Chapter 391 Short Soldiers
Although the 33rd Regiment of the Central Committee of the Feng Army and the 25th Regiment of the Anhui Army had an encounter, this encounter was not surprising for both sides. On the contrary, it was already expected in the hearts of the commanders of both sides.
Therefore, the battle between the two sides is not as hasty and at a loss as the traditional encounter. On the contrary, it is orderly, and the infantry of the two sides is still relatively orderly.
However, there is still a big difference in details. Under the command of Fang Qingkun, the Feng army adopted the active offensive tactic. This is not Fang Qingkun underestimates the enemy, but the Feng army is used to fighting in a series of southward battles. The first reaction to encounter the enemy is not the on-site defense, but the attack and then attack. The three main divisions of the Feng army are basically good at attacking. The 3rd Division is good at circuitous and deep attack. The 10th Division is good at breakthroughs, while the 9th Division is not as good as the 3rd Division and 10th Division, but it is also good at offensive operations.
However, under the command of Lin Yongquan, the attack mode of the 9th Division is more conservative and traditional.
But there is no doubt that the Ninth Division is also good at attacking.
Not only are the other early mixed brigades in the Feng army of the three main divisions, but also only the seventh mixed brigades that are good at defensive combat. As for other troops, there is no such obvious combat style. Not to mention those second-line troops, the other first divisions are also relatively moderate and maintain the combat effectiveness of the old Beiyang era, but they do not say that they are obviously good at a certain aspect. As for the 14th Division, this division has just been formed, and the continuous war I haven't fought yet. In nature, the division is actually similar to the 7th Division of the Liangjiang Army. They are all newly formed troops, and their weapons, equipment and training are not bad. What they lack is only war experience.
Generally speaking, Fengjun is still good at attack. In fact, there is not much difference between the defense and the old Beiyang troops.
As for the Anhui army opposite, to some extent, the Anhui army is also good at attacking. Look at the Fourth Division and the Second Mixed Brigade. These two units are from south to north. It can be said that they have not defended before fighting with the Feng army and have been attacking and attacking again.
However, after half a year of fighting with the Feng army, the Anhui army under Duan Qirui has been defending and defending. Before the offensive tactics that the 4th Division is good at, it was chased all the way from Xuzhou to Jinling. It is said that depression is light, and this time Duan Qirui has also made up his mind that he can't use the main fourth division and the second mixed brigade for passive defense, but act as a mobile force. At that time, he will try to destroy the Feng army's river crossing troops by giving full play to his strong offensive ability. As for the fixed deployment of the long Yangtze River defense line, it will be handed over to Liangjiang Land. The army has come to do it.
Influenced by this tactical thinking, the main training of the Liangjiang Army in the Anhui Army in recent months has been concentrated on defense.
At this time, the tactical choice of the 25th Regiment of the 7th Division of the Liangjiang Army fully reflected this thinking.
After the encounter with Fengjun, they did not choose to take the initiative to attack like Fang Qingkun on the opposite side, but started to defend on the spot, trying to defeat Fengjun's spirit through defense, and then counterattacked.
The different tactical thinking of the Feng army and the Anhui army led to different choices after the war!
When Fang Qingkun commanded the first and second battalions to launch attacks, the Anhui commander on the opposite side did the opposite, that is, to launch a defense on the spot.
The two battalions are against the two battalions. Although the total number of infantry battalions of the Feng army is larger than that of the Anhui army due to the formation of light machine guns and mortars, the 33rd Regiment has experienced several hours of combat, especially when crossing the river and landing on the beach, it has suffered a lot of blows, losing about 200 people, so The number of these two battalions is less than the previous full capacity.
In this way, the strength of the opposing Feng and Anhui armies is almost the same, which is even in terms of military strength alone.
However, even so, Fang Qingkun still took the initiative to launch an attack!
With the precise bombing of the 60mm mortar, another mortar was soon accurately landed on a heavy machine gun position of the opposite Anhui army. Maybe it did not completely destroy the heavy machine gun, but the fragments after the explosion still caused heavy casualties of the enemy's heavy machine gun personnel, and the shooter and the deputy shooter were injured together. The firepower suddenly stopped.
And this obvious fireout was naturally captured by the Feng army commander on the front line, so soon a company of infantry launched an attack on the opposite Anhui position with the sound of bronze whistles.
Incoherent, but the still dense gunshots echoed in his ears. Chen San's cat ran forward with a waist and gasp. His thick thighs in the fast running burst out the greatest strength in his life. In the past high-intensity physical training allowed him to hold the light machine in his hand. Gun, with several magazines on his body, he moved forward quickly.
"Light machine gun cover!" As he ran, a lieutenant next to him shouted loudly, and the sound still accurately entered Chen Sangou's ears in the sound of guns, so he didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not. Soon he was a front bed, clamped the light machine gun on the ground, and then slightly checked the light machine gun in his hand, and then turned forward. Fang pulled the trigger in the direction of 11 o'clock.
