Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

"Da da da, Li Wanfu's shooting skills are still very good.

He accurately located the Japanese sergeant and killed him with one shot. Li Wanfu's firing was the signal, and the previously quiet position became violently ablaze with gunfire. The officers and soldiers of the First Battalion, who had been lying in the trenches, now emerged and opened fire. This position was not large enough to accommodate an entire battalion.

So Li Wanfu released a company.

However, the firepower of a single company was not weak. The Special Service Battalion and the First Battalion were the two main forces of the independent detachment, each equipped with six light machine guns. Therefore, the Special Service Battalion and a main company of the First Battalion were equipped with two light machine guns.

In addition to the light machine guns, the heavy machine guns and grenade launchers brought by Wei Hongjun were all allocated to Li Wanfu for use.

Li Wanfu placed heavy machine guns on both flanks of the position, creating a crossfire. Although the Japanese were well-trained, Li Wanfu's firing at them from such a close position instantly caused heavy casualties to the Japanese.

A bunch of them fell down.

However, the Japanese army reacted quickly.

He immediately dropped to the ground and took cover to fight back. The Japanese squad's light machine guns also began to return fire.

“The heavy machine guns changed positions.

Although the Japanese army reacted quickly, they were no match for the independent detachment in terms of firepower.

Two heavy machine guns fired, and the Japanese light machine guns immediately went silent. On the battlefield, once you are hit by a heavy machine gun, it is not so easy to escape. In just a few hits, several Japanese soldiers were killed again.

The Japanese squad couldn't handle this kind of casualties. Less than ten minutes had passed since the start of the attack, and the casualties of the Japanese attacking squad had already reached 27, with 11 of them killed in action.

At this time, Li Wanfu immediately waved his hand and shouted, asking the heavy machine gun to change its position quickly.

"Boom boom"

However, before the machine gun position was changed, the Japanese grenade launcher flew over.

The officers and soldiers of the independent detachment still did not fully understand the power of the grenade launcher. This was because the independent detachment had always avoided direct engagements with the Japanese army and avoided direct engagements with the Japanese army's heavy firepower, mainly relying on ambushes. This did not give the Japanese army any chance to exploit the advantages of the grenade launcher.

But this time is different.

In the head-on combat, the power of the Japanese grenade launchers was undoubtedly demonstrated.

The Japanese army responded very quickly.

As soon as the heavy machine guns on the independent detachment opened fire, their grenade launchers began to prepare. In a short time, they had already aimed at the heavy machine gun position, and then they started firing before the Japanese attacking team withdrew.

The current Japanese army is a truly well-trained elite force.

As long as they could measure the distance, these grenade launchers could hit the target with near-perfect accuracy. Furthermore, since they weren't firing just one or two grenade launchers, but several at once, they could easily achieve the desired effect. Two grenade launcher groups fired simultaneously, and six grenade launcher shells exploded around the heavy machine gun position.

"Damn it."

Li Wanfu couldn't help cursing when he saw the heavy machine gun position being destroyed.

The Japanese army's reaction was too quick, causing many officers and soldiers in the first battalion who had never seen the power of Japanese ammunition to react slowly.

The officers and soldiers of the independent detachment were not familiar with direct combat with the Japanese. So even though Li Wanfu had instructed the heavy machine gun crew to quickly relocate after firing a shot, they still couldn't escape the Japanese grenade and cannon fire. So Li Wanfu shouted, "Hide, hide! Heavy machine guns and light machine guns, move quickly!"

They had to move quickly, otherwise they would be eliminated one by one by grenade launchers.

The Japanese army's grenade launchers were looking for the heavy machine gun and light machine gun positions of the independent detachment. Li Wanfu watched the Japanese grenade launchers act recklessly and ordered: "Where are our grenade launchers? Take out their grenade launchers."

But peacetime training and battlefield training are completely different. Although the independent detachment's grenade launcher team also trained in peacetime, they certainly couldn't compare to the Japanese. Their range finding was not as professional and accurate as the Japanese.

Fortunately, the Japanese army was relatively careless.

