The 173rd chapter beacon fire group policy mountain (5)
Although the headquarters of the Japanese Army's 44th Regiment was captured, Sima Feng did not feel any joy in his heart. [.Com text] He almost suffered casualties from his subordinates, which made him hate his carelessness. It was just a change in form that did not give him time to feel sad.
A soldier on guard shouted from outside the tent: "Company commander, the Japanese have begun to counterattack. There is about a squadron of troops, and there are infantry artillery and heavy machine guns for cover."
As if to verify the soldier's words, as soon as he finished speaking, several artillery shells fell around the former 44th Regiment headquarters. With the explosion of this artillery shell, more artillery shells came over and fell one after another.
The gas generated by the explosion of the shell almost blew away the tent.
Hearing the violent explosions of artillery shells around him from time to time, Sima Feng ignored the gauze that had not been wrapped around his arm, picked up the submachine gun and walked out. But before he could take two steps, he suddenly stopped and followed him.
The correspondent thrust the seized code book into his arms: "Go back immediately, report the situation here to the leader, and give him this code book."
The correspondent who had been following Sima Feng since he became the company commander looked at the code book that was handed over to him. When he heard that Sima Feng wanted him to withdraw first, he shook his head vigorously and said: "Company Commander, I won't leave.
I'm with you. The instructor and deputy company commander have died, and so many brothers in the whole company have died. You stay here to avenge them, and I won't leave."
Seeing that his young correspondent refused to leave, Sima Feng said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know how important this code book is? Isn't this what we came in for? If we don't send it away,
, Didn’t those comrades sacrifice their lives in vain? You are young, short, and have small goals. Who else will you give this code book to if you don’t give it to me?"
Speaking of this, Sima Feng softened his tone again when he saw this correspondent who was already dying from cold and hunger when he was picked up by him on the march. He had been following him since he was rescued. Although he had already been in the army for half a year
He is a veteran, but he is only sixteen years old after all, and is still a half-grown child. If his parents were both here, I am afraid he would not have gone to the battlefield so early if he was still studying at this age.
The main force is still fighting fiercely with the Japanese army from behind. I don’t know when the Japanese army will be defeated. Now that I have broken into the Japanese defense line, I am fighting alone. There are a squadron of Japanese soldiers coming, but I have some minor injuries around me who can still move.
There are only about twenty people left.
Comparing the two sides, there is a huge disparity in both military strength and firepower. If the main force cannot be reinforced within a short period of time, I am afraid that I and this small force will all die here. He used the captured code book as an excuse to let this person
The young correspondent went back first because he was still young and had a long way to go, so he shouldn't be sacrificed here.
Thinking of this, Sima Feng touched the correspondent who burst into tears when he heard that the company commander insisted on driving him away. After stuffing the code book into the arms of his military uniform, he helped him fasten the buttons. Wait.
After doing all this, he sighed and said: "You are now a soldier and you must obey orders. Besides, the main force has already reached behind you. Reinforcements can come up just by talking. We are just here to contain this Japanese army. We will not
What's the big deal?"
"This codebook is very important for the leader to direct the next operation, so it must be sent back in advance. You must ensure that this codebook is safely handed over to the leader. I gave you the task because I trust you, not because of it.
I'll drive you away. If you're worried about us, you can just follow us after the main force comes in. Go ahead and remember that even if you crawl, you have to deliver it safely to the group leader."
Although he still couldn't bear to be separated from the company commander, under Sima Feng's persuasion, the correspondent, who also knew the importance of this code, finally raised his head and said with tears: "Don't worry, company commander, I will definitely send this code to you."
It's in the hands of the leader. You must wait for me."
Hearing his childish words, Sima Feng patted his shoulder and smiled bitterly, then pushed him out of the tent and said to him: "Go quickly. Your brothers and I will wait here for you to come back."
Don't worry, if you don't come, we won't go there. On the way back, especially when passing through the battlefield, you must be careful and keep your eyes sharp to avoid being injured by stray bullets. Also, the two armies are now at war with each other.
, be careful not to let the Japanese capture you."
After that, Sima Feng picked up his submachine gun and walked without looking back to his brothers who were using several large rocks outside the Japanese headquarters as a cover to block the Japanese counterattack.
Looking at the Japanese troops getting closer and closer, Sima Feng looked back at the correspondent who was running back quickly along the route he rushed in, and then turned to the brothers beside him and said: "Put the Japs in the rifle."
, no shooting is allowed from a distance of less than 50 meters. The grenade launcher must knock out the Japanese light machine guns, and aim the rifle at their officers. Everyone must save bullets."
Everyone was a veteran who had fought at least one battle, and everyone knew Sima Feng's orders, so no one had any objections. Only a guard lying next to Sima Feng and the machine gunner assigned to him looked at the enemy's formation.
, formed a dense line of skirmishers, and said with some confusion: "I say Company Commander Sima, the energy of this little devil is not right."
