On the outer position of Jinling, what Cao Zijin, Guan Shijie, and Hu Yang were waiting for first was not the defeated troops of the 114th Division, but the reinforcements of the 13th Division as the second-line troops, launching the first attack.
Cao Zijin established a joint command post with Guan Shijie and Hu Yang.
This is too exaggerated. It's just that there is no battle scale of a regiment, and a joint command post should be established. But as far as the rules of the paratrooper school are concerned, a battle and a battlefield must be under unified command. This is the prerequisite for efficient combat.
A periscope observation mirror was erected in the joint command post. In addition to the field phone, it was a walkie-talkie from the Japanese army. This made the three of them feel like they were senior officers.
"Sure enough, the kid doesn't know how to use a tank. There are so many tanks and he's just killing them. If the commander sees this, he will definitely..."
There were as many as twelve tanks in front of them, including nine armored vehicles. Apparently the Thirteenth Division received additional support from a tank squadron.
To the inexplicable joy of the three commanders in the joint command post, the Japanese understanding of tanks did not exceed the level of the first world.
The tank stopped five hundred meters away and was conducting an ineffective attack on the position that was full of individual soldier holes. In front of the tank were the infantrymen who had opened a skirmish line and began to attack the position of the paratrooper school.
Using tanks to cover infantry to launch attacks will prove to be foolish when Germany launches the European War in the future.
Tanks and armored vehicles should be grouped together, and then quickly penetrate the enemy's far-reaching supply channels and carry out separate attacks. From a certain point of view, the people's army's intersecting operations during the "Seventeen-Nation Allied Forces" were comparable to the breakthrough of the German armored group.
, the same as interspersed.
The only thing is that the People's Army did not have enough armored forces at that time.
"Five hundred meters away, we can't deal with those tanks and armored vehicles."
After Guan Shijie let go of the periscope observation mirror, Cao Zijin stepped forward to take a look, and felt helpless when he spoke.
"They can't deal with us either. Those tanks don't pose much of a threat to individual soldiers. If they dare to get close, our soldiers can kill them."
After lighting a cigarette, Guan Shijie subconsciously touched his beard, but unfortunately he could only find his face armor.
"It's not necessarily impossible to deal with them. It's only five hundred meters away. If not, let's fly a few kites over there."
Listening to Hu Yang's suggestion, Cao Zijin, who claimed to have received a formal military school education, remained silent. At this moment, he was carefully observing the Japanese infantry's attacks on the "single soldier holes" on the battlefield.
Even though there was almost a regiment of Japanese soldiers, they attacked in three directions at the single soldier's hole-in-the-wall position. In fact, the people from the paratrooper school carried out a unilateral massacre of the Japanese army.
The heavy artillery bombardment was over, and the supporting tanks and infantry artillery were also banging. But in Cao Zijin's eyes, those attacks had minimal impact on individual soldiers' holes.
Because the infantry shooting in the individual soldier's hole was all done under command.
"The first platoon prepares...fires...loads...the second platoon..."
Not only are the soldiers of a company divided into platoons, but each platoon is also divided into infantry squads for shooting. Which unit's turn it is, which unit will suddenly emerge from the ground and fire a row of bullets.
For those who launch night attacks, such shooting is the most annoying.
The person who just shot you with a gun was from the east. The next shot may come from the west, and the next time may...
Because it only takes a moment to fire a bullet, the supporting artillery fire cannot even obtain the opponent's exact position and cannot effectively suppress it.
In this case, we had to fire multiple rounds of illumination bombs, and then...then the opponent's almost countless snipers shot the illumination bombs into a cloud of sparks in the sky that would be extinguished in an instant.
At this time, the Japanese troops attacking from three directions were quickly approaching the parachute school's defense line. Cao Zijin had a hunch that the enemy might immediately launch an attack on the parachute school's defense line.
"The devils are about to charge."
After leaving the periscope, Cao Zijin said something. He took the cigarette handed over by Guan Shijie and took a puff without any pressure.
I didn't feel embarrassed at all about the fact that the Japanese infantry was about to launch an attack.
As Cao Zijin, who received a formal military school education, he knew that the Japanese infantry attack simply did not have the ability to break through the paratrooper school's defense line.
Even if the infantrymen of the Parachute School don't shoot, they won't be able to attack.
Essentially speaking, the Japanese army and the Chinese army have similar attack techniques on the battlefield. Heavy firepower suppresses the opponent's firepower, and then everyone opens a skirmish line to charge.
But what is in front of the front line of the paratrooper school now is three knee-high "Voldemort" barbed wire fences. When the Japanese without rocket mines get there, they can only slowly cut the barbed wire fences, or simply jump on the grid.
The other thing is to deal with the swarms of bullet mines, helmet mines, or the booby traps laid by soldiers with cheap clay grenades that everyone knows how to do.
This kind of position can only be led by tanks and opened up passages, and even armored vehicles with rubber wheels are not allowed to attack.
"I agree with Second Lieutenant Hu's suggestion. The river releases heat at night, and here is far from the sea, so the wind on the river will form a northerly wind, which is different from that on the seaside. I think the kite tactic is feasible."
Guan Shijie has no opinion on this. How to effectively utilize natural conditions is a required subject for officers at all levels in the paratrooper school.
Guan Shijie said nothing, but casually glanced at the dimly lit command post. There was an arrow in the command post linked to the weather vane on the top of the bunker.
At this moment, the wind direction is pointing in the direction of the Japanese. Nothing could be more suitable than this.
"Let's try it. It's best if you can set the Japs tanks on fire. Even if you can't burn the tanks, lighting a fire behind the Japs will help the soldiers shoot."
The dark night is fair to both the offensive and defensive sides on the battlefield. No one can see clearly, and no one dares to light a searchlight or provide other light sources easily.
The Japanese knew very well that the people on the opposite side had used shady means to steal their tanks. Although the military headquarters repeatedly conveyed that the "Four Elements Demon King" liked to steal the equipment of the Japanese army, the 13th Division on the second line did not pay much attention to it.
.
When the troops they sent to reinforce the 114th Division were "robbed", they knew exactly which troops they had encountered. Therefore, when they went to the battlefield again, everyone wore gas masks.
Despite this, their attack was not smooth.
"??......"
The whistle sounded, and groups of Japanese soldiers straightened their bayonets and long rifles. They ran forward as they were training.
Originally this was nothing, just like attacking the position held by the Guo army.
Unfortunately, the flares would be shattered as soon as they hit the sky, so the Japanese army failed to illuminate the battlefield for such a long time.
After running less than twenty meters, the Japanese soldier in front tripped and fell to the ground.
Even when they charged, the opponent didn't fire a single shot, and the people in the front row were already injured by the "Voldemort" barbed wire.
