Chapter 320: The War of Law and Order (6)

"Don't resist any more! Japan has already lost, so what's the point of you continuing to fight like this?! At this point, there was an eerie calm on the battlefield. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The Resistance on the slopes of the Info hill, having repelled the attacks of the security forces, began to repair the fortifications and transport the wounded. And the security forces at the foot of the mountain were not idle, and many people lay in temporary bunkers and shouted loudly with loudspeakers: "There is no future for continuing to resist the army of the Celestial Empire." Why don't you want to live well? ”

"You damned traitors! Non-nationals! Are you still Japanese? The Japanese resistance on the hillside was no less impressive, and scolded the security forces: "You actually slaughtered your own compatriots for the invaders, you bastards deserve to die!" ”

There was a lot of noise up and down the mountain. Those who accuse the mountain of being traitors and betraying their own country and nation. And Yamashita blamed Yamagami for being a fool, how can the surrender order issued by the emperor himself be called traitors?

And all the Resistance is doing now is dragging those innocent citizens into the abyss. The rest of the region is now settled and ready for a new life. But these resistance forces are not willing to lose, and they use the blood of countless citizens to stain their own **, they are damn bastards.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were hiding in the rear security area watched this scene with great interest, smoking cigarettes and eating chocolate, constantly commenting on the scolding battle between the two sides. Until the commander gave the order to fight again.

It was a tentative attack, a pure infantry assault to lure the enemy to expose points of fire and battle lines. Now that the official attack has begun, the powerful Da Ming has quickly shown his formidable strength. A loud roar of engines was heard in the sky, and the army fighter unit that had made an emergency call had arrived over the battlefield.

"Bump!" The mortars quickly sent several colored flares into the Resistance line, and purple and red smoke flew in the wind.

"Gas bombs!" Some newly enlisted Resistance soldiers collapsed on the ground in horror, scrambling to get gas masks. But soon he will be kicked to the ground by the veterans next to him, "Bastard!" This is a flare, hurry up and hide in the gun hole! ”

The veterans who had exchanged fire with the Ming army many times before were very aware of the Ming Dynasty's combat routines. The Ming army's fighter planes could already be seen in the sky, and these colored smoke on the ground were indicative signals. At this time, what to do is not to get a gas mask, but to quickly hide in the anti-artillery hole.

It's just that the anti-artillery hole is not omnipotent. In order to deal with these ground rats hiding in the mountains, Daming specially added napalm to the fighters responsible for providing fire support. If this kind of thing is still in the mountains, it can immediately ignite a forest fire, and the Japanese army will inevitably be burned alive if they can drill the cave, not to mention that it is still summer. However, this weapon will not be used until it reaches the core area of the Resistance to achieve maximum effect, and the conventional high-explosive shells are still used.

The three dive bombers soon came to the sky above the position, and when they saw the signal flares emitting colored smoke below, they immediately drew a circle in mid-air, and then plunged into the air.

Dive bombers equipped with whistle sirens make very frightening noises when diving at high speeds, which is very stressful for ordinary soldiers, especially new recruits.

When the three dive bombers swooped in at high speed, several Resistance recruits could not bear the tremendous pressure and collapsed instantly, screaming and running around the position. It is no surprise that this kind of person who is looking for death on his own is engulfed by high-explosive bombs, and not even a shadow remains.

After dropping the bombs, the three dive bombers did not waste the opportunity to attack, flying back and forth over the Resistance positions, tilting all the shells in the cannons. The entire defensive position was a mess by these planes.

Less than standard fortifications dug in this relatively soft ground suffered heavy losses from high-explosive shells and machine guns. At least three heavy machine guns were destroyed, and nearly a hundred people were killed or wounded.

Before the resistance troops came to their senses, the artillery of the Ming Dynasty in the distance had already begun to cover with fire. The mountainous area is not conducive to heavy equipment operations, and the Ming army brought in light mountain artillery this time. In particular, light howitzers of 105 mm caliber can be said to have been developed for the purpose of equipping mountain troops.

The mountain troops of the Ming Dynasty were equipped with this kind of weapon. In fact, if the mountain division of the Ming Dynasty were transferred here, it would also be able to effectively deal with these guerrillas, but they had more important combat missions, and it was impossible to waste precious time and combat power here. Anyway, the Japanese security forces have cannon fodder, and they only need to pay some surplus military supplies.

Not only the barreled artillery, but also the artillery artillery equipped with a large number of Ming troops also began to exert their might. A dense rain of bullets smoked and dusted the Resistance's modest positions.

After the suppression of fire, the Japanese security forces struck again. This time it's really moving, a large number of overseers have placed MG42 right behind the attacking security forces, and whoever dares to retreat will inevitably be bulleted. More than 300 soldiers of an entire security army brigade, under the cover of more than a dozen heavy machine guns, pulled out a long line of skirmishers and rushed towards the resistance positions on the hillside.

