"Damn it, the Japanese are playing tricks. Hidden, hidden." Lei Xiong screamed and rolled and crawled into the anti-gun hole beside him.
With the terrifying howling in the air and the roar of Lei Xiong, the officers and soldiers of the Second Infantry Company jumped faster than the other. Those who had no time to hide in the artillery holes quickly hid at the corners of the trenches.
The Japanese attack is fake, but the artillery attack is real. They use a small number of troops to attract the defenders from the trenches, and then use artillery fire to cover this tactic. Lei Xiong and others have experienced the Japanese on the Songhu front line.
This kind of tactics combines reality and reality.
The most powerful thing about this kind of tactics is not that being tricked out of the artillery hole and causing excessive casualties in the artillery fire, but that there is reality in the imaginary, and imaginary in the reality. It is difficult for you to predict which time the Japanese will really attack.
, even if there is an observation post to remind you, often by the time you arrive at the fighting position, the Japanese forwards have already arrived less than a hundred meters away from the trenches. If the defenders do not have enough heavy weapons, they are likely to be overwhelmed by the Japanese, and the rear
More troops had to be sent to retake this position, and the casualties were getting bigger and bigger.
The Lei Xiong Infantry Company hid quickly because they had experience, but it did not mean that everyone in the 152nd Regiment hid quickly.
The young soldier was still listening to the sound of flying artillery shells. He was probably still thinking about the Japanese infantry attacking. Why did the Japanese artillery dare to fire? In other words, there was always a veteran squad leader beside him who was like a father and a brother, and he kicked him down.
On the ground, "You're a melon-skin, and you're still listening to me with a hammer. The Japanese are firing cannons again. If you don't get started, just get down in there."
"Haiguo, where are you?" The young soldier, who had just woken up from his dream, rolled and crawled into the artillery hole. He didn't remember that his squad leader hadn't come in yet until the rumble of cannons sounded.
However, his shouts were directly drowned in the loud explosion.
In his haste to hide from the cannon, he didn't see that the veteran who had kicked him to hide did not hide in the anti-cannon cave, but found a random place and got up, holding his gun tightly in his arms.
Although the veteran had no experience fighting the Japanese army, his experience in joining the army for more than ten years instinctively told him that there must be something wrong with the Japanese's new tactics. Most people were hiding, but he couldn't hide. He had to act as an observation post.
.
"The phone calls ordered each battalion and company headquarters to leave enough observation posts when hiding from the artillery, so as not to fall into the enemy's trick." Xie Guji had a keen insight into the true intention of the Japanese army's new tactics.
Sure enough, after only three or four minutes of shelling, the Japanese artillery fire began to extend to the second-line position, and the Japanese infantrymen who were crawling 200 meters away began to run with guns in hand.
The veteran who had been holding his head and shrinking back came to his senses from the bombardment. He climbed into the fighting position and climbed out of the trench. He lay on the ground with his ears sideways for a while, but he didn't hear much sound. Maybe it was the terrifying shells.
The bombardment caused a significant loss of hearing. He gritted his teeth and reluctantly took out a flare from his waist. It was the last flare given to him by company commander Yang Songlin, and perhaps the last one in the entire company.
A special gun was used to shoot out the last flare. In the suddenly lit night, rows of Japanese soldiers holding guns and trotting were clearly visible. In just a short time, they were almost within 120 meters.
"Bang bang!" The veteran fired without hesitation and shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, the Japanese are coming."
The soldiers who were alarmed by the gunshots crawled out of the holes one after another, climbed up wherever they found a fighting position, and without looking at the target, they pulled the bolt of their guns and fired with a bang. This is based on the teachings of veterans that in emergencies
It doesn’t matter whether the moment is accurate or not, what’s important is to have enough momentum. The denser the gunfire, the more you can know how many comrades are around you, and the more stable your heart will be. Not only that, the denser gunfire has a negative impact on the enemy.
, and also increase their psychological pressure.
How can a person who is attacking know whether your shot is accurate or not? He only knows that there are many people shooting at him. As long as he feels scared, he will achieve his goal. If he is scared, he will naturally run slower.
, if you run slowly, you can naturally adjust your breath slowly, aim and shoot, right?
This is battlefield experience, the experience gained by self-teaching after countless battles. The battlefield is the cruelest classroom. There is no teacher in this classroom. The only motivation to support your learning is that you want to continue to live and breathe air, even if
The air is filled with choking gunpowder smoke; there are no bad students in this class. Unqualified students will not have a chance to study, but will lose their lives.
In terms of desire to survive, the veterans of the 152nd Regiment of the 43rd Army of the Sichuan Army are not to mention the best in the country. Even if the soldiers of the Sixth Division opposite are included, they are also top-notch. Don't look at it.
Their marksmanship is not as accurate as that of the soldiers of the Japanese Army, known as the "Strongest Division on the Surface", and their personal equipment is even worse. However, in terms of combat experience, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division cannot keep up with them.
Since 1912, the Sichuan Province has been a mess. Either you beat me today or I will beat you tomorrow. The war continued until 1935 or even 1936. It can be said that except for the new recruits, the Sichuan Army was engaged in "group fighting" from top to bottom.
"It was tempered. As for the Sixth Division, how many battles have they fought? That is to say, they fought a few small battles in North China. If they have fought, they have to go back decades.
go.
