There was no way that there was not enough ammunition and poor equipment before, if you annihilate the enemy with all firepower, even if you shoot all the bullets, I am afraid you will not be able to last for half an hour. If you don't practice white-knuckle warfare, how can you fight the Japanese army, and how can you capture enemy weapons for your own use? Set up an ambush at close range and attack after three shots.

The Japanese army fought in a tenacious manner, and did not surrender their guns when they were killed. And the firepower is strong and the ammunition is sufficient. The most important thing is that there is also the habit of destroying one's own weapons and equipment under unfavorable circumstances. If you don't play close-range ambush warfare and white-knuckle combat, even if you can barely eat the Japanese army in front of you, you won't be able to get anything.

On the contrary, they have to suffer losses, not to mention, but also consume ammunition that is extremely scarce and difficult to replenish. The price was paid, but no loot was captured that could make up for the losses, which was not a cost-effective battle for the Sekinai troops, whose own sources of weapons and ammunition depended on capture for most of their own weapons.

Only when the Japanese army did not react, it had already been mixed with the enemy. Relying on the superiority of numbers, broadswords and bayonets were used together, and in the shortest possible time, the Japanese army in front of them was completely annihilated. In this way, it is possible to get as many complete captured weapons as possible, and to capture as much ammunition as possible.

In the words of the old commander of the advance army, it was to mingle with the enemy when the enemy's guns were not shouldered, the guns were not hooked, and the horses were not saddled. Resolve the battle in the shortest possible time with superior forces and capture the enemy's weapons and ammunition for your own use. In the eyes of the Kannai troops, this is a cost-effective battle.

In order to deal with this tactic, the various units in the Guannai have worked hard to practice white-knuckle combat according to their own conditions. Although the number of equipment is generally insufficient because the bayonet is easy to break, the battle damage is too large, the production process is high, the requirements for raw materials are high, and the number of equipment is generally insufficient, but basically the large knife that is very simple to produce and manufacture is replaced.

After several years of experience in the War of Resistance behind enemy lines, although the marksmanship is due to the supply of ammunition, I dare not say how much has changed. But after hard work, the level of white-knuckle combat of these old eight roads is basically not low. Even if it is not as good as the Japanese army, it is not much worse.

After entering the Northeast to change their clothes, especially after being equipped with bayonets, these old eight roads have more confidence when fighting white-knuckle battles. However, the only thing that made these old Eighth Roads complain was that their broadswords were confiscated by the Anti-Union after entering the Northeast. This made the battalion commander from the 29th Army complain for a long time.

In addition, after arriving in the northeast, a large number of rapid-fire weapons such as submachine guns were added to the troops, and it was obvious that they would have some advantage in close combat. This battalion commander found that the number of Japanese troops intercepted was a little too much. Based on his years of experience in fighting the Japanese army, he immediately decided to fight a white-knuckle battle and close combat with the Japanese army.

After the start of the battle, although there was no artillery. But with the fire of five heavy machine guns and nine light machine guns secretly set up in ambush on the mountainsides on both flanks, and concentrate all the grenadiers. With the unprecedentedly dense firepower in his words, the entire formation of the Japanese army intercepted by him was broken up first.

He commanded three companies to take advantage of this short gap, one company to assault head-on, and two companies along the two flanks, under the cover of a large number of submachine guns concentrated in the first echelon, quickly inserted into the Japanese marching sequence, and mixed with the Japanese army as quickly as possible.

These two armies, with equal strength and roughly the same equipment, fought the largest white-knuckle battle in the entire battle, centered on Shijiazitun, which had only a dozen households, along the valleys on both sides. In this battle, the battalion that advanced into the army staged a tragic battle that only existed in the era of cold weapons with the hot weapons in their hands.

If the bayonet is bent, use the butt of the gun, and if the butt is broken, use the fist and the sapper shovel. Even the teeth and the stones that were picked up were used as weapons. The Heavy ran out of ammunition in the magazine, as the two armies were too close to each other to get a new one. Facing the Japanese troops rushing up around him, he used the light machine gun in his hand as a hammer, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed up were a crazy wheel.

The submachine gunner ran out of bullets in the magazine, and because he didn't have time to change the magazine, he was stabbed in the chest by the bayonets of the swarming Japanese soldiers, and directly pulled the grenade on his body. dragged a few or even a dozen Japanese soldiers around him on the road together. The lightly wounded did not get out of the line of fire, and the seriously wounded pulled grenades and died with the enemy.

After Okajima Osa, with another infantry brigade, saw that the situation was not good, and slipped away first. The company, which had originally seized the hill under the command of the battalion instructor to block the two Japanese troops approaching, also rushed down the mountain and joined the battalion-level white-knuckle battle.

By this time, this battalion, which was holding its breath from top to bottom, from the battalion commander to the fighters below. Except for the enemy army in front of them, all tactics were thrown aside. pounce on it, bite the devil in front of you, and drag them to hell even if you die. As soon as the charge horn sounded, the whole battalion attacked, those with guns took their guns, and those without guns picked up their shoulders and rushed out. Even the cooks rushed forward with kitchen knives.

The Japanese troops in front of them were all trained in white-knuckle warfare. But the battle broke out very suddenly, and the enemy troops rushed to the front in a short time, and they did not have much chance to get closer. A large number of submachine guns were concentrated, and as soon as Japanese soldiers approached, they swept and scattered the Japanese soldiers who had managed to get close again.

Before they could regroup back to back, the enemy had already rushed to the situation in front of them. The rigorous training that I had received couldn't be used at all. can only follow the requirements of the infantry drill code, after removing the bullets in the chamber, and fight hard with the opponent.

