Hearing this news, the head of the 14th regiment narrowed his eyes, looked at the devils who were swarming towards the front line, and waved his hand to hit the ground fiercely: "His grandma, the commander's order doesn't come early or late, but why Come at this time, isn't this a delay!"
The chief of staff of the regiment who was following him was not willing to throw away the fat in his mouth, so he urged: "Commander, the food is already on the table, so we can't move our chopsticks. Otherwise, let me go to the front line." Take the first battalion and the third battalion to fight in the position, and I guarantee that within half an hour, this wave of attacking devils will be completely wiped out. "
The commander's eyes lit up, but he, who had followed Monk Xu for many years, shook his head immediately: "You don't know what kind of temper the commander has. If he delays his affairs, let alone demote, he will shoot us both. Do everything, don't say anything, order the artillery to block the enemy's attack route with artillery fire, the second battalion covers the first battalion, and the whole regiment retreats south."
Seeing that the chief of staff still looked unwilling, the head patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, since the commander has made preparations, then these little devils won't last long. Just let them jump for a while! "
The chief of staff nodded after hearing the words, and ordered the correspondents to send orders to the battalions.
Unaware that the 14th regiment was about to retreat, the Japanese troops continued to attack. The Japanese troops of the two conglomerated brigades, under the cover of their own artillery fire and the firepower on the city wall, lined up a loose line of skirmishers and rushed towards the position of the Eighth Route Army like a tide. .
? This is another classic tactic of the Japanese army besides the pig attack. During the Russo-Japanese War, the majestic wave charge of the Russian soldiers left a deep impact on the Japanese army. Therefore, the Japanese, who always like to steal teachers, made a slight change. Take this tactic as your own.
On the Chinese battlefield, Japanese troops used these two tactics flexibly. When encountering local troops and the Eighth Route Army with simple weapons and few firepower, they will use pig sudden tactics to concentrate superior forces and instantly highlight the enemy's defensive positions with overwhelming momentum. When encountering a large number of machine guns, mortars, and even equipped with large-caliber mountain guns and field guns, the Central Army uses this tide tactics.
Although later on the Pacific battlefield, the U.S. military proved that all tactics are nonsense, and only firepower is king, but in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army still relied on these two tactics when facing the Chinese army with few cannons. Gallop across the Chinese battlefield.
Tide tactics are very simple but very effective. When attacking, the Japanese troops will form several loose skirmish lines. The Japanese soldiers on each skirmish line will keep a distance of more than ten meters. There will also be gaps between the front and rear skirmish lines. The distance of eight to ten meters can disperse the enemy's firepower and reduce casualties. Once the front skirmish line is disrupted by enemy firepower, the remaining Japanese soldiers will immediately join the follow-up skirmish line and continue to maintain Attack on local positions.
?No single army can stop this kind of attack that goes round and round like waves.
But this time the situation was different. When the Japanese soldiers were 300 meters away from the Eighth Route Army¡¯s position, they were attacked by heavy artillery fire. 60mm and 82mm mortar shells fell like hailstones. As soon as the line was hit, it was covered by dense shells. Although the distance between the Japanese soldiers was large, they couldn't hold up the shells. Blood and minced meat rose together with the fireball, and the defense with a length of more than 300 meters and a depth of more than 50 meters was blown into a sea of ??flames.
"Baga!" Looking at the wall of flames outside the city, Colonel Mei Chuan Kangren stood on the wall and opened his mouth to curse: "How can the damn Eighth Route Army have so many mortars? Immediately suppress the enemy's artillery fire and cover the advance of the troops."
A major officer standing beside him said: "Your Excellency, the enemy's mortars are too far away and their positions are scattered. Our grenadiers and mortars can't blow them up at all. Only those two 92-type Infantry artillery can't suppress the enemy's artillery fire at all. "
"Impossible, how could those Tuba Roads have mortars that are more advanced than ours!" Colonel Mei Chuan Kangren yelled in disbelief, and he quickly picked up the binoculars to check. The rainy shells were all fired from behind the woods two kilometers away, which far exceeded the range of the Japanese mortars and grenades.
Colonel Mei Chuan Yasuhito reluctantly changed the order: "Even if the Eighth Route Army has a lot of mortars, it is impossible to have many shells. Order the troops to withdraw from the bombing area of ??the enemy's artillery fire. Once their artillery fire stops, let the troops attack immediately. We must lay down that position this time.¡±
It really made Colonel Mei Chuan Yasuhito guess right. The artillery bombardment of the 14th Regiment ended in less than ten minutes. However, during the shelling just now, the Eighth Route Army also fired a lot of smoke bombs.?The performance of these smoke bombs is very good, and the smoke emitted is thick and long-lasting. Soon, a 5 or 6-meter-high smoke wall will be formed in the position and the Japanese army. See the situation on the Eighth Route Army's positions again.
