Section 382 Nogi Noshinori Speed [M]
Aim. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If it were replaced by an ordinary Qing army, it would be almost impossible for this order to be carried out correctly - ordinary Qing soldiers simply did not possess such skills; Even those soldiers who were trained by German military advisers still couldn't aim at a target correctly because their instructors devoted more energy to platoon training - but Umbrella's military advisers trained soldiers were quite different, for whom aiming was like breathing and eating, an instinct.
The difference between the two types of soldiers was extremely obvious in Nie Shicheng's troops. When the order was given, the soldiers who had been trained by American advisers, and the soldiers who had led the captain to be trained by American advisers—of course, the officer had to direct them for a long time—neatly placed the Japanese soldiers who were rushing up with a strange scream into their crosshairs, while the other soldiers apparently did not know what to do, and simply aimed their guns at the target in imitation of their colleagues.
Fortunately, the dense formations maintained by the Japanese army helped the soldiers a lot. As long as a soldier does not raise the muzzle of his gun too high, or too low, his bullet will inevitably hit a target; As for how to keep their muzzles in a relatively normal range, the junior officers who were promoted before the start of the battle knew what to do.
And these officers moved quite quickly. Before the Japanese soldiers came into the effective range of their rifles, every rifle in the first trench was aimed at the target. The soldiers are all ready.
Then there was a short wait, a few seconds, but enough to shorten the distance between the two sides to three hundred meters.
Now is the time!
"Fire!" The officers shouted.
Without hesitation, this order was carried out accurately and effectively, and not only by the soldiers of the Armed Front Army, who had been disguised and hidden near their positions, although they did not hear the order, but only out of training and habit, opened fire on the Japanese troops.
Thousands of rifles...... The fact that there may have been 2,000 rifles firing at the same time is not spectacular, but it can still be frightening, especially for the unfortunate Japanese soldiers who had to face the muzzles directly. Even though they had all undergone rigorous training and were determined to serve the emperor, the soldiers panicked when they saw the sudden collapse of hundreds of their comrades, who had been laughing together in the morning.
"Forward-" The commander's voice rang out, but then stopped abruptly. A sudden bullet struck him straight in the forehead. For a mercenary, it would be easy to pick out a guy with a command knife in the middle of a group of Japanese, and if this guy was still standing in the first row, then he would be dead.
"Forward-" The same fate befell the Japanese officer who took over the commander. The same is true for the third person.
Of course, by this moment, not a single officer had realized that someone was deliberately shooting someone as big as them, and they only saw the death of their superiors and colleagues as an accident. But the panic among the soldiers was exacerbated by the death of three officers in a row, followed by chaos.
Some soldiers stopped, crouched or crouched, raised their weapons to fight back against the enemy; Others quickened their advance, wanting to enter the trench as quickly as possible and engage the enemy there in close combat. But no matter what they do, the fate of these soldiers will not really make any difference.
When machine guns and submachine guns joined the battle, everything became obvious.
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield.
The coalition officers and reporters who had come to watch the battle had just experienced a shock: except for those who had already watched the battle yesterday, they were all startled when the neat and heavy gunfire erupted from the positions of the front army of the armed guards, and a large number of Japanese soldiers fell in an instant. There is no doubt that in the minds of these Westerners, only the Western army and the Japanese army can complete such a ferocious salvo, while the Chinese army, which has been in the past wars, has shown that its shooting is always messy and inaccurate.
But now the situation is completely different, and this bad army suddenly has a little bit of a Western military color. The officers couldn't help but worry that if their troops were to fight, they might not perform better than the Japanese army. The only thing to be thankful for is that after the first round of shooting, the Chinese soldiers returned to their old ways, so most of the officers and all journalists breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, the Americans have not trained the Chinese well. Thinking so, they decided not to worry.
Only a handful of people noticed that there were still some neat shots mixed in with the renewed chaos of gunfire. Immediately, they discovered that the speed at which the Japanese soldiers were falling had not changed much compared to the beginning. That is, even if the Chinese are chaotic and cannot be consistent, their firepower is still accurate and deadly.
