Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

Regarding the Japanese 26th Cavalry Regiment, Zhu Haipeng, commander of the 2nd Regiment, assigned the blocking task to the 4th Battalion.

The battalion commander's name is Lande Qi. This is a combined battalion with five mechanized infantry companies, an artillery company, a support company, and a logistics support company.

There are about 700 people in the whole camp. These 700 people are all trained and qualified veterans.

Those recruits who have not been trained or whose grades are temporarily unqualified are incorporated into the support battalion.

Even when they arrive at the support camp, these soldiers can't do any job.

Such as battlefield rescue, demining, bridge building and other professional work. These also require training to be competent, and the requirements are even higher than those of the synthetic camp.

All require a high level of education to be competent.

It is no longer an era when you can be healthy, full of enthusiasm, sign up, and get a gun and go to the battlefield.

They can only help transport supplies and do some moving and lifting work.

Take the opportunity to exercise and watch others fight.

Just study when you have nothing to do. The textbooks from elementary school to high school are enough to study for a while.

Even full-time students have to study for 12 years, not to mention they can only study in their spare time!

A battalion of 700 men, relying on advanced and powerful equipment, can compete with Jiang Wufa's division in a blocking battle. Even worse.

But if they were to attack the city, their numbers would be too thin. The captured areas must be garrisoned, and if you randomly divide them into a few groups, there will be no one left.

At that time, it was necessary to add several companies to the combined battalion to become a regiment-level force.

However, the total number of such a regiment is about one or two thousand, not a regiment of more than 6000 people like the independent brigade's combined regiment.

The 4th Battalion faced the incomplete 26th Cavalry Regiment, and it was more than enough to block them.

If the 26th Cavalry Regiment were not followed by the 21st and 35th Divisions, Rand Qi would have thought of eating the 26th Japanese Cavalry Regiment.

This is not the case now. Lande Qi was not so arrogant as to attempt to defeat the Japanese with one battalion and two divisions.

Landeqi arranged for the 1st company to block the front, the 2nd company on the left, and the 3rd company on the right to build a position to form a crossfire.

The 4th Company is responsible for dealing with individual Japanese who sneak in or try to get around from both sides by climbing over mountains and ridges.

The 5th company is the reserve team.

The position is outside the village, with a total of three lines of defense set up. Although the defense line will be longer outside the village, it can reduce the damage caused by Japanese artillery fire to the houses in the village.

After the war, these occupied areas do not want to be given away. If they need to be transferred someday, they will be handed over to the local armed forces. We should try to preserve as many houses, roads and other facilities as possible. In the future, these will be our own.

The closer to the front, the lower the personnel density. However, the firepower is deployed forward, and the infantry fighting vehicles are arranged as far forward as possible to serve as fixed firepower points.

Under certain circumstances, these "fixed firepower points" can also be moved to pursue retreating Japanese soldiers.

The first goal of the 4th Battalion in this battle is to control casualties within 70 people, which is less than 10%; the second goal is to annihilate more than [-] enemy soldiers.

This is Commander Zhu’s basic requirement for the 4th Battalion.

The requirements of the 4th Battalion Commander for his own battalion were: as long as the Japanese did not escape, they would kill as many as they came; his own casualties should be less than 20.

The captain of the 26th Cavalry Regiment is Weiping Erhei.

Still two kilometers away from the 4th Battalion's position, the beasts of the 26th Cavalry Regiment dismounted and walked another kilometer.

I heard from the Fourth Division of Huashui County of the 33rd Division that the Eighth Route Army snipers were extremely accurate and could hit a person's thumb from 900 meters away.

Of course, this was exaggerated by the commander of the 33rd Division. In fact, that shot was just luck. Weiping Erhei didn't know about this. He also thought that the weapons used by our army's snipers were so accurate that they spread out over a quarter of a coin at a distance of one thousand meters.

Therefore, it judged that the interval between one and two kilometers was unsafe. Hitting the head isn't a big deal.

Therefore, Wei Ping Er Hei allows the beasts to leap forward step by step relying on the cover.

Now Weiping was hiding behind a big rock and didn't even dare to use the periscope, let alone show his head. I have long heard that the artillery of the Independence Brigade can hit very far and very accurately.

Even hiding behind a big rock, it is still uneasy.

Others use sniper guns, but the independent brigade uses artillery!

He was particularly afraid of being shot by the independent brigade.

Wei Ping Erhei ordered to a team leader: "Kuroda-kun, your team sent three top soldiers to test. The three top soldiers are more than 10 meters apart. Act immediately!"

"Roms!"

Kuroda did not dare to neglect, and pointed to the three soldiers cautiously: "You, you, and you." After speaking, he made a forward gesture.

The tactics are still the same as before: let a few elite soldiers test, wait for our army's heavy firepower to open fire, find out the location of our army's heavy firepower, and then use artillery bombardment to clear these firepower points.

But it forgot one thing: what it faced was not the Eighth Route Army two years ago; nor was it the army of Jiang Wufa or Yan Tuhuang.

It faced the 2th Combined Battalion of the 4nd Combined Regiment of the Independent Brigade, which was armed to the teeth!

Some soldiers are equipped with QBU-401 precision rifles, equipped with 3 to 9 times variable scopes.

The most important thing is that the scope is also equipped with a small arms intelligent fire control system.

With it, as long as you hold the gun steadily enough without excessive interference factors, you can become an excellent shooter.

The three Japs only tested the locations of three rifles.

In fact, only three to four soldiers showed their heads in the entire position. The rest of the soldiers were hiding in gun-proof holes in the trenches.

Captain Kuroda looked at Wei Ping Er Hei and seemed to be asking for instructions with his eyes: "Boss, are you still going to use artillery bombardment next? Only three rifles were tested."

Of course, you can't use artillery. At this time, if you fire the artillery and knock out three of the opponent's rifles, your own artillery position will be exposed.

"Baga, three top soldiers are not enough! Kuroda-kun, all your squads go out, spread out, pay attention to anti-cannons, and bring three recoilless rifles. I will have people use direct-fire infantry cannons to cover you."

"Roms!"

"Inoue-kun, your team is covered by 3 direct-firing infantry guns. Change positions after each gun fires 3 shots!"

"Roms!"

Team Kuroda and Inoue faithfully carried out their mission.

This time, more Japanese came up, about 70 of them.

Clearing it with a rifle is too slow, and the other party dares to fire at my forward position.

Our army immediately used a 120mm self-propelled howitzer to fire back.

Within a minute, each gun carriage fired five shots. A total of 5 howitzer shells were fired at these 60 Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese are indeed scattered, but they can't hold up too many shells!

In an instant, only 70 of the 10 Japs were seriously injured and fell to the ground. They were gasping, twisting and screaming on the spot, and the rest were all smashed to pieces. Kuroda was also among those who were shattered.

Next, before they had time to move their positions, the 12 artillerymen and three mortars of Inoue's team were also shot to pieces by artillery shells.

Each combined battalion has at least one 120mm mortar battery. The company has a total of 120 self-propelled 12mm mortars.

Its command and control system is very easy to use. It can hit when it stops and run away after the hit.

Wei Ping and Er Hei were half surprised and half happy when they saw this.

I was shocked because I didn’t expect the casualties to be so heavy and so fast! In less than ten minutes, nearly one-tenth of the tiles were broken!

How many times can this alliance withstand ten minutes?

What I'm happy about is that I finally tested out my opponent's firepower.
