Rise From Eight Hundred

The soldiers of the Second Company of the Independent Battalion used the battlefield to demonstrate a cruel and vivid teaching lesson to the Sichuan Army hiding in the second-line trenches.

There was no consumption of a large number of submachine guns and Mauser pistol bullets to suppress the advance of the Japanese army, but the most accurate single-shot cold shooting with rifles.

With the whistling of heavy machine gun bullets above their heads and at the front of the trenches, the veteran shooters who returned from the bloody battlefield were as cold as a machine, lying on the battle position, pulling the bolt, shooting, and then pulling the bolt again, shooting

Until a magazine was emptied, retreating into the trench, running in the trench with a crouched waist, and then continuing to aim at the target they had chosen at another battle position that had been selected long ago, waiting for the prey to take the bait and then kill it.

Ordinary infantrymen did not waste bullets by firing, but if the Jing'an Army tried to move forward, when they were about 40 meters away from the position, the dense fire net formed by submachine guns and Mauser pistols would pin the active Jing'an Army infantrymen to the ground. If there were no sufficient cover or if they accidentally raised their buttocks a little higher, congratulations, you would no longer be qualified to raise your buttocks.

The Jing'an Army had actually used all their strength.

Not only did they use almost all the heavy machine guns, but they also exposed the four mountain cannons, a powerful weapon that had been hidden all along, and blew the area where the mortar position was located into a sea of ​​fire.

The firepower of more than ten heavy machine guns reorganized was not without fierceness. The temporary bunkers with more than ten light machine guns two or three hundred meters behind were also not without effort. The grenade launchers were hiding 400 meters away, throwing grenades to the trenches with all their might. Not to mention that the first-line trenches were blown up by bullets and grenades, not many people dared to boldly show their heads to observe the battlefield.

Several Sichuan soldiers were injured by stray bullets and shrapnel from exploding grenades because they were too absorbed in watching. In the end, the battalion commander had to order everyone not to lie down on the battle position before receiving the combat order in order to avoid unnecessary losses.

But even so, they could not stop the cold guns shot from all over the trenches. In a quarter of an hour, not many corpses and wounded were dragged back, and the number of soldiers who fell on the battlefield was twice the number of "recovered" and turned around.

The front-line commander of the Jing'an Army was not a fool. After discovering this situation, he immediately understood that this was not caused by the opposite defenders unintentionally, but that this was originally a conspiracy and trap.

If he continued to fight with this tactic, it would take less than half an hour for the two infantry companies he had deployed to be completely consumed by the well-equipped and tactically changeable Sichuan Army defenders on the opposite side.

It was obviously difficult to change the current battlefield situation by suppressing with machine guns alone. He wanted to ask Li Shoushan in the rear to temporarily stop the attack and withdraw the front-line troops 200 meters away, and then bombard with artillery first, and then organize an attack.

But what made him painful was that in the previous wave of attacks, at least hundreds of wounded were still lying on the battlefield. If the four mountain cannons were used, it was estimated that those wounded would not have to waste medicine.

His own soldiers turned out to be the amulets of the Chinese. This outcome was really too unexpected.

Since the artillery could not be relied on for the time being, the main attack direction would have to pay huge casualties to play the Japanese's long live charge, but obviously, Li Shoushan would never agree to this iron-headed approach, otherwise he could only think of another way. The major commander of the Jing'an Army ordered the front-line troops to retreat slowly while looking a thousand meters away.

If the infantry companies attacking from the left and right wings can break through and gain a foothold on the mountain, the extremely embarrassing situation may change.

It is normal to have such an idea on the battlefield. If the center fails to break through, they will rely on the two wings. The Chinese army has only so many troops. It is already stretched to defend a defense line of nearly a thousand meters. How many troops can they deploy on the two wings?

The reason why the Japanese Army wrote the two-wing flanking attack into the Army Manual is that they have repeatedly taken advantage of the Chinese Army in this kind of positional attack and defense battle. The main force of the defenders was firmly dragged down by the central offensive. Although it is time-consuming and laborious to bypass the two wings, as long as a breakthrough is opened, the entire defense line will collapse like soup poured on snow.

The Jing'an Army, which was taught by the Japanese Army, of course copied it. In the battle to eliminate the anti-Japanese guerrillas in the three northeastern provinces, this tactic was repeatedly successful because of the complete inequality of equipment and manpower.

But this time, the opponent encountered by the Jing'an Army was not comparable to the guerrillas with only box guns.

What they encountered was not only the regular army, but also veterans who had experience in street fighting in the Battle of Songjiang, and Chinese veterans with sufficient experience and excellent equipment.

Although the guard platoon was divided into two, the dense firepower formed instantly by the twenty submachine guns alone was enough to scare any company-level troops.

The platoon leader of the special agent company's guard platoon was none other than Lao Hei, one of the three infantry squad leaders who followed Tang Dao at the beginning.

