Chapter 324 He Sui’s association (please vote for me!)

The drizzle adds a bit of coldness to the early winter in Jiaoao. In the hazy sky, sparse explosions are heard from time to time, just to show the existence. In an abandoned field in Jimo County, barbed wire fences and trenches stretch

, and the fields that had been blown up by artillery shells into the shape of a moon surface were scattered with corpses that had not been collected.

It's cold now, and even though it's soaked in rain, the corpses are still hard to rot. Naturally, not many people care about the corpses in the middle of the battlefield anymore. Of course, there is no time to collect the corpses leisurely. At this time, for the people in the trenches,

, any moving object in the war zone is their target.

In the muddy trench, in a simple bunker with a thickness of less than one meter, dry firewood burned in broken oil barrels, driving away the chill in the bunker. Soldiers sat on wooden beds made of empty ammunition boxes.

, or playing cards, or chatting, it doesn't look like they are fighting, they seem to be resting.

On the machine gun position in front of the trench, the machine gunner in a raincoat would lie in the periscope sight of the machine gun mount from time to time, observing the changes on the battlefield, while the sentry in charge of the alert was observing with a simple periscope.

, suddenly there was a slight siren sound, which was actually an empty can hanging in the trench. It was the sentry warning.

"What, is there something going on?"

"Sir, you will know after you take a look."

Wan Ruiyang handed the binoculars to He Sui, a tactics instructor at the Army University. His origins were not upright. During the Revolution of 1911, he led some troops in the Sixth Town to revolt against the Qing Dynasty after Wu Luzhen was killed.

He also participated in the "Second Revolution". After the Jiao'ao Incident, he followed Huang Xing and others back to China in response to the national defense. At the invitation of Vice President Li Yuanhong, he served as a tactical instructor at the Army University. Half a month ago, he and dozens of Army University students

Instructors and trainees came together to inspect the Jiao'ao battlefield.

The so-called inspection is actually an inspection of the Jiangsu Army. It is a comprehensive investigation of the Jiangsu Army's tactics and combat capabilities. The content of the report submitted by He Sui is very simple -

"The tactical education of his division commander is only equivalent to that of a battalion commander, and his troops have no tactics at all, but they are difficult to defeat because their tactics are very simple, which is to push forward in a straight line, prepare firepower, and cover firepower to completely destroy the opponent, and then

During the military occupation, there were rarely wonderful military operations called "combat art". But it was precisely based on this that the Japanese army was unable to fight back!"

Indeed, if the war turns into a wall of fire from the air and a wall of fire from the ground, the quality of individual soldiers, strategies and tactics, and strategizing will be useless. It is precisely because of this that the Jiangsu Army will ignore any tactics of the Japanese army. You

There are thousands of strategies, but I have a "bulldozer"!

On the battlefield, I just "push", what can you do to me?

When the main force of the Jiangsu Army formed an encirclement against the Japanese army, He Sui witnessed with his own eyes what "firepower push" meant. Planes were constantly bombing any valuable target in the air, including artillery positions, ammunition dumps, troop garrison points, and military depots.

On the ground, facing the Japanese defense, they were covered with concentrated artillery fire.

For the Jiangsu Army, their war is firepower. The first is firepower, and the second is firepower. They have not learned any "art of war" at all. The only thing they have learned is how to maximize their firepower. Faced with

In such an attack, the Japanese army could not form an effective block at all. In just two days, they formed an encirclement of the Japanese army. Later, He Sui saw what a textbook battle was.

When entering the encirclement, the officers urged the soldiers to dig tactics, connect foxholes to form trenches, deepen the trenches, and build bunkers to form field fortress lines. The battalion and company commanders even used rulers to measure the trenches to ensure that the trench standards reached the "Jiangsu Province" standard.

"Teaching Standards for Army Field Defense Operations".

This is the Jiangsu Army that is dull and has no artistry at all. But deep down in his heart, He Sui dare not look down upon this "dull" army, because he knows that if he encounters such an army, unless the firepower is stronger than his,

Otherwise there is no possibility of victory at all.

Through the telescope, He Sui could see a long stream of people moving in parallel on the battlefield, almost a kilometer away from the position. There were not many people - about 300 people. There were no machine guns. It was probably a test attack.

Wan Ruiyang wrapped his raincoat around him and said with disdain.

"Why do we have to attack? Isn't this looking for death?..."

At this time, deputy battalion commander Li Tan came over.

"Sir, do we want to strengthen the defenses? It seems that after a trial, they may choose us!"

He had obviously just slept - one cheek was red and streaked.

"Our defense here is very weak! If the Japanese see it, they might choose our place to break through!"

weak?

Of course He Sui knew what he meant by "weakness". What he meant was very simple. They only had one battalion here, and they had no reinforced firepower, and they were still on the edge of the range of the rear support artillery. But even so, the firepower they had

, but it has already exceeded a brigade of the Central Army.

Wan Ruiyang did not look back and continued to look through the telescope.

"Inform the brothers to prepare for battle, the machine guns are also placed, contact the artillery... they stopped."

He Sui quickly picked up the telescope and took a look. The Japanese soldiers seemed to be discussing something. The telescope lens was wet from the rain and the visibility was very poor. It had to be wiped constantly. The Japanese troops came in this direction, one after another, down to the ravine.

