There is really nothing to say about the new group that Li Yunlong left to Ding Wei.
Don't look at Ding Wei's generosity:
My 28th Regiment has nearly 3,000 men, which is nearly three times the strength of your old Li Xinyi Regiment.
But in fact, when it comes to the combat effectiveness and elite level of the troops, the 28th Regiment may not be as good as the New Regiment.
After the tactics of interspersing, detouring, and outflanking began.
As soon as the veterans of the new regiment and battalion appeared, they were shocked.
A series of interspersed movements, roundabout speed, and outflanking methods are simply wonderful.
The nine combat teams used skirmishers to block the retreating National Army troops and borrowed weapons and ammunition from the National Army troops.
On the one hand, they continued to move forward against the direction of the fleeing national army.
It was not until several combat teams approached the forefront and were about to come into contact with the Japanese and puppet troops who were pursuing the Chinese army that the soldiers temporarily abandoned the few remaining Chinese soldiers who were fleeing.
Then the combat team was divided into two parts, detouring from left to right, forming a large pocket formation. With the help of the cover of the surrounding terrain and features, the small group of Japanese and puppet troops who were pursuing them could rush into the pocket without warning.<
/p>
The Japanese and puppet troops who were pursuing them did not expect that the situation would suddenly change.
As Ding Wei said, the Japanese squadron leader who commanded the pursuit this time was not unaware of the consequences of this uncluttered pursuit method once it encountered a sudden counterattack by the national army.
But the Japanese squadron leader arrogantly believed that under the power and pursuit of the Imperial Japanese troops.
These cowardly national troops will never dare to turn around and attack.
In addition, the Japanese and puppet troops were completely unprepared for the sudden appearance of the Eighth Route Army.
The reason is very simple. During this period, it was not only the National Army that attacked the Japanese-occupied areas, but also the Central Army, Shanxi-Sui Army, bandits and the Eighth Route Army.
In addition, the Japanese army's major counterattack was carried out in secrecy in accordance with the orders of superiors, and then suddenly broke out.
Therefore, the Japanese squadron leader has always been confident.
The surrounding Eighth Route Army troops are also like the National Army troops in front of them.
Are being hunted by the Imperial Japanese Army!
Where do you have time to cause trouble here?
What's more, the area in front of us is still far away from the scope of activities of the Eighth Route Army.
In addition, intelligence collected through the Japanese military intelligence department shows:
The National Army, Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army have never dealt with them.
Even though there is a united front on the surface, there are frictions secretly.
There is a general consensus among the Japanese military:
If the Empire of Japan had not invaded China, the Eighth Route Army and the National Army would definitely have fought against each other.
Therefore, the Japanese squadron leader did not believe that the Eighth Route Army would take the initiative to participate in the battle and support the national army or the Shanxi-Sui Army troops.
In addition, the national army in front of them was fleeing all the way and had no courage to fight the Japanese, which further encouraged the Japanese's arrogance.
The little devil has temporarily ignored the potential threat from the Eighth Route Army.
It was under such circumstances that the new group of soldiers continued their interspersed and roundabout actions.
In the eyes of the Japanese and puppet troops, they probably only saw the fleeing national troops, but they did not notice the new regiment of troops moving forward in a hidden way.
The new regiment is divided into nine combat teams.
Because it is divided into parts, each combat team's own target will be much smaller, making it easier to conceal itself.
The Japanese and puppet troops did not slow down their pursuit at all.
Just like a fish swimming down quickly along the current, at this time, you only need to point the open mouth of the net in the direction of the fish swimming, and the fish will basically fall into the net bag.
The nine combat teams quickly completed the encirclement and deployment quietly, leaving a large gap waiting for the Japanese and puppet troops to get in.
In addition, for this covert outflanking tactic, the platoon leaders of the nine combat teams also followed Ding Wei's instructions before the war and pulled the fleeing national soldiers over to perform the performance together.
The direction in which the Japanese and puppet troops were pursuing was exactly the direction in which the national army was fleeing.
If the fleeing figure actively exposed by the national army is used as bait, it will naturally be easy to attract the Japanese and puppet troops.
In order to achieve this goal, after stopping the fleeing national army troops, the platoon leaders said this:
"Brothers of the national army, try to keep a straight line in the direction of your evacuation, and don't spread out. At least let us see the direction of your evacuation and give you a ride.
In this way, if there are really Japanese soldiers outflanking you, we can help you stop them.
But if you run around with your head covered, we won’t be able to take care of you.”
