Chapter 831: Modern Warfare
That night, except for some of the soldiers who were standing guard, the rest of the Japanese were resting peacefully. The crows on the opposite side have been constantly reinforcing their fortifications.
They fortified with everything they could find, and they used what they used to fortify. They understood the importance of fortifying their positions better than the Jin Sui army, and they did whatever it took to consolidate their positions against the incoming heavy artillery of the Japanese army.
"Lao Li, do you think they can withstand it?!" Gao Jianbai whispered to Li Shaotang beside him, who shook his head with complicated eyes. ""The fastest update, full text hand-typed
"To be honest, I'm conflicted. On the one hand, I hope that they will withstand the attack of the Japanese army, these are bloody men. Anyone can see their skilledness. After a pause, Li Shaotang continued: "But these people are talking too crazy, as if they can kill the Japanese all day." Our Jin Suijun is not a vegetarian, they don't give us face at all! ”
"But no matter what, as long as they support it, I, Li Shaotang, will convince them! In the future, I will be asked to study at a national defense university, no matter what! I'll just go straight to it. ”
"Hey, hey, hey...... Me too! Gao Jianbai listened to Li Shaotang's words and smiled: "If they can defeat the devils, Lao Tzu will not say a word and obey their dispatch!" "Baidu Search" "See the latest chapters."
The crows on the position were no more than seven detachments, a full seventy people. With the addition of a few veterans who came to support them from all over the place, the total number was less than eighty. The total is less than the strength of a company.
And what about the Japanese army on the other side?! Even after several major battles, the Japanese army on the opposite side still maintained at least one brigade of more than 3,000 troops.
Such a disparity. If they can still withstand it, then it can only be said that their ability has far surpassed that of Jin Suijun. Gao Jianbai and Li Shaotang, and even the entire 17th Army, even if they were not convinced, could only bow their heads.
"Buzzing ......" In the early morning of the next day, Japanese planes arrived first. Hovering in the sky, observing the position laid out by the crows.
After circling for a few laps. These Japanese planes began bombing and strafing. Although they did not detect anyone on the position, they attacked suspicious targets at their own discretion.
At the same time, the coordinates of some suspicious targets were recorded and sent to the artillery units after landing.
"Yo Si! Suematsu was indeed a strong general, but he had already taken the position in one day. If this fight continues, I believe that Suesong will be able to enter Zhengzhou City soon. ”
The chief of staff of the Tenth Army, Tian Abe Shengwu, looked at the map and said with satisfaction: "Your Excellency Commander, what do you think of this matter?!" ”
"Suematsu is more than brave, but not enough strategy." Yanagawa Heisuke looked at Tabe Moritake. He sighed helplessly: "Indeed, being able to break through the position of one of the opponent's divisions in such a short period of time, and kill and wound more than 7,000 people of the Jin Sui army, this is a remarkable record. ”
"The losses of Komosong's 114th Division were not small. The base of ammunition consumed is too large. Yanagawa Heisuke paused and said to his chief of staff.
"If Suesong can see the situation clearly, he will choose to constantly use tactical attacks to consume these Jin Sui troops. They were forced to increase their positions and finally won the battle. ”
"It's a pity. Suematsu was too impatient. He was just thinking about getting his position. But they ignore that the strategy of our Tenth Army is to occupy Xuchang. And the strategic goal of our entire Central China Front Army is to occupy Zhengzhou. ”
In this regard, Suematsu made a huge strategic mistake. His goal was only to focus on the position, not to try to kill the opponent's living forces. With that, Yanagawa Heisuke walked over to the observation port with his hands behind his back.
