The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 586
I wanted to use the rumor that the Eighth Route Army swam without fighting.

As a result, Kong Jie slapped him in the face with evidence.

The officer of the Jinsui Army who was clamoring at the beginning stopped talking. If the situation didn't allow it, he wished to escape from this place in despair.

He was complaining in his heart: What is this called by the Central Army?Still thinking about pouring dirty water on the Eighth Route Army, they already have the evidence at hand!

Back in front of him, Kong Jie showed the open-mindedness that a host should have in hospitality, and changed the subject with a smile: "Brother Chu, and fellow commanders, the military exercise in front of us has already started, let's focus on this military exercise." Let's practice!"

Not far away, in the area where the Eastern Army and the Western Army simulated combat exercises, the simulated combat between the two sides has officially kicked off.

The Eastern Army's simulated Japanese squadron occupied the commanding heights of the hill and blocked the enemy with powerful firepower.

The Western Army simulated the Eighth Route Army troops attacking upwards, with the purpose of taking down the Japanese positions.

"Brother Chu thinks, after this battle, will the Eastern Army or the Western Army win?"

Kong Jie asked with a smile while watching the simulated combat situation on the viewing platform.

Chu Yunfei slowly put down the binoculars, pondered for a moment, and replied: "If the Western Army had gunfire in their hands, the battle would be much easier. With the Eastern Army already trapped on the top of the mountain and losing mobility, The outcome is almost set."

Shen Quan on the side laughed.

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "Oh, Battalion Commander Shen thinks what Chu said is inappropriate?"

Shen Quan replied: "Commander Chu, you are used to having a great career. At this moment, the Western Army is simulating the overall equipment situation of our Eighth Route Army. Let alone the artillery to attack the Japanese army positions, the bullets in the soldiers' pockets are all Can't hold a few."

"Using artillery to destroy the Japanese positions is simply impossible."

Chu Yunfei suddenly said: "There is no artillery to attack, no reinforcements, and the equipment is far inferior to the Eastern Army, which represents the Japanese squadron. It is difficult for the Western Army to win this simulation exercise!"

An officer of the Jinsui Army said: "This is more than difficult. In my opinion, it is impossible to win. If the Western Army rushed forward blindly, it might even be wiped out on the mountain by this group of Japanese troops."

In this regard, Yang Chongshan, head of the 57th regiment, also expressed doubts: "Brother Kong, in this military simulation show, the Eastern Army and the Western Army are similar in strength, but the difference in equipment is too large. Absolute firepower and terrain advantage."

"Isn't such a simulation of both sides a bit unfair?"

Kong Jie smiled wryly and said, "Brother Zhongshan, has there ever been a fairness on this battlefield? If it is true, before the war, the little devils should divide their equipment into half of our Eighth Route Army."

Yang Chongshan was startled for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh.

Kong Jie said: "Wars are never fair. This military exercise is to simulate how our Eighth Route Army would actually deal with the Japanese army."

"If the Western Army, which represents our Eighth Route Army, is defeated, it should also understand how it will suffer in combat when it faces a Japanese army with far superior equipment, so as to learn valuable experience in fighting the Japanese army."

"If the Eastern Army, which represents the Japanese Army, wins, the soldiers should also understand that when fighting against our Eighth Route Army, the little devil has more sophisticated artillery equipment, what kind of combat methods will be used, and what kind of psychology will he have? "

"After this exercise is over, in the next exercise, I will have the Eastern Army and the Western Army switch positions for simulated combat."

"The soldiers must try their best to know themselves and the enemy in order to increase the possibility of victory."

Yang Chongshan nodded heavily, secretly admiring what he heard.

Chu Yunfei also expressed emotion: "Brother Kong is really far-sighted, and a military simulation exercise can also think of such a far-reaching situation."

Kong Jie sighed bitterly: "There is no way, who told our Eighth Route Army that grandma doesn't love each other, and uncle doesn't love us, so we can only think about it ourselves."

"Since swords are inferior to humans, we can only find ways to make swordsmanship stronger than humans."

"Swords are not as good as humans, but swordsmanship is worse than humans! Well said!" Chu Yunfei clapped his hands, full of praise.

Amidst the sound of emotion, everyone's eyes once again focused on the mountain of the combat exercise.

