Chapter 162: Assault on Artillery Positions (2)
"Gather fire, gather fire" Zhao Zhi shouted out the previous battle words, more than a dozen submachine guns and the dog's machine gun shot out a metal storm, and the dense rain of bullets did not give the Japanese time and space to dodge at all. The Japanese army began to retreat after a melee with the soldiers of the expeditionary force, and at this time the two armies had not completely separated at all, and there was indeed no need to dodge such a distance and such a dense fire.
The Japanese soldiers who were not hit by the bullets had already begun to rout, and Zhao Zhi could let them go so easily, "press up, press up" The uninjured soldiers followed behind Zhao Zhi, relying on the corpses of Japanese soldiers as cover, and forced the Japanese troops to the west side in unison. On the west side of the artillery position is a small open field, and when you cross the open field, you will enter a forest, and anyone who breaks and escapes will choose to flee into the forest, and Zhao Zhi arranged more than a dozen submachine gunners in the forest early.
After shooting at Zhao Zhi with a rifle for a while, the Japanese suddenly found that less than half of them were left, and they had already suffered more than half of the casualties. No, let's withdraw, the Japanese left a dozen wounded, and the rest rushed into the open under the leadership of a second lieutenant. It only takes a few tens of seconds, and after a few tens of seconds, they will be able to enter the forest, and then they will be safe.
Just when the Japanese lieutenant who led the team secretly congratulated himself that he was about to enter the forest, he heard a shout from the forest, and in an instant, more than a dozen gunfire flames burst out of the forest, sending the Japanese second lieutenant and a dozen soldiers who were running in the front into the air. Before their corpses could hit the ground, the gunfire began to move towards the Japanese troops in the rear, and the blood mist from the flying bullets hitting the people rose high and dyed the entire open area red.
It was a massacre, and Zhao Zhi and his submachine gunners were lying on the edge of the open field, shooting desperately inside. In order to avoid misfire with the submachine gunners on the Linzi side, Zhao Zhi and his men formed a 90-degree angle with the Linzi, and formed crossfire on both sides to shoot at the Japanese troops on the open ground.
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, some of the surviving Japanese troops began to fight back frantically, and no matter how good Zhao Zhi's weapons were, they couldn't stand the large number of Japanese soldiers. The other part of the surviving Japanese troops rushed to the undefended forest to the east like crazy, and the Japanese army could also see from the intensity of the shooting just now, there were actually only a dozen submachine guns on the north side of the forest. As long as they can enter the forest to the east, the rest of the people will be safe. But it backfired, and when the Japanese army took more than 20 lives, they just rushed to the edge of the forest.
Two tongues of fire rushed from the forest, this was real fire, it was the flamethrower who had been lying in ambush in the forest. As early as when dividing the troops, Zhao Zhi considered that the east side of the forest would become a breakthrough point for the Japanese army, so he handed over the two flamethrowers he had been carrying with them. The two flamethrowers were also able to hold their breath, and they just lurked quietly in the woods, waiting for the Japanese to charge.
The scorching flames that came out of the forest engulfed the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front, and the high temperature directly detonated the grenades and bullets on their bodies. The fragments that exploded burst out radioactively, bursting with flesh and blood, bursting out until they burrowed into the flesh again, and then lost the kinetic energy to burst out again.
The half-kneeling flamethrowers in the woods were also stunned, for this was the first time they had used this big stupid guy on his back. Originally, they were always laughed at by the soldiers next to them, laughing at the two of them for pretending to be camels, so that they themselves did not want to play with this new weapon.
Looking at the tragic situation on the open ground, the two glanced at each other, and quietly retreated into the forest with the flamethrower on their backs, preparing to change the ambush point again. Other brothers have to fire several shots to hit the little devils, and they only need to pull the trigger and spew out tongues of fire to destroy so many Japanese soldiers at once, so now they are giving them submachine guns, and they will not change them.
"Huh, huh" The dog who had emptied the magazine lay on the machine gun bunker and gasped for breath, and emptied more than a dozen machine gun magazines in a row, and the dog's chest was shocked by the machine gun, and his lungs felt as uncomfortable as if they were about to explode. Before he could catch a few breaths, the dog was kicked over by a kick that suddenly stretched out from behind.
"You're a kid who has a lot of skills? Dare not follow the commander's plan to fight, the old men ran over there in vain, but none of them were caught and beaten" The big cow's smiling face appeared in front of the dog's eyes, and the kick that the dog had just received was rewarded by the big bull. Originally, according to the plan, the dogs only needed to kill the Japanese sentinels, and when the big bulls were in place to snipe the Japanese artillery, the rest of the people began to charge. As a result, the dog was eager to fight, and fired first, completely disrupting Zhao Zhi's plan.
By the time the big bull moved to the set position with the people, the dog had already rushed into the gun position with the people. There were people everywhere in the gun position, and they didn't dare to shoot at all, so they had to carry a sniper rifle and charge with Zhao Zhi. By the time they rushed to the gun position, most of the Japanese troops had been driven to the open field on the west side, and only three or two kittens of the Japanese wounded were left on the gun position. I just saw the dog panting on the machine gun bunker, and the angry bull directly rewarded him.
