The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 338 The Battle of the Commanders is Over
The reaction of the squadron leader of the Japanese army was not unpleasant, and the defensive deployment he issued was quite appropriate.

Unfortunately, after all, he overestimated the combat power of his own side, while underestimating the firepower of Ding Wei and his party.

After all, there are only six NO.70 Japanese soldiers.

What these Japanese and puppet troops are facing is not a three-pronged attack.

It is a new regiment with strong soldiers and horses and well-equipped equipment.

Ding Wei's tactics of concentrating his forces, advancing from the front and turning around on both sides, were clearly in front of him.

He didn't expect to hide from the little devil's investigation either.

The terrain in front of us was too open, and the detoured teams on both sides could not escape the sight of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Then proceed in an aboveboard manner.

I just want to tell you little devil, I will surround you and eat you in one bite.

In terms of tactical command, Ding Wei has always been a bold master.

After the firepower confrontation between the two sides began, the advantages of the frontal assault troops deployed by Ding Wei and the team assault tactics of the three-three system were immediately revealed.

This three-three system of team assault tactics is applicable to the environment where the enemy's firepower is already known, and the assault tactics are carried out.

Judging from a partial small triangle offensive formation.

When attacking with a triangle formation.

The temporary commander, that is, the squad leader or team leader, is located at the rear of the triangle, and the two soldiers are located at the front of the triangle.

And three such small triangle formations form a large offensive echelon.

In other words, a team of nine people, with less than one squad of fighters, can use this triangular squad formation to cover an offensive front of nearly 100 meters.

If there are 27 fighters, and an attack group is formed by three people, a total of nine attack groups can be formed, that is, nine small combat groups.

Once fully deployed, it can even cover an offensive front 800 meters wide.

Although there are not many people, once the offensive formation is formed, it can oppress the enemy just from the momentum.

In addition, each three-person combat team has a well-defined division of labor.

Attack, cover, support.

Just like Kong Jie, Ding Wei, and Li Yunlong, why did they propose an independent regiment, the new first regiment and the new second regiment to form a triangular defense system.

It is also similar to what is in front of you.

Between battle groups, between triangle attack teams and triangle attack teams, if they can achieve an orderly pace, coordinate attacks, cover each other, and support each other.

Even if the assault team is launched, the overall number of people is not large.

The combat power that can be displayed is absolutely impossible for the enemy to ignore.

Scattered formation, orderly attack.

If the Japanese and puppet troops do not stop them, once the leading triangular attack team reaches the range.

The offensive team can immediately start a fire confrontation with the Japanese and puppet troops, and cover the follow-up troops to move forward.

The fully launched offensive of hundreds of meters covered it in one fell swoop, and the Japanese and puppet troops who were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength could not hold it back at all.

Once trapped in a new group of encirclement, the little devil will be completely finished.

However, if the Japanese and puppet troops wanted to use artillery fire to stop the three-three squads on the Xinyi regiment's side from rushing into the group, they would have to stop them.

Nor is it easy.

The reason is simple and crude.

The team's offensive tactics of the three-three system are on this open offensive line.

The soldiers are quite scattered among individuals.

Coupled with the three-person team advancing forward from the Xinyi Regiment, there are always observers on guard against the Japanese artillery strikes.

Once the devil's artillery shells were thrown, the team members scattered and hid for the first time, and continued to move forward when the devil's artillery fire ceased.

To use an image metaphor, the new group of soldiers facing the Japanese puppet army at this moment is like a group of mosquitoes with a small number but a rather domineering formation.

The only thing that the Japanese and puppet troops can threaten these mosquitoes is the artillery at hand.

Hitting mosquitoes with a cannon may not be effective, but if you don't hit them, the mosquitoes will bite you.

Are you going to fight or not?

Although the squadron leader of the Japanese army was hesitant, he didn't want to run away, return to the county, be punished by the military law, and finally made the decision to fight.

A team leader said: "Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, the Eighth Route Army has already started to move. It is obvious that they are trying to attract our firepower from the front, turn around from the two wings, and surround our troops."

"It's just that the distance between the two sides is too far now. Visually, there are still about 800 meters, which is completely beyond the effective range of machine guns, rifles, and grenadiers."

"I suggest trying to fire two rounds with the captured mountain cannon."