The Eastern Army representing the Japanese squadron on the top of the mountain is very shrewd.

After occupying the commanding heights and building fortifications, the Eastern Army turned its position forward, corresponding to the gentler slope of the Western Army, and cut down all the trees within 200 meters down to clear the shooting area.

In this way, the firepower advantage in the hands of the Eastern Army can be brought into full play to the greatest extent, and the open impact zone in front of them can be blocked with intensive firepower.

Chu Yunfei nodded frequently while watching, and said: "The Eastern Army's approach is very consistent with the Japanese army's usual combat methods."

"After this area of ​​shooting is cleared, it will be very difficult for the Western Army to break through the position, and there is no artillery to attack the fortifications. Rushing forward will only become a living target."

"The Japanese army will never allow the enemy to approach the position easily."

Amidst Chu Yunfei's analysis, the Western Army launched an offensive on the simulated combat mountain.

A platoon of 36 soldiers from the Western Army opened up the skirmish line and gradually approached the Japanese position under the cover of trees.

Under the leadership of the platoon leader, the soldiers first crawled forward, and then took advantage of the gap between the Eastern Army's firepower and used the pits, tree pits, and tree roots on the open ground that the Eastern Army had swept across the firing range as cover, and with decisive and swift movements, Jump from one cover to another.

The Eastern Army is continuing to fire:
The wooden lump grenades prepared for this simulated battle were flying all over the sky, and it hurt to hit the head.

The exercise assessor who follows the battlefield will judge the casualties of the Western Army based on the position where the grenade landed and exploded.

The drill rifle produced by the repair shop for training recruits is specially used to fire blank ammunition.

This blank bomb is very simple to make. It is a shell case recovered by soldiers on the battlefield. It contains a small amount of fast-burning propellant, and then uses some wood or cardboard shell as the warhead.

The range is short and the power is low, but it hurts when hit on the body, and it can make the simulated soldiers feel the oppression of live ammunition on the battlefield.

Amidst the hail of bullets, the soldiers avoided round after round of blocking fire with almost textbook-style touching movements, and smoothly advanced 50 meters.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfei was amazed again and again: "Brother Kong, these soldiers really only trained for a month?"

Kong Jie laughed and said, "One month and two days, one extra day counts as Kong Jie talking nonsense."

"Amazing! Your independent regiment's training for recruits is really eye-opening," Chu Yunfei praised, holding a blank bomb in his hand and looking at it.

Kong Jie explained: "In order to simulate the actual combat environment of fighting for guns on the real battlefield, this is a specially manufactured blank shell, which is reassembled from the shell casings recovered from the battlefield."

"Of course, the number is very small. Our Eighth Route Army's family is too thin. Even these recycled empty shell casings are reluctant to waste. Although the performance of the reassembled bullets is far inferior to the original bullets, it is still better than no bullets, right?"

"This simulated exercise is only a symbolic firing of some empty shells. Most of the time, only the sound of killing is heard, and there is no fire."

Chu Yunfei nodded, still focusing on the exercise not far away.

As a bystander with clear eyes, Chu Yunfei naturally saw it at a glance:

"The platoon that is entering at the moment should be a feint attack, and the other two attacks that are slightly behind in distance should be preparing to attack from the flank."

"A feint attack all the way to attract the firepower of the Japanese army's position head-on, and the other two roundabout surprise attacks. Although it is a conventional tactic, it is also the best choice to take down the Japanese army's position at the moment."

"More importantly, the actions of the fighters of these three teams are quite coordinated. This kind of execution ability is not like a recruit at all."

While commenting, Chu Yunfei continued to observe the situation on the battlefield with a telescope.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to be interested in something, and instructed Kong Jie:
"Interesting, brother Kong, I misjudged it. I thought that the other two lines were going to attack from the flanks, but you see, the troops on the right side actually found another way. A group of soldiers headed towards the cliff where the Japanese army was leaning against. Backtracked, what are you trying to do?"

Kong Jie was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked over with the binoculars. Just like what Chu Yunfei said, the platoon on the right wing who was in charge of the detour seemed not to be prepared to make a move according to the conventional routine.

Strange, why does the kid at the front look a bit like Duan Peng?

...on the battlefield of the exercise.

