Chapter 91: Depressed Honda

"Nani!"

The leader of the devil squadron closest to Li Han couldn't believe the scene in front of him, could it be that the Chinese army was so rich that more than 200 people actually had a light machine gun each. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not that the devil squadron leader didn't know that there was such a thing as a submachine gun, in fact, with the industrial level of Japan at that time, it was not difficult to develop a submachine gun.

However, under the influence of the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese military department has always believed that "a rifle with 100 rounds is better than a submachine gun with 100 rounds." ”

In addition, Japan's steel resources are very scarce, the manufacturing cost of submachine guns is high, the process is complex, and the consumption of ammunition is too large in the war, which is also the reason why the Japanese army does not choose to equip submachine guns.

Even the army of the Great Japanese Empire was not equipped with submachine guns, and it was even more impossible to have an industrial base of almost zero, so the Japanese squadron leader took the submachine gun as a light machine gun as a matter of course.

The unbelieving squadron leader once again organized a squad of troops to blow up the armored vehicles, which was too much of a threat to the attacking troops.

"Quick! Drive over! ”

Seeing that another little devil rushed over to send him to death, Li Han directly ordered the driver to rush in the direction of the devil, and he himself controlled the light machine gun in front of him to keep firing.

The devil's loading truck has thin skins and poor quality, and he still lies on his stomach at every turn. Moreover, the shells of the Type 92 infantry guns alone were enough to smash a big hole in it, and the 80 mortars were enough to make him lie on his stomach if he was lucky.

But despite all its shortcomings, without the threat of artillery, it is a big killer on the battlefield, and devil rifles and machine guns can't help it.

Although Li Han was sitting in the car, he could see the devil's movements clearly, and all the devil soldiers who tried to approach the armored car were killed by him with a machine gun.

Behind the armored car, there are more than 200 soldiers of the guard company who are responsible for checking and filling in the gaps.

With two armored vehicles as cover, the fighters of the guard company quickly approached the attacking force of the devils.

"Brothers, rush!"

After the Japanese army entered the effective range of the submachine gun, without Li Han saying anything, the commander of the guard company, Jin Long, took the lead in rushing out of the protective range of the armored car, holding an MP18 submachine gun and shouting loudly.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

The soldiers of the guard company, each with a submachine gun in hand, shouted loudly and rushed out with the golden dragon.

When the devil saw that the people had finally left the protective range of the armored vehicle, they suddenly became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they came up with their rifles.

Whether it was on marksmanship or bayonet technology, they were confident that they would be able to torture the Chi Na man, and the devil squadron leader also breathed a long sigh of relief, but fortunately the Chi Na man didn't know how to use the armored car.

But the next scene made the squadron leader's eyes almost fall to the ground.

The Imperial soldiers who rushed to the front were beaten like a hornet's nest by the submachine gun fire of the Shina soldiers, and after one group fell, another group went up, and then continued to be knocked down.

The Japanese troops attacking frontally were counter-charged by the soldiers of the guard company, and the fierce firepower sent the attacking Japanese soldiers to the sideways with flesh and blood, and scarlet blood and dripping minced flesh fell on the position.

The devil soldiers desperately wanted to rush up and fight bayonets with the soldiers, but the soldiers just didn't want to give them this opportunity.

The submachine gun strafing did not stop for a moment, and the ground was covered with a layer of golden submachine gun bullet shells, and the squadron blocking the front soon could not withstand such a powerful fire blow.

More than 200 submachine guns, plus two armored vehicles equipped with six light machine guns, the devil squadron was only about 180 people, and they immediately suffered heavy losses after such a beating, and retreated in embarrassment.

Not only did this devil squadron fail to attack, but the other squadrons did not end much better.

Since Li Han completed the refitting of the troops before the war, each regiment and battalion not only added a large number of light and heavy weapons, but also retained all other weapons except for rifles, which were recovered by the brigade headquarters.

The reconnaissance battalion and guard company, as combat units directly under the brigade headquarters, naturally received special care from Li Han.

With the same number of people, they were armed with even more light and heavy machine guns than the Japanese army, and several squadron leaders of the devils launched several group charges in a row, but they were all beaten down by the soldiers with dense firepower.

The Japanese army, which had always had absolute superiority in firepower, also became incapable of fighting after losing its firepower superiority, and the 12th Brigade attacking Honda suffered at least 300 casualties, of which more than two-thirds were killed.

"Yagaya deer! This is a shame for the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire! Honda Shaozuo tore the casualty report sheet in his hand.

Before leaving, Honda Shaozo had always positioned his enemy as a unit at the division and brigade level of the Chinese army, and the Chinese army of only 1,000 people was never taken into account by Honda Shaozuo.

But this opponent who was not looked at by him not only blocked his own attack, but also caused such a big casualty to the Twelfth Team, Honda Shaozo was angry at the same time, and also began to complain about Seiichi Yamashita.

If he hadn't transferred the infantry artillery squad of his brigade, the armored vehicles of the Chinese army would have been wiped out long ago, and the imperial army's offensive would not have failed.

