Along the traffic artery from Shexian County in northern Hebei to Licheng, at this time, the fierce battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army was actually far more exaggerated than what Lei Dasheng, the leader of the First Independent Regiment, reported to the headquarters.
.
Of course, things turn around.
This time, more of the cruelty was used against the Japanese.
As the absolute elite main force of a team, this time with the help of collective military marriage in the base area to paralyze the Japanese army, the leader of the first regiment, Lei Dasheng, personally led the troops, mixed with the mechanized assault troops, and quickly made circuitous intersperses. The whole process was overwhelming, and the troops were inserted across Shexian County.
Between to Licheng.
After the Eighth Route Army's siege of Licheng began, the old Japanese man Okacun did not dare to delay and quickly ordered reinforcements from all parties to reinforce Licheng.
As an important defensive city for the Japanese army, Shexian County had a lot of troops stationed there, so reinforcements were naturally sent out quickly to advance towards Licheng.
The battle between the two sides started soon. The order Lei Dasheng received this time was to block the Japanese reinforcements in Shexian County.
"The old regiment commander's absolute order is that no Japanese soldiers can be allowed to rush to Licheng!"
In order to achieve this combat mission, after analysis at a military meeting held at the regiment headquarters, Lei Dasheng believed:
"It is true that soldiers never tire of deceit at any time. In this war, you cannot play cards according to common sense. Otherwise, you can think of it, and the Japanese can also think of it. Naturally, you will not be able to achieve the goal of winning by surprise.
If we judge according to conventional rules, since we want to block the Japanese reinforcements from Shexian County, the best way is to use the terrain and terrain to launch layer-by-layer blocking in the middle to delay the pace of the Japanese army.
But..."
Lei Dasheng changed the topic, raised his voice and said, "This kind of battle is quite satisfactory, not worth seeing."
The battalion commander asked: "Commander, how do we fight?"
Lei Dasheng thought for a while, then immediately came up with a plan, and said domineeringly: "The best way to prevent mice from coming out of the hole is not to set up a fence outside the hole, but to directly seal the hole completely. No matter how many rats there are, we can block it in so that it can’t even poke its head out."
"Fight! Don't stop for a moment, take all our wealth, hit the defensive position built by the Japanese outside Shexian County in one go, seize the Japanese position, and in turn block the gate of Shexian City directly. See if the little Japanese is still there
How to send troops for reinforcements?"
Of course, according to the old tradition of a team, before the battle begins, intelligence comes first.
Regarding the situation of the Japanese defense positions outside Shexian County, Lei Dasheng had already investigated clearly.
"Those fortifications near Shexian County are not shoddy projects. According to the news sent back by our intelligence personnel, the fortifications built by the Japanese there are solid concrete structures, and there are even bunkers and reinforced concrete structures.
Gun tower fortifications.
It is definitely inappropriate to force a tough battle.
In this way, we will try to infiltrate in three waves of troops.
The first team, disguised as a caravan, tried to enter Shexian County to see if they could pry open the Japs’ fortifications and take the opportunity to break in.
The second team, the uniforms of the Japanese and puppet troops we brought this time came in handy. They disguised themselves as a remnant of the Japanese and puppet troops. They said they were blocked by the Eighth Route Army troops along the way and were forced to withdraw to Shexian County.
In addition, the relevant numbers of this unit are based on the relevant numbers of the Japanese army we previously detected.
The comrade who leads the team must be able to speak Japanese and cannot be exposed easily.
If these two waves cannot deceive the Japanese defenses, then a third wave will be carried out, and the assault team will lead the team to try to carry out sneak attacks and penetrations at night.
During the operation, communication links were ensured at all times, and the heavy artillery we brought over by truck was built in advance to coordinate with the commando members at any time to conduct remote guided bombardment.
Be sure to break through the Japanese defenses with one blow.
If you miss this hit, you will be in trouble later if you try to open the devil's hard bastard shell!"
It has to be said that after two years of growth, Lei Dasheng, the commander of the first regiment, is also quite impressive in the application of various flexible tactics.
He particularly admired the word "strange" put forward by the old regiment leader Kong Jie in his thinking on tactics.
Think about what the enemy cannot think about, and attack what the enemy cannot defend against.
Taking the enemy by surprise and attacking him unprepared is what military law calls the strategy for controlling the enemy.
In the end, the battle broke out more smoothly than Lei Dasheng expected.
The caravan did not successfully fool the Japs. The Japs officer guarding the city claimed that the military alert had been strengthened during this period and all unidentified caravans were prohibited from entering rashly.
