After Chai Shirong led his men to the north gate for reinforcements and left the front finger, Yang Zhen raised his head and threw the red and blue pencils on the map, frowning deeply. Renqiu County was suddenly attacked. Although Yang Zhen said
He said it casually and showed that he didn't care, but it was just calm on the surface.
But in his heart, although he did not care about the attack on his headquarters, he would be overly concerned about the attack on his headquarters, or he would be very angry, let alone panic about it. No matter what kind of troops the Japanese army came to attack, he would not care about his location.
The security forces are still very confident.
But for Yang Zhen, the tactics adopted by the Japanese army in this sneak attack gave him a sense of alertness, or a feeling of oppression. This was not the ordinary tactical reconnaissance and penetration tactics used by the Japanese army.
sneak attack and sabotage tactics.
No matter which direction they came from, this Japanese army was able to sneak into the vicinity of Renqiu County, which was deep in the front line, even though it was hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest Japanese-controlled area.
The tactical use of this mode is simply too familiar to him.
On the battlefield, the Japanese army is accustomed to using makeup reconnaissance to penetrate deep into the front line, indicate targets for artillery and aviation, and destroy the opponent's command system and logistics base. This is a method commonly used by the Japanese army in combat, and it is not surprising. When fighting in the Northeast
, the Anti-League has encountered this more than once.
But usually this kind of action by the Japanese army is usually carried out in a shallow depth of the front. Unless the focus of the attack is on the flanks and large-scale jump penetration attack tactics are adopted, they generally will not go deep into the front line to a depth of about fifteen kilometers. Because ordinary artillery
Positions, supply points, and additional headquarters are generally five to six kilometers deep.
All actions of the Japanese army are coordinated with frontal troops to break through. They attack the enemy's artillery positions, command systems, and tactical supply points, control traffic choke points, and kill enemy officers and soldiers with cold guns. They create chaos in the depths of the defenders and create chaos on the front.
Create conditions for troop assault.
Even with a small amount of makeup, the reconnaissance operations that go deep into the defenders' defense lines are coordinated with the surrounding Japanese troops who are charging or besieging them. If they go deeper into the distance and there are no heavy Japanese troops surrounding or attacking,
.For the Japanese army, it lost the meaning of cooperating with its breakthrough operations.
At present, a lone army with no response or support from the surroundings actually dares to penetrate more than a hundred kilometers into the entire front line. This is very inconsistent with the habits of the Japanese army. Moreover, in addition to dressing up as civilians, the Japanese army also pretends to be opponents.
Quite a few, but I generally don't change weapons easily.
In other words, when the Japanese army performs tactical reconnaissance, they usually use Japanese-standard weapons. After all, in military operations, the more familiar the troops are with the use of weapons and ammunition, the better. Unless they have undergone special training
troops, otherwise the Japanese army generally still uses its own standard weapons even during infiltration operations behind enemy lines.
Although there are times when the enemy's weapons and equipment are used, for example, when Guo Bingxun was captured, it was because he encountered a Japanese reconnaissance force disguised as one of his own. The company commander who led the team was attracted by those who were disguised as the Northeast Army.
The Japanese reconnaissance troops, armed with Belgian rifle machine guns, were deceived by the small number of Japanese reconnaissance troops and took advantage of the situation.
However, this is only a very rare case. Most of the time, the Japanese army generally uses its own standard weapons. They also use skirmishers to penetrate through gaps in the defenders' defense lines and then gather to destroy them. In the past,
The Japanese army's individual combat capabilities are quite powerful. Even if a dozen Japanese soldiers infiltrate, they will generally cause great damage at shallow depths.
It is not impossible to send troops disguised as opponents and penetrate deep into the enemy's army. However, the number is not large, and the troops invested at one time are not many. They mainly move along the traffic trunk lines, or mix among the refugees. They move at the same time.
The depth is also quite limited.
Prior to this, the Japanese army's largest operation could barely be regarded as a preliminary special operations operation. During the Japanese army's large-scale raids on the North China base area in 1941, the Japanese garrison in Shanxi sent out a special operation to search for and destroy the 18th Group Army in the Taihang Mountains.
The Masuko advance team from the headquarters was active in the Taihang Mountains at that time.
Judging from the entire battle situation, this Japanese special force, fully equipped with the uniforms of the Eighteenth Army and using light weapons and equipment, did cause great damage to the Eighteenth Army at that time. But the real damage was not a direct attack or
Eaten the headquarters of the 18th Army.
The results achieved by this unit were far less than what they boasted. The results they achieved could not be said to be few, but rather limited. In that combat operation, the real threat they posed was to use their own
tactical literacy and reconnaissance capabilities, as well as their own camouflage.
Bypassing the cordon of the security forces at the 18th Army Headquarters, and cooperating with the surrounding troops that were rapidly encircling the 18th Army Headquarters, they seized the 18th Army Headquarters. They also continuously directed the actions of the 18th Army Headquarters to guide the Japanese aviation and artillery to implement long-range firepower.
Strike. And notify the surrounding heavily encircled Japanese army groups to encircle the headquarters of the 18th Army.
The headquarters of the 18th Army suffered heavy losses in the battle at Guojiayu. The losses in the Cross Ridge breakout were so heavy. It was the Masuko advance team that guided the Japanese aviation forces to repeatedly bomb, and the long-range artillery fire and heavy reinforcements of the Japanese army to quickly encircle them. As a result, the security forces at the headquarters of the 18th Army were
Most of the energy was focused on dealing with the heavy Japanese troops encircling them from all sides, and there was no energy to take into account the results of this small Japanese army.