What's even more annoying is that these two armored vehicles are clearly the two in the wing headquarters, damn Yamashita Yoshio, not to mention the loss of soldiers, the armored vehicles can be captured by the Chinese army. Even if the battle is lost, won't there even be time to blow up the armored car.

Fortunately, Yamashita Yoshio Shaozo has returned to China, otherwise hearing Honda Shaoza's duties, Yamashita Shaosa, who has always been arrogant, doesn't know what unexpected things to do.

Unlike the bleak and gloomy Japanese command, Li Han's side was beaming with joy after winning the battle.

"Brigade commander, how did the little devil become so incompetent, this time we killed at least a few hundred devils. And our own losses are small".

Li Yong has also fought a lot of vicious battles with devils, and it is the first time that he has repelled the devil's attack so easily.

"You kid, don't be too careless, the little devils mainly suffered losses from submachine guns and armored vehicles this time, plus they have never taken us seriously, and when the devil's army comes up, it will not be so easy to deal with."

Seeing that Li Yong was a little overjoyed, Li Han reminded on the side.

"What are you afraid of, the devils have a large army, don't we have them, besides, there are many more people in our brigade than the devils."

Li Yong is now full of confidence, the soldiers are the courage of the generals, and the soldiers under him are powerful in fighting, and Li Yong, the battalion commander, is naturally full of confidence.

"Don't talk so nonsense, while Seiichi Yamashita hasn't come over yet, we're making a charge, and then we'll go back to Duolun."

Li Han ignored Li Yong's words, a brigade of devils did not carry infantry guns, this opportunity is not common, do not take the opportunity to slim down the devils, Li Han is worried that they are too fat and will not be able to go to Duolun.

"Moximoxi! Is it Honda Shaoza? I'm Shigemo Kuroda, and the Wing Captain asked me to ask you if you had an encounter with the Shina Army and defeated your opponent. ”

"Boom ......"

Before Kuroda could finish his sentence, he heard a violent explosion on the phone, followed by intermittent gunshots coming from the microphone.

"Hey! Feed! Feed! Honda Shaoza, are you there, what's going on. ”

Realizing that something was wrong with the situation, Kuroda Shigezo hurriedly yelled into the microphone. But no one answered Kuroda Shaoza's words, and the phone was full of gunfire and gunfire.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the second lieutenant on the position passed by the command post and heard a voice coming from the phone and picked up the phone.

"Hi, Your Excellency Chief of Staff!"

As soon as he heard that it was Chief of Staff Kuroda on the other end of the phone, the second lieutenant immediately put his legs together, raised his head and said with his chest high, regardless of whether Kuroda Shigezo on the other end of the phone could see it or not.

"Let Honda Shaozo answer the phone!"

"Hey! Your Excellency the Chief of Staff and Your Excellency the Captain of the Brigade have gone to the front, and the people of China are attacking our department. ”

"Shw! When Honda Shaoza returned, let him report the situation to the wing captain immediately. ”

Knowing that Honda was not there, Kuroda had no desire to continue talking to the ensign, and he had to report the matter to the wing commander as soon as possible.

During the time when Kuroda Shizo was talking on the phone with the devil second lieutenant, Li Han led his troops to attack the 12th Brigade, and behind the infantry, the artillery company of the reconnaissance battalion was carrying out a fierce artillery attack on the devil in front.

Having been in China for so long, the attack has always been the patent of the imperial army, and in the face of Li Han's sudden attack, the devils of the 12th Brigade seemed a little caught off guard.

However, the Japanese army was well-trained after all, and after the first round of artillery fire, the devil's mortars and grenadiers quickly entered the combat state.

The soldiers and the devils have also fought a lot of battles, and in the face of the devils' counterattack, they do not panic, the charge that should charge, the cover that should cover. Shoot the gun, shoot the gun, shoot the gun, everyone methodically executes the duties of a warrior.

Although they did not carry Type 92 infantry guns, the Japanese army had quite a few grenadiers, and there were more than 30 grenadiers in a brigade, and two Type 11 70-mm mortars were also strengthened during the war.

Although Li Han captured a lot of weapons from the devil team during this time, now the stalls of the 145th Brigade have also widened, and there is still a gap between them and the devil troops in terms of grenadiers, and even the main battalion of the reconnaissance battalion, which is only equipped with 12 grenadiers.

Although our army's artillery has a slight advantage in equipment, the level of devil artillery is much higher than that of our army, so the artillery of both sides is evenly matched.

After all, the artillery of the devils has been professionally trained, and they have also experienced the baptism of war, and the artillery of our army is almost always trained on the battlefield, and many artillery soldiers are firing artillery with experience.

However, Li Han actually chose to attack, naturally considering all this, he couldn't stop attacking because there was no artillery cover.

Under the orders of Li Han, the reconnaissance battalion and the guard company opened up heavy firepower, and the fighters, under the cover of armored vehicles, withstood the fire of the Japanese and began to charge. (To be continued.) )
