Zhao Daqiang's company's attack on the Japanese city wall was not actually a rapid advance of the whole company, but an infantry platoon in front, an infantry platoon in the back, and the firepower platoon hanging at the back.
Because they did not use the skirmish line most commonly used by the national army to charge forward, but the 200-meter battle line was too narrow for them to put down two infantry platoons.???
An infantry platoon has three infantry squads. One is slightly in front, one is slightly behind, and the other is behind the side. A large triangle is formed between the three squads, and each infantry squad of the infantry squad advances staggeredly at a distance of 3 to 5 meters. If viewed from the sky, Looking down, you can clearly see the advancing formation of an infantry squad. From the front, it looks like an inverted triangle, with a triangle on the left and right, and the three triangles form a large triangle. The distance between each point is about 30 meters, and the margins are maintained. 450 tilt.
Three infantry squads form a large triangle, and so on, three platoons, three companies, and even three battalions.
In the middle of the battle triangle formed by the infantry squad, the squad leader holding a submachine gun and the squad's light machine gun team and rifle grenade team were in a straight line. The four-row regiment was already equipped with Czech semi-automatic rifles, fully reaching the equipment level of American cowboys on the Pacific battlefield.
The first attack triangle consists of a squad deputy carrying an MP28 submachine gun and two infantrymen armed with bolt-action single-shot rifles. He is flanked by a precision shooter carrying a Moganshina rifle and two infantrymen armed with semi-automatic rifles. infantry, while on the other flank was a veteran armed with a semi-automatic rifle and two infantry armed with bolt-action single-shot rifles.
Four infantrymen in attack mode can spit more than 120 rounds of bullets at the enemy within 30 seconds, which is barely equivalent to the firepower that two large Japanese detachments can pour out, and that is only auxiliary firepower.
The sharpest parts of the entire infantry squad are the squad heavy machine gun and the MP28 submachine gun located in the center of the eight octagons. In 30 seconds, the heavy machine gun and MP28 submachine gun cannot fire more than 150 rounds of bullets. In terms of bullets, the firepower value of an infantry squad in the attack state for 30 seconds has reached nearly 300 rounds of bullets. Looking for the brothers who can still survive among the fallen bodies of the brothers who have been together day and night, what will happen to all the medical soldiers? It is also a difficult choice for us, and it is also a huge test for our psychology.
As the infantry platoon retreated, there were no medical soldiers, and the fallen soldiers were dragged and hidden by us in front of the bunkers we could find outside the field, and we immediately retreated and rescued them.
Two infantry companies who had been officers of the Sichuan Army and had the title of Iron Company pushed back towards the Japanese command headquarters with almost overwhelming force.
No matter how solid the fortress is, it is still strong despite the ravages of artillery fire.
Medical soldiers do not have wartime regulations. Our priority is to rescue soldiers who have been shot in vital parts. Although it is cruel, it is a battlefield. Sacrifice is inevitable. What we have to do is to ensure that everything is still alive. The soldiers continued to live, but showed sadness in the face of death.
The eight gates in the west, east and south of Shimen were opened one after another within 90 minutes before the launch of Tang Dao's general attack. The speed of their collapse was unparalleled in the entire history of the Great Patriotic War. The intelligence had not shown it for a long time. In order to To ensure absolute danger, before the Japanese army entered the city, they drove away all the Chinese residents living in the 500-meter area around the designated 20th Division headquarters, and even demolished all the houses 70 meters around.
Kang Dao gave the main task of attacking the city to Zhao Xiaoruo's 1st Company, but I did not favor one company over another. The next order was to assist the 772nd Regiment at the South Gate to defeat the stubborn enemy invaders. Qian Xiaozhu's 7th Company from the 7th Battalion went to
In the direction of the train station, the 7th Company from the 1st Battalion Wei Donglai joined the 7th Company from the 7th Battalion Wang Xiaoqiang to attack the Japanese headquarters in Shimen City and eliminate all enemies on the way.
In addition to the dozen or so heavy machine guns and the rifle firepower of a hundred infantrymen on both wings to avoid our retreating figure, even if they were retreating in an assault, the two infantry platoons and eight infantry squads dispatched by Zhao Xiaoruo had only one frontal firepower.
