Yamashita Nakashu was hiding in front of the reinforced headquarters window, dumbfounded as he looked at the position that had been repeatedly ravaged by Chinese artillery fire.
Although it was almost impossible for anyone to send him any casualty report, the Japanese Army Lieutenant knew that after such two rounds of horrific attacks, there were really not many people left alive.
After all, not everyone is as lucky as him. Three mortar shells landed around the house and exploded without blowing down the reinforced walls. If possible, he would rather his luck was not so good.
Because, under the light of the flares and the smoke filling the sky, the Chinese are coming.
The bombardment had not completely stopped when the Japanese army lieutenant's field of vision, which had been dyed red by the artillery fire, appeared in shadows.
The black shadow surged over like a tide from the gap in the city wall that was 70 to 80 meters wide.
At least more than a hundred.
"Kill the cock!" Yamashita Nakashu, who woke up from his sluggish state, screamed at the top of his lungs, and rushed out of the headquarters with a 38-meter cap.
At this time, it is no longer a matter of loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, but a matter of life and death.
As long as the Chinese break through the front line, Yamashita Nakashu knows that everyone here, including him, will die.
Just as they rarely let go of Chinese soldiers on the battlefield, the victorious Chinese soldiers will also not let them go. After the Meihua Town Massacre was committed in Hebei Province, no less than five Chinese infantry divisions have openly declared that they will not let them go.
Then accept the surrender of the 108th Division from the division commander to the privates.
'Damn it! Those guys who take pleasure in slaughtering Chinese civilians are pigs who deserve to go to the slaughterhouse. They single-handedly pushed the imperial infantry warriors to death!' I'm afraid no one expected that Nakaki Yamashita was the person he hated the most at this moment.
It turned out to be his colleagues, not the Chinese soldiers who had already rushed over.
Perhaps the Japanese Army Lieutenant had forgotten that when the cowardly Chinese civilian was completely ignited with gasoline by his colleagues and was wailing and struggling in the deserted field, he once lit a cigarette leisurely and contentedly and watched with a smile.
That cruel scene reminded him of the scurrying field mice that were burned in the fields of his hometown!
But now, the 'vole' has turned into a tiger and wants to eat people.
On the Japanese position, the Japanese infantry who could respond to the desperate lieutenant were pitifully few compared to the more than 100 people before. Even twenty minutes ago, an infantry squad had been ordered to reinforce, and they had not had time to arrive.
First line position.
Scattered gunshots rang out from the Japanese positions. Only one of the three light machine guns originally placed on the front line was firing. The other two were probably smashed into scrap metal by stones or torn into pieces in the artillery fire.
However, this was enough to make the Japanese Army second lieutenant happy. At least, he had one more continuous firepower point that could suppress the opponent's infantry.
What made him even more relieved was that a ball of fire rose up on half of the city wall, and two Chinese soldiers were blown away!
The infantry cannon deployed at the south gate and hidden 400 meters away finally showed its power!
The Japanese troops on the ground are not completely destitute!
As the Japanese army counterattacked, artillery fire lit up the sky, and in the afterglow, a blue figure fell down. The Japanese army lieutenant also hid in a ruined wall and fired a shot while holding his breath.
Tens of meters away, he saw with his own eyes the figure who nimbly stepped over the roadblock and continuously dodged machine gun fire before staggering and falling under the muzzle of his own gun.
Knocking down a powerful enemy with one shot did not excite the Japanese Army Lieutenant because he did not actually kill the enemy.
His comrades reacted quickly and fired at this side with a rifle that could fire continuously. The fierce firepower made Yamashita Nakasuki turn over and dodge. There was no time to fire a second shot, and a Chinese who followed the infantry advanced.
The medical soldiers quickly dragged the wounded soldier who was shot in the chest and hid him behind the ruins of the wall, preventing another fatal bullet from coming.
"Damn it!" the Japanese Army Lieutenant roared angrily.
If he hadn't wasted nearly a second by pulling the bolt again, with his fifth-place shooting score in the sergeant academy, he would never have given his prey a chance to escape.
But the Chinese rifles that can shoot continuously completely killed the best rifles in the empire in terms of performance. They didn’t even give him this second!
