Chapter 152: Contest (4)
Outside Daishan, in front of the road leading to Qinglong Village, Yamazaki Ichiro Nakasa, who hadn't rested much all night, was very strange. There was silence inside and outside the mountains, and the sentinels guarding the various places also reported that they had not noticed the movement of the Snow Fox Brigade. He also did not receive any news from the railway, which proved that Snow Fox did not flee east of Jinpu Road by railroad.
Ichiro Yamazaki thinks that Xue Ru wants to escape, and this is the only chance. Miss tonight, as soon as the day dawns, he will attack, and the snow fox will have no chance. But Snow Fox actually stopped in this place and didn't move, did he think he was one of those ordinary divisions?
Snow Fox won the battle in Qinglong Village, successfully defeated the imperial army, and fled from here, Yamazaki Ichiro knew. However, there is no one in Qinglong Village, and it has also been destroyed by the imperial army, and in one night, unless Xue Ru is really a fox spirit, there will be no arrangement, and it is too late to repair the fortifications.
In order not to give the snow fox time to breathe, as soon as the morning dawned, Ichiro Yamazaki gave the order that the troops should be assembled and ready for action. He was five squadrons, leaving one squadron to guard the vehicles, thinking that the reserve would respond, and personally led four squadrons to surround Qinglong Mountain from three directions and attack inside.
On the other hand, he is not worried, first, there is no way out in that regard. Second, the lack of one of the three is to force the snow fox to leave the mountain, and with his own mobility and strong combat effectiveness, as long as the snow fox is forced to the plains, he can easily destroy them.
Extreme trust in his own army made him divide the four squadrons into three units, Yamazaki Ichiro's squadron was also different from other squadrons in the Japanese army, an ordinary squadron in the Japanese army was three infantry squads plus the squadron headquarters, a total of 174 people, a standard squadron.
Ichiro Yamazaki's squadron is four squads, and there are not so many auxiliary arms, all combat arms. A squadron of four squads and a complete combat force of 200 people is indeed stronger than an ordinary brigade, not to mention that they have advanced weapons and strong combat capability.
In the middle of the night, Kimberly-Clark reported the situation, Xue Ru not only did not worry, but became more confident, it turned out to be such an army, which scared Xue Ru, and thought that the Japanese army had come out of the special forces.
In such a short period of time, Wei Ming and Kimberly-Clark are scouts, not intelligence agencies, and of course it is impossible to know Yamazaki Ichiro's background and battle plan. However, the number of Japanese troops, weapons and equipment, and the names of officers can still be known.
According to the results of the reconnaissance, the Japanese army was a brigade with more than 1,000 personnel, and the biggest feature of the unit was that there were no rifles, all * and light machine guns, no heavy weapons, and no baggage troops, which were completely the same as the Snow Fox.
But in terms of motorization and logistics, it is much more than Snow Fox, and the most dangerous thing is that the Japanese army can act separately. They can get air support if necessary, and they can also mobilize the forces around them to surround the snow fox.
It is beyond Snow Fox in several aspects, and for this reason, Li Wenxiu and they are worried that this is probably the strongest opponent Snow Fox faces. But after a detailed analysis, Xue Ru had the confidence to win.
Her confidence is based on the fact that the devil doesn't really know the snow fox, and the second brigade that they chased into the mountains is not the main force, and the first brigade led by Liu Yuanshan and Dai Zong is the main force of the snow fox, and it is behind the devil at this time.
The second confidence is that Ichiro Yamazaki has apparently only learned the surface of modern warfare and has not mastered the essence. Such units are suitable for encounters, pursuits, and sieges, and are not suitable for current combat.
Xue Ru eagerly brought the troops into Zhang Baling, just to understand one thing, * The biggest advantage is the ferocious firepower and fast firing speed, whether it is the ammunition capacity or the range, it is not comparable to the Mauser pistol.
Exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses and giving full play to their own firepower advantages has always been the operational principle of Snow Fox. This time is no exception, if it were an ordinary Japanese brigade, Snow Fox would also retreat, but by no means Zhang Baling.
But this is a motorized unit with strong firepower and maneuverability, so it is different. Therefore, she chose the Zhangbaling Mountains, in the woods, due to the influence of trees, it is difficult to exert ordinary firepower, in this regard, * is not much stronger than a pistol.
At this time, I can see that Xue Ru is not strong in some aspects, but in terms of being smart and quick-witted, he is indeed very powerful. In a very short period of time, I thought of a lot of questions, and took advantage of the fact that the devil didn't know that there was another brigade to decide on the way of this battle.
As soon as the morning dawned, the sentry monitoring under the mountain sent back a signal, and the Japanese soldiers came in three directions in the direction of Qinglong Village. Overnight, Xue Ru and the four squadron leaders had studied detailed tactics and made the necessary arrangements in the mountains. At this time, when he heard the devil's actions, Qiao Han said: "This Yamazaki Ichiro, it's just like that, I think it's so powerful." ”
Du Heng said: "The posture is very large, but it turns out that it is nothing more than that. ”
Xue Ru said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, I estimate that the Japanese army's individual combat effectiveness must be very strong, which is also our weakness." Be careful, don't come into contact with the devil, * is characterized by no bayonets, can't stab, avoid medium distances, or long distances, or close, action. ”
Snow Fox was also four squadrons, and they also separated at the same time and met in the direction of the Japanese army. However, the number of Snow Fox's squadron was smaller than that of the Japanese army, and they had more than fifty more people in one squadron. But this did not affect the actions of Snow Fox, although those recruits who had just joined were a little scared, but fortunately, the company captain was also a veteran.
