Volume 3, Who Lords the Ups and Downs, Chapter 216

Li Hongbing led well, the firepower cover organization was in place during the attack, and the soldiers did not look very brave, but the movements were concise and practical, and they did not look fast, but in fact, the effect of advancing was very good. The special operations division is not equipped with Makqin, that thing is too heavy, and it is not a dish for troops like the special operations division. Li Hong concentrated the light machine guns, divided them into several angles, and suppressed the Japanese troops with intensive firepower.

It was said that it was a feint, and the frontal assault team was not slow at all, and the Japanese troops, who felt the huge pressure, could only withstand the fierce machine gun fire and mortar accurate fire, constantly firing from the trenches, and the machine guns were also firing frantically in the solid fire points. Although the Japanese firepower was not fierce, their marksmanship was accurate, and there were four or five casualties from the beginning of the battle. The paramedics stepped forward in time, and the stretcher followed.

The terrain of Lion Rock is not suitable for the operation of large troops, and the large number of people is sending it off. Li Hong's first commando in front was no more than a company, followed by the second and third commandos, ready to go up at any time.

The 1st Commando Group quickly rushed to the previously blocked area, and the Japanese machine-gun fire again pinned them down in front of the position. Seeing this scene, Leng Yu scolded: "The navy of the little devil in the East is fat, and a brigade actually has so many heavy machine guns. ”

The Japanese army's (Haqi Keith) M1894 heavy machine gun, although it is not as powerful as the continuity of the Makqin firepower, but this thing is also a heavy machine gun, isn't it?

In the battle of Qingdao, the cold rain could not catch up, and I regretted it in my heart. Fighting Daye Iron Mine, I originally thought it would be an easy battle, but unexpectedly, the Japanese army defended with a large brigade of troops, and it was actually quite able to carry it. In particular, the rifles of the Japanese marines were armed with a long range. This is a real advantage, but it is also a disadvantage. At a distance of three or five hundred meters, the Japanese fired accurately, and as soon as they knocked down a few green figures, 60 mortar shells went up. Leng Yu nodded with satisfaction, this kind of chasing artillery fire brought great casualties to the Japanese army, and at the moment of a fierce beating, the assault team rushed forward for nearly 100 meters, and the Japanese machine guns were suppressed and forced to pause.

The Japanese army, who was accustomed to filling the position with human lives, was really unsuitable for this method of warfare. The Japanese army talked about this in summing up the experience of the civil war in the Republic of China, saying: The Chinese army lacked the spirit of sacrifice and enterprising courage and relied too much on firepower.

By the time the Japanese spotted the assault teams on the flanks, it was already a little late. A company on the flank, which had crept up, had already climbed to a distance of only two hundred meters from the Japanese army. A Japanese heavy machine gun mount was on this side, and within two minutes of firing, a round of 60 mortars passed. There were few roads on the flanks, and the terrain was not conducive to attacking, with a dozen men standing side by side, and the bushes were dense and the roads were difficult to navigate. Because of this, the Japanese army was under tremendous frontal pressure, which gave the commandos a chance.

After taking out the machine gun, the big-toed shoes creaked on the mountain road, and the knife squad rushed forward. A few gunshots rang out, and two people fell, but these soldiers who were evaluated by the Japanese General Staff as having no spirit of sacrifice did not stop and look for cover like a frontal attack.

Tata Tower, the submachine gun began to fire three shots at a time, the light machine gun immediately followed, the mortar stopped after three rounds of fire at the fastest speed, and the sharp knife squad had already rushed to about thirty meters of the position. The wooden-handled grenade emitted white smoke and landed precisely in the trench. The assault squad rushed to the Japanese position in the smoke, and the sound of submachine gun fire was unusually pleasant.

The Japanese reinforcements rushed along the trenches, the bright bayonets were in front of them, and although the submachine gun fire of the assault squad was fierce, the desperate Japanese still rushed up. The assault squad soldiers, who didn't have time to change their bullets, had an extra sapper shovel with a sharp edge in their hands. The squad leader, who was at the front, dodged a bayonet with his body, and the sapper shovel swept off half of his head, and the red and white brains spurted out and scattered all over the ground. The two soldiers then followed, taking advantage of the terrain of the trenches and using the sapper shovel as a weapon to block the rushing Japanese troops. That is, in a few seconds, the brother in the back shouted: "Disperse." ”

The three of them lay down to the side, Tata Tower, and the strafing of submachine guns came again, and about a squad of Japanese soldiers who rushed past were killed seven or eight in an instant, fell to the ground, and blocked the roads in the trenches.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese troops in the rear continued to rush forward while firing back. When the submachine guns were violently suppressed, two small detachments of three people came up and climbed out with a shout. These people have all seen this long bamboo pole or more, and they threw grenades one after another, and they all exited the trench with their hands and feet. Two fiery dragons erupted, instantly setting fire to a section of the trench. The fire, the dazzling flames, even if you hide outside the trenches, you feel like your face is burning.

The flames blocked the Japanese reinforcements, and then a platoon followed threw grenades into the fire, and in the roaring explosion, a Japanese soldier staggered and screamed and crawled out of the fire, but soon did not move, and his body twitched and twitched. Then more than a dozen Japanese soldiers escaped from the burning trenches, and the submachine guns waiting outside did not hesitate

Son knocked down.

