Chapter 569: Can Grenades Still Be Used Like This?

You must know that the Japanese army in the entire Tongliao City is still a complete squadron, even with the addition of sappers and baggage soldiers, there are now only seven. Among them, there are only five regular infantry squadrons. Except for one and a half divisions and regimental headquarters, there is only one infantry squadron in important positions.

As for the seventy or eighty armed expatriates who were temporarily replenished, this old man did not treat them as soldiers at all. The young and middle-aged Japanese expatriates in Tongliao City have already been exhausted on the front line of Kongjiawobao. The rest of the people, old and young, did not even have a half-grown child who was not a bayonet.

How much combat power these people have, I'm afraid only God knows. The vast majority of people who can't even shoot a gun just can't even make up the numbers. And as a Japanese, although it is not soft to kill the Chinese, he is really hesitant to let him drive these old people and children who have not received any military training in his country to the battlefield.

It's not that his heart is better than that of Chuan and Mi, and he can't bear to let these people go to the battlefield. It's really these people who can't really be mentioned on the battlefield. Originally, these people were placed at the junction of the first and second courtyards and the fence of the second courtyard, so that they could just shoot outside if necessary. But these guys proved to be very difficult to accomplish even this obviously super easy task.

These were not those soldiers who had been part of the Imperial Army and had undergone rigorous military training. Although the determination to serve the empire is no worse than that of a soldier, the idea of dedicating oneself to the holy war is as fanatical. But with no military training, many times they not only fail to help, but often delay things.

On the battlefield, it's not just fanaticism and dedication that can solve a problem. One-third of the courtyard was lost because these expatriates not only failed to play a role when the Anti-Japanese Union came in, but they themselves were in a mess first. When he retreated in a panic, he also broke down one of his second lines of defense.

In fact, for these people who have no combat experience at all and have not received any military training. No matter how fanatical the mind is, it cannot withstand the effect of bullets and grenades. The previous vow of fighting the enemy to the end has not cooled, and when the compatriots around him are defeated or blown away by grenades, the previous frenzy is replaced by a rapidly rising terror.

So he fled, and he fled as far as he could. It has become the first choice for many people in the case of obvious over-shock. As a result, instead of holding the position, the regular army garrison area of the second courtyard was disrupted. If it weren't for the commander of a squadron commanding the commander who gave the order to open fire on the spot, regardless of accidentally injuring these armed expatriates, I am afraid that even the second courtyard would have been lost.

The expatriates do not resist, and the strength of the regular army is limited, so it cannot be dispersed and used unless it is absolutely necessary. Therefore, he has always been very cautious in the use of force. Although the 14th Division began to garrison Tongliao at the beginning of this year, it was a headache for these labyrinthine alleys for the 14th Division. It's easy to spread the forces out, but it's another thing to try to assemble them.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to deal with the enemy army that had penetrated into his heart first. Otherwise, all his forces can only be pinned down here. As long as the northeast of the county is kept and the Anti-Japanese Federation develops in depth in the urban area, it will not be able to go all out.

And as long as this area is guarded, it can cooperate with the Tongliao Police Station in the central city of Tongliao, the core area of the Tongliao County Government, as well as the Yuantong Temple in the south of the city, and the two important support points in the west of the city and East Tailong, so as to gain time for the arrival of reinforcements as much as possible.

Compared with the opponent who has made up his mind, Li He, who personally led the team to fight, has more headaches. The previous battle, although it squeezed the Japanese army out of the alley in front of them. However, due to the lack of troops, under the condition of trying their best, they could only seize one-third of the courtyard. The remaining two courtyards were still firmly controlled by the Japanese army.

The passages connecting the three large courtyards were blocked by condescending crossfire and grenadiers from the ridges of the houses within the range of the Japanese machine guns using their own control, and in the temporary repair fortifications with sandbags. In particular, not only can it hit the troops inside the courtyard, but it also poses a considerable threat to the troops on the streets outside the courtyard, and the grenadier canister gives him a great headache.

Although he organized a few veterans with good marksmanship, he used the high rate of fire of his automatic rifles to try to suppress the machine gun fire of the Japanese army. However, in the face of the Japanese army's simple fortifications covered by sandbags and the fire cooperation of the flanks, especially the fire suppression of grenadiers, it was helpless.

Although several Japanese machine gunners were defeated, it was obviously difficult to completely suppress them. The grenadier used the ridge as a cover, which was even more difficult to knock out. The limited forces at hand could not form superior firepower to suppress them when they had to block the continuous counterattacks of the Japanese troops inside and outside the courtyard.

Grenades were used to attack, and the grenades were either rolled down the slopes on both sides of the ridge to the bottom of the house, or were forced to cross the line by Japanese machine-gun fire. The grenade Lang took a lot of effort, but it couldn't blow up these two planes less than fifty meters away from him, but he looked down on the Japanese machine gun fire point in his entire control range.

Li He organized several fighters with the farthest and highest accuracy of grenade throwing, trying to use long-distance precision throwing to blow up the two machine gun fortifications with imitation Su F grenades. But the Japanese army had apparently prevented this a long time ago. Not only were the locations of these two fortifications extremely tricky, but also the riflemen were placed under cover.