The reason why the Japanese army generally had an absolute advantage in the face of the Chinese army in the white-knuckle battle. In addition to the physical fitness generally surpassing that of the Chinese army, the spear is shot with great strength, and the stabbing action is extremely ferocious. And the rifle body of the rifle it is equipped with is slender, and it is more advantageous in white-knuckle warfare, which is a set of systematic white-edged tactics specially developed.

In white-knuckle warfare, the Japanese rarely relied on individual soldiers to fight with their opponents with bayonets, but had a set of effective tactical combinations. Once two or three Japanese soldiers are put back to back, this tactical confrontation is used in conjunction with each other. The Chinese army in front of them, even if it is a squad, is generally helpless, and is even likely to suffer heavy losses in the white-knuckle battle.

In contrast, the vast majority of Chinese troops, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, did not receive special training in white-knuckle warfare, nor did they deliberately study white-knuckle tactics. In the so-called hand-to-hand combat, it is not the tactics that are compared, but who is less afraid of death, and who is more fierce on the battlefield.

At that time, when the Kannai troops were fighting close combat with the Japanese army, they also used the hand-to-hand combat tactics of the civil war to deal with the Japanese army, but after suffering enough, they were very determined to find a way to specifically target the Japanese army. After a long period of exploration, a set of effective targeting tactics has also been formed.

It's just that this time everyone has equal strength, which is different from the previous time when the troops in the Guannai fought a white-knuckle battle, and concentrated absolutely superior forces. Once they are put together, the tactics that were originally effective are also disrupted. In other words, in this white-knuckle battle, all the tactics of the two sides involved in the war are no longer used, and in fact it has become a chaotic battle.

A few Japanese soldiers here have just been back to back, ready for white-knuckle combat. A burst of submachine gun fire broke up the Japanese troops who were leaning together. Before waiting for the scattered Japanese troops, they gathered together again and once again completed their tactical preparations. The soldiers of the advancing army over there had already rushed over with rifles with bayonets loaded.

The submachine gunners advancing here ran out of bullets, and before they could change their magazines, the Japanese bayonets on that side had already stabbed them. Everyone almost bit together one-on-one, and at the moment there was no way to use any tactics, so everyone simply scattered and fought. Pistols, rifles, and even light machine guns became tools of hand-to-hand combat.

In addition, they are all fierce and not afraid of death, and they will never let go if they do not fall. In this hand-to-hand combat, the performance of the two sides on the battlefield was actually half a pound against eight taels. No matter who falls, it will not make the other party feel better, at least one must be dragged on, or even several companions.

Although the battle did not last long, the number of troops involved in the battle was not large. However, the proportion of casualties in the battle was the highest in the battle of Liaoxi. After a fierce battle, the casualty ratio of both sides reached 1 to 1. Although the troops who advanced into the war were equipped with a large number of submachine guns, they took a slight advantage. But this advantage is not much better than not taking advantage of it.

When Cao Yafan rushed over from the front line of Luofugou with his headquarters, the largest white-knuckle battle of the Liaoxi Campaign had ended. The entire line of Shijiazi, in the valley of more than 500 meters long from east to west, was full of corpses of those killed in battle on both sides, as well as damaged weapons and equipment.

The three companies of the unit that participated in the white-knuckle battle, plus one company that was subsequently invested, totaled more than 700 officers and men in four companies. Except for more than 30 people who were slightly wounded, none of them survived. The Japanese troops intercepted by them, three infantry squadrons plus some artillery totaling more than 700 people, were all killed, and none of them escaped.

Looking at the messy battlefield in front of him, Cao Yafan, who was forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, was silent for a long time. If the battalion commander who was covered in injuries at the moment and was barely supported by two soldiers to stand up was a cadre of his own troops, he would be very angry, and he would have kicked him directly.

These are all old bones, and they are all old foundations for future expansion, so they are gone. Even if it was a brother army, Cao Yafan was surprisingly angry in his heart. If they are asked to fight this kind of battle, which is said to be a lose-lose battle, why is the headquarters trying to change their clothes for them?

No. 1 took such great painstaking efforts to make repeated concessions during negotiations with the Soviet Union, and as much as possible to meet the requirements of the troops of the advance army arriving in the northeast in terms of reequipment, and improved their equipment almost at all costs. At the same time, great efforts should be made to dispatch a large number of backbone cadres to train them and improve the technical and tactical level of the entire advance army.

On the battlefield, whether it is No. 1 or his immediate boss Li Mingfeng, he has repeatedly checked the use of the advance army. It is to avoid this kind of battle as much as possible, to ensure the vitality of the advance army as much as possible, and to preserve the foundation for the next great development of the troops in the Guannai.

But in this battle, more than 700 people were killed and wounded. Moreover, there are very few wounded who can be rescued in this battle. It can be said that the casualties of cadres and fighters are almost all permanent losses. Except for this battalion commander, the instructor and deputy battalion commander all died. Ten company commanders and instructors of four infantry companies and one heavy machine gun company, and only one instructor was left who was seriously wounded and unconscious.

Only one of the fifteen platoon commanders remained, and he was still the platoon commander of a machine-gun platoon belonging to the battalion's heavy machine-gun company. At the level of squad leader, the death rate reached 100 percent. With this casualty ratio, it can be said that the entire battalion was killed. In Cao Yafan's opinion, this result is undoubtedly quite annoying.

So many tried and tested cadres have been sacrificed, how long will it take to make up for such a big loss? And those backbones, how much more do they cost to cultivate? If the fight continues according to this casualty ratio, all the hard work of the headquarters will be in vain.
