569: The tragic Thirty-sixth Division
'Bang ......'
A dull gunshot sounded, and a cloud of blood mist and dirt suddenly appeared in front of him, and after the shotgun bullet was discharged, it flew forward a distance of several meters, and then split into hundreds of fine particles, about two-thirds of which plunged into the body of the Japanese soldier in front of him, and the whole body looked like a hornet's nest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The huge impact force made the thin Japanese soldier fly backwards violently, about two or three meters backwards, and then slammed on the ground, shaking up bursts of dust, and completely lost consciousness.
Shotguns are mainly used in urban warfare, trench warfare is also widely used, its huge power can make the enemy instantly incapacitated, and the coverage is wide, in the trench such a small space, a forward shot, about ten to twenty meters between the distance basically will not have any complete enemy presence.
The disadvantage is that the shotgun cannot be used alone, because due to technical reasons, it cannot be fed with magazines, so the capacity of the shotgun at this time is only two. The advantage is that it can be reloaded at any time, and when a shot is fired, it can be used to reload an ammo when the battlefield situation is not particularly urgent.
Because of the disadvantage of insufficient ammunition capacity, the shotgun must be protected by an automatic rifleman or three riflemen. Although it may seem a bit troublesome, the shotgun has become one of the favorite equipment of the army, especially the special forces, and the shotgun has become almost the standard conventional weapon of the special forces.

Jin Qianqian took out a bullet from the armed belt and skillfully stuffed the bullet into the chamber of the gun, and the whole action took less than three seconds. As a rifleman and fireman, Jin Qianjin is well aware of the shortcomings of the shotgun, and in order to make up for this shortcoming as much as possible, all firefighters must practice the reloading technique hard, which is that on the battlefield, there are many aspects that need to be considered.
In training, it only takes less than two seconds to load an elixir, and it is absolutely possible to load both bullets in four seconds.
But on the battlefield can not do this, before the bullet is taken out, the ammunition compartment can not be opened, and once the ammunition hatch is opened, it must be guaranteed to be able to fight within a second, that is, when loading ammunition, there is only one second of time that belongs to the time without combat effectiveness, before the left hand puts the ammunition at the entrance of the ammunition compartment, if there is an enemy in front, then the right hand can also shoot directly.
While doing so will cause the shotgun's massive recoil to take its toll on itself, it is at least much better than being killed or shot. Of course, if you are well prepared, the impact of a one-handed gun is at most greater, and there are some problems with your center of gravity, and the consequences are not as serious as you imagined, after all, there are still shoulders to support.
As an expert in trench clearing, Jin Qianqian is at the front, behind him, there is an automatic rifleman and two riflemen to protect him, and further back, there are two assault groups with the same configuration to follow, once the front team has a problem, the people behind can also come up at any time.
When it comes to really clearing the trenches, you don't need so many people, and one squad is enough, but this is only a task of clearing inside the trenches.
In fact, clearing the enemy in the trenches is not an easy task, except for the three assault groups staying in the trenches, above the sides of the trenches, there is the real main battlefield, or the main battlefield of feints. The entire 357th Regiment, except for the three assault groups that stayed in the trenches, and a company that followed them to protect them, all the rest of the troops were above the sides of the front trenches.
If they encounter an enemy, they will fight in advance, either with a rifle or just throw a grenade, and then move on to the next step, Jin Qian's task is only to clear the remnants of the Japanese army, because some Japanese soldiers will hide in the anti-artillery holes, and the grenades may not be able to hurt them sometimes.
Of course, Jin Qianjian's task is actually not heavy, and it is not even as good as his comrades on both sides of the trench, because a large number of comrades-in-arms break through the trench in a scattered way, and attack from both sides, and there are basically very few enemies in it who survive.
In less than half an hour, the Japanese army completely abandoned the first line of positions.
Yes, the Japanese army took the initiative to abandon the position, they had no other choice, the Japanese army wanted to fight with the Chinese bayonet, but the Chinese did not give them this opportunity at all, the Japanese troops in the trenches just came out with guns, and before they had time to climb the trenches, they would usher in a grenade or countless bullets.
And the fire team in the trench is not to think about it, often the Japanese army just rushed out with a rifle, and the comrades on both sides of it will shoot a prompt, and then the fireman will be ready, once the enemy figure appears in sight, he will immediately open fire. The power of the shotgun allowed the Japanese army, who had been staying in Japan, to try this kind of power.
