Chapter 113: Celestial People’s Military Technology
The battalion commander left Wang Chengzhu behind to prepare for battle with the commanders and fighters of the first company, and took the messenger back to the battalion command post at the second-line position.
Generally speaking, line trench warfare uses companies and platoons as the basic units to attack and defend each other. Since the advent of rapid-fire cannons and machine guns, intensive charges have basically withdrawn from the stage of history.
However, to be honest, during Japan's invasion of China, except for the massing of heavy troops for battles or the defense of city clusters, the battles between the two sides can only be described as "scarce".
The Rising Sun Kingdom is located on the East China Sea and has a relative shortage of coal and iron resources, so it has few tank weapons and large-caliber artillery equipment. Most of its limited resources are invested in the navy to build a huge fleet as the capital to dominate the region. There is a fleet
Only by guaranteeing the bottom line can the Army have the opportunity to land in China and continue to expand the fruits of its aggression.
It's just that China is an agricultural country, and Japan is an industrial country, so it's okay to treat China as a dumping market. They personally invaded and occupied China, and used looting to plunder the surplus food accumulated in this land for many years, and only got the assets that had been destroyed by the war.
If you want to continue to plunder resources, you must support agents to manage the occupied areas so that there will be a steady stream of output.
It is ridiculous to say that economic plunder in enemy-occupied areas actually requires secondary construction. In order to obtain sustained output, the invaders have to spend resources on investment.
It's just that the resources of the Sun Kingdom are limited, and the relatively limited number of citizens can support a limited number of troops. In order to maintain the occupation and expand the results of the war, it has established B, C and D troops that far exceed the main divisions.
The weapons and equipment of non-main divisions have a relatively low priority. Coupled with the influence and restrictions of various reasons, the equipment level of the enemy personnel sent to mop up is far inferior to that of the soldiers from the same country during the Bingzhou battle two years ago.
Someone once jokingly said, "The Empire does not despise the cost of raising an army in peacetime, but also despises the lack of ships during war, so it decommissions its warships after the war."
The superpowers have their own national conditions here, while the second-rate regional powers each have their own characteristics. Shengyang and Shenzhou struggled with the war of aggression and anti-aggression, and formed more and more troops to participate in the battle. In the hope of wearing out the other side and standing still
On the opponent's body, have a full meal before setting off.
In this way, the B Division of the North China Occupation Army was stationed along railways, roads and county strongholds, like sprinkling pepper noodles to protect the occupied areas that were difficult to fully take care of. In order to maintain the security of the occupied areas and combat organized resistance forces,
These invaders had to regularly raid the vicinity of communication lines in units of regiments or brigades.
An important reason for the scale of such a militarized organization is that it has experienced several ambush battles organized by the 18th Group Army. When fighting with less than a thousand people and veterans of hundreds of battles, there is a risk of being defeated or annihilated before support arrives. This invading force that walked out of the fog barrier and smoke screen area deployed by Wang Chengzhu used an infantry brigade as its main combat force and mobilized an infantry regiment of the pseudo-security army to cooperate with the mopping up operations.
The pathfinder soldiers stop and go in front of the ambush position. This is a combat strategy based on cost accounting. The invaders use a small number of troops to explore the situation on both sides of the road. When they encounter stragglers who cannot calm down, they can successfully attack the large troops.
Prove the location; the ambush party will let a small number of enemy troops pass by with experience, just to wait for the enemy in large groups to become careless and walk into the ambush circle.
The war has lasted for many years. The anti-aggression war in North China usually starts with the War of Resistance at the Great Wall of Jehol. Both sides of the war have paid a price in many aspects such as human, material and financial resources. The war consumes social wealth the most.
The situation of the soldiers of the Rising Sun Kingdom is relatively good. After all, there is an industrial country behind it. Even if it is a bandit imperialist country, it can at least give its soldiers sixty rounds of rifle bullets.
In China, where the overall level is still in an agricultural society, the actual situation of military equipment is mainly to buy, with counterfeiting and repair as supplement. When fighting with the enemy, three to five rounds of bullets are fired, grenade charge and hand-to-hand combat are more common battles.
Mode. The guns and ammunition held by soldiers have been used for many years, and careful maintenance cannot withstand wear and tear, and their accuracy has declined.
There are a considerable number of rifles that have expired and cannot meet the design standards. Commanders often order troops to move closer to 200 meters before shooting. On the one hand, they consider saving ammunition and accurate shooting, and on the other hand, shortening the charging distance of their own soldiers.
This time the ambush battle still relies on the hillside terrain to build positions and lay mines on the sandy roads. When the vanguard team tracking the enemy passes through the killing range of the minefield, the squad leader who laid the mines orders the soldiers to hold back their mood and enlarge the enemy troops.
Come here, sound the mines again, and discipline them to become a burden on the battlefield.
These pathfinding soldiers did not have mine detectors and did not find camouflaged mines. After walking out of the ambush position, they returned to the main force to report on the pathfinding situation. When the new group of pathfinding soldiers took over the task and continued to move forward, the enemy troops
The large group of people finally entered the minefield in a relatively orderly queue.
"Boom boom..." Seeing the enemy walking into the designed killing range of the mine, the mine operator quickly pulled the straightened rope ring. The essence of mine warfare lies in the human-controlled "pull mine", but it is limited by the rope.
It needs to be straightened to detonate quickly. Often, the detonator needs to hide on the spot and wait for the right opportunity more than ten meters away, which is called dangerous work.
As soon as the mines rang out, several soldiers with 38-type infantry muskets opened fire one after another. First, they took advantage of the chaos to attack and effectively killed the enemy; second, they caused a little confusion for the enemy, which helped our own mine operators to evacuate; third, they were the first to attack.
Shoot to show weakness to the enemy, lure the enemy to fire back at the location of the gunshot, or even rush up the hillside to vent their anger.
Looking at the enemies who were organizing a counterattack on the road below the hillside position, Wang Chengzhu had a mocking smile on his face. Since you are willing to be the invaders and accomplices of the invaders, then eradicating evil is my attitude.
