The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 506 The First Battle of the Advanced Cavalry Company ([-])

……

Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company, after receiving the specific combat mission given to him by Kong Jie, from the initial excitement, to the dignified, and then to the silence at this moment.

Old Sun is having a headache now.

He originally thought that the mission assigned to him by the head of the cavalry company this time was to assist the main ambush troops to harass the Japanese and puppet troops from the flanks or back.

Fortunately, the regiment leader chose the location of the ambush directly on this plain terrain, and placed the key point of whether he could destroy the more than 3000 Japanese and puppet troops this time on his cavalry company.

When setting off, Kong Jie, who arranged tasks for the cavalry company, said calmly:

"At the previous military meeting, I proposed to put the operation of annihilating the two invading Japanese brigades and the puppet regiments on the plains in the middle.

Several battalion commanders all expressed doubts, thinking that fighting the devils in this place, the Japanese army is very likely to take advantage of artillery fire and use the dozens of artillery they carry to start a positional battle with us, and the situation will be unfavorable to us. "

"But as I said, only in this place can we hope to wipe out the Japanese and puppet reinforcements."

"What you are worried about is the devil's artillery squadron. Don't worry, after the battle starts, you don't need to worry about the artillery squadron. I will hand it over to Sun Desheng. Their cavalry company can handle it well. I will destroy the devil's artillery for you as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Kong Jie paused, "But if they fail to destroy them immediately, even if the fortifications are built in advance, the first battalion and the second battalion will definitely fall into the next positional battle.

Not to mention the elimination of this Japanese and puppet army at that time, after the two sides fell into a fierce battle, with the help of the Japanese army's absolute superiority in artillery and strength, the first and second battalions may even be at risk of being severely damaged. "

"In the final analysis, Old Sun, the outcome of this battle depends on your cavalry company, or your semi-mechanized heavy troops."

Kong Jie did not say some things.

Didn't you, Sun Desheng, clamor for war all day long?

Right now, I will fight the battle for you, and fight the most important battle for you.

"I won't talk about how to command the cavalry. Old Sun, you and Chen Dalian have discussed it yourself. I think you two are more familiar with cavalry tactical command than I am."

"I have only one request. After the battle begins, your cavalry troops must destroy the devil's artillery positions for me before the first and second battalions are attacked by Japanese artillery fire."

"Yes!"

Sun Desheng, who had always been fearless, had to bite the bullet and agree this time.

After returning to the company, Sun Desheng found the cavalry company instructor Chen Dalian anxiously.

After explaining the matter, Sun Desheng said helplessly: "Old Chen, that's the case. This time, the burden on our cavalry company has become heavier."

Chen Dalian smiled and said, "Old Sun, you are the one who clamors every day to lead comrades to fight. Now that the head of the regiment has assigned the task, why are you scared in the end?"

Sun Desheng touched his half-light head, and said with a sigh of relief: "Afraid? I, Sun Desheng, are not afraid of death! I am just afraid that if our cavalry company fails to destroy the artillery positions of the devils in the first place, the comrades of the first and second battalions will suffer a lot of casualties." It cannot be avoided."

"If I can't complete the task this time, I will have no face to continue working in the cavalry company in the future."

Chen Dalian said: "Old Sun, it's useless to say anything now, we can only fight. After our cavalry company merged with the motorized troops in the regiment, we have been training for a long time now. This is our first battle. , You must play well."

"Let's plan carefully and see how this battle should be fought."

Sun Desheng nodded, he couldn't think too much about it when it came to an end, let him go to hell with any bad situation, at worst, my grandson was the first to die on the battlefield.

So, after Shen Quan and Wang Leihu marched with two battalions of soldiers.

The cavalry company has faster feet, so it takes one step first.

Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian rushed to the middle of the plain area. Although they were quite familiar with this area, they still checked the surrounding terrain and features again.

After the investigation, Chen Dalian and Sun Desheng discussed countermeasures.

Chen Dalian said: "Old Sun, the Japanese and puppet troops are rushing from Yangquan to Ping'an County this time, passing through the plains in the middle, they are probably advancing in a southwest direction."

"Assaulting the infantry positions with strong firepower, well-equipped, and ready to fight from the front is purely courting death."

"As usual, our cavalry company still has to attack from the wings and back."

"Since the focus of this battle is whether our cavalry company can take the lead in destroying the devil's artillery position, then the troops of the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander can fully cooperate with our cavalry company's actions.

