Chapter 763: Battle on the Tidal Flats (1)
The captain of the devil brigade shouted several times in a row to the signal soldiers, and then he gave another order for the soldiers to dodge.
It didn't take long for the devil's communications corps to receive an order from the wing headquarters.
"Captain, the co-captain ordered our brigade not to entangle with the defenders of the Nanshan position, and our brigade continued to advance and reinforce Madang Fortress!"
After the captain of the devil brigade received the order, he immediately gave tactical instructions to the devil soldiers around him.
"Imperial soldiers, don't care about the artillery fire of the Chinese artillery, everyone disperses and rushes forward!!"
The devil soldiers got up from the ground, they scattered, bent over, and quickly advanced towards the tidal flats.
Heavy artillery fire exploded around the tidal flats, and the devil soldiers charged forward regardless of casualties.
After more than ten minutes, the devil soldiers moved forward in groups for two or three hundred meters.
The mudflats were densely covered with shell craters, and the panicked devils stepped on mines from time to time, and at least two or three hundred Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded under artillery fire.
"Ahh......h
The little devil has no cover to use, and advancing under such artillery fire is simply an act of looking for death.
Soon, Li Hong rushed to the position of the beach guard company with the guard troops.
The position of the guard company was very well chosen, their position was a shoal by the Yangtze River, surrounded by pebbles of various sizes.
The large pebbles weigh several tons and are like a glimpse of a stone wall, and the smaller ones can be used as a single bunker wall.
The pebbles are very hard, and ordinary machine gun bullets and grenadiers have no effect on the stones.
The officers and men of the Guard Platoon and the 7th Company guarding the position, using stones as cover, all of them hid behind the stone walls.
"Tuanza, the little devil is less than 200 meters away from our position, can you fight?" The commander of the seventh company held the submachine gun and asked Li Hong next to him for instructions.
"Wait, let the little devil go another 50 meters."
After Li Hong finished speaking, he lifted the MG-34 machine gun and aimed at the devil soldiers who were slowly touching it.
The rest of the soldiers were ready for battle, and they aimed their guns at the moving figures on the shallows.
When the little devil moved forward a few dozen meters closer, Li Hong quickly pulled the pistol and shot at the devil soldier in front of him unceremoniously.
"Dada, dada!!"
Machine guns rang out all around.
As soon as the other soldiers heard Li Hong's gunshots, they also opened fire one after another, shooting mercilessly at the devil soldiers.
"Da Da Da, Tu Tu !!"
"Suddenly, suddenly, ......"
Suddenly, a dense burst of machine-gun and submachine gun fire rang out from the positions near the shoal.
Although there are less than 200 officers and men in the guard platoon plus the seventh company, they are all equipped with automatic weapons, and their firepower is much stronger than that of the little devils.
The soldiers of the security regiment opened fire, and for a while, thousands of bullets were fired at the devil soldiers who were moving in the shallows.
"Uhhh......h
The devil soldiers who rushed in front were the first to be shot by a rain of bullets, and the devil soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground.
The firepower of the security regiment was very strong, and when this wave of strafing fire, nearly 100 little devils fell, and the enemy fell on the beach in groups.
"Baga, be careful of the ambush, hide !! quickly"
"Quickly establish a defensive position, machine gunner fire to suppress !!"
The devil soldiers reacted quickly, and they fell to the ground and counterattacked with their weapons at the point of fire that was fired in front of them.
Immediately, the devil machine gunner set up the machine gun and established a fire position as quickly as possible.
With the help of inferior bunkers, the devils kept firing at the security group, and a dense rain of bullets flew towards the shoal position.
"Papapa, papapa!!"
"Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, !!"
Suddenly, gunfire erupted on the riverbank, and countless bullets shuttled through the darkness.
Although the firepower of the little devil is not as good as that of the security regiment, the number of devil soldiers is several times that of the security regiment, so there are more devils and guns, and the firepower should not be underestimated.
"There are not many soldiers in China, and the Imperial soldiers kill them!!"
The captain of the devil's brigade judged the number of the security regiment from the fire of the shoal position, and in turn, he ordered the artillery units to carry out counter-suppression.
As soon as the battle began, the devils tried to concentrate their fire on the security regiment on the position.
Then, the devil artillery on the tidal flats behind concentrated a number of grenadiers and mortars to aim at Li Hong's position.
"Grenadier attack, mortar suppression !!"
The devil commander shouted the order, and a group of devil loaders put the grenade into the barrel.
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Tom, tom, tom......"
The sound of muffled shelling from grenadiers and mortars.
One grenade after another flew into the air, then exploded near the shoal position.
In the face of the enemy's frantic fire counterattack, the officers and men of the guard platoon and the 7th company hid behind the stone wall, hiding from the enemy's fire suppression.
The devil's machine-gun and rifle bullets hit the solid cobblestones, bursting with speckled fire, which were not very destructive at all.
Not only that, but the grenadiers and mortars of the devils could not shake the stone wall, and the soldiers of the security regiment on the shoal position did not suffer any major casualties at all.
From a tactical point of view, the security regiment has strong weapons and firepower, and it is not difficult to annihilate the little devils who have no fortifications to cover.
The officers and men of the guard platoon and the seventh company were relatively scattered, and the defensive line was four or five hundred meters long, but they relied on their powerful firepower to easily block several times the enemy.
Originally, the captain of the devil wanted to rely on the advantage of firepower to attack one point and tear apart Li Hong's defensive position, but the devil was wrong, and the overall combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the security regiment was far beyond their imagination.
"Yaga, the firepower of the soldiers in China is too strong!!"
"Grenadier, drip, drip, kill the machine-gun position of the soldiers, and the infantry charge forward......"
The devil soldiers shouted loudly, and the infantry took their weapons and moved forward to attack while shooting.
The light and heavy machine guns of the Devils were built on various commanding heights, and the experienced Devil machine gunners fired cross-fire, covering the advance of the Devil infantry in front.
Each squad of the security regiment was equipped with bazookas, and the bazooka soldiers of the seventh company carried bazookas to move quickly on the position, and then they used bazookas to attack the machine gun positions of the devils.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Bazooka grenades whistled out and smashed around the Devil's machine-gun position.
The light of the shooting fire is very conspicuous at night, and the devil's machine gun will be exposed as soon as it fires, so it is easy to be hit.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Explosions rang out one after another, and grenades exploded around the Devil's machine-gun position.
The devil machine gunner and the co-shooter, with men and weapons blasted out from behind the bunker, and the corpses fell to the side.
