More than 500 anti-infantry directional landmines were detonated almost simultaneously, and each mine fired thousands of small iron nails. In other words, in less than a second, at least 500,000 small iron nails were fired.
Small iron nails were sputtering all over the street that was less than 500 meters long. Faced with such a high density, there was no blind spot for shooting!
More than a hundred Japs who were advancing rapidly along Beimen Street fell into a pool of blood almost simultaneously. What was even more cruel was that although the small iron nails fired by the anti-infantry directional mines were enough to cause serious injuries and completely lose the combat effectiveness of the Japs, they
Their lives would not be taken away immediately. In an instant, there was a chorus of wailing.
"Ah, my leg, what the hell, it hurts so much!"
"Baga, my eyes, my eyes, I have nothing left."
"Ah, it hurts me so much, it hurts me so much, medic? Medic?!"
"Baga Yalu, what on earth did these damn Chinese people do to us?"
"Onoda-kun, save me, save me quickly, for the sake of our fellow villagers, give me a hand..."
In an instant, the entire attacking Japanese infantry squadron, more than 180 Japanese infantrymen, all fell in a pool of blood, and each screamed more pitifully than the last. It was no less than a hell on earth.
The Japanese tank soldiers in the six T-34 tanks leading in front also discovered something was wrong and quickly stopped. Although the tanks had strong enough protection and even more powerful firepower, without the accompanying protection of the infantry, they could still be easily killed by the infantry.
Kill them, especially in such street fighting, they are more likely to be killed by enemy infantry.
This sudden change made the Japanese a little confused.
More than 180 Japanese infantrymen were lying on the street wailing, but the more than 20 tank soldiers inside the six tanks were confused. They didn't know what to do for a moment. It was definitely not possible to continue to advance. Save people.
?They can't be saved at all, but it doesn't seem possible to just stop here. What should we do?
The little devil was confused, but the officers and soldiers of the independent regiment on the opposite side were not confused.
Almost immediately after more than 500 anti-infantry directional mines were detonated, more than 20 officers and soldiers from the second battalion guard platoon passed through the tunnel and quickly entered more than a dozen private buildings on both sides of the street, and then
The more than 20 officers and soldiers quickly divided into six demolition teams, and each pounced on a T-34 tank!
In years of fighting, the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion have accumulated a wealth of combat experience. When advancing forward, the blasters of the six blasting teams made perfect use of the blind spot of the Japanese tank machine gunner, and occasionally accidentally
When seen, the tank's on-board machine gun is often shot in the blind spot, so the Japanese tank is completely powerless.
At this time, the only thing the Japanese tanks can count on is the Japanese infantry following up.
Unfortunately, the nearly two hundred Japanese infantrymen who followed up for protection had all fallen into a pool of blood. They were only struggling and wailing, and did not care about protecting the tanks at all. In desperation, a T-34 tank
The commander of the vehicle actually opened the top cover of the turret, leaned out from the turret, and held up the bastard box to shoot the onrushing blaster.
But unfortunately, the Japanese commander had just lifted the tortoise box when several gunshots rang out from the houses on both sides. The next moment, the Japanese commander was shot in the head, throat and chest at the same time. His short and stocky body
It swayed twice in the air, and finally fell forward and died on the turret.
In just this moment, six demolitioners rushed into their respective target tanks holding explosive packets. Then they first pulled the fuse, then threw the smoking explosive packets under the Japanese tank, and then another
He turned over and hid a few meters away, and then the explosive packs exploded one after another. All six Japanese tanks were destroyed before they had time to turn around and escape.
Seeing the destruction of six T-34 tanks advancing along Beimen Street, the Second Battalion headquarters immediately cheered.
Immediately afterwards, good news came from the Second Company and the Third Company. The two Japanese infantry squadrons that rushed forward along both sides of Beimen Street and the other two main streets also suffered heavy losses. More than 300 Japanese soldiers attacked.
Most of the infantry were killed, less than ten Japs escaped, and all twelve T-34 tanks responsible for guiding them were destroyed.
The Second Battalion won the first battle. In addition to annihilating nearly three Japanese infantry squadrons, it also destroyed eighteen T-34 tanks, which Ishihara Kanji regarded as its final trump card!
…
The news reached the Japanese frontier observation post outside the north gate. Ishihara Wanji and Koizumi Junzaburo, who was playing chess with him, could not believe their ears. The first attack after the city was broken had failed. This had actually happened to the two old Japanese soldiers.
As expected, if Fengtian City can be captured so easily, Xu Rui will not be worthy of being called the mortal enemy of the empire by His Majesty the Emperor!
However, suffering such a disastrous defeat was something the two old ghosts never expected.
Because he was too shocked, Ishihara Wanji tightly grasped a handful of white pieces in his hand, which made a rattling noise. It really made people worry that the pieces would be broken.
"Yamaguchi-kun, are you saying that the three infantry squadrons that attacked were severely damaged at the same time?" Ishihara Wanji glared at Yamaguchi Jiro, because he was so shocked that even the tone of his voice changed, and it sounded like
He was talking with a pinched voice. The Japanese signal soldiers standing nearby wanted to laugh, but they held it back with great difficulty.
