Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1258: , Kitakami, South exit

Chapter 1258, heading north, south exit

Night, quiet.

The cavalry moved through the darkness.

At the beginning, many people were not used to it.

Mainly the confidants brought by Li Tianxia and Li Xianzhou. About thirty people.

They are not used to fighting at night.

I had barely trained before. Completely inexperienced.

Even when marching with a large army, you may get lost. The speed can't keep up either.

You can imagine what would happen if they suddenly met the Japanese invaders. He probably died without even knowing how.

"quick!"

Li Tianxia and Li Xianzhou were both embarrassed.

The person he brought with him actually stretched his hips like this?

Let the commissioner underestimate him.

Of course, the two of them cannot come to office alone. It will definitely bring some capable men. Including staff officers, guards and so on.

Zhang Yong equipped them all with new weapons and equipment.

Including Somi submachine guns, telescopes and so on. to play their role.

However, be realistic. Their level is not high.

Neither Li Xianzhou nor Li Tianxia were very capable commanders. Of course, the people around you can't be too outstanding.

Fortunately, Zhang Yong's requirements for them were very low.

Don't ask them to perform miracles, just ask them to be about the same as the average.

It’s okay to lose the battle. But you can’t lose everything.

The requirements for Li Tianxia are higher. Hope he can win the battle.

The requirements for Li Xianzhou are average. As long as the Japanese invaders don't make dumplings out of them, victory will be considered as long as the entire army is not annihilated.

The shadow of fifty thousand pigs always hangs over my heart.

Fortunately, I found that Li Xianzhou worked hard. Although the talent is not high. But it can be seen that he is trying to adapt.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

The cavalry moved in the darkness.

Zhang Yong led the way. Trying to spot the Japanese cavalry.

There must be Japanese cavalry around Shimen. They are here for reconnaissance. The exact number of people is unknown.

To the north…

All the way north…

Finally, a red dot appeared.

At the beginning, there were scattered red dots.

Then, more than thirty red dots appeared on the edge of the map.

Japanese cavalry!

Find the target.

He immediately waved his hands to signal everyone to slow down.

The Japanese invaders cannot be alarmed. Otherwise, there would be no way to sneak attack. Once the Japanese cavalry escapes, it will be difficult to pursue them.

"Anything discovered?"

"Yes. Facing due north, ten o'clock direction. There are Japanese cavalry. About thirty of them."

"ah?"

Li Tianxia and Li Xianzhou looked at each other.

Suddenly I felt that it was difficult for me to keep up with Zhang Yong's steps! I don't understand it at all.

How did he detect the Japanese invaders?

It’s completely inexplicable!

No cavalry scouts were sent out. Sensed out of thin air?

Can't learn...

I can't learn it at all...

"This is a weapon for you. Garand."

"It's a semi-automatic rifle. Has eight rounds. No need to pull the bolt. Can fire rapidly."

"Both infantry and cavalry can be used. Infantry is more suitable."

"The disadvantage is that the ammunition consumption is relatively large."

Zhang Yong arranged for them to observe weapons one by one. First up is Garland.

The two armies of the 68th and 69th armies were under the jurisdiction of the brigades and the brigades were under the jurisdiction of the regiments. The division level was cancelled.

The formal establishment is three brigades and nine regiments.

The total army strength is about 30,000 people.

But there are currently only 10,000 people.

Each brigade will be equipped with a small number of Garand semi-automatic rifles. Used as the fist force of the entire brigade. It is the most elite assault force in the entire brigade.

Why not equip them all? The main reason is that the system cannot supply that much.

Bolt-action rifles are cheap to make. But semi-automatic rifles are much taller.

It costs as much to make one Garand as it does to make five bolt-action rifles. Relatively speaking, bolt-action rifles are still cheap and plentiful.

Moreover, bolt-action rifles do not require as much ammunition. Logistics can be provided.

If it is Garland, the logistical pressure will be great.

Unless he, Zhang Yong, was at the scene, the Garand could only be used as a bolt-action rifle.

There was a time when Ying Qiqi was asked by the top brass of the British army to reduce the rate of fire. The reason is that the logistics supply is insufficient. Ammo consumption is too high.

Even the old British Empire is like this. What's more, China is a purely agricultural country?

However, a small-scale troop raid is just what it takes. All disadvantages are absent.

