Chapter 1101 Fighting a snake and hitting seven inches
Yes, even if more than 2,000 elite soldiers of the 79th Infantry Regiment were wiped out in one fell swoop, even now, the Chinese mortars still fall like raindrops on the mountain road, blasting the Imperial Japanese warriors as they run wild and proud.
They were completely devastated, even if the Chinese who occupied the high point fired loud gunshots, the imperial troops who were hiding in bunkers on the mountainside could not raise their heads.
However, there was still a hint of joy on Yueyue Yoshio's pale face.
Don't look at the arrogance of the Chinese now. As long as you give them 20 minutes, no, maybe 10 minutes, the firepower of the legendary "Tubal Road" that is short of ammunition will weaken, and the well-trained imperial warriors of the infantry brigade can attack all parts of the valley.
Gain a firm foothold everywhere, and then launch a counterattack based on the several commanding heights occupied.
When the bombers of the 38th Air Wing arrive, it will be the end of the "Tubal Road". The bare mountain ridges may provide them with cover from bullets from below, but bombs falling from the sky will definitely send them to hell.
As for whether one's own planes will be accidentally hit by bombs, Liangfu didn't worry about it last month. As long as those pilots don't have all shit in their heads, they will definitely lower themselves to a high enough altitude to shoot with machine guns or drop bombs. As for anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, "Tubal Road"
"Can there be one?"
What does it mean to heal the scar and forget the pain? This is it. As he watched his squads seize a few enough to cover the Japanese army on the 800-meter long mountain road, Yoshio Uetsuki apparently forgot that there were nearly 40 guns that were firing.
Mortars, let alone "Tubal Road", are beyond the reach of even a regular German weapon division of the Central Army.
What he encountered were two infantry battalions of the strongest infantry regiment in China of this era that Liu Lang had spent five years building, plus an infantry battalion of the Red Army that had truly emerged from the hail of bullets.
In one year, they marched 25,000 miles and experienced hundreds of battles. Looking at the world, there is only one such army.
In the battle of Pingxingguan, if it were not for the lack of ammunition and the lack of experience against the Japanese army, it would be difficult for the two baggage squadrons to achieve a battle loss of 1:1, let alone 1:2.
After firing all the bullets in the gun, you have to charge against the Japanese machine guns and rifles, which is really a pain in the heart of every red commander.
China does not lack people who dare to sacrifice, but it lacks cannons and bullets. Even bayonets inserted in the muzzles of guns are in short supply.
However, the tragedy of the nation does not mean that Qigen Village will definitely suffer.
Last month, Yoshio's wishful thinking that the firepower of the "Tubal Road" would be weakened gradually disappeared after ten minutes.
The Chinese seemed to have endless ammunition. For ten minutes, in addition to the sound of exploding mortar shells, his eardrums were filled with the sound of countless gunshots.
It never really stops.
Not to mention that each soldier of the death battalion and bayonet battalion carried more than 200 rounds of ammunition. Even the 3rd Battalion of the 771st Regiment received a supply of 200 rounds of ammunition for each soldier before the war. The dry ammunition belt became plump for the first time.
, hanging heavily on the body makes every red warrior feel full of happiness.
Holding yellow-orange bullets, the happiness at that moment is even comparable to winning a battle. For the red warriors who each carry no more than 20 bullets at most, as long as they have enough bullets, it means that
Victory. Even if the opponent is a little devil who can pass the magic.
Just like the Japanese soldiers of the 40th Infantry Brigade who had first contact with the "Tubal Road", the elite red soldiers who had gone through countless hardships but had come through them all did not take the Japanese soldiers too seriously. They believed that as long as they had enough courage,
With enough ammunition, we can completely defeat the white bandits just like we did in the past.
Many soldiers even hid at least two-thirds of their bullets in the garrison, planning to save them for the next battle. If the future general had not given repeated orders to bring all the issued ammunition, those who violated the military order would be detained for at least two days.
Half of the ammunition will be left at the station.
