721. A general attack without artillery support

Whew!

Hundreds of pairs of feet, rushing on the field in the middle of the night, making a fast and short sound, they rushed forward with all their strength against the slight night wind, even if there was a sea of fire or a mountain of knives in front of them.

"Smack!"

The inevitable situation appeared, it was the gunfire of the devil sentry, the devil sentry saw hundreds of ghost-like Chinese soldiers suddenly rushing from the dark night, and before they had time to call their own people, they immediately opened fire.

The peculiar sound of the 38 guns broke the quiet night sky, and also broke the silence of the Japanese position, and the sleeping Japanese soldiers, like a pot of boiling water, immediately boiled.

Almost at the same time, a number of flares were immediately fired in the sky above the devil's position, illuminating the night sky as well as daytime, and the devils on the ground, like ants on a hot pot, ran around and quickly seized the firing position.

The speed of the devil is really fast, and it only takes less than half a minute for the machine gunner to shoot from the time he wakes up to the time he shoots, and it is estimated that there are ghost machine gunners who are sleeping next to the machine gun.

On the side of the Seventh Company, half a minute is only halfway through, a distance of nearly three hundred meters, and even if the heavily armed soldiers sprint hard, it will take at least nearly a minute.

Under the flares, the devil's machine gunner immediately pressed the magazine and opened fire, the 92 heavy machine gurgled and screamed, and the seven companies that were charging immediately fell to the ground.

Because it was said in advance, if the devil's rifle sounded sporadically, he would rush forward directly, and if he was about to rush to the front of the position, the devil's machine gun screamed, and he didn't care, he turned into the trench and blew up the devil's machine gun with a grenade.

If, halfway through, the devil's machine gun screams, they all have to lie down at once, and they must not charge again.

As soon as the devil's machine gun fired, the mortar on the bamboo pole was busy, and with the help of flares, the devil's firepower was clear at a glance.

The bamboo pole personally adjusted the muzzle of the gun, quickly corrected the position, and then asked the ammunition man to hand him a 50-caliber grenade and put it into the muzzle with his own hands.

With a "boom", the grenade rose into the air, and after a while, the devil's 92 heavy machine was blown up into a fire, followed by the second and third guns.

After a round of rapid fire from the four mortars, they basically extinguished several of the devils' hastily fired firepower, and the bamboo pole immediately asked people to put away the mortars and run forward with the infantry.

"Get up, rush!"

Before the three dogs lying on the ground got up, several platoon leaders and squad leaders gave orders to their subordinates, and rushed forward with the men and horses of their squad.

Now, due to the urgency of time, there is no time to adjust the group's straggler formation, and they are basically running forward in a swarm, but in the process of running, they are constantly adjusting.

When charging a lot, due to the limitations of the terrain, it is impossible to be like a textbook, with a distance of more than five meters from the left and right, and more than ten meters from the front and back.

Especially when competing for time, I don't care so much, I can be as fast as I can, but in the process of rushing, I should pay attention to adjusting the distance between me and my surrounding comrades.

The main thing is to pay attention to where the enemy's machine gun firing point is, the strafing surface is wide, there are several machine guns, and where the fire coverage is. Try to spread out with your comrades around you so as not to be targeted by enemy machine guns.

When you rush to within 100 meters, although it seems that you are about to succeed, you must know that the area within this distance, the further forward one meter, the more dangerous it is one meter.

Always be aware that enemy grenadiers or grenades will suddenly explode around you, and if you have good visibility in the daytime, you may be able to hide for a while.

But in the dark of night or in an environment filled with smoke bombs exploding everywhere, you can only ask for more blessings, and the dangers on the battlefield are too random.

Many times, someone will be hit by a stray bullet as soon as he shows his head, and someone will be unscathed even if he rushes through the entire enemy's heavily defended defensive zone.

This kind of thing can only be attributed to luck.

At present, because the quality of the individual soldiers of the Seventh Company has been honed well by Sangou in training and actual combat, the squad and platoon commanders can also master some basic tactical command.

Therefore, Sangou delegated a lot of simple commands to the platoon commander and even the squad leader, and the group cooperation of the whole company charge like this was handed over to the squad leader.

Only when it comes to the cooperation between the squad platoon or platoon and platoon, will they come to the side of the company commander Sangou, but because these platoon leaders and squad leaders are too familiar with each other, many times, they don't need Sangou, they do things very well.

Of course, no matter how familiar you are, the pre-war preparations still have to be done very carefully, and Sangou will take the trouble to arrange several plans, including the preparatory plan, which is what people now call the plan, and constantly picking out the details.

In tonight's charge, most of the squad leaders in front are now conducting group command, forming a trapezoidal formation of stragglers, rushing quickly, and after encountering machine gun fire, they immediately lie down, and after the enemy's machine gun fire is killed, they immediately begin to charge.

Besides, on a battlefield full of gunfire, most of a person's orders, no matter how good his voice is, can only be heard in the range of a platoon.

The best effect is that within a squad area, within a few tens of square meters, can the commander's combat orders be clearly heard.

Therefore, those company commanders roared, and the whole company could immediately execute them, either in a relatively quiet environment, or in the tactical poor anti-war drama.

A company of more than 100 people, in a straggler formation, almost the size of a football field of nearly 1,000 square meters, even during training, they have to roar with all their strength to be heard, let alone under the sound of gunfire.

Unless the order is issued step by step, after the company commander gives an order to the people around him, the people around him convey the order, if it is a positional battle, it is necessary to have a special communication corps, otherwise, if the words are passed from person to person, in the end, many meanings are wrong.

Now when the whole company needs to be able to hear the company commander's commands, most of them have been replaced by communicators, horns and signal flares.

The improvement of the quality of individual soldiers in the Seventh Company and the rapid growth of the combat command ability of the squad and platoon commander have liberated Sangou in a timely manner, and he is now spending more energy on being an observer and commander.

For example, during positional warfare, we should try to stay at the company headquarters and not leave, not because we are greedy for life or fear of death, but because we have to wait for the communication officer of our superiors there, and when the conditions are good, we have installed a temporary wartime telephone, and we must stay by the telephone and receive orders from our commanders at any time.

At the same time, according to the changes on the battlefield, it is necessary to respond in a timely manner, and send messengers to contact the platoon commander and the superior commander, so that he can really play the role of a commander.

Before, he always personally led the troops to rush forward, which was the need for morale and guidance, but now not only the Seventh Company, but even the 305th Regiment and even the 51st Division, there is no need to worry about morale at all, killing devils, there is no need to mobilize at all.
