Chapter 400: Ambush (Page 1/1)

The Japanese army attacked, and Zhang Wei judged from the report of the search soldiers that this group of Japanese troops galloping to reinforce was very likely to be the size of a brigade.

The top priority was to hold them back, and the tactical purpose of the Japanese army was simple, which was to rescue Kunlun Pass, which was being besieged by the Fifth Army.

From the Teaching Brigade to the New 22nd Division, the Fifth Army was given the task of blocking Japanese reinforcements.

A brigade, which is the most commonly used tactical unit of the Japanese army, in terms of comprehensive strength and firepower, an infantry brigade can attack an infantry division of the national army in a field battle.

If it is really the strength of an infantry brigade, the pressure on teaching the brigade is not small.

Judging from the march, the distance between the teaching brigade and the 65th regiment behind was very long, and the Japanese army was advancing quickly, and the teaching brigade had to fight this Japanese army alone in a short time.

However, Zhang Wei was very calm, didn't he train for so long just to cause more losses to the Japanese army with stronger combat ability?

In terms of momentum, we can't lose, and in terms of tactics, we must pay great attention to it.

After the order for combat readiness was issued, the whole brigade immediately changed from a state of rest to a state of combat readiness, and asked the telegraph corps to contact the 65th Regiment to report on the military situation.

The squadron leaders gathered at the brigade headquarters in the village for a meeting on the battlefield.

"This is the general situation of the Japanese army, and I will give the battle order below."

Zhang Wei went straight to the point, first introduced the movements of the Japanese army to the squadron leaders, and then put forward his own battle plan, on the table was a rough march map, on the map was a red pencil in the middle of the Nanbin Highway, representing the general location of the village where the teaching brigade was located.

So far, the Japanese army has not found the teaching brigade, thanks to the search soldiers, Zhang Wei has the first hand over the Japanese army, and discovered the enemy army early, taking advantage of this advantage, he planned to ambush the Japanese army first, taking advantage of its unpreparedness, a sudden attack, causing them a large number of casualties in an instant.

"The Japanese army will soon arrive, and each squadron will build fortifications first, the first squadron and the troops directly under the brigade, the brigade headquarters will strengthen the fortified positions in the village, the second squadron will dig trenches on the right side of the road, and the third squadron will build fortifications on the periphery of the village on the left side of the road."

"Dig as soon as possible, I only give an hour of time, after the construction is completed, the main force of the whole brigade enters the fields and straw piles, hides in the field, only a small number of soldiers are left in the fortifications to observe, and the main force is preparing for battle in the hidden area, preparing to ambush the Japanese army!"

Mu Chao asked: "Captain, we can completely take the Japanese army by surprise now, the brothers are hiding in the fields and straw piles on both sides, and then digging the fortifications carefully, is it a bit redundant?"

In Mu Chao's mind, there is still the idea of taking a vote and leaving, in the previous battles, the team led by Mu Chao and Zhang Wei was generally used as a key force of the assault force, and there were not many cases of fighting against the Japanese.

Mu Chao said this, indicating that the inherent impression of the previous battle still affected him.

But this time, it's a battle for the purpose of blocking!

What Zhang Wei wanted to do was to attack the Japanese army as much as possible, delay the Japanese army, and cause them greater losses.

"It's not redundant, it's not redundant at all, Mu Chao, think about it, the Japanese army is such a big team, let's fight their ambush, and it will start to cause casualties, but the positional battle is a matter of a while, the Japanese army will definitely quickly counterattack after we fire, and the fortifications must be dug."

Ambush is a combat method that is used to fight with a large group of Japanese troops, and it is impossible to continue fighting, so Zhang Wei divided this combat method of reinforcing the Japanese army into two stages.

First, in the form of ambushes, they hid in the fields and straw piles, and these natural hidden areas killed and injured the Japanese troops on a large scale, and then entered the dug fortifications and fought to the death with the Japanese army, turning to positional warfare and tug-of-war.

"First ambush the Japanese army in the field and haystacks, listen to the orders of the brigade, quickly enter the preset positions and trenches after the ambush, and prepare to fight to the death, ambush warfare, positional warfare, we must change it."

Zhang Wei was determined, and the officers had to follow the order, not to mention that they had no opinion on Zhang Wei's arrangement.

Zhang Wei then arranged for the classification and use of the heavy fire squadron: "The heavy machine guns of the heavy fire squadron are assigned to each squadron, and the mortar platoon follows the headquarters of our brigade and controls it in one squadron, divides the firing boundary, and ensures that the firepower can block the road and the surrounding wilderness. ”

"The 1st Squadron of the village, the 3rd Squadron of the position next to the village, and the 2nd Squadron on the opposite side of the village on the right side of the road, remember to link up a line of defense and block the way of the Japanese army."

"Yes!"

Li Shaoyan, squadron leader of the heavy fire squadron, replied.

He Jinhai, the platoon commander of the engineer platoon, also had an eager expression: "Captain, what about our engineer platoon?"

The engineer platoon has always been the elite in Zhang Wei's hands, and He Jinhai himself also hopes that this sharp knife can be used as soon as possible.

"Fight with the brigade headquarters, I will use you." Zhang Wei said.

The engineer platoon is elite, but at this time there is not much difference between using it and not using it.

After the battle order was read out, Qiu Wei, Mu Chao, Zheng Yiqun, He Jinhai, He Kun and others gathered in the team headquarters and looked at Zhang Wei.

Even when the strength of the enemy was estimated as a large group, the officers showed no fear.

Zhang Wei slammed his hand on the map and flicked the red pencil: "This battle is the first battle we taught the brigade, we have trained the soldiers for so long, raised the soldiers for a thousand days, and used the soldiers for a while, all cheer up, whether they can be used or not, it depends on today's battle!"

"Yes!"

……

After a short meeting, the squadron leader and platoon commander went down to the unit and personally led people to build fortifications, and Zhang Wei also joined the construction of village fortifications with the first squadron.

According to Zhang Wei's tactical vision, the preset fortifications to be constructed were mainly composed of three parts: the village, the open space next to the village, the open land, and the open land on the right side of the road opposite the village.

The open area has a good shooting range, and the village itself is a fortification.

These fortifications will not be used in ambush warfare, and will only reserve a small number of men and horses, and will not really play a role until the tug-of-war and blocking battle begins, and the officers and men of the brigade will be taught to stay in the straw piles and hide in the grass in the field during the ambush.

However, before the battle, it is necessary to teach the brigade to build the preset fortifications.

The soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Squadrons dug out of the open ground with picks, first built foxholes, and finally formed a line at the connecting point to form a trench, and then added auxiliary facilities such as machine gun trenches, concealment sections, and communication ditches.

The time was tight, the task was heavy, and the soldiers were very energetic, and He Kun's replatoon and He Jinhai's engineer platoon, which did not have a separate defense area and tasks, also invested in the construction of fortifications.

Zhang Wei and the 1st Squadron were busy working in the village, using sandbags brought by the baggage platoon to add soil, reinforcing the houses, and using shovels and pickaxes to open firing ports on the walls of the houses facing the direction of Nanning, that is, the direction where the Japanese reinforcements came.

At the same time, the departments distributed ammunition and inspected the rifle machine guns in battle.

The 1st Brigade of the 21st Wing was on its way to the Brigade, and the Teaching Brigade had prepared traps for them.
