Chapter 1182 The curtain of the most splendid battle has opened
At 6:20 in the morning, the sky had turned slightly white, and people's shadows could be seen dozens of meters away. The troops surrounding Shimen on three sides had all arrived at the designated position.
Looking at the thick city wall in the twilight three hundred meters away, Liu Lang looked at his watch and said in a deep voice: "Sanchuan'er, give orders to the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, the 129th Division and above, and give the order to the headquarters of the 17th Division
The order was issued. At 6:20, the entire 129th Division of our 18th Group Army and the Independent Regiment of the 22nd Group Army will launch attacks on two enemy strongholds including Shimen and the 26th Artillery Regiment of the Japanese 20th Division on the eastern Shanxi front.
, the entire army of the 772nd Regiment of the 386th Brigade and the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment on the Jiuguan Front Line are ready to wait for the next military order, and request the 17th Division to gather the entire army to prepare for the war. A telegram is sent to all participating officers and soldiers to not be afraid of sacrifice and to fight the enemy bravely.
, after this battle, whether you live or die, your names will be with the Chinese nation. Long live the Chinese nation!"
"Long live the Chinese nation!" The red general who received the telegram had a little wet eyes and picked up the phone: "I order all artillery units and all Japanese defenses at the target city walls and gates to cover all the Japanese fortifications with artillery fire for ten minutes and fire."
"Long live the Chinese nation!" has entered the Japanese defense line, drove the convoy into the barbed wire fortifications, and then stopped on the pretext of a broken car. Zhang Ruhao, who was negotiating with a second lieutenant of the Japanese army, received the message from the commander of the first company of the blue army in the rear who ran quickly to get it for him.
When the message came, the expression on his face became extremely solemn. He no longer used Japanese, but murmured to himself in his most familiar native language.
Speaking to himself in front of the confused Japanese second lieutenant and squad leader.
"Long live the Chinese nation!" The future general's eyes hidden behind his glasses were as determined as ever before. "Pass my orders and attack signals. The 771st Regiment broke through the enemy's southern defensive positions along the highway. The death camp broke through the northern defensive positions. The Panshi Camp
Breaking through the defensive position on the eastern front, the 2nd Company of the Division Headquarters Guard Battalion and the Brigade Headquarters Guard Company followed the southern front troops with the brigade headquarters and broke into the enemy's artillery positions. They ordered all units to leave no reserves in this battle. Either the enemy will die or we will die."
"Long live the Chinese nation!" Zhao Shoushan, who had been awake all night, received the message from Liu Lang and couldn't help but burst into tears. "Send the order to the entire army to assemble and arrive at the Jiuguan front line within an hour to wait for the counterattack order. We will not arrive on time."
Those who dare to fight, beheaded; those who delay the opportunity to fight, beheaded; those who are afraid of fighting and refuse to fight, beheaded."
"Long live the Chinese nation!" The future military god and the future second-generation leader looked at the message sent by Liu Lang and stood side by side on the main peak of Snowflake Mountain, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, with their hearts surging.
Has this extremely glorious battle finally begun?
Before the splendid artillery fire bloomed, the sudden and intensive transmission of radio waves on the eastern Jindong front line stunned the communication officers of the Chinese and Japanese armies who were on duty late at night. This morning, the radio station was actually broken.
?
"Boom! Boom!" The two 92-inch infantry cannon assigned to the bayonet battalion spoke first, blasting wildly at somewhere on the quiet south gate wall of Shimen.
The most outstanding brigade-level support artillery of the Japanese army roared under the operation of the Chinese artillery, thus kicking off the most glorious battle of the Jindong War.
"Nani!" The Japanese second lieutenant, who was confused by the sudden Chinese language, became the first Japanese soldier to die on the frontal battlefield in this war.
"Nani, your mother's legs!" Zhang Ruhao, who had always been extremely elegant, had a trace of anger on his face. He pulled out the Black Star pistol from the waist behind his back, opened the safety skillfully, and "bang bang" three consecutive shots made him react.
The Japanese second lieutenant who was about to pull out the Nanbu Fourteen pistol in the gun case was beaten back repeatedly until he fell to the ground.
At a distance of less than two meters, a single bullet from the Black Star pistol could kill him, let alone three consecutive shots. The huge kinetic energy punched several holes in his chest that were no less big than rifle bullets.
The Japanese second lieutenant who was still dying might have known that the majestic first lieutenant of the baggage squadron in front of him was a Chinese pretending to be a Chinese, but he did not understand before his death why the Chinese were so bold and dared to come with hundreds of people disguised as imperial troops.
sneak attack.
