    In fact, as soon as he led the troops up the mountain, he discovered that there were considerable problems in the use of tactics by the Guanneri troops during defensive operations. In such battles during the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the deployment of troops was generally light in advance.  The firepower is heavy in the front and light in the rear. In an area like Highland 1613, only one platoon is usually placed.

    For some positions that are not conducive to defense and are not too important, troops are generally not deployed for defense. Most of them are only controlled by firepower. This way, the effective forces at hand can be concentrated to focus on defending the main positions and some important cover positions without using them.  His limited troops and firepower were dispersed.

    When conducting defensive battles in the main position, most of the troops are deployed on the anti-slope position or behind the ridge. At the same time, a number of tunnels are dug as much as possible on the defensive position to reduce the risk of damage as much as possible.  If there is no time to dig tunnels due to the damage caused by the puppet army's artillery fire, a number of simple anti-artillery holes and troop garrison holes will be dug on the reverse slope position.

    Like the Guannai Army on the mountain, a company is placed on a position on the main peak that is not large, and troops are placed on each position for defense regardless of priority. This will cause the deployment of troops to be too dense in some places.  In some cases, they dispersed their own few troops.

    Moreover, in such a situation where the Japanese and puppet troops have an absolute advantage in artillery fire and do not hesitate to suppress the fire, without the cover of solid fortifications and in places where the troops are too concentrated, a falling shell will cause a lot of casualties. In this situation  , no matter how much troops are invested, it will only be wasted in vain.

    And deploying troops in some positions that have no defensive value in the first place will invisibly disperse one's own strength. These large positions cannot be used with large forces, and only small units are not strong enough to persist for a long time. In the battle situation  In an emergency, when the main positions could not mobilize troops for support, they could only watch the defense troops on these positions being eaten by the Japanese and puppet troops one by one.

    If the troops can be divided into echelons during the battle and deployed in the shelter of the anti-slope position, depending on the frontline battle situation and casualties, the casualties will be much smaller if they are thrown into the battle one by one. Some unnecessary positions will be abandoned and the troops will be concentrated to stick to the main line.  In terms of positions and the most important flank cover positions, even if the Japanese and puppet troops have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength and firepower, at least they will not fight so hard.

    It's just that his consideration was based on the weapons establishment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but he did not consider the difference in equipment between the two armies. The Anti-Union troops each have an automatic rifle, and their firepower is almost as good as a light machine gun or a general-purpose machine gun.  The rate of fire and range of the standard battalion 12mm anti-aircraft machine gun are far from comparable to the crooked light machine gun and Type 92 heavy machine gun equipped by the Japanese and puppet troops.

    There are also a large number of direct-aimed firepower such as rocket launchers and recoilless rifles, which can remotely control those positions, but these equipment are not available among the Guan Nei troops. Although the Anti-Japanese Federation airlifted a large number of weapons and ammunition to the Guan Nei troops, the Guan Nei troops also  Each squad can only be guaranteed to have one light machine gun, and each battalion can only have a four-gun heavy machine gun company.

    This kind of firepower cannot be compared with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, especially the lightweight direct-aiming artillery, which is extremely lacking. Except for the brigade-level troops with a flat-fire artillery company, the troops below the regiment are equipped with some grenades.  In addition, there are no light direct-aimed weapons.

    If according to their style of play, the puppet army has an absolute advantage in Japan and launches offensives with companies as the organizational structure, based on the firepower standards of the Kanai troops, they may not be able to defend for an hour. The gap in firepower and equipment  The distance caused the two sides to use different tactics.

    If the advancing troops did not think of constructing some tunnels on the anti-slope position, then only part of the troops would be deployed at the front, and the rest of the troops would serve as reserves. In order to prevent Japanese and puppet artillery fire damage, they should be placed on the anti-slope.  It¡¯s not that these experienced troop commanders on the mountain didn¡¯t understand.

    However, there was no other way to concentrate the limited troops on the small position on the main peak and fight against the artillery fire of the Japanese and puppet troops. After the heavy machine guns, which were the main pillars of firepower, lost their embers, in order to increase the firepower density, the Third Regiment  The troops on the mountain can only devote all their forces to the front line positions.

    There is no way. We currently have insufficient troops. We cannot afford the hand-to-hand combat that was the main mode of combat before. We want to rely on firepower to kill the Japanese and puppet troops as much as possible to defend their positions. However, the light and heavy machine guns as the main firepower support are on the opposite side of the 1052 Highlands.  Under the bombardment of the army artillery, heavy losses were suffered.

    In order to make up for the lack of firepower, the original defense forces could only fight in platoons to increase the density of firepower as much as possible. Although this method of fighting was costly, it was still much better than hand-to-hand combat at the frontier.  How could it be possible to concentrate enough firepower with only one platoon of troops on the position?

      However, the third regiment suffered such heavy casualties in the battle. In addition to the above reasons, there is another point that cannot be ignored. Although some company-level commanders have rich actual combat experience, they still have some shortcomings in the use of firepower and tactics.  , in the battle, they only pay attention to hard work and do not pay much attention to the adjustment of troop deployment during the battle.

