The word retreat is easy to say and very fast to execute, but for the night attack on the Japanese army that I personally experienced, these two words were a disaster of blood and fire, and the tragic situation of the night attack on the Japanese army was a foregone conclusion from the time when all the rifle machine gun fire of the teaching brigade was fired.

The retreat process of Lieutenant Saito's unit was no less than the firepower of the teaching brigade suffered during the attack, and when the soldiers of the 4th Company of the 598th Regiment had not yet entered the main position in Luotang, the teaching brigade still had some scruples.

The light and heavy firearms of the whole brigade were all aimed at the Japanese army, Zhang Wei gave an order to drive the Japanese troops away, and the Czech machine guns and ZB37 heavy machine guns were all fired in bursts, grenadiers, gun grenades, and the grenades thrown by the soldiers were thrown out of the boxes in groups of three or five.

In particular, a large number of grenades were thrown down from the high ground by the officers and men of the teaching brigade, and one after another, under the flares, rolled down from the positive slope, blowing up a smoke screen on the high ground, turning the retreat of the night attack Japanese troops into a road of death.

Rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenades, grenades, grenades and mortar shells were intertwined, creating a feast of "firepower" for the Japanese army, who had only rifles in their hands.

One after another flares rose into the air, maintaining the same brightness as daytime on the positive slope high ground, and on the devastated positive slope high ground, there were scattered retreating Japanese troops, and the Japanese detachment commanders, blowing their whistles briefly, each led the team to retreat, and every time they took a step forward, Japanese soldiers would die under the light and heavy fire of the teaching brigade.

The retreat road of the Japanese army in the night attack was very embarrassing, and the infantry on the inclined position suffered heavy losses, and they only had the 38 type in their hands, compared with the light and heavy firepower of the teaching brigade, it was not enough to see at all, and the retreat was organized, and the Japanese army could not organize the cover fire by relying on rifles and even a decent rear of the palace.

Only the light machine gun grenadiers that did not go to the high ground fired at the position of the teaching brigade for a while, and the grenades fired by the ** type heavy grenadier barrels with a long range caused some trouble to the teaching brigade, and some grenades were thrown into the trenches of the teaching brigade, and those eleven-year-old light machine guns, because the distance from the teaching brigade was too far away, and they were in the high ground, so the light machine gun firepower can only be said to be better than nothing.

The Japanese troops under the high ground covered the firepower, and reluctantly took over the troops of the night attack on the Japanese army, and the Japanese detachment that ran at the end withdrew to the high ground, and the 82 mortars of the heavy fire squadron of the teaching brigade came to concentrate fire, and the infantry of the first detachment, only three people were left who were bombed, and the operation of the Japanese night attack troops on the high ground on the positive slope ended with the tragic destruction of this nearly one detachment.

……

After withdrawing, Lieutenant Saito did not stop, and after collecting the concealed light machine gun group and grenadier group, he did not even count the number of people, and withdrew to the starting area in embarrassment, and the night attack Japanese army left in Luotang was a squad leader, four detachment leaders, etc., a total of 64 corpses or complete or fragmented corpses, and the total number of the entire night attack force was only more than 100 people, and it hit the south wall of the teaching brigade, and more than half of the night attack Japanese troops were left on the positive slope of the Luotang Heights.

In order to defeat the night attack of the Japanese army, the teaching brigade knocked out countless guns and bullets, and the dead bodies of the 4th company of the friendly 598th Regiment after the Japanese raid were raided by the Japanese army, and the dead bodies of the Japanese army killed by the teaching brigade covered the entire positive slope position.

The trenches left behind by the 4th Company of the 598th Regiment were also full of corpses and stumps of officers and men killed in battle by the two armies, and dense bullet holes could be seen everywhere on the ground.

……

The trenches of the brigade were filled with heat, the barrels, the barrels, the sandbags of the trenches and the bodies of each soldier, there was a stream of heat, the muzzles of the guns were still smoking, the bullet casings were everywhere in the trenches, and in order to repel the Japanese troops, all light and heavy firearms were firing at the maximum speed possible.