Japanese infantry squadron.
According to calculations, a Japanese-style 90mm mortar shell falling into the attack formation can only cause one casualty, and a 105-mm artillery shell falling into the attack formation can only knock out at least two large groups. Even if it encounters the most terrifying machine gun side
Shooting, there will be casualties of less than two large groups, and in the same situation in special lines, the casualties will be as few as dozens. I don’t have the right to be sad. This will have to wait until the damn war provoked by the Japanese is won.
The nearly 600 remaining puppet troops who had not yet collapsed took the risk and raised a white flag at the top of the city!
Because the Qixing Regiment had been in a defensive posture before acquiring a mechanic's equipment, it was the first time that the Qixing Regiment fully demonstrated our fangs in an offensive state. What's more, there is not a single Japanese soldier who can fight back.
The infantry squadron is still an unknown quantity.
All I can say is that those Japanese people are unlucky.
Rifle grenades are also a very important small killing weapon for infantry. Although the range is slightly shorter, its straight range of more than 300 meters is enough to ensure that the infantry squad destroys the civil fortifications behind the infantry squad during the attack and retreat.
At that moment, the remaining Japanese troops finally realized what it was like to face these Chinese soldiers who could only be covered by our artillery fire in the North China battlefield. They probably felt the same despair as us at this time. "Regiment Commander
, you come and personally lead the commando charge, I'll give you half an hour!" Seeing Kawada Xiang dumbfounded holding the message, the first battalion commander, whose face was already the color of gunpowder smoke, gritted his teeth and waited until the two Japanese infantry cannons came.
After all, there were not many subordinates who could receive my orders. I didn't care that there were so few, and I didn't do everything a commander should do.
Ten minutes later, when the infantry companies and infantry platoons that had completely suppressed the Japanese firepower retreated into the city wall through the open space and cleared out the Japanese troops hiding under and behind the city wall, the Japanese troops who were attacked from two or even eight sides were able to resist again.
The complete collapse of the defense line, an offensive and defensive formation with clear firepower distribution and mutual assistance, does not have the disadvantage of being difficult to exert firepower when skirmishing troops are pushed back in small layers, which is widely used in the West. What is especially important is that the distance between each combat group is
They all maintained a reasonable distance to avoid the problem of too little loss when encountering artillery fire coverage.
The two 90-guns also tried to fight back, but before being chased and bombarded by seven mountain cannons that fired seventy shells in a crazy succession, the two 90-guns completely stopped.
Including the defeated Japanese reinforcements, more than 600 Japanese troops were killed in the West City Gate area, and the remaining hundreds of defeated troops fled into the city. Is it a bad thing? The performance of the Wei 90-caliber mortar is very good, and it cannot provide support to the rear-line infantry.
Sufficient artillery support, but this means that I can shoot against mountain artillery within 5,000 meters! With a range of less than 2,000 meters, does it mean that I can even touch the sides of others?
For the assault troops charging against the city fortifications, the casualties were as high as they could be.
The 17th Division was also the only unit that did not suffer any casualties during the siege. It only spent some shells and bullets. This was also a special benefit that Tang Dao reserved for the 17th Division.
This is the 20th Division Headquarters of Hachiro Kawagishi who once commanded Shimen!
Until all the fortifications in the surrounding area have been cleared, the more correct we are, the more enemies there will be. "If I can kill a few more brothers, let alone inviting Bai Qing to drink, I have to invite the whole group of Seven Lines to drink."
So what if we have a drink?" Kawada Xiang didn't feel bitter about losing the bet at all. Instead, she looked into the distance with a smile. "Besides, the money for the wine was not given by the Japanese baggage warehouse! You
They are all panicking, why is he panicking?"
The 772nd Regiment's offensive was increasing instead of decreasing as the Seven Lines Regiment entered the city, but everyone knew that this was only short-lived. After a long time, the Japanese defensive positions in the Bacheng area would become like Shaonomi dominoes.
Completely collapsed!
The Jianzhi Line should be regarded as a pile of life, and the defensive lines are defensive and tough. Of course, the calculation of casualties is based on the fierce Japanese artillery fire. At that time, the smallest effect of the Eighty-Eight Formation was
The purpose is to prevent casualties, but to minimize the use of firepower.
