Chapter 218(1/2)
Zhang Yunfei racked his brains thinking about how to hold back and destroy this group of Japs.
Only the Eighth Route Army's truly well-equipped front-line main force has the strength to confront the Japanese head-on.
The other second and third-line troops were far from the Japanese in terms of military quality and equipment level, and they simply did not have the strength to fight a tough battle with the Japanese.
This also resulted in the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army having to do everything possible to use all conditions and adapt to local conditions to maximize their combat power in order to deal with the Japanese.
Why are there so many generals on the Eighth Route Army? It’s not that the Eighth Route Army is really full of talented people. It’s because they were all forced to come out.
Just like them, when dealing with dozens of Japs, they have to risk their lives and use all their strength. It's like walking on a tightrope. One oversight can lead to disaster.
This disparity in strength and the fighting style of fighting with chestnuts in the fire forced the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army to grow up quickly and not make the slightest mistake in battle.
It would be difficult for the commanders and fighters who survived in such a harsh environment not to be outstanding.
Summarizing various combat experiences with the Japs, close combat and mobile warfare are relatively the two best combat modes, which at least narrow or offset the gap in firepower between the two sides.
Of course, they are still inferior to the Japs, and the casualty ratio is not optimistic at the same time, so Zhang Yunfei is still reluctant to engage in street fighting or hand-to-hand combat with the Japs.
Under Zhang Yunfei's deliberate guidance, the Pingchuan detachment came up with the concept of ignition coverage, so they are still a relatively strong force in terms of firepower. At least compared to the small team of Japs who do not have heavy firepower, they are not as good in firepower.
How inferior.
This was also the reason why he dared to fight a blocking battle with the Japanese. Melee combat was also life-threatening. If he could suppress the opponent with firepower, it would be better not to use it.
Time passed slowly as the sun slowly rose, and the enemy formations began to move forward after finishing their rest. They were not stupid enough to take a nap and rest before launching an attack.
The Eighth Route Army is here to block them, so naturally they don't want them to move forward. If they really stop moving forward, wouldn't they be fulfilling the Eighth Route Army's wishes?
Seeing the Japs moving forward in a skirmish line, Zhang Yunfei ordered everyone to take cover, and then loudly ordered: "Everyone has taken cover. Don't show up and put the Japs within 200 meters before shooting."
Although their firepower is not much different from that of the Japs now, the difference in the military quality of their soldiers is too big, so they can only fight the Japs closer.
The Eighth Route Army did not fire, and the Japanese naturally did not fire either. Their skirmisher lines were wide open and they bent forward and pushed forward.
With the Japanese's tactical prowess, they have not reached the best firing area yet, so they will not fire randomly.
When the distance between the two sides narrowed to more than 300 meters, the Japanese machine gun team and grenade team stopped and looked for bunkers.
Click, click, click, the Japanese machine gun opened fire first, and the rain of bullets caused the soil in front of their trench position to fly.
Zhang Yunfei sat in the trench, looking at the flying soil in a daze.
"The kid is so fucking rich, bullets seem to be free." Qi Dajiu sighed at the side.
He had seen the fighting style of Zhang Ergou's troops, and he felt that it was quite prodigal. However, every time he saw the little devil's fighting style, he always felt that it was too damn stupid.
Zhang Yunfei glanced at him disdainfully. He was really a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. This small scene was nothing. The little devils in this era could only show off in front of the Chinese army. Compared with those armies in the West, they were nothing.
Poor guy.
The new soldiers and the militiamen looked panicked when they saw the Japanese shooting, but the veterans did not take it seriously. This was just a tactical move by the Japanese.
The Japs strictly followed their infantry attack procedures. Machine gun fire was suppressed, the infantry advanced, then the infantry fire was suppressed, and the machine gun and other fire positions moved forward.
Even if they haven't been counterattacked yet, this kind of procedure will not be omitted, so they often feel a little confused when fighting the Eighth Route Army and always don't follow the routine.