The squadron leader of the Japanese army nodded and said, "Yo Xi, just shoot the soldiers like this, first aim at the attacking Eighth Route Army troops, and fire two shots."

"Hi!"

boom-

The command of the squadron leader of the Japanese army was issued, and two 75mm mountain artillery shells were fired directly on the open flat ground in the distance.

The distance between the two sides was too far. The two artillery shells were directed by the devil's artillery scouts after observing them through the range-finding telescope.

With such a long distance, the angle of view is very small. Even the leader of the Devil Squadron had to raise the telescope in his hand to observe the specific situation of the Xinyi regiment after being bombarded.

After a while, the leader of the Devil Squadron put down the binoculars, his face was a little ugly: "Baga, two shells were wasted for nothing, and not even a single enemy was killed!"

The adjutant said helplessly: "Your Excellency, the squadron leader, the distance is too far, and the hit rate of the shells is very low. In addition, the offensive formation used by the Eighth Route Army is really weird. The teams are quite scattered, and the distance between individuals is even more than 20 meters.

Let's bring the enemy a little closer and fight again! "

The squadron leader of the Japanese army nodded, and carefully calculated according to the effective range of the [-]-type grenadier, the [-]-type rifle, and the crooked light machine gun:

"That's the only way to go, order the artillery observers to continue to measure the distance, and control the distance between the attacking Eighth Route Army and our side."

"After bringing the Eighth Route Army on the front and the two wings closer to a distance of 600 meters, the firepower of light machine guns can try to burst, and after the distance of 500 meters, the firepower of grenade can be blocked.

After entering 400 meters, all rifle firepower can be shot together, and it is necessary to block the offensive pace of the Eighth Route Army.

Let these hateful Eighth Route Army fall to me one by one on the way to charge. "

"Hi!"

At this moment, the squadron leader of the Japanese army did not dare to clamor anymore. After bringing the new regiment closer, the two sides would fight head-to-head again.

……

However, the devil squadron leader probably overlooked a problem.

His little devil has a grenade, the new group also has a grenade, his little devil has a crooked target, a mountain cannon, the new one also has a crooked handle, and a Czech style, plus the seized 75 mm mountain gun.

This means that when the Japanese puppet army blocked the Xinyi regiment with firepower, the Xinyi regiment could also attack the Japanese puppet army with firepower.

And why didn't the Japanese squadron leader consider this issue?

On the one hand, it was because he believed that the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was backward according to his inherent concept.

It is not even comparable to the fleeing national army in front of them, and it is definitely not as good as the imperial army in terms of firepower.

On the other hand, it was a small trick secretly used by Ding Wei.

When letting the soldiers move forward, try to hide some grenades and light machine guns with their bodies and carry them behind their backs.

In addition, I deliberately revealed some of the weapon configuration for the little devil to see.

So the situation observed from the telescope of the Japanese army.

The attacking Eighth Route Army troops had few light machine guns and very few grenade launchers.

The mountain cannon seized from the national army was temporarily hidden behind a higher gentle slope by the soldiers of the new regiment to avoid the sight of the devils' detection.

Ding Wei also ordered to keep a squad of soldiers, plus a few artillerymen, to operate the mountain cannon and provide long-range firepower.

Because the range of this mountain cannon is far enough, even if it is hidden behind this gentle slope, when it needs to be used, it can drop the shells on the area where the Japanese and puppet troops are located at any time.

In addition, Xinyituan has another huge advantage.

When both sides reached within the range of each other's firepower, the two sides started a firepower confrontation.

For the Xinyi Regiment, because it is a three-three team assault tactic.

The soldiers are quite scattered among each other, which can effectively avoid the concentrated firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops.

As for the devils and the puppet army, they are not as powerful as the Xinyi regiment.

Therefore, the leader of the devil squadron gathered the forces of the Japanese and puppet troops and carried out defensive operations in a relatively concentrated area.

In this way, once the two sides start to engage in firepower, the situation will be quite clear.

The same gunfire and bullets fired at each other.

On the side of the devils and puppet troops, they are fighting a new group of offensive troops that is in motion and relatively scattered.

On the Xinyi Regiment's side, it was the relatively concentrated Japanese and puppet troops who concentrated their firepower to attack.

It can even carry out concentrated fire coverage on the Japanese and puppet troops.

This is naturally a considerable advantage.

