They underestimated the fighting power of the Chinese and underestimated their own soldiers.
From their position to the Chinese position, there is an open area. Even this open area is full of large and small impact points, but it is not enough to accommodate a soldier to hide. If it is on the front, through the undulating open area,
Not enough to shoot his soldiers.
From the side, you can see it very clearly.
"Fortunately, we have a small group of soldiers arriving at the Chinese position!"
Who would have thought that his words had just fallen.
Then they heard a huge roar coming from the Chinese wall position. The two commanders raised their heads in shock and saw the explosion that shot up into the sky. What was rolled up was not brown soil, but bright red blood mist.
Chief Cao who spoke realized that their attack had failed.
There were expressions of disbelief on their faces, as if they didn't want to believe that this scene happened, but the reality happened, and it happened in front of them. The two Captain Cao started fighting with the national army after landing.
I participated in the landing battle and the battle for Luodian, so I can be said to be quite familiar with the Chinese army.
Being backward, ignorant, and weak in combat capabilities has almost become recognized within the Japanese army.
A Japanese detachment was able to attack a position held by one or two platoons or even a company of the National Army. The National Army had to pay the lives of seven, eight, or even ten soldiers in exchange for the life of one of their Japanese soldiers.
The combat ability is not averagely bad.
The only thing worthy of their recognition is that the Chinese soldiers are not afraid of death. They really are not afraid of death. A group of people, without even any tactical formation, rushed over. The Japanese soldiers wanted to smash their 38-type rifles.
, there are too many people, and we rely entirely on the advantage of numbers to fight them.
But just today, the Chinese, who are backward, ignorant, have poor combat capabilities and can only rely on human sea tactics, have taught them a lesson.
Both Captain Cao were Japanese veterans with rich combat experience. Judging from the sound of gunshots, the Chinese troops were not many, or even smaller than them. However, it was such a sparse force that they were wiped out.
Seven, seven, eight, eight.
The two Chief Cao felt almost unbelievable.
incredible.
shock.
Various complex emotions emerged in their hearts.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Captain Cao of the third detachment saw that there were only two or three soldiers left around him, and he already felt fear in his heart. There were few gunshots and he could hear them clearly. He only heard the gunshots, followed by Japanese soldiers falling to the ground.
There was no movement.
The sound of the gunshot was like a death call.
The remaining soldiers did not even dare to show their heads and hid themselves in narrow gaps for fear of popping up and being shot by the Chinaman who looked like the god of death.
The gunfire stopped, and sporadic gunfire was faintly heard from another direction. In their direction, the gunfire seemed very sparse, and even stopped, without any movement.
On the battlefield, the corpses of Japanese soldiers lay scattered, each with a fatal gunshot wound.
There were only five remaining Japanese troops, hiding in a low ruins and hiding their bodies behind bunkers. At this moment, they realized that, as the squadron leader said, the Japanese squads responsible for the morning attack suffered heavy casualties, and
The Chinese troops responsible for holding the position are not large. What is the key to this?
It was the Chinese who could kill a Japanese soldier with one shot. His combat ability was very powerful. It was the first time that the two Japanese commanders had seen a Chinese with such powerful combat ability since they joined the army.
.
The battle seemed to be over, the gunfire disappeared.
The entire battlefield seemed to have fallen into dead silence.
The hearts of the remaining Japanese soldiers were beating rapidly. They always felt that it was not safe for them to wait without doing anything.
"The Chinese people don't have as many people as us, maybe we should try to rush out."
"Don't think about it. There were so many people just now, but they didn't rush to the Chinese position. It was just the five of us."
"Maybe there is another way?"
"We cannot delay it any longer. If we continue to delay it, the Chinese may come around."
"Maybe it's a good thing to go around. It's better than us not even seeing their figures, but they wiped out our people."
"Cunning Chinese people! If I can go back alive, I will definitely kill them!"
"I want to go home."
"Baga, we just arrived!"
Their voices are very small and subtle.
"Stop, I seem to hear something?"
"What sound!?"
"Footsteps..."
A grenade appeared above their heads without warning. With a bang, broken shrapnel was scattered everywhere. It penetrated deep into the ruins and reached the horizontal gate. Three of the five Japanese were killed on the spot.
