The heavens start from Changjin Lake

As for why it is a triangle, it is clear that there are far fewer people.

The platoon is based on a squad, and the squad is based on a group. In terms of platooning and formation, the 51st Division is much better than other divisions. General Wang Yao's soldiers are deployed in various forward positions in combat groups. and set firepower points appropriately.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the 51st Division are among the best among the Central Army. The soldiers are all tigers and wolves, and they are quite fierce in fighting. Such improvements have given the 51st Division a local advantage over the Japanese army in terms of unit firepower.

Xia Yuanneng didn't teach much. He told the other party his accustomed combat experience. In positional warfare, he could find some veterans with high shooting skills to form a shooting team, hide in the rear, and specialize in hunting down Japanese scouts, team leaders, and commanders. Officer, grenade hand.

These units are very important among the Japanese army. Defeating them will give them a huge advantage in the subsequent battle.

After listening to Xia Yuan's words, Captain Huang put his fist on his palm, "This is a good idea. The shooting team can indeed be established. The Japanese are attacking and we are defending. As long as their commander can be killed, they will have no command. They will definitely There will be confusion to a certain extent.”

This is actually the prototype of a sniper.

Some soldiers in the army have the concept of defeating the enemy's special units, but this concept is very small when it comes to the commander. The victory of a battle is not achieved by defeating the opponent's commander, but by defeating the enemy's commander. We must win across the board.

But this concept is quite suitable for small unit operations.

Xia Yuan said: "But we must ensure one thing, that is, we must not expose ourselves. We must learn to hide ourselves, move around the position, and take advantage of the trenches to shoot at the enemy."

Captain Huang thought about it and nodded. If such a shooting team can perform miraculous effects, it will inevitably be attacked by the Japanese army, so it must hide itself well.

But, can such a shooting team really work?

Can you, always give it a try? The shooting team that Xia Yuan mentioned is indeed capable of attacking. Think about it, if you put together several experienced veterans in the company, the lineup will indeed be strong enough. The only drawback is that each team has Without veterans, the squad's combat capabilities will be much worse.

The two chatted for a while, and then they talked about fighting Japanese invaders. Captain Huang said, "I know that you are very good at fighting Japanese soldiers. I have never seen how powerful you are. I must see you if you have the chance."

Xia Yuan smiled and said nothing. He always felt that they were putting on a show by beating up the Japanese.

When I first led this company, I was pestered every day to see how good I was.

But he can't worry about it.

At this moment, the atmosphere had just disappeared a little, but Captain Huang came here again with someone. Xia Yuan was quite helpless. The other party didn't bother him, so they had a date. When he saw the other Xia Yuan, he couldn't say anything. Two, just leave.

It felt a lot cleaner after leaving. Xia Yuan took his people to inspect the situation on the battlefield again.

The layout of the machine gun firepower points has not met his expectations. The dug machine gun bunker is too shallow, and half of the body is easily exposed. When shooting, it is very unsatisfactory.

Xia Yuan put a lot of effort into the machine gun fire points, especially the soil piles around the machine gun fire points. He adopted outward sloping mounds so that when enemy shells fell around, the splashing shrapnel would be reduced by the sloping soil. of kinetic energy.

Then, Xia Yuan called several machine gunners over and taught them how to observe, how to move around, and what to do if they were targeted by Japanese artillery.

After teaching for more than half an hour, I finally passed on some of my experience of being bombed in the Korean battlefield to the other party.

The sky in the distance was getting dark, the sound of the cooks starting dinner was heard, and the soldiers began to line up to receive dinner.

"The little Japs didn't come today. It would be nice if every day was the same as today."

"How is it possible? The little Japanese devil might be tinkering with something again."

"Maybe the Japanese will come here tomorrow. Let's eat quickly."

Listening to the conversation of the soldiers who were cooking, Xia Yuan ate his meal and looked at the gloomy sky with a slight glimmer of light.The Japanese camp was indeed a little quiet today. Not only the west side, but also the east side was very quiet. The Japanese seemed to be asleep. It was so quiet that it was scary, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

However, the west and east sides were relatively calm. On the north side, Yu Jishi's 58th Division was violently attacked by the Japanese. After attacking the Chongteng detachment of the 58th Division, they fought for a day. Yu Jishi's 58th Division lost part of its position, but the core position remained. Firmly in their own hands, the Japanese only occupied peripheral positions.

