Chapter 171, River Crossing Battle
The snow-capped mountains are more than 1,800 meters, and for safety, the B-45's body has been stable at an altitude of 4,000 meters, but in this way, the accuracy is not guaranteed. But there is no need to guarantee the accuracy, anyway, it is a cover bombing, and the accuracy can be lost.
"Reach the target, drop the bomb!"
The hatch under the belly of the aircraft was opened, and incendiary bombs were thrown.
"Run!" The Japanese were hiding under this target point, and when the B-45 reached their skies, they were uneasy, and then they heard a scream, the sound of shells crashing against the air as they fell, and they could hear it.
"Boom~~" An orange-red flame bloomed on the ground, and the solidified grease of the explosion splattered everywhere, hanging on the trees, falling on the grass, and causing fires everywhere.
A series of incendiary bombs fell, and soon the entire mountain was surrounded by fire, and the Japanese troops hiding in this mountain were all wiped out.
After burning one mountain, move on to the next.
"These devils, I don't know how stupid they are from time to time, if they fight with us in the streets, I still have some scruples, I don't dare to let the plane throw incendiary bombs, but they actually ran into the mountains to ambush us, isn't it that they were burned to death?" The commander of the Seventh Brigade said with a smile, and his heart was very happy.
The snow-capped mountains, which were originally lush and green, are now on fire, and everything that can be burned on the mountains is on fire, and the Japanese troops hidden deep in the snow-capped mountains have also been reduced to ashes under the fire. Plants, birds, and animals are also clean. For many years after that, the snow-capped mountain was still a barren mountain, with no people, no birds and beasts, no trees, only weeds and barren rocks everywhere.
"What, the Seventh Brigade burned the snowy mountains with a fire,, he is really ruthless, what? The Sixth Brigade and the Eighth Brigade also learned from him, and burned Qingyun Mountain and Tai Mo Shan with one fire? The hell actually burned the people to death, what about these two goods, what about the fifth brigade? Lu Qiang looked at the telegram, stupid, the sixth, seventh, and eighth brigade commanders didn't know if they were brainstorming, and they actually set fire to the mountain, but if they burned, they burned, everything happened, and he had nothing to do, he just scolded them.
As for the Fifth Brigade, he was still entangled with the Japanese army in Dawan Town, where there was an infantry wing, a field artillery wing, and a heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army, and the terrain was relatively gentle, and the two sides fired at each other across the river.
In terms of artillery, the Japanese army does not have much advantage, although they have large-caliber heavy artillery, but in terms of hit rate, it cannot withstand the fifth brigade with drones. The field artillery of the Japanese army has long been knocked out, and the heavy artillery is missing.
Although there were planes in the sky and artillery on the ground, the river could only be crossed by small wooden boats. The water is quite deep, and it rained in Guangdong in the first half of the year, so the water is not shallow, and it is impossible to cross the river.
"Da Da Da ~~~" 14.5mm machine gun bullets swept over the heads of the Japanese troops on the other side of the river, and the Japanese soldiers also fought hard, neither dodging nor having any protection, so they shot with the rain of bullets.
On the river, there were more than a dozen wooden boats, one of them carrying a squad of people, throwing off the snipers, and the others all rushed to the opposite bank by boat.
The machine gunner lying on his stomach in the bow of the ship, holding the trigger of the 81st class, the bullets were shot out with a bang, and the hot shells were thrown into the water with a "sneer~~" sound.
"Boom~~" The shell exploded on the side of the boat, and the water splashed everywhere, drenching the person who put it on, and the boat rose and fell with the ripples.
"Whoosh!" A soldier carried a rocket launcher and fired a rocket at the Japanese army, but because of the undulating boat, the rocket was far from the target and flew into the sky.
In a village, the roofs of several houses were uncovered by the Japanese army, and from above, more than a dozen 15cm guns stood up with their barrels, pointing obliquely to the sky.
"Fire!" At the sound of an order, the dozen or so heavy guns opened fire in unison.
The 15cm shells screamed and smashed into the river, much more powerful than the grenadier mortar.
"Quick, find out where the devil's heavy artillery is hiding." The brigade commander of the fifth brigade hurriedly shouted. When the Japanese opened fire, they would definitely be able to find the Japanese heavy guns according to the direction of the shells.
However, the Japanese army was very treacherous and only fired a salvo, and then it was gone, and the drone swept around the sky and did not find the Japanese artillery position.
"Where did he/her hide?" The brigade commander was a little anxious.
The soldiers crossing the river were shelled, and more than a dozen small boats were swallowed up in an instant, like a leaf sailboat floating in the sea, and only four small boats were left to barely cross the river and reach the other side of the river.
At the beachhead, there were forty people in four boats, and more than 20 were killed by the Japanese at once, and the rest lay on the beachhead and couldn't move.
"Concentrate fire to cover them, follow-up troops, and continue to cross the river." As the main force of this attack, the regiment commander was under great pressure, and when he saw someone on the other side of the river, it was as if he had seen the dawn.
On the opposite bank, more than 30 meters in front of the dozen or so soldiers was the Japanese position, and the Japanese soldiers there were a little caught off guard by the sudden increase in firepower.
A dozen fighters, whose pressure had plummeted, crawled forward, and in order to prevent accidental injury, the artillery stopped firing on that section.
