Chapter 142: Quickly Fight Back
Wu Liangxing still had some combat experience in the end, and when he heard that a cannonball was falling, he immediately took refuge in the trench.
Shells began to fall on the position, and as the shells exploded, the number of casualties of the puppet army began to rise like rockets.
In just two minutes, the puppet army paid the price of dozens of deaths.
With the accurate burst fire from eight heavy machine guns, the puppet army's casualty figure easily exceeded double digits.
Seeing the fierce fire suppression of the Eighth Route Army, the puppet soldiers were much more honest now, and they quickly hid in the trenches and did not dare to show their heads.
"Damn, didn't you say that the Eighth Route Army was called the Hanako Army? Where did they get so many heavy weapons, I'm afraid that this kind of firepower will catch up with an artillery regiment of the Jin Sui Army, these artillery are also accurate, this is Sun Weiguo's troops? ”
Wu Liangxing's eyes widened, he looked at the subordinates beside him, and shouted loudly, the expression on his face changed.
Before, he felt that Sun Weiguo's troops should be very poorly equipped, and he felt that with his strong subordinates, he could resist Sun Weiguo's troops.
Moreover, the Japanese equipped them with a lot of mountain artillery and light and heavy machine guns, and Wu Liangxing was full of confidence in his troops, and he did not take Sun Weiguo's troops seriously.
The previous strafing made Wu Liangxing feel that he would definitely defeat Sun Weiguo, but with the fire suppression of the artillery battalion and machine gun company, Wu Liangxing was scared as soon as he saw him.
The artillery battalion units hit very accurately, and after a test shot, the shells behind them all accurately landed on the positions of the puppet army.
Especially the artillery of the third company, their use of mortar fire is simply superb, and almost every shell of their artillery will bring casualties to the puppet army.
Of course, the artillery battalion was able to achieve such outstanding results because of their training, and their training was guided by Sun Weiguo.
There is an obvious feature of Sun Weiguo's training troops, that is, the troops are to conduct live-fire training.
Zhong Jian and Shen Wei, the old Red Army, were reluctant to carry out live-fire training, they felt that bullets were life and must not be wasted, as for shells, they felt that they were more important than life, and after each training in the artillery battalion, Zhong Jian and Shen Wei were so distressed that they were about to shed tears.
However, Sun Weiguo had a different view of their thinking, and the officers and men were trained with weapons and did not give them the opportunity to shoot live ammunition.
In this way, the officers and soldiers have ten bullets on the battlefield, and these ten bullets may not be able to hit an enemy.
However, if they are asked to kill nine bullets in training and leave one bullet, the chance of that bullet hitting the enemy is greatly increased during the battle.
The artillery battalion and machine gun company of the Independent Regiment were trained with live ammunition, and Sun Weiguo personally conducted the assessment of officers above the platoon level.
He trained the officers, and then he had the officers train the soldiers, and every machine gun shooter and gunner had a chance to fire live ammunition.
But if several consecutive live firing can't hit the target, then Sun Weiguo will directly replace him.
Therefore, the artillery battalion can have such accurate shooting, which is inseparable from Sun Weiguo's training, and of course, the artillery battalion also has some veterans, which also plays a great role.
The eight heavy machine guns did not have a lot of bullets, they fired accurately, and as long as it was an outcropping puppet army, they would be hit by bullets.
Wu Liangxing asked loudly in the trenches, but no one answered his questions.
The Japanese squad leader was hiding in another trench, listening to the sound of continuous shells exploding, and feeling the attack of precision bullets, the expression on the face of the Japanese squad leader changed, and he knew that he had encountered China's elite troops.
Garrisoned in Binh Dinh County were Japanese troops of the 79th Wing, who had not fought with the Independent Regiment.
But just by hearing the fire of the opponent's heavy machine gun, the Japanese squad leader knew that the opponent was elite.
The Japanese squad leader picked up the binoculars, he looked for a very hidden place, and began to poke his head out quietly.
Observing that the opposing side had already launched a charge, the face of the Japanese squad leader became solemn.
Seeing that the other side opened a long line of skirmishers, the infantry alternately covered the advance, and these charging infantry did not have the slightest confusion, they were very orderly.
Especially when he saw the officers who were obviously holding shell guns rushing to the front, the Japanese squad leader swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he quickly returned to the trench.
Just as he bowed his head back into the trench, a bullet struck him directly into his steel helmet.
If he hadn't moved one step faster, this bullet would have killed him directly.
"Since I entered the battlefield of China, it is the first time I have encountered such elite troops, they are well-armed, the troops are well-trained, the officers can take the lead in the charge, and the soldiers can keep order and not chaotic while charging. Even the Central Army, which was regarded as the greatest opponent of the Imperial Japanese Army, did not have such capabilities. ”
Looking at a few ghost soldiers who were ready to fight, the Japanese squad leader muttered to himself, and his eyes inadvertently showed a desperate gaze.
It's just that this gaze was well concealed by him, and these ghost soldiers are also afraid of death, but he won't show it easily.
"Squad leader, what should we do now, I'm afraid these appeasement army troops have lost their fighting spirit."
A ghost soldier came to the Japanese squad leader, and he asked with a worried face, they only have a squad of more than ten people, how can they hold their position.
"Immediately enter the town, use the phone to get in touch with the county, and if the phone can't get in touch, try to go to the county seat to report."
The Japanese squad leader sent four devil soldiers to the town, and they tried in vain to report the situation to the county seat Takano Shuichi.
Four devil soldiers were ordered, and they quickly entered the town along the communication trench.
At this time, the first platoon and the second platoon of the company, which served as the core attacking force, had entered a distance of 300 meters from the position, and at the same time, the first platoon of the machine gun company that followed the action together stopped advancing, and they quickly set up four heavy machine guns, which did not fire, but aimed their guns at the position of the puppet army.
AS THE TROOPS MARCHED TO THE FRONT AGAIN FOR A DISTANCE OF MORE THAN TEN METERS, THE ARTILLERY SQUAD THAT FOLLOWED THE ATTACK ALSO STOPPED ADVANCING, AND THEY QUICKLY SET UP BUNKERS WITH TWO 70MM INFANTRY GUNS, AND THE MUZZLES OF THE BLACK HOLE WERE AIMED AT THE PUPPET POSITION.
The soldiers of the first and second platoons continued to charge forward, and on either side of them were two platoons of the second company serving as assistants.
"Wu Sang, quickly counterattack, don't let them get close to the position."
The Japanese squad leader in the trench had already found Wu Liangxing, and the Japanese squad leader shouted loudly, his face full of anger.
The puppet army's performance made him very disappointed, and his right hand was already on the command knife, as if Wu Liangxing would directly kill Wu Liangxing as long as he didn't agree.