However, Yamashita Nakaki didn't have much time to complain about the imperial military industry. If he hadn't been blessed with his hands and feet and rolled into a corner of the ruins of a house destroyed by artillery fire, five seconds later, he might have turned into a pile of rubble.
BBQ.
After the Chinese used a large amount of continuous firepower to approach the position, they did not use their daily long-handled German hand grenades first, but instead threw out a glass bottle that seemed sparse and ordinary!
However, that power is even more terrifying than a grenade that can tear a person into pieces!
Seven or eight glass bottles were thrown out and smashed onto the ruined position. Then, a blue flame broke out, burning the ruins into a sea of fire. Two Japanese soldiers who were hiding not far from Lieutenant Zhongshu at the foot of the mountain
The soldiers howled miserably and jumped out of the bunker, rolling on the ground desperately trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
But they were disappointed. No matter how they rolled, the flames on their bodies not only did not go out, but instead burned more and more intensely.
The two burning men rolled back and forth in the ruins, but the Chinese did not kill them. They allowed the two human-shaped candles, which screamed and rolled and finally died, to become brighter and brighter in the ruins.
The strange "sizzling" sound caused cold sweat to drip from the forehead of Zhongshu, who was only fifteen meters away at the foot of the mountain!
It was the sound of the human body oils that had been refined at high temperatures beginning to fully burn.
Of course he knew why the Chinese did not shoot and kill the two enemies with such obvious targets. It was because there was no need.
Or, in this night, they also need lighting!
Human body oils are actually good animal oils too!
The two colleagues who were not completely dead were old acquaintances of Yamashita Nakasuki. One was his signal corpsman and the other was the corps commander. Both of them were with him at the squadron headquarters and only escaped death in the terrible Chinese artillery fire.
Unexpectedly, after escaping the rain of masonry and shells, we were greeted by even more miserable incendiary bombs.
Facing the signal soldier who was burned into pitch black five meters away and looking at him with difficulty in opening his mouth, the Japanese Army Lieutenant knew that he wanted him to give him a shot to end this pain as soon as possible.
However, the Japanese Army Lieutenant did not dare and could only watch the signal soldier being burned to death in pain. He could only hide aside and watch silently.
It's not that he doesn't dare to kill, even if this signal soldier is still his fellow villager, sending him back to the embrace of Amaterasu without pain is something that can make him happy.
However, the Japanese second lieutenant knew better that if it hadn't been for these two scapegoats, the Chinese over there would not have let this place go, and might have thrown another row of Molotov cocktails into this area.
When the gun goes off, that's when he turns into a torch.
The Japanese Army Lieutenant, who had been extremely brave just now and even managed to achieve success with just one shot, faced the terrifying Molotov cocktail, and all his courage was stuffed back into his eyes.
If he could, he would even want to hide here for the rest of his life and never show up again, even if the fragrant "barbecue" smell came from his nose.
However, this wish is obviously extravagant.
Li Jijin's Seventh Company, who was responsible for the main attack on the south gate, had prepared a full 50 Molotov cocktails!
That was Li Jijin's only request to Leng Feng after he secured the opportunity to attack at the battle meeting five days ago.
In this battle, after entering the city wall area, there is an 80% chance of fighting the Japanese army on the street. Li Jijin, who is quick-thinking, recalled the fancy work of Tang Dao on the Sihang Warehouse battlefield, using gasoline and sulfuric acid.
And the Molotov cocktail trap made of white phosphorus burned the Japanese until they screamed. They were also used in Songjiang street battles, and the effect was so good that even the Type 94 armored vehicle was burned into a roast chicken!
The conditions of the Si Xing Group are much better now than at that time. When leaving Zhengzhou, the Si Xing Group also specially purchased some chemical raw materials such as sulfuric acid, rubber, white phosphorus, etc. in preparation for use. Isn't this just what they need!
The production of Molotov cocktails is not complicated. Of course Tang Dao will not refuse Li Jiujin's proposal. He originally purchased these chemical raw materials for Teacher Xiao He and others to use for experiments. He hopes to develop an incendiary bottle that can be fired in a mortar as soon as possible.
Bullets, but that is much more complicated than the design process of 'steel ball bullets' and cannot be completed overnight.

