Chapter 1101: Hitting a Snake and Hitting Seven Inches
Yes, even if the more than 2,000 elites of the 79th Infantry Wing were lost, even until this time, the Chinese mortars still fell like raindrops on the mountain road, blowing up the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire were running to the wolves and losing their pride, even if the Chinese who occupied the high point were so loud that the Imperial Army hiding in the bunkers on the side of the mountain road could not lift their heads.
However, there was still a hint of joy on Yoshio's pale face last month.
Don't look at the arrogance of the Chinese now, just give him 20 minutes, no, maybe just 10 minutes, the firepower of the legendary "Tubalu" with a lack of ammunition will be weakened, and the well-trained imperial warriors of the infantry brigade can gain a foothold in various valleys and launch a counteroffensive according to the few commanding heights occupied.
By the time the bombers of the 38th Air Wing arrived, it would be the end of the "Eighth Road" of the "Dirt Road". The bare mountain beams may provide them with cover from the bullets below, but the bombs that fall from the sky will definitely send them to hell.
As for whether his own plane bomb will be accidentally damaged, Yoshio last month did not worry about this, as long as the heads of those pilots were not full of, they would definitely reduce the altitude enough to strafe or drop bombs with machine guns. As for anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, can there be "Tubalu"?
What does it mean to forget the pain of a scar? Here it is. Seeing that several of his squads had seized a few long mountain roads that were enough to cover the Japanese army, Yoshio Kamitsuki, who began to scream, obviously forgot that the nearly 40 mortars that were firing were not to mention the "Tubalu", which was a regular German armor division of the Central Army, was beyond the reach of the dust.
What he encountered was the two infantry battalions of the strongest infantry regiment in China in this era that Liu Lang spent five years building, and there was also a red army infantry battalion that really came out of the rain of bullets.
In a year's time, 25,000 miles of marching, and hundreds of battles, such an army is the only one in the world.
In the first battle of Pingxingguan, if it weren't for the lack of ammunition and the lack of experience against the Japanese army, it would have been difficult for those two baggage squadrons, not to mention the battle damage of 1 to 1, even 1 to 2.
After firing all the bullets in the gun, he had to charge against the Japanese machine guns and rifles, which was really a pain in the heart of every red commander.
China, there is no shortage of people who dare to sacrifice, but a lack of artillery and bullets. Even bayonets stuck in the muzzle of the gun are in short supply.
However, the death of the nation does not mean that Qiqian Village will definitely die.
The wishful thinking that Yoshio had hoped for the "Dirt Eight Road" to weaken last month was gradually disappearing after ten minutes.
The Chinese's ammunition seemed to be endless, and for ten minutes, in addition to the sound of mortar shells exploding, his eardrums were filled with gunshots, countless gunshots.
It never really stopped.
Not to mention that the death battalion and the bayonet battalion carried more than 200 rounds of ammunition per single soldier, even the 3rd battalion of the 771st regiment, before the war, was supplied with 200 rounds of ammunition per single soldier. For the first time, the shriveled bullet belt was plumped, and the heavy hanging on the body made every red warrior feel happy.
Holding the yellow-orange-orange bullet, the happiness at that moment was even comparable to winning a battle. For the Red Soldiers, who carried no more than 20 rounds of ammunition per person at most, as long as they had enough ammunition, it meant victory. Even if the opponent is a little devil who spreads a god.
Just like the Japanese troops of the 40th Infantry Brigade who dealt with the "Eighth Road" for the first time, the elite red soldiers who had gone through countless hardships but came over did not take the Japanese army too seriously. He thought that as long as he had enough courage and enough ammunition, he could completely defeat the white bandits as he did in the past.
Quite a number of soldiers even hid at least two-thirds of their ammunition in the garrison, preparing to save it for the next battle, and if it were not for the repeated orders of the future generals to bring all the ammunition allocated, and those who violated the military order would be locked up for two days, at least half of the ammunition would have been left at the garrison.
However, in just ten minutes, the red soldiers, who were full of ammunition, saw the tenacity of the Japanese army. Even if the terrain is unfavorable, they not only have good hiding skills, but also extremely accurate marksmanship, even if you are on the top of the mountain, as long as you are not careful, it is very likely to be bitten by a Japanese rifle bullet from the bottom of the mountain.
Moreover, the grenadiers of the Japanese army were really powerful. Where they couldn't hit the bullets, they compensated for them with grenades, and the grenades fired by the deep grenadiers who hid were as accurate as if they had eyes. Within ten minutes, two light machine gun firing points were destroyed by the Japanese grenadiers, so the number of soldiers killed or wounded was unknown.
The Japanese are strong, this is the unified opinion of all the red soldiers during the ten minutes of engagement. No one dared to despise these Japanese troops who were terrainically disadvantaged.
However, not to be despised does not mean to be afraid, and the red warriors may be afraid of defeat, but they are never afraid of sacrifice. Especially when there was plenty of ammunition, they showed all their skills, which also made the Japanese army feel the pressure.
In addition to sufficient firepower, the Chinese who came from all sides were probably most impressed by the Japanese army because of their stubborn willpower and extremely high tactical literacy.
After paying a large number of casualties, the Japanese army could only continue to hide in bunkers in various fields and continue to be suppressed by grenades and bullets, waiting for air support to come before counterattacking.
In fact, the Japanese troops on the commanding heights seized by infantry squads were not having a good time.
Their grenadiers pose a great threat to the Chinese army from the high ground, but what about the 60 and 82 mortars, which are far more powerful than miniature "mortars"?
Of course, it was also the Japanese who were bombed to the point of being stubbornly screaming.
