    There was no way I had insufficient ammunition and poor equipment before. If I relied solely on firepower to annihilate the enemy, even if I fired out all the bullets, I might not be able to last for half an hour. If I didn¡¯t practice hand-to-hand combat, how could I attack the Japanese army and seize the enemy¡¯s weapons for myself?  Use it, set up an ambush at close range, and attack after three shots.

    The Japanese army has a tenacious fighting style. They will not surrender their weapons until they are killed. They have strong firepower and sufficient ammunition. The most important thing is that they have the habit of destroying their weapons and equipment under adverse circumstances. If they do not engage in close-range ambush battles and hand-to-hand combat, even if they can  Even if they managed to eat the Japanese soldiers in front of them, they would get nothing.

    On the contrary, not only did they have to suffer losses, but they also had to consume ammunition that was in short supply and difficult to replenish. They paid the price, but did not capture any loot that could make up for the losses. Most of the sources of their own weapons and ammunition depended on seizures.  For the Guannai troops, this is an uneconomical battle.

    Only by taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army has not reacted, and have already merged with the enemy, and then relying on the advantage of numbers, using broadswords and bayonets at the same time, can the Japanese army in front of them be wiped out in the shortest time. Only in this way can as many as possible be wiped out.  Only by obtaining the complete captured weapons can we seize as much ammunition as possible.

    In the words of the veteran commander who served as the commander of the advancing army, when the enemy's guns are not lowered, the cannons are not unhooked, and the horses are not unsaddled, we must mingle with the enemy's troops and use superior strength to attack them.  To resolve the battle in the shortest time and seize the enemy's weapons and ammunition for your own use, this is a cost-effective battle from the perspective of the customs troops.

    In order to cope with this tactic, various troops within the pass worked very hard to practice hand-to-hand combat according to their own conditions. Although the bayonets were easy to break and the battle damage was too large, and the production process was high and required high raw materials, they could not produce it themselves.  The number of equipment is generally insufficient, but they are basically replaced by large knives that are simple to produce and manufacture.

    After several years of experience in the war of resistance behind enemy lines with a shortage of guns and ammunition, although the marksmanship has not changed much due to the supply of ammunition, but after painstaking efforts, the level of hand-to-hand combat of these old Eighth Route Army soldiers is basically not low, even if it is better than that of others.  It's not like the Japanese army, but it's not too bad.

    After entering the Northeast and changing their equipment, especially after equipping themselves with bayonets, these old Eighth Route Army soldiers were more confident when fighting hand-to-hand combat. However, the only thing that made these Old Eighth Route Army soldiers complain was that after entering the Northeast, their broadswords were all used by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  The fact that it was confiscated made the battalion commander from the 29th Army complain for a long time.

    In addition, after arriving in the Northeast, a large number of submachine guns and other rapid-fire weapons were added to the troops, which obviously gave them some advantages in close combat. After the battalion commander discovered that the number of Japanese troops he intercepted was too large, he based on his interactions with the Japanese troops.  With many years of fighting experience, he immediately made up his mind to engage in hand-to-hand combat and close combat with the Japanese army.

    After the battle started, although there was no artillery, with the firepower of five heavy machine guns and nine light machine guns he had secretly set up on the mountainside on both sides in advance, and concentrated all the grenade launchers, with what he said was an unprecedentedly dense firepower, first  He broke up the entire formation of the Japanese army that he intercepted.

    He commanded three companies to take advantage of this short gap. One company made a frontal assault, and the two companies quickly inserted themselves into the Japanese marching sequence along the two wings, under the cover of a large number of submachine guns concentrated in the first echelon, and moved as fast as possible.  Speed ??was mixed with the Japanese army.

    The two armies, which were of equal strength and had roughly the same equipment, centered on Shijiazitun, which had only a dozen households, and fought the largest hand-to-hand battle in the entire battle along the valleys on both sides.  , the battalion that advanced in this battle used the hot weapons in their hands to stage a tragic battle that could only be seen in the era of cold weapons.

    If the bayonet is bent, use the gun butt. If the gun butt is broken, use your fist, engineer shovel, or even teeth and randomly picked up stones. They are all used as weapons. The machine gunner fired all the bullets in the magazine because the distance between the two armies was too close.  He was so close that he didn't have time to put on a new magazine. Facing the Japanese troops rushing up from around him, he used the light machine gun in his hand as a hammer and gave the Japanese troops a round of madness.

    The submachine gunner fired all the bullets in the magazine. Because he had no time to replace the magazine, he was stabbed into the chest by the swarming Japanese bayonets. He directly fired the grenade he was carrying and dragged several or even a dozen Japanese soldiers around him on the road.  , the lightly wounded did not leave the firing line, and the seriously wounded fired grenades and died together with the enemy.

    After Colonel Okajima led another infantry brigade and fled first when the situation was bad, the company that originally occupied the hilltop to block the two Japanese troops from approaching, under the command of the battalion's instructor, also rushed down the hill and joined them.  In this hand-to-hand combat at the battalion level.

    By this time, the battalion, which was holding its breath from top to bottom, from the battalion commander to the soldiers below, had thrown aside all tactics except the enemy in front of them, pounced on them, and bit the Japanese in front of them, even if they wanted to die.  Dragging them to hell together, when the charge horn sounded, the whole battalion went out. Those who had guns took their guns, and those who didn'tThey picked up the poles and rushed out. Even the cooks rushed forward with kitchen knives.

    Although the Japanese troops in front of them had received strict hand-to-hand combat training, the battle started very suddenly. The enemy troops rushed in front of them in a short time, giving them little chance to get closer. Not to mention, they concentrated a large number of submachine guns.  Once Japanese soldiers get close, they will sweep away and disperse the Japanese soldiers who finally got close.

