Chapter 201 Silly, I won't fight with you with a bayonet
"Boooooooo...boom, boom, boom..." The artillery shells whizzed down and accurately hit the Japanese artillery position.
The fireball rising into the sky looked particularly dazzling under the darkness of night, almost lighting up half of the sky, and the Japanese artillery positions were clearly displayed in front of Kong Jie's eyes.
"Captain, it's a hit... the first artillery hit hit, and all the shells fired hit the Japanese artillery position!" Li Wensheng said incoherently as his hands holding the binoculars began to tremble with excitement.
"Every gunner has fired dozens or hundreds of shells in the past two days. No matter how unfamiliar the gunner is, he can become an expert!" Kong Jie said matter-of-factly.
"Inform Chen Daliang: Let him fire to his heart's content, don't hold back the ropes, and shoot out all the shells we brought. If you can use the shells to destroy the enemy, use the shells to destroy them!"
"There are three mortar squadrons around Xingling. Each artillery squadron captured six to seven hundred artillery shells, which adds up to more than two thousand shells, which is enough for our subsequent battles.
When Kong Jie's order came to the artillery position, Chen Daliang was even happier than eating honey. He shouted at the top of his lungs on the spot: "Comrades, the regiment leader asked us to fire as much as we want tonight, and the supply of artillery shells is unlimited..."
"Everyone must seize the opportunity to practice their artillery skills... and strive to make everyone a master artilleryman!"
The overall combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army artillery is far lower than that of the Little Japanese.
It was not that the gunners' qualifications were poor, but that the Eighth Route Army did not have enough artillery shells for the gunners to train.
Sharpshooters, like sharpshooters, are fed with ammunition. The Eighth Route Army obviously does not have such conditions.
Although the battle in front of us is about fighting the Japanese with live ammunition, it is also the best time to train gunners.
First get the feel, and then fine-tune the shooting members according to the impact point... Get to know the mortar in your hand step by step...
Only by thoroughly familiarizing yourself with your mortar and integrating it into your bones can you hit wherever you point it.
Chen Daliang didn't need to remind him that the gunners who participated in the war knew how rare the opportunity was.
If you miss it, you may not have the opportunity to fire artillery shells regardless of consumption in the next two years like now...
Each gunner fired every shell carefully, and constantly adjusted the artillery firing crews according to the impact point direction provided by the observation post, trying to smash all the shells into the Japanese artillery position as much as possible.
The sudden artillery attack shocked Ikuchi Shaozuo and Hirosue Shaozuo, but they still did not realize that the Eighth Route Army wanted to annihilate them, and felt that the Independent Regiment just wanted to break out from their side.
While ordering the artillery troops to move their positions and retain as many artillery pieces as possible, they also strictly ordered the troops to strengthen their defense lines, defend their positions, and block the breakout troops of the independent regiment at all costs.
Two squadrons were specially selected as reserves for this purpose.
After the independent group's breakout begins, they will definitely choose a point to rush into, fight hard, and tear an opening.
With the reserves of two squadrons in hand, they can send troops to reinforce the battlefield at any time, plug the gaps, and consume more independent regiment troops through blocking battles, creating conditions for the subsequent annihilation battle.
The two people had very good ideas, but the independent group did not follow their ideas.
After firing more than 200 shells at each of the two artillery positions, more than 20 mortars immediately moved their shooting targets and aimed at the hastily built defense lines of the Japanese army.
"Thirty shells for each gun, fire immediately..." Chen Daliang continued the order with full of expectation.
"Everything..."
The sound of artillery shells being pushed out of the barrel soon sounded in the artillery position, and Chen Daliang raised his binoculars to look at the battlefield.
The fireball rising into the sky at the foot of the mountain was very dazzling. Many unlucky Japanese soldiers were blown away in the splashing fire!
The damage caused by mortars to the fortifications was very limited, but the blocking positions hastily built by the Japanese were too crude...
Apart from some sandbags, there were not even reinforced logs.
A shell hit the bunker, and the bunker piled with sandbags was instantly blown over. Another sandbag was blown to pieces, and soil was splashed everywhere...
"The Japs are all concentrated on the battlefield, and they will kill a large area with one accurate shot... Let's try to kill half of the Japs with more than 600 shells... Beat them all hard!" Chen Daliang became more and more excited as he watched.
Order in a low voice.
The four main battalions left the Xingling Highlands at the same time and slowly approached the Japanese defense line under the cover of artillery fire.
The heavy machine gun was set up in the best shooting position on the Xingling Highlands. As soon as the artillery fire stopped, bullets were used to suppress the surviving Japs on the battlefield.
Light machine guns accompany the team in the attack.
Join the platoon leaders holding submachine guns as the first echelon of the attack...
As soon as the shelling stopped, they opened fire on the Japanese blocking positions, using the strongest firepower to blind the remaining Japs on the battlefield, suppressing them, and creating opportunities for infantry assaults.
As long as the riflemen from both sides fight together, Kong Jie is confident that he can rely on his superior strength and close combat firepower to quickly defeat all the remaining Japanese on the battlefield.
"Hirosue-kun, something seems to be wrong with the situation?" Ikuchi Shaozuo was always paying attention to every move on the battlefield. The more he saw something was wrong, he couldn't help but remind Hirosue Shaozuo.
