    ,

    In addition, since the second squad of each Chinese infantry platoon is equipped with two 60mm caliber platoon-affiliated mortars, each soldier of the second squad also carries two additional 60mm mortars in his backpack.  Mortar shells, which are also additional ammunition carried by the mortar sub-shooters and ammo operators in the squad.

    The M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle has a unique ammunition supply method. A steel leaky magazine containing a double row of 8 bullets is pressed into the magazine from the top of the receiver. When the last bullet is fired, the gun is empty and the magazine is hung up.  The clip ejector automatically pops out of the magazine and makes a sound to remind soldiers to reload the bullet."

    The original design of the Garand was that the magazine had two types of magazines: double-opening and single-opening. Later, the single-opening was abandoned by Wang Geng, and the leaky magazine with double-opening was always used, because the double-opening can be loaded into the magazine regardless of the top or bottom.  , while the single opening can only be loaded upward into the magazine.

    The base of each bullet is pressed against the rear wall of the leaky magazine, and the pull-out groove at the bottom of the cartridge case snaps into the inner ribs of the leaky clip. If the warhead of one bullet protrudes, other bullets cannot be loaded because the bullets in the magazine  Exposed, sometimes the bullets are not necessarily aligned with the double openings. In order to align the bullets with the openings, soldiers often tap the helmet a few times to align them when loading.

    Since the magazine often pops out with a ding after the last bullet is fired, it is difficult to reload the magazine once it is pressed into the magazine before the bullets are fired. However, in 1918  In this time and space, the 8-round semi-automatic M1 Garand rifle/mounted rifle is the most advanced rifle of this era regardless of firing speed, firepower, density, range and accuracy. "" See Beiyang 1917697

    Among the 10-man infantry squads of the 1st Company of the 1st Armored Battalion led by Fei Hongju, among the 3 10-man infantry squads who dismounted to fight, the 1st and 3rd squads have one squad leader and one deputy squad leader, and one machine gunner each for the squad leader and deputy squad.  , 2 snipers, 4 regular infantrymen, the whole squad is equipped with 1 Browning squad machine gun, an M1 Garand sniper rifle with a 4x optical sight, a short barrel M1 Garand semi-automatic mounted rifle, an M1911 Brown  Ning automatic pistol

    The difference between the platoon's 2nd squad and the 3rd squad is that the four regular infantrymen have become two two-person 60mm mortar teams, with two more 60mm platoon-affiliated mortars. Considering the mortar  Due to the limitation of the base number of shells carried by the gun, the mortar gunners and auxiliary gunners of Wang Geng's participating army are also equipped with an M1 Garand mounted rifle each, and can be used as infantry at any time.

    According to the order of Battalion Commander Tao Dayong, the 1st Armored Battalion and 1st Company should use one company of soldiers to ambush the opponent's cavalry battalion. The purpose is to delay the enemy's search troops and prevent the regiment's main position from being prematurely exposed. If the enemy is in full force,  After dispatching to pursue them, the 1st Armored Company would withdraw to the west to draw the enemy away and gain deployment time for the main force of the regiment to catch up. In fact, Tao Dayong did not consider buying time for the regiment commander Lu Huanyan. The 2nd Battalion of the Armored Regiment faced  The enemy is a Ukrainian main division or even two divisions. The opponent is really going to surge up from all over the mountains and plains. This battle will not be easy to fight.

    Since the 1:5 strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves was not taken seriously by Battalion Commander Tao Dayong, then the 1st Company Commander Fei Hongju did not take the enemy and ourselves too seriously. There was both the confidence of the Chinese main force and the confidence of the Chinese main force.  With a trace of contempt for the Soviet Red Army and Lao Maozi after the Battle of Ufa, the Ukrainian National Army is nothing. I heard that most of them are farmers and guerrillas. Fei Hongju has obviously forgotten that his own soldiers are not  It only took less than a year to join the army. The 16th Mixed Brigade of the Chinese Army in April last year has been diluted and expanded into nearly 30 integrated divisions and more than 1 million elite troops in just 15 months.

    Even though Li Mingzhong's reorganized 9th Division was the main force that was formed very early in the war, Fei Hongju, who used to be a student soldier in the 16th Mixed Brigade, is now the company commander, and his subordinates  The 1st Armored Company has less than one-third of the veterans with more than one year of military service. The remaining one-third have military service of half a year to nine months. The latest ones are those who joined the army at the end of March this year.

    The order given by Battalion Commander Tao Dayong to Commander Fei Hongju of the 1st Company was to open fire and beat the enemy hard, then lead the team to retreat to the west. After the enemies swarmed over and chased them, the Battalion Commander led the 3rd Platoon who was ambushing behind.  He attacked from the waist and dealt a fatal blow to the opponent. At that time, the sharp knife platoon led by Fei Hongju turned over and opened fire again. They attacked the opponent from two sides and devoured him!

    For the 1st Armored Company, which has 18 snipers to support the Browning squad machine gun, a 60mm caliber platoon mortar and a 7.62 caliber M1918A3 Browning air-cooled heavy machine gun, the power of dismounted combat is equally incomparable.  Look at it, not to mention that each soldier's grenade bag contains 4 Chinese G17 Melon grenades that can be thrown meters away by these soldiers?

    The troops are well-organized, have strong firepower, are confident and courageous to advance, and are nervous and excited. This is a true portrayal of the state and mood of the Chinese infantrymen who dismounted from the 1st Armored Company to fight.

    After understanding the combat intention of Battalion Commander Tao Dayong, Fei Hongju quickly made arrangements. The platoon leader led the platoon and the 1st Squadron to ambush in the southwest of Ganhegou, while he led the 3rd Squadron to the northeast and the 2nd Squadron to the northeast.  In the middle, the two 60mm platoon mortars of the 2nd squad built a temporary mortar 20 meters behind the position.Arranged on the ground, 6 snipers from 3 squads focus on taking care of the opponent's commander and machine gun firepower

    Fei Hongju considered that if the enemy was strong and capable, he would lead the entire platoon to cover the retreat to the west. If the enemy was too cowardly to be worse than the cavalry of the Soviet Red Army, he would let the platoon leader Shen Chu  He led the 1st squad to retreat to the west first, and he led the 3rd squad to make a half-crossing attack like a trick.

    Since the infantry of the Chinese participating armies, whether they are vehicle-mounted infantry of armored forces or ordinary infantry, each soldier is equipped with an engineering shovel, so the position of Fei Hongju's 1st platoon is a dry river ditch when viewed from the front, and it can be seen from the back  , with just a little effort, almost every fighting position in the river ditch was dug into a bunker for kneeling shooting, which further improved the reliability and concealment of the fortifications.

    When I saw through the telescope that the cavalry brigade that had descended to the west side of the roadbed was taking pictures of the dense formation and searching like a net within a 200-meter range, I looked at the people who were obviously a little staggering on horseback.  The Ukrainian cavalry was awake and exhausted. Fei Hongju almost smiled and twisted his mouth. Damn, this target is much harder to hit than the moving target shot during training at Nanyuan Recruit Camp.
