Colonel Imai Ichiro swore that he had never experienced such a violent bombardment. The first wave of artillery prepared in thirty minutes included 232 guns and 75 guns of the 4th Artillery Division, and 105,152 mm infantry.
Artillery, howitzers, 203mm heavy howitzers, and the 82mm and 120mm mortar units belonging to the regiment and division dumped nearly 10,000 rounds on the forward positions of the 67th Regiment of the Japanese Army.
Artillery shells, equivalent to hundreds of tons of steel and explosives, fell on the intended target area of the Japanese army.
Suddenly, the violent bombardment stopped. At this moment, the whole world seemed to have once again returned to its previous tranquility. However, the trenches that the Japanese army took half a year to build had been completely destroyed by the fierce artillery fire. They were blown into pieces.
In the trenches, only the frightened roars of the Japanese soldiers and the heart-rending screams of a large number of wounded soldiers could be heard.
"You cowards and cowards, you are not worthy of being the warriors of the Japanese Empire. Look at you. Even a Chinese woman is braver than you. The Chinese are about to attack. Pick up your rifles immediately, mount your bayonets and drive the Chinese away."
Go back and let everyone in China see the bravery of the imperial soldiers." The officers did not pay any attention to the wounded soldiers who were missing arms and legs.
The Japanese officers wielding command swords in the dilapidated trenches vigorously kicked the shivering soldiers hiding in the collapsed trenches, pulled them up by their collars, and pushed them to the edge of the bombed-out trenches.
Aim ahead.
At this time, the Japanese army's position was no longer a position, but a bloody hell. The complete trench system that had been built with great effort by Colonel Imai Ichiro, the commander of the regiment, had completely changed its appearance. Blackened craters were overturned by artillery shells.
The earth collapsed, the trenches were burning with log support pillars. Broken weapons, scattered ammunition boxes, and exploded barbed wire had completely turned this place into a hell-like appearance.
And what sets off the hell are corpses and blood everywhere. The broken corpse fragments and broken limbs of the soldiers are all over the entire position. There are almost no complete corpses here, and most of the dead soldiers here are only
They left behind charred stumps or bloody severed arms. Many more people left nothing behind. They completely disappeared under the horrific artillery fire for thirty minutes, with only a few scraps of cloth or some stumps to prove their presence.
I was once in this iron hell.
The Japanese defense line has been completely wiped out. No complete trenches can be found at all, and all bunkers and firepower points have been destroyed. No soldier is willing to stay in this fiery hell, but those soldiers who tried to escape
But one by one, their heads were chopped off by the officers with command swords.
At this moment, the tranquility was once again broken, and the harsh whistling sound of artillery shells piercing the sky was heard again. The Japanese soldiers, who had almost collapsed, were almost dumbfounded to receive another fierce bombardment.
"beep"
At the beginning of the second round of bombardment, a loud blast from the Japanese trenches pierced the roaring sky. Even amidst the rumbling of the artillery, the loud blast still seemed to be able to pierce everyone's soul.
As loud as the eardrums, the sound was so loud that even the people in Dage Town heard the loud charging horn.
"Mount the bayonet"
Following the orders of the officers in the trenches, more than a thousand soldiers from the two sharp knife battalions of the 102nd Division in the trenches installed bayonets on their rifles. The sound of metal clashing as the bayonets were installed was heard in the trenches. The soldiers held on tightly.
Most of the soldiers in the Rifle Sharp Knife Battalion looked very calm. After experiencing the cruel baptism on the Siberian battlefield, they were accustomed to this kind of attack. Their eyes were looking up at the parapet of the ground trench. They were about to jump out of the two-meter-deep trench to the ground.
The Japanese army's position began to attack. The new recruits who had just been added behind seemed a little nervous. They clutched the Garand rifles in their hands, and their backs were wet.
"kill"
As the offensive charge sounded, the trenches of the 102nd Division immediately began to boil. The first wave of more than a thousand assault infantry from the 1st and 2nd battalions of the 6th Regiment of the 102nd Division rushed out of the trenches using the ladders.
. Hundreds of mg34 machine guns covering the charge simultaneously spit out tongues of fire at the Japanese positions to suppress possible counterattacks by the Japanese soldiers. Six infantry companies with more than a thousand soldiers jumping out of the trenches formed six sharp knives.
He rushed towards the Japanese army's position.
The officers and soldiers of the two battalions who jumped out of the trenches and charged quickly looked at the rolling smoke and rising fireballs on the Japanese position with the same dumbfounded eyes. The violent explosions and shock waves also impacted the fast-paced charge.
The strong smell of gunpowder in the eardrums of the officers and soldiers of the Thirty-sixth Regiment was also stimulated by the north wind, which also irritated their mouths, noses, chests and lungs.
