I couldn't help but look pale, it was all because of fear.
Although the infantry major and the major general officer's face had turned pale several times, the face of this one whose balls were swollen with fear was still pale. The face was white and white, and he changed from Asian to
European, if you give him another golden curly hair.
The Chinese actually have mountain cannons?
Compared with the explosive packets thrown by the Chinese who did not know what method they used before, although they were very powerful and caused a mess in the river valley, it was the mountain cannons that could accurately bombard Ryo Ikeda that frightened him the most.
Because any firepower point will be turned into a pile of parts under the precise attack of the mountain cannon, whether it is a person or a firearm.
Unless, there is artillery counterattack.
However, the baggage squadron outside the river valley only carried two guns, and they were still on the other side of the mountain. What's more, would the Chinese let them go? Ikeda Ryo was not sure at all.
As a veteran soldier who has served as a squadron captain for six years and a group captain as a major for five years, Ryo Ikeda's intuition was spot on.
Knowing that there was an infantry squadron and a baggage squadron of 500 people still one mile away from the main force of the Japanese army, how could Liu Lang, as the commander-in-chief of the front line, turn a blind eye, especially when the baggage squadron also carried more than twenty large vehicles, full of them.
It is full of all kinds of supplies for 3,000 people, and it is destined to be fat and oily.
Those who dealt with them were more than 400 people from the Bayonet Battalion, designated by Liu Lang as the Sharp Knife Battalion. Their combat mission was to annihilate this group of enemy invaders in the shortest possible time and at the smallest cost. Not all of them, but most of them must be captured.
Materials.
We can't let the Japanese army come back to their senses. The Japanese army was so ruthless that they even cut open their own stomachs to see what their intestines looked like. It was common for them to blow up their own rifles and machine guns before they felt that they were about to stop firing.
thing.
So as soon as the battle in the valley ahead started, Liu Dazhu gave the order to attack with trembling cheeks.
It's impossible not to tremble! Although the Ten Whip Lang Tuanzuo on his back left his hand and looked bloody, most of them were superficial injuries and not muscles or bones, but it hurt! If his soldiers made mistakes, he should be the one who is the commander.
That's right. Liu Dazhu didn't complain about the regiment commander doing this. But after all, there was still some evil fire. Those subordinates were also beaten to pieces and he couldn't beat them anymore. The recruits kept their heads hanging down.
Now that I have realized my mistake, I can only vent my anger on these devils.
This is not a river valley, but a mountain road. There are deep ditches on one side and mountains on the other. The mountain road is narrow. It is a good place for sap shooting, but it is not suitable for large-scale ambush battles because the Japanese army's formation is too long.
If the Japanese army takes the opportunity to counterattack and go up the mountain, the casualties will be greatly increased. Or if they escape into the mountain, the battle plan that cannot be completely annihilated will fail, and it will also be extremely dangerous for the mountain people in this mountain.
But for a small-scale operation involving more than 500 people and a few dozen large convoys with a length of less than one kilometer, it is still very suitable.
Perhaps Liu Dazhu had too much evil fire in his heart. In addition to using the more than twenty mortars from the Bayonet Battalion to take the lead in targeting the Japanese infantry on the mountain road, and covering a 40-meter section of the road with two guns every two, he also
No expense was spared in using the infantry squad's rocket launchers, all of which fired steel ball bombs and incendiary bombs specifically designed to kill infantry.
Of course, mortars and incendiary bombs cannot be used for the more than 20 large trucks transporting baggage. In order to prevent the ammunition from exploding, even steel ball bombs are useless. It can be said that the Japanese army on this section of the mountain road is happy.
They were the only section that was not under fire from the Bayonet Battalion.
But other Japanese troops were unlucky.
Especially the first two infantry squads, 60% of the Bayonet Battalion's attacks were directed at them.
Not only were there exploding artillery shells and terrifying inextinguishable flames of incendiary bombs, but there were also light and heavy machine gun fire, and semi-automatic rifle fire with full force.
Suffering such a sudden blow, let alone the elite Japanese army, the independent regiment itself would not be much better off.
If you want to avoid these, other than climbing up the mountain, the other option is to jump into a deep ditch. If you jump into a ditch of more than ten or twenty meters, you won't end up with anything good even if you think about it with your butt.
