Chapter 1549 The battlefield that keeps making mistakes
For a group of enemies who had lost their fighting spirit, Zeng Shui did not express his disdain, or in other words, he did not have so much time to express his emotions.
He continued to shoot with extreme cruelty and ordered Yang Xiaoshan to shoot.
It was no longer a war, but a massacre, just like a hunter holding a shotgun, standing on the commanding heights, and shooting the herds of antelopes running on the grassland without mercy.
Even a Japanese soldier who had completely collapsed would just kneel down and raise his gun high.
Surrender to an enemy he has never met and is destined never to meet. No matter how brave he was, at the moment he knelt down, he was destined to never be a warrior again. The fear of death had completely overwhelmed that enemy.
The Japanese infantry was completely defeated.
At the moment when Yang Xiaoshan hesitated, Zeng Shui still pulled the trigger and shot him in the head.
"Only dead Japs are good Japs!" Zeng Shui taught his students ruthlessly while pulling the trigger.
A qualified sniper must snipe and kill all enemies that can pose a threat to himself and his comrades, whether he is standing or kneeling.
That has nothing to do with hatred, that is the responsibility of a sniper who steps onto the battlefield.
Only with a calm and cold heart can you shoot the most deadly bullets.
Zeng Shui could teach Yang Xiaoshan this principle, but whether he can implement it depends on Yang Xiaoshan himself.
Not everyone can become a qualified sniper just with enough talent and a good teacher.
Not all Japanese soldiers chose to escape and were shot dead one by one by two ruthless gunmen on the tower. There were still more than 30 Japanese soldiers who chose to stay in the ruins of the room and wait for the main force to rescue them.
However, the Chinese soldiers observed the dissipation of the poisonous gas and re-entered the battlefield much faster than the Japanese army imagined. Just when the Japanese army was still hesitating whether to risk the remaining poisonous gas and enter the battlefield, the Chinese soldiers with towels soaked in clean water tied to their mouths and noses
The soldiers have re-entered the battlefield without hesitation.
Not only did they retake all the abandoned positions, they even reoccupied the dozens of meters of positions that the Japanese had voluntarily given up for fear of accidental damage from poison gas. The Japanese frontline commanders had to bite their back teeth and fill in the infantry again, in exchange for terrible casualties.
The places they once occupied.
The Japanese troops who were stranded on the Chinese position and hiding in the houses were certainly destined to die. They could rely on the houses to escape the bullets of the terrible gunmen, but they could not escape the grenades thrown in by the Chinese soldiers.
Just as the Japanese army used its superior force to clear away possible resistance in the ruins and houses, the Chinese soldiers also did not hesitate to throw grenades into houses where enemies were hiding.
Most of the Japanese soldiers were bombed to death inside the house alive, and only a small number were killed by bullets while trying to escape.
The Japanese army's "pulling out" nail plan led by a major-level captain who entered the city wall, the final result was not just chicken feathers everywhere, but not only the chickens were gone, but the feathers were gone, and the entire army was annihilated.
After experiencing a battle between snipers and infantry, Yang Xiaoshan was ordered to leave by Zeng Shui. Zeng Shui had already taught this recruit the most valuable experience.
The new recruits who were promoted from private to sergeant went to the battlefield not to learn anything on the battlefield, but to survive the battlefield first, no matter what method he used.
Zeng Shui himself also left the square tower twenty minutes after Yang Xiaoshan left. Infantry attacks and poison gas attacks could not remove this terrible nail. The Japanese army would use other methods.
Never underestimate your enemy. The words Lang Tuanzuo said to Zeng Shui also saved Zeng Shui.
Forty minutes after Zeng Shui left the square tower, the Japanese army not only pulled the 75-caliber mountain cannon outside the city and bombarded the square tower 1,000 meters away, four bombers also appeared in the sky and dropped bombs on the still conspicuous square tower.
A terrible aerial bomb.
Yes, Hisao Tani, who was unable to use heavy artillery and was at the end of his rope, had shamelessly personally requested help from the navy since noon. Japanese aircraft, which had made more than four rounds and 16 sorties, dropped terrifying aerial bombs on the solid target fortifications.
After the bloody battle over the Chinese capital in the past two days, although Japan's Hainan Airlines was almost not disabled for life, it still had the strength to attack due to its long life, but the Chinese Air Force no longer had the strength to support 300 kilometers.
The Songjiang battlefield was outside, so Japan's Hainan Airlines didn't even have the escort fighter jets.
Of course, it is impossible for the Third Fleet to continue to attack by one squadron or several squadrons as before. Being able to dispatch four at once would already be a great honor to Army Lieutenant General Hisao Tani.
However, the use of four fighter planes to drop four aerial bombs with a total weight of 2,000 pounds at a building like a square tower with only one or two enemies at once was unprecedented even in Japanese naval aviation. If it were not confirmed repeatedly before taking off,
, the Japanese pilots also couldn’t believe that the mighty Imperial Japanese Army could degenerate to such an extent.
Although they have always called those idiots red deer and rustics, they are noble navy! They naturally have that qualification.
There is no huge threat like the Chinese Air Force in the sky over Songjiang, nor is there the threat from ground-based anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns. The Japanese naval aviation pilots can even drop bombs at a low altitude of 600 meters. The accuracy has been improved a lot. Otherwise, they could accidentally drop three bombs.
Those Army bumpkins four hundred meters away were sent to see Amaterasu.