"Even if we knock out their headquarters, we won't be so crazy. The skirmishers are densely packed, and good marksmanship can kill them with one shot. The little devils are very particular about tactics. Unless they are in a critical moment, they are not
We have created such a dense skirmish line. Now that we have this formation, we will probably have to fight tooth and nail."
Sima Feng also noticed the abnormality of the Japs in front of him. But he didn't pay much attention to it. No matter how many Japanese troops came and what formation they put in, they would still fight. Since they had to fight, why did they care about it? Besides,
, wouldn’t it be better if the Japs’ skirmisher lines are arranged more closely? They can just use the power of the submachine guns they have on hand.
These veterans were not wrong in their judgment. After the headquarters was destroyed, it can be said that Tsutsutarou Kawama, who had fled, was really desperate. Although Tsutsutarou Kawama had already escaped, he lost the headquarters, but he had no idea of desperate efforts.
If the headquarters is lost, just find another place to reset it. When the troops have been used to the extreme, he will not adjust his overall deployment for a small force of more than 20 or 30 people.
But when the report from the wing staff officer, who was the only one who was left to block and cover his breakout and came back alive, covered in blood, almost made him faint on the spot. Radio, password, field telephone exchange, not a single one
He didn't snatch it out. In other words, he lost all the communication tools with his superiors and subordinates.
Without the radio and password, I became completely blind and deaf. I couldn't contact the 3rd Cavalry Brigade or the Lin Fang detachment. I couldn't request support, and I couldn't get any combat guidance. The infantry brigade
Although they have their own radio stations, they are too low-power to communicate over long distances, and there is no password between them.
And after losing the field telephone switch, the field telephones became useless. The opponent did not even need to cut off his own telephone lines, and all his field telephones were scrapped. Kawama Tsutsuki Taro sadly discovered that except for the last squadron around him,
, has become a polished commander.
As the captain of the Colonel Corps, he knew better that the loss of the code book did not simply mean that he had lost contact with the outside world and his subordinates. Once these codes fell into the hands of the anti-Manchu armed forces, they would bring fatal consequences to himself and his friendly forces.
Danger.
He realized that if he did not recapture the headquarters, the code book and the field telephone exchange as soon as possible, he would lose all contact with the outside world and even his own troops. He became even more aware that this code book involved communication with the Fourth Division of Jiamusi and the surrounding friendly forces.
Tsutsutarou Kawama, who was originally in danger of losing his life, no longer cared about the way out.
After waking up from the blow, he immediately concentrated all the troops he could and put the last squadron at hand into the battle. He also strictly ordered the squadron leader to retrieve the code as quickly as possible.
In order to regain the code book as soon as possible, Tsutsutaro Kawama made a desperate move. In addition to concentrating all the troops he could, he also put the only two infantry cannons that survived the intensive artillery fire at the beginning of the war with his opponent into the battle.
He was strictly ordered to retake the squadron leader who lost the headquarters within fifteen minutes. Although he complained a little about the commander's blind command. He dared to think of retaking the headquarters in fifteen minutes. If the other party is so easy to manipulate, you Hejian
How come Colonel Tsutsumi Taro is being chased like a rabbit to my place?
He just complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it at all. In order to complete the tasks assigned by Colonel Hejian as soon as possible, the squadron leader who had been deployed at the end of the entire regiment's combat sequence and had not seen the previous battles.
Simply adopt the Japanese army's usual pig attack tactic from the very beginning. Try to use multiple echelons and multiple batches of attacks in turn to break through the opponent's blockage as soon as possible.
This tactic is a tactic used by the Japanese army when fighting in the pass to deal with the anti-Japanese armed forces who can only use rifles as their main weapons after the light and heavy machine guns are destroyed by Japanese aircraft, artillery or grenades. Rifles have a slow rate of fire and need to be fired once.
One bullet. Without the support of automatic firepower, relying solely on rifle volleys would not be able to withstand the Japanese tactics.
In particular, regardless of whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the Communist Party, except for a few elite troops, the rifles used by many troops are crudely made. Especially the home-made rifles equipped by the unknown brands, many of which have a range of only one to two hundred meters, and the accuracy is also poor. Therefore,
In the past, when fighting within the pass, the use of this tactic often achieved great results.
What the squadron leader didn't expect was that although his opponents were few in number, except for a few original Czech-made rifles, they were all equipped with submachine guns with extremely fast firing rates. To deal with such opponents, use this kind of killing method.
Even if the tactic of 1,000 enemies and 800 self-inflicted losses can achieve certain results, this number of casualties may not be something that the current Japanese army can afford.
Sure enough, before the Japanese squadron leader saw that the first wave of attacking troops had rushed to a distance of less than fifty meters from the enemy, a smile burst out on his face. The opposite side was so quiet that he almost thought that there was no one in the position.
Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire.
