At 1 pm on June 25, 1938, the second defensive position of Qingfeng Village
Zhou Weiguo lay in the position, holding a telescope, looking at the Japs in front who were ready to attack, and murmured to himself, "Looking at the number, it is indeed a regiment! The Japs are now at odds with us!"
"Weiguo, how do we fight?" Fang Shengli asked, having just put down his telescope.
"We will fight normally in the afternoon. Now we have sufficient weapons reserves. Although we have a small number of people, we can still suppress the Japanese with firepower." Zhou Weiguo said, "Besides, I have sent people to call Xinda and the others to come back.
"
"But the pressure is still great."
"Second Master, now all our brothers who can shoot are on the battlefield, and some brothers who were slightly injured before are also on the battlefield." Morita said to Zhou Weiguo at the side.
"Okay, let the brothers not save bullets, just hold back the Japs." Zhou Weiguo said, "Huzi, you arrange the brothers of the special team to first snipe the Japs' gunners and machine gunners, and then the Japs' sergeants.
, and the company platoon commander.”
"yes!"
"Brother, Xiao Xie, the fight will start soon. You ask the brothers to protect themselves and ensure the output of firepower." Zhou Weiguo said, "Now our manpower can no longer withstand too much effort."
Zhou Weiguo looked at Zhu Ziming and Xie Weiwei and warned, "As long as the people are still there, even if the position is gone, we can take it back."
"Okay!" Zhu Ziming and Xie Weiwei nodded and agreed. After all, they are both leaders of the same party, so they still have such knowledge.
…
The largest combat unit of a single arm of the Japanese army is the regiment (12 to 14 infantry guns, fewer than the German army in World War II). Generally, the Japanese army regards the regiment as a regiment-level unit. A regiment of 3,800 people is significantly larger than an infantry unit of the Chinese army at the same time.
The Corps is equivalent to the "standard" of the Beiyang Army. It includes a 54-person headquarters; a 121-person transportation team (with carts and mules and horses), carrying a day's worth of supplies for the regiment headquarters and direct subordinate companies, as well as possible attachments
The division's field kitchen; an 81-man ammunition squad carrying a day's worth of ammunition; three infantry brigades (108 light machine guns, 36 heavy machine guns, the same as the German army); an artillery squadron of 122 men. The artillery squadron, with an organization of 122
personnel, including a 25-man squadron, an observation team, a 31-man ammunition team, and three 31-man artillery teams (each artillery team has two 15-man artillery teams, equipped with a 70 mm nine-gun
Second infantry artillery). A very small number of regiments have an artillery brigade of 364 men, organized into two squadrons of 170 men (mountain artillery and infantry artillery), each with 4 guns. The anti-tank squadron of the regiment has 122 men, including 20 men.
Squadron headquarters, 21-man ammunition squad, three 33-man gun squads (each with two 37mm anti-tank guns). The communications squadron has a telephone squad (4 to 6 telephone squads, each squad has 3 telephones, a switch
), a radio team (5 to 8 radio stations). During the battle, telephones and radio stations were assigned to each brigade and directly affiliated brigade. The brigade's health system is very weak. The brigade only has 2 doctors and 2 hygienists, and the brigade has
There are three doctors and four hygienists, and the squadron has four hygienists.
…
"Victory, once the Japs start to rush up in a while, you go to the back of the position and ask all the artillery platoons to shoot out the shells for me." Zhou Weiguo thought for a while, "Then let them extend the attack. Although the Japs have artillery squadrons, but
It’s not like we have nothing, we also have to let the Japanese have a taste of our artillery. Moreover, I will make the Japanese artillery misfire!”
"Okay." Fang Shengli nodded and agreed.
…
At 1:25 p.m., the Japanese attack began.
There is not much new idea. The shelling is still carried out first, and several 92 infantry cannons attack first. 92 infantry cannon, maximum range: 2788 meters, a weapon in the Japanese military equipment, developed by Japan in November 1928, March 1930
Put into use, the mass is 0.212 tons. It is known as "one inch short, one inch dangerous". It was an "ideal" infantry battalion support weapon in the 1930s and 1940s. Especially for countries with a very low degree of mechanization.
This is especially true. In addition, it is very suitable for use on complex terrain. For example, it is very handy for supporting infantry battalions in mountain warfare. Moreover, it has a wide range of tasks and can cover almost all types of fire support required by infantry battalions. In addition,
The simple structure not only facilitates wartime production, but is also easy to use and maintain.
For Zhou Weiguo, the Japs artillery that is loading shells is like a target. Although the maximum range of the 92 infantry cannon is 2788 meters, the Japs will not stand 2788 meters away from him to attack. They will definitely move forward.
A few hundred meters, or even 1,000 meters forward, because the range of ordinary rifles is 600-800 meters, which is absolutely impossible to hit the artillery. However, the Japanese will not count that Zhou Weiguo and others will have Barrett. Count them.
Including Zhou Weiguo, the special operations team now has a total of 12 people and 12 sniper rifles.
Zhou Weiguo lay on the ground, squinting his right eye and looking into the sight with his left eye. In his field of vision was the commander of the Japanese artillery squadron, a captain. In the special operations team, there is already a default rule that Zhou Weiguo's target is usually the enemy.