"If he was just a brigade commander or a wing commander, there was nothing to blame for what he did. But he was a division commander, and he had to think about the overall strategy of the troops. But unfortunately, I didn't see this kind of thinking in him. I have to say. It's a pity. ”
When Tabe Shengwu heard Yanagawa Heisuke say this, he couldn't help but stand up solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your Excellency, Commander, for your teachings. The subordinates will take it to heart. Such a mistake will never be made in the future. ”
"Yo Si! Tabe, you can understand best. Yanagawa Heisuke whispered to his chief of staff with satisfaction: "The consequence of Suematsu's impatience is that his own 114th Division will lose its combat effectiveness. ”
"This is extremely frightening, in order to accomplish the tactical objectives of one's own division without considering casualties at all. This practice must be banned. The emperor is not afraid of death, but it doesn't mean that we have to be stupid to fight to the death. ”
"What we need to do is to win at the lowest cost and in exchange for support for the strategic picture. Do you understand?! ”
"Hail!!"
By the time Yanagawa Heisuke and Tabe Moritake spoke of Shigeharu Suematsu, the 114th Division had already begun to assemble and prepare for an attack on the crow's position.
"Tom tom tom...... Rumble! Rumble!! ......The artillery units of the 10th Army began to carry out artillery strikes on the positions of the crows according to the coordinates reported by the aviation team.
The artillery fire was indeed fierce, directly blowing up the position and shaking the ground. Even Gao Jianbai and the others, who were in the third-line position, felt a palpitation when they looked at this fierce artillery fire.
The artillery fire seemed to have no end, and there was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment against the position. The dirt on those positions was constantly lifted and smashed down.
The earth trembled, and the breath of death brought by these steels made Gao Guizi, who had rushed to the battlefield to watch the battle, palpitate.
Will they be able to withstand it?! This is the heartfelt thought of the officers of the 17th Army who are now watching the Japanese shelling. However, the Japanese continued to shell and this position did not explode a trace of blood.
Finally, after an hour and a half, the Japanese shelling stopped. I saw that in the midst of the anti-inflammatory, countless Japanese troops were coming towards this position in groups of three along the straggler line.
These Japanese soldiers were highly tactical, and they constantly used cover to cover each other. About 300 meters before arriving at the position, their light and heavy machine guns began to be deployed in various positions to provide fire support to the charging squad.
"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Da ...... "The roar of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns resounded through the position, and the charging Japanese troops continued to kill this position by covering and covering.
The hearts of the officers of the Seventeenth Army suddenly rose to their throats. Seeing that the Japanese army was about to break into the position, why didn't there be any reaction from this position?!
Indeed, the position has not shown any counterattack since the shelling. Whether it was the charge of the Japanese army, or the strafing of light and heavy machine guns. Even now, the bombardment of grenadiers has kept silent on this position. It's like a dead place.
"They won't all die...... Gao Jianbai said softly to Li Shaotang beside him with a pale face: "With such heavy artillery fire, the anti-artillery holes they built won't all collapse......
"Probably not, even if it collapses, there will always be something that hasn't collapsed, right?!" Li Shaotang's lips trembled, and he said uncertainly: "Although I also think that the shelling just now will cause them heavy casualties, it shouldn't be that no one survived......"
"No matter! Tell your brethren to prepare for battle! Gao Jianbai gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "If they are all finished playing, at least the position cannot be lost." We've got to take it back! ”
"Yes!" Li Shaotang nodded fiercely. Go down and organize the troops and prepare for a decisive charge to the position.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers had already stood up and shouted and charged the position! But he saw that the strength of one of the charging wings was like a tide rushing towards the position.
The Japanese light and heavy machine gun units behind also began to charge towards the position, and these Japanese soldiers rushed to the position in twos and threes. Gao Jianbai's face turned white.
"Let the brethren gather me at once and lead the charge!" Gao Jianbai roared suddenly: "Damn! What shit Wehrmacht! Bragging dogs, right?! This little devil is rushing ......."
"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ......" Gao Jian had not finished speaking, and those Japanese soldiers who rushed to the position suddenly encountered a crazy explosion! The explosion was so violent that Gao Jianbai could even see with the naked eye that the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the position were directly blown into pieces of corpses.
