Although he did not expect that cluster grenades could be used in this way, as a veteran Li He could see the principle at a glance. He tied the grenade to both ends of the leggings, and the middle leggings acted as a chain. As long as he threw it into the room, On the top, the leggings in the middle can be hung somewhere so that the grenade will not fall to the ground due to the shape of the roof.
Even if there is no direct hit, the power of the explosion of two grenades is not something that the tiles on the house can withstand. As long as the two grenades explode on the roof, the lethality produced will also have a considerable impact on the structure of the roof. It is very likely that it will not be able to withstand the damage caused by the Japanese machine gun fortifications and the soldiers above.
Therefore, even if the Japanese machine gun fortifications were not directly hit, the two grenades that exploded simultaneously on both sides of the roof were enough to render the Japanese machine gun fortifications useless. The feeling of falling from the roof was something I had experienced in similar training. Li He was quite touched.
He knows that such a high distance is not fatal, but there is no problem in knocking you unconscious. He does not believe that under this situation, even if one life is left within a short period of time, there is still a chance to continue fighting. Ability, and losing the commanding heights, so what if there is no problem with people and weapons.
Not to mention that this girl actually threw the grenades so accurately that she directly hung the leggings with two grenades on the sandbags of the Japanese machine gun fortification. But what he didn't understand was why she didn't have to stand up and squat on the ground to hide. The grenade can be thrown so far behind the object.
However, the subsequent development of the battle situation left him no time to ask why the grenade tied with leggings could be thrown so far after swinging it for a few times. He didn't even have to stand up. Since the obstacles in the way were eliminated, he didn't continue to throw the grenade at this moment. Internal Development So what are you waiting for? Fighter opportunities have always been fleeting. If you don't grasp it at this time, you would be a fool.
As long as this large courtyard is completely captured, the hundreds of Japanese troops in front of you can be firmly attracted. And what these hundreds of Japanese troops mean to the more than a thousand defenders of Tongliao City, even though they have to pay considerable casualties, But for the brother troops, it is a huge good thing.
At least when the brother troops attack in depth, the resistance will be much smaller. Although Li He is reluctant to sacrifice himself for others, he has no choice when he catches up and pays the price, but the jackpot is taken by others. , no one would be willing to change, but Li He still had a sense of the overall situation, and finally chose to carry this burden for the brothers to the end.
What makes Li He a little worried is that there has been no sound from the instructor's side. Except for the two small troops on the two wings around him, there is no gunfire at all on the instructor's circuitous and intersecting route. As a veteran, Li He knew very well that this was not normal.
Li He wanted to grab the walkie-talkie several times and ask the instructor what was going on, but in the end he chose to wait for a while. Even though the instructor did not have any combat experience and had poor grasp of the battle situation, the three Even the instructor is a veteran.
Although he has not served as a full-time military officer at the company level because of his somewhat soft style and temperament, he has served as a deputy company commander and main platoon leader and has rich practical experience. He still has the ability to judge the basic situation on the battlefield. As a As a veteran, he still possesses this military quality.
With his help, even if some problems are inevitable, major mistakes are still unlikely. After some hesitation, Li He finally decided to put the current main focus on the battle situation in front of him. Now that he has made up his mind, Then holding back the Japanese troops here is the fundamental thing. If you fail to kill the tiger but are injured by the tiger, then there is no need to say anything.
The assault on the Erdao Yard did not take much effort. After the two main fortification groups were knocked out one after another, the firepower support was lost, and the resistance of the Japanese army dropped a lot. The battle in the Erdao Yard did not take much effort. However, the attack on the last courtyard encountered desperate resistance from the Japanese army.
By the time we reach the Third Courtyard, the fighting space for both the enemy and us, whether they are attacking or defending, is already quite narrow. At this point, all techniques and tactics have become useless, except for a face-to-face fight to completely defeat one side. Except, there is no other solution.
At this time, both sides have no room for maneuver. The only competition is patience and firepower. Of course, in this case, the one who takes advantage is the Anti-Alliance. With individual firepower, the Anti-Alliance has the absolute advantage, and in this kind of close combat , whoever has more intensive individual firepower will have more advantages.
Perhaps they knew that after losing this fortress, their troops would be completely squeezed out of this key area. The Japanese army was fighting for almost every inch of land, and they were constantly bringing in new troops from the surrounding areas. Compared with the first two yards, In the battle, the third courtyard can be said to be a house-by-house fight.
Whenever the Anti-Japanese Alliance occupied a house or a small courtyard, the Japanese army immediately dispatched troops to fight back. Every house, every courtyard, even every wall, and every door had to go through repeated battles to determine its ownership. However, In this kind of close-range combat in a small space, the Anti-League automatic rifles have an advantage in firepower.
The Japanese Army's Type 38 rifle, Taisho 11-year-old light machine gun and Type 92 heavy machine gun are too bulky and long to operate in such a narrow space. In addition, the space is narrow and they can be deployed at once. Although the Japanese army had an absolute advantage in terms of total military strength, this advantage failed to translate into battlefield advantages.
