Perhaps the defeated remnants of the 36th Infantry Regiment thought they would suffer heavy casualties when attacking a fortified fortress, but they never thought they would suffer such a miserable defeat so quickly when they were on the defensive with fortifications.
In just three minutes, both the sandbag fortifications and the positions arranged in buildings and residences were all captured. Even in the end, the entire infantry squad did not make any decent attack. The two most important firepower points, heavy machine guns, were
He was immediately suppressed by the machine gun. Before the machine gunner could make a decent counterattack, several consecutive grenades thrown at him with perfect accuracy knocked the heavy machine gun to the ground.
The three grenades were targeted by the opponent's sharpshooters and machine guns after just firing a few rounds. They were also regarded as the last heavy weapons of the 36th Infantry Regiment. After they were eliminated one by one, Kitajima Gou
The end of the infantry squad and the artillery squadron led by Lieutenant Colonel Xiong himself was coming.
The saddest thing is that even if they wanted to leave this damn place and sneak into the surrounding houses, it would be difficult. Two large searchlights illuminated the area brightly, and the two soldiers in charge of the lighting were immediately struck by each other's attacks.
The sharpshooters were killed, and at a distance of only a few dozen meters, the Type 38 rifle that once brought them glory was as clumsy as a fire stick compared with the Third Reich-style submachine gun that kept spitting out bullets in the hands of their opponents.
This was what Chen Yunfa and Lei Xiong had discussed before setting off. Even if the Japanese invaders discovered something was wrong, as long as they could get close to the checkpoint, the firepower of dozens of submachine guns within a distance of 100 meters could completely suppress the firepower of the Japanese army.
They were very successful. During the hand-to-hand encounter, the Japanese troops had almost no chance to shoot, and were suppressed by the surging firepower of submachine guns. The grenades they carried with them could be easily thrown into the fortifications and eliminated them one by one.
.
Even if they frantically escaped from the fortifications and tried to hide in the houses around the highway, it was still in vain. The most tragic thing was probably the more than 40 artillerymen. They completely inherited the Japanese army's fearless spirit. At the beginning of the battle,
They used pack horses to move the mountain artillery, but Chen Yunfa, who had discovered their existence long ago, immediately sent an infantry squad to outflank them from both wings, and caught up with them 200 meters away.
The Japanese artillerymen, who were only equipped with Nanbu Type 14 pistols, never fired a single shot from beginning to end. They didn't even fire a few bullets from their pistols, and they all fell into a pool of blood.
There was no time to count the loot. After finishing the killing blows on the Japanese soldiers lying in a pool of blood, Chen Yunfa ordered everyone to continue along the road, but each car had a light machine gun on top. The battle here is likely to have already begun.
Alarming the rest of the Japanese troops, he had decided to fight out along the road before the large Japanese troops surrounded him.
An episode happened at this time. The infantry squad that went to chase the Japanese artillery used their pack horses to pull over the four captured Type 41 mountain guns. It was a good thing. These infantrymen were obviously reluctant to part with this trophy.
.
Lei Xiong almost sprayed his group of shallow-eyed soldiers to death. We are going to run away now, and we have to take these four big guys with us. Do you think you guys are running too fast?
But Chen Yunfa's eyes lit up. He pulled Lei Xiong and murmured for a long time before hanging the four mountain cannons on the back of the truck. The Japanese did a good job in the details. All the cannons and the backs of this specialized transportation trucks were
There is a specially designed hook that can be dragged away as long as it is hooked.
It took three minutes to resolve the battle, three minutes to clean the battlefield, and at the same time cut the telephone line to the checkpoint. A convoy of six vehicles dragged the captured mountain artillery and continued to run forward along the road. About 800 meters ahead and stopped at
The four cars that turned off their lights met and moved on.
Of course, the four vehicles led by Zeng Shui did not leave the battlefield without permission. They set up blocking positions in front according to a long-established plan. If the Japanese reinforcements came in small numbers, they would annihilate them. If they came in large numbers, they would block them and cover those behind them.
The main force retreated into the ruins and looked for a way out of here again.
They didn't encounter the Japanese reinforcements they imagined, but they didn't get nothing. A three-wheeled motorcycle carrying three Japanese soldiers galloping from a distance was encountered by them. The Japanese soldiers led by a sergeant may have attacked the baggage regiment.
The convoy was very familiar with it, so they jumped down without warning and asked if they knew where the fighting was going on.
Calculating mentally but not intentionally, the three Japanese soldiers naturally not only failed to get the results they wanted, but also became prisoners of a group of burly men. The Japanese military sergeant was very tough, knowing that falling into the hands of the Chinese would mean death no matter what, so
He was immediately sent to see his Amaterasu by Zeng Shui who made a prompt decision.
Many people may not be afraid of death, but there are many types of death. The killing method of inserting an army thorn from the Tianling Gai as clean as Zeng Shui directly frightened the two Japanese soldiers who had lost much energy. In Chen Yunfa
Before anyone arrived, they had figured out the specific defenses of the Japanese troops on this road.
The road leading to the front line in the west of Shanghai is 12 kilometers long. The defeated soldiers of the 36th Infantry Regiment have set up six checkpoints. Fortunately, this is also due to their lack of troops. The distance of two kilometers is still far apart.
, they only heard vague gunshots and explosions, and the phone couldn't be reached, so they sent someone on a three-wheeled motorcycle to check.
