Chapter 564 Fighting Poison with Fire and Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Three days later, the Japanese army appeared in the field of view of the soldiers in the outlying positions on the outskirts of Changsha. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Without the help of heavy artillery and tanks, the Japanese army is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out at this time, it seems ferocious, but you have no teeth, so what kind of majesty do you still tremble?
Let's look at our Chinese soldiers killing tigers, don't you know that there is a medicine called tiger bones in traditional Chinese medicine?
In contrast, the Japanese army, which had no heavy weapons, was superior in the quality of individual soldiers, marksmanship, and a strong sense of tactical coordination, while the Chinese army was superior in numbers, full of courage and full preparation, so the battle entered a state of stalemate from the beginning.
Most of the time, the Japanese attacked in muddy water, and sometimes they even had to let the people in front of them hold the legs of the machine gun with their hands to act as a gun mount in order to allow the light machine gun to play the role of fire cover, so that the role of the Japanese machine gun was really too limited.
Often under the fire of Chinese soldiers, as soon as the Japanese secondary shooter who was acting as a gun mount in the muddy water in front was knocked down, the position of the machine gun immediately became awkward.
No matter how light the weight of the light machine gun is, it still needs a support point, and it is impossible to float on the muddy water and shoot.
The Japanese army's heavy machine guns also had little effect, and the Type 92 heavy machine guns used by the Japanese army were the heaviest among the heavy machine guns used by various countries nowadays, and the weight of eighty or ninety pounds was very troublesome for marching and attacking in muddy water.
So, when the wind direction was suitable, the usual tricks of the Japanese army appeared again.
After the firing of the "tom tom" mortar shells, green poison gas erupted from the positions of the Chinese defenders.
The poisonous gas released by a poison gas bomb was a faint and miserable green, but the poisonous gas that exploded one after another made the faint miserable green a dark green.
The coughing sound of Chinese soldiers was heard in the poisonous fog, and the poisonous gas fired by the Japanese army this time was tear gas.
The Chinese soldiers already knew that the Japanese army had the habit of using poison gas if they could not attack for a long time, so they took out soaked towels or strips of cloth to cover their mouths and noses.
Normally, if you want to hold your ground in the poison gas, you will not be able to resist without a gas mask.
In the Battle of Taierzhuang, there was a tragedy in which the Japanese army killed all the defending soldiers on the defensive position with poison gas.
But this time it was different, the Grim Reaper that the Japanese army was hoping for did not come as promised.
This is because there was a sudden flash of fire on the positions of the Nationalist troops who had been gassed by the Japanese army, yes, fires, piles of fires!
The blazing flames rose upward, and then the heated air blew away into the sky.
Some of the positions were more fully prepared, but each soldier touched a torch from under his feet, and a dozen or dozens of torches instantly provided enough heat for the poisonous gas on the ground to be vaporized.
What's more, the soldiers of the Nationalist Army temporarily evacuated the place where the explosion of the Japanese poison gas bombs was relatively concentrated, but they threw bundles of cluster grenades in the place where the poison gas was thin.
As a result, in the huge heat of the explosion, the poisonous gas was pushed away by the explosion wave, and finally diluted under the smoke of the firewood pile in the adjacent area, and finally dissipated invisibly.
The Japanese army was dumbfounded, and now there is really no good way to fight with the Chinese army.
But they didn't know that the battalion detachment that had once again been reduced to pieces and lurking in the muddy puddle was already aiming at their mortar position.
As far as the battalion as a whole is concerned, you can let us do whatever we want when we are not fighting, but since we are fighting, we must rush to the front.
Our battalion didn't have the habit of watching friendly troops fighting, but a few men guarding a fire, rather than adding a piece of wood to the ground.
The Laodao River is not far from the urban area of Changsha, so it is not difficult to find the position of the Japanese mortars who have entered the area south of the Laodao River.
Zheng Youjian was determined to play with one or several mortars.
Although the grenadier is a single weapon, it is not satisfactory in terms of range.