As soon as Ishihara Wanji finished speaking, Koizumi Junzaburo continued: "The eighteen T-34 tanks that fought together were all destroyed by the China Army? All destroyed?"
"Hai!" Yamaguchi's second son paused heavily, his face full of bitterness.
Looking back at this moment, Yamaguchi Jiro still feels like he is dreaming.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, Yamaguchi Tsuto and Nagata Koyama, commander of the 2nd Armored Regiment, were standing outside the gap in the north gate city wall, brazenly saying that they could capture Fengtian City before noon. However, before he could finish his words, something happened in front of him.
The bad news came back that the attacking troops had suffered heavy losses. This gap was so great that ordinary people might not be able to bear it.
Yamaguchi Jiro endured this gap, and because the matter was so important, he hurriedly came to Ishihara Wanji to ask for instructions face to face.
Ishihara Wanji took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down the shock in his chest. Then he released his palms and put the dozen white pieces in his palms back into the chess basket. Then he clapped his hands and asked Yamaguchi Jiro
Said: "Yamaguchi-kun, tell us what is going on? Why did you lose so miserably?"
Ishihara Wan'er's tone was quite calm, but he had already made up his mind.
If this was a fiasco caused by Yamaguchi Jiro's improper command, this time he would have to kill the general in front of the battle line and use Yamaguchi Joshio's head as a sacrifice to the flag!
Yamaguchi Jiro saw the murderous intent hidden in Ishihara's smiling eyes, and immediately took half a step back subconsciously.
However, the next moment, Yamaguchi Tsuta suddenly took a step forward and said proudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, the failure of this attack was not caused by improper command of the humble command, but because the China Army used some unknown weapon!
"
"Nani? An unknown weapon?" Ishihara Wan'er's expression became fierce when he heard this, and asked, "What weapon?"
"I can't even describe this humble position." Yamaguchi Jiro shook his head, because he had only heard the escaped Japanese soldiers talk about the appearance of anti-infantry directional mines, but had never seen it with his own eyes. After finishing speaking, Yamaguchi Jiro was worried that Ishihara Wan'er would not
Believing it, he immediately continued, "But Commander, you can see the killing effect of this weapon."
After saying that, Yamaguchi Jiro waved, and two Japanese soldiers brought in a corpse.
When Yamaguchi Tsuto came to see Ishihara Wanji this time, he was well prepared. He brought the body of one of the Japanese who escaped by chance and died of excessive blood loss to the observation post, in order to exonerate himself and tell Ishihara Wanji the truth.
Well, today's failure was not due to improper command by the second son of Yamaguchi.
Ishihara Kanji and Koizumi Junzaburo couldn't help but gasped after seeing the miserable appearance of the Japanese corpse.
Because the military uniform on the Japanese corpse had been taken off, the dense wounds on the face, neck, and chest were clearly visible. Yamaguchi Jiro turned the corpse over with his own hands, and Ishihara Wanji and Koizumi
Junzaburo suddenly discovered that the back of the corpse also had the same dense wounds.
"This..." Junzaburo Koizumi said in a trembling voice, "What weapon caused this?"
Ishihara Wanji's expression was also shocked, because he had never seen such a wound before.
It's a pity that no one can answer Junzaburo Koizumi's question, at least not Yamaguchi Jiro.
Ishihara took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Yamaguchi-kun, are there any surviving officers and soldiers?"
"Hai." Yamaguchi Jiro paused and said, "There are more than a dozen surviving officers and soldiers, all low-ranking officers have been brought here, and they are outside the observation post at the moment."
"Suoga." Ishihara smiled and nodded, then led Junzaburo Koizumi out of the forward observation post.
Outside the forward observation post, a dozen Japanese soldiers who had narrowly escaped death had already stood in a row. When they saw Ishihara Wanji and Koizumi Junzaburo walking out of the observation post, they quickly nodded. Ishihara Wanji raised his hand and gave a military salute in return.
However, it could be seen that these dozen Japanese soldiers were still in shock. Apparently, they had not yet recovered from the shock they had suffered before.
Ishihara Wanji tried his best to make his tone gentler and asked: "What did you see?"
"Hai!" one of the Japs, Cao Chang, replied, "Your Excellency, Commander, we saw iron boxes, many, many iron boxes, and then countless nails, countless small iron nails, were shot out from the iron boxes, flying all over the sky.
Shoot, you can't find any hiding place, and then my comrades will be shot into a sieve."
When speaking, Captain Cao's tone was still obviously trembling.
Obviously, the Japanese leader Cao has not recovered from the shock.
Ishihara Wanji then asked a dozen other Japanese soldiers, and they all said the same thing. There was a private who was the most frightened, and even stuttered when he spoke. He kept talking for a long time without saying anything, but Ishihara Wanji and Koizumi
Junzaburo has obtained what they want to know, which is a mine that has never appeared before!
