Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 683

Chapter 683 Important Characteristics of a Commander

Zhao Daqiang may not be as brave as his company mate, who must take the lead in every battle, but there may be one thing that the platoons under his command cannot match.

Having served as the commander of the first division's security squad for a long time, he has developed meticulous observation skills and can make decisions in the shortest possible time based on the observed changes in the situation.

This is the most basic quality possessed by a super guard, and it is also one of the reasons why Tang Dao finally chose him.

The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. A commander who can issue orders decisively under complicated battle conditions may not be the best, but he will never be far behind. Compared to being brave without fear of life and death, Tang Dao is more willing to Try such a low-level commander who needs to command more than a hundred officers and soldiers.

Every decision he made was related to the lives of hundreds of officers and soldiers.

Zhao Daqiang did not disappoint Tang Dao. It was through careful observation that he discovered the artillery shell boxes and bullet boxes exposed in the gaps in the rainproof cloth. He immediately readjusted the battle plan according to the location of the Japanese army's baggage train, leaving the area where the baggage train was located and targeting Japanese infantry carried out key strikes.

Now, after a brief discussion with his subordinates, he stopped talking and kept patrolling the mountain road area where the cart was parked with a telescope.

His eyes gradually came to rest on a Japanese soldier wearing a steel helmet behind a large vehicle.

Although this Japanese soldier did not have a command knife, white gloves, or long military boots, the Japanese soldier hiding behind the car and occasionally exposed to the field of telescope had a pistol case hanging sideways, which was proof of identity.

The power of the short gun on the field battlefield is almost non-existent. It is basically a decoration, but it is definitely a status symbol.

Looking at all the armies in the world, I am afraid that the independent battalion is the only one that equips artillery and machine gunners with pistols, but the colonel and battalion commander always carry a long gun to the battlefield. His company commanders and platoon commanders also follow suit. , either a long gun, a submachine gun or a shell gun.

That is actually because Tang Dao, who was born in the special forces, has a different tactical philosophy. In the special brigade to which he belongs, from the captain to the ordinary special forces, everyone is a warrior.

As for the Japanese army, in addition to officers above second lieutenant level who can be issued pistols, senior non-commissioned officers and some special units can also wear pistols.

But this 'Chang Cao' is obviously something special. Zhao Daqiang can basically tell from the fact that most of the remaining Japanese soldiers are looking in the direction of this Japanese soldier, that this Japanese soldier should be the commander of this remaining Japanese army, at least. Also a second lieutenant.

If it is really this person, this person is quite a difficult opponent.

They did not insist on the so-called honor of the Imperial Japanese Army and carried it to death on the "hot" slope. After the evacuation, they did not immediately hide in the stone mountain reserved for them to hide. Instead, they risked their lives and hid in the baggage truck. later.

Obviously, he must have seen that his opponent wanted to seize this batch of baggage and wanted to use it as a life-saving amulet.

"Have the third platoon responsible for intercepting the Japanese troops returned to their positions?" Zhao Daqiang put down the telescope in his hand and asked deputy company commander Zhou Shubin in a deep voice.

“Two minutes ago, they sent word that everyone was in place.” Zhou Shubin nodded, but there was a trace of worry on his face. "Company Commander, if you continue to wait like this, if the little devil can slow down, we may have to pay a greater price!"

It is normal for Zhou Shubin to have this worry. The so-called beating of a drowned dog means that he should continue to beat his opponent while he is dizzy from a heavy punch. Once he is given time to breathe and maybe regain some fighting strength, he will pay the price. greater cost.

Previously, he told the second platoon leader, "Daochang Jiang", that there was no rush. That was because he hoped to use mortars to deal with the opponent. The Japanese army's baggage trucks could block bullets, but they had no defense against artillery shells. To deal with this part of the Japanese army, it was not possible. It only costs a dozen cannonballs.

But now Zhao Daqiang's intention is obvious. He wants to take care of people and things, which is a bit too difficult.

“Lianying Lieutenant, look at the current performance of the Japanese, they obviously think so too.” Zhao Daqiang calmly shook his head. "And this is what I want. Otherwise, they might just jump over the wall and jump into the ditch without caring. If there are only a few survivors, then even if we kill most of the Japanese and seize the supplies, we won't be able to survive." We have not completed the tasks assigned to us by our superiors.”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Shubin's relatively fair face turned red.

He understood what Zhao Daqiang meant. If the Japanese were not left with a little way to survive, then the Japanese would really have to fight for their lives. When a rabbit encounters an eagle, it can do a rabbit-kick-and-kick-off thing. What does it mean to jump into a ditch more than ten meters deep? What if I didn't break my leg and run a few times?