This is not a weapon that they can resist at all, often the Japanese army rushes out five or six people, and they can all be knocked down with one shot, and the appearance is very miserable, not because the fighting spirit of the Japanese army is not good, but because the enemy is too strong.
In the exchange of fire in the trenches, the Japanese weapons did not occupy any of them, the 30 rifle was already 1.275 meters long, plus the bayonet was nearly 1.5 meters, and the width of the trench was only 1.5 meters, holding the rifle in it and even turning around was a problem, this side just exposed the bayonet, and before the body could poke out, a grenade was thrown over.
Therefore, this battle is not that the Japanese army does not want to fight, but that there is really no way to fight.
The Japanese frantically fled from the first line of positions, and this sudden change in the battlefield completely disrupted the plan of the 371st Division, according to the plan, they would have to find a way to retreat after a while, and then recede the position to the Japanese army, thus forcing the 36th Division to continue to ask for help to increase the number of Japanese troops in Hakodate.
But now the shelling is half an hour, the battle is half an hour, and in just an hour, the Japanese soldiers who have really been killed are only a few thousand, which is far from reaching the minimum target value, but no one expected that the Japanese army would retreat first at this time.
It stands to reason that this is a good thing, and it didn't take much effort to seize the first position, but at this moment, Huang Jianbin couldn't be happy anyway.
This position arranged by the Japanese army is a one-way position, and it is not defended from the outside, that is to say, this position is only useful to the Japanese army, and if the 371st Division occupies this position and wants to continue to use it, it must be modified, otherwise there is no way to use it. At this time, if the Japanese army suddenly attacked, then although the 371st Division was guarding a trench, in fact, this trench was not of much use to them.
Perhaps the only use is to hide on the other side of cover, but this method is not very useful, or at least not suitable.
"The artillery bombarded slowly, and after dark, they abandoned their positions and withdrew all, and the whole division retreated ten kilometers." After thinking about it again, Huang Jianbin finally made a decision.
If you want to attract more Japanese troops here, in fact, it is not easy, a little careless, it is possible to startle the snake, originally just a simple siege battle, under the guidance of the headquarters stunned to fight a battle, the reason Huang Jianbin understands, fighting such a battle in Hakodate is more beneficial to them than fighting such a battle on Honshu Island, and once they arrive on Honshu Island, the advantages and disadvantages between China and Japan will be reversed.
But it's really not so easy to complete the task, Huang Jianbin has faintly felt a little difficult, but this is also normal, obviously just a division commander, but he was given the task of command, can it be called strange if it is not difficult, of course, if he can easily complete the task and sit firmly in the Diaoyutai, then it also directly proves that he has the potential to be a commander.
A crisis is also an opportunity, and Huang Jianbin knows this truth very well, so he made this bold decision to retreat suddenly when he gained an advantage.
The whole afternoon was not easy for the Japanese army, and the first line of positions, which took several days to build, was lost in less than a morning. To be precise, it should be gone after half an hour.
The Japanese army also suffered heavy losses in this battle, not only losing a lot of heavy firepower, but also throwing more than 6,000 corpses, half of which were directly killed by heavy artillery, this casualty situation, so that the 36th Division could not bear, if it was not really no way back, they even wanted to flee directly back to Honshu Island.
However, when they returned to the second line, although the enemy's infantry did not catch up, the artillery followed with a dead face, and the second line of positions was bombed indiscriminately. Fortunately, there was no salvo this time, and the distance was long, so the hit rate was somewhat lower than in the morning, and although the Japanese had occasional casualties, it was much better than in the morning.
In addition to the shelling or shelling in the afternoon, the atmosphere of the battlefield became more and more intense, which also made many Japanese soldiers feel very uncomfortable, they had not experienced war, and the first time they experienced war was such a scene, which really frightened many people.
The sky gradually darkened, the shelling finally stopped, and the Japanese finally breathed a sigh of relief. The 36th Division, which had suffered a heavy loss, was naturally not satisfied with this result, and the Japanese army did not have an advantage in all aspects, although it lost more than 6,000 people, they still had more than 10,000 people to fight.
As a result, the 36th Division began to plan to take advantage of the night to sneak attack the position of the 371st Division on the opposite side, at least to recapture the first line of positions, if it could grab some of their weapons and equipment, then it would be better. (To be continued.) )
