"The Second Brigade...immediately order the Second Brigade to come for reinforcements!"
Seeing the Chinese soldiers rushing towards the top of the mountain, Kenji Tsuchiya trembled in his heart. Since the battle was an ambush, at the beginning of the war they never imagined that the enemy would be able to hit his headquarters, so the headquarters
The total defense strength is only one squadron.
But even this squadron of 181 people suffered most of their casualties in the bombardment just now. Now there are less than a hundred people who can still hold a gun, and there are no heavy weapons. How can they resist the Chinese who have heavy artillery cover?
.
"boom……"
The orange-red flames produced when the shell exploded were accompanied by violent explosions and a Type 92 heavy machine gun that was pouring out tongues of fire was thrown into the air. The machine gun was seen to have misfired.
A sergeant who was hiding behind a slope stuck his head out to check, and took the lead in rushing forward. The eight or nine soldiers around him also divided into three groups and rushed forward from different directions.
Soon with a burst of gunfire, the remaining two Japanese soldiers were also eliminated.
If there are any 21st century military fans here, they will definitely recognize that this is a typical three-by-three tactic.
In another time and space, the three-by-three tactic was a unique tactic invented by Lin Shuai. It was brilliant on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. The Volunteer Army relied on this tactic to inflict a lot of suffering on the American soldiers with their crude weapons and equipment.
As soon as the Korean War ended, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point listed it as a classic teaching case.
The core of the three-by-three system tactics is to appropriately disperse the force density to avoid damage from the enemy's intensive firepower. At the same time, it emphasizes close coordination, advancing layer by layer, and alternately covering the attack.
It is based on the squad, stipulating that every three people form a group, and each soldier has his own task. One person attacks, one covers, and one supports.
The squad leader, deputy squad leader and team leader each lead a squad. When attacking, the soldiers are in front and the team leader is behind, forming a triangle. Three combat squads form a field squad, and three combat squads form a battle group, layer by layer.
, connect with each other.
In this way, on the surface it seems that the troops are dispersed, but in fact the combat effectiveness is enhanced.
Of course, the pinnacle battle of the Sansan Fighting Group was not only the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, but the Sino-Indian Border War in 1962.
The most famous one is the three-person combat team of Pang Xingguo, Wang Shijun, and Ran Fulin. They went deep alone and captured two Indian artillery positions in one fell swoop.
Afterwards, Pang Xingguo wrote in his battle report the sentence we are all familiar with: "The enemy not only refused to surrender, but dared to fight back at our army." The three of them defeated more than 200 people and captured two artillery positions.
Brilliant achievements, even A Ding’s cool articles wouldn’t dare to write about it like that!
It can be seen that the three-three system tactics have reached the pinnacle of light infantry tactics.
Gao Hongming, the second-hand swordsman, actually knew little about this tactic, so when he summoned Wu Chengfeng, Xiao Zhankui and other officers above the company level to explain this tactic, he was still stumbled and had only a little understanding of it.
However, this did not prevent Wu Chengfeng, Xiao Zhankui and other veterans from understanding this tactic. After studying it, everyone unanimously gave this tactic a high evaluation, and then this tactic began to become popular among militia groups.
Miura Masao, who was protected by two guards behind him, listened to the dense explosions in his ears, as well as the whistling of artillery shells or fragments, and felt in a trance. Is this still the Chinese army in his impression?
In his impression, compared with the Imperial Army, which had strong industrial support, the Chinese army, which could not even guarantee a man or a gun, was extremely cowardly. After several years of war of aggression against China, this impression had been deeply ingrained in his mind.
.
But today this concept has been completely shattered.
"Buzz...buzz..."
Masao Miura, who was protected by guards behind him, heard more than the sound of explosions, but the buzzing in his ears. Such a violent bombardment was something Miura Masao had never experienced in his military career, even in
On the Songhu battlefield three years ago, Masao Miura had never experienced such intensive shelling.
Just now, after the Chinese heavy artillery began to extend backwards, their infantry began to charge.
Miura Masao finally organized the remaining hundreds of soldiers to resist. He originally thought that there would be no problem if he persisted for an hour or two, but reality slapped him in the face again.
The way this Chinese army fights is completely different from the Chinese army he has come into contact with before. The Chinese army usually fights with men, but this army is different. Although they no longer use heavy artillery, they still have mortars.
They first fired several rounds of 60-caliber mortars at the target. Only after the target was almost destroyed, they began to charge.
Moreover, their charge is different from that of the general national army. These Chinese soldiers are usually divided into groups of three, and four groups form one team.
Among these four groups, there is a machine gun group, which is responsible for cover, and the remaining three groups are each responsible for attack. Each attack group has one soldier holding a submachine gun and the other two soldiers holding rifles.
Each group is in the shape of a triangle, with stormtroopers at the front and riflemen on both sides. The three groups will form a large triangle. They attack under the cover of the machine gun group at the rear.
Moreover, this attack formation is not static and will often change when encountering obstacles or different terrains.
Not only that, the most annoying thing is that these soldiers have no moral ethics at all. Once the attack is blocked, they will immediately call for artillery support.
This artillery fire is not heavy artillery, but mortars located in the rear.
Generally speaking, each opponent's platoon will be equipped with two mortars. Although these mortars are not large in caliber, they are extremely light and flexible and can follow the infantry. Moreover, these artillerymen have no idea what frugality means when they fire artillery.
, many warriors of the Japanese Empire were killed by such mortars.
"boom……"
A cannonball landed not far from Masao Miura. Although no one was hit, the flying dust and smoke still made Miura Masao and the two guards choke and cough.
A guard advised: "Your Majesty, Major, let's retreat to the mountain. The Chinese attack is too fierce."
Miura Masao looked at the figures in gray-green military uniforms that were slowly attacking and gritted his teeth: "Okay... pass my order and retreat to the top of the mountain to reorganize the defense line."
"Hi!"
A sharp whistle sounded, which was the order to retreat.
After hearing this sound, the Japanese army, which was still resisting with difficulty, began to retreat towards the top of the mountain with alternate cover.
Wu Chengfeng, who was at the foot of the mountain, was overjoyed when he saw this through the telescope: he picked up the walkie-talkie carried by the communications soldier beside him and said, "Third Company...Three Company, the Japanese are retreating to the top of the mountain. You should increase your attack immediately."
Strength, we must increase the effective force to annihilate the Japanese, and strive to capture Qixia Pass in one fell swoop."