Moreover, the Artillery Regiment Headquarters also received a message from Jingxing County that such a convoy would arrive. Could it be said that the baggage regiment of Jingxing County collectively surrendered to the Chinese?
This unscientific.
Of course, the dead Japanese second lieutenant would not know. What is even more unscientific than that is that after hearing the gunfire, not only the two baggage teams surrounding the convoy that seemed to be protecting the convoy, nearly 400 people immediately looked for bunkers and attacked.
The ignorant Japanese defenders in the trenches and fortifications attacked. More than 100 soldiers in gray military uniforms armed with submachine guns jumped out of five trucks located in the center of the convoy. The terrifying firepower they spewed out hit the few Japanese soldiers who had just raised their guns and tried to resist.
Fell in the fortifications.
At this distance, the firepower spewed out by the 150 submachine guns would force even the heavy machine guns to avoid it temporarily, let alone pull the 38 cap of the bolt to fire a shot. There is almost no need to aim. Cat
The gray figure, who bent his waist and attacked the Japanese position in squad units, even used the simplest firepower to cover the Japanese team responsible for the defense so that he could not raise his head.
But this was not a real nightmare. What made the Japanese army most frightened was that with the sound of gunfire and the actions of the Chinese, the canvas of the two trucks at the rear of the convoy was also pulled open, but the people inside were not people.
It's two cannons.
Why it is said to be two instead of two is because it is not an infantry gun or a mortar, but a 20mm machine gun.
In the truck compartment, seven or eight people quickly used the sandbags contained in the truck compartment to build a circular sandbag fortification. Two machine guns with gun mounts and gun shields fired in two directions, one left and one right, after two minutes.
The Japanese troops hiding behind the sandbag fortifications soon discovered that the fortifications that could withstand heavy machine gun fire were not only no longer safe, but even more dangerous than no fortifications at all. A bullet as big as a cigar could not even penetrate a 20 mm steel plate within a distance of 500 meters.
It can be penetrated, let alone the fortifications mainly laid by the Japanese army with civil engineering. You must know this thing. In the future, the "Tuba Road" will be used to break through the bunkers. Almost everyone who encounters it will be defeated. Thick brick walls
, could not be stopped. If the entire Red Army had not only had four units in total, the future strategy of digging deep trenches and building bunkers to implement a super blockade, led by "China Master" Okamura Neiji, would have been turned into a big colander.
.
The machine guns responsible for destroying the important fortifications on the Japanese positions, under the command of the observer, mainly fired at those ring-shaped fortifications. The 20mm shells with terrible kinetic energy scattered the sandbags into dust. When they penetrated the sandbags, they would also hide in the sandbags.
The Japanese soldiers among them were torn to pieces. If they were hit by such a shell, their arms would be gone. If they were hit on their legs, their legs would be gone. If they were hit on their bodies, congratulations, you don’t have to worry about what parts are missing, because the whole person is
Gone. Shattered by cannonballs.
Even the tenacious Japanese infantry could not withstand that bloody storm. No one else would dare to stay in the fortifications where they saw their companions being smashed to pieces, and they might become the next batch of unknown people.
Isn't it just minced meat?
However, the fate of the Japanese soldiers who escaped from the fortifications at the fastest speed in their lives was not much better. No matter how skillful the tactical movements were, even if they jumped out of the fortifications, they would continuously roll on the ground in an amazing manner.
In front of submachine gun bullets, it is futile, even ridiculous.
No one can travel faster than a bullet traveling at hundreds of meters per second. The only people who can dodge bullets like that are the protagonists in future TV series who are full of pig-foot auras.
Obviously, these Japanese soldiers can only be supporting roles. They are still the kind of super little extras who don't even have names and can scream one line. Many of them were shot without saying a word in the first step of escaping.
It’s not that the Japanese army tried to resist. In the future Battle of Nomenkan, the heroic Imperial Japanese Army dared to confront the red polar bear tanks with sabers in hand, and even chopped down the tanks with crazy machine guns, causing sparks to fly. Although they soon fell
It was crushed into a puddle of meat.
In a fortification 150 meters away from the position, a 92 heavy machine gun, despite the roar of the machine gun, actually fired at the machine gun, causing dust to fly on the sandbags and sparks flying on the steel shield.
Several ricocheting bullets hit the ammunition soldier who was inserting bullets into the bullet plate, and he fell into the truck fortification without saying a word.
"Flare bombs, give me a flare." The machine gun shooter's eyes turned red and he roared sternly.
The sight at dawn in the twilight was not good. The darkness provided him with cover and also covered the heavy machine gun fortifications. The shooter only focused on sweeping the light machine gun fortifications at close range and did not notice the Japanese heavy machine gun fortifications at all. An oversight.