Zhang Wei stood in the trench, took off his steel helmet, the Zhongzheng rifle in his hand, the magazine exuded heat, and the arm that pulled the bolt was very sore. The heat and urgency in the array had long since dispelled the chill of the night, and Zhang Wei only felt happy and dangerous.

Before the whole brigade opened fire, the vanguard of these Japanese troops was not even 30 meters away from the position of the teaching brigade, if it were not for the firepower of the teaching brigade was strong enough, the Japanese army was likely to break into the position, the legendary "long live charge" and "white-knuckle assault," is also worthy of the name, a group of madmen in the big night, howling, whistling, all holding bayonet rifles to engage in group charge, before the charge there are grenadiers and light machine gun fire raids, the scene is really terrifying.

Such a sharp, fast white-bladed impact, Zhang Wei has not touched a few times, he fought, mainly firepower, this kind of battle, after teaching the brigade to become an army, this is also the first time to "enjoy" the onboard charge tactics, many soldiers who teach the brigade, is also the first time

Mu Chao walked briskly.

"Captain, the devil has retreated! The third squadron received several grenades on its side, killing several brothers. ”

Zhang Wei turned his head and saw that there was some chaos in the position of the third squadron, thinking that he had been hit by a grenade thrown by the Japanese army.

"Let the brethren hurry up and set up their defenses, prepare their positions, and count the casualties!" Zhang Wei said, threw the Zhongzheng rifle in his hand on the trench, and ordered the signal corps to call the squadrons to continue to be on guard and clean up the fortifications.

"All of them! Count the casualties and strengthen the fortifications! ”

In the trenches, the platoon leaders of each squad shouted for the soldiers to switch from combat to readiness.

Mu Chao: "Captain, this round of attacks on the dog day is really ruthless, just when we are slack, if it weren't for our brothers' quick reaction and fierce fighting, it is not fair to say whether this position can be saved." ”

"This kind of battle is also the usual trick of the devil, today this is really dangerous, let the brothers learn a lesson, no matter what time you can't slack off, strengthen the awareness of prevention, and, to deal with this kind of fighting, you have to rely on firepower." Zhang Wei said thoughtfully.

There are many lessons to be learned from this battle.

First of all, we must pay attention to prevention ideologically, and we must not slack off, and the teaching brigade is a little relaxed tonight, and we must not loosen the strings in the future, otherwise, we may not have such good luck next time, and before deploying at night, we must also take into account in advance the possible night white-knuckle assault of the Japanese army.

Defeated the Japanese army, in addition to the necessary sense of vigilance, Zhang Wei was more sure in his heart of the way to deal with the Japanese army's white-edged impact, in addition to firepower, or firepower!

Being able to repel the Japanese army tonight, teaching the brigade to be relatively wealthy and strong, and its own firepower is a very important factor, in exchange for other light and heavy equipment and squad machine guns, grenadiers and grenades are not fully equipped with ordinary ** troops, the position is afraid that it will be lost long ago, and the defeat of the fourth company of the friendly 598th Regiment is an excellent example (regardless of the sense of vigilance, hardware, the company's grenadier canisters, gun and grenade rations are not up to standard, and it is a shortage of catties and two)

Before the white-knuckle attack, the Japanese army will also use the covering firepower in its hands to attack the target position, so this white-knuckle attack tactic also has considerable technical content and organizational strength.

In the final analysis, against the white-knuckle attack of the Japanese army, it is necessary to have sufficient firepower, light and heavy machine guns, mortar grenadiers, and even small-caliber flat-firing guns, and a cross-fire network composed of battle defense artillery, and reasonable allocation of firepower, so as to carry out an all-round attack on the attacking Japanese army, so as to defuse the impact of the Japanese army!

……

Shortly after the battle, when Zhang Wei and the officers and men of the whole brigade were on post-battle alert, the troops of the 598th Regiment of the friendly army drove to the position of the teaching brigade behind the position......