The two Captain Cao were also dead, and the remaining two Japanese soldiers were covered in blood. They had a lot of air coming out but little air coming in. It was obvious that they would not survive.
The veterans and Niu Qian rushed over quickly, with anger on their faces, especially the veterans. The Japanese rushed to the forward position, and no sound was heard for such a long time. Zheng Dayong and the others were probably in trouble.
The veteran was filled with anger. When he saw the two Japanese soldiers who were still alive, his chest was filled with anger. He could no longer control himself. He held a bayonet on the muzzle of his gun and stabbed one of the Japanese soldiers in the heart.
He went down and the bayonet came out of his back. He pulled out the bayonet and stabbed it hard.
Once, again, and again.
The Japanese soldier was already dead, his chest was stabbed to pieces, and the dazzling blood stained the rubble, soil, and masonry. There was a strong smell of blood floating in the air.
Niu Qian also used a bayonet to stab another Japanese soldier who was not dead but was already dying. He was still angry and stabbed the Japanese soldier's body to pieces in the same way. The flesh and blood were blurred, with one part white and one red.
In the walled position, Xia Yuan held his gun and looked at the miserable situation in the trenches. Veterans and Niu Qian ran over from behind.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Company Commander, everything has been dealt with." The veteran glanced at the trench, and his eyes stayed on Zheng Dayong. He helped Zheng Dayong up.
He took a deep breath, and his heart was filled with bitterness, "This boy, after following you for so long, finally died here."
Xia Yuan sighed, looked at the miserable situation in the trench, and said: "I once promised them that I would fight them out alive, and I fought them out, but I never promised them to live.
"
"Company Commander, it's not your fault. Bullets don't have eyes. No one knows when they will be shot."
Bullets have no eyes. Many times, everyone wonders if they can survive as long as they hide quietly and shoot secretly. But bullets don’t have eyes. No matter how well you hide, there will always be one or two bullets without eyes flying.
Shooting to your hiding position, sometimes, as soon as your head is exposed, you will be hit by a bullet. This bullet may be the enemy's machine gun, firing unintentionally, suppressing fire, or it may be the enemy shooting randomly with a rifle.
Shooting on the battlefield was usually like this. Random shooting and Xia Yuan's precise aim were quite shocking to many people.
Zheng Dayong's body was penetrated by a bullet, and the distance between the two sides was ten or twenty meters, which could maximize the power of the Type 38 rifle.
Zhao Ya also died, half of his body was blown away.
Xiaoliu only had some broken limbs and arms left.
Lao Qi was still alive, but he fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss. Apparently, the wound ruptured due to strenuous exercise in the battle just now.
First they stopped Lao Qi's bleeding, and then the three of them buried the bodies of the fallen soldiers.
Then the battlefield was cleaned, the trenches were cleared, and the reserves from the rear were moved to the front. The Japanese army increased their strength and increased the intensity of their attack. This was a good thing for them. The more anxious the Japanese army was, the more calmly they defended.
Xia Yuan considered that the two trenches could not be connected to each other, so he had people dig winding communication trenches and dig bomb shelters on both sides of the communication trenches.
Half an hour later, everyone was busy in full swing, but still no Japanese attacking troops had arrived.
Lao Qi had already woken up. He had lost too much blood, his face looked pale, and the bandage on his arm was wrapped again.
"Company Commander."
"You're finally awake." Xia Yuan wiped the sweat from his face, patted the soil on the trench with a shovel, and said, "Have a rest, the Japanese will not come for a while."
"Where are Zheng Dayong and the others?" Lao Qi looked around, but did not find Zheng Dayong or the others.
"All sacrificed." Xia Yuan seemed to be saying something innocuous.
"Sacrificed..." Lao Qi's eyes froze and he sighed: "I used to say that Xiao Liu was a coward, but I didn't expect that he would save me this time."
"None of them are cowards."
"They are all heroes!" Xia Yuan said, "You have a rest. The Japanese will come over later and ask you to continue fighting."
After a pause, he asked again: "Can you still hold on?"
"able!"
Lao Qi said firmly, "It's no problem to kill a few more Japanese devils."
"Don't hold on, the Japanese will definitely be on guard against us next time they attack."
Sometimes, showing real combat capabilities is not a good thing, as it will attract special treatment from the Japanese army. The fighting gunfire on the south side was sporadic, and the Japanese army used small groups to fight and encroach on the Sun family home on the south side.
