Tactics change as the battle situation changes.
Hearing the gunshots coming from the most remote high ground 500 meters away, Lao Hei instantly judged that most of the Japanese troops must have gathered there, and there was no need to hoard such a large number of troops in the other highlands.
He immediately blew the iron whistle and notified the soldiers from the two highland guard platoons closest to him to join him, leaving only the Sichuan troops to guard the high ground.
It was difficult to go up the mountain, but it was easy to go down the mountain. After receiving the message from their platoon leader, the soldiers of the guard platoon picked up their submachine guns and ran all the way. A total of thirteen people only took three minutes to complete the assembly, and then took 15 minutes to arrive near the battlefield.
At this time, the Jingan Army was holding on against the constant grenades being dropped from the top of the mountain.
Lao Hei did not immediately lead his troops to the battlefield, but ordered everyone to rest for three minutes before quietly walking around to the side of the high ground in the forest.
In order not to alarm the Jingan Army, Lao Hei did not even blow the iron whistle to notify his own people on the high ground. He believed that his subordinates would understand his tactical intentions if they saw their dark blue figures.
Since these two Japs are so stubborn, he should let them be as tough as possible this time.
The mountains in southern Anhui are still not as fertile as Jiangnan, and the mountains and forests are not as dense as there. These guys can be used to fertilize the land.
Lao Hei waited until the Jingan Army threw grenades and a large group of people began to attack violently, and then he personally led his twelve guard platoons to shoot.
For Jing'an Army, that was terrible.
The density of bullets ejected by the concentrated fire of the thirteen submachine guns was not the same as that of the four guns on the high ground, and it was also their flank that was caught off guard.
Because on the flanks, the twelve guard soldiers led by Lao Hei were actually fifty meters away from the Jingan Army, and they were somewhat covered by dense forests and shrubs. The stunned Jingan Army couldn't help but lie down again.
Only in this way can we withstand such terrible firepower.
There were even many soldiers from the Jing'an Army who raised their rifles and started shooting at the flanks. The bullets also hit Lao Hei's side and sent pieces of wood flying everywhere.
The twelve men led by Lao Hei did not have as complete fortifications as on the highlands. One of them was immediately hit by a bullet and fell to the ground with a groan.
One can imagine the ferociousness of the Jing'an Army's gang of Japanese devils.
However, the counterattack on the high ground also arrived, and more than a dozen grenades were thrown down. The Sichuan Army soldiers, who had become more and more skillful with the grenade delay, never gave the Jing'an Army a chance to roll to avoid the grenades.
The explosion simply exploded in the air, causing the Jingan troops who were only twenty or thirty meters away from the high ground to howl like ghosts.
But this is not their last nightmare.
The Chinese who had just beaten them into dogs with submachine guns were also able to throw grenades.
But that was more than fifty meters away! Even if it was for the sake of condescension, if you look at the impact point of the bullet thrown in the middle of the line of soldiers, the distance is almost eighty or ninety meters.
But, it's true.
This is Lao Hei's unique skill in settling down his family.
On flat ground, his best throw can reach 70 meters away. In this condescending environment, it is normal for Lao Hei to throw at 80 or 90 meters with all his strength.
It's not scary to throw a grenade far or accurately. After all, only Lao Hei has this ability. Even if the twelve guard platoon soldiers give him all the 24 grenades they carry, what can he do?
Can one grenade kill an enemy?
But it happened that the grenade thrown by Lao Hei from a distance blew up the last tenacity of the Jingan army to pieces, or to be more precise, the six-second delay of the grenade became the last straw that broke the camel's back in Jingan.
.
The speed of grenades flying in the air is only more than ten meters per second. Six seconds is just enough time for these black lumps, which are made of wooden handles, iron bodies and 400 grams of explosives, to fly to the top of the heads of the Jing'an Army.
Before they even had time to break the branches, the black lumps were laughing and blooming with their last glory in the air.
One, two, or three air-burst bombs that are just above the head and can happily pierce shrapnel into the body without any prostrate posture can still be tolerated. After all, it is a probability that it will fall on one's head, but almost everyone can bear it.
If everyone is like this, the human psychology will no longer be able to bear it.
After ten clouds of gunpowder smoke exploded in the air, the psychological defenses of the Jingan troops collapsed completely, and they rolled and crawled downwards. Even if their captain and company commander kept roaring from behind, they didn't care.
