Chapter 48: Taiwan Strategy (4)

The 1st Division of the Japanese garrison, which attacked strongly, was menacing, "boom, boom, boom, boom ....." The encirclement of the forward battalion of the 611th Regiment had just been formed, and the Japanese artillery positions a few kilometers away would begin to pour tons and tons of shells onto the fragile defensive positions of the forward battalion of the 611th Regiment. The face-to-face battle between the two armies, www.biquge.info Pen, Qu, and Ge, finally officially began in the rumbling artillery of the 1st Garrison Division. "Bastard, what are you still doing in a daze, immediately ask for help, ask the beachhead landing force to send support immediately." While shocked by the enemy's sharp artillery fire, Zhou Zhengwu, the commander of the forward battalion, shouted and ordered at the communication staff in front of him.

In fact, there was no need for the forward battalion to send a signal for help with walkie-talkies, and after the Japanese shelled the forward battalion, the temporary fleet calculated according to the coordinates sent back by the forward reconnaissance unit. After it was determined that the naval artillery could not effectively bombard the Japanese artillery positions, several carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier had already risen into the air, and they would use white phosphorus bombs to carry out a covering and powerful bombardment of the Japanese artillery positions that were outside the range of the naval guns.

Just when the forward battalion's position was ravaged by Japanese artillery fire, more than 30 helicopter gunships flying from the direction of the beach finally rushed to the sky above the forward battalion's position. Correspondingly, thousands of metal projectiles were fired out of mid-air under the impetus of gunpowder, flying to the ground and faintly approaching the Japanese troops in the forward battalion position.

More than 30 helicopter gunships simultaneously used rapid-fire machine guns to carry out a strong firepower output against the Japanese troops on the ground, which was simply not something that the Japanese troops on the ground could withstand. The rapid-fire machine gun, which has a rate of fire of up to 4,000 rounds per minute, will fire all 5,000 rounds on the chain into an airtight barrage in just over a minute. More than 30 helicopter gunships fired at the same time using rapid-fire machine guns, which means that more than 150,000 rounds of ammunition will fall from the sky at the same time, forming a powerful fire network on the ground.

The gunship group rushed to the sky over the forward battalion and opened fire in time, and from the moment the fireman in the helicopter cabin pressed the fire control switch, it was already a massacre with a huge disparity in combat power. A dense barrage of raindrops fell from the sky, instantly sweeping the Japanese troops gathered on the ground to a large area, accompanied by the smoke column that was hit by the bullets, and a large area of blood mist sprayed and dispersed, mixed with the dying screams of the Japanese soldiers who were shot.

"Good girl, no wonder I always hear the boys in the armored division say that the umbrella is powerful, tsk, this time it really opened my eyes, look at what the little devils have been harmed." The officers and men of the forward battalion, who were originally under siege, have become idle spectators at this time, and the exciting scene in front of them makes everyone in the forward battalion secretly smash their tongues, saying in their hearts that the means of protecting the umbrella are indeed powerful.

The sudden appearance of the helicopter gunship and its strong fire boosted the morale of the forward battalion, and at the same time caused panic among the Japanese troops who had formed an encirclement of the forward battalion. In the case of heavy casualties, the unwilling Japanese troops risked continuing to increase casualties and launched a frantic attack on the position of the forward battalion, but the vast majority of them could not hit the bullets in the chamber of the forward battalion until they died.

"Boom" "Boom" was accompanied by an explosion like the earth shaking the mountain, and the ground under his feet suddenly shook violently, and several bright-colored fire balls rose from the east side of the forward battalion position. "It's the little devil's artillery position that has been knocked out." The walkie-talkie shouted with joy on his face, and stretched out his hand in the direction of the fire that rose outside the position. Just as the officers and men of the forward battalion were cheering with joy, there was another roar from the periphery of the position, and more than a dozen black-painted steel beasts appeared in everyone's sight, and the huge umbrella logo on the steel chariot made the cheers of the officers and men of the forward battalion even higher-pitched.

"Boom" "Boom"..., the moving tanks fired one after another, and even though less than half of the shells hit the target in the first round of shelling, the power generated by the tank guns firing at close range made the last little morale of the Japanese army dissipate in an instant. "You are not allowed to retreat, those who retreat will be shot on the spot, and for the sake of the empire and His Majesty the Emperor, charge forward." In the face of the unfavorable situation, some of the Japanese officers had gone completely insane, brandishing their command knives and intimidating their soldiers to continue the attack.

With a dilemma, groups of Japanese soldiers, under the coercion of officers and overseers, had to take the most primitive pig assault and sacrifice their lives and their companions' lives to the land under them. "Fire, you must not let the little devil pass." On the battlefield where bullets were raining down, although the forward battalion, which had retreated several hundred meters to re-establish its position, was supported by helicopters and tanks, but under the continuous charge and attack of the Japanese troops at the expense of their lives, they were unexpectedly rushed by the Japanese troops to a distance of only 50 meters from the defense line.

