Chapter 151: Victory is Achieved
I didn't expect that the Japanese troops on the main battlefield would be so vulnerable, and after losing their heavy firepower, their will to fight was much worse than before.
But in fact, the psychological collapse of the Japanese army was not formed overnight, but after the defeat of the Luowenyu Pass, its own artillery brigade was attacked by sneak attack and was bombarded by the Chinese, and then with superior forces, the Mukden Infantry Brigade and the 31st Infantry Wing, which had aircraft and tanks to cooperate, took turns to besiege the Chinese army of less than 1,000 people for a day, suffered heavy losses but could not advance an inch, and then until the temporary 2nd Division, which was pressed and beaten by them, suddenly counter-surrounded them, and the roles of the two sides were reversed, but they became the weak side.
A series of blows caused the Japanese army, whose morale had been extremely low, to completely collapse psychologically after all their heavy firepower was destroyed, like a camel that crushed the last straw.
After all, the army collapsed.
In the face of the fleeing enemy, according to the custom, all officers and soldiers should rush out of the trenches, continue to chase and kill, and expand the results of the battle, but no one gave orders, including Wang Changhai, who was holding a telescope and watching all this coldly.
There is no need to catch up and expand the results of the battle, because no one can outrun bullets, no one can outrun the strafing of heavy machine guns.
Especially when they so brazenly exposed their backs to heavy machine guns.
This is no longer a battle, but a massacre.
Because a large number of Japanese troops turned out of the trenches and ran desperately to the rear, the heavy machine guns and light machine guns no longer suppressed the fire of the few Japanese troops in the trenches, but quickly turned the muzzle of the guns, aimed at the unclear back of the Japanese soldiers, and fired.
The wolf-surging Japanese soldiers fell on the fields of northern China, but none of them tried to dodge the bullets that rained from behind, even if they knew that they could dodge these deadly bullets if they fell to the ground.
They didn't, they were all running desperately, because they knew very well that lying on the ground to avoid bullets now would not die but in the near future would inevitably be a death, and the Chinese who rushed over would not let them go. Running hard, maybe also death, but running out of the range of the Chinese machine guns, you can live.
One must die, the other still has a chance to live, very simple multiple-choice questions.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers, very few of them did the wrong multiple-choice questions, so most of them fell on their way to running at high speed, and many of them outran their comrades, but still did not outrun the bullets.
Less than a third of the Japanese troops were able to run out of the muzzle of a heavy machine gun with an effective range of up to 1,000 meters.
There are also those who are tenacious enough, such as the two infantry squads of the garrison squadron of the 17th Infantry Wing, after trying to suppress those weak-willed colleagues to no avail, they can only do their best and continue to shoot at the four infantry companies of the 217th Regiment in the trenches, which are still advancing firmly.
If we put aside the hatred between the two countries, their firm will to fight deserves respect.
However, respect on the battlefield is to kill all those who resist, and it is the duty of the soldiers.
However, the shooting of 100 men could no longer stop the attack of up to 600 people on the long attack line, and as the Japanese infantry expected, after reaching a distance of nearly 40 meters, the Chinese soldiers took out the most "heavy weapons" they were equipped with---- imitation German-style grenades.
This grenade, which was born for attack, can be thrown at a distance of more than 70 meters, far exceeding the melon grenade of the main defensive type.
The moment more than 500 grenades were thrown, the end of the two infantry squads in the trench was already doomed, and the entire trench was shrouded in gunsmoke and shrapnel flew everywhere.
The four infantry companies had no intention of continuing to throw grenades, and with cold eyes, they pulled out their knives behind their backs and launched a final charge.
Hardly any more effective bullets were fired by the Japanese troops, and the bright light of the sword had already reached the few remaining Japanese soldiers in the trenches.
This time, however, there was no fierce white-knuckle battle, and only thirty or forty Japanese troops remained in the trenches. The Chinese commander was not a fool, knowing that the opponent's troops were insufficient, he ordered the infantry squad to be armed with guns and knives in part, and when they met the Japanese army, they shot first, and the bullets were not finished, and the knife-wielding infantry went up again.
The few remaining Japanese soldiers were shot in the trenches without even having a chance to raise their rifles for white-knuckle combat.
