Chapter 994: Seventeen mighty! (Part 1)
The difference between poor and rich is that money is clear when it is used.
The Eighth Route Army was indeed poor, but relatively speaking, the assault regiment was relatively wealthy.
The difference here is obvious by giving the simplest example: both the New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment control one county, while the Assault Regiment controls three counties.
The difference between one county and one regiment is definitely not as simple as one to three. Therefore, the strength of the assault regiment can definitely crush the independent regiment and the new regiment. Not to mention, the assault regiment now has five full battalions, each battalion of 750 people, which is all carefully selected soldiers. The foundation of the militia is also solid. In contrast, although the independent regiment and the assault regiment have three battalions, no battalion can be fully staffed, and the militia is far from comparable to the assault regiment.
To put it simply, if the Independent Group and the New First Group unite to fight with the Assault Group, strategies and other things are not counted. Just by judging from the strength, these two groups may have to be beaten up by the Assault Group.
Not to mention, just the big problem of eating, it is normal for all the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment to not eat meat once every six months, and it is not uncommon to not eat enough. However, the Assault Regiment is often sent by the people of three counties to bring condolences such as wine and meat. The food problem has long been solved... One side often cannot eat enough, but the other side has never been hungry. In other words, the Assault Regiment alone is enough to crush these two regiments.
(You must not underestimate the problem of eating, thinking that even if you are not full in normal times, it is not the same when you are in war. But in fact, there is a nutritional difference here. If you are not full for a long time, even if you are in war, you will not be able to make up for these meals for a long time. When fighting, you can rely on your temporary courage to not lose your strength in a short period of time. However, as long as the time is long, especially when fighting, the strength will definitely not be kept up... If you are willing, you can read books, films, and interview veterans.
As for information, the above basically mentioned a question: Why do Eighth Route Army soldiers often need three to deal with a Japanese devil during hand-to-hand combat? Although there are reasons for this and that, not having enough food for a long time is definitely one of the main reasons... However, the Eighth Route Army at that time was indeed too difficult, the place was too barren, and the people were too poor, and other reasons, so even though it was known that this was a big problem, it could not be solved in a short period of time, so it could only be made up for it by flesh and blood. Therefore, the War of Resistance Against Japan was very difficult and tragic, which was not something we could imagine in peacetime.)
For the assault regiment, wealth naturally has a wealthy way of fighting... After the July 7 Incident, the Japanese developed arrogance because they were basically victors during the war, so they reached their peak. The Eighth Route Army's general poverty is a fact, but even in such an environment, the artillery company commander Erlangzi dared to yell at the artillery battle with the Japanese. It can be seen that the wealth of the assault regiment and the strong confidence cultivated by successive victories. Otherwise, not everyone was qualified to yell at this sentence.
The ordinary Eighth Route Army basically uses melee fighting style: put the enemy close to 30 to 50 meters and then hit it hard, then fire two or three shots, and when the enemy approaches again, they throw one or two balls of *shots. Finally, taking advantage of the explosion, the enemy's explosion avoids it, and at the same time, dust is flying and the enemy's vision is blocked, they charge against the enemy and directly engage in hand-to-hand combat, so that the enemy's firepower advantage cannot be exerted... This kind of fighting style sounds nothing, but in fact it makes people feel sad and tears. It is not a last resort, who doesn't want to shoot the enemy from a distance while ensuring their own safety to the greatest extent, who is willing to put the enemy so close to it before fighting?
For the assault regiment, there is no need for this, especially when the assault regiment takes out all its assets to fight against the Japanese for this battle... In the words of the Fourth Battalion Commander Peng Peng, we have sufficient ammunition in this battle, so we should try our best to protect ourselves. Even if we exchange a box of ammunition for our own safety, it is worth it - a box of ammunition! How simple, it fully reflects the hardships of the Eighth Route Army.
So, when the Japanese began to attack Qinglong Mountain and just raised their feet to the mountain, gunfire sounded.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Interestingly, at this time, only the 38th hood seized from the Japanese brokers rang, but nothing else sounded.
In this way, the Japanese did not feel the power of the fourth battalion's light machine guns and heavy machine guns, and the pressure was not high. Therefore, the Japanese shot at the mountain and bowed and attacked upwards.
But everyone knows that this is only temporary, just like seducing them.
No matter how poor the Eighth Route Army is, there are still a few machine guns, especially for the much richer assault regiment, there are even a lot of machine guns, even three mountain cannons. At this time, they are all gone. You can think of it with your butt. After they reach a certain distance, the firepower on the mountain will definitely be fully activated. By then, it will be the real contest. Now, there is not even an appetizer. At most, they have sat on the table and just picked up the chopsticks.
