Although it was not possible to kill all the Japanese paratroopers, the casualties of the Japanese paratroopers on Li He's side before landing were the highest in this airborne landing of the entire Japanese army on the Tongliao battlefield. Two Japanese paratroopers who landed in his defensive area were hit with the butts of a rifle as soon as they landed, and became two unlucky prisoners. And they were captives who were captured under the noses of their own people.

After catching these two unlucky eggs, Li He asked all the people in the position to see how these devil soldiers were different from what they usually encountered on the battlefield. It completely eliminated the soldiers' fear of these so-called "heavenly soldiers and generals" because of their first encounter with the Japanese paratroopers.

Of course, although he has received anti-airborne training, it is the first time he has seen the target in the original training class, and he has to take a closer look at what is so special about these things that fall from the sky. It's just that after seeing the corpses of the Japanese paratroopers who were killed and fell on their positions and the equipment on the two prisoners. Li He didn't care too much about how much combat power these Japanese paratroopers really had.

Although each of these Japanese paratroopers wore a Southern Type 14 pistol and a Type 30 bayonet, what was the use of this thing on the battlefield? Can a pistol, full of faults with only eight bullets, play a decisive role on the battlefield? Or are they ready to take bayonets, but fight with their opponents? Could it be that the firepower configuration of the Japanese paratroopers is like this?

Even if you bring spare ammunition, the bullets on your body carry the 38 rifle bullets inside. Are they going to use their pistols to fire rifle ammunition? After carefully inspecting the corpses of the Japanese paratroopers who fell into his position, as well as the equipment on the two prisoners, Li He was very confused about the weapons of the Japanese paratroopers.

What he couldn't figure out was whether the Japanese army was here to send the dead or to fight when they put the troops equipped in this way into the battlefield? Pistols, sabers, bayonets, and at most a few grenades, if you run into any fully armed army, you will be killed. Even if the number of troops is less than theirs, the result is the same.

Could it be that with these things, these paratroopers defeated several high-level headquarters of the national army during the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain? It's a little incredible, isn't it? Is the combat effectiveness of the little devils too strong, or is the combat effectiveness of the national army too poor? But no matter how bad the combat effectiveness is, at least there is a guard headquarters, and it will not be defeated by a group of little devils with stabs and pistols.

And all the people, except for the pistol, all the officers and non-commissioned officers still stubbornly wore the saber of the Japanese officer's emblem. Li He couldn't figure out that the area where the paratroopers landed should be enemy-occupied areas. What are you doing without a rifle, a machine gun, and a saber? Are you ready to use a tactical combination of a saber and a pistol to crush your opponents?

It wasn't until he opened the two Japanese weapon boxes that had fallen into his position and saw the Type 99 light machine gun, Type 38 carbine, and Type 92 heavy machine gun inside that Li He understood that the pistols on the Japanese paratroopers were really used for self-defense. Their real weapons were infantry weapons that were airdropped in boxes.

It was only after figuring out this matter that he was even more puzzled by the fact that these officers were wearing sabers when they were airborne, but they put their weapons in boxes and airdropped them separately. Even if the light and heavy machine guns are too bulky, it is impossible to carry a parachute jump on a person.

But the Type 38 carbine used by these paratroopers of the Japanese army was not much longer than the saber without a bayonet. Can you parachute with a saber, so you can't parachute with a rifle? Moreover, the paratroopers are troops that directly land in the core area of the enemy's army to fight, why are they not equipped with submachine guns with a fast rate of fire, but are equipped with the same weapons and equipment as ordinary Japanese troops?

It is not clear that the Japanese army's way of disposing this equipment is to learn from the German army in its entirety. Moreover, the Japanese army is also taking continuous improvements and researching umbrellas and new equipment on its own, trying to change this separation of man and gun. After the paratroopers landed, before they found the weapon box, they simply did not have combat effectiveness.

However, it is clear that some of the Japanese who are prone to extremes have not made any effort to improve their parachutes so that they can carry weapons when parachuting. On the contrary, it is on the body of the gun, and it exerts enough strength. In the second year, based on the Type 99 rifle, it was actually developed that could be divided into two sections before the airborne, put in the weapon bag on the chest, and combined after landing.

There is also a new paratrooper submachine gun that is suppressed on the basis of the 100 submachine gun, and the body can also be folded. Although the Japanese who went to the extreme could not completely solve the problem, it could be regarded as a disguised solution to the situation that the paratroopers could not carry weapons with them, and if they could not find the airdropped weapon box on the ground, they could only be beaten, and there was almost no room for retaliation.

But this new type of detachable, easy-to-carry rifle and submachine gun will be in actual combat for the first time next year, that is, in 42 years. Mass production will not begin until the year after next. And now the Japanese soldiers who do not have suitable umbrellas and weapons can only adopt this airdrop mode of separating people and guns.

And this airdrop mode, in the plain area of Yima Pingchuan, can still be used reluctantly. Because of the flat terrain, you can clearly see where your weapon case has been dropped. But if you land in the city, you have to find it slowly if you land in that yard or in that house.

Without weapons boxes, no matter how well-trained and brave the Japanese paratroopers were, they would become toothless tigers. The Japanese paratroopers who were now airdropped into Tongliao City were faced with this situation. The few weapon boxes that were airdropped into the city were all over the place. Under enemy fire, it is really not easy to find these weapon cases.

