A few junior Korean officers who were eager to show off in front of their masters wanted to take advantage of the defeat of the Anti-Union forces in front of them to launch a counterattack, trying to completely defeat the small Anti-Union force in front of them. However, they were scolded by their squadron leader.
, I was so beaten that I didn’t dare to speak.
For this squadron leader, no matter what the real purpose of these anti-Japanese troops is, since just holding Xinyuan is a great achievement, why bother to fight those desperadoes? No matter whether their defeat is real or fake
No matter what, you can't escape from the current group of bunkers anyway.
Anyway, they don't have artillery, and there's nothing they can do about it. If they don't mind using people to pile up, then they won't be happy about it. When the time comes, as soon as these anti-union corpses are sent up, they will definitely be promoted. After all, it can be regarded as a victory.
? As for how many of the incoming Resistance Alliance troops there are, it’s not up to you to say how many there are?
These bunkers built by the Japanese army along the Zhongchang Railway were arranged in a cross pattern, with almost no shooting dead spots around them. And between each bunker, there were traffic trenches protected by barbed wire. Xinyuan, a small village in the southeast of Fuyu, because of its close proximity
The medium and long railway lines were arranged like iron barrels by the Japanese army.
Like the Sancha River, the Xinyuan line is a plain terrain. Although the Japanese army only deployed one railway police squadron belonging to the Puppet Manchukuo army in Xinyuan, it relied on its relatively sophisticated equipment and solid permanent equipment.
If the artillery fails to keep up with the fortifications, if the attacking party wants to break through with light weapons alone, the price will be quite high.
The Japanese army had extremely strict quality requirements for the construction of fortifications, and they were willing to sacrifice work and materials without cutting corners. Even in later generations, these numerous large and small bunker groups scattered along the Northeast Railway have experienced decades of
The wind and rain are still strong.
Even with the help of modern construction machinery, demolition is not an easy task. Compared with those shoddy projects in later generations that could be shaken even by a heavy-duty truck, it is much sturdier. Without the right guy in hand,
It is difficult to destroy it in a short time by explosive blasting alone.
Fortunately, the commander of the first battalion was a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War. Years of guerrilla life, coupled with the fact that the density of the Northeast Railway lines was much higher than anywhere else in the country, made him very familiar with the layout of the Kwantung Army's fortifications along the railway.
.I know that the Japanese army built a large number of reinforced concrete fortifications along the Northeast Railway in order to protect the railway and avoid attacks by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Once upon a time, these various bunker fortifications built by the Japanese army along the railway lines once brought considerable difficulties to their guerrilla warfare. Every time they crossed these railways, the price paid was quite huge. Even many action plans were
Due to the lack of firepower, they were unable to deal with these bunker groups scattered along all the railways in the Northeast and failed.
As for now, although you no longer have to worry about these bunkers becoming your own obstacles, once you encounter the Japanese and puppet troops, whether these reinforced concrete fortifications can be solved in the shortest time will often have a decisive impact on the progress of the battle. Especially now,
Only by removing the obstacles in front of you can you open the passage south.
Because he knew that the current Kwantung Army no longer had the arrogance of the year before. As for the puppet Manchukuo military and police, they were frightened out of their courage. Unless there were new reinforcements, they would not easily be able to escape the cover of the existing fortifications.
He was involved in an encounter with him. Therefore, he had the foresight to strengthen the leading company he led with two 57mm recoilless rifles.
In order to carry these two 57mm recoilless rifles, he even lost the battalion's large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns to the follow-up troops. This is the difference between veterans from the Anti-Japanese Alliance and cadres transferred from the pass. In the Northeast
Having conducted guerrilla warfare for many years, they were quite familiar with the tactics and tactics of the Kwantung Army and the puppet Manchukuo garrison.
At this time, the two battalion commanders ignored the persuasion of others and insisted on bringing the 57mm recoilless rifles and rocket launchers. They played an extremely critical role in facing the Japanese railway garrison. They watched fire everywhere in front of them.
After his opponent saw through the Puppet Manchukuo police machine gun position, his attempt to lure the enemy out and eliminate them was seen through by the opponent. Knowing that he had little time, the first battalion commander also acted neatly and directly advanced the two battalion recoilless rifles he carried.
From this guy's point of view, I don't have time to delay with you now, let alone play with you. Aren't you bullying me as a light infantry with no means of attacking difficulties? I will now let you see what the current anti-Japanese light infantry has.
What does it look like? Today I will let you taste the power of the recoilless rifle and see if I can break open these hard walnuts like you without a strong attack.
As for the Puppet Manchukuo military and police who cling to the bunkers and the fortifications they consider to be strong, after all, they are in the rear and the combat targets are different. No matter how strong these bunkers are built, their bullet resistance is quite limited. Compared with the Japanese army,
Compared with the permanent fortification groups built along the Manchu-Soviet border, the bulletproof performance of these bunkers along the railway is much worse.