Xu Hu's direct commander, while Xu Hu's target was the second person besides the direct commander, and the other team members were gunners or machine gunners who directly sniped at the enemy.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the commander of the Japanese artillery squadron fell down in response.
Then, there was another series of gunshots, and more than 10 people from the Japanese artillery squadron fell directly.
The Japanese artillerymen who were not hit all started to find bunkers!
"Baga! The enemy actually has a sniper!" Ito Seiji shouted, "Hidden!"
But Ito Seiji's words did not have much effect. After all, the Japanese artillery was still within the range of Zhou Weiguo and others' sniper rifles. Zhou Weiguo and others had already looked for the next target. Within a minute, the Japanese artillery was hit.
Nearly 50 people died.
"Order, all personnel retreat 3,000 meters!" Ito Seiji said to the messenger.
…
Zhou Weiguo used a telescope to look at the retreating Japanese troops, and his face suddenly became unsightly. The Japanese commander was too calm, and it was difficult to deal with such a calm person.
"Haha, brother, the Japanese were so frightened by you that they retreated." Zhu Ziming laughed and shouted to Zhou Weiguo.
"Master is indeed amazing!" Xie Weiwei also shouted!
"The second master is mighty!" Shoutian Liwu also shouted!
For them, of course they were afraid of the Japanese when they retreated. If the Japanese were afraid, it would naturally mean that their side was stronger. Although it was not wrong to think so.
…
"Your Excellency, Captain Yamashita, the diameter of Captain Yamashita's wound exceeds 1 centimeter. At present, there is no sniper rifle with such a large caliber. Judging from the bullet caliber, the sniper rifle used by the enemy is similar to the Browning M2 heavy machine gun.
The caliber is the same. As far as the current Chinese battlefield is concerned, even if the Chinese army has Browning machine guns, they are M1917. Therefore, the enemy's equipment is unknown and the enemy's affiliation is unknown." A Japanese lieutenant reported to Ito Seiji.
"In other words, the unit on the opposite side is very likely to be the special unit we are looking for!" Ito Seiji touched his chin, thinking, and said, "But it is less than 5 kilometers away from Qingfeng Village.
Bianjun's first regiment was involved in the accident about 10 kilometers away from Qingfeng Village."
"Your Excellency, Captain, is it possible that that special force is Qingfeng Village?"
"Tasigani! The location where we met that force twice is too special. What you said is possible. However, I still don't think that a group of bandits could be that special force. I think it is very possible.
It was that special force that took in the bandits from Qingfeng Village as its subordinates."
"Your Excellency, the captain, is indeed someone who is proficient in Chinese tactics!"
"Haha!" What Ito Seiji likes to hear the most is others praising him for being proficient in Chinese tactics. He likes Chinese culture very much, especially tactics. He even highly admires Sun Tzu's Art of War. He believes with great confidence that in war
, you must know yourself and the enemy to be able to win every battle. However, after he finished laughing, he felt very embarrassed and said, "So, Sato-kun, what do you think?"
"I haven't thought of it yet." Sato Ji'an shook his head, "However, I think it is best to first find out which army our enemy is."
"I think so too." Ito Seiji nodded, "Order the troops to withdraw another 5 kilometers. Then, Sato-kun, you are proficient in Chinese, so I will leave the investigation task to you."
"Hi!"
…
"Weiguo, these devils are not simple." Fang Shengli stood beside Zhou Weiguo and frowned.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "It is indeed not easy to retreat so decisively after being hit."
"Captain, the Japanese have withdrawn again. In total, they have withdrawn 16 miles!" Zhang Ruikuan ran over and said.
Zhou Weiguo and Fang Shengli looked at each other, feeling confused and having a bad premonition.
"Hahaha, the little devil must be scared." Zhu Ziming laughed, "Brother, tell me, should we fight or not?"
"We must fight. The Japanese only retreated 16 miles and did not return to Laiyang County." Zhou Weiguo thought for a while and said, "In this case, brother, you and your brothers will continue to stay on the position and pay more attention.
Be alert, if the Japanese still don't attack until nightfall, then I will go over with the special forces team and have a look."
Zhu Ziming nodded and said, "That's fine. Brother, you have to be more careful."
"rest assured."
…
In a forest near Qingfeng Village, after a gunshot, a rabbit fluttered twice and stopped moving.
"Brother Shuisheng, you are still the best!" A young man said with a smile and a hint of envy in his tone.
"You, practice your eyesight more, and you will be so good in the future." A young man replied with a smile, "I have enough prey today, Gensheng, I will give you this rabbit to take home to your parents."
.”
"Brother Shuisheng, how bad is this."
"Just take it if I ask you to," Shuisheng said, pretending to be angry.
"Okay. Thank you, Brother Shuisheng!" Gensheng looked at Shuisheng gratefully. He knew that Shuisheng was taking care of himself.
"Fellow, fellow!" Two men wearing blue and gray uniforms of the Eighth Route Army came towards Shui Sheng and the two.
"Hey, Comrade Eighth Route Army!" Gensheng said excitedly.
Shuisheng was a little wary. He didn't realize where the two people came from just now. As an excellent hunter, he intuitively felt that the aura of these two people was somewhat dangerous.
