The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 50 Capturing Prisoners 1
The 12 people who went to capture the prisoners were divided into four groups, with three people in each group. The first group was designated as the rifle group and was led by He Wei himself. The second group was the light machine gun group. He Wei was handed over to Ge Guicai to lead the light machine gun shooter. Jiang Qilong, the squad's veteran machine gunner, and the third rifle group were led by Tu Desheng.

The leader of the fourth rifle group is First Class Deputy Yang Biao.

Just now Yang Biao took the initiative to find He Wei with a blushing face. He was convinced and wanted to follow him to capture the prisoners. He Wei was happy to give him this opportunity and handed the fourth group to him.

He Wei has his own reasons for organizing this way. In fact, his ideal infantry squad is a squad of about 12 to 14 people, and then the soldiers in a squad are divided into groups of three or four, and the whole squad is divided into three or four groups. Depending on the situation, they can be organized into light machine gun groups, attack groups, cover groups, etc. This can form a skirmisher group composed of about four skirmisher groups.

Such an organization can achieve a flexible model in which the squad leader commands the team leader, and the team leader commands the soldiers in the team.

The current model orders adopted by the National Army Adjustment Division are mostly inherited from the Japanese army. The new infantry drill used divides an infantry squad into two parts: the rifle team and the machine gun team. There is no further detailed division of the tasks of the soldiers in the team. Of course, the armies of other countries are now basically following this model.

Compared with the division model of one rifle group and one light machine gun group each, He Wei believes that this model of three or four people, and then carefully dividing a squad into three to four groups, is more suitable for current and future command and operations.

In fact, during World War II, the team tactics of almost all countries evolved along this route, that is, from thick to thin, from large to small, from heavy to flexible.

He Wei thought that if there was a chance, he must first reform the team's tactics. So today's assault was just a small test, let's try it out.

He Wei raised his head and looked ahead. In order to prevent accidental shooting and capture alive, the gunfire in the row had stopped long ago. The remaining Japanese troops in front of the formation also stopped shooting and looked suspiciously at the position where the Chinese army suddenly ceased fire.

The two sides were facing each other, and the sudden silence on the battlefield was strange and strange.

There was only the breeze and the breath of the brothers around me.He Wei: "Are you all ready?"

"Okay!" the twelve soldiers said together.

"Okay, listen to my command and prepare to attack. The anti-tank outer trench is 80 meters away from us. No one should hesitate, and there is no need for light machine gun team cover. Disperse after a while. Wait for my command and come together. If anyone is caught Don't try to rescue them if you're hit. The Japs have a Type [-], two crooked handles, and several rifles. If you pull in a wounded soldier at this time, another one will be rescued. If you're lucky, when we kill the Japs, When I come back, I will naturally save the brother who was shot."

They are all veterans, needless to say.

He Wei continued: "Everyone spread out, prepare for an assault, and make good use of the stepping holes in the trenches!"

The 12 people dispersed and prepared individually. Following He Wei were corporal deputy squad leader Huang Yugui and senior soldier Chen Axi of the third squad. Five grenades were packed in the empty ammunition box carried by Huang Yugui.

Half a minute later, He Wei said: "Everyone is here - charge to the left and right lines. The target is the outer trench directly in front. The distance between each group is 20 meters! Twenty steps!"

Quietly, another minute passed.

"All assault!"

He Wei took the lead in climbing out of the trench, grabbed the upper edge of the trench with his left hand, stepped into the pedal hole with his right foot, jumped out suddenly, bent down and rushed forward, followed closely by Huang Yugui and Chen Axi, and the other brothers also followed. Out of the trenches, these calm veterans now have only one goal - to rush to the outer trenches.

The silence of the battlefield was suddenly broken. 12 people suddenly jumped up and charged forward. The Japanese army did not react for a while. They stared blankly and screamed. The trench was only 80 meters away from the outer trench. When the Japanese army reacted, they opened fire. , 12 people had already crossed half the distance.

"Da da da, da da da"

The belated bullets only knocked down one person, and the one who was hit was a veteran of the second squad. After the gunfire, the others quickly dispersed, fell down, fired horizontally, and crawled forward. Rows of machine gun bullets whizzed overhead. Pass.

He Wei crawled on the ground and moved forward without even turning his head when he heard the shot veteran falling to the ground and yelling.

"I'm fine. I was shot in the shoulder and calf. I'm going to pretend to be dead for now. Squad leader, platoon leader, come and lift me up after you're done!"

After shouting this sentence, the old veteran put the helmet on his face, threw away the rifle, and then lay flat on the ground motionless and calmly "played dead"

The bullets flew by with the wind. The front of his body was close to the ground. He raised his head slightly, bent back his right leg, and stretched out his left hand. He Wei methodically completed the tactical movement of crawling forward. Because he did not bring a rifle, he was wearing a light leather officer's weapon. With the belt, he attacked and crawled at the front.

The other veterans who were creeping and attacking were much slower.

He Wei crawled into position, rolled over and roared.

"Jump in!"

"Hurry up!"

"Turn in!"

Creeping forward, rolling and crawling, the others successfully climbed into the anti-tank trench. The soldier carrying the ammunition box opened the empty ammunition box, dug the soil with a spade, and stacked two or three ammunition boxes together. Only by stepping on it can you observe the outside of the trench.

