"Onboard! Onboard! ”

Under the order of Saito Kijiro, the Japanese army assembled a wing of military police, launched a charge, and launched an attack on the Yanji defenders with the first and second brigades, the left flank and the right flank, respectively, while the third brigade was responsible for the frontal feint, and the entire wing attacked in an inverted triangle shape, a wedge-shaped charge, which is the source of the pig burst tactics.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

The barrel of the 76mm gun rose quickly, folding up a touch of icy coldness.

"Load the shells!"

In the sharp whistle, the artillery battalion commanded by Chen Huaitian was loaded with 18 Russian 76mm guns at the same time, and after the 10-pound shells were stuffed into the barrel, Chen Huaitian and another artillery team leader looked at each other and smiled.

"Three-shot proofreading! The first beach on the front river" showed the results of the artillery battalion training, and as soon as the words fell, a row of shells was fired.

Clusters of artillery flames bloomed on the surface of the river, and the picture of the neat and uniform artillery platoon had not disappeared from the retina, and the sound of explosions had already sounded in various parts of the Tumen River, and the entire river surface was suddenly tumbled by the bombed river water, driving the mutilated corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and the explosion was a mess on one side, and flesh and blood were flying.

"After the three-round calibration, the artillery dropped shells at a rate of six rounds per minute at the Japanese troops at a distance of 1,000 meters, and the landing points of the shells were also very accurate.

In an instant, the "drought thunder" over the Tumen River was rolling! Every shell will set off a huge wave of water, and in just a few minutes, the Tumen River will be covered by dense gunsmoke, and the mutilated corpses will be constantly slapped by the rolling river waves, constantly lifting the Japanese soldiers away, and the roar of the explosion drowns out the shouts of the Tumen River soldiers.

This was the first actual combat of the artillery battalion after training. It has already shown good strength, and at this moment the fire of the artillery battalion completely suppressed the Japanese artillery

In the face of the Japanese army's bushido, nothing is an obstacle. Saito Kijiro gave an order, and the Japanese army braved the artillery fire. The Japanese army bent over, stepped on the turbulent river, and quickly moved towards the defenders' positions, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was once again demonstrated, and the short Japanese army was still able to maintain a fast movement speed on the rough river, and the Japanese army's short stature could be strafed in a small area, so the pig assault tactic was also a tactic set up by Nogi Noshinori for the Japanese, short height and accurate shooting.

Left flank positions. The 1st Wing of the Japanese Army was only 500 meters away from the Yanbian defenders, and under the order of the brigade commander, the Japanese troops began to disperse on both sides in a regular manner, and quickly charged forward, getting closer and closer to the first shoal garrisoned by the first battalion where Zhang Xiaozhun was stationed.

The two sides had already begun to shoot, and the Mauser 98 and the Golden Hook Rifle had clashed on the battlefield for the first time, but at a distance of 500 meters, both sides had a hard time shooting each other, and after a burst of gunfire like fried soybeans. The Japanese troops dispersed again, and at this time the 1st Brigade on the left flank was only 400 meters from the position of the 1st Battalion of the Patriotic Army.

The rapid movement speed of the Japanese made Zhang Xiaozhun feel a huge pressure, and the first time he went to the battlefield, he encountered this powerful Japanese army.

At this time, the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was responsible for the frontal feint, also fired to the maximum. The only two Hatch Chase machine guns were fired at full power, giving maximum fire support and cover to the 3rd Battalion, which charged on the left flank.

The sound of machine guns rang out in front of the Yanji defenders' positions, and the Japanese machine gunners demonstrated their skillful shooting skills. The position arranged by Zhang Xiaozhun was overturned, and the gravel flew around. From time to time, soldiers were hit by shrapnel and let out a painful roar.

In the face of such a charge from the Japanese army. The artillery battalion also provided maximum firepower, even reaching a speed of seven shells per minute, and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops on the left flank of the Tumen River, and the Japanese left flank troops were suddenly plunged into a stormy sea, and the huge explosion muffled the roars of the Japanese troops.

Three hundred meters, the first brigade of the Japanese army on the left flank, in the face of this roaring artillery continued to charge forward, under the guidance of the captain, the Japanese army began to look for cover, lying on the cold water and crawling forward.

The Japanese artillery that was suppressed finally fired again, the two sides kept shelling, the real war had just begun, because the Japanese artillery on the opposite side knew that 200 meters was about to enter the effective range of the Japanese army, so it was necessary to give the maximum fire support to the charging troops, which is also the characteristic of the pig burst tactics, there must be artillery support, once the artillery was suppressed, then the pig attack tactics of the entire Japanese army failed, so the Japanese army would only fire all eight guns, trying to suppress the artillery fire of the Chinese defenders on the opposite side.

The best way to defeat the pig tactics is to suppress the enemy with artillery, so this time He Tianci did not bring a few thousand more soldiers, but brought his precious artillery battalion over, and said that the experiment is the only way to test the truth, then he can only take the little devil to take a look at the weakness of this pig attack tactic.

"Speed up and load me with shells! Suppress the little devil's artillery fire for me" As soon as the words fell, another row of shells shot out.

