The atmosphere at the regiment headquarters at the new regiment headquarters was very depressing. The three battalion commanders stood in front of Wang Ping, all with their heads lowered and silent.
Not only that, everyone's face was red, and Wang Ping scolded them so much that they wanted to find a hole in the ground and burrow down.
Wang Ping had been scolding them for almost ten minutes, but he still couldn't get over his anger.
Thinking of the more than a hundred recruits lost during the day, Wang Ping, who had suppressed his anger, couldn't help but continue to curse: "I asked you to train troops, not to fight against the Japanese..."
"Are ordinary Japanese soldiers so powerful in combat? With the same strength, some have fewer troops than you. They can kill half of your men in a single fight. What do you do with your brains? Why don't you think more about it...
..”
"Especially you, Xiong Changhe, you want to rush forward as soon as you see the Japs, without even looking at the enemy's identity. From now on, if you are so impulsive again, stop being the commander of the first battalion and come to the regiment headquarters to help
I am a security guard..."
At the critical moment, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong stepped forward to rescue the enemy.
"Captain, the Japanese special forces suddenly appeared. It must be a premeditated retaliatory action by the Japanese. They brought us such great losses as soon as they took action. I'm worried that these elite Japanese soldiers will not be satisfied with the results of the day. Those who follow us will
Go straight into the woods."
Although Xiong Changhe lowered his head, he was still holding back his anger. After hearing the chief of staff's analysis, his temper suddenly rose and he shouted loudly.
"If he dares to come in, I will lead people to kill them and avenge the sacrificed soldiers. Linzi belongs to our Eighth Route Army. If he comes in, he will die..."
"Shut up..." Wang Ping glared at Xiong Changhe and cursed.
"How many times have I told you, don't be impulsive when things happen, don't be impulsive..."
"Also, do you know your opponent? Don't you think that the Japanese special forces are no match for your Xiong Changhe in the woods? Okay, I'll let you out now and lead a company to fight them. Let's see what happens then.
The Japanese special forces will annihilate you, Xiong Changhe, or you, Xiong Changhe, will annihilate all the Japanese..."
Seeing that Xiong Changhe was silent, Wang Ping turned to Zhong Chenggong and affirmed with a stern face: "Chief of Staff, I can say with certainty that your worries will definitely come true."
"The real special forces of the Japanese were almost dead before Matsumoto became the brigade commander. The current special forces must have just been formed and have not yet formed combat effectiveness. They plan to use our new regiment to train troops. If we encounter Japanese today
The special forces that have already formed combat capabilities, the three companies that went out to train with the Japs, and I’m so thankful to have three platoons back..."
"Are the Japanese special forces really so powerful?" Xiong Changhe, who had never had any real contact with them, was frightened and asked with a look of disbelief.
"It's more powerful than you think..." Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong interrupted and affirmed.
"Do you still remember the old regiment leader? He was killed when he was attacked by the Japanese special forces. Also sacrificed were the political commissar and the chief of staff..."
"Including the guard troops, directly affiliated troops, one battalion and one company, the regiment headquarters with a total strength of more than 400 people was attacked by more than 20 Japanese special forces. In less than half an hour, the regiment headquarters suffered a devastating blow
, less than 40 of the more than 400 people survived, and all the rest were sacrificed. This is the combat effectiveness of the Japanese special forces. Do you still think that the Japanese special forces are not our opponents in the woods?"
Xiong Changhe finally closed his mouth and his face became heavy. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Bang bang bang...ta da da..." Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang outside the station. Although it was one or two kilometers away, it still clearly reached their ears.
Wang Ping's already frowning frown deepened now.
He quickly made a judgment: "It must be the Japanese special forces..."
"After you were attacked, I sent out the direct team and the reconnaissance platoon and dispersed them around our station to keep a lookout."
"Now it seems that they must be the special forces who discovered the Japanese entering the mountains, and got into a fight with them."
The losses suffered during the day, coupled with the fact that Wang Ping and Zhong Chenggong just talked about the Japanese special forces being so magical. As soon as they finished speaking, the three battalion commanders showed worried expressions on their faces.
Wang Ping changed the subject and immediately said: "However, you don't need to worry too much..."
"Now that we know our opponents, and we also know that they are a group of special forces who have not completed their training, this battle will be much easier to fight."
"The combat effectiveness of special forces is very strong, and they are very good at sneak attacks, lurking, assassinations, raids and other small-scale battles, but this means that they are not good at fighting positional warfare."
"One of the very important reasons is that in order to achieve a quick victory on the battlefield, special forces are basically not equipped with heavy weapons because of the special nature of their tasks."
"Without heavy weapons, they can only fight in close combat. If the distance is too far, they can only be beaten passively under the suppression of light and heavy machine gun fire."
"This is also the most common method I used in the headquarters special operations squadron to deal with Japanese special forces."
"Now that we are in the woods, it is difficult to distance ourselves from them. However, we can concentrate our troops and firepower and engage in positional warfare with them. Use light and heavy machine guns to shoot at the rifles and submachine guns they are equipped with."
"If one light and heavy machine gun is not enough, use two, or even more. No matter how elite the Japanese special forces are, they are still made of flesh and blood. One bullet will still kill them."
Having said this, Wang Ping began to issue orders.
"Chief of Staff, immediately withdraw all patrols and outposts around the station."
"Stay all secret sentries and continue to lurk. Once the Japanese special forces appear, fire warning shots immediately and then retreat."
After finishing, Wang Ping spread out a piece of paper and drew a simple sketch of the station. Then he analyzed it.
"Our station is not big. It is three hundred meters wide from east to west and two hundred meters wide from north to south. It is a long strip, and the weeds around the station have been cleared. As long as the Japanese special forces appear, they will be discovered by us immediately. So,
I will arrange eight firepower points around the station, each firepower point forming a semi-circular position, garrisoning an infantry platoon, and each platoon will be reinforced with one heavy machine gun and two light machine guns."
"An additional light machine gun will be added to the firepower points at the four corners."
"No matter where Japanese special forces appear, we will use machine guns to fight back and kill them with firepower, but no one is allowed to take the initiative to attack."
"If the Japanese don't attack, what if they hide in the surrounding woods and shoot at us?" Zhong Chenggong asked with a frown.
Wang Ping shook his head and answered confidently: "No, they can either attack as soon as possible, or they can only retreat..."
"Why?" Zhong Chenggong asked subconsciously.
"Don't forget, the Japs have special forces, and we do. Although the number is a little smaller, we have an advantage that the Japs don't have. We are familiar with the terrain. The direct team and the reconnaissance platoon have already understood the terrain around the station clearly.
You can tell where it is just by looking at it. In addition, the Japs are in the light and we are in the dark. With them hunting the Japs from behind, I don't believe that the Japs can stay there."
After saying this, Wang Ping showed a very arrogant expression on his face and continued.
"The little devils want to use our new regiment to train their special forces, so we will use their special forces that have not yet formed an army to train our direct troops."