"If the independent regiment plans to break out from us, the artillery fire will definitely focus on the breakout point to weaken the defensive force of the breakout point as much as possible. But their artillery fire never has a precise target, and they will bomb randomly at our blocking position..."
"This is not like a breakout at all, but a bit like a full-scale counterattack!"
"I feel the same way!" Hirosue Shaozuo replied solemnly?
He opened his eyes wide, trying to see something more from the battlefield, but the artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army was too strong. The blocking position was already bombarded by artillery fire, and he couldn't see anything.
A cannon fires thirty shells, which sounds like a lot, but a mortar fires very fast, and it can take at most four minutes to shoot out all these shells.
Just when Ingkou Shaozuo wanted to say something more, the artillery fire on the battlefield stopped. Just when he felt that his ears could finally be clear for a while, the intensive sound of light and heavy machine gun fire suddenly sounded on the battlefield.
Although Hirosue Shaozuo did not visit the position in person, he could still feel through the sound of gunfire how dense the bullets fired by the independent regiment were.
that's the truth!
The dense bullets created an airtight fire network on the surface of the position.
After the bombardment ended, many little Japs in the trap subconsciously raised their heads, wanting to take a look around...
As soon as I raised my head, I was hit by a bullet...
A bloody hole was made in the head of a Japanese soldier, and half of a Japanese soldier's head was cut off... It was both bloody and tragic...
These sudden accidents frightened the other little devils and quickly retracted their heads. No matter how much their superiors ordered them to fight back, they did not dare to raise their heads again.
"Comrades, go ahead...annihilate all the little devils...kill them all with me..."
More than a dozen company commanders and instructors got up from the ground at the same time, raised their box cannons and rushed towards the Japanese positions.
"Dudu...dududu..."
The loud sound of the charge horn sounded on the battlefield at the same time. More than two thousand soldiers emerged from the night and surged towards the blocking position like a wave. The speed was very fast, like more than a dozen sharp arrows, unstoppable.
Guangmo Shaozuo was stunned, his face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted out loud: "Baga, we have been fooled!"
"Mr. Shengguchi, the Eighth Route Army on the highlands wants to annihilate us all here... They have no intention of breaking out..."
"The distance between the two sides is too close, and they also have the firepower advantage... Our remaining troops will definitely not be able to stop them!"
"Fighting the independent regiment in hand-to-hand bayonet combat!" Ikou Shaozuo also reacted from his suspicion just now.
Facing the soldiers of the independent regiment who were getting closer and closer, they could only answer with a look of despair.
After finishing speaking, I did not forget to comfort myself: "Our bayonet fighting skills are unmatched in the world... The three or four Eighth Route Army soldiers are no match for our soldiers... If we fight them head-on with bayonets, there is a great chance of turning defeat into victory!"
"All of you, bayonets on... kill the Eighth Route Army attacking us and kill them all..."
Ingguchi Shao Zuo issued an order while drawing out his command sword, holding the handle of the sword tightly with both hands, and rushed towards the position without hesitation.
He was very confident in his ability to fight hand-to-hand, and he would definitely have no problem killing a dozen Eighth Route Army soldiers.
The blocking troops on the position suffered heavy losses and may be completely destroyed at any time!
As a captain, he cannot abandon his subordinates and survive alone, he must fight with them...
Not to be outdone, Hirosue Shaozuo drew his command sword and rushed towards the battlefield...
The guards protecting them ran faster and rushed directly in front of the two captains!
Their duty is to protect the safety of the captain. They must not allow the captain to engage with the enemy before they die in battle.
"Kill...kill..."
The two troops soon collided with each other, and the guard running in front of Shengkou Shaozuo also began to fight with the Eighth Route Army.
With the bayonet mounted on the rifle, he rushed straight towards the target, preparing to kill the opponent with a thrust...
But the next scene made Ikou Shaozuo so angry that he vomited blood on the spot...
The submachine guns, crooked handles, and Mauser pistols equipped by the independent regiment suddenly opened fire more than ten meters away from their subordinates...
Bullets flew towards the front, and the three guards blocking the front fell to the ground without even a chance to lie down.
My eyes are round and I won’t close my eyes!
"Bagh Ya Road... The Eighth Route Army does not respect martial ethics..." Shengkou Shaozuo cursed angrily. He raised his command knife and killed a company commander equipped with a Mauser pistol, preparing to kill him alive to vent his anger.
hatred.
"Pa bang bang..."
The familiar sound of Mauser pistol firing sounded again, and the opponent did not give him a chance to get close to him. Immediately, there was a stinging pain in his chest. When he lowered his head, he saw two blood holes bleeding out...
It was as if his physical strength was taken away instantly, and he collapsed to the ground instantly...
Before he lost consciousness, he faintly heard his opponent curse: "Silly... I have a gun in my hand, so I can't let go of the bullets, so I won't fight with you on the bayonet and die in vain..."
"Comrades, continue to rush forward with me..."
"When you see a Japanese enemy, shoot...throw a grenade when the bullets are gone, and try to avoid bayonets..."
"Don't let go of the corpses either. Give me a shot from a distance to prevent them from pretending to be dead. Pull our soldiers to back them up..."
"We will definitely win this battle. Don't lose your life because of mistakes and carelessness!"
