Chapter 273: Battle of Songhu (11)
As Su Tong said, at this time, the positions of the 377th and 378th Wings had been bombed to pieces, and many officers and soldiers on the purgatory-like positions were mostly lying in pools of blood, struggling and squirming painfully in the impenetrable rain of bullets, and even if their mother came, they probably couldn't recognize them.
For Hasegawa, the captain of the 377 Wing, everything he experienced today was like a nightmare. This is a situation that he has never learned at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and which his teachers have never encountered, for the Japanese Army, which advocates "offense" and advocates that "the best defense is offense," they have never learned or defended.
Yes, the Japanese Army has never conducted any defensive operations since its creation, from the First Sino-Japanese War, to the Russo-Japanese War, and now to the current war of aggression against China, the Japanese have always played the role of attackers. The word defense has always been insulated from the Japanese.
Now, as the military commander of a force, Hasegawa's priority is how to save his life and that of his soldiers under such intense and ferocious artillery fire. The improvised fortifications here were so sloppy that they were defensive positions rather than starting positions, and neither Hasegawa nor any Japanese soldier was thinking about how to attack the positions on the opposite side of Shina rather than stay here and suffer their fat beatings.
Hasegawa asked, glancing at the chief of staff of the wing who had just run over. "Has the Shina army attacked?"
"Not yet! It seems that they did not want to solve the battle with rifles, but wanted to bury us completely with artillery fire! ”
The tired, dusty chief of staff had a bleak smile on his face. It is not necessary to say that the artillery skills of the Zhina Army are far more skilled than those of the Imperial Army, but their artillery fire always seems to have eyes to rain the densest bullets on the position of the wing, and after more than ten minutes of devastating blows, the loss of the strength of the 377th Wing has exceeded forty percent, and the chief of staff shuddered and did not dare to think about it anymore.
"If Amaterasu abandons us, then let's all break it!"
Hasegawa's tone was obviously a little decadent, the moment the shelling began, the telephone line was blown up, the 377 Wing had lost contact with the division headquarters, maybe it was a good choice for all of them to be broken, Nakamura was very curious to know when the people of China would attack, so his troops could pull a few cushions.
What has become of the 377 Wing, which used to be majestic and majestic in his own eyes, at this time? When the soldiers of the branch rushed up in formation, what resistance did these remnants of the 377th Wing, who could not even hold their guns, rely on their teeth and fists?
Defeat may have been doomed from the moment the first shell fell!
The thunderous sound of artillery broke the silence of the afternoon, and Baoshan, which was quiet dozens of minutes ago, was completely shrouded in the thick and pungent smell of gunsmoke, and the bomb trenches that were blown up were full of the wreckage of Japanese soldiers, and countless stumps and broken arms flew into the air again and again but fell again and again, and then turned into more fragments and were thrown into the air again and again, and the bloody corpses dotted the land of Baoshan.
"Whew"
Xiǎoye, who was lying dead in the trenches, opened his mouth wide, breathing with all his might, his ears were bloodshot by the dense cannonballs, and the earth where his body was clinging to it also trembled rapidly in the violent explosion, constantly splashing pieces of bloody fragments around Xiǎoye, if you don't know what hell is, xiǎono can tell you for sure that the place where I am staying now is hell.
"When will the shelling of the people of China stop!"
No one can tell him this answer, in fact, xiǎo Ye is the luckiest person in his xiǎo team, and the rest of the xiǎo team has already been broken.
"Ah......h
At this moment, Xiǎo Ye felt that the shelling seemed to be sparse, and the density of the shells was not as dense as it was just now, could it be that this nightmare was about to stop? Lying on the ground, he wanted to grab the gun, as a veteran, he knew very well that the sparse sound of the cannon meant that the infantry of China would soon charge, but he reached out and grabbed the air, turned his head to look at the side, and he didn't know when a crater appeared in the place where the gun was put just now.
Gun! I don't know where it was bombed.
Outside two miles away from the Baoshan defense line, Zhou Zhen stood in the turret of the 'Northwest Tiger' tank, revealing half of his body, looking at the infantry around him with an angry look. Since coming to the Songhu battlefield, his armored regiment has not shown his face? All the good things were snatched away by the infantry, and this time it was finally his turn to take the lead in the **** regiment, which gave him an urge to vent.
Zhou Zhen grabbed the microphone and ordered loudly: "Armored regiment, attack!" ”
With Zhou Zhen's order, the 'Northwest Tigers', who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, increased their horsepower, and with the green smoke and intensified roar from the tail exhaust pipe, more than sixty steel giant beasts rushed forward with a rumbling sound.