Mortars are different, although they are much heavier than grenadiers, but they can be better than grenadiers in range.
At this time, Zheng Youjian, who was lurking like a mud monkey, was opening a bag of oilcloth that was also covered with mud, and he uncovered the oilcloth inside was a telescope.
He carefully rubbed the mud off his hands with the clean side of the tarpaulin, and then raised his binoculars and began to observe the location of the Japanese mortars.
The landscape and even the attacking Japanese troops slid through the lens of the telescope in turn, and finally Zheng Youjian fixed his eyes on the back of a low mountain, knowing that he had found the Japanese mortar position, although he had not seen a mortar so far.
Zheng Youjian waved his hand, so a group of "mud monkeys" from the directly subordinate battalion in the quagmire quietly touched the hill that Zheng Youjian pointed to.
When they were a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, they were spotted by the Japanese soldiers who were standing guard at the top of the mountain.
And so the shootout began.
If the accuracy of marksmanship is evenly matched, then naturally the more wins.
When Huo Xiaoshan, who was climbing at the front, gave the order to shoot, the two Japanese sentries on the top of the hill fell in response.
The Japanese troops on the back slope of the hill heard the gunshots and naturally knew that the Chinese army was attacking again, so they were busy asking the Japanese troops in charge of the guard to send people to seize the hill, and they were busy diverting their mortar positions.
However, since he was targeted by the direct battalion, how could it be so easy to get rid of?
Zheng Youjian, who had already climbed to a solid and dry place on the ground, and his grenadiers fired more than a dozen grenadiers in an instant, and the end of the parabola where the grenadiers came out was the back slope where the Japanese army was located.
Can Zheng Youjian see the exact location of the Japanese mortars?
Of course not, but in the first round of more than a dozen grenades, one of them landed between the Japanese soldiers who were moving.
As a result, several Japanese soldiers were killed.
After the surviving Japanese soldiers lay down, they saw that there were no more grenades, so they hurriedly got up again to carry the barrels of the cannons, and those who took the brackets took the brackets and walked down the slope again.
It's just that Zheng Youjian's grenadier arrived again, and he still used that kind of loser-like shooting method, and the hillside was covered by artillery fire, but there were also unfortunate Japanese soldiers who fell under the explosion of the grenade.
In this way, Huo Xiaoshan led his people to attack the top of the mountain, and Zheng Youjian used a grenadier to hit the Japanese soldiers on the back slope for a while to stand up and then lie down.
When Huo Xiaoshan led his team to attack the top of the mountain, the four mortars of the Japanese army happened to be transported to the foot of the mountain.
After crossing the foot of the hill, it was muddy again, but at this time the commander of the Japanese artillery suddenly realized that there were not enough people to transport mortars.
It's just that because of Zheng Youjian's loser's covering style of play, more than a dozen soldiers under his command fell.
It is still laborious for a person to walk in that puddle of mud, and if he carries the barrel of a mortar of six or seven pounds, then his only option is to sink his feet in the mud.
You must know that in order to transport these four mortars, the Japanese army used a squadron of manpower to achieve its goal.
So the Japanese commander ordered the four mortars to be blown up.
But it was not easy to transport this cannon, and it was not easy to blow it up now.
The rifles of Huo Xiaoshan's squad, which had already attacked the mountain, rang out, and some Japanese soldiers fell.
Even more unfortunate was that a soldier pulled out the pin of the melon grenade and knocked the small copper cap and knocked it off, but when the grenade was still in his hand, it was hit by a rifle bullet in the waist.
So, the grenade fell to the ground, and in the mud under his feet still spewed white smoke tirelessly, and then, "boom", the Japanese soldier was wiped out even with his two accomplices.
Ten minutes later, Zheng Youjian, who was like a, grinned widely, showed a mouthful of extraordinarily white teeth, sat in the mud at the foot of the mountain, holding the barrel of a mortar, and was silly happy, which became another eternal classic memory in the story of fighting devils in the direct battalion!