As soon as they heard that there was such a good thing, the fleeing soldiers naturally obeyed.
Then he fled in the direction pointed by the platoon leaders of the nine combat teams.
Pursuing all the way, the Japanese and puppet troops were also scattered everywhere, and saw the figures of the fleeing national troops.
Naturally and logically, we continued to pursue them in the direction in which the national army was escaping.
…………
At this moment, Ding Wei and his team were squatting behind a gentle slope. The height of this gentle slope was so low that he could barely cover his figure by squatting down.
Fortunately, the area where this gentle slope is located and the area where the Japanese and puppet troops are chasing are generally in a horizontal line.
Therefore, there is no higher terrain that the Japanese and puppet troops can use to detect Ding Wei and his party hiding under the gentle slope.
On the side of the pursuing Japanese and puppet troops, Ding Wei just glanced twice with his binoculars and basically determined the situation.
He retracted his body back to the gentle slope and thought about it secretly.
There are only about twenty Japanese soldiers, plus some other puppet troops. As long as we can put this group of Japanese puppet troops into the encirclement, the next step will be much easier.
In addition, Ding Wei noticed that a very favorable situation for the combat team is...
These Japanese and puppet troops only focused on pursuit, and the Japanese and puppet troops who pursued them first were basically light infantry.
In order to ensure the speed of pursuit, no heavy weapons were carried at all.
Even light machine guns are rare. Ding Wei glanced at them just now and saw that the more than twenty Japanese who were chasing them seemed to have only two light machine guns in their hands.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
On Ding Wei's side, the firepower of the team that originally came to ambush and deal with the Japs was quite well equipped.
Each combat team, which is about the size of a platoon, is equipped with four light machine guns.
With the same strength, this kind of machine gun configuration has even surpassed the infantry team of the Japanese Army's Class A Division.
In addition, during this circuitous journey, we obtained a large number of weapons from the fleeing national troops.
Ding Wei doesn't know the situation of other combat teams.
Anyway, the combat team commanded by Ding Wei, in addition to the four light machine guns it already owned, also "borrowed" two Czech light machine guns.
At this moment, this Eighth Route Army combat team with less than forty people possesses six light machine guns.
The number of these light machine guns is even greater than the number of machine guns in the entire regiment when the new regiment was first formed.
As Li Yunlong said, when he first took over the new regiment.
The whole regiment has only a few light machine guns, and not a single heavy machine gun...
The number of machine guns between Ding Wei's combat team and the Japanese army was 3:1, giving them an absolute advantage.
In addition, after the Japanese and puppet troops entered the encirclement, the combat team fought an ambush and encirclement war.
Once the battle begins, there is no suspense at all.
This is indeed the case.
The Japanese and puppet troops pursued in the direction of the fleeing national troops and fell into the trap set by Ding Wei.
Sure enough, without warning, he walked directly across the gentle slope and plunged into the ambush circle.
Ding Wei gave an order:
"Hit!"
First, one grenade per person, that is, forty grenades, swaying in the air with a demonic and destructive aura, and smashed towards the more than twenty Japanese and a dozen puppet soldiers who rushed over. p>
Amidst the horrified expressions of some of the Japanese and puppet troops who had come to their senses, a series of big explosions occurred.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers took the opportunity to quickly form a semi-encirclement formation.
Directly pour the strongest firepower towards the Japanese and puppet troops.
The sudden fire attack caught the Japanese and puppet troops off guard.
In addition, after passing the gentle slope, some areas are open areas.
The Japanese and puppet troops were completely under direct fire.
Six light machine guns were built in different directions to attack the Japanese and puppet troops with cross fire.
Coupled with the veteran soldiers of the combat team, their marksmanship is beyond boast, and the distance between the two sides is so close.
Ding Wei, alone, pulled out the two rifles on his waist and fired several rounds from left to right, killing two Japanese soldiers and two puppet soldiers.
The strength comparison between the Japanese and puppet troops and Ding Wei's combat team is almost 1:1.
This means that each soldier only needs to complete the task of killing one Japanese or puppet soldier.
You can wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops in front of you.
In less than three minutes, the battle ended.
It broke out suddenly and ended even more suddenly.
Ding Wei's combat team, from the beginning of the battle, to the destruction of more than 20 Japanese soldiers and more than a dozen puppet troops.
Because it was an ambush operation, coupled with the superior firepower, the Japanese and puppet troops were crushed.
Ding Wei's firepower deployment is very appropriate.
As a result, no one in the combat team died, and only two soldiers suffered some gunshot wounds.
