Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Seeing this, the deputy commander-in-chief and Wang Chuan were a little dazed.

The charge of the cavalry company broke their previous understanding of combat charge.

In a conventional charge, the troops will generally pull the team apart to expand the coverage as much as possible, or adopt a three-three system or a round-by-wave attack mode to weaken the enemy and then overwhelm the defense line.

But the cavalry company is different. Although there are two platoons in charge of attacking in two directions, and the two platoons add up to only more than 70 people, their formation looks very strange.

It is triangular, with one fighter in the first row, two fighters in the second row, three and four in turn.

Every ten fighters formed a triangular assault group, and seven combat groups formed a large assault group, maintaining this triangle.

It's just that on each side, there is a soldier fighting in front, and the overall look looks like a rake.

The few extra soldiers who were not incorporated into the assault force stopped 100 meters away from the little devil's position, rode on horseback, aimed their horse rifles, and carried out sniping.

Does such a charge formation really work?

The deputy commander frowned tightly. Before seeing the result, he didn't know what to do.

As for Wang Chuan and other comrades in the working group, they were even more confused.

It was the first time they had seen this charging method.

"Da da da."

The little devil's heavy machine gun began to shoot.

Hearing the gunshot, everyone's heart tightened.

In this era, apart from heavy weapons such as cannons, heavy machine guns are the most powerful and lethal.

The rate of fire is fast and the firepower is fierce. If you are hit by a bullet, the light one will be disabled, and the severe one will be fatal.

In the past, when fighting against little devils, when encountering heavy machine gun fire, the Eighth Route Army used tactics of pulling out points.

Chapter 690 Eight Cavalry Attacking the Enemy

The so-called pull-out tactics may sound very targeted, but in fact the price to be paid is quite cruel.

The price is that the soldiers piled up with their lives. Each soldier completely ignored the other defenses of the little devil's position, aimed at the heavy firepower, and charged forward with grenades.

When you get to the front, detonate the grenade or explosives, and destroy the firepower point, it is tantamount to pulling out the point successfully.

A similar situation occurred when the [-]th Brigade attacked the Yamazaki Brigade.

At that time, the Yamazaki Brigade completely blocked the [-]th Brigade from its position with only a heavy machine gun bunker, unable to attack for a long time.

For this reason, the [-]th Brigade could only form a death squad and let the soldiers blow up the bunker with their lives.

In just a few charges, half of the 100-member death squad was sacrificed, but they didn't even touch the side of the little devil's heavy machine gun bunker.

In the end, if Qiao Lin didn't take the initiative to ask for orders and blow up the bunker with his own extraordinary ability, it's hard to say what the final outcome of that battle would be.

Even if they can win, the price paid by the [-]th Brigade will be even heavier.

If you switch to modern warfare, except for close combat on the ground, the role that heavy machine guns can play is really limited.

Fixed-point bombing by bombers, long-range strikes with howitzers, and even drones can be used to destroy. There are too many ways to unplug a heavy machine gun firepower.

But in this era, the most advanced weapon of the Eighth Route Army is probably the rifle in hand.

The range is not as far as the heavy machine gun, and the power is not as great as the heavy machine gun. If you want to win the battle, you have to sacrifice your life. There is no other choice.

And the battle against the Yamazaki brigade also reminded Qiao Lin.

The purpose of training the cavalry company is to fight, and the function of the cavalry company is to charge the position.

If in the future on the battlefield, the cavalry company encounters the heavy machine guns of the little devils, how should they respond?

Compared with infantry, cavalry has a bigger target, because they are still riding horses, and the chance of being hit is higher.

In order to deal with this situation, after careful research, Qiao Lin created a charge tactic specifically for heavy machine gun fire.

After all, not everyone has such powerful combat power as Qiao Lin, who can move dozens of meters in an instant, so Qiao Lin focused his tactics on the formation and horses.

At this moment, the formation adopted by the cavalry company was specially trained for the little devil's heavy machine gun.

The triangular formation reduces the probability of the soldiers in the front row being hit by bullets. The heavy machine guns focus on strafing, and the ability to strike accurately is a little bit worse, so the fire coverage of the little devils will be correspondingly reduced.

Moreover, each warrior rides a horse, takes a horse, and can change the mount at any time. This is not difficult for warriors with superb riding skills.

The most important thing is that although the charging team looks like a large triangle composed of multiple small triangles, in fact, while charging, the formation is constantly changing.

Isosceles triangle, right triangle, acute triangle, obtuse triangle...

The constantly changing formation made it impossible for the little devil to find any rules at all.

Unless the little devil can set up a whole row of heavy machine guns in the forward position to shoot at the same time, in that case, no matter how the cavalry company changes formation, it will be impossible to avoid it.

However, heavy machine guns are not Chinese cabbage. Even if the little devil's weapons and equipment far exceed those of the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible to equip an entire army of heavy machine guns.

The manufacturing process of heavy machine guns is strict, and the consumption of bullets is also huge, and it is also very stressful for little devils to bear it.

Usually, a squadron of little devils is equipped with two to three guns, a brigade is equipped with about twelve guns, and an alliance is equipped with forty guns.

The strong recoil of the heavy machine gun forced the little devil to shoot forward. If he wanted to aim at a certain point, no one could do it except for someone as powerful as Qiao Lin.