"There are three crooked weapons. These Japs are really well equipped. No wonder you are being chased by them in such a panic." A Japs squad is usually equipped with two machine guns, and only some elite troops are equipped with three light machine guns. Of course, some
Sometimes the mission team is temporarily strengthened and equipped with three machine guns.
Naturally, the one chasing Qi Dajiu couldn't be an elite squad, but should belong to a squad that temporarily strengthened its firepower.
Qi Dajiu snorted and ignored Zhang Yunfei, "Damn it, you just mean devils when you talk about devils, and you still insist on dragging him in to make fun of him, let alone the devils' reinforcement team, just an ordinary devils team, the one in his squadron"
It's not a shame to meet someone who is no match for you.
But when these words came into Zhang Ergou's mouth, the taste changed. It turned out that the dog couldn't spit out ivory, so he was too lazy to argue.
Zhang Yunfei and Qi Dajiu sat quietly, listening to the roar of the Japanese's three crooked machine guns, spitting tongues of fire.
After a while, the Japanese machine gunfire stopped, and the crackling rifle fire started again.
The Japanese's second hail of rifle bullets came over again, and their battle was about to begin.
"Can you guys do it? If not, my squadron can also be transferred up." Qi Dajiu said.
"Save it, the people you brought up are not much better than the district team. They are just running around like rabbits when being chased by the Japanese. It's better not to cause trouble."
"You..." Qi Dajiu choked heavily.
"Don't be dissatisfied. Fighting against the Japs is not just about having a large number of people. Learn from it and see how we fight against the Japs. Don't just rush blindly all day long." Zhang Yunfei shook off the splattered soil on his body.
He picked up the 38-type rifle in his hand, ignored the bullets whizzing above his head, and began to crawl toward the shooting position.
Qi Dajiu opened his mouth to refute something, but in the end he said nothing. As a squadron leader, he can only be regarded as an enhanced platoon leader at most. In terms of combat experience, he can say that he is no worse than Zhang Ergou, but when it comes to this scale,
He really didn't have much say in the resistance war, so he wisely kept his mouth shut to avoid humiliating himself.
A few seconds later, Zhang Yunfei's troops began to fight back, and there was a loud sound of gunfire.
Boom boom... there was a loud explosion in the trench where Zhang Yunfei was stationed.
The soil in the trenches was trembling desperately, and large tracts of sand were swept up, and then turned into criss-crossing rain of sand and soil, splashing outwards.
It was sprinkled into the trenches, hit on the bodies of soldiers, and fell into people's mouths. Nothing could be seen, only dust and dirt fell into the trenches one by one, and the sounds of coughing and spitting mud could be heard.
"Damn it, Li Da Yandian, kill this little devil with a grenade for me." Zhang Ergou's furious voice came out, and Qi Dajiu, who was sitting in the traffic ditch in shock, realized that he was sitting here and following
The two idiots are like new recruits.
Damn, even though his squadron was ignored by Zhang Ergou again, he still wanted to participate in the battle. So Qi Dajiu picked up the rifle in his hand, and like Zhang Ergou just did, climbed out along the traffic trench towards the forward position.
.
The enemy's grenade is easy to carry and has a fast rate of fire. It is a nightmare for all civil engineering projects. Especially the new recruits, who looked at the roaring position in a daze, unable to imagine how tragic it must be there.
Everyone was so shocked that they could not speak. They were so nervous that they had forgotten to breathe, and their faces were red from holding back. This was a legendary scene, and it was too shocking.
The recruits are afraid of artillery. This is not as simple as it sounds. This shocking scene with the explosion light effects is too scary.
This is only the effect of the smallest caliber grenade. If it were mountain artillery, field artillery, or those large-caliber heavy artillery, the scene would really scare people to death.
Although this scene is very scary, the Japanese grenades are not real artillery, and it is impossible to completely turn over the position and level it.
