Chapter 700: Hengling Pass (4)
"Whoosh ......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
A series of violent explosions rang out in the marching ranks, and the procession, which had only moved slowly forward, exploded like a frightened flock of sheep. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Japanese soldiers either lay on the spot or rushed to the nearest place to find cover as fast as they could, although the Japanese moved quickly, the fast and sharp whistling still kept whistling overhead, and the shells continued to explode in the crowd, killing one soldier after another.
Koizumi was lying in a ditch on the side of the road, watching the shells explode around him, and his heart was full of puzzlement and fear. Yes, it's fear, although he is already a veteran of battle, but he still feels his panic and fear in the face of the sudden and deadly rain of bullets.
"Mortars, it's mortars, the people of China are attacking us with mortars!" A sharp voice sounded next to him, and Koizumi Masakazu could hear that it was the voice of his squad leader, Takeuchi.
"Quickly send someone to find the location of those Zhina, and then kill them." Another voice sounded, if it was in normal times, Koizumi Masakazu would definitely arrive to wonder why even the squadron leader was here, shouldn't he be in the middle of the team at this time.
Soon, he felt a heavy tap on his shoulder, and then the squadron leader's voice rang out: "Koizumi Masakazu, you immediately take a group of soldiers to search and advance in the northwest direction, at least find the mortar positions of the Shina people, and then kill them?" ”
"Bastard!"
Koizumi Masakazu couldn't help but feel an urge to curse, the enemy's mortar position should be at least a kilometer away from them, and the squadron leader asked himself to run more than a thousand meters with more than a dozen people, and then take out the mortar position protected by infantry under the nose of the enemy, isn't it a joke? Or did he think that the enemy was all a bunch of fools, and would watch their group swagger past them.
"What is taught in the current non-commissioned officer school, this guy won't enter through the back door, right?"
Not only Koizumi Masakazu, but even the team leader behind him couldn't help but have the urge to hide his face.
A burning fire of resentment rose in Koizumi Masakazu's chest, and he wanted to punch the squadron leader's dusty face a few times, but he held back, because if he dared to do so, he would be to be formed into a team with explosives on his back, and then either be killed by the Huaxia people or enter the Yasukuni Shrine with a deafening explosion.
"Koizumi Juncao, what are you still doing in a daze, didn't you hear my orders?" The squadron leader's voice rang out again, this time with a hint of stern stern that had never been seen before.
At this time, it is estimated that even the squad leader Takeuchi Li couldn't stand it, so he said loudly: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the artillery position of the Shina people should be at least more than a thousand meters away from us, and it is unrealistic to let the Koizumi army take people to destroy the artillery position of the Shina people. ”
The squadron leader squinted his eyes and asked, "Takeuchi-kun, what are you going to say?" ”
Takeuchi said seriously: "Your Excellency, now we should immediately order our soldiers to take advantage of all favorable terrain or hurry up to build fortifications and prepare for defense, because the infantry of Shina is likely to charge us at any time!" ”
"Yaga!" The squadron leader's angry voice rang out: "Takeuchi is good, do you also think that my words are all nonsense?" Or do you think I can't command you anymore? ”
"Of course not!" Takeuchi glanced at Koizumi helplessly, with a helpless look in his eyes, indicating that he could only help here.
The squadron leader's name is Imura Naga, and when he saw that Takeuchi was silent, he looked at Koizumi Masakazu again, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Koizumi Juncao, do you want to disobey orders on the battlefield?" ”
The hat of battlefield disobedience is too big, even the most merciful commander will not tolerate this kind of behavior, looking at the fierce eyes of Imura Naka's hand is already nestled in the hilt of the knife, Koizumi Masakazu knows that as long as he dares to say a word, the next moment the command knife will definitely be mercilessly slashed on his body.
"Hay!"
Seeing that Masakazu Koizumi bowed his head and said this sentence in a popular voice, a smile appeared on Imura Naka's face.
Just as the 215th Wing was struggling with the falling shells in all directions, a sudden thunderclap sounded in the sky, followed by a torrent of raindrops falling from the sky, instantly drenching everyone's hearts.
"It's raining...... It's raining? ”
Koizumi Masakazu, who originally looked like a dead father, almost jumped up, and he turned his head to look and saw Takeuchi's excited face.
