"Baga, the Eighth Route Soldiers dare to attack the Walnut Garden. Order the Second Squadron to defend resolutely, and the cavalry squadron to counterattack the Eighth Route Soldiers at any time." After listening to the Ensign's enemy situation report, Major Nakaharu Ichiro cursed loudly, and at the same time, the Ensign's face
There are two more palm prints on it.
"Click, click, click... Boom..." Under the cover of heavy machine guns and mountain artillery, the first and second battalions launched tentative attacks respectively. Under the suppression of heavy firepower, the Japanese on the wall were killed from time to time. "
"Boom" a shell fell next to the Japanese Lieutenant, and the Lieutenant was thrown into the sky together with a Type 92 heavy machine gun next to him... Although the regiment used fierce heavy firepower to cover it, but the Japanese army did not
Fearing death, the first battalion retreated after more than a dozen soldiers were killed.
However, as a squadron defending the city, the Japanese army also suffered the death of more than 100 soldiers, including the squadron leader.
Seeing the first battalion carrying the remains of more than a dozen soldiers, the political commissar did not criticize, and then ordered, "The artillery company should not save artillery shells. Each gun is allowed to fire 10 shells today. First battalion commander, lead your first battalion and continue the charge.
Your mission is not to capture the walnut orchard, your mission is to use firepower to destroy the enemy's effective forces as much as possible, so that the enemy can ask for help from Banqiao."
"Then, one battalion and one company began to charge. As soon as they came into contact with the Japanese, they retreated and then changed to the next company to continue the charge.
In this way, Major Haruichiro Nakaharu, the commander of Walnut Garden, could no longer endure the hour-long casualty data in his hands. Just one hour into the battle, one lieutenant and two second lieutenants had been killed, and nearly two hundred imperial soldiers had been killed.
Under the fierce artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army, only two heavy machine guns were left, and less than ten light machine guns were left.
"Baga, pick up Lieutenant Colonel Yamada from Banqiao." The major finally began to ask for help.
"I am reporting to Mr. Yamada that about two regiments of the Eighth Route Army are carrying mountain artillery and mortars and are attacking the walnut orchard. Our unit has suffered heavy casualties. I hope you will come to the rescue quickly." Major said in a low voice.
"Baga, where is the courage of your empire? How can the warriors of the empire be afraid of the cowardly soldiers of the Eighth Route Army? I order you to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. This time we must annihilate all the Eighth Route soldiers outside the walnut orchard for the future.
The 300 Imperial soldiers who were killed in a few days took revenge." After hearing the Major's request for help, Yamada said angrily.
"Hey, for the sake of the bushido spirit of the empire, I will lead my men to guard the walnut orchard until all of them are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." After listening to Yamada's words, the major replied at attention.
"Yoshi, the warriors of your empire, I will definitely report to Colonel Kawa Sanada of the Imperial Guard. Two squadrons of reinforcements will arrive in four hours."
"Hi!" Major put down the phone.
Soon the last squadron of Walnut Garden was also driven onto the city wall.
Liu Hua's temporary headquarters, Liu Hua and the chief of staff were sitting on a grenade box studying the map. A telegram was passed to Liu Hua's hands. It turned out that the soldiers of the cavalry battalion hiding near Banqiao saw the Japanese leaving the city and quickly sent them to Liu Hua.
The enemy's troops and equipment were sent over the radio.
"Chief of Staff, the Japanese have dispatched two squadrons, a heavy machine gun squad and a mountain artillery squad, with a total of more than 500 people," Liu Hua said and handed over the telegram.
"Brigadier, this time we are the real elite of the Japanese, and they are hard-core!" the chief of staff sighed when he saw the Japanese equipment on the telegram.
"Yes, but no matter how hard the bone is, I will chew it off today."
At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Yamada was riding on a war horse. After receiving the telegram from the players in Walnut Garden, Yamada thought about what kind of military merit it would be to destroy this group of Eighth Route soldiers, and then he gathered soldiers from two squadrons without stopping and led them
Following a machine gun squad, an artillery squad came out of the bridge and rushed towards the walnut orchard.