Of course, the aerial bombs at this time did not have laser guidance in the future, and the Japanese HNA pilots were not gods. The accuracy of throwing could be controlled within a range of tens of meters. The aerial bombs did not hit the square tower very accurately, but
Four 500-pound aerial bombs dropped from an altitude of 600 meters can blast through three-meter-thick concrete and generate a terrifying air wave with huge kinetic energy, which is enough to destroy a square tower standing only twenty or thirty meters away.
After being baptized by artillery fire and aerial bombs, the square tower that once reached a height of 42 meters collapsed. Everything from the third floor to the point where it was shot collapsed, leaving only the dilapidated base of the tower, which was only about ten meters tall, as if it was
The entire Songjiang military and civilians remained unyielding.
Even if the sky is filled with artillery fire, what is there to fear?
A firepower point that could continuously and accurately fire bullets from the commanding heights disappeared, but a more terrifying beast was released from the cage.
A god of death who wanders around the ruins of the city and only needs to harvest lives is actually much scarier than the sniper-observer on the tower who is also responsible for reconnaissance of infantry artillery and other firepower points.
Especially after he was angered.
Naturally, the only people who can anger Zeng Shui are the Japanese.
...
The entire battle lasted until dusk. In fact, both China and Japan were exhausted, not only the soldiers fighting in the ruins, but also the frontline commanders of both sides.
They need to constantly adjust their troop strength and position deployment based on the information continuously reported back from the battlefield by the communications troops.
If the Japanese army is like a giant python, relying on its superior strength to fight its way through this intricate city, then the Chinese soldiers hiding in the ruins and houses are divided into groups of several people or at most an infantry squad.
Like groups of soldier ants, they surrounded the Japanese army from all directions, raising their jaws high and trying desperately to cut a piece of meat from the giant python.
What the Japanese commander has to do is to let the giant python under his command break free, break through the Chinese position and devour the command structure in one fell swoop, and then turn around and kill those annoying little ants.
The Chinese commanders fortified the Japanese army at every level along the way. They filled in as many as the python crushed to death, consuming the python's strength and eventually devouring them in a maze from which "it" could not escape.
Of course, in comparison, the pressure on the Chinese commanders is much greater.
For Tokutaro Sakai, if he failed and his officers and soldiers suffered numerous casualties, it would be a shame, but it would not mean that he would lose everything. At least, he would still have some underwear to wear, even if his face was slapped.
But for the three commanders of the 43rd Army, it was not a matter of shame or shame. It was the end of everything, including themselves.
Any mistake may cause the whole situation to be lost.
In more than 6 hours of uninterrupted fighting, the Japanese army was making mistakes and suffering huge losses. The 43rd Army was also making mistakes.
An infantry squad was surrounded, and the other two infantry squads of its infantry platoon went to rescue them. The troops were insufficient and they called for rescue again. The final result was that four infantry squads, nearly one and a half infantry platoons, were gathered together by the Japanese invaders and one infantry squadron was killed.
They were surrounded, and the Japanese came to encircle them for reinforcements.
If the commander of the infantry battalion had not discovered something was wrong and personally held a pistol to the head of the wailing lieutenant commander and ordered no further reinforcements, the remaining half of the infantry platoon of the infantry company would have jumped into the Japanese army.
trap.
Afterwards, cold gunmen lurking on the battlefield proved that the infantry battalion commander's judgment was completely correct. In order to ambush the Chinese army, the Japanese army in the area deployed two infantry squadrons to ambush in the area, not to mention that there were only 80 people left.
Even if his entire infantry battalion were to fill in the small infantry company, he didn't know how many people would be left.
However, the price of the mistake was too heavy. When they found that the Chinese army was no longer fooled, the Japanese army, which had completely closed the encirclement, launched an attack on the area where the four infantry squads were located. However, that area did not have access to the underground pipe network and could not provide support. They
There is no way to retreat.
The gunfire of resistance lasted for a full 40 minutes, and the anxious mortar gunners who put their mortars into combat positions also waited eagerly for 40 minutes. While their brothers who could no longer receive assistance were fighting bloody battles,
Unable to provide final support.
It's not that they want to save artillery shells, but that they also have more than 40 brothers in that area, and the Japanese also respond to them in their own way.
The infantry battalion commander even squatted on the ground and cried like a five-year-old child at the moment when the gunfire from his four infantry squads completely stopped, but he never gave the order to fire.
Although Commander Jie Guji, who heard the news, had given him the right to command the artillery directly under the regiment headquarters to fire artillery. But the infantry battalion commander, whose mind was filled with sadness, still remembered that more than six cold-blooded gunners were deployed there.
, their mission is not to save people, but to kill people. They are also comrades-in-arms and brothers.
Of course, this kind of encirclement and counter-encirclement occurs on the battlefield all the time, and the Japanese also made the mistake of having an infantry detachment or even two infantry detachments be encircled and eventually the entire army was annihilated.
What was more serious than this mistake was that the defense line was breached. If Zhuang Er and Fan Tong, two special forces responsible for guarding the regiment headquarters, had not called the police in time, a team of nearly 20 people would have appeared only 150 meters away from the 152 regiment headquarters.
The Japanese squad in the distance almost carried out a beheading operation on the 152nd Regiment headquarters, which had only one infantry squad guard.
The Japanese squad that was discovered by two special forces soldiers was surrounded by Chinese soldiers who came back to support the siege. At the cost of five people dying in battle, most of them still managed to escape successfully.
This shows that the Japanese army not only continued to use roundabout tactics, but there were still many loopholes in the entire line of defense.
