The reaction of the Japanese squadron leader was not unpleasant, and the defensive deployment ordered was quite appropriate.

It's a pity that he overestimated the combat effectiveness of his own side after all, and underestimated the firepower of Ding Wei and his party.

After all, it was only sixty or seventy Japanese soldiers.

These Japanese puppet troops are not facing any three-gun dirt and eight roads.

It is a new regiment with strong soldiers and well-equipped horses.

Ding Wei's tactics of concentrating troops, advancing head-on, and roundabout on both sides were clearly displayed in front of him.

He didn't expect to hide the little devil's detection.

The terrain in front of him was too open, and the roundabout teams on both sides could not escape the sight of the Japanese puppet army.

Then proceed above board.

Just to tell you little devil, I'm going to surround you and eat you again.

In terms of tactical command, Ding Wei has always been a bold master.

After the firepower exchange between the two sides began, the superiority of the frontal assault troops deployed by Ding Wei and the squad assault tactics carried out by the three-three system was immediately revealed.

The environment in which the three-three system of squad assault tactics applies is precisely the assault tactics carried out on the premise that the enemy's firepower points are known.

Judging by a local small triangle attacking formation.

When attacking in a triangle formation.

The temporary commander, that is, the squad leader or group leader, is located at the rear of the triangle, and the two soldiers are at the front of the triangle.

And three such small triangle formations form a large offensive echelon.

That is, a team of nine people, less than a squad of fighters, can use this triangular squad assault formation to encompass an offensive front of almost a hundred meters.

If there are twenty-seven fighters, an attack group of three people can form a total of nine attack groups, that is, nine combat groups.

Once fully deployed, it can even cover an offensive front eight hundred meters wide.

Although the number of people is small, once the offensive formation is formed, it can oppress the enemy just from the momentum.

In addition, each three-person combat team has a good division of labor.

Attack, cover, support.

Just like Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong, why did they propose an independent regiment, the new first regiment and the new second regiment, together to form a triangular defense system.

It's the same as what is happening in front of you.

Between battle groups and battle groups, and between triangle attack groups and triangle attack groups, if they can achieve an orderly pace, coordinate attacks, cover each other, and support each other.

Even if the assault team is launched, the overall number of people is not large.

The combat effectiveness that can be displayed is absolutely impossible for the enemy to ignore.

Scattered formation, orderly attack.

If the Japanese puppet army does not stop it, once the leading triangular attack group reaches the firing range.

The attacking group could immediately engage in a firepower exchange with the Japanese puppet army and cover the follow-up troops to continue to advance.

The fully launched offensive of several hundred meters covered it in one fell swoop, and the Japanese puppet army, which had an absolute disadvantage in front of them, could not bear it at all.

Once caught in a new encirclement, the little devil is completely finished.

But if the Japanese puppet army wanted to rely on artillery fire to block the 33 squad on the side of the new regiment from breaking through the group.

It's no easy task.

The reason is simple and crude.

The three-three system of team offensive tactics is on this open offensive line.

The fighters were quite scattered from one individual to another.

In addition, the three-person group of the new regiment advanced on this side, and there were observers who were always vigilant for the Japanese artillery strikes.

Once the devil's shells were thrown, the team members scattered and hid at first, and when the devil's artillery fire stopped, they continued to advance.

To use an image analogy, the new group of soldiers facing the Japanese puppet army at the moment is like a group of mosquitoes with a small number of them, but the formation is quite domineering.

The only thing that can threaten these mosquitoes on the side of the Japanese puppet army now is the artillery at hand.

Hitting mosquitoes with a cannon may not have an effect, but if you don't fight, the mosquitoes will bite.

Are you going to fight or not?

Although the squadron leader of the Japanese army was a little hesitant, he didn't want to escape from the battle, returned to the county seat, was punished by military law, and finally made the choice to fight.

A squad leader said: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the Eighth Route Army has already begun to move, and it is obvious that they are trying to attract our firepower from the front, detour from both flanks, and surround our troops. ”

"It's just that the distance between the two sides is too far now, and there are still about 800 meters left in visual inspection, which is completely beyond the effective range of machine guns and rifles, as well as grenadiers."

"I suggest trying to shoot two shots from the captured mountain cannons."