Those mutilated arms, broken legs, and internal organs were sprayed everywhere with dirt and blood, making Gao Jianbai and Li Shaotang stunned when they looked at them directly. This...... What's going on?!
"Tom tom tom......
Rumble! Rumble!! Rumble...... ......Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly. On both sides of the Japanese breakthrough position was heard a large roar of gunfire.
But I saw that explosions kept coming from the position. Countless bullets pierced the air and pierced through the Japanese troops who had stayed on their positions. All the attacks came from the protrusions on both sides, some of which were blown up by the Japanese and some of which were originally built by the Jin Sui army.
The Japanese broke through the main position, but they were greeted with endless slaughter. The explosion of the tsunami and the rain of ammunition poured down on the position, and no one could escape it.
The first 200 Japanese troops to rush to the position were silent for a short time. The follow-up Japanese troops were even more subjected to continuous artillery fire, and their hands and feet were flying all over the sky after being interrupted by the continuous sound of explosions.
Countless Japanese soldiers, even lying on the ground, had been blasted into a pile of tattered corpses by bullets and explosions. Blood is not sprinkling money all over the battlefield. None of the Japanese soldiers who had just pounced survived.
Gao Jianbai and Li Shaotang were dumbfounded as they looked at the endless blood on the battlefield, and even now they couldn't tell where these soldiers of the Wehrmacht were and what weapons they used.
They can see it. It's just the constant flames of bullets shooting everywhere. From time to time, a grenade or a small cannonball spewed out from an unknown place.
smashed directly into the crowd of Japanese soldiers in front of the position, setting off bursts of blood and broken stumps!
"Retreat! Retreat ......" The shouts of the Japanese commanders resounded through the position, and the panicked Japanese troops finally retreated to their positions in a panic.
Fighting an invisible enemy is extremely humiliating. None of the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the position came down alive, and all of them were reduced to pieces of corpses on the battlefield.
No one in front of those positions could come down. They were either killed or blown off, and they continued to wail on the battlefield, and eventually they were reduced to broken corpses under the rain of bullets.
And as soon as the Japanese retreated, the gunfire on the positions also stopped. The whole position fell into a dead silence again.
"Mother...... ...... How did these Wehrmacht fight......" Gao Jianbai's lips trembled, and it took a long time for him to shudder.
It's obvious. The Japanese army did not even see anyone before they encountered a counterattack. Light and heavy machine gun fire, grenadiers, etc., did not exert any attack power at all.
As soon as the explosions began, they were bombarded and strafed. These people died the fastest. After that, there were the Japanese troops in front of those positions. They were plowed, so to speak, by shells and bullets over and over again. Gao Jianbai estimated that there was no one left of their corpses.
As for those on the position...... Gao Jianbai smiled bitterly, they were all veterans on the battlefield, and he obviously saw that those people could not still be alive. The explosions were continuous, one after the other.
Those Japanese soldiers who rushed to the position could find two or three pieces of corpses and internal organs, which could be regarded as burning incense.
Slaughter! This is the **naked slaughter! If it is said that the Japanese army relied on heavy firepower to attack the position of the Jin Sui army, it was a bully of the strong, then this counterattack by the Wehrmacht was undoubtedly a massacre that completely left the Japanese army without the ability to resist!
"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Bombardment......" The Japanese retaliatory shelling followed suit, but only the broken corpses of the Japanese themselves were set off. There were also parts of Japanese guns scattered around those positions.
The shelling lasted for two hours, and countless shells rained down on the entire position. And that's not all. Japanese planes reappeared.
and hovered over the position and kept observing, while the Japanese took advantage of this time to launch another attack on the position.
Gao Jianbai and Li Shaotang's hearts rose again, this time it was completely different. The Japanese used fighter jets to help. Even the sound of Kerala tanks could be heard in the Japanese charges.
Obviously, the Japanese army was angry and used all their main forces to fight this position. They spared no effort to take this position in one go.
