It turned out that with Yang Ning's follow-up shot, the only remaining amateur curve cannon gunner in the Inukai Army was sent to hell.
Since the artillery team once again became mute, without the strong support of artillery fire, the morale of the Japanese army trapped in the siege once again fell into a low ebb, although the Japanese squad and platoon leaders continued to cheer up these Japanese soldiers.
¡°Kill the ***¡± shouts came one after another, but the Japanese officers and soldiers who fell one after another made this one-sided situation more and more obvious.
"Ping-ping, pong-pong" gunshots and "boom-boom" explosions blended together. The ravine was filled with corpses of Japanese soldiers, lying in a mess on the ground, and their blood was covered with weeds in the ravine.
The unsatisfactory light machine guns of the Japanese army are always unable to form effective combat effectiveness. The reason is very simple. Due to the special care of snipers, almost no machine gunner has the opportunity to fire a hundred rounds of bullets in a row, often just after he has touched it. The machine gun will be destroyed.
Since Taoping equipped his sniper teams with sniper rifles with mounted scopes, these snipers distributed around the encirclement have become a nightmare for the officers and soldiers of the dog-raising troops.
Facing the ubiquitous crossfire from the front, rear, left, and right, the entire Inuyang Squadron was completely in danger. You know, when you aim at the enemy in front to shoot, the enemy behind you is shooting at your back, front and back. There is no place to hide even if you want to find a place to hide. What else can you do?
Apart from being beaten, what else can you do? The entire unit is exposed to the enemy's crossfire, and An has room to fight back.
"Besides death, it is death. Whether you are willing or not, you have to face this bloody fact.
As for the commanders and gunners of the Inuyang troops who wielded command swords, their fate was even worse!
The reason is the same as the machine gunners mentioned above. They are also the priority targets of the sniper team. The shooters of the sniper team specialize in picking up the machine gunners of the canine troops and fighting with the commander. Often the commander's knife has just been waved a few times and "killed" ***" shouted before he was shot and fell to the ground before he could get enough of the drink.
One after another, the Japanese squad and platoon leaders fell to the ground and died. At the same time, one after another, not far from them, were shot in the head by machine guns.
When the battle progressed to the seventh and a half minutes, the second military officer of the Inukai Squadron, deputy squadron leader Hideki Aoki, was shot in the head.
When the battle reached the fifteenth minute, Squadron Leader Inukai, who had already received one shot, took the last shot in his life.
This time, the old boy's luck was not as good as before. This time, Captain Inukai was shot in the neck by Lin Songyuan, half of his neck was broken, and blood gushed out like a fountain. At this point, Inukai The squadron leader has completely finished his life, and the entire Inuyang squadron has lost its supreme commander.
Another nine minutes passed, that is, when the battle reached the twenty-fourth minute, all the squad leaders and squad leaders of the Inukai unit had been sent to hell.
You can no longer find Japanese commanders waving command islands on the Japanese positions.
As for the Japanese machine gunners, let alone that. From the moment the battle started, they were busy changing gunners. One after another fell down, one after another came up, and so on. One after another was sent to hell report, that is to say, the entire Japanese machine gun has never formed effective combat effectiveness since the battle started.
The reason is very simple. As long as anyone gets close to the machine gun, they will definitely be headshot in less than three minutes. There are n number of gunmen there specifically watching them.
Years later, a veteran wrote in his memoirs:
¡°Our old leader Tao Ping is definitely a man who loves soldiers who knows how to fight. He will never let his soldiers bleed in vain. The battle at Yeboar Ridge is the most memorable ambush battle I participated in.
Originally, we all thought that this battle would be a very brutal fight, so in the preparation stage of battle mobilization, we all found partners and divided into combat groups, preparing to use three-on-one or four-on-one The old method is to fight with the little devil on the bayonet.
But in the subsequent battles, there was no large-scale close-quarters fighting scene as we imagined.
The reason is very simple. At that time, there was a huge disparity in the ratio between the enemy and ourselves. Our side had an absolute advantage. The ratio between the enemy and us was astonishingly one to thirteen or four. In other words, every enemy had thirteen or four of our soldiers watching over them. You said this battle was easy or not.
The old leader Tao Ping said that instead of letting the soldiers fight with the enemy with bayonets, it is better to use these little devils to let the soldiers practice marksmanship - gun shooting.? people.
In this way, like a moving target, we eliminated the enemies who were still resisting one by one in the mountains. In the end, even when there were less than ten enemies left, our troops did not launch an attack. Rushing to the peak is still a matter of follow-up shots and headshots.
Maybe when it comes to this, many comrades will say that bayonets see red is our fine tradition, how can we throw it away so lightly.
