Chapter 807: Charge to the Death
"The Japanese are going to fight hard!" Yu Yang could see the earthy yellow waves of the charge in the distance through the binoculars, all of them were led by officers, and the Japanese officers were very recognizable, some were carrying katanas, some were holding small pistols, and the soldiers wore steel helmets on their heads, while the officers did not wear them, at a glance, the first row seemed to be all officers!
"John, Wang Hao, Lao Zhao, have worked, four hundred meters, they are all officers, shooting targets!" After Yu Yang finished speaking, he picked up a formal rifle beside him, fired a shot at a corpse not far away, tried the weapon, and aimed at a Japanese officer in the distance.
What is the equivalent of aiming at a target three hundred meters away, about twenty or thirty meters away to aim at a rabbit, a very small point, a little careless crosshair will block the target.
Yu Yang moved the barrel slightly, then pulled the trigger, and quickly picked up his telescope to observe the target, but it didn't hit, and there was no way to observe the impact point.
Putting down the formal rifle, Yu Yang picked up his Garand, Garand also installed a 2.5x scope, which was much stronger than the machine sight, the Japanese soldier was already close to about 350 meters, Yu Yang aimed at a Japanese officer who was rushing to the front with a pistol in his hand, and just wanted to shoot, he saw this guy fall to the ground.
Lao Zhao next to him pulled the bolt of the gun and continued to aim at the next one, this guy's marksmanship is much stronger than Yu Yang's, the shooting just now was aimed at the machine, Yu Yang didn't know where to shoot with a shot, but Lao Zhao killed a target.
Adjusting the firing position, Yu Yang shot out another officer, Wang Hao and others also gained, and the Japanese officers who rushed to the front fell six or seven for a while, so that the Japanese officers who originally rushed to the front were like turtles with shrunken heads, and they did not dare to walk in the front.
The officer no longer raised his head, Yu Yang put away his weapon and began to concentrate on directing the battle, and the Japanese were already two hundred meters close to the position.
This time, the Japanese were determined to take the position, and after entering the two-hundred-meter area, some of the soldiers continued to charge, and some of them set up machine gun positions behind.
"Wang Hao, the Japanese have built a machine gun position, and I'll hand it over to you!" After Yu Yang finished speaking, he bent down and walked towards the position on the side, which was still the position of the fifth squad, but there were only three people in the fifth squad, and the rest were all killed, including a seriously wounded man.
The deputy squad leader of the fifth squad held a light machine gun, held a cigarette in his mouth, stared at the Japanese soldiers in the distance, saw Yu Yang coming, turned his head, but was pressed back by Yu Yang's hand: "Continue to stare at the Japanese, hit when you reach a hundred meters, fight to the death, don't worry about ammunition!" After finishing speaking, Yu Yang handed over three more magazines.
"Yes, company commander!"
Yu Yang patted the shoulder of the soldiers of the fifth squad, and continued to walk forward, it was the position of the eighth squad, the eighth squad was a little stronger than the fifth squad, and there were four and a half survivors, half of which referred to two seriously wounded, two people with a broken hand and a broken leg, and two people cooperating with a light machine gun.
The position on the right side was weak, Yu Yang came over and chose a position and squatted down, put the grenade and magazine aside, and looked up at the sky in the distance, the sky had already begun to darken, not the time of sunset, but the dark clouds in the distance, which were about to reach the top of their heads.
In Wang Hao's artillery position, Wang Hao was quickly adjusting the firing angle of the mortar, and the four soldiers beside him were also busy silently, they all knew that now the Seventh Company was really at the critical moment of life and death, and it was up to them whether they could hold the position.
"Is it ready?"
"That's it! Platoon leader! ”
"Okay, try the cannon first, listen to my instructions, and shoot all the shells!" After Wang Hao finished speaking, he took out a high-explosive bomb and put it into the barrel, and with a muffled sound, the shell flew towards the target position, next to a machine gun position that the Japanese had just set up.
"Boom!"
Hitting the target, Wang Hao nodded with satisfaction, took out another shell, began to adjust the position, and prepared to bomb other targets, and the other two guns, each fired a shell, the effect is good, the battlefield is the best teacher, under Wang Hao's teaching, these four artillery soldiers made rapid progress, and the first round of test firing basically hit the target area.
"Okay, each looking for a target, and strive for a shell to kill the little devil a firepower point!" After Wang Hao finished speaking, he continued to fire.
For a while, the artillery positions of the seventh company were under fire, this time Wang Hao did not plan to change the artillery positions, and the Japanese artillery calculated the speed of the shells.
The support of shells allowed the little devils to establish a machine-gun position at about 200 meters, and the Japanese soldiers in the grenadier position were wiped out, and the machine-gun position that had just been erected was pulled out before they could fire a few shots in a hurry.
This time the Japanese soldiers did not open fire in advance, but when the Japanese soldiers were about to approach the position, they began to fire artillery, and six mortars poured shells at the positions of the seventh company, and the Japanese soldiers of the third squadron had gone crazy, and now they did not care about the casualties of their comrades, and they now had only one thought in their hearts, that is, to take the Chinese position on the opposite side.
The shells fell into the position of the seventh company, and a series of explosions sounded, but the casualties brought to the seventh company were very limited, the soldiers of the seventh company were too few, basically there was a soldier every few meters to defend, after the shells fell, at most one soldier could be killed, and more often, not even a single person could be blown up.
"Fire!"
Approaching, the Japanese soldiers entered the area of 100 meters, Yu Yang decisively gave the order to fire, killing the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front with one shot, and the other soldiers of the seventh company also pulled their triggers one after another and began to shoot at the Japanese soldiers in front of the position.
You don't need to aim, as long as you are in the right direction, you can hit the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers on the other side of the river did not think about dodging, they directly charged against the bullets, and after the fall of one soldier, another soldier immediately stepped on the corpse and continued to charge.
Aside from various reasons, the Japanese soldiers in World War II can be said to be one of the most fearless soldiers in the world at that time, which has something to do with the education they received since childhood, just like European and American countries can surrender when the damage reaches one-third or even one-quarter, and the Japanese soldiers are brainwashed into believing that dying in battle is the best destination for a soldier.
The squadron leader gave a death order, these Japanese soldiers could not retreat, and there was only one thought in their minds, that is, to charge, to charge, to charge, to charge, to meet dense fire, like being cut wheat, it was useless at all.
But now the Seventh Company in front of them, there is no intensive firepower, and there are not even many people, and the Japanese soldiers' charge has achieved results, and they rushed across the bridge by taking advantage of the time when Lao Zhao changed the magazine!