I suggest that the blocking fortifications of the [-]st and [-]nd Battalions be placed in the front section of this plain. "

"That is to say, shortly after the Japanese army entered this plain terrain from the mouth of this valley, they would start a fire confrontation with the first and second battalions."

"In this way, we can reach the back of the Japanese puppet army directly from the two wings to the valley entrance. At this time, the Japanese puppet army is not too far away from the valley entrance, about 800 meters away. With the cavalry's short burst of charging speed, they can sprint over in a short time."

Sun Desheng nodded and signaled Chen Dalian to continue. In terms of tactical command, Sun Desheng knew that he was inferior to the instructor Chen Dalian.

What he is better at is to make all the soldiers of the cavalry company execute the battle plan perfectly.

Chen Dalian continued: "According to the combination of our cavalry company and the motorized unit, which is the prototype of the semi-mechanized heavy-armored unit mentioned by the regiment leader, it will be divided into four teams this time, as in the usual training. , containment team, firepower team, and reserve team."

Sun Desheng interjected and said, "Old Chen, once this battle starts, we must destroy the devil's artillery positions in the shortest possible time. If we don't have time to make preparations, the reserve team will be cancelled!"

Chen Dalian nodded and said, "Yes, then the reserve team will be canceled and divided into three teams."

"Old Sun, I think so. According to our battle plan this time, the first battalion and the second battalion will start a positional battle with the Japanese army in the first half of this plain terrain. The Japanese and puppet troops will be trapped here The middle area of ​​the first half of the plain terrain."

"The devils are also worried that they will be ambushed if they are too close to the mountains on both sides, so most of them will place their fortifications in the middle of this flat terrain, so that they can fight positional warfare and use their firepower to either repel the enemy or hold out until reinforcements arrival."

"What we have to do is, after the Japanese puppet army exchanged fire with the first battalion and the second battalion, take advantage of the fact that the Japanese puppet army's attention is all attracted to the positive direction."

"The stormtroopers are composed of light cavalry from our cavalry company. They can explode at a very fast speed within a short distance. They are used to break through the fortifications that the Japanese army put at the end and guard the rear artillery."

"After the stormtroopers launched an attack, the containment team followed up from both sides at the same time, covering the stormtroopers' attack with machine gun fire and [-] small artillery."

"At this time, the attention of the Japanese army will be divided into two parts, which will be placed in the direction of the first battalion and the second battalion, and the direction of our stormtroopers."

"This plain is roughly rectangular, and the distance between the two sides is much smaller. Our firepower troops will ambush in the valleys on both sides of the plain in advance, and then divide it into two parts, from the left and right flanks of the Japanese and puppet troops, to horses and planes." Tactics, attacking the artillery positions of the Japanese army."

"In this way, if the troops of the first and second battalions are joined together to form a four-sided attack, the Japanese army's formation will definitely be in chaos. , pull apart the skirmisher line, launch a general offensive, and wipe out this Japanese and puppet army in one fell swoop, it may not be impossible."

Compared with Chen Dalian, Sun Desheng is not good at formulating tactics, but he can still distinguish the good from the bad of the tactics themselves.

After Chen Dalian's thoughts were finished, Sun Desheng agreed immediately: "There is nothing to say, Lao Chen, this tactic is good and can mobilize all our troops. I would like to see it too. The cavalry and mechanized troops we have trained for so long Combat power after combination."

"There is no time to delay, we will discuss the specific tactical cooperation plan with the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander."

"it is good!"

……

……

Surrounded by mountains and valleys on almost all sides, the obstructed strong wind blows into this gentle area through the gap between the mountains, and there is not much power left. It spreads on this plain terrain and blows The green grass swayed back and forth.

Considering that the war in Ping'an County is critical, the Japanese and puppet troops who came from Yangquan to support them rushed all the way.

At about [-]:[-] in the morning, I finally arrived at the rare plain between the mountains in the middle section of Ping'an County and Yangquan.

Two devil captains, Hideo Murai and Nobuyoshi Mishima, led the troops along the way.

As mentioned earlier, before completely entering this plain area between the mountains, the two captains of the devils also vowed that the Eighth Route Army would never dare to ambush in this plain area.

However, out of caution, after entering the valley, the two old devils swept the entire plain under the protection of the guards.

