Wang Xuexin did indeed use the communication differences among the Japanese to expose their flaws, just as Ichiro Koike thought.
This is actually not difficult.
Wang Xuexin first assumed that the group of "comrades" in front of him were Japanese soldiers.
On this basis, Wang Xuexin concluded that it was impossible for everyone to speak Chinese... It was not easy to train members of the Mainland Advancement Team. Dozens of them at a time were considered too many.
But there were hundreds of people in the team in front of them.
So Wang Xuexin came to the conclusion: there must be some people who don't know Chinese. It should be said that most people don't know Chinese.
In this case, why not fool the majority of people who cannot speak Chinese?
So there was the previous scene, where Wang Xuexin shouted in Japanese and then fired a very threatening shot.
The Japanese were indeed fooled. The Japanese who had their hats knocked off retracted their heads and lay on the ground shouting: "Damn it, have you been discovered?"
Koike Ichiro was a little helpless. Even if you weren't discovered, you would still be discovered if you shouted in Japanese like this!
In fact, it wasn't just this one, most of the Japanese who belonged to the Second Independent Mixed Brigade thought they had been discovered.
Now that he was discovered, there was no need to cover up, so he set up several machine guns and fired at the enemy at the first command.
It was too late for Ichiro Koike to stop it... In fact, it was meaningless to stop it, because it was a mass attack, and as long as one person made too much noise, he would be exposed.
Therefore, Koike Ichiro had no choice but to give up the idea of disguise and instead attack forcefully.
The instructor here was also shocked. When Wang Xuexin fired a shot, he wanted to criticize Wang Xuexin, but he had already thought of the words: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, how can you point the gun at your own comrade? Even if you are a good marksman,
You can't do it so recklessly, what if you hurt someone..."
But before he could say anything, the bullets from the opposite side flew over with a "swish". Not only that, the Japanese officer also shouted the Japanese command.
The instructor was stunned for a while before shouting, he is really a devil.
Then I felt a sense of fear in my heart.
There are so many Japs, and they are all Japs dressed as civilians and can speak Chinese. If they really get into Lujiagou, the headquarters and the entire Lujiagou will be destroyed!
insidious!
cunning!
Shameless!
…
If Comrade Wang Xuexin hadn't been so clever, there would have been a big problem!
Wang Xuexin didn’t think as much as the instructor thought.
He immediately ordered a counterattack, and he was secretly glad that the open land in front of him had been mined, leaving only a road in the middle as a passage. Otherwise, the more than 400 elite Japanese soldiers would have been more than enough to defeat people like him.
But now, the Japanese are afraid that they can only stare from the other side of the minefield.
The battle situation was indeed as Wang Xuexin imagined. Koike Ichiro realized that something was wrong just after he started attacking.
The Japanese detachment tactics are actually based on the infantry squad tactics of the West, especially those of the allies.
To put it simply, each squad is equipped with a light machine gun, which is also called a squad machine gun.
When attacking, the infantry squad first deploys with the machine gun as the center. At this time, the infantry squad has basically determined which range of the enemy can be suppressed by the firepower of the squad's machine gun and which locations are the blind spots of the machine gun.
Then, the infantry charged under the cover of machine gun fire. Their task was to approach the enemy's defense line within forty meters and then throw grenades to force the enemy out of the bunker.
Once the enemy is forced out, they will be shot down on a large scale by machine guns and rifles, and the defense line will be breached.
The Eighth Route Army was obviously unable to use this tactic because their equipment and ammunition were far from being equipped with one machine gun per squad.
At this time, Ichiro Koike adopted such a tactical attack.
More than a dozen machine guns were deployed in the front, and grenade launchers fired one after another in the direction of the enemy, covering their respective squads as they charged toward the enemy's position.
Koike Ichiro lay down behind a rock, and his telescope immediately pointed at the high ground behind the enemy's defense line.
To him, the enemy force in front of him was nothing worth mentioning. There were more than 500 people, and the distance was only more than 200 meters. They could be captured with a single charge.
Koike Ichiro had already planned to occupy this high ground immediately after breaking through the enemy's defense line, and then use this high ground as his base camp to launch a strong attack on Lujiagou.
However……
Before the Japanese infantry could advance very far, they fell in pieces amidst the explosions.
"Asshole!" Ichiro Koike yelled: "Watch out for the steel ball thunder!"
(The Japanese call directional mines steel ball mines)
Koike Ichiro's first judgment was the steel ball mine, because it saw the steel balls shining in the sun, and only the steel ball mine could cause such heavy casualties. After a few explosions, dozens of imperial soldiers fell.
.
Ichiro Koike was somewhat dissatisfied with the soldiers of the Second Independent Brigade. Even though they had been taught how to deal with directional mines during training, they still suffered a large number of casualties from them.
After all, they are still ordinary troops. Koike Ichiro hates that iron cannot become steel.
But Koike Ichiro soon discovered that he was wrong. One of his subordinates ran over and lay down next to him, reporting: "Your Excellency, Major, what our army encountered was not a steel ball mine!"
"What is that?" Koike Ichiro asked.
"We don't know!" The subordinates swallowed hard and replied with horror: "That's the enemy's new type of mine, we have never seen it before!"
Ichiro Koike withdrew his gaze and pointed the telescope at the battlefield. After a while, he discovered... that it was indeed not a steel ball mine.
To be precise, it is a steel ball mine, but it is another steel ball mine.
It can actually jump up from the ground, explode, and shoot out steel balls in all directions.
Are they still the Eighth Route Army?
There are such strange weapons!
The point is still extremely lethal!
If there are still traces of the previous steel ball mines, then this kind of steel ball mines now are veritable mines.
"Send the order, use grenades to clear mines!" Ichiro Koike ordered through gritted teeth.
"Yes!" The subordinate immediately conveyed the order.
But this is not a good approach.
The reason is that the killing radius of jumping mines is fifty meters, while the throwing distance of Japanese melon grenades is only about forty meters...
In fact, fifty meters is only the lethality range determined by jumping mines. The steel balls it shoots are still lethal within a range of seventy meters.
This means that the Japanese have to sacrifice their lives to clear mines.
If it can be cleared with life, then that's it. There will always be omissions in grenade demining. As long as one is missed and the Japanese troops push forward...then another piece will be blown up with a "bang".
Those who are blown down usually do not die. Their bodies are covered with steel balls and they are in great pain. Some have their eyes blinded, some have their bodies penetrated, some have their fingers broken, and so on. It is difficult to stand, let alone continue to fight.
.
After a while, the battlefield was filled with screaming and rolling Japanese soldiers.
Koike Ichiro's face became very ugly. He looked at both sides and saw mountains.
It is almost impossible to get around from the flank, and the enemy will be ready and waiting by then.
After thinking about it, Ichiro Koike ordered in a cold voice: "Continue the attack!"
Ichiro Koike did this to attract the enemy's attention.
If Kazuki Yamamoto was good enough, he would have realized that this side was in trouble after hearing the gunshots and explosions.
At that time, as long as Yamamoto sends a small team to launch a surprise attack from the rear, the enemy can be quickly defeated.
Only in this way can there be hope of victory in the battle.
