Chapter 279: Deadly Trenches
------------
? The spearmen's assault on the jungle again went unusually well, and under the cover of the two-wing machine guns, they quickly entered the jungle. At this time, there were no people or corpses in the jungle except for bullet casings scattered on the ground and some broken branches and leaves. Cao Chang, who led the team, didn't care about thinking carefully, so he commanded the top soldiers to scatter in the jungle in three ways according to the prior arrangement and began to search.
The Burmese are keenly in the jungle, as if they were born to be the masters of the jungle, but after searching in the jungle for only a dozen meters, the Burmese in a squad of sharp soldiers found blood stains in the grass. As if they had seen a bloody beast, the spearmen who had chased into the jungle began to get excited, and then the three spearhead squads formed into a single force, and under the guidance of the Burmese, they chased down the blood trail on the ground.
The pursuit was long and tedious, and the spearmen had already penetrated deep into the jungle as far and further as they pursued it, and if it weren't for the intermittent bloodstains on the ground, they would have given up the pursuit. Seeing that the soldiers had successfully entered the jungle and that the attackers had stopped their attacks, Miyaki and Nagata got up from the ground and urged their soldiers to gather their troops. The smoke of the grenade bombardment had cleared, leaving only corpses and craters on the plain, and Miyagi's heart was full of anger and shame, anger at the sudden attack and shame at the casualties of the soldiers, making Miyaki desperate to capture the Chinese army.
Just as Miyaki was obsessively cutting off the head of the commander of the Shina Army, there were dense gunshots and explosions in the jungle, and Nagata and Miyaki were shocked, it was the direction in which the sharp soldiers entered the jungle, could it be that they were ambushed. The gunfire became more and more urgent, and Miyaki could hear that it was the sound of the submachine gun used by the Chinese man, and the sound of automatic weapons and bolt-action rifles was different. "Boom" "Boom" After two explosions in a row, the gunfire in the jungle suddenly stopped, everything came too fast, and it went so fast that Miyaki, who was still outside the jungle, almost didn't believe that there had been a shootout in the jungle just now.
Someone came out, running in front of a few Japanese soldiers with rifles, followed by a dozen black-clothed Burmese with their companions on their backs, these people who rushed out of the jungle were extremely frightened, and they didn't dare to turn back at all, but used all their strength to run desperately. Gong Mu was stunned in his heart, but the whole 90 people were sent out just now, and there were only these few people left, could it be that the Chinese army still set up an ambush in the jungle?
"Grenade, grenade" When Miyaki was still stunned, two long shouts suddenly came from behind them, and Miyaki at this time didn't care about thinking carefully, but reflexively turned around to find the direction from which the long drink came. I saw that the grass blades on the ground only more than 30 meters away from them were flying wildly, the turf was uncovered like waves, and a trench suddenly appeared on the green grass, and dozens of heads wearing steel helmets were poking out of the trenches. "It's the Shina Army" Miyaki's mind was blank, and only the black shadow that flew towards him was left in his eyes.
"Grenade, hidden, hidden" also found that several Japanese veterans who appeared behind them screamed and fell to the ground, but the soldiers who reacted like them only accounted for a minority, and most of them did not react at all like Miyaki, and still stood in place stunned. This time, Nagata didn't go to save Miyaki again, and when his life was also in danger, Nagata chose to save his life, so after he heard the shout, he immediately lay on the ground.
Zhao Zhi's first trench was too deep, and the grenadiers were standing on the backs of the replenishment soldiers and throwing grenades, so the accuracy was a little worse, but the victory was enough in number. The continuous explosion of 50 grenades was also extremely spectacular, and the part of the Japanese troops closest to the trenches was directly engulfed in the smoke and shrapnel that exploded, there was no screaming, no screaming, only continuous explosions and flying blood mist, and shrapnel mixed with the smoke and made a sharp whistling sound. Zhao Zhi's grenade came too suddenly, and many Japanese soldiers didn't react at all, and the grenade exploded among them.
