Chapter 576 Rewards and Punishments to Boost Morale
Airborne combat is no longer a secret on the European battlefield. In addition, Europeans generally have a relatively high level of knowledge and culture, aviation and other sports are not as rare as in Asia, and aircraft have become popular. Although it is also a kind of
Noble activities, but after all, they were still quite active before the war.
But the Chinese can't do that. Many people don't even know what an airplane is, let alone a brand-new combat mode like airborne operations. Even at this time, the anti-alliance fighters who are no longer unfamiliar with airplanes, pilots, and even airdrops of supplies are facing
Seeing these Japanese troops falling from the sky, they were somewhat panicked.
Although Yang Zhen has formulated a training plan for anti-airborne operations, due to time constraints, he has only completed the preliminary training for cadres above the company level. The combat troops below have not yet conducted drills. The reason is simple: the necessary conditions for training are lacking.
.The Anti-Japanese Alliance now also has the idea and ideas of forming airborne troops, but it lacks the necessary conditions.
Not only is there insufficient transport aircraft, gliders and other aviation equipment, but there are also parachutes and all other conditions necessary for training paratroopers. The limited parachutes can only meet the needs of aviation and airdrop supplies. Moreover, within the entire Anti-Japanese Alliance base area, it is possible to
The only place where parachute training is conducted is the small airborne training venue originally built for the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region.
Just training pilots and the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region is already overloaded. What's more, it is necessary to form an airborne force. Without the cooperation of the airborne force, there is a lack of the most basic foundation for a complete anti-airborne combined exercise. So this time
Before the battle was launched, the troops' overall anti-airborne combat training had not yet had time to start.
Even the above-mentioned cadres have only completed preliminary classroom training and have not had time to conduct drills. Under such circumstances, it is the first time the troops encountered Japanese paratroopers, and it is not surprising that the grassroots cadres and soldiers were panicked. Especially
It is even more difficult to avoid when the overall cultural level of the army is low.
Fortunately, the cadres above the company who have received anti-airborne training responded relatively quickly. On the one hand, they quickly stabilized the mood of the troops, and on the other hand, they immediately organized ground firepower to intercept and shoot in the air. At a height of 150 meters, if the organization is good, and
The automatic rifles in their hands formed a cluster to fire, and the damage to these paratroopers who had no power to fight back in the air and no weapons was still considerable.
It's just a pity that this reinforcement of the Tongliao defenders was the first time for the Japanese army to use paratroopers on a large scale. And for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it was the first time to use airborne operations. Although cadres above the company,
I had learned anti-airborne training when I was in the training team, but this was the first time for me to experience actual combat.
The organization and coordination of troops and firepower are unsatisfactory, and there are many loopholes. Especially when a considerable number of soldiers in the army are in a panic, they are in the process of leaving the aircraft and landing on the Japanese paratroopers who are in the best interception period.
The interception is actually quite unsatisfactory.
In addition, although the Japanese paratroopers were parachuting in a group, they were spread out quite a lot. At this time, on the battlefield on the ground, the Anti-Alliance and Japanese troops had been divided into several large groups, and their forces were relatively concentrated. The effect of concentration versus dispersion was naturally not good.
It would be great. Although a lot of Japanese soldiers were killed, they were unable to cause more casualties.
Due to the hasty organization of most troops and some fear in the hearts of grassroots soldiers, the actual effect of anti-air fire interception is very unsatisfactory. In fact, compared with the Japanese paratroopers at other landing points, he is here because he is in the middle of the Japanese army.
It was a turning point for airdrops from planes, and there were relatively many Japanese paratroopers airdropped. This meant that no matter how dispersed they were, the largest number of Japanese paratroopers could be concentrated here.
When the Japanese paratroopers appeared in the sky, he also saw his soldiers, and even some squad platoon leaders looked frightened. Therefore, he did not organize air interception and shooting, but left a small number of troops to confront the Japanese troops on the opposite side.
Concentrate all the remaining forces and take a free rein to turn this crisis into an aerial target training exercise.
As for the next step of launching a counterattack while the paratroopers were not yet firmly established, he had never thought about it at all. He had no choice. At the moment, he only had such a small number of troops in his hands, and they were under the suppression of the surrounding Japanese firepower. Let alone launch a counterattack.
It is quite dangerous to escape from the rubble pile used as a temporary bunker.
The nearest distance between the Japanese troops around me is less than 30 meters. With the Japanese army's marksmanship at such a close distance, they can knock down the soldiers standing on their side with one shot without deliberately aiming. So after the battle enters the stalemate stage
, Li He once gave a death order, even if he pooped or peed, he would not escape from the rubble pile as a cover.
Even though the rubble on the ground is unbearable, all actions are only allowed while squatting. Of course, if you don't mind being panicked, he has no objection to crawling forward. In a word, you can do whatever you want.
Standing up was not allowed. Since it was difficult to stand up, how could the Japanese paratroopers take advantage of their unstable footing to launch a tactical counterattack?
Therefore, Li He never thought about the tactics that the instructor repeatedly explained during the training in the division: while conducting fire interceptions, concentrate superior troops and firepower to implement counterattack tactics against the Japanese parachute area. However, although it was impossible
Taking the next step, but it does not mean that he has not taken action.
