Not only Qiu Chengzuo thinks so, but even his subordinates think so too... This is their habitual thinking after so many years of activity in Daqingshan. They have become accustomed to chasing the Eighth Route Army guerrillas and showing off in front of them.
Blessed.
In the words of the "Self-Defense Forces", in this area, apart from the Japanese, the "Self-Defense Forces" are the largest, and they have the final say in everything.
With this thought, they were like a group of robbing bandits, rushing towards the 102 heights in front of them, shouting at the same time:
"Catch a few more live ones and be more agile with your hands!"
"Quick, don't let them run away!"
…
Seeing this situation, Zhang Dabiao immediately ordered his troops to defend in place and then stood still.
"Hidden!" Zhang Dabiao passed on the order: "Wait until the enemy gets close before attacking!"
The "hide" command is a bit strange.
Because it is daytime now, and the Eighth Route Army has also built trenches on the high ground. This is obvious to the lice on the bald man's head, so why is there any need to hide?
But Zhang Dabiao considered one thing: the enemy probably didn't realize how many troops and equipment a battalion had when looking up from a low place, let alone what kind of troops a battalion was, so he couldn't believe it.
situation occurs.
So, in order to have a faster fight, of course we can't let them discover the truth too early, so we have to "hide it".
This move really worked. Seeing that there was no movement in the direction of the Eighth Route Army, the "Self-Defense Forces" thought that the Eighth Route Army was afraid. They were still a little wary at first, but now they completely let down their guard. They fired at random in demonstration and went up noisily.
Rush, there was an officer among them who shouted at the hilltop with a small trumpet:
"People above, listen, you have been surrounded! Raise your hands and surrender, I will give you a way to survive!"
Zhang Dabiao was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the soldiers beside him couldn't help laughing.
The soldiers whispered:
"These 'self-defense forces' are so arrogant even when they are about to die!"
"They call it 'no tears until you see the coffin'!"
…
Zhang Dabiao's eyes widened and he said: "Why are you laughing? Be serious, we are fighting!"
However, before he finished speaking, Zhang Dabiao couldn't help laughing out loud... Damn, his hands were bruised because he couldn't hold it back.
The instructor quickly straightened up and said: "Comrades, we must despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically. Now we are in tactical combat. We must not underestimate the enemy just because the enemy is too weak... No matter who the opponent is,
We all need to take it seriously!"
"Yes!" the soldiers responded, and then they seriously entered the current battle.
The enemy is getting closer and closer, like a swarm of ants crawling up the mountains and plains... Although the quality of the "Self-Defense Forces" is not very good, their number is several times that of the first battalion. There are few coming up this time.
There are said to be two thousand people.
Soon, the enemy was approaching the fifty-meter line.
This line is the danger line.
An important combat principle in positional warfare: Never let the enemy approach the fifty-meter line easily, even if the enemy is weaker than you.
The reason is simple. You can throw grenades after rushing into the fifty-meter line.
Throwing grenades does not require quality, and you can even defeat more with less... What if the grenade is thrown in a densely populated area of the opponent? The side with fewer people usually has more scattered troops, and it is difficult to be killed by grenades if the troops are dispersed.
Zhang Dabiao, who had experienced many battles, certainly knew this principle, so he did not hesitate, shouted "hit", took the lead in raising the box cannon and knocked down the two enemies with a few "bang bang" shots.
Immediately, fierce gunfire rang out, and rows of unsuspecting "self-defense troops" fell down like wooden stakes and rolled down the high ground.
At that moment, the "Self-Defense Forces" were frightened on the spot. They fell to the ground instantly, and all of them looked at the high ground above their heads with frightened eyes.
They all had only one question at this time: "What's going on? How could the Eighth Route Army have such strong firepower?"
Not only the "Self-Defense Forces" were frightened, Qiu Chengqiu was also startled by the gunfire. He was stunned for a moment, then stuck his head out from his hiding place and looked up the hill, muttering to himself: This is not a collision.
Have you come to the devil?
It's not surprising that Qiu Chengqiang would think so, because only the Japanese in this area have such strong firepower.
However, after he saw a few soldiers wearing Eighth Route Army caps on the top of the hill, he finally confirmed that they were the Eighth Route Army.
"This is not good!" Qiu Chengzuo said to his staff: "We have encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"
Then Qiu Chengzu shouted: "Retreat, retreat immediately!"
The "self-defense forces" lying on the mountain have been waiting for this order for a long time.
To be precise, they were not waiting for this order at all, but were frightened by the Eighth Route Army's firepower and lay on the spot unable to move. At this time, they came to their senses after hearing Qiu Chengzuo's order, exclaimed and turned around and ran away...
Some of the courageous ones turned around and ran, but quite a few of them didn't even have the courage to run, and just planned to surrender on the spot.
However, it was too late for the "Self-Defense Forces" to flee at this time.
Zhang Dabiao shouted: "Comrades, charge!"
"Come on!"
The soldiers jumped out of the trenches one by one and charged at the "Self-Defense Forces" with shining bayonets.
This was a completely one-sided massacre.
Although the soldiers held bayonets in their hands and were ready for close combat, they did not actually intend to fight hand-to-hand.
Because everyone knows one thing: it is obviously not cost-effective for high-quality troops to fight hand-to-hand combat with low-quality troops. Even the Japanese are not willing to fight hand-to-hand combat with the Eighth Route Army.
The reason why the Eighth Route Army charged was to maintain contact with the enemy and pursue them behind them.
Only the soldiers at the front were equipped with bayonets, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking at close range.
Most of the soldiers in the back row did not mount their bayonets, but shot at the target as they advanced.
(Note: Mounting a bayonet on the rifle will affect shooting accuracy)
These are not the focus, the focus is on those soldiers holding rocket launchers...
Since the independent regiment was mobilized secretly, it moved lightly. Needless to say, tanks and cars were not allowed to be brought along, and rocket launchers were also put aside for Yuncheng's defense.
The chief explained like this: "The defense of Yuncheng requires these equipments! This is a need for combat. If you, Li Yunlong, can complete the mission, I promise to return these equipments to you intact!"
The chief is not just talking nonsense, because he has such a plan. This is also the basic requirement for shifting the strategic focus to the north.
If you can't carry heavy equipment, Li Yunlong won't be polite if you carry light equipment.
Among them, the rocket launcher is a cart-load of transport... because Li Yunlong knew that this thing was a magical weapon whether it was for attacking or defending.
At this time, the soldiers of this battalion used anti-infantry rocket launchers on the "self-defense forces".
Just a "boom" sound was heard, and the rockets exploded in the air. Countless steel balls flew downwards with whistling sounds and green smoke, causing those "self-defense forces" who were trying to escape to fall down on the hillside in groups, wailing.
