Although Gao Shijie's subordinates were a little smaller, each of them had a Japanese submachine gun captured in the north of the village and a German original speed machine. The Japanese Jehol Independent Guards, in order to arm These plainclothes agents spent a lot of money, and now they all fell into the hands of the advancing army.
These weapons seem to be very sophisticated, but they are still looked down upon by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, especially the 100-style submachine guns, which weigh about the same as the automatic rifles in their hands, but the range and power are far behind. After the battle in Cunbei, Zhu Shijian didn't need any of these captured weapons, and they were all given to the advancing army. However, although Gao Shijie's men were not weak in firepower at the moment, their strength was still too small. To really solve the problem, Zhu Shijian and his troops were needed. subordinates.
In this kind of close combat and street fighting, pure fighting will cannot play a decisive role, especially in the current situation where the main wills of the two sides participating in the war are almost the same. Whoever has stronger firepower and higher tactical literacy will win. Taking advantage. In this kind of close combat, the troops participating in the battle undoubtedly have faster-firing weapons, which gives them an even greater advantage.
After the reinforcements rushed into the village, they used intensive firepower and highly professional tactics. Not long after they rushed into the west of the village, they disrupted the order of battle of the Japanese and puppet troops who had already invaded the village, causing them to lose their unified The Japanese army, with their consistent tactical skills, although they lost their command, were still under the command of Commander Cao, and reluctantly accepted the challenge. The Japanese and puppet troops, who originally had the upper hand, were defeated in the blink of an eye. Lost its original advantages.
As for the performance of those plainclothes teams whose willpower and combat effectiveness were quite poor, they were more than one level behind the Japanese army. They were defeated not long after falling into the melee. The Japanese army still maintained its overall integrity with some parts, and those who were tightly controlled by the Japanese army. Compared with the puppet Manchukuo army, they first fell into chaos and were driven around like a group of headless flies.
Although the number of Japanese and puppet troops in the west of the village is large, their combat effectiveness and military strength cannot be compared with the Japanese and puppet troops in the north of the village who just fought against Zhu Shijian. However, these Japanese and puppet troops in front of them seem to have received certain professional training. They were trained, and their weapon configuration was better at village warfare. However, the first collapse of the plainclothes team only exacerbated the chaos of the Japanese and puppet troops themselves.
When the reserve team originally assembled in the village saw that reinforcements from the Anti-Japanese Alliance troops in the west of the village had arrived, and the organization of the Japanese and puppet troops had been disrupted, they immediately seized the opportunity to mobilize a platoon of troops as quickly as possible to fight against the Anti-Japanese Alliance forces. With the cooperation of two armored vehicles dispatched, they launched a counterattack against the Japanese and puppet troops who had penetrated into the village.
It's just that except for the main traffic road in and out of the east of the village, the other dirt roads in the village are not wide. The armored vehicles coming in as reinforcements cannot get close to the main battlefield in the west of the village. They can only use the 37mm artillery and machine guns equipped on the vehicles to defend the west of the village. The defenders provide long-distance fire support.
After the anti-resistance reinforcements behind the Japanese and puppet troops came over, the artillery on the vehicle could only provide precise strikes according to the requirements of the defenders in front, but could not implement fire interception to prevent accidental damage. However, the thirty-seven guns on the vehicle The millimeter artillery, with its accurate direct firepower, destroyed many light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese and puppet troops, providing effective fire suppression for the frontline troops.
At this time, the situation around the entire village was that the troops in the east of the village, with the cooperation of the machine guns and armored vehicles strengthened by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, relied on the favorable terrain to hold on, and used firepower to kill the Japanese and puppet troops who attacked more fiercely after the gunfire sounded in the west of the village. In the west of the village, there was a chaotic fight.
A platoon of troops originally defending the advancing army in the west of the village still stubbornly blocked two Japanese squads who continued to attack the village despite being attacked from behind. Behind these two Japanese squads, reinforcements However, they rushed their follow-up troops into a mess, and they were constantly encircling and annihilating them. On the battlefield in the west of the village, a situation was formed where you are surrounded by me, and you are surrounded by me.
At this time, it can be seen that although there may be a certain gap between the advancing army and the Anti-Japanese Army in terms of tactical literacy, its overall quality is extremely high. Although the previous battle in the north of the village is added, the entire village can be said to be in a battle, with guns There was a loud noise, but under this situation, there was still no confusion among the troops in the village.
Under the unified command and coordination of their superiors, they responded calmly. No one panicked. Even the departments that were not involved did not have any abnormalities in their work. They did what they should do. The radio station that contacted the outside world, Still no interruption occurred.
Of course, the location of the headquarters did not receive any shelling. Yasuhiro Takada also played a certain role in this. I don’t know if this guy was to get more useful information, or to capture the most senior commander of the advancing army, and to capture more There are many big fish. Perhaps it is very tempting for him to take away a high-level headquarters of the enemy and accomplish something that the entire North China Front has failed to do.
