Chapter 227: Interspersed Encirclement
The new Japanese commander Kenkichi Ueda was quite surprised. Yesterday, the Punishment Army published an announcement in the newspaper that they would launch an attack today, but who the hell could have thought that it would be real!
The entire Battle of Shanghai lasted for more than 20 days. The Japanese army was the attacking party all the time, while the Chinese army was always on the passive defense. As soon as Kenkichi Ueda took office, the Punishment Army dealt him a big blow, which was simply a rebellion!
Kenkichi Ueda immediately deployed troops in the new command center and sent the reserve battalion stationed nearby to engage in street fighting with the punitive troops. He also ordered artillery to bombard the beach landing point to prevent the punitive troops from landing.
All of a sudden, the Japanese artillery fire roared, and shells landed on the beach covered with smoke bombs, dispersing a lot of the smoke. However, the Punishment Army was just experimenting with using the portal for landing on the beach. There was no one on the beach, and the Japanese artillery shells all blew up the rocks.
The Japanese artillery attack formed a death zone on the beach. Although it did not hit the punitive troops, the punitive troops also retaliated with artillery fire.
Based on the landing point of the Japanese artillery, they analyzed the trajectory, extrapolated the map, and quickly calculated the approximate location of the Japanese artillery.
Then the two 105mm guns raised their muzzles and fired two shots at the suspected artillery position point a, two shots at the suspected position point b, and two shots at the suspected point c.
There was no other way. There was no anti-artillery radar at that time, so we could only guess. We needed to know what kind of artillery the Japanese used and its performance in order to guess accurately. After the Punishment Army fired four rounds of artillery, the Japanese artillery stopped immediately. We didn't know whether they were hit or moved.
The perspective returns to the battlefield in the city. The punitive army soldiers rushed into the city and collided head-on with the Japanese support team. The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
The punitive soldiers took advantage of their armor and submachine guns and began to implement the various tactics they had come up with on a daily basis.
The individual combat capabilities of the Punishment Army are quite strong, and their high-level tactical level is also good, but their company and battalion-level tactics are hard to describe.
Li Jun, who studied at the Sichuan Military Academy, also learned company and battalion level squad tactics, but unfortunately, China's current company and battalion level tactics are still at the level of World War I. The military education Li Jun received even included such antiques as volley tactics. It is conceivable how backward China's current company and battalion level tactics are.
Now the Punishment Army urgently needs to explore effective company-level and battalion-level tactics to prepare for future large-scale military expansion!
Fortunately, because the punitive troops have the ability to share minds, they will not suffer major casualties even if they practice on the battlefield.
The first tactic practiced by the Punitive Forces was small-scale infiltration and encirclement.
The basic unit of the Punitive Army that can be contacted by the commander now is the company. The Punishment Army company has 200 people. Compared with the Japanese squadron, this number is just right. If it is thrown into the city, it can occupy a street.
Because the punitive troops have the ability to share minds, Li Weiguo, the supreme commander, only needs to contact the company commanders to know their locations and mark them on the map, so that the battlefield situation becomes clear.
It is also very easy for him to issue command orders. He can just tell the company commander to arrive at a certain location and attack in a certain direction, and the company commander will immediately lead the soldiers to do it. This ability of the supreme commander to give orders to the company has not been fully achieved in the highly information-based 21st century.
Now the punitive army has deployed more than 2000 combatants, or 10 companies, to the other side. Li Weiguo quickly dispatched these 10 companies to carry out infiltration and encirclement.
Because the Punishment Army crossed the river too suddenly this time, and the Japanese army was attacking the central defense line of the 19th Route Army, the troops in other positions were relatively empty. After the Punishment Army rushed into the Japanese army's hinterland, the Japanese were in great chaos.
The old Japanese soldier Kenkichi Ueda reacted very quickly. He mobilized the reserve forces and other troops to encircle the punitive army and wanted to surround the houses occupied by the punitive army. He even sent a large team to attack the Huangpu River from the side, trying to cut off the punitive army's retreat and cut off the connection between the punitive army and the Huangpu River.
The old Japanese named Kenkichi Ueda was quite ruthless, and he wanted to swallow up the Punitive Army in one bite. However, his actions were too slow, or it could be said that the traditional army was too slow compared to the Punitive Army which had a command system without delay.
No matter how sharp Ueda Kenkichi's vision was, it took time for his orders to reach the Japanese troops. Different Japanese troops arrived at the battlefield at different times, which led to huge gaps in their encirclement before it was shrunk.
Li Weiguo, who was overlooking the battlefield, easily spotted the gaps in the Japanese encirclement. He immediately took control of the company-level units and planned to conduct a regional counter-encirclement before the Japanese encirclement was completed!
A company of punitive troops were speeding down the street under the cover of two Renault tanks. The current situation was that two Japanese squadrons were spotted fighting with the punitive troops in the left and right front, and the Japanese were trying to close the encirclement and form a line.
The purpose of this punitive company was to get in between the two Japanese squadrons, prevent them from connecting together, and go around behind one of the squadrons to encircle it.
This punitive army that penetrated directly into the center disrupted the rhythm of the two Japanese squadrons, causing a small-scale chaos among the Japanese, who immediately sent out soldiers to engage in combat with the punitive army's infiltrative troops.
The company commander of the punitive army left 100 men between the two Japanese squadrons to prevent them from joining together. The remaining 100 men and two Renault tanks continued to maneuver behind the Japanese.
In a series of firefights and mobile operations, they successfully got behind the Japanese squadron, and the Japanese squadron was surrounded on three sides by the Punishment Army!
More than half an hour later, the two companies of the Punishment Army narrowed the encirclement. The soldiers rushed into the house area occupied by the Japanese, throwing grenades and firing submachine guns, and wiped out the Japanese squadron!
Then the punitive soldiers did not stop at all. They organized their weapons formation and maneuvered quickly on the street, running towards the next group of Japs, continuing to implement the tactics of infiltration, encirclement and annihilation.
As a result, this scene appeared on the battlefield. The Japanese support troops filled in from all directions, trying to complete the encirclement of the Punishment Army. As a result, the Punishment Army took advantage of the weakness of the different speeds of the Japanese soldiers arriving on the scene, interrupted the Japanese encirclement and carried out interspersed encirclement, constantly eliminating Japanese troops locally, causing the Japanese encirclement to be bumpy and making it impossible to implement the large encirclement tactics.
