Chapter 150: Poison Gas! Charge!
Seeing that the plan was discovered, the Japanese army naturally would not launch a large-scale attack if the follow-up forces could not be effectively supported. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Japanese attack lasted only a dozen minutes before retreating, and the two sudden battles ended with the 58th Army gaining the upper hand.
The time went on until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the Japanese attacking forces came to an end one after another, a total of two mixed wings, about the strength of a brigade and regiment, in one offensive.
Before the Japanese infantry came up, the artillery began to exert its might, just like an exhibition, all the cannons were pulled out and fired at the 58th Army, and the 58th Army only had a dozen old mountain guns dragged from Yunnan, and a few of them were even old antiques from the Protectorate War, and they could not effectively suppress the Japanese army.
Although the 58th Army had 82 mortars almost equal to the Japanese army, they were not in the effective range of mortars now, and could only retreat to avoid shelling.
For two whole hours, large-caliber, small-caliber, explosive bombs, and incendiary bombs were bombing the defense line of the 58th Army in turn, and while the Japanese were still bombing, more than a dozen Japanese planes once again flew to the Shicheng Bay and Turtle Mountain areas where the 58th Army was stationed.
After a bombing, the Japanese fighters also began to dive, using machine guns to intensively strafe the trenches of the 58th Army, under such a high-intensity attack, the 58th Army suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, a heavy machine gunner named Wang Dehou hurriedly replaced the magazine box with armor-piercing bullets and fired into the air, but the Japanese planes were fast and had strong firepower, although Wang Dehou's machine gun had some ammunition that penetrated the Japanese planes, but the bullets were not machine guns after all, and they could not cause substantial damage to the Japanese planes.
The Japanese planes circled over the position again and fired fiercely, and Wang Dehou's shooting also attracted the attention of the rest of the heavy machine gunners, and many heavy machine gunners spontaneously switched to armor-piercing shells and fired at the Japanese troops.
Under the concentrated fire of four or five heavy machine guns, a Japanese Zero fighter was riddled with bullet holes, and finally burst into smoke and fire, and fell downward, while the Japanese pilots hurriedly parachuted to escape.
The crowd concentrated on the machine gunners to shoot at it, and finally the killer ended up being killed, that is, after the Japanese plane was shot down, the Japanese planes also flew high into the distance.
"Boom"!
"Boom"!
As soon as the Japanese planes went down, the Japanese artillery opened fire again, and what was more serious was that the Japanese artillery fire also locked on the heavy machine gun positions that exposed their fire and opened fire.
"Quickly transfer with a heavy machine gun"!
In the panic, more than a dozen heavy machine guns were hit by artillery fire, and even the machine gunners were left with no bones, and the Japanese infantry also began to charge after this wave of shelling.
I saw that the Japanese troops in the distance were moving quickly towards the position of the 58th Army in a straggler line, and the same Japanese army's huge number of heavy machine guns and mortars were projecting fire on the front-line positions at one time.
The entire front-line position was still in flames, and at this time, Liu Zhaohai categorically ordered: "Concentrate the mortar fire of the whole regiment and give me a hard blow"!
"Yes!"
Just when the Japanese forward infantry had already gone up to the hillside, dozens of mortars of the Fourth Regiment opened fire fiercely at this time, and one shell after another roared down the mountainside and into the depth of the Japanese army.
In the roar of the explosion, many Japanese soldiers were also killed, but the Japanese troops still charged towards the top of the mountain, just when the Japanese troops on the front line had entered the effective firing range of 50 meters, the garrison troops on the mountain opened fire fiercely after Liu Zhaohai's order, and all the light and heavy machine guns and all the soldiers' firepower fired fiercely at the Japanese troops below the mountain in just a few minutes.
I saw that when some Japanese soldiers were charging, they were suddenly hit by heavy machine guns and opened a huge blood hole, and even some Japanese soldiers were too close to each other, and a heavy machine gun bullet could even kill two Japanese soldiers.
When the same Japanese troops finally rushed to the top of the hill at a huge price, a series of grenades whistled and smashed down, and in the dense explosions, the Japanese attack of hundreds of people was blown away, and the heavy machine gun fire that followed was fierce fire on the Japanese troops.
The Japanese army could not bear the huge casualties and began to retreat, and just when the Japanese troops had just retreated to the middle of the mountain, Liu Zhaohai also resolutely ordered: "All the officers and men of the army should enter the anti-artillery hole and prepare for anti-artillery"!
Just as the Japanese troops withdrew from the fire belt, the Japanese artillery opened fire resolutely, and it was another protracted bombardment, and the Japanese attacking troops also began to touch it during this time period.
Just when the Japanese army took advantage of the soldiers hiding in the anti-artillery holes, and some people in the front army had even climbed over the trenches and were ready to continue the attack, Wang Dehou, who was hiding on the side of the trenches, suddenly said: "The Japanese army is coming!" Fought back"!
