Check in from the bright sword

Without flank protection, the armored units are easily destroyed by the approach of the Eighth Route Army's Molotov cocktails.

Using armored forces to cover the attack, the principle of use is similar to that of urban street warfare.

Chapter 321 Sidefire Fire

Defending the commanding heights on both sides of the road is the 4th Battalion of the Independent Regiment.

The 4th Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao set his battalion headquarters on the hill with the widest view on the right, and there is a huge rock above the battalion headquarters, which is a natural shelter.

It can effectively avoid the killing of the Japanese curved fire.

The direct firepower of the Japanese army was also blocked by the mountain and could not hit the shelter.

Of course, there are bound to be disadvantages in everything that is beneficial. There is no good thing in this world that just takes advantage without paying the price.

Although the headquarters of the 4th Battalion could effectively avoid the curved and direct firepower of the Japanese army, they also could not see the movement of the Japanese army in the middle valley.

But this is not a problem for the 4th Battalion.

Because the defense of the middle valley and the highway is in charge of Shen Quan's 2nd Battalion.

Their 4th Battalion only needs to defend the commanding heights on both sides of the valley to ensure that the 2nd Battalion is not attacked from behind.

There was a lot of fighting in the valley just now, Zhang Dabiao could still hold his breath, leaning against the rock wall to smoke Hardemen leisurely, but his guard Yang Erniu was in a hurry.

Yang Erniu would poke his head out to take a look from time to time.

Seeing that there are still no devils coming up, they will sigh.

Then he said with some concern: "Battalion Commander, won't this little devil let the 2nd Battalion finish?"

Don't laugh, that's what Yang Erniu thought. He was really worried that the devils would be killed by the 2nd Battalion.

The ambush in Changning Town gave the soldiers of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army a strong illusion that killing devils seemed to be no different from cutting melons and vegetables.

So Yang Erniu was really worried that the devils would be killed by the 2nd Battalion.

In a sense, this is undoubtedly a kind of blind self-confidence.

But blind self-confidence is also self-confidence. A good commander can guide this self-confidence correctly, and can turn the troops under his command into an invincible army of tigers and wolves!

Why is it said that troops with more victories tend to have higher combat effectiveness?The root cause is here!

Because of the many victories and battles, the morale of the officers and soldiers is high, and they feel that no one in the world is their opponent. No matter what kind of opponent they encounter in the future, they will already overwhelm the opponent psychologically.

Zhang Dabiao is undoubtedly a brilliant commander.

So he didn't laugh at Yang Erniu, but just said: "Erniu, don't worry, you can beat the devil!"

"I'm afraid not." Yang Erniu shook his head and said, "The one who came back seems to be a brigade, right?"

Zhang Dabiao said: "It's also a brigade. The 3rd Brigade is different from the 9th Brigade. The 9th Brigade has already been disabled by our independent regiment."

"There are only four brigades in the whole brigade."

"It is estimated that there may not even be 4000 people."

"And there's no artillery, engineers, or supply troops."

"But the 3rd Brigade is a complete independent mixed brigade."

"Not only are the five infantry brigades fully organized, but the artillery, engineering, and supply brigades, as well as the brigade headquarters are basically intact. The entire brigade has at least 5 to 8000 people."

"Even seven or eight thousand pigs are enough for the 2nd Battalion to kill for half a day."

"What's more, there are seven or eight thousand devils? So you don't have to worry, you have to fight."

Only then did Yang Erniu heave a sigh of relief, and when he was about to sit down and smoke a cigarette, he suddenly saw a group of devils appearing on the opposite mountain ridge out of the corner of his eye.

"Battalion Commander, there are devils!"

Yang Erniu immediately lifted his spirits.

Zhang Dabiao turned over and got up, and then raised the binoculars.

With the vision of the telescope, Zhang Dabiao could see more clearly.

I saw about a small group of devil infantry had climbed to the top of the opposite mountain.

Looking at this posture, the devils are going to round the back of the 2nd Battalion from the top of the mountain, and then launch a condescending dive to cooperate with the devils attacking along the valley road to eat the 2nd Battalion.

"Gou Ri's little devil is cunning enough." Yang Erniu said, "He actually made a detour from the top of the mountain."

Zhang Dabiao can only roll his eyes, your mother, this is also called cunning?This is just a basic operation, okay?

The real cunning one is Staff Officer Wang, the "flank fire" tactic proposed by this dog day is really powerful!

At that moment, Zhang Dabiao stretched out his hand and said, "Er Niu, give me the gun."

Yang Erniu hurriedly handed over a [-] cap.

Zhang Dabiao pulled the bolt and pushed a bullet into the chamber.

Then put the gun on the rock wall, aim at the devil 1000 meters away on the opposite side, and pull the trigger.

Zhang Dabiao aimed at the ghost flag bearer with a plaster flag on a bayonet on the opposite mountain ridge.

The gunshot rang out, and the devil's standard-bearer squatted down in response, and dozens of devils following behind the devil's standard-bearer also knelt down on the ground one after another.

In the next moment, fifty or sixty tongues of flame burst out at the waistline of the mountain ridges on both sides of the valley.

But the 4 Type 12 heavy machine guns and 54 light machine guns deployed by the [-]th Battalion at the waistline of the mountain ridge opened fire.

66 light and heavy machine guns fired violently at the same time, and the 66 dazzling tongues of flame were like flame whips in the hands of the god of death, violently drawing towards the devils who were advancing along the ridges on both sides.

In an instant, the devils fell to the ground row by row like wheat that had been cut down by a sickle.

The effective range of the crutched light machine gun is only 700 meters, and the ballistic spread area of ​​more than 800 meters is no longer visible, but the accuracy is not enough, so the number is made up.

The huge barrage formed by more than 50 cane guns shooting together is enough to make up for the lack of accuracy.

Therefore, facing such a dense barrage, the devil infantry advancing along the ridges on both sides of the valley fell one by one, and half of them were killed or killed in a blink of an eye.

The rest of the devils quickly retreated when they saw that something was wrong.

The second attack of the Japanese 3rd Brigade was disintegrated again.

Looking at the few devils who retreated, and then at the dozens of devils lying on the ridge, Yang Erniu couldn't help but said, "Damn it, Staff Officer Wang's method really works."
