Chapter 204: Fierce Fighting
In the quiet suburbs of Changsha, a dull roar sounded, and in the gray and gloomy sky, more than 20 Japanese fighters were flying over in line on the battle terrain!
"Find a place to hide"!
"Yes"!
Everyone hurriedly jumped to the crater and hid, and at the same time, the soldiers on the forward positions rushed into the bomb shelter!
A moment later, these Japanese planes flew over the position of the 58th Army, and bombs weighing several hundred kilograms fell like heavy rain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Boom"!
"Boom"!
The entire position of the 58th Army was covered with flames, and broken earth and earth flew into the sky in all directions, and the entire position of the 58th Army was bombed everywhere with huge deep pits seven or eight meters wide.
As soon as the Japanese bombers passed, seven or eight zero-hour fighters dived at a low altitude, and the heavy machine guns on the planes began to strafe at a low altitude.
The Japanese planes circled in the distance and flew back again, the bombing continued, the strafing continued, and under such intensive bombardment, some bomb shelters and anti-artillery holes had begun to collapse, and some soldiers were buried inside!
However, now is not the time to rescue, because the Japanese bombing continues, and if they come out to rescue, they will not only be in danger themselves, but also expose their location and increase their damage!
The casualties were still expanding, but they were barely acceptable, and the Japanese bombardment lasted for more than ten minutes before flying away!
"The battalion commander can get out now, right?" Zhao Weiguo said.
"Don't worry, the Japanese shells will arrive soon"!
As soon as the words fell, the Japanese army's position was indeed full of 10,000 cannons, and artillery of various calibers and shells of various types were frantically tilted towards the position of the 58th Army as if they were on display.
"Boom"!
"Boom"!
A loud bang overshadowed it, this round of shelling has been going on for an hour, and the soil on the forward positions and deep positions has not been churned up a few times, and even the soil is a little hot!
"What about front-line casualties"? Sun Du said.
"Hundreds of casualties, and further expansion is ongoing"!
"Inform the troops not to act rashly, don't we have explosives on the river beach?" Sun Du asked.
"Yes, several tons of explosives were buried on the entire first-line river beach, and once the Japanese army got on the river beach, it was enough for them to drink a pot"! Lu Daoyuan said.
"Good! Don't attack, let them come over and detonate and cut them off, and today you will let the little devils who cross the river have no return"! Sun Du slapped the table and said.
"Yes!"
Putting down the phone, Lu Daoyuan picked up the binoculars and looked at it, but saw that the shelling was still continuing, and the infantry of the two Japanese brigades had begun to cross the river under the cover of artillery.
"Notify the front line, put two squadrons of Japanese troops over, and then detonate"!
"Yes"!
"Inform the artillerymen to revise their positions and wait for my order to fire"!
"Yes"!
"Tell the soldiers that the bugle of the charge sounds, and the ministries organize a counterattack"!
"Yes"!
With the fierce suppression of the Japanese army, the forward infantry has successfully landed ashore, and as soon as they come ashore, these Japanese troops will scatter in battle formation and charge towards the position!
As the two squadrons of Japanese troops had already charged past the firebelt, and the follow-up Japanese troops had all gone ashore, and when they were unfolding, a battalion commander suddenly pressed the detonator in his hand!
"Boom"!
"Boom"!
A series of fires exploded on the river beach of several hundred meters, and many Japanese soldiers turned into flying smoke before they could react to what was happening, and many Japanese soldiers were directly hammered into the river by the terrible shock wave generated by the explosion!
In particular, the pebbles on the river beach flew in all directions, which perfectly acted as shrapnel, and almost instantly, the Japanese casualties reached the strength of a squadron.
"Ready"!
"Put"!
"Boom"!
"Boom"!
A series of shells roared and smashed into the river beach, and the Japanese casualties further increased, and at this time, the soldiers who ran into the trenches opened fire one after another, and the entire river beach was full of flying bullets!
Under the fierce firepower, the losses of the Japanese army almost reached the bottom that was difficult to attach, and soon the Japanese army began to retreat, and at this time, everyone on the position began to aim and shoot, and what made the Japanese feel even more headache was that the machine gun position of the 58th Army formed a huge and dense crossfire, and it was difficult to retreat!
"Suppress the Japanese army with firepower and eat the two Japanese squadrons in front"!
"Yes"!
"Grenades!"
"Hit"!
In a command, all the soldiers fired with rifles, threw out grenades and exploded.
The Japanese troops in front of the front could not lift their heads after being beaten, and in the same way, the middle section of the Japanese army was opened by firepower, and it was difficult to reinforce the Japanese troops at the front in a limited way!
Under the completely objective amount of machine-gun fire, the two squadrons of the Japanese army in front of the breakthrough lost more than half of them in just ten minutes, and how could the Japanese army, which was also more than 500, carry the firepower of one division?
"Retreat"!
"Retreat"! As a Japanese officer quickly got up and began to retreat, everyone also opened fire fiercely, and many Japanese soldiers were killed on the way back!
Just when everyone wanted to rush out of the trenches to pursue the Japanese army, the Japanese artillery also roared and smashed over, and the explosion roared on the forward positions of our army, and the Japanese army couldn't care about it at the moment!
"Are all the gas bombs in place"? Shiro Inano said urgently.