One grenade after another was thrown into the Japanese battle line by the grenadiers, and the grenades that burst continuously did not give the Japanese soldiers a chance to breathe, and many Japanese soldiers were thrown high by the air wave and shrapnel of the explosion, and before they could land, they would be thrown again by the next exploded grenade, until their bodies were torn apart by shrapnel. Three batches of 150 grenades were thrown in a row, and the place where Miyaki and the others had just assembled was completely shrouded in smoke, and they couldn't see the situation clearly at all, Zhao Zhi didn't wait for the machine guns on both flanks of the Japanese army to turn their guns, and ordered the grenadiers to withdraw to the second trench.
The explosion finally stopped, and the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground still did not dare to get up, and even looked up cautiously, for fear that a few more grenades would come out and fall at their feet. There was a large area of charred black and a few shallow craters in the place where Miyaki was standing just now, in fact, it was not only this place, most of the places where the Japanese army was assembled were like this, and the traces left by the explosion were like this. Nagata lay on the ground and looked around, but he didn't find any trace of Miyagi, but he found a blown up watch in a pool of blood, and Nagata recognized it, it was Miyagi's gold watch.
Nagata, who was lying on the ground, did not get up immediately, but pondered carefully, if Miyaki was really killed, then he was not the supreme commander of this army at present. Nagata, who had always wanted to be a commander, was stunned by this sudden joy, he could hardly believe that luck came so quickly, although it was only a temporary command of this army, but he believed that as long as he could firmly entangle this branch of the army and hold on until the Sai squadron succeeded in encircling it, his acting commander would definitely become a real commander.
"The first squad storms the trench, machine gun cover, and the other squad guards the jungle direction" Nagata pulled out his command halberd and pointed to the trench where the grenade was thrown just now. Looking at the current situation, this group of Chinese troops should be divided into two parts and want to flank themselves in front and rear, so they will plan their own plans, first occupy their trenches and cut them in half, and then stick to the trenches and wait for the arrival of Sakai's squadron. By that time, it was not known who was flanking the attack, so Nagata ordered the first squad to charge the trenches according to his own judgment.
Just as the first squad began to run, another bullet with a death breath was fired from the jungle, and they were still aimed at the Japanese machine guns and grenadiers distributed on both flanks. And this time the attackers in the jungle suddenly increased in number, and at least dozens of rifles were firing at Nagata them, with occasional grenades of grenades in between. Nagata was 200 meters away from the edge of the jungle, and at this distance, soldiers were shot one after another, and the machine gun and grenadier positions he had arranged on both flanks were in disarray, and it was impossible to organize effective fire cover for the charging first squad.
"Da Da The first squad sent by Nagata could only survive if they rushed forward desperately and rushed into that trench, otherwise they could only be torn apart by machine gun bullets.
"Poof", "poof", "poof" and "poof" were less than 100 meters away, and the Japanese soldiers in the charge had no way to dodge at all, so they could only let the bullets hit their bodies and splash blood mist. The lucky guy is just bruised, and the slightly worse one is the broken hand, foot, intestine and belly, and the power of the machine gun bullet is indeed too great, not comparable to the rifle bullet. Zhao Zhi's second trench was equipped with a total of 6 machine guns, and the instant outbreak of 6 machine guns was something that a small group of Japanese soldiers could not contend with, and when all the machine guns were replaced with the third magazine, the corpses of Japanese soldiers were already lying outside the first trench, and no one could rush into that trench smoothly.
"The grenadiers went back halfway, each threw two grenades and then withdrew, and the sound of my machine gun was the order" Zhao Zhi personally took a machine gun and ordered the reinforcements and grenadiers to send 30 people each back to the first trench. If his guess is correct, the next charge of the Japanese army will be a collective start, and Zhao Zhi does not want the Japanese army to rush so smoothly. He didn't want to turn the Japanese army into trapped beasts, trapped beasts were terrible, they would fight to the death, Zhao Zhi didn't want his brothers to suffer too many casualties, so he just wanted to kill and wound as many Japanese soldiers as possible, and reduce their living force before he really gave up the first line of trenches, after all, the Japanese army was numerous.
