Not far from the Chinese side of Xingkai Lake, there is the frontline temporary headquarters of the Japanese 28th Division. The commander of the 28th Division, Toshiro Naomi, and the chief of staff, Haruyuki Inoue, were standing in front of the map, pointing and discussing.
Inoue Haruyuki said: "General, Colonel Nagano has sent information that our army encountered stubborn resistance from the Soviet army at the beachhead position on the opposite bank, and suffered heavy casualties. The 89th Battalion and the 107th Battalion, the first batch of landings, suffered most of their casualties, including the wounded.
There are less than 300 people left. Major Hebian was killed and Major Kato was seriously injured. Colonel Nagano is organizing forces to attack forward, but the prospect is not optimistic and artillery support is urgently needed."
Toshiro Naomi said: "Xingkai Lake is more than 100 kilometers long from north to south, which is far beyond the range of our army's artillery fire. It is impossible to support them with artillery fire. In this way, let the aircraft assist in the battle and bomb the Soviet fortifications."
Haruyuki Inoue said: "It takes a certain amount of time for our military aircraft to travel back and forth from the airport to the battlefield. Moreover, the Soviet fortifications are very hidden and have camouflage on the outside. It is difficult for our aircraft to capture traces of the fortifications."
When Natsu saw Toshiro, he said, "Is there no other way?"
Inoue Haruyuki said: "Maybe the rocket launcher attack fortifications will be useful."
Toshiro Naomi said: "Then take out all the rocket launchers in stock and use them to attack the Soviet fortifications."
Inoue Haruyuki continued: "General, there is no trick in this kind of beach landing operation. Now we can only use our lives to open a way forward."
When Nagoya saw Toshiro, he said: "Inoue-kun, the next batch will be landed. I will personally take command."
Inoue Haruichi gritted his teeth and said: "General, you need to take charge of the overall situation. I'll go for the next batch."
Toshiro Nami looked at Inoue Haruyuki with great satisfaction. Unless it was absolutely necessary, it was impossible for an officer at the division commander level to come to the front line in person. However, there was precedent for a chief of staff like Inoue Haruyuki to command on the front line. Just now, he just sent Inoue to the front line.
In the Spring Army, Inoue Haruyuki is a sensible person. With him on the front line commanding, he can feel at ease...
On a high ground on the south bank of Xingkai Lake, Cherev's former enemy headquarters is located here. Leng Tiefeng said to Cherev: "Now the development of the war situation is completely under my control. Our army has basically wiped out all the first troops."
Two thousand Japanese troops attacked in one wave, but the second wave of Japanese troops clearly strengthened their command and began to attack the east where our army was relatively weak."
Cherev glanced at the map and asked, "Can you withstand it?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "The Japs are not fully prepared for the strength of our military fortifications. It seems that there should be no problem now. However, I estimate that the next wave of Japs will bring some weapons for attacking fortresses, such as rocket launchers. Therefore, I
The real test for the army should be the next wave of Japanese attacks."
Cherev said: "Very good, now it seems that everything is as we expected. We will see how Toshiro Naomi can handle it next."
"Pass my order, the defenders in the frontline fortifications must fight for every inch of land and not let a single Japanese in!"
"yes!"
The commanders of the two warring parties are competing for wits and courage, and the battle between the two warring parties has also entered a fierce stage.
Nagano gathered more than a thousand people and began to attack the Soviet positions in the east direction, preparing to tear a hole. However, here, Nagano encountered stubborn resistance, especially the DSHK heavyweight in the Soviet fortifications in front.
The machine gun caused huge damage to our own infantry.
Colonel Nagano shouted: "Grenade!"
The two Japanese soldiers put the grenade on the ground, took aim, and fired instantly.
The next moment, the grenade fired from the grenade flew into the Soviet fortifications like it had eyes.
"boom!"
An explosion came from the Soviet fortifications.
The Japs were indeed well-trained elite soldiers, and their grenade fire was extremely accurate. They actually got into the fortifications through the Soviet firing holes and then exploded.
Seeing the grenade accurately hit the target, the Japanese soldiers immediately cheered.
"Onboard!"
The Japanese soldiers let out a cry, got up from the ground and rushed towards the fortifications. However, the next moment, the newly bombed fortifications suddenly spurted out a long tongue of fire again, knocking down all the dozens of Japanese soldiers rushing in front.
On the ground.
"What's going on? Wasn't this fortification bombed by a grenade? How could we still shoot?" Colonel Nagano shouted.
"Colonel, the Soviets use the DSHK heavy machine gun. There is a baffle in front of the machine gun to prevent bullets and grenade fragments. The grenade that was shot just now should have exploded when it hit the baffle." An officer said.
"idiot!"
Colonel Nagano smashed his fist on the ground angrily. Without heavy firepower, the Soviet DSHK heavy machine gun was like an unstoppable beast, constantly beating Japanese soldiers.
