Turn your attention back to Damei Mountain.
In the blink of an eye, it has been two days since the 10th Division was trapped on Qingfeng Mountain Road. Over the past two days, the situation faced by the 10th Division has become more and more difficult. Before, it barely controlled several water sources. Although the collected water Not much, but more than a ton every day, but now even these poor water sources are occupied by independent groups.
Up to now, the 10th Division can only rely on the aviation corps to drop drinking water.
But even so, the drinking water dropped by the air will still be destroyed by the wolf fangs.
As soon as the day broke, Zhuanshan Leopard came out of the Black Dragon Valley with a mouse and a beard, and swaggered up to an isolated peak on the roadside. This solitary peak was the sniper position that Zhuanshan Leopard was optimistic about yesterday. From the top of this solitary peak, From a high position, he can control a large area. The airdrop site opened by the Japanese in front is just within his strike range.
The three of them had just walked out of the valley when they heard intermittent gunshots.
The mouse stretched his neck and looked forward for a moment, and said, "Is this the second or third preliminary battalion?"
"Only the devil knows." Hu Zi said angrily, "In the past few days, the nine reserve battalions have been attacking the Japanese like a revolving lantern. Sometimes they can rotate several times a day, and they are all messed up. Who knows which battalion it is now? ?However, it is definitely not the second or third battalion, and it is unlikely to be the engineer battalion."
As an old saying goes, if you plant flowers intentionally, you will not plant willows to create shade.
Xu Rui and Wang Husheng originally planned to have a wheel battle at Houtou Ridge and let the nine reserve battalions train their troops through positional battles with the Japs. However, it backfired. The Japs' offensive on Houtou Ridge was too fierce and the reserve battalions could not withstand it at all. They had no choice but to Changed the original intention, relying on the two main battalions to fight the Japanese, and the reserve battalion as supplementary troops.
As a result, the two main battalions lost more than half of their troops, and the nine reserve battalions were also supplemented by two rounds.
After the war, statistics showed that the nine reserve battalions had an average of less than 300 people left, and the two main battalions had only more than 200 veterans left. This shows how fierce the Japs' attack on Houtou Ridge was! Of course, not many people were actually killed, about 300 people, and the remaining 2,000 people were just injured and have now been sent back to the hospital.
This is the advantage of having control of the battlefield. Most of the casualties will only be wounded.
However, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng's plan to train troops in Houtou Ridge was completely in vain.
However, things took a turn for the better two days ago. Two days ago, the 10th Division failed in its sneak attack on Houtou Ridge and was forced to give up the breakout and retreat to protect itself. This unexpectedly gave the various reserve battalions When Xu Rui learned the news during the military training opportunity, he immediately ordered nine reserve battalions to take turns to attack day and night.
Xu Rui annihilated the Japanese 10th Division without asking, and only asked the nine reserve battalions to accumulate actual combat experience. However, Xu Rui also issued a strict order at the same time that Mei Jiuling's engineer battalion was absolutely not allowed to participate in the attack.
Mouse didn't believe it and retorted: "Why can't it be an engineer battalion? Doesn't the engineer battalion need training?"
Huzi said cheerfully: "Haven't you heard of it? Those student boys in the engineer camp are all the treasures of our regiment leader, and the regiment leader is reluctant to let them fight against the little devils."
Mouse said suddenly: "Are those nerds in the engineering camp still so cute?"
While the two were talking, they had already walked halfway up the solitary peak. Standing on the mountainside and looking down, they could vaguely see the battlefield outside the valley. They saw about half a platoon of officers and soldiers from the independent regiment, stationed towards the Japanese opposite. Attacking on a hilltop, there was about a small team of Japanese soldiers on the hilltop with two machine guns.
Due to the distance, Zuanshan Bao and the others were unable to support them, so they simply sat down, ate melons and watched the show.
It’s true to eat melons. Last night, County Magistrate Liu led the county brigade to transport a batch of watermelons. They are now in the Black Dragon Pond. Before Zhuan Shanbao and the others came out, they took two watermelons with them. At this moment I was thirsty, so I cut one to quench my thirst. While eating the melon, I watched the friendly troops from unknown reserve battalions fighting with the little Japanese in front.
Looking from a distance, I saw about half a platoon of officers and soldiers from the independent regiment, divided into nine groups. Each group had three people. The three people stood in a triangle. Each combat group was very far apart. With extremely skilled tactical movements, he launched attacks one after another against the little devils on the hilltop.
While eating the watermelon happily, Mouse said in surprise: "Okay, these new recruits in the reserve camp have made great progress in the past two days. Are they already very good at the three-three system?"
The Three-Three System tactic is a specialty tactic of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. It originated from the Anti-Japanese War and matured during the Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. However, it was the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea that really made this tactic famous. On the Korean battlefield, the US military was the leading force. The Fifteen-Nation Allied Forces suffered greatly from the three-by-three tactics.
The so-called three-by-three tactics means that the squad is divided into three assault groups, each of which has three people. The three people in the group have a clear division of labor. One person is responsible for the attack. Specifically, he throws grenades at close range to kill the enemy's machine gun fire. , one person is responsible for covering and attracting enemy firepower, and the other person stays behind to provide fire support.
