Yang Zhen's estimate was good. Although the number of Japanese and puppet troops chasing those dozen people was large, their vigilance was not strict. [.Com text] Maybe it was because they were eager to make achievements, or maybe they thought that their opponents no longer had the ability to fight back. Except
Facing the dozen or so people, most of them were immersed in marching, pursuing desperately under the supervision of the officers.
Less than half an hour after Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun occupied the east and west hills of this mountain road, large Japanese and puppet troops had already arrived right under Yang Zhen's nose.
Watching the people running rapidly down the mountain, occasionally squatting down, relying on the terrain to use the few bullets at hand to block the pursuers. Under the pursuit of the pursuers, the anti-alliance team, which had less than ten people, squatted next to Yang Zhen.
Liu Changshun, commander of the second company of the battalion and a former soldier of the 18th Army, asked Yang Zhen in a low voice: "Commander, is it time to take action? If you don't take action, those few people will be dead."
Yang Zhen, who was holding a telescope to observe the pursuing Japanese and puppet troops in the distance, heard Liu Changshun's question, shook his head and said: "Wait for a while, the Japanese and puppet troops have not completely entered the encirclement. Opening fire now can only arouse the enemy."
After that, Yang Zhen looked at Liu Changshun, who was somewhat nervous at the side, and said in a stern tone: "How did I teach you when we were in the secret camp? You can't calm down so quickly? It's a good thing that you are still a veteran.
You are a leader now, but you may lead more troops in the future. If you are so impatient, how can I trust you to put the troops in your hands?"
Hearing Yang Zhen's reprimand, Liu Changshun smiled bitterly but said nothing. He could only concentrate on the Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain who were entering the ambush circle one after another.
Seeing the Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain entering the ambush circle one after another, Yang Zhen picked up his gun and got ready. However, Yang Zhen did not use his own pistol, but took a Type 38 rifle from a soldier beside him.
.
After Yang Zhen took the rifle, he pulled the loaded bullets out of the gun chamber one after another. He gently ground the bullets into deep grooves on a stone in front of him and then pressed the bullets back into the chamber quietly.
After doing all this quietly, Yang Zhen turned on the safety and pointed the gun at a puppet Manchukuo military policeman riding a horse.
Because it was a mountain march, except for a dozen horses carrying heavy machine guns, mortars, and ammunition, most of the Japanese and puppet soldiers marched on foot. Riding on the horse, they constantly used binoculars to observe the movements in front, and constantly urged
This was the only soldier beside him. Even if he thought with his toes, this man wearing the uniform of the Puppet Manchukuo police should be pointing at the commander of the Japanese and Puppet Army soldiers.
Adhering to the ancient saying of shooting the man first, shoot the horse first, and catching the thief first, capture the king. Naturally, Yang Zhen would not let go of such an obvious target easily. And this careless man, who had no idea that a rifle was already aimed at him, did his duty.
Become the first victim of the gunshot fired as a signal by Yang Zhen.
When he saw that all the Japanese and puppet soldiers at the foot of the mountain had entered the ambush circle, Yang Zhen raised his rifle, steadily put his tall figure into his sight, and gently said to Liu Changshun beside him: "Order those rifles
The heavy machine guns will first concentrate their firepower on the Japanese troops, and the remaining puppet Manchukuo soldiers and police will be dealt with by light machine guns and rifles. As long as those Japanese troops are destroyed, the remaining puppet troops will be easy to deal with."
After that, Yang Zhen gently pulled the trigger of the Type 38 rifle that he had modified in his hand. With a crisp gunshot, part of the warhead armor had been worn away in the chamber, revealing
The lead core in the warhead was removed, and the actual lethality was close to that of the DUM bullet, which penetrated straight into the body of the knight who was riding a horse and showing off his power.
After Yang Zhen's simple modification, the ballistic trajectory of this round has changed. It is no longer straight and goes straight in and out of the Arisaka 6.5mm rifle bullet. After it penetrated into this man's body, it easily circled in a circle and almost engulfed his internal organs.
After making a mess, he left with a large mass of flesh and blood from his back.
After receiving this shot, the fat man who had just been so worried flew out of his mouth. He was still desperately urging his subordinates to speed up without even humming, and he fell under the horse.
Perhaps it was because the anti-alliance operations were going so smoothly during this period that the vigilance of these Japanese and puppet troops was significantly reduced.
When Yang Zhen shot down the man on the horse with one shot, most people didn't realize what was going on.
It was obvious that the enemies ambushing on both sides of the valley did not intend to give them time to wake up. The sound of the gunshot that had just suddenly sounded had not yet fallen, and intensive gunshots rang out around the valley almost at the same time. Waiting for these
The Japanese and puppet troops noticed that there was an attack and when they looked for cover according to their usual tactical requirements, more than half of them had already been knocked down.