Among the three infantry squad leaders under Tang Dao at the beginning, although Li Jiujin was a little cunning, his battlefield experience was unmatched, and he became more and more determined as the battle progressed, so he was also the most valued by Tang Dao and promoted to company commander all the way;

Liu Datou had the strongest comprehensive ability, but he died early in the battle of Sihang Warehouse, which made Tang Dao extremely regretful; and as the second squad leader, Lao Hei's progress was a little slower. He was promoted from sergeant to second lieutenant deputy platoon leader at Sihang Warehouse, and then from second lieutenant to lieutenant in Jiaxing, almost on the same level as Niu Er, Yang Xiaoshan and others who were originally just small radish heads.

However, after Jiaxing was reorganized into an independent battalion, no one dared to underestimate him as a lieutenant. Instead of being an infantry platoon leader or a deputy company commander, he was directly promoted by Tang Dao to be the platoon leader of the guard platoon.

The importance of being the platoon leader of the guard platoon of the guard battalion is self-evident. The daily contact with several officers of the battalion paved the way for promotion.

The last platoon leader of the guard platoon, Zhao Daqiang, was promoted to the commander of the fourth company after only half a month. Not to mention Lao Hei, an old man who originally followed Tang Dao. Once the independent battalion is expanded again, a captain company commander will not be able to escape.

However, whether in Baihe Port or Jiaxing, Lao Hei, who is best at throwing grenades, has not performed very well. Many people subconsciously believe that Lao Hei can serve as the platoon leader of the guard platoon of Tang Dao mainly because he is an old man, and trust is the most critical factor.

Then this roundabout battle against the Jing'an Army on the left and right wings is Lao Hei's proof of himself. He relies not only on Tang Dao's trust in him.

After several bloody battles, Lao Hei is not as reckless as when he first met Tang Dao. The departure of his cousin and comrades-in-arms one after another made him silent and introverted. His combat style is no longer as sharp as before, and his tactical arrangements are very stable.

He directly divided the guard platoon into two groups, with 18 people led by him and 20 people led by the deputy platoon leader and the first squad leader, each with a Sichuan Army infantry platoon.

He did not blindly look for the Jing'an Army infantry company in the mountains and forests, and then deploy the defense line according to the enemy's movements. Instead, he deployed defenses on the high ground in a one-to-two ratio of four submachine gunners to eight Sichuan Army soldiers according to the undulating terrain.

The straight-line distance between each high ground will not exceed 150 meters, which is to ensure that two high grounds can support each other.

The four high grounds that are almost lined up in a row have a defensive area of ​​600 meters in this mountain forest, and the observation distance is 1,000 meters. Even if the Jing'an Army is more patient and would rather travel a long distance to cross the farther mountains and forests, these four high grounds can fully protect the flanks.

On the other side, the same is true. On the two sides of the mountains nearly a thousand meters away from the central main position, more than 100 soldiers use small high ground to firmly guard the two wings of the main position.

Lao Hei faithfully implemented Tang Dao's strategic intention. The central position was the main position to attack the Jing'an Army, and the role of the two wings was only to protect. As long as they could block the enemy's peak, it would be fine. How many people could be killed was secondary.

All tactics must ultimately serve the strategy.

Lao Hei did a good job in this regard. He did not seek fighters to annihilate more enemies for the sake of so-called military merits.

Defending the left and right wings of the main position was a military merit.

As for whether the Japanese artillery would pose a threat to these small positions, that would be unless the Jing'an Army infantry company that was bypassing the two wings carried long-range walkie-talkies with them, and could provide coordinates at any time to call their own artillery for attack.

This configuration was not a new thing in the future. Not to mention calling for artillery bombardment, even helicopters, fighters, missiles, and laser-guided bombs could be called in through satellite positioning.

But for the Japanese at this time, they probably never dreamed that there was such an awesome tactic.

At this time, the Japanese army and their vassal army also relied on their bodies to resist. The reason why they beat the Chinese army back again and again was that their cannons, aircraft and ships were much stronger than China at that time. If they were really pulled to the Western battlefield, their semi-mechanized and mule-equipped army would be just that bird.

In the next few years, will the Chinese army equipped with US standard equipment not make the Japanese piss and piss in the tropical rain forest of the southwest?

After arranging the position, Lao Hei himself took two guard platoon soldiers and four Sichuan soldiers to lie down in an area he chose and observe the entire dense forest from a high position.

He was not responsible for blocking, but for supporting the high ground according to the battle situation.

Don't underestimate the seven people he led. The seven people had 3 submachine guns and 4 rifles. The most important thing is that each of them carried several grenades.

The Chinese soldiers were basically on the mountains, while the Jing'an Army went from the bottom to the top, and threw the grenades they carried from a high position, which was equivalent to more than 20 small artillery shells.

However, the dense forest blocked the telescope's view. The more than 100 Jing'an troops who entered the dense forest were like water sprinkled into the desert, and could not be seen at all.

500 meters away from Lao Hei, gunshots suddenly rang out.

The expected battle broke out! ...
