580: 3rd Division with heavy losses
The role that a sniper can play on the battlefield is extremely limited, but when combined with other weapons, the final effect is far greater than 1+1 equals 2. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the battlefield, thousands of soldiers perform their duties, manipulate the weapons in their hands, use the killing skills they have practiced weekdays, and kill all the enemies in front of them with a single shot.
War, when you have not been in contact with it, you will always feel how terrible it is, in fact, it is exactly like this in the world, no matter what his own strength, there are not many people who really like war, and even most people are disgusted by it in their hearts.
But there are some exceptions, the perennial victories have allowed these soldiers to experience the joy of battle, and the glory that seems to have been opened on their bodies is also added to them one after another.
In ancient times, several people were still fighting, and this ancient poem is the sentence that best reflects the deep thoughts of the soldiers. But at this moment, the officers and men of the 371st Division did not have the slightest such worry.
No one is afraid of death, even if they are elite trained steel warriors, but even death cannot completely stop them from stepping onto the battlefield. They enjoy everything here, step by step, shoot at the gun, to kill those enemies who have bullied them, so that they can experience what it is like to be bullied.
Powerful firepower and advanced equipment help them kill all enemies all the time, and at the same time protect them. It is precisely because of these advanced equipment and powerful firepower that these soldiers have temporarily forgotten the cruelty of war.
Not only this machine gun, most of the Japanese machine guns were not able to arrive at the predetermined position on time, most of them were seen dead there, and they couldn't move at all, only a small number of machine guns were forced to start retreating, and then set up a temporary position to symbolically suppress the position of the 371st Division.
But the final outcome of this part of the machine gun is not good, and it can even be described as sad, if a machine gun has not been lying on the bed for more than half a minute, then the mortars behind will lock their eyes on their bodies, at this time it is not as simple as a bullet, but even the heavy machine gun must be killed at the same time.
The casualties of the Third Division are increasing little by little with the passage of time, and the failure of all kinds of heavy firepower makes the Third Division like a sheep into a wolf pack, even if they want to resist, they are a little powerless, how can they solve the dilemma in front of them by relying only on rifles?
At seven o'clock in the morning, the fog finally completely dispersed, the blue sky, a round of scorching sun shining in the east sky, the fiery red light, the white clouds reflected into the fiery red color, a round of fiery clouds formed instantly, the sea surface sparkling, calm and calm, very suitable for going to sea, the Japanese reinforcements are also landing little by little, but the state of these landed Japanese troops is not good, and they cannot immediately enter the battle.
The 27th Division, which followed behind the 3rd Division, also came up immediately, and the 3rd Division suffered heavy casualties, if it did not get any reinforcement support, the 3rd Division would lose the ability to break through the enemy's defensive line, and the previous efforts and losses would also be in vain, and after paying a huge price, it could only return to the original point in the end, which was an unacceptable result for anyone.
Therefore, the 27th Division, which was originally scheduled to bypass from both sides of the 3rd Division and attack diagonally from both sides of the 371st Division, and to cooperate with the 3rd Division, could only be forced to choose to reduce its strength and use the strength of the two wings to support the 3rd Brigade and Regiment, while the remaining two wings were divided into two and continued according to the original plan.
Looking at the situation on the battlefield in front of them, the soldiers of the 27th Division who followed behind could not help but be frightened; the 27th Division was officially organized only two years ago, and from the beginning of its formation to the present, the 27th Division has been staying in Japan for training.
Although the 27th Division had not experienced war, its training was one of the best in the Japanese army, and according to the recruit training mechanism of the Chinese Empire, the training of the 27th Division was even better than that of the Chinese Army.
Although the personal qualities of a soldier are one of the factors that determine war, this is not an absolute factor. Obviously, this time, the Japanese have once again taken the wrong path.
They reorganize the troops according to their previous experience, and they use the training of elite soldiers to make up for the lack of ammunition, so they find a way to improve the soldiers' marksmanship, and I only need one shot to complete the task that you can accomplish with two shots, so as to achieve the purpose of saving ammunition.