Maybe, according to the map, there was a ravine there. It disappeared for a while, but then it reappeared, getting closer, and kept walking towards the fields.

"No firing until I give the order,"

Wan Ruiyang whispered,

"Additional three light machine guns are placed in the forward position. Shooting from there is also good..."

The soldiers stooped from their bunkers into the trenches, and quickly and lightly moved to the edge of the trenches. They set up their light machine guns and rifles, and aimed forward with relaxed expressions.

A long line of Japanese soldiers walked straight towards us. We could see them one by one without a telescope. The man walking at the front was short and wearing glasses. He might be an officer. He held a command knife in his hand.

.The rain hindered He Sui's vision, and he couldn't see the entire battlefield clearly.

Suddenly, He Sui heard the order:

"Fire!"

After several gunshots, the bespectacled officer in front fell heavily to the ground, and several people around him also fell. At the same time, after a burst of sound in the air, the officer fell in the distance.

, the suddenly chaotic Japanese column was suddenly submerged in a cloud of black smoke raised by artillery shells.

Yes, it was submerged. In just a few minutes, hundreds of mortar shells were fired from the twelve 60mm mortars and four 82mm mortars of the second battalion. For a time, the group of Japanese troops immediately

Surrounded by smoke and debris raised by explosive gas.

After the shelling, the moment the gunpowder smoke dissipated in the distance, machine guns and rifles rang out. The Japanese soldiers who had just escaped the shelling were immediately caught in a hail of bullets.

"Stop shooting!"

Ten minutes later, when Wan Ruiyang issued the ceasefire order, there were few enemies left on the battlefield who could move around.

Suddenly a sniper's rifle bolt clicked, and a Japanese soldier who tried to crawl over was knocked down again. The Japanese soldier lay motionless for a while, and then slowly fell to the side. No more movement was seen or heard.

.This went on for several minutes.

Wan Ruinian straightened the helmet on his head. His helmet was not tied and was just placed on his head casually.

"Instructor He, do you want a cigarette?"

While talking, he looked for a cigarette in his pocket.

"They will climb up again soon."

He took out a dark green cigarette box with the insignia of the Jiangsu Army on it. This kind of cigarettes was the ration of the Jiangsu Army. In He Sui's view, in many rations, the Jiangsu Army reflected his and Ji's relationship.

The difference between the troops is that even toilet paper is a ration. As for cigarettes, it is a standard ration.

"Now is the right time. While they are slowing down, we can take a break and have a cigarette."

After handing He Sui a cigarette, Wan Ruiyang lit another one himself.

"What I want to know is, do they have cannons? If so, they would..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shell exploded two steps away from the trench, the second one landed behind the trench, and the third one directly hit the tactics.

The shelling lasted for two minutes. Wan Ruiyang squatted against the trench. There was a shelling every few seconds, with five or six shells fired at a time. The whistling sound of the shells was very sharp, obviously it was a field artillery, and then it suddenly fell silent.

He Sui supported himself with both hands, raised his body slightly, and looked outside the trench, only to see more than 300 remaining Japanese troops running across the field, running straight towards this side. They were running very fast.

"Obey my orders!—"

Wan Ruiyang rushed to the light machine gun in one stride.

Three short shots, then one long shot.

The Japanese army disappeared again. If the Japanese army learned anything in Jiao'ao, it was probably that they would not force a breakthrough and then be knocked to the ground like a target by machine guns. While they were taking cover, Wan Ruiyang got the casualty figures.

, a shell hit the trench, five people were injured, and two soldiers were killed on the spot.

At this time, the Japanese army began to shell again. Although the density of its firepower was far less than that of the Jiangsu Army, under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese army crawled over from the ground again. And this was completely flat ground, with nowhere to hide. Under the machine gun fire,

Most of the Japanese soldiers fell, leaving a pile of khaki corpses alone on the land full of withered grass.

After three failures, the Japanese army stopped attacking. Wan Ruiyang wiped the rain and sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, and spat toward the outside of the trench.

"This is called showing weakness to the enemy. Contact the artillery and ask them to prepare the shells. Let's hold a fireworks display tonight!"

Wan Ruiyang has his own ideas. His idea is very simple, which is to kill the enemy as much as possible. That is why he did not have a liaison group and divisional artillery fire support before. The purpose is to "tempt the Japanese army to take the initiative to attack", so as to achieve a large number of

The purpose of killing and injuring Japanese troops.

"Contact the 1st Artillery Brigade and ask them to move an artillery battalion to the A3 position! Let the brothers reinforce the fortifications and place more mines near the front positions!"

"What's wrong with our people? We suffer the consequences of falling into feudal turmoil!"

As I muttered these words, I looked at the Jiangsu Army, which only knew "simple tactics." Unlike any other provincial army, the Jiangsu Army was well-equipped and well-funded. It also had two arsenals in Jiangsu Province and hundreds of troops in Lianyungang.

With a factory as its support, this army can be used in foreign wars to protect China from danger, but if it is used in domestic power struggles, it will definitely not be a blessing to China.

At that time, the Jiangsu Army, which is accustomed to using front-line push, fire preparation, and fire coverage to completely destroy the opponent, and then occupy it, will use its own powerful firepower to completely destroy Chinese cities. As long as the opponent does not surrender, they will use this

This is a destructive tactic, and at that time, killing one enemy would probably harm hundreds of people.