Ding Wei, who was commanding from the rear, realized that the Japanese and puppet troops had temporarily ceased fire, and seemed to want to put the soldiers of the new regiment within range, and then conduct a blocking fire.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth immediately, and the little devil was really fooled.

In order to form the final firepower confrontation advantage.

Ding Wei drew out the shell gun in his waist and fired two shots into the air. Using the sound of the gun as a signal, he urged the soldiers on the two wings to turn around and rush forward with the front.

It is necessary to launch an attack before the Japanese and puppet troops see through their own strategy.

Time passed bit by bit, and the brows of the commanders on both sides were furrowed.

Not long after Ding Wei gave the order under the sound of gunfire.

The soldiers of the new regiment completely entered the effective range of the Japanese puppet army's firepower.

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, the Eighth Route Army is less than 600 meters away from our army, and our machine guns are ready to fire." The adjutant said.

The leader of the Devil Squadron nodded, "Yaoxi, fire!"

The Japanese and puppet troops immediately launched a machine gun offensive.

In the front direction, more than a dozen light machine guns lined up.

The Devil machine gunner crawled on the flat ground, tilted his head, put his cheek to aim and shoot.

It's just that the distance is too far, and a light machine gun with a crooked handle is used to hit a target nearly 600 meters away.

Even the devil's machine gunner, who is proficient in machine gun shooting, still has some troubles.

One by one can only attack through long bursts in an attempt to increase the hit rate.

On the side of the Xinyi Regiment, the soldiers advanced quickly according to the command of the squad and platoon leaders.

At this time, it is basically a race against time.

Because the distance is far enough, the soldiers are fast enough to avoid being exposed for too long, so as to reduce casualties as much as possible.

Not long after, the soldiers rushed into the formation in a three-three team and quickly jumped forward 200 meters.

During the charge of nearly 200 meters, the Japanese and puppet troops fired with machine guns at first, and then the grenadier fire also slammed over.

There are also some devils, even if the distance between the two sides exceeds the effective range of the [-]-type rifle in their hands, they still try to fire.

It's a pity, because the distance between the two sides is too far, coupled with the advance of the new group of soldiers, the tactics are clever, the personnel are dispersed, and the operation is fast.

The offensive of the devils and puppet troops had little effect.

The casualties on the Xinyi Regiment's side were extremely small, even negligible.

……

"Leader, it's less than 400 meters, give the order!"

First Battalion Commander Sun Zhenguo observed the situation with a telescope, and gritted his teeth.

In order to grasp the final offensive advantage, from the beginning of the attack to the present, the devils have been firing, and Xinyituan's side has been beaten unilaterally.

The first battalion commander had long held back his anger.

With a calm face, Ding Wei looked towards the direction of the Japanese puppet army, nodded, and said: "It's time, give the order, the attack begins!"

"Yes!"

Sun Zhenguo was overjoyed immediately, quickly pulled out the gun in his waist, and fired three shots in mid-air, signaling the final attack.

The sound of gunfire fell, the roundabout from the two wings, and the offensive of the new group of soldiers who were rushing forward changed immediately.

In the previous attack, even the devils and puppet troops found problems.

The Eighth Route Army in front of them seemed to be advancing wholeheartedly. Facing the firepower of the imperial troops, they didn't even launch a counterattack.

Just continue to maintain the weird formation in front of you and move forward quickly.

After Ding Wei's order was issued, the new regiment of soldiers, who were also frustrated all the way, had no hesitation, and immediately launched a fire attack on the Japanese puppet army on the spot.

The grenadiers that had been carried by the soldiers on their backs to avoid the sight of the Japanese and puppet troops were quickly removed by the soldiers, and a grenadier position was built on the spot.

A pair of light machine guns, which were also carried on their backs, were also taken down by the soldiers and set up in a suitable position to cover the infantry's charge.

While the machine gun and grenadier positions were being built.

The other fighters in charge of the assault continued to maintain the replenished three-three squad assault formation and moved forward.

Continue to oppress the living space of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The fighters on both wings continued to circle forward until the extended front was enough to completely surround the Japanese and puppet troops after closing.

The firepower confrontation between the two sides instantly entered a white-hot stage.

When the Xinyi Regiment fired a salvo of firepower, more than a dozen rounds of shells rushed towards the area of ​​the Japanese and puppet troops, covering them concentratedly.

The devil squadron leader was completely dumbfounded.

