They have no intention of risking their lives with their remnant army.
The Chinese on the mountain opposite just now were just a feint attack, to cover the group of Chinese who had established a field blocking position in the river valley. They were playing to divide and encircle them, compressing their living space to the minimum, just like building a dam in a stream to cut off water.
It's the same as fishing, in the end not a single fish or shrimp can escape.
There wasn't even a chance to stand still and wait for help.
Not only did the Japanese major who lost command in the entire valley think of it, but also the other commanders of the Japanese army who were lucky enough to survive.
Even if the infantry on the mountains on both sides tried their best to block fire, they could not completely prevent the Japanese commander from frantically driving the infantry to attack Bayonet Camp and Rock Camp.
They were left with less than ten minutes to build a field position, and the Japanese troops, who were less than 200 meters away from their position, launched a charge under the cover of light machine guns and grenade launchers.
However, after a few minutes, Major Ryo Ikeda's despair could only add to his despair.
They had no choice but to charge because they didn't have enough firepower to cover them, and they had to brave the constant hail of bullets from the front, rear, and left. Many of them were swept to the ground as soon as they stood up.
Of course, the most terrifying thing is the exaggerated firepower from the opposite side.
At that moment, he even thought that he was facing the Infantry Division of the Third Reich that he had marveled at when he was studying in Europe. No, it was even stronger than them.
Because, in addition to the nearly twenty light and heavy machine guns, semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns owned by the Bayonet Battalion itself, Liu Lang also specially strengthened two companies of the 129th Division Guard Battalion.
There are no heavy machine guns in these two companies, and there is only one Czech light machine gun in each platoon, a total of only 6. However, these two companies have many submachine guns and shell guns! The equipment density of this kind of continuous firepower is higher than that of the bayonet battalion.
It can be said that at a distance of 100 meters, the firepower of their two infantry companies is three times stronger than that of the bayonet battalion infantry company, if the firepower of light and heavy machine guns is not included.
With such a density of firepower, let alone 400 Japanese troops, even a Japanese infantry brigade, trying to attack the position with pure infantry alone, would be a fantasy.
The tragedy is that they are now pure infantry. They have no infantry cannons or heavy machine guns. The few remaining grenade launchers cannot be easily fired from 400 meters away. Any grenade launcher who has the guts to shoot a grenade will be killed almost immediately.
They were all sniped to death by gunmen on the mountain.
Niu Er had been holding it in for a long time with a few special forces.
Not as tenacious as the soldiers led by Lieutenant Ishida Inoue, only three minutes later, as the remaining 100 men of the 3rd Infantry Squadron who led the charge were all killed or injured, the remaining 200 or so Japanese troops collapsed and were abandoned.
The more than a hundred corpses in front of him were ignored and fled in all directions. Some hid crazily towards the mountains on both sides, and some turned and ran backwards. Anyway, no one was going to make a fatal charge anymore.
Everyone knows that as the Chinese gain a foothold in the valley, more Chinese are waiting for them to come down the mountain, and then drive them into corners like mice and kill them one by one. At this time, no more
If you run, you can never run again.
Only Ryo Ikeda, whose eyes were filled with bitterness and looked dumbfounded, was left behind.
Those stupid baggage soldiers, if they did not break up, could still organize an organized resistance, but now they choose to fight on their own, which not only has no way to survive, but also makes the Chinese people have no worries, and death will come faster.
Not only the Japanese army led by Ryo Ikeda collapsed, but also the largest supply force in the middle of the valley, surrounded by the Panshi Battalion and the Bayonet Battalion, collapsed earlier. Even though they had far more strength than the Japanese troops at both ends.
, and even two infantry guns and 12 heavy machine guns.
But in the previous hour, the mountain artillery that focused on taking care of it had blown up two infantry cannons that were locked in position after firing only seven or eight shots. More than half of the 12 heavy machine guns had been lost, and the personnel had also been lost.
More than a third was lost.
The constant deaths, the almost never-ending wailing of the wounded, and everything from loud shouts to weak cries and pleas, have worn down their already weak will to fight to the lowest point.
With more than a thousand men from the three battalions encircling them, they couldn't even effectively organize a decent attack. They fled to the two wings in a panic, leaving the officers and soldiers of the three battalions standing still for at least ten seconds as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Is this the style of the legendary "Asia's No. 1 Army"?
Compared with the infantrymen of the infantry brigade who fought to the end in Qigen Village, the fighting will of these second-line soldiers who are used as supplementary soldiers is still much weaker. Those who have not experienced the cruelty of death can never be called a true soldier.
The truth of warriors is vividly reflected in them.
More than 800 people were running around crazily. Not to mention the officers and soldiers in the valley, even the red officers and soldiers of the two infantry regiments on the mountain were stunned. Does this mean that the battle was won?
It must be a victory.
As Ling Hong judged the battlefield situation, he ignored the completely collapsed Japanese army on the other side and gathered the close combat firepower of the first company of the guard battalion. The entire army took the initiative to launch an offensive against the remaining one and a half squad of 80 infantrymen at the head of the valley.
The moment it was compressed to a river beach of less than 3,000 square meters, the trend of victory in the battle of the river valley was irreversible.