If his opponent is light infantry, it is indeed a pile of hard walnuts that are hard to bite. But facing an army armed to the teeth, the trouble these bunkers can cause is very limited. And when these bunkers were originally built, they were just for
To prevent anti-Japanese armed forces from attacking railway lines, it can only prevent light fire strikes, and its artillery protection capabilities are very limited.
Because when the Kwantung Army built these bunkers, they never thought that the Anti-Japanese Federation, which did not even have a single artillery piece and even insufficient ammunition, had grown to its current level. Not only was it equipped with a complete set of light and heavy artillery, it even had
I didn't even think about tanks and airplanes. I never thought about the recoilless rifle, an extremely light anti-armor and anti-fortification weapon that can be fired by just one person.
Although we now know that the weapons and equipment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance are no longer what they used to be, the Kwantung Army can only put all its limited resources on the front line due to the intense fighting on the front line. For the construction and repair of these deep fortifications, adjustments are not possible at all.
Not on the agenda.
Looking at the bunkers spouting fire in front of him, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of the battalion commander's mouth. With a wave of his hand, several recoilless gunners behind him immediately carried the artillery, using the terrain and the cover of the machine guns behind them to quickly approach the bunker group.
.In order to achieve maximum power, these gunners still have to get as close to the bunker as possible.
In order to cover the two recoilless rifles from firing as close as possible, the battalion commander concentrated all the machine guns and cooperated with the rocket launchers to block the perforations of the bunker groups in front of him. Two company general-purpose machine guns plus nine squad machine guns,
Intense firepower hit these bunkers and cracked the earth and rocks outside the shooting holes.
In this type of shooting situation, although the Type 11 light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns inside have solid fortifications to rely on, it does not mean that the shooting holes of these machine guns also have protective functions. Several
Although the company's general-purpose machine gun and the nine squad machine guns cannot completely suppress the fire net spraying outward from the bunker, it can temporarily stop these fire nets and create opportunities for the forward recoilless rifle.
Although the same three rocket launchers participating in the suppression cannot completely destroy these bunkers, they can still suppress the shooting holes of the enemy bunker groups in conjunction with the machine guns. As long as these rocket launchers are fired more accurately, they will bring more damage to the machine guns in the bunkers.
The harm is far greater than that of a machine gun.
And these rocket launchers that can be carried around by one person, and fired from place to place during the battle, make the Puppet Manchukuo railway police forces in the bunker equipped with Type 92 heavy-duty missiles with large range and extremely high accuracy.
machine gun, but there was nothing he could do. Instead, the rockets fired by his opponent destroyed two of the three Type 92 heavy machine guns.
Two heavy machine guns were blown up. Although the Taisho 11-year-old light machine gun provided cover, it was no match for the opponent's machine gun in the exchange of fire. Several shooting holes were blocked. The machine gunner replaced one,
One of them was killed. Within a few minutes, several light machine guns were silenced.
Two of the three heavy machine guns, plus several light machine guns, suffered heavy casualties as the machine gunners were hit. For a while, the suppressive firepower fired from the bunker was greatly reduced. The so-called railway police in the bunker could only watch.
He looked at the opponent who had penetrated very close to him, carrying that strange iron barrel that looked like an artillery gun and aiming at the bunker where he was.
Originally, they had never seen these railway policemen, let alone knew that there were light artillery such as recoilless rifles in the world. They also laughed at the anti-Union forces in front of them and ran around carrying several iron cylinders. Do they think that these thick iron cylinders are covered with weapons?
Can a guy with a thin iron tube destroy the bunker he is in? Are they crazy with worry, or are they confused. If this thing can blow up bunkers, then why do they need cannons?
But when they finally understood what those iron barrels were, it was already too late. Although the 57mm recoilless rifle was less effective against the Japanese army's permanent fortifications, it was not effective against these bunkers used to defend against light weapons.
, there is still no problem. Although these bunkers built of reinforced concrete are supposed to block the direct fire of machine guns, they cannot withstand a shell fired by a 57 recoilless rifle.
The two recoilless cannons fired alternately under the cover of several general-purpose machine guns in the battery and the firepower of all squad machine guns. Each shot, one at a time, blew up all the bunkers that seemed to be extremely strong. At this time, the people inside the bunkers
The Puppet Manchukuo Railway Security Force was not only composed of Korean soldiers, but even the Japanese could not hold back and ran out.
Seeing the Puppet Manchukuo military police who were driven out from the bunker, whose combat effectiveness was far different from his impression, the first battalion commander said nothing, and directly said to the first company commander beside him: "Concentrate the firepower on me and charge forward. One of these guys
No one will stay. Damn it, grandma, these bastards delayed me for more than ten minutes."
After hearing his order, his somewhat powerful company commander naturally had no objection. He grabbed the submachine gun, left a platoon to provide fire cover, and jumped out of the railway edge with two platoons, which was used as a temporary bunker.
They rushed up the trench. Relying on their own firepower advantage and under the cover of two recoilless rifles and machine guns behind them, they charged into the opponent's position.