The Snow Fox's personnel hid in the woods, staring at the advancing devils through the gaps in the trees. Not to mention, Ichiro Yamazaki's tactics are still decent. The Japanese army took the squad as a unit and launched a cascade search team to search and advance to the mountain.
Yu Shujing, the leader of the 15th squad hiding in the woods, did not use a pistol, but all the squad held rifles, and he whispered to the people around him: "Remember, only shoot once, and then move immediately, be fast." ”
The people around nodded their heads again and again, and raised their guns one after another, this is the advantage of playing, the range of the rifle is much farther than *. Xue Ru said that Yamazaki Ichiro only learned the fur, that is, in the use of weapons, the snow fox took care of the distance, the near, and the middle, but the Japanese army did not.
From the battlefield, the Japanese aircraft, artillery, and infantry were at three distances, from the long, middle, and near distances, and from the battle, the artillery, heavy machine guns, and grenadiers were at a distance, medium, and close range. Rifles, pistols, and bayonets are another level of long, medium, and close range.
How many battles, the Snow Fox shoots from a distance, and then there is close combat, because of the lack of medium-range weapons, it turns out that there are a large number of light machine guns to form a medium-range firepower. Because of the ammunition problem, the snow fox was forced to fight in close combat only with rapid assaults, without heavy machine guns and mortars, and it was not possible to fight from a distance.
Obviously, the Japanese army did not grasp this theoretical knowledge, at least Yamazaki Ichiro did not understand it. He thought that the firepower was strong and the military was strong, so he used a lot of * to strengthen the close-range firepower, and equipped the grenadier canister and light machine gun for long-range strikes. But he lacks a medium-range weapon, and that's the weak link.
When Xue Ru knew the weakness of the Japanese army, he also had his own tactics. Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches is an eternal truth. Blows at key points can crush behemoths with minimal force. The reason why Xue Ru can achieve major results with forces that others can't believe is related to her knowledge.
Otherwise, with 1,800 people, it is no less than a fantasy to defeat and destroy a wing of devils. It was the same this time, the more information she had, the more confident Xue Ru became. What she is most worried about is that the Japanese army will use the devils in Mingguang, Chuxian, and Quanjiao to surround this place. Under heavy troops, tactics will not solve too big a problem. Up to now, the Japanese army has not done this, which makes Xue Ru full of confidence, she wants to leave this devil brigade in Zhang Baling.
Not for anything else, for the sake of the Japanese army's equipment, let Xue Ru be greedy. It's good to have the support of the state, and the devil can make such good equipment like that. As soon as she spoke, the four squadron leaders had a greedy look in their eyes.
"Bang" A gunshot rang out, and the battle of Zhang Baling finally began. Bang bang gunfire continued, and machine guns for the Japanese counterattack rang out. Ichiro Yamazaki didn't give it for nothing, he understood that what he could rely on was the ferocity of firepower, and in terms of range, it was not as far as a rifle. Therefore, as soon as the guns rang out in the woods, the bullets of the Japanese army rained down, and for a while, the branches and leaves of the trees flew sideways.
There are also quite a few people, and the total number of people from both sides is about 2,000. On the battlefield on three sides, the score is extraordinarily lively. However, not long after the battle began, Ichiro Yamazaki found that he had suffered a loss. Because, the snow fox has a geographical advantage in the woods, and almost all of the shots they shoot in the dark are cold guns, and when they shoot more than a hundred meters away, the Japanese army's * are all counterattacked back, and the range is not enough, so it is difficult to hit the opponent's people.
Obviously, the Snow Fox Brigade completely dispersed, attacking the Japanese from all sides, and ran away with a single shot. It would be very dangerous for the Japanese to chase them, and if they did not pursue, they returned and fired again, and the formation and encirclement of the imperial army were also somewhat out of shape. In this way, if the snow fox wants to run, it is really difficult for him to stop it.
Hurriedly give the order not to pursue too far and maintain a dense formation. Watching the Japanese army fall into passivity, but Snow Fox also encountered difficulties. In the woods, it was not easy for the Japanese army to form a rapid pursuit, and they could not give full play to the advantage of strong firepower.
However, they have the advantage of intensive firepower, although the individual combat skills of these soldiers of the Japanese army are absolutely first-class, with fast response, good combat skills, and accurate judgment. It is said that the snow fox is also in a disadvantageous situation, although the rifle is far away, but this is a forest, there are trees in the way, too far away, it is impossible to see the devil, and when it can be seen, the distance between the two sides is already very close, and * can be on.