In particular, according to Yang Zhen's order, they were listed as the first choice target. The dozens of well-trained Japanese troops who were originally behind the team were far from being comparable to those of the Puppet Manchukuo military and police. Because they were on a small piece of developed land, although on the first
He reacted immediately and sought cover as quickly as possible. However, under the concentrated care of three heavy machine guns and priority strikes, he still suffered casualties within a short period of time.
He realized that he had been ambushed by the Japanese and puppet troops. When he realized that his commander had been shot dead at the first moment and could not die anymore, he immediately realized that he had been ambushed.
After all, they were trained by the elite of the Japanese Kwantung Army, specifically used to deal with the forest police of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Not only their tactical movements, but also their weapons and equipment imitated the Japanese army. Even their fierceness also inherited the style of their Japanese masters.
After discovering that there were also heavy bullets on their retreat, and knowing that they had been surrounded, these Puppet Manchukuo policemen trained by the Kwantung Army served as their deputies at all levels but as Japanese officers who held real power.
Under his command, he launched a continuous counterattack against the hills on both sides, trying to seize a hilltop and resisting stubbornly.
What they didn't expect was that the opponent in front of them was not an anti-alliance force that lacked training. Instead, it was a force that had gone through almost brutal training for a month and a half and was specially trained based on the combat characteristics of the puppet Manchukuo army.
Although one and a half months was not long, Yang Zhen, who knew the weaknesses of his troops, trained painstakingly, and this battle turned out to be a decent one.
Especially under the training of Yang Zhen who was not stingy with bullets and almost destroyed more than half of the ammunition on hand. Although the marksmanship of most people could not be compared with that of the Japanese elite, their marksmanship was basically passable. Especially the machine guns.
The firepower was tense and relaxed, and although the accuracy was not comparable to that of Japanese veterans, it was still a little stronger than these puppet Manchukuo military police. At first glance, I thought these people were veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
Yang Zhen, who fired the first shot, naturally would not compete with his subordinates for battle glory. After firing the five bullets in the gun, Yang Zhen threw the rifle back to its original owner. Now he also serves as his bodyguard and correspondent.
The little tiger himself grabbed the binoculars and continuously adjusted his deployment according to the battlefield situation while evaluating the training results of the past month and a half.
The Puppet Manchukuo military police at the foot of the mountain made several unsuccessful attacks, but they themselves suffered more than half of the casualties. Especially after the Japanese officers supervising the battle suffered casualties, they finally lost the courage to resist. Except for those who were traitors, they thought that the troops surrounding them were in front of them.
It was the Anti-League, and the plainclothes team composed of traitors who knew that they would die if they were captured were still resisting. The rest of the Puppet Manchukuo military and police who were lucky enough to escape under intense firepower had already collapsed.
trend.
Seeing that the stubborn resistance of the puppet Manchukuo military and police at the foot of the mountain had collapsed, Yang Zhen immediately adjusted his deployment and took the opportunity to issue an order for a full-scale attack.
In order to avoid casualties, Yang Zhen turned his two heavy machine guns and the remaining 500 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets on the plainclothes teams who were stubbornly resisting, and suppressed these people in a small ditch.
中.As for the final treatment of these people, Yang Zhen thought about it and decided to hand them over to Peng Dingjie.
Perhaps it was because of a tacit understanding. After Yang Zhen had just issued the order to attack across the entire front, Guo Bingxun, who was on the opposite hilltop, and commanding two companies to circle back to the side, were using fierce firepower to block those who were trying to break through the blockade and escape from the Puppet Manchukuo.
Peng Dingjie of the military police issued the order to attack almost at the same time.
Seeing the opponents rushing in front of them, less than 40% were left at this time. Under the fierce firepower, the Puppet Manchukuo soldiers and policemen had completely lost their fighting spirit and raised their hands.
Putting the pistol back into the holster on his waist, Yang Zhen said to Guo Bingxun who came up to him: "Old Guo, clean the battlefield carefully. Don't let anyone go."
Guo Bingxun nodded, and after giving instructions to the two company commanders following him, he pointed with his chin at the heavy machine guns that were trapped in a small river ditch at the foot of a mountain. They had been suppressed by their heavy machine guns several times when they broke through.
After being pressed back, they could only rely on the firepower of a large number of speed machines and two crooked light machine guns equipped in their hands. They used the riverside as a fortification. The plainclothes team who was confronting Peng Dingjie who had already rushed up asked: "What should we do with those people?"
Yang Zhen turned his head to look at the traitors, then turned around and ordered Liu Changshun beside him: "Go and collect the captured grenades and send them to the political commissar. Tell the political commissar that he has full authority to deal with these traitors. The chief of staff and I will not
Intervene. And tell him not to worry about the ammunition, everything should be done to reduce casualties."
When Liu Changshun heard Yang Zhen's order, he nodded without saying a word, turned around and left to execute the order. No one hates traitors, and Liu Changshun was no exception. Moreover, he also heard what Li Mingrui reported to Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun.