"Order, all units of the third regiment, with companies and platoons as units, clear out the Japanese troops hidden at the foot of the mountain. Order, all units must not take it lightly and save ammunition, use grenades to cover the area below 100 meters at the foot of the mountain. If there is grass, use machine guns and rifles
After firing the bullets, use the bayonet to check. Anyone who violates the rules and causes death or injury to subordinate officers and soldiers will be severely punished in accordance with military law." Liu Lang solemnly ordered in front of a row of ordering soldiers.
The battle is won, but it does not mean it is over. These elite soldiers can die on the battlefield, but they should never die on the battlefield where the fruits of victory are about to be harvested. If possible, Liu Lang might really win a few
The red officer performed the surgery to show them the power of military law.
In Liu Lang's dictionary, a soldier's life is always more valuable than some bullshit material. Because he is rich enough now, it's that simple.
"Haha, Commander Xiao Liu is so loud! Commander, what do you think?" The future second-generation leader said with a smile as he took the new military order issued by Liu Lang from the front line.
"Hey, political commissar, you have already made up your mind, so why bother asking me? However, he cannot do this evil thing, so let me help him do this evil thing! Sign my name on the military order and send it to each regiment.
." The future military god, who had completely let go of his worries after observing the battlefield, smiled lightly and said.
"No, no, what the teacher said is wrong!" The future second-generation leader shook his head slightly, "If you want to sign, you must also sign my name! Military law is in charge of my Political Training Department!"
The future military god smiled slightly and naturally agreed happily. He knew very well the position of the political commissar who was about to be in charge of party affairs at the same level as him. As long as they both signed their names together, Liu Lang's strict order for the troops at the same level would no longer seem so
He is insulting, and no one dares to disrespect him.
It seems that this little guy Liu Lang is very popular, and political commissar Deng, who has always been arrogant and extremely shrewd, also has a good impression of him.
"Comrades, please look carefully. If you don't look carefully, use grenades to blow them up. The regimental leader said, don't even let the mouse holes go."
"Kill one here."
"Do you want anyone alive here?"
"We don't have anything to eat. Can you save your rations and give them to him?"
"Then let's kill him!"
The shouts of various southern and northern accents on the mountains even overwhelmed the occasional explosions and gunshots, and the occasional Japanese begging for mercy was quickly drowned out.
The Japanese troops that were surrounded this time were all combat troops because they were reinforcements. There were no special arms such as medical, engineering, and maintenance troops. The combat troops were all within the killing range of Liu Tuanzuo, the commander-in-chief of the front line. In addition,
With the military order jointly signed by Liu and Deng, no one in the three red infantry regiments, from the commander to the soldiers, dared to disobey it.
Liu Tuanzuo had previously personally whipped one of the four infantry battalion commanders under his command because a soldier disobeyed an order on the battlefield, but before the battle, the whole army was informed. Even his subordinates could be executed in public, let alone friendly troops like them.
Although the three infantry commanders who were a little bit uncomfortable with Liu Tuanzuo's military orders felt a little unhappy, they told each battalion and company again and again that they must not disobey Fatty Liu's military orders. They were all division commanders before.
If the character becomes that chicken used to scare the monkeys, he will be completely disgraced.
Ikeda Ryo, who was sitting upright among the rocks, looked around blankly. The cheers of the Chinese people on the mountains could be clearly heard, and his face was filled with a strong bitterness. It was still an hour before dark as he imagined, but the battle situation turned out to be unexpected.
It just rotted away.
Trembling, I picked up my small southern pistol, and before I pointed it at my head, I heard three consecutive "bang, bang, bang" gunshots.
The pistol in the Japanese major's hand fell weakly, and he looked at his chest blankly. Three bullet holes were bleeding out, and a heartbreaking pain hit him. He managed to raise his head and looked at the place where the footsteps sounded. The Japanese major's eyes flashed.
Out of anger.
"Squad leader, I killed another one, but don't forget to write it down for me." Xiaoshan's cheerful voice sounded.
"You stupid Guawazi, you don't have to do this if you want to get a wife! You can kill him with one shot, so what are you doing with three shots?" Mi Laowu scolded with a smile.
Baga! What is the connection between killing me and my wife... Ikeda Ryo wanted to refute, but he was unable to open his mouth.
Before finally falling into darkness, a very strange thought came to the mind of the Japanese major, who had gradually calmed down: Your squad leader is right! Why did he need to shoot three times?
"This guy is fair and fat, and he looks like a high-ranking official at first glance." Xiaoshan answered honestly: "If I don't beat him to death, my bonus will be gone if the other officers say they want him alive."
"You melon boy, you know how to settle accounts. I guess my little girl will not be short of money in the future." Mi Laowu could only give a thumbs up to his new recruit Danzi.
It seems that no one can refute this reason.
"However, I advise you not to say that he is a high official for nothing. The regimental commander will be unhappy if he hears this."
"Impossible, regimental commander, he is tall and strong." Xiaoshan shook his head honestly.
"Will you die if you don't flatter me?" Mi Laowu yelled.
"Squad leader, sir, you heard it." Xiaoshan pointed behind Mi Laowu sincerely.
"Everyone in the class, continue to clean the battlefield. All the little devils should replenish their guns first and then their knives." Mi Laowu gave the order solemnly without looking back.
The infantry squad burst out laughing.
It's really fatal for an honest kid to trick people.
