Chapter 118 Captain Huang who learned from the scriptures

In the end, the Japanese army did not find a way to deal with it.

If the ghosts were a group of people, it would actually be much easier to deal with. Using heavy artillery bombardment and infantry charges, this group of ghosts would be wiped out by them sooner or later.

But a ghost is a person, and you can't use all the heavy artillery to blast all places where ghosts may be for the sake of one person. This is obviously unrealistic.

For this reason, they had to come up with a relatively stupid method, which was to ask the captain of the attacking force to always pay attention to the casualties of the troops. Once the casualties in a certain area were relatively large, the ghost was likely to be in this area.

Once inside, they concentrated their heavy artillery and plowed the area for bombardment.

This is a simple and effective method.

Xia Yuan didn't know yet that what he did on the Luodian battlefield had already been noticed by the Japanese army, and his attention even reached the level of the division commander.

This has never happened before in the Korean battlefield. After all, the Korean battlefield is filled with volunteer soldiers who are like dragons, and some of their combat capabilities are even more powerful than Xia Yuan's. Only then can they truly be compared to gods with mortal bodies.

On September 20th, there was only one day left before the Japanese army's general offensive.

The heavy rain turned into light rain, and billowing black clouds shrouded the position, quietly brewing a huge storm.

The defenders on the position were idle, some were on guard, some were sitting at the entrance of the tunnel chatting, some were smoking, chatting and spanking, and some were busy cleaning their guns and arranging their equipment. When rainwater accumulated in the trenches, the soldiers used stones and soil to cover the tunnels.

A low embankment was built at the entrance. Some soldiers were smarter and dug a drainage ditch along the edge of the trench, and then connected the drainage ditch to the collapsed and abandoned tunnels. In this way, the water in the trench would flow down.

Follow the drainage ditch and stay in the abandoned tunnel.

The ground in the trenches is muddy and easy to slip. Some veterans will sprinkle some stones on their shooting positions to prevent slipping.

Some soldiers would put some green plants on their trenches for camouflage.

Platoon Leader Li and his men also disguised his platoon's defense line.

They are a company that holds the forward position on the frontal battlefield and is the leading company. The troops in the rear will provide them with fire support at any time. Everyone knows one thing in their hearts. The forward position is the key target of the Japanese army and the casualties will be very high.

Xia Yuan did not give them some inspiring words, such as defending the home and the country, etc. It was of no use to them. He only needed to tell them a simple truth.

How the Chinese bully us is our own business, and we cannot allow an outsider to interfere. What's more, this outsider still has the idea of ​​​​wiping out us, so we cannot tolerate them being rampant and trying to invade us in a tiny place.

We will never agree.

Wang Yaowu is a good division commander, and the soldiers are willing to follow Wang Yaowu. Xia Yuan is also a good company commander, with strong combat capabilities. Qiu Weida has long told the brothers of the 301st Regiment about Xia Yuan's deeds, so everyone knows this

The company commander is a talented person, and he may become a famous anti-Japanese general in the future. Everyone listened to what he said, and there was no falsehood or empty talk. Every word made sense.

Then, Xia Yuan consolidated the position, especially the machine gun fire points, which would be bombarded by Japanese artillery, but there was no way to deal with the Japanese artillery. The Czech style was okay, as it could move anytime and anywhere. He put the infantry in front

, put the Czech type in the trench at the rear, do not put infantry in that trench, only put light machine guns, and extend the trench outwards, digging more protruding trenches for machine gun firepower.

Responsible for allowing soldiers using Czech light machine guns to move easily.

The Japanese have observers who can accurately detect their extremely powerful firepower points. There is a high probability that they will use flat-fire cannons or mortars to bomb the machine gun firepower points. Therefore, it is necessary to move the light machine gun to prevent the machine gun firepower from being blocked by the Japanese artillery.

Knock it off.

Not placing infantry in the rear can also prevent the Japanese from bombing the infantry when bombing the machine gun firepower point.

Heavy machine guns are relatively troublesome. Weight is a problem and they are not easy to move. Xia Yuan strengthened the firepower point of the heavy machine gun and accumulated a lot of sand dunes in front of the machine gun firepower point. The sand dunes would block the sight of the heavy machine gunner and affect the performance of the heavy machine gun, but

Similarly, it can also affect the Japanese flat-fire artillery. As for mortars, just use logs and sandbags to thicken the upper fortifications.