Such three groups form a combat squad, and three combat squads form a combat group.
The three combat squads are arranged in a triangle, and the three combat squads of the combat group are mostly arranged in a straight line. A combat squad composed of twenty-seven people can even cover an eight hundred-meter-long front.
Therefore, on the Korean battlefield, even if the US machine gunners beat the barrels of their guns until they were scrapped, they might not be able to kill even one volunteer. Those who say that the volunteers rely on human sea tactics to win are pure nonsense. No matter how many people there are, how many bullets can there be? If the Volunteer Army really only relied on human sea tactics, how could the number of casualties be only 500,000
In fact, even the US military admits that the Chinese People's Volunteers on the Korean battlefield are the most powerful and sophisticated army in the history of the world with infantry assault tactics!
The secret of the Volunteer Army's infantry assault tactics is the three-by-three tactics!
Of course Xu Rui had to bring such an artifact to the anti-Japanese battlefield in advance.
The ten newly formed preparatory battalions have also practiced the three-three system infantry assault tactics. Now, except for Yao Lei's second preparatory battalion who is following He Shuya to guard Fotiao Cliff, the remaining nine preparatory battalions are practicing the three-three system with little devils. After two days of actual combat training, the attacks of these reserve battalions looked quite similar.
Huzi also cut a piece of watermelon and said while chewing: "But, it's strange, why don't the Japs fight back? The attacking recruits over there are only half a platoon, about twenty people, but the Japs have a whole squad. There are more than fifty people. If the Japanese attack, these twenty or so new recruits will not be able to withstand them."
The mouse finished eating a piece of melon, threw away the rind, wiped his mouth and said: "Do you think the devils are just bugs in the desert, they can run away without drinking water? The devils want to fight back, but now they are all thirsty How can we fight back when we are half-dead? We are crawling to fight back one by one?"
Huzi scratched his head and said, "That seems to be right."
The mouse said: "Whatever it means seems to be right, it is."
While the two were talking, on the battlefield ahead, a friendly combat team had already rushed in front of the Japanese position. The individual soldier in front shook his hands and threw a grenade upwards. There was an explosion, and he had been firing fiercely just now. The Japanese machine gun immediately went mute, and almost at the same time, the other machine gun was also killed by another team.
Once the two machine guns were exhausted, the Japanese firepower was immediately completely suppressed. Three combat squads and nine assault teams immediately accelerated their assault. In less than a moment, they had already rushed to the Japanese position on the top of the hill. After a brief struggle, More than fifty Japanese soldiers guarding the top of the mountain were all knocked down.
More than fifty Japanese soldiers were defeated by more than twenty recruits.
Due to severe dehydration, each of the Japanese soldiers was extremely weak. Their usually ferocious hand-to-hand combat had become weak at this time. They were defeated by the energetic and high-spirited recruits of the independent regiment in just a few strokes. Oh no, at this time, The recruits in the nine reserve battalions can no longer be called recruits. All of them have grown into veterans.
The beard snorted and said, "It's boring. I thought it was fun and exciting, but it ended so quickly."
"What's your state of mind?" Mouse seemed to feel uncomfortable unless he had a few words with Huzi. As soon as Huzi finished speaking, Mouse immediately retorted, "Are you hoping that the friendly troops in the reserve camp will suffer more?"
Beard quickly denied: "Mouse, don't talk nonsense, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" said the Mouse. "I think that's what you mean."
Zhuanshan Bao was so upset by the quarrel between the two that he had to stop it: "Okay, stop arguing, we are at the end of the road."
Mouse and Beard snorted at each other, and then began to disguise themselves. Within a moment, the three of them blended into the rocks, shrubs, and grass on the top of the mountain. If you didn't get closer and take a closer look, you wouldn't be able to spot the existence of the three of them. Another moment passed. , the "buzzing" roar of aircraft engines rang out in the southeastern sky.
Immediately afterwards, a dozen huge transport planes came out of the clouds.
After flying over Qingfeng Mountain Road, parachutes floated down from the tails of more than a dozen transport planes. Under each parachute, there was a large iron water tank hanging. This was the commander of the Central China Condemnation Army. Through the aviation corps, the Ministry airdropped drinking water supplies to the 10th Division trapped on Qingfeng Mountain Road.
Hitting such an airdrop target is most comfortable for a sniper.
Zhuanshan Bao pressed a tracer bullet into the barrel of the gun, took a rough aim, and then decisively pulled the trigger.
After the gunshot, the tracer bullet pulled out a faint trajectory in the air. Although it failed to hit the target, it still provided the correction parameters to Zhuanshan Leopard. After slightly correcting the shooting angle of the rifle, Zhuanshan Leopard clicked the button again. The trigger, another gunshot sounded, and the iron water tank hanging under one of the parachutes was pierced. Clear drinking water immediately spurted out from the hole of the gun, forming two thin water columns in the air.
"Hit!" The mouse cheered immediately. (To be continued.)
