Chapter 141 The Battle of Jinan (4)
Haha~~Congratulations to Xiaochao! We are engaged~ Let’s have a few drinks with my father-in-law today. The marriage with the girl has been decided under the witness of both parents. But we have to see the specific time~ Well... I will try my best to reply to two updates tomorrow, at least one update every day!
==================================[]
When Tu Qianjun and the veterans on the position rushed into the fire hole that had been dug long ago, the sound of cannons sounded on the position! The entire fire hole was shaking, and the veterans in the fire hole all covered their ears and opened their mouths as the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion taught them, and they shouted with the frequency of explosions.
This is done to allow brothers who are dizzy and tinnitus to quickly adapt and recover. Second, holding their breath during shelling will hurt their lungs. Therefore, when covering their ears when being shelled, they also need to open their mouths or explode and shout loudly to reduce the damage to the lungs caused by shelling.
Of course, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army had no idea of this method at all. This was taught by Tu Qianjun when he was training the Fourth Battalion. When the Fourth Battalion became the veterans of the Fourth Battalion, they did not have time to copy the training methods of the Fourth Battalion, but some life-saving skills were taught to these soldiers in advance. At this time, the New Army soldiers squatting in the artillery hole were not worried that the artillery hole would collapse, because they built it by themselves. They naturally knew the strength of the artillery hole.
The deep-dig pit was made of beams of rails and sleepers. The wooden boards were built on them and then placed on them, and then they stepped on them with a layer of wooden boards, gray and soil... In short, they had never done such complex fortifications. If they were not for the large staff and the guidance of the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Battalion, they would not know how to make such a position. When the fortification was completed, the new army officers and soldiers who participated in the construction fortifications even felt that even if the other party used heavy artillery to blast in front of them, they might not be able to destroy this kind of fire hole.
Amid the roar of artillery fire, the officers and soldiers of the New First Army looked at their commander admirably! This is a Niu Bi! It's more than 600 meters, and the one shot of the boys overturned the boys! And they also expected the boys' next shelling, which is so terrifying! They are willing to squat down and eat noodles with us, and they can kill the boys with guns. They are expected to vengeance bombardment. They once defended tens of thousands of people to attack the town that had been attacked overnight with a thousand people! Damn it, next door to Mahler! Only with such a boss can you have a future! Compared with those who only know how to shout "Brothers, come on!", they are so terrifying.
At this time, Tu Qianjun squatted in a corner of the artillery cave, and opened his mouth with everyone to wait for the end of the artillery bombardment. His eyes that admired, convinced and other emotions seemed to be unaware of it. After more than half an hour, Tu Qianjun jumped up and rushed out of the position with a light machine gun!
"Come with me! The sluts have to charge now!" Seeing Tu Qianjun rushing out, the officers and soldiers of the New First Army did not dare to neglect them! The commanders rushed forward, what's the point of staying here?! Hurry up and promised, carrying light and heavy machine guns or rifles, followed Tu Qianjun out of the artillery hole and entered the position.
On the position, the platoon officers at all levels shouted that their brothers would quickly enter the predetermined position and all kinds of light and heavy firepower should be placed on and adjusted! The soldiers below also took out grenades, unscrewed the lid, screwed out the fuse, and aimed the guns that pressed the bullets in front. They were all veterans who had been through the battlefield for a long time, and they knew what to do without any command.
As soon as the brothers of the New First Army were ready, several shouts came from the smoke: "Fulu attack!!!". With that shout, a group of scattered soldiers lined up in scattered lines and charged all the way! Many TV series, movies or novels always describe the Japanese army's charge in a mess, and even called it "pig rush". But the actual situation is not the case at all!
Generally speaking, the tactics of the Japanese infantry squads and platoons are based on attack, and it emphasizes the speed and method of the troops launching to catch the enemy during marching. The tactics of the Japanese infantry squads are mostly from a certain point between 600 and 400 meters (lod:lineofdepa
tue) started.
Infantry squads assembled groups in the lod, supplemented bullets, clarified the attack direction and available terrain and landforms, and determined tactical key points of each group. Then they expanded in groups and waited for the machine gun group to enter the first shooting position, each group would maneuver towards the first masking point. After reaching the first point, they would deploy firepower to kill the enemy, and at the same time cover the machine gun group to maneuver. After the machine gun group was in place, they would suppress the enemy and cover other groups to maneuver forward.
In this cycle, the whole class should stop slightly at 200 meters, unfold the whole class's firepower to clear the exposed enemy fire points and the dense positions. At the same time, smoke bombs and light bombs (night battles) are used to guide the targets of the Japanese army's direct aim and heavy firepower. Here, there should generally be two rounds of strikes, the first round is face-to-face strikes, eliminating all face-to-face firepower. Then focus on one side to cause uneven configuration of the defenders to be forced to maneuver, thereby maximizing the maneuvering defenders' forces and preparing for the final attack.
At the end of the artillery fire, the infantry crawled forward with bayonets. After the artillery fire stopped, all suppressed firepower was deployed to attack the infantry. The infantry should turn to full-speed impact at about 100 meters.
This is a textbook version but very comprehensive combat method. There will be many outdated versions in actual combat, but it is an attack technique that the Japanese repeatedly used after they made it clear that the opponent had firm defense. An excellent Japanese grassroots commander could cause hundreds of people to fall into the attacks of dozens of Japanese devils. In this tactic, the Japanese gradually approached in the face of strong defense, and used their advantages in mobility and firepower to kill and kill the defenders in large quantities.
Many of the Kuomintang and red veterans who had been through the battlefield were shot and killed by the Japanese outside their effective range. When the Japanese advanced to about 200 meters, their firepower accuracy was late, and the defenders would withstand artillery fire, casualties, psychology and other impacts. This was one of the main reasons why a small team of Japanese relied on their superior firepower to repeatedly defeat the defending battalion's regiment-level defense rank in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan. The Japanese were very ghostly in war!
But unfortunately they didn't know that this army had a veteran who knew their tactics and had a cracking method for a long time, and had been on the battlefield. He had already conducted targeted training on their fighting methods! He was an elite soldier, and even Tu Qianjun, who had entered the Nanzhi, naturally knew how to crack this tactic.
Simply put, there are two ways to deal with this tactic: one is to actively prevent and the other is to defend and counterattack. The importance of active defense is to eliminate the enemy's flank threat, and force the enemy to attack head-only on our defense, so as to give the enemy maximum damage. The focus of defensive counterattack is to break the enemy's joint attack situation, which is often seen in cases of breaking through the siege and playing a pig and swallowing tiger.
The specific method of playing should be divided into three steps. The first step is to accurately calculate the time when the enemy's detour troops set off. When the enemy's detour troops are halfway through, they will quickly retreat and lure the enemy's frontal troops into a strong attack in advance.
The second step is to let the enemy attack troops approach our army, and then defeat the attacking enemy with rapid actions; the third step is to chase the retreating enemy with a fierce look to cause greater chaos in the enemy, and then quickly turn around and escape from the battlefield.
The defensive counterattack tactics were one of the series of tactics summarized and recommended by the Eighth Route Army of the Jin-Cha-Hebei after the War of Resistance Against Japan and half a year after the end of the May Day sweep. However, this tactic has a great disadvantage: it is that it requires very high quality of all commanders and fighters of the defenders, and it is indeed not something that can be fought by just a single unit.
Chapter completed!
