His firepower deployment not only covered the entire valley under his fire net, but also covered the area more than a thousand meters outside the valley. Moreover, before the battle, he issued a death order, and no one was allowed to initiate
Charge and always use firepower to solve problems.
Since the Puppet Mongolian Army entered the mountains, his telescope has never left the marching columns of these puppet troops. Looking at the marching columns of the Puppet Mongolian Army trying to rush through the valley as quickly as possible, Yang Jicai showed a trace of contempt on his lips.
Smile. The intention of these pseudo-Mongolian troops is very obvious, that is, they want to rush through this valley as quickly as possible.
Therefore, after entering the mountain, they neither built a cover position nor deployed cover troops at the entrance of the valley. After rushing into the valley, they did not seize the commanding heights along the line. Instead, they continued to speed up, trying to reach the top of the valley in the shortest possible time.
It crossed the Huangganliang line inside.
Watching the Japanese and puppet troops in sight getting closer and closer, the more than 1,000 people in the vanguard have all entered the 400-meter circle. Even the more than 100 people in the front are close to the bottom of the ambush circle. And the subsequent troops have already
When most of the troops entered the valley and only one-third of the remaining troops outside the valley were left, Yang Jicai slowly raised his signal gun and fired two green and one red signals into the sky to initiate an attack.
As three signal bombs soared into the sky, the valley where there had been only the noisy sound of horse hooves suddenly remembered the sound of bursting gunfire. The dense gunfire hit the Puppet Mongolians galloping in the valley from the gentle slopes on both sides of the valley.
The cavalry of the army. For a moment, the puppet Mongolian army in the valley was turned upside down by the bomb.
The Puppet Mongolian Army, which was passing through at the fastest speed, had been psychologically prepared and ready to fight under repeated instructions from their superiors. However, because they were already approaching the mountain pass, they were somewhat relaxed.
.Some people even sit loosely on their horses.
It must be said that these Mongolians, who have grown up on horses since childhood, are indeed excellent in riding skills. They are riding so proudly on their horses, but the speed of the horses under their hips has not slowed down at all. It’s just that they don’t care about these pseudo-Mongolian soldiers.
His riding skills are good, but his defense is down.
The reason why Yang Jicai set up the ambush circle at the south pass of the valley was because of this opportunity. Only in this way can he get the greatest surprise. Because people tend to be more relaxed when victory is in sight. For
This is the best opportunity to ambush Zhan Laisuo. And the progress of the battle also shows that his deployment is still correct.
As for whether the puppet Mongolian troops approaching the south pass of the valley would force their way out under fire, he was not too worried. He had already deployed two tanks and two machine guns at a turning point at the south pass. As long as
Once the gunshots are fired here, they will block the South Pass in the shortest possible time.
Because they felt that victory was in sight, and there was almost no defense against the puppet Mongolian army, they were instantly hit by the intensive gunfire and turned into a mess. Bullets mixed with artillery shells were fired from both sides of the valley.
It was too dense. Exposed on the road at the bottom of the valley, the unobstructed puppet Mongolian troops were driven down in pieces by crossfire from both sides.
The cavalry does move fast, but the automatic firepower on both sides fires faster. In addition, the training of the puppet Mongolian army itself has some problems. When fighting, they swarm, and when they retreat, they basically retreat. Use activities in Chaha
Well, according to the leader of the Daqingshan Guerrilla Detachment of the Eighteenth Group Army in Suiyuan, as long as they withstand their three axes, these puppet Mongolian troops are basically helpless.
When encountering an ambush battle, if the terrain is unfavorable, they will basically become a mess. If there is sufficient ammunition and the use of favorable terrain, it will not be a problem to eat them all in one battle. Although its combat effectiveness is superficially higher than
The puppet troops in the Pass are much more ferocious, which is actually the same thing. Without the support of the Japanese army, the actual combat effectiveness would be at best stronger than the puppet troops in some places within the Pass.
They can still fight some offensive and defensive battles with Haolai. Compared with the puppet security forces and the puppet Manchu army, which have strong combat effectiveness, these pseudo-Mongolian troops are far behind. Of course, if they are located in the plains, these pseudo-Mongolian troops still have to be careful.
Some. If you can avoid fighting with them in plain areas, you should try to avoid it.
The impact of cavalry on plain terrain is still quite a threat to an army with low firepower. These four-legged guys are still very fierce on plain terrain. After all, they are cavalry, and their mobility is not just simple.
The infantry can be compared. Moreover, these Mongolians, who have lived on horseback since childhood, have superb riding skills, and their horsemanship is still very good.
But if you go to the mountainous terrain, in the words of veterans who participated in the Western Route Army, its combat capabilities are much worse than those of the Ma's Army in the northwest. Its toughness and ferocity are far behind. If it encounters a blow,
Most of the time, they collapse on the spot. Of course, there are some veterans who will look for any opportunity to escape.
Problems with their own training, plus the incoming firepower was too intensive. In addition, the troops in front had already seen the exit of the valley, and the troops behind saw that the forwards had a safe journey, and their own defenses were somewhat lax. This period of firepower attack
, it’s not an accident that he was hit with his head covered and turned around.
