Yang Zhen believes that although the quality of the Japanese army's current soldiers and supplementary officers has generally declined considerably compared with before the outbreak of the Pacific War. Even in some security divisions that are mainly composed of reserve officers and second or even third mobilization of reserve soldiers,
Among the group, the quality has declined drastically.
However, the ability of the elite divisions of the Japanese army, especially the lower-level officers trained by the non-commissioned officer schools, and the individual combat qualities of their units have not declined significantly. Under this situation, the Japanese army has no room to train and select team members.
, far more than the Anti-League.
The junior officers and staff at all levels in the elite divisions of the Japanese army have high tactical literacy, the quality of the soldiers is also quite high, and they have a mature and complete military academy training system. They also have first-class tactical reconnaissance capabilities and tactics. These are the characteristics of the Japanese army.
Shortcuts you can take.
Coupled with the support of Japan's own strong national power, the resources it can concentrate in its hands far exceed those of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Once it finds out the true source of special operations, its development speed and combat capabilities will be far higher than those of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
At that time, I was really worried.
As for the fact that Renqiu County is the location of the former finger was leaked, Yang Zhen did not feel too surprised. The Japanese army's battlefield surveillance capabilities were very strong. During the Japanese army's large-scale raids in 1941, the headquarters of the 18th Army moved several times.
But they still couldn't get rid of the Japanese army's radio monitoring. The Japanese army's own radio monitoring ability contributed a lot to the fact that the Masuko advance team was able to find and seize the headquarters of the 18th Army.
After I took my front finger to station in Renqiu County, I brought several radio stations that carried out radio communications with Northeast China, Yan'an, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan, Shandong and other major strategic areas during the war, as well as these
The high-density radio signals emitted by the radio station. Given the technical capabilities of the Japanese army, it was easy for them to determine the approximate location.
With such a dense radio signal, it would be a ghost if the Japanese army couldn't detect it. When this Japanese army set off, it was not necessarily their destination. It should have been on the way to find the Jizhong battlefield headquarters when they heard the signal from Renqiu County.
There were a lot of radio signals nearby, and I came here by accident.
But no matter how they came, one thing is certain. When they set out at this time, they must be looking for the Jizhong battlefield and the location of the high command of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, capture the thief first, capture the king, China
The Japanese army is also very proficient in the essence of the art of war.
Yang Zhen was not too concerned about how the location of his headquarters was leaked. As for the fact that the Japanese troops actually touched the door of his headquarters under the situation that the perimeter security was not tight, Yang Zhen was also surprised.
Not very angry.
The peripheral troops are inexperienced, and it is not unusual for this group of Japanese troops to be carefully disguised and deceive the eyes of the peripheral troops. However, this group of Japanese special forces that has touched their door must be completely wiped out and their continued development must be cut off.
This idea made the Japanese army understand that this road would not work.
In this way, the Japanese special forces cannot directly nip it in the bud when it is just developing, and completely destroy the Japanese army's confidence in discovering the theory of special operations. If it is allowed to develop, then it will be a threat to the Alliance and all other forces.
The great threat from the anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines.
Moreover, annihilating all this Japanese army in Renqiu is not just a matter of nipping it in the bud. If it cannot be completely wiped out and even one third of this Japanese army can escape, the next step will be to organize a large number of troops.
To encircle and suppress them. This will not only involve the Jizhong battlefield, but also the huge energy and strength of all participating troops.
What's more serious is that once this Japanese army moves to other places, it will cause great losses. Whether it is the battlefield around Hejian to the south, the Baoding battlefield to the west, or the hinterland of Jizhong to the north
.Judging from the strength of this Japanese army, it will cause great losses.
Even though the terrain of the Thousand Miles Plains in Central Hebei Province is, this Japanese army has been carefully disguised and specially trained. If they escape, it will take too much energy to deal with them. There are many troops participating in the battle on the front line.
It is also easy to cause confusion to various units on the front line.
At present, all its effective forces are concentrated in Renqiu, which is the best and only opportunity to annihilate them all. If they can be completely eliminated in Renqiu, it will not only reduce the threat to themselves in depth, but also reduce the use of troops.
The pressure on people. After passing this village, it does not mean that there will no longer be this store.
After thinking about it, Yang Zhen picked up the phone and tried to call Chai Shirong, who had already rushed to the north gate with reinforcements, and asked him to concentrate all his forces and cleanly eliminate all the Japanese troops at all costs. He must not let go.
Run a person and allow him to harm any other battlefield.
While Yang Zhen called Chai Shirong, the two combat staff beside him also made calls to the defense forces of several other gates. After carefully inquiring that there was no abnormality in other directions, Yang Zhen ordered each city to
In addition to leaving a squad at the door, one cadre or above from the platoon will serve as a guard.
The rest of the troops immediately concentrated toward the northeast of the city wall. Under the command of the instructor led by the Third Guard Battalion, they descended from the northeast of the city wall and outflanked the enemies at the north gate. In order to clearly identify all the troops participating in the battle, they had
All wore a white towel and took off their military rank and badges.
After issuing the order, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment. Carrying a telescope, with only a communications staff officer, a walkie-talkie and Zhang Zixiong, he rushed to the North Gate battlefield. As Yang Zhen, who single-handedly created the Anti-Japanese Special Operations model, he
You must see with your own eyes the true extent of training of this Japanese army in order to make a more accurate judgment.
