In the early morning of the third day when the Battle of Luo Wenyu broke out, the Japanese army did not use any new tricks, but the same old tricks.
First the heavy artillery and howitzers started bombarding, and then the mountain artillery relay. However, the bombardment did not last as long as before, and the bombardment stopped after only fifteen minutes.
This is in line with Liu Lang's estimate. Even if the Eighth Division brought enough ammunition to store, they could not stop him from squandering it in the first two days. According to Zhao Ergou's estimate, the Japanese army fired 3,000 howitzers in the first two days, and even more mountain artillery.
At least five basic numbers are required, let alone small guns such as infantry guns in the infantry brigade.
I am afraid that even the Japanese army cannot afford such a huge consumption.
The only change may be that Qi Guangyuan's attacking troops turned into puppet troops. A large number of puppet troops, at least four to five thousand according to Qi Guangyuan's visual inspection, were all concentrated two miles in front of the Heiguoding position.
Liu Lang raised his eyebrows when he heard the news. Sure enough, Xi Yiyi was playing tricks. After Liu Lang communicated with Qi and Dong on the phone yesterday, he had basically guessed what kind of medicine he was selling.
Eighty-eight.
Since he wants the puppet troops to come and die, let them do it! Anyway, Liu Lang has already taken the lead. Whether it is the Japanese or the puppet troops, the battle in the morning is enough for them to have a good drink.
After their own shelling ended, groups of Japanese troops wearing khaki uniforms entered the battlefield under the leadership of officers. This place was already familiar to them. The Chinese were completely defensive. The 500 meters in front of their position should be considered a safe place.
safe.
Moreover, the artillery fire of the Imperial Army was very accurate, almost all hitting within the range of the mountain top. The trenches and anti-gun holes they dug yesterday were still there, and they were not accidentally bombed by our own heavy artillery.
The Chinese position in the distance is being bombarded by mountain artillery. The bombardment will stop in five minutes. They must enter the combat area as soon as possible. In less than a minute, the Chinese will re-enter the position from the damn tunnel.
"Yo Xi, quickly enter the position and prepare the infantry artillery. After the shooting is completed, the 1st team will attack from the front, and the 2nd and 3rd team will attack from the left and right wings. The machine gun team is responsible for suppressing firepower on the Chinese." The 8th Infantry Squadron.
Captain Murakami Shoji pulled out his Nanbu pistol and gave a stylized order with some lull in interest.
As an infantry squadron leader, Murakami Shoji, who has always dreamed of making great achievements, was not in a very good mood at this time. The military order from Nagakawahara Kan's brigade commander was very clear. The intensity of today's attack must be increased, but a desperate attack must not be launched. At the same time,
To reduce troop casualties. Such ambiguous military orders actually only mean one thing. The imperial generals have no intention of breaking through the Chinese positions today. The more important role of today's battle is to consume the Chinese strength like yesterday, whether it is
From personnel to ammunition.
This is simply a shame for the empire. When did the Imperial Japanese Army have to rely on superior force to consume the enemy in order to win? Murakami Shoji was unhappy with the conservative tactics of Major General Nagakawahara Kan and even the division commander Lieutenant General Nishi Giichi.
According to his idea, the warriors of the empire should drown the Chinese people in one fell swoop with wave after wave of attacks. As for death, it is just falling into the arms of Amaterasu. Being loyal to His Majesty the Emperor is everyone's duty.
The dream of an imperial warrior. Fear of death is the exclusive preserve of the cowardly Chinese.
There is no doubt that Captain Murakami Shoji is a very fanatical militarist. Just like that name that can make modern Chinese people laugh out loud, he is really a bit of a genius.
Liu Lang had been targeting these little devils who were eager to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor since last night, which made him feel that the battle was not pleasant.
We won’t know until the battle is over whether we feel happy or not, but it’s true that Murakami Shoji’s feet are hurting right now.
After the infantry artillery fired several rounds to destroy the several fortifications visible in the field of vision, he gave the order to attack, watched his soldiers begin to attack, and strode into the temporary position. Murakami Shoji stepped on a very hard object, even if
Even with heavy cowhide boots, you can feel the hardness of objects, such as very hard stones.