"All have been delivered to the artillery positions". This was stated by the chief of staff of a major general.
"Report! Toshida Captain Telegram "! A communications soldier ran in and said.
Shiro Inano took the telegram and looked at it, and immediately said angrily: "Yaga, a bunch of rice buckets!" The casualties of the Chinese army were so large!"
"The order goes down, all the soldiers change into gas masks, inform the front line to use gas bombs, I want to leave not a single living thing on the positions of the Chinese army"!
"Yes"!
"Tell Yu Chengmin and organize a counteroffensive immediately"!
"Yes"!
A moment later, the Japanese army's poison gas bombs flew up with a roar, and the explosion roared into a ball, and the highly toxic gas spread throughout the entire position!
There are not many anti-poison Burmese troops in the 58th Army, but fortunately, they are prepared, and in such a situation, all the infantry quickly covered their mouths and noses with strips of damp cloth and shot at the counterattacking Japanese troops!
At this time, Sun Du resolutely ordered: "Order the artillery, give me concentrated river beach bombardment, the maximum base"!
"Yes"!
"Boom"!
"Boom"!
......
A loud bang sounded, and the charging Japanese troops were also subjected to the most fierce artillery bombardment by our army, and many Japanese troops were blown to minced meat, and the offensive just organized by the Japanese army was quickly suppressed under the fierce artillery fire of our army!
But the Japanese army also ignored a big problem, what is the problem, it is a cold winter, it is really a time of winter wind, and this biting cold wind also helped the 58th Army a big favor at this time!
It didn't take long for your gas bomb to diffuse, and it was blown away by the howling cold wind!
"God help, the little devil will definitely be defeated, notify everyone, and immediately organize a counterattack"!
"Command! All the artillery blocked the Japanese troops on the opposite side to prevent them from reinforcing them, and the others gave me bayonets and took the initiative to attack"!
"Yes"!
After a while, the soldiers in the field took the initiative to jump out of the trench and began to charge at the Japanese army, and just as the Japanese army was shooting in a hurry, hundreds, thousands of smoke-emitting grenades smashed over like a torrential rain!
Many Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces in the roar of the explosion, and just when the remaining Japanese troops were about to organize resistance, rows of light machine guns fired wildly at them!
The soldiers with bayonets on them were getting closer and closer.
Thirty meters.
Twenty meters
Ten meters
Five meters
The white-knuckle battle broke out violently, the sharp bayonet stabbed the chest and throat of the Japanese soldier, and the Burmese knife slashed wildly at the head and waist of the Japanese soldier!
As the large-scale bayonet battle unfolded, the Japanese artillery also lost its advantage, and their firepower could not be fired, and the same Japanese soldiers of the Yunnan army who rushed to kill on three sides were divided into more than a dozen parts, and our army, which was completely superior, directly launched a siege on them!
To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the 58th Army is still a few points worse than that of the 60th Army, but the bloody nature of the people of Yunnan and the fierceness of the people of all ethnic groups are the strongest combat effectiveness now!
Some soldiers were red-eyed, and even broke their bayonets, and some soldiers even had their intestines exposed and shouted wildly, rushing to kill them frantically, either he died, or he killed one more Japanese soldier! The big deal is that the fish dies and the net is broken! Under such circumstances, the Japanese army also realized why the Banyuan Division would call the Dian Army a barbarian army, which was already a fierce charge with complete disregard for life!
The Yunnan army is strong, and the reinforcements of the Japanese army are inconvenient, the surrounded Japanese army has been defeated and retreated, and thousands of corpses have been lying on the river beach in just ten minutes, which shows the cruelty of the battle!
Many of the corpses were even dead and still maintained an attacking posture, and blood flowed down the river beach into the Xinqiang River on the side, some Japanese soldiers, some of their own people...
"Yaga! Order them to retreat quickly"! You Chengmin jumped like thunder.
"But the two armies are now strangling, and we can't help!" A Japanese soldier said.
"Did you see it, most of the soldiers of our army still wore gas masks, and bombarded me with gas bombs"!
"Yes"!
A moment later, dozens of mortars of the Japanese army began to fire violently, and the explosion was not very powerful, so there was no need to worry about killing and injuring a large number of Japanese soldiers!
The poisonous gas soon spread on the position, and the Japanese soldiers were wearing gas masks, but they were not afraid, but many of our soldiers had fallen off the cloth strips in the process of charging, and they were soon exposed to the poisonous gas of the Japanese army!
"Grab the gas masks on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers"!
Taking advantage of the chaos, the remaining more than 800 Japanese troops quickly broke through the encirclement and ran towards the Xinqiang River!
Seeing this, Lu Daoyuan hurriedly ordered: "Launch signal flares, order the troops to retreat along the whole line, the Japanese army is going to shell"!
"Yes"!
"Whoosh"!
"Whoosh"!
Two smoky signal flares exploded in the sky, and the officer leading the team hurriedly ordered: "Quickly retreat and return to the defensive artillery hole"!
"Withdraw"!
Just as everyone carried the wounded and quickly retreated, the distance between them and the Japanese army had been completely widened.
Dozens of Japanese heavy artillery, dozens of Japanese mountain artillery, and hundreds of mortars were ready to be aimed at the retreating 58th Army! (To be continued.) )