When he arrived at the North Gate battlefield, Yang Zhen did not alert Chai Shirong who was commanding the battle in front. Instead, he chose a hidden corner and raised his binoculars to carefully observe the battle situation at the North Gate. As the founder of the Anti-Japanese Special Operations Forces, the battle situation in front of him made Yang Zhen
I couldn't help but be shocked.
No matter how many shortcomings there are in the Japanese army's tactical application, most of the tactical applications have not yet departed from the scope of infantry tactics. However, the individual quality of the Japanese soldiers in front of them is not much worse than that of the special forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
The precision of shooting during movement is no longer even inferior to that of his own troops.
Although the two-person combat team still adopted the inverted triangle attack formation commonly used by the Japanese army in offensive operations. However, the crossfire of the two people's movements and the extremely accurate three-round bursts gave the North Gate
Troops on the battlefield pose a considerable threat.
The grenade hand's reaction speed and shooting accuracy are also much higher than the average Japanese elite. As long as it is given a chance to launch, it can even achieve a first hit. The throwing distance of the grenade is basically maintained at a distance of about fifty meters.
And the accuracy of the landing point is also quite high.
The attack team in front cooperated closely with the machine guns behind them, surpassing the Japanese army at its peak. After the grenade launchers suppressed the anti-alliance snipers, the two Type 92 heavy machine guns that were finally set up continued to fire.
Use intensive firepower to suppress the anti-alliance positions here.
As soon as the reinforcements led by Chai Shirong arrived, they quickly fell into a hard fight. The original platoon here had suffered more than half of its casualties. Although the Japanese army used grapnels fired from light mortars to climb the city wall several times, they were beaten.
Go back. But on the local battlefield at the North Gate, we have already taken the initiative.
The entire situation now is that although the Japanese army has never been able to rush into the city, the reinforcements of the Anti-Japanese Alliance have also been tightly blocked in the city gate. They tried many times to attack and were unable to break out. Chai Shirong tried to rappel down from the city wall many times.
, but the attempt was restrained by precise Japanese rifle fire.
Looking at the battlefield in front of him, Yang Zhen shook his head. What did Chai Shirong do, so he concentrated all the reinforcements at the north gate? Renqiu County is not a big city, and the perimeter of the city wall is not long. It won't be too long to detour to other city gates.
For a long time, why were the attached armored vehicle platoon and the two mortars not used?
Yang Zhen, who was speechless at Chai Shirong's command, hesitated for a while and finally took over the command himself and withdrew Chai Shirong. He also immediately transferred the two 82 mortars that Chai Shirong had left at the headquarters.
However, the six Soviet-made BA-10 armored vehicles belonging to the armored vehicle platoon were not directly transferred to the North Gate to participate in the battle.
Instead, he ordered all six Soviet-made BA-10 armored vehicles of this armored vehicle platoon not to directly reinforce the north gate. Instead, they left the city from the east gate as quickly as possible and detoured behind the enemy's rear. For this armored vehicle platoon, Yang Zhen only gave
They have fifteen minutes to reach their assigned location.
Yang Zhen directly told the platoon leader on the walkie-talkie that after arriving at the designated position, not to launch a direct charge, but to adopt swarm tactics, using direct-aiming artillery and machine guns to support the city gate operations and block the retreat of the Japanese troops outside the north gate.
.Except for fire support, he does not need to take care of the battle at the North Gate. But if a Japanese soldier escapes, let him be questioned.
After receiving the personal order from No. 1, the armored vehicle platoon leader did not dare to hesitate and immediately took his six armored vehicles. After rushing out of the east gate at maximum speed, he headed towards Yang Zhen's designated location at a top speed of fifty kilometers.
Deployment location, quick detour.
In contrast to this armored vehicle platoon leader, who did not dare to delay at all after receiving the order. Although it was a little detoured, fortunately it was a mechanized force. As long as there were no accidents, there would be no problem in arriving on time. With two 82-guns,
The mortar platoon leader rushed to the north gate panting with artillery fire and all the shells. After seeing Yang Zhen, he was stunned by Yang Zhen's order.
Without him, Yang Zhen's order to him was not to attack the charging Japanese troops. The Japanese army adopted the tactic of using tactical groups to conduct assaults on multiple routes. Two mortars could not form a comprehensive artillery fire blockade, and the Japanese troops in front were closely coordinated.
, but the attack groups are widely spaced apart, which is a pure waste of artillery shells.
Yang Zhen asked him to set up a mortar position under the city wall. According to the targets indicated by the artillery observers on the city wall, he would hit the joints between the front and rear of the Japanese army and block the Japanese army's retreat. As for the two Type 92 heavy machine gun positions, they would not be used for the time being.
Leave him alone. And tell him that if he does not receive his order, even if the Japanese army rushes in front of him, he is not allowed to fire.
But as long as the gun is fired, no matter which direction the target is, without any test firing, the first hit must be achieved. In other words, Yang Zhen does not require firepower density in this battle, but
The requirements for shooting accuracy are quite high.
Although some were confused by Yang Zhen's order, the mortar platoon leader still carried out the order to the letter. He immediately commanded the troops and set up the mortars at a distance of 200 meters according to Yang Zhen's request.
positions. And a wired communication line was quickly set up between the two positions.
Considering the importance of this battle, after the position was deployed, he handed over the troops to the command of the deputy platoon leader. He himself brought a pair of high-power binoculars, a correspondent and a field phone, only half of which was left in front of his eyes.
But the city gate building, which is also the only commanding height in the surrounding area, serves as an observer personally.
