Taizhou bloody battle
"Chirp, chirp, chirp..." Three short and sharp whistling sounds sounded in the quiet night sky. Immediately after, three gorgeous and dazzling flares appeared in the dark sky.
"Fire, fire...boom, boom, boom...boom..." For a time, all the mortar groups and mountain artillery groups hidden around Tai'an City launched an unprecedented attack on the current Japanese position at almost the same time.
A fierce artillery fire attack. In just a moment, the Japanese forward positions outside Tai'an City, east, west, north and south were completely enveloped by heavy artillery fire.
Although the brief artillery attack caught the Japanese army by surprise, after more than a month of emergency repairs, the defenses under the Japanese army were no longer as simple as a trench. Instead, they were a dense and intricate group of trenches. Intensive mortars
After the first two rounds of artillery fire caused dozens of casualties to the Japanese army, they never achieved even the slightest result.
However, even if the intensive artillery fire did not achieve the huge results imagined, the shocking scene caused by the artillery fire still increased the confidence of the offensive troops, that is, the commanders and soldiers at all levels of the Seventh Corps, to a certain extent. Because
They believed that under such fierce artillery fire, the Japanese troops on the opposite side would be blown to pieces.
"Comrades, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. The bombardment is over. Next, it is our turn... The grenades should be fired according to the original shooting target. The machine guns will serve as cover. Everyone has them, and we will launch a charge immediately..." Liang Liang
Taking out a crooked-handled light machine gun that had already been loaded with bullets, company commander Yan Yufa shouted loudly to the more than 100 soldiers behind him who were also lying in front of the Japanese position, hiding and waiting...
"Click, click, click...boom, bang, bang..." Dozens of crooked light machine guns first sprayed out ten dense tongues of fire. Followed by more than a hundred soldiers, like a group of angry lions
.Under the leadership of platoon leader Yan Yufa, they formed a huge triangle offensive formation and pounced towards the Japanese position.
"Baga, the cunning Japanese are hiding right in front of our position. Quick, fight back immediately. Heavy machine guns, fire immediately. We must block the Japanese offensive and push them back..."
." Looking at the Japanese frontline position a hundred meters away, dense tongues of flames suddenly appeared all over the position and a large black mass of charging people. After a brief shock, Captain Hirano, the Japanese squadron leader, immediately raised the command knife in his hand.
Looking at the heavy machine gunner beside him, he gave a loud order...
"Da da da..." Three heavy machine guns, under the control of three machine gunners, quickly spit out three hot tongues of fire. Like three scythes harvesting life, they swept towards the company's offensive formation, preparing to harvest the opposite side.
The lives of nearly a hundred soldiers in a row.
"Yo Xi, the Great *** Empire is invincible. Cunning *** people, I must kill all of you today, so that you can taste the power of the Great *** Empire's imperial army..." Heavy Machine Gun
After firing, there was a sneer, followed by a shout from the confident mouth of Captain Hirano. However, the next scene made the confident Captain Hirano open his mouth and be stunned.
I can’t even tell…..
In front of me, a company a hundred meters away, as if they had been rehearsed, all lay on the ground and began to raise their rifles to fight back.
"Bang bang bang...ah...baga..." Several screams reached the ears of Captain Hirano. The three heavy machine gun operators immediately let out a scream and fell into a pool of blood. They had given high expectations just now.
The three heavy machine guns also stood alone on the position because they lost their shooters.
The death of the three machine gunners one after another shocked Captain Hirano to a certain extent. However, the contrast between the imperial army's invincibility and the cowardice and incompetence of the Chinese army was deeply ingrained in his heart.
Therefore, in just a moment, Captain Hirano roared loudly and ordered the candidate shooter to continue shooting.
However, what Captain Hirano didn't expect was that at this moment, more than a hundred meters away, there were several sharpshooters watching these three heavy machine guns. Anyone who dared to operate the machine guns would immediately become the dead soul of their guns.
.
"Bang bang bang...ahhhh..." was another series of crisp rifle shooting sounds, which sounded very harsh on the battlefield. All the little devils who came close to the three heavy machine guns, without exception, were all shot directly in the head.
.Then, covered in blood, he fell into a pool of blood, motionless.
"Asshole, it's a sniper. The Japanese must have snipers... grenades, fire immediately to eliminate the Japanese snipers, fire quickly..." After decisively abandoning the three heavy machine guns, Captain Hirano promptly fired
He adjusted his deployment. He hoped that the grenades that the imperial army relied on for survival could deliver a fatal blow to the East China Field Army on the opposite side...
