552: Japanese Stubborn Resistance

"Battalion commander, there seems to be a boat leaving on the dock. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 From a distance, Chen Peng could see wisps of black smoke floating over the wharf, which was no stranger to any Marine soldier.

"If you want to run, you can run, our two-legged ones can't catch up with them, let's take the dock first." Jin Dadi responded with some disdain, even if he knew that the other party was going to run, what could he do? He still has a way to deal with the Japanese army on land, but he can deal with the ships? Forget it.

But it seems that you can't just let each other go, what if there is something special for the Japanese? "Send a message to the fleet and let them see and deal with it themselves."

Well, what you can't do by yourself, you must throw it to other people, Jin Dadi is in pain at this time, as the first unit to land in Taiwan, his first battalion can be described as a heavy loss, the original full force of 747 people, now there are only nearly 500 people left, and there is not much ammunition on his body, if he didn't ask for some ammunition from the second battalion, Jin Dadi really wouldn't dare to go deep alone.

Kaohsiung Port has a complete fortification, and the scale of the defense here is even greater than the two positions arranged by the Japanese army on the beach.

The concrete structure tower type machine gun pillbox, about six or seven meters high, two machine guns do not know on it, almost can cover the firing range of 360 degrees, but because the rear is a port, basically do not need to defend often, so the two machine guns are dislocated up and down layout, but the two machine guns are the entire front to the angle of the seal, with a large number of rifle shooting holes, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hedgehog covered in thorns.

There were four such machine-gun bunkers, distributed throughout the perimeter of the port, and each of them was about six or seven hundred meters apart, and in the middle was some fence made of trees, and the top of the wall was covered with thorns.

But that is only a means to deal with the Taiwanese, on this line of defense, except for the four pillboxes that pose some threat to the marines, the wooden wall and the dense thorns on it have no effect at all, a mortar shell can solve the problem in the past, no matter how bad it is, there are detonators, and it is not a problem to safely cross this wall.

But the most difficult thing is the concrete structure of the machine gun bunker, this kind of bunker is extremely difficult to deal with, the mortar can at most play a role in suppressing its fire, and the effect is still very poor, if the opponent adds steel and other materials inside, then it is basically equal to invincibility.

Unless they can pull in infantry guns with larger calibers, it is undoubtedly impossible to knock out these machine-gun bunkers by mortars alone.

And one pillbox is simple, assuming that the difficulty is one, then the difficulty of two pillboxes will directly increase to ten, and the difficulty of four pillboxes will be at least eighty or more, and the horror of crossfire has long been experienced by the Russians.

"Try it with mortar bombardment, and the machine gun crew pays attention to fire suppression." Jin Dadi ordered to the troops beside him.

Encountering such a superb line of defense, Jin Dadi was also a little speechless, headache, and even helpless. This is also the first time that Jin Dadi has felt a bit tricky since joining the army, because the intelligence did not say that there are four concrete machine gun bunkers here, and if he knew this news, he would have to pull a cannon over.

Well, in fact, the Marine Corps is not equipped with any artillery at all, yes, there is no artillery at all. The important thing is said twice more, the Marine Corps is not equipped with artillery.

If they need artillery support, then they can directly call for naval artillery support, saying that they are not equipped with artillery, but their artillery support is the most awesome.

A few mortar shells passed, only one fell on the top of the bunker, with the sound of explosions, bursts of dust rose above the bunker, mixed with some broken stone bricks or something, the scene was very shocking, but the opposite Jin Dadi couldn't be happy, because this cannon in addition to making a satisfactory momentum, in fact, it didn't play any role, according to this level of fighting, I don't know if ten shells can kill the upper part of the bunker?

There are fixed defensive forces at the docks, but the number of troops guarding the docks is not large, and troops stationed nearby are needed to come over to assist in the defense, but the firepower of the troops stationed at the docks is very strong, at least compared to ordinary armies, no one can beat them in terms of firepower.

There are eight Makqin heavy machine guns in the four towers, and there are six heavy machine guns scattered in various areas below to make up for the blind spots in the towers' firepower, plus the defensive strength of the two squadrons here, and the 300 people who came after the 71st Wing, so there are still seven or eight hundred people defending at the Kaohsiung Pier at this moment.

