Chapter 9: Camouflage Tactics
According to the three BIEDONG team members, there is currently a detachment of the BIEDONG team stationed in Xingguo County, although there are no heavy weapons, they have all undergone strict screening and training, and the light equipment is the first class in the country, and the combat effectiveness is absolutely not to be underestimated, and even an ordinary security regiment is not their opponent, among which the so-called plainclothes district team is particularly powerful, and all of them are sharpshooters who have no bullets within 100 meters. What's more, there is also a security brigade stationed in the county, plus the police in the city, with a total strength of more than 4,000 people, which made Hu Weidong, who originally did not have much hope, completely lose his mind of sneaking into the county seat
As for the local militia group, that is, the so-called return to the hometown regiment by the masses in the Soviet area, the strength is uneven, and there is a big difference in the strength of the troops, as little as twenty or thirty people, as many as a few hundred, or even thousands of people, Xingguo County does not have a single militia group with a strong shili, but as the so-called gathering sand into a tower, the total number of people is estimated that there should be two or three thousand people in the three biedong members, among which the stronger militia groups, most of them were turned into mine guards on the spot after their masters seized those mines and pits, and it is important to kill the Red Army to take revenge. Mining to make money is more important
Among those mine protection teams, there are fifty or sixty people at least, and generally speaking, whether it is training or equipment, they are stronger than those garbage regiments that frequently go to the countryside to do evil, if it is the former militia company, basically they can't help them, but now, Hu Weidong has full confidence
Although the militia company only annihilated only one detachment of the Biedong team this time, only 12 people, it captured a batch of sophisticated equipment, and the firepower of a Czech light machine gun alone was worth ten rifles. And the 12 shell guns are not simple, they are not 10-round, single-shot old-fashioned shell guns, but all 20-round, Mauser submachine pistols that can be used as submachine guns in bursts, and they are also high-end goods of German origin and special requirements for a longer barrel. These "Twenty Shots" are not only reliable in quality, but also have an effective range of an astonishing 200 meters away (50 meters to 100 meters for most pistols), and can even kill unprotected targets with a single shot at a distance of 300 meters, and the accuracy is much higher than that of ordinary shell guns. And the rifles they brought were the predecessors of the later famous "Zhongzheng" rifle - the M1924 Mauser rifle made in Germany, although it was slightly worse than the improved version of "Zhongzheng", but it was much stronger than the "Hanyang-made".
In addition, the ammunition of the Biedong team is far more sufficient than that of most of the returning regiments, this time the militia company has captured a total of more than 20 magazines of more than 200 rounds, and more than 7,000 rounds of 7.92mm light machine gun ammunition, which is definitely enough for the current militia company for a while
Therefore, after the war, Hu Weidong immediately expanded the pistol team, basically according to the establishment of the biedong team, 12 people, a light machine gun, 13 box guns (Hu Weidong is naturally still double guns, anyway, the practice of the commander with two guns on his waist is also very popular in the biedong team. The only difference is that they don't carry rifles, anyway, the tasks carried out by the Biedong team are complex and varied, and in order to reduce the load, they often do not carry rifles. In this way, the weight of the pistol team can be greatly reduced, and the extra rifles can be equipped with ten more militiamen, which is obviously more cost-effective. Besides, with the current combat method of the militia company and the marksmanship that most of the soldiers are not up to, everyone generally does not shoot at the enemy from a long distance, but there are twenty rounds in close combat, and the firepower is already very strong.
In this way, the configuration of the pistol team includes a machine gunner plus Hu Weidong and ten fast gunners, of which Hu Weidong is equipped with two "twenty shots", and those ten people are each with one hand, and the machine gunner can only be equipped with an old gun eliminated by Hu Weidong because it is difficult to use a pistol
The 12 "Twenty Rings" can be used as automatic weapons when necessary, the firepower is very strong, and the success rate of the sneak attack after pretending to be a Biedong team is greatly increased, and it is not impossible to capture a small mine guarded by only fifty or sixty men. Relatively speaking, it is more troublesome to carry the loot after going to the mine, after all, there are too few twelve people, but according to the two biedong team members, most of the miners in Xingguo County are the so-called "red elements" who have been captured and used as slaves, and I don't know how many people have been abused to death, so as long as Hu Weidong can successfully go to the mine, the labor force basically does not have to worry. …,
As for the question of whether the killing of the Biedong team will lead to the county immediately sending a large army to clean it up, Hu Weidong is not very worried, because the patrol scope of that detachment is not just a village in Dawangzhuang, and it will not be found immediately, not to mention that there are still a small number of Red Army guerrillas in Xingguo County today, and the scale of the Biedong team is only 12 people, and it is not surprising that the boat capsized in the gutter and was completely annihilated. The enemy may not have thought that Hu Weidong and they actually pretended to be a militia group and stayed there for a long time
But in any case, time is more precious than anything else, so Hu Weidong decided to attack a nearby lead mine the next day, this mine is not small, the mine protection team is said to have more than 70 people, and even two machine guns, but it also has a rare small coarse lead smelter, and lead can be used to make bullets, so Hu Weidong intends to take a risk
Liu Hai is not a soldier after all, he always feels very hung in his heart, and after repeated persuasion is ineffective, he asked Hu Weidong to bring dozens of more people, but Hu Weidong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I only took the pistol team out, and I just pretended to be a plainclothes team to yin them on the grounds of inspection, and it was difficult to find a reason to bring the 'homecoming group'."
Hu Weidong, who knew that time was precious, led the team to set off the next day, the people in the mountains were all iron-footed, especially the members of the pistol team were all selected, and everyone did not shout tired after walking for several hours, but Hu Weidong was a little unbearable because of the gunshot wound on his body that had not yet fully healed, but he was a little unbearable at first, but he just sat down and took out his pocket watch to look at it, and heard bursts of gunfire in the distance
"Go and see, pay attention to concealment, don't be reckless, and follow the command in all actions, understand?" , Hu Weidong immediately came to the spirit and ordered with great energy.
"Understood!" Although a few days of training and combat could not make them a qualified special soldier, the temperament of that kind of fierce and confident has gradually formed, which makes Hu Weidong quite satisfied.
"All hidden!" As soon as Hu Weidong saw the figure, he immediately ordered, and the eleven team members immediately followed Hu Weidong's previous teachings and found a suitable hiding place as quickly as possible.