The Japanese attacked the Japanese all the way, just like picking up food with chopsticks, and they were getting closer and closer to the target.
However, at this moment, the Japanese devils no longer had the desire to get closer to their targets, their pace became slower and slower, their faces became more and more serious, and their defense was getting higher and higher... Everyone knows that the fist that was not shot was the most worrying thing. Now, the Japanese devils probably have this kind of thought - God knows when the Eighth Route Army's light and heavy machine guns will shoot themselves? No matter how brave a person is, it is normal to have such thoughts when facing such a strange scene.
However, the Japanese were baptized by military and national ideas for a long time, especially the grassroots commanders were even more prosperous.
Now, the ordinary Japanese are getting slower and slower, which directly aroused the dissatisfaction of the grassroots commanders. Therefore, the grassroots commanders could only come forward to demonstrate in person while angering them... To be honest, although the grassroots commanders were exposed, they did increase their morale. At least, the Japanese's offensive level has increased a lot.
However, the grassroots commanders of the Japanese devils never expected that for this battle, Zhang Qingshan left two squads of snipers for the Fourth Battalion, and specially selected fifty sharpshooters from the army. Then, the commander of the Fourth Battalion Peng Peng put these snipers and sharpshooters in a team of ten people and two in a group, and placed them in each company and platoon, naturally, in the hope of obtaining the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.
So, the grassroots commanders of the Japanese devils were in great trouble... Whether it was a sniper or a sharpshooter, the biggest purpose of their existence was to kill the enemy's commanders and machine gunners, of course, including the enemy's colleagues. Now, the grassroots commanders of the Japanese devils took the initiative to jump out. It has to be said that this is an unexpected coincidence and surprise. If you let it go, it is hard to say whether you will be struck by lightning, but you will definitely be punished.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Just this wave of gunfire passed, at least fifteen grassroots commanders of the Japanese devils fell down.
However, the Japanese commander who survived was also clever and immediately gave up the spirit of Bushido, lowered his head, bowed, and hid among the Japanese crowd.
Time flies!
The Japanese concentrated their troops on the stairs south of Qinglong Mountain and the trails northeast of Qinglong Mountain, and attacked at the same time, almost at the same time only about fifty meters away from the first line of Qinglong Mountain. The Japanese were worried about light and heavy machine guns that had been in trouble for a long time.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
"Ka! Da! Da..."
"Swish! Swish! Swish..."
The rifle sound suddenly became dense, giving people the feeling that there were many people hiding. The sparse gunfire sounds were just to lure the Japanese in the air, and then beat them up when they were closer.
In the dense rifle sound, the light and heavy machine guns also fired at the same time, which instantly increased the loudness of the gunshots and the dense strength of the bullets, but gave people the same feeling that this was a big trap. They all doubted whether the other party had seen the harvested fruits, so they were so suddenly "grabbed" together.
However, no matter what, as soon as the light and heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army sounded, the Japanese fell down instantly, but for the living Japanese, at least the tight nerve line could be a little relaxed - the invisible enemy is the most terrible enemy, and the visible one is naturally much better.
For a moment, the two sides fired each other, and the bullets were like rain, screaming in pain, especially after the light and heavy machine gun bullets were shot out, they formed a flying silver color, pounced on each other hard, harvesting their lives.
At this time, He Shiqi and three rows were in a section of the trench in the first line of defense northeast of Qinglong Mountain, and were hitting the Japanese hard.
Although He Shiqi ordered the shooting, at the beginning, he only ordered his comrades to shoot, but he himself did not shoot because he was holding a box cannon.
Compared with the 38th cover, the bullets of the box cannon were relatively expensive, so He Shiqi waited until the Japanese were only about 40 meters away from the defense line.
I have to say that he has practiced marksmanship at home since he was a child. He Shiqi has completely shot two shots at a distance of about 40 meters... To be honest, when He Shiqi joined the assault regiment, it really caused a little sensation, because he performed a box cannon fire incense within 30 meters, with one shot and five shots in succession, and the gun hit the precise marksmanship. In order not to let the assault company pull He Shiqi away, Peng Peng tangled Zhang Qingshan for three days, which shows his value.
"Click!Click!"
He heard the air sound from the gunshots, He Shiqi immediately changed *.
However, just after changing the *, he saw a heavy machine gun bullet sweeping over. He Shiqi quickly avoided it, but heard the sound of the machine gun beside him suddenly silenced, and a heavy object pressed on his calves.
He Shiqi looked down and was furious...