"Damn...... The little devil is really ruthless! When we attacked us, I didn't see eight tanks......" Gao Jianbai put down his binoculars and said to Li Shaotang beside him: "Shaotang." This time, I think it will be very difficult for this group of Wehrmacht to hold on. ”
"I think it's ......," Li Shaotang sighed. He put down the binoculars and said, "Damn! Little devils bully people! If it weren't for these things, would they be able to show off their might with the Wehrmacht?! ”
Gao Jianbai sighed silently, what can people do if they rely on firepower stronger than you to bully you?! How do you resist?! You can't beat it,
But at this time, there was a sudden roar of "buzzing ......" planes from Xuchang City! Gao Jianbai and the others raised their eyes, but saw a group of aircraft formations flying far away from the sky.
In just three or two clicks, the formation of these planes had already swooped over the position. Those Japanese fighters rushed towards these planes in a panic, but they saw a group of fighters flying from the direction of Xuchang City suddenly scattered and ......opened fire on the Japanese fighters!
"Boom! Boom ...... "Those few poor Japanese fighters were directly smashed into a pile of parts in mid-air. Falling down towards the position with a clatter.
"Woo~~ Sudden ......" At this time, those fighters who had just fired suddenly attacked! Pounced on the two remaining Japanese fighters. The Japanese fighters tried to resist. But after a burst of gunfire, he was directly hit by a volley and fell down miserably.
The Japanese troops who charged below were even more miserable, but they saw the planes following behind these fighters suddenly swooping down! With a strange roar, they pounced on the Japanese troops.
"Assault!!" Heart-rending shouts rang out from the Japanese formation, and more than a dozen heavy machine guns were set up and fired into the air.
"Chirp...... Boom, boom, boom, ......"But what they got in exchange was the crazy blow of those fighters." All attempts to carry out air defense firepower were prioritized and it is not known what weapons were fired by these fighters.
I saw a burst of flames on the wings of the plane, and then the anti-aircraft fire point on the ground was directly covered by the explosion for dozens of meters nearby. Gao Jianbai and the others who were watching this hissed and inhaled the cool air! They could all see that few people would survive under such firepower.
"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble!! "The flamethrows were finished, and the fighters didn't spare the eight Japanese tanks below that were trying to escape. However, seeing the continuous flashing of fire on the fighters, these Japanese tanks were directly hit during the evacuation and exploded on the spot.
There were even two Japanese tanks, and even the turrets were blown off. In the smoke of gunpowder, Gao Jianbai and others could see with the naked eye that the corpses of those broken tank drivers flew up like catkins and fell miserably to the ground in the smoke.
If the battle of the Wehrmacht just now was using the position to carry out covert attacks, then what these fighters are doing now is undoubtedly a crazy slaughter on the surface!
Gao Jianbai and the others didn't know what caliber the guns carried by these planes, but they could see that the Japanese soldiers who were swept away were directly turned into pieces of flesh and blood in the sky even if they were wiped to the slightest.
This scene is really too hiatous! More terrifying than the Shura Slaughterhouse......
"Wow......" Some soldiers of the Jin Sui Army looked at this scene of slaughter, and couldn't help but vomit on the spot. The scene of spraying blood, brains, and internal organs, even accompanied by screams of helplessness, was not something that ordinary people could endure.
Even for ordinary veterans, their psychological endurance in this situation is a great test. At this time, Li Shaotang suddenly discovered an important problem!
"Old high...... Did you notice the second offense...... Those soldiers of the Wehrmacht didn't come out at all......" Li Shaotang's words directly made Gao Jianbai covered in a cold sweat and couldn't help but tremble!
With more than 7,000 brothers, the position they held seemed to have become a joke at this moment. The Japanese troops they fought hard against were like chickens and dogs in front of these Wehrmacht.
"Shaotang, I've decided! You have to go to the National Defense University for training. Suddenly, Gao Jianbai said firmly to Li Shaotang beside him.
"This is the current form of war. If we don't study anymore, then we are really old......" (To be continued. )