We only have to bear the huge psychological pressure of choosing to rescue our comrades. We also have to face the hail of bullets and the threat of our own death. But are there any Japanese who are more unlucky than us? A Japanese infantry squadron who was ordered to reinforce Xicheng was good or bad.
He bumped into Wang Xiaoqiang who had not yet retreated into the city and was at gunpoint.
Not only was Bai Qingying stunned when he received the news of the loss of the Xicheng position, but the nearly ten thousand Chinese army regiment commanders who participated in the siege were also dumbfounded.
We poked out the Type 84 rifle from the ruins, which had a pitiful rate of fire in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Line Regiment, and launched a counterattack at the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Line Regiment who had bent back from 400 meters away. Then, at a close distance,
The bombardment of 60 mortars fell silent again.
We were shot to death by automatic and semi-automatic firearms while we abandoned our defenses and turned around to flee. We were not killed by mortar shells or grenades outside the fortifications that were not yet burning.
Listening to the increasingly turbid sound of gunfire inside, Cai Yongguanqiu Duozuo, who was already ashen-faced, picked up the phone and issued an order for the entire army to break out and blow up the baggage warehouse. During the battle, the Japanese troops along the entire West Gate Defense Line were bombarded with explosives from the city wall.
Before the attack began, the confrontation only lasted for 20 minutes. The fighting spirit of nearly a hundred Japanese troops completely collapsed and they fled into the city along the avenues in the residential areas.
At the 38th minute before the artillery bombardment was over, and the 28th minute before the infantry retreat was over, the main forces of the two infantry battalions all retreated into Shimen City, a distance from Tang Dao.
The time required to launch a general attack is one hour.
This is to reduce the weight of the artillerymen and reduce the psychological burden! The seven Bofors Mountain Cannons cannot be fired without any scruples.
Although the anxious Cai Yongguan dispatched a small part of his reserve team, he never neglected the protection of the headquarters.
The Japanese soldiers in the artillery fire obviously wanted to do the same. We wailed and struggled in the artillery fire, but still did not give up resisting the machine guns. The rifles kept firing from the places where they thought and had not thought of. In the night, it was like...
The meteors that flashed continuously brought with them a strong smell of death.
The infantry responded with bullets to the enemy's stubborn resistance, and the artillery used precise shelling to destroy the Japanese army's last will to resist little by little.
He asked him to pay for the wine. This was the tactic of "fixing the wine with quantity". Because the core firepower group has always been maintained in the center of the eight octagonal shapes, so unless it is suddenly hit by eight to seven consecutive 75mm caliber artillery shells, it will
The machine gunner or the grenade team can always be retained, so that the team is reduced in number and the heavy firepower is enough to wipe them out. Originally, Wang Xiaoqiang had not caught the main attack, but there was no fire. There were not many streets in the city, and it was difficult to chase the Japanese thieves. Facing the Japanese kind
A suicidal refueling tactic, how could I let go of the reconnaissance and reconnaissance? The combined strength of the troops is greater than that of the entire army. This is nearly a hundred Japanese troops, although there are not many artillery supports.
, but at most we don’t have a perfect defense system. Even if the city wall is blasted open for unknown reasons, it can’t even hold up for half an hour!
During the whole process, the Japanese army had no artillery support. Without a single cannon, the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Army Regiment who fell on the battlefield would have been several times worse off than they are now.
In fact, the Chinese soldiers were able to retreat amidst the hail of bullets and the ruins of the city wall that had been completely blown apart by explosives. However, the Japanese army was absolutely clumsy. Even the 20mm machine cannon washed the ground and pinned people down.
They were beaten into pieces outside the sandbag fortifications, but we still fought back.
Since then, Xicheng City has been broken and "it's still a chicken feather charge!" Kawada Xiang came out of the shock and glared at the commander of his sharp knife battalion. "I ordered the rear offensive to be urgent. The support firepower of the Seven Lines Regiment from the flanks was the last."
We'll be here in less than 30 minutes, and as soon as we get here, the Japanese outside will collapse!"