"Brother Big Niu" came back to his senses and the dog smiled at Da Niu with a shy face, and his little appearance was extremely sincere, "It's not that I have to fight, it's that the fucking little devil is too cunning." They found out, and we forced the fire, or we'd all have to leave it all here."
"Okay, Lao Tzu didn't say anything about you, look at your ability, the little mouth is quite able to say" Da Niu waved his hand indifferently, but he didn't forget to damage the dog in his mouth. "What's going on? Is it badly injured? Da Niu pointed to the blood stains on the dog's back and asked with concern, the dog is the youngest dog leg who follows Zhao Zhi, and he is also taken care of by everyone on weekdays.
"It's okay, I was grazed by a bullet" The dog shook his head indifferently, and suddenly remembered something, and took out half a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of a lying Japanese corpse and threw it to Da Niu. "What's going on? Is the little devil's cigarette easy to smoke? The dog looked up at the bull with his bloodstained face. Da Niu rarely drinks alcohol, and usually likes to smoke a few puffs of cigarettes, and the dog secretly takes Zhao Zhi's cigarettes to Da Niu whenever he has the opportunity. Since Zhao Zhi fell in love with cigars, this benefit of Da Niu has been broken.
Da Niu took a sip, and half of a cigarette was smoked in an instant, "lighter than American cigarettes" Da Niu looked at the half of the cigarette in his hand and said lightly. "Let's go, let's go, let's not clean up the battlefield first, check the corpses, get the ones alive together, the commander needs to be captured" Yan Shijun shouted all the way and came over.
"Why are you two still here? Sir, looking for it? Just in front of the meadow," Yan Shijun stood on the machine gun bunker and pointed to the place where the gun was fired in front. At this time, Zhao Zhi had completely suppressed the Japanese army with superior firepower, and dozens of surviving Japanese soldiers were forced into that open field.
"You save some bullets on your dog's day" Zhao Zhi kicked a submachine gunner on the buttocks, "The Japanese army doesn't have a few rifles, such an open place, you dog's day is still holding the trigger, your bullets are good when you are Lao Tzu" Zhao Zhi picked up a 38 rifle that was thrown on the ground, "Have you seen it, use this to fight, by the way, practice your shit marksmanship"
Indeed, the Japanese troops who were pinned down in the open field were almost unarmed, so why use automatic fire. The soldiers laughed and changed the 38 rifles discarded by the Japanese army, and practiced shooting into the open field. There were only a few weeds in the open field, which could not provide effective cover for the Japanese army at all, especially the Japanese army's earthy yellow military uniform was very eye-catching in the open field.
The few guys in the Japanese army with rifles have been seen dead by the riflemen, and whoever dares to hold a gun will be knocked down by a few flying bullets. The Japanese soldiers on the open ground have become piglets to be slaughtered, and the guys under Zhao Zhi have become butchers with butcher knives.
"Get over to Lao Tzu" Zhao Zhi, who had just retreated from the front line, saw the dog coming over, "You kid has a good ability, Lao Tzu will give you a hand, and when Lao Tzu stops, I'll clean you up" Zhao Zhi scolded the dog with a straight face. At the end, Zhao Zhi, who was discouraged, saw the injury on the dog's back, and slapped the dog on the back angrily, causing the dog to jump to his feet in pain.
"Sir, I collected 5 prisoners, all of whom were seriously injured, I'm afraid I can't ask anything" Yan Shijun hurriedly came to Zhao Zhi, and Zhao Zhi arranged for Yan Shijun to collect the Japanese prisoners before the attack, so that he could inquire about the garrison of Mengguan.
"Tell them to stop fighting, you go and shout to surrender" Now there are only dozens of Japanese soldiers left in the open field, if they are all killed, who will Zhao Zhi ask about the situation. Looking at the posture of this artillery position, it should be an artillery squadron, which is the scale only in the Japanese wing. According to the situation of the Japanese garrison, this artillery unit should have come from Mengguan.
Zhao Zhi is not just for those wooden boxes, judging from the current situation, it is inevitable that the headquarters will order a large-scale counterattack on Burma. And Zhao Zhi's direct company and Ye Tianying of the 112th Regiment are just at the forefront, once the battle starts, these two troops will be the unyielding vanguard, Zhao Zhi does not believe in the battle plan and map made by the staff officers of the headquarters, he has to have his own combat map.
As early as the time of escaping in the jungle, Zhao Zhi was suspicious of the map of Myanmar issued by the headquarters, and many valleys and rivers could not be found on the map at all. It wasn't until Zhao Zhi held Ledo that in the British army's supply warehouse, the uncle who was looking for wine found a map of Burma drawn by the British. Only then did Zhao Zhi react that the map of the headquarters was copied from the British decades ago, and there were many omissions in it.
From Ledo, Zhao Zhi ordered Edward and Zhao Yanzai to be responsible for revising the map, and promised to give priority to providing new maps to the American army, which is why he ordered Yan Shijun to interrogate prisoners after every battle. /AUT