"superior!"

Jiao Rulin is in charge of teaching.

Although he is Sun Dianying's subordinate. However, Zhang Yong decided to poach him.

Whether it is the 68th Army or the 69th Army, they all need an elite cavalry. Fighting on the North China Plain is absolutely impossible without cavalry.

Even the Eighth Route Army was so difficult that it established multiple cavalry units. Although the numbers vary. That's cavalry too. There were two moments.

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

The others followed him, moving forward slowly.

Raise the telescope.

In front, Jiao Rulin rushed forward with three hundred cavalry.

The reaction of the Japanese cavalry was actually quite fast. Quickly mount the horse. Then take out the gun.

However…

Bang!

The entire sector was filled with gunshots.

All were shot from long range with Garand rifles. Fire coverage.

"bite!"

The missing clip pops out.

Get a new one immediately.

Then continue.

Bang!

Gunfire still exploded.

Probably aim, and then there will be fierce fire suppression.

It doesn't matter if you hit it or not. Just fire at the Japanese cavalry.

The only requirement is speed.

The sooner the better.

Once a missing clip is finished, replace it with a new one immediately.

"Baga!"

"Plop!"

Japanese cavalry continued to fall.

Horses were constantly shot and fell.

The battlefield was in chaos.

The Japanese cavalry realized something was wrong and hurriedly turned around and fled.

However, their action was wrong.

Want to run? It's too late.

In front of a traditional bolt-action rifle, it may be possible to run.

However, it is really not easy to run away in front of a semi-automatic rifle. Too much firepower.

Bang!

Keep shooting.

Then quickly replace the leaking clip.

Then keep shooting.

Like a robot.

Just throw in the firepower.

Of course, in the end, a few sporadic Japanese cavalry managed to escape.

The Japanese cavalry's escape skills were indeed very strong.

But it doesn't matter.

The few who escaped just called for more Japanese invaders to arrive.

"So fast..."

Li Tianxia said slowly.

Unexpectedly, the firepower of a semi-automatic rifle was so intense.

This was his first time encountering it.

Fortunately the enemy had no such weapons. otherwise…

"It's good to have an ambush."

Li Xianzhou said something dull.

Obviously, this is what he concluded. Very impressive.

Zhang Yong nodded.

It’s good if you can understand it.

Indeed, the biggest advantage of semi-automatic rifles is to fight ambush.

If it's a positional battle, it's no different from a bolt-action rifle. The rate of fire advantage cannot be used. No matter how fast it is, can it be faster than a machine gun?

However, laying an ambush is completely different.

The same goes for sneak attacks.

It can pour the maximum amount of ammunition on the Japanese invaders in the shortest time.

Before the Japanese invaders could react, they caused maximum damage to the Japanese invaders. In this way, the enemy's counterattack force can be reduced to a minimum.

That was the case with the battle just now.

In a violent shooting, more than half of the Japanese cavalry were killed or injured.

The remaining people tried to fight back, but were suppressed by fire and unable to fight back effectively. He can only be beaten passively.

Otherwise, once a tug-of-war breaks out between the two sides, the casualties will be huge.

"How does it compare to a light machine gun?"

"More firepower points. More dispersed. Shooting from multiple angles."

A staff officer replied.

If it is a light machine gun, it will be easily hit by Japanese sharpshooters.

Experienced Japanese invaders were able to avoid machine gun fire. Entering a shooting blind spot. Then fight back.

However, with more than ten Garands, the Japanese invaders were at a loss what to do.

No matter which angle you look at, you can get beaten.

In other words, there is no safe place to hide. He could die at any time.

“It’s good for everyone to play.”

"right!"

The staff members summed up their experiences one after another.

From a practical perspective, shooting from multiple angles is very important.

Make it impossible for the enemy to find the blind spot for shooting.

In fact, it was a headache for the German army to encounter the suppression of the Garand semi-automatic rifle.

Especially the machine gunner of the MG42 general-purpose machine is often killed. Because you can't suppress so many targets at the same time. Every target has the potential to kill you.

The firepower needs to be dispersed but fierce.

"Another very important point is that the accuracy of shooting is not high."

"right!"

Everyone is in favor.

This is also very important. Especially now.

Because most of the soldiers in the national army have not received strict training and their marksmanship is very poor.