The reason why he only brought two squadrons was that Yamada believed that with the two reinforced squadrons in his hands, plus the two squadrons from Walnut Garden, and a cavalry squadron, the strength of more than one brigade would be able to defeat the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army soldiers.
(You know, in history, a brigade of the Japanese army and a division of the Chinese army were completely defeated. "At this time, Yamada was full of confidence in the coming battle. He kept urging the troops to speed up their march.
"Brigade commander, the cavalry battalion reports that the team is led by a Japanese lieutenant colonel." The chief of staff said with a smile.
"Haha, Chief of Staff, it seems that the Japanese are taking good care of us. They just killed a major two days ago, and today another lieutenant came. Tell Luo Zhi of the sniper company, just as I said, we must be on the first line
It's time to kill the Japanese lieutenant." Liu Hua said seriously.
"Tell the troops to prepare for battle."
Soon, two hours passed. Yamada was very tired after riding for two hours, but when he thought about the results of defeating the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army, he gritted his teeth and continued to order the troops to move forward. Suddenly, a second lieutenant ran away.
Go to Yamada's horse and salute.
"I'm reporting to you, Lieutenant Colonel, here is the place where 300 imperial soldiers were shattered a few days ago. Do you want to order the troops to rest and recuperate before advancing after the reconnaissance team returns?" the second lieutenant said loudly.
"Baga, are the Eighth Route Army so stupid? Will they set up ambush twice in a row at the same place? You stupid pig, you said and deleted it with a slap in the face."
"Hi!" The second lieutenant endured the burning pain on his face and turned around and ran towards his team at the front of the team. The paused team started marching again.
Liu Hua stood at the lookout of the headquarters, holding a telescope and smiling at the performance of the Japanese lieutenant colonel. He said with a smile: "Let's see if you can still be proud for a few minutes, and you will be waiting for bullets later!" In one sentence, the headquarters was nervous.
The atmosphere was broken, and many people pursed their lips and laughed.
Order the troops to take cover. Liu Hua changed his smiling face and said seriously.
Soon, more than 500 Japanese soldiers slowly walked into the ambush circle of the Independent Brigade. Through the telescope, the faces of the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain could be seen clearly.
"Bang" a bullet hit Yamada's head, and the red blood and white brain matter stained the whole head terribly. Lieutenant Colonel Yamada fell down on his horse with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Just when the sniper company commander Luo Zhi fired the first shot, almost all the light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns of the entire independent brigade opened fire at once, and dozens of mortars and shells were sent to the Japanese marching column.
In addition to being confused at the first moment of being attacked, the marching Japanese soldiers immediately fell down and looked for cover after knowing that they were surrounded. But is the independent brigade so easy to deal with? After the first ambush
After learning the lesson from the battle, the soldiers of the Independent Brigade cleared all the obstacles that blocked the view. Anyway, there had been an ambush here, and the enemy would not have any doubts if the terrain was changed.
The Japs are now lying on the roadside at the foot of the mountain, and the hillside has completely become a target for the soldiers. Although the Japs' precise marksmanship has caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers, the soldiers still continue to aim and shoot without fear, and
Those machine gun shooters focused on taking care of the Japanese light machine gun shooters. "Almost all the heavy machine gun shooters were suppressed and beaten by the soldiers of the sniper company."
The enemy's light machine gun had just fired a few bullets, and was soon stared at by several light and heavy machine guns. In this way, all the light machine guns on the enemy's position could only fire intermittently, which did not have much impact on the soldiers hiding in the trenches.
Influence.
At this moment, the Japs on the position began to move. Under the cover of some people, the living Japs began to drag the corpses on the ground to gather them together. "Could it be that the Japs knew they were going to fail and wanted to cremate the dead soldiers under bullets?"
." Liu Hua thought incredulously.
Soon, the mystery was solved. It turned out that the Japanese had slowly gathered the corpses, almost forming a simple bulletproof fortification.
"No, brigade commander, the Japanese are going to use corpses to pile up fortifications." Just as the chief of staff was speaking, two simple bunkers had been formed. Two light machine guns were mounted on the bunkers and started crazy cover shooting. Soon, the Second Regiment
Several light machine guns on the first battalion's position misfired.
