On a moonless night, the two sides cannot see each other. But the human instinct to kill makes them try every means to make the other party appear in the light.
A row of people tripped and fell in the darkness, and suddenly various different moans came from the shock.
"Stop, stop, there's something underground..."
Some of the running Japanese soldiers stopped, but others were still running forward.
Then more people tripped and fell, and more people screamed. Along with the screams, occasionally some not-so-bright flames shot out at the feet of those people, and there were not-so-loud explosions.
"Bop boom..."
Flares lit up overhead, and it was only then that the Japanese soldiers, who had just crouched underground again, were shocked to find in front of them a series of barbed wire fences sticking to the ground.
They are not high, and you can cross them by just raising your legs. But when attacking at night, no one wants to stand up straight and use them as a target for others. They are drilled from underneath and wrapped loosely around the wood, and they will hang on someone at any time.
.
But one or two people who crossed over actually appeared, and then they stepped on the trap, and then each rolled around in the small grid formed by the barbed wire with their calves in their hands, and in an instant they were tightly entangled in the barbed wire.
Then feebly, like a man bitten by a vampire, they make feeble pleas,
"Ah, it hurts too much, kill me...kill me..."
"Help……"
"Bang bang" gunfire sounded, and the lighting egg was shattered by bullets and turned into sparks flying in the sky.
In the moment before the light of the illuminating egg faded, the Japanese who were lying on the edge of the barbed wire discovered that there were densely packed bamboo nails under the barbed wire.
The darkness re-counted the surroundings, and all Japanese soldiers were in trouble.
"boom……"
The grenade thrown by someone exploded, but the soft barbed wire had no place to bear force. As we all know, grenades are not very effective against barbed wire.
But now the people behind have no choice, because they didn't notice these low barbed wire fences covered with weeds beforehand.
Now it is impossible to clear it with artillery, which will take away a large number of our own people.
"Ladder, find some ladders and come in."
"Tank, call our tanks over..."
This is really a good idea. Only tanks can pass through such a barbed wire fence at this moment, and only they can pass through it if they are strong and strong.
As the walkie-talkies relayed the difficulties encountered by the frontline infantry to the rear, tanks and armored vehicles began to move. Just as they left the place where they had just opened fire, a strange scene suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Wow"
It was as if someone had torn apart the sky curtain, and the bright lights drove away the darkness in the sky. A bright light appeared in the sky above the Japanese army's position, and it was still wandering in the sky.
Then some triangular kites appeared in the sky, and then...
"Kite, the Four Elements Demon King will use the kite to throw bombs."
Suddenly, someone seemed to remember that in the Battle of Si Xing Warehouse, the "Si Xing Demon King" used a kite to blow up the artillery position.
People who hear it at first will find it strange, but then people with a high school education will tell everyone. With simple geometric knowledge, you can easily measure and calculate the relative position of the kite and the ground target based on known conditions.
As the "sky lanterns" lit up, something fell from under the kites, and then there were continuous explosions on the ground, and at the same time, blazing fire burned.
The Japanese soldiers who were blocked in front of the barbed wire fence looked behind, and there were whispers in the darkness.
"Asshole, they want to blow up our tanks."
"They were willing to sacrifice their lives just to blow up our tanks."
"It's stupid that a country with such a huge population and such a big country can be so backward."
"They can't make anything, they all rely on purchasing from abroad, but almost the whole world has banned them."
"It was still the Qing Dynasty at that time. They offended the whole world and have been subject to sanctions since their defeat."
"What you are saying is wrong. No one in this country really understands construction. Although the whole world has an arms embargo on them, no one prevents them from learning advanced knowledge. Think about our Meiji Restoration."
"Ah ha, our tank troops are fine, they are approaching us."
The last sound really brought hope to this group of Japanese soldiers who were stopped by the barbed wire fence.
The Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground supported their bodies with their arms and waited for their tanks to arrive before they got up and charged behind the tanks.
At this time, the flames that had just been dropped from the kite and tried to blow up the tank rose. This made many Japanese soldiers feel lucky that the tank was not burned, so the Chinese position would be easy to break through.
He raised his head and looked at the enemy position in the distance, which had been trembling under artillery fire.
What is puzzling is that the positions there are different from those of ordinary armies. There are no bunkers or trenches in sight. From a distance, it looks flat. God knows where the infantry are hiding there.
They still lit up their gunfire one by one, then disappeared, and then lit up their muzzle flashes on the dark ground.
No one can be seen.
The bullets fired buzzed, and the Japanese soldiers lying underground were constantly hit. They didn't know whether they were alive or dead. Also in the dark night, they couldn't even see where each other was.
But why can the other party beat their people to death like animals one by one?
Before they could figure it out, the sound of tracks crushing the ground came from behind. Then the machine guns on tanks and armored vehicles rang out.
The long muzzle flash was extremely bright at night, and a series of bullets were fired into the endless darkness ahead. It was not known whether they could hit anything.
But that doesn't matter. As long as the tank breaks through the opponent's barbed wire fence and opens up a path for charge, everything will be fine.
As the tanks arrived, the infantrymen who were lying on the ground got up from the ground to make way for the tanks and armored vehicles to charge.
The tracks rubbed against each other, making a loud "squeak" that irritated the soldiers' eardrums, but they happily followed the tank and headed towards the enemy's position.
The Japanese soldiers following the tanks were happy to be able to move forward again.
On the contrary, it is the charge that is blocked and trapped on the ground that is unobstructed, which is a troublesome situation.
The advancing tanks kept firing machine guns at the dark, seemingly deserted position ahead.
Occasionally, a long scream came from the darkness in front. It seemed that someone had been hit, which made the Japanese infantry following the tank very proud.
The Chinese also have tanks, which were obtained from Germany and were captured on the Songhu battlefield.
The Chinese troops never cooperated with each other, so when their tanks advanced, there was no infantry accompanying them.
You won't be able to get very far before you're hit by Japanese artillery.
However, from a brave point of view, those tanks are a bit like the legendary knights. Even when facing a large army, the cavalry will close the visors of their armor, then bend down and raise their lances to launch a heroic and fearless charge.
This is a bit like the spirit of Bushido and the chivalry of Westerners, which are all learned from us.