During the previous advance of the Eighth Route Army, the imperial troops only found five or six grenadiers and four or five light machine guns from the advancing Eighth Route Army.

How did the dozens of shells in front of me come all at once?
Naturally, it is impossible to kill all the devils and puppet soldiers in front of them with more than a dozen shells.

But these dozens of shells hit at once, and the firepower covered an area, not a point.

If the deployment of Japanese and puppet troops is scattered like a new attacking regiment, these artillery shells will naturally not have much effect.

But the devils and puppet troops in front of them are relatively concentrated in one area to fight.

The result can be imagined.

Although half of the dozens of shells were blown off.

The other half of the shells that successfully landed in the area where the Japanese and puppet troops were located successfully took the lives of three devils and two puppet soldiers.

However, this was just the beginning. The platoon leader commanding the grenadier to fire at the front line, seeing the success of the bombardment, shouted excitedly:

"Continue to shoot, the firepower is covered, first pick the devil's grenadier and hit the devil's grenadier, and knock down the devil's grenadier, and our grenadier will be safe!"

On the side of Xinyi Regiment, there are two grenadiers in a group, and the positions of each grenadier group are also relatively scattered to avoid being destroyed by Japanese artillery fire at once.

As for the method of bombardment, in the words of the commanding platoon leader, it is right to shoot with your eyes closed.

Anyway, the devils and puppet soldiers are staying there!
Even a blind cat can run into two dead mice.

The mountain artillery at the rear of the Xinyi Regiment was also pushed out by the soldiers from behind the gentle slope after the front-line fire offensive started, and bombarded the area where the Japanese and puppet troops were located.

Coupled with the sudden launch of the light machine gun firepower of the new regiment's attacking troops.

Although the location of each light machine gun is relatively scattered.

With a glance, machine guns were almost everywhere in this empty area.

The situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed, and the Xinyi regiment had an absolute advantage in firepower.

The Japanese commanders are in a hurry at this moment.

Facing the artillery bombardment of the Xinyi Regiment, coupled with the fire attack, the team was relatively concentrated on the side of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Even the bullets fired by the Eighth Route Army with their eyes closed could easily hit the target.

Coupled with the sudden burst of firepower from the Eighth Route Army in front of them, the Japanese and puppet troops were indeed taken aback.

The leader of the Guizi Squadron realized that he had been fooled and was deceived by the commander of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side.

The opponent definitely hid their firepower.

Facing the artillery attack of the new regiment.

The best way for the Japanese army is naturally to fight back with artillery fire.

But the new regiment's assault force was also right in front of them.

The detoured team on both wings is even more overwhelming.

Once there is no artillery fire to stop...

The leader of the Devil Squadron is not stupid. If the two wings of the Eighth Route Army succeed in detouring and encircling the imperial army, the imperial army may not be far from perishing.

The devil's artillery fire was a bit overwhelming for a while.

In the confrontation of firepower between the two sides, the Japanese and puppet troops fell into an absolute disadvantage, and casualties continued to spread.

In less than 5 minutes, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops once again lost more than one-third of their strength.

The injured devil's adjutant looked anxious: "Your Excellency, the squadron leader, the situation is not good, we are afraid that we will not be able to withstand it! Immediately ask the headquarters for tactical guidance!"

The Japanese squadron leader nodded quickly.

At this moment, how dare he take into account the previous arrogance, and even think that there is no need to ask the command for help?
"Which team of the Eighth Route Army is in front of me? The commander of the opponent's tactics is really good, and the combat effectiveness of the whole team is even more powerful."

The Japanese squadron leader couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The rapidly attacking Eighth Route Army team in front of me is different from the national army team that was about to collapse at the first touch.Formed a stark contrast.

After the commander of the Devil Squadron gave the order, the communicator immediately got in touch with the Japanese army headquarters in the direction of Taigu through the radio.

After a while, the communications soldiers came to report: "Sir, the headquarters has learned about our department's situation and ordered our department to try to make a strategic shift. The county will immediately send reinforcements to support our department."

"Transfer?"

Looking at the new regiment approaching from all directions not far away, the squadron leader of the Japanese army gave a wry smile and said: "Transfer now, once we leave our backs to these Eighth Route Army, we will be defeated faster.

Tell the headquarters that our department will stick to it with determination and wait for the reinforcements to arrive. "

"Hi!"
