Chapter 199: Change of Plans

Since a breakthrough has been found, this company commander did not hesitate. A platoon immediately led a squad as an echelon, and carefully descended to the interior of the mountain along the passage entrance. When you kill the guards who are guarding the entrance of the passage, but with their backs to the ** talk. Immediately disperse with combat groups as formations and gradually clear them, focusing on the direction leading to the two flanks and hills.

As for the frontal passage, it is extended as far forward as possible, and at the same time it is controlled by fire. His own troops are insufficient, and he wants to fully seize this fortification group in a short period of time, and he wants to develop rapidly in depth, but he does not have that strength. His most important task now is to open a channel for the follow-up troops to develop in depth and get rid of this Japanese fortification group.

It wasn't until he entered the interior of the mountain that he discovered that the fortifications inside the mountain were actually much simpler than he imagined and judged, and they were not very complicated. Perhaps the construction is very hasty, although the entire mountain is fully opened, but the overall structure of the interior is only two floors and three passages.

All the external fire points are mixed in the passage. As soon as you enter the interior of the mountain, you don't even need to deliberately observe, and these different firepower points can be seen at a glance. Of course, according to the consistent characteristics of the Japanese army's fortifications, even if they were built in a hurry, the structures inside were reinforced with reinforced concrete.

However, because of the rush of construction, the level of anti-artillery here is not high. In many places, the quality of the project is very rough at first glance, and there are obvious traces of rush work. The distance between the passages in several directions is also not very wide, and it can only accommodate two people to pass the guò quickly, and it seems very crowded when there is one more person.

Moreover, the inside of the passage is not a straight road, but is opened up by using the internal structure of the mountain. zigzags and turns, leaving a lot of hiding places for the troops who have infiltrated in. Of course, these can also be used as hiding places for the Japanese army, and they will also bring certain problems to the attacking troops.

As for those firing points, the firing range was painstakingly shot and calculated. However, in addition to the firing points of the six heavy machine guns, most of the firing points of the light machine guns were only connected to each other with gasoline barrels. The fire point in front of the passage is only the area of two gasoline barrels, which is quite narrow.

After putting down the main and secondary machine heavy, it is difficult to get in the third person. If it is hit by a direct-aim gun, it means that this point of fire will no longer have a chance to be activated. It can be said that the scale of this fortification group of the Japanese army is not small, and the firepower arrangement has also been carefully calculated. But traces of hasty construction can be seen everywhere.

Now that the situation has been figured out, what are you waiting for? Each of his troops had an automatic rifle, a pistol, a triangular bayonet, two submachine guns per squad, and three submachine guns and three submachine guns in the company. Although the equipment and training are not as elite as those of the reconnaissance brigades directly under the military region, they have also received strict professional training in reconnaissance.

But this company commander was not reckless, and he was quite steady, preferring to be slower and avoid shooting as much as possible. Gradual infiltration was taken, removing one by one. When necessary, use whispered submachine guns and whispered pistols as cover, and use the tactics of hand-to-hand solution with short three-edged bayonets for anti-United Nations scouts.

Coupled with the tunnel-like structure, and the fact that there is a lamp every 50 meters, although the light is not bright or even a little dim, but it can barely meet the needs, the interior of the entire Japanese army's huge fortification is barely clear, and it is not difficult to find the Japanese army.

When the reconnaissance company launched an attack on the inside of the Japanese fortifications, the Japanese troops inside obviously did not enter a tense situation, except for a few firepower points on duty, the Japanese soldiers inside were either chatting together or sleeping under blankets, and did not notice any unusual movements outside. No one noticed that the passage had been opened and that the enemy had infiltrated their interior.

Faced with such a situation, this old man was naturally not polite. Commanding his troops, although the progress was not fast, it was also a smooth clearing of the Japanese army in the mountains. It's just that good luck is still limited, and it can't always cover them. While clearing the two machine-gun bunkers on the top of the hill in front, a gunshot completely alarmed the Japanese troops in the entire fortification group.

Immediately, the entire fortification changed from the previous one-sided situation to a melee. The Japanese army, which had not yet been resolved, tried their best to clear out the enemy troops in the fortifications, and the anti-coalition scouts who had infiltrated the interior of the mountain also wanted to evacuate and capture this fortification group that contained the entire Kangbao Japanese fortification area in the shortest possible time.

The Japanese army invested more and more troops, but the narrow terrain in the fortifications limited the number of troops that the Japanese army put in at one time. The commander of the anti-union reconnaissance company who led the team directly erected the Vickers machine guns in the two Japanese fortifications into the front passage connecting the fortifications with the second line of defense of the Japanese army.

With dense firepower, the passage that was not wide was directly blocked by the dragon, preventing the number of troops that the Japanese army threw in from the front. Inside the fortifications, the Japanese could neither use grenadiers nor pull out skirmishers. The entire passage was blocked by two Vickers machine guns.

At the same time, the ban on firing guns was broken, and the troops that had approached the hills on both flanks were ordered to advance rapidly to the flanks with firepower, and to capture the two hills on the flanks in the shortest possible time to cover the large force to go up the mountain. And in the middle of the battle, the strict training of his subordinates and the rapid-fire weapons in their hands took advantage of it.