As long as the key points of defense are lost, the relative strength of the troops is roughly the same, but the comparison of individual firepower is completely different. It will be difficult for the Japanese army to recapture it. Even if they can barely recapture it, the troops participating in the counterattack will be dead and wounded. Once the follow-up troops cannot keep up, the positions regained at considerable cost will be immediately recaptured by the Anti-Alliance.
However, the Japanese army resisted desperately and still had an absolute advantage in military strength. Li He, who had to face Japanese counterattacks from other directions and was almost surrounded on all sides, had an extremely difficult battle for the last courtyard. If it were not for his superiority, With the individual firepower and reasonable use of team tactics, it is even possible that the battle has not ended here, and the Japanese troops with superior strength are counterattacked in several other directions.
Even so, this battle was fraught with dangers. Of the four walls of this largest courtyard in Tongliao City, which consisted of three courtyards, except for one-third of the northern wall that was blown up by the Anti-Japanese Alliance themselves, there were still three-thirds left. Second, as the communication channel between the inside and outside of the courtyard, the south wall is also in the direction of the front of the large courtyard, because there is only one third left due to space issues.
The remaining east and west walls had been blown into ruins due to thorough Japanese counterattacks and repeated battles. Especially the east wall, which bore the brunt, was completely blown into piles of rubble by the Japanese counterattacks in order to fight for it. Open avenues for attack.
Concentrate superior forces in an attempt to attack from both sides with the defenders in the west courtyard, completely wiping out the anti-Japanese troops in front of them. They had rushed into the courtyard several times. If it were not for the anti-Union personnel with an automatic rifle and the squad machine gun carrying a large amount of ammunition, they could use the dense The crossfire drove the Japanese troops who rushed into the yard out again.
At this moment, the main force of Li He's troops had been deployed to the west. The consequences faced by Li He's troops would be unimaginable. Even so, dangers were everywhere during the battle. The Japanese army even forcibly killed the anti-alliance troops guarding a courtyard. Pressed to the junction of the first and second courtyards.
If a squad of Li He's men hadn't suddenly appeared from behind the Japanese army, I'm afraid it would have been really dangerous that time. And this squad that suddenly appeared was one of Li He's scattered troops that was lost in the Hutong District. This squad After the squad was separated from the main force, they wandered around the complicated alley area for a long time without finding the main force.
In the end, I took advantage of the intensive gunfire after the battle started here as a guide. Fortunately, although this squad was separated from the main force for a considerable period of time, it once brought a certain degree of manpower shortage to Li He's battle. , but arriving at this time was just the right time. It was this small unit that killed the Japanese army from behind, which alleviated the situation at that time. This is in line with the old saying that it is not too late to eat well.
In fact, after seizing two courtyards, ordinary people will usually suspend the attack, shrink their troops and wait for reinforcements when their manpower is insufficient. However, they think that since they have unintentionally taken over the heavy burden, then Li He, who was more thorough, did the opposite, biting the bullet and advancing instead of retreating. After leaving some troops to defend the first two courtyards, he launched an attack on the last courtyard to the west.
Although they have an advantage in individual firepower, the Japanese army is not an armed expatriate who lacks training after all. Their fighting will and military quality are absolutely first-class. Li He almost relied on hard squeeze bit by bit to defeat them. The Japanese army squeezed out from the third courtyard, and it was not until the sky was completely bright that they completely seized this crucial courtyard.
After repeated battles between the two sides, after the battle ended at dawn, there was no complete house in the entire Sandao courtyard. The previous, quite beautiful, Mongolian-style courtyard was forcibly reduced to ruins. This was both sides. The result was that no artillery fire was used to cover and support the operation.
Especially the Japanese army, no matter how fierce the battle was, they did not mobilize artillery support. This was undoubtedly a blessing for Li He who insisted on fighting this battle. If the Japanese army used artillery during the battle, then several firepower would cover it. After coming down, it is probably unknown whether he will be able to gather enough troops to defend this ruins.
Fully prepared for the battle, they did not know that some of the artillery positions deployed by the Japanese army in the gendarmerie and on the playground of the Hung Yen South Women's Industrial School in Puppet Manchukuo had been captured by the cavalry brigade advancing from south to north, and the remaining ones were deployed in Puppet Manchukuo. The artillerymen at Tongliao National School and Dongtailong Shaoguo Station did not dare to use them easily because of the insufficient number of shells.
But Li He, who was unaware of these situations, had been worried about the Japanese army's artillery support. Although this situation did not appear until he completely captured the three courtyards, Li He still ordered the troops to fight fiercely throughout the day and night. Be prepared for artillery fire. Even if some things don't happen, it's better to be prepared in advance. Don't wait for the artillery shell to really fall on your head, then it will be too late to regret it.
As for continuing to develop in depth, Li He has no idea at this time. Not to mention that the fatigue of the troops has reached the extreme, but also the casualties caused by the fierce battle last night have made him even if he has the intention to develop in depth at this moment, But it’s also quite powerless.
After a night of fierce fighting, with more than one-third of the casualties, Li He could only shrink the remaining troops, including an intensive squad stationed on the street, into these three courtyards to prepare to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. His strength is somewhat insufficient, and he has lost too much blood at this moment. He really no longer has the ability and good teeth to continue attacking in depth.
