Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

'Chief of Staff, do you think we should attack Chifeng or Chengde next? '

Facing He Zhengdao's question, Ye Jianying said in surprise, "Commander, are we going to take the initiative to attack at this time?"

'good!Now that the little devils have already launched an attack, I believe this mixed brigade will last until tomorrow at most.After it is defeated, we have to consider whether to fight Chengde or Chifeng.

We have assembled so many main forces here, and the supplies consumed by the troops every day are not a small amount.If we can't afford some more attacks, we can only consume the stored combat supplies, which is wasteful.

If Chifeng or Chengde can be captured, I believe that the troops won't have to worry about supplies for a short time if they are captured in these two cities.At that time, no matter whether the little devil is attacking or defending, we will have the initiative advantage! '

Looking at He Zhengdao's confident words, Ye Jianying also felt that among the current Huaxia Anti-Japanese War troops, there are not many generals like He Zhengdao who dare to ignore a mixed brigade of the Japanese army.In a sense, He Zhengdao already has this kind of strength.

If the Kwantung Army's elite divisions were attacking Duolun at this moment, perhaps He Zhengdao would have paid more attention.But a mixed brigade with a strength of less than [-] is indeed no match for the Second Infantry Division with a strength of nearly [-]! (To be continued.)

Chapter 69 These eight roads are extraordinary!

Although the Kwantung Army sent bombers to bomb the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army.But in fact, the Eighth Route Army, which built anti-artillery potholes, did not suffer too many losses.If we really want to talk about losses, it is that the trenches on the position were bombed into a mess.

The positions that had been bombed by the Japanese artillery bombs before were bombed by the little devil's aerial bombs in turn, and the whole hill looked like scorched earth everywhere.Many little devils felt that the Eighth Route Army on the mountain would suffer heavy losses.

Even if the Eighth Route Army should have built anti-artillery holes, but in the face of the bombing of aerial bombs, I believe that some anti-artillery holes will not be able to withstand it.But the little devil did not expect that the main division under He Zhengdao's command had professional engineering troops.

To a large extent, these engineering units also serve as the supply units of the main force.When it comes to building fortifications, they are all pioneers who specialize in digging anti-artillery potholes, and the trenches on the positions are in charge of the main force.

Some steel seized from Duolun, including some big trees felled, will be used by the engineering troops to build anti-gun holes.In addition, most of the places where potholes are selected to be excavated have a certain thickness of the mountain, so it is not easy to blow them up.

But the little devils at the bottom of the mountain didn't know this. As the bombers left, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were staying in the pits quickly got out of the anti-aircraft pits and hurriedly repaired the fortifications under the urging of the company platoon leader.

Every soldier of the main force carries a multifunctional engineering shovel.With this kind of engineering shovel, it is undoubtedly much easier to repair this kind of collapsed fortification.

As for the little devil infantry at the foot of the mountain, who were already preparing to charge, the machine gunners and snipers were also in charge.This division of labor on the battlefield is very clear to every soldier, and they all know what they are responsible for.

Facing the little devil infantry who launched the charge, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were in charge of blocking them were very calm.Even at this time, the little devil started shelling again from the rear, but most of the shells hit the rear of the front of the position.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army deployed in the first position were quite sure that the little devil's shells would not hit their trenches so accurately.As long as it is not a heavy artillery shell, the 75-caliber shell is not very powerful.

Unless the shells fell into the trenches, or the Eighth Route Army soldiers standing in the trenches, they would not suffer too much damage.What's more, it is inevitable that there will be casualties in the war. If you are really going to be bombed, you can only say that you are not very lucky.

Seeing the little devil's attacking infantry, many grenadiers began to set up grenadiers.The commander who commanded the snipers on the ground also said in a timely manner: "First kill the grenadiers of the little devil, and then focus on shooting the officer and machine gunner of the little devil!"

This kind of sniper tactic is no longer a new tactic for snipers.As the arsenal has been able to produce scopes by itself, the proportion of sniper rifles issued by the Eighth Route Army is not low.

