Sure enough, on this night close to mid-May, the Japanese army, which had been attacking Yuwang Mountain for nearly 20 days and could not defeat it, finally could not bear such a long period of fruitless attack, and launched the largest night attack tonight.

Keitaro Nakasa Hirano, who was the first to command the attack on Yuwang Mountain, asked Major General Sakamoto of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army for his order to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions and attack Yuwang Mountain at night.

Sakamoto was also in a hurry to pull the line, and actively cooperated with Keitaro Hirano, giving the most elite troops and sophisticated short-range weapons, as well as long-range firepower and strong reserves.

In order to give Keitaro Hirano's trust, Sakamoto gave him a command knife and asked him to stick it on the summit of Mt. Wooo.

This knife is extraordinary, it was the command knife of General Shirakawa Yoshinori of the Japanese Army, and it was passed to Seishiro Sakagaki of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army.

Sakagaki gave this knife to Sakamoto, and asked him to hold this command knife, which symbolizes the spirit of Japanese bushido and the glory of the Imperial Japanese Army, to climb the head of Xuzhou and hunt the Central Plains.

Sakamoto had bad luck, and was beaten by Zhang Zizhong's Northwest Army near the Linyi River a few days ago, and stagnation, which indirectly created a great victory in Taierzhuang.

Now, although he has broken through the defense line that has been evacuated from Linyi and gone all the way south, he has been withstanding in Yuwang Mountain for nearly half a month.

Therefore, Sakamoto himself could not go into battle himself, so he handed over this important task to Keitaro Hirano, the captain of the night raid, and at the same time handed over this meaningful command knife to him.

Keitaro Hirano held the command knife of the Japanese general, knew the meaning of it, and felt an unprecedented honor and opportunity, and immediately patted his chest and promised Sakamoto that he must insert this knife into the peak of Yuwang Mountain.

On this night, the Japanese army sent five or six night attack detachments to enter Yuwang Mountain separately, the best one was led by Keitaro Hirano himself, and the others were green leaves, cooperating with the 184th Division headquarters to the top of the mountain.

This detachment was also equipped with an extremely rare German-style 18 submachine gun in the Japanese army, which was not produced in Germany in the first place, only tens of thousands, and most of them went to China.

In China before the Anti-Japanese War, the major warlords were in a scuffle, and they preferred this submachine gun to the barge gun, vying to buy or smuggle it, and if it didn't work, they would imitate it.

Although this submachine gun uses a 763 caliber round bullet of the pistol, the firing range is not far, and the effective killing is about 100 meters, but because it is a burst weapon, it has an advantage in close combat.

It has a larger ammunition capacity than the shell gun, with a minimum of 20 rounds of magazines, and more than 40 rounds of magazines, and the magazine change is very fast, and the killing distance is also greater than that of the shell gun, as a melee fire support, it is much stronger than the shell gun.

At that time, when the forward troops of the warlords were charging into close combat, a stream of submachine gunners pressed the opponent like a rain of bullets, which was very effective, as long as the opponent encountered this style of play, it was basically a touch of collapse.

In the middle session, the German-style 18 submachine gun was called a flower mechanism, because its barrel heat dissipation adopts a hole design, and there are many orifices on the barrel, so the Chinese call it a flower mechanism, and distinguish it from machine guns.

In fact, according to Japan's military industrial strength, there is no problem at all in manufacturing submachine guns, but Japan's steel resources are really scarce, and it is reluctant to consume a large number of bullets for repeating weapons.

In addition, the soldiers of the Japanese Army practiced the policy of elite soldiers, and the combat quality of each soldier was very high, even if they used a single shot of 38 guns, they could also hit accurately and accurately.

The submachine gun has a small barrel and continuous fire, and the recoil generated one after another reduces the hit rate of the shot a lot, and because of the use of pistol bullets, the amount of medicine is not enough to support long-distance flight, and it can only kill at close range.

Therefore, the Japanese army would rather use the 38 rifle with 100 rounds than the submachine gun with 100 shots, and at close range, they can use grenades and excellent stabbing techniques to make up for the lack of melee repeating weapons.

It was not until later, after being severely beaten with a flower machine, that the Japanese army began to design and manufacture submachine guns, designed 100 submachine guns, and equipped the Japanese special forces after mass production, which was also a matter after 1940.

So the question is, it is now the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China in 1938, and the Japanese army does not have its own submachine guns, but how can there be a flower mechanism.

In fact, the answer is very simple, the Japanese army occupied large areas of Chinese territory in Northeast China and North China, such as the very famous Shenyang Arsenal in Fengtian in Northeast China and Taiyuan Arsenal in Shanxi.

These two arsenals, together with the Hanyang Arsenal and the Jinling Nanjing Arsenal, were known as the four major arsenals in China at that time.

Anyway, there are ready-made ones, and there is no need to use them in vain, so the Japanese army distributed these weapons to various units for use, and some of the flower machines were equipped with the Japanese troops.

At first, the Japanese soldiers did not like to use this kind of submachine gun that seemed to be a "loser", but later after tasting the sweetness in close combat, they liked it.

Therefore, this night attack, as one of the best short-fight weapons of this era, the flower mechanism was naturally equipped with Keitaro Hirano.

Of course, as a night attack, almost all night raid troops are unwilling to rush forward at the beginning, and the deeper they can touch, the better, and the better the effect.

At the beginning, he babbled and woke up all the defending troops, and then what was the night attack, it could only be a tough battle, and it lost the suddenness and concealment of the night attack.

Hirano Keitaro and they are the same, temporarily letting go of forward troops like Lao Duan and their Eighth Company, Lao Duan They are also underestimating the enemy, the light and dark sentinel is too far away, and they are easily seen through by the devil and dodged.

Besides, both sides were very tired after fighting for days, and many of the sentries of the garrison were drowsy, and before they could wait for the shift change, they lost their vigilance, and let the devils mix up a lot.

What's even more dangerous is that the devils not only sent night attack troops, but also sent a large number of response troops to lurk in front of the defenders' forward positions.

Just wait for the night attack troops to start on the mountain, and then attack from the periphery together, if the night attack troops can end the high command of the defenders, it will be the best.

It doesn't matter if you can't get rid of it, you can fight together inside and outside, create strong psychological pressure on the defenders, and at the same time let the defenders suffer from the enemy.

Rather than letting the night raid troops fight alone, watching the night raid troops finish their losses and die in the encirclement of the defenders, it is a normal tactical need to set up a reserve to meet the troops.

This time, the devil was a bloody one, four or five night attack teams, almost 200 people, all of whom were elites in the Japanese army, and there were hundreds of troops who came to meet them.

This is also the best configuration of the mobile troops that the Japanese army can handle at one time, because on the Yuwang Mountain mountain, where the frontal position is not wide enough, it cannot rush up by relying on the tactics of crowds.
