Chapter 55, Residency

"You kid, you can't do it!" Wang Tongzhang looked at the head of the three regiments in front of him and said with appreciation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Haha, it's nothing, the weapon is just a little more powerful than the little devil." The third head touched his head and grinned to reveal his big white teeth.

"Okay, you're still humble." Wang Tongzhang pretended to be surprised.

"I've always been humble!" The third regiment commander immediately refuted.

"Okay, I don't know about you yet, I'll give you another idea." Wang Tongzhang said.

"What task? Leave it to me. The third head patted his chest, proud and ambitious.

"Please take someone to clean up this place! Are you too many grenades to use? Isn't it okay to fry the devil like meat sauce and leave the corpse intact? How do you clean it like this? I suppose you've fried them all into pâté, so you're going to have a way to clean them up, so I'm going to bother you. Wang Tongzhang stared at the third head of the regiment and said with a smile.

"I..." The third head wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wang Tongzhang.

"Don't say anything, clean up slowly, and don't leave me a drop of blood." After speaking, Wang Tongzhang took people away.

Watching Wang Tongzhang leave, the third regiment commander squatted on the ground with some annoyance, and then saw a shattered Japanese corpse that was blown up next to him, stepped on his feet fiercely, and scolded in his mouth, "Made, it's you, what kind of battle do you fight, how good it is to hold your wife and children at home~~"

The town has been taken, but the situation in the town is a little weird, and the inhabitants seem to be afraid of them.

Wang Tongzhang is a little strange, why should these people be afraid of themselves, they are not Japanese soldiers, and they will not come to burn, kill and loot, and so on.

Thinking of this, Wang Tongzhang suddenly reacted, it is estimated that these people will also be killed by the Japanese army on the spot, anyway, they are all Asian faces, and it is difficult to distinguish them if they are not carefully distinguished.

Moreover, there were no ordinary people present in the battle that took place in the barracks, and no one knew that they were here to deal with the Japanese army.

So now, the first thing Wang Tongzhang did was to wash himself and tell them that he was here to help them fight the Japanese army, which was better for some local Chinese, who had lived together for a long time, and compared to outsiders like himself, they were more credible to each other.

It's also easy to do, find those Chinese Americans, explain things clearly to them, and give them a little hard money, and then no one cares about them, of course, no one dares to care about them.

The 101st Division settled in the small town of Ellis Springs, and the battle in Brisbane was still fierce, with the Japanese army supported by aircraft during the day, and the offensive momentum was sharp. But at night, under the cover of night, the Brisbane defenders were able to regain their lost positions during the day, and the two sides were in such a stalemate.

Every day, on this part of the war, groups of people die, killed by bullets, killed by shells, or accidentally wounded by allies, and there are all kinds of ways to die anyway.

The Japanese army lost a lot of numbers, ten divisions, nearly 200,000 people, in just a few days, more than 30,000 losses, most of them were killed by flying bullets, the most normal way to die. After all, the 41st Group Army is powerful in firepower.

The casualties of the ten divisions of the defenders were not light, they were smaller than those of the Japanese army, more than 20,000, all of which were bombed by artillery shells or headshots by the Japanese army. Because the main thing is that the protection is relatively good, it can be a good defense against stray bullets.

After the 101st Division went down to the town, Brisbane looked bad, the Japanese planes strafed at low altitudes, dropped bombs, and brought a lot of casualties to the defenders, but no one was afraid, and the fighting in these two days was enough to transform a recruit into a veteran.

The Japanese originally attacked Brisbane with ten divisions in an attempt to disperse the defenders' defenses, and then concentrate their forces to break through in the weak places.

The division that had reached Brisbane first found a weak point and was ready to break through, but it was blocked, and then other divisions that broke through the line came to support, and the result was more and more fighting.

The defenders also kept increasing their troops to the position, blocking the Japanese prospects, and then the two sides fought a refueling war, constantly adding troops to the inside, and as a result, all the forces were united to fight a large battle.

It's also that the bombers are not here, otherwise if the Japanese play like this, they will definitely blow up clean.

More than 20 kilometers outside Brisbane is the battlefield of the two sides, which is full of trenches, channels, barbed wire, and on both sides of the position, the two sides of the battle.

Led by Zhang Jingren, with ten divisions, he fought with the Japanese army.

On the position, the continuous sound of gunfire was incessant and deafening.

Because the firepower was not comparable, the Japanese troops who were still holding the 38 big cover were beaten into a plug sieve by machine guns before they rushed in front of the defenders.

In particular, the M2 heavy machine gun, with 12.7mm bullets, can beat the Japanese army into a pile of minced meat with just a few rounds.

However, this did not stop the Japanese army from being followed, and the Japanese army still rushed forward desperately, and then was killed again. The people in the back did not have a trace of fluctuation in their hearts about the situation of the people in front being killed.

"Buzz~"

The nasty sound of the propeller engine is coming again, and it is still a Japanese plane, loaded with bombs, ready to drop bombs on the ground.

Although there were also anti-aircraft weapons deployed, but the number was insufficient, in the face of the fly-like Japanese planes, relying only on some quadruple machine guns and a dozen 88 anti-aircraft guns, there was no effect, and they could occasionally shoot down a few, so that the Japanese did not dare to strafe at low altitudes.

The defenders used automatic firepower, so that the Japanese planes did not dare to fly at low altitudes, and many Japanese pilots did not know, so they flew the planes over the heads of the team at low altitudes, and the results were self-evident, and they were set on fire by the army below with automatic weapons. Originally, the Japanese planes were notoriously thin-skinned, and they could be directly exploded if they burst into flames, so after several intensive trainings, the Japanese planes did not dare to bomb or strafe at low altitudes.

The Japanese planes bombed again, and the defenders had no good protective measures, so they could only retreat into the bomb shelter to minimize casualties.

When the planes bombed, the Japanese infantry was also assembling and preparing to charge, and as soon as the bombing was over, they would immediately launch a charge, and then try to mix with the other side in close combat.

In this regard, the Japanese army was very superior, so the Japanese army looked for an opportunity to fight hand-to-hand combat.

Large-scale melee combat, for the 41st Group Army, is not a small restriction, only daggers, sapper shovels and other melee weapons can be used, pistols must be used sparingly, because it is easy to be injured by mistake.

When the Japanese army was fighting with bayonets, they also had to lock the safety of the 38 big cover, just like the action of returning the bullet, mainly to prevent accidental injury when they hit the trigger and fired. (To be continued.) )
