Chapter 277: The First Battle of the Thirteenth Division (3)
Several machine gunners were named in a row, which made Hideo Nagakawa vigilant.
"Everyone, be careful, the people of China have sharpshooters! Mortar gunners speed up the firing! ”
He shouted as he climbed down and carefully observed the situation with his binoculars, but the scene was too chaotic, and he also found that the soldiers on the other side were not only well-trained but also very well-armed. Their rifles were fired very quickly, and they quickly retracted into bunkers after a few rounds, making it difficult for the Japanese to aim, the only conspicuous thing being the dazzling blue sky and white sun flag at the entrance of the village.
"What kind of unit is this?"
Hideo Nagakawa put down his binoculars and looked at Squadron Leader Kota Takao who had just crawled over from the side in surprise.
Just now, he had been staring at the position of the Huaxia people on the opposite side for less than four minutes, and on the road of the Japanese attack, at least a dozen Japanese soldiers who were planning to rush forward using the cover of the terrain had fallen, and these soldiers died in different ways, although most of them were shot in the body, but some of them were shot in the head. Looking at the brain-filled scene, Hideo Nagakawa was very shocked.
"Yaga, is this the Jingguan army in China?" Hideo Nagakawa's voice was filled with resentment, but at the same time, there was a fear that could not be concealed.
"Your Excellency, the weapons of the Zhi Na people are very fast, and the attack strength of the imperial soldiers is too small, so if you continue like this, you can only use the Zhi Na people as a target!" Kota Takao on the side.
"Yo Xi, you're right." Hideo Nagagawa nodded, "From the battle just now, we can see that although the weapons of the Shina people are excellent. But they were not many in number, no more than one squadron at most, and they had many places to defend. It is impossible to put all our forces at the entrance of the village, so what we have to do now is to increase the intensity of the attack. Takao-kun, I'll order a squadron to launch at the entrance of the village later. And you ......"
Speaking of this, his expression became serious, and he said word by word: "You take all your squadrons on the horse and charge against the Zhina!" ”
Nani ...... Charge on horseback? Kota Takao was a little stunned, knowing that it was not as good as before. Cavalry has the advantage of being fast and mobile, but it has always been a key defensive target for the enemy, and if a large-scale charge is launched, the target will be too large.
"Yes!" Hideo Nagagawa nodded and said, "I'll let the infantry squadron charge first." Attract the attention of the Shina people, and then your squadron will charge from both flanks of the village, taking advantage of the fast cavalry speed to rush into the village, as long as you can rush into this battle, we will be determined! ”
"Yo Si. Your Excellency, Captain, is clever! Kota Takao nodded repeatedly. This plan seems reasonable, as long as the infantry can attract the opponent's main firepower, his cavalry can easily rush into the village, as long as they enter the village and approach the enemy, then the speed of the cavalry and the power of the saber can be fully exerted, and the opponent will not be able to run away even if he wants to!
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As a round of mortar shells exploded at the entrance of the village, a squadron of Japanese troops launched an attack towards the entrance of the village, and hundreds of soldiers either crawled or bent down in an S-shape. Hundreds of people spread out, but at great speed. In a few moments, hundreds of soldiers rushed forward.
"Yo West...... That's it! Even if the noble cavalry dismounted, it was not comparable to those turtle infantry! Hideo Nagakawa, who was watching the battle from behind, nodded again and again, and in just a few minutes, the Japanese soldiers advanced hundreds of meters, which was comparable to those elite infantry.
However, as the infantry advanced, the fire in front also began to become fierce, and what surprised Nagagawa Hideo the most was that the rate of fire of the opponent's rifle was unusually high, and the series of "popping" gunshots hit the Japanese soldiers in front one after another, and the Japanese soldiers in the back had to lie down to find cover and then shoot at them.
Seeing this situation, Kota Takao, who was watching the game from the sidelines, knew that it was his turn to play. He drew his sword and shouted, pointing to the front and shouting: "The first squad is outflanked to the left, and the second and third squads are outflanked from the right flank, and Tusi will give it!" ”
In the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, hundreds of cavalry rushed up to both sides of Xikou Village, and for a while, the horseshoe dragons rumbled with dust and smoke, and the whole land seemed to tremble under the hooves of the war horses.
Seeing the scene of the cavalry charge, the soldiers behind who dismounted and feinted were also cheering, in their opinion, as long as the distance of a few hundred meters could not stop the impact of the cavalry, the road could be crossed in less than two minutes, and then it was their harvest season.