However, the follow-up was in a hurry, and the soldiers disguised themselves as remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops, and had completely verifiable corresponding numbers to deceive the Japanese army.
Sure enough, we successfully deceived the Japanese defense fortifications.
No matter how strong the little Japanese's concrete defenses are, once the Eighth Route Army soldiers get inside, the battle is basically no longer suspense.
The assault team took the opportunity to launch an attack, and the long-range artillery launched bombardment under the guidance of the bombardment coordinates.
In less than half an hour before and after the battle, the main force of the Japanese army in Shexian County had not had time to come up with reinforcements, and the large number of concrete defenses built on the outside were completely occupied by the Eighth Route Army troops.
After the elite Japanese troops who rushed out of Shexian County launched an attack, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
At this time, the soldiers of the first regiment occupied the defense fortifications on the outer line of Shexian County, which can be said to have blocked the little Japanese at the door.
However, the fortifications built by the Japanese outside Shexian County are extremely strong. There are a large number of concrete bunkers, gun towers, and bunkers. The Japanese machine guns and artillery can't do anything at all.
Interestingly, the little devil built a two-way fortification, perhaps to guard against attacks launched by the Eighth Route Army after detouring from the back.
A group of Eighth Route Army soldiers only needed to turn around, and the various concrete fortifications left behind by the Japanese became the best bunkers.
As the Xinxing Detachment of the 129th Division Combat Force in the Taihang Base Area, it is an absolute elite.
The firepower configuration of the regiment is so powerful, let alone little devils, that even the soldiers of the regiment feel like they are dreaming every time they think about the equipment situation in the team two years ago.
There are only one regiment with more than 30 heavy machine guns of various types.
In addition to the Type 92 heavy machine guns seized from the Japanese, they also included some Maxim heavy machine guns and heavy machine guns bought from the Americans.
The ammunition is quite abundant, and a heavy machine gun is equipped with at least 5,000 rounds of ammunition.
In addition, the so-called strongest enemy is the best teacher.
In this regard, the first team learned a lot from the little devil.
In addition to the bullets specially equipped with heavy machine guns, the soldiers of a team also learned from the little devils. The bullets they usually carry on the battlefield are divided into two parts. One part is for their own shooting, and the other part is used as machine gun ammunition and can be provided to the enemy at any time.
Machine gun use.
If you include the machine gun bullets brought by the soldiers around the heavy machine gun, each heavy machine gun can even have more than 10,000 rounds of bullets.
When more than thirty such heavy machine guns are placed inside various machine gun fortifications and bunkers that are almost completely enclosed and absolutely solid reinforced concrete structures.
The fire snake was spitting wildly, outside the bunker, within the empty three to five hundred meter shooting range. Whenever a flesh and blood body appeared, the bullets hit it like raindrops, and there was no possibility of survival.
The Japanese and puppet troops who rushed in from Shexian County probably did not understand the current situation. After a blind charge, they left more than a hundred corpses on the spot.
This battle basically took place simultaneously with the Eighth Route Army's siege of Licheng.
When the order from the Japanese military headquarters was issued, the Japanese troops in Shexian County were ordered to quickly pass the transportation line to reinforce the direction of Licheng.
The main force of a field regiment in Shexian County had no choice but to try again to attack the fortifications stationed by a regiment.
There is no other way. The only thing to blame is that the fortifications built by the little devils were carefully positioned.
This completely blocked the important transportation line from Shexian County to Licheng.
The Japanese reinforcements in Shexian County want to reinforce Licheng, and they carry a large amount of baggage and heavy weapons. Now these blockades are the only way to go.
The offensive and defensive battle between the two sides began immediately.
In terms of organization, the Japanese army's regiment corresponds to the regiment-level combat unit of the Eighth Route Army.
According to the situation in previous years, a fully-equipped Japanese army regiment is equipped with three infantry brigades, plus baggage troops, artillery troops, and various combat personnel directly under the regiment. The standard number is about 3,800.<
/p>
Some regiments even have nearly 5,000 people.
As for the main combat regiment of the Eighth Route Army, it only has a few thousand people and only two to three thousand people.
Just in terms of military strength, when fighting against the same organization, the Japs' coalition has an absolute advantage. This is where the little Japs are at their best.
In addition, the firepower configuration of this Japanese army is also extremely powerful.
According to the standard equipment of elite troops, there are 36 Type 92 heavy machine guns, more than 100 light machine guns, and more than 100 grenades.
In addition, there are some specially strengthened field regiments, which are even equipped with an artillery squadron equipped with infantry artillery and mountain artillery.
The level of equipment can be said to be quite exaggerated.
