Chapter 345: Fujii's Madness
More than two hundred and seventy eighty people, equivalent to six infantry squads, were destroyed.
The Japanese soldiers who were injured by the bombing were often more serious, and there were not many minor injuries.
Shrapnel is much more powerful than bullet fire.
The kinetic energy is large, and it is fully released on the enemy's body, basically, after being injured, you have to lie on the ground and honestly give me a few hours of rest before my body can recover.
Combat effectiveness is gone.
On the left flank of the Japanese army, there was an infantry brigade of more than 1,000 people, but just the artillery fire killed a quarter of the devil's troops, which was not a joke.
The damage to the devil is very great.
And psychologically.
Originally, the Japanese army was triumphant and determined to win, and said that if the imperial artillery smashed at the head of the Chinese army, it would destroy most of the Chinese army's troops.
An easy victory, suddenly it turns sour, what do you call it!
"What's wrong?"
"Shells, ahem, ahem, why did they hit us on the head?"
"Blind, damned artilleryman, idiot!"
At first, they shouted and cursed, and then, the Japanese soldiers were well-behaved, and they all lay down and hid.
The Japanese positions were different from the three infantry battalions of the Chinese army on the Western Front.
The Chinese troops, who had been prepared for a long time, began to dig all kinds of fortifications as soon as they got there, especially the trenches for individual defense, the caves on the side walls, and the anti-artillery holes, you can blow them up at will, and our wounded troops are very limited!
The Japanese were on the attacking side, thinking that there was artillery suppression and that they didn't need so many fortifications, so they rarely dug up, basically, they were exposed outside.
That shell smashed down, bloomed on all sides, shrapnel splashed, can it hurt people?
The Japanese army suffered a lot of casualties, the mood was much worse, and the morale was depressed by several percent!
There was no way, the shells continued to bombard, so they could only retreat, and at the same time send cavalry to accommodate the county town here.
"Ask them artillery, ask our wing commander, the artillery commander is blind?"
"Hayi!"
The captain of the Japanese infantry group on the left flank didn't know that the man of Baga, the commander of the artillery unit, whom he cursed, was already ancient.
was hacked to death by Yang Chaoran's cavalry and became a pile of stinky meat.
Also, the Wing Commander who he wanted the soldiers to complain about has also become a corpse specimen!
He lay down on the wall in a proper manner and died.
"Damn, fortunately it's the imperial army, otherwise, with such a big casualty, the morale of this unit has collapsed, it's really hateful, and the imperial army was blown up by its own artillery!"
In the southeast, after the Japanese army was also bombed, it lost more than 50 people and an infantry squad.
This was still the loss caused by the fact that the Japanese army was quite scattered.
Strictly speaking, both are an infantry brigade.
The Japanese infantry brigade on the left flank had already lost more than 330 people.
Two infantry squadrons?
It's horrible!
The people who went to make contact were two cavalrymen, but unfortunately, not long after rushing out, one was blown away by a shell, and one was wounded.
It just so happened that Miss Kurizono Yunzi came here and rescued the wounded, and when she asked, she became excited: "Warrior, you hold on, I think I will complete this glorious task for you!" ”
Kurizon Yunzi sent a few subordinates to take care of the wounded soldiers' messengers, and he took three people with him, and rushed to the county seat.
Another, on the Western Front, the Japanese right flank infantry brigade was still besieging, but they received a notice from the Japanese army in the north: "The artillery has mutinied!" ”
"What?"
"No, no, it's the artillery positions that have been lost, the enemy has snatched the artillery and is bombarding us!"
As soon as the words fell, a cannonball flew over and killed the Japanese signal soldier who was talking.
The Japanese army there looked up at the Big Dipper......
Because the mountain artillery and the field artillery were both howitzers, plus a curved infantry gun, the shells were sent into the sky and smashed down.
Boom, boom, boom.
Several, a dozen soldiers flew away like toys.
The Japanese forces in the north, especially in the northeast, were the first to notice the problem and had already sent infantry back.
The Chinese army's anti-aircraft artillery and machine guns bombed and strafed the enemy here.
Both Japanese attacks failed.
In desperation, the Japanese army mobilized another force.
Sakurai Brigade.
Captain Fujii joined the Western Front with his troops, more than 500 men, and was furious when he learned of the change in artillery.
He immediately volunteered to take all his men and horses and kill them.
This was the third large-scale offensive of the enemy.
More than 500 people, not a small number!
A massive attack at the level of an infantry battalion.
The battle was fierce.
Fujii's troops quickly divided into two directions and launched a surprise attack on Yang Chaoran's artillery position.
Machine gun strafing, mortar and grenadier shelling, machine gun shelling.
In an emergency, the Japanese also called in a bomber formation to reinforce it.
Shoot on the one hand, suppress the fire, and storm on the other.
The Japanese officers and soldiers were extremely brave.
Everyone knows how dangerous it is to lose artillery positions and be hit back by the Chinese army.
Huh.
Since the devil has come to die, the artillery of the independent regiment cannot but express it a little.
Adjust all the machine guns here and aim them at the devil attack troops.
The battle artillery and mountain artillery will also be aimed at the enemy.
Shoot!
Boom, boom, boom.
This is bullying.
There is also a direct-aiming type of infantry artillery, aiming at the enemy and bombarding it, and if you go down with one shot, it doesn't matter where you are hiding.
Both sides fought.
The Japanese soldiers charged desperately, and soon, rushing through the interception of artillery fire, reached the edge of the position.
Traveling here, you?
There are thousands of Chinese troops here.
Ahem, in fact, there are a large number of ordinary people in it.
Gun-grabbing, very seriously!
The enemy rushed fifty or sixty meters, and the officers of the Chinese troops gave the order and opened fire.
Suddenly, hundreds of people came out of the fortifications and swept at the Japanese army.
The first wave of the devil's charge was quickly wiped out.
Second wave, third wave |!
The devil Captain Fujii is out of the way.
Both sides fought desperately.
However, the Chinese army had a large number of people, and there were also positions and fortifications, and the artillery fire was much more ferocious.
The Japanese had to retreat.
Captain Fujii's eyes were straight.
He mobilized a force of one hundred and fifty people to attack fiercely, and now, defeated, about a hundred people were killed and wounded, and the corpses were thrown on the position and could not be transported back!
The Japanese soldiers who stood up on the position, that is the absolute lineup luxury!
Fujii's eyes welled up with tears.
This was the first time he took the command of the captain of the brigade, and he suffered a brutal defeat.
Now what?
He ordered the officers and soldiers to shoot at the Chinese troops.
Dig trenches, shoot hard, that's all.
Regardless of that aspect, his troops did not prevail, this is a lesson in blood.
He began to calm down, called for the radio, repeatedly called for help from the brigade, begged for reinforcements, and bombed the Chinese army.
Suddenly, he remembered something: "What about our poison gas?" Gas! Quick, how many gas bombs and gas cartridges can be used? ”
There was very little poison gas, they shifted the battlefield three times and twice, and those clumsy things were lost to other troops.
However, there is still a little bit in hand, which is better than nothing.
"Quick, gas, use on the enemy!"