This led to the sacrifice of his comrade and fellow villager who had lived and ate with him for several years. The red blood flowing from his head and his body that was no longer moving proved that it was impossible for the ammunition hand to survive.
At this time, he had no time to be sad. The most important thing for him was to kill the fortification and the heavy machine gun, even if he would be hit by a heavy machine gun bullet in the next moment.
The flares will not only illuminate the location of the Japanese army, but the flares falling downwards like a small sun will display the position of hundreds of meters in everyone's field of vision. He can find the location of the Japanese heavy machine guns. The Japanese heavy machine guns
The shooter will also see him clearly.
The soldier in charge of firing the flare hesitated for a moment, then a row of heavy machine gun bullets came over again, causing sparks to fly from the truck.
"I'll draw up my mother's plan and use it as a flare for me. If the car blows up, I'll be done with it." The roar of the machine gun shooter even drowned out the blazing bullets.
The flares were fired high in the sky, and as they slowly fell, the Japanese army's position, which had been reduced to a mess, clearly appeared in front of everyone. In the trenches and fortifications, at least thirty or forty people fell down in the khaki-colored Japanese troops. A full Japanese squad, in less than four people,
Most of them were wiped out within minutes, and only a dozen people were still hiding in the trenches to survive. The guard company, which had already rushed into the trenches in squad units, would sound their final death knell.
The moment the light appeared, the machine gun and the Japanese heavy machine gun saw each other's positions clearly at almost the same time. The machine gun shooter, whose adrenaline had soared, and the sergeant who was also the machine gun squad leader, could even see 150 meters away.
The cold eyes of the Japanese heavy machine gun shooters who were also fearless in the fortifications were cold.
The heavy machine gun muzzle swung slightly. While the scope locked on the Japanese fortifications, the lighter Japanese 92 heavy machine gun took the lead in roaring. The terrifying heavy machine gun bullets made a "ding-dong" sound from the steel body of the truck. If it hadn't been for
The sandbags prepared in advance and the 15 mm thick steel plate shield Liu Lang requested for the machine gun before the war would not only be used by the machine gun sergeant shooter, but also the observers and observers in the fortifications in the truck compartment.
None of the other two ammo men could survive.
Even so, a heavy machine gun bullet still passed through the gap in the steel shield and hit the left arm of the machine gun shooter. Although the 7.7 mm caliber bullet is not as scary as the 20 mm machine gun bullet, it is also a terrifying weapon for killing people.
, the machine gunner's arm was directly broken. The blood spurted out and the red and white bone stubble exposed through the military uniform showed the seriousness of his injury. With the current medical level of the independent regiment, even if he could be rescued in time, this arm would probably survive.
It's also useless.
But the machine gunner didn't realize it, as if he hadn't been shot. The muscles on his face twitched hard and painfully twice, "You bitch, it's my turn to fuck you now! Let's see who gets the first blow."
Die." His finger suddenly pulled the trigger.
A series of at least five artillery shells hit the Japanese heavy machine gun fortifications in a continuous fire. The trigger was pulled again, and ten rounds were fired in succession. Visible to the naked eye, the Japanese heavy machine guns were fired with sparks and parts flying everywhere.
Completely misfiring.
Even steel like heavy machine guns were beaten into parts, not to mention the human body behind the heavy machine gun. The Japanese heavy machine gunner was penetrated by at least three 20mm caliber shells, and almost the entire upper body was shattered. Only one gun remained.
The steel helmet was still spinning around in the sandbag fortification.
With the destruction of the heavy machine guns, the last resistance on the Japanese position came to an end. The position formed by an infantry squad that could resist the attack of at least one infantry company fell completely under Zhang Ruhao's control.
The Japanese army completely wiped out a small squad of 54 people from the second lieutenant to the captain, but only 3 of them were killed and 4 were injured. It was a complete overwhelming victory.
Of course, it is not just about how many enemies have been wiped out, but more importantly, the achievement of tactical goals. The circular defensive position of the Japanese 26th Artillery Regiment has been torn open with a big gap. This vanguard unit commanded by Zhang Ruhao has more than an infantry battalion.
We will use this as a bridgehead to attack the Japanese troops on both flanks, and from the inside.
And when the hole torn from the inside became larger and larger, and an infantry regiment that was already less than 3 miles away from here rushed in, it was the end of all Japanese troops here, whether they were infantry or artillery.

Ever since it became a hit, this book has been blackmailing me to give him a thumbs up, otherwise he will not give me a thumbs up. In order to cling to the great god's lap, Feng Yue like this
Xiao Pujie could only give him a thumbs up with tears in his eyes.