Blocking the line of sight and affecting the performance of the heavy machine gun is at least much better than being shot down by the Japanese's flat-firing artillery before it is fully effective.

Even if it only plays a small role, it will be of great help to the infantry fighting in the front.

Xia Yuan's countermeasure was to ensure that the machine gun firepower point existed even if it affected the machine gunner. The Japanese army knew that the machine gun firepower point had not been shot down, so they would definitely be more careful.

When Wang Yaowu learned of Xia Yuan's arrangement, he could only applaud and praise, "Wonderful! The Japanese artillery is the biggest threat to the machine gun fire point. Many times, not long after the machine gun fired, it was shot down by the Japanese flat-fire cannon. In front of the machine gun fire point

Piling up sand dunes will indeed affect the performance of the machine gunners, but at least it will ensure that the Japanese army's flat-fire artillery cannot hit the machine gun fire points."

As Xia Yuan said, it is much better to only play a small role than to be blown up by the Japanese Japanese's flat-fire cannon.

In addition to arranging firepower points, Xia Yuan put a lot of effort into arranging infantry. The forward position is a buffer zone to block the Japanese army. It is just outside the village. You can retreat to the rear defense line through tunnels at any time and at any time.

, even if it was occupied by the Japanese army, it would not have much impact.

The forward position was only a hundred meters away from the rear, which was the distance Xia Yuan could throw a grenade.

He had no intention of defending here, but no matter what, he had to cause some casualties to the Japanese.

Xia Yuan's only arrangement for the infantry of the company is that when fighting with bayonets, no one should be timid. Fight the Japanese as a team. Don't be reckless and fight with the Japanese alone. You must fight with the Japanese on the bayonet as a class unit and reduce the number of soldiers.

casualties.

There are many winding trenches, intertwined with each other, spreading to the plains far away. The 51st Division's defense line is relatively wide, with several infantry regiments lined up and occupying some important villages. The 301st Regiment occupies an intermediate position.

, serving as the main team.

Right in front of the 301st Regiment is the small town, eleven kilometers away from the 301st Regiment's position.

After several days of heavy rain, the Japanese army slowed down their fortifications. Only a corner of the town was left, still in the hands of the 301st Regiment. The regiment headquarters had withdrawn from the front and was two kilometers away from the division headquarters.

"It's strange that this little Japanese devil has been fighting for so long and is still not in a hurry to knock down the town in front."

The veteran stood on the battlefield and looked at the undulating horizon.

There are rice fields, dirt roads, low mounds, swaying woods, cemeteries, small villages, etc. Even though they are far away, you can't hear the gunshots coming from the front line, let alone the current situation at the Du family house.

how's it going.

"Maybe it has been defeated. We must be prepared to respond at any time." Lao Li stood aside and observed the situation in the surrounding area with the telescope given to Xia Yuan by the division headquarters.

The telescope was of little help to Xia Yuan, so he gave it to the veterans and others.

"The calm before the storm, the Japanese are also preparing for a general attack. We have occupied Luodian for a long time, and the Japanese are anxious." Xia Yuan thought about the situation of the Battle of Songhu, which lasted for more than three months.

The fighting in Luodian has been going on for a month, so it stands to reason that the Japanese reinforcements will soon arrive.

After Luodian was captured by the Japanese army, the Japanese army would further attack in the direction of Dachang, and the Battle of Hazaobang began.

The veteran believed Xia Yuan's words deeply. He nodded and said: "We must be prepared at any time, company commander. I will arrange some scouts to conduct reconnaissance in the village ahead?"

"Go ahead and tell the scout to be careful."

Xia Yuan only knew that the Japanese would attack, but he did not know when.

I looked up at the sky, and saw tiny raindrops falling on my face, making it feel cold and ice-cold.

The weather is not very good, and it will have a certain impact on the Japanese planes. If he were a Japanese, he would definitely not put the general attack on today. After all, he would have to wait until the weather cleared.

But if the Japanese army is anxious to expand the war, then the situation is different. Maybe it is raining heavily and the Japanese army will launch an attack.

In short, nothing is certain.

Niu Qian ran over pattering through the muddy water, "Company Commander, the machine gun firepower points at the back have been set up. Go and take a look."

Xia Yuan nodded, "You guys are watching from here. I'll be back as soon as I go."

The machine gun firepower was placed in the second trench on the forward position. The terrain of the second trench was relatively higher, but not too high. The water flowed out from the village. The higher the terrain, the better the visibility.