The grenades from the grenades look quite scary, but the actual effect is not that scary. Unless the grenade falls into the position and explodes next to you, the grenade that falls outside the position is blocked by the trenches, so the threat is much smaller.
.
The explosions stopped, the gunshots stopped coming, and suddenly everything became quiet, and the surrounding area suddenly fell into deathly silence.
There was only a moment of silence, and then there was a burst of gunfire, and Zhang Yunfei and others counterattacked even more fiercely.
The caliber of the grenade was only fifty millimeters, and it was actually a large grenade. The casualties caused were not as great as expected. Zhang Yunfei's men immediately began to counterattack after the explosion stopped.
The explosion of the booming grenade sounded again, but this time it sounded in the enemy formation. The little devil was a little confused now. Many times, the Chinese army doubted that their grenades could hit it.
Although the Chinese army is equipped with grenade launchers, they are only a minority after all, and the level of grenade launchers is not that good. To be honest, they really do not pose much of a threat to the Japanese.
But now, they were bombed by a group of Tubal grenades, and the accuracy was such that they could hardly hold their heads up.
Zhuzi pulled away the machine gun in his arms and stood up again. The little devil's crooked handle was actually easy to use, but it was a little too delicate. Once it got into the mud, it would get stuck easily, so when the devil's grenades attacked repeatedly
, he held the machine gun in his arms.
The pillar stuck its head out, set up the machine gun, aimed at the Japanese, and pulled the trigger. At this time, Li Danidai's grenade bombardment also started.
They are both silent people and seldom talk a lot. They usually don't speak a few words a day. Naturally, they don't have any technical exchanges. They all do their own things.
But they are partners, and the tacit understanding between partners is not communicated through words, but is formed through long-term cooperation. They fire every second and fire at the same time.
The brief silence was broken in an instant, the manic machine guns were beating, and the crazy bullet rain passed through the bullet rain of the grenade, dancing with the explosion of grenades, shooting at the prostrate Japanese soldiers, two crooked machine guns fired alternately,
They sang a death movement in harmony with the explosions of grenades.
The Japanese were not as lucky as the Eighth Route Army. They were in an open area, but there were no trenches or bunkers for them to hide in, so they could only lie down tightly on the ground, hoping to reduce the impact area.
The current situation is just the opposite. At this time, the Japanese position has become miserable, which makes people's eyes sad to see it.
There was a gunshot, and Zhang Yunfei shot down a Japanese soldier lying on the ground.
The Japs were now within 200 meters. In order to avoid grenade grenades and machine gun fire, they could only lie down somewhere, like a fixed target.
Zhang Yunfei moved the muzzle of his gun laterally, aimed at another lying Japanese, pulled the bolt, loaded the bullet again, and lightly pulled the trigger. The Japanese lying there kept kicking his legs, and stopped struggling after a while.
"Puff!" Zhang Yunfei quickly shrank his head, and the bullet hit him in the dirt, splashing him with a splash.
Zhang Yunfei secretly sighed that Tiedan, a sharpshooter, was not here. Otherwise, with his shooting skills and shooting speed, he might be able to kill a few more Japs while the Japs were stunned.
Now that the Japanese have reacted to the sudden attack, this situation of hitting a fixed target without any interference is no longer the case.
"Bah, bah, these little devils are really crazy. All the bullets are fucking coming at me." Qi Dajiu, who retreated into the trench, spat out the splattered mud and said in his mouth.
"What are you doing here? If you die, your squadron will really be leaderless." Zhang Yunfei, who also retreated into the trench, looked dissatisfied at Qi Dajiu who didn't know when he came to him.
.
Qi Dajiu: "..."
Zhang Ergou usually pretends to be a civilized person like a dog, but he is actually not a good person. Only he knows his true face, so this guy completely let himself go in front of him, and he did not forget to harm himself at this time.
Two sentences.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm here to help you. Besides, the army doesn't belong to me. Even if I am honored, there are still people to command me, so you don't have to worry about it."
To be continued...
