Chapter 161 There are also people in the Japanese army who are greedy for life and afraid of death
The position that the company held was from the front, directly encountering the main force of the Japanese army.
The position held by the Second Company is on the flank, and the Japanese army will most likely send a small group of troops to detour from the flank to double-team Yuhuatai.
Behind them is Juhuatai, another position of Yuhuatai, which is the position where Gao Zhisong's troops hold firm. The battalion led by Xia Yuan can be regarded as Gao Zhisong's forward position.
The indiscriminate bombardment by Japanese aircraft lasted for half an hour, and then they fired at low altitudes and flew away. Thick smoke billowed from the two bombed positions.
Then there was no movement. The purpose of the false position was to contain it. When the Japanese infantry went up to the false position, they would realize that they had been tricked.
It is estimated that the Japanese army wasted at least more than half an hour on the false position in front, not only consuming bombs, but also consuming time. Although it is not painful, it can stimulate the Japanese mentality and delay time.
Disgusted little Japanese devil.
Ten minutes after the Japanese bombing ended, the soldiers from the two front squads withdrew from the front line. The squad leader found Xia Yuan and gave him a general overview of the situation ahead. Xia Yuan also had a general idea in his mind.
Thousands of people, probably a complete division.
When a battalion faces the attack of a division, the collision will undoubtedly be like an egg hitting a stone.
Xia Yuan did not intend to use a battalion to resist the brutal Japanese attack. It was quite good to be able to withstand it for two days.
His purpose was similar to Sun Yuanliang's, which was to dampen the Japanese devils' energy and give a blow to the little Japanese devils.
By the way, boost the morale of your own defenders.
This is probably Sun Yuanliang's idea.
The Japanese attack arrived quickly. The two false positions in front were just as Xia Yuan expected. The Japanese army wasted the support of the air force and the artillery shells. When their infantry rushed to the position, they did not find a single Chinese.
There were only straw and pieces of clothing scattered on the ground among the human corpses.
This is not only true for the first position, but also for the second position.
They were fooled by the Chinese.
The Japanese army became so angry that they vowed to kill all the Chinese people.
They came towards the 1st company position menacingly. Although they were blinded by anger, the Japanese still sent a vanguard force when they advanced.
A squadron, four tanks, and a small group of Japanese cavalry, about 300 Japanese troops.
They discovered the positions and bunker fortifications built by the Chinese in front.
The squadron leader waved his hand to signal the team to stop advancing. He took off his binoculars and looked at the position built by the Chinese in the distance. On the position, there were stationary Chinese standing one after another. Their clothes were in tatters and they did not look like living people.
"Baga, the Chinese are really cunning. They want to use this trick to deceive us. They deceive us twice. They even want to deceive us a second time. I won't be fooled. Attack!"
He waved his hand, signaling for the tank to run over directly.
As everyone knows, the scarecrow on the position is still used by Xia Yuan to confuse the enemy. In the criss-crossing trenches, there are companies of soldiers holding grenades hidden one after another.
Directly in front is the anti-tank trench.
When the Japanese tanks passed through the anti-tank trenches, they would fall headlong into the trenches and become unable to move due to the height difference of the anti-tank trenches.
Four tanks filed in, as if asking you to put yourself in a urn, your head sank, and you fell into the anti-tank trench.
"Baga!"
When the squadron leader saw this scene, his face became angry. He immediately asked the engineers to go to help. The infantry continued to advance and first destroyed the Chinese position.
Nearly two hundred infantrymen unsuspectingly entered the firing range of the national soldiers. They saw the criss-crossing barbed wire fences and had a vague premonition that something was wrong.
Xia Yuan suddenly gave an order.
More than ten light and heavy machine guns concentrated in one company opened fire simultaneously, forming a cross-fire network that caught the Japanese soldiers off guard. On the spot, twenty or thirty Japanese soldiers were shot through by machine gun bullets and lay on the ground wailing in pain. The infantrymen at the rear
Confused, they then saw grenades flying in the sky.
When Xia Yuan was building his position, he built a forward position near the barbed wire fence, which was only more than 20 meters away. This position allowed the soldiers to accurately launch grenades into the Japanese army.
The grenades flying all over the sky were like huge raindrops. They fell on the ground and exploded with huge energy. The broken shrapnel bloomed into beautiful flowers along with the rolled up soil.
A throwing team composed of more than 30 Chinese soldiers, each carrying more than 30 grenades in a basket, created an explosion no less than a carpet bombing. The Japanese troops who wanted to break through the barbed wire were first blocked by machine gun fire.