Zhao Zhichai was right, Nagata was ready to launch a charge, except for the machine guns and grenadiers used as support fire, the other soldiers received his order, or all the storms of the trench, only by taking the trench, everyone had a chance to live. The dying man's burst of combat power was terrifying, and hundreds of red-eyed guys rushed to the trench in front of them with a scream like a fierce beast, and they didn't even look at the grenades thrown again in the trench, just blindly charged. The grenades that exploded in the charging path from time to time seemed to hurt them at all, and they rushed straight into the trench with rising smoke, flying shrapnel, and the mutilated corpses of their comrades.
"Aren't these *** crazy?" The dog lying next to him couldn't accept it, and looked at the charging Japanese soldiers in amazement. It seems that it is inherent in the ** army to charge with grenades and bullets, why is it that the little devil's troops are also using this trick now, and the dog is dizzy. "What are you doing? Fire, fire" Zhao Zhi's sudden shout woke up the machine gunners in a sluggish state, machine guns and rifles opened fire one after another, and the grenadiers who could no longer support them in the first trench hurriedly withdrew back along the traffic trench, but in less than 2 minutes, there were only a dozen of the 30 grenadiers left.
"Fire, fire, don't save bullets for Lao Tzu, shoot them all" With the screams of Uncle Guo, the snipers lurking in the jungle no longer dodged, and occupied the favorable terrain and kept pulling the trigger. At a distance of about 200 meters, which is a distance that any sniper can easily reach, with the snipers' full fire and the bombardment of the old artillery grenadiers, the Japanese casualties in the charge began to increase. With only a short charge distance of 30 meters, plus the first squad that had just been completely annihilated, Nagata lost at least 100 soldiers, and if you count the casualties caused by the top soldiers and Zhao Zhi's first round of grenades, Nagata now has less than 200 soldiers, but he still has some Burmese.
"Oops, fooled" was Nagata's first reaction after jumping into the trench, and the 2-meter-deep trench was definitely a very challenging height for Japanese soldiers of average height. The trench 2 meters deep and 1 meter wide but not more than 100 meters long was filled with Nagata's soldiers, and at this time they seemed to be packed into a large coffin, the coffin given to them by Zhao Zhi. "Quick, charge forward along the traffic trench, quick" Nagata also realized that something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to charge along the two traffic trenches towards the second trench, but he didn't realize at all that those two traffic trenches were not the way to life he imagined, but the way to death left by Zhao Zhi.
"Start" With the wave of Zhao Zhi's arm, the grenadiers who had been prepared for a long time threw out the grenades they were holding, the landing point of the grenade was the crowded Japanese army in the first trench, and the straight trench had no ability to defend against shrapnel at all, with the continuous explosion of the grenade, the blood and flesh in the trench were splashed, and the shrapnel flew horizontally, making the Japanese soldiers think that they had come to the legendary Shura field. Many of them climbed the trenches on the corpses of their companions, thinking that they would avoid the grenade bombardment, but they were very wrong, for more than a hundred Garand rifles were waiting for them.
The shooting performance of the reinforcements was very poor, but it was a 100-meter target, and now these Japanese troops were only 30 meters away from them, and they were still firing a salvo of more than 100 rifles. Just the first bullet bridge shot by each person caused a sharp increase in the casualties of the Japanese soldiers who climbed out of the trenches, and the corpses were quickly piled up on the side of the trenches. However, as the number of Japanese troops crawling out of the trenches increased, they used the corpses of their companions as cover and reinforcements began to shoot at each other, and the reinforcements began to suffer casualties.
"Pyro starts" two soldiers with flamethrowers on their backs pulled the trigger of the spray gun on the two traffic trenches, and the two hot fire streams turned the traffic trenches into hell, and the Japanese soldiers who were about to rush into the second trench smoothly along the traffic trenches were engulfed in flames in an instant, and the Japanese soldiers who were all covered in flames cried and screamed in the sea of fire, but they couldn't move forward. The Pyro retreated, their task had been completed, and the rest was the matter of Long Hair, in the first trench, Zhao Zhi also left a big gift to the Japanese army, a super gift. ~