It is impossible to expect them to hit the enemy accurately.

It can only be roughly played blindly.

This requires a high firepower density. Only then can there be a chance of hitting.

Obviously, this is something a bolt-action rifle cannot do. But semi-automatic does. You can kill the target with random shots.

"Commissioner."

Jiao Rulin led a big white horse to Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong's eyes suddenly lit up.

What a beautiful big white horse. I liked it at first sight.

good.

Could it be that those who were killed were Kwantung Army cavalry?

It's possible.

But what the heck!

No matter which unit of the Japanese invaders, if they encounter Zhang Yong, they will only die.

Da Baima saw Zhang Yong coming and subconsciously resisted. Zhang Yong is also an old player. It comes with a punch. Soon, the big white horse became obedient.

Get on your horse.

keep going.

There may be Japanese invaders nearby.

Sure enough, in the second half of the night, a red dot moved quickly over.

The lower left corner of the map shows 96 people.

Well come!

"Japanese cavalry!"

"ambush!"

Zhang Yong immediately waved his hand.

Everyone dispersed immediately.

Then quietly ambush.

The war horses were all gathered together and brought to the back of the team.

In the darkness, it was difficult for the Japanese invaders to notice movement thousands of meters away. Therefore, it is still an orderly progress.

"quick!"

The M2 heavy machine gun was quickly set up.

The distance of five kilometers would take the Japanese cavalry about ten minutes.

After all, it’s not a full gallop. To preserve the strength of the war horse.

Zhang Yong lay on the ground.

Lying down honestly. Don't dare to be careless at all.

This is a battlefield. No joke. A stray bullet can hit you at any time.

By the time New China was founded, how many important figures had unfortunately died under stray bullets? If they don't die, someone might even be qualified to be a general!

fighting!

start!

"Tu tu tu tu..."

The large-caliber heavy machine gun opened fire first.

In an instant, the Japanese cavalry team seemed to explode.

Bang!

Then the gunfire exploded.

Li Xianzhou:! !

Li Tianxia:! !

stunned.

God! Such ferocious firepower!

That's an anti-aircraft machine gun!

Anti-aircraft machine gun level shooting? Too brutal.

Not to mention cavalry, even a wall can be easily shattered.

Sure enough, the Japanese cavalry fell one after another.

Some of the Japanese cavalry hurriedly dispersed in all directions.

Bang!

Subjected to semi-automatic rifle fire.

Zhang Yong does not pursue total annihilation.

If you can kill one, it counts.

If you didn't kill it this time, come back next time.

In short, everything is focused on eliminating the living forces of the Japanese invaders.

Plop!

The dull sound kept coming.

"Snap hook!"

Some Japanese cavalry fought back.

The Japanese cavalry had grenades and mortars.

However, in the face of the Garand rifle, it was difficult for the Japanese invaders to muster the strength to counterattack.

Mainly, the Japanese cavalry only had about a hundred people.

The strength ratio was three to one.

This is the most basic premise.

Another lesson for Li Xianzhou and Li Tianxia is to concentrate superior forces.

Absolutely no fueling tactics. There can be no tug-of-war. War of attrition.

When you come up, you have to use more to defeat less.

At least more than three to one. Five to one is best.

In short, if your army has 30,000 people, then it is best to choose a regiment of Japanese invaders as your target.

Thirty thousand people, fighting 3,000 people, there is still hope.

If you can't beat one out of ten, then you really have to buy a piece of tofu and get killed.

You must know that what you have is not an old sleeve made in Hanyang. Compared with the Japanese invaders, your small arms are not inferior at all. Even have an advantage.

As long as the Japanese aggressors' aircraft, heavy artillery, and tanks have no chance to function, they will beat the Japanese aggressors to death if they are caught.

However, weapons and equipment are not the most critical.

The key is tactics.

Have flexible tactics. Aim to destroy the enemy.

Ten minutes later, the battle ended. More than 70 Japanese invaders were killed. A dozen or so escaped.

Don't chase poor bandits.

Clean up the battlefield.

The battlefield was messy and bloody.

No one alive.

All were corpses.

"The Japanese invaders don't seem to be doing well..."

A staff officer murmured in a low voice.

Obviously, they felt that the Japanese invaders were not terrible.

You see, with one attack, dozens more people were killed. They are all cavalry. If it's infantry, it's easier to deal with.