It was only a dozen meters away from the Japanese position, and they could feel the air vibration as the bullets whizzed overhead, and these bullets were fired from behind to suppress the Japanese army, but it also made them a little afraid, if their comrades accidentally deviated, they would give away their lives. Although they will be resurrected after death, the memories of this period after the resurrection are all clear, and they will return to the time when they first came out. Or that now they are dead, and it is another him who comes out, so to speak, it is not the same person, but it is exactly the same as the original him, except for the memory of the period when he was not drawn by the lottery.
More than a dozen fighters lying on the beachhead took out grenades and put them into grenade launchers, and then took a deep breath.
"Up!" One of the fighters suddenly stood up and rushed towards the Japanese position, and the others, not far behind, rushed forward violently, and fired the grenade out of the same place.
The grenade exploded, causing the Japanese army to lose their mind slightly, and in this short distraction, they had already rushed into the trenches of the Japanese army's position.
"Da Da Da~" 81 bars spat out tongues of fire wildly, beating the distracted Japanese soldiers into a sieve.
In the trenches, the 38 canopy, which is more than one meter long, is not as convenient as the 81 bar, and it does not have the same firepower.
The dozen or so fighters who stormed the trenches, except for one who was killed, caught the Japanese by surprise and quickly occupied a small area of territory to block the Japanese army's frantic counterattack.
The Japanese troops, who did not dare to climb to the top of the trench at all, could only attack along the trench and reclaim the occupied position, but they were blocked by the soldiers holding the 81st squad and 81 bars to the corner, and the Japanese army was completely sent to death.
"Good!" The brigade commander was glad to see that someone had taken a foothold on the other side of the river. Most of the Japanese firepower was attracted away by them, so that the pressure on the soldiers crossing the river would be much less, and once they crossed the river, they continued to consolidate their positions and destroy the Japanese army.
"Let the other regiments all press, labor and management will eat them." The brigade commander waved his hand, and the whole army attacked.
Guangzhou, the headquarters of the 21st Army of the Japanese Army, Ando Toshiyoshi's eyes are bloodshot, why? Just because almost all of the main force of their 21st Army was killed and burned by the raging fire, there was now only one infantry wing left in Dawan Town, and it seemed that it would not last long.
"The people of China, without the spirit of bushido, all deserve to die." Enraged, Toshikichi Ando overturned the table in the war room, making a mess of the room.
The main force has all been wiped out, and it is impossible to resist the 251st Division, which is armed to the teeth, by relying on those patchwork teams, some Wanwan troops who are fighting like scum, and the puppet army that can only fight with the wind.
Still, even if it's impossible, do it.
Toshiki Ando, who was overly angry, quieted down, his mind calmed down, and he sat down in his position, "Guard! He shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Hayi!" The guards who had been staying at the door came in.
"Tell someone to clean up here, and also, go to the Ministry of Communications, let them send electricity, and let all the troops gather in Guangzhou."
"Hayi." The guards answered, and immediately went to make arrangements.
"Forty-first Group Army, we'll see." Toshiyoshi Ando has an abominable face.
Dawan Town, it can be said that the battle situation has been decided, once the soldiers of the Fifth Brigade cross the river and gain a foothold, the follow-up troops will continue to replenish it, and the Japanese army will only be defeated and retreated, even if it launches a half-load charge, it will only increase the war points for Lu Qiang in vain.
Although there were no trench sweeper shotguns, in the face of the Japanese army, which was still a single-shot rifle, automatic rifles were sufficient, and when the Japanese jumped over to fight bayonets, not to mention, just a few bullets were sent over, and fools would fight bayonets with them.
Above the trenches, there were still a dense number of bullets, blocking the open space, preventing the Japanese from climbing out of the trenches, crushing them in the trenches with grievances, leaving them to be cleared by the attacking troops.
Holding the 81 bar, the butt of the gun is on the shoulder, and you have to lower your eyes slightly to meet the mechanical sight, compared to the Type 95 and M4A1, which can be aimed at raising the gun, it wastes 1 second that can determine life and death, and the neck is uncomfortable after a long time. But even so, it is much better than the 38 big cover, and when you fire a shot, you have to hang down the muzzle and pull the bolt, which is very troublesome, and during the time when the Japanese army pulled the bolt, it was enough for them to die several times.
As more and more soldiers of the 5th Brigade crossed the river and rushed into the Japanese positions, the control of the Japanese positions was accelerated, and as the losses were greater and the positions were lost, the Japanese had to shrink their forces, gather their ranks, and retreat while fighting.
"Boom, boom~" A violent explosion sounded on the Japanese position, and it was the place occupied by the Fifth Brigade that was bombed.
"Damn, forget about the devil's artillery." The brigade commander said angrily. "Let the troops step up their attacks, and the drones will work hard to find devils and artillery."
This time, before the Japanese opened fire, they stopped one round, and this time they didn't stop fighting, and they didn't seem to want to hide anymore, too, it's all at this time, and it's no fun for them to hide anymore.
"Report, I found it, the devil hid the cannon in the village, and when the cannon was fired, the roof was removed, and when the cannon was not fired, the roof was covered, no wonder I couldn't find it, it seems that the devil also guessed that we have aerial reconnaissance means."
"He didn't guess it, and if he found it, he would kill them."
"Well, brigade commander, the opponent is outside our firing range, the maximum firing range of the 105 howitzer is only 18 kilometers, and the opponent's artillery position is far more than 18 kilometers away from our artillery position."
"Then hurry up and push the cannon forward until you can hit them, do you want me to tell me about this?"