"Fire, don't save ammunition, shoot all the bullets to Lao Tzu." The officers of the forward battalion kept roaring, and the concentrated fire of the whole battalion quickly constructed an impermeable death zone on the periphery of the position and the Japanese offensive line, and after paying a certain number of casualties, finally pressed the Japanese troops back to a position 200 meters away from the frenzy.

Looking at the rapidly retreating Japanese army and the gradually stable defense line on his side, Zhou Zhengwu, the commander of the forward battalion, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Reaching out to touch the blood spots on his face, Zhou Zhengwu shouted to his subordinates on the battlefield and encouraged, "Brothers, hold steady, stabilize it for me." Aim and fire again. We'll hold out for another ten minutes at most, and in ten minutes, reinforcements will arrive."

The respite of the forward battalion did not last long, and soon the regrouped Japanese attacked again. The armored vehicles and tanks that were holding down the two wings on the side of the forward battalion also immediately entered the battle, and after the helicopter gunships circling in the air changed the bullet chains, they also continued to use the barrage to intercept the Japanese attacking troops on the ground. Gunshots and explosions rang out immediately, and the dense bullets came and went, and they had completely entered the white-hot battlefield, full of gunsmoke and the smell of blood.

The 1st Division of the Japanese garrison faced more than half of the heavy casualties, and the remaining 3,000 people had already forgotten their fear and death. In the face of the barrage, the only thing they could do was to mechanically pull the trigger of the rifle in their hand and shoot the bullet in the chamber to the opposite side. In the face of the rain of bullets on the battlefield, the Japanese soldiers behaved like robots, under the command of commanders at all levels, taking mechanical steps and using their bodies to face the dense bullets fired by the forward battalion.

Over time, the forward battalion on the defending side showed its weakness of insufficient strength, and if it were not for the help of helicopters and tanks and armored vehicles, they might have been breached by the swarming Japanese garrison divisions. In the bloody offensive and defensive battle that lasted for half an hour, the enemy and our armies had already lost the sharpness and sharpness they had just begun, and as for the current offensive and defensive battles, it was up to them to see the real perseverance of the two armies and who could hold on to the end.

Because of the casualties of the troops and the rapid consumption of ammunition, even the battalion commander Zhou Zhengwu had to pick up the captured Type 38 rifle and participate in the specific battle. Quickly pull the rifle trigger. After shooting a yellow bullet into the body of a little devil a hundred meters away, looking at the fewer and fewer subordinates around him, Zhou Zhengwu couldn't help but turn his head to look at the rear of the position where there was still no movement, and secretly prayed in his heart that reinforcements would arrive soon, otherwise, his forward battalion would all be handed over here tonight.

A few minutes later, just when Zhou Zhengwu was almost in despair, the sound of a motor loomed behind him. Zhou Zhengwu, who was overjoyed, looked at the rear of the position, and a trace of excitement for the rest of his life after the catastrophe appeared on Zhou Zhengwu's face in an instant. Zhou Zhengwu immediately roared excitedly, "Brothers, the reinforcements are coming, you don't need to save bullets for Lao Tzu, give me a hard beating." Shoot all the bullets out of me and avenge the sacrifices of my brothers....." Da da da..., Zhou Zhengwu's order had just been issued, and the interception firepower, which was still sparse just now, suddenly became dense. One by one, the Japanese soldiers, who were getting closer and closer to the position, fell in a pool of blood before they could react from the shock.

Just when the forward battalion was glad that the reinforcements had arrived without restraint and frantically poured bullets at the Japanese army, the troops who landed on the beach had already rushed to the beachhead, and at this time, the sky finally appeared white. "Camp Commander Zhou, thank you for your hard work. The next combat mission will be handed over to my 612th regiment, and your regiment commander will ask your battalion to treat the wounded and repair. "The 612th Regiment, which was ordered to rush to the rescue of the forward battalion, arrived with full strength, and while conveying the order to the forward battalion, it also lined up to carry out a counterattack against the Japanese army.

"The warriors of the Empire, the people of China are running out of bullets, rush forward and kill them all... Kill to ....." Amid the roar of the officer, nearly 1,000 Japanese soldiers who were inspired by the commander were like crazy in the blink of an eye, clutching their weapons and their eyes were red, and they rushed forward desperately. The Japanese did not know about the arrival of the 612th regiment, they only knew at the moment that the firing density of the opposite position had weakened, which was good news for them. 100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters.....Just when the Japanese soldiers, who were already burning and crazy, were getting closer and closer to the forward battalion position. A torrential rain of bullets, under their desperate gaze, rushed into their faces, quickly burrowing into their bodies.
