On the afternoon of December 5, 1937, Japanese troops appeared near Niushou Mountain.
However, what displeased the Japanese soldiers who had just arrived was that they were shot as soon as they saw the ridge.
Likewise, the troops at the front are cavalry, motorcycles, and fast troops riding bicycles. When pursuing, everyone uses similar tactics to prevent the enemy whose morale has been broken from stopping.
unless……
As the most advanced cavalry squad, everyone stood there in a daze.
Their men fell off their horses, but no one knew why. And it was not just one person who fell, but a dozen people wearing officer uniforms.
From Commander Cao up, more than twenty officers, messengers and even buglers with bugles almost fell to the ground and died together.
Damn it, there is no gunfire, where are the bullets...
Under the inertial thinking, the soldiers riding horses, sitting on motorcycles, or even riding bicycles looked at each other in a daze. Their eyes turned back and forth between the dead bodies and the quiet environment around them.
"咻咻咻咻..."
Another attack with more than 20 rounds of bullets, but as usual there was no gunfire.
"Enemy attack..."
Suddenly someone reacted and shouted, and all the soldiers almost fell to the ground together.
But it was too late, and suddenly there was a sound like a continuous tearing of canvas.
There was only one machine gun firing, but the rate of fire immediately defeated the forwards who were somewhat arrogant because of their consecutive victories. They hurriedly dropped their bicycles and ran backwards together on their motorcycles.
The terrible thing is that this is a plain, and the hills are undoubtedly in the hands of the defending side.
The officer among the Japanese soldiers who were still lying underground shouted,
"Grenade, grenade..."
The best weapon to deal with the machine guns of the national army is the grenade. But before the officer could finish shouting, a bullet that flew from nowhere penetrated his helmet.
Then the officer lying on the ground tilted his head and stopped shouting, and a stream of blood flowed down his increasingly pale cheeks.
"Sniper, sniper..."
A soldier who understood the situation shouted, but the development of the situation soon made him realize that what he shouted was absolutely correct.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Some unknown objects rose into the sky from the hills. They were like free-flying birds, gliding across the parabola to the top of the Japanese people. Unfortunately, the big artillery shell did not fall. Instead, it quickly rotated and dropped a series of submunitions from the projectile body.
.
Cluster bombs are the best weapon to deal with infantry. The five-kilogram warhead can carry fifteen clay-porcelain grenades.
The "107 Ground-to-Air Rocket Launcher" fires twelve rockets at a time, and this rocket can drop 180 clay grenades.
Two rocket launchers were used to attack the Japanese vanguard, directly firing up to 360 cluster submunitions at a time.
Of course, some of the submunitions of cluster bombs will not explode due to impact or other reasons. It doesn't matter that a small slow-burning charcoal strip can move it into a timed mine.
What is striking is that a series of submunitions formed a large exploding cloud of smoke on the ground like God frying beans.
No matter who it was, including Feng Shengfa who was observing with a telescope on the top of the mountain, they all asked questions in confusion.
"What kind of weapons are they, what shells are they? How...how..."
"It's probably some kind of home-made weapon made by the Four Lines Demon. When he was in the Sixings Warehouse...our gasoline barrel grenade launcher..."
"No matter what weapon it is, I'm afraid the little devil will have a good drink at the Niushou Mountain battlefield this time."
Regarding the ability of the Four Elements Demons to make homemade weapons, no one has any good ideas. Neither the Japanese army nor the Guo army who learned from the Japanese army have any good ideas.
This is also a fact. On the eve of mechanized warfare, the Japanese and French troops, who clung to the tactics of World War I, would be confused when they encountered weapons that could kill infantry in large numbers.
For example, on the Songhu battlefield, the Chinese infantry's interest in charging with large-caliber naval guns was undoubtedly caused by the passion of the soldiers and the stupidity of the commanders.
"Why don't you charge? They have obviously stunned the Japanese forwards. They..."
During the observation of the fruit troops on the mountain, the two strange weapons that had just fired the artillery fire were...sheep, those guys actually used the sheep to pull the artillery and retreated quickly.
This is not surprising. During the trench warfare of World War I, it was not a strange thing to use sheep to lead Mark Mi.
The original earth-made gun body weighed only a few hundred kilograms after firing the shells. It was also equipped with aircraft tires and axles found at the airport, so it should not be moved too lightly.
Not only did the rocket launcher escape, but the machine gun that had just fired quickly finished a box of ammunition, and then the machine gunner and deputy machine gunner quickly left on a three-wheeled motorcycle.
On the other hand, the Japanese forward, who had been bombed to pieces, was still lying on the ground and did not dare to move.
If you get closer you can hear the Japanese screaming,
"Don't move, don't move, there are snipers, and the snipers are still staring at us..."
It's a pity that this is a plain, and it's not easy to find a pit. However, in the barren fields in winter, those fields with tall grass growing up seem to have become a life-saving place.
One, two, a group, two groups, whether infantry or cavalry, all rushed towards the grass.
As long as you can avoid the silent sniper attack in the distance, that's fine.
However, it was a pity that when they all hid in the weeds, another series of "swish, swish, swish" sounds were heard, and then...
The grass in the entire farmland was ignited by clustered burning eggs. Japanese soldiers wearing Japanese military uniforms were running around on the grass with their bodies covered with flames, like rats that had become sperms. Soon they were burned and fell to the ground, as if
The fish that is about to be grilled will occasionally move.
"It's over, the Japanese vanguard is over,"
Then on the plain that was flat just now, some grass suddenly moved, and then people wearing ordinary people's clothes rushed forward.
They held bayonets tied to carrying poles in their hands, and silently rushed into the Japanese corpses that had just been blown up to pieces. They stabbed the corpses and collected loot at the same time.
"guerrillas?"
"That's the punishment camp of the paratrooper school. I don't know which city's prison it was, but it was composed of other gangsters who were captured. It seems good to use these people as death squads. We will use this trick in the future."
Although he said this, he also agreed in his heart that deserters and prisoners should be used as death squads. Feng Shengfa believed that letting these people contribute to the fight against Japan would save food from wasting.
It's just that he doesn't have that many snipers under his command, so he probably wouldn't dare send people from the punishment battalion to the battlefield alone.
Soon people from the punishment camp were running toward Niushou Mountain carrying ammunition and various weapons, especially a large number of steel helmets, on shoulder poles.
"This guy still likes steel helmets so much. The little devil is in trouble now..."