This gave the independent detachment plenty of time to prepare. They were targeting the Japanese grenade launchers. While the grenade launchers had a range of 700 meters, it was impossible to fire from 700 meters in a real fight. That would be completely inaccurate.

The grenade launcher is easy to operate, but the same convenient operation also sacrifices its hit rate. Therefore, the Zheng grenade launcher is not used alone like infantry guns. Several grenade launchers must be used together to complete the attack.

This time, the Japanese grenade launcher group was about 300 meters away from the first battalion's position.

The independent detachment's grenadiers took aim and began firing.

"Boom boom boom—four grenade launchers were fired, but the effect was very poor.

Only one round hit the Japanese grenade launcher group, destroying one grenade launcher. If it were the Japanese army, then four grenade launchers could directly destroy the grenade launcher position. Compared with the level of the Japanese army that had just cleared the heavy machine gun position of the independent detachment, it was a far cry from the level.

But it still scared the Japanese army.

The Japanese did not expect that the independent detachment would fire four grenade launcher shells at once. Although the Japanese were surprised, they were very fast. The grenade launcher team knew that their position had been exposed and moved immediately.

Wei Hongjun watched the battle situation from above and couldn't help shaking his head.

The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is indeed very strong.

Although it was only the first clash and both sides suffered casualties, the Japanese army's strong and fierce fighting ability was undoubtedly revealed. The Japanese army suffered more than 30 casualties in the first attack, and a heavy machine gun position on the independent detachment was destroyed.

Both sides suffered heavy losses.

Maeda Noo was also furious when he saw the wounded soldiers on his side and the bodies lying on the ground.

It was unbelievable that a squadron of his own lost so many men in the first attack. However, Maeda Nofu did not think that he could not defeat the enemy in front of him, so he organized another attack.

Be more careful this time.

Maeda Noo sent four light machine guns to follow, and when they were a hundred meters away from the position, the four light machine guns had already established their positions. Behind the light machine guns was a grenade launcher group, ready to provide support at any time.

Li Wanfu looked at the Japanese army's dispersed formation and couldn't help but frown.

"How about it?"

"Political Commissar, the Japanese are indeed an elite force. Even if we repel the enemy this time, we will suffer heavy casualties. Look at the positions of their grenade launchers and machine guns, they are specifically designed to suppress our firepower."

"Fight close."

Wei Hongjun also came to the position from behind.

He picked up a Type 38 rifle. He observed the Japanese deployment closely and said to Li Wanfu, "Wait until the Japanese get close, and throw grenades when they are about 20 meters away. Then the whole army will attack and fight the Japanese with bayonets. If we mix in with the Japanese, their grenade launchers and light machine guns will be useless."

"Bayonet fight?"

"Yes, just like we usually train. After charging down, don't fight one-on-one. We are no match for the Japanese in a one-on-one fight, and we will suffer. We have more people now, so we will go up and fight three to one. Resolve the battle quickly and then withdraw. There can be no hesitation on the battlefield, otherwise we will be shot by Japanese machine guns."

"Yes."

The Japanese army attacked slowly.

When the Japanese troops entered the 50-meter range, they began to fire from grenade launchers. Their light machine guns also opened fire, suppressing the firepower of the independent detachment on the position. With the cover of grenade launchers and light machine guns, the Japanese troops began to advance rapidly.

The Japanese army is an elite force and attacks very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, they were within thirty meters of the inner position. As the Japanese approached the position, the grenade launchers dared not fire. Because grenade launchers, unlike artillery, were mainly honed through training.

The error is still relatively large.

The destruction of the heavy machine gun position was possible only by relying on the combined effects of the six-method grenade launcher shells.

Now that the Japanese infantry were so close to the First Battalion's position, Zheng Dantong couldn't be sure he wouldn't blow up his own troops. After entering thirty meters, the Japanese army accelerated their attack.

"Throw!"

"Boom boom boom! When the Japanese troops were almost 20 meters away, everyone on the battlefield threw out grenades.

The thick smoke from the grenade explosion caused the Japanese light machine guns to temporarily cease fire. Because the light machine guns were in the rear, if they couldn't see clearly ahead, they could easily hit their own troops. At that moment, Conde shouted from the side, "Comrades, follow me!" In bayonet fighting, the Japanese had the advantage.