Perhaps it was the superiority in strength that made the Japanese army not care whether the lights were bright or not. In the darkness of the street lamps on the street and the surrounding houses, the electric lights in this courtyard actually illuminate the entire courtyard. And since the beginning of the battle for this courtyard, the Japanese army has never been stingy with the use of flares.

The generosity of the Japanese army made the courtyard controlled by Li He's subordinates always under sufficient light. As soon as the thrower got out of cover and tried to throw the grenade in his hand, the rifleman on that side immediately opened fire. Within a few minutes went up several god pitchers, two sacrificed and one seriously injured.

In the end, Li He, who simply didn't do anything, concentrated everyone to carry explosives and wanted to send someone to even serve the house. It's just that these two firing points of the Japanese army are behind the Japanese positions on the other side of the yard. Under the tight blockade of the Japanese firepower, the troops could only stare dryly if they could not break through.

Seeing that the position on the opposite ridge was extremely tricky, and the firing boundary covered all the Japanese machine gun fire points in the control area in this courtyard, as well as the light machine guns and grenadiers that used the chimney and the ridge as a cover, Li He, who had tried almost all the methods, but still could not solve it, was helpless.

The few rockets on hand had already been fired. The only large-caliber machine gun was knocked out by the Imp grenadier when it departed from the selected firing point. He didn't have a direct aim at the firepower, so he insisted on taking these two firepower points that were only more than 50 meters away from him, and there was no way at all.

Relying on automatic rifles alone, it is difficult to form suppressive firepower due to insufficient troops. And if these two firepower points are not knocked out, it will not only pose a considerable threat to their own development in depth to the Japanese position. Even the troops in the courtyard who blocked the continuous counterattack of the Japanese army were also quite a big threat.

Just when Li He had a headache with the firepower of the two Japanese soldiers, he didn't want someone to help him solve one of them. Although the two wooden-handled grenades were not too powerful, they only blew up half of the ridge where the fire point was located. But it was enough to knock out one of the machine guns that was enough for him to feel surprised.

And what surprised him even more was that what even the god pitcher didn't do was solved by a yellow-haired girl in his eyes. The weapon used was a leggings that had been untied from the corpses of Japanese soldiers killed in battle, plus two grenades that he had stuffed into him.

When Li He turned his head, wanting to see how this woman had solved the problem in his eyes. This lady who didn't make a move, and when she made a shot, she was a bit of a blockbuster, but she was struggling with another legging with the bayonet on the rifle of a Japanese soldier who died in battle.

Seeing Li He turn his head and look at him in surprise, this very proud girl was not afraid to reach out directly from him to ask for a grenade. The only two grenades she had had had been used up just now, and if she wanted to do it again, she naturally needed to ask for it again from Li He.

But before she could stretch out her hand in front of Li He, she didn't expect the guy in front of her to grab her, turn around and run to a corner on the left. The girl, who hadn't broken free of Li He's big hand like an iron tong several times, looked at Li He with an angry face after being pulled to the place.

It's just that before she could open her mouth, she was pressed to the ground by Li He again. Just when she thought the guy had some bad intentions, several grenadiers from the Japanese positions landed where they had just been. If it weren't for Li He's move to take such a step faster, I'm afraid that this lady who had just revealed her hand would have gone directly to the west at this moment.

When the explosion fell, I saw that the place I was just in had been blown up and the bricks were flying sideways and in a mess. This girl, who was a little unconscious, looked at Li He, who was caught several times in her hands in the struggle just now, and was a little bloody.

Li He didn't have the heart to explain anything to her, and after she calmed down, the first thing he said was to ask her how she did it. The girl heard the urgency in Li He's tone, and she didn't explain, but just took two more grenades from Li He. After tying the two grenades to both ends of the gaiters, pulling out the fire rope and attaching the rope to the hand, he returned to his original position.

She cautiously stuck her head out of the half-man-high wall in front of her, and glanced with her eyes at the distance of another Japanese machine-gun fortification. After squatting on the ground and strapping the grenade leggings on his head with all his strength, he threw the gaiters in his hand towards the ridge of the Japanese machine-gun fortifications. And at the moment when the gaiters flew out, the rope was already pulled out at the same time.

The leggings with two grenades flew over the ridge and were accurately hung on the sandbags of the Japanese machine-gun fortifications on the opposite ridge. And the grenade, which was already on fire, did not give the Japanese any time to react. It exploded almost the moment it was hung on the sandbag, and the two grenades exploded almost immediately inside the Japanese machine gun fortifications, and the Japanese machine guns were dumb at that time.

Looking at the scene happening in front of him, Li He couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. In fact, this is also a kind of bundling method of cluster grenades, and he understands the truth, but he didn't expect that cluster grenades can be used like this. In Li He's impression, cluster grenades have always been used in bundles.

He is no stranger to this kind of usage of tying one at each end. However, in the case of the Anti-Japanese Union, this practice has always been used as a tripping mine. This is the first time he has seen this method of use, which is usually used as an ambush and a tripping block, and directly thrown out like a cluster grenade.