On the east side, the 11th Brigade of the Ninth Division also felt the front line and took over the positions of the 31st Brigade of the No. 11th Division at the front lines of Jinjiazhai, Zhoujiazhai and Ximazhai. The 31st Brigade of the No. 67th Division retreated to the Taojiazhai and Guanyindou lines on the west side of the highway and took over part of the [-]th Division's positions.

The 67th Division extended its position to the west.

An interesting thing happened. In the morning, the Nationalist troops were basically in full swing. The Japanese air force reconnaissance noticed the changes and mistakenly thought that the Nationalist troops were retreating. The dispatched troops in Shanghai followed the instructions. The intelligence from the Air Force's reconnaissance issued an order to the No. 11 Division to pursue the national army. After receiving the order, the No. 11 Division asked the frontline units to conduct reconnaissance.

It was found that the national troops around Luodian not only showed no signs of retreat, but were constantly reinforcing their positions.

Until the afternoon of that day, the No. 11 Division still did not see the retreat of the National Army. Instead, it came under heavy fire from the National Army artillery.

Therefore, the No. 11 Division did not execute the pursuit order from the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Forces, and still decided to launch a full-line offensive the next day in accordance with the original plan.

In addition, the national army built strong defenses at Baibizhijia, changed its offensive strategy, and decided to dig an underground tunnel from Luodian Town to reach Baibizhijia and blast from the tunnel. On the day of NO.20, the Japanese Engineer Regiment No. 11 began to dig into the White Wall House.

The sky gradually darkened, the drizzle was hazy, and the ice was cold. Just when Xia Yuan and the others were about to take a break, the Japanese No. 11 Division finally mobilized the division's four infantry regiments, as well as artillery and tank units. The east side of Luodian.

The Japanese army divided the troops into the left and right wings, the No. 40 Third Regiment and the 44th Regiment of the Japanese Army.Equipped with a second squadron of tanks, a mortar squadron and a machine gun squadron.

On the left are the No. 12 Regiment and the No. 20 Second Regiment, equipped with artillery squadrons, mortar squadrons and machine gun squadrons.

At the rear are the artillery regiments and field heavy artillery battalions directly under the division.In addition to retaining the Third Reserve Infantry Battalion as the division reserve, the Japanese No. 11 Division also invested all the troops of the No. 11 Division east of Luodian.

In addition, in addition to the No. 11 Division preparing to launch a general offensive on the east side of Luodian on the 21st, the Japanese Third Division located near Yanghang will invest in the No. 60 Eighth Regiment as a reserve force, cooperating with Nos. 18 and 34 The two regiments attacked Liu Xing again to assist the No. 11 Division's attack.

It is late at night.

The Japanese No. 11 Division has concentrated all four of its infantry regiments, as well as artillery, engineers, and tanks southeast of Luodian, and coordinated the Army Aviation, waiting for the moment of the general offensive to bomb the national army positions.

Its operational goal was to repel the national army from the south of Luodian, cross Dijing, and completely control the road between Luodian and Liuhang.The key target of the Japanese attack is in the southeast of Luodian. As for the Chongteng detachment on the west side of Luodian and the Japanese Cavalry No. 11 Regiment, they will also conduct a certain diversionary attack on the National Army in front, containing the First Division and the 58th Division of the National Army. This will This left the two divisions unable to support southward.

As for the Third Division near Liuhang, due to the heavy losses of the No. 18 Regiment and the No. 30 Fourth Regiment on the east side of Liu Hang, its combat effectiveness dropped rapidly. The focus of the Third Division's attack began to shift toward where the 68th Regiment was located. The Taiping Bridge area on the north side of Liuhang was transferred.

The Third Division planned to use these three regiments to cross Dijing, occupy Liujiahang, cross Dijing to the west, and control the road between Luodian and Liuhang, which became the combat target of the two Japanese divisions.

Dijing winds from Luodian to near Liuhang and intersects with Zhongzaobang. It is one of the most important rivers blocking the front of the Japanese army. Therefore, the national army also concentrated its main defense forces on building fortifications along the Dijing coast. It was hoped that the rivers in the Dijing area could be used as a natural barrier to stop the Japanese army.

For this reason, this battle was also called the Dijing Battle.

The Japanese army planned to attack at seven o'clock in the morning.

