Chapter 1134: Battle of the River Valley (3)
There's no way not to be pale, that's all scared.
Although the face of the major general of this infantry major has already turned pale several times, the face of the frightened balls is swollen, and his face is still bloodless. Ka Bai Ka white, from Asian to European, if you give him another golden curly hair.
The Chinese even have mountain artillery?
Compared with the explosive packets that the Chinese did not know how to throw before, although the power was so powerful that the river valley was in shambles, the mountain artillery that could accurately shell was what made Ikeda Ryo feel the most frightened.
Because, any point of fire will be turned into a pile of parts under the precise blow of the mountain artillery, whether it is a person or a firearm.
Unless, there is an artillery counterattack.
However, the baggage squadron outside the valley carried only two guns, and it was on the other side of the mountain. What's more, will the Chinese let them go? Ryo Ikeda was not sure at all.
As a veteran soldier who has spent six years in the position of squadron leader and five years in the position of captain of the squadron, Ryo Ikeda's instincts are not wrong at all.
Knowing that there was still a mile away from the main force of the Japanese army, an infantry squadron and a baggage squadron of 500 people, how could Liu Lang, as the commander-in-chief of the front line, turn a blind eye, especially since this baggage squadron also carried more than 20 carts, full of all kinds of supplies for 3,000 people, which was destined to be fat.
Against them, however, there were more than 400 people in the bayonet battalion designated by Liu Lang as the Sharp Knife Battalion, and their combat mission was to annihilate this enemy force in the shortest possible time and at the lowest cost.
You can't let the Japanese army come back to the taste, but the Japanese army is so ruthless that they even cut open their own stomachs to see what their own intestines are like. It's not uncommon to blow up your rifle and machine gun before you feel like you're going to stop.
So as soon as the battle in the river valley ahead began, Liu Dazhu gave the order to attack with trembling cheeks.
I can't do it without trembling! Although the ten whips on the back of the wave seat left his hands and looked at the blurred flesh and blood, most of them were epidermal injuries and did not hurt the muscles and bones, but it hurt! If his own soldiers make mistakes, he should be the one who is the commander, and Liu Dazhu has no complaints about the regimental commander's actions, but after all, there is still an evil fire, and the subordinates were also beaten to the ground, and he couldn't beat his anger anymore, and the recruits should know that they were wrong all the time, so the fire could only be vented at these devils.
This is not a river valley, it is a mountain road. There is a deep ditch on one side, a high mountain on the other, and the mountain road is narrow, which is a good place to fight a dull stick, but it is not suitable for large-scale ambush warfare, because the formation of the Japanese army is too long, and if the Japanese army takes a time to counterattack up the mountain, the casualties will be greatly increased. Or escape into the mountains, not to mention the failure of the battle plan that cannot be completely annihilated, it is also extremely dangerous for the mountain people in this mountain.
But for a small-scale operation of more than 500 people and more than 20 large convoys with a length of no more than one kilometer, it is still very suitable.
Perhaps Liu Dazhu's evil fire in his heart was too much, in addition to using more than 20 mortars equipped in the bayonet battalion to take the lead in covering the Japanese infantry on the mountain road with sectional artillery fire every two guns on the 40-meter section of the road, he also spared no expense to use the rocket launchers of the infantry squad, all of which fired steel ball bullets and incendiary bombs specially used to kill and injure infantry.
Of course, mortars and incendiary bombs cannot be used for the 20 or so carts transporting baggage, and even steel ball bullets are useless to prevent ammunition from detonation. It can be said that the Japanese troops on this section of the mountain road were happy, and they were the only part that did not suffer from the artillery fire of the bayonet battalion.
But the rest of the Japanese army was unlucky.
Especially the two infantry squads at the head, 60 percent of the attacks of the bayonet battalion were directed at them.
Not only the shells exploded, but also the terrible incendiary flames that could not be extinguished, but also light and heavy machine gun fire, and semi-automatic rifles fired with all their might.