Then it can only be used in the most primitive way, using human power to throw it within a distance of 30 meters. However, this thing is a double-edged sword. If it is hit, it will become a torch. Even if it is rescued on the spot, it will cover a large area.
Burns, in this day and age, are basically impossible to survive.
Therefore, Tang Dao strictly stipulates that it can only be used when entering street fighting to besiege the enemy or when the firepower can completely suppress the opponent.
At this moment, this condition is basically met!
Thirty Molotov cocktails were thrown unstintingly at the ruins of the Japanese position, turning more than ten Japanese invaders into candles, and at the same time making the entire Japanese position clearly visible. At least there was no need to waste flares.
A wave of stones, a wave of artillery shells, and a wave of incendiary bombs caused more than 60% battle damage before the infantry launched the final charge. If it were an ordinary army, it would have collapsed long ago!
However, the Japanese army was unimaginably tough. Perhaps they also knew that what they did in Ji Province was unforgivable, and the remaining Japanese troops were still resisting.
The gunshots that kept coming from the ruins caused the Seventh Company, which was rushing from the gap in a three-and-three formation to enter the position to deliver a final brutal blow to the Japanese army. Seven companies fell down after crossing the distance of more than thirty meters.
people.
Perhaps the only thing that kept Li Jijin, the front-line commander, from scolding him was that the trajectory of the Japanese 38-gun missile was straight and long. If the distance exceeds fifty meters, the bullet will easily roll inside the body and cause greater trauma. At this distance, except for
Except for one person who died on the spot because he was directly hit in the vital part of the neck and could not be rescued in time, the other four suffered penetrating injuries, including the veteran sergeant who was accurately shot in the chest. They were only injured but did not lose their lives on the spot.
Two others were hit by a sneak attack from Japanese infantry artillery. They were blown away by the air wave and fainted on the spot. They suffered internal injuries that even doctors could not predict.
But overall, the initial casualties are still within an acceptable range.
"These little devils are really tough, but I, the Seventh Company, are the least afraid of toughness! Order the heavy machine guns of the support company to go up to the city wall area for me!" Lao Li, who was hiding behind the ruins of the city wall and holding a telescope, also hit the head with a command.
Next, all the heavy machine guns supporting the rear machine gun battery must be moved to the front line.
This is the rhythm of using heavy machine guns to fight the Japanese army with bayonets!
"Captain Li, you guys still have infantry artillery!" the platoon leader of the machine gun company responsible for supporting the seventh company reluctantly tried to dissuade him.
He could ignore the grenades that the Japanese army might still have, but when the infantry bombarded them, his heavy machine gun squad was no big deal, so they were casually sacrificed.
"Don't worry! Since I dare to put your heavy machine gun on the wall, I have a countermeasure to deal with his stupidity!" Li Jijin stared with two big eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw at least five flares shooting from the front line into the distant city. Parts of the originally dark southern city were illuminated white, and bursts of gunpowder smoke were rising from somewhere visible in the field of vision!
Because it is hidden in a residential area, it is almost impossible to use large-scale artillery to retaliate against it.
But in the alley on the flank, there was a group of soldiers with submachine guns running quickly!
Before the charge, Lao Li ordered an infantry squad equipped with MP28 submachine guns to be on standby. Originally, he planned for this infantry squad to stab the remaining Japanese soldiers in ruins from the flanks in the waist, but since
After the Japanese infantry artillery opened fire, he changed his attention.
The Seventh Company must kill this infantry artillery first. If they are lucky, they can also capture this artillery!
He had heard that after the Battle of Licheng, the Four Lines Regiment would expand its defense area like the 772 Regiment, which meant that the three infantry battalions would each be responsible for their own duties, such as this 70mm infantry with a total weight of less than 200 kilograms.
Artillery will become the first choice for infantry battalion-level fire support.
According to the rules of the Four Lines Regiment, only 50% of the captured materials are paid by the battalion to the regiment. This infantry cannon can be kept for personal use. The captured items can be counted as your own, and you can also ask for the allocated items from the regiment headquarters.
With this kind of firepower, the three battalions could resist a Japanese infantry brigade or even more without relying on artillery batteries.
Lao Li is definitely developing towards 'Li Yunlong'. Before the war, Xiao Jiujiu had already figured out how to develop himself.
Is this taking someone else's path and leaving them with nowhere to go?
Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang: Don’t steal my show!
But no matter what the little idea was, this move of "black tiger digging out the heart" was so ruthless that the Japanese troops on the south gate position had no time to take care of themselves. Even the frontal position was in danger, so they still had time to care about whether the Chinese could penetrate or not.
It didn't take five minutes. Under the guidance of free-of-charge flares, the sound of gunfire and explosions from the rear side of the position became fierce.
The Japanese artillery squad usually has fifty people, about the same number as an infantry squad. It usually concentrates on serving the two infantry cannons and the packhorses that transport the artillery bodies and shells. They stay mostly at the rear of the battlefield. The guns they are equipped with are the Southern Type 14.
Pistols and several Type 38 rifles.
The long-range attack power is okay, but at short range, to use Chinese vernacular saying: It is useless in peacetime, but it is useless in wartime!
What's more, they were attacked by an infantry squad equipped with submachine guns. Without emptying a magazine, this artillery squad of more than 20 people would be completely defeated.
Hearing the gunshots over there, the second lieutenant platoon leader of the machine gun company who was responsible for supporting the seventh company gave an order, and four heavy machine guns were mounted on the dilapidated city. Together with the nine light machine guns of the seventh company who had found fortifications, there were actually
More than 13 light and heavy machine guns began to fire at the Japanese positions.
A dozen light and heavy machine guns were placed on both sides of the Japanese position only a few dozen meters away to form a crossfire and fire wildly at every suspicious target. It was not particularly wasteful, but then six 82 mortars were brought up to target a group of
A single Japanese soldier fired two volleys of artillery, almost like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes, which was a bit too cruel.
The unlucky Japanese soldier was, of course, Lieutenant Nakaki Yamashita.
The powerful enemy he "killed" with one shot was a veteran sergeant, and he was also a veteran who had experienced the Battle of Matsue Cangcheng.
In Cangcheng, he survived the fierce attack of 150 Japanese heavy artillery pieces and two infantry brigades, but he almost died here.
Li Jijin looked at his old comrade who was as white as paper and was breathing rapidly, wondering if he would survive in the end. Why didn't he go crazy? He scolded the infantry squad who almost lost his squad leader on the battlefield until he couldn't even lift his head.
Do you think there are more than a dozen tough men who are still shameless and brave?
As soon as the infantry squad broke into the Japanese frontline position, they searched for Yamashita Nakashu. They would not stop until they found the enemy who shot their squad leader with a black gun.
Of course, the Japanese Army Lieutenant will not sit still and wait for death, he must escape!
But the dozen or so people from the infantry squad who finally found the punching bag let him go and chased after him.
Yamashita Nakaki, who was able to become the number one figure in the sergeant academy, had good individual soldier qualities. When the small universe exploded, he continuously evaded pursuit and even escaped to the second-line position. There were at least a dozen guns to help him block the pursuers.
However, the frantic Chinese soldiers marked his approximate hiding place with a Molotov cocktail. The six mortars that were mobilized, under the power of Lao Li, who had a blue vein on his forehead, pinched his nose and aimed at the target area in one breath.
Fired 12 rounds!
Even the solid fortifications were blasted into the sky by dense artillery shells, not to mention the human body? Lieutenant Nakasuki Yamashita's death was not painful at all, and he saved a box of money and turned directly into ashes. If this place becomes a flower bed in the future,
It will definitely be more colorful than other places.
Of course, Yamashita Nakaki's three-minute escape was just a small microcosm of the battlefield.
When the Seventh Company rushed into the position to encircle and suppress the remaining Japanese troops, the battle was actually over.
At least one-third of the Japanese Army's 38-year-old Gaihe officers and soldiers of the Seventh Company were semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and shell guns, which were used in close combat and were not as useful as holding a rolling pin.
At least, the rolling pin doesn’t have to worry about the bayonet getting stuck on the wall.
Often, the Japanese army's 1.7-meter-long Sanba Gaigai was smashed into pieces by the surging bullets before it was even lifted.
The Japanese troops at the south gate only held out for no more than 15 minutes before being destroyed.
The thorough one!
Regardless of the 108th or the 6th and 5th Divisions, any Japanese invaders who committed bloodshed on the Chinese battlefield will not accept any form of surrender!
