War always comes suddenly. Neither the Japanese army nor the Third Company of the Independent Battalion stationed here expected to encounter the enemy so soon.
The newly appointed company commander Wang Dashan was originally leading the soldiers to seize the time to build fortifications. It was not until the sentry in charge of the alert issued an alarm that he learned that the Japanese troops had crossed the city center and arrived here. But now that they had encountered it, what else was there to say?
, just start playing!
Wang Dashan, who was born in the Sichuan Army, is a typical Sichuanese. He enjoys eating anything spicy. His personality also inherits the chili pepper side. In the local dialect, his temperament is also very "spicy".
When he saw hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushing over in a dark and swaggering manner, he shouted the word "fight" in his mouth.
Equipped with three consecutive nine MG34 machine guns, they opened fire. The rain of bullets swept down more than half of the unprepared Japanese army. After leaving more than a hundred corpses, the Japanese army realized that they had encountered the national army.
Organizational resistance.
The captain of the First Battalion, Harada Daiki, Lieutenant Colonel Harada Daiki, who was originally furious after suffering a sudden blow, launched three attacks in a row and was beaten to a bloody head. Only then did he wake up and found out that the Chinese defenders on the opposite side had such
The fierce firepower actually knocked his men and horses into disarray.
Just when Harada Daiki was helpless, captain Hayato Takeda finally arrived. The scene in front of him almost drove Hayato Takeda crazy. When did the majestic warriors of the Japanese Empire even suppress the opponent like this? The defenders on the opposite side were still
The Chinese army is known for its poor equipment and low morale?
Under the order of Takeda Hayato, the First Battalion of the Forty-seventh Regiment of the Sixth Division dispatched another squadron of soldiers to launch an attack forward under the cover of smoke bombs.
"Dong dong dong..."
After receiving the order, the Japanese grenade team immediately fired several smoke grenades in front, and soon the street was immediately shrouded in smoke.
"Kill me..."
Seeing that the streets hundreds of meters ahead were shrouded in smoke, Harada Daiki immediately waved his command sword and gave an order. More than two hundred Japanese troops divided into several teams and rushed forward along the sides of several streets...
In a building, a soldier pointed to the yellow smoke in front and shouted to Wang Dashan in panic: "Poison gas bombs, the company commander has fired poison gas bombs!"
At this time, Wang Dashan led the third company to huddle in a dozen houses near the street. Nine MG34 machine guns and four M2 Browning heavy machine guns were set up inside. Just now, they were condescendingly using machine guns to attack several nearby houses.
Every street entrance was tightly blocked, and the Japanese soldiers were beaten to death.
Now seeing the Japanese army firing smoke into the machine room, some soldiers who mistakenly thought the Japanese army had fired poison gas bombs at them began to panic.
Wang Dashan carefully observed him and patted him on the head before saying: "Idiot, that's not a gas bomb, that's a smoke bomb fired by the Japs. Everyone cheered up. The Japs are about to attack again. They all opened their eyes."
Keep your eyes open, the machine gun will start firing blindly!"
The so-called blind shooting means that when the target cannot be clearly seen, the shooter blindly shoots at the originally intended target and uses powerful firepower to prevent the opponent from advancing.
As soon as Wang Dashan gave the order, four or five machine guns began to shoot blindly.
Listening to the fierce gunfire, Wang Dashan was still worried. Having dealt with the Japanese army, he knew very well that it was difficult to stop the fast-moving Japanese army by blind shooting alone. It would be troublesome if the Japanese army rushed to the front. There were only more than a hundred
Although he is the most powerful person, he cannot stop the attack of thousands of people from the other side.
Wang Dashan thought for a moment and grabbed the telephone next to him and rang the church phone, "Hey... is this the artillery company? I am Wang Dashan, commander of the third company. The Japanese are attacking our company under the cover of smoke bombs.
Request artillery support to cover area No. 3 and No. 4 at fixed points! Repeat, request artillery fire to cover area No. 3 and No. 4!"
After Wang Dashan finished speaking, a concise voice came from the microphone after a while: "The artillery battery understands! Artillery support will be here soon!"
Less than half a minute passed, a low "dong dong" sound came from the sky, and then the first artillery shell fell on a building next to the street. Then there was an explosion, and the house was immediately destroyed.
A corner collapsed.
Immediately following the explosion of the cannonball, cannonballs fell one after another.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Soon more than a dozen artillery shells landed on several nearby street entrances, and dozens of Japanese soldiers were covered by this sudden bombing.
The sudden bombing not only killed a large number of Japanese soldiers, but the air waves when the shells exploded also stirred up strong winds. Most of the smoke that originally filled the air was lifted away, exposing more than 200 Japanese soldiers who were launching the attack to the defenders.
In front of the army.
Seeing the Japanese army suddenly appearing in front of him, Wang Dashan shouted to the machine gunner beside him: "Hit... hit me hard!"
Without Wang Dashan's orders, the machine gunners beside him had already adjusted their muzzles and fired desperately at the exposed Japanese soldiers. The dense rain of bullets swept the unprepared Japanese soldiers to the ground, and the remaining Japanese soldiers again
He didn't dare to launch an attack, he could only lie on the ground and didn't dare to move.
"hiss……"
Looking at the Japanese troops in front who were suppressed by the firepower of the defenders, Takeda Hayato took a breath of cold air, glanced at Harada Daiki on the side, and then said slowly: "So, no wonder you are stopped here by the Chinese.
You were not defeated unjustly!"
Harada Daiki's face turned red, and then he said with shame: "Your Excellency, I'm sorry. It's my incompetence that failed to capture the Chinese position. Please punish me."
Takeda Hayato snorted, "What's the use of talking about this now? The most important thing now is how to break through the Chinese position. Everything else is futile. You'd better withdraw the squadron in front first."
"Hai!"
When the attacking squadron retreated, the originally packed squadron of more than 280 people now had less than 200 people. The huge number of casualties made Harada Daiki's face look even more sad.
He sighed: "The firepower of these Chinese people is really..."
Harada Daiki couldn't go on talking at this point. He looked at the several buildings in front of him that were being fired at wildly by the machine guns, with a sad expression on his face. A large section of the street here had been flattened by artillery fire, and there were a hundred people in the middle.
Many meters of open space, other places are now being violently bombarded by mortars from the Chinese defenders, and they are still extending forward. Clouds of dust are brought into the sky, and the buildings are bombarded by mortar shells.
Pieces collapsed.
Looking at the constant explosions ahead, Takeda Hayato had a lot of mysteries in his heart, and whispered: "What happened to these Chinese people? Do they have so many artillery shells that they have no place to put them, and they want to use artillery shells to flatten this place?"
?"
"Swish...boom..."
Two 80-mm mortar shells landed near Takeda Hayato and exploded, blasting two Japanese soldiers who were avoiding the gunfire into the air.
The experienced Takeda Hayato immediately shouted: "No, the Chinese artillery fire has begun to extend, let's retreat quickly!"
While being chased by artillery fire, Takeda Hayato and Harada Daiki and others escaped in embarrassment with the help of the cover of buildings on both sides of the street.
When Takeda Hayato and others broke away from contact with the Chinese defenders, he immediately reported to his direct superior, Major General Tokutaro Sakai, commander of the 11th Brigade, and requested the brigade to send a field artillery unit to support
, and also transferred the six Type 92 infantry cannons under his command, and a fierce battle was about to begin again...
