60 meters, at this time, the outline of the Japs could be seen clearly, and the soldiers could feel the cold light reflected from the Japs' bayonets. The soldiers' heads began to sweat, and the fingers that tightened the trigger began to tremble. At 50 meters, the company commander still
No shots were fired, 40 meters later, we finally arrived.
"Bang" with a gunshot on the position, a Japanese commander Cao holding the sun flag fell under the gun of the fourth company commander. Immediately, the soldiers also pulled the trigger together when the first gunshot sounded.
The trigger was pulled. In an instant, dozens of Japanese soldiers at the front fell to the soldiers' volleys of gunfire.
The moment the Japs in front fell down, all nine light machine guns on the entire position joined in the firing. There was no need to hide their strength anymore. Without the restraint of saving bullets, the soldiers pulled the triggers desperately.
The nine fire dragons swept back and forth in the enemy's charging formation, leaving no blind spots, constantly harvesting the lives of the Japanese.
Since the Japs had reached the final moment of charge at this time, everyone straightened up and accelerated the charge. It would take at least a few seconds to suddenly fall to the ground from running fast, and just these few seconds would take
Killing their lives, in just these few seconds, each light machine gun fired an entire magazine, and even if one magazine killed several Japs, the total of nine machine guns would still be a small team of Japs.
A Japanese squadron lost at least half of its combat effectiveness in just a few seconds due to a volley of rifle fire.
The Japanese squadron leader sat on his horse and stared blankly at the firepower of the Chinese army on the battlefield. Seeing the tongues of fire constantly harvesting the lives of the imperial warriors, he immediately regretted for underestimating the enemy just now. However, there is no regret medicine in the world. For nearly two years,
Because of their underestimation of the enemy, this small group of Japanese soldiers will fall forever on the ground in front of them, under the gunpoint of others.
"Bageya Road, we were fooled. We ordered the troops to retreat, retreat quickly." Lieutenant Kawada, the squadron leader, said eagerly.
The Japanese who received the order finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they all bent down and began to retreat. This situation did not escape the Fourth Company Commander who had been observing the Japanese army. "It's not that easy to leave!" the Fourth Company Commander said viciously, "Order the troops to come up.
Bayonets, prepare to charge." The fourth company commander quickly issued the order, and bright bayonets were attached to the rifles one after another.
"Come on..." The company commander waved the shell gun in his hand and was the first to rush out of the trench. The soldiers who received the order chased behind the Japanese one by one like tigers coming out of the mountain. Nine light machine guns also followed behind the Japanese.
It kept spitting tongues of fire, harvesting the lives of the last remaining Japanese.
"Boom..." A burst of explosions rang out in the retreating formation of the Japs. Suddenly, there was another burst of ghostly cries and howls. "Haha, the Japs have encountered the booby traps set by the soldiers. Comrades, stop as soon as you see fit.
Pursue, clean the battlefield immediately and return to the position." The fourth company commander thought of the principle of chasing the enemy when he was in trouble, and decisively issued an order to stop the pursuit. The soldiers strictly followed the company commander's order, stopped the pursuit, and began to collect positions
Weapons and ammunition scattered by the enemy on the frontier.
"Looking at the piles of weapons and ammunition in front of me, the company commander couldn't help laughing." Haha, I made a lot of money this time. I wiped out so many Japs with zero casualties and seized so much equipment. Haha, I made a lot of money this time.
"First platoon commander, immediately replenish the ammunition just consumed from the captured ammunition, so that the ammunition reaches the pre-war base, and all remaining weapons will be transported to the headquarters behind, quickly." The fourth company commander immediately issued the order.
The fourth company commander was very happy, but at this time Lieutenant Kawada, the leader of the Japanese squadron, just wanted to commit suicide. He had lost most of the elite imperial troops in his squadron before they came into contact with the Chinese army, and the reason for the loss was because he underestimated the enemy.
.Looking at the bustling dozens of soldiers in front of him, Kawada felt regretful.
"Baga, the abominable Eighth Route Army, I will definitely kill you and use your blood to pay tribute to the Imperial Army warriors who died in Yushan." However, even if he shouted, he could not save the lives of the two teams who lost their lives. "
Reporting to your Excellency, the squadron commander, that the commander of the battalion in Licheng, Major Tian, has sent a telegram," the signal soldier interrupted the angry Hetian and said fearfully.
"Nani." After hearing what the signal soldier said, Kawada grabbed the telegram from the signal soldier's hand with an angry face and began to read it.
Gradually, a smile began to appear on the angry face. "Yoshi, Captain Guitian is worthy of being a warrior of the empire." Squadron Leader Kawada shouted loudly. "It turns out that the Japanese Captain Licheng received a telegram from the headquarters.
After that, troops were quickly mobilized to form two and a half squads of reinforcements. They brought two mountain guns and all mortars from the only artillery squad in Licheng to reinforce Xiangtangpu under the personal leadership of the captain Guitian.
come over.
When the Japanese reinforcements arrived at the Dongyang Pass stronghold, they saw the empty stronghold and immediately thought that Kawada had already set off with his squadron, so he quickly sent a telegram to contact them.
…
"Yo Xi, warriors, Captain Guitian of Licheng has come with cannons. We can avenge our shame and avenge Yushan's imperial warriors. Warriors, cheer up your spirits and welcome the reinforcements of Major Guitian.