    This is also another very important reason why the defense forces of the third regiment suffered heavy casualties. If the commanders of the companies going up the mountain could pay attention to tactical adjustments during the battle, the casualty rate might not be so high. Of course, the Japanese and puppet troops  The intensity of the artillery bombardment was unprecedented, and the explosion point of the artillery shells almost followed the footsteps of the attacking troops. This was also the reason why the defending troops had no choice but to resist.

    If it were not supported by a strong will, according to the current casualty ratio of the three regiments, any one of them would have collapsed long ago. Except for their current opponent, the Japanese army, no other unit can be effective in the entire regiment.  Even though it was almost completely consumed, he could still hold on to the position.

    In view of the tactical errors of the original defenders and the actual situation on the main peak of 1613, it was too late to ask for instructions from the foot of the mountain. The anti-union company commander who led the team up the mountain placed most of the troops on the reverse slope.  Only one reinforced platoon was left in the frontal defense position. At the same time, anti-infantry directional mines were quickly redeployed by taking advantage of the gaps between artillery fire and Japanese and puppet attacks.

    However, the weakening of the front-line defense force does not mean reducing the firepower of the frontal position. He deployed the recoilless rifles and rocket launchers brought up the mountain, as well as the anti-aircraft machine guns assigned by his superiors to the front, and used the anti-aircraft machine guns to suppress the Japanese heavy machine gun positions on the mountain.  , covering the recoilless gun platoon in search of favorable terrain.

    The task he gave to the assigned recoilless rifle platoon leader was very simple. Each of his recoilless rifles must keep an eye on the 92 infantry gun on the opposite mountain. It doesn't matter how hard it is to hit him, but there is one thing that must be done.  , that is, those 92 infantry cannons must be knocked down in the shortest possible time.

    It was already dawn, and the mountains opposite also lacked vegetation. Highland 1613 overlooks Highland 1052, which is much shorter than it. The field of view can be said to be quite broad. I want to find those 92 Infantrymen.  The position of the artillery is not a difficult matter.

    Moreover, after the Japanese and puppet troops discovered that they had begun to switch defenses here, it was not just Yamashita who increased the intensity of attacks and shelling. The 92 infantry cannons on the opposite highland 1052 that were used as direct firepower also participated.  For shelling, as long as they fire, no matter how well concealed they are, their position can be found.

    In addition, although the Type 92 Infantry Cannon is light, the Japanese and puppet troops removed both wheel shields in order to cover it as much as possible. In this way, the height of the Type 92 Infantry Cannon is even lower than that of the Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun, but  Even if the cannon body is made very low, it is not traceable.

    Moreover, the Japanese army also built simple defenses for these 92 infantry cannons and the same 92 heavy machine gun positions on the mountain. Although the Japanese and puppet troops on the opposite mountain were arrogant, they did not think that the artillery would be exposed to the opponent.  Under the eyes, not even a single fortification was repaired.

    They have heavy machine guns, and they also have them on the mountain opposite. For the Type 92 heavy machine gun, which is also used on the mountain opposite, it is not impossible or inaccurate to hit a distance of less than 300 meters. This is why they are using  After going up the mountain, why should we destroy the heavy machine gun position on the main peak first?

    The 92 Infantry Cannon can effectively conceal itself by taking advantage of its lightness, but the most basic sandbag fortifications outside the artillery position cannot be concealed, so I want to find these 92 Infantry Cannon and lock them.  The location is still very accessible.

    It's just that the action on this side of the mountain was fast, and the Japanese and puppet troops on the other side of the mountain at Highland 1052 were not slow to respond. As soon as the anti-alliance troops entered the position, before they had time to hand over the defense, the Japanese troops at Highland 1052 on the opposite side also  Upon noticing the defense change on the mountain, they immediately used the infantry artillery and heavy machine guns deployed on the mountain to wildly suppress fire at Highland 1613 and the two flanking highlands.

    The military uniforms of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the uniforms of the Guanneri Army are not only different in style, but also in the most basic colors. The Japanese and puppet troops on the opposite mountain are not fools. They will not be able to tell the difference between the two teams. The Japanese and puppet troops on the 1052 Highlands are different.  When they saw a troop coming up from the opposite mountain with uniforms different from those of the advancing army, they immediately noticed something unusual.

    In addition to the Japanese and puppet troops on Highland 1052 desperately pouring firepower into the main peak position, the Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain also adjusted their deployment, changing their previous tactics of advancing simultaneously on the three highlands on the main peak, regardless of the firepower of the two flanking highlands.  , concentrated their forces to launch an assault on the 1613 Highlands, and instead adopted fire suppression methods for the two highlands on both sides.

    The Japanese and puppet troops suddenly changed their combat plan, but instead used the gaps in the Japanese and puppet army's artillery fire to change defenses and focus on the mountains.The garrison troops who adjusted their deployment were somewhat unprepared. Fortunately, although the troops from the Anti-Japanese Alliance only deployed one platoon in front, their firepower was sufficient, and the automatic rifles were very effective in such close-range mountain battles.  The power is much greater than that of a manual rifle. The firepower of a platoon is enough to defeat a squadron of the Japanese army.

    The company commander who led the team up the mountain saw that the Japanese army changed their previous tactics and moved away from the high ground on both wings to attack the 1613 highland. Although he was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength and had almost no fortifications to rely on, he was not timid at all.  Command the troops to fight on the spot.