At the same time, Wang Decai hurriedly pulled the trigger on his hand, and fired a machine-gun bullet at the Japanese army who rushed to the position, and the vanguard of the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties under the dense firepower.
Some soldiers were shot and killed by Japanese soldiers even when they just got out, and the Japanese artillery fire also stopped when the Japanese front troops rushed to the position, and now hundreds of Japanese troops have been touched on the position, and the same Japanese follow-up troops have also launched a full-scale offensive one after another.
"The mortars opened fire with all their might, blocking the Japanese reinforcements, informing the three battalions to fire quickly to suppress the Japanese reinforcements, and the rest were all bayoneted by me and killed them all"!
Saying that Liu Zhaohai personally led his team to rush up, originally he didn't need to personally lead the troops to rush and kill, but Liu Zhaohai knew in his heart that sixty percent of his regiment were recruits, and it was inevitable that he would not be afraid in the face of such an offensive by the Japanese army, and he would only personally lead the team to charge if he wanted to boost morale, so that no one dared to retreat half a step, and only in this way could they be able to block the attack of the Japanese army.
Under the personal leadership of Regiment Commander Liu Zhaohai, all the living soldiers on the battlefield, whether old or young, whether new or veterans, followed General Liu Zhaohai with bayonets at this time and took the initiative to attack.
The Japanese attack troops and these soldiers from the anti-artillery holes suddenly collided together, bayonets to bayonets, veterans' bayonet skills are not inferior to the Japanese army, compared to the new recruits' bayonets are not good, the gap between the two armies is obvious.
Two recruits and a Japanese soldier who stabbed one Japanese soldier could be calmly stabbed to death by a Japanese soldier, and the same two Yunnan veterans formed an assassination team that could also challenge three or even four Japanese soldiers.
The head of Liu Zhaohai was more direct, he took the Burmese knife brought from Yunnan and personally went into battle to slash and kill, only to see that he had just cut a devil, and a Japanese squad leader rushed up with a katana.
Facing the samurai sword chopped by the Japanese army, Liu Zhaohai suddenly dodged sideways, and then brandished a Burmese knife and cut it down, directly cutting off the arm of the Japanese squad leader, and then the blade swept directly away the throat of the Japanese squad, and then rushed towards the next Japanese army.
There were shouts of killing on the battlefield, people kept falling, and some soldiers even fought with the Japanese in the trenches, and stones, helmets, fists, and teeth became weapons.
I saw a recruit being held down by a strong Japanese soldier and smashed with a helmet, after being hit twice, the soldier's consciousness was blurred, and the blood left made it difficult for him to open his eyes.
The sudden rise of green smoke made the Japanese soldier hurriedly let go and was about to escape, but at this time, the recruit used all his strength to slam the Japanese soldier to the ground and hugged him deadly.
The Japanese soldier's face was full of fear, but this recruit was full of madness and screams!
"Boom"!
A loud bang rang out in the trenches, and the few Japanese soldiers who had just charged over were also hit by the dense shrapnel and fell to the ground, and it was impossible for the recruits on the ground to even collect a complete body at this time, and the same was true for the Japanese soldiers.
The blood of the two, the flesh and blood of the two were mixed together, and they remained on this land forever!
The battle continued, the Japanese follow-up troops were suppressed by heavy fire, and the progress was slow, and most of the same three battalions supported the forward positions from the flanks, and the heavy fire strafed this small hillside, and the Japanese soldiers also suffered heavy casualties and were unsustainable.
also took advantage of this kung fu, the troops led by Liu Zhaohai besieged and killed the vanguard of the Japanese army, and even this Japanese soldier Shaozuo was personally cut down on the position by Liu Zhaohai.
Seeing that the Japanese troops who rushed to the position were almost dead, the commander of a Japanese brigade in charge of the command in the distance personally ordered: "Inform the artillery to open fire, and the follow-up troops put on gas masks and prepare to attack"!
"Hey"!
At this time, there were only a few dozen remnants of Japanese troops on the position, and they were still fighting with Liu Zhaohai and they were in the final battle, and at this time, the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army instantly hit the front line, not only large-caliber shells but also a large number of poison gas bombs.
The forward position was suddenly surrounded by smoke, and many soldiers were lucky not to be killed by Japanese shells, but also inhaled a large amount of poisonous gas, and the entire position was suddenly in chaos.
"Brothers, to retreat is to die! To move forward is to die! Today, the head of the regiment took the lead and rushed out to play with these little devils"!
"Get out!"
The soldiers in the field suddenly shouted, whether it was a new recruit or a veteran, they were not afraid, but became more heroic, or they had already killed the red eyes, and they would not be afraid.
"You hurry up and inform the brigade and them, just say that this place can't be defended, I decided to launch an active charge, contain the Japanese army, and ask him to send reinforcements up quickly, otherwise the position will be broken through"!
"But the captain..."
"But what, get out of here immediately"!
"Yes"!
"Everyone, rush with me"! (To be continued.) )
