Chapter 214: Attack by the Marines

In the face of the sudden enemy, Liu Ximing led his troops to resolutely resist, while using radio walkie-talkies to report to the brigade headquarters, while organizing troops to carry out a resolute counterattack against the Japanese army, fortunately, the powerful light weapons equipped by the independent brigade saved them, and the firepower network composed of nine MG34 machine guns and three M2 Browning heavy machine guns stopped the Japanese army in time, plus the wing also had three 60 mortars, otherwise Liu Ximing really did not dare to guarantee that he could resist this group of Japanese troops who were used like a tide.

"Quick...... Turn the muzzle and blow up those firing points! ”

When Liu Ximing led the infantry to resist the marines desperately, the Japanese commander Nagai Yusaku Daisa showed an excited look with his eyes shining, because he could already faintly see the artillery positions of the Chinese army in the distance from the telescope, and Nagai Yusaku had seen very clearly that this batch of artillery was actually artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm, which could already be called heavy artillery for the Japanese army. During this period, both the weak Chinese army and the resource-poor Japanese army attached great importance to artillery, and if the heavy artillery could be destroyed or even captured, then the credit was undoubtedly very huge. But what annoyed him was that the resistance of these Chinese troops was too stubborn, and the firepower was also extremely fierce, and the bullets from machine guns, mortars and even submachine guns were like rain, which caused heavy casualties among the marines.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A series of shells fell into the formation of the Marine Corps' attack, and the huge impact and smoke almost drowned out the entire attack formation, and Yusaku Nagai was a little stunned, the opponent turned the muzzle of the heavy artillery and opened fire on them.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A few more shells fell, and dozens of soldiers who had no time to dodge were quickly swallowed into the deadly cloud of smoke, and by the time the smoke cleared, the surrounding area was empty except for three huge craters.

The Marines were so frightened by the bombardment they had never been subjected to before, they huddled with their heads in the places they thought they could dodge, they shivered, coughed, cried and screamed with all their might. As if this would make them roar out of fear, the whole earth trembled violently, and the falling dust and fragments of limbs made the soldiers scream in terror, and at this moment they could no longer find the courage to drink sake and sing the song of cherry blossoms, and great fear had taken over their whole body and mind.

Suddenly the heavy shelling stopped. In an instant, the world seemed to return to its former tranquility, and the courage to stab the timid Chinese soldiers in the stomach with their bayonets was gone, and the terrified roars of the Marines and the heart-rending screams of the wounded soldiers were everywhere.

"Coward! Coward! Idiot! Are you still brave Marines of the Great Japanese Empire? Look at you, even women are braver than you! The people of China have only fired a few shells, and you are afraid, now grab your rifles, load your bayonets, and rush forward to pierce them in the stomach! Let the people of China see the bravery of the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire. ”

Yusaku Nagai kicked and hit the shivering soldiers hiding in every corner. Pulling them up by the collar. Introduce craters that can dodge their bodies, make them raise their guns and aim ahead, and drink them to shoot as they go.

At this time, Nagai Yusaku's mood was undoubtedly very angry, originally thought it was just a very simple matter, but a position defended by only one company's troops, but he had enough troops in his hands, as long as a charge could crush these people, and then calmly harvest the lives of these cowards. He wanted to prove to everyone that the Marines of the Imperial Japanese Army were in no way inferior in combat effectiveness to the horse manure of those armies. It's even stronger.

For a long time, the situation of Japan's Marine Corps was very awkward, and the Marine Corps, as the name suggests, is a branch of the military that is responsible for sea-crossing landing operations and other specific amphibious combat missions, and some countries are called naval infantry.

But Japan's main opponent is Huaxia. And Huaxia's naval strength is too weak, and it can only be used as an existential-level fleet. There is no rival at sea, and the army regards the land as its own territory, and the navy is not allowed to interfere at all. Therefore, since the Marines came to China, they have been looked at strangely by the Army everywhere, which also made all the Marines hold their breath up and down.

Due to the serious disagreement between the two major arms of the Japanese navy and land, it is not a day or two that the two arms have been at odds. And how serious is this awkwardness? For example, if the Japanese Army's fighter planes or equipment screws are tightened to the left, the Navy will definitely go the opposite way and twist it to the right, and Japan does not have a common use of sea and land at all, and they each have their own equipment research institutes, and the weapons used are the same, in addition to the standard Type 38 rifle accident, the Navy with deep pockets also equips the Marine Corps with a century-old submachine gun that has just been developed and has not yet been mass-produced, and the automatic weapon is also a new Type 96 machine gun.

In terms of weapons and equipment, these marines are indeed stronger than the army, but in terms of the quality of individual soldiers, these marines are inferior to the army, and the reason just mentioned is that because of the contradiction between the two branches of the military, there are no army officers who are willing to pass on their combat experience to these marines, which also leads to the fact that the courage of these marines is commendable, but the actual combat experience is not very good.

"Quick...... Hurry up and fire the artillery, what's going on with those guns in the back, why don't you fire them? On the defensive position of the artillery battalion, Liu Ximing was anxiously scolding an artilleryman.

"Sir, it's not that we don't open fire, it's that those Japanese are too close to us and have exceeded our closest range!" An artillery captain spread his hands and explained helplessly.

"These bastards!" Liu Ximing scolded loudly, looking at the Japanese troops swarming in the distance, he didn't know if he could withstand so many enemies with only a hundred or so names.

"Fire...... Fire ......"

The few remaining machine guns on the position were frantically pouring out fiery snakes.

"Boom ......" a grenadier exploded next to a machine gun, and the machine gunner who was firing was blowing aside, along with his assistant shooter, and even the gun was blown aside, and the Japanese army was getting closer and closer, and had reached the effective firing range of the grenadier.
