Chapter 35 Infantry Shelling Tanks

Before several heavy machine gun firing points could be shifted, they were directly hit by bombs, and more than a dozen fighters and several heavy machine guns were blown into ruins at the same time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The bombs continued to rain, and many officers and soldiers had already fallen to the ground, and the blood had already stained the ground red. Many more soldiers hid in the trenches with their heads in their hands, gritting their teeth and enduring the endless bombing and strafing of Japanese planes.

After the devil's pilot dropped all the bombs, he used up all the machine gun shells, and then flew back with a swagger.

With the help of the Japanese planes, the firepower on the front-line positions was suppressed to the minimum, and the morale of the puppet army suddenly soared, and there were cheers, feeling that the imperial army behind them had not abandoned them.

The Japanese army seemed to have made up their minds to help the puppet army at this time, and after the plane left, they immediately began shelling, Zhang Xiaoshan saw that his master had run away, of course, he was not far behind, and ordered the mountain artillery company to also open fire.

Most of the front-line positions have been destroyed by the devil's planes, one-third of the heavy machine guns have also been blown up, and the rest are also suppressed by the artillery fire of the devils and the puppet army, unable to block the charge of the puppet army with all their might, and soon thousands of puppet troops rushed to the position, and the soldiers of the fourth battalion were almost face-to-face.

Several company commanders were suddenly shocked, if they were rushed to the position by the puppet army with an absolute advantage in numbers, it would not be simple to beat them back, if the devils took the opportunity to kill them again at this time, I am afraid that the position would not be able to be defended.

"Get on the bayonet!"

Several company commanders were veterans of many years of war, and the situation in front of them was not good, so they immediately decided to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the puppet army.

Hundreds of soldiers put bayonets in their bayonets and jumped out of the trenches, like a group of tigers descending from the mountain, condescendingly rushed forward and started a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the puppet army.

Li Han, who had been observing the battlefield at the head of the city, saw a large number of puppet troops rushing to the position, and was worried that the troops and the puppet army would be entangled for too long, which would give the Japanese an opportunity.

decided to solve this puppet army quickly, so he took the guard platoon, the third company, and the second echelon of Shanhu and Zhao Gang, with a total of more than 400 people.

When Li Han arrived at the battlefield, the two sides were already in a mess, guns and bayonets were slashed, and the battle quickly entered a white-hot state, and the battlefield was full of roars and shouts of soldiers on both sides.

After all, the soldiers of the fourth battalion are battle-hardened, although they are not as elite as the Japanese army, but there is no problem at all in dealing with these puppet troops, if it weren't for the large number of puppet troops, they would have been driven down from the position long ago.

A tall soldier of the fourth battalion killed several puppet soldiers in a company, and before he could catch his breath, a bayonet stabbed silently next to him.

At this time, Li Han happened to lead his troops to kill nearby, and with a roar, a sword flashed, and he cleanly eliminated the shameless sneak attack of the puppet army.

"Kill! Get rid of these dog traitors! ”

Hundreds of fresh troops rushed to the battlefield, and the soldiers of the fourth battalion who were fighting hard suddenly thundered with joy, and they became more and more heroic when they fought with bayonets, and the puppet army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, and the thousands of puppet troops who finally rushed up soon could not support it, quickly collapsed and retreated, and could no longer stop the offensive of the fourth battalion troops.

Li Han danced his sword and cut down three puppet soldiers in a row, and was about to continue to kill the enemy, but found that there was no puppet army around him.

The vast majority of the puppet troops who rushed to the position were wiped out on the spot, and a small number retreated in embarrassment. It is obvious that under the equal number of people, the puppet army is not at all the opponent of the soldiers of the fourth battalion.

"Battalion commander, incompetent, almost lost his position!"

Although the attack of the puppet army was repulsed, Lin Youzhi, Wang Wei, Hu Zhi and others did not look very good, and the casualties were acceptable, but the position was almost broken by the puppet army, and several company commanders felt very embarrassed.

"I don't blame you, even I didn't expect the Japanese army to send planes to assist these puppet troops in attacking, it's really the sun hitting the west, but this incident also teaches us a lesson: don't despise your opponent under any circumstances."

Li Han didn't want to blame Lin Youzhi for their thoughts, the devil's plane participated in the battle, adding a lot of variables to the war, although the anticline position can greatly weaken the damage of the artillery bombardment, but it cannot defend against the bombing of the aircraft.

"Wang Wei, how is your machine gun company?"

It was very inconvenient to transfer the heavy machine gun, and Li Han estimated that Wang Wei's losses would not be light. Thinking that he was bombing just now, and the enemy planes could wantonly bomb and strafe on his position, but he was helpless, Li Han really didn't feel good in his heart.

"The casualties were relatively large, four heavy machine guns were blown up on the spot, two were unusable and needed to be repaired, and more than 40 personnel were lost."

At the thought of losing half of his combat strength all at once, Wang Wei trembled in distress, his heavy machine gun was almost powerless to resist under the bombardment of the devil's plane.

Li Han asked Lin Youzhi and Hu Zhi about the situation again, and the losses were very large, and more than 50 or 60 people were killed and injured by the planes alone, mainly the soldiers who joined Li Han after he came to Rehe, and they did not know how to avoid the bombing of enemy planes.

Later, he fought with the puppet army with bayonets, Wang Wei's soldiers were machine gun companies after all, and white-knuckle combat was not their specialty, so Lin Youzhi and Hu Zhi's two companies were the main force, so after this battle, the two companies added up to about 260 people. You must know that Li Han has just replenished them with more than 100 people at noon.