Zhang Yong heard it. No correction.

At this moment, what is needed most is confidence. It is the confidence to defeat the Japanese invaders.

Indeed, when the firepower was basically equal, the Japanese invaders were nothing special. The premise is to prevent the Japanese invaders' heavy weapons from exerting their power.

otherwise…

The gap is too big.

Totally irreparable.

The battlefield has been cleaned.

Actually it’s nothing.

Anyway, there is no one Zhang Yong likes.

Tonight, the main purpose is to test the Garand semi-automatic rifle and Browning large-caliber machine gun.

See firsthand their power. Have a clear concept.

As for other weapons, they have all been exposed to them. There is no need to show it.

Close the team.

Go back to Shimen.

"Report, urgent call from the Military and Administrative Department."

"read."

"Order: The 68th Army and the 69th Army will move north as soon as possible, cooperate with the Pingsui Railway Operation, and regain Baoding."

"What?"

Zhang Yong was stunned.

Is the Ministry of Military Affairs crazy?

Want me to take back Baoding?

joke…

How can I regain Baoding now?

There are no important people, no heavy weapons, no heavy weapons, how about taking the head to recover it?

Reach out.

Take the telegram.

That's right.

That's what the telegram said.

That is to order the 68th Army and the 69th Army to go north immediately to cooperate with the Shanxi-Sui Army to fight back against the Japanese invaders.

Didn't look up. There is no format. It was given to him Zhang Yong.

frown.

He was retaliated by the Military and Administrative Department.

Sure enough, if you have a grudge against the Ministry of Military Affairs, you will definitely be retaliated against.

It seemed as if He Yingqin was sneering.

Don’t you have two army numbers? Then I will assign them according to the combat missions of the two armies!

It doesn’t matter if you have anyone!

Anyway, you have two armies! The combat mission is also two armies!

Made…

Recover Baoding?

impossible.

However, participating in the Battle of Nankou is very possible.

In fact, Zhang Yong did not want to recapture Baoding. Because he has no heavy weapons. If you go to Baoding, you will be blown to ashes.

However, the battle at Nankou was completely different. There are mountains over there. It's mountain warfare. The Japanese invaders called it "Mountain War".

"Commissioner..."

"Form your troops immediately and prepare to set off."

"destination?"

"Near Juyongguan."

"Then Baoding..."

"Don't go to Baoding. We don't have heavy weapons, so we definitely won't be able to recapture Baoding. If we go, we will die."

"Understood."

"However, there are mountainous areas near Juyongguan, and the Japanese aggressors' heavy weapons cannot be used effectively. We can try to engage in mountain warfare with the Japanese aggressors."

"good."

Zhang Yong made simple arrangements.

Unexpectedly, the troops were about to go into battle before they were even organized.

However, this is also the norm.

As wars became more and more frequent in the future, the troops could not carry out replenishment, training, and reorganization in a planned manner, and they were all rushed into battle.

Many soldiers have never shot a gun seriously before even going to the battlefield. Not a single bullet was fired.

Is this a soldier? no. He was simply a farmer who picked up a gun in a hurry.

Where does the fighting power come from? To go into battle is to die.

However, the reality is so cruel. Even though he knew he was going to die, he had to go there.

Otherwise, the army will be empty.

well…

"Just in time, Commander Tang's troops have moved north, you can just follow them."

"Commissioner, won't you come with us?"

"I…"

Zhang Yong actually wanted to go.

If there were no Japanese aircraft or tanks, he would not be afraid of the Japanese infantry.

However, it seems that the Songhu battlefield in the south is about to begin.

Forget it, let’s go to Nankou!

There are so many big bosses on the Songhu battlefield, and it’s useless to go there alone.

Wait until the Songhu battlefield collapses, and then you can clean up the mess by yourself. Um. When the time comes, Lao Jiang will definitely call him over.

Make up your mind. Go to the south exit. First engage in mountain warfare with the Japanese invaders.

"I'll go with you!"

"That's great!"

Li Tianxia and Li Tianxia were both relieved.

They haven't adapted to the battlefield yet. If Zhang Yong is not around, I would really be a little confused.

However, with Zhang Yong following him, his heart was shattered.

So I called back.

Immediately lead the army northward.

Get ready for a fight.