Regarding this statement, I can only say that it is just a superficial statement from someone who has never actually been on the battlefield.
In fact, the casualties of hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield are often very huge for both sides of the battle. Since both sides of the battle use cold weapons at close range, a bayonet will cause a big bloody hole. If you want to block it, It can't be blocked.
It can be said that the entire process of determining victory or defeat in a hand-to-hand battle is that within three or five rounds, you will either hack the enemy to death with a machete, or you will be stabbed to death by the enemy's bayonet. As for your fate, this is Only God has the final say.
One thing to mention in particular is that who your opponent is is very important. If the opponent is a veteran of the Japanese army, then you have to be careful. Therefore, personal training and luck are equally important. In addition, group coordination is also the key to victory.
"Three against one" is the most classic tactic of physical combat. The upper, middle and lower groups attack at the same time to ensure that the little devil meets the King of Hell.
Even if the ancestral graves were well buried and those who were injured at the time did not die, it is often difficult to escape the wound infection in the later period.
You know, in those days when we were fighting for bayonets, the medical conditions in the army were very poor. Not only were there a shortage of doctors and medicines, but antibiotics were not as widely used as they are now. The only antibiotic that can be used on the table is xanthan. , and I am reluctant to use it. I need to get approval from the superior to use xanthan, so in many cases, a small wound infection may lead to amputation.
As for those comrades who were injured on the battlefield and survived, a large part of it was because they were lucky enough. Of course, personal luck is also a very important aspect.
As for some people now bragging about bayonets because they have become popular, I can only say that it is a stupid method that cannot be solved in a specific era and under special conditions. It is best not to use this method to fight wars now. The reason is very simple: the casualties of the troops are too high. Got it!
They have more machine guns than you, rifles, and more artillery shells than you. If you don¡¯t fight hard, what else do you have to fight with them?
But then again, I still admire the fighting ability of those little Japs who entered China in the early days. They fought to the last one and still did not surrender. This is very worthy of our learning.
In the battle at Wild Boar Ridge, even though we surrounded them heavily and launched a surprise attack on them with more than ten times the force, we still paid the price of more than 60 sacrifices, and all the guns hit the head and face. , leaving you and Ben with no way to save you.
So, don¡¯t be fooled by the current movies and TV shows. The Japs who entered China in the early days were very accurate with their marksmanship. The probability of a headshot within 200 meters on the plains was definitely more than 50%.
Of course, after four or three years, the military quality of the Japanese student soldiers and child soldiers will be completely rotten, and we can take care of the three of them. "
While the troops commanded by Tao Ping and others were cleaning the battlefield in Yezhu Ridge and picking off the military uniforms and leather shoes of the little Japanese, the special assault under the guidance of Tian Erhu and others had already captured Qiu Laishun's hometown.
There was no way, that was how the battlefields were fought in those days. Never let go of a single strand. As long as it could be used for a second time, all were taken away. Not even a single hair was left alone. Who said that the Eighth Route Army was poor and the people were too crowded? Not much!
The Japanese military uniforms were stripped off, dyed in a large dyeing vat, then mended and altered, and they became our military uniforms. Although they looked weird, they were better than nothing.
Without Qiu Laishun and Huo Dushan to cheer up the armed servants, they just relied on Qiu Laishun's bastard son to be useless, and they were defeated in three attempts.
Besides, as for the armed servants of Qiu Laishun's family, you can ask them to use guns to scare and frighten the people. Their real combat effectiveness is very bad, especially in front of the commandos crawling out from the pile of dead people. I almost peed my pants.
As a result, the food was piled up into a hill, and the ocean was carried out in a large box. It was a pity that Qiu Laishun's bastard son ran away from the tunnel, and only a few of Qiu Laishun's wives were captured.
There is no other way. It is better to kill these women than to arrest them. The result is that each of them will be given ten dollars - the family members of the traitors will be sent away.
Note: As for Qiu Laishun, that bastard¡¯s eldest son, he became a bastard in the later civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.He was the leader of a militia group, but God's fate played a trick on him. During a militia training, a recruit misfired and shot the young bastard in the back. As a result, the boy was so confused. Seeing that his bastard father has gone, of course this is an afterthought. From now on, Qiu Da bastard's family is no longer popular.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the way, just as the Japanese dog-breeding troops were being stripped naked, the "news of victory" from the village's close battalion commander and captain Matsushichiro was constantly being spread to Iijima Aiharu's headquarters.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Mr. Murunuchi and Mr. Matsushita are approaching Taoping's headquarters. So far, Tao Ping still seems to have not discovered the movements of our army." Chief of Staff Tian Jianghe Wanli sent two telegrams that had just been received. After handing it to the commander of the Iijima Aiharu division, he said very excitedly.