However, there were quite a few Japanese soldiers who chose to jump into the ditch. Although many Japanese soldiers did not want to jump in, they were knocked down by shells or squeezed in by panicked companions.
Those who didn't have the guts to jump had no choice but to climb crazily up the mountain, even if the machine gun firepower on the mountain was far beyond their imagination.
Rows of Japanese troops were mopped down by the DP squad with light machine guns and "Hitler chainsaws" like they were harvesting rice. However, the Japanese troops continued to advance forward, howling and giggling, charging towards the mountain with guns in their waists.
Stopping, as if not knowing what the fear of death is.
Because they know that if you stay on a narrow mountain road, no matter whether you hide under the rocks or whether you can escape the Chinese mortars and bullets, the final outcome will be to be killed on the mountain road. And
, and was still killed without any resistance.
This truth was understood from the very beginning when Lieutenant Ishida Inoue, who was in charge of leading the squadron behind the 2nd Infantry Team, saw the fire burning all over Lieutenant Imamura twenty meters in front of him.
The poor second lieutenant was not hit head-on by the terrible bomb shot from the woods. The bomb, which was not very fast, hit the ground of the mountain road with a trajectory visible to the naked eye. The power of the explosion was also
It was not too big, and the soldiers who were already lying on the ground, including Second Lieutenant Imamura, were not severely overturned by the air wave.
However, the bomb suddenly exploded and spread flames covering a thirty-meter radius. At least a dozen people were ignited by this terrible incendiary bomb. However, the most terrifying thing was that it was not worth it. The terrifying thing was that the fire was like tarsus.
Bone maggots, no matter how you roll on the ground, are still burning stubbornly and tenaciously, even burning more and more vigorously.
Poor Second Lieutenant Imamura was right in front of Lieutenant Ishida Inoue, watching helplessly as he howled and rolled while being enveloped in flames and black smoke, and finally became motionless and burned to death in front of him.
And even if he died, the fire would still not go out. Even the gravel ground where he rolled was still burning with flames, making a sizzling sound, leaving a terrible scorch on the ground.
That was his flesh and skin that had been burned alive.
It was a terrifying weapon from hell developed by the Chinese. Lieutenant Ishida Inoue, who was cold all over his body, issued a military order for the entire army to attack the mountain at all costs. He did not want to be forced to jump into a deep ditch and become a puddle of flesh, nor did he want to be on the mountain road.
Waiting to be blown to pieces by Chinese mortars, let alone being lit into a human-shaped candle by that terrible incendiary bomb.
Although he could not know the situation of the front troops several hundred meters away due to the mountain obstruction, judging from the loud noise coming from there, they must have also encountered a terrible attack. It was probably impossible to count on them.
The only one who can save them now is himself.
If they had encountered the Red Army or other Chinese forces, and the Japanese army of several hundred people had made such a desperate attack, they might have been able to break out of the bloody battle.
But, unfortunately, what they encountered was the Bayonet Battalion of the Independent Regiment. One was equipped with twelve terrifying machine guns with a rate of fire exceeding 1,200 rounds per minute, and one was fully equipped with a semi-automatic rifle with a magazine of ten rounds and a drum cable with seventy rounds.
Rice submachine gun, in terms of firepower of light weapons alone, even the current American soldiers cannot catch up with the army.
All desperate charges are in vain in the face of crazy bullets, if the density of bullets exceeds a certain value.
No matter on the African continent in 1893, 50 Rhodesian infantrymen and a mere 4 Maxim machine guns easily repelled the attack of up to 5,000 Zulus, leaving 3,000 weapons on the battlefield that made the Zulus extremely sad.
The corpses were from the Battle of Omdurman in Sudan in 1898. During the attack by 20,000 Christian dervishes, as many as 15,000 of them fell in front of the ferocious Maxim machine gun positions.
Even in the future Normandy landing battle, a recruit of the Third Reich, with only one man, one machine gun and one rifle, created the myth of killing the most enemies in any war. More than 2,000 American soldiers fell
In the face of terrible machine gun fire.