At this time, the competition between the two sides is combat skills, but the recruits of the second brigade account for a large part, although they are not ordinary people, but the people of the security regiment are similar to the people, and they have only been trained for more than 20 days, and in terms of combat skills and tactical movements, they cannot be compared with the original snow fox at all, and they are not as good as the devils in front of them.
On a hill in the back mountain, Xue Ru frowned, and the squadrons reported that the Japanese army suffered a lot of casualties, but the snow fox casualties were not small. It seems that if this kind of battle continues, who will lose it still doesn't know. Wei Ming, who was promoted to the deputy captain of the second brigade, said: "Miss, it can't go on like this, we have too many recruits to defeat the Japanese army." ”
Xue Ru only calculated in terms of the battle situation and weapons, but she ignored the soldier's combat skills. It is not the original Snow Fox Brigade that cannot fight the Japanese army, but retreating at this time, it will undoubtedly fail, and will be chased and beaten by Ichiro Yamazaki. Shaking his head, he said: "You can't withdraw, order the troops to fight guerrilla, don't kill the Japanese in close quarters, drag them down, and wait until the first brigade comes to support." ”
Wei Ming understood, and wanted to wait until the first brigade completed the task outside the mountain, and then come in for reinforcements, and immediately issued an order to the people of the Snow Fox Brigade, from now on, not to kill and injure the Japanese soldiers, to lure them inside, and to drag the devils.
Xue Ru said: "Liu Quan, order the first brigade to start moving, fight quickly, and attack the Japanese army from behind. ”
Liu Quan immediately sent a report to the 1st Brigade that the battle in the mountains was still going on, but it was not too fierce, because the forces of the two sides had not made substantial contact.
At this time, Ichiro Yamazaki had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the Snow Fox Brigade was nothing more than that, although his casualties were not small, but they could bear it. Snow Fox's casualties are not small, it seems that if the fight continues like this, in the end it will be the victory of the Imperial Japanese Army, there are a little casualties, he doesn't care, he can replenish personnel from other divisions.
"Report." Deputy Captain Suzuki Fifteen said: "Captain Nakasa, the snow foxes are beginning to lose their resistance, they are avoiding us, and they no longer dare to attack. ”
Yamazaki Ichiro smiled proudly: "Order, bite them, be sure to destroy the Snow Fox Brigade." ”
Suzuki Fifteen said, "Captain, you can't attack the mountains anymore, you may be escaped by them." ”
Yamazaki Ichiro snorted coldly: "I just let them escape from the mountains, the imperial army has planes, besides, are they as fast as us?" If you don't escape from the mountain, you will be wiped out in the mountain, and if you escape, you will not escape death. What a snow fox brigade, but that's it. ”
"Hey." Suzuki Fifteen Shaozo hurriedly said: "The captain is wise. "I slapped a sycophant, Yamazaki Ichiro didn't say anything, he just wanted to use the snow fox to prove that his tactics were correct, those guerrillas behind enemy lines were not vulnerable at all.
The Japanese troops who had received the order also lined up and pressed down into the mountains. The situation of the 2nd Brigade of the Snow Fox was even more difficult, and the Japanese army attacked from three sides, gradually forming a trend of encirclement on three sides, and constantly compressing the space for movement. The denser the woods, the less powerful the spear is, and the more advantageous this short weapon is, if you use a pistol to fight in close combat, but the combat skills of the Snow Fox Second Brigade are far inferior to the Japanese army, so if it continues, it will indeed be eliminated by the Japanese army in the end.
In order to delay time, the four squadron leaders commanded their own soldiers and constantly attacked the Japanese army, and the casualties increased. Standing on the hill and looking into the distance, Xue Ru didn't know why Liu Yuanshan and they hadn't moved yet.
According to the report, last night, the four squadrons had been assembled, and the Japanese army had left only one squadron outside the mountain, so there should be no problem, and if the first brigade started attacking again from behind the devils, with the combat effectiveness of the first brigade, Yamazaki Ichiro would have no chance of victory.
Just when Xue Ru was anxiously waiting, the first brigade outside the mountain finally surrounded a squadron left by the devil from four aspects. Squadron Leader Riichiro Katayama Shaosa, he didn't worry about anything, he also had a squadron of troops, and Snow Fox was surrounded by the captain to attack, surrounded by the strength of the Imperial Army, his task was to reserve, to guard these vehicles, and then to protect the ammunition replenishment.
Liu Yuanshan and Dai Zong didn't have to be so slow, but they were worried that Ichiro Yamazaki would not be far into the mountain, and they knew that the convoy was attacked and returned. On the other hand, Ouyang Sari resolutely did not agree to the attack, he wanted to keep these vehicles, and with them, the snow fox was like a tiger.
Liu Yuanshan and Dai Zong are interested in those bullets, where can they get these good things on the snow fox? This is great, a squadron of 200 devils, Snow Fox is four squadrons, more than 600 people, three to one, basically no suspense, but how can we keep these cars and ammunition? The devils can't be allowed to blow them up.
Several squadron leaders and group leaders studied for a long time before they came up with a way, and the four squadrons scattered and approached the squadron left behind by the devils.
