Chapter 409: The Japanese Army Jumped over the Wall
"60 meters...50 meters..." Just when the first battalion commander counted to 50 meters, almost everyone of the several company commanders raised their nervous hearts in their throats. Because, at this moment, they could already clearly understand
Seeing the ferocious faces of the Japanese army, what made these company commanders even more anxious was that if their first battalion did not control the distance of 50 meters well, the Japanese army would only need ten seconds to rush to them.
position, mixed with his soldiers, and engaged in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.
Although everyone at this time had full confidence in their own combat effectiveness. However, due to the frequency of direct confrontations with the Japanese army, these company commanders believed that even if they could win in the end, the entire unit would also lose as many people as the Japanese army.
And such a result is impossible to accept for the first battalion that needs to defend its position.
However, to everyone's disappointment, his battalion commander did not give the order to fire because of everyone's anxiety. His eyes remained motionless, staring at the footsteps of the Japanese troops charging at the front. However, the only thing that changed was that
, the battalion commander, while observing the enemy's situation, gently loaded the audience's machine gun bullets and was ready to fire...
"45 meters...40 meters...35 meters...30 meters..." At this moment, the palms of all the soldiers holding weapons were sweating because the numbers in the battalion commander's mouth were getting smaller and smaller. One battalion
The corners of his long mouth finally slowly revealed a smile without anyone knowing.
"Fire..." Finally, when everyone could no longer wait, a battalion commander shouted loudly to the soldiers who were hidden in the trenches and had already prepared for battle. At the same time, the first one popped out of the trenches.
With his own head, he quickly placed the loaded light machine gun on the trench in front of him. He pulled the trigger of the machine gun at the little Japs in front of him and started shooting indiscriminately.
At the same time, all the heavy machine gunners who had received the order, working in groups of several, also quickly placed heavy machine guns on the machine gun positions that had been selected. At the same time, the deputy shooter quickly removed the bullet chain in his hand.
The machine gun shooter was in the magazine feeding the bullets. The machine gun shooter quickly loaded the bullets, facing the little Japanese who was already close at hand, and began to pull the trigger, spraying bullets towards the formation of the Japanese army.
Among….
As for the riflemen, it was even simpler. As the battalion commander issued the order, they immediately stood upright from their stance. Facing the little Japs in front of them in an extremely dense formation, they did not need to take any aim at all.
, he fired the bullet that was already loaded in the rifle...
"Da da da..." A burst of intensive machine gun shooting mixed with a burst of neat volleys of gun fire began to sound on the forward position that had been messed up by Japanese artillery fire. It was shot by 7 heavy machine guns and a dozen light machine guns.
The dense flames instantly weaved an airtight net of bullets in front of the little Japs. Barriered by this dense net of bullets, the more than 60 little Japs charging in the front row could only be opened fire by the soldiers.
In less than five seconds, they all fell into a pool of blood.
At the same time, because the little devil was charging at the fastest speed at this time, hoping that he could be the first to rush to the Eighth Route Army's forward position, he did not expect that he might be attacked by the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, in the face of a sudden attack
When the blow came, these little devils had forgotten that they should at least be concealed. These arrogant little devils still did not react from their excitement.
However, the slow response of the Japanese army provided a great convenience to the soldiers on the position. Looking at the little Japanese who was still standing upright and charging, the soldiers did not hesitate and used their own strength to charge.
With the fastest shooting speed, he fired the bullets in the magazine at the little devil in front of him...
Finally, the intensive gunfire brought back these little devils who were completely in a state of excitement... Looking at the dozens of tongues of flames that suddenly appeared in front of their eyes in the dark night, they looked at the pieces of people lying in a pool of blood around them.
The comrades-in-arms. Those little Japs who recovered from the excitement immediately lay down on the ground instinctively, and luckily escaped the dense rain of bullets above their heads.
However, at this moment, after a fierce attack by the first battalion, the little devil sadly discovered that in the attack just now by the Eighth Route Army, only a few of the nearly two hundred imperial soldiers in his squadron were left.
The strength of one small team. More importantly, the remaining small team was motionless under the intense firepower of the Eighth Route Army, unable to even fight back.
"The machine gun continues to fire at me. All the riflemen will drop bombs immediately. Two grenades per person. Give me two grenades to blow up all the remaining little Japs back to their hometowns..." Looking at the little Japs who only had a small team left, all of them
Lying on the ground. The dense rain of bullets fired from his position could not do any damage at all. The battalion commander shouted an order to the soldiers around him.
"Woooooooo..." A slight whistling sound, through the sound of intensive bullet shooting, reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield. More than 300 grenades were fired one after another by the soldiers as the battalion commander's order was issued.
They were thrown out of the trenches. Relying on their commanding and powerful terrain, almost every soldier could throw the grenade fifty meters away.
In an instant, a distance of thirty to fifty meters away from the forward position was completely covered by raindrops of grenades. Looking at the dense grenades suddenly appearing above their heads, those who were just thinking that they could survive
The little devil felt a little lucky and immediately let out a desperate scream.