    Before they could gather again to back-to-back, the enemy troops had already rushed to the situation in front of them. The strict training they had received could not be used at all. They could only follow the requirements of the infantry drill and remove all the bullets from the barrel.  Finally, he started a head-on fight with his opponent.

    The reason why the Japanese army generally had an absolute advantage when facing the Chinese army in hand-to-hand combat was that their physical fitness was generally superior to that of the Chinese army, their guns were powerful, their thrusting movements were extremely fierce, and the rifles they were equipped with had long and slender bodies.  In addition to taking advantage of it, they have specially developed a system of hand-to-hand tactics.

    In hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese army rarely relied on individual soldiers to fight opponents with bayonets. Instead, they had a set of effective tactical combinations. Once two or three Japanese soldiers were placed back to back, they would use this tactic to fight against each other in person.  The Chinese army, even as a squad, is generally helpless and may even suffer heavy losses in hand-to-hand combat.

    In comparison, the vast majority of the Chinese army, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, had not received special training in hand-to-hand combat, nor had they deliberately studied hand-to-hand tactics. In so-called hand-to-hand combat, the competition was not about tactics, but who was more capable.  Whoever is not afraid of death will perform more fiercely on the battlefield.

    When the Kanai troops were fighting in close combat with the Japanese army, they used the hand-to-hand combat tactics of the civil war to deal with the Japanese army. However, after suffering enough, they were determined to find a way to specifically target the Japanese army's tactics. After a long period of exploration, they also  A set of effective targeting tactics was formed.

    It's just that this time everyone has equal strength. Unlike in the past, when the internal troops were fighting hand-to-hand combat, they concentrated their absolute superior forces. Once they were mixed together, the originally effective tactics were disrupted. In other words, in this hand-to-hand combat, the two sides participating in the war were  All tactics were no longer useful, and it had actually become a chaotic battle.

    Several Japanese soldiers here were just back to back, ready for hand-to-hand combat. A burst of rapid fire from submachine guns over there broke up the Japanese soldiers who were close together. Before the Japanese soldiers were scattered, they gathered up again and completed their tactical preparations again.  The advancing soldiers over there had already rushed over with rifles with bayonets fixed.

    The advancing submachine gunners here ran out of bullets, and before they had time to change their magazines, the Japanese bayonets over there were already stabbed at them. Everyone was almost biting each other one-on-one. At this moment, no tactics could be used at all, so why not  Everyone dispersed to fight, and pistols, rifles, and even light machine guns became tools for hand-to-hand combat.

    Coupled with the fighting style of both being fierce and unafraid of death, and never letting go until they fall, in this hand-to-hand battle, the performance of both sides on the battlefield was actually half a pound to half a pound. No matter who fell, they would not let it go.  If the other party is in trouble, at least one person, or even several companions, must be tied up.

    Although this battle did not last long and the number of troops participating in the battle was not large, the casualty ratio in the battle was the highest among the battles in western Liaoning. After a fierce battle, the casualty ratio of both sides  It was one to one. Although the troops who advanced to join the battle had a slight advantage because they were equipped with a large number of submachine guns, this advantage was not much better than if they had not taken advantage of it.

    When Cao Yafan led his headquarters from the Luofugou front line, the largest hand-to-hand battle in the western Liaoning campaign had ended. The entire Shijiazi front line, a valley of more than 500 meters from east to west, was  The bodies of the dead from both sides, as well as damaged weapons and equipment, were everywhere.

    The three companies of the unit that participated in hand-to-hand combat, plus one company that was subsequently invested, totaled more than 700 officers and soldiers in four companies. Except for more than 30 lightly wounded, all were sacrificed and no one survived. The Japanese troops they intercepted  , three infantry squadrons plus some artillery, a total of more than 700 people, were all killed and no one escaped.

    Looking at the messy battlefield in front of him, Cao Yafan suppressed the anger in his heart and remained silent for a long time. If the battalion commander who was covered with injuries and was barely able to stand up by two soldiers was a cadre of his own unit, he would be angry.  He's not light, he might just kick him over.

    These are all old bones, the old foundation for future expansion. They are just gone. Even if they are brother troops, Cao Yafan is surprisingly angry. If they are allowed to fight such a battle, which is said to be a loss-free battle, the headquarters will still find ways to provide for them.  Why are they changing their clothes?

    No. 1 worked so hard that he did not hesitate to make concessions when negotiating with the Soviet Union, and tried his best to meet the equipment requirements of the troops of the advancing army arriving in the Northeast.?, almost at all costs, they improved their equipment, and at the same time made great efforts to mobilize a large number of backbones to train them and improve the technical and tactical level of the entire advancing army.

    On the battlefield, both No. 1 and his immediate boss, Li Mingfeng, repeatedly weighed the use of the advancing army in order to avoid such battles as much as possible and ensure the vitality of the advancing army as much as possible.  Keep the foundation for the next great development of the Guannei army.

    But in this battle, there were more than 700 casualties, and very few of the wounded could be rescued. It can be said that almost all of the casualties of cadres and soldiers were permanent losses, except for the battalion commander.  , the instructor and deputy battalion commander all died. Among the ten company commanders and instructors of four infantry companies and one heavy machine gun company, only one instructor was left who was seriously injured and unconscious.

    Only one of the fifteen platoon commanders is left. He is the platoon leader of a machine gun platoon in the heavy machine gun company of the battalion. He is at the level of squad leader. The death rate has reached 100%. With this casualty ratio, it can be said that the entire battalion was killed.  In Cao Yafan's view, this result was undoubtedly quite annoying.

    All the cadres who have been tested for so long have been sacrificed. How long will it take to make up for such a huge loss, and how much will it cost to train those backbones? If the fight continues at this casualty ratio, what will happen at the headquarters?  All the hard work was in vain.