"Damn China, the environment here is really terrible." Murakami Shoji, who was feeling unhappy, was so angry that he used the sole of his tendon shoe to crush hard objects under his feet twice.
What Murakami Shoji never imagined was that the Chinese stone would take revenge, and the reaction would be so strong.
There was a soft "bang" sound similar to the sound of a gunshot. Murakami Shoji felt a sharp pain in the sole of his foot and glanced at the top of his foot.
Murakami Shoji's eyes widened. There was a hole in the cowhide boots. What was even worse was that he could see the bloody feet through the hole.
Can stones also shoot? Murakami Shoji was a little confused for a moment. However, the excruciating pain from the soles of his feet to the tops of his feet not only made him sit down on the ground regardless of the dignity of the squadron leader, but also reminded him that he was a target.
Shot.
Although it was mysterious that the stone could shoot, the bloody feet proved that he was not dreaming.
Murakami Shoji was the first Japanese to be attacked by a supernatural incident, but he was definitely not the last. The Chinese had not even fired yet. No fewer than ten soldiers who were walking forward no more than 50 or 60 meters in front of them screamed and fell.
land.
The well-trained Japanese soldiers immediately lay down and fired at the opposite position. Although they could not even see the Chinese hiding in the trenches at a distance of more than 400 meters, they were still emboldened after all, right? The Chinese's marksmanship is getting better and better.
The more accurate it is, it can actually injure people from more than 400 meters away. How can we fight this battle?
When in the prone position, the bullet-receiving area is reduced to the minimum. Unless the enemy is a super shooter, most people can still save their lives even if they face the terrifying firepower of the machine gun.
It's just that the Japanese army never dreamed that even so, there would still be seven or eight more people rolling on the ground, groaning miserably. The areas where the bullets were fired ranged from thighs to chests. One unlucky guy was shot in the lower body, and rolled his eyes in pain.
It seems that he will die soon.
"Landmine, it's a landmine." Captain Shoji Murakami finally reacted and shouted wildly.
Although his name was a bit awkward, Murakami Shoji, who graduated from the Imperial Army University, still had a good brain. After seeing at a glance that the metallic luster shining from the place he just stepped on was not the sharp stone he imagined, he immediately realized that he was
Stepped on a landmine.
A new type of landmine developed by the Chinese is not very powerful, but it is extremely destructive.
Quickly taking off his shoes and seeing the bleeding hole on his feet, Murakami Shoji felt that the soles of his teeth were hurting. Was this the idea that that bastard came up with? It was really too vicious, he only
If you still want to walk with a penetrating injury, you won't be able to even think about it for a month.
In the smoke of World War II, a miniature mine called the "bullet mine" was born, whose warhead is a bullet.
A bullet mine looks like an iron nail and is hollow inside. It is equipped with a firing pin, a firing pin spring and a simple safety mechanism. Before use, the mine shell needs to be pressed into the ground, and then the bullet is pressed into the mine shell.
When you hear a "click" sound, the firing pin is pressed into place and the safety mechanism blocks the firing pin. When the enemy steps on the bullet mine, the safety mechanism releases the firing pin to strike the primer of the bullet and penetrate the enemy's feet.
The bullet mines with simple structure and easy deployment were not only famous in the middle and late stages of World War II, but also in the future US-Vietnam War, the bullet mines manufactured by Republic Factory 356 also showed great power, causing American soldiers to suffer a lot and the soles of their feet were hit.
Wearing it is really an indescribable pain.
Not only is it painful, but it is also impossible to walk. It can be said that the soldiers who were hit by bullets and mines will basically lose their combat effectiveness in the next month.
And what's even more frightening is that a wounded soldier must be supported by at least one normal soldier. On the battlefield, it is equivalent to two soldiers losing their combat effectiveness. This kind of attrition directly multiplied by 2 has the greatest impact on a combat force.
It's undoubtedly terrifying.
The existence of bullet mines has never been about killing people. Its core idea is: it doesn't want to kill you in the first place.