"Boom, boom, boom..." A burst of dense grenade explosions quickly covered up the screams of the little devils before they died. Under such a dense attack of grenades, the surviving little devils were not killed on the spot.
, in the process of dodging grenades, he was hit by bullets flying above his head, and fell into a pool of blood one after another...
Less than half a minute passed between the throwing of two rounds of grenades and the explosion. As the last grenade exploded in front of the position, the machine gunners who were shooting wildly on the position also stopped at the order of the battalion commander.
Such a waste of ammunition. In an instant, the entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence...
After the continuous explosion of more than 600 grenades, the remaining dozens of little Japs in a squadron, without any doubt, all fell into a pool of blood. There was not even an injured soldier. On the battlefield, because of the grenades
Under the illumination of the bonfire ignited by the explosion, a battlefield like Shura Hell appeared in the eyes of everyone on both sides of the enemy.
"Vomit..." Along with the pungent smell of blood, it spread to the forward positions. Those soldiers who had never experienced such a battle immediately lay down in the trenches and began to vomit. Even some recruits could endure the sting.
The smell of blood filled their noses, but when they saw a battlefield dozens of meters away with broken limbs and corpses and internal organs everywhere, they began to vomit.
"Order everyone to retreat immediately into the artillery-proof cave. According to the little devil's temper, after learning that one of his squadrons has been completely wiped out, he will definitely launch a retaliatory bombardment...Immediately execute the order and retreat...|" Looking at Shura like hell
On the battlefield, the first battalion commander did not have any pity. Because those who were killed and their bodies were no longer alive were none other than little devils who could not even survive as animals.
"Yes, battalion commander..." Several company commanders took the order and left, taking all the weapons and ammunition, supporting the recruits who were vomiting and diarrhea, and quickly hid in the anti-gun cave...
At this moment, Major Matsuda, captain of the Japanese 1st Battalion, Colonel Ishiguro, captain of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, and other officers were standing on the ground in a daze, looking at the battlefield not far away motionless.
All the commanders above the captain of the Second Infantry Regiment seemed to be petrified at the same time...
"Baga! How could this happen? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Isn't this true?" After seeing with my own eyes that an elite infantry squadron, under the intense machine gun fire of the Eighth Route Army, didn't even have a chance to counterattack, the entire army
Destroyed. Major Matsuda, captain of the First Battalion, who had been paying attention to the entire battle, asked in disbelief. At the same time, the hands holding the telescope could not help but begin to tremble.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the Wing Commander sent a telegram asking you to rush to the Wing Headquarters immediately..." Just as Major Matsuda finished speaking, a messenger ran up to the Captain at an inappropriate time and said loudly. Although, at this time,
At this moment, Major Matsuda wanted to kill someone very much to vent his anger. However, after seeing that the messenger in front of him turned out to be the regimental commander's personal guard, he immediately gave up this idea.
Because, he knew that at this moment, the reason why the commander of the regiment was so anxious to find himself. Thinking of this, the commander of the regiment, Major Matsuda, couldn't help but sweat began to break out on his forehead. He quickly followed the messenger and headed towards the regiment not far away.
The team headquarters ran over.
"Baga, Matsuda-kun, for your great stupidity, an elite infantry squadron was ruined because of your stupidity. You have to pay the price for your stupidity. Now I order you, for the sake of those shattered imperial soldiers,
Here, please apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. You are no longer qualified as an officer of the empire." Looking at the captain of the First Battalion in front of him, the captain Ishiguro cursed loudly.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain, I will definitely not disgrace the reputation of the Imperial Army. However, before I die, I would like to ask Your Excellency, Captain, to give me another chance. I will lead the remaining members of the First Brigade.
Three infantry squadrons captured the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, avenging all the officers and men of the First Squadron. Please approve the last request of this humble post..." After a look of despair, the captain, Matsuda Major, hurriedly faced the man in front of him.
the captain begged.
"Yo Xi, considering that you have made many military exploits for the empire, I will give you another chance. If you can lead your men and successfully occupy the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army, for the battle that just happened, I will
I will let bygones be bygones. However, if you cannot seize the Eighth Route Army's forward position, then, Matsuda-kun, there is nothing I can do?" Captain Ishiguro nodded and took a deep look at Major Matsuda in front of him.
"Hey, please rest assured, Captain. If I cannot occupy the forward position of the Eighth Route Army, I will directly apologize to His Majesty the Emperor in front of the Eighth Route Army's position..." Major Matsuda replied loudly.
"Yoshi, Matsuda-kun, I believe in your ability. I will go back immediately to organize the troops and prepare for the attack. I will order the artillery brigade to provide you with artillery support for ten minutes. After ten minutes, the troops will start to attack. Because time is limited, I will at most
I can only give you ten minutes to attack." In response to Major Matsuda's answer, commander Ishiguro nodded with satisfaction.