The Japanese squadron leader nodded and said, "Yo Xi, just like that, first aim at the Eighth Route Army troops that are attacking and shoot two shots." ”

"Hey!"

Boom –

The order of the Japanese squadron leader was given, and two shells of 75-mm mountain guns exploded directly on the open flat ground in the distance.

The distance between the two sides was too far, and these two shells were directed by the devil's artillery scouts, after observing through the ranging telescope, and commanding the test firing.

At such a distance, the angle of view is very small, and even the leader of the devil squadron has to raise the telescope in his hand to observe if he wants to see clearly the specific situation of the new regiment after being shelled.

After a while, the leader of the devil squadron put down the binoculars, and his face was a little ugly: "Baga, two shells were wasted in vain, and not even a single enemy was killed!" ”

The adjutant said helplessly: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the distance is too far, the hit rate of the shells is very low, in addition, the offensive formation used by these Eighth Route Army is really strange, the team is quite scattered, and the distance between the individuals is even more than twenty meters.

Let's get a little closer to the enemy before we fight! ”

The Japanese squadron leader nodded, and according to the effective range of the Type 89 grenadier, the Type 38 rifle, and the crooked light machine gun, he carefully calculated:

"That's the only way, order the artillery observer to continue to measure the distance between the attacking Eighth Route Army and our side."

"After the Eighth Route Army is placed close to the distance of 600 meters in the front direction and on both flanks, the light machine gun fire can try to fire at a distance, and after it is placed at a distance of 500 meters, the grenadier fire can be blocked.

After entering the 400 meters, all rifle fire can be fired together, and the pace of the Eighth Route Army's attack must be stopped.

Let these hateful Eighth Route Army fall to me one by one on the way to charge. ”

"Hey!"

At this moment, the Japanese squadron leader did not dare to shout anymore, and after the new regiment was completely brought closer, the two sides would come to fight a positional battle again.

……

However, the leader of this devil squadron probably ignored a problem.

His little devil has a grenadier, and the new regiment also has a grenadier, and his little devil has a crooked target and a mountain cannon, and the new regiment also has a crooked handle in his hand, and the Czech type, plus the captured 75-millimeter mountain gun.

This means that when the Japanese puppet army blocks the new regiment with firepower, the new regiment can also attack the Japanese puppet army with firepower.

And why didn't the Japanese squadron leader take this issue into account?

On the one hand, it was because he believed that the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was backward according to the inherent concept.

It is not even as good as the fleeing national army in front of you, and it is definitely inferior to the imperial troops in terms of firepower.

On the other hand, it is a small method used by Ding Wei secretly.

When letting the fighters move forward, try to hide some grenadiers and light machine guns with their bodies behind them.

In addition, he deliberately revealed some of the weapon configuration for the little devil to see.

So what was observed from the telescopes of the Japanese army.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army who attacked did not have a few light machine guns on hand, and there were also very few grenadiers.

The mountain cannon captured from the national army was temporarily hidden by the soldiers of the new regiment behind a higher gentle slope to avoid the sight of the devils.

Ding Wei also ordered a squad of fighters, plus a few artillerymen, to operate the mountain gun and provide long-range firepower.

Because the range of this mountain cannon is long enough, even if it is hidden behind this gentle slope, when it needs to be used, it can smash the shells at any time in the area where the Japanese puppet army is located.

In addition to this, there is a huge advantage on the side of the new regiment.

When both sides were within range of each other's fire, the two sides exchanged firepower.

On the side of the new regiment, because it is an assault tactic of the three-three system.

The fighters were quite scattered among each other, which could effectively avoid the concentrated killing of the Japanese puppet army's firepower.

And what about the devils and the puppet army, because they are inferior to the new regiment in terms of troops.

Therefore, the leader of the devil squadron gathered the forces of the Japanese puppet army and carried out defensive operations in a relatively concentrated area.

In this way, once the two sides start to exchange firepower, the situation is quite clear.

The same artillery fire is fired at each other, and bullets are fired at each other.

On the side of the devil's puppet army, it is a new group of attacking troops that are in motion and are relatively scattered.

On the side of the new regiment, the firepower was concentrated to attack, but it was the Japanese puppet army that was relatively concentrated.

It is even possible to carry out concentrated fire coverage on the Japanese puppet army.

This is, of course, quite a plus.

