Chapter 755 The first wave
On the nameless high ground south of Xiangtangpu, Xiuyuan Li Yubin and Corps Huang were lying quietly on the hillside, enjoying the performance of the Japanese plane laying eggs. They were very leisurely. Well, it was just Lao Huang who was a little depressed.
"Woo woo..." The Japanese plane flew away, and Li Yubin and the others could move a little.
"Comrade Xiuyuan, the big iron cannons that your regiment commander asked us to resist were the small cannons that we used for us back then? What is the fireworks?" asked Captain Huang.
"This officer is right, it's cluster fireworks! This box has 6 launch cylinders, with 6 fireworks inside. However, this fireworks are better than last year's one, and can hit 500 meters and are more powerful!" Xiu Yuan said.
"How do you control the distance of this...?" Captain Huang was very curious.
Well, they cooperated with the security team. In addition to giving them three heavy machine guns, they were just allowed to resist 40 boxes of fireworks. Then the soldiers of the security team chose a place on the mountain to dig holes and put them in, and said that they would just ignite the fire at that time.
"This...it's okay to talk to you. In fact, it's just a reference to the Japanese grenade launcher. All tilted at 45 degrees, and then the depth of the projectile body in the launcher is enough!" Xiu Yuan explained.
"That's how..." Commander Huang still didn't understand...
"Is this a fight accurate?" Captain Huang asked again.
"Is this accurate... Oh, that's it! Anyway, no one can tell if it can deviate from ten meters or eight meters when you hit it. But we don't expect it to be accurate, as long as it hits fast enough!" Xiuyuan said.
"Well... makes sense!" Captain Huang stopped talking, and the mountain returned to tranquility. Only the smell of gunpowder on the hill opposite the valley flew over...
"When will our family have such good equipment..." The silent Commander Huang sighed when he saw the equipment of the security regiment soldiers again.
After more than a year of development, the security regiment's personnel composition has actually been very diverse, but there are still several more important sources.
One is the Sichuan soldiers at that time; the second is the children of the Qi family army in Jiuzhai and the surrounding areas; the third is the non-Qi family army in villages and towns further away around Jiuzhai; the fourth is the group of new recruits recruited by the Dabie Mountains; and the fifth is the Qin soldiers of the Second Guard Company.
What remains are the original student soldiers, various martial arts children, and various miscellaneous sources.
For example, from the Hebei Militia Corps, Hu Yizhou drew thirty of the best soldiers into the combat sequence of the first battalion of the Security Regiment; among the blacksmiths recruited from Xianggongzhuang, those who were willing to join the army were placed in the combat troops.
When dispatching companies, these soldiers also took into account the regional source composition and elite level to allocate them.
For example, the main soldiers of the Second Battalion are the children of the Qi family army and the children around Jiuzhai; the main soldiers of the Third Battalion are the soldiers recruited by the Sichuan Army and the Dabie Mountains; the first battalion is always a hodgepodge...
As for the most elite soldiers, they will always be in the special operations reconnaissance company and the two guard companies; the least elite soldiers will always be in the artillery battalion and logistics support battalion...
Of course, the training required for the baggage troops will not be less, or even more strict.
Because this battle was in Licheng, Hu Yizhou drew some troops from the Second Battalion to cooperate with the Xinyi Regiment. He did this for nothing but for many of these soldiers, many of whom were familiar with the terrain.
Now on the mountain south of Xiangtangpu are the second battalion, one company and one platoon, and the platoon leader is Li Yubin. Except for the platoon leader, the rest of the soldiers in this platoon are either the children of Jiuzhai or the soldiers here in Licheng.
For this battle, Hu Yizhou gave up his blood and provided 12 general-purpose heavy machine guns to the new regiment and tens of thousands of machine gun bullets. Well, it was free, Lao Li was very happy.
For the platoons that cooperated with the New First Regiment, due to the combat distance, Hu Yizhou did not ask them to equip them with heavy shotgun launchers, but instead turned the two heavy shotgun launchers combat groups into three temporary light machine gun combat groups, carrying Hu's light machine guns.
This is why Commander Coptisson saw that a platoon had 8 machine guns...
As for the source of the machine gunner? Which veterans in the Second Battalion are not familiar with all kinds of guns? Just give up the bullets and feed them.
The Japanese plane left, which means that the Japanese ground troops were coming, and everyone lying on the mountain was quietly waiting for the Japanese to arrive.
On Taoer Mountain to the southeast of Zhaodian Muqiao, Wang Han, the second platoon leader of the 1st Company of the Second Battalion, also lies there with his combat platoon. They brought the same equipment as the 1st row, and there were also companies led by a company commander named Ding in the New Regiment to fight in joint operations.
The book friends used the Xiaoshuting before has already been dead, and now they are basically using \Mi\Mi\Reading\App \\ .
Of course, they also enjoyed the Japanese airplane laying eggs, just a little far apart.