A solid machine-gun fire point was thirty meters away, and this place was a dead end for machine gun firing. Mortar shells were thrown at the Japanese positions in this direction as if they were not paying for money, and the squad crawled forward with difficulty, and when it moved forward to about ten meters, the fire dragon was ** again.

A fire point was flooded by the sea of fire, and the body was on fire The Japanese fire point rushed out and was immediately swept by submachine guns. The battlefield was filled with the smell of unpleasant meat, and Wang Mazi, who personally led the sneak attack, later said that he vomited when he saw meat for several days.

A company on the flank took up its position and called the firing points on the Japanese side one by one. Desperate Japanese soldiers howled and rushed out of their positions, and in front of special operations divisions equipped with submachine guns, this was suicide.

Before the news of the Wehrmacht's attack on the Daye Iron Mine spread, the barbaric acts of the Japanese army in Tianjin were completely confirmed. Two French missionaries witnessed these atrocities and secretly took pictures with their cameras. The two missionaries gave the photo to a French newspaper and made headlines the day after the atrocity.

The pictures taken by the missionaries were much clearer, and every picture was so miserable. The severed heads were lined up in rows, the babies who were killed by the bayonets, the women whose stomachs were cut open all over the place, and the people who were tied together and stabbed to death with bayonets.

These photos confirm the brutality of the Japanese army, which is no longer the opinion of the Chinese side. Fang Jianxiong, who happened to arrive in Xiaogan by the special train, immediately issued another order after receiving the news. In order to guard against the possibility of the Japanese Government expanding a full-scale war, the Ministry of National Defense should urgently organize 30 Type B divisions on the basis of the provincial security forces. The vicinity of Tianjin, based on the strength of no less than ten divisions of the First Division, was ready to break through the provisions of the Xinchou Treaty and launch an attack on the Japanese landing force.

After receiving the telegram, Jiang Fangzhen immediately replied: The chairman of the committee should be the commander of the military committee, preside over the overall situation, and go to Langfang in person.

Fang Jianxiong received the telegram and sighed: "Go back to Beijing!" Although Jiang Fangzhen did not say it explicitly, he was actually implicitly criticizing Fang Jianxiong that he should not leave Beijing at this time. In fact, Fang Jianxiong didn't want to accept any mediation, so he hid in Wuhan, and he had to turn around and go back before he got to the place. Fang Jianxiong knew very well in his heart that as long as the navy made a move on the sea, the probability of a full-scale war between China and Japan breaking out was more than ninety percent. With the mobilization capacity of the Japanese army, it will be able to mobilize more than 1.5 million troops in at least half a year, and it will be difficult for this war between China and Japan to end at that time. Now it is necessary to bet that the Japanese government will not dare to launch a full-scale war against China, after all, Japan at this period is still very weak except for a stronger navy. The current Japanese army is nothing but a deformed force. Fang Dashuai is still betting on another point, that is, the attitude of the Entente countries.

When Fang Dashuai returned to Beijing, the battle for Daye Iron Mine was basically over. As soon as Lion Rock fell, there were not many troops on the other positions of the Japanese army. Soldiers of the Special Operations Division stormed the Lion Rock mining area, and sporadic fighting continued. There were still a few Japanese troops resisting in the mining area, and the sound of rifles came and went.

Li Hong personally rushed into the mining area with a company, and there was no movement in the mining area that had ceased production except for the sound of gunfire. Looking at the mountains of iron ore, Li Hong was stopped by the life instructor of this company when he strode in.

"Danza, we've found something, come and see."

Li Hong was a little surprised, and walked forward, and after bypassing a pile of ore, Li Hong was stunned by the scene in front of him.

On October 4, 1914, as the retaliatory actions of the Republic of China government began, military and police throughout the country took action against the Japanese. In Shanghai, at the gate of the Eurasia Department Store, a sign was erected: Japanese slaves and dogs are not allowed to enter.

In the Hongkou area of the public concession, a division of the second division surrounded this place, and as long as a Japanese came out, there was no need for a reason to arrest people immediately. The consuls of various countries protested against this, but Li Xiehe, commander of the Songhu garrison, remained indifferent and continued to order the Shanghai military police to sweep the Japanese merchants in the urban area.

Groups of soldiers moved along the streets, taking the lead in the local underworld, and the green skins and gangsters who were familiar with the situation became the leading party. Led by these men, the military police smashed open the gates and stormed into one Japanese merchant after another.

One morning, the Japanese merchants outside the concession were swept away.

Du Yuesheng, the newly rising boss of the Green Gang, got up early in the morning and was just about to use breakfast, when a visitor came to the door. The people who came were Yu Qiaqing and a stranger, about thirty years old, with a gloomy face, Du Yuesheng didn't like this person very much, and felt that his eyes were like snakes. Since Zhang Taiyan helped change his name, Du Yuesheng has become even more popular. When I was looked at by this person today, I felt like I was pricked by a needle on my skin, and I felt uncomfortable.

"Brother Ade, what kind of wind blew you here early in the morning?" Du Yuesheng is naturally a junior in front of Yu Qiaqing.

"Yuesheng, this Mr. Zhao has something to do with you." Yu Qiaqing was not polite, and directly explained her intentions.