After rushing into the outer trench, the distance from the Japanese army on the opposite side was only 120 meters, but between these 120 meters there were 30 meters of anti-tank pits and deer villages. With the horses blocked, the prisoners could only go around from the flanks. He Wei Anxious for everyone, plan the next move in the anti-tank outer trench.

The Japanese obviously didn't want to waste bullets, and the machine guns stopped firing.He Wei shook the grenade: "Tu Desheng and Yang Biao, you two will take your team, one along the left wing of the outer trench, and the other to the right wing to stand by. My team, and squad leader Ge's light machine gun team will go first. Fire at them to attract their attention, and I also have a little devil's grenade here, which can definitely hit them."

"I will use light machine guns and grenade launchers to disrupt the shooting and attract them. You two and six people will fix their bayonets and find the right moment to rush forward in one go. Try to catch as many people alive as possible while protecting yourselves."

"Yes!"

The two groups of soldiers quietly moved toward the two wings in the trench. He Wei pulled in a group of machine gunners, Jiang Qilong, and said.

"Qilong, Squad Leader Ge, you go to a place far away from me. Step up and set up the machine gun. Fire according to my orders. It doesn't matter whether you fire bursts or bursts. You can decide for yourself. It doesn't matter whether you kill anyone or not. Just fire." That’s it.”

Ge Guicai and Jiang Qilong also left, putting a long distance away from He Wei.

Then he said to Chen Axi, the superior soldier in his group: "You will be my battle messenger. If I say fight, you will inform Squad Leader Ge that their machine guns are firing."

"Huang Yugui, you don't need to shoot. You can hold the grenade for me and be my assistant shooter."

Corporal Huang Yugui looked troubled: "Platoon leader, I don't know how to use a grenade."

He Wei said: "You don't need to shoot the grenade, just get the grenade for me."

Huang Yugui: "Yes!"

He Wei stepped on the ammunition box, climbed up to the edge of the trench and squatted down. He secretly stretched out his hand to put the grenade's seat on it and looked at the grenade. If he remembered correctly, this thing was the latest Japanese technology. Type [-] re-thrown cartridge.

This latest rifled Type 600 re-thrown grenade can hit [-] meters when using a special grenade. After playing around with it, I found an Arabic inscription on the left side of the slot at the bottom of the grenade. The number, He Wei estimated, is the sight used when adjusting the range. It is estimated that the function of the sight is similar to that of a rifle sight.

According to the distance, He Wei tried to adjust the distance gauge, took a grenade from Huang Yugui, pulled out the safety pin on the grenade fuse, put the grenade into the barrel, aligned it, and put the barrel into the barrel. 45 degree.

He Wei: "Chen Axi, let the machine gun fire!"

Da da da da da da da da da - soon, Jiang Qilong's light machine guns rang out and fired continuously at the Japanese soldiers, attracting the attention of these Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese army also quickly fired back, with the [-] heavy machine gun, the crooked light machine gun, and the [-] big cover. Jiang Qilong carried out He Wei's order very well, firing in bursts, and the bullets were free of charge. Fa, the harder he hit, the harder the Japanese hit back.

After adjusting the grenade, it was the first time to use it, and He Wei didn't know how accurate it was.

"put!"

Pulling the trigger on the support pole, He Wei fired the first grenade with a bang.

Boom - The grenade exploded. He Wei adjusted the distance just right, but missed. The grenade exploded more than 20 meters to the right of the Japanese army.

He Wei: "Load the grenade! Three rounds!"

Huang Yugui followed suit and pulled out the safety. He Wei took the two grenades, moved the grenade a certain distance to the left, loaded one grenade, fired, then loaded the other two grenades, and continued to fire.
bang bang bang—

Two grenades exploded ten meters away from the Japanese machine gun position. The third one was closer, killing the shooter of a crooked light machine gun. Three grenades exploded nearby. The surrounding soil was extremely soft. After the grenade exploded, it caused a huge explosion. A large area of ​​fine sand and dust was blown away, and the flying dust covered the entire machine gun position.

The Japanese did not expect that these strange Chinese soldiers would use their grenade launchers to suddenly attack them. Under the flying dust, the continuous explosion of soft and fine sand actually made the [-]-style The heavy machine gun jammed, and the continuous crackle of bullets suddenly stopped.

"Give me the grenade!"

Boom - boom
After gaining experience in shooting, He Wei fired his last grenade while it was still hot, and this one accurately hit the machine gun position.

"on!"

Almost at the same time, six men, Yang Biao and Tu Desheng, crawled out from the anti-tank trenches on the left and right sides respectively. According to He Wei's order, they attacked the Japanese positions from left to right. Some of the Japanese soldiers surrounded by smoke and dust were panicking. , some were still busy troubleshooting the heavy machine guns, and they never expected that six Chinese soldiers with bayonets charging into the dust and mist.

Looking at Yang Biao, Tu Desheng and the others, He Wei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

After the smoke and dust cleared, after a burst of scuffles and screams, He Wei saw Yang Biao and Tu Desheng and others dragging out three tied Japanese soldiers, kicking and cursing them.

"It's done."