In addition to continuing to attack the recalcitrant Japanese in the ravine, at least fifteen mortars fired at the four commanding heights occupied by the Japanese. Every second, at least 2 shells fall on the hill or ridge occupied by the devils.
Even if you don't kill a person, you can be scared to hide on your stomach, especially those fire points that dare to shoot, and they are chased by mortars. Under such an offensive, the Japanese troops on the top of the hill may still be able to bite the bullet and not retreat, but if you want to expect them to attack the Chinese troops on the adjacent hill, you really think too highly of them.
Being able to hold the top of the hill and ensure the activity space of hundreds of colleagues in the ravine is their greatest wish at present. The one who can take care of the commanding heights of the mountain happens to be the brigade headquarters where Yoshio last month, who was quite lucky, otherwise, the Japanese army major general who was still wearing white gloves would have been sniped by the cold gunners on the mountain beam at this time.
The Japanese troops at the front were more or less fine, although they were condescendingly waited by the Chinese with bullets and grenades, and the casualties were increasing every minute. But the artillery brigade at the back of the queue was a little worse on the side.
As last month Liangfu thought that one brigade could fight against the heavy weapons of the Chinese army, the artillery brigade was protected by a complete infantry brigade, which could not be said to be unimportant. However, Liu Lang and the future generals also understood that they must not give a chance to twelve 75-caliber mountain guns that can shoot out 6-kilogram projectiles.
And against them were Liu Dazhu's bayonet battalion and the 771st battalion of the 3rd regiment.
Zhou Shiyu's death battalion was attacking the Japanese brigade headquarters and hundreds of Japanese infantry only a few hundred meters away from the valley mouth, and Zhang Tianyou, deputy battalion commander, recklessly stuck the fire platoon directly under the battalion headquarters and two infantry squads directly under the battalion headquarters to block the two hills where the Japanese brigade headquarters and the infantry brigade and artillery brigade were 500 meters away, preventing the two Japanese troops from rescuing each other.
Zhang Ruhao, deputy of the Independent Regiment, together with Zhou Shiyu, led two infantry companies to attack the thousands of people on Liangfu's side from the left and right.
Of course, with a total number of only more than 400 people, they are only encircling and attacking at most, and if they want to annihilate this group of Japanese invaders, who are at least 1.5 times their number, they will have to wait for the two infantry battalions of the 771st Regiment that are rushing to this side to arrive on the battlefield.
The bayonet battalion and the 3rd battalion of the 771st Regiment, which were more than 800 meters away, attacked an infantry brigade and an artillery brigade lined up in the 40th Infantry Brigade.
Although this infantry brigade was to protect the advance of the artillery brigade, it was actually led by an infantry squadron in front of the artillery brigade, three infantry squadrons, and the baggage squadron of the infantry brigade was tailed.
The 500 men of the 3rd Battalion of the 771st Regiment attacked an infantry squadron of the Japanese army and an artillery brigade driving pack horses.
The bayonet battalion was mainly used against the remaining three infantry squadrons and baggage squadrons. Liu Dazhu was extremely resolute at the beginning of the battle.
At the beginning, a Japanese infantry brigade was scattered with light and heavy machine gun fire beyond the imagination of the Japanese infantry brigade. With infantry platoons and even infantry squads as units, they occupied hilltops and cut through the Japanese infantry brigades, which were more than 1,000 meters away, forming one small blocking position after another.
This naturally has many advantages, and it can cut the Japanese army that occupies the numerical advantage and eat it little by little by using the superior terrain and firepower.
But this also has a lot of drawbacks, once the Japanese invaders are relieved and launch a counterattack with the support of air superiority, they can also eat the bayonet battalion bit by bit, and no one can help them. You can't escape if you want to.
Of course, Liu Dazhu not only never thought of escaping, but he had no intention of letting this group of Japanese troops, who were more than twice as large as his bayonet battalion, escape. At most, only some soup was left for the 800 people of the guard platoon of the Independent Regiment, the guard company of the 386th Brigade, and the Zhuangding Battalion, which were heavily deployed six miles away to block the rear road of the Japanese army and block the reinforcements of the Japanese army.
The reason why the Japanese artillery brigade suffered was that the red soldiers who were responsible for attacking the tenacious and highly tactical infantrymen may still have a little scruples. But for the Japanese artillery, who mainly held the southern fourteen pistols against the enemy, there were not so many scruples.
Poking his head out of the hillside and aiming at the Japanese artillery who had no battlefield experience and panicked and counterattacked with a small pistol, it was polite, and there was still time to aim and throw out the grenade, which was the nightmare of the Japanese artillery mixed in the middle of a group of neighing pack horses.
A well-thrown grenade fell between the man and the pack horse, and the mountain was blood-red, and it was not known whether it was horse blood or human blood.
It was not only a nightmare for the artillery of the artillery brigade to run wildly along the mountain road with the pack horses that had lost control of the mountain artillery parts, and to smash the artillery that could not dodge into the air.
A mountain artillery brigade had 720 horses, and an infantry brigade had about 180 horses. In other words, there were more than 900 horses in the range attacked by the bayonet battalion and the 3rd battalion alone. The Japanese military horses are all trained, and they may not be afraid of the sound of artillery and gunfire, but they are also afraid of death!
Several grenades exploded in succession in the herd, and the Japanese soldiers, who had just risked their lives to unload the parts of five or six mountain guns, could no longer control the horses.
Frightened hundreds of horses galloped along the mountain road, their iron hooves rolling, and more than a dozen pounds of stones could be kicked and shattered by the crazy horses.
This was terrible for all the Japanese troops hiding on both sides of the mountain road.
