Chapter 58 Annihilation (3)
In modern warfare, simple infantry was no longer the main force of the battlefield. Since the Gulf War and Kosovo War, there was even war without the need for infantry law. Although the later Chechen War, Afghan War and the War on Terrorism proved that infantry had not yet withdrawn from the battlefield, it cannot be denied that the frontal attack on land had been completed through armored troops and air strike forces. Infantry could only serve as auxiliary forces to follow the armored troops and do some final work to clean up the mess, such as occupation, alert, guard, logistics, etc.
However, in some special battlefields, such as urban warfare, mountain warfare, and jungle warfare, they still have to rely on infantry, which is also an important reason why warfares can never be without infantry. Therefore, the infantry training in modern warfare is also mainly based on street fighting, mountain warfare, jungle warfare, and special operations tactics. After the anti-terrorism war became the mainstream, urban warfare became the weight of infantry. Moreover, the weapons configured by infantry are gradually adapting to these combat modes. For example, the trend of modern assault rifles is getting shorter and shorter, and the caliber is also 5.6-5.8 mm. As well as unsupported design, light machine guns, caliber bazooka, grenade launchers, etc., are all weapons suitable for combat in close-range and complex environments.
The current combat mode is exactly the street combat mode that is most suitable for the assault troops to perform. The soldiers alternately cover, some are responsible for assault, some are responsible for the side, some are responsible for the heavy weapons to attack, and some are responsible for the sniping of the enemy's commanders, each of whom is responsible for their own responsibilities and cooperates with each other, and both tactics and weapons performance are fully utilized.
In this era, it was an era when line-up shooting and linear arrays were popular, and the main war model was mainly warfare, and there was no concept of street fighting at all. This was not that there was no street fighting in this era, and as long as you could win in a battle, the situation would be decided.
Even if it is an offensive and defensive battle in the city, the defensive side is accustomed to the tactical idea of "defending the enemy outside the country". As long as the defense line outside the city is broken, the defenders will basically be defeated. Even if the defeated side retreats into the city to fight street battles, it will be just the final dying struggle and has no impact on the overall situation. There will never be deliberately organized street battles or failures in the battles, but by retreating into the city to fight street battles and turning defeat into victory.
Not to mention the street fighting tactics and the gap between the two sides' weapons. The Eight-Nation Alliance used bolt-pull-type rifles. When firing a shot, it had to pull the bolt-pull-reset the bullet before it could fire again. And that's it. The magazine capacity of the bolt-pull-type rifle is generally six rounds, and after firing, it must be refilled.
The weapons of the assault troops are not just assault rifles, squad machine guns, rocket launchers, as well as egg grenades and grenade launchers, forming a multi-level firepower advantage that combines killing and surface killing is not something that the Eight-Nation Alliance can compete with. Therefore, not only are they fighting soundly and vigorously, advancing step by step, but there are almost no casualties. Only a few soldiers were injured, and three soldiers withdrew from the battle due to their serious injuries.
If it was in the wild, the Eight-Nation Alliance might be able to compete with the assault troops by relying on its number of advantages, or after the firepower of the assault troops, approached to conduct hand-to-hand combat. However, the roads in the town were narrow and there was limited room for maneuvering, so the Eight-Nation Alliance could not expand its strength, and the number of advantages was not exerted at all. As a result, they were defeated step by step, and suffered casualties and injuries.
At this time, the other two land combat platoons also entered from both sides of the town. At this time, the Eight-Nation Alliance's attention was attracted by the frontal assault troops and there was almost no defense on the side. As a result, the two land combat platoons easily broke into the town and launched an attack on both sides of the Eight-Nation Alliance.
In the face of frontal advance, although the Eight-Nation Alliance was defeated step by step, they could still avoid organizing resistance. However, the flanks were attacked again, and the Eight-Nation Alliance was immediately defeated and the defense line collapsed, and the soldiers fled in scattered. Three land war platoons were gathered at the command center of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Juhe Town and surrounded the command center. At this time, there were only more than 100 Eight-Nation Alliance guarding the command center, and the Japanese army accounted for about half, and they were still resisting to the death.
At this time, the entire battle lasted for more than 40 minutes, and the landing troops gained an absolute advantage, and there were very few casualties. Even Qiu Yahui did not expect that the war would go so smoothly. But at this time, the disadvantage of the lack of soldiers in the landing troops was exposed. Although the command of the Eight-Nation Alliance was not surrounded by the landing troops, there were still many remaining soldiers, and they fled out of the town in scattered places, but the landing troops did not have enough troops to pursue them.
Qiu Yahui had no choice but to comfort himself. It was already very good to have more than one hundred people to achieve such a battle. Don’t expect to wipe out the enemy. And even so, it’s okay to wipe out this Eight-Nation Alliance.
However, at this moment, the reinforcements actually arrived at the battlefield, which was much earlier than Qiu Yahui expected. It turned out that the reinforcements received a notice from Qiu Yahui that the plan had changed. The landing troops changed from dragging the Eight-Nation Alliance to formally attacking in advance. After the reinforcements asked the headquarters, they decided to take a steamboat to go ashore, and the steamboat directly sent the reinforcements to the battlefield.