Then they were bombarded by grenades in turn. About four infantry squads could not withstand such torture. In just a few minutes, many people were killed or injured.
The Japanese squadron leader saw this and cursed.
They were fooled, and the fool was quite outrageous. They just walked up to the gunpoint of the Chinese and died. This was the most stupid behavior. There were more than 200 infantrymen, plus some engineers, and only 40 people retreated in the end.
There were many people, and the level of casualties made the squadron leader feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, freezing to the bone.
The casualties were simply too high.
Although this Japanese army was not wiped out, it was almost enough. The remaining dozens of Japanese soldiers were not enough to cause any trouble.
"Retreat!" Xia Yuan shouted.
The Japanese army has discovered them and will definitely bombard the position, so staying here is of little use.
The tanks in the anti-tank trenches were still roaring. The soldiers from the demolition team had already touched them.
Xia Yuan was at the front line. After the soldiers responsible for throwing grenades retreated, he held a gun and stared at the Japanese troops in the distance.
The soldiers of the demolition team approached the tank. The hatch of the tank suddenly opened. A tank soldier carrying a pistol stretched out, raised his gun and aimed at the approaching national soldiers. He was about to shoot with a ferocious look. A bullet rubbed the air and broke through the air.
It came and hit the tank soldier's head with a pop, and he fell to the ground as soon as his body went limp.
The approaching soldier had a look of shock on his face, but this scene made him feel as if he had returned from hell to heaven. He climbed onto the tank, pulled the cord of the cluster grenade in his arms, and threw it from the open hatch of the tank.
Got in.
There was a loud bang, the sound of metal hitting metal, and a burst of black smoke emitted from the tank hatch.
The members of the demolition team followed the same example and easily destroyed the remaining three tanks in the same way, turning these tanks into a pile of scrap metal.
After blowing up three tanks, the soldiers of the company cheered excitedly.
Although it was a brief confrontation with the Japanese army, they ended in victory.
However, no one on our side suffered any casualties, which is quite unbelievable.
They have long been used to casualties in battles, but this was the first time they had zero casualties. This was the first time they had experienced zero casualties in a battle with the Japanese army.
The Japanese army fled in despair, leaving corpses and four abandoned tanks on the ground. The soldiers of the first company were very happy and their confidence soared.
Their battalion commander was indeed not a simple man. He was indeed the God of War in Songhu. This battle alone made everyone completely admire him.
Xia Yuan didn't feel happy at all.
The Japanese army had fallen into his trap and suffered a huge loss. They were bound to launch a crazy act of revenge. Xia Yuan asked the first company commander to prepare to hide in Maoer Cave in advance.
As expected.
After waiting for the Japanese troops to retreat for more than ten minutes, they had almost cleaned up the battlefield. Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came from the gray sky, as if something fell from the sky.
Xia Yuan raised his head, and his pupils reflected black spots all over the sky, dragging out arcs and filling the sky.
In an instant, the entire position seemed to be turned upside down, and the rumbling sound filled people's eardrums, making the person's body tremble constantly.
"Don't ask for anything, hide in the cat's ear hole!"
Xia Yuan saw the soldier holding the captured Japanese rifle, which was overturned by the bomb. He struggled for a long time and couldn't get up. He ran up and grabbed the soldier's clothes, pulled him up from the ground and shouted.
The sound was then swallowed up by the roaring gunfire.
He dragged the soldiers, jumped into the trench, rolled and crawled into the pier.
A shell landed on the trench, and the black soil fell like rain.
Inside the Mao'er Cave, the Japanese shelling continued to reverberate and amplify, and the deafening roar lingered around the brain, lingering. Fortunately, the Mao'er Cave was strong enough. Even if the trench was bombed and buried by the soil, the Mao'er Cave remained the same.
It was intact, and the soldiers of the national army hiding in Maoer Cave suffered few casualties, preserving the integrity of the troops to a great extent.
The Japanese shelling lasted for ten minutes.
About five hundred Japanese troops, accompanied by seven tanks, rushed towards the position crazily.
The tank rolled over the ground, leaving two uneven ruts on the ground. The tank's muzzle was aimed at the National Army position and fired with a bang. The soil and ground around the tank trembled, and a shell was fired rapidly towards the National Army's previously built
At the machine gun fire point, there was a loud bang, and half of the machine gun bunker collapsed, exposing the concrete and bent steel bars inside.
The Japanese infantry walked, alert, as the tanks swarmed in.