At this moment, they were also waiting quietly, waiting for the Japanese to come and give them a cruel one, and then turn around and leave. If they could attract some pursuers, it would be perfect. Later, they followed the Second Battalion Second Company to beat the Japanese pursuers.
That's right, this is the first step of Hu Yizhou's designated combat plan against the Japanese attack on Licheng: taking advantage of firepower harassment, luring the enemy into deep annihilation, and experimenting with new weapons, and not forgetting to fight rabbits...
In the county town, when the Japanese plane exploded and opened the way, the Japanese from the 108th Cavalry Brigade of the 108th Division rode out of the city on war horses, followed by the Japanese soldiers of the 132nd Regiment. Between the cavalry and infantry, there was an armored unit of a chariot squadron transferred from the 10th Division.
Unlike previous combat marches, the Japanese walked very slowly this time. They stopped from time to time and sent vans to explore the way forward. Even on the tanks, there were machine guns firing at the hills on both sides.
That's right, the Japanese were afraid of being beaten, and they were smart enough to learn and dared not make any blind moves.
But what surprised the Japanese was that they had walked to Chunshu Ridge and did not encounter decent resistance, and there was no landmine buried on the ground. Of course, the people did not see a single one...
"Baga... Did these Eighth Route Army members give up resisting?" Captain Goto, a cavalry brigade, rode on his horse, looked at the hillsides on both sides with a telescope, and murmured.
"Your team is moving forward to investigate and pay attention to the hills on both sides of Xiangtangpu, especially in the north. You must go up the mountain or even behind the mountain to take a look!" said Captain Goto.
"Hay!" A cavalry captain next to him nodded and responded, then took his team to fight to the money and began to explore the way.
"Pu tick...pu tick..." The rapid sound of horse hooves echoed in the valley, and the Japanese cavalry team soon arrived at the Xiangtangpu.
Then, the Japanese rode their horses up the mountain, looking for possible ambush.
Of course, the Japanese found nothing. Even if they looked around with a telescope, they did not find any abnormalities.
"You, go back and report what we have detected! Others follow me, let's go to Dongyang Pass to see!" The cavalry team leader arranged for a Japanese to go back to report the news, and he took the remaining Japanese to horses and continue to investigate westwards.
"Yaxi, let's keep moving forward!"
After listening to the report of the Japanese Scouts, Captain Goto waved his little hand wearing white gloves and continued to move forward.
The Japanese did not run fast on horseback because they had to cooperate with the actions of the infantry corps behind them and could only reduce their speed.
Soon, the Japanese cavalry brigade took the lead and came to Xiangtangpu first. He did not stop, but continued to move forward. When the cavalry brigade passed, the armored vehicles and tanks of the chariot squadron drove over, and the infantry corps followed closely behind.
"So many Japanese... and tanks, I made a profit this time..." Commander Huang said excitedly when he saw the tank car rumbling by the foot of the mountain.
"Don't worry, let's start until the head explodes later!" Li Yubin said steadily.
"Boom..." The Japanese in the tank squadron did not expect that someone was watching them, and they were still driving the Type 89 medium tank and the Xiaodouding tank toward the west. Although they knew that the Chinese army had a weapon to deal with them, they were very confident in their combat capabilities.
Soon, the Japanese chariot squadron also drove through the Xiangtangpu, and the 132 infantry regiment behind followed.
It was at this time...boom...
With a blast, a medium-sized tank just now suddenly exploded violently.
"Start the fight!" Just as the Japanese were surprised by the power of the explosion and angry at the attack, Li Yubin spoke.
"Swish..." The Eighth Route Army soldiers who were in charge of lighting the fire were the first to take out matches and lit the fuse exposed by the fireworks box.
As the fuse was ignited, the soldiers hurriedly left the scene and hid far away.
Thanks to the ups and downs of the mountains here, there is a small ridge blocking the front, so the soldiers' actions will not be discovered by the Japanese.
Of course, it is no longer meaningful to discover it. Just as they were igniting the fire, the second battalion, one company and the Coast Commander and the others started the fastest and largest firepower output mode.
"Ba, click...ba..." The soldiers of the New First Group used the bullets provided by Hu Yizhou to them, and they did not feel sorry for them at all, and they raised the speed as fast as possible.
"Dadadada, dadada..." All the light and heavy machine guns also started continuous firepower output towards the Japanese infantry corps at the foot of the mountain.
"Use the fastest rate of fire to strafuse the cluster target!" The machine gunner of the security regiment shouted while firing, only hitting the bullets at the Japanese with the fastest rate of fire.
"Ah... Baga, there is an ambush!"
"Baga, there, attack..."
After more than ten seconds of firepower output, the Japanese began to fight back.
"Chachakhachakha..." Corps Huang did not participate in the attack on the Japanese, but instead looked at the watch on his wrist and calculated the attack time.