It was scratched by a stray bullet fired by the little devil in a panic.
Shortly after the gunshots from Ding Wei's side rang out.
Gunshots were also heard from several other areas.
The specific situation is slightly similar to the battle led by Ding Wei.
Although not all nine combat groups successfully surrounded the Japanese and puppet troops.
But for the most part, battles end in a very short period of time.
The Japs Ding Wei met here were considered to be a relatively large group, there were even twenty of them.
Some of the other combat teams encountered only five or six Japanese soldiers, accompanied by more than a dozen puppet troops.
According to the deployment of Ding Wei and First Battalion Commander Sun Zhenguo.
On the New Regiment's side, the local strength and firepower advantages were immediately apparent.
After interspersing detours to form the final outflank.
The Japanese and puppet troops, which had long been defeated because of their pursuit of the national army, would naturally not be their opponents.
This was a free advantage for Xinyi Group, because the Japanese were too dispersed and took advantage of it.
Speaking of which, perhaps we should also thank the fleeing national army.
In his blind escape, he unintentionally made the best assist for the new group's attack.
By the time something happened to the Japanese squadron leader commanding the pursuit from behind, it was too late.
The Japanese squadron has suffered heavy losses.
On Ding Wei's side, the nine combat teams sporadically eliminated some Japanese and puppet troops who had pursued them in advance.
But in total, more than 120 or 30 Japanese were eliminated.
There are only sixty or seventy Japs left in a squadron.
In the blink of an eye, more than two-thirds of the troops were lost.
The puppet army camp that followed the pursuit also lost nearly half of its troops.
Speaking of which, the Japanese squadron leader should feel lucky.
Fortunately, the pursuit troops behind him were slowed down by the heavy weapons they carried and the weapons seized from the fleeing national troops, so they did not have time to plunge into the ambush set by Ding Wei.
The Japanese squadron leader saw through the telescope the frontline area and the destruction of many of his troops.
He also saw the enemy who destroyed his team - the Eighth Route Army troops.
Although the appearance of the Eighth Route Army surprised the Japanese squadron leader, this little devil is quite tough.
Seeing the constant losses of the troops at the front, he did not suffer much damage with the help of the artillery fire at hand, plus the two 75mm mountain cannons captured from the fleeing national troops.
He actually ordered that all the remaining Japanese and puppet troops be gathered together.
Prepare for a head-on positional battle with the oncoming Eighth Route Army regiment in this open area.
The two sides are separated by a distance of seven to eight hundred meters.
Looking at each other.
The Japanese squadron leader saw Ding Wei and his party through the telescope.
Ding Wei also looked through the telescope at the gathering Japanese and puppet troops.
I also saw the mountain artillery and grenades in the puppet army that day.
At this time, the battalion commander Sun Zhenguo led several combat teams and gathered towards Ding Wei.
"Captain!"
"How are the conditions of the combat teams?" Ding Wei asked.
Sun Zhenguo said: "Captain, don't worry, everything is going very smoothly, and the casualties on our side are also very small."
Speaking of this, Sun Zhenguo looked at the Japanese and puppet troops still gathering not far away, frowned and said:
"Captain, look at what you guys want, even though we have wiped out a lot of teams, they are still ready to gather and fight with us!"
Ding Wei sneered and said: "This stupid little devil is chasing the fleeing monarch all the way. He is used to being rampant. Now he doesn't take our new group seriously. Only these dozens of Japs are left. Not only are they not
They retreated and dared to assume a decisive battle stance."
"If these Japanese and puppet troops are not wiped out today, I, Ding Wei, will no longer have to hang around in northwest Shanxi."
"First battalion commander."
"Arrived!"
"According to the current situation, it is speculated that the Japanese dispatched from Taigu and Zhangzhuang and pursued the national army all the way here. They are seven or eight miles away from the nearest Taigu.
Not to mention that the little devil in front of us was seriously injured by our sneak attack and put on a decisive battle posture.
The Japanese may not necessarily ask for help from the Japanese troops in the direction of Taigu and Zhangzhuang.
Even if the Japs have requested reinforcements, it will take at least twenty minutes for the little Japs in Taigu to reach the place in front of them.
Twenty minutes is enough to eat the dozens of Japs and more than a hundred puppet troops in front of you."
Ding Wei said this and pondered for a moment. After thinking for a moment, the tactics on how to kill the Japanese and puppet troops in front of him came to his mind.
"In front of us, the Japanese and puppet troops have been severely damaged by us, and the remaining Japanese troops are at an absolute disadvantage compared to us in terms of strength.
