Chapter 922: Militia! Militia (6)
This rush, because of the tactical deployment, the movement was obtained, and the luck was good, it hit the morale of the little devils one after another, so that the little devils had no intention of fighting, so the casualty rate of the militia was not high, and it was estimated that it would not exceed fifty people.
There are many reasons why there is such a large casualty rate, but there are two main reasons.
First, although this guy Yamaguchi Naoi is ferocious, but aside from the little devil's animal behavior, from the perspective of a soldier, I have to admit that he is indeed an excellent soldier with rich experience in battlefield command, a very broad vision, and a very decisive personality.
No, although he was unconscious at that time when he was very much needed to stand up and boost morale, but when he retreated to a certain distance, he was once again needed to stand up and command everyone, stabilize the morale of the army and improve morale, this guy really woke up.
And, as soon as he woke up, the first thing he said was, "How is it?
It can be seen that before he fell unconscious, he knew very well in his heart what kind of evil consequences this battle, or for his own coma, and he had long predicted it. And this, on the other hand, also reflects how high his military literacy is.
After receiving some brief briefing on the current situation, he asked his men to pick him up, sit on a stretcher, and give a number of orders, the two most important of which were: first, immediately establish a defensive line on the hillside fifty meters ahead, to block the enemy's pursuit, and to gather the soldiers. Second, after completing the first order, while the enemy has not yet closed the area, everyone quickly intersperses the past, and do not attack the enemy's positions again, but directly join the main forces - this is especially important and decisive.
Second, the big problem of the militia itself.
The militia is a militia in the end, but it is only a semi-military organization, and it cannot be compared with paramilitarization. I won't say much about the many problems in this, but in terms of combat experience, the militia really has a big shortcoming.
But after launching a fierce attack, seeing that the little devils were defeated and fled, the militia naturally pursued them relentlessly.
At this time, if it is a paramilitary organization, no matter how chaotic the battlefield situation is, it is still chasing and killing little devils, so the soldiers are definitely accustomed to taking the squad as a unit, or in other words, the squad leader will most likely gather the soldiers in the squad from time to time. However, in the current situation, the militia was still a little conscious at the beginning, most of them were people from the same village and village who gathered together to collectively hunt down and kill the little devils, but, fighting, seeing the little devils becoming more and more chaotic, the militia was also becoming more and more chaotic, such as Tian Lao Wu, he has always been aimed at the goal, and he has not considered anything else at all, and when he came to his senses, there was no acquaintance around him. The same is true of other militias.
In this way, when the little devils gather together rapidly under the command of the commander, the big difference between the paramilitary organization and the semi-military organization is revealed: the gathered little devils can quickly find the original collective, and then, as before, pile it up layer by layer, so that the commander-in-chief can effectively organize everyone to resist. Looking at the militia on the other hand, at this time, there is a mess at all, the soldiers cannot find the generals, they will not be able to call the soldiers, and they will fight separately.
In this regard, even if he is the commander-in-chief of the militia, he has no choice in a short period of time, so he has to disperse the people around him, to command, to rectify discipline, and to find the leaders of their respective villages.
However, the rise of the militia killing, it is difficult to stop, not only regardless of the above arrangements, but even directly ignoring the temporary defense line established by the little devils, they just screamed and charged, and the result is naturally self-evident...... To put it mildly, if it weren't for the fact that the little devil took into account the new regiment and the first battalion of the assault regiment that came after him, I am afraid that the little devil would see the scene in front of him and directly kill the carbine, and then attack the position of the independent regiment again to complete the previous tactical arrangement.
In this way, no matter how large the militia is, it will only be a scattered mess. For the little devils who have been able to put up effective resistance, these militias in front of them are basically no different from cattle and sheep to be slaughtered.
In the end, the commander-in-chief saw this chaotic scene and directly asked everyone to shout at everyone to go back two hundred meters...... This is also a way that there is no way, it will be pointless to rush up to death, it is better to retain the living force and keep the cornerstone of the assault regiment, after all, the vast majority of these militias will be the main force of fighting devils in this area in the future, and they can't be sacrificed here so worthlessly. And retreating, although it seems to be a bit demoralizing, but on the other hand, it can be regarded as completing the task, blocking this group of little devils, so that this group of little devils cannot form the most direct threat to the positions of the independent regiment.
In the end, before they could retreat to two hundred meters, the new regiment and the assault regiment battalion were killed, one left and one right.
After instructing the militia to continue to establish positions behind the independent regiment, the new regiment and the first battalion of the assault regiment continued to pursue and kill this little devil.