Although the tactics adopted by the Masuko Advance Team during the 2001 battle have begun to take shape as a special force, they are not real special operations after all. And the current Japanese army only looks at the current battle situation.
, which is fundamentally different from all the previous reconnaissance operations models of the Japanese army.
Not only were they wearing the uniforms of the Anti-Union Army, but they were holding standard weapons of the Anti-Union Army. They actually easily bypassed various security points of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei troops in the periphery. In addition to the brother troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Province, they were the new ones.
In addition to the lack of experience in the troops, it can only explain one problem, that is, the Japanese army must have accepted and mastered certain special operations concepts.
Yang Zhen had this idea, not only because he mastered Chinese, was familiar with the characteristics of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and was equipped with anti-Japanese weapons and equipment. It was because this Japanese army went against the usual practice and traveled long distances to penetrate into such a deep distance.
, indicating that they have mastered certain concepts of special operations,
Although Yang Zhen did not think that this force, under the circumstances of considerable scale, would not have any clues about its so-called infiltration operations running hundreds of kilometers, and because the surrounding areas were either old base areas or densely populated areas.
None of them were exposed, and they did not encounter any troops who discovered their flaws.
But in this situation, even if it means killing people and eradicating traces, it is difficult to do it quietly. This Japanese army did not cause a big wave, and it almost went smoothly all the way to Renqiu. At this moment, the entire Jizhong battlefield
Deep zone. It can only be said that in addition to careful planning and rigorous actions, they must have received strict special training.
The Japanese troops outside Renqiu County at the moment should be troops trained by the Japanese army based on the experience accumulated when fighting against the Anti-Japanese Special Forces. However, it is obvious that although these Japanese troops have undergone special training, they are still obviously used.
The overall strategy of the Japanese reconnaissance and destruction forces did not change significantly.
The most important thing is that the current actions of the Japanese army show that it has only touched the threshold at best, and is far from truly mastering the theory and essence of special operations. Judging from the current actions of this Japanese special operations force, it is better to say that it is more
Like a death squad, with a size of 300 people, the special forces fought deep behind enemy lines. No matter what the purpose was, they had never invested so many troops at once.
Surrounded by powerful enemies, not only did they fail to achieve a quick victory, but they quickly escaped from the attack regardless of whether they succeeded or not. If they did not have the requirement to find a fighter plane after being successful, they would instead resort to forceful attacks if the sneak attack failed.
This special operations force is not used in this way?
The so-called success of the Masuko Advance Team in 1941 was that the troops protecting the headquarters of the Eighteenth Army focused more on the large Japanese troops that quickly encircled them. In 41, the Japanese army carried out a large-scale raid on the Taihang Mountains.
The goal is very clear, which is to eliminate the headquarters of the 18th Army.
Not only did it adopt a variety of technical means, especially the monitoring of the 18th Army's radio station, to roughly locate the headquarters of the 18th Army, but it also mobilized heavy troops to take advantage of its mobility advantages to conduct a four-sided surveillance of the activities of the 18th Army headquarters.
Encirclement.
This caused the troops protecting the headquarters of the Eighteenth Group Army to focus more on dealing with the heavy Japanese troops surrounded on all sides. Instead, they ignored the small Japanese army following them. Moreover, the headquarters, agencies and logistics departments were too large, and they were always
Unable to escape the pursuit of this Masuko advance team.
If only this so-called Masuko Advance Team, with more than 100 people, had no Japanese equipment or troops around and had an absolute advantage, and acted quickly and cooperated, had been operating in the hinterland of the 18th Army for so many days, it would have been long ago
Not even the dregs are left after being swallowed.
You must know that the Masuko advance team's whereabouts were exposed not long after entering the base area. It was only because the communication methods of the North China team at that time were too backward, and the scale of the 18th Army headquarters was too large, not only was it slow to move
And the reaction speed was too slow, which allowed him to seize the opportunity.
As for the fact that he only slightly injured two people after a day of hand-to-hand combat with more than 2,000 troops of the 18th Army, this is an even greater boast. At that time, the headquarters of the 18th Army plus logistics, plus the Northern Bureau Party School and other news
, there are indeed more people in banks than this number.
But even if all the combat troops were added together, including the cover troops deployed by the 129th Division. Even if all the troops with guns were added together, there would probably be less than 2,000 people. What's more, even if the troops were in chaos at the time
No matter how strong the fighting power of the Japanese troops in this advancing team is, more than a hundred people are fighting hand-to-hand combat with two thousand people. Even if the opponent is a scarecrow, he can't just slightly injure two people.
More than 100 people fought hand-to-hand combat with 2,000 troops for a day, and a dozen traitors who had basically no fighting ability were thrown out, and they were basically unscathed. This was not to mention the advance of Masuko, who was barely able to catch up with him.
Even the anti-Japanese special forces trained by Yang Zhen couldn't do it.
The record of Masuko's advancing team was probably 80% to rub smoke in his face. Maybe the 18th Army and this small Japanese army did not pay attention to it at that time. Or maybe it was because the heavy Japanese troops were quickly encircling them.
Next, the main focus was on the main force of the Japanese army in the surrounding area. After fighting with this small Japanese army, they paid no attention to them.