The steam paddle boat can be used both water and land, and the terrain requirements are not high. However, the steam paddle boat itself is a vehicle with a very high fuel consumption. It consumes more fuel when sailing on land. However, now the situation is mainly due to the war, so we cannot think about saving fuel. The maximum speed of the 76 type steam paddle boat passing through the fleet can reach 45 knots, which is about 80 kilometers per hour. Therefore, after getting ashore, it will soon arrive on the battlefield and send the reinforcements to the extreme.
Seeing that the reinforcements arrived at the battlefield in advance, Qiu Yahui was overjoyed. It was time to come, so he immediately ordered the two land combat companies of the reinforcements to immediately disperse into platoons and attack separately, pursuing the surrounding areas of Juhe Town, and searching for fleeing Eight-Nation Alliance deserters. After all, Qiu Yahui brought the mortar company of the reinforcements to enter Juhe Town and command the battle to attack the Eight-Nation Alliance Command.
The Eight-Nation Alliance has a command center for Juhe Town. It is naturally the best and largest inn in the town. It is a two-story building with a mixed civil and industrial structure. It has more than 20 guest rooms. There is also a large courtyard downstairs. The courtyard wall is made of stone mixed with yellow mud, more than one foot thick and about one meter eight. It is indeed a suitable place to be a command center.
Originally, when the battle began, the commanders of the Eight-Nation Alliance had the possibility of escaping, but the commanders were all people who wanted to be respected or qualified soldiers, so they naturally did not want to escape from the battlefield easily, so they all wanted to resist for a while. As a result, no one expected that in less than a moment, the battle situation actually developed to the complete defeat of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and even the command center was surrounded. At this time, the commanders naturally regretted their innocence.
However, regret is useless. The commanders of the Eight-Nation Alliance had to cheer up and command the battle, and they had to defend the command center. However, the positions were not something that could be defended just by trying to. Under the attack of the landing troops, the Eight-Nation Alliance retreated one after another on the defense lines outside the command center, and soon all retreated to the yard of the command center to guard. Fortunately, the wall of the Ishiche courtyard provided a pretty good cover for the Eight-Nation Alliance, so they could not stand for a while.
At this time, Qiu Yahui arrived at the position and saw that the command of the Eight-Nation Alliance was surrounded, so he ordered the attack to be temporarily stopped. Instead, he called on the Eight-Nation Alliance to surrender. After all, it would be better not to fight without fighting. First, it would save ammunition, and second, the more prisoners he captured, the more chips he would have in negotiations with the Eight-Nation Alliance in the future. Moreover, Qiu Yahui also knew that the yellow-haired white-skin did not humiliate surrender, and when he was desperate on the battlefield, he would mostly choose to surrender.
But the result was a bit beyond Qiu Yahui's surprise. The Eight-Nation Alliance replied that they were a platoon of gunfire and injured two soldiers. Qiu Yahui couldn't help but be furious and said, "His grandma, she is shameless and beat me hard, and use a rocket launcher to blow up the courtyard wall."
Ran Runfeng, platoon leader, said: "Company Commander, I just tried it. This wall is made of stones and cannot be penetrated by the rocket launcher. I just hit three shots in a row, but it was useless."
Qiu Yahui raised his head and said, "No wonder the foreigner refused to surrender. Then I used a mortar to bomb the courtyard and knocked down the house inside to see if they could hide there."
At this time, Luo Yue said, "Company Commander Qiu, I think you should not use mortars and try using rifles and grenades."
Grenades are a large-caliber ammunition mounted in front of the barrel and fired with guns. They are surface killing weapons used by infantry at mid-to-late distances. They are mainly used to kill living targets, destroy various light armored targets, permanent firepower and other field fortifications. Therefore, the use of grenades equipment greatly improves the combat capabilities of infantry against surface targets and anti-armor on modern battlefields.
There are two types of grenade launchers: one is a grenade launcher temporarily mounted under the muzzle, and the other is to directly make the muzzle into a device suitable for firing grenades. However, generally, there are many types of gun-mounted grenade launchers. Because this design is easy to use, it is advantageous to concentrate assault rifles and grenade launchers.
At the beginning of design, the Type 95 rifle was considered to develop a matching gun-mounted grenade launcher, which can fire 5mm caliber grenades, which are divided into killer grenades, anti-tank grenades, killer armor-breaking grenades, burning grenades, smoke-blow grenades, lighting grenades, anti-riot grenades, etc. The range is generally between 100 meters and 300 meters, which can make up for the gap between the bazooka launcher and the hand-throwing grenade, enrich the surface killing level of individual soldiers, and greatly enhance the individual combat capabilities of infantry.
In the first-level battle sequence of the platoon, the platoon leader, the squad leader of each squad, and the deputy squad leader are equipped with guns and grenade launchers, and are equipped with six to ten rounds of ammunition. The types of ammunition are configured according to the different combat configurations.