Colonel Nagano raised his head and looked around. He was surprised to find that of the more than a thousand soldiers who had followed him in the charge, there were now only less than 500 left. In less than an hour, his own
Half of the army was lost.
Cold sweat continued to drip from Nagano's forehead, and he finally realized that if he continued to fight like this, the only thing waiting for everyone would be death...
Medkov spat several mouthfuls of dust-covered saliva on the ground, and felt much better in his mouth.
"When I was shooting just now, a Japanese grenade hit the DSHK heavy machine gun that Medkov was shooting. Under normal circumstances, Medkov must have been killed, but fortunately, he
The baffle of the DSHK heavy machine gun used blocked the fragments of the grenade explosion, but the blast of air still blew him away.
At the same time, a comrade next to him was very unlucky. He was hit in the forehead by a piece of shrapnel, and streams of blood poured out from the blood holes in his forehead.
Medkov soon woke up, spat two mouthfuls of muddy saliva on the ground, and shouted: "Hurry up and load the bullet, the Japanese are about to attack!"
The two surviving soldiers immediately took a string of ammunition supply chains and placed them on the DSHK machine gun. Medkov roared, pulled the trigger of the machine gun and fired forward.
At this time, the Japanese were charging, and dozens of them were mowed down by machine gun bullets.
"Ah!" A Japanese soldier screamed, and one of his arms was blown away.
"thump!"
A Japanese soldier had half of his head knocked off by a bullet and fell to the ground, but still maintained his posture of charging forward.
"Ah!" A Japanese soldier who was charging forward lowered his head. Only then did he realize that his chest had been punched through, with a hole as big as a fist appearing. His heart had been broken. The Japanese soldier swayed and fell down.
On the ground.
"Japs, come on!" Medkov shouted while shooting. The two Soviet soldiers behind him continued to install the loaded bullet belts on the machine guns.
It was only when all the standing Japanese soldiers fell down and there was no longer a living person in front of him that Medkov sat helplessly on the ground.
"Sergeant, just over three hours have passed and we have killed at least more than 400 Japanese soldiers." A Soviet soldier said.
Medkov said: "The battle has just begun. Do we still have enough ammunition?"
"It's quite sufficient. At this pace, we can hold on even if we fight for another day and night." The Soviet soldier said, pointing back to the area where ammunition was stored near the fortification.
"Okay, let's have a big fight!" Medkov's eyes flashed with a chill...
Nagano Nagano kept praying to Amaterasu to help him survive this near-massacre battle, but his Amaterasu didn't seem too interested in Nagano's prayers. Nagano was shot by a bullet from a DSHK heavy machine gun.
His left arm was blown away, and he kept screaming in pain. Fortunately, Nagano's guards immediately ran over, bandaged him briefly, and carried him to the beach.
Colonel Nagano fell on the beach, gasping for air. From time to time, moans and screams came from all around. Nagano looked around and saw three to four hundred wounded soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness lying on the beach.
Nagano sighed helplessly. It had only been more than an hour since he landed on the beach, and nearly half of the two thousand people he had brought with him had been lost. Although he had also captured a few small bunkers, the overall progress was not very good.
Big, still trapped on the beachhead unable to move.
If this continues, if the third wave of troops rushing to the beach are not equipped with heavy weapons, they will definitely repeat the experience of their own troops. If the Soviet fortifications on the south bank are not destroyed one by one, huge casualties will occur.
Thinking of this, Colonel Nagano struggled to say: "Send a report to the division commander, saying that our army has suffered heavy casualties and requests heavy weapons support."
After Nagano finished speaking, he fell to the ground. It was already midsummer, and the hot sun was scorching the earth. The temperature on the beach was more than 30 degrees. Nagano felt very uncomfortable. He heard a heavy man with a broken leg next to him.
The wounded kept screaming, and Nagano shouted: "Baga Ya Road, the Imperial Japanese soldiers are not afraid of death, so what does it mean to be injured?"
"Water...I want water..." a seriously wounded man who was shot in the head muttered.
At this time, Nagano's guards brought the water. Nagano drank half the bottle of water in one breath, then glanced at the seriously injured man and said, "Give him the rest of the water to drink."
The guard used water to feed the seriously wounded man. The seriously wounded man drank the water, but his body trembled. After struggling for a long time, he stopped moving.
Nagano was startled. At this time, a sergeant crawled over and said: "People who are about to die will have a lot of phlegm blocked in their throats, leaving a small hole in the middle. If you give them water, the water will just block the small hole."
, people can’t breathe and will naturally die soon.”
"So that's it." Nagano nodded and ordered: "Don't give these seriously injured people a lot of water easily."
"Colonel, look, what is that?" Nagano's guard shouted.
Nagano raised his head and looked at the lake in the distance, only to see countless dense black spots heading towards the shore.
"It's our reinforcements that have arrived!" Nagano's dry lips opened with a smile. At the same time, Haruyuki Inoue, chief of staff of the Japanese 28th Division, looked solemn. He knew that whether he succeeded or not would determine whether he could seize the beach and land.
