Chapter 548: Death Must Be Delayed

After the gunshots, the Japanese army finally fled the hill without even the next one. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because throughout the battle, the Japanese soldiers who were ready to fight almost never fired. Therefore, the attacking Liaodong Army suffered almost no casualties.

After figuring out what was happening on the hill from the mouth of the rout, the chief of staff of the Japanese army was directly silent.

After a few minutes of hesitation, he directly issued an order that was difficult for even him to accept, and that violated the infantry drill code.

"Don't return all the rifle bullets before stabbing, learn from the Liaodong Army, shoot at the Liaodong Army before stabbing, and shoot the enemy with a large number of bullets!"

It was difficult for ordinary Japanese soldiers to accept this order, which violated the infantry drill code.

But when they heard that the Liaodong Army did just that, and used this way to kill and injure them in large numbers before stabbing them. No matter how unwilling the ordinary Japanese soldiers were to accept this order, they finally accepted the order.

After seeing the changes in the Japanese army, Sun Liechen also immediately adjusted the way of attack!

After the troops rushed to the hill where the Japanese were trapped, they threw several rounds of grenades, regardless of whether the Japanese troops came out of the defensive artillery holes or not.

In this way, when the Japanese troops came out of the defensive artillery holes, their vision would be obscured by the smoke of grenades, and the bullets in the counterattack would be greatly reduced because they were not accurate.

However, the sight of their own troops was not affected, and the bullets fired from rifles, light machine guns, and pistols were specially greeted to places where there were many Japanese soldiers.

Sun Liechen fought wits and courage with the chief of staff of the Japanese army, and used his limited strength to consume a large number of Japanese troops.

Relying on the fact that the Japanese army had no heavy artillery, Li Zhilong, under the cover of a heavy artillery regiment of the heavy artillery division, ate a main battalion of the Russian army today and a main regiment of the Russian army tomorrow.

And the marriage caused by this is that although the Russian army still has nearly 40,000 elites, it does not dare to divide its troops under Li Zhilong's watchful eyes. can only hug together and slowly attack and advance in the direction of Anshan.

Because, the Russian army does not know when it will inexplicably lose a non-corps after it divides its troops.

Continuing according to this style of play, Li Zhilong is confident that there will be no problem at all in dragging tens of thousands of Russian troops in Anshan.

But just when Li Zhilong was full of confidence, an accident happened.

The Japanese army, which had been advancing in the direction of Anshan, immediately turned around and attacked in the direction of Liaoyang, and the speed of the attack was still very fast.

"There must be something wrong with the Japanese army in the direction of Liaoyang, they are going to reinforce!" As soon as Li Zhilong received a report from his subordinates, he made a judgment.

"Division commander, no matter what happens in the direction of Liaoyang, we can't let these tens of thousands of Japanese troops make trouble for the commander!" The chief of staff reminded with a frown!

Li Zhilong's face also became serious, and after thinking about it, he ordered: "The regiment will set off immediately, advance lightly, and rush to the front of the Japanese army to block them for an hour!" ”

"The cavalry reconnaissance company immediately set out, notified all the garrisons along the way, evacuated all civilians on both sides of the official road, and destroyed all the official roads that the Japanese army must pass."

"The other troops, under my personal command, set off immediately, use the hour that the regiment bought for us, catch up with the Japanese army, continue to drag them here, and must not let them rush to Liaoyang."

It took only an hour for the well-ridden Japanese to catch up with the Japanese and block them in front of them.

Because of the urgency of time, there was no time to repair the fortifications, and a regiment of less than 2,000 people directly used a natural mountain beam as a fortification, set up light and heavy machine guns, and fired at the vanguard of the Japanese army.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front squad were swept to the ground by dozens of light and heavy machine guns before they could react.

"Yaga! The Liaodong Army rushed to rush ahead of us! They must be defeated immediately and the passage must be opened for the main force, or all of us will die! The captain of the avant-garde brigade was shocked when he saw that his squad was eaten in the blink of an eye, and immediately made a judgment based on the situation on the scene.

Immediately, a large group of Japanese troops appeared in front of a regiment of positions.

More than a dozen heavy machine guns lined up and began to strafe at the mountain beams. Subsequently, more than three squadrons of Japanese troops rushed up in a straggler line.

The captain, who knew that time was pressing, in order not to delay time, broke the Liaodong Army's resistance at one time. At one time, he pressed all the strength of one of his own brigades.

On a frontal battlefield against a wing of the Japanese army, a group without heavy weapons may still be under a lot of pressure, or even an opponent.

But in the face of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, the first regiment was still confident.

As soon as a dozen Japanese heavy machine guns fired, a group of condescending heavy machine gunners also fired.

With the superiority of numbers and terrain, a regiment knocked all the Japanese heavy machine guns into silence at once.

At this time, light machine guns and rifles were also fired, although the Japanese responded with a loose line of skirmishers. After a round of bullet rain, the Japanese troops were still swept to the ground in pieces.

Soon, the infantry brigade retreated, losing less than two squadrons.

Although the captain was well aware of the importance of time to the main force of the division, he understood a truth even better, when the heavy machine guns were almost completely suppressed, relying only on the infantry to attack, that was no different from sending them to death.

Therefore, even if he does not give the order to retreat, even if his own brigade is all gone, it will not be able to rush in front of the Liaodong Army.

Soon, the main forces of the divisions in the rear were reported by the avant-garde brigade.

Without saying a word, the division commander immediately ordered dozens of field guns advancing with the team to build artillery positions on the spot. A wing of infantry also immediately set off to reinforce the avant-garde brigade.

While the reinforcements were still on the way, dozens of field guns were fired.

Dozens of field artillery shells with a screeching sound, as if they had eyes, most of them smashed on the mountain beam and exploded.

Soon, the low mountain beams were enveloped in gunsmoke and the sound of explosions.

The heavy artillery fire took more than a hundred lives of the entire regiment at once, and there was not even a bunker to hide on the bare mountain beams.

The commander of the regiment, who knew that this was not the way to go on at all, left a company to use the shell crater as a cover and continued to hold out, while all the other troops retreated behind the mountain beam.

After the artillery bombardment, when the Japanese attacking troops quickly attacked the mountain beam, the regiment hidden behind the mountain beam also desperately rushed up.

At this time, a company left behind in the mountain beam had to bear very great pressure.

Because, in the shelling just now, even if they were all hidden in the crater, the shelling lasted for ten minutes, and they still lost more than half of it.

In addition, the Japanese attacking troops were covered by dozens of heavy machine guns as soon as they came up, and the only two heavy machine guns of the defenders were also destroyed in the shelling just now, leaving only three light machine guns to use.

In the absence of sufficient counter-firepower, it is not necessary to shoot and not even have a chance to raise the head.

However, in order to buy time for the main forces of the regiment, let them rush up the mountain in front of the Japanese army.

Even if they knew that they were dead when they raised their heads, these people did not want to shoot with their lives, and stopped the Japanese army in the way of one life for one life, so as to buy time for the main force of the regiment. (To be continued.) )