In the face of powerful artillery fire, the Japanese army could not move an inch, and the soldiers had begun to fear, and there was no end to the previous inevitable victory.

No one expected that the Chinese army on the opposite side was so tough, a regimental formation of troops, even equipped with a battalion of artillery, that is, in the Russo-Japanese War, in the face of the heavy weapons of the powerful Tsarist Russia, the Japanese army did not encounter this situation, I thought that bringing eight 75mm guns was enough to suppress the firepower of the Chinese defenders on the opposite side, in the absence of artillery fire support, the pig attack tactics were difficult, and the charge in the front of the fight a large group suffered heavy casualties, Saito Jijiro was furious.

"Baga, the first brigade must break through the right flank position of the people of China and knock out the damned artillery positions of the people of China! The other two teams rushed me, and their artillery would not be effective fifty meters ahead, and the time for the samurai of the empire to be loyal to the emperor had come. ”

"Onboard! Onboard! Under Saito's call, the Japanese army once again rejuvenated, once again stepped on the icy river, depressed the center of gravity, and moved swiftly towards the position of the defenders of Yanji, especially the first brigade at this time, the captain took the lead in rushing to the front, holding the Jingou rifle and shooting at the Chinese soldiers in the opposite trench, from time to time soldiers were shot, let out a painful wail, at this time the Japanese army hit a large group from the position of Zhang Xiaozhun 1st battalion only 200 meters, has entered the effective range of the Japanese army, under the leadership of the captain, As if seeing hope, the Japanese army desperately charged forward.

"It's all hiding in the trenches, isn't there a shooting hole, who told you to stand up, you want to be a live target for the little devil!" A veteran of the Russo-Japanese War shouted to the recruits behind him.

"Reload ......!" The Heavy is a veteran who has participated in the just-concluded Russo-Japanese War, fought little devils and old hairy people, and these veterans have no fear of foreigners at all.

After the Japanese army entered the effective firing range, the only Maxine machine gun in the first battalion began to rotate, and began to spit out long tongues of fire at the Japanese army at a theoretical rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, driven by huge firepower, the black canvas bullet belt continued to provide bullets, and the 11.43 mm bullets continued to pass through the body of the Japanese soldiers, and the charging Japanese soldiers suddenly became a living sieve.

"The third battalion rushed over with me, if the little devil is going to die, help the brothers of the first battalion!" Under the leadership of Shu Houde, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion was stationed at full speed towards the support of the 1st Battalion stationed at the first shoal to the west, and the 1st Battalion, with a force of 500 men, against a Japanese military police brigade of 1,000 men, still suffered heavy casualties despite hiding in the trenches relying on fortifications.

The 6.8mm Mauser bullet issued by the modified Mauser 98 rifle in Mukden and the 6.5mm bullet of the Japanese Golden Hook rifle clashed on the battlefield for the first time, in the face of thick trenches, the Japanese army without heavy weapons support, there was no way to break through, most of the bullets hit the trenches, splashed a touch of dust, but the sandbags on it did not move at all, which is the disadvantage of the Japanese 6.5mm bullets, the warhead is too small, no power, in the face of such a solid fortification, it seems a little stretched.

At this time, the Tumen River was filled with the sound of Mauser 98 and Golden Hook rifles firing, more of the sound of Maxine machine guns "da-da-da", with the full charge of the Japanese army, the entire Tumen River battlefield was in a white heat, the ten Maxine machine guns brought by the Patriotic Army this time all fired, and the Maxine machine guns were so densely placed on the ground by the river, it was simply bad news for the Japanese.

At the same time, the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was charging head-on, was no longer able to provide firepower to the 1st Brigade on the left flank, because it was easy to injure their own soldiers by mistake at such a distance, which was also a characteristic of the pig-stud tactic, once the soldiers on both flanks had charged to 150 meters, the frontal feint troops had to stop machine gun fire.

"Da Da Da"

The machine gunners of the Patriotic Army skillfully showed their training results, a tongue of fire hit the charging Japanese soldiers, the speed of 600 bullets per minute was too fast, but the 10 boxes of bullets brought in 10 minutes had been used up half, the Japanese soldiers continued to fall, constantly let out painful roars, the entire Tumen River was filled with the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, the rolling river carried the criminal corpses of the Japanese soldiers to the east, the Tumen River was stained with blood and scarlet, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers floated up from time to time.

Compared with the fierceness of the left flank, the second and fourth battalions in the center obviously seemed much more relaxed, only occasionally remembering sporadic gunfire, after all, the direction of the main attack was in the position of the first battalion on the west side, with the arrival of the support of the third battalion, the supported left flank position became more and more courageous, relying on the trench constructed by Zhang Xiaozhun, the soldiers kept pulling the bolt, the improved Mauser 98 rifle, there was no strong recoil, and the power of the 6.8mm pointed bullet was absolutely above the Japanese army.

He Tianci looked at the red river and fell into deep thought, it was only an hour, hundreds of soldiers had already died under the robbery of the Japanese army, he knew that with the character of the Japanese who would repay their flaws, they would definitely launch a large-scale retaliatory action, and this war was just the beginning.