Naturally, we will show no mercy to these traitors.
After Liu Changshun left, Yang Zhen took out the pocket watch that had been seized by Shiro Ishii, looked at it and said to Guo Bingxun: "It seems that the hard work of this month and a half was not in vain. The battle was not satisfactory."
"Lao Yang, don't be dissatisfied. It only took forty minutes from the time the Japanese and puppet troops entered the encirclement to the end of the battle, and not a single one of the Japanese and puppet troops slipped through the net. This is for a unit that has only been trained for a month and a half.
You can say that this is already a great achievement. You can't compare these newly formed soldiers with those veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, right?"
"Even if you catch a few hundred pigs, you won't have enough time, let alone hundreds of people with guns and cannons." Regarding Yang Zhen's unsatisfactory sentence, Guo Bingxun could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Lao Guo, I'm not dissatisfied. When I say unsatisfactory, I don't mean the results. You just saw that during the entire battle, some company and platoon commands were out of touch. After launching the charge, some necessary tactics
There are even more mistakes in its use. Tactical training for everyone, including those company and platoon leaders, needs to be strengthened."
"There is also a bit of lavish consumption of ammunition. We have no other sources of ammunition except the seizures, but during the battle just now, I carefully observed that a lot of ammunition was wasted in vain. The machine guns can't be seen firing, they are all fired
Continuous fire. However, more than one of the enemies who had been killed was still aiming their rifles and firing."
"Lao Guo, to be honest, when the Japanese and puppet troops first entered the ambush circle, I was always worried. Sixty percent of the army's recruits had never fought before, and most of the commanders at all levels were promoted by surprise.
There were not many officers who served in the original army. I was always worried that someone would lose their composure and shoot before the main force of the Japanese came in, exposing our tactical intentions."
"Don't talk about others, even Liu Changshun next to me is a little out of control. If I hadn't been suppressing him, I'm afraid this kid would have attacked first."
"When I say unsatisfactory, I mean these shortcomings that were exposed. One and a half months of training only turned the troops into a blank. As for training them into a group of qualified soldiers, we still have a long way to go."
"In order to reduce casualties, I maximized the use of firepower to kill the enemy. But we cannot instill in the soldiers the idea of relying on firepower to solve problems. The reason why we solved the battle so quickly today is that we achieved tactical surprise.
The Japanese and puppet troops were caught off guard."
"Secondly, although we were evenly matched with the Japanese and puppet troops in terms of firepower allocation, we achieved a concentrated deployment of firepower. Only then did we rely on intensive firepower to defeat the Japanese and puppet troops. These two points are the key to our success today.
The most fundamental factor for our victory."
"If the soldiers rely on firepower to solve problems, it will not be beneficial to us in the long run. First, even if we are concentrating firepower, the gap is still huge compared with the Japanese regular troops. Second, we do not have
The ability to produce ammunition, all ammunition depends on capture. We do not have this basis to compete with the Japanese and puppet troops."
"The reason why I didn't skimp on the use of ammunition was because I was worried that the troops were not well trained and that fighting the Japanese and puppet troops would bring a lot of casualties. This battle was also the first battle. I tried my best to get the maximum results with the minimum casualties. It was important to encourage the troops.
It’s good for morale. Don’t be so lavish next time.”
Hearing this, Guo Bingxun nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. In this battle, basically all the ammunition we carried was used up. The recruits still don't know how to control the rhythm of ammunition use, and the veterans are all from miscellaneous brands.
You're used to it, this time you give the order to destroy the enemy with firepower as much as possible, and you'll be able to beat them to your heart's content."
Having said this, Guo Bingxun looked at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield and said: "Fortunately, in addition to replenishing consumption, the ammunition we captured in this battle should also have some reserves. As for weapons, the few companies that are still unarmed can also use them.
It’s all packed together.”
"As for the problems that have arisen in this battle of the army, we have to take our time. After all, it is rare to be able to organize the army to what it is now in one and a half months. It is not a good thing to encourage the army to grow. They still need time to train."
After listening to Guo Bingxun's words, Yang Zhen was about to say something, but he didn't expect that the topic was interrupted by the people brought by Xiao Huzi.
Looking at the few people in front of him who were in ragged clothes, with unkempt beards, and who looked like they were severely malnourished, Yang Zhen whispered instructions to Xiao Huzi, and then walked over to these people who were looking at him with doubts and confusion.
in front of people.
One of the people brought by Xiao Huzi walked up to Yang Zhen and saluted a less than standard military salute, and then said: "We are the troops of the Fourth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and I am Li Yanping, the commander of the Fourth Army.
Thank you very much for your help for our army in times of crisis. I don’t know what kind of team your department is, and which mountain top commander are you from?"
It was obvious that the anti-Japanese general regarded Yang Zhen's subordinates as the gangsters of the mountain forest team, so he asked such a question.