If I want to beat you, I won't just lie down and get bombed. God knows how many grenades those Sichuan people have? This may be the simplest psychological activity of the soldiers of the Jing'an Army who are escaping.
"Kill!" Lao Hei and the sergeant on the high ground ordered the pursuit at the same time.
The intensity of firepower far exceeding that of the enemy and the momentum of the victory-carrying attack was like a tiger descending from the mountain. This was destined to be a victory without any suspense.
Along the mountain, they chased the remnants of the Jingan Army for almost 150 meters before Lao Hei blew the iron whistle to signal the soldiers to return.
At this point in the battle, ammunition was used up, and the soldiers' physical fitness was on the verge of reaching its limit. If any soldiers who were shot needed medical treatment, Lao Hei seemed to be very familiar with controlling such a small battlefield.
At the battle summary meeting after the war, Tang Dao also specifically praised the Lao Hei Guard Platoon for their blocking battle in the forest.
Not because of his strong performance, relying on a high ground with only 12 people, Lao Hei led half of the guard platoon and killed more than 90 people of the Jing'an Army, while only 6 of his own people were slightly injured and two were seriously injured.
It's not that the tactics used were so clever. First, they dispersed the attack, and then mobilized troops to quickly support according to the situation. In the middle, there was a wonderful scene of leaving traps and killing more than ten grenadier soldiers.
Rather, Lao Hei did not rush forward in an attempt to defeat the retreating infantry company of the Jing'an Army.
The Jingan Army was really not that bad. It was later proven that the iron-headed company commander of the unit actually left a way out for himself. Only 4 of the 6 light machine guns owned by his infantry company were dispatched from the beginning to the end.
, and two light machine guns were left about 300 meters behind him, and the last infantry squad was also sent to guard the foot of the mountain.
Firstly, it is to prevent others from taking the retreat, and secondly, it is to provide cover for oneself. If the battle situation is unfavorable for retreating and the enemy comes to pursue, the two light machine guns ambushed at the foot of the mountain will fire at once, which can at least stop the enemy.
The footsteps of the military pursuit.
Obviously, if Lao Hei was a little greedy, two light machine guns and an infantry squad that had already found a bunker would definitely make him pay the price in blood.
Fortunately, he is wise enough.
After this battle, no one was dissatisfied with Lao Hei, the guard platoon leader.
On any other battlefield, no one has fought a battle with nearly zero casualties like his, and this was even with a one-to-two troop strength comparison.
Compared to the right-wing blockade that lasted almost an hour led by Lao Hei himself, the left-wing side was actually much more relaxed.
After suppressing it with a submachine gun and throwing grenades wildly, the Jing'an troops fired a symbolic burst of fire and then voluntarily evacuated.
Unlike the right wing, which had as many as 90 corpses of Japanese soldiers that could be used as fertile ground, the less enterprising Jing'an Army took away all the wounded and corpses, and could not count their military exploits, but they successfully completed their tactical objectives.
After this battle, the entire guard platoon only lost one person. The two Sichuan Army platoons lost one person in total, and 6 people were scratched by shrapnel. Even the medicine packs were not wasted. They just used the Yunnan Baiyao powder specially purchased before departure.
become.
The victory achieved by the pure light infantry on both wings of the Chinese main position was even more stunning than the field of corpses in front of the main position.
This news almost shocked the Sichuan troops in the central main position. Damn it, the most powerful of these brothers is not here yet! With a group of guys who are almost at the same level as themselves, they can do such a good job.
His record is so impressive!
For the Jing'an Army, which was watching eagerly in front of the main formation, this was bad news.
The plan to bypass the two wings was ruined. If we wanted to conquer the position in front of us, we would have to rely on human lives.
"Order to the front line, retreat first!" Li Shoushan, whose face was ashen as he kept receiving news from the front line, finally issued the military order.
The Jing'an Army heaved a sigh of relief, and even Hideka Ishiwata, a pure Japanese, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He is the master. The Jingan Army, including Li Shoushan, is just a vicious dog raised by the empire. He doesn't care how many Jingan Army die. But he is the military advisor of the First Brigade of the Jingan Army. Can he defeat the Chinese?
The position is where his responsibility lies.
Ten kilometers away, Lord Kunizaki, who was waiting for them to conquer the position in one go, was still waiting for his good news!
Such an iron-headed attack has no other effect except increasing casualties in vain. The First Brigade of the Jing'an Army must change its strategy.
