Chapter 72 Outflanking
The squadron leader said that on the battlefield, you must first fight the Japanese on horseback, who are senior officers, and then fight the Japanese with knives and machine gunners. The Japanese machine gunners are too accurate and pose a great threat. Of course, you can also fight if you have the ability.
Grenadier soldiers, those things are also a big threat, but the Japanese grenade soldiers are usually deployed two hundred meters away, so it is not easy to hit them.
There was a gunshot, and the bullets flew towards the target area, but they didn't hit any targets at all. Although he was considered a veteran, if you think about it seriously, he didn't shoot many bullets. His shooting skills can't be said to be accurate. He wanted to hit the target while he was traveling.
The target was still a bit difficult for him. When the Japanese heard the sound of gunfire, they immediately dispersed and looked for a nearby bunker to hide.
"Boom...boom..." The explosions continued.
Cui Liangfang was secretly stunned. This kid is really evil. In the words of the squadron leader, landmines must be buried in hidden places. It is right to leave this job to Cui Jiawang. He is very good at hiding.
The little devils' tactical literacy is too high. Once they are attacked, they will definitely hide in a hiding place.
The grenades made in the border area are not powerful enough and the killing radius is too small. As long as they are not directly in the center, if you react quickly and you are lucky, you may be able to dodge them.
And if they couldn't be killed by lying directly on top of the mines, the military engineers of the Eighth Route Army would be ashamed to death.
Cui Liangfang silently felt a cold sweat that did not exist. Sometimes it is not good to have too much combat experience. He can always find the most advantageous hiding spots in an instant, and those hiding spots are all laid with mines.
Cui Jiawang was really a talent as the squadron leader said. He had accurately figured out the enemy's hiding spot. Cui Liangfang's shot frightened the enemy into hastily escaping and stepped on a landmine, killing and injuring more than ten people.
Now Cui Liangfang suddenly became more courageous. Seeing the Japanese dispersed in formation and left the path to outflank them at the foot of the mountain, he was no longer so timid and began to calmly direct everyone to open fire.
Cui Liangfang and the others fought lively, but the Wangcai duo who were protecting the flanks each took cover and still did not fire. Although they were holding the same 38 caps as the Japanese, they were deeply impressed by Zhang Zhuang's blocking battle last time.
The performance of the same gun in their hands is completely different from that in the hands of the Japs. The Japs' accuracy is too good. The further the distance, the more disadvantages they suffer, so they can only get closer. Even novices will not miss the target if they are close, so both sides are more accurate.
It's on a level line.
The sudden explosions caused the Japanese to panic for a while. The Japanese's tactical prowess and discipline were no joke, and they quickly stopped panicking.
Originally, the Japanese wanted to counterattack and suppress them on the spot, but these enemies were too cunning. The shooting position should have been taken care of. It was very concealed, in a good position, and at a high place. Although they could lock the position, they could not see the target clearly.
You can only fight back in a general direction, which is very depressing. Even if you are a sharpshooter, it will be useless.
Judging from the sound of gunfire, there were not many enemies, but they could only rely on blindfolding to shoot, but the other party could fire back accurately, which was frightening. This was definitely not a guerrilla, but a real veteran of the regular army.
The battle situation instantly turned into a stalemate. The Wangcai duo who were hiding could only look at each other blankly. How did these damn Japs become such bears? Five people withstood more than 40 Japs. What?
It feels so unreal.
Little did they know that with sufficient ammunition, complete fortifications, and favorable terrain, the Eighth Route Army could also resist the Japanese attack with more troops and fewer troops.
The Japs at the foot of the mountain were suppressed for a while. Of course, they were just suppressed. The Japs were not fools. This group of enemies had the advantage of the terrain. Naturally, they would not rush forward stupidly. Although they were demoralized, they
Don't be discouraged.
Judging from the sound of gunfire, there were probably only five or six people there. They were there for reinforcements, and it was impossible to withdraw at the drop of a hat. However, a forceful attack was not cost-effective, and launching an attack on the high ground would be a risk to one's life.
Captain Arai chose the latter between saving other people's lives and risking his own life. Alas, no, he didn't choose either. He chose to save his own life first. Only when he was stupid would he choose for others.
You risked your own life. Now that there are casualties on our side, we can't finish it. Let's play slowly. We have to extract you. Otherwise, where will the face and military power of the imperial army be?
As for the rescue? We are not blocked. How can we go to the rescue without destroying the enemy who is blocking the rescue? As for the ineffective fighting and the desperate assault? I am blind, our casualties of more than ten are fake. Do we have to be crushed to death before we can all be called out?
With all our strength, according to this logic, the reason why China was not occupied was because everyone here did not fight to the death and was not crushed to pieces, which led to the current stalemate.
Captain Arai chose Mingzhe to protect himself, but he was also determined that the group of enemies in front of him must also be eliminated. If you kill or injure your subordinates, then you will be spared and your blood will be paid in blood.
Hideo Arai was determined and immediately divided his squad into two teams. In one team, he personally led a stalemate with the enemies on the mountain. From time to time, he would rudely move towards the top of the mountain to attract the enemy's firepower.
The other team, led by Captain Cao, took advantage of the gap they had to attract firepower, carefully retreated out of the enemy's threatening range, and then surrounded them from the south. From the side ridge, they climbed up to the south of the top of the mountain in a roundabout way.
The Wangcai duo, who had been observing covertly, noticed the situation here and immediately realized that the situation was not good. This was the standard way of playing for the Japanese. In the words of the squadron leader, this is the way the little Japanese would live or die.
tactics.
The two of them were tasked with guarding against the Japs from outflanking them. The squadron leader once said during class that the Japs’ tactics were very rigid, and they relied on this same set of tactics for life and death, attacking all the way and outflanking them all the way.
Now that the first group is attracted by the enemies on the east side, the enemies outflanking from the south side cannot take care of them. The two of them must do this job.
Cui Jiawang felt bitter at the corner of his mouth and numb at the thought of the two of them having to resist the attack of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers. He looked around and found a small hill in the southwest. The Japanese soldiers were going up the mountain from the south. The hill was in the right place.
You can hit the enemy from the side, and the effect is much better than resisting them where they are now.
Cui Jiawang then said to Cui Jiacai: "Ugly bastard, the Japanese are outflanking us from the south. Follow me to that low hill, and we can hold the Japanese back there."
"I won't go. My position is right here. If the Japs want to attack, they have to crush me over my body. Cui Ergou, don't think I don't know your little thoughts. You just don't want to fight the Japs to the death.
Are you still thinking about running away when you are defeated?"
"You..." Cui Jiawang was so angry that he didn't know what to say, but this was normal. It would be hell if the two of them agreed. And after this bastard reminded him, the little hill he pointed out was really damn good.
