The squadron leader and the team headquarters command heavy machine guns and mortars to provide fire support at the foot of the mountain, and a squad is scattered within 30 to 50 meters in front of the squadron headquarters to guard and protect the squadron headquarters and heavy machine guns.

The two squads were divided into three tiers, with a skirmish line of about 20 men at the front, a tactical cluster composed of a light machine gun support group and three formed squads in the middle, and the squad at the back was the second echelon, which was the main assault force to complete the entire offensive mission.

At the beginning of the battle, this squad serving as the first echelon had already lost nearly one-third of its strength in the front line of the Eighth Route Army's position, which began from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, at a distance of more than 400 meters, and the soldiers on the skirmish line were replenished once when they marched to 100 meters.

Less than two minutes after the white-knuckle battle began, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers on the skirmish line were all wiped out by bullets and bayonets on the hillside without exception, and half of the light machine gun support group was wiped out by grenades and rifles, and half of them dropped their damaged light machine guns and retreated.

The Japanese devil is not made of steel and iron, the white bayonet suddenly came out of the smoke of the grenade explosion, who is not afraid to see it, just got up to stab it, the bullet flew behind the eight roads, the target head is also extremely high, said that the nose is not with the eyes, not to mention lying on the ground to avoid the explosion has not seen the devil who rushed down from the eight roads, and was directly nailed to the ground by the bayonet!

The distance between the second echelon and the first echelon of the devil is more than 20 meters. The smoke hasn't cleared yet. Screams and muffled grunts erupted. They all understood that it was the Eighth Route that rushed down, and they were ready to return fire on the spot, but their own people retreated first, and then the machine gun bullets swept over from the side like splashing water, and the wooden handle grenade of the Eighth Route that annoyed the Japanese army the most!

At this time, the soldiers of the teaching brigade who rushed down from the position, after attacking the first-line soldiers of the devil in a straight formation, began the first transformation, from a straight line to a bowl bottom type. The impact speed of the two squads in the middle slowed down, and the squads on the two wings increased their speed, like two outstretched arms, and went around the sides of the devil.

The machine gun shooters of the second echelon of the devils were just about to adjust the firing range, and before the muzzle of the machine guns had turned around, the bullets suddenly and densely swept down from the slope, and the machine guns of the devils were suppressed in the side of the hills, and they had already rushed to the middle of the charging team, and the machine gunners of the eighth road were leaning against the hillside with their backs to the Czech light machine guns. Just hit the center of the devil's cluster, and here is usually the location of the devil's commander and machine gun!

Machine guns cannot be loaded with bayonets. However, in white-knuckle combat, the flexible use of machine guns can often determine the outcome of the entire white-knuckle battle, and it is often a magic weapon for inferior forces to defeat the opponent with a numerical advantage through white-knuckle combat!

And the machine gun and machine gunner, whether it is the enemy or the enemy, are the most concerned targets on the battlefield, and they are the tactical targets that both the enemy and the enemy want to eliminate the most, a few minutes ago, the side fire of this machine gun only hit two shuttles and was suppressed by the Japanese firepower and could no longer shoot, if the machine gun was placed on the front line at the beginning of the white-knuckle battle, it was purely to provide a target for the devil!

Only after the initial white-knuckle battle killed the Japanese troops on the front line, when attacking the tactical cluster behind the devil, the firepower provided by the machine gun can be used to the greatest effect, and the temporary machine gun firing point of the devil can be suddenly violently suppressed, so that they can not pose a fatal threat to the approaching soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, so as to cover the counter-assault and quickly break into the second echelon of the devil!

Someone should say, is the white-knuckle battle of the Eighth Road so powerful? There are a lot of war history records, aren't they all withdrawn as soon as they come into contact with the devil, and besides, isn't this kind of white-knuckle warfare of positional warfare not advocated?

Looking at the historical truth, don't take it out of context, in the combat mode of the large corps of the devil's air-ground integration and the combination of infantry and artillery, if the Eighth Route Army, which has almost no heavy weapons, goes to fight positional warfare and white-knuckle warfare with the devils everywhere, I am afraid that the 30,000 or so people in the early stage will be reimbursed if they can't even fight a big battle!

Therefore, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, how to survive behind enemy lines, the development of arms and the establishment of political power is the first, white-knuckle warfare mostly occurs in our ambush of the Japanese army, short-distance charge, hit a few shots to the devil's side, this kind of white-knuckle combat is actually a fighting assassination between infantry, from the existing combat records, this kind of stabbing fighting, the difference between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army is not obvious, this is thanks to the actual combat experience of the Eighth Route Army adapted by the Red Army for many years, the Red Army with a lack of guns and ammunition is often close to the battle hand-to-hand combat to defeat the opponent.

Looking at the many examples of battles that emerged in the anti-sweep, such as the five heroes of Langya Mountain, the twenty-eight warriors of Ma'anshan, the battle of Songzhuang, etc., the Japanese army with extremely strong combat effectiveness still had to suffer the loss of white-knuckle warfare in the face of the Eighth Route Army, which was smaller than itself.

Especially in the second half of '43, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army itself dropped greatly, while the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army began to show an upward trend in '43 after a difficult period of 41 and 42 years.

In recent years, the arguments that have been set off to belittle the Eighth Route are, first, based on the Japanese army's war history records, emphasizing that the achievements of the Eighth Route did not play a role in the war of resistance, and second, it is fashionable to raise the national army and belittle the Eighth Route, and it is nothing more than fun to catch up.

And most of these fashionable people haven't even read the infantry drill of the Japanese army, and they don't even know what the training subjects of the Eighth Route Army are. How many chances does a devil with a cannon plane have to give you eight ways to fight in a white-knuckle battle?

The real situation is actually this white-knuckle warfare, which is used as a tactic in the Eighth Route Army, and is a subject for training soldiers, not simply training in hand-to-hand combat, but training tactics in the use of the environment, timing, projection of troops, firepower coordination, and so on, which must be coordinated and participated in by commanders and ordinary soldiers, and is a very effective tactic for dealing with the Japanese army's field operations.

Under a tactical command, a few people or thousands of people have to respond to the battlefield through a very complex transformation from mind to body, and a very small mistake can turn into a huge disaster.

For example, watching the news of military exercises, the announcer said it, and the picture was also played, ten thousand cannons were fired, and the iron armor was rolling, so it looked good, it looked good! But when the car is moving, how many commands are there to control? How long does it take to train to execute the order? Who has studied this?

For example, why did the Japanese attack the eight-way position on the hillside in a three-echelon formation, and their machine gun support fire was what As for the center of the formation, after the troops on the first line were defeated, why did they flee to both flanks, instead of turning around and running at will?

War is definitely one of the most complex sciences of mankind! It's not imagination and fabrication that can be interpreted, speaking of which, I think of the author who put more than a hundred heavy machine guns at the forefront of the entire defense line in the article, and the author who used iron plates to bounce back the shells and bombs of the little devils, they should have been born decades earlier, and they should have fought with the little devils with bayonets.

It's far away, and then we talk about the white-knuckle battle of the teaching brigade, the Czech light machine gun from a position of 30 degrees to the south against the two light machine guns of the Japanese army in a temporary position, and the hands do not stop firing two magazines in one breath, this kung fu, the soldiers in front of the two wings have already taken over with the soldiers on the two wings of the devil! At the same time, the fighters at the bottom of the entire offensive line took advantage of the opportunity of machine gun fire to go down to a distance of more than ten meters in the center of the second echelon of the devils, and the grenades in the second row were ready!
