When the bandit soldiers of the first company were too poor and had no grenades, they were good at hitting people on the head with rocks.
In addition, there is such an obvious target as the trench, and it is so close that it is impossible to shoot accurately, so you can really just wash it off and go to sleep.
"Boom, boom" continuous explosions sounded in the trenches.
In fact, saying that Gushan is a small mountain is only relative to the mountains at Luo Wenyu Pass. Gushan is not small. For example, the entire trench on the No. 1 position on the top of the mountain is as wide as 500 meters. Otherwise, the Japanese army would not have sent an entire trench.
No. 200 men of the squadron participated in the attack, and in the end another squadron was thrown in. Up to 300 infantrymen attacked from the left and right directions.
The trench, which is nearly one mile long, is enough to hold more than 100 people from a company. There is also enough safe distance between each person. Even if a mortar shell falls in the trench, it will not kill several people at once.
It's like the scene in the anti-Japanese drama that is popular in the future republic, where everyone is shoulder to shoulder, face to face, with two guns eager to hold the position next to each other. If a grenade flies over, the scene is so beautiful that I dare not watch it.
When it comes to grenades, there are many more Japs than Chinese.
Then again, it is not a problem for more than 100 people to stand in a 500-meter arc trench with several turns, but if there are more than 200 people standing, it will seem a bit crowded.
More than a hundred grenades were thrown at him in consecutive rounds. For the little Japanese who fled in all directions, even if it was not a disaster, it was like crying for his father and mother.
Fujita Ichiro was the first to wake up. As soon as he turned around, he hid in a bomb-proof hole. The sandbags piled at the entrance of the hole effectively blocked the splashing of grenade shrapnel.
The Japanese soldiers with slightly inferior psychological quality could only cry loudly as countless iron grenades were blown into pieces and shrapnel exploded into bloody gourds amidst the explosions of grenades.
Ichiro Fujita saw with his own eyes a soldier holding an eyeball hanging on his cheek and inserting it into the bloody eye socket. Obviously, even if it was temporarily installed, the eye socket with no eyelids could not fix the eyeball at all, and it would not take more than a second.
, it will fall again.
The soldier who couldn't fix his eyes suddenly no longer had to work so hard. A flying grenade shrapnel directly cut off his fragile carotid artery, and the violent spurt of blood even sprayed onto the face of Captain Fujita in the shell-proof hole.
.
Without sticking out his tongue to lick it, Ichiro Fujita knew that human blood is salty and has a fishy smell. The subordinate's blood almost stained Ichiro Fujita's eyes red.
"Kill..." Capt. Fujita, who was full of the Japanese samurai spirit, jumped out of the artillery hole under the stimulation of the blood of his subordinates, pulled out his command knife, and shouted at the Chinese position that he had to raise his neck to see.
gave the order to strike.
As a fairly good grassroots commander of the Japanese Army, Ichiro Fujita's fierceness and decisiveness are undoubtedly evident at this moment. In a trench where he cannot shoot at the opposite side and can only curl up and hope that the enemy's grenades do not fall around him.
It is undoubtedly an extremely stupid behavior, but retreating is even more impossible. It is simply not stupid to hand the back to the guns of the Chinese army who are ready, but to seek death.
The only chance to turn defeat into victory is to attack and charge to the death. The distance of thirty meters is not long. As long as you rush into the position, no one can stop the sharp bayonets of the imperial soldiers.
Ichiro Fujita has this confidence. His squadron once fought with a Chinese battalion on bayonets in Jehol and won a great victory. The cowardly Chinese only lasted a few minutes before collapsing under the bloody bayonets. Several hundred men could finally win.
Only a few dozen people escaped.
Ichiro Fujita believes that this time will be no exception.
Sure enough, when the firepower point in the rear saw that their own troops were howling miserably after being blasted by a bunch of grenades, they quickly opened fire to suppress it. The soldiers of the death row company could no longer stick their heads out and aim at the target and throw grenades into the trenches as before.
Already.
The terrifying firepower of seven or eight heavy machine guns firing at the same time was not ordinary. A row of soldiers who were happily throwing grenades were caught off guard and hit by heavy machine gun bullets. Their chests instantly became an ant's nest, and they didn't even scream.
He vomited blood and fell down in the trench.
The blood spurting out like spring water instantly soaked the hemostatic bag. In the desperate eyes of the soldiers, the eyes of the two soldiers were closed forever.
Another soldier just raised his arm, and his arm was broken by a bullet fired by the Type 92 heavy machine gun. The smoking grenade forced the soldier around him to lie down in the shortest possible time, and there was a "boom"
There was a loud noise, and the exploding grenade almost broke the Chinese soldier whose arm was broken and howled loudly into two pieces.
