Chapter 172: Leaving No One Behind (I)
At this time, Wang Shizhen was lamenting the good luck of the cavalry regiment, "Thanks to the fact that the Japanese ran out of shells before, otherwise I am afraid that these machine guns will lose a lot." ”
"yes. However, if the Japanese had spared the shells before, they might not have been able to break through the first two lines of defense so quickly, and if it weren't for us, it wouldn't have been a mistake to do so, right? To blame, we can only blame the Japanese for not doing a good job of intelligence work. Commander Zhang nodded, and did not refute Wang Shizhen's point of view, but pointed out the inevitability of the Japanese army's doing this, in order to show that the cavalry regiment's benefits were not due to good luck, "What's more, the commander of the third division is Katsura Taro, and he never spares no effort in doing things."
Knowing that the Datong Party actually had a detailed investigation of Katsura Taro, Wang Shizhen couldn't help but be more and more impressed by it, this organization is terrifyingly strong in all aspects compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there is really nothing to be wronged by surrendering to them, "Your party's intelligence work is really breathtaking, and you know so much about foreign generals, let alone domestic ones, 'Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.'" No wonder you can conquer the country so quickly! ”
In order to save the trapped subordinates, Katsura Taro, who had no better way, could only order the Green Gun to fire at the third line of defense, hoping to suppress the machine gun fire of the cavalry regiment, but because the round-headed bullet was not accurate at a long distance, it did not receive obvious results, but also attracted the counterattack of the cavalry regiment's machine gun
Katsura Taro had no choice but to give up, and it seemed that except for more than 1,000 people who were able to escape back from the back of the machine gun fire, the rest were afraid that none of them would want to withdraw.
The cavalry regiment not only had fierce machine gun fire, but also left a deep impression on Katsura Taro with the accuracy of its shooting, not only the short burst fire of the heavy machine guns, but even if it was only rifle shooting, it also had a fairly high hit rate within 400 meters, which the Japanese soldiers could not match at all.
"Wouldn't it be easy for such a terrible army to overthrow the Manchu government? Why wait until the Imperial Kingdom has started a war before suddenly appearing? Katsura Taro thought puzzled.
According to Katsura Taro's idea, if the rebel army had appeared a long time ago, with the terrible strength they showed, the Japanese government would have given up its ambitions against China long ago, but now that the two sides have fought, Japan will have to face this mysterious and terrible enemy. This made Katsura Taro more and more worried the more he thought about it, especially since the Japanese Navy was finished, and the unprecedentedly powerful Beiyang Naval Division with such a powerful army already had the possibility of landing directly on the Japanese mainland, so what should I do?
For a full three minutes, I didn't see any devils get up as targets, and Regiment Commander Zhang didn't want to wait any longer, so he immediately dispatched three recruits to "clean up the battlefield".
Sure enough, as Regiment Commander Zhang expected, the three recruit companies had just come out of the trenches, and a group of people in the "dead man's pile" stood up and turned around and fled
However, before they could get far, the cavalry regiment, which had been waiting for them for a long time, knocked them to the ground with a flurry of gunfire, and only a few men who were particularly agile and lucky escaped from the effective range of the machine-gun fire in short bursts.
"Hey, the party leader is really right, although human life is fragile, it is also the most tenacious, and it is really not easy to completely eliminate one without leaving behind." Seeing this scene, Regiment Commander Zhang shook his head unconsciously, and immediately shouted to the three companies, "The veterans' eyes are brighter, protect the recruits!" ”
Not to mention, there are really devils who see that there is no hope of escaping and want to pull a few enemies on their backs, but the Japanese army in this period is not equipped with grenades, and pistols are only available to officers, and the sneak attack can only use long guns, the movement is too big, and you have to pull the bolt before shooting, if you still use the old Murata rifle with a single shot capacity, it will be even more tragic, the preparation before shooting is too complicated, unless the Chinese officers and soldiers who come to clean the battlefield are blind or deaf, otherwise the Japanese army has no chance to shoot bullets at all. Under the sharp eyes of those veterans, it is impossible for the devils to succeed in a sneak attack.
Originally, if you put on a good bayonet and suddenly jump up and stab, there is still a certain threat, but these devils have not rushed to the bayonet (the bayonet will seriously affect the shooting accuracy, and generally you have to rush to at least 100 meters before you can get on the bayonet.) There was no chance to put the bayonet on it, and now at most the bayonet could only be used directly as a short sword, and the effect was too bad.
In addition, the devils are all lying on their stomachs, their vision is severely limited, and they cannot effectively respond to each other, and as a result, although there are frequent sneak attacks from the pile of dead people, it is difficult for this kind of scattered attacks to pose much threat to Chinese officers and soldiers.
Not only can't escape, but even the one who pulls a cushion has no chance, and the rest of the devils can only accept their fate, but thinking of the miserable fate of those comrades after the Golden State War, and few dare to surrender to the enemy, then the only choice is to pretend to be dead
In order to pretend to be dead more realistic, Muto Kojiro has not moved since he lay down, and he has not been fooled by the appearance of several "escape opportunities", just like a real dead man.
Thinking of those stupid people who jumped out to their deaths, Muto Kojiro couldn't help but be extremely grateful to his uncle who had participated in the Southwest War, if it wasn't for his warning, he would definitely be like those guys.
"Never move until the enemy withdraws, or is met by friendly forces, or when it is dark. Not only can the body not move, but the breathing should be slowed as slowly as possible, so as not to notice the strangeness of the enemy", hearing the footsteps of the Chinese getting closer and closer, Muto repeatedly recalled the life-saving secrets that his uncle had specially taught him before he left Japan, so as to avoid making mistakes that he should not make, and at the same time to distract his attention and relieve his nervousness.
Hearing that someone was coming near him, Muto's heart suddenly rose to his throat, but he still remembered his uncle's teachings and continued to disguise perfectly. It must be admitted that Muto has the potential to be a good actor, and everyone has been deceived by him, not almost.
However, this did not serve any purpose, and the recruits did not look at whether the "corpses" were dead or alive, they just routinely patched up a bayonet on each "corpse" at the request of the veterans (to be continued). )