As the main division under He Zhengdao's command, each regiment has hundreds of professionally trained snipers.The existence of these snipers undoubtedly increased the casualty rate of the little devils, and they played a greater role in defensive operations.

Most of the grenades used by the little devil have a range of about 300 meters.At this distance, it is difficult for rifles and machine guns to shoot accurately.But as far as the range of the sniper rifle is concerned, it is undoubtedly within the effective range.

With the firing of the sniper team on the position, the grenadiers fell to the ground one after another in the Japanese team responsible for the attack.Seeing this scene, many of the attacking little devils felt a little surprised.

The Japanese military officers in charge of organizing the attack couldn't help but said, "Well, there are so many sharpshooters on the Eighth Route?"

From the point of view of the little devil Sergeant Cao, being able to accurately hit these grenadiers from 300 meters away, marksmanship is naturally first-class.But they don't know that such a distance is undoubtedly an easy thing for snipers.

The Japanese infantry walking in front watched the grenadiers behind them who had provided them with fire cover were killed one after another.This also means that when they attack next, it may be difficult to enjoy the firepower of the grenadiers.

Without the cover of grenadiers, the machine guns deployed by the Eighth Route Army on the ground will also exert great lethality.Thinking of this, some Japanese infantrymen seemed a little hesitant when they charged.

The grenadiers who had finished killing the little devils, and those low-level officers who carried machine guns and were in charge of commanding, quickly became the next key targets of the snipers.The deaths of these people undoubtedly exacerbated the chaos in the Japanese offensive formation.

Compared with the previous attack, they were not blocked by the Eighth Route Army at all, and they were bombed at the front of the position.Now he has finally rushed to the forward position of the Eighth Route Army, but he is under the merciless shooting of the Eighth Route Army snipers.

Just when the attacking Japanese infantry seemed a little at a loss.The Eighth Route Army machine gunners who had set up their machine guns and were ready to shoot soon heard the order to fire from their respective commanders.

The roar of machine guns made the Japanese infantry rushing to the position fall to the ground in pieces.The head of the Japanese brigade, who was watching the battle from the rear, was undoubtedly shocked and collapsed when he saw this scene of massacre.

He shouted directly: "Baga, why don't our machine guns provide fire cover? What about the grenadiers? Why don't they blow up the opponent's machine guns? How does Ono Jiro, the captain, command the battle?"

Just when the head of the Japanese brigade jumped violently, the head of the Japanese brigade in charge of the attack did not dare to look up at all.If the soldiers around him hadn't blocked him before, he might have fallen under the sniper's gunpoint long ago.

Faced with the scene where the attacking troops were ruthlessly shot by the Eighth Route Army, Ono Jiro was also bleeding.Quickly said: "Blow the horn and order the troops to retreat! Damn it, how could the Eighth Route Army be so strong?"

In Ono Jiro's view, there is no problem with his offensive deployment.It's just the first time to fight against the troops under He Zhengdao's command, and I didn't expect the group in the defensive position to be so powerful.

From the number of machine guns of the Eighth Route Army on the position, plus the shooting level of the Eighth Route Army riflemen.Jiro Ono felt that the enemy he was attacking was not the Eighth Route Army that could not be defeated and ran away in his impression, but the Kwantung Army, which was more elite than them.

On the contrary, they turned into incompetent puppet troops. In front of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they had no power to fight back.If you continue to attack, it will only increase the fearless casualties of the troops.If we don't withdraw at this time, when will we wait?

Without consulting the brigade commander, the infantry captain directly gave the order to retreat.Seeing the attacking troops crazily retreating from the position, the head of the Japanese brigade who had been watching the battle was undoubtedly blown away.

After all, if they miss this excellent offensive opportunity, it will undoubtedly become more difficult for them to attack the defensive positions of the Eighth Route Army.Therefore, as soon as the infantry brigade withdrew to a safe area, the head of the Japanese brigade came to the door in person.

