For infantry, the support of small artillery is more suitable than heavy artillery.
After all, when facing a system of trenches, in addition to those hard-pointed targets, general trenches and firepower points require weapons with fast response and intensive firepower.
From this perspective, the Type 92-type infantry gun is one of the few weapons designed by the Japanese army that can be well received by other countries' armies.
As these cannons were pushed to the front line by Japanese gunners and carried out the tactics of "cannons and bayonets", the 264th Brigade immediately suffered heavy losses.
The first to be hit were two armored vehicles protected by semi-buried fortresses. Their bodies were too high and were hit several times by infantry cannons. The armored vehicles were given direct orders and actually started to burn.
Idiots, idiots, idiots, they all got into the bunker and didn't know how to drain the oil, leaving only a little. Now... oh, what a waste, even if the armored vehicle is bombed, as long as it doesn't catch fire and has a machine gun inside, it's no better
Throw the machine gun outside and blast it with a Japanese grenade.
Then came the tank that caused huge losses to the Japanese. Not only was it attacked by infantry artillery, but the Japanese frontline artillery observers even called in several rounds of heavy artillery shells.
The loss of three firepower points immediately put the 264th Brigade's defense line into crisis.
Rows of grenade launchers fell into the trenches. Even if they did not show their heads and only threw grenades, the impact of the grenade launchers immediately left a gap in the 264th Brigade's battle line.
The Japanese soldiers responded much faster than the Guo army. They immediately started charging with bayonets in hand.
Several detachments of Japanese soldiers immediately rushed into the trenches and immediately started hand-to-hand combat with the Korean soldiers holding rifles or wielding swords.
Even Guan Shijie watched helplessly as many soldiers who only held clay grenades fired the clay grenades without hesitation when the Japanese were nailed to the trenches with bayonets.
The grenade that exploded in the trench not only blew up the Japanese, but also killed our own people.
The number of Guojun soldiers in the trenches in front decreased rapidly. After all, when it came to hand-to-hand combat, the training of the Guojun soldiers was far inferior to that of the Japanese army.
As for the soldiers of the Parachute School being able to defeat the Japanese, that was on flat ground. The men of the Parachute School's reconnaissance company had the advantage of being fast, having long swords, and the Japanese had to fight for the safety of stabbing them, as well as the weight of their tactical vests that the bayonet could not penetrate.
Advantage.
In that case, no matter who fights hand-to-hand with those who are more powerful and have faster swords, the result will not be good.
Just when Guan Shijie was worried about the people of the 264th Brigade, several heavy explosions exploded among the Japanese who rushed into the trench.
The gunners of the Guo Army were not willing to take shots, but for hitting such a fixed point, their shooting accuracy and speed were still good. Coupled with the excellent rate of fire of the 82 mortar, several units of Japanese soldiers were wiped out in an instant.
Not only that, but new companies moved into the trenches.
As reinforcements from the 264th Brigade arrived, the Japanese began to retreat.
As far as Guan Shijie is concerned, although the Japanese also suffered many casualties, they were obviously much less than those of the 264th Brigade.
One round of bombing and one round of artillery shelling almost wiped out three companies. The hand-to-hand fighting that broke out in the ensuing stalemate over clay grenades cost at least one more company.
So the three positions faced one Japanese attack and suffered more than 500 casualties. On the other hand, the Japanese retreating brigade should have suffered more than 100 casualties.
The exchange ratio of five to one is much better than the battles on the Songhu battlefield and the defense line.
As the Japanese retreated, Guan Shijie breathed a sigh of relief.
He had an impulse to call Zhang Sixing and ask him to teach the 264th Brigade how to drill holes for individual soldiers. Perhaps with such pride, the military casualties would be much less.
But then I thought about it, the Guo army also had gasoline barrel cannons. But after shooting, they didn't know to move the shooting position, and the Japanese grenades were taken away in the blink of an eye.
The Chinese army also has rough porcelain grenades, but they can only kill them by throwing them with their hands and using a cloth belt.
Even if it is not like the one made by Lao Yandian and others, it has an impact fuse, and it can hit fifty or sixty meters or something like that.
But after much thought, Guan Shijie felt that none of these methods could solve the fundamental problem. The problem was that these methods were used very well by the paratrooper school, but how to get them to Guo Jun always felt that they were not feasible.
In fact, not only did he have doubts about this issue, but Hansen also didn't understand it when he just put down the phone.
Compared with Guan Shijie's telescope observation on the front line, the periscope three meters above the ground in the command post can observe the battlefield more clearly. Hansen also transformed the responsibilities of an officer advisory group officer and told the 264th Brigade about his experience in the defense of the Parachute School.
people, but the answers they received were a series of difficulties.
For example, in broad daylight, how could we send people to the front to dig holes for individual soldiers? It would not be in vain for the Japanese to lose their lives.
As for the issue of multiple positions for gasoline cannons, since all the gasoline cannons are destroyed at this moment, there is no need at all.
Use a sling to throw the grenade. You can't find so many slings at the moment. The soldiers haven't practiced, so they might throw the grenade on their own heads.
After a series of euphemistic difficulties, Hansen's suggestion came to nothing.
He looked at Zhang Sixing in confusion. This man was lying on a sandbag to catch up on his sleep. It was difficult for him to not only be able to sleep due to the heavy artillery fire on the battlefield, but he was also snoring lightly.
"These guys, those experiences are what we have used, how come they have so many difficulties and can't do it? It's really hard for me to understand those people?"
Of course, the people in the command post couldn't answer this, but as soon as the sound of gunfire stopped, Zhang Sixing, who had already slept, ordered in a hoarse voice,
"Give me a cigarette."
"yes"
Hansen took out the cigarette and handed it to Zhang Sixing. He was about to repeat the question he just asked, but Zhang Sixing had already started to answer it for him.
"It's very simple. What they learned in the military academy is completely Japanese. The tactics are rigid and the concepts are rotten. Although they are mentally prepared for a head-on confrontation, they have never considered whether it is as big as a war or as small as a battle.
In fact, it is a complete system of confrontation.”
"System, what system?"
"Their combat system and combat concepts all come from Japan. Although they have received training from the German officer corps, in general, their tactics are still the same as the Japanese. They are brave enough, but their tactics are dull. And the suggestions you made,
It will make them make comprehensive changes to their current tactical system and even their way of thinking, which they simply cannot do."
This time not only Hansen understood it, but also Yelena who was staying here understood it.
"Is this why you don't directly establish a paratrooper force, but instead establish a paratrooper school?"
After blowing out a smoke ring, Zhang Sixing said softly,
"Not to mention changing a country, even just changing tactical thinking is an extremely difficult thing. If the German officer corps trained ten years in advance, it might change, but the impact on the overall Chinese army would be minimal. Therefore, I chose to establish a paratrooper school to provide
As the leading sergeant of the smallest tactical unit, this can improve the overall combat capability of this army to the maximum extent and as quickly as possible."
