Chapter three hundred and twenty second housekeeping skills
A lieutenant general immediately asked: "Sir, you have an idea!"
"Yeah!" Colonel Kato didn't hide anything!
"The current situation is that the independent regiment directly used artillery to blast away our street fortifications and buried all the soldiers in the fortifications. If this is the case, then we will not give them the opportunity to use artillery to blast away our fortifications!"
"We blew up the street fighting fortifications and surrounding houses ourselves, and the troops hid among the ruins to fight against the independent regiment."
"There is no fixed position, and the troops are scattered. No matter how many artillery the independent regiment has, it will have no effect. They can only fight for every inch of land in the village by fighting for their lives!"
The lieutenant colonel's eyes lit up and he immediately replied: "Sir is wise, I will arrange someone to take care of my humble position immediately!"
Under the cover of mountain and field artillery, the three-pronged offensive force of the Independent Regiment continued to attack the middle of the village with overwhelming force.
The Japs in the village, centered around the headquarters, began blowing up the fortifications they had worked so hard to build without any heartache at all.
Soon, violent explosions resounded throughout the village. The independent regiment destroyed each house from the outside to the inside, while the Japanese destroyed them from the inside to the outside.
After the independent regiment used artillery to blow up the houses in front of them into rubble instantly, what the independent regiment saw was ruins everywhere.
"Where are the houses? Where did the houses where the Japanese wanted to fight us in street battles went?" the platoon leader of the second company said to himself with a frown.
"The house seems to have been blown up by the Japanese. That was the explosion just now!" a squad leader reminded in a low voice.
"What about the Japs? Where are the Japs hiding in the houses? I don't care about the houses, only the Japs. If I don't know where the Japs are hiding, we won't be able to fight the next battle!" the platoon leader asked with wide eyes.
The three squad leaders all had expressions of ignorance, and then shook their heads.
At this moment, company commander Qin Yu rushed over. After getting familiar with the situation, he decided directly: "It is impossible for the little devil to show up on his own initiative. You will only know if you fight him."
"Let the artillery fire a few shots at the ruins in front of us, and then we will attack. Once we attack, we will know exactly where the Japanese are!"
After a total of fifteen shells hit, more than a dozen plumes of black smoke rose directly from the ruins. As for the Japanese, they did not appear in the explosion.
Qin Yu gritted his teeth and ordered: "One platoon rushes up to take a look, and the others cover it. If you find something is wrong, withdraw immediately!"
About twenty soldiers, holding machine guns and carrying rifles, formed a skirmish line and slowly pressed forward.
At first, there was no movement at all in the ruins in front of them, as if all the Japanese soldiers had withdrawn. But not long after, a gunshot broke the atmosphere of the battlefield, instantly lifting the tense hearts of a row of people.
"Where to shoot, fight back!" Seeing his subordinates who fell down not far away, the platoon leader shouted loudly.
"Click, click, click..." The machine gun and several rifles immediately fired back, shooting a string of bullets into the place where the gunshot had been fired.
Just when everyone thought that the Japanese were beaten to death and there was no danger anymore.
"Papa!" Two gunshots suddenly rang out in the night, and then two soldiers were killed.
"Counterattack quickly and kill them!" the platoon leader ordered with a frown.
Soon, a platoon fired a string of bullets into the ruins shrouded in darkness, and the place where the gunshots were fired was instantly quiet.
But this situation did not last long. Every time a row took a few steps forward, gunshots would be heard all around.
Soon, more than half of the platoon suffered casualties. And the Japanese lurking in the ruins kept firing as if they couldn't stop fighting!
"We can't charge any more. If we charge any more, everyone in the platoon will be dead. Retreat immediately!" The platoon leader gave the retreat order with a gloomy face.
At the enemy headquarters of the Independent Regiment, the situation quickly reached Wang Ping's ears.
"Captain, the Japs are so cunning. They hide in the ruins like dead men. When they find an opportunity, they bite our attacking troops so that we can't defend them. If we fight hard, the casualties of the troops will definitely be very high!" Zhang Qing complained with an angry expression.
.
"Then what you're saying is that the Japanese are too cunning, so in order to avoid casualties, we won't fight?" Wang Ping asked rhetorically, unable to tell whether he was angry or something else.
"It won't work without fighting~" Zhang Qing quickly replied.
"It took a lot of effort to drive the Japanese to a dead end. It would be a pity to let them go like this. I need artillery support, enough artillery support. I want to turn over the ruins where the Japanese are hiding with artillery fire, so that the Japanese who are pretending to be dead can really turn into a corpse."
Corpse!"
"Besides artillery support, is there any other way?" Wang Ping did not answer, but asked with a frown.
Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment, glanced at Wang Ping in confusion, and then shook his head and replied: "This is the highest offensive method to reduce casualties!"
Wang Ping continued to ask, "What if shelling doesn't work! The ruins are so big, and we don't have so many shells that we can't use them up. It's definitely impossible to cover them with artillery fire like the Japanese did. In this case, how are you going to attack?"
"This!" Zhang Qing looked hesitant and guilty, not knowing how to answer.
At this time, even a fool knew that Zhang Qing knew that Wang Ping was in a bad mood and was angry.
"You must have never thought about this problem, Zhang Qing, Battalion Commander Zhang, I think you have returned as battalion commander, and your commanding ability is not even as good as the original platoon commander!"
"The little devils are cunning, but you don't understand the tactics they are using now, don't you know? This is obviously a sparrow tactic in guerrilla warfare. Our Eighth Route Army is the ancestor of guerrilla warfare. Without machine guns and cannons, even our own
I have forgotten all my special skills!”
"I told you that those who can use cannons on the battlefield will never use guns, but I don't want you to forget your special skills. Just like now, if the cannons are ineffective, then we can only use ours.
A skill from my hometown!”
"The Japs are using guerrilla warfare to deal with us, can't we use guerrilla warfare to fight back?"
Zhang Qing was woken up by the scolding and quickly reacted.
"Captain, I understand. I will organize the troops to continue the attack and kill the Japanese who stand in front of us!"
"Wait a minute!" Wang Ping was very satisfied with Zhang Qing's reaction and followed the order.
"Your artillery platoon will be reorganized immediately. I will give you another artillery platoon from the mortar company directly under the regiment headquarters. Remember my words, if you can use artillery to solve the problem on the battlefield, you will not use guns. You must keep casualties to a minimum. However,
Don’t forget your special skills, they are the basis for victory at critical moments!”
Zhang Qing replied with a serious face: "Captain, please rest assured, I understand that we will start the attack in half an hour, try to end the battle in one hour, and kill the remaining Japanese in Huangtuling!"