Ding Wei, who was commanding in the rear, realized that the Japanese puppet army had temporarily ceased fire, and seemed to want to put the soldiers of the new regiment within range and then block the fire.

A smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the little devil was really fooled.

In order to form the ultimate firepower confrontation advantage.

Ding Wei took out the shell gun in his waist and fired two shots into the air, using the sound of gunfire as a signal to urge the two wings to make a detour and accelerate the soldiers who were advancing head-on.

It is necessary to attack before the Japanese puppet army has seen through its own strategy.

Time passed bit by bit, and the brows of the commanders on both sides were furrowed.

It didn't take long for Ding Wei's order to be given with the sound of gunshots.

The soldiers of the new regiment completely entered the effective range of the firepower of the Japanese puppet army.

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the Eighth Route Army is already less than six hundred meters away from our army, and our machine guns can fire." The adjutant said.

The leader of the devil squadron nodded, "Roar, fire!" ”

The Japanese puppet army immediately launched a machine-gun offensive.

In the frontal direction, more than a dozen light machine guns lined up.

The devil machine gunner was prostrate on the flat ground, tilting his head and sticking his cheek to aim and shoot.

It's just that the distance is too far, and the target is hit almost six hundred meters with a crooked light machine gun.

Even the devil machine gunner, who is proficient in machine gun shooting, is a little difficult to grasp.

One by one, they can only attack through long shots, trying to improve the hit rate.

On the side of the new regiment, the soldiers advanced rapidly according to the command of the squad and platoon commanders.

At this time, it is basically a race against time with life.

Because they are far enough away, the fighters are fast enough to avoid being exposed for too long, so that casualties can be minimized.

It didn't take long for the fighters to break through the formation in a three-three system and quickly leap forward for 200 meters.

In the course of the nearly 200-meter charge, the Japanese puppet army first fired with machine guns, and then the grenadier fire also bombarded it.

There are also some devils, even if the distance between the two sides exceeds the effective range of the Type 38 rifle in their hands, they still try to open fire and shoot.

It's a pity, because the distance between the two sides is too far, coupled with the advance of the new regiment of soldiers, the tactics are clever, the personnel are scattered, and the operation is fast.

The attack of the devil puppet army had little effect.

The casualties on the side of the new regiment were minimal or even negligible.

……

"Commander, it's less than four hundred meters, give the order!"

Sun Zhenguo, the commander of the first battalion, observed the situation with a telescope and gritted his teeth and said.

In order to grasp the last offensive advantage, from the beginning of the offensive to the present, it has always been the devil's side that has opened fire, and the new regiment has been beaten unilaterally on this side.

The commander of the first battalion had long held back the fire in his belly.

Ding Wei, whose face was calm, looked in the direction of the Japanese puppet army, nodded, and said, "It's time, give the order, the attack begins!" ”

"Yes!"

Sun Zhenguo was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled out the gun in his waist, fired three shots into the air, and gave the signal for the final attack.

The shot fell, and the attack of the new regiment of soldiers who were rushing forward immediately changed from the flanks.

In the previous attack, even the devil puppet army found a problem.

The Eighth Route Army in front of him seemed to be bent on advancing and did not even counterattack in the face of the firepower of the imperial troops.

Just continue to maintain the odd formation in front of you and push forward quickly.

After Ding Wei's order was issued, the soldiers of the new regiment, who had also been aggrieved all the way, had no hesitation, and immediately launched a fire attack on the Japanese puppet army on the spot.

The grenadier that had been carried on the back by the soldiers and used to avoid the sight of the Japanese puppet army was quickly taken down by the soldiers and the grenadier position was built on the spot.

A light machine gun, also carried on their backs, was also removed by the fighters and set up in a suitable position to cover the infantry's charge.

Machine guns and grenadiers were being built at the same time.

The other fighters in charge of the assault continued to maintain the re-replenished three-three squad assault formation and moved forward.

Continue to oppress the living space of the Japanese puppet army.

The warriors on both wings continued to detour forward until the extended battle line was enough to completely surround the Japanese puppet army after closing.

The firepower exchange between the two sides instantly entered a white-hot stage.

When the new regiment was on one side, a round of fire salvo, and more than a dozen shells were pressed towards the area of the Japanese puppet army, covering it in a concentrated manner.

The devil squadron leader was stunned.

