"Dududududududu!——"

"Dududududududu!——"

The order was issued, and as the exciting charge horn sounded, the soldiers of the Fourth Company and the Fifth Company, who were already ready to go, immediately launched an attack on the unknown mountain under the leadership of their respective company commanders.

The soldiers were holding either Type 38 rifles or medium-sized formal rifles. In addition, light machine guns were equipped to the squad level, and their firepower was only stronger than that of the Japanese army.

The Fourth Company and the Fifth Company deployed their heavy machine guns 500 meters away from the top of the mountain. This distance could not only ensure their own safety, but also provide sufficient fire cover for the charging soldiers.

The soldiers were very fast, and soon they reached a position less than 200 meters away from the Japanese position.

In order to save supplies, the Japanese army advocated using the least consumption to cause the greatest casualties to the enemy.

Therefore, we attach great importance to the marksmanship training of soldiers. 200 meters is already within the precise shooting range of Japanese infantry.

"Fire!"

"Da da da, da da da da!——"

The heavy machine gun at the rear roared fiercely, pouring out a large hail of bullets for a while, sending smoke and dust everywhere from the Japanese position on the unnamed hill.

Yagyu Poku was the squadron leader of the Japanese 4th Squadron. When he saw the swarming Eighth Route Army within 200 meters, he immediately waved his command sword forward and gave the order to counterattack.

"Fire, shoot!"

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!——"

After receiving the order, the little Japs in the position started shooting one after another.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah!"

"Thud, tug, tug, tug, tug!——"

For a moment, a dense rain of bullets poured down the mountain and covered it.

However, due to the suppression of machine gun fire, the Japanese were unable to raise their heads to aim, and the accuracy was much lower than usual.

Coupled with the previous bombing by the artillery company, nearly half of the Japanese 4th Squadron had been killed and wounded, and many of its machine gun firepower points had been destroyed. At this time, it was impossible to stop the independent battalion's charge.

"Baga! What kind of tactics is used by China Tubal Road? Why is it so different from the previous attack formation?"

Yagyu Poku personally came to the front line to take command, and suddenly discovered that the tactical formation of this Eighth Route Army was very different from before.

But I saw that these Eighth Route Army soldiers formed a combat group of three, three combat groups formed a squad, and three squads formed a combat group, launching an attack on the Japanese position on the top of the mountain.

Looking around, we can see that there is a certain distance between these combat groups and combat squads, and they are spread out in skirmish lines.

The entire attacking team seems to be scattered, but it is also a whole.

In this way, it can not only ensure the relative concentration of troops, but also avoid the danger of being hit by heavy firepower from the Japanese...

"Machine gun team, suppressive fire, quickly, stop these damn China Tubal Road!"

Upon receiving the order, a Japanese machine gunner immediately turned his gun and fired at the charging Eighth Route Army.

"Tu tu tu tu!——"

The Eighth Route Army soldier who rushed in front fell to death, and the other two soldiers quickly ducked to find a bunker to avoid, and the offensive collapsed.

However, the two combat groups on the side and rear opened fire quickly.

"Pah, pah pah -"

The Japanese machine gunner, who had no time to dodge, was shot in the chest and fell onto the machine gun.

The Japanese sub-shooter next to him cursed "Baga" and quickly moved the body of his companion to fill the position.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a grenade suddenly fell from the sky.

There was a loud "boom", and before the Japanese machine gunner had time to dodge, he and his gun were blown away.

On the basis of the three-three system tactics, Wang Chengzhu added the infantry-artillery coordination tactics. To put it simply, when the infantry launched an attack and was suppressed by enemy machine gun fire, the artillery immediately launched precision bombing.

In this way, the power of the three-three system tactics was immediately greatly enhanced.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

The artillery in the rear kept firing, coupled with machine gun fire, suppressing the Japanese firepower.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of the fourth and fifth companies maintained a tacit understanding of the three-by-three formation and continued to move forward.

For a moment, the Japanese, who were already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of firepower, were stunned and had no idea how to resolve the independent battalion's attack.

However, the soldiers of the independent battalion always maintained their formation and suppressed firepower, moving step by step.

Soon, each combat group rushed to the top of the unknown hillside one after another.

The next battle was simple. The surviving Japanese on the position tried to defeat the independent battalion using their most proud bayonet tactics.

However, the soldiers of the Independent Battalion did not give them this chance at all. They pulled the triggers one after another before the Japanese came closer.

“Pah, pah, pah, pah!—”

After a burst of gunfire, the Japanese 4th Squadron on the top of the mountain, including the squadron leader Yagyu Poku, were all killed, and no one was spared.

The entire battle took less than 40 minutes in total from the independent battalion's artillery battery fire to the fourth and fifth companies launching attacks to destroy the Japanese 4th Squadron.

Of course, the Independence Battalion was not without casualties, including 16 killed and 22 injured (5 seriously injured and 17 slightly injured).

There will be casualties in war, especially in the era of hot weapons.

Although the independent battalion had the advantage in strength and firepower, as the attacking party, it was able to capture the Japanese position at such a small cost of casualties and annihilate an entire squadron of Japanese soldiers. It was completely regarded as a great victory...

After the battle damage statistics were compiled, Xu Hailang, Tian Shuisheng and others were shocked.

You know, this is a critical battle, not an ambush battle like in the past.

"Is this the three-by-three tactic? Isn't it too powerful?"

"Without this tactic, even if we had fire support from the artillery company, our casualties would have been many times greater, right?"

…

In contrast to everyone's exclamation, Wang Chengzhu had a cold face and seemed a little dissatisfied: "The quality of the soldiers is still a bit insufficient. Not only is their cooperation not tacit, but their marksmanship also needs to be improved.

Otherwise, with the suppression of artillery and heavy machine gun fire, the casualties can be reduced by at least half!"

"Ah, this..."

Xu Hailang and others didn't know how to answer the call for a moment.

Wang Chengzhu continued with a stern face: "Don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose. I let you watch the battle, not to let you be complacent here, but to accumulate experience in actual combat, find your shortcomings, and then target them accordingly."

Do intensive training!

Do you understand?"

"clear!"

Xu Hailang, Tian Shuisheng and others straightened up and agreed with a bang.

Wang Chengzhu: "Okay, next Lijiapo will be attacked by the first company, the second company, and the third company, while the fourth company, the fifth company, and the cavalry company will serve as the reserve team."

"Remember, don't charge too hard. Our target today is not just the Japs on Lijiapo, but also the main Japs in Luliang, Jiaxian, and Fangshan counties.

When I tell you to retreat, you must retreat in time!"

"Don't be too excited, lose control for a moment, and destroy all these baits, otherwise I will only ask you to let the big fish behind you go!"