But this advantage wasn't as great as people say online. It's not as exaggerated as the idea that a dozen men couldn't defeat a single Japanese soldier. They were all soldiers, all trained in bayonet fighting, so the gap wasn't as huge as one might imagine. Of course, there was still a gap. So, during normal training, Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun trained their troops in two-on-one or three-on-one situations.

If you can’t do it one-on-one, you can train specifically in two-on-one and three-on-one combat.

Concentrating superior forces has always been a fine tradition of the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army. This also applies to bayonet fighting. Furthermore, bayonet fighting requires not only technique but also courage. Courage is crucial in bayonet fighting.

In hand-to-hand combat, courage is always the most important thing.

Because it was less than 20 meters, that was only two or three seconds. Everyone rushed forward and quickly formed into groups of three, following their usual training, to surround the Japanese. Although the Japanese were very good at bayonet fighting, they were immediately at a disadvantage when surrounded by three people.

"Quickly resolve the battle."

Bayonet fighting is a true test of a soldier's psychological quality.

Because you will see blood and flesh flying at close range, and it will be like a real white knife going in and a red knife coming out.

Although the First Battalion was the backbone of the independent detachment, this was their first time engaging in hand-to-hand combat. Initially, some soldiers were hesitant. If veteran Red Army soldiers had such an advantage, they could have resolved the battle in a short time. To put it bluntly, it was due to the First Battalion's lack of combat experience.

If it weren't for the large number of people, the battalion would have collapsed and been routed in the hand-to-hand combat.

Fortunately, we have a clear advantage in numbers.

In addition, commanders such as Wei Hongjun, Li Wanfu, and Kong De all participated in the bayonet fight. Wei Hongjun served in the army for seven or eight years and participated in many hand-to-hand combat during the Red Army period.

He understood better than anyone that hand-to-hand combat required momentum and courage. Any unit that lost this would easily collapse in hand-to-hand combat. Sometimes, hand-to-hand combat wasn't just about bayonet technique, it was about the soldiers' courage.

With a large number of people, and Wei Hongjun, Li Wanfu, Kong De and others personally participating in the hand-to-hand combat to boost the morale of the troops, the First Battalion gradually began to gain the upper hand, and the Japanese army slowly retreated.

Maeda Nofu, observing the battle from behind, said with increasing irritation, "What are you doing with the grenade launchers? Fire, fire.

"Mr. Maeda, we still have people there."

"Baga, fire!"

"Hai."

The Japanese army immediately gave the order and opened fire with grenade launchers.

"Hide, hide."

Chapter 089: Encirclement and Suppression of the Japanese Army

"idiot."

Nofu Maeda was very angry.

Both attacks were unsuccessful and resulted in heavy casualties.

Maeda Noo had only 180 men under his command, and the two attacks had resulted in casualties. Nineteen of these were minor injuries, but they still needed treatment. If they weren't treated properly, minor injuries would become serious. The total number of casualties now stood at .

Such a loss was unbearable even for Noo Maeda.

That's about forty minutes.

Such a large number of casualties made Maeda Nofu very angry. Maeda Nofu did not continue the attack because he needed to reconsider. His purpose of coming out this time was to solve the problem of food shortage for the troops. Asao Heishiro had been warning Maeda Nofu that the independent detachment would definitely prevent the Japanese army from obtaining food. They might even send troops to encircle and suppress them, forcing him to hold on.

But Maeda Noo was ambitious.

He was disdainful of the Chinese army's combat effectiveness.

That's why we chose to attack violently.

According to Asao Heishiro's plan, he had to either successfully obtain the food or lure out the independent detachment. Maeda Nofu didn't need to attack before, because his goal of luring out the independent detachment would definitely be achieved.

But precisely because of the attack, we are now somewhat passive.

"Commissar, the first company suffered 19 casualties and 34 wounded, 11 of whom were seriously injured. The entire heavy machine gun crew of the fire company was killed. The total casualties of the unit are 57, including 23 deaths."
