Chapter 32: Night Raid

The Japanese offensive on the front did not go well, not only did it not go well, but it can even be described as heavy losses. In just half a day's attack, www.biquge.info more than 2,000 casualties were inflicted, which was more than all the casualties before this battle combined. The technical and tactical level of the Japanese army is high, but under the bombardment of artillery, there is no difference.

"How long will it be before the artillery behind us catches up?" Kuroki stayed in the headquarters of the front line for a while, and suddenly said: "Let the artillery regiment only carry five shells per cannon, and rush over before dawn tomorrow!" ”

"This .....," a staff officer felt a little inappropriate, "isn't it too little for a cannon to carry only five shells?" And even if you travel overnight, it's hard to ..... before dawn."

"Send more men," Kuroki turned around and stared at the staff officer, "If you can't arrive before dawn, the officer leading the team will be court-martial!" ”

The staff officer listened to this ridiculous order, opened his mouth, and could not say a word, but cold sweat was already on his forehead. According to reason, Kuroki is not qualified to say any nonsense about military law at all, even if there is any problem with officers and soldiers, it will have to be tried by a military court, why does Kuroki say that military law is engaged in military law?

But he didn't dare say that to Kuroki. Kuroki Weizhen is not a person who likes to reason with others, with his qualifications and status, even if he shoots a few officers, what can he do? And the Japanese are somewhat perverted.,Most of them have some M tendencies.,It's just that you need a guy similar to the big demon king to cover your head to be comfortable.。

The staff officer saw Kuroki Weizhen's face, and reluctantly passed the order.

It was already getting dark, and the Japanese who had been attacking in small numbers began to retreat. The sound of rifle fire, the roar of cannons, and the continuous fire of heavy machine guns were all heard, and it seemed that today's battle was coming to an end.

However, this is only a façade. On the sortie position, which had only been dug up not long ago, Japanese soldiers were densely packed together, holding rifles with bayonets in their hands and three or four grenades stuck in their waists, waiting for the order to attack.

Kuroki Weizhen, who hastily used dinner, refused the teacup handed by the orderlies, and asked in a deep voice, "Have the soldiers all used dinner?" ”

"Yes, General. The rice balls have been distributed, and each person has a bowl of miso soup. ”

"Now that we've had dinner, let's get started."

"Hey!"

The order was conveyed one level at a time, and all the Japanese soldiers climbed out of the trench after receiving the order, and felt towards the defense line of Song Biao's department. They had been trained for night combat for a long time, and everything now was not much different from their usual training.

In the afternoon firefight, the Japanese had figured out the firepower configuration and deployment of the defenders, and now they were able to make a targeted attack on it. After feeling into the trench and a series of muffled sounds, someone finally found the Japanese soldiers who had already killed them.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" One of the defenders shouted and fired warning shots.

"The little devil is coming!"

All sorts of shouts rang out from the position, gunfire rang out, but it was too late. The Japanese soldiers had already rushed up to the first trench and rushed towards the second.

The white-knuckle warfare in the era of hot weapons has high requirements for organization and morale, and the organization and morale required for night battles are even higher. When people are in the dark, it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and the result of indiscriminate killing is that the number of enemies killed is about the same as that of one's own people.

Therefore, since ancient times, the number of troops engaged in night battles will not be too large, but a small but elite unit will be selected. But the Japanese army did the opposite, sending an entire brigade to carry out a night attack. Such a large-scale gesture is also rare in the entire history of the Japanese army.

Now that it had been discovered, the Japanese army was no longer silent, and rushed in with a loud shout. Although the defenders were equally brave, under the organized attack, they were scattered by the impact, and the frontmost front line was lost in an instant. The defenders also lost most of their money, and the rest had to retreat to the rear front.

Kuroki Weizhen looked at the battle situation in the distance with binoculars, and saw his own soldiers rushing in, but there was no joy on his face, but the staff officers on the side couldn't help cheering. He looked at the officers in the headquarters with serious eyes, and scolded: "The victory or defeat has not yet been decided, what are your names!" ”

"But......." said one of the officers puzzled, "our soldiers have already rushed forward, and the enemy can only be defeated, is this not a victory?" ”

Kuroki sneered, glanced left and right at the officers in the headquarters, and said in a deep voice: "Until the end, who knows which side of victory it is?" ”

The officers looked at each other, wondering what was going on in their boss's madness. Kuroki Weizhen saw the expressions on their faces, and was very disappointed in these juniors. After all, these people are still too young to have fought any bitter battles. Even if you have some combat experience, the only major battle you have participated in is the Sino-Japanese War a long time ago.

It's like annotating Kuroki Weizhen's words, and the one-sided situation on the battlefield suddenly changes drastically. The oil in dozens of large iron pots was suddenly ignited, and the bright light of the fire illuminated the open space between the two trenches as bright as day. The sound of heavy machine gun fire and the roar of heavy artillery rang out, and the Japanese soldiers were laid down like rice.

"VIII.... Yaga! In the rear headquarters, those officers were stunned by this sudden change, and only after a while did they scold out violently, "Obviously they are still fighting together, but these people actually opened fire regardless of it?" ”

"Well, that Chinese Song Biao is also a decisive person." Kuroki Weizhen is relieved. What people are most afraid of is the unknown, and now that the enemy's backhand has come out, there is nothing to fear. Even if the casualties are larger, what does it matter? As long as the final victory can be achieved, it is worth half of the casualties.

Moreover, he believed that his soldiers would be able to cope with such a situation. It's not that such a situation is not taken into account when training. In many trainings, those low-ranking officers already know how to deal with such a situation, although this time the situation is a little too big.

Pieces of Japanese soldiers were hit, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers only stayed for a moment, and then scattered according to the drill, either prostrate on the ground or hide behind cover. (To be continued.) )