Even Hideo Nagakawa in the back nodded again and again with a telescope: "Yo Xi...... Very good, that's right, this time I will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the Shina people! ”
Just as Hideo Nagagawa was overjoyed, a figure suddenly appeared in the frame of the telescope, and then a machine gun also appeared in front of him, and in a hurry, Hideo Nagagawa had time to roughly count, at least ten machine guns, and more were soldiers with submachine guns.
"No ......"
Hideo Nagagawa just froze for a moment, and then shouted in some despair, "Come back...... Come back...... Stop the charge...... Stop the charge! ”
But it was too late, and with an order from the other side, there was a loud gunfire on the other side, and a stream of metal heat sprayed out almost simultaneously. Ten machine guns and dozens of submachine guns fired together was shocking, and the MG-34, with its characteristic high rate of fire, quickly pulled the chain of 250 rounds of metal bullets. A golden rain of bullets filled the entire battlefield, and only the distinctive roar pierced the layers of bullet rain and sent the breath of death.
This machine gun was not the "click" sound he was accustomed to hearing like a Czech or Browning machine gun, but a "snort" sound like tearing an oilcloth, and with the sound of this machine gun, the front suddenly became a Shura area.
As the machine guns rang out, the cavalrymen who had been charging forward with majesty fell like wheat, and when they saw this, Hideo Nagagawa was stunned.
The MG-34 machine gun may not be as accurate as the rifle fire, but the maximum rate of fire of 1,000 rounds per minute was enough to seal off all the space of the Japanese army, whether it was the cavalry that had just started the charge or the infantry who were crawling forward with various movements.
In less than five minutes, there were no standing walking creatures within 200 meters from the starting point of the Japanese attack to the entrance of the village. All that remained were piles of flesh and blood with severed limbs and severed arms, exposed human organs of all kinds that were constantly wriggling, and the shredded flesh of warhorses torn to shreds.
Hideo Nagagawa stared blankly ahead, he had forgotten what he was going to say. A squadron of cavalry fell in front of him, and the charge lasted only a few minutes from the beginning to the end, and in such a short period of time, more than two hundred cavalry were gone, and there were many soldiers who had dismounted and were charging forward.
"Ahh A scream of pain filled with pain, a Japanese soldier covered in blood with a broken arm crawled up from a pile of minced meat, stood on the spot and screamed loudly. With his screams, the rain of bullets that were still spitting tongues of fire just now slowly stopped, and the gunfire on the Japanese side also stopped, and everyone on both sides looked in this direction, listening to the soldier's heart-rending roar in pain.
The soldier howled and staggered toward his position, and though his movements were strange, he kept running behind him with his strange pace. The Japanese soldiers who survived by luck were watching him, the Japanese soldiers who were in charge of covering behind him were also watching him, and even Hideo Nagagawa was watching him.
"Phew!" A crisp gunshot broke his scream, which seemed to be inhuman, and the surroundings immediately fell silent. The soldier finally stopped his roar, and a 7.92mm bullet ended his pain, the bullet hit his head, and the splatters of brain pulp and blood caused his head to burst like a watermelon, and the body that had lost half of its head took a few more steps along the inertia before slamming down.
In a fortification a few hundred meters away from the corpse, Wu Zhuang re-hid in the bunker with the Kar98k sniper rifle, and there was still a faint wisp of green smoke on the muzzle of his gun, and not far away, the white-looking fat man holding a Suomi submachine gun gave him a thumbs up.
"The 2nd Cavalry Squadron is finished...... Is this the combat effectiveness of the 202nd Division? ”
Hundreds of meters away, Hideo Nagakawa's originally fanatical heart quickly cooled down as if it had touched a basin of ice water, followed by fear and panic.
"Why are these people so fierce, and what kind of machine guns are those machine guns, and why is the rate of fire so fast?" Looking at the battlefield that fell silent again, Hideo Nagakawa's face was full of horror. A brigade has four squadrons, and the second squadron that mounted and charged in the battle just now has all been shattered, and the third squadron that dismounted to act as an infantry attack has also suffered hundreds of casualties, which means that his cavalry brigade has now lost nearly half of its combat effectiveness, which is simply a bolt from the blue for him.
"No, I can't fight like this anymore, otherwise my brigade will all stay here today." Hideo Nagagawa took a deep breath and looked at the position of the Huaxia army that had fallen into silence again, and a trace of hideousness flashed across his face.
Turning his head and waving behind him, he called the signal soldier with the radio on his back to him and ordered: "You immediately contact His Excellency the Wing Commander, tell him about the situation here, ask him to send reinforcements immediately, and the most important thing is to transfer the artillery!" ”
"Hay!"
After the communication soldier left, Hideo Nagagawa's face showed a hideous look, "This time I want to trap you alive and bombard you with artillery, see what you do!" (To be continued.) )