However, in just ten minutes, the red soldiers with abundant ammunition saw the tenacity of the Japanese army. Even if the terrain was unfavorable, they not only had good hiding skills, but also had extremely accurate marksmanship. Even if you were on the top of the mountain, as long as you were not careful, you would be very
There was a possibility that he would be bitten by Japanese rifle bullets coming from down the mountain.
Moreover, the Japanese army's grenade launchers are really powerful. Where their bullets cannot hit, they use grenades to make up for it. The grenades fired by the grenade launchers who are hiding deeply are as accurate as if they have eyes. Within ten minutes, the Japanese army was
The grenade launchers destroyed two light machine gun fire points, so the number of soldiers who were killed or injured was incalculable.
The Japanese invaders were powerful. This was the unanimous view of all the red soldiers during the ten-minute battle. No one dared to look down upon these Japanese troops whose terrain was at a disadvantage anymore.
However, not being contemptuous does not mean being afraid. The red soldiers may be afraid of failure, but they are never afraid of sacrifice. Especially when there is plenty of ammunition, they use all their abilities and put the Japanese army under pressure.
The Chinese who were encircled from all directions, in addition to their abundant firepower, probably left the deepest impression on the Japanese army because of their tenacious willpower and extremely high tactical literacy.
The Japanese army tried to organize a counterattack, but they were basically repulsed. After suffering a large number of casualties, they could only continue to hide in bunkers in various fields and continue to be suppressed by grenades and bullets, waiting for the arrival of air support.
Counterattack.
In fact, the Japanese army on the commanding heights seized by infantry squads also had a difficult time.
Their grenadiers pose a huge threat to the Chinese army on the commanding heights. So what will happen to the 60- and 82-force mortars, which are far more powerful than miniature "mortars"?
Of course, the bombing also caused the Japanese invaders who were clinging to the commanding heights to complain incessantly.
In addition to continuing to attack the Japanese invaders who were stubbornly resisting in the ravine, at least fifteen mortars were fired at the four commanding heights occupied by the Japanese invaders. At least two shells fell every second.
On the top of a mountain or ridge.
Even if no one is killed, it can still scare you into hiding, especially those firepower points that dare to shoot, and they will be chased by mortars. Under such an offensive, the Japanese troops on the top of the mountain may still be able to hold on.
They will not retreat even if their scalps are blown, but if you expect them to attack the Chinese army on the nearby hill, then you are really looking down on them.
Being able to guard the top of the mountain and ensure the space for hundreds of colleagues in the ravine is their biggest wish at the moment. The one who can take care of it from the commanding heights of the mountain happens to be the brigade headquarters where Yue Yue Liangfu is located, otherwise, with Bai Bai
The Japanese Army Major General wearing gloves might have been sniped to death by a cold gunman on the mountain ridge.
The Japanese troops at the front who were under attack were doing relatively well. Although the Chinese were condescending and waiting with bullets and grenades, the casualties were increasing every minute. But the artillery brigade at the back of the queue was in a bit of a bad situation.
As an important weapon that Liangfu thought last month, one brigade could fight against one Chinese army. The artillery brigade was protected by a complete infantry brigade when moving forward. It cannot be said that it was not ignored. But Liu Lang and the future general also understood that they must not
Give twelve 75-caliber mountain cannons a chance to blast out 6-kilogram projectiles.
Those who dealt with them were Liu Dazhu's Bayonet Battalion and the 3rd Battalion of the 771st Regiment.
Zhou Shiyu's death camp attacked the Japanese brigade and regiment headquarters and hundreds of Japanese infantrymen who were only a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the valley. Deputy battalion commander Zhang Tianyou recklessly blocked the firepower platoon directly under the battalion headquarters and two infantry squads directly under the Japanese brigade.
The two hills at the junction of the regiment headquarters and the infantry brigade and artillery brigade 500 meters away prevented the two groups of Japanese troops from rescuing each other.
Independent regiment deputy Zhang Ruhao and Zhou Shiyu led two infantry companies from the left and right to attack the thousands of people on Yueyue Liangfu's side.
Of course, with a total number of only more than 400 people, they can only encircle and attack at most. If they want to annihilate this group of Japanese invaders who are at least 1.5 times their number, they will have to wait for the two 771 regiments who are coming here.