To completely wipe out these Japanese troops is the real tactical goal of this ambush war.

"However, Lieutenant Commander, you are right to think about it. The little devils are always acting like cowards. It's not a problem for us to just wait and see. There is a saying that the nights are long and the dreams are many. We still have to let them stick their heads out and let us take the initiative. Just chop it up with a knife." Zhao Daqiang has been following Liu Yuqing for a long time, and he knows a lot about the way of serving.

Although he refuted the views of his brave company commander, it still gave him enough face. "Company Commander, what do you mean?" Second Platoon Commander Jiang Daochang's face showed urgency again. That means, boss, just say it! Stop being so pretentious.

"What I mean is that we have given them enough time. We have observed the battlefield situation and are breathing well now. It is time to let the little devils hiding behind the baggage truck know that they are wrong. "We don't care so much about the so-called baggage. What they think are precious shells and bullets are nothing to us." A sneer appeared on Zhao Daqiang's lips. "If they want to jump into the ditch now, even if they are lucky enough not to break their legs, they won't be able to escape."

The three platoon leaders suddenly realized that before the battle was over, the three infantry squads of the third platoon were running wildly and circuitously under Zhao Daqiang's order. Their courage could not only block the mountain road, but also block the deep ditch on the side.

Leaving the baggage trains to give the Japanese troops a chance to breathe was a trap from the beginning, a trap that prevented the Japanese troops from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Zhao Daqiang then ordered: "Fire support platoon, prepare for rapid fire with four rounds of artillery. The kid who shot the sixteenth cart for me, remember, don't shoot too accurately for me. Stay ten meters away from him, or hit him." It's fine in the deep ditch next to him. If he is killed in one blow, I'm afraid there won't be any more clever devils."

“Okay, company commander, just take a look!” The fire support platoon leader nodded confidently.

Following his order, the two mortar operators in the fire platoon who had moved the mortars here nervously adjusted the muzzles, and the observers even made gestures for a long time to ensure that the shells would not hit the target. The cart and the Japanese behind it were blown to pieces.

It is easy to miss the target with cannonballs, but it is difficult to scare people near the target without killing them.

This is just like a man and a woman, the man wants to swear that he will never go in if he only touches it.

"Boom, boom, boom", four consecutive artillery shells exploded seven or eight meters away from Captain Ozawa Riso.

Two of them landed in a deep ditch five meters wide, and the muffled explosion made people hair-raising. One landed on a stone mountain eight or nine meters away from the cart. There was a burst of smoke and a painful howl. The sound means that the Japanese infantry hiding inside are in trouble.

Stone Mountain can withstand bullets, but for mortar shells that fall from the sky and attack with almost no blind spots, it is simply a force. They cannot resist and can only passively enjoy it.

What really frightened the Japanese captain was a shell that exploded directly on the mountain road eight meters away from him.

In fact, Ozawa Risheng, who had been lying down to hide from the first gunshot, was not hit by the air waves and shrapnel, and it did not matter that the heavy baggage truck that provided him with cover was shaken by the air waves.

As the captain of the infantry squadron responsible for protecting the baggage train along the way, he knew very well what was contained in the big car of the baggage train. This car was a baggage car he specially selected containing canned beef and fish.

There are not canned beef to eat, but full iron cans that can withstand bullets, and you don't have to worry about the ammunition exploding.

Ozawa Risaeng is so smart!

But, the baggage truck 30 meters away from him cannot do it! It was full of infantry artillery shells, at least a hundred rounds.

Once that thing explodes, there will be no one alive in this area.

“You bitch, you scared me a lot, Wu Dachui, tell your gang of **** to keep firing farther away from that pile of square cars.”

Not to mention the fact that Captain Ozawa Risheng, whose hair stood on end after being hit by several shells, was frightened, even a brave and desperate man like Zhou Shubin couldn't help but turn pale at this moment.

The large vehicle that was shaken by the air waves and shook several times in succession was not the artillery transport vehicle that Zhao Daqiang had keenly observed before?

The job of picking millet from the fire is really too dangerous!

Compared to the pale-faced officers, the two artillery squadrons did not take them seriously. Without three or three, they would dare to go to Liangshan.

Several veteran gunners were trained in Songjiang City with hundreds of rounds of artillery shells. However, with a range of more than 300 meters, regardless of where they were pointed, it was still no problem to ensure that the accuracy was within 5 meters.

This, perhaps, is the legendary barrier between arms!