Suddenly encountering such a blow, not to mention the elite of the Japanese army, it is estimated that it will not be much better if it is replaced by the independent regiment itself.
If you want to avoid these, in addition to climbing up the mountain, another option is to jump into a deep ditch, a ditch of more than ten or twenty meters, and it is estimated that it will not fall well with your buttocks.
However, there were quite a few Japanese soldiers who chose to jump into the deep ditch, although many Japanese soldiers did not want to jump by themselves, they were shaken down by shells or squeezed by panicked companions.
Those who don't have the guts to jump down can only climb up the mountain frantically, even if the machine gun fire on the mountain is far beyond their imagination.
Rows of Japanese soldiers were swept down by the DP squad with light machine guns and "Hitler chainsaws" like cutting rice, but the Japanese soldiers still followed one after another, howling and charging up the mountain with guns in their mouths without stopping, as if they did not know what the fear of death was.
Because they know that staying on a narrow mountain road, whether you hide under the rocks or not, whether you can avoid the mortars and bullets of the Chinese, but the final outcome must be killed on the mountain road. Moreover, he was killed without resistance.
From the very beginning, Lieutenant Ishida Inoue, who was in charge of leading the squadron headquarters behind the 2nd Infantry Squad, understood this when he saw the raging fire of Second Lieutenant Imamura, who was twenty meters in front of him.
The poor second lieutenant was not hit head-on by the terrible bomb that came from the woods, the bomb that was not very fast and slammed into the ground of the mountain road with a trajectory that was visible to the naked eye, and the force of the explosion was not too great, and the soldiers, including Ensign Imamura, who were already lying on the ground, were not swept over by the air wave.
However, the bomb exploded and spilled flames that covered a radius of 30 meters, and at least a dozen people were ignited by this terrible incendiary bomb. However, the most terrible thing is not worth it, the terrible thing is that the fire is like a maggot on the tarsal bones, no matter how you roll on the ground, it will stubbornly and stubbornly burn, and even, the more it burns, the more it burns.
Poor Second Lieutenant Imamura was right in front of Lieutenant Inoue, watching him howl and roll in a cloud of flames and black smoke, and finally remained motionless and burned alive in front of him.
And even if he died, the fire would not be extinguished, and even on the gravel floor where he had rolled, there were still flames burning, and the ground was horribly scorched.
It was the flesh and skin that had been burned alive.
It was a terrible weapon from hell developed by the Chinese, and Lieutenant Inoue, who was covered in ice, issued a military order for the whole army to attack the mountain at all costs. He didn't want to be forced to jump into a deep ditch and fall into a puddle of flesh, he didn't want to wait on the mountain road to be blown to pieces by Chinese mortars, and he didn't want to be lit into a human-shaped candle by that terrible incendiary bomb.
Although the front army hundreds of meters away could not know the situation because the mountain blocked him, judging from the loud noise coming from there, they must have also encountered a terrible attack. I guess I can't count on it.
Now the only one who can save them is himself.
If they were confronted by the Red Army or other Chinese troops, the Japanese army of several hundred people would have been able to break out of their bloody path with such a desperate assault.
But, unfortunately, they were met by the bayonet battalion of the separate regiment. One is armed with 12 terrible machine guns with a rate of fire of more than 1,200 rounds per minute, and the other is fully equipped with a 10-round semi-automatic rifle with a magazine and 70 rounds of drum Suomi submachine guns.
All desperate charges, in the face of crazy bullets, are in vain, if the density of the bullets exceeds a certain value.
Whether it was on the African continent in 1893, 50 Rhodesian infantry and 4 Maxim machine guns easily repelled the attack of up to 5,000 Zulus, leaving 3,000 corpses on the battlefield that made the Zulus extremely sad, or in 1898, in the Battle of Omdurman in the Sultan, 20,000 of the 20,000 Axish monks attacked, and as many as 15,000 fell in front of the position of the newly revealing Makqin machine guns.