The little devil gathered all his troops and set up his posture again. Did you see the row of grenade launchers at the front and the two mountain cannons?
That is the biggest support of the Japs. The Japs want to rely on their abundant firepower to fight a head-on positional battle with us!"
"It's a pity that the Japanese met me, Ding Wei, because they found the wrong opponent."
"Isn't it just fighting for equipment and firepower? It's not like our new regiment doesn't have the capital."
"Order, the first and second platoons detour from the left wing, and the eighth and ninth platoons detour from the right wing.
After arriving at the designated location, we will treat others in their own way.
Use the grenade as soon as possible to knock out the Japanese grenade position and the two mountain cannons."
"The remaining five platoons advanced from the forward direction to attract the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"Of course, the Japs' artillery fire is no joke, especially the grenade firepower covered by the Japs' mass fire. The hit rate is quite terrifying."
"In this way, the terrain in front of us is open and suitable for a dispersed attack. The offensive lines can be completely spread out, and the distance can even be more than thirty meters. Three soldiers form a group, presenting a triangular attack formation, and advance forward in a small triangle."<
/p>
"Three small triangles form an offensive echelon, forming a large triangular advancing line. In this way, we can not only avoid the concentrated destruction of Japanese artillery fire, but also give full play to our military advantage."
"Don't the little Japs want a decisive battle? Let's open up our troops and gradually move forward to encircle them. Let's see if the Japs are not panicked?"
"In addition, we also pulled over the mountain cannon we captured, pushed it forward, and put it to use. We can't let the Japanese artillery fire run wild on its own."
"Yes!"
Sun Zhenguo's heart moved and he responded quickly.
After the order was conveyed, the soldiers took action quickly under the first-line command of the company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader.
While directing the team's advance from the rear, First Battalion Commander Sun Zhenguo couldn't help but sigh: "Commander, I have to say that this three-by-three team assault tactic is indeed very practical in this situation."<
/p>
Ding Wei spoke with admiration in his words, "This is Division Lin's first team assault tactic, so it's naturally powerful.
At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, our Eighth Route Army lacked heavy fire cover, and even when we were fighting fortress, we had no heavy fire power at all.
At this time, some of our commanders were rather stubborn and often attacked the Japanese solid positions in dense formations, so casualties were naturally unavoidable.
A Japanese heavy machine gun can even block the charge of hundreds of our soldiers.
In response to this situation, Division Lin proposed that superior commanders should focus on the principle of concentrating superior forces strategically.
Grassroots commanders should pay attention to properly dispersing the density of troops to avoid damage from the enemy's intensive firepower.
It is best to advance layer by layer and alternately cover and attack.
Later, the team assault tactics came into being."
"Right now we are using it temporarily, so there is no detailed deployment.
After returning to the station this time, we can study the team assault tactics of the three-three system carefully and apply them in our team's future battles."
……
While Ding Wei and Sun Zhenguo were talking, the Japanese squadron leader opposite also realized the difficulty of the Eighth Route Army in front of him.
This sudden triangular offensive formation.
Just the momentum alone shocked many Japanese and puppet soldiers.
There are also the Eighth Route Army troops that are detouring on both sides.
The Japanese squadron leader put on a proud face, but deep down he couldn't help but have some intention of retreating.
He just wanted to have a head-on positional battle in this open area with the Eighth Route Army who suddenly attacked in front of him.
The Japanese squadron leader still has his own calculations in his heart.
Faced with the Eighth Route Army, which has taken the initiative to fight, retreating without a fight would definitely be a disgrace to the empire, and it would be inevitable to be dealt with by military law after returning.
Therefore, if you want to fight, it is best to use your firepower advantage to severely damage the Eighth Route Army in front of you.
If you really can't beat it, just retreat.
But the Eighth Route Army commander opposite didn't seem to have this intention.
As soon as he came up, he was ready to surround and annihilate his opponent.
The Japanese squadron leader hesitated for a while.
He faced only two choices:
Fight to the death!
Or retreat immediately before the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side encircles you.
This Japanese squadron leader was completely poisoned by militarism.
In the end, I used the Bushido spirit of self-comfort to numb the timidity in my heart.
He immediately ordered the construction of temporary defenses to block the Eighth Route Army's advance.
In addition, part of the machine gun and grenade firepower was reserved to deal with the Eighth Route Army troops outflanking from both wings.
Prevent the Eighth Route Army from forming an encirclement offensive against the imperial troops...