To be honest, if the entire 43rd Army is equipped with the same heavy artillery as the Sixth Division, and the number of people is expanded to almost the same, let alone street fighting, even in field battles, the Sixth Division will not be able to take much advantage. In this situation, even
It can be expanded to battlefields all over China. It's not that China doesn't have enough veterans to defeat the Japanese army, but the heavy firepower is really poor. No matter how elite the veterans are, they can't withstand the constant bombardment of artillery!
The number of Chinese veterans fighting was decreasing, while the Japanese veterans were fighting more and more. Coupled with the heavy weapons and sharpness, this was the biggest reason why all major battles in the first two years of the Great Patriotic War repeatedly failed. After the stalemate, China's new mutiny
The veterans of the Japanese army either died in battle or were transferred to the Pacific battlefield to fight with American cowboys. In addition, Japan's supplies were gradually depleted. If there were not enough divisions of type A, they would come to type B. If there were not enough divisions of type B, they would come to type C. If there were not enough divisions of type C, they would come to type C.
If it still doesn't work, use D-types to make up for it. The equipment will become worse and there will be more recruits. It will be strange for the Japanese not to lose. Seven years in the future, the participating parties in the Xuefeng Mountain Battle will only invest more than 100,000 troops, and the Japanese army will suffer casualties in the first battle.
More than 20,000 people already show that they are actually extremely weak.
The rich combat experience of the Sichuan Army veterans helped a lot. A burst of aimless fire directly slowed down the pace of the Japanese attack. By the time they reached the area 100 meters away, all the officers and soldiers in the trenches were already in place, and the heavy machine guns began to roar.
The mortar attack began and basically returned to the previous situation.
A few dozen meters further, it looked like they were going to be hit by Chinese grenades again. The Japanese army began to hesitate again, and the pace of attack became even slower.
The Chinese people opposite were so tough! All of this almost made Kubo Masamori bite his back teeth. If he could, he would have picked up the phone and yelled at the 6th Artillery Regiment: "Eight."
Ga! Don’t stop the artillery fire, my brother has to fight hard.”
Of course, as a result of shouting like that, he would be chopped alive by the violent Hisao Tani. The Imperial Japanese Army did not train infantry and artillery coordination to the level of 100 meters to 50 meters. If he dared to do that, at least there would be
Half of the infantry died not from Chinese bullets, but from broken jade and their own artillery shells. Even the craziest commander would not do this.
If you can't do it, then you can only withdraw and continue to play the game of virtual and real. Anyway, the initiative is with him. Although the Chinese responded well this time, as long as they make a mistake, it will be a disaster for Japan.
The Army Major decided to take advantage of the long night to fight with these stubborn Chinese. Anyway, when it gets daybreak, even if the plane cannot take off, the Chinese position that has completely fallen into the sight of the artillery observer will be bombarded by heavy artillery and the heavy artillery of the destroyer that is about to arrive for support.
, he did not believe that the Chinese could survive such a level of shelling.
Don't tell me, Kubo Masamori, who was suddenly not in a hurry to attack, instead used a trick, attacking for a while and not attacking for a while, hit the 152nd Regiment's lifeline exactly.
Xie Guji, who was continuously bombarded back and forth by Japanese artillery and had to focus on the Japanese infantry to attack at any time, finally showed a trace of anxiety. He led the 152nd Regiment here not to play with the Japanese with his life, but to be slow.
They attacked and tried to kill as many as possible, but if they were entangled by the Japanese like this, they would have to risk their lives even if they didn't want to wait until dawn, and they might not even have the chance to risk their lives.
Regardless of the bad weather now, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, the Japanese bombers will take off and drop a few or even a dozen aerial bombs. Even if the 152nd Regiment has trenches for retreat, most of them will probably be left here.
Fortunately, the hour hand was already pointing to 9 o'clock. As soon as the Army Lieutenant General's telegram asking about the battle situation came, Xie Guji quickly reported the battle situation. The Army Lieutenant General's reply was very concise: the task of blocking the enemy has been completed, and the camera retreated.
The leading brother said that the mission was accomplished, so why fight with the Japanese army in this wilderness? Why not go to the countless houses and alleys in the city and deal with them. Xie Guji was a smart man, and immediately ordered the infantry
The battalion left an infantry company to block the enemy, and the rest of the main force slowly retreated.
The first to retreat were heavy weapons such as mortars, machine guns, and heavy machine guns, and then the personnel. As long as the intensity of the Japanese bombardment was not strong, they could escape along the trenches with whatever they carried. The huge manpower and material resources built the retreat trenches.
At this moment, the effect was fully demonstrated. The infantry companies ran through the communication trenches and along the special retreat trenches several kilometers away.
But Kubo Masamori was still playing with his illusions and reality, playing hide and seek on the battlefield. It was not until after four or five attempts that the three infantry squadrons he sent reached 80 meters in front of the trench without hearing anything.
There were very dense gunshots, which sounded like only one or two hundred rifles, and so sparse that they seemed to be no more than an infantry company.
After pausing for a while, the Japanese soldiers gathered up their courage and advanced again. They were not hit by grenades until they were 40 meters away. When they had the courage to advance again, and even roared into the trenches with the mentality of being ambushed by the Chinese, they were surprised to find that
.
There was no one in the trench.
The Chinese, Baga's, ran away.
"Baga" is probably not enough to describe the mood of the Japanese infantry who rushed into the trench at this time, nor is it enough to describe the inner mood of Kubo Masamori who couldn't help but stand up from the bunker after hearing the battle ahead.