The second line of trenches of the Japanese army was also completely captured, and less than one-third of the Japanese troops fled from this position by relying on their brains and legs, and playing shamelessly.
500 meters away, the two captains of the Dazuo Wing, who had been shocked and numb by everything in front of them, had long since stopped playing "Kong Rong Rang Pear", so they simply came to a joint responsibility system and directly made a decision together, and the whole army retreated.
To put it bluntly, it's just like the rout soldiers who can't even take care of a gun, run!
The central position has been broken, don't run again, stay here to send heads to the Chinese!
Not only did the Chinese play the strong man break his wrist, but the Japanese army was also familiar with it, and directly lost a garrison squadron to rebuild the defensive line in the hillside field, and the two Japanese soldiers began to retreat in great strides with a group of people from the brigade headquarters and the routs who had no will to fight.
This is just a microcosm of the position in front of the Luowenyu Pass.
The 2nd Division and the 218th Regiment, which were responsible for sending troops from the two positions of Hawthorn Valley and Qianzhuzi to besiege the two flanks of the Japanese army, although they did not defeat the Japanese troops on both flanks, they also suppressed the Japanese troops with more than 500 troops on each flank.
Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the 2nd Division and the 218th Regiment handed over most of the heavy machine guns to the 217th Regiment. Before the war, the provisional military conference led by Liu Ruming formulated the tactic of "containing the two wings and breaking through in the center."
Originally, the 2nd Division was to be responsible for the attack on the central position, but Lao Wang, under the banner of saving Liu Lang, a beloved general, also said that he wanted to rob the captured 8 mountain guns for the 37th Division "in large quantities", although the division commander and brigade commander of the 2nd Division scolded Lao Wang in his heart, he could only pinch his nose and give up the task of attacking the main position of the Japanese army to the 217th Regiment.
Who let the 8 mountain cannons now be in the hands of the favorite general! If Liu Lang wants to bring four or five mountain guns back to the 37th Division, then these two really can't say anything, the performance of the death squad on this battlefield is amazing to the entire 29th Army, although the first infantry battalion and pistol company under his command are also not inferior, but Liu Lang is the planner, executor and even leader of tactics, this is a natural advantage.
Although he was very embarrassed and gave the first credit to the 217th Regiment, the 2nd Division still gave Lao Wang 5 heavy machine guns squeezed out, and the 218th Regiment also contributed 2, and Lao Wang had a total of 13 heavy machine guns, which was comparable to an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, otherwise his 6 heavy machine guns in an infantry regiment were not enough for people to fight with heavy firepower.
Naturally, there is no possibility of crushing the Japanese army's psychology.
And with the Japanese brigade headquarters running like this, the Japanese troops on both flanks are naturally floating in military spirit, don't look at them can still support it now, but when the Chinese army that broke through the central position came over, it was the rhythm of being dumplings.
The Chinese can fight for a day when they are surrounded, and that's because they have established positions in the mountains, and mortars have mountain artillery, machine guns, and you let them try one of them less? can survive for half a day, Inoue and Tanabe have changed their surnames to "well" and "Tian".
The Japanese commanders on both flanks resolutely abandoned an infantry squadron, and most of the troops began to follow the two captains of the Wing in great strides.
No, perhaps there should be a brigade commander.
When the two Dazuo left, they didn't forget the stupid old man who was already foaming at the mouth, and the dead one who was thrown here may be chopped off by the Chinese to ask for credit, and the one who is alive is even more not fun, and the Chinese dragged him to various exhibitions.
It's really possible to do it, and if it's not good, you can still collect some ticket money, a living Japanese army major general! That's a rare animal, even if it's a vegetative person!
The Japanese army was retreating frantically, but Liu Ruming was not in a hurry to send a signal to order the whole army to attack.
Although the Japanese army was defeated, the hundred-legged insects did not stiffen, they still had thousands of infantry, as well as heavy artillery, tanks and cavalry wings, if they were bitten back in order to pursue this part of the remnants of the enemy, this was not a good deal for the temporary 2nd Division, which had already suffered heavy losses.
Moreover, even if they want to run, it is not so easy to run away in the mountains! Especially if you have to carry those big ones that weigh several tons.
Unless, blow up those things.
But do they have the courage?
