However, although the independent battalion was a little short-lived and had not yet had time to develop the faith to ensure a firm will to fight, they had a trait that the Japanese army did not have.
They are all soldiers crawling out of the dead.
Whether it is Zhao Daqiang who fought with the 26th Division in Songhu, or the veterans of the Sixing Battalion who fought fiercely with the 88th Division in Songhu for two months, or the soldiers of the Songjiang Security Regiment who have experienced the battlefields of Songjiang and Jiashan, without exception, they are all at a disadvantage
Soldiers who fought against the Japanese army on the battlefield and survived in the end.
There are planes laying eggs above their heads, and heavy artillery bombardment. They see their comrades being killed and shattered around them one by one, but they cannot cry weakly. They have to hold on to the guns in their hands. As long as they do not die, they must
Continue fighting.
He wandered on the edge of death again and again and survived. The most terrifying thing is that this cycle of life and death seems to have no end.
They kept retreating and the Japanese troops kept advancing, giving people the illusion that they would all die sooner or later.
When you wake up every day and think about whether you can survive today, normal people will turn into crazy people under the psychological pressure.
But these people are not crazy! Their psychology is constantly being tempered in such a furnace that uses life as raw material, just like a piece of pig iron being tempered into fine steel.
In terms of ability to withstand pressure alone, they are stronger than the so-called "Steel Army" of the Japanese.
If the Japanese infantry led by Ozawa Riko are really made of steel, then the officers and soldiers of the 4th Company can be called diamonds, and their hardness must be at least two levels stronger.
Faced with the toughness of the Japanese army, they were surprised, but none of them panicked. They continued to follow the instructions of the platoon leader and squad leaders, unleashing firepower desperately to suppress the Japanese army.
You are not afraid of death, we are not afraid of wasting bullets!
Then the battlefield evolved into a situation where the Japanese soldiers, who were frightened by the Molotov cocktails, no longer dared to charge regardless, but refused to leave, trying to find a way up the hillside.
Seeing that the Japanese army was not defeated as quickly as expected, Zhao Daqiang, who had put away his desire for a quick victory, changed his tactics, maintained fire suppression, and pinned the Japanese army in the fire field or on the mountain road, and then concentrated heavy firepower to eliminate the Japanese army that resisted the most stubbornly.
Wait until the number of people is reduced to about the same, then kill them all in one fell swoop.
Anyway, the Japanese army could not throw the melon grenade onto the mountain ridge about 20 meters high and more than 30 meters away. The only Japanese grenade that could pose a threat to them could not form a continuous throw. Ten precision shooters who were ordered to lurk everywhere
Always looking for traces of them.
As for the Japanese Taisho 11 young machine guns, there is no need for mortars. The 10 light machine guns on the mountain ridge alone can make the bracket reach 30 centimeters, resulting in the shooter having to expose most of the Japanese machine guns on his upper body.
Beat it to slag.
There are many weapons with good performance among Japanese weapons, such as grenades and Type 38 rifles. These seizures will make the commanders very happy, but the commanders will not take them seriously, such as the Taisho 11 young machine gun or the Southern-style pistol.
The officers and soldiers of the independent battalion, who were too lazy to look at it and had seen the world, also looked disgusted.
That is to say, the artillerymen are basically not equipped with rifles, and can only wear a southern-style pistol to show off. As long as it does not jam, they can still defend themselves within thirty meters.
The Taisho 11 young machine gun, which was both delicate and put the shooter in danger, was completely abandoned by the independent battalion, and was used by Tang Dao to give favors to Commander Gu of the 128th Division.
The officers and soldiers of the 4th Company, who had Czech light machine guns with at least superior performance and more numbers, were naturally not afraid of the Japanese light machine gun firepower.
The falling imperial infantry figures made the Japanese infantry captain's eyes full of despair. At this time, instead of feeling sad about the death of a rabbit, he felt that the noose in the hands of the Chinese was tightening.
Ozawa certainly knew his opponent's plan. What the Chinese only consumed was ammunition and patience, but what he consumed was human life. It was a completely unequal consumption.