"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, it's raining, we're saved!"
Takeuchi grabbed Imura Naga's arm almost without thinking and shouted, "Your Excellency, quickly order the troops to disperse, and then move quickly forward, we will launch an all-out attack on the Shina people!" ”
Imura Naga glared at Takeuchi Lee: "Nani, are you crazy?" Let's send our entire squadron to the China attack, and don't forget that now their shells are ...... Hey...... The sound of the artillery actually stopped. ”
Takeuchi Takeri, a rookie who had just graduated from the non-commissioned officer school, was almost speechless, but fortunately, not all officers in the wing were as idiots as he was. In the heavy rain, a Japanese soldier ran over and conveyed the order of Captain Watanabe, who ordered the entire squadron to charge forward and rush to the front to mingle with the Huaxia people.
Just as the Japanese army took advantage of the sudden heavy rain to charge forward, a major general in a gray military uniform was also scolding God less than a kilometer away from the Japanese army.
"Thief God, you're playing with me. Lao Tzu just shelled the devil, you fucking gave Lao Tzu rain, which side the hell are you on? ”
The major general who scolded God in front of the sky was Chu Ziying, the commander of the Second Garrison Division, that's right, the colonel and head of the 276th Regiment of the Shandong Column, whom Su Jin had known since his debut in Shandong, was dug into his command by our Su Da Commander last year. Although Su Jin had a heart-to-heart fight with Chu Ziying when he first got rid of Erlong Mountain, it was all in the past, and in this case, one of the two sides was a bandit and the other was a national army officer, so it was normal to be careful. Two years ago, when Su Jin formed the National People's Police Reserve Division, there was an extreme shortage of officers, and under the introduction of Zhou Yusheng, he pulled this Chu Ziying under his command.
When Chu Ziying came to the Third Army, Su Jin knew that Chu Ziying was Zhou Yusheng's old subordinate, and after having this relationship, Su Jin observed him for a period of time before appointing him as the commander of the Second Garrison Division.
Today, after Chu Ziying received the order to intercept the 215th Wing that was going to Hengling Pass for reinforcements, he immediately led two regiments to march quickly to a place called Mapo on the road from Sangchi to Hengling Pass and set up an ambush.
According to Chu Ziying's original idea, he first used more than 40 60 mm, 82 mm and M2 107 mm mortars they carried to carry out saturation artillery bombardment on the Japanese army, first used artillery to kill and wound the Japanese army as much as possible, and then let the infantry charge, and defeated or even completely annihilated the 215th Wing in the fastest time. But this idea was interrupted by the sudden heavy rain on the battlefield.
Although mankind has developed from the age of cold weapons to the age of hot weapons, the impact of weather on war is still very huge. This can be seen from the history of countless wars, and the victory and defeat of many wars are inseparable from the weather.
First of all, if the rain is too heavy, it will affect the performance of the artillery, and the rain will also seep into the barrel of the cannon, causing the shells to get damp and mute the fire, so Koizumi and Takeuchi will be so ecstatic when they see the sudden heavy rain.
Seeing that the heavy rain had affected the artillery shooting, just as Chu Ziying was about to give the order to charge the whole army, a staff officer came to report: "Division, the Japanese devils have launched an attack on us!" ”
Chu Ziying was stunned for a moment, then laughed instead of being angry: "Hehe, these little devils really treat us as a dish and want to serve us in a pot." Order the 6th Garrison Regiment to immediately launch a counter-charge against the Japanese army, I want to see if the little devil's 38 big cover is powerful or our submachine gun is powerful! ”
The pouring rain is still falling, the road surface that has just rained has become extraordinarily slippery, and the hundreds of Japanese soldiers who are charging forward are running desperately with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the soldiers with rifles on their backs are better, but those shooters who carry the Type 92 heavy machine gun have suffered a great crime, as the main combat weapon of the Japanese Army, the Type 92 heavy machine gun has always been known for its excellent maintenance and excellent lethality, but it also has one biggest weakness, that is, it is too heavy.