." Looking at the soldiers below who had lost their fighting spirit, Kawada quickly told them the good news, hoping to improve the morale of the soldiers.
Sure enough, after listening to the squadron leader's words, some soldiers began to raise their heads with murderous eyes. Soon, Kawada was waiting for the return of the squadron leader, Major Tian.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Major, Lieutenant Kawada, the commander of the Dongyang Pass stronghold squadron, has led all the squadron combatants to greet your arrival." Seeing Guitian on horseback, Kawada hurriedly led his men to greet him.
"Nani, Lieutenant Kawada, why do you only have one squad of soldiers? Why are some of them injured? Please tell me quickly." Looking at the bustling crowd of less than one squad of Japanese soldiers in front of him, the captain asked in confusion.
"Reporting to the Captain, Your Excellency, we fell into the trick of the Eighth Route Army soldiers. Soldiers Huang Jun from two squadrons fell on the front position. Because..." Kawada told the captain in front of him in an exaggerated manner about the battle his squadron encountered.
I hope he can avenge himself.
"Nani, there are Chinese troops ahead. Yosi, order the troops to clear the way. The artillery will immediately build artillery positions and prepare for bombardment." The captain quickly became happy and ordered excitedly.
"Hi," several squadron captains nearby agreed and ran towards their troops. The quality of the Japanese artillery was indeed different. Soon, two mountain cannons, four mortars and more than a dozen grenades were set up.
Got up.
Due to the restrictions of the terrain, the soldiers who were four hundred meters away did not see the Japanese action plan, and still lay in the trench and carefully observed the movements on the position.
"Ugh..." Suddenly, the whistling sound of shells breaking through the air reached the ears of the soldiers. The company platoon commander, who was very familiar with mountain artillery, immediately looked embarrassed. "No, the enemy is shelling, take cover immediately." The company commander shouted loudly.
, the platoon leader next to him also shouted.
However, it was still too late. One of the two mortar shells accurately landed on the position. In an instant, several soldiers were torn apart by the violent explosion, followed by four more mortar shells.
Above, the entire position suddenly fell into chaos.
"Quick, quick, retreat to the second-line position, hurry!" Seeing the casualties of the troops, the company commander did not panic. He gave a loud order and organized the soldiers to retreat. Soon, under the leadership of some squad platoon leaders, the troops led
The bodies of the wounded and fallen comrades retreated from the front-line positions while avoiding the Japanese shells.
Similarly, regiment commander Gao Yuan, who was in the rear, had been observing the situation of the position. When he heard the whistling and explosion of artillery shells, he immediately knew that the Japanese army was coming. At the same time, he immediately ordered the artillery company behind the position to immediately measure the position of the Japanese artillery position.
Position, knock out the Japanese artillery positions.
After all, it is very difficult to measure the enemy's artillery positions based on ballistics when the Eighth Route Army does not have any advanced tools. It takes at least one minute, and in this minute, it is enough for the enemy.
Cannon fires several rounds of shells
Finally, under the continuous urging of the regiment commander, the artillery company adjusted the shooting target. Without test firing, it directly covered the artillery fire. "Fire." The artillery company commander moved the small red flag in his hand. Suddenly, the entire artillery position sounded an ear-splitting sound.
There was an explosion, and nine shells were ejected from the muzzle with residual heat.
A few seconds later, there were bursts of explosions on the Japs' position. Although the shooting effect could not be seen, judging from the loudness of the sounds, the expected effect must have been achieved. Because among the explosions, the explosion of the doctor was particularly loud.
, To achieve such an effect, it is impossible to rely on just one artillery shell. It must have detonated the Japanese bomb. Hearing the explosion, the artillery company commander couldn't help but look happy, and then ordered, "Go on and load the bomb.
Freely fire from each gun position and shoot five shells in the shortest possible time."
Indeed, the artillery company correctly calculated the Japanese artillery position. Exactly four of the nine rounds of artillery shells in the first round landed on the Japanese artillery position, and exactly one shell landed next to a box of mortar shells.
, suddenly, the violent temperature of the explosion caused the detonation of mortar shells. And these only four shells caused the Japanese artillery to lose almost half of its combat effectiveness. "Baga, move the position immediately and move the shells away quickly.
…” An explosion sound drowned out the voice of the captain of the Japanese artillery team, and the team leader was thrown high...
"Bagaya Road, the artillery fire of the Chinese army is so fierce, Baga!" Seeing that the artillery position behind the position lost its combat effectiveness under two rounds of attacks by the Chinese army, he immediately became furious and called Hetian next to him.
Lieutenant. "Lieutenant Kawada, you have a very bad conscience. Why didn't you detect that the Chinese army on the opposite side had such powerful artillery fire? Baga, my artillery, my cannon." Pa Pa Pa "Two slaps on the ground."
Kawada's face. Kawada could only lower his head in aggrieved manner and endure the burning slap.
Although the artillery was gone, the battle would continue. Major Guida quickly calmed down and organized the remaining artillery and the remnants of Kawada Squadron into a strengthened squad. In this way, he almost had the strength of three squadrons, which was enough for him.
Breaking through the Chinese army's position. Thinking of this, Guitian, who had just been annoyed about losing the cannon, became excited again. "Order the troops to prepare for the attack immediately." The captain quickly issued the combat order.
