cpa300_4; When Leng Tiefeng was commanding the No. 1 Squadron to repair the fortifications, Xu Rui had already called more than 20 cadet soldiers from the youth training team and conducted a pre-battle teaching. kanshhu latest update
Practical teaching is always the best.
In the classroom, no matter how much you talk, it will win over the students. It is good if the students can learn three or four points. But on the battlefield, because they have intuitive feelings, it is easier for the students to accept it.
Xu Rui pointed to the position of the 1st Squadron and explained: "When arranging defensive positions, you must not concentrate all the troops on one line. Instead, you should arrange them in front and back echelons to form a certain defense depth. If there is no depth in the front line arrangement,
As long as the enemy breaks through a little, your defense line will immediately collapse. If there is depth, when the first line of defense collapses, you can still rely on the second line of defense to continue to resist the enemy's attack."
"In addition to allocating troops in echelons to create depth, we must also pay attention to protecting the flanks."
"Look, why does the No. 1 Squadron have a squad on the northwest side of the main position? It's to protect the flanks. With flank protection, you don't have to worry about the enemy's roundabout attacks."
When talking about flank protection, Xu Rui deliberately emphasized his tone.
In this era, everyone from grassroots officers to senior generals have basically never been exposed to modern military. Even the military students who graduated from the Central Military Academy have not been exposed to modern military theory in the true sense. When building defense lines, they often use
The troops were spread out in a straight line, with neither depth protection nor flank protection. The Japanese army only needed to break through one point, and the entire defense line would immediately collapse.
The most typical example is the Battle of Xinkou. The Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army deployed more than fifty divisions in front of Xinkou, but they did not place even a single regiment at Niangziguan on the side and rear. As a result, the Japanese army only dispatched a mere infantryman.
The brigade flanked Niangzi Pass, and Xinkou's defense line collapsed immediately. The 300,000-strong army collapsed overnight.
Of course, Leng Tiefeng attended West Point Military Academy and systematically studied modern military theory.
Therefore, Leng Tiefeng did not place all the troops of the first squadron in front, but only placed the first squadron in front, then placed the second squadron two hundred meters behind the first squadron, and then drew out the third squadron.
One squad protects the flank, and the remaining two squads serve as reserves to prepare for a counterattack at a critical moment.
Leng Tiefeng's defensive deployment has depth of defense and flank protection.
After demarcating the defense area, more than 150 veterans of the 1st Squadron immediately began intensive construction of fortifications.
These more than 150 veterans are basically veterans from the temporary 79th Division. They are very good at repairing fortifications. In less than half a minute, the two main trenches and the communication trenches connecting the front and rear trenches were already in outline. However,
It will take time to dig out the outline into solid fortifications.
It would be too late anyway with just one squadron on its own.
Xu Rui was about to lead the youth training team forward to help, but suddenly there was a noise behind him.
Looking back, I saw Wang Husheng, secretary of the Southern Anhui Special Committee, coming with hundreds of fellow villagers.
Good guy, your organizational and mobilization abilities are so strong, you really can’t do it if you don’t accept it.
Xu Rui estimated that the local government of Meizhen may not have been formally established yet, but they were able to mobilize so many fellow villagers to help build fortifications in such a short period of time. This is their ability!
"Secretary Wang, you are really good." Xu Rui stepped forward and greeted Wang Husheng, "In such a short time, you were able to organize fellow villagers to help us build fortifications."
"Where." Wang Husheng did not dare to be greedy for credit. He shook his head and said, "Captain Xu, this is not my credit. The villagers are here just for your face."
These hundreds of villagers are really here for Xu Rui.
Because Xu Rui saved the seventeen innocent people who were about to be immersed in the pig cage, and also arrested the three bullies Liu Heiqi, Hong Jiugong and Randeng Taoist, the people in the town all clapped and applauded.
When they heard that the Independent Brigade was going to fight the Japanese at Shaqiao Gang, they all expressed their willingness to help fight the Japanese.
As soon as Wang Husheng saw that the people's support was available, he immediately mobilized them to help repair the fortifications.
It's easy to do things when there are many people. In less than two hours, the two main trenches at the front and back have been basically dug, and the depth of the trenches exceeds 1.2 meters. In addition, the height of the base soil is at least 1.5 meters, and partially 1 meter.
Seventh, a person can raise a gun and shoot while standing, instead of kneeling, which can greatly save physical strength.
After the main trenches were repaired, foxholes and communication trenches were immediately followed. However, before the communication trenches were repaired, billowing smoke and dust began to rise on the road ahead, indicating that the Japanese had arrived!
Seeing this scene, Xu Rui immediately threw down the hoe in his hand and asked Wang Husheng to organize the evacuation of the fellow villagers. Then he also led more than 20 students from the youth training team to the defensive position of the second squadron. Xu Rui faced Leng Tie.
He still trusted Leng Tiefeng, so he would never interfere with Leng Tiefeng's command.
But the hundreds of fellow villagers refused to leave and insisted on staying to help.