Before and after, the fourth battalion had already suffered more than 300 casualties, and whether it was Li Han or the three company commanders, there was a hint of gloom on their faces.

Although they inflicted ten times the losses on the puppet army, the puppet army is not a devil after all, not to mention that there are thousands of devils who are eyeing the devil a few miles away.

Japanese positions,.

The faces of Yoshio Nagano and Zhang Xiaoshan were very ugly, especially Zhang Xiaoshan, in this attack, he lost more than 1,000 people, a division of more than 5,000 people before departure, and now there are less than 2,000 people who can pick up guns, and more importantly, the remaining people are almost without the will to fight, one by one they are depressed and depressed.

Even Zhang Xiaoshan didn't dare to guarantee that if he continued to urge these people to go up, they would not mutiny.

Yoshio Nagano was more dissatisfied, and in order to support these Manchu and Mongolian troops, he not only gave enough fire support, but also asked for aircraft help.

However, these Manchu and Mongolian troops really disappointed him again, and finally rushed to the position, but before he could organize his troops and expand the results of the battle, these Manchu and Mongolian troops were driven back by the opposite Chinese army.

Yoshio Nagano regretted letting the Air Force assist this group of fools, knowing that even he was not easy to ask for air force support, and such a precious opportunity was wasted by these incompetent Manchu and Mongolian troops.

Yoshio Nagano silently looked at the position of the Shina Army opposite, this force seemed to be different from the ordinary Northeast Army troops, not only was it strong in combat, but it was also better equipped than the ordinary Northeast Army troops.

If you think about it carefully, in an unprepared situation, the Yekan Brigade encountered such an opponent in the first battle, and it didn't seem so inconceivable to lose in their hands.

Shaking his head, Yoshio Nagano quickly abandoned this idea that he shouldn't have, and the imperial army was invincible. In order to take Jianping County as soon as possible, Yoshio Nagano decided to send his elite troops to replace these puppet troops with little to no combat effectiveness.

Originally, it was intended to use the puppet army to achieve zero casualties to occupy Jianping County, but now it seems that there is no hope.

However, Yoshio Nagano believed that if he struck by himself, the enemy would soon collapse, not because of his arrogance, but because of the experience he had learned from many battles with the Shina army.

Although the Northern Army was a little difficult, it was because their opponent was the Manchu and Mongolian Army. Under the attack of the invincible imperial army, no matter how many Chinese troops there are, they are just mantis arms as a car.

After a burst of artillery fire, hundreds of devils of the two squadrons, assisted by four tanks, launched a fierce attack on the outlying positions of Jianping County.

The guns of the soldiers of the fourth battalion sounded again on the position, and a battle of life and death began just before dusk.

Li Han did not return to the city, three-quarters of the belongings of the fourth battalion were here, and he was not personally commanding the position, Li Han was a little relieved.

Still, he had the wounded brought back to the city for treatment, reducing the number of casualties as much as possible. As for the soldiers who have already died, there is no other way but to bury them on the spot.

The devil is not a puppet army, not only is his tactical movements proficient, but his will to fight is not comparable to that of the puppet army. The attacking devils are like waves, tirelessly attacking wave after wave.

Of course, the soldiers of the fourth battalion are not soft rice, their marksmanship may not be as good as that of devils, but they are not very far behind, and Li Han put down his words, so that the soldiers can fight hard, and there is no need to save bullets for him.

Hearing this order, many soldiers were eager to use their rifles as machine guns. Coupled with the cover of trenches, for a time it was a close fight with the Japanese army.

However, the most difficult thing is not the devil infantry, but four tanks, although it is only the smallest Type 94 tank, but it is not a rifle that can deal with. Even mortars can't hurt it in the slightest.

Led by four tanks, followed by a large number of devils, with the tank the most covered, the speed of the devil's advance was much happier, and the bullets fired by our soldiers were blocked by the tanks, leaving only a clanging crash.

Seeing that the devils were about to rush to the position, several groups of people rushed up in a row, but there was still no way to take these tanks. The four tanks were rattling forward, and the artillery and machine guns on the tanks were also ringing non-stop.

Lin Youzhi's eyes were red, "In the last group!" Immediately several more warriors came out, their expressions full of determination.

"Go ahead!"

Lin Youzhi had tears in his eyes, the two soldiers who came out were veterans and good hands in the army, although Lin Youzhi was very reluctant in his heart, but he knew that if he waited until the Japanese army rushed up, the cost would be greater.

"Forget it! If you have ambitions, let them go down, after all, the warriors are all flesh and blood, and they can't fight hard with the devil's steel chariot. I've got a way to take out these tanks! ”

At this moment, Li Han spoke. The devil is very good, and the previous batches of people sent out are all veterans of a hundred battles, but they were put down by the devil halfway. Li Han didn't want to let these battle-hardened veterans die like this worthless.

Of course, Lin Youzhi didn't want to do this, and as soon as he heard that Li Han had a way, he immediately asked the two to withdraw to their positions. Li Han said that there is a way, not to comfort Lin Youzhi, but the price is a bit big.

But now that his eyebrows are burning, he can't care about it so much.

"Order Xu Hu to blow up these four tanks with the Type 92 infantry gun." Li Han ordered to the heralds beside him.

"Battalion commander, the Type 92 infantry gun is not a mortar, two or three people can carry it and leave, if you use it to fight the tank, even if you can destroy the tank, I'm afraid our artillery can't be saved."

Lin Youzhi didn't expect that Li Han planned to use the Type 92 infantry cannon to deal with the devil's tank, these two infantry guns can be said to be the only field artillery that the fourth battalion can handle, and they have always been supplied by Li Han like a baby.
