Chapter 430: Earned Again
The two squadrons of Japanese troops, under the orders of the brigade commander, armed with rifles, quickly rushed out of the position, trying to wipe out or drive away the Liaodong Army that was digging trenches. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Dozens of light and heavy machine guns deployed in this direction also opened fire quickly, providing fire cover for the counterattacking forces.
The Liaodong Army, which was hiding in the trenches, had already prepared.
Dozens of light and heavy machine guns were quickly placed on the edge of the trench to fight back against the bullets fired by the Japanese.
Of course, the target of their counterattack was not the light and heavy machine guns that the Japanese were firing, but the counterattack units of the two squadrons of the Japanese army.
Under the dense bullet fire, the Japanese troops, who were almost in a frenzy, were swept to the ground in pieces.
Of course, the light and heavy machine gunners of the Guards Brigade were also replaced by batch after batch under the suppression of Japanese fire.
After a tragic firefight, the two Japanese infantry squadrons were completely lost before they could break out of 50 meters.
The light and heavy machine gunners of the Liaodong Army, who participated in the battle, lost forty or fifty people.
"Bageya Road ......" looked at the battle that had stopped in front of him, and the commander of the Japanese brigade once again scolded loudly.
After scolding, the brigade commander wanted to send troops to attack again, but as soon as the order was exported, it was vetoed by the chief of staff.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, now we have five infantry squadrons and four heavy machine gun squadrons left, and one infantry squadron and one heavy machine gun squadron are defending in one direction, and there are no more troops available."
"Baga ......" the brigade commander scolded loudly again.
When he was done, he ordered: "Tell the warriors to be ready for hand-to-hand combat with the enemy." Even if we can't use our firepower advantage, we must use our own assassination advantage to destroy at least twice as many enemies......"
More than 1,000 Japanese troops, under the orders of the brigade commander, clenched their bayonet rifles and quietly waited for the last moment to come.
Thousands of soldiers of the Guards Brigade kept waving the shovels in their hands, extending the trenches under their feet step by step towards the Japanese positions.
In this way, one morning, there was not a single gunshot on the battlefield, except for the sound of shovels digging in the earth.
"Brigade commander, it's almost dug up, the trench close to the Japanese army is less than twenty meters, and the distance is only thirty meters." Huang Zhongxin, the head of the third regiment, rushed over and reported with an excited face.
"Then order the troops to enter the position. As soon as my flare gun went off, the infantry threw the grenade in the shortest possible time. Then the heavy machine guns covered, and the light machine guns, as the first echelon of the attacking troops, directly launched the attack. “
"The riflemen, all with bayonets, followed the machine gunners to attack. In the shortest possible time, rush to the Japanese position, and do not give the Japanese army any chance to react and adjust. ”
The Guards Brigade stopped digging trenches, and a few dozen meters away the Japanese immediately realized that the time had come for the final decisive battle.
With the exception of machine gunners, every Japanese infantryman clutched a rifle with a good bayonet and crouched in the trenches, waiting for the enemy to rush over.
After the three signal flares of "Bang ......" rose into the air and exploded, dense grenades flew towards the Japanese positions.
Looking at the grenades falling from the sky above their heads, many Japanese soldiers showed puzzled and shocked expressions on their faces.
However, in the next few seconds, they were shocked to taste the tremendous power of the grenade's explosion.
The shocked expression on his face was also shrouded in fear at this time.
As soon as a round of more than 3,000 grenades exploded, the Japanese positions were enveloped in smoke.
Because there were too many grenades falling from the sky, many of them fell directly into the trenches, and the Japanese troops who were suddenly attacked had no way to hide. With just one grenade attack, the Japanese suffered heavy losses.
Before the rest of the Japanese troops could react from their panic, a new round of more than 3,000 grenades exploded from the sky again.
After three rounds of grenade rain in a row, it was already difficult to find an intact Japanese soldier in the Japanese position, which was shrouded in thick leisure.
Everywhere there were the screams and wails of soldiers.
The dense heavy machine guns that were set up on the edge of the trenches were also bombed everywhere. Many light and heavy machine guns that were directly hit by grenades have even been blown into parts.
The commander of the Japanese brigade, because he had a large number of guards to use him as a meat shield, was very lucky to survive and was still intact.
When he pushed away the corpse pressed on his back and saw the tragic picture around him, the whole person was directly stunned.
As a brigade commander, he has experienced dozens of battles, if not hundreds.
It is certain that in his military career, he has never encountered such a tragic picture.
Dense corpses were piled up, some were blown up with missing arms and legs, some were blown open and disemboweled, and internal organs were scattered everywhere......
As far as the eye can see, there are tragic images full of blood everywhere.
Before the brigade commander could react from the shock, dense gunfire rang out from the Liaodong Army's position dozens of meters away, and swishing bullets continued to fly overhead.
If it weren't for the fact that he was squatting in the trenches and the bullets whizzing above his head, he would have beaten himself into a hornet's nest at once.
Suddenly the sound of gunfire finally woke up the brigade commander in shock.
The whole person was like an angry lion, and he shouted loudly: "The enemy has begun to attack, counterattack, counterattack immediately?" “
After the order was given, there was no movement in the trench full of corpses, and no one stood up and fired.
The brigade commander, who was in a state of almost madness, actually stood up on his own, picked up a light machine gun next to him, set it up on the trench, and opened fire in the direction where the gunfire came.
As a former veteran, the brigade commander could feel that the bullet he fired hit the target.
However, before the brigade commander had time to rejoice, a dense stream of bullets flew towards him.
Although the brigade commander hid in a very timely manner, the brigade commander's bulky body invisibly slowed down his movements a lot.
In the end, there were still four or five bullets, which were very accurate and pierced a few bloody holes in his body.
The commander of the Japanese brigade, with a face full of unwillingness, was beaten into a hornet's nest by bullets in the chaotic battle, and died without turning a blind eye.
Because the Japanese troops on the position were almost completely lost, and even if they did not die, they were wounded.
The attacking units of two regiments rushed into the Japanese positions with almost no losses.
Soon, there was not a single living Japanese on the battlefield.
Two hours later, the results were sent to Li Xiaohu.
"Brigade commander, the harvest has been counted. We have captured a total of 38 intact heavy machine guns, 118 light machine guns, and the remaining more than 80 light and heavy machine guns have some problems to a greater or lesser extent, and if they are sent to the arsenal, it should not be a problem to repair 50 of them. ”
"In addition, we also captured 4,284 working rifles, but there are a few fewer bullets......"
"We ourselves lost 257 people, of whom 99 were killed in battle. However, the more than 10,000 grenades we brought were almost gone. ”
Li Xiaohu was not satisfied with this result.
With so many grenades, plus thousands of elites, it is possible to deal with less than two thousand Japanese troops, and the losses are still so large.
But thinking of the captured light and heavy machine guns, the trace of dissatisfaction in Li Xiaohu's heart was immediately covered with a smile. (To be continued.) )
