Chapter 91: The Decisive Battle of Huinan (2) (Subscription Requested)
Some of Qian Yao's four regiments were originally Huinan soldiers, and these people knew what kind of battle they would face after entering the county seat, but they were not afraid, they were really not afraid. This is also the reason why Weishenme Yang Xiaolin must let Akiyama Haogu die on his turf and die at the hands of the volunteers.
This battle was fought by Weishenme? These soldiers knew that the cause of the war was because of the thirty-three brothers who died on Juzi Street! Yang Jiang always went to fight Akiyama Haogu for the sake of thirty-three brothers, and insisted on leaving this guy here forever, which was considered impulsive and irrational behavior by many people. But as ordinary soldiers like those thirty-three brothers, these warriors didn't think that way in their hearts.
Like Israel in the twenty-first century, isn't it stupid to exchange a thousand prisoners of war from the opposing side for one of its own soldiers? Is it impulsive to start a war for the sake of a soldier caught by the opposing side to the point of killing thousands of people?
Sometimes impulsiveness can be cohesive!
From its establishment to the present, the Fourth Regiment, like the Fifth Regiment, has basically not fought any outstanding battles, but this does not mean that the Fourth Regiment is inferior to the First Regiment and the Third Regiment. After each battle, the experience of the battle was shared by everyone, and Qian Yao fully absorbed the experience and lessons of the first battle of Houma Town in the tactical arrangement of Huinan this time.
The role of the tunnel in the battle of Houma Town was developed by them to the greatest extent, the tunnel is not used to defend, its most haode advantage is that it can effectively preserve its own forces under the attack of the enemy's fierce artillery fire, dodge the opponent's artillery fire to cause damage to their second echelon, and continuously invest troops and supplies for the troops fighting in the front in the melee.
In addition, those very sturdy houses could not be used to hold on, and the brick structure could not withstand the enemy's artillery bombardment. In Houma Town, Lao Maozi's heavy artillery razed the entire Houma Town to the ground, and the volunteers learned that no matter how strong the houses were, they could not compare to those bunkers, trenches, and houses. It was just a false target they used to attract fire, in order to secure the trenches around the house.
Trenches were also used in street fighting, which was truly a unique example of warfare. Not only does it have that kind of overall trench, but the role of individual trenches also reflects a very big advantage in Houma Town, and of course Qian Yao has to use it.
It can be said that their street fighting is completely different from the tactical street fighting in Western countries. Western countries mainly use the buildings on both sides of the street to build fortifications, and that's because of their sturdy high-rise buildings!
In Huinan, they can't use their methods, and even Yang Xiaolin doesn't know if these local methods of the volunteers can play a role in street fighting, but the soldiers think they can. After they entered Huinan, they began to dig a ditch desperately.
The Japanese didn't give them much time, the fortifications were not fully done, and Aso Nao came with one of his wings to kill with great vigour.
He said to Naogami Matsubara before leaving. He was going to teach Qian Yao again, he had taught this Chinese bandit how to fight bayonets, and now he was going to teach Qian Yao how to fight. For the student under his own who didn't even hold a gun in a correct posture, Instructor Aso really didn't pay attention to it.
To Aso's surprise, Qian Yao was obviously a very qualified student. He deeply remembered what Aso Nao taught him at the beginning, Aso said that no matter how fierce the enemy in front of him looked, he must pierce the bayonet into his body, and he must not retreat, and pierce it bravely! The best time is when the opponent has just stabbed with all his might. It's not time to retract yet.
Qian Yao apparently fully understood what Aso meant during the battle, and when Aso launched the first round of charges against Huinan, Qian Yao led a battalion of troops to fight a counter-charge while the attacking Japanese brigade was retreating. He bravely stabbed the Aso instructor who taught him how to hold a gun with a bayonet, and cooperated with the fierce artillery fire of the volunteers in the city, not only inflicting heavy losses on the attacking Japanese brigade, but even beating the Aso instructor's defense line back one after another! …,
If it hadn't been for the arrival of Nakami Matsubara with a large army, Aso Nao would probably have been routed by Qian Yao's charge. The first contact between the two sides caused the Japanese army to lose more than 200 men, but Naokami Matsubara was not much surprised. Looking at the embarrassed Nao Aso, he smiled: "Aso-kun." Your students are outstanding, aren't they? ”
Aso Nao was very frustrated: "Brigade commander, it's the incompetence of his subordinates, please punish the brigade commander!" ”
Naokami Matsubara picked up his binoculars and glanced at the Huinan county town in front of him: "It's not that you are incompetent, it's that the people who beat the ghosts are indeed very strong, you must know that they blocked the attack of the Russians with 60,000 troops in Houma Town not long ago, but we are not Russians!" Aso-kun, the battle has not yet begun, and when I have arranged the artillery positions, you will rush again, and this time we will let them know the combat effectiveness of our Imperial Japanese Army! ”
Nao Aso immediately bowed: "Hayi! ”
Naogami Matsubara thought that the battle had not yet begun, but the two sides had indeed exchanged fire, and his attack did not mean to be tentative at all, and his attack was to bombard Huinan County with heavy artillery fire!