The bodies of the three Japanese soldiers and the motorcycle were thrown into a nearby house and hidden. The machine gun that had been mounted on the roof of the vehicle was removed again. The convoy continued to disguise itself as before and headed towards the next checkpoint.
From this, Chen Yunfa judged that the Japanese army was not particularly vigilant to this level of battle, and they would not necessarily have doubts about the convoy. His boldness and carefulness ultimately prevented the entire army from passing five levels and killing six generals like Guan Yunchang, all thanks to
This guy has a lot of firepower.
His proficient Japanese and "wretched" face, as well as the four blood-stained Type 41 mountain cannons hanging on the back of the truck, made the Japanese army have no doubts about the convoy. The mountain cannons were the treasures of the Japanese field troops.
, they are all heavily protected, and no one would think that the thing would fall into the hands of the enemy.
Everyone passed the second and third checkpoints in a row without any danger, and when they reached the fourth checkpoint, they were almost fifty meters away. The phone in the checkpoint suddenly rang, and the moment they heard the panicked voice of the Japanese army
, tearing apart all the camouflaged machine guns and firing violently, pushing the chasing Japanese figures back into the darkness.
This time, the convoy did not stop to attack the Japanese checkpoints. There were two checkpoints behind them. They had to defeat their opponents in the shortest possible time to escape.
The soldiers were so fast that almost all the drivers stepped on the accelerator to the lowest limit. They had to reach the 2-kilometer road in the shortest possible time before the large Japanese army surrounded them.
Captain Yamakika Ki's face was ashen and defeated. In fact, ten minutes ago, his face was still livid. The news that the commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Takeo Kitajima, and the Imperial officers and soldiers at the sixth sentry post were all shattered almost made him, the 36th,
The second commander of the Infantry Regiment was stunned. That almost meant that he, who was only a second lieutenant half a month ago, was already the highest-ranking officer in the 36th Infantry Regiment.
But he was not happy at all. Really, since the defeat in Sihang Warehouse, what made him happy was not the further improvement in military rank and official position. He just wanted to return to his hometown safely. But those hateful Chinese people,
Another bad guy is coming.
Judging from the muffled "dong dong" sound of artillery reported by the second post, it was the sound he had heard for many days on the Sihang Warehouse battlefield, and it was also the sound that took away the lives of countless colleagues in the empire.
Recalling that when he invaded Sihang Warehouse, not even a hair of those terrifying machine guns could be seen, he was sure that it was the terrifying Chinese army coming again.
Otherwise, which Chinese army can kill a fully armed infantry squad with enhanced heavy firepower in a trench within a few minutes? If all Chinese troops have such combat effectiveness, then what will happen to Songhu?
The battle would not have ended like this.
However, when the more familiar explosions of the Type 41 mountain cannon continued to be heard from 2 kilometers away, and a dozen rising fireballs were particularly conspicuous in the dark night, the face of Captain Yamajiki at the first post changed from livid to dark.
I became numb. The Chinese actually have artillery. They are so crazy! Don’t they have many people? Why do they still have artillery?
Yes, Chen Yunfa made full use of the Type 41 mountain gun, which was originally only used for camouflage. Four trucks stopped 800 meters away from the checkpoint. When the trucks in front arrived 200 meters away from the checkpoint, they started to fire at the Japanese troops in the checkpoint fortifications.
After testing the gun range, Chen Yunfa and several special forces began to play with the mountain cannon.
The Japanese captain's idea was correct. There may be cannons, but artillery is not available everywhere. If you let an infantryman play with the cannons, let alone hitting the target, if he can shoot out the cannonballs, it may be a victory.
But he didn't know that what he was facing were special forces trained by little butterflies from the future using future methods. They were proficient in all kinds of killing methods, from using knives to using guns and then using cannons.
Learning how to use guns of various calibers is also a compulsory subject for the special forces. Even the gunboats in the Comet Marine Company have been driven twice by the special forces. This is because the independent regiment does not have tanks or aircraft. Otherwise, the Langtuan Seat will also be certain.
Let them learn.
Perhaps they were not as good as professional artillery, and they did not have the talent of Zhao Ergou, who could hit the target with one shot. However, after firing several rounds in a row and finally finding the crosshair, the special forces fired at least ten shells from each cannon in one breath.
Forty rounds of mountain artillery shells are really too much for an infantry squad of Japanese soldiers. If possible, they would even rather face machine guns. Although that is also very scary, they can still hide away.
Where to hide from this mountain cannon falling from the sky?
From the beginning, the 36th Infantry Regiment, which was only responsible for security inspections, did not dig field trenches, but only built fortifications. Therefore, they could only watch as the indiscriminate bombardment sent the fortifications and them into the sky.
I learned from the phone call that the convoy was a Japanese infantry squad disguised as Chinese. Although they were well prepared, when the artillery came crashing down, they collapsed even faster than the first checkpoint.
When the convoy passed quickly, the remaining Japanese troops who had hid in nearby residential buildings watched the Chinese drive away without even firing a shot. Even when there were roadblocks, the Chinese jumped out of the car and moved the roadblocks away.
No one dared to shoot.
Later, according to an internal investigation by the Japanese army, the remaining Japanese troops of the 36th Infantry Regiment had long lost confidence in victory after successive defeats. They just wanted to live, and nothing else mattered.