What's more, the 900-meter-long attack line and the firepower of the Bayonet Battalion hidden in the mountains and forests far exceed the firepower of these battles that have left profound marks in history.
It far surpassed the Japanese infantry squadrons and heavy troops who did not have artillery and aircraft at the moment. In their hands, the 1.7-meter-long Sanba Gaigai, which used to look arrogant with bayonets inserted, was like burning fire sticks in the face of the terrifying automatic firepower.
ridiculous.
Even better than burning a fire stick.
At least, burning fire sticks won't hinder their running.
When fighting with a bayonet, the 38 cap with the bayonet inserted when it is more than 1.7 meters is like a spear, which is awesome, but in the mountain forest, it really affects the operation. I just wanted to jump behind a tree to avoid the terrible bullets of the Chinese.
, but the gun was too long and got caught on the branches.
On the battlefield, life or death can be decided in an instant. What's more, the little devil who has been trained to have a somewhat rigid mind would rather die than get his spear back. The two seconds of dragging him hard were enough for him to be swept over by the light and heavy machine guns.
The bullet hit.
The Japanese army's desperate charge lasted for a full ten minutes.
Each heavy machine gun MG42 had its barrels replaced at least four times. The three spare barrels were not enough. The members of the machine gun team had to pour water from the individual water bladders onto the barrel to cool down the dark red barrel.
The three ammunition handlers carried a total of 3,000 rounds of ammunition, but each fired more than 2,500 rounds.
The heavy machine guns alone fired nearly 30,000 rounds of ammunition, plus the infantry's squad machine guns and submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles. In these ten minutes alone, it is estimated that the Bayonet Battalion fired three-fifths of the bullets carried by the entire battalion's individual soldiers.
There are many.
In fact, post-war statistics show that in just these ten minutes, the bayonet battalion poured out more than 100,000 rounds of various bullets at the Japanese troops who were charging desperately, with an average of more than 10,000 rounds per minute. On average, every officer and soldier received 100,000 bullets per minute.
More than 20 shots were fired.
Of course, among them, the 20 or so light and heavy machine guns contributed the most, followed by dozens of submachine guns with astonishing firing rates. However, it was extremely astonishing that each of the 200 infantrymen fired more than 80 rounds of bullets.
One hundred thousand rounds of ammunition, more than 1,500 grenades, more than 300 mortar shells, and more than 50 rocket rounds resulted in more than 350 Japanese invaders falling on the charging hillside.
Lieutenant Ishida Inoue made a desperate charge and fell to the Japanese army who was closest to the bayonet battalion position, still fifty meters away.
The bayonet camp, however, was ambushed on a hillside only 180 meters away from the mountain road.
The Japanese army paid a price of 350 people, but they only advanced 130 meters.
The entire infantry squadron was almost wiped out. Of the baggage squadron, only a small team was left to guard the baggage trucks.
This is basically all their troops. If the desperate Lieutenant Ishida Inoue and the remaining Japanese troops who retreated from the hillside with no more than 30 people still have fighting power, then they still have more than 80 people.
Equivalent to two infantry squads.
This time, there were no light machine guns or grenade launchers. Instead, they only had the 38 cap and the Nanbu 14 pistol held by Lieutenant Ishida Inoue. They were pure light infantry.
It simply filled the face of the Japanese lieutenant hiding behind the cart with despair.
At this moment, he had the same expression as his immediate superior who was still expecting him to move closer to the main force.
But obviously, he was more miserable. He met an extremely "brutal" opponent, and in just ten minutes, he was beaten to the point where he had no guns or cannons.
Of course, no one else made it for them.

PS: I went home at two o'clock in the afternoon and coded non-stop for four and a half hours. I just finished coding and the update was late. Rong Fengyue took a break and coded after dinner. I will pay back what I owed yesterday.
There will definitely be more updates. The fifth update of "Zhuang Buping" leader has not been returned yet! One more thing, "Zhou Dapeng is me" book friend, that is, Zhou Dapeng in the book, I only found out about him on Friday
He was seriously ill, and the doctor said he didn't have much time left. He had been supporting Fengyue since the book was published in April last year. He could be said to be an old friend. When Fengyue heard the news, he felt very sad. He hoped that all the book friends would bless him.