Although the battle line is very long, but the firepower is very fierce, before knocking out the opponent's machine gun bunker, Jin Dadi does not dare to easily order an attack, if it is not good, his battalion may become the first unit to be completely annihilated, he is not willing to do such a shameful thing, who loves to be in the limelight who goes out.

But then again, even if there is no way, this battle still has to be fucking fought, and the longer it drags on, the less chance there is to win a complete dock, and if they can't get a complete dock, then what are they doing here?

"Sniper, go and kill the little devil's machine gunner for Lao Tzu, mortar fire suppression, and the rest are ready to charge." Jin Dadi tangledly commanded.

This is no way, if you can't knock out the enemy's bunker, then you can only find a way to kill the enemy inside, fortunately they have enough snipers, although the speed will be a little slower, but it's better than no way, as for the casualties that may make him heartache, forget it, I still don't want to.

The muzzle of the pillbox machine gun is only about thirty meters wide, about twenty centimeters high, and the machine gun occupies almost one-third of the space, leaving enough space for a grenade to enter steadily, but in fact it is far from being as simple as imagined, if everything can be solved theoretically, then this battle will not be so difficult to fight.

In a short time, the snipers began to attack, the mortars began to suppress the fire, and the demoman placed the detonator under the wooden fence, pulled the fuse, and with a violent explosion, the wooden fence collapsed and ignited a raging fire.

Immediately afterwards, the infantry began to charge, and rushed into the harbor along the blown up, and as soon as the front appeared, the machine guns in the bunker sent a volley of bullets, and the five soldiers who rushed to the front fell three in an instant.

And more machine guns began to aim their guns at the empty space, and the two soldiers who had just rushed over could only lie on the ground, moving their bodies carefully. It was about six or seven hundred meters away from the bunker, and their weapons could not pose any threat to the enemy at all, and even aiming was a problem.

As the Japanese fire suppressed, the gap was instantly filled with dirt, and the soldiers behind could not pass through the gap at all, but the soldiers who were going to rush over were also shot.

In the past, this situation was all against the enemy, but now the battlefield is suddenly reversed, which makes everyone feel extremely uncomfortable. But there is nothing that can be done about it.

"Fried! Keep blowing up Lao Tzu! Blow up a few more paragraphs to distract the little devils. Seeing the soldiers fall one after another, Jin Dadi's eyes were red and he roared. If he continues to fight like this, his battalion will be gone.

And this is the first line of defense, and I don't know how many little devils there are in the back, if there are heavy losses in this line of defense, don't think about completing the tasks behind.

The wooden walls fell one after another, and the Japanese machine-gun fire began to gradually disperse, with the help of this gap, more and more soldiers rushed into the wall, but the Japanese firepower still had a greater threat to them.

And the effect of the sniper to kill the enemy machine gunner is not ideal, although the sniper has worked hard and killed several machine gunners, but the fire point that originally disappeared will be powerful again after only a few seconds, and the situation that should have been in favor of the first battalion has become a helper for the Japanese because the fire point has paused for a few seconds.

As soon as the firepower point stopped, some soldiers quickly stood up and rushed forward, and at this time they were completely exposed to the enemy's firepower.

The Marines did not encounter any decent resistance when they landed, but they encountered such strong resistance on the Kaohsiung wharf, and the previous indulgence of the mind also prevented the 1st Battalion from being able to take the Japanese troops in the port seriously, because of carelessness, when they rushed through the wooden wall, the 1st Battalion had already gained dozens of casualties.

And this is only the beginning, after crossing the wooden wall, there is still six or seven hundred meters of open area waiting for them to cross, and there, it will be a key area for the casualties of the first battalion, as long as the Japanese fire points are not knocked out, if the luck is bad, maybe the first battalion will not be able to cross this area at all.

"Withdraw! Take them all down! Seeing this, Jin Dadi could only order a retreat, he did not dare to order a strong attack, because this was a suicide attack, just like the Japanese army had suicidal assault on them before, and the result would be very miserable.

The attack was blocked, and this should have been the first encounter of the Marine Corps after landing on Taiwan, and what is even more ironic is that as the first unit to land on Taiwan, it did not encounter such a situation when it landed, but became the first unit to enjoy this kind of treatment in the subsequent operations.

There is no doubt that the first battalion no longer has the ability to rush in, and they are left with only two options, either wait for reinforcements and rush together, or call in the fleet for support. (To be continued.) )