It rained all night, and the whole Songhu became extremely humid. Raindrops hung on the grass and trees. The veteran got up very early and ran to the eaves of the village to collect rainwater and put it in a kettle. The soldiers also lit the fire and raised the smoke. After collecting the rainwater, the veteran ran to the yard of the cooking class, sat by the fire and rubbed his hands.

"It's been raining for so many days and it hasn't stopped yet."

"It rains more. If it rains, it will affect the sight of the Japanese planes, and their bombers will not be able to bomb accurately."

"Mainly because it's too cold."

"The temperature has dropped, just wear more clothes."

"Better sit in front of the fire to keep warm."

There are veterans in the cooking squad knocking on the soldiers under their hands, chatting and cooking steaming noodle soup.

The food of the 51st Division is quite good, and the officers treat the soldiers very well. It is precisely because of this atmosphere in the 51st Division that the soldiers of the 51st Division dare to fight hard.

I saw the veteran sitting in front of the fire, chatting, and then turned the conversation to Xia Yuan.

They knew that the veteran had fought with Xia Yuan from Luodian, and they must know Xia Yuan very well, especially when they mentioned Xia Yuan's killing of Japanese soldiers, everyone put down what they were doing and kept their ears open.

The old soldier smiled and did not mince words with them. He told them clearly what he had seen with Xia Yuan, especially the first time they met, in a shallow river in Luodian, when they talked about seeing Xia Yuan. When shooting in the water, the veteran said: "At that time, I was reprimanding the company commander. The little Japanese's cannons were blowing up the water so much that he couldn't stand still, but he stood in the water and aimed at a few hundred meters. The Japanese machine gun firepower is out of range."

"I thought to myself, isn't this a joke? Not to mention fighting in the water where you are not stable, even standing on the ground, it is so dark, you can see the muzzle of the Japanese machine gun flashing, how can you hit it? ."

"The result really shocked me. I really hit the target. The Japanese machine gun stopped. The company commander put away his gun and rushed towards the Japanese position. I followed him at a distance behind my butt."

Looking at the surprised faces of the soldiers in the cooking class, the veteran smiled and thought to himself, when he saw this scene, he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide. A Japanese artillery shell fell next to him. I accidentally fell into the water and choked several times.

"Good boy! After firing from a few hundred meters away, the Japanese machine gun firepower was knocked out!?"

"It was still in the water, it was still night, or it was daytime. If I were asked to hit a 100-meter target, I couldn't hit it."

"Our company commander also said that there is a powerful company commander coming from above. How powerful is this?"

The soldiers in the cooking squad gasped in shock and gritted their teeth. It felt incredible. Although they were cooking soldiers, they had also been on the battlefield and knew how powerful the Japanese were, especially how difficult it was to deal with machine gun fire points. Those killed by guns are all gods.

Before the veteran said anything, Xia Yuan used his very powerful ability to throw grenades to attack the Japanese position. He was the only one who assisted in the attack, and he did not put in much effort.

The humanoid mortar is used to describe Xia Yuan.

"What did you cook today?" Skipping the topic, the veteran looked at the gurgling noodle soup in the pot with white smoke coming out.

"Noodles, served with pickles." said the cooking team leader.

"Aren't there any white-flour steamed buns?"

"Wherever there is white flour steamed buns, they have been eaten long ago. The supplies from above have not been shipped yet, so it will probably take a while." The leader of the cooking team said, "There is not much white flour left. The more we drink, the less it will be."

The logistics supply of the national army has always been a very serious problem. There are too many moths and they are transported layer by layer. If there are any less, no one will notice.

At any time, borers are unavoidable.

At least the situation of the 51st Division is pretty good. The local army probably doesn't even have the logistics.

Rumble rumble!

Suddenly, there was a slight rumble from far away in the sky. The sound floated here, and it was no longer very clear. But if you listen carefully, you can still hear it. This is the shelling of the Japanese devils.

Suddenly, Japanese planes appeared above them, dropping bombs one after another. The bombs fell freely, rubbing the air and making a sharp whistle.

In an instant, artillery shells hit the village one after another. The ground was in position, and the village destroyed by the shells kept screaming.

"Quick, hide in the tunnel!"

"Two dogs, two dogs, come here, where are you running? Get into the corner, hurry up."

“I don’t need food, my life is important!”

"The same thing is important. Soldiers have no food to eat. How can they fight the Japanese? Put the pot in." (End of Chapter)