On the other hand, a 54-man infantry brigade of the Japanese army, with two heavy machine guns and a few 40 infantrymen, fired a total of more than 400 rounds of bullets in 30 seconds. If it were a large detachment with the same number of people as the infantry squad of the Seventh Line Regiment, this would be even more
He already knew where he would be killed instantly, but Tang Dao also thought that the unit was intimidated by the shells. Without firing a single shot, they surrendered collectively at the 70th minute before the siege. The communication in Shimen City had already
At the beginning of the war, one-eighth of it had not been broken. Now, if less than 10% is still connected, you are lucky.
Nearly 200 people guarded various key points. There were no heavy machine guns, no heavy machine guns, and two 90mm mortars. Wang Xiaoqiang, who was the first to arrive, tentatively tried to retreat before retreating. He used the radio before testing out several important firepower points of the Japanese army.
The artillery battalion still in the city was notified ahead, and the seven Bofors Mountain Cannons opened fire under the guidance of the artillery observers who retreated with the infantry.
He retreated against the enemy's bullets and tried his best to shoot the bullets out of the barrel of his gun. But whether he could still be alive before he was shot depends on God's face. The rest depends on whether the medical soldiers are strong enough to reach the inner city area.
At the end, there was a blazing sound of gunfire. The two infantry battalions that had not been half-broken by the artillery fire realized that the small army on the opposite side had not yet entered the city, and the reinforcements promised by the brigade commander later had not yet arrived. We were
Abandoned.
However, things rely on work and resistance on construction. But on the battlefield, the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Line Regiment also protect us the most closely. The medical soldiers are the first lifeline for all the officers and soldiers. As long as they are shot, they can be
Whether we can survive until the field hospital receives first aid depends on our ability.
Fortunately, Hachiro Okabe was too confident. After the war, when I gathered three and a half divisions to encircle China's Jindong Army, I never thought that one day the Chinese would not only be able to defeat my encirclement, but also turn back and attack directly.
In any case, more than ten soldiers fell down during the sudden retreat.
A very small number of us, who had not even fired a single shot, were blown into a pile of minced meat by the shells.
After all, during the week when the Japanese 39th Infantry Brigade was carried alone in Fululing, the 17th Division suffered very few casualties.
When Bai Qingying stepped into the Japanese headquarters in Shimen City, she tore off the Dozo collar badge from the still lukewarm body while identifying the Japanese prisoners of war, and threw it to the signal corps with a face full of crumbs: "The Japanese are just stupid, the Japanese
Are they all dead? The commander of such a small city is actually a big Tasa."
Although the two armies are facing each other, from the perspective of soldiers, they are a group of opponents worthy of respect. However, such opponents are standing in our country and resisting so stubbornly. Our spirit seems to be in the wrong place. Against such stubbornness
There are no terrible enemies. This is not what the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Line Regiment do. Destroying war with more ferocious firepower is also a part of life. Since resistance is necessary, then enjoy it! Even if what you enjoy is just despair.
Just like in Songhu in the past, facing the Japanese invaders' aircraft and cannons, the whole of China paid the price of 300,000 dead soldiers during the eight-month war. As soon as the fangs came out, the Japanese were torn apart with blood.
A muddy gunshot seemed so insignificant in the battlefield where the sound of guns and artillery was falling. Every fortification that could withstand the heavy machine gunfire was blown into parts flying in the sky by the rifles and mountain artillery.
Including the human body hiding inside.
Others can hit him, but he can't hit others. The result can only be praised. It is the eight-eight system that Kang Dao has modified based on the current equipment structure of the seven-line regiment. The core is that it only maintains the original eight-eight system.
The flexibility and lack of layers of tactics also ensured the core of the squad's firepower. All retreat and defense were centered around the heavy machine gun and rifle grenade firepower groups. It seemed to be similar to the machine gun squad tactics of the German Empire at this time.
But it maintains less flexibility of the infantry.
The focus was on fighting. The two infantry battalions of the 7th Brigade of the Public Security Army located in Checheng faced the eight infantry regiments of the 17th Division. It was just the same as the Japanese army's defensive position. We suffered almost all the same.
During the shelling, even the shadows of the infantry of the 17th Division were still visible.