Accompanied by this intensive gunfire, a large number of flames erupted from the enemy's position. His first wave of impact troops were beaten to pieces, with casualties and casualties everywhere. The opponent's grenade fired at almost the same time,
Two light machine guns and one heavy machine gun serving as cover were blown up into the sky almost at the same time. The few rifles that fired extremely accurately killed and wounded the grenade hand who tried to use grenade to drive it out of the cover.
Tired.
The first wave of skirmishers that launched the attack was defeated so quickly, but it did not discourage the Japanese army. The second wave of skirmishers did not hesitate at all and continued to attack tenaciously across the corpses and wounded soldiers. These experienced soldiers
Japanese veterans who trained know that the only way to avoid damage from these extremely fast-firing weapons is to rush in as quickly as possible while the opponent is changing magazines.
They know that the faster the weapon fires, the more bullets it consumes. Following the first wave of Japanese troops, they saw that their opponents had been firing intensively for a while, and they had already exhausted the bullets in the strange-looking weapons in their hands. If they didn't
If you take this opportunity to rush forward, your comrade lying on the ground will be a lesson to you.
The Japanese army had a good idea, but unfortunately the opponents in front of them did not intend to give them this opportunity. Just when the Japanese army launched the second wave of attacks, they tried to take advantage of the opportunity when their weapons and bullets were exhausted and the opponent was changing their magazines to rush into the enemy's position.
At that moment, the opponent's position was hit with a dense volley of explosive grenades.
The results of the second wave of Japanese troops were even worse than the previous wave. A whole squad of Japanese soldiers had reached the edge of the opponent's position, but were seriously injured by the opponent's grenades that exploded in the air. Even many people were seriously injured.
They were all blown up like hedgehogs, with shrapnel all over their bodies.
Many Japanese soldiers could not figure out until their death why even they, who had used the same grenades since they were soldiers, often couldn't figure out when the Imperial Army's standard Type 97 grenades exploded in the hands of their opponents.
An explosion in the air?
The distance of fifty meters is the optimal firepower range of submachine guns. Under the firepower network composed of more than a dozen submachine guns, a light machine gun, and a large number of volleying explosive grenades, the first attack launched by the Japanese army failed even one
There was no splash of water, and it disappeared without a trace. Only the wounded soldiers who had not been evacuated were left lying on the ground groaning.
The Japanese army lost the first attack in a confused and even unclear manner, and the casualties were not small. In two waves of attacks, almost one and a half squadrons were lost, which was really unacceptable to the Japanese squadron leader who launched the attack.
.According to his thinking, with this number of casualties, at least one battalion of the opponent's defense can be defeated on the battlefield inside the pass.
Now, he was facing such a heavy casualty against an opponent who, judging from the sound of gunshots, only had more than 20 people. This result was really hard for him to accept. The opponent was just an army without a rear, and all supplies could only rely on captured anti-Manchu armed forces.
How come the Chinese regular army has automatic firearms that are not even equipped with the Imperial Army?
After all, he was an officer who had participated in the Battle of Songhu and was well-informed. Although the weapon in his opponent's hand had a strange shape and he had never seen it before, he could tell at a glance that the weapon in his opponent's hand should be similar to the so-called fancy weapons equipped by the Kannai China army.
Machine guns are similar, they are all the same type of weapons.
The Japanese commander could not figure out why Sima Feng had what he considered to be a large number of submachine guns in his hand, but he did not know that the opponent who had repelled his first attack was troubled by the fact that the ammunition in the previous battle had been basically exhausted.
A submachine gun with a fast rate of fire and powerful firepower is indeed a powerful weapon in close combat, but it also consumes a lot of ammunition. Among the soldiers who rushed in with Sima Feng, each of them carried a submachine gun in addition to the magazine that came with the gun itself.
Three spare magazines. Based on the fact that one magazine holds thirty rounds, the total of four magazines is one hundred and twenty rounds.
If you use a manual rifle, one hundred and twenty rounds of ammunition are enough for one day. If you save some money, you can even use it for two to three days. But for a submachine gun as a rapid-fire weapon, these ammunition are not enough to fight a medium-sized battle.
In the battle, especially the anti-PPSH 43 submachine gun that Sima Feng and his men are now holding, which uses Mauser 7.63mm pistol bullets, the ammunition consumption is particularly large.
When Yang Zhen copied this weapon, he almost copied it from the original without making any changes. But he forgot that this submachine gun, which was designed as a wartime emergency product, canceled the burst firing function in order to facilitate mass production.
The setting can only fire bursts. In other words, once you pull the trigger with your finger, the shooting will not stop at all as long as you don't let go. The shooting method can only be adjusted by yourself.
In order to break through the Japanese blockade with minimal casualties, both Sima Feng and his subordinates almost always pulled the trigger to the end when they came into contact with the enemy. With more than a hundred bullets in four magazines, a few times could only be considered small fires at best.
All large-scale battles were eliminated.
When the Japanese army launched a counterattack, Sima Feng and his men had less than one magazine left in each gun on average. And due to the heavy use of grenades before, on average each person only had one magazine.
