Chapter 210: Information from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, 1 Tank Car
After the winter, the weather outside the Great Wall was extremely bad and not suitable for large-scale troop movements.
Even with the cooperation of local people, Ding Wei did not want to overly undermine the morale of the soldiers.
It was decided to adopt the method of small-scale infiltration and encroachment, with the special operations battalion and advance regiment as the leader, and the reconnaissance units of the column and detachment as the auxiliary, to knock out some important strongholds of the Japanese army.
Threaten railway lines, bridges, and roads, and further control the mountainous area west of the Jingfeng Railway.
Forcing the Kwantung Army to increase its garrison troops.
War is not just about charging forward. Other means can be used to continuously weaken the enemy's military strength.
Maintain a direct confrontation and use special forces to expand the results of the battle.
At the same time, Gao Qing was ordered to reorganize the guerrillas in Rehe and advance into the mountains and forests of Greater Khingan Range in the north.
Especially in Linxi County and Balin Left and Right Banners, bandits were rampant and there were many Japanese and puppet troops.
It can threaten the logistics troops, clean up these small fry, and take down the fortifications built by the Japanese.
Kong Yong's advance team quickly approached the Jianchang and Suizhou lines and engaged in a firefight with puppet troops and Japanese troops.
The newly equipped semi-automatic rifles greatly enhanced the firepower of the troops.
During the exchange of fire between the two sides, the Japanese suffered casualties.
In the case of dense firing, a semi-automatic rifle is similar to a light machine gun that fires in bursts, with continuous firing and clear and pleasant sounding gunshots.
Especially when the bullets penetrated the helmets, waves of pleasure came.
It is intentional to maintain the troop strength at the company and platoon level to give full play to the firepower advantage in close combat.
Once too many troops are deployed, or weapons such as mortars are brought in, there will be a huge demand for logistics.
A pair of iron shoes, a rifle, a grenade launcher, and the bullets and grenades carried by the infantry are enough to deal with the Japanese squadron-level forces.
If you can win, fight. If you can’t, temporarily retreat to the mountains.
This made the Japanese army very angry. They arranged a heavy force to sweep Yanshan? The two columns of troops were pressed here, with at least 2 combat troops. How many people would the devils have to deploy to carry out the sweep?
There are glaring and tragic examples right there: the 108th Division was destroyed, the 64th Regiment was destroyed.
The Chinese army under Ding Wei has the strength to defeat any isolated troops that go deep into the enemy's territory. Even if the Emperor's Imperial Guard Division comes, they will not be able to gain an advantage.
But if we don't carry out raids, we will be passively attacked every day and attacked by snipers, which will be very uncomfortable.
The Kwantung Army had to dispatch a group of precision shooters to deal with the current passive sniping situation.
There are very few dedicated snipers in the Japanese army. They firmly believe that their infantry's shooting accuracy is enough to deal with any shooting situation, and there is no need for snipers at all.
It is believed that snipers need more sophisticated equipment and more bullets and other resources, and the benefits do not outweigh the costs.
Wouldn't it be more effective to assign people who are good at shooting to be machine gunners?
Their well-trained soldiers can generally guarantee to hit the target within a march of 200 meters and to hit the target in a prone position within a march of 300 meters.
The Japanese were always victorious in previous battles, and the saying that the Japanese were very accurate in shooting came from this.
At this moment, the problem lies here. At a distance of 300 meters, relying on machine sights and rear sights, you can ensure that most bullets hit the target, but you cannot guarantee that every shot will hit the target.
The Type 4 rifle has natural quality problems and its accuracy is only about 300 MOA, which makes its bullet dispersion range 30 cm at meters.
It is impossible to guarantee that every shot will hit the vital point.
On the other hand, the veterans under Ding Wei's command have excellent shooting accuracy.
All of them are equipped with sniper rifles with scopes, and their performance is definitely better than that of the Japanese at a range of 300-500 meters.
At least in terms of hit probability, it is far greater than that of the Japanese veterans.
In addition, how many veterans are there in the Kwantung Army?
Some were transferred out, some were evacuated, some died and some were injured.
In the head-on battle, the Japanese casualties continued to increase.
A group of talented snipers, led by Zhao Dayi, can hit the target by feeling when their hands get better.
These are the talents that Ding Wei focuses on training.
Spare no expense and do not skimp on ammunition training.
During the sniper incident, his performance was exceptionally outstanding.
Zhao Dayi alone killed 37 Japanese soldiers in one day.
The angry Japanese had to send out planes to carry out a round of indiscriminate bombing on the target area in order to drive back the snipers who were everywhere and at all times.
It was like cutting my butt with a knife. It really opened my eyes.
Why do Ding Wei have so many difficult and valuable things in his hands?
We have tanks and snipers.
Even the Japanese did not have the energy and resources to train a large number of snipers, but in the Suirecha Military Region, they actually pulled out a large number of sharpshooters.
There's nothing we can do about it. Sharpshooters are all born out of poverty.
You only have so few bullets. You have 10 bullets. If you fail to hit an enemy, you're done for. It depends on whether the commanders or soldiers will scold you.
Either practice your shooting skills hard, or aim before shooting.
Anyone who dares to waste bullets will be stabbed in the back.
The soldiers and civilians who fought in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression emerged step by step under extremely poor conditions and paid the price with blood.
The sharpshooter is just an old soldier who has walked out of the blood.
Those who are not good at shooting would have died on the battlefield long ago.
"Old Ding, confidential information from the Kwantung Army Headquarters."
Zhong Zhicheng strode into the house, looking slightly excited.
Kwantung Army Headquarters?
Have all our undercover personnel gotten in?
This is an absolute secret. Even Zhong Zhicheng, the political commissar of the military region, only knows a little bit, that the information comes from the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
We don’t know anything else, including who the undercover personnel are, where they are, how long they have been hiding, etc.
One thing is certain, the intelligence is accurate.
In order to prepare for Operation No. 150, the Kwantung Army will draw troops into the North China region, and the food and fodder will be sent before the troops move. It is planned to draw tanks from the Kwantung Army to support the rd Tank Division in North China.
Used to launch assaults on central Henan.
The expected vehicle batches and transportation times were obtained by our undercover intelligence personnel.
They thought the lurker had failed, but the sudden telegram news excited the headquarters. It was not only about the importance of the intelligence, but more about the success of the lurker.
We can take the opportunity to send more capable comrades to the enemy's rear to obtain more intelligence about Manchuria.
Develop strength secretly.
Almost two tank regiments' worth of weapons and equipment were transported by train to North China.
It will inevitably pass through the Jingfeng Railway. Ding Wei realized the value of this information and couldn't help but smile.
"They know that my armored forces have high consumption and cannot produce tanks on their own. They all rely on repairs and support from Brother Mao. The Japanese can't stand it and want to send me, Ding Wei, a batch of tanks."
"No matter what, this train has been hijacked and the Japanese tanks must be seized."
"Notify Duan Peng and Kong Yong at the front, at all costs!"
This is extremely important information.
The only piece of information that made Ding Wei slightly excited was that the winter was too harsh and traffic was blocked.
Brother Mao’s tank production line is still a long way off. It is conservatively estimated that it will be completed in July or August next year. By the time the first tank is produced, the Japanese may have surrendered.
It is too late to wait for self-production; we have to rely on seizures, purchases, and bridge bombings.