Yang Jicai's firepower division tactics were very effective. Except for the puppet Mongolian army within 400 meters, which was knocked down by the intensive firepower on both sides, the puppet Mongolian army between 400 meters and 1,000 meters also did not escape.
The huge power of the 12mm anti-aircraft machine gun, the extremely fast rate of fire of the general-purpose machine gun, coupled with the firepower of a large number of Soviet-made light and heavy machine guns, caused great losses to the follow-up troops of the puppet Mongolian army. Especially the 12mm anti-aircraft machine gun,
It often happens that one bullet penetrates two people at the same time.
A thousand meters away, the flat-firing 14mm twin anti-aircraft machine guns and the twin 23mm anti-aircraft guns caused a massacre on the narrow road in the valley. The 14mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullets
Or the destructive power of the 23mm artillery shells has been demonstrated to the greatest extent. As long as every bullet or artillery shell hits, no matter whether it is a man or a horse, not even a whole corpse will be left.
Outside the mountain pass, the puppet Mongolian army that had not yet had time to enter the valley suffered even worse results. At the same time as the sound of gunfire rang out in the valley, the four 107 rocket launchers deployed at the bottom of the valley were fired upon by the guides hidden in the mountain pass.
Under the guidance, two consecutive volleys were fired towards the gathering place of Japanese and puppet troops outside the valley.
The firepower coverage of a twelve-barreled 107 rocket launcher is equivalent to that of an established artillery battalion. The first salvo of four twelve-barreled 107 rocket launchers killed the first of the assembled Puppet Mongolian cavalry.
The Japanese infantry and cavalry divisions were all covered. The gathering Japanese and puppet troops were unable to guard against it, and suffered heavy casualties under the dense rain of bullets. The first division of the puppet Mongolian army, which Li Shouxin regarded as the lifeblood of the army, simply stayed there
During this period of shelling, they were bombed and lost their combat effectiveness.
Compared with the division outside the mountain that has not yet entered the mountain, the puppet Mongolian army in the valley is having an even harder time. The troops in the front were hit by sudden firepower and were thrown into chaos. The troops marching in the middle were hit both in the front and in the rear.
Under such circumstances, in order to escape from the fire net as quickly as possible, we braved the hail of bullets and rushed forward desperately. After all, the distance to the mountain pass in front was much closer than the distance back along the original path.
Therefore, all the troops of the puppet Mongolian army marching in the middle accelerated forward almost in unison. As a result, a large number of cavalry crowded in front, squeezing into a pot of porridge. The terrain of the valley where Yang Jicai chose to ambush was very special. Entering from the north
The pass of the mountain is relatively wide. The distance between the two mountains in the middle is about three hundred meters, and the width is sufficient.
But the further south you go, the narrower it becomes. The kilometers at the bottom of the valley are almost adjacent to two parallel mountains. The straight line width is less than 70 meters. When you reach the southernmost pass out of the mountain, the width is less than 50 meters. Both sides of the road
There is almost no room for maneuver.
Under this terrain, a large number of cavalry crowded here. Coupled with the intensive firepower from the mountains on both sides, the south pass of Huanggangliang line almost became a slaughterhouse. I don’t know when the pass appeared.
The two tanks, which were blocking the road side by side, were equipped with forty-five-millimeter artillery and two parallel machine guns, and they continued to pour out tongues of fire at the swarming Puppet Mongolian troops.
A large number of directional mines were deployed near the pass and continuously detonated, which also caused a lot of casualties to the puppet Mongolian cavalry. The last distance of less than 100 meters to the entire valley pass almost became a life-and-death line for the puppet Mongolian army. The first to enter the valley,
A whole division of puppet Mongolian troops who were also at the front fell to the pass without firing a single shot.
The wounded and dead, as well as a large number of horse corpses, were almost piled up at the pass. Although the puppet Mongolian army, like other puppet armies, was large in organization but small in strength. The strength of a division, including all the orderly soldiers without combat effectiveness, was
There are only over a thousand people here. Even the First Division, which Li Shouxin worked so hard to manage, only has over two thousand people.
But the leading division was defeated without firing a single shot. The other division that followed also suffered 70% casualties in a short period of time. This situation will undoubtedly be a problem for the puppet Mongolian army behind.
It was a great stimulus. Morale, which was already low, fell even faster.
Compared with the First Division outside the valley, which was blown to pieces without firing a shot, and the Sixth Division and the Fourth Division, which were defeated under the first wave of blows, the situation of the Puppet Mongolian Army in the valley is actually worse.
It was better. Especially the 78th and 78th divisions of the Puppet Mongolian Army located in the middle of the valley and slightly to the north, actually became the two divisions with the fewest casualties.
After all, the number of 23mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns and 14mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns in Yang Jicai's hands is limited. Although these two weapons are very powerful in ground attack and have a fast rate of fire, when added together,
Less than twelve. Although these weapons are firepower-intensive, the number is still limited after all.
Moreover, after these weapons join the advancing army, they will be the only anti-aircraft weapons of the advancing army. The reserve of ammunition is also an issue he has to consider. Two of the 14mm anti-aircraft machine guns also need to block the advancing army with cross fire.
Mountain pass. In other words, the firepower he deployed here is the weakest and the troops are also the smallest.
