Chapter 435: Who Blocks Kills
As soon as the captain's order was issued, the squadron leader of the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron began to observe the surrounding terrain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Soon, a small high ground less than a hundred meters from the main forces appeared.
In the squadron leader's opinion, the reason why the Liaodong Army did not use this high ground to block itself must be because the high ground is too small, and it is only twenty or thirty meters high, standing alone on the side of the official road, and there is no place to hide.
However, the high ground is not good for defense, that doesn't mean it's bad for attack.
The squadron leader was confident that as long as a dozen or so heavy machine guns of his heavy machine gun squadron were on the high ground, the condescending firepower would definitely be able to suppress the Liaodong Army.
So, without thinking about it, the squadron leader rushed to the high ground with his subordinates and arranged heavy machine gun positions.
A squadron of nearly 200 Japanese infantry also quickly broke away from the main force and began to fight accordingly.
As soon as the covering fire of the heavy machine gun squadron sounded, the Japanese troops of this squadron would launch a decisive attack on the Liaodong Army.
Five minutes later, more than a dozen Japanese heavy machine guns went off.
More than 100 Japanese troops lined up in a straggler formation, armed with rifles, and swept towards the position of the second regiment and the second battalion.
The battle situation was the same as the inference of the captain of the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron, under the suppression of the condescending fire of more than a dozen of his own heavy machine guns, the Liaodong Army was directly pressed and could not raise its head and hid behind the position.
In this way, the attacking Japanese troops were as if they had been stimulated, screaming and attacking in the direction of the position of the second battalion, as if there was no longer an enemy threat on the position of the second battalion.
"Deputy regiment commander, don't you want to counterattack, the Japanese army has already rushed to a distance of two hundred meters......" the commander of the second battalion said with an anxious face.
"The suppressive firepower of the Japanese is too fierce, and now let the brothers fight back, there is no difference between sending them to death, just wait." Deputy Head Wang shook his head and said in denial.
"Wait?" The second battalion commander asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief.
"Wait a little longer, five minutes at most, and the Japanese will be able to rush in front of us and engage in hand-to-hand combat with us."
Deputy Head Wang replied confidently: "Don't worry, in less than five minutes, there will definitely be a miracle." When the time comes, not only the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron will not be able to run, but also the more than 100 arrogant Japanese troops in front of them will not be able to run. ”
The second battalion commander was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "Deputy regiment commander, you mean the guard company and all the machine gunners who left early." ”
After Deputy Head Wang smiled, he replied mysteriously: "You'll know later." ”
One hundred meters, when the Japanese attacking force was still the last hundred meters from the 2nd Battalion, everyone, including the commander of the Japanese army, believed that the victory was already theirs.
Looking at the attacking troops advancing on the battlefield, the Japanese heavy machine gunners on the high ground also became more and more excited.
What's more, they have begun to shoot and cheer, as if the victory was already theirs.
As for the other Japanese troops in the heavy machine gun squadron, they were not idle, and gathered next to the heavy machine guns one after another, as if watching a big show, watching the one-sided battle high underground.
And at this moment, a bush on the other side of the heights, less than twenty meters from the top of the mountain, moved.
Just now, it was still a one-person-tall bush, and more than a hundred Liaodong troops suddenly appeared.
Some were carrying light machine guns, some were rifles, and some were holding pistols.
There is no doubt that this is the guard company that was assigned a secret mission by Deputy Commander Wang.
Because of the dense and violent heavy machine gun gunfire, coupled with the attention of the Japanese heavy machine gunners, was focused on the battlefield.
The guards even had so many people coming out of the bushes that none of the Japanese noticed it.
Seeing that the Japanese army was frantically suppressing the blocking position with heavy machine guns, no one noticed this side at all.
Without saying a word, the commander of the guard company was the first to rush out of the bushes with a pistol.
Rushing out with the company commander were a dozen or so machine gunners with machine guns, and more than a dozen officers of the guard company who were also holding pistols.
These people were followed by more than 100 riflemen of the guard company.
More than 100 people rushed out for more than ten meters before the Japanese noticed the movement behind them.
When the shocked Japanese subconsciously opened his mouth and let out an exclamation.
The commander of the guard company, who had been watching every move of the Japanese army, decisively pulled the trigger of the pistol.
The company commander opened fire, and the machine gunners and officers next to him also opened fire one after another, shooting a dense rain of bullets at the back of the Japanese soldiers.
Soon they found that before dozens of Japanese soldiers could turn around, they had been punched out of several bloody holes in their backs.
Even if they react immediately and want to fight back. Bulky heavy machine guns are not something that they can turn the muzzle of the gun just by turning it.
Plus they are a technical class, and very few people are armed with rifles. Even if they reacted and tried to fight back, they would only stare dryly. Seeing the Liaodong Army rushing closer and closer, the dense bullets beat themselves into a hornet's nest.
"Brothers, the Japanese are right in front of you, kill them all." The commander of the guard company quickly replaced the pistol with a magazine and shouted loudly while pulling the trigger on the Japanese soldiers who were close at hand.
The strength of the heavy machine gun squadron was originally small, and the guard company caused nearly half of their casualties in one round of fire.
After the second round of bullets fired by the guard company, not a single living Japanese soldier could be seen in the entire heavy machine gun position.
Everywhere there were bloody holes and the corpses of Japanese soldiers were constantly bubbling out.
"What are you still doing? Waiting for the Japanese to fight? Looking at the stunned subordinates beside him, the guard company commander shouted.
"Those who can shoot heavy machine guns are machine gunners, and others help. Leaving three heavy machine guns to shoot at the Japanese attacking troops, the other heavy machine guns were moved to the back and strafing the main Japanese forces, killing as many Japanese as they could......"
Three heavy machine guns were left behind, and the machine gunners began firing as soon as they were in place.
Three thick heavy machine gun tongues swept directly towards the one or two hundred Japanese troops on the battlefield who had not yet understood.
Wherever the tongue of fire went, the Japanese soldiers who were hit by the bullets fell to the ground and turned into corpses.
Every move of the Japanese heavy machine gun position did not escape the eyes of Deputy Regiment Commander Wang.
As soon as the three heavy machine guns opened fire on the Japanese attacking troops, the deputy regiment commander, who was shining in front of him, decisively ordered.
"The guard company is formed, brothers, all shoot, destroy the Japanese ...... in front of you"
The hundreds of officers and men of the Second Battalion, who were frightened by the sight of the Japanese heavy machine gun hitting the Japanese army, immediately understood.
Quickly exposed his head from the position, picked up his rifle, and pulled the trigger on the Japanese soldiers.
Hundreds of rifles and more than a dozen heavy machine guns immediately fired an impenetrable rain of bullets in front of the formation.
Under the attack of the Liaodong Army, these Japanese soldiers immediately tasted the pain and despair of going from heaven to hell.
Within a few minutes, these Japanese soldiers could not even experience the taste of pain.
The dense bullets that flanked the front and back directly smashed them all into a hornet's nest.
At this time, the remaining heavy machine guns of the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron and the light machine guns brought by the guard company had all been set up on the high ground and the closest side of the Japanese main force.
As soon as the commander of the guard company gave the order to shoot, the Japanese army was enveloped by an overwhelming barrage of bullets. (To be continued.) )