"Beep, beep, beep"
The soldiers of the Thirty-seventh Group Army who charged amidst the dense explosions did not hear the orders of the non-commissioned officers and officers at all. They just followed the company and platoon leader as usual, and followed the small red flag held by the squad and platoon leader. Even the company
Even the shouts of "kill, kill" that they themselves could not hear were heard in everyone's ears. There was only one sound, which was a thunderous explosion full of violent pressure.
The soldiers of the two battalions selected from the division to serve as the sharp knife assault force seemed to feel the ground shaking and shaking under their feet even when charging. No one cared whether it was the result of the shelling or their stampede.
For them, they can only win honor for the 102nd Division and become the first unit to break through the Japanese army's forward defense line.
The second round of forward suppressive artillery fire lasted only two minutes and then extended in depth. However, for the soldiers of the Thirty-seventh Army who qualified for a five-kilometer armed cross-country and twenty-two minutes, the two-minute suppressive artillery bombardment was enough for them to rush to a distance not far away.
Go to the Japanese forward position 500 meters away and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opponent using bayonets and grenades.
When the bombardment stopped, the gunpowder smoke on the Japanese positions could not disperse quickly. Those Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the iron fire hell were still in shock. Before they could quickly poke their heads out, they heard a wave of shouting close at hand.
There was a killing sound, and then black dots like raindrops were thrown from the air.
More than 1,100 grenades were thrown by six companies of assault infantry at a distance of more than 30 meters from the Japanese army's position. More than 1,000 grenades exploded continuously in the destroyed trenches of the Russian army, completely destroying them.
The Japanese soldiers, who were already on the verge of collapse under the shelling, had their heads covered.
"Da da da"
The first wave of soldiers who rushed to the Japanese trenches used Somi submachine guns, Garand rifles, and light machine guns to shoot at any moving targets in the trenches. Then they jumped into the trenches and used bayonets and submachine guns to drive away those who had not yet recovered.
The Japanese soldiers.
Lieutenant General Kenta Nakajima, the commander of the 27th Division on the second line of defense behind Daku Town, silently observed the situation of the 67th Regiment through the telescope, and felt sad. He knew that the 67th Regiment
It's over. Sending reinforcements now will only become fragments under the Chinese artillery shells. Although the first and second lines of defense are only a short distance of two hundred meters, he is sure that the Chinese artillery has long been aimed at the two lines.
The open space between the defense lines is waiting for the imperial soldiers to come over and reinforce.
Lieutenant General Kenta Nakajima looked back at the position of the field artillery regiment behind him, and felt sad. The empire's field artillery regiment only had fifty-four 75mm caliber field guns, and they did not dare to show their heads at all, otherwise they would be waiting for them.
An overwhelming blow and a fate of destruction.
"kill"
The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Regiment, who had been baptized in the Siberian battlefield, skillfully used the weapons in their hands to harvest the lives of Japanese soldiers without any unnecessary movement in their hands. Somi's power was maximized in the trenches.
The seventy-round drum magazine of the Somi ensures that they can provide continuous fire support to the soldiers. After being baptized on the Siberian battlefield, the Somi submachine gun has become one of the favorite partners of the Chahar soldiers.
In fact, the most outstanding aspect of the Somi submachine gun is not the design, but the manufacturing process. The material is high-quality chromium-nickel steel, which is carefully manufactured by the digital lathe of the Chahar Arsenal, using the manufacturing process standards of sniper rifles. The result of excellence, the Somi
Submachine guns have unparalleled reliability and accuracy.
Due to the superior quality of the Somi submachine gun, the Chahar army sometimes uses 9 mm Magnum ammunition to project the gunpowder, increasing the effective range of the Somi to 300 meters. Coupled with the rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute, this
It's a jaw-dropping indicator at this time.
"Da da da"
Niogen, the third company commander, grew tall and tall. At 1.92 meters tall, he carried a Somi submachine gun weighing less than ten kilograms like a toothpick, constantly harvesting the lives of the Japanese army. In his
There is a rifleman guarding him on each side. This is a standard assault formation. Its purpose is to use powerful firepower to tear apart all enemies it encounters.
"Fuck him, sir. This kind of occasion should have happened to me in the armored regiment. It's a pity that I missed such a good opportunity. The commander said that he wanted to train the new recruits in the division. Otherwise, how would they get their turn in such an occasion?"
These infantry are here to take the credit." Zhou Zhen, the commander of the newly formed armored regiment of the 102nd Division, looked at the charging infantry in front with envy and thought with envy in his heart.
When the 102nd Division returned to Chahar this time, it was ordered by the headquarters to transfer more than 2,000 veterans to supplement the newly formed units. The supplements were the recruits who had just come out of the recruit training camp.
The two riflemen Niu Gensheng brought with him today were the recruits who had just come out of the recruit training camp. There was no other way. This was an order personally issued by Commander Su.
The reason why Su Tong did not let the new troops who stayed behind in Chahar attack the enemy was because he was afraid of too many casualties, so he let the two infantry divisions who had just come off the Siberian battlefield go out.