Seeing Jiro Ono with a dejected expression on his face, the head of the Japanese brigade rushed forward and slapped him twice, shouting: "Baga! Are you still an officer of the empire? Why did you miss such a good opportunity to attack? Incompetent, I will shoot you !"

Ono Jiro, who had to stand still after being slapped twice, also said aggrievedly: "General, I will bear the corresponding responsibility for the failure of this attack. But please listen to my explanation, General, there is a reason why I ordered the retreat.

These Eighth Route Army are completely different from the Eighth Route Army we have encountered before.And the most incredible thing is that they had no losses at all in the previous bombing, and they organized a counterattack very quickly.

During the attack, our grenadiers had no chance to set up the grenadiers. Even our machine gunners, sergeants and lieutenants in charge suffered heavy casualties.They deployed a large number of sharpshooters on the ground.

Without any fire cover, our large-scale attack would have no effect in front of the opponent's machine guns.In order to avoid greater casualties, I ordered the troops to retreat.General, these eight ways are really extraordinary! "

'idiot!You are an officer of the empire, how can you say such incompetent words?Are you making excuses for your incompetence? '

For the head of the Japanese brigade, the failure of two successive attacks undoubtedly made him furious.Naturally, he did not want to believe Jiro Ono's explanation.After all, he felt that no matter how strong the Eighth Route Army's fighting power was, it would not be much stronger than them!

Right now they are a mixed brigade, attacking the position guarded by a regiment of the Eighth Route Army.If they can't be defeated, then what about recovering Duolun?That is simply wishful thinking!

But just at this moment, several lieutenants of the infantry brigade retreated down the mountain also came over at the right time and said: "General, what Captain Ono said is true. We are the only officers left in our entire brigade. "

As soon as this remark came out, let alone the head of the Japanese brigade was stunned, even the commander of the brigade who followed him was also dumbfounded.An infantry brigade, not to mention too many officers, at least how many assistant officers are there, right?

But in front of them, there is only one lieutenant among these lieutenants, and the others are all second lieutenants.This means that the officers at the captain level of the entire infantry brigade may all be killed in battle.Such an officer casualty rate seems too alarming.

After the chief of staff of the brigade made some statistics on the casualties of the infantry brigade, he found that what Jiro Ono said was right.All the grenadiers and machine gunners of this infantry brigade were killed in battle, even the deputies arranged were also killed.

Remembering that when they were watching the battle, the grenadiers and machine guns of the infantry brigade never fired at all, and they finally believed what Ono Jiro said.The Eighth Route Army they met in front of them is really different!

Most importantly, the infantry brigade responsible for the attack, even if it retreated in time.However, less than half of the troops that actually retreated to a safe zone remained.This means that in just a few minutes of the previous attack, half of the infantry brigade was gone.

In addition to the attack in the early morning, nearly a thousand troops were lost.Before they could attack the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army, the strength of an infantry brigade was gone.Such a heavy loss has never been experienced by a mixed brigade.

Faced with such a cruel reality, the brigade commanders who were full of confidence before also began to have a headache.Continue to attack like this, I'm afraid it won't help.Filling in the entire mixed brigade may not be able to capture the opponent's first blocking position! (To be continued.)

Chapter 70 Dastardly Offensive Tactics!

Looking at the infantry brigade with only a few officers left, even the angry Japanese brigade commander knew that the brigade commander who ordered the retreat had done nothing wrong.If you want to blame, you can only blame them for greatly underestimating the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.

The brigade commander who personally inspected the bodies of the dead officers and technical soldiers saw that most of these officers and soldiers had only received a fatal bullet.I also know in my heart that there are really a lot of marksmen on the Eighth Route Army's positions.

Or to be precise, it should be a sniper.A pure sharpshooter, if he didn't use a special sniper rifle, probably wouldn't be able to shoot with such precision.After all, most of the grenadiers were killed 300 meters away.
