Chapter 1160 Hesitation (Part 1, ask for a monthly ticket)
It was not until the infantry company entered the city gate hole carrying the sandbags from the city gate fortifications that the gunfire from Chen Yunfa and others alerted the Japanese troops in the city fortifications.
Some panicked shouts came one after another. After realizing that there was no response from the Japanese troops on the city wall, several consecutive flares were fired from the Japanese position more than 30 meters away towards the city wall. What caught the attention of the Japanese troops who woke them up was a group of dark blue
The military uniforms quickly built sandbag fortifications based on the city wall. At the same time, gunshots were fired and fire suddenly appeared on the city wall.
There were rows of rifles and several machine guns firing fiercely.
As soon as they heard the gunshots and knew that they could no longer kill people quietly, the officers and soldiers of the infantry company of the death battalion who climbed up the city wall using human ladders simply stopped hiding their whereabouts and shot directly at the Japanese positions.
The light of the flares not only illuminated the city wall, but also illuminated the Japanese army's positions. The Japanese army built a complete defensive position mainly on the streets and residential buildings on both sides of the streets.
Although he still felt a little regretful that he could not quietly deal with this large group of Japanese troops without having to pay any casualties, Zhou Shiyu was already very satisfied. People should not be too greedy if they can take it without spending a single soldier.
The important area under the city gate can also occupy favorable terrain to attack the Japanese troops in the city fortifications. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
However, it does not mean that occupying the upper and lower floors of the city wall and the city gate creates three-dimensional firepower. Our own troops are also dominant, and the firepower of the infantry company far exceeds the two light machine guns and one heavy machine gun that the Japanese army has exposed.
The Japanese troops were beaten until corpses littered the fields.
Only those on the front lines know that a fierce battle has just begun.
The Japanese army responded quickly and counterattacked fiercely.
The death camp also fired three illumination bombs at the Japanese positions, illuminating the Japanese positions behind the city wall. They quietly arrived at a point on the city wall and lay at the very back of the fortifications. Zhou Shiyu frowned and observed quietly.
For safety reasons, he didn't even use binoculars.
In this dark night, the danger factor brought to the commander by the telescope lenses that reflect under the flares will definitely increase exponentially. Just like the elite shooters of the infantry squad of the death camp, they never shoot randomly and only open fire when they find valuable targets.
Just like guns, the Japanese army also has lurking cold-blooded gunners hiding in corners that you can't see, scanning the Chinese positions for targets of greater value.
For example, an officer.
At this point, the Independent Regiment has always paid attention to it because Liu Tuanzuo, who was born in the special forces and loves to snipe enemy commanders. All officers are not allowed to wear military ranks during marching operations. They want their subordinates to obey the command and obey orders.
Always rely on facial recognition.
If there are still people in the independent regiment who don’t know you as a major or a captain and lieutenant, then you really take yourself too seriously and do not get along with the grassroots officers and soldiers, which is a dereliction of duty in itself. In Liu Lang’s view, fighting together
After five years of training, if you still can't become familiar among a mere three to four thousand people, then it's okay if you don't do it as an officer, just go to the infantry squad and become a soldier first.
In the first two years, many officers still had some of the old habits of the national army and did not take this topic that was not included in military regulations but that Liu Lang had already mentioned seriously, and any violation would not be exempted from military regulations.
Disposal: When officers and soldiers in the regiment gather for dinner, there is always a phenomenon where junior soldiers from different companies cannot recognize the chief officers of other infantry companies.
Without exception, these infantry company chief officers were sent with backpacks to the infantry squad of the infantry company to serve as recruits for half a month, until the officers and soldiers of the infantry company became familiar with the lieutenant.
Don't tell me, this trick worked very well. In the next two years, the officers who lowered their posture were almost all known to the soldiers, especially the shameless battalion commander like Zhao Ergou. Not only the soldiers were familiar with him
, even the workers of the regiment-affiliated munitions factory could talk about his love affair with his mouth.
For example, Battalion Commander Zhao once missed his wife so much that he took the head nurse Xiaocui, who was off duty at the field hospital, to the mountains to watch the moon during a day off.
It's a pity that God is not kind to him, and the time chosen is really coincidental. The special forces team who returned from the mission are conducting latent training...
Just as Battalion Commander Zhao was roaring in a hurry, ignoring the small wind on the mountain that was making his butt cold, Captain Yu, who really couldn't stand it, blew a whistle to withdraw the whistle. The seven members of the Fifth Special Forces Team were covered with dead branches.
Ye's disguise ran away from the couple who were "looking at the moon".
It is said that Diao Ye, the deputy captain of the Fifth Special Forces Team who was closest to the stunned Battalion Commander Zhao, grinned and said: So white!
I don’t know whether it means that the moon in the sky is white! Or that Battalion Commander Zhao’s butt is white. Maybe, the only thing worthy of Battalion Commander Zhao who really looked at the moon for half the night is that his wife is probably used to being a head nurse, so she met
In the case of "injection", the pants of the "injured" are usually taken off first.