There was a click, and the rapid short shot made three machine gun bullets hit the opposite Anhui army position. Although it did not hit any enemies, the little dust still made several Anhui soldiers on the opposite side quickly retract their heads.
This rapid three-shot shooting is a common suppression shooting mode of machine guns. Soldiers with a little experience on the opposite side can see that Fengjun's machine guns have been taken care of them. If they continue to shoot with rifles, it is estimated that bullets will hit them in the head at the next moment.
Although the distance is a little far away, Chen Sangou did not care after seeing them shrink back. Although he did not hit any enemies, he could force them back than the enemy. From a tactical point of view, Chen Sangou has completed the task.
Soon, his muzzle rotated slightly and made a short shot in another direction.
When Chen Sangou fired with the light machine gun in his hand, Chen Quan, who was in the same village with him, also ran forward desperately with the rifle in his arms.
150 meters, 100 meters, closer, closer!
Chen Quan can already clearly see the panicked faces of the young soldiers of the Anhui soldiers opposite. Those Anhui soldiers looked young, probably about 17 or 18 years old, and their slightly young faces panicked in a hurry. At this time, they were constantly pulling the bolts, then pushing bullets into the chamber and then pulling the trigger, but The difference between new soldiers and veterans is that veterans can remain calm and then aim and shoot in such a fierce battle, but the recruits only need to shoot out the bullets, at most a slight aim. In this case, it is naturally impossible to hit the enemy.
Seeing the opposite Anhui soldiers behave like this, a sneer appeared at the corners of Chen Quan's mouth and hummed coldly in his heart. These new recruits, as long as they rushed up and threw a round of grenades, or even didn't even have to go up and fight with a bayonet, I guess they would be scared to pee their pants and hugged their heads and rats.
80 meters, 50 meters, at this time, the Feng soldiers who charged have been connected with the short soldiers of the Anhui army on the opposite side.
It didn't take long for Chen Quan's immediate superior, a sergeant squad leader, shouted: "The grenade is ready!"
Closer, 40 meters, 30 meters, 25 meters!
At this time, the chief sergeant shouted: "Throw it!" Immediately, he was the first to throw the grenade in his hand.
Chen Quan also followed closely and threw his grenade. As he ran, he could still clearly see that the grenade he threw drew a nearly perfect curve and then fell into the enemy's position.
Bang, bang, with a grenade thrown over, a dense explosion sounded on the opposite Anhui position. Although the single explosion power of the grenade is not great, so many soldiers throwing grenades together is enough to form a dense explosive shock wave, and a large number of grenade fragments In the flying, most of them fell into the land or mid-air, but some still rushed into the bodies of Anhui soldiers and then set off a bloody rain.
After Chen Quan saw his grenade explode, he obviously overturned two Anhui soldiers!
However, at this time, Chen Quan had no time to mock them. He had already clenched the rifle in his hand, and the bayonet in the front of the rifle looked extremely dazzling in the explosion. At the same time, the shouts of his comrades-in-arms came one after another: "Kill!"
The next moment, Chen Quan rushed into the position of the Anhui army opposite with bayonets with his comrades-in-arms. In front of him was an Anhui soldier who was only about 17 years old. His young face was full of panic. He saw Chen Quan rushing towards him like a god of murder. He wanted to shoot, but Yes, his hands were frozen. No matter how he pulled the trigger, he found that no bullets were fired. He forgot to pull the bolt to load the bullet!
But in just a few meters, he didn't react at all, because at this time, Chen Quan's bayonet had arrived in front of him, and then he only saw the dazzling reflected light on the bayonet, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chest. The next breath, his whole body seemed to lose strength. Gas, and then soft to the ground.
After he fell, his eyes were still open, and the corners of his mouth seemed to want to say something, but he could no longer speak. He lay on the ground and only saw a strong, blue-gray figure stepping past him. This was the person who killed him.
Chen Quan's expression was already full of ferocious at this time. He shouted and rushed to another Anhui soldier. With the sharp bayonet, another Anhui soldier was stabbed by him. When he pulled out the bayonet, the blood of the aorta gushed out like a spring, directly drenching Chen Quan more than a meter away. All over.
Chen Quan, who was stained with blood and his ferocious expression, shouted as if he were the devil from hell, arbitrarily harvesting the enemy's life.
Chen Quan can't remember how many enemies he killed, maybe four, maybe five, who cares.
However, when he pulled the bayonet out of another Anhui soldier, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back waist. The next moment, as if all his strength had gone out of thin air, his thick body could not even turn around. His straight legs were soft and half kneeled on the ground, and then sideways He fell to the ground and finally saw the enemy who gave him a fatal blow. He was a young Anhui soldier, only 16 or 17 years old, with a young face with panic, just like the first Anhui soldier he killed.