At this point, the militiamen could be regarded as taking a breath and relieving themselves...... Although many problems have arisen and some casualties have been paid, in the long run, these experiences and lessons will become the precious wealth of these militiamen in their lives and become the firm cornerstone of the vitality of this area and the future war of resistance against Japanese aggression. Naturally, militiamen like Tian Lao Wu who made meritorious contributions in this battle were not only rewarded and praised, but also recruited to the army as an exception and became a glorious soldier of the Eighth Route Army. Among them, Tian Lao Wu had the greatest achievements in this battle, and later became a soldier of the main regiment, became a squad leader half a year later, and was promoted to deputy company commander by the line of fire in a battle a year later...... It is a pity that a year before the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he died in a major war, and at the time of his death, he was already the deputy commander. After the liberation, the people set up a monument to the revolutionary martyrs here, among which the name of Tian Lao Wu ranked first. For Tian Lao Wu, he has gloriously completed the ideal of getting ahead and glorifying his ancestors.
......
These are all counted after the war, and now, Zhang Qingshan and they don't know yet.
Although everyone knows in their hearts that this time they were able to conquer Baoyuan County, get so many supplies, and calmly blew up many sections of the county wall, the comrades who fought in Majiaao made great contributions. In this regard, everyone is also ready to accept the tragic battle report, but now that they have not seen the battle report, and they have just won such a big victory, everyone is still very happy and excited.
Along the way, although everyone accelerated the pace back to Qinglong Mountain, their expressions were relatively relaxed: if they returned to Qinglong Mountain one step earlier, they could rest assured one step earlier, after all, everyone was also worried that the little devil would not go to Baoyuan County under the annoyance and anger, but directly attacked Qinglong Mountain. Now there is only one battalion defending in Qinglong Mountain, and the troops are insufficient, if the little devil reaches Qinglong Mountain first, then Qinglong Mountain will be dangerous. Therefore, everyone must return to Qinglong Mountain before the little devil is likely to arrive first, so as to feel at ease.
What's more, the battle at Majiaao this time was fierce, not to mention the many wounded and sick, everyone had to go back to meet these brother troops...... Don't say anything like fighting devils together, just because others come all the way to help you, but you can't even make the other party eat and drink well, it's reasonable, it's not appropriate, and if it is spread out, it will be even more detrimental to the reputation of the commando.
However, to everyone's shock and anger, everyone returned to the Qinglong Mountain regiment headquarters to take a look, but saw that Qinglong Mountain was full of ruins and broken walls, and some of the collapsed houses were still burning...... Needless to say, just from the crater of the shells, it is clear that this is definitely the result of a massive artillery attack.
Zhang Qingshan hurriedly ordered everyone to rescue the wounded...... Fortunately, it was planned beforehand: all the materials seized from Baoyuan County were pulled to Sanqiao County first - mainly to facilitate the distribution of materials to the other three regiments and the transfer of materials, after all, those materials were too much for Qinglong Mountain to put down.
"Old Hu, what's going on?" Zhang Qingshan originally planned to ask someone else what the situation was, but at a glance, he found that Hu Yingze was standing on the second floor of the only row of two-story buildings that had not been blown up, commanding everyone loudly. Zhang Qingshan hurriedly ran to Lao Hu's side and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just a little devil's revenge. ”
Hu Yingze replied lightly, but Zhang Qingshan was stunned: It can be seen from Hu Yingze's breezy demeanor that Hu Yingze is downbeat about this matter, or for such a scene, because he has experienced too much, so much that he has become numb.
Immediately, Zhang Qingshan thought about it, too: As a soldier, especially a soldier in the Anti-Japanese War era, has he experienced less of the tragic scene caused by the revenge of the little devils? If he was angry and heartbroken every time, it is estimated that everyone would have been burned to death by anger a long time ago...... It's just that suddenly hearing Hu Yingze say so indifferently made Zhang Qingshan a little uncomfortable, because in Zhang Qingshan's opinion, in the eyes of a literati like Hu Yingze, such a scene in front of him should make him angry like thunder, but he didn't expect it to be so indifferent.
Thinking about it, Zhang Qingshan could only sigh.
"Where's the little devil?"
Hearing Tian Guozhong's words on the side, Zhang Qingshan immediately asked: "Lao Hu, don't worry, our assault regiment's casualties this time are very small, and it can fight in a battle, you just say, where has the little devil already fought?"
"The little devil didn't come!" Hu Yingze lit a cigarette, and after replying, he looked at the scene in front of him, gritted his teeth, and didn't make a sound.
"The little devil didn't come, so you still say that these are all done by the little devil?"
"Lao Zhang, don't ask, I know, these are all little devil planes. Old Hu, right?"
Hu Yingze nodded, did not speak, but his eyes were still looking at the rescue scene below, but the anger he exuded was shocking.
Zhang Qingshan listened to it, and indeed did not find the sound of gunfire. As soon as I listened to Tian Guozhong's words again, I understood: the little devil's soldiers really didn't fight, but the little devil sent planes to bomb Qinglong Mountain, which caused the current scene.
The three of them were in no mood to talk for a while.
After the scene was cold for a while, Zhang Qingshan scratched his head and asked: "It's strange, I didn't see the little devil's plane coming to help on the battlefield, this battle is over, but the little devil's plane came to retaliate, what is this called?"
