Chapter 1790: The troops are coming to the city of Dongping!
Many front-line officers are already familiar with the Japanese's routines. But sometimes they know that they can't do anything.
The Japanese have good shooting skills and tacit cooperation, and have a complete combat system and absolute firepower advantage, which makes some front-line officers sigh.
When the Japanese artillery set up artillery positions, they ordered the soldiers to avoid artillery immediately.
Of course, if they had artillery soldiers, they would definitely choose to launch a few shots on the enemy first.
But like the Dragon Boat Festival, there are indeed not many Chinese troops, not to mention that they broke through the enemy's blockade line this time, only carrying enough ammunition and carrying almost nothing in heavy weapons.
Heavy weapons will slow down their attack speed, so once they carry heavy weapons, they may not have the chance to cross the line of fire of the Japanese.
But relatively speaking, insufficient firepower has become a big problem.
The entire regiment had only eight grenade launchers, not even mortars. So in the face of the Japanese artillery attacks, Wang Gang and Chen Mogan could only choose to avoid the edge for the time being.
At the same time, the Chaoxian Legion seemed particularly wealthy, with mountain cannons and mortars, all kinds of.
Of course, there is no way to compare with the Japanese. An artillery brigade has only four mountain cannons, eighteen mortars of various models, and two old rapid-fire cannons, which seem to have been removed from some ship. The caliber is only 60 mm.
But even so, compared with the Chinese army without firepower, it was still several streets away from the other side.
At the same time, Zhang Guangsan also came to the temporary command center less than 800 meters away from Dongping Town.
A huge military tent was supported by it, and it was placed opposite Dongping County.
And if you see Dragon Boat Festival, you will definitely send it away in one shot.
But unfortunately, the Dragon Boat Festival will be at least one and a half days before it can arrive, and he will also successfully defeat the forces of at least two infantry regiments of the Fifth Division.
This time, in order to annihilate the Dragon Boat Festival's supervision corps, Shiro Ban Heng invested almost all his troops. Except for an infantry brigade and his guards to protect Tai'an, only a few defensive troops were left in each original defense zone. The rest of the troops were used to cut off the way to the Dragon Boat Festival's southward journey, and then encircled with the Japanese army on the western front.
And at the same time, the Japanese Fourth Division is also actively approaching Dongping County, Feicheng, Pingyin and Ningyang.
For the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army, some of them had to go to the front line to support the operations against the 55th and 56th Army, while some of them had to reinforce the 5th Division.
So this time, the Japanese who attacked the Dragon Boat Festival Supervision Corps from north to south will far exceed two infantry regiments.
Moreover, there are many Imperial Army, which assisted the Fifth Division in combat.
Therefore, the road to the south of Dragon Boat Festival is not easy to walk, and this is also the reason why the Dragon Boat Festival is said to be Li Zhongren cheated people a lot.
However, in order not to sacrifice so many people in vain for the 55th Army and the 56th Army, the Dragon Boat Festival finally decided to break through to Dongping County.
At this time, the Dragon Boat Festival was leading the Supervisory Corps to march in an urgent manner, hoping to arrive in Dongping County before the Japanese and puppet troops fully merged.
The Japanese Fifth Division had a total of two infantry regiments, which entered a position more than ten kilometers north of Dongping County, and then advanced to the north at the same time.
This was the news that Ma Ping'an received, and several comrades were sacrificed as a result.
And this is also impossible. It has been said before that the Japanese spies took a major action, and the underground party launched a fierce secret war between the two sides in order to stop the Japanese spies.
While assassinating Japanese spies, the underground party exposed a lot. As a result, the Japanese launched a cleanup of the underground party.
Both sides suffered losses, but the information was still sent to the Dragon Boat Festival.
This includes the news that the Chaoxian Division has approached Dongping County.
Of course, this news is approaching, not an offensive.
Although the underground party is indeed a good player in intelligence, they still cannot pass on messages from time to time.
Therefore, the news received by Dragon Boat Festival was slightly delayed, because at this time, the battle in Dongping Town had already begun.
Zhang Guangsan ordered the artillery to open fire in full force, and bombarded the positions of the 55th Army in Dongping County.
The positions outside the Dongchengmen City of Dongping County, including the city walls, and even the Dongcheng City, were all subjected to violent shelling.
The soldiers of the Fifty-five Army hid in the trenches and did not dare to look up.
Although the trenches outside Dongping County have been reinforced, they still seem a little helpless under the enemy's artillery fire.
And especially mortars, this kind of artillery is very harmful to the enemies in the trenches.
Many soldiers were killed in the trenches.
But even so, the trenches are their best cover. Otherwise, if there is no trenches deep enough, they may have suffered heavy casualties at this time.
After a moment, the entire position outside the East City was as if it was arched by a pig.
The soldiers slowly raised their heads and looked at the approaching enemy.
The Japanese's routines are not only familiar with the officers, but also the soldiers, including them.
After the artillery attack, they quickly entered the front line of positions, and the machine guns and heavy machine guns were installed, just waiting for the enemy to approach.
In other words, both armies gained a lot from the 55th Army and the 56th Army on the Dragon Boat Festival, and especially the tactical adjustments that front-line soldiers need the most urgently needed.
Before, the Chinese army had a habit of wanting to shoot when they saw the enemy. Because if they killed the enemy at a long distance, the enemy would not be able to rush forward.
This was almost the common idea of every Chinese soldier at that time, and they would not think about whether their marksmanship could kill the enemy from a hundred meters away.
To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to fight hand-to-hand combat. Because the cruelty of hand-to-hand combat is simply unimaginable.
Even if a veteran has experienced it once, he doesn't want to have a second time.
So, I gradually developed this traditional tactic of shooting with the flow without thinking about my own shooting skills.
Of course, in the era of warlord separatism, the shooting levels of the Chinese army were not very different, so they didn't feel anything. Even the two warlords could not die for a day after fighting for a day.
But the Japanese are different. The Japanese have a complete shooting training system and have the Type 38 rifle tailor-made for them and have excellent precision.
So just when the Chinese army was attacked by the Japanese, they were stunned and shot within a distance of 100 to 200 meters, and the Japanese won the best.
Sometimes, when the Japanese stormed to the Chinese position, they found that there was no one else.
And why is there no one? It is because the Chinese soldiers’ shooting skills are too poor. It is basically impossible to shoot the enemy from a hundred meters away.
But the Japanese have a hit rate of eight or nine out of ten shots.
So how can you fight? If you are unbeaten, you will be in a ghost.
The Dragon Boat Festival tactics are exactly what they mean to make up for this shortcoming, which is to put the Japanese within the average shooting level of the Chinese army before they attack.
This way, you can at least compete with the Japanese.
But in this way, the chance of starting a hand-to-hand combat will be greatly increased. Moreover, the Japanese are also very powerful in thorn fighting.
But even so, it is better than when the Japanese rushed to the position, no one on the position, right?