However, just as the grenade launchers started bombarding, a series of dense explosions reached his ears from the rear of his position. There were only six grenade launchers in the entire squadron, and the mortars of the East China Field Army,
Under the sudden combined attack of the grenade launchers, more than half of them were lost in an instant. The remaining two, facing the artillery shells that might come again at any time, had to carry weapons and begin to move positions in a hurry.
Under the suppression of the snipers of the East China Field Army, the heavy machine guns had no chance to fire. Under the counterattack of the enemy's mortar group, more than half of the grenade launchers were lost before they were officially launched, and they lost their combat capabilities. As a battle-hardened weapon,
Captain Hirano, who had a certain understanding of the Chinese *** team, found it difficult to accept this very novel style of play that he had never seen before.
Of course, the deafening sound of gunfire on the battlefield forced him to accept this unbelievable reality. Then, he set his sights on the light machine gun and the rifleman.
Because in the blink of an eye, the six crooked guns equipped by his standard infantry squadron were also hit by the enemy's sporadic grenade launchers, and he had to engage in so-called guerrilla warfare. He fired one shot and moved to another place.
....With this kind of fighting method, for the crooked light machine gun with a high failure rate, the bullets it fires are not even as good as an ordinary rifle, and it cannot form any firepower density at all.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is that after losing the fire cover of light and heavy machine guns, more than a hundred imperial infantry had to lower their heads helplessly under the suppression of dense flames fired by a row of seven machine guns on the opposite side.
, unable to organize any substantive counterattack at all.
"Brothers, the little devils have been suppressed by us and cannot move. It's time to let them taste the power of our company. Li Yuqing, take your platoon and immediately attack the enemy. Use grenades to give me a fierce greeting.
The little Japs on the opposite side. The second and third platoons, the guard squad, all have bayonets fixed and are ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the little Japs. Eliminate all the little Japs and occupy the position...Comrades, charge..." Seeing that the opportunity to attack has come, the company
The long, jade-haired face was immediately shrouded in excitement. He shouted loudly to the more than a hundred soldiers behind him.
"Brothers, charge, kill all the little devils... Ta-ta-ta-ta..." As soon as Yan Yufa's words finished, the voice of platoon leader Li Yuqing followed closely and rang out on the battlefield. At the same time, three soldiers
The crooked light machine gun, also in the arms of the soldiers, spurted out three hot tongues of fire, accurately shooting at the Japanese positions...
One hundred meters, ninety meters, eighty meters...fifty meters. In the blink of an eye, the remaining twenty people in a row rushed within the grenade throwing range.
"Comrades, take cover immediately and throw grenades. Throw all the grenades on your body to me to cover the follow-up troops and continue their assault..." Platoon leader Li Yuqing quickly lay on the ground while manipulating the crooked handle in his hand and continued
He fired at the Japanese positions and gave orders to the troops behind him to throw grenades.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodates, the Japanese army positions were once again shrouded in gunpowder smoke amidst the continuous explosions of nearly a hundred grenades. At the same time, the Japanese troops who had just returned
Some sporadic retaliatory gunfire that appeared also disappeared along with the sound of explosions.
"Brothers, all mount bayonets and follow me..." Under the cover of gunpowder smoke, the remaining two main platoons, more than seventy people, immediately stood up with bayonets shining in their hands. Under the personal leadership of company commander Yan Yufa
, like a bloodthirsty lion half, quickly rushed towards the Japanese position...
Amidst the intensive explosions of grenades, the remaining dozens of Japanese soldiers were stabbed to death by sudden bayonets before they could react from the shock. The expected fierce and cruel hand-to-hand combat, in a series of
With effective tactics, it only lasted less than five minutes and ended successfully.
"Company commander, no one of the Japanese troops in the forward position slipped through the net, and they were all wiped out by our army. Among them, 12 soldiers from the first platoon were killed and four were seriously injured. The second and third platoons lost 16 soldiers and 12 were seriously injured. After this
During the battle, I wiped out 218 Japs in one company and seized three heavy machine guns, two grenade launchers, four light machine guns, more than 100 rifles, and a batch of ammunition..." Instructor Zhang Guangwu reported with excitement.
road.
"Well done, correspondent. Please report this battle report to the regiment headquarters immediately. Our company has successfully occupied the Japanese forward positions and completely wiped out a strengthened Japanese squadron..." After winning the first battle, Company Commander Yan Yufa also had an excited look on his face.