Many of the young and middle-aged men came with hatchets or firecrackers. They showed off their weapons and asked to enter the position to help the independent brigade fight against the Japanese. Of course Xu Rui would not agree, but he could not bear to refuse their kindness, so he
They were promised to stay on the No. 2 Squadron's position and continue building fortifications.
(Dividing line)
"Stop!" Kameda Ichiro suddenly raised his right hand, and the motorcycle driver sitting next to him quickly tightened the brakes, and the three-wheeler that was slowly moving forward came to a halt with a crunch.
The other five tricycles and two trucks following behind also stopped.
Behind them, about three squadrons of Japanese infantry were following up amid the smoke and dust, but they were still some distance away.
Due to the shortage of transportation tools, the Japanese army gave priority to trucks, motorcycles and even animal-drawn carts to support front-line combat troops. Therefore, the transportation options left for the troops stationed in the occupied areas were extremely limited. The Pu County Gendarmerie only had two trucks and six sidecars.
, so only the artillery squad was eligible to ride, and the rest of the Japanese had to run to follow.
Ichiro Kameda stood up from the sidecar and raised his telescope. After zooming in through the telescope, he could clearly see that the road a thousand meters ahead had been cut off and the squadron had spread out horizontally along a small river that crossed the road.
, and a complete fortification has been built.
"Baga Yalu, how could this happen?"
Seeing this scene, Kameda Ichiro could only curse.
Ichiro Kameda originally thought that even if those who attacked Meizhen were really regular troops of the Nationalist Government, the reinforcement of Meizhen would be an extremely easy battle, because after the Nanjing Defense Battle, the most elite dozen divisions had basically
They were all wiped out, including the Eighty-seventh Division, the Eighty-eighth Division, the Thirty-sixth Division, known as the Harin Army, and the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps.
After destroying a dozen of the most elite main divisions, no matter how many troops were left, they were nothing more than a ragtag group of troops.
However, the scene he saw in front of him changed Kameda Ichiro's view. Let's not talk about the combat effectiveness. Just judging from the defenses built by the opponent, this is an army with a rigorous style, especially if the opponent can do it in such a short period of time.
It is not easy to build such a complete fortification in such a short period of time.
However, even so, Kameda Ichiro is still confident of winning.
First of all, he brought three entire brigades this time, and the squadron on the opposite side is only more than a hundred people at most. Even if there are hidden squadrons in front, the number will not be much more. A basic judgment, since this
A squadron can carry weapons and baggage over Damei Mountain, but how big an organization can it have?
Kameda Ichiro immediately ordered: "Order, the artillery team is deployed on the spot."
With an order, the Japanese artillerymen sitting on two trucks got out of the car one after another, then unloaded six 82-caliber mortars from the trucks and lined them up on the side of the road.
The Japanese artillery squad is generally equipped with 2 92 infantry guns or 4 mortars.
For this sortie, Kameda Ichiro specially strengthened the firepower of the artillery team and increased the number of mortars by two.
Since there is no hot air balloon to observe, the artillery observers can only use the most primitive thumb ranging method to measure the distance, and then guide the artillery to test fire. After correcting the ballistics according to the impact point of the test fire, the artillery team immediately started ten rapid rounds.
Shoot! In an instant, rows of artillery shells were slamming into the front positions with a squeaking scream.
Taking advantage of the brief interval when the artillery was preparing for artillery fire, about a small group of Japanese infantry had quietly moved up. By the time the artillery bombardment ended, this small group of Japanese infantry was less than a hundred meters away from the position of the first squadron.
The synergy between infantry and artillery is really great, and you don't have to worry about blowing up your own people at such a close range.
As soon as the bombardment stopped, more than fifty Japanese soldiers immediately sped up and swooped over with bayonets in hand.
Leng Tiefeng was the first to stand up from the trench. Although the thick smoke made it difficult for him to keep his eyes open, he still noticed that the Japanese were approaching. He immediately raised his gun and pulled the trigger, killing him with just one shot.
The Japs sergeant in front then pulled the bolt to retreat and shouted: "The Japs are coming, brothers, fight me!"
Upon hearing Leng Tiefeng's order, the veterans who were hiding from the shelling in the trenches straightened up, braved the acrid smoke, and aimed at the Japanese charging forward and opened fire violently.
Guarding the first line of defense was a small team from the 1st Squadron.
The more than fifty officers and soldiers in the small team were all veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles, and their marksmanship was good. So in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of the Japanese charging forward fell, and at least half of them were killed. The rest
More than forty Japanese soldiers quickly fell down and started shooting at each other with a small group of veterans.
If you think that the devils only have this ability, you are wrong.
The infantry attack was blocked, and the fire support team immediately followed up. Five hundred meters away, the Japs' heavy machine gun squadron began to fire violently, and the hot bullets were splashed on the small team's position like water.
When they came over, a small group of two imitation Czech light machine guns were immediately suppressed.
This was not over yet, and two Japanese grenade groups arrived shortly afterwards.
Just two bangs were heard, and two 50-caliber high-explosive grenades followed with a squeaking scream. After flying five hundred meters, they accurately hit the main trench of a small team and exploded with a bang.