This line of thinking is indeed a correct way of thinking, but it also depends on who their opponent is, if it is the Han army before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Japanese army's move can still play a certain role, but at this time, let alone the Chinese army, that is, the German army, the British army, the French army, and the Japanese are still blind in front of them.
The firepower war initiated by the Chinese Empire quickly led the trend of war in the whole world, and in the Russian battlefield, the whole world saw the impact of the war of the new era on the war of the old era.
As early as a few years ago, the Chinese had invented trenches, barbed wire, a positional war artifact, at first the powers did not care, but after a few battles, they found out how useful these two inconspicuous things were.
However, when the whole world was studying this new positional warfare tactic, the Chinese did not hesitate to overturn their theory and changed positional warfare to offensive and defensive warfare, blitzkrieg and other combat methods.
If the previous positional warfare was a method of warfare that any country could learn from, then the subsequent offensive and defensive warfare and blitzkrieg eliminated more than 90 percent of the countries at once, including Japan.
But what makes people even more speechless is that the times have developed for such a long time, and the Japanese have not studied offensive and defensive warfare, blitzkrieg, a new era of warfare. This may be caused by their own strength, but who would have thought that they didn't even fully learn the set of positional warfare.
Japan lacks resources, but who would have thought that in their homeland, it would be difficult for Japan to find barbed wire, even ordinary wire.
In the face of such a big gap between the two sides, the only thing left for the Japanese is to fill this loophole with their lives.
Then the result was already obvious, an hour after the battle broke out, the full strength of 24,000 people, excluding logistics, command and other personnel who were not capable of fighting, the 3rd Division had a total of nearly 15,000 combatants, but after the start of the battle, before the 371st Division's heavy artillery was put into battle, it was only an hour's effort, and the 35,000-strong Third Division was left with less than 10,000 people, and almost all heavy firepower was lost.
If the Japanese army had no other reinforcements at this time, then the 3rd Division, even the 27th Division, which followed up to support, would have been consumed by the 371st Division in a day at most.
Of course, if they can break through the defense line of the 371st Division, then the situation will change, and the equipment superiority of the 371st Division will not be able to be brought into play at that time.
'......Boom'
An explosion brought up the surrounding soil, and the cold soil was instantly heated by the high temperature, emitting bursts of green smoke, and the surrounding Japanese soldiers were forced to fall to the ground, their faces full of pain, but there was nothing they could do.
One grenade after another, like a downpour, fell from the sky, and when more than 5,000 people were lost and the rest of the troops were exhausted, the Japanese finally rushed to within 50 meters in front of the position of the 371st Division.
And the most important thing to do at this time is to don't care about anything, don't care about anything, stand up, and then quickly rush into the enemy's defensive position, as long as you can rush in, you can break their defensive formation, and there will be more and more friendly troops rushing up, and the more people who rush up, the weaker the enemy's defensive firepower, this is the eternal truth.
As for the TV series in later generations, the plot that retreats if it can't be fought once during the positional war, and will continue to fight later, is completely nonsense and groundless.
There is only one possibility for this kind of positional warfare to launch a second attack, and that is that all the troops sent to attack have been annihilated, and there can be no other reason than this.
And the chances of the attacking troops retreating are almost zero, can it be that you attack a distance of fifty meters in front of the enemy, and then retreat, and the enemy will see that you can't walk? At this time, you will definitely have to beat the water dogs, and if you can kill one of them, even if it is cheering, then you have to wait until all the enemies are out of range before cheering.
Therefore, in reality, when encountering this situation, most people choose to send troops in a steady stream, maintain a compact formation as much as possible, and do not have any loopholes, so as not to make the previous efforts come to naught.
A large number of Japanese soldiers prepared the grenades in advance, stood up violently, and planned to throw the grenades into the opponent's position first, and then quickly rushed over with the help of the grenades.
However, most people did not expect that before the Japanese could throw the grenades, a larger number of grenades were thrown in the opposite trench. A grenade may not be powerful enough to explode, but what if on average a grenade explodes at a distance of less than ten meters?
There can only be one final result, that is, in this area, a death zone will be formed in an instant, and no one can cross it, and the Japanese troops who were about to charge also suffered because of this, and the defense of grenades became the last obstacle for them to break through the enemy's defense line.
