In addition to water, there is also mud in the moat.
silt!
The dredging of the moat is definitely a big project, especially for Songjiang City, which is extremely dependent on the water system. Dredging will not only waste people and money, but more importantly, the transportation of goods inside and outside the city will be interrupted. There are only two or three dredgings recorded in modern history.
That's all.
Years of accumulated silt caused Wang Gongyu, who took office four or five years ago, a headache. He just couldn't make up his mind to close the water channel and completely dredge the moat until the war came.
Facts have proved that Wanggongyu has its own "lazy politics" to thank.
The moat, which has been filled with a lot of water, is no longer deep. The deep part is no more than a person's thigh. The shallow part can even submerge a person's knee. Otherwise, the Japanese infantry would not even wait for the engineers to follow their big brother.
Jump into the moat.
But when we went down, we found that the mud was more than a foot deep, and the small amount of water reached a person's waist. This was not an ordinary fatal situation for the Japanese soldiers who had short legs.
The silt is not life-threatening, but this is a battlefield! You are not that agile in the water, and with such a layer of silt, if the Chinese shot at this time, would you still be alive?
However, there is an old saying in China that says: Come and come!
Yes! We have already reached this point, and we are only thirty meters away from the Chinese city wall. If we try harder, we will be able to break into the Chinese position and achieve unparalleled feats...
More importantly, the division commander is still watching us from behind!
Sometimes, chicken soup full of positive energy is really deadly poison. Just like the current Japanese army, even though their feet and hearts are weak at the same time, they have to bite the bullet and drink up this bowl of thick chicken soup.
The Chinese are so lazy that they don’t even know the mud. You have to know how much food this fertile river mud can produce if it is made into farmland! Damn it! Damn it! Shenwuxi Daliang, who was born in a farmer’s family, has already been thinking about it for a long time.
Various MMPs.
I kept cursing damn in my heart, not sure whether I was cursing the Chinese opposite or my own future.
Anyway, the Japanese major, who was trudging forward in the river bed with one foot deep and one foot shallow, felt extremely guilty at the moment. His scalp was so hard that it almost caught up with the 90 steel helmet.
But the Chinese are very considerate. How long has it been? There are still just a few heavy machine guns firing desperately.
The heavy machine guns were all in the fortress, and their firing angles were limited. The Japanese infantry had avoided the attack range of these heavy machine guns as early as 300 meters away. The six infantry guns mobilized by the regiment also fired wildly at these exposed fire points.
Even if the 70-caliber infantry cannon cannot penetrate the thick city wall and destroy those heavy machine guns, suppression can still be achieved.
The thick smoke and splashing shrapnel made the Chinese heavy machine guns almost ineffective.
Looking at the battle line of several hundred meters, apart from a large number of Japanese infantrymen marching hard on the river bed, there were not many lying in the water.
Have the Chinese been almost wiped out by the empire's heavy artillery, and are there still a few lingering among the ruins?
The Japanese major, who was in a state of confusion, could only think the best about this slightly strange phenomenon.
In fact, the Chinese defenders in the east city did suffer heavy losses in the Japanese heavy artillery bombardment. Almost 80% of the fortifications built on the city wall, which had been built with a lot of manpower and material resources, were damaged. The most terrible thing was that the trenches close to the city wall were all destroyed by heavy artillery.
Destroyed the old section.
The terrifying 240MM heavy artillery cut the more than 400-meter-long troop transport trench into at least three sections, more than fifty meters of which collapsed directly, completely losing its protective effect on the infantry.
This resulted in that when the Japanese artillery fire began to spread, the main infantry force of the 643rd Regiment of the 67th Army in the Dongcheng District Air Raid Shelter could only stay 200 meters away from the city wall, watching helplessly as the artillery fire raged, but they were unable to rush into the death zone constructed by the artillery fire and enter the main position of the city wall.
This caused the Japanese troops to jump into the moat from the main position of the city wall, and no infantry support had yet reached the city wall.
Judging from the actual battle situation, all of Tani Hisao's tactics have been successful so far.
On the Dongcheng position at this time, of the original six firepower points, two of them disappeared because the Japanese heavy artillery destroyed the city wall, and only four firepower points were still alive.
However, what makes the Chinese front-line defenders fortunate is that all four firepower points are heavy firepower points. Three 37mm rapid-fire cannons, two Oerlikon machine guns and four heavy machine guns are still alive, which means that in terms of heavy firepower, there are still
Seventy percent retained.
However, heavy firepower such as rapid-fire cannons and Oerlikon machine guns were originally used to attack Japanese tanks. It was a waste to use them to attack Japanese infantry. Moreover, the Japanese infantry were very cunning. In the first wave, more than 300 people were deployed in Changchun.
