But what Okajima Shigetoshi didn't expect was that the battalion waiting for him to advance was hidden here. Although its strength was roughly the same as that of the Japanese troops they cut off, the battalion commander who led the team was not timid at all, except for leaving one behind.
In addition to the rescue operation led by the instructor to block his possible appearance.
He led his three main companies, rifles with bayonets fixed, and charged towards the opponent. He was completely mixed up with the enemy. He was stuck with the Japanese troops he had cut off. He had no intention of doing so.
Give the separated troops behind him a chance to break through. In his words, even if he dies, he will take these devils with him to hell. He must not let his brother troops look down upon him.
Although the original order given by the superiors to the battalion commander was to let go of the Japanese vanguard and keep as much of the enemy's tail as possible. If the Japanese army is divided, it will be dealt with directly if it is less than one and a half squadrons. If the number of enemy troops cut off is
If there are too many, then hold them back first. Wait for the brother troops behind to catch up, and then completely encircle and annihilate them.
It's just that the battalion commander didn't expect that the stuffing in the bun he made was a little too much. The Japanese army he intercepted was almost equal to his strength. In this case, according to the superior's intention, he first contained the enemy in front of him.
This group of Japanese troops could actually wait until the troops behind them rushed up before launching an attack.
But as early as when I received this order, I had been holding back a feeling of anger in my heart. I was completely dissatisfied with the overall deployment of my superiors, but I did not follow the instructions of my superiors at all. Because he knew very well
You know, the so-called brother troops who rushed up later are all anti-alliance troops.
The main force of his unit had either withdrawn from the battlefield to recuperate due to heavy casualties during the bitter battle on the front line of the Wei family shack. Or, in order to complete the planned blocking plan, they were continuously retreating and gathering deployment. Or they were being attacked in the front without being attacked.
The part of the Japanese army that I intercepted set up a new encirclement. Otherwise, it was on the Tangzhangzi line as the last barrier on the entire battlefield.
With his own troops already exhausted, the so-called brother troops rushing up from behind will not have any other troops except the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Although they are brother troops, it is difficult for the battalion commander to accept the rice in his bowl.
, but was given a share of the pie by fraternal troops other than fraternal troops.
If the brother troops coming up behind were from his own regiment, he might be able to accept it. But the follow-up troops were all anti-alliance troops, which made this guy feel angry. Why should he, the old Eighth Route Army, be in this position?
Can we only attack them on the battlefield?
In his eyes, although the fraternal troops are well equipped and have strong combat effectiveness, these old Eighth Route Army soldiers are not cowards, and they can fight the Japanese with no hesitation. Why do they come to join in the business that he has taken over? Why are they the main force, and he
The troops have always been able to play supporting roles? Why do you have to wait until they catch up before launching a general attack?
If we want to stop all the Japanese troops who break out of the encirclement, a reinforced battalion of our own troops does not have that much courage. However, the combat target set by the superiors is the Japanese troops that have been intercepted by themselves. But how many can be intercepted?
Then it’s not up to you to decide? Why do they have to come to finally solve the problem?
In addition, during the previous battle in the Wei family shack, his battalion had been serving as a brigade reserve. Although it had traveled a lot, it had never won a battle. It could only watch other troops, repeatedly fighting in front.
Fighting in front of the Japanese soldiers was enough to make him suffocate.
When his battalion was in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, it was the first-class main battalion among the troops directly under the military region. It was always used in the most critical places at the most critical moments. The ace troops also had the arrogance of the ace troops. This time they actually
If he was asked to wait for the Anti-Japanese Alliance forces behind to rush over and then completely deal with the enemy in front of him, he would not be able to swallow this breath.
People fight for a breath, and Buddha fights for a stick of incense. The battalion commander, who was holding a breath of anger in his heart, simply did not follow the intentions of his superiors. Not to mention that the enemy forces in front of him were equal to his strength, or even exceeded the strength of his troops.
He won't just wait for the follow-up troops to come up and fight this battle again. As a soldier, he still has the arrogance.
In fact, the three troops participating in this battle, except for the Anti-Japanese Alliance who participated in the battle in an organized manner, the two brigades that advanced, one was from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei military region, and the other was from the Taihang and Hebei-Shandong-Henan military regions. It can be said that
The three troops participating in the war came from three different places.
In addition to the fact that the advancing army and the anti-alliance forces are not convinced by each other and are determined to compete on the battlefield, the advancing army itself is also internal, because each army comes from major strategic areas in North China and competes with each other.
Even if they are not convinced, they are all vying for the position of the first-class main force.
The troops from Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and the Taihang Military Region, as well as those from the Taihang Military Region and the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, also secretly shouted at each other. The troops incorporated into the advancing army turned out to be almost all the first-class main forces in the major strategic areas. To use the words later,
Say, they are all aces. The ace army, they all have the arrogance of the ace army. How can you bear it if you are inferior to others?
The old troops and the newly upgraded troops are all competing for who is the real main force. Columns and columns are competing for the position of the top ace column in the army. Brigades are competing for the top main force of their own columns.
brigade, or even the position of the first-class main brigade in the entire army.
At the regiment level, the regiments are all vying to be the main force of the column and brigade. At the battalion level, the competition is actually even more fierce. Not only is it the main force of the entire brigade, but they are even secretly competing.
Who is the first ace battalion to march forward? Although there is no problem in obeying the order, there is private competition between the various units.