This wall of smoke made Colonel Mei Chuan Kangren's heart pound. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of the Eighth Route Army, and he was worried that he would fall into the tricks of the Eighth Route Army. Almost attacking, before the smoke cleared, he issued an attack order to the troops.
After hearing the order, the two Japanese brigades who had been waiting for a long time got into the smoke and attacked the Eighth Route Army's position again.
As expected by Colonel Mei Chuan Yasuhito, the Japanese troops who entered the smoke were not bombarded by artillery shells again, but what surprised them was that the Eighth Route Army on the ground did not shoot either, as if the previous ferocious firepower had suddenly disappeared.
Such a situation made the Japanese soldiers rushing forward very disturbed. They worried that this was some kind of trick by those cunning Eighth Route Army. But now that the charge has been launched, they can't retreat, so they can only rush forward with apprehension.
When the Japanese soldiers bravely rushed to the position, they found that the position was empty, and the Eighth Route Army had long since disappeared.
"Damn it, those cunning Eighth Route Army must have retreated under the cover of shelling and smoke. We fell for it." Colonel Meichuan Yasuhito, who received the report from the front line, said angrily, "Ordering the troops to pursue, those Eighth Route Army haven't run far, We must catch up with them and wipe them out completely. "
"Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army retreated too suddenly. I am worried that if I pursue them rashly, I may fall into their tricks." A young-looking lieutenant staff officer faithfully performed his duties and remonstrated worriedly. road.
Facing this staff officer who had just graduated from the military academy, Colonel Mei Chuan Yasuhito taught in the tone of a senior: "Mr. Otsuka, you didn't know much about the Eighth Route Army when you first came to China. They are just a group of farmers who have not received formal military training. Farmers are farmers, even if they have excellent weapons, they still cannot compete with our elite warriors of the Great Japanese Empire. Besides, we have twice the number of them, and all tricks are nothing to fear in the face of absolute strength."
As soon as the words were finished, there was a violent explosion in the distance. As soon as the Japanese soldiers boarded the position, they touched the directional mine in the position. This was a gift left by the soldiers of the 14th regiment to the Japanese army. He went out and sifted out all the Japanese soldiers who had just occupied the position and had not had time to cheer.
Seeing the blood mist rising in the distance, Colonel Mei Chuan Kangren, who was slapped in the face, was furious. He immediately changed the combat order just now: "Order the garrison to continue to defend the county, and all the troops of the temporary formation will immediately attack the The Eighth Route Army launched a pursuit, and I will personally command the warriors to chop off all the heads of those damned Chinese." After speaking, he walked down the city.
Staff Officer Kotsuka hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, it is too risky for you to do this. The situation is unknown now. If you rush to pursue it, you may suffer unnecessary losses. It is better to wait for the follow-up troops and the chariot troops of the 33rd Division." After reaching it, let¡¯s pursue it.¡±
Colonel Meichuan Yasuhito looked at the staff officer who graduated from the Imperial University of the Japanese Army with the first place, and said in a stern tone: "Mr. Can the war be won or lost? Do you know that just based on what you just said, I can send you to a court-martial for cowardice. "
A horrified expression immediately appeared on Staff Officer Kotsuka's face. For him who entered the army as an honor student in the military academy and had a bright future, the crime of cowardice was enough to ruin everything for him.
? Seeing the expression on his face, Colonel Umekawa Yasuhito, who has always been kind to his subordinates, suddenly felt pity for his talents. He paused and said, "Mr. Kotsuka, you stay here and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive. If something happens, Captain Kameda is in full charge."
"Hi!" Staff Officer Otsuka quickly bowed. He knew that Colonel Mei Chuan Yasuhito said so, but he let himself go.
Ten minutes later, a pursuit force consisting of two infantry brigades and an artillery squad, led by Colonel Mei Chuan Yasuhito, pursued in the direction in which the 14th regiment retreated. ,
Colonel Mei Chuan Yasuhito was right. The Eighth Route Army was indeed an army composed of peasants, but he forgot that war is the best teacher. After several years of bloody battles, those peasants who survived have all been baptized by war. , into a capable warrior.
In fact, it was not only the Eighth Route Army. In the Chinese army at that time, most of the soldiers were farmers who had just put down their hoes, and students who had abandoned their studies to join the army. The falling motherland kept it from falling into the abyss. Such a person may be inconspicuous, but it must not be ignored.