After seeing that the Japanese airdropped paratroopers, Li He's plan was very simple. While the Japanese troops were unable to fight back in the air, he would kill as many as he could, and try his best not to let the Japanese paratroopers land in his position. His own
The position is not large, and it is under the fire control of the surrounding Japanese troops. It doesn't matter if a few sneak in.
But if there are too many, and he is surrounded by Japanese troops on the opposite side, then his life will be difficult. As for the Japanese paratroopers landing nearby, he doesn’t care much. Anyway, if you have too many lice, you don’t need to itch, and if you have too many debts, you don’t have to worry.
We have been carrying it for such a long time, and we don’t care if there are dozens more Japanese troops to carry it for a while longer.
As long as the troops of the 53rd Regiment from the north, who are currently very close to us, come closer, even dozens more Japanese paratroopers will not be a big problem. What's more, even if the Japanese paratroopers land safely, it will take some time to gather, and they will be disguised.
You can buy yourself some time.
However, after seeing some fear in the eyes of his subordinates, Li He decided to take some easier measures to first break the fear of the Japanese paratroopers in the troops. After all, this was the first encounter. In the days to come,
It's still going on. Who can guarantee that the troops will not encounter Japanese paratroopers in the future?
After taking the lead in shooting and killing a Japanese paratrooper in mid-air, Li He grabbed a squad machine gun, opened the front gun rack, and placed it on the shoulder of a soldier. He shouted to his troops: "This is a Japanese soldier."
There is nothing to fear about the paratroopers. They are hanging in the air now, and they are a ready-made mobile rapid-fire target. Let's just have a shooting competition to see who can hit the most Japanese in mid-air."
"If he hits a lot, I will reward him with a pig's trotter when he takes a rest. If he fails to hit, he will be responsible for the whole camp's internal affairs from now on. Especially cleaning the toilets will be contracted by the person who fails to hit. The time limit is
It lasts for one year. At this time, the time has come to show off your shooting skills, so please give me some time to aim and shoot."
"The little devil is hanging in the air. He can only bite the bullet and take our bullets. He has no ability to fight back. This is a rare opportunity to shoot a moving target in the air. Please be careful. There is no shop like this after passing this village.
If you can't beat me, go back and clean the toilets for a year, but don't blame me for being unkind."
After that, the machine gun in Li He's hand was the first to fire. He fired several beautiful bursts and accurately hit several paratroopers floating in the sky. His comments about the shooting competition, coupled with being the first to set an example, greatly relieved the soldiers.
The tension caused by seeing Japanese paratroopers for the first time.
And after he said that he was punished by cleaning the toilets for a year, the effect became more obvious. It was obvious that no one of his subordinates was willing to clean the toilets. Although most of his subordinates were from farmers' backgrounds, they were not interested in the current agricultural industry.
Feces, the main source of fertilizer, is no stranger, and many people have done it at home.
Everyone wants to eat pig's trotters, and there are few people who don't like to eat pork. But no one is willing to clean the toilets in the whole camp. As soon as Li He's punishment came out, his subordinates were afraid
He immediately disappeared without a trace, scrambling to shoot in the air.
Even Guo Jie raised her submachine gun and fired a long burst into the air. But she was smart, knowing that the submachine gun in her hand had a strong recoil, and the Japanese paratroopers in the sky were erratic, so she used her arm strength to fire bursts of fire.
It was difficult to hit the target. So instead of aiming directly at the slowly descending paratroopers, she turned the submachine gun ninety degrees and swept it out sideways.
Although it did not directly hit the paratrooper who was slowly descending, the parachute straps of this guy were discounted, helping this guy to get rid of the shackles of the parachute in the air in advance. As a result, although this unlucky guy was not killed, he died.
It was even worse. He fell down from a height of 70 meters and turned into a meat pie.
Seeing that Guo Jie actually opened the scoring and created new ways to use it. Although Li He didn't say anything, he admired this girl's creativity and acceptance in his heart. Some even ignored the fact that she was a
For girls, I recommend her to directly participate in the selection of the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region.
It's just a pity that she is a girl. Even if she is approved to join the army, she will not even be assigned to ordinary combat troops, let alone the powerful reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region? So Li He can only use accurate machine gun bursts to replace the ones in the air.
The Japanese paratroopers were reduced in number, and they cried out in their hearts with regret.
At a height of 150 meters, although the Japanese paratroopers did not stay in the air for too long, the automatic rifles in the Anti-Japanese Alliance had a fast rate of fire and fierce firepower per unit time. Although Li He did not deliberately organize a group of firepower
Shooting from the air, but actually doing this is also a disguised form of cluster shooting.
Moreover, he turned the fire interception into a shooting competition, which also made all the soldiers participating in the battle aim carefully, and the shooting accuracy was also much higher. The Japanese paratroopers parachuting in his area were not densely packed at this time.
, but the shooting accuracy was quite high, and the fire interception resulted in heavy casualties.
Although the Japanese troops on the opposite side discovered this situation, they opened fire desperately in an attempt to cover the landing of their paratroopers. However, the anti-alliance troops here had patches of rubble as cover, so they could lie comfortably on the ground and shoot from the air.
The suppressive firepower of the Japanese army basically had no effect.
The Japanese army confronting them tried to cover the fire suppression of their paratroopers, and even launched a small charge. Although they recaptured some of the paratroopers who landed in the confrontation area between the two armies, they did not really have much effect, and many were accidentally injured.
It was very unlucky that the Japanese paratroopers landed right in front of the two armies.