Even the most well-equipped Central Army troops, with the same establishment, are far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of equipment level.
This is another place for little devils and thieves.
Before the war of aggression against China began, the Japanese had already obtained a large amount of information about the equipment level of the Chinese army.
They organized the firepower allocation of their troops accordingly, and even arranged it according to the strategy of restraining the Chinese army's firepower allocation.
To put it bluntly, it is to comprehensively suppress and specifically deal with the Chinese army.
When it comes to the equipment development of a team, Kong Jie also treats others in his own way.
The firepower allocation and the application of various collaborative tactics are based on the idea of restraining the commonly used equipment of the Japanese army.
In terms of firepower configuration at the squad level:
The commonly used support artillery used by the Japanese is the Type 89 grenade, with an effective range of about 500 meters.
The main combat squad of a team is equipped with 50 and 60 mortars, which can completely suppress the Japanese grenades in terms of power, range and accuracy.
Even the local army units belonging to a team are equipped with at least 50 small artillery pieces, which can also suppress the Japanese grenade launchers.
In addition, in terms of close-range firepower supplement, the soldiers of a team are equipped with submachine guns and rifle grenades. Each squad is also equipped with 1 to 2 Garand semi-automatic rifles, which are used by special shooters to destroy important enemy firepower points.
.
Even in battles between squadrons and companies, and between squadrons and camps, the little devils still can't take advantage.
Whether it is light and heavy machine guns, various types of artillery, or even infantry artillery, whatever the Japanese have, a team still has no shortage of it.
In terms of the number of artillery pieces alone, these are just the second-rate Japanese troops of the security army, and they were completely crushed by the elite main force of a team.
For example, the equipment of the current group is very sophisticated:
In addition to a large number of light and heavy machine guns, various 50mm and 60cm small guns, in terms of larger-caliber artillery, there are also Type 92 infantry guns, Type 41 mountain guns, including some 75mm howitzers, and Jin-made 82mm mortars.
Wait.
Another team also specially developed a tactic of using a more flexible 60mm mortar to knock out the Japanese's more cumbersome artillery positions.
Including special tactics of using assault artillery to guide rear-mounted heavy artillery bombardment.
The Japanese army, which had once been proud of its more sophisticated firepower configuration than the Central Army, made a shocking discovery when facing a group of main forces:
Once upon a time, the beggar team had backward equipment and scarce ammunition, but now the firepower configuration can even crush them!
And in the so-called fierce and fierce confrontation that followed.
The soldiers of the first regiment fought heartily, and the commander of the first regiment, Lei Dasheng, even raised his arms and shouted: "The old regiment leader is absolutely right, this time we are building a slaughterhouse, killing Japanese, and killing more Japanese.
This is our combat goal this time.
Although this little devil is a bastard, we have to admit that these devils really don't take their own lives seriously. When a war breaks out, they really dare to charge!
After the battle begins, no one should be polite to the Japanese. Just use your bullets and greet them as much as you can.
This is the battle of prosperity that we all dream of fighting!"
In order to stimulate the soldiers' will to kill the enemy, the first regiment commander also ordered a game. What game was it?
"When the city of Nanjing was broken, those little bastards carried out a massacre. Some bastards even played a killing contest to see who could kill more innocent people.
Today we will collect some interest for the countless villagers who died tragically in Nanjing.
Let's use each company as the basic unit. After the battle, we will compare which company killed the most little Japs.
The old regiment leader said that the company that excels in this battle will be equipped with a special batch of American equipment. Whether you can get it or not depends on your own abilities."
Kill——
The soldiers were all inspired and fought bravely to kill the enemy after the battle began.
Of course, killing the Japanese is the goal, and avoiding casualties of one's own troops is the principle.
Everyone knows this clearly, and the tactics are very simple. It's a bit like sitting back and waiting, just guarding the various fortifications of the concrete structure, waiting for the little devils to charge.
When the Japanese attack, they will be greeted by a hail of bullets and artillery shells.
As soon as the Japs retreated, everyone quickly cleaned up the battlefield and continued to wait for the Japs' next wave of attacks.
As for the Japanese tactics and the methods they can use to attack fortresses, the soldiers have long been familiar with them.
The sentries who were scouting on the top of the turret relayed news at any time, and everyone patiently played a defensive tug-of-war with the little devils.
Anyway, we will kill as many of your devils as they come.
If you have the ability, you little devil will knock all these concrete bunker towers open, or you will use up all the bullets we have.
Otherwise, even a half-Japanese devil wouldn't be able to take a single step through a group of fortifications.
As for reinforcing Licheng, don’t even think about it...