Of course, maybe he thinks that the combat effectiveness of his subordinates is better than that of the advancing army. The combat capabilities, tactical literacy, and weapons and equipment are also far superior. Even if the opponent does not interrupt contact with the outside world, he can still get ahead of the reinforcements of the advancing army. The entire battle is over, and these prisoners can be transferred smoothly.
Therefore, after the full-scale firing in the east and north directions, although we had artillery in our hands, we were strictly prohibited from firing into the village, especially towards the place where the radio antenna was set up. Even though we later suffered a big loss and lost our minds, , and artillery was only allowed to fire at the outer positions of the defenders.
Perhaps in his opinion, killing all the personnel of the China Army High Command in the village would not be of any benefit to him. For the most senior generals responsible for commanding operations, death is not as valuable as life. , and the code of the telegraph room is also one of the vital information for the entire campaign. If these things are shot down, nothing will be lost.
A guy with over-inflated self-confidence, a greedy guy who wants everything, will often end up either being starved to death or getting nothing. His greed can be said to have given up the best opportunity and ruined it. He realized his dream of finally establishing a successful career.
Although he said that even if he ordered the bombardment, the evacuated headquarters over there would not suffer any damage. Most of the radio stations and codes had been transferred to Yang Zhen's communication vehicle at this time, even if the telegraph room was next to several There won't be much loss in the artillery.
In short, no matter what this guy thinks, no matter where his starting point is, his artillery has never fired at the general headquarters station. This is an indisputable fact. This guy's help also allows Yang Zhen and others to help. As he advanced to the top, he undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, if the location of the headquarters is bombarded, even if there are no casualties, it will greatly reduce the morale of the troops. In this way, it will give the enemy troops who are besieged on three sides a huge opportunity to take advantage of it. The puppet troops had artillery in their hands, but they did not bombard the location of the headquarters, which undoubtedly reduced the ideological burden on the troops.
There was a fierce battle here, but at the headquarters over there, the two old commanders and Yang Zhen did not affect their conversation because of the fierce battle outside the village. Of course, in addition to the location of the conversation, the house was changed to a relatively safe area. Other than that, a few people were very calm and seemed not to have heard the fierce fighting outside the village.
Even in their spare time, several leaders can keep close contact with the battle situation ahead through telephones and wireless walkie-talkies. They can even occasionally raise telescopes to directly observe the battles in the west of the village closest to them, where the battles are closest to the headquarters. , of course, the most careful observation.
Although this opportunity was not very large despite the desperate efforts of the security forces who were afraid that these leaders would appear in danger, it was still enough for the leaders of the advancing army to make a detailed judgment on the tactical qualities of the two troops. , who are these two old commanders? They have already led troops to fight, so Yang Zhen might as well be wearing crotchless pants.
Although there was not much time, they still made accurate judgments. When Zhu Shijian led his troops and rushed into the west of the village, the two veterans looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Not counting weapons and equipment, the two armies' tactics and quality were far behind.
Our own troops are brave, and none of the participating troops flinched. However, in this kind of close-range village and street fighting, there are almost no tactics except blindly punching and charging, but the Anti-Union Army The troops were superior in terms of firepower and tactics during the battle.
Although it seems that the troops are used more scatteredly, the combat efficiency is much higher than that of their own troops, especially in battles. The high efficiency and always cross-configured firepower surprised the two veterans in particular. The two old commanders, who were fascinated by the situation, finally ignored the obstruction of the guards around them and ran to the front line to watch the battle in person.
Compared with the orderly battle in the east of the village, the two veterans watched the battle in the west of the village very carefully. They even included all the combat staff officers currently at the headquarters, more than a dozen deputy regimental commanders and a group of battalion commanders who were studying at the party school with the army. All the company's reserve cadres were mobilized to watch the battle. Although there were not so many telescopes, the distance was not far, and the troops participating in the battle in the second village were clearly distinguishable, and they could be seen clearly without telescopes.
Instead of judging from the weapons in their hands, judging only from the military uniforms, one can easily tell that the two troops with different structures are fighting fiercely in the west of the village. The troops who came for reinforcements from the Anti-Japanese Alliance are all wearing legal steel helmets on their heads and grass on their bodies. The green military uniform has a badge on the chest in addition to the armbands.
As for the troops advancing to the west of the village, because they came from the Taihang Military Region, they were all in gray cloth military uniforms. They only wore ordinary cloth caps on their heads. The military uniforms on their bodies were different. It was easy to tell which troop was from No matter what organization, from a distance of less than 200 meters, you can tell which unit is the Anti-Union Army and which unit is the advancing army without using a telescope.
The old commander is very strict with his requirements. Although he is only watching from the side at the moment, after the battle is over, everyone who comes to watch the battle is required to write a review. They are not allowed to hire ghostwriters and can only write it themselves. Therefore, the cadres who were asked to come to watch the battle watched carefully, fearing that they would make any omissions.
