”
"You're alone?" He Keqi said in a deep voice, "Platoon Commander Gao, this is not a joke. ”
"Little Japan wants my life, and they still owe some ability." After saying that, Gao Shenxing turned back to the two guerrillas who were following He Keqi and said, "Give me all your bullets." "Those are two new recruits who have just enlisted in the army, Hanyang-made who has just been eliminated by the veteran team members, and the bullets are officially universal.
