Bright Sword Military System

In fact, Zhang Dabiao was a little bit wrong to blame the devils. The arrangement of the devils in the steel plant was not as static as he imagined.

The commander in charge of the steel plant is a middle-left man named Yindai Asada. He has only an elementary school education level, but he has rich practical experience and is a veteran from World War I to the present.

(Note: During World War II, devils had completed 100% of the compulsory education in elementary school, and more than 90% of the officers had received education above middle school or professional non-commissioned officer schools. It is difficult for officers like Asada Yindai who only have a primary school diploma to be promoted and reused in the army. )

Asada Nakazuo was only transferred to the steel plant a month ago.

Asada thought that this might be because the superior thought that the defense of the steel plant was no longer important, so he sent him, an uneducated commander, to garrison.

Asada guessed right, it wasn't that the iron and steel plant was unimportant, but that the devils had decided that even the ground forces had launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army, so the iron and steel plant would no longer be the front line but a second line, so its defense was not important.

But Asada's character is that he will treat it with extreme caution at all times on the battlefield.

As soon as he rushed to the steel plant, he frowned when he saw the "predecessor"'s so-called "strengthening the defense" of the steel plant.

"This is suicide!" Asada pointed to the thickened walls and said, "Don't you know that the Eighth Route Army already has artillery, especially with a lot of jet bombs? These walls and gun towers are targets for jet bombs! You do this , It’s a waste of time and energy!”

The staff officer replied: "Your Excellency Zhongzuo, but Ichikawa Dazuo means that our army has air supremacy, and our army has artillery superiority, so... don't worry too much about the equipment of the Eighth Route Army!"

Ichikawa Daizuo was the former commander of the steel plant.

He would have some reason to think so.

Because there is never a perfect defense on the battlefield, if the enemy's artillery and spray bombs are to be considered, no matter how strong the defense is, it will be vulnerable.

but……

Several artillery regiments of the imperial army are right behind the steel factory, and the steel factory can get fire reinforcements from these artillery at any time, so do you need to worry about the enemy's artillery and spray bombs?What's more, the empire also has air supremacy!

At that time, it will be the empire's fighter planes and artillery to suppress the enemy's heavy equipment, and these walls and gun towers will be used to deal with the enemy's charging infantry.

Although such an idea makes sense, it is too idealistic.

Because the battlefield is changing rapidly, the support units around the steel plant will also change due to the development of the battle situation. For example, fighter planes cannot provide effective support at night, such as artillery being mobilized.

Asada Yoshiyo, who has rich combat experience, will not wait for this to happen before preparing.

Therefore, he looked around the steel factory worriedly and said, "Anyway, I don't want to die here!"

The staff officer hurriedly answered "Yes", and then bent forward and asked, "Well, Your Excellency Center Left, do you mean to strengthen the defense by adding a trench outside the wall? I'm afraid it will be difficult, because the weather is too cold , It is very difficult to build trenches..."

"No, no!" Asada shook his hands and replied, "If you build a trench outside, you will be discovered by the enemy soon, and the Eighth Route Army is good at harassment, so stationing outside means a lot of trouble!"

This is why devils always like to build walls.

If there is no wall around it, such as digging trenches outside, the devils will be exposed in the wilderness.

At that time, when the guerrillas here and there will fight coldly, how should the devils deal with it?

Search all over the mountains and plains?

I'm afraid that if people don't find a few, they will suffer more serious casualties in this snow field.

Once the wall is surrounded, it is much safer. It is difficult for the guerrillas to injure the imperial soldiers behind the wall, and the imperial soldiers do not need to go out of the city to search, so they live in peace with each other.

Asada looked inside the steel factory and found that the buildings of the steel factory were very suitable for defense.

Perhaps to prevent fires, some buildings in the iron and steel factory are brick buildings and some are earthen buildings, only a few buildings are built with wooden villages.

Asada Nakazuo pointed to those buildings and said, "We should build another line of defense inside the fence, thirty to fifty meters away from the fence, understand?"

The staff officer nodded immediately and responded "Understood".

There are indeed many advantages to building the second line of defense inside the wall. For example, it is difficult for the enemy to find this line of defense from the outside, so they will be defenseless when attacking.

The other is that if a gap is opened in the wall and the enemy pours in from this gap... then the role of the second line of defense is immeasurable, and the bullets can pour out into the gap to kill the enemy.

The staff immediately acted on Asada Nakazuo's idea, and changed the surrounding buildings near the wall into a defensive line. Some positions without buildings were directly dug into trenches or piled up bunkers with sandbags, and then there was a firepower every few tens of meters. The blind spot is arranged in the rear with a machine gun to strengthen the firepower.

It should be said that Asada Nakazuo's arrangement is still very good.

If the Eighth Route Army still attacked with the same equipment as before, that is, with Springfield rifles, they might be able to break through the wall, but they would suffer a big loss on the second line of defense.

Because at that time the wall became an obstacle, and it was difficult to split the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops into two sections, the inside and the outside.

but……

After the Eighth Route Army was equipped with ak47, the situation was completely different.

The time for the Eighth Route Army's attack was just right, and the sky was already hazy when the battle started... Maybe it was because the snow reflected sunlight, and the visibility was very high when the sky was bright, which was very conducive for the Eighth Route Army to give full play to the firepower advantage of the ak47.

Zhang Dabiao felt that something was wrong as soon as the troops rushed into the gap.

As soon as a squad of soldiers approached the gap, they were crushed by the fierce firepower of the devils and lay down on the ground, unable to lift their heads.

It stands to reason that if the devils are defending on the front line of the wall and the Eighth Route Army is caught off guard, the devils shouldn't have such fierce firepower to fill the gap.

Unless...the devils had already prepared another line of defense inside the wall.

Zhang Dabiao understood after thinking this way, and immediately ordered: "Don't rush in, occupy the wall! Grenades..."

The soldiers in the first battalion were all veterans selected from the independent regiment. Although Zhang Dabiao's order was endless, the soldiers understood it.

In fact, the company commanders understood.

Then the company commander ordered the platoon leader, and the platoon leader ordered the squad leader...

In just a few seconds, everyone from top to bottom understood what Zhang Dabiao meant and prepared the grenade.

Then, after a whistle, the grenades flew to the other end of the wall in rows... This is to clear the devils defending the wall. If the devils throw grenades back behind the wall, it will cause great damage to the Eighth Route Army threaten.

With the sound of "booming" explosions, the soldiers emerged along the fence in groups of two on a ladder and set up ak47 on the fence...