After half a month of training from the Sharp Knife Company of the Second Battalion and then returning to the Recruit Company, Duan Peng served as the squad leader of the first platoon.

The current exercise is in accordance with the order of the seventh company commander.

In order to take down the Eastern Army (Japanese Army), the second row launched a feint attack from the front to attract the opponent's firepower, and then the first row made a roundabout attack from the right wing, and the third row made a roundabout attack from the left wing. The two sides attacked at the same time according to the agreed time , Breaking through the Eastern Army's position in one fell swoop.

In this regard, the second and third platoons followed the orders honestly.

Arriving at the first row, the leader of the first row, Zhao Dachun, led Duan Peng and his party. They planned to make a surprise attack on the Japanese position after they planned to turn around from the right wing according to the order.

On the way, Duan Peng, the squad leader, suddenly said to Zhao Dachun:
"Platoon leader, I think it won't work for us to make a surprise attack like this."

Zhao Dachun was stunned: "Why doesn't it work?"

Duan Peng said: "Platoon leader, according to our previous reconnaissance, the Eastern Army has cleared the shooting area facing our attack direction. Even if we raid from the two wings, we will still be discovered by the Eastern Army when we reach the open shooting zone."

"Rushing up like this, the chances of winning are not great. Even if we can win the position, the Eastern Army is imitating a Japanese squadron with strong firepower, and our casualties will not be small."

"Didn't you always say that we don't do business at a loss?"

Zhao Dachun said helplessly: "I know what you said, and the company commander also expected that we will be exposed in advance if we turn around from the two wings, but there is no other way right now, the Eastern Army has occupied the commanding heights and cleared the shooting circle.

Only our side of this mountain is suitable for attacking, and we can only use this method, even if it is regardless of the cost, we must win the Eastern Army's position. "

"You know this exercise, not only the regiment leader, but also all the officers of the Jinsui Army watched. Our Western Army represents our Eighth Route Army troops, so we must not lose this man."

"Rush from the right side of the attack. This is an order from the company commander himself. Even if it doesn't work, it must work!"

Duan Peng thought for a while and said, "Platoon leader, how about this, you hand over the first squad to me, and I will take the first squad to touch the mountain from the back, and you will continue to lead other comrades to flank the raid."

Zhao Dachun was startled, stared and said: "Duan Peng, you kid can't mess around, the company commander ordered you to attack from the flank, can you disobey the order?"

"Besides, the mountain on the back side is steep, and no one can go up at all. It's just a drill right now. You take the soldiers to take risks. If an accident happens when you fall, who will be responsible?"

Duan Peng said stubbornly: "Platoon leader, the battalion commander said during the exercise that this exercise completely simulates actual combat, so let's treat it as a real combat."

"If it's a real battle right now, taking a little risk can avoid the sacrifice of more of our comrades, so why not?"

Looking at Duan Peng's firm expression and the soldier he brought out with his own hands, Zhao Dachun hesitated.

"The mountains on the back and side are steep, and it is difficult to get on people. Duan Peng, do you have a plan in your mind?"

Duan Peng said: "Don't worry, the platoon leader. Usually, when I train with the comrades in the first class, I often practice rock climbing. This is a necessary skill for scouts when I was studying in the Sharp Knife Company. We have confidence!"

"Yes, platoon leader, we have confidence!" The soldiers of the first group followed Duan Peng and replied firmly.

"Platoon leader, let us try. I will be responsible for anything that happens."

Zhao Dachun cursed immediately: "Stinky boy, trying to take credit for me is not going to work? Why are you in charge? It was my idea to let your group surprise attack right now. Even if the sky falls, I will still stand up for it!"

"Okay, okay, don't ink, I have to launch a surprise attack here, hurry up!"

"Platoon leader, we still need grenades, can you give us some of your grenades?" Duan Peng said.

Zhao Dachun gritted his teeth, "Here, let's keep only one grenade each, and give the rest to the first class."

That's 24 grenades.

Before leaving, Zhao Dachun patted Duan Peng on the shoulder and said: "Duan Peng, you have made a note of it, you have to bring back a lot of soldiers for me. Also, you are only allowed to succeed, not to fail!"

"Yes, please rest assured, platoon leader, I promise to complete the task!"

Duan Peng solemnly saluted Zhao Dachun, and then led a group of soldiers into the forest...