"Hi, thank you for the artillery support, your Excellency, the commander. I will definitely live up to the expectations of your Excellency, the commander..." Upon hearing that there were still ten minutes of artillery support, the captain, Major Matsuda, couldn't help but express excitement on his face, and quickly promised.
And just when Major Matsuda returned to the forefront of the position with the order, the artillery battalion's shelling had already begun. Just like the previous shelling, twenty artillery pieces of various types, as if the shells were free of charge, began to fight desperately
On the mountain ridge less than a hundred meters above sea level, cannonballs poured one after another.
However, although the Japanese artillery fire was very fierce, the entire Eighth Route Army's forward position was plunged into a sea of fire amid the intensive artillery fire. However, such artillery fire, for a battalion of soldiers who were all hidden in the artillery caves,
But it had no impact. After the first round of Japanese shelling and the battle just now, no one in the entire battalion, whether new recruits or veterans, was afraid of the Japanese shelling anymore. Every soldier was silent.
Sitting quietly in the bomb-proof cave, recuperating and replenishing enough energy for the possible battle that may occur later.
The ten-minute artillery bombardment was very short for the Japanese troops preparing to attack. Just three infantry squadrons, under the personal order of the captain Matsuda, formed three waves of attacks. Each attack formation was
There is a distance of fifty meters between each other. At the same time, each attacking Potts is divided into three skirmisher lines, and the distance between the skirmisher lines becomes a regular ten meters.
More importantly, in order to avoid the heavy firepower of the Eighth Route Army causing huge casualties to his troops, Major Matsuda paid special attention to the cooperation of various arms in his brigade. In each attack on Potts, machine gunners and grenades who served as fire cover
The gunners were arranged in the third skirmisher line one after another. On the premise of fully protecting the safety of these technical arms, they suppressed and destroyed all kinds of heavy firepower that might appear in the Eighth Route Army.
As the artillery brigade's artillery fire began to extend, the heavy machine gun squadron, which had once again moved fifty meters forward, with 12 heavy machine guns, immediately began to perform minimal fire suppression. Under the command of the captain, Major Matsuda, almost every shot
Under the control of the Japanese army, heavy machine gun bullets were always stuck to the edge of the trenches in the forward positions. As long as the Eighth Route Army dared to expose their heads, needless to say, their brains would be burst by the hail of flying bullets...
"Warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, I now give the order to start the attack... kill everyone..." Looking at the attack formation he personally arranged, Captain Matsuda, his face was full of confidence. He drew out his sakan sword and pointed it at
All the officers and soldiers of the second squadron in front of them gave loud orders.
"Kill..." Two hundred little Japs, with the captain personally supervising the battle, shouted slogans, lined up in a neat offensive formation, and began to charge under the cover of heavy machine guns... And in the second squadron
When they rushed out of the position fifty meters away, the Third Squadron also joined the charge at the command of Captain Matsuda... Finally, the Fourth Squadron also joined the charge under the personal command of Major Matsuda.
"Battal Commander, Instructor, the Japs have begun to attack..." Just as the Japanese artillery fire began to extend and the sound of Japanese heavy machine gun fire was heard at the foot of the mountain, reminders from the surviving soldiers immediately rang out from the trenches outside the anti-gun cave.
Voice.
"Comrades, hurry up and enter the position immediately... The little devils have begun to attack..." Immediately, orders from commanders at all levels rang out on the position. Soldiers, one after another, under the command of commanders at all levels, led
Holding their own weapons, they filed out of the gun-proof hole where they were hiding and ran towards their fighting position.
However, what the soldiers did not expect was that just when a few soldiers entered the trench and stretched out their heads to observe the enemy's situation, the bullets fired by the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron close to the edge of the trench immediately hit the bullets of several soldiers.
Their heads were beaten to pieces. Several soldiers died heroically without even seeing the shadow of the Japanese army...
"Damn, the little devil's marksmanship is so accurate. Comrades, please pay attention. Everyone has seen the soldiers who have just died. The enemy's marksmanship is very accurate. Without my order, no one can expose it.
Your own head...Remember, you must pay attention to concealment and protect yourself, so that you can better fight against the Japs..." Seeing several soldiers whose brains were burst by bullets from Japanese heavy machine guns, a battalion commander felt heartbroken.
, shouted loudly at the soldiers who were quickly entering the position.
In less than a minute, except for a few unlucky soldiers who were shot and sacrificed, the remaining 450 or so soldiers of the entire battalion were all hidden in the trenches, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army. As the commander of the entire battle
The commander of the first battalion found a blind spot for the Japanese heavy machine guns and slowly stretched out his head.
"Oh my god, we just lost one squadron of brats. Why are these Japanese troops so eager to jump over the wall? There are five to six hundred brats. The Japanese commander really thinks highly of our first battalion..." Looking at the densely packed Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain, the first battalion
The leader couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and said to the instructor beside him.