Even, in the future Normandy landings, a recruit of the Third Reich, with only one person, one machine gun and one rifle, created the myth of killing the most enemies in all wars. More than 2000 American GIs, fell in the face of terrible machine-gun fire.
What's more, on the 900-meter-long attack line, the firepower of the bayonet battalion, which was condescendingly hidden in the mountains and forests, far exceeded the combat firepower value of these battles, which had left deep traces in history.
It was far more than the Japanese infantry squadrons and baggage soldiers who did not have artillery and planes at this moment, and the 1.7-meter-long 38 canopy with bayonets in their hands was as ridiculous as a burning stick in the face of terrible automatic fire.
It's even better to burn a fire stick.
At the very least, the burning sticks won't stop them from running.
When fighting the bayonet, the 38 cover with the bayonet inserted in more than 1.7 meters is like a spear, but in the mountains and forests, it is really, too affecting the operation. I just wanted to jump behind the tree to avoid the terrible bullets of the Chinese, but the gun was too long and was hung by the branches.
On the battlefield, life and death can be decided in an instant. What's more, the somewhat rigid little devil who has been trained in his mind would rather die than get his spear back, and the two seconds of desperate dragging were enough for him to be hit by the light and heavy machine gun bullets that swept over.
For a full ten minutes, the decisive charge of the Japanese army lasted a full ten minutes.
Each heavy machine gun MG42 had its barrel changed at least four times, and the spare three were not enough, and the members of the machine gun team had to splash water from individual water bladders on the barrel to cool the dark red barrel. Of the 3,000 rounds of ammunition carried by the three ammunition men, more than 2,500 rounds were fired.
With nearly 30,000 rounds of ammunition fired from the heavy machine guns alone, and the infantrymen's squad machine guns and submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles, it is estimated that in just 10 minutes, the bayonet battalion fired more than three-fifths of the bullets carried by the individual soldiers of the battalion.
In fact, according to post-war statistics, the bayonet battalion poured more than 100,000 rounds of various bullets at the Japanese troops who were charging to the death in just 10 minutes, an average of more than 10,000 rounds per minute, and an average of more than 20 rounds per minute on the heads of each officer and soldier.
Of course, of course, more than 20 light and heavy machine guns contributed the most, followed by dozens of submachine guns with an astonishing rate of fire, but the infantry of only 200 people, each of whom fired more than 80 rounds is also extremely amazing.
As a result of 100,000 rounds of ammunition and more than 1,500 grenades, more than 300 mortar shells, and more than 50 rockets, more than 350 Japanese soldiers fell on the hillside of the charge.
Lieutenant Inoue's decisive charge of the shipwreck fell fifty meters away from the Japanese troops closest to the position of the bayonet battalion.
The bayonet battalion, on the other hand, was ambushed on a hillside only 180 meters from the mountain road.
The Japanese army, at the cost of 350 men, only advanced 130 meters.
The entire infantry squadron was almost completely wiped out. The baggage squadron is the only one squad left to guard the baggage wagons.
That's basically all their troops. If the desperate Lieutenant Ishida Inoue with the remnants of the Japanese army, whose number would never exceed 30 people retreating from the hillside, was still combat-ready, then they still had more than 80 people.
Equivalent to two infantry squads.
This time, without a light machine gun and a grenadier, he was holding the 38 big cover, plus the southern 14 pistol in the hand of Lieutenant Ishida Inoue, a very pure light infantry.
It was pure despair on the face of the Japanese lieutenant who was hiding behind the cart.
At this moment, the expression of his immediate boss who was still expecting him to move closer to the main force was the same.
But obviously, he was a little more miserable, and met an extremely "ferocious" opponent, who beat him to the point where he had no gun or cannon in just ten minutes.
Of course, no one else made it for them.