A Type 92 heavy machine gun weighs 55.3 kilograms, and a machine gun is a machine gun detachment, and ten people are needed to serve it. There are 4 people in the machine gun detachment who are responsible for carrying machine guns, and 4 ammunition men are carrying 4 A ammunition boxes, 22 kg and 540 rounds of ammunition, a total of 2,160 rounds of ammunition, and 2 carrying 2 20 kg B prop boxes and reserve barrels.
This was still the usual state of marching, but in this state of pouring rain, it was killing the machine gunners, and after walking less than 200 meters, the four machine gunners who were responsible for carrying the guns fell several times and almost broke the machine guns.
"Hurry up and drop...... Rush over and kill those China! Imura Naga brandished his command knife in the team and roared wildly, at this time he was already fantasizing about how to rush to the position of the Huaxia people and cut off the heads of those Huaxia people who could only sneak attack.
"Sneer...... Sneer......"
A burst of machine guns rang out like tearing oilcloths, and the rain of bullets was as dense as the raindrops falling from the sky at this time, and a Japanese soldier who was rushing forward in the muddy water, one foot deep and one foot shallow, fell to the ground one after another.
"Counter Strike...... Hurry up and fight back and kill all the people of China! ”
Seeing the two soldiers running forward next to him suddenly fall to the ground as if they had been punched and never get up again, Imura Naga, who was brandishing a command knife, suddenly realized that he must have been targeted by the opponent's sharpshooter or machine gunner. Frightened, he quickly put the command knife back on his waist, and he himself picked up a Type 38 rifle on the ground and rushed forward.
Suddenly, Imura Naga suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a slight noise in the woods opposite, and then saw several shadows flashing in the rainforest.
"Hallucinations?"
Seeing the black shadow, Imura Naga was stunned at first, but he still instinctively raised the Type 38 rifle, and as soon as he touched his shoulder, Imura heard a sound when he was about to open the insurance.
"Chirp...... Tweet ......"
It seemed that his chest had been hit several times in succession, and Imura Nagar, who had been standing in the middle of the line and charging together, suddenly collapsed limply in the muddy water.
"Enemy ...... Enemy ......"
Before losing his instincts, Imura Naga tried to pull the trigger, but the gun didn't go off despite all his strength, and it turned out that he forgot to open the safety even though he was loaded.
"Snort...... Sneer, sneer, sneer......"
MG42's terrifying sound like tearing an oilcloth sounded again, and the dense rain of bullets continued to swallow the voices of the Japanese soldiers, and the terrifying rate of fire of up to 1,200 rounds per minute made anyone in front of it have nightmares.
Then gray figures emerged from the woods and hillsides in front of them, and began to launch a counter-charge towards the Japanese army, and soon the two sides rushed to a distance of less than 300 meters from each other.
Even the most daring soldiers could not help but be startled when the Japanese soldiers saw these ghosts, covered in green leaves and weeds from behind the woods and hillsides, and no one expected that the Huaxia people were so close to them. The weapons in the hands of these Chinese soldiers kept spitting a continuous rain of bullets, and Koizumi Masakazumi, who hurriedly ran to command the battle, saw a Japanese soldier with a rifle who was just about to return fire when he was about to load, and fell into the muddy muddy water, and when he fell, his neck was spewing blood mist neck, and most of the arteries in his neck had been torn apart by bullets, and the blood vessels were constantly spitting out crimson blood, and the water sank and was instantly dyed red.
Koizumi Masakazu, who was lying in the muddy water, looked at the enemies who were getting closer and closer in horror, he picked up his rifle from the side and aimed at one of them and pulled the trigger, although all the sight was not very good because of the rain, but Koizumi Masakazu knew that he must have hit the man, but the enemy just paused and did not stop.
"Oh, Amaterasu, can't the people of Shina be killed?" Koizumi exclaimed.
"Sir, the people of China are rushing up!" The exclamations of the soldiers rang in my ears.
Koizumi shouted without thinking: "What's the panic, get on the bayonet, let's let the people of China know what the imperial bushido spirit is!" ”
But as soon as Koizumi finished speaking, a string of bullets hit his arm, and the arm was torn off his body in an instant, and at this time the whole road had become a slaughterhouse, and the rain of bullets was still raging the land, and before he fell unconscious, Koizumi Masakazu saw stumps and broken arms everywhere, as well as the heart-rending screams and frightened screams of the wounded soldiers......