On the battlefield in western Liaoning, this battle with the Anti-Alliance Forces has escalated to a contest between two brother armies. They have to compete on the battlefield to see who is the real ace army. Especially this time
In this battle, the two brigades of the advancing army were assigned to the command of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which made the two brigades participating in the war feel more energetic.
This kind of competition is not only on the exercise ground and in training, but also throughout the entire battle. Of course, this kind of private competition is not about secretly trying to undermine each other on the battlefield. It is about being unconvinced by each other and seeing who can be eliminated on the battlefield.
The greater the number of enemy troops, the more weapons will be captured.
Especially now, they are both part of the advancing army, but they are from another brigade from the Taihang Military Region. On the Jianping West Battlefield, they have already defeated a strengthened infantry brigade of the Japanese army. However, they have been unable to win the battle against the Wei family shack.
The comparison of the results was so huge that the whole brigade, formed by the old troops from Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Province, was greatly stimulated.
The whole army was screaming, clamoring to fight a tough battle to show the brothers who is the first-class main brigade to advance. At this time, let this battalion commander who is the first-class main brigade in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei
, wait for the anti-alliance troops behind to rush over and then resolve the battle. Not to mention that the battalion commander will not do it, I am afraid that his subordinates will not agree either.
However, he was still unconvinced, but he was still very clear-headed. He knew that in terms of basic military quality, although his troops had been training in the Northeast for several months, there was still a certain distance from the Japanese army. Although the current troops
The equipment has also arrived, and the ammunition is sufficient. However, in terms of equipment, it is at most the same as the Japanese army in front of them.
When there is still a certain gap in the military quality of the troops, it is not easy to deal with the Japanese troops intercepted by you. You must know that this is the Kwantung Army, and it is also an elite unit among the Japanese army. In terms of military quality, I
The troops still need to train more. In terms of weapons and equipment, everyone is basically the same.
Even if the Japanese army only intercepted two squadrons, if we talk about an honest attack and encirclement, then it can only be a fishing net with an oversized mesh, and nothing can be caught. Not only can it not catch the brother troops who are snatching food,
Not to mention resolving the battle before coming here, the Japanese army would probably bite us back.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he had no intention of engaging in a serious mountain offensive and defensive battle with the Japanese army in front of him. In order to fight this battle successfully, he had painstakingly planned for a long time. After arriving at the front line of Shijiazi, he mobilized all his troops
He was lying in ambush in the ditch at the foot of the mountain road on both sides. The top Japanese soldiers stepped on his head and refused to move.
After the breakout Japanese army arrived at the front line of Shijiazi and conducted fire reconnaissance, he and his troops gritted their teeth and persisted in the blind fire test of the Japanese army. He did not let the enemy who was already close at hand
The Japanese army had no idea and almost perfectly achieved the suddenness of the battle.
And his troops are after all the time-tested Lao Eighth Route Army, and their battlefield discipline is absolutely excellent. Practice makes perfect in this kind of close-range ambush battle. Its battlefield concealment ability can be said to be quite superb. The chosen ambush location,
It was also beyond the expectations of the Japanese army.
Even when the leading soldiers of the Japanese army marched to the closest distance of only two or three meters from the ambush site, they did not find the ambush troops hidden in the ditches at the foot of the mountains on both sides, nor did they find the ambush troops hidden on the mountainside on both sides instead of on the ridges where they should be.
machine gun and grenade positions. In addition, the fleeing Japanese troops were too hasty during the reconnaissance and did not conduct detailed reconnaissance, so they did not discover that the enemy troops were lurking under their noses.
During the Japanese fire test, a few cadres and soldiers who were hit by stray bullets gritted their teeth and persisted until their superiors issued the order to attack. Some soldiers were even tested by the Japanese army to see if there was an ambush nearby, and the grenade fired directly hit half of them.
A leg. Even though it was bleeding dry and sacrificed, it didn't make any sound.
It was also the strict battlefield discipline that ensured the suddenness of the battle. As well as using the fastest speed to take advantage of the Japanese army's retreat, in order to prevent an ambush on both wings, the only spacing between the marching sequences was consciously opened, which could almost be achieved.
It was said that it was only a fleeting gap, and the division of the Japanese army was completed in the shortest possible time.
After completing the division of the Japanese army, although he was a little surprised by the large number of Japanese troops that he had cut off. However, the battalion commander, who had been holding a breath in his heart and wanted to fight for his life, did not hesitate to lead the troops directly.
Stick it up and mix it up with the Japanese army.
His idea is very simple. Although the basic military quality of his troops is still far behind the Japanese army, the level of bayonet fighting is not much different from that of the Japanese army. Using bayonets and submachine guns, he can fight with the Japanese army in close combat.
Speaking of which, I can't compare to you in marksmanship, but I'm not far behind you in hand-to-hand combat with dedicated hard work.
The original Laobao Army attached great importance to hand-to-hand combat due to weapons, equipment and ammunition. After years of hard work, they even did not hesitate to become teachers of the enemy and learn from Japanese prisoners of war. In terms of bayonet skills alone, they are not much different from the Japanese army.
.Three guns Tubal Road, that is just a generalization. Due to lack of ammunition, let alone local troops such as Tubal Road.
Even the main force composed of Lao Ba Road, when fighting an ambush, basically rushes in after three shots and starts fighting with bayonets. All firepower and tactics can only be thrown aside when fighting an ambush. Bayonets and
When you see real skills with a broadsword, that's what you should do.
