Chapter 1782 Strangling tactics!
The Sakata United team was no longer as fierce as before. Originally, more than one-third of the three infantry brigades were knocked out.
Now his Sakata United has less than two infantry brigades.
The reason is that in Ningyang County, Bantian also left some defensive forces, and his artillery brigade had previously lost a squadron under the ambush of the Supervisory Corps.
He also had a chariot squadron under his command, and he also lost five chariots when he reinforced Dongping County. So at this time, only eight chariots of various models remained in his chariot squadron.
However, there are many puppet troops, and the two puppet troops of the First Division actually had nearly 4,000 people. Although they had been ambushed by the Special Battalion in Feiyunling before and some people were lost, their total strength was still more than 3,600.
In addition to the Japanese in the Sakata United team, the total force of the Sakata mixed brigade can reach more than 6,000 people.
So this time, Dragon Boat Festival is also considered a snake swallowing an elephant. After all, his main battle battalion was left on the edge of the Yellow River to attract the attention of the Japanese!
After deducting the baggage battalions that cannot participate in the war, the number of troops available for Dragon Boat Festival now is less than 5,000, and each battalion has added a lot of new recruits, which has greatly reduced its combat effectiveness.
But even so, Dragon Boat Festival still wants to get rid of Sakata United.
Of course, you can never eat it in one bite, and you must eat it in one bite at a time.
But at this time, the old Japanese devil Sakata had no idea that Dragon Boat Festival had killed a shot and was coming towards him. He was still waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival at the ferry entrance to eat cannon fodder.
He ordered the troops to advance quickly and strive to encircle Dragon Boat Festival at the ferry with the Japanese army on the Western Front.
So, the opportunity for Dragon Boat Festival came.
The scouts sent before the Dragon Boat Festival reported to the Dragon Boat Festival that the Japanese and puppet troops were very fast and did not send scouts along the way. They were eager to march, and the troops were pulling very long.
When the Dragon Boat Festival heard this news, they became excited. The Japanese marched in a hurry and were very tired. This was just a visit to send people to their heads.
"map!"
Dragon Boat Festival called out the map, and Lao Abacus quickly took out the map and spread it on the ground.
Yu Mang, who was at the corner of the Dragon Boat Festival's eyes, saw the old abacus and said in surprise: "When did you come back?"
Lao Aba Pan smiled and said, "It's not long since I came back, so I went to learn about the ammunition consumption of each unit."
Dragon Boat Festival asked: "If there are nearly 6,000 people on the other side, will our submachine guns be enough?"
Lao Abacus thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The regiment, according to the combat style of my supervisory corps, it is absolutely not enough to eliminate 60,000 enemies without 60,000 bullets. Moreover, these 6,000 people were all killed by submachine guns. Hehe!"
Dragon Boat Festival smiled bitterly and said, "This is also a problem. When you fight, who can take care of so much? After this battle, if you are busy, the submachine gun cannot be used, you have to redistribute the Japanese machine gun. Our firepower cannot be reduced. Once it drops, the combat effectiveness of our supervisory corps is not much different from that of ordinary troops."
"It's a group leader, I'll think about it now!"
The old abacus responded, but he did not mean to leave, but sat next to Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon Boat Festival ordered the correspondent soldiers to call Sun Shiyu, Zhao Weidong and others.
Shangguan Zhibiao, Sun Shiyu and others were not there because they were waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival orders about two kilometers on the other side of the mountain road.
So Dragon Boat Festival only called a few officers from our team.
The Dragon Boat Festival pointed to the map and said, "The Japanese came to us. Their march was very fast and they did not send scouts. This means that the old Japanese devil in Sakata must have thought that we were still at the ferry. That's why he hurried over with his people.
This is an opportunity for us. If the Japanese cooperate, we will defeat the more with less and wipe out the mixed brigade of Sakata."
"Group, just say what to do! Brothers are waiting!"
Sun Shiyu asked in a stern manner.
The Dragon Boat Festival said: "Look, this is the 305th highland that was deployed by the Special First Battalion. The road extending from here to Pingyin County is our position to kill the enemy.
In other words, the five-kilometer mountain road extending northeast from Highland No. 305 is our battlefield. We concentrated everyone two to five kilometers away from the small highland No. 305. We first attacked the troops behind them. After quickly strangled nearly half of the troops of the Bantian Brigade, we quickly surrounded the small highland No. 305, and worked with the Special Battalion to wipe out the mixed brigade of the Bantian."
"The team is great. If your plan is successful, the Japanese will not be able to escape."
Zhao Weidong said excitedly at this time. But the Dragon Boat Festival was not as optimistic as Zhao Weidong, because there were more than 4,000 Japanese mixed brigades with at least 6,000 people, and there were also many Japanese chariot squadrons.
Therefore, the task of destroying this chariot squadron was handed over to Sun Shiyu. Moreover, Sun Shiyu's artillery battalion not only had to blow up the Japanese chariots, but also cooperated with the main force to complete a rapid strangulation battle.
Strangling combat is different from ordinary ambush. Strangling is to strangle the enemy in a short period of time with superior firepower.
For example, the enemy has a regiment of troops, who are hurriedly walking on the unstoppable mountain road. At this moment, you ambush the same troops as the opponent in the dark, and use machine guns, heavy machine guns, and submachine guns to shoot the opponent on the spot in a short time.
What is emphasized here is that in a short period of time, because if the enemy is given time to counterattack, it can only be considered an ordinary ambush.
In other words, in order to shorten the battle time, the ambush will walk out of the bunker, hold superior firepower, suppress the enemy in an all-round way, and even shoot head-on with the enemy.
Therefore, this tactic will not be easily used even in Dragon Boat Festival. Because strangulation combat, casualties will be higher than ordinary ambush combat.
But at this time, Dragon Boat Festival had to do so.
Because once the enemy is not defeated in a short time, the Japanese troops in front will quickly reflect, and they are very likely to have some of them pinch the Special Battalion, and the remaining Japanese and puppet troops counterattack the ambush troops.
Once the two sides confront each other, the Supervisory Corps will fall into an extremely unfavorable situation.
In other words, they will be dragged by the Japanese around the 305th Highland, and then the Japanese reinforcements will surround the Dragon Boat Festival here layer by layer, and finally wipe out the 305th Highland.
So in this battle, the word "fast" is the key.