Captain Miura, who was lying in the trench, immediately understood that the Shina were going to attack as soon as the barrage became sparse.
Miura looked around, and in the nearby bombed-out trenches, in addition to the shivering soldiers crawling on the ground, there were more blood-red limb fragments, although Captain Miura usually prides himself on bravery, but he has never encountered such ferocious artillery fire as today.
Could it be that Amaterasu really abandoned Japan? Miura shook his head violently, no, this is just a test of xiǎoxiǎo, the imperial army will definitely conquer the entire China and win space for the people of the empire to survive.
Miura took a breath, looked at the soldier next to him, and ordered loudly: "Harada Juncao, Harada Juncao, you immediately lead a xiǎo team to reinforce the Shangyuan xiǎo team!" The people of China are coming! ”
With Captain Miura's order, the dozens of soldiers who were still lying dead in the trench just now immediately rushed along the blown trench in another direction under the leadership of a short and sturdy military cao, completely ignoring the continuous falling shells overhead, those dense bullets and the casualties of their companions did not let them collapse, but instead stimulated the beast xìng in their hearts.
When Harada and his Xiǎo team braved artillery fire to the position of the Shangyuan Xiǎo team on the other side, Shangyuan Juncao was still hiding in a trench with several of his soldiers to avoid the artillery fire.
"Shangyuan-kun, I'm here to support you."
Harada's voice was loud, at least not drowned out by the loud sound of artillery fire.
Shangyuan Jun Cao glanced at Harada and the soldiers he brought, and a smile appeared on his pale face, "Harada-kun, after all, you haven't forgotten my fellow countryman, and you still remember to support me." ”
"Aha, of course." Harada looked around at Shangyuan Jun Cao and asked, "Shangyuan-kun, what about the rest of your Xiǎo team?" Did they all go to the back? ”
Shangyuan Jun Cao smiled miserably and pointed at himself and the six soldiers around him, "My xiǎo team is here, and the rest are here,"
Harada grinned and tried to say something, but swallowed the words in the end.
At this moment, Harada seemed to feel the earth begin to tremble, and this regular tremor intensified, and from here, there were bursts of harsh metal friction and the roar of engines on the battlefield filled with gunpowder in the distance, and the soil that had been loosened on the trenches began to shake down continuously.
Through the thick smoke of gunpowder, Harada saw what he usually liked very much, but now he least wanted to see. They let out a piercing roar and scream, and rumbled towards the position.
"Chariots!" Harada's mouth spat out a word that was now terrifying to them.
Harada is no stranger to chariots, their wing has also conducted joint military exercises with the Independent Chariot Brigade, and he was proud that his empire has such an advanced steel behemoth. But now, as soon as he saw the chariot rushing from the front, he suddenly realized that what he was once proud of was a xiǎo douding compared to others.
At this time, Harada watched the soldiers around him shoot at the tanks of the China people at a distance of more than 600 meters, using the Type 38 rifle machine gun and the Type 92 heavy machine gun in vain, and the dense bullets continued to hit the tanks of the Shina Army, but at best, it only made some noise, and it was impossible to stop their advance at all. The ferocious beasts were still smoking and rumbling at them.
And behind them, there was a group of cat-slung infantry who followed the tanks and constantly fired at their positions.
"Damn, how can the people of China have chariots, and the caliber of the artillery is still so large, it should be a hundred calibers." Shang Yuan smashed his fist into the earthen wall in front of him, and the soft dirt fell down with a pop.
Kamito raised his head violently and said to Harada with a miserable smile: "Harada-kun, I'm really sorry, I have caused you to be a burden, if I hadn't come to support me, you wouldn't have faced these chariots with me." ”
"Phew, what did you say, Shangyuan, have you forgotten the oath we made together when we came? Are we going to conquer China together and conquer all the people here? Harada said indifferently.
"Well, instead of waiting here for those chariots to crush us to pieces, let's make a decisive charge together." Shangyuan laughed.
"Hey! Let's charge together! Harada bowed to the soldiers around him.
"Hey!"
The soldiers also shouted feverishly!
"Onboard!"
In the charging tank group, Zhou Zhen, who was sitting in the tank, saw dozens of Japanese soldiers rushing towards his tank group with rifles loaded with bayonets in front of him, and hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone Xiǎo heart Japanese bombs, machine guns sweep shè, dense shè ......"
"Da-da-da-da