However, other than constantly driving soldiers into the battlefield to shoot at the Chinese and then die, there is no way to think of a solution.
After the war, an inventory was conducted and it was found that the 4th company's two heavy machine guns and 10 light machine guns, plus 12 submachine guns, shell guns, and rifles, had fired a total of 20,000 rounds of ammunition.
On average, each person fired nearly 70 rounds of bullets. This may not be an extraordinary figure for Western armies equipped with a large number of automatic firearms, but for the Eastern battlefield, this is almost a ceiling level.
The Japanese Army is already considered the strongest army in the East. In each battle, an individual soldier will be equipped with 120 rounds of ammunition. The spare ammunition of a light machine gun can reach 1,000 rounds, and the heavy machine gun can even reach 5,000 rounds. This makes all Chinese
The amount of ammunition that soldiers drool over.
You know, the army in the mountains that just wears the badge of blue sky and white sun, fights a big battle, and each soldier can be equipped with 20 rounds of bullets, which is what the soldiers dream of.
This may be the record for the most bullets fired by a Chinese infantry company-level unit in this large-scale battle that lasted for several months.
In fact, the Japanese army could not catch up.
Even Tang Dao, who had equipped them with a large amount of ammunition before the war, couldn't help but cursed in distress after hearing Master Zhuang's report: "What a bastard, Zhao Daqiang, this prodigal son!"
As a battalion commander, the most he could do was to think that even if his life was over, he would kill the Japanese, but he still had to live his life after all.
Just like the explosive packets thrown by "unscrupulous cannons", he finally ordered Master Zhuang to keep 150 of them. It was not that he did not have the courage to risk everything, but that Tong Yi and Leng Feng were still in Qinglongling Village, and he had to do it for them.
Rescue them and leave their trump cards behind.
But Zhao Daqiang was so desperate that he used bullets to win.
The terrible firepower output resulted in a large number of Japanese casualties.
A complete infantry squadron plus a baggage team of nearly a hundred people, with a total strength of more than 290 Japanese troops. On this battlefield led by Lieutenant Zhao Daqiang's "Fuze firepower coverage", the number of Japanese troops who can retreat will never exceed 80.
people.
In other words, an integrated infantry squadron was consumed by 20,000 rounds of ammunition, 300 grenades, and 140 Molotov cocktails.
As for the 4th Company, in this fire suppression battle, only 3 people were killed and 8 injured, most of them were minor injuries. There were even two injured people who accidentally injured their feet while changing positions on the mountain ridge due to their own carelessness.
He slipped and fell, and the blood dripping on his face from being scratched by a sharp stone looked scary, but in fact it didn't affect his combat effectiveness at all.
The battle loss ratio of more than 20 to 1 is probably only comparable to the battle of four lines and one battle.
As the commander of this battle, Zhao Daqiang smiled.
Unless the earth dragon turns over and buries everyone in the mountains, he will definitely win this battle.
However, the 80-man Japanese army only consisted of two infantry squads, and they had no heavy weapons.
Yes, the Japanese army had grenade launchers. From the two minutes before the Japanese army began to withdraw down the hillside, no more grenades flew up the mountain.
Ten carefully selected precision shooters played a huge role. Even though each of them fired at most ten bullets, their results put all machine gunners to shame.
Almost all the grenade launchers and most of the Japanese machine gun shooters died under their cold fire.
Rison Ozawa is still alive.
As the supreme commander, he had the privilege of hiding in the rear and giving orders without charging forward, and the big rock he chose on the hillside made it impossible for the Chinese infantry to deal with him.
But the body is alive, but the heart is almost dead.
Although there are still dozens of troops, there are no light machine guns or grenade launchers, so they only have 38 rifles, plus the Southern Fourteenth pistol in his hand...
Baga, is there such a pure light infantry?
At this moment, the color of his little face was the same as that of the Army Colonel who was still struggling in the valley.
But obviously, this army captain was more miserable. The opponent he met was a madman.
The madman's commander still had reservations, but the madman was proving to all the Japanese troops that not all Chinese troops were extremely poor.
The top officer of this army is the clever son of a rich man.