In this way, the charging team of the cavalry company can always change the formation before the bullets arrive, so that the bullets with flames can be shot into the air, or directly into the soil.

Each time the rifle was fired, the bolt had to be reloaded to load the cartridge.

The heavy machine gun is not so troublesome, as long as the ammunition belt or the magazine is installed, the bullets can be fired in one go, eliminating the need for loading preparations, and the rate of fire is extremely fast.

This is an advantage of heavy machine guns, but also a disadvantage.

Because of the ultra-fast rate of fire, two hundred rounds of bullets in one belt usually run out six to seven seconds after the shot is fired, and the belt needs to be replaced again.

The most important thing is that the caliber of the heavy machine gun bullet is too large, coupled with the fast rate of fire, when the bullet is fired from the barrel, it will generate huge friction.

This kind of friction may cause the temperature of the barrel to rise rapidly. Usually, when the two ammunition chains are fired continuously, the barrel will turn red and take time to cool down. If you continue to shoot, it is very likely that the barrel will burst. .

Although the power of the heavy machine gun is powerful, the disadvantages also exist, which gives the soldiers of the cavalry company a chance.

When the kid shoots, their focus is to change formation to avoid bullets, and when the kid changes the magazine or cools the barrel, they will speed up the charge.

So in the eyes of the deputy commander and others, they saw a very strange scene.

The charging cavalry company would suddenly start to change formation constantly, moving to one side and then to the other, and the soldiers also jumped back and forth between the two horses as if they were performing acrobatics.

If it weren't for knowing that they were charging, it would be easy to suspect that they were deliberately showing off their riding skills.

Just when they were dazzled, the troops suddenly accelerated and charged forward, rushing into tens of meters in the blink of an eye.

After repeating it several times, there were only tens of meters left from the little devil's position. While continuing to charge, the soldiers also raised the horse rifles that had been carried on their shoulders in advance, and aimed at the little devil to shoot.

After a burst of crisp gunshots, the little devils on the ground immediately fell down.

"This marksmanship..."

Wang Chuan couldn't help shouting, but couldn't find a suitable word to describe it.

After one shot, the soldiers had rushed to the little devil's position.

It is obviously a little troublesome to shoot at close range with a horse rifle.

Putting the gun around his neck, he reached out and pulled out the saber at his waist.

The formation changed again, not a triangle, not a variety of strange shapes, more than 70 soldiers, except for a few who were responsible for sniping in the distance, the rest lined up in two rows, spread out, and raised their sabers in unison.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

With the loud roar, the soldiers rushed into the enemy's formation, with their knives in their hands, and each little devil either lost half of his head, or his neck was cut off, and he died under the knife without even a chance to react. .

This tidy roar shocked the hearts of the deputy commander and the others. Even with a distance of hundreds of meters, they could still clearly feel the strong killing intent.

"The strong man eats the meat of the barbarians hungry, and laughs and talks about thirsting for the blood of the Huns! There is momentum, momentum!"

The deputy commander-in-chief thought of a poem and blurted it out.

He felt that this poem was worthy of the current scene and the soldiers of the cavalry company.

For infantry, the charge of cavalry is crushing at best, but massacre at worst.

As soon as he rushed into the position, the little devil had no power to fight back.

Chapter 690

The spear is like a dragon, and the knife is like a rainbow.

The sabers in the hands of the soldiers brought out patches of cold light, mercilessly harvesting the lives of these little devils.

In the blink of an eye, the little devil's position in the depression was overwhelmed by the cavalry company.

Those little devils who held up their guns and didn't even care about aiming were directly cut to the ground by the saber.

Dumbfounded, the deputy commander, Wang Chuan, and the comrades in the working group were all dumbfounded.

Even though it was a reorganized cavalry company, there were two platoons left, and the rest charged in two directions. How could dozens of people beat the little devil like this?

If it weren't for the previous shelling and heavy machine gun fire as a foreshadowing, this battlefield would look more like the Eighth Route Army massacring little devils.

Before the cavalry company wiped out a brigade of little devils and beheaded them, some people wondered if there was something hidden in it.

After all, the incident took place in the base area of ​​the [-]th Division. It is not ruled out that in order to boost morale, the results of the battle of the large troops were placed on the heads of the cavalry companies. Setting a model is also for the overall development of the troops.

The reason for this suspicion is mainly because of the casualty ratio of the Eighth Route Army in previous battles with little devils.

With a casualty ratio of one to seven or even one to eight, it is really hard to accept that a company can wipe out a brigade of little devils.

But at this moment, they couldn't help but believe it. Facts speak louder than words. What they saw with their own eyes must be true.

After the shock, comes the surprise.

The Eighth Route Army has such a strong combat force, doesn't it mean that in future battles, casualties will be greatly reduced.

Although these chiefs don't have to go to the battlefield to fight in person, it doesn't mean they don't understand the cruelty of war.

They are all the Eighth Route Army, and they all share the same belief. Every soldier who died is his compatriots and comrades-in-arms. How could they not feel uncomfortable.

"Company Commander Wang, the speed of the guard company is a bit slow, let them speed up, if they can't wipe out all of them, they will be defeated in one fell swoop."