In addition to entering the summer, after several spring rains, the grass grew crazily and could already drown the ankles of the grass swaying with the wind, and I didn't see anything else.

"Yaoxi, move on." Nobuyoshi Mishima gave the order.

And just 700 meters away, there is a gentle slope on the right wing that is slightly undulating.

Close to the back side of the gentle slope, after Shen Quan led the second battalion to arrive early, he quickly dug a shallower and wider trench. The soldiers crawled in the trench one by one, lowered their bodies, and with the help of the grass covered their backs, Covering up, he successfully avoided the detection of the Japanese army.

On the left wing, the commander of the first battalion also led the main force of the first battalion to ambush.

As time went by, the speed of the ghost puppet army eager to support Ping'an County was not slow. The puppet army was at the forefront and soon approached the position set up by Shen Quan and Wang Leihu, less than 300 meters away.

The distance of 300 meters is actually not that close. Looking at a standing person from a distance, due to the narrowing of the angle of view, it is only as big as a palm.

The devils and puppet troops were still unaware of the Eighth Route Army soldiers lurking in the dark.

Until the two sides are close to less than 150 meters.

Shen Quan and Wang Leihu knew that they couldn't wait any longer. If they went any further, they would easily be spotted by the devil's scouts. The first battalion and the second battalion did not bring all the troops, and each battalion only had about [-] troops. Considering the large number of people, it is easier to be exposed when lurking.

If the contact distance between the two sides is too close, the fire blocking distance left for the soldiers of the first battalion and the second battalion will be too close.

If the Japanese and puppet troops forcefully launch a charge with their superior forces, they will easily break through the defensive positions of the first battalion and the second battalion.

Even if the Japanese and puppet troops can be repelled, most of them will be a miserable victory, killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred.

"beat--"

The judgments of the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander were exactly the same, and the order to fire was sounded almost at the same time.

The soldiers who had been ambushing on the left and right flanks for a long time, opened fire immediately, and the bullets they fired formed a dense cross-fire network, shooting towards the Japanese and puppet troops from the flanks with a small deflection angle.

The sudden ambush caught the puppet troops in the first row by surprise. On this flat plain, who would have thought that there were such a large number of Eighth Route Army lurking in it?
The grass-covered soldiers armed with machine guns and rifles suddenly opened fire, and the bullets flew over. The Japanese and puppet troops didn't even notice the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army at the first moment.

The dense bullets were fired, and the leading puppet army fell down.

The firepower struck from the flanks also caused some casualties to the Japanese army advancing behind the puppet army.

"Enemy attack, lie down, counterattack!"

Nobuyoshi Mishima and Hideo Murai were the first to lie down on the ground in the roar, raised their arms, and raised their command swords to give orders.

In this flat terrain where bullets can fly almost from head to tail, only lying down on the ground and shooting prone can save lives to the greatest extent.

The devils of the two brigades reacted extremely quickly. The well-trained devils quickly opened a certain distance, crawled on the grass in unison, and arranged their formations, staggering their positions so that all the bullets could shoot in the direction of the enemy. In the past, so as not to accidentally hurt one's own people.

The puppet army who was suddenly hit was a little flustered, and immediately fled to the left and right wings. When they recovered, they also prostrated themselves on the ground.

It's just that when the battle broke out suddenly, the position of the puppet soldiers was a bit awkward, just caught between the firepower of the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army.

Hideo Murai and Nobuyoshi Mishima looked at each other, and there was shock in their eyes. These dirt roads dared to block this flat area, it was extremely rampant.

As soon as the two sides fought, Nobuyoshi Mishima and Hideo Murai immediately judged that the strength of the Eighth Route Army was not as large as they had imagined.

Hideo Murai ordered: "Prepare grenades, drop smoke bombs, cover the infantry's counterattack, and the artillery will take advantage of the mechanism to build artillery positions, and wipe out all the Eighth Route Army, leaving no one behind."

Hideo Murai's words were very cold. He was annoyed and contemptuous of the Eighth Route Army who dared to ambush here.

Hideo Murai and Nobuyoshi Mishima originally thought that if the Eighth Route Army ambushed midway, it must be in the mountains according to common sense.

Now it actually appears here.

Tubalu, who doesn't know how to live or die, is just blocking the car with his arms.

Since you dare to foolishly carry out an ambush here, you should have the consciousness of being destroyed...