Moreover, there are rumors that when Battalion Commander Zhao, who was pulled by his wife and stared at the moon for half the night, went to complain to Liu Tuanzuo about the shamelessness of the Special Forces Brigade for peeping into people's privacy, Liu Tuanzuo laughed so hard that he cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf, scaring all the four bears and left voluntarily.
The regiment headquarters hid in the field hospital. The sound was louder than bears and their wolf howls were much scarier.
Of course, it's a joke, but Liu Lang's move is a good way to implant the concept of equality between officers and soldiers of the Red Army in the early days of the founding of the future Republic into the independent regiment. Although it has not reached the high level of sharing food, living, and training together, but
There is no clear distinction between officers and soldiers as in the general national army, and the Japanese army's officers can beat and scold the lower-level soldiers arbitrarily and even torture and kill them. I don't know how strong they are.
In the independent regiment, the lowest-level officers and soldiers received not only generous military pay, but after solving their stomach problems, humans often start to think about spiritual things. And what Liu Lang gave them through this was dignity.
Dignity is actually needed by people from every class, especially those who were at the bottom who had no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. Their desire for dignity is not even less than food. Otherwise, how can red ideas come from
Can a single spark start a prairie fire? The people are the masters of their own affairs, which means they are given dignity.
Small and unwritten regulations often contain great principles.
Except for not wearing the military rank, everyone from Liu Lang to the private wear the same military uniform, and they also wear rubber-soled "Liberation Shoes" on their feet. If you want to distinguish the officers of the independent regiment, unless you are really good, you see him giving an order.
, otherwise, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to distinguish who was a soldier and who was an officer.
The two sides were already engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. While the Japanese army fired illumination bombs, the death camp fired more illumination bombs, illuminating the Japanese army's position covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters.
Harada Shinichi was worthy of being a front-line infantry commander, and his skill in constructing defensive positions was really good. The Japanese troops who placed fortifications on the city walls and city gate openings were actually far from an infantry squad, or even just one infantry squad.
Just as Zhou Shiyu thought, the city wall is short and thin and cannot be used as a main defensive position. If too many troops are deployed and the enemy has howitzers or even mountain artillery and infantry artillery, the city wall that collapses with one blast will become a ruin.
A burden on one's own military strength.
From the beginning, Harada Shinichi used each city gate and wall as an outpost. He only deployed a small team of fifteen people on it, with fifteen rifles and not even a machine gun. Even if there were enemies, the defenders in the rear positions would not
There will only be small reinforcements, not a large number of troops relying on the city wall to fight the invading enemy to death.
The real defensive power is the defensive position behind the city wall.
The Japanese army demolished all the residential buildings more than 30 meters away from the city wall, and used the demolished bricks, stones and solid wood to build fortifications based on the endless residential buildings, and they were very particular about it.
There is a main position and two wing positions. Each of the two wing positions has a light machine gun to form a cross-fire attack on the open area 30 meters in front of the main position. Although the rate of fire of the crooked machine gun is a bit sluggish, in such a situation where the two cross-fire forces
Under the attack, enemies who dare to charge will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
What's more, there is a Type 92 heavy machine gun on the main position. It is placed on the roof of a flat-roofed house and is tightly protected with sandbags. Only a shooting hole with a shooting range of 70 degrees is exposed, just like a shooting hole without
Unless they are bombarded with mortars, ordinary machine rifles pose no threat to them.
At the same time, the Japanese army also set up a first-line position and a second-line position. The two-line positions were only more than 20 meters apart, with private houses and lanes in between as cover. This not only allowed the soldiers in the first-line position to retreat to the second-line position at any time, but also made it more convenient.
When the second-line position adds troops to the first-line position, you cannot attack it due to the obstruction of these buildings.
The entire position is more than 300 meters wide, and almost all the passages at the south gate are included in its firepower. If you want to pass through, they must be defeated.
If artillery is used, such a position is naturally not worth showing off. Four mountain cannons are used to bombard the position wildly. Not only will these not-so-sturdy houses not become their shelter, perhaps because the collapse of the house can still
hasten their destruction.
Yes, when Harada Shinichi set up these positions, he did not include the Chinese artillery at all. Since the North China War, very few Chinese troops have mountain artillery, and even if they do, they will be defeated by Japanese aircraft and stronger artillery.
Fighting and hiding.
He probably didn't expect that one day he would face a Chinese army with mountain artillery and mortars, but he didn't have a single cannon.
Yes, the entire Jingxing County has few soldiers and no artillery, which is an absolute dilemma.
But Zhou Shiyu didn't dare to fire rashly. God knows how many Jingxing people lived in this area? It was easy for him to direct the artillery to fire, but when he buried the Japanese troops, he also buried his own compatriots. The consequences were not his.
What the battalion commander can bear.
But if you can't use artillery, you have to fight with infantry, and you have to pay a high price.
It seems that this is a dead end.
Zhou Shiyu, who dared to ask his artillery unit to fire on him, rarely hesitated at this time.