The infantry battalion arrives at the battlefield.
The Bayonet Battalion and the 3rd Battalion of the 771st Regiment, which were more than 800 meters away from them, attacked an infantry brigade and artillery brigade of the 40th Infantry Brigade. They also surrounded them from the left and right, like two large pliers squeezing the long queue.
in the middle of the Japanese military sequence.
Although this infantry brigade protects the advance of the artillery brigade, it is actually led by an infantry squadron in front of the artillery brigade, followed by three infantry squadrons and the baggage squadron of the infantry brigade.
The 500-man 3rd Battalion of the 771st Regiment attacked a Japanese infantry squadron and an artillery brigade driving pack horses.
The bayonet battalion mainly dealt with the remaining three infantry squadrons and the baggage squadron. Liu Dazhu was extremely determined at the beginning of the battle.
From the beginning, a Japanese infantry brigade was broken up with light and heavy machine gun fire that was beyond the imagination of the Japanese infantry brigade. The Japanese infantry brigade took infantry platoons and even infantry squads as units, occupying hilltops and discharging themselves more than a thousand meters away.
Cut them apart to form small blocking positions one after another.
This naturally has many benefits. It can cut apart the Japanese army that has a numerical advantage, and use the superior terrain and firepower to eat them up bit by bit.
But this also has a lot of drawbacks. Once the Japanese invaders are allowed to recover and launch a counterattack with the support of air superiority, they can also eat up the bayonet battalion bit by bit. No one can help them. They can't escape even if they want to.
Can't escape.
Of course, not only did Liu Dazhu never think about escaping, he had no intention of letting this Japanese army, whose number was twice that of his Bayonet Battalion, escape. At most, he would only leave some soup for the heavily fortified Japanese army six miles away.
On the back road, there were the independent regiment guard platoon, the 386th brigade guard company, and the strong men battalion of 800 people who blocked the Japanese reinforcements.
The reason why the Japanese artillery brigade suffered is that the red soldiers responsible for attacking the Japanese infantry who were tenacious and highly skilled in tactics might have had some scruples. But for the Japanese artillery who mainly used the Southern Fourteenth pistol to fight against the enemy, that was not the case.
I don't have so many worries anymore.
The Japanese artillerymen who poked their heads from the hillside and aimed at the panicked Japanese artillerymen who had no frontline battlefield experience and counterattacked with small pistols were all polite. They still had time to aim and throw the grenades. They were mixed in among a group of neighing pack horses.
The nightmare of Japanese artillery.
A well-thrown grenade landed between a man and a pack horse, and the mountainous ground was covered in blood. It was unclear whether it was horse blood or human blood.
It is not only a nightmare for the artillerymen of the artillery brigade to run wildly along the mountain road with the out-of-control packhorse carrying the mountain cannon parts, knocking away the artillerymen who cannot dodge.
A mountain artillery brigade has 720 horses, and an infantry brigade also has about 180 horses. In other words, in the area attacked by the Bayonet Battalion and the 3rd Battalion alone, there are more than 900 horses. The Japanese army horses have been trained,
They may not be afraid of cannons and gunshots, but they are also afraid of death!
Several grenades exploded among the horses. The Japanese army, who had just risked their lives to remove the parts of five or six mountain cannons, could no longer control the horses.
Hundreds of frightened horses ran wildly along the mountain road, their iron hooves rolling, and stones weighing more than ten kilograms could be smashed by the crazy horses.
This was too scary for all the Japanese troops hiding on both sides of the mountain road.

PS: There are still the last two days, children's boots, please vote. There must be more updates. If there are at least 3 updates in September, 3 updates are required. This week has just started, and there are a lot of things. Just the teacher training.
It took three days! I was so awesome at swiping my face to sign in. I recommend a history book called "The Rise of the Military Advisors of the Warring States Period". It's an excellent history book. I believe I'm right. There's also a new history book called "The Foolish Emperor".
A reader highly recommended it, saying it was his favorite book. To satisfy him, I also recommend it...