A brigade of the Japanese army was equipped with about 40 guns, of which about five or six were heavy artillery. And the fourth regiment has a total of thirty Russian-made 76 mm guns, although there are a lot of conscienceless guns, but the range of those guys is too short, although Qian Yao is carrying Yang Xiaolin's second-generation conscienceless cannon, the firing range has more than doubled than before, and it is only 500 meters! Simply did not play any role in artillery battles.
The difference in the quality and quantity of artillery between the two sides is very obvious, and compared with the Japanese artillery, the quality of the artillery of the Volunteer Army is also too immature. This point was learned in the battle of Houma Town, and there was also experience in the siege and annihilation of Akiyama Yokoku.
Summing up the lessons and experience, the artillery of the Volunteers now has their own set of combat strategies, which are also very different from the traditional artillery warfare in various countries.
When the enemy was bombarded, their artillery fire rarely spoke. Thirty artillery pieces were scattered in Huinan County, and the number of artillery fire and regional targets was unified in advance, and all the artillery guns were fired at one target when they needed to be hit, and the firepower was concentrated as much as possible in the case of dispersed firearms.
This style of play may be a little less lethal. But there was a slight advantage that the Japanese artillery would not find the artillery positions of the Volunteers, because they did not have artillery positions at all. After a round, all guns immediately change positions to avoid being destroyed by the opponent's fire.
In terms of the use of artillery, they are also different from the troops of other countries, and the purpose of the use of artillery in other countries is mainly to destroy targets. And the artillery of the Volunteers was more to assist the infantry in the defense and attack.
There is no way to do this, they can't expect to destroy any targets with their firepower, and they can't beat them in an artillery duel. Honestly shrink up and do what you can.
Naokami Matsubara set his sights on the south gate, and when the heavy guns hit the city wall with a dozen shells, it smashed the city wall as if it were crumbling.
Shi Xiaowu is now squatting under the base of the city wall. With a rifle in his hand, his eyes were fixed on a tiled house not far away that had just been hit by a cannonball, and those two tiled houses were his home, and they were also the places where their squad would stick this time.
I was very lucky to be able to fight in my own home during the war, but it was not a good feeling to see half of the walls of my house blown off by Japanese artillery. A broken brick and tile from the top of the city wall flew over his head. Some of the bricks and tiles on his body were very painful, and some of them had turned to powder. Only by being there can you feel the powerful destructive power of war. …,
Shi Xiaowu had just joined the Volunteer Army when he expanded his recruitment, and he never thought that the stone would be blown to pieces like this, and it was almost like sorghum noodles in his hand. Just now he was showing off the sturdiness of his house with his brothers. But now it looks like the house is not a house, and from my own point of view, there are only four walls that seem to be pushed by a push.
He was a little scared, if this shell fell on him, what would become of him? He was still a little angry, his ancestors had lived by making tombstones for three generations in Huinan County. I left him these tiled houses, but now they are gone, and there is nothing!
He was also a little nervous. The hands held the handle of the gun, as if shaking slightly.
"Go to the walls!"
The sound of little Japanese artillery fire was just a little weaker, Shi Xiaowu heard someone shouting, and then the squad leader Tian Dayong stood up with a hula: "Brothers, go on!" ”
Although his legs were a little trembling, Shi Xiaowu still ran to the wall from below with everyone. Fifteen brethren in one class, two riflemen. One sharpshooter, four machine gunners, two demomen, three stormtroopers, none of these Shi Xiaowu, he belonged to one of the remaining three, in the words of the platoon commander to them, the three of them were the most important people in the class, and where they were needed, they had to fill the vacancies.
Shi Xiaowu, who went to the battlefield for the first time, felt that he was important, really, very important!
The machine gunner asked him to quickly bring the bullets, and after the bullets arrived, the demoman asked him to help unscrew the lids of a few grenades and put them aside, and the sharpshooter who was the best in the squad besides the platoon commander asked Shi Xiaowu to fill his kettle with some hot water.
Anyway, it seems that the whole class really needs him very much.
This gave Shi Xiaowu a sense of accomplishment. He quickly brought the bullets, unscrewed the grenades, got a jug of boiling water for the sharpshooter, and then he stretched his head out to see where the Japanese had rushed.
The head had just poked up a little, and Sun Youwen, the sharpshooter of their class, grabbed him: "What are you doing!" Look for death! ”
Shi Xiaowu was a little stunned: "No, I'll help you see if the Japanese are here." ”
Sun Youwen smiled: "You don't need to look, you will know when they come." ”
"And what else do I have to do now?"
"Squat for me here, don't move!"
Shi Xiaowu looked at Sun Youwen, is it also a very important position to squat here? But since Sun Youwen said so, let's squat myself.
Soon he knew that Sun Youwen was right, and he really didn't need to look if the enemy was coming, because as the enemy approached, the bricks of the city wall were crackling with bullets, and Shi Xiaowu subconsciously shrank his body down a little, and this action was praised by Sun Youwen: "Hey, that's right." Little five, let me tell you, be brave when you should be brave on the battlefield, and ask for a grandson when you should be a grandson, and now the little Japanese gun is like this, and if you show your head, you are looking for death! ”
