Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 556 Hunting Ground

"Why do I remember the commander saying that the night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find the devils?" Yang Xiaoshan thought about it and felt more and more familiar.

The scene when Tang Dao first arrived at the warehouse and killed a devil squad alone was simply a god-like existence. Yang Xiaoshan even remembered the poem he chanted when he pretended to be 13.

"This may be the legendary learning from one example! The commander is really both civil and military!" 'Heizi', who was rarely rested without a mission, sighed on the side.

"Hurry up, brother Xishui, write it down, write it down!" Lu Sanjiang was the first to wake up among the rough guys, and hurriedly grabbed Gu Xishui who had just come in from outside and shouted.

"The commander's poem is great!" Gu Xishui, who didn't know what was going on, listened to a group of rough guys talking and trying to recall the poem that Tang Dao had just pirated. He was also stunned for a long time before squeezing out a sentence.

"Brother Xishui, you must remember it well. Teach me several times, I must remember it in my heart." Lu Sanjiang is the most active one among the rough guys.

"What for? Show off when you are looking for a wife? Let the future sister-in-law be devoted to you?" Gu Xishui asked the cavalry platoon leader who had formed a deep friendship with him on the battlefield with some amusement.

"No, no, this is for emergency use." Lu Sanjiang shook his head like a rattle, just like a certain officer heard that the future Taishan wanted to be sworn brothers with him.

Although Lu Sanjiang is not very literate, his brain is definitely good. Gu Xishui only repeated it to him a few times, and he remembered it firmly in his heart, without a single word wrong...

An hour later, the first military order of the headquarters was issued.

"Order, the 43rd Army's direct independent battalion is responsible for the safety of the rear of the Jiaxing defense line, and clears out the small Japanese infiltration forces, and must not miss a single person! Wu, Guo, Gu!"

Tang Dao quickly convened a military meeting of the entire battalion and above at the company level to arrange the deployment of the defense line and then clear out the upcoming small Japanese troops.

According to Tang Dao's inference, the last time the Japanese army sent two infantry squadron-level special forces to defend the Baihegang Bridge, they were wiped out after sneaking into Songjiang for dozens of kilometers. This time they will never make the same mistake again, and the tactical goals are different. Last time they wanted to attack the Baihegang Bridge, this time they only need to conduct battlefield reconnaissance and report the news, and they must enter the battlefield in small teams or even in groups of twos and threes.

In this case, there is no need for the independent battalion to send out the entire army to conduct a dragnet patrol. Jiaxing and Jiashan are not much different, and they are basically plain terrain. Due to thousands of years of human reclamation and development, the plain is divided by crisscrossing Tangpu rivers and canals, and fields, land, and water are distributed in an interlaced manner, forming a three-dimensional terrain structure of "six fields, one water, and three parts of land", dry land planting mulberry, paddy fields planting grain, and lakes and ponds raising fish. The artificial landform is obvious and the characteristics of the water town are strong.

The only mountainous area is only one percent of the flat land, which can be almost ignored.

The small Japanese reconnaissance troops either enter in disguise or hide in ditches or lakes with reeds.

Therefore, Tang Dao divided four major defense zones according to the map he seized from the Sixth Division. Four infantry companies were responsible for setting up checkpoints with infantry squads as the line along simple paths.

Here, Tang Dao really expressed his gratitude to the Japanese spies who were responsible for surveying the terrain. They were really dedicated enough. From lakes to small streams, they were all shown on the map seized by Tang Dao. Otherwise, it would be a fantasy for a small infantry battalion to accurately deploy defenses in the rear of the defense line that was more than 20 kilometers wide.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from sending squadron-level troops to bypass the rear of the defense line, the defense points of each infantry squad could not be more than 300 meters apart. Three infantry platoons and nine infantry squads formed a chain position, and the infantry company headquarters carried the fire support platoon in this position with a width of 3,000 meters.

After that, each infantry squad will send out mobile sentries according to the geographical situation, mainly for observation. If they encounter suspicious persons, they will immediately fire to warn. The main force of the infantry squad can quickly provide support, and the company headquarters can immediately send the infantry squad directly under it to provide support after receiving the alarm.

With such a defense zone, plus the field of vision, the defense depth can reach several thousand meters unless it encounters a large-scale surprise attack by the Japanese army.

Of course, because the Jiaxing defense line cuts off the two main roads in Jiaxing, and after the independent battalion arrived, the command sent hundreds of troops to destroy the roads and small roads before the defense line. The Japanese army sent a large-scale force to make a detour without artillery support. Unless they have a brain bag, the consequence of annihilating an infantry company is likely to attract an infantry brigade or even an infantry division with artillery support.