But on the Du family residence on the north side, they suffered a lot. It was clearly felt that the number of Japanese offensive troops was gradually increasing as time went by. From the first few people, to a small team, to
Now there are half a squad of troops.
Maybe in the next attack, the Japanese army will attack Dujiazhai as a small team.
Xia Yuan looked at the busy people in the trenches. Maybe after today, he didn't know how many people would be alive.
While thinking, the sharp roar of artillery shells came from the sky. Xia Yuan reacted and immediately shouted: "Artillery attack, hurry up, hide in the bomb shelter!"
The bomb shelter holes they dug were still a bit shallow. Fortunately, the Japanese army used mortars, whose caliber was far less lethal than howitzers. After a round of shelling, the trench was enlarged by shells. Two soldiers were wounded, and the veteran was giving them
Make a simple bandage.
Before the smoke cleared, the soldiers responsible for reconnaissance beside the wall suddenly heard a voice.
"The Japs are coming!"
Previously, more than 30 Japanese soldiers were eliminated and a lot of guns and ammunition were seized, which was enough for the few of them. Xia Yuan replenished his ammunition, turned on his eagle eyes, and observed the front. The hazy smoke of gunpowder dispersed, and skirmishers appeared among the ruins.
Japanese troops attacking on the front line.
"Veteran, Niu Qian, follow me!"
Xia Yuan clearly saw the distribution of the Japanese troops, and immediately called to the two of them, stepped on the sandbags piled behind the wall, climbed over the wall, and quickly got into the ruins.
The crackling gunshots rang out, and the battle was about to break out.
Lao Qi was responsible for shooting at the rear position. The smoke on the battlefield was flying everywhere, which had a serious impact on the sight. Everyone's shooting was quite blind. Fortunately, there were enough bullets.
The Japanese army also quickly entered a fighting state and its troops began to disperse.
"Damn it, the Japanese army must at least have a squad." The veteran looked at the Japanese army, scattered among the ruins, and there were quite a few of them.
There are troops with more than three detachments.
"The Japanese have suffered a lot and must pull out this nail." Xia Yuan stared at the sergeant and commander in the marching team of the Japanese.
The sergeant is the deputy captain of the team, and the commander Cao is the team leader. In addition to the sergeant and commander Cao, there is also a corps commander who is the leader of the team.
The deputy captain of the squad is a warrant officer, and the squad leader is a second lieutenant. They can be distinguished from the uniforms worn by the Japanese soldiers.
Xia Yuan mainly searched for and shot Japanese officers, just like on the Korean battlefield. However, the Japanese army was much more difficult to deal with than the US military. If the commander of the US military died, its soldiers would lose their combat effectiveness very quickly.
The commander of the Japanese army is dead, and there is still a corps commander to take command. It is similar to the Volunteer Army's 3:3 system, with three people in a group and the team leader in charge of the rear. The 3:3 system has the shadow of the Japanese army's tactics, but the Japanese army's tactics are not perfect.
, but facing the National Army and the Eighth Route Army, which had poor weapons and equipment, weak combat capabilities, backward tactics, and even no tactics, even if it was incomplete offensive tactics, just skirmishing lines, infantry and artillery coordination, they had no way to defeat the Japanese.
.
This move started from the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan and continued until the late stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Xia Yuan's guess was very accurate. The Japanese troops in the direction of Dujiazhai suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese squadron leader personally came to the front line to observe the Japanese troops fighting on the front line. As a result, his arrival had no effect.
It's not that the Japanese have no fighting ability, but the enemy they face is simply a god-like existence in a small force.
Xia Yuan's weakness is large-scale corps movement warfare, but if companies and platoons are used to fight blocking and offensive battles, it is absolutely worthwhile. After all, the first time he participated in the battle was with the seventh company's offensive.
Interspersed battles are even more handy in this regard.
The Japanese offensive was very fierce at the beginning. If they could withstand two consecutive Japanese attacks, their subsequent attacks would be much weaker.
Xia Yuan knew this very well in his heart, and he insisted that if he wanted to fight, he would cripple, cripple, and scare the Japanese devils. In this way, the Japanese devils would be afraid, and if they fight again, they would have to weigh them carefully.