The Japanese army's Type 38 rifle, in such a narrow space, had a hard time turning around. The rate of fire of the bolt needs to be pulled to get a shot, which also limits the use of firepower. In the case of submachine guns and much shorter automatic rifles in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, this situation is exactly what they can do to their greatest firepower.

Taking advantage of the winding terrain in the passage, the grenades and automatic fire opened the way, and basically did not encounter much resistance. Even if you encounter enemy machine gun resistance, the distance is basically not too far. A lethal pineapple can completely solve one of the Japanese machine-gun positions.

It seems that it was never imagined that the enemy army would hit the Japanese troops inside the fortifications, and only the front of the fortifications had a passage leading to the depths. After the middle road was captured, the Japanese troops in the fortifications on both flanks were almost equivalent to turtles in urns. Reinforcements from outside can't get in, and people inside can't rush out.

Despite the best efforts of the Japanese troops on both flanks, they could not stop the tactics of the Anti-Japanese Union of using three-person combat teams to cover alternately while covering the road with rapid-fire weapons in their hands. Although there was also a certain price, after the shots could be fired, the advance to the flanks was much faster than the original.

With the frontal use of the notified troops, find a gap and break in to take a front and rear flanking attack. Within ten minutes of the gunshots, the two wings of the hill were cleanly taken. Although there are still remnants of the enemy who use corners or terrain to resist stubbornly, they basically cannot affect the overall situation. These remnants of the enemy only need to leave part of the troops to clear out.

The Japanese army, which had been reinforced from the depth in the front, pushed out a 37 rapid-fire gun in the case of repeated attacks, trying to solve the two machine guns that blocked the entire passage with crossfire. Before the first cannon could be fired, the scouts used bazookas to take the lead and directly blew up the people with the cannons.

The inside of the mountain was mixed up, and the Japanese army's fortifications, which were not small in size, were infiltrated into a company and scattered in pieces. Su Yingqi, who had already received the report at the foot of the mountain, took advantage of this opportunity to use blasting canisters and explosives bundled together to directly open three passages in the real and false minefields of the Japanese army, and commanded the troops of the two companies to go up the mountain immediately.

The strength of a company quickly spread out along the breach in the direction of both flanks. The other company, reinforced by a platoon, immediately seized the Japanese deep position at the foot of the hill and advanced as far south as possible to expand the space for the preparation of the defense, so as to prepare for the Japanese counterattack that would definitely be launched.

The last infantry company, with two platoons, spread out to the front line of Mandetang, preparing to block the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army in that direction. These two platoons are also ready to be used as the general reserve of the whole army when necessary, and are ready to use them in the most critical positions when necessary.

For Su Yingqi, since the gunfire has sounded here, the tactics of covert assault and infiltration that he originally planned to adopt can no longer be carried out. If you delay at this time, you will really delay things. By the time Japanese reinforcements arrive to seize the surface position on the mountain, all previous efforts will be in vain.

As for the battle situation inside the fortification group, Su Yingqi didn't care about it at all. There is no point in putting in the foot, and there is no point in throwing in troops. If the troops go down, they will only increase the number of casualties. In the case of guarding against the Japanese puppet army in the Mandetang stronghold behind him, he didn't have so many troops to spend so much.

As for the next operation, after climbing to the top of this hill and seeing the situation of the Japanese defense line in depth, Su Yingqi was no longer ready to carry out the original plan. It is at the junction of the two Japanese armies, and it is also the commanding height of the Japanese defense line within more than ten miles.

Standing here, the entire depth of the Japanese army from north to south, as well as the dense fortifications and firing points, can be seen at a glance. Even if you raise your binoculars, you can see Kangbao City during the day. He only has the strength of a reinforced battalion, and if he attacks in depth, it can be said that he will definitely encounter heavy interception by the Japanese army.

With this commanding height, this direction was far more important for the Japanese army than the direction of the feint attack on the opposite side. Rather than hitting the sharp knife and curling the blade, such a little vital force is exhausted, it is better to take advantage of the situation that the Japanese army will never give up here, attract the heavy Japanese troops, and create the best conditions for assault in other directions.

For Su Yingqi, who had the experience of fighting guerrilla warfare in the Guannai, he was independent for a long time, which made him have a strong sense of independence in combat, he has never been the kind of person who rigidly implements the battle plan. He commanded the battle, and often made the most advantageous adjustments in the shortest possible time according to the changes in the shape.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to fight in the Alukorqin Banner that year, and basically brought out the Second Regiment and its subordinate units that went deep into the depth of the Japanese army. It was also because of this combat style that he asked Yang Jicai before the war not to set so many rules and regulations for him.

At present, the original battle plan has changed from a favorable situation to an unfavorable situation. He quickly adjusted his deployment, preparing to use the terrain here and the original fortifications of the Japanese army to attract the focus of the Japanese defense on the entire Kangbao front line from the southeast to the northeast.

Here, the Japanese firepower is not just forward. Behind this hilly terrain, the Japanese also built a large number of rear firing points. In this way, once the assault force does not completely destroy the Japanese forces here, even if it breaks through the blockade, it will encounter front and rear fire when it develops in depth.