In the previous advance of the Eighth Route Army, the imperial troops only found five or six grenadiers and four or five light machine guns from the advancing ranks of the Eighth Route Army.

How did these dozen or so shells come at once?

More than a dozen shells, naturally it is impossible to kill all the devils and puppet soldiers in front of them.

But these dozen shells smashed at once, and the fire covered an area, not a point.

If the deployment of the Japanese puppet army's forces is scattered like a new attacking team, these shells will naturally not have much effect.

But the devil puppet army in front of him is relatively concentrated in one area to fight.

The results can be imagined.

Although half of the dozen shells were missed.

The other half of the shells that successfully landed in the area where the Japanese puppet army was located successfully took the lives of three devils and two puppet soldiers.

However, this was only the beginning, and the platoon commander, who was commanding the grenadiers to fire at the front, shouted excitedly when he saw that the bombardment had paid off:

"Continue to fire the artillery, cover the firepower, first hit me with the devil's grenadier position, knock out the devil's grenadier, and our grenadier will be safe!"

On the side of the new regiment, two grenadiers were in a group, and the position of each grenadier group was also relatively scattered to avoid being destroyed by Japanese artillery fire at one time.

As for the way of shelling, in the words of the platoon commander who commanded it, it was right to hit with his eyes closed.

Anyway, the devils and puppet armies are all staying in that area!

Even a blind cat can run into two dead mice.

The mountain artillery in the rear of the new regiment, after the fire offensive on the front line was launched, was also pushed out by the soldiers from behind the gentle slope and shelled towards the area where the Japanese puppet army was located.

Coupled with the sudden unfolding of light machine-gun fire on the side of the attacking troops of the new regiment.

Although the location of each light machine gun is relatively scattered.

At a glance, the empty area was almost everywhere with the sudden sound of machine guns.

The situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant, and the new regiment had an absolute advantage in firepower.

The Japanese commanders were in a hurry at the moment.

In the face of the artillery bombardment of the new regiment, coupled with the fire attack, due to the Japanese puppet army, the team was relatively concentrated.

Even if the Eighth Route Army strafed with its eyes closed, it would easily hit the target.

Coupled with the sudden burst of firepower from the Eighth Route Army in front of him, it really frightened the Japanese puppet army.

The leader of the devil squadron realized that he had been fooled and was deceived by the commander of the Eighth Route Army opposite.

The opposing side definitely hid firepower.

In the face of the artillery attack of the new regiment.

The best way for the Japanese side to do so was naturally to return fire with artillery fire.

But the advance troops of the new regiment were also in sight.

The two wings of the roundabout team are even more overwhelming.

Once there is no artillery fire to stop it......

The leader of the devil squadron is not stupid, if the two wings of the Eighth Route Army succeed in a roundabout way and form an encirclement of the imperial troops, the imperial troops may not be far from extinction.

The devil's artillery fire was a little too much to take care of for a while.

In the firepower exchange between the two sides, the Japanese puppet army fell into an absolute disadvantage, and the casualties continued to spread.

In less than five minutes, the remaining Japanese puppet army once again lost more than a third of its strength.

The injured devil adjutant had a look on his face full of urgency: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the situation is not good, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand it!" Request tactical guidance from Command now! ”

The Japanese squadron leader nodded hurriedly.

At this moment, how dare he take care of his previous arrogance, and even think that he didn't need to ask the command for help?

"Which team of the Eighth Route Army is in front of you? The tactics of the opposing commander are really good, and the combat effectiveness of the overall team is even more powerful. ”

The Japanese squadron leader couldn't help but sigh.

The Eighth Route Army in front of him, which was attacking rapidly, was the same as the national army that was about to collapse at the first touch. The contrast is striking.

After the commander of the devil squadron gave the order, the signal corps immediately contacted the Japanese command in the direction of Taigu through the radio.

A moment later, the signal corpsman rushed to report and said, "Sir, the command has learned of the situation of our department and ordered our department to try to make a strategic shift. The county seat will immediately send reinforcements to support our department. ”

"Transfer?"

Looking at the new regiment that was pressing from all directions not far away, the Japanese squadron leader smiled bitterly and said: "Transfer now, once we leave our backs to these Eighth Route Army, we will be defeated faster."

Tell the command that our unit will hold on with the determination of jade crushing and wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”

"Hey!"