Even if the two MG42 machine guns fire desperately without sparing bullets, they cannot effectively suppress the eight heavy machine guns. The Japanese have also learned to be smart. Each heavy machine gun has several auxiliary soldiers who spare no effort to carry sandbags and build at any time.
Good machine gun position.
With their own fire support, the little Japs regained their courage and climbed up the two-meter-high trench wall. Their bayonets shone coldly in the spring sunshine.
Then, like their decisive squadron leader Captain Fujita Ichiro, they saw a sight that was rarely seen in their lifetime.
Several big guys, as dark as quilt rolls, were thrown high from behind the Chinese position and smashed towards them.
What is this? If Japanese people understand Henan dialect, they will definitely have this question in their minds.
"Nani?" However, they will only think of their mother tongue first.
"Lie down." Ichiro Fujita gradually saw the big guy flying over and his heart was splitting.
Ichiro Fujita is really going crazy. Damn the Chinese. How did they throw the explosive packets dozens of meters away like grenades?
Fujita Ichiro apparently forgot that the trebuchet, a powerful siege weapon, was first invented in ancient China. When it comes to killing people and fighting, the Chinese ancestors can throw the Japanese pirate ancestors who like to put small flags behind them as far away as Mars.
.
That's right, the daredevil company that hasn't fought in the past few days has only strengthened the fortifications. In his spare time, Zhou Shiyu looked at the dozens of explosive packs stored in the tunnels and felt worried. Those things are specially used to attack cities and defend areas.
It doesn't seem to be of much use.
If it could be shot out like a cannonball, it would be alright. Thinking of this, Zhou Shiyu, who likes to read history books, had an idea and thought of the ancient Chinese trebuchet. There are no bamboos on the ancient mountains, but there are trees. In addition to pine trees, they are also very flexible.
Damn wood.
After many tests, although the throw is not very far, it is still possible to throw it tens to hundreds of meters, just within the range of position No. 1.
As for accuracy, the explosion of an 8-kilogram black powder explosive pack is powerful enough to destroy obstacles within a radius of ten meters. Human bodies within a radius of 20 meters will either be killed or stunned by the huge shock wave generated by the explosion. In this way
Big guy, do you still need to be accurate?
The most difficult thing to control is the flight time of the explosive package in the air and the length of the fuse. If it explodes on your own head before it reaches the destination, it will be a lot of fun. However, this is not a problem for the smart Chinese.
After exploding several explosive packets in succession to calculate the burning speed of the fuse, and then roughly calculating the time from when the explosive packet flew out to landing, the company designed a reasonable fuse length.
However, even if there was a slight deviation and it didn't explode when it landed on the ground, Zhou Shiyu believed that no one would dare to throw down the explosive bag to block it for others. That thing is not a grenade containing dozens of grams of explosives.
An explosive package that explodes in the sky may be more powerful than one that explodes when it lands on the ground, as long as it explodes on the enemy's head.
The power of the simultaneous explosion of five explosive packets thrown at the same time was more frightening than Zhou Shiyu imagined. The huge air wave even shook a row of soldiers more than thirty meters away to the point where they could not stand still in the trench, let alone the naked people.
There was a little devil on the ground who had just rushed out seven or eight meters with a gun.
The power of the simultaneous explosion of five 8KG explosive packages was comparable to the explosion of five heavy howitzers among Japanese soldiers. Dozens of people were thrown up high by the air waves and then fell heavily. In the face of the huge energy of the explosives, the Imperial Japanese Army also
It's not like they are indestructible, and their death is not two points slower than the Chinese who were killed by them.
Those lying on the spot were not much better, as they avoided being swept up by the air waves, but the huge explosion either damaged their internal organs or knocked them unconscious alive.
There were no more than 50 Japanese troops who could escape the first round of explosive charges unscathed. Nearly a squadron of Japanese troops who broke out of the trenches were almost completely wiped out.
Zhou Shiyu, fearing that the power of the explosive packs would be insufficient, ordered another round of ejection. The Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to turn around and run back and jump into the trench were unlucky again. Three full explosive packs fell into the trench, causing an explosion.
The air waves surged along the trenches, lifting nearby Japanese troops directly out of the two-meter-deep trenches.
They miraculously got out of the trenches specially designed by the Chinese for them without relying on their own strength.
However, they could no longer charge with their guns. First, the spears were blown into pieces and flew away. Secondly, they themselves were turned into pieces.
One Japanese soldier strangely stuffed his head between his legs, truly fulfilling the saying: he was ashamed to put his head in his crotch.
I have to say, this is a sad story.
Especially for a Japanese major general who is waiting for victory and a major who is waiting to slap his boss on the butt at any time.
What they saw in the telescope not only broke their glasses, but also broke their hearts.
Of the two complete infantry squadrons, only the grenadiers and machine gunners at the rear were left, and the rest were motionless.