In fact, the top brass of the Japanese army only saw the glory of the German paratroopers on the European battlefield, but did not carefully analyze the German army's combat examples on the European battlefield. They did not know that paratroopers were not suitable for airborne operations in cities. The paratroopers who were parachuted into the city were difficult to assemble in a short period of time due to the constraints of the urban layout.

They couldn't assemble, and they didn't have the corresponding weapons and equipment in their hands. These paratroopers who were airdropped into the city, under the division and elimination of the opponent's superior forces, were almost equivalent to being slaughtered by the enemy themselves. Unless they are lucky enough to land, they will be able to find weapon crates or capture weapons from enemies. And this possibility is not impossible, but it is too small.

It's just that he hasn't waited for Li He to properly interrogate these Japanese paratroopers, what are the differences between them and ordinary Japanese troops in terms of technology and tactics, and what are the differences between their training courses and ordinary infantry. The most important thing is to find out why the Japanese paratroopers came up with these inexplicable fames.

And Li He always felt that this branch of the army was not suitable for the Japanese army to fight in cities and towns as they did today. Because the town was not a plain, the Japanese paratroopers could quickly assemble even if the area where they parachuted was very scattered. Parachuting into towns and cities can only be left to fight on their own.

It's just that when Li He wants to ask these things clearly and solve his doubts. These two unlucky guys who were taken prisoner were killed by the cold guns of the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side during the parade of his position, which made him feel sorry for a while. The Japanese troops in front of them may have received orders not to allow any living paratroopers to fall into the hands of the Anti-Japanese Union and divulge their secrets.

As soon as the two men stood up, they were killed by the cold guns that might have been aimed at the other side, and all of them were fatal with one shot. Within a distance of 30 meters, it is very clear whether it is the Japanese army or the anti-Japanese alliance. The fight was so accurate, presumably the Japanese army in front of him still did it consciously. Fortunately, it is not his own fighters who are injured, and there will be opportunities in the future.

He didn't believe that the prisoners he captured were killed by the Japanese army, but the other troops couldn't catch a single prisoner? As long as one captive survives and finds out about it, there won't be too many problems. Therefore, Li He didn't care about the Japanese army's killing and killing people.

However, for him, although the result of this interception operation is not too satisfactory, it is barely okay. Because even if the surrounding Japanese army received reinforcements from the air, they still did not have the ability to gnaw off his hard bone. Not only did the Japanese army in front of him not only have no ability to eat Li He's subordinates, but they were about to face his counterattack on all fronts.

Because after arriving on the ground, there were already few Japanese paratroopers left to land, and at the same time, a company of the 1st Battalion of the 53rd Regiment north of Li He broke through the layers of resistance of the small Japanese troops and had already moved closer to him. At the same time, several small units of his own troops scattered around the periphery before also broke through the blockade and interception of the Japanese army one after another during this period of time, and also relied on after paying a certain price.

The Japanese troops in front of him received dozens of reinforcements, while Li He, together with his own lost squads, got nearly a company. Together with a company of the 53rd Regiment that came over, all the people here have the highest position and rank of Li He, and according to the latest rules and regulations of the Anti-Japanese Federation, he, the battalion commander, is the supreme commander of course.

Li He, who has received reinforcements, according to his personality, will definitely not honestly confront the Japanese army in front of him here. The transfer to counterattack as much as possible is what he wants to do the most. Before, there were not enough troops in hand, so they could only stick here and confront the Japanese army. Now that he has received reinforcements, it would be a little too sorry for him if he was still here.

However, although he was focused on how to eat the remaining strength of the Japanese army on the other side, Li He also knew that there would definitely be a large number of scattered Japanese paratroopers around. If these people are allowed to move closer to the defending enemy on the opposite side, it will increase the difficulty of defeating the Japanese army in front of them, or at least eating up most of their troops.

Although he was a little hesitant at the beginning, Li He was quite resolute and divided the troops that were still not many in his hands at this time into two. In addition to the reinforced infantry platoon that he led to add two infantry squads, and a reinforced platoon formed by the original two infantry platoons in his hands, which was combined with part of the original two infantry platoons, to take an all-out counterattack against the Japanese army in front of him.

The remaining multi-company troops were completely disrupted with the squad as the formation, and the surrounding Japanese paratroopers were cleared. Especially those who were in the surrounding alleys before, and they had been caught and hidden by the Japanese army for so long. Although he was separated from the main force and fought separately, he also had a clear shape for such a long time, and he was put into the clean-up operation.

There was only one order given to the troops who were tasked with the clearance, and that was to destroy all the Japanese troops they could see. In a word, as long as you die, don't live. Moreover, we should not take into account the limitations of the operational area, take the current battlefield as the core, and gradually carry out search and eradication outward.

Because he knew very well that if he did not take advantage of the fact that the Japanese paratroopers were not yet concentrated, he would preemptively exterminate them. Even if they lack effective weapons in their hands now, once they are assembled, they cannot directly join the frontal battlefield. However, outflanking himself from behind his back will also affect his next battle, and even disrupt his plan to deal with the enemy in front of him first.