Be more open.

Every ten meters in the winding trench, there is a single fire point extending outward, so that the machine gunner can change the fire point at any time.

"Company commander, the company commander of the sixth company is here."

The Erlunzi came from a distance with a rifle on his back, followed by several rough men with dark faces and thick hands. They were wearing raincoats and no hats, and their hair was as curled as withered grass.

Since the defense line of the 301st Regiment is very long, the company led by Xia Yuan is not the only company occupying the forward position. Companies from several battalions have entered the forward position and are responsible for holding on. The Sixth Company is right next to it, very close to each other.

One is in the north of the village, and the other is in the south of the village. They are only a few hundred meters apart, and they can see each other quite clearly.

"I've heard Brother Xia's name for a long time, Huang Decai, Captain of the Sixth Company." Huang Decai came over, saw Xia Yuan, and laughed loudly: "What Brother Xia did on the front line is already known to everyone in the 301st Regiment.

Many people want to come over and take a look at Brother Xia."

Huang Decai looked at Xia Yuan's size and couldn't help sighing.

I have long heard that a man with very strong combat ability came from the 301st Regiment. He was known as the ghost. With a platoon of troops, he beat the crap out of the Japanese. He even killed the Japanese with his own strength.

The armor was discarded. At first, few people believed it. Those who had actually fought with the Japanese knew that the Japanese's combat capabilities were quite powerful. When fighting them with bayonets, even two or three people would hardly be their opponents.

One person needs to risk his life to block the knife, while the remaining two attack the Japanese from the left and right sides.

Killing Japanese soldiers alone sounds a bit mysterious.

But not only did their regiment commander believe it, but even the division commander also believed it. Moreover, this company commander, known as the ghost, led a company of soldiers to withstand the Japanese attack for a whole day. The position was not lost at all, and only the steel helmet was lost.

, more than a hundred were captured, which means that they destroyed more than a hundred enemies.

What shocked everyone even more was that the more than 100 Japanese-style steel helmets captured were only captured by the defenders in the direction of Dujiazhai, and the defenders' strength was less than one squad.

This shocked almost all the soldiers. The Japanese were very difficult to defeat. Almost all the soldiers who came down from the front line knew this very well.

The combat capabilities of the Japanese army are obvious to all. It can be said that it is almost impossible to defeat more with less.

But Xia Yuan did it. Not only did he do it, he also killed so many Japanese soldiers.

Huang Decai thought that Xia Yuan must have his own way of dealing with the Japanese, and wanted to come here to learn from it. Even if he learned a little, when facing the Japanese, the company would not suffer heavy casualties, or even lose all of them.

Faced with Huang Decai's flattery, Xia Yuan just smiled and said: "If you have anything to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall. If Captain Huang has something to do, just tell him."

"There are really some things that I just want to learn from. Brother Xia can defeat the Japanese with less, so he must have a lot of combat experience. I'm here to learn from them and learn from them."

Captain Huang pondered and continued: "In the battle of Luodian, the Sixth Company served as the main attacking team. Half of them died, but only more than 20 of the enemy were killed. Compared with other teams, such casualties were small, and the results were quite rich. Not only

We captured the Japanese position and also captured two mortars and grenade launchers."

"It's not much. It's not like the results of Brother Bisha's battle. With small casualties, hundreds of enemy soldiers were killed, and a large number of weapons, ammunition, and grenades were seized. If I learn from my experience, I may be able to avoid more casualties in the company.

"

Captain Huang's idea was good, but Xia Yuan knew in his heart, where could he get the truth? He relied entirely on his personal combat ability to defeat the Japanese, and because the Japanese army had few troops, once the scale of the war increased to the division level

, we can only change the direction of some small wars through personal efforts, but the direction of big wars cannot change anything.

That was what he thought in his heart, but Xia Yuan had rich combat experience and a good understanding of the Japanese army. There were some ways to avoid huge casualties.

In terms of arranging troops, it goes without saying that those who can become company commanders are all real people. In addition, they have dug many shallow tunnels and bomb shelters in their positions. There is no need to do this by yourself.

Talk about it. Like in the anti-Japanese drama, the trenches are dug in a straight line. Once the war starts, the scene of a group of people crowded in a trench will basically not appear.

Company levels are mostly based on platoons, either in a triangle or in a line.

People also have the ability to learn. When they see the Japanese using triangles, these officers will also imitate the Japanese using triangles.
