It turned out that on the opposite devil's position, there were indeed some devils like marmots, digging trenches, everyone was dumbfounded, could it be that this devil was scared and wanted to start holding his position?

No, that's right, the devil is indeed a little scared, and every time he attacks, he suffers heavy casualties, and he generally has a fear mentality, and he doesn't dare to charge at will.

So at this time, the Japanese army began to advance civil engineering operations again, and approached the position of the national army little by little by digging trenches, and everyone's psychology was the same, and they would rather work hard to hoe the ground than be shot.

It seems that the devil has also become an old fritter, and now they can only watch the devil approach inch by inch, and there is no way to take the devil.

It's a bit like the feeling of cutting flesh with a blunt knife, every time, although it is not fatal, it is very uncomfortable, because it will eventually be cut to death, and the feeling of sitting and waiting to be killed is really desperate.

What to do? It's better to sit back and fight back, it's better to fight him to death, it's better than waiting for death, if you can fight to die, it's worth it, and if you escape, it's even more worth it. Everyone couldn't hold back and began to discuss.

can't be like this, Niu Gu repeatedly told himself to be calm, don't be impulsive at this time, maybe the devil is waiting for them to be impulsive, and the heavy firepower of others is always unable to catch you jumping off the ground.

"Do you want to hit them with mortars and grenadiers?" The bamboo pole hand itched to suggest, "No", Niu Ji shook his head, now he can't show the heavy weapon, as soon as he takes it out, it will immediately make the devil have the illusion that this is the main force.

Because now the positions on the whole front are not the main force, and they are not in the first place, and now they want to show weakness, and they cannot invite a large number of troops and firepower from the devils to come; In the past, there was no problem, because there was a backer behind it, but now there is none, and I am afraid that I will not be able to carry it.

Devils generally judge the level of the Chinese army by weapons, if it is only a rifle light machine gun, it is estimated that it is a squad platoon, if there is a heavy machine gun, it must be a unit above the company.

If there is a mortar, it is basically a unit above the battalion level, and if there is an infantry artillery, it is even more terrible, it is definitely a regimental or even division-level troops.

If it is a barge gun with a full color of military uniforms, it must have met a big officer, because this must be the guard of a certain chief officer, even if you fight hard, you have to take them down, and taking them down is equivalent to breaking the command system of this army.

If it is a non-stop crackling gunfire as soon as it goes into battle, it is estimated that it is a recruit unit, and if the rifle is scattered and unhurried, and the machine gun is often fired in short bursts, it must be a veteran unit or the main force, and it must be treated with caution.

In fact, the reverse is also true, the national army will also judge the level and number of people according to the weapons used by the Japanese army, generally just rifle light machine gun grenadiers, just a squad, only about 50 people, according to the balance of three or four to one, the national army needs at least one integrated company or reinforced company to compete.

If there are heavy machine guns, especially when there are mortars, it is normal for the Japanese squadron to be established, about 180 people, and the national army must have at least one battalion of men to compete.

If there is an infantry artillery, there is basically a brigade establishment, and the Japanese infantry brigade is not calculated according to the three-three system, not according to three infantry corps plus a brigade headquarters of about 600 people.

Instead, it is necessary to increase the machine gun squadron (8-12 heavy machine guns of about 180 people), the artillery squad (2 92 rifle guns of 55 people), the transport squadron (about 100 people), etc., the entire brigade is about 1,000 people, and the national army needs the strength of two or three regiments or a brigade/division to contend with.

An infantry wing of the Japanese army has three infantry brigades, plus a wing headquarters, an artillery squadron, an anti-tank squadron, a transport team, a field kitchen, an ammunition team, a communications team, a cavalry team, etc., nearly 4,000 people, and the national army needs at least three divisions or one corps to contend with it.

If there is a large number of cavalry, trucks, tanks, field heavy artillery, and even army aviation, it can definitely be a division, at least at the brigade level.

If the Japanese division is a standing A division (also known as a rake/pack horse division), it has jurisdiction over 2 brigades (2 infantry wings per brigade), including one wing of engineer, one cavalry, one artillery and one baggage unit, a total of 8 wings.

In addition to reconnaissance, communications, field hospitals, and so on, the strength of the main standing army divisions of the Japanese army is usually 24,000 to 28,000 men, and the national army must have at least two to three group armies and four to six armies to contend with.

During the war, the Japanese army assigned special forces and supplementary personnel to each division and regiment, so that the number of men commanded by a division and regiment could reach more than 40,000. In China, the battlefield is almost invincible, and only by using the theater to deploy three or four group armies can it barely contend with it.

The Japanese Army's B/C Division is a three-unit division with three infantry wings, three infantry brigades and one infantry artillery squadron, with an establishment of 1.3-18,000 people.

……

In the past, they didn't care, anyway, behind them were the main forces such as the battalion and regiment, and the devil also knew that now there is no more, but there is no position on the whole line, only the seventh company has mortars and infantry artillery here.

This is not to tell the devil openly, the main force of the division or division is here, you come here to attack, I will go, this is simply setting yourself on fire, so you must keep a low profile now, and you can't use heavy firepower until the last resort.

Moreover, Niu Gu still had a selfish heart, thinking that if conditions permitted, he would also want to withdraw with these mortars and this rifle gun.

At that time, it will also be very useful in other places, that is, when it will accept new recruits and expand the establishment in the future, this will be a very powerful firepower support and a reason to give priority to the expansion.

This is because now the Ministry of Military Affairs has issued a statement, saying: As long as the troops in the Shanghai War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression are killed, no matter how many losses they have, regardless of whether they are central or local, they will give priority to replenishing new recruits, and even expand their establishment, so as to encourage them.

"Why don't you try the last method and see if it works this time?" Sangou reminded Niu Gu that he remembered that last time he threw grenades at the devil to stop the approaching operation.

Of course, Niu Gu remembered the last fight, but it would consume a lot of grenades, and he was not afraid before, because there was a battalion headquarters and regimental headquarters, which could replenish ammunition.

Now I can't do it, I go it alone, because if I want to retreat, I don't need to receive so much ammunition stock, almost one person has more than one base, and I don't have to carry so much ammunition on the road.

Therefore, now that we have to fight with the devil, Niu Gu is not reluctant to give up that bit of ammunition, but to consider how to live in the future, in case you fight here for a few days, and the ammunition will be consumed in one day today, how will you live in the future?

"Wait, wait for the devils to dig up, and we'll fight with them with bayonets." Niu Gu finally made this difficult decision, and only such a decision is more compromised and reasonable.

Niu Gu called the first and second platoons left in the position of the Eighth Company and the Ninth Company to come back, there was no way, there were too few soldiers to disperse the battle, and it was necessary to save troops, shrink the defensive line, and hold on to a little.

Then all the bayonets and grenades were prepared, and when the devils dug up and connected with the positions of the Seventh Company, everyone fought street battles in the trenches with the devils.

As long as they kill together in a small space, the heavy firepower of the devils will not be able to exert themselves, and out of familiarity with their positions, the Seventh Company should have a certain chance of winning.