It is basically destined that the main task of the four infantry companies is not to fight, but to check the passers-by.

Since the refugees had basically fled after the seven-day battle on the Jiashan front, the Jiaxing side was basically dominated by local villagers. There were people from Songjiang in each infantry squad. There might be some differences between Songjiang dialect and Jiaxing dialect, but it was much smaller than other regional dialects.

There was no need to wait until you got close to identify them. Anyone who pretended to be stupid and walked forward when they heard someone speaking in Songjiang dialect was 99% Japanese. The squad leaders could order them to shoot and kill according to the situation at the time.

Apart from the nearly ten-kilometer-deep defense zone that the four infantry companies were responsible for, the rest was of course the mobile anti-infiltration operations.

This may also be the first large-scale special operations on the Chinese battlefield. At this time, the Japanese army may have had the prototype of special operations, but it was limited to detours to the enemy's rear for sabotage or ambush. All the combatants were drawn from the infantry. Putting them on ordinary Chinese troops, their almost crude special operations method would play a certain role.

Unfortunately, the Japanese commanders who were repeatedly beaten did not know that they were facing the strongest Chinese special forces from the future 80 years later. The most terrifying thing about him was not the superhuman combat power that could fight ten people with one, nor the god sniper who could kill with one shot from hundreds of meters away, but the experience of the Chinese army in the Anti-Japanese War, the Ice Field War, the Highland War, and the Jungle War.

The Patriotic War was an agricultural country against an industrialized empire; on the ice field, it faced the American cowboys armed to the teeth; on the high ground, it faced the extreme environment of cold and lack of oxygen; in the jungle, there were mountains and ridges, poisonous insects and miasma, and Annan soldiers who were more flexible than monkeys;

That time, didn't the Chinese soldiers face danger? But they all won without exception.

Because they are tough enough, tenacious enough, and can learn from victory or failure.

In large-scale battles, Tang Dao is powerless, but facing this upcoming special operation, Tang Dao is a BUG for the Japanese, an unsolvable BUG.

There is no doubt that Tang Dao personally served as the supreme commander of this anti-infiltration operation and went to the front line in person.

Originally, according to his style, it would be better to act alone, but now he is the backbone of the independent battalion. Not to mention the worries of a group of company-level officers united around him, if ordinary officers and soldiers knew that their top commander was playing the game of single-handedly again, their morale would also fluctuate.

This has nothing to do with trust or distrust, but it is a matter of concern. They are almost all from the four troops. Tang Dao squeezed them together by himself. Without the extremely strong personal charm of Tang Dao, it would be good if his cohesion could still be half of what it is now.

Although Tang Dao knew this, time was tight and he had no time to change this shortcoming. He could only do so temporarily and make up for this fatal shortcoming later.

Tang Dao brought Erya and Xia Dayu with him. They might not be able to help too much, but at least they could tip off the enemy. The signal guns on their waists were not just for show.

The activity area of ​​​​Gu Xishui's special operations team was roughly arranged to be about a kilometer away from Tang Dao, which was considered as protection for their commander among the high-level officers of the independent battalion.

Regarding this, Tang Dao was of course well aware of it. He was not annoyed by being overprotected, but only felt a little warm.

It is always happy to be cared for and concerned by others, no matter who it is.

Such an important battle, Lieutenant Colonel Lei Xiong, the second combat force of the entire battalion, would certainly not miss it. He personally selected two people from the guard platoon to follow him.

The second deputy battalion commander Guo Shouzhi became the commander of the battalion headquarters. He also had a heavy burden on his shoulders. He was responsible for deploying the artillery company, fire support company and baggage company that were also on high alert. If the rear infantry company defense area sent a telegram for help, he needed to make a judgment immediately on how to support.

The guard platoon in the special agent company became the main force of this mobile operation. They were basically in groups of three, with each group about one kilometer apart, lurking in the wide wilderness.

If they encountered an enemy that they could not solve, the lurking three-person group would use the Kongming lanterns they carried to launch an early warning.

Lv Sanjiang's cavalry platoon became a mobile combat force, with five people in a group, providing follow-up support for the guard platoon responsible for lurking. With their horse speed, they could basically guarantee to reach the battlefield in ten minutes.

From this night, the wilderness with a depth of 20 kilometers behind the Jiaxing defense line will become a hunting ground.

But this time, the Japanese army will be the prey, and the Chinese soldiers who are ready will become the hunters...