After being washed away by artillery fire, the positions, barbed wire fences and anti-tank trenches were all damaged to varying degrees. Although the Japanese tanks fell into the anti-tank trenches, the trenches were filled with a large amount of soil and basically lost their anti-tank effect.
The Japanese tank squirmed for a while before climbing out of the anti-tank trench at an angle.
The Japanese infantry followed closely and began to crush the Chinese army's position.
The scene was in an instant crisis.
"The anti-tank trenches are useless."
"The Japs are coming up, fifty meters away from us!"
"Tanks, the Japanese tanks are coming!"
"I'm going to blow up these idiots."
"Come to me from the first row, hold them up, don't let the little Japanese devils rush over!"
The soldiers of the national army emerged from the cat's ear hole. The ringing in their ears had not dissipated. The surrounding sounds were hazy, and they saw Japanese tanks and infantry approaching menacingly.
Immediately, a counterattack team composed of a platoon of Chinese soldiers passed through the communication trench and headed to the forward position to block the enemy Japanese army.
Clang.
The hatch cover of the Japanese tank was suddenly opened. A tank driver came out, grabbed the machine gun above the tank, and fired at the Chinese troops in the traffic trench. The bullets rubbed against the air and came whizzing. The Chinese troops were caught off guard.
The soldiers were knocked down, and the national soldiers behind quickly hid in a curved position.
The bullets hit the soil, smashing the trench to pieces, and a large amount of soil kept flying up.
"Kill the little Japs' tanks!"
"I'm going!"
A National Army soldier rushed out, carrying a gun, and ran very fast, but in the end, he could not run faster than the bullets. The Japanese machine gunner immediately turned his gun and aimed at the running National Army soldier, and the bullets hit him.
, bloody flowers bloom.
The figure fell down.
Japanese tanks and infantry began to enter the forward position. Behind the infantry, there was a Japanese grenade squad, which was rapidly loading ammunition. One grenade shell fell from the sky on the Chinese army's position.
In the rear, the Japanese army's flat-fire artillery aimed at the machine gun bunker constructed of concrete and steel bars on the first company position. Whoosh, a shell dragged in a long arc, rubbed the air, made a sharp whistle, and with a bang, a shell was fired.
Plunging into the machine gun bunker made of reinforced concrete, in an instant, the national troops inside seemed to have been hit by a hammer. Huge vibrations shook their whole bodies. Some people even had their heads buzzing for a while, and their eyesight turned black.
Fortunately, the structure of the reinforced concrete bunker was strong, and a Japanese flat-fire cannon was unable to tear through the bunker's defense.
After a brief moment of confusion, machine gunfire rang out again.
On the battlefield.
With the Japanese attack under control, Xia Yuan joined the battle, using a Type 38 rifle to guerrilla the infantry behind the Japanese tanks on the position.
There is an open area directly in front of the Yuhuatai position, which is not conducive to holding on. The terrain is very harsh for the soldiers of the First Company who stick to it. The soldiers of the First Company relied entirely on their strong will to fight the Japanese army here.
The tank soldier above the tank was also shot dead by Xia Yuan, causing considerable casualties to the Japanese army in a short period of time.
The large number of grenades prepared previously also played a huge role. The throwing hand grenades created a minefield that blocked the Japanese army's advance. Continuous roars sounded from the rear of the Japanese army, which brought huge impact and obstacles to the Japanese infantry, so that they
There was a disconnect with the tanks.
Once the disconnect occurs, it will bring opportunities to the soldiers of the national army in charge of explosions. Under the cover of the machine gunners behind them, the blasters quickly attack, climb on the tank, and stuff the cluster grenades into the Japanese tanks. The ash pillars soaring from the sky.
The opened hatch cover popped out, and the tank was like a pile of scrap metal, parked on the ground unable to move.
Xia Yuan's guerrillas worked. He took the lead in killing the Japanese team leader, squadron leader, and some special Japanese soldiers, causing chaos in the Japanese command system. The team leader could only take over the command. But in this way,
There was confusion among the various groups.
To a certain extent, the Japanese army is similar to the US military. Their soldiers are also afraid of death. Bushido is also seen in death squads.
Once the battlefield situation was not conducive to their operations, some Japanese team leaders chose to retreat, but some team leaders chose to attack.
They are not like the volunteer army. Once an order is given, each group will resolutely implement it, even if the entire army is destroyed.
There were people in the Japanese army who were greedy for life and afraid of death. Most of these people had just left Japan. They were promoted and brainwashed by the domestic media. When they arrived on the battlefield, they discovered that there was a huge difference between the so-called jihad and the jihad published in domestic newspapers.