This is not good news - the machine guns of the Chinese army have not yet entered the battle.
"It's going to get worse." Someone grunted.
As soon as his words fell, the situation became even worse, as he had claimed: the machine guns had ended their silence and were firing heavily. Moreover, it was very unfortunate for their enemies that the zigzag-shaped trenches dug by the Chinese soldiers allowed any two of their machine guns to form a crossfire net, strafing the target from the side, and the Japanese were like ham sandwiched between two slices of bread, eaten to death.
Perhaps, before they reach the first trench, the Japanese will lose half of their personnel...... This battle seemed destined to be yet another defeat.
The officer set his eyes on Nogi Noshinori. Like the vast majority of spectators, the lieutenant general was watching his troops intently, but strangely there was no expression on his face, neither nervousness, nor sadness, nor anger. Nogi just stood there watching, more like a bystander than any bystander, as if it weren't his troops who were being beaten.
Compared to him, Ishibashi Kenzo was much more normal: the chief of staff was loudly reprimanding the commander of the artillery, asking him to provide more accurate and fierce artillery support to the infantry units, and the sound even exceeded the noise of artillery fire.
Of course, this may simply be because Kenzo Ishibashi was closer to the crowd than the artillerymen - under normal circumstances, no one could have heard more than a few dozen field guns - but it is also possible that the roar of Mr. Chief of Staff could indeed overwhelm the noise produced by the field guns.
He was so excited that his emotions were a little out of control. But this was an inevitable result: although the Japanese artillery had done their best to provide fire support to the infantry, the thousands of shells they fired did not weaken the Chinese's firing, even for a short time.
Obviously, the power of the field artillery was not enough to complete the task assigned by Kenzo Ishibashi. Those shells can tear through barbed wire, blow down trenches, kill soldiers, but they can't do anything with machine-gun bunkers reinforced with sandbags and logs. Unless it hits directly, the machine gun will keep firing until it stops on its own.
However, the cessation of firing from one machine gun often meant that another machine gun began firing, and the situation of the Japanese soldiers did not change in any way. They are still in the cross-fire web, and they have to keep going.
So Ishibashi's emotions will get out of control. If the machine guns of the Chinese cannot be suppressed, the soldiers will die.
The officer thought he could understand Mr. Chief of Staff, but not Nogi Noshinori. When he returned his gaze to the lieutenant general, he found that the general's Excellency still had no expression. The only change from a few minutes ago is that he is standing straighter than he had just been.
Yes, he was standing more upright than he had just been. When his army was hit harder and harder, the Japanese general's only reaction was to pose an absolute standard of military qualifications in front of all onlookers.
It's incredible.
But Nogi Noshinori had a different view of his performance: the big man should not show his feelings, and he should not become emotional because of a slight accident—no doubt he saw the present difficult situation as an unexpected minor trouble; But in the end, his army will still complete its mission and win.
Nogi told himself again and again that the Japanese army would defeat the Chinese army, the valiant Yamato samurai would defeat the cowardly Shina, and His Majesty the Emperor would protect his people......
And his soldiers are dying at a rate that seems alarming to all.
Nie Shicheng took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. The battle did not last long, only a little more than ten minutes, but the attacking Japanese troops probably lost more than half of their soldiers. As a veteran who had participated in the First Sino-Japanese War, this result not only surprised Nie Shicheng, but also gave him some pleasure of revenge.
Of course, this is Qin Lang's credit. Although he still couldn't figure out what the American general and businessman was thinking, Nie Shicheng still had to thank Qin Lang for providing him with weapons and ammunition, as well as sending advisers to train officers and soldiers. Without this, he would never have seen the Japanese strewn corpses in front of his position.
The sight of more than 1,500 corpses of Japanese soldiers, and the number counting, is a satisfying sight.
Nie Shicheng let out a long sigh, and then began to think of the victory report that he would present to Beijing.
The adults in the Military Aircraft Department will not believe it.
He chuckled to himself. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