The tactics of these security forces were very skillful, and they formed small groups of three or five people, and with the help of various terrains, they kept approaching the enemy's positions. There will definitely be no large-scale and dense charges in the drama.

The officers and men of these security forces kept coming forward with cats on their waists, and from time to time they fell to the ground and killed the enemy soldiers on the hillside with accurate shots. At the same time, those elite veterans will use their rich experience to accurately throw the grenadiers in their hands into the defender's position after reaching a certain distance, causing huge damage to the defenders.

Both the attacker and the defender know the opponent very well. In the face of the security attack, the resistance knew very well that the best way was to counter-suppress with machine gun fire and mortars. However, the Resistance was called guerrillas because they lacked regular heavy weapons. The number of heavy machine guns was very small, and the number of artillery guns was only a few. Once the fire is exposed, the target will inevitably be destroyed by the enemy's ferocious artillery fire. They don't have a place to replenish these vital weapons.

The fight between the two sides was very fierce. Most of the veterans on both sides are veterans who have been trained for many years, and if nothing else, the shooting skills are very good. Don't look at the distance, but the accurate shooting has brought huge casualties to both sides. Especially those recruits who do not yet know how to protect themselves on the battlefield, and the main casualties are these people.

"It's too slow!" Colonel Zhao Mingyu, who was supervising the battle in the rear, put down the binoculars in his hand, looked up at the sky, and then said impatiently, "How long is this going to be?" ”

After a pause, Zhao Mingyu turned to look at a respectful-looking lieutenant general of the security army behind him, and said in a deep voice, "General Yamazaki, let your people speed up!" I'm going to get to Jokoji Temple before dark! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." The dark and short Yamazaki Yuzo used to be just a small captain in the old Japanese Army. After the defeat, he joined the security army, but he was directly promoted to the commander of the lieutenant general division of the security army like a rocket! This was something he didn't dare to think about before the defeat. He hadn't been to Lu University.

Lieutenant General Yamazaki has a total of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, which is definitely second to none in the Japanese security forces. That's why his troops were appointed to take the lead.

"First Wing, all attack!" After arriving at the front line, Yuzo Yamazaki drew his saber and shouted loudly to order his men to fight.

The First Wing had nearly 800 people, and in addition to the more than 300 people who had already been put into the battlefield, the rest of the people were also driven into the battlefield under the orders of Yamazaki Yuzo.

In fact, the area of this battlefield is not very large. Excessive accumulation of troops will lead to the failure of the troops to perform and cause huge casualties. However, the last thing that Japan lacks now is people who can be recruited with a few pieces of field military rations and a few canned food.

How could Yuzo Yamazaki, who didn't want to lose face in front of the master of Daming and lose everything he had now, care about the lives and losses of his subordinates? Anyway, the Japanese officers didn't care much about the casualties of ordinary soldiers during the war.

The offensive of hundreds of security forces resulted in heavy casualties among the resistance troops stationed on the hillside. The main casualties came from the veterans' accurate fire and grenadier attacks, as well as the Ming artillerymen's unsparing throwing of shells.

Originally, the guerrillas were supposed to adopt hit-and-run tactics and deal with powerful enemy forces. For example, this kind of positional warfare is completely an act of seeking death by playing up shortcomings and avoiding strengths. It's just that Kuribayashi Tadamichi, who commanded the battle here, had no way to retreat.

This is the best place to resist the Ming army attacking from the area around Kofu. The mountain roads are narrow, and the mountains are high and densely forested, which is very suitable for ambush operations. Once here, you'll find the Matsumoto Valley Plain.

Now the Matsumoto Valley is harvesting grain, and if it is lost, someone opens a passage into the valley, and the loss will be lost.

In desperation, Kuribayashi Tadamichi could only choose to die hard. As for casualties, there are still a lot of mountain people in the mountains, and as long as they have food in their hands, there is no problem with how many people they want to recruit.

"Transfer the reserves!" Seeing that the casualties of his subordinates were getting bigger and bigger, Kuribayashi Tadamichi, with a gloomy face, ordered the reserve force to be mobilized as a rear hand to supplement the position. The mortars, which had been unable to fire all along, also began to fire rapidly, destroying the grenadiers and heavy machine guns of the security forces. He's going to hold out until dark anyway.

Because the Ming army had too much heavy equipment and extremely strong firepower, the Ming army always liked to destroy the enemy with superior firepower during the day, and they did not like night battles very much. As long as they can hold out until dark, the Ming army will definitely not continue to attack, and it will be able to buy the troops in the valley to harvest food for a night. (To be continued.) )