Spread out on a front line of 800 meters, the distance is extremely large. Even if you use machine guns to fire, the effect will definitely not be good.
The only heavy machine gun that can suppress infantry is also very ineffective due to the suppression of the range of fire and Japanese infantry artillery.
The defenders who lacked sufficient strength could only watch as the Japanese infantry rushed from hundreds of meters away to the edge of the nearby moat, then jumped into the moat and attacked the position.
Mo Songzi, who had already achieved a victory, had red eyes and was about to pull the trigger to empty his last two bullets at the Japanese army in the river.
100 rounds of artillery shells are a day's ammunition reserve for each Oerlikon machine gun. The ammunition reserves of the 67th Army that came from afar are limited and cannot be squandered by the shooters.
Previously, he spent 60 rounds of artillery shells to shoot down a bumpkin balloon. It was purely due to the huge psychological pressure that Mo Songzi did it with the thought of having a backstop even if he died, but now he regretted it.
If I had known earlier, I would have saved more to fight these crazy infantrymen.
But the next moment, Mo Songzi was so stunned that he even forgot to pull the trigger.
What did he see?
1,000 meters away, the Japanese major general who was lamenting the awesomeness of the Sixth Division was also dumbfounded.
There are no residential buildings outside Dongcheng District, and there is a wilderness outside the city wall. The location chosen by the Sixth Division's frontline headquarters also has a good view, allowing the bosses to have an almost unobstructed view of the battlefield.
Ever since he heard the name of the heroic major, Shenwu Yutaro, Tanabe Moritake, who has a bit of literary and artistic flair in his heart, has paid attention to the Japanese major who led the charge. Apart from the fact that his name is a bit low, this surname is really nice.
ah!
Until the major took the lead and jumped into the cold moat, the Japanese major with the surname Shen Wuxi did not let him down.
However, when we arrived at the center of the river bed, Shen Wu Xi disappeared, and LOW Bi Da Leng also disappeared.
Because, a certain Major disappeared directly from the river, leaving only a string of water bubbles.
A ninja's water escape? Tanabe Moritake, whose eyes had been chasing the Japanese Army Major, was stunned.
Water escapes a ball.
The next moment, the Japanese major's little hand rose from the water, waving it desperately, and the command knife disappeared. Tanabe Moritake understood instantly.
This Baga must have drowned!
In fact, strictly speaking, it is not drowning, but entering a swamp by mistake.
The mud in the center of the river is actually one meter deep, reaching up to a person's waist. It's not a big deal at ordinary times. The water depth can reach nearly two meters. People even swim when they get into the river. Who is still stepping on the mud underwater?
But now, the water depth will never exceed one meter. The Japanese army naturally and instinctively moves through the water. Who has nothing to do with dog-pawing in waist-deep water?
In addition, the Japanese army was fully armed. Even if the Japanese major had a Southern Fourteen and a command knife, the wet military boots alone would probably weigh seven or eight kilograms. They are usually well-nourished.
The whole body weighs 150 or 60 kilograms combined?
With a heavy body and a will as strong as fine steel, it is impossible to step on the soft mud to the bottom!
Of course, the more important thing is that the legs are short.
The average height is only close to 1.6 meters, which is really not enough to stand out in such a 'swamp' land.
Shenwuxi Daliang stepped into the mud one meter deep and was immediately submerged by the water less than one meter deep. He quickly threw away the command knife and waved his little hands to ask for help. This was because of his extremely quick thinking to avoid scratching the command knife and coming to rescue him.
's subordinates.
Perhaps, he is also afraid that no one will come to save him while waving the knife!
However, he is definitely not the only one who has experienced something like this.
The boss, Major, is so brave. How can the younger brother shrink back? There were at least seventy or eighty people who entered the center of the moat first.
Kumamoto Prefecture is mostly mountainous, but the Japanese island is just that big. Naturally, it is also close to the sea, and there are many people who know how to use water. It can be trapped by mud, but it has nothing to do with whether it is water-based or not.
So, while many people went to rescue Major Da Lin who needed to take medicine, more people moved forward bravely to rescue their drowning companions.
A drowning person has to hold on to even a straw, let alone a human being. And when the sky is dark after drinking water, who cares who comes to save him? Even his biological father has to hold on to him.
.
Yes, drag me to death!
There was chaos on the river.
The rescuer and the rescued drank water together, as if if they didn't drink the Songjiang moat dry to pave the way for a great victory, I would not be the most handsome boy in the Sixth Division.
At this moment, the anxious Chinese and the smug Japanese were collectively shocked by the extremely poor performance of the Japanese infantry in the moat.
