Chapter 178 is different!

The value of mortars as supplementary firepower lies in the distance between 500 and 1,500 meters. Please search in Baidu, and read the latest chapters of popular novels first! Fighting * is a technical job, and when the distance between the enemy and us is at this point, it is easy for artillery to cause accidental damage. The advent of mortars, and their application to real combat, developed rapidly. The roots lie in being lightweight, and being able to hit opponents in trenches with its curved trajectory.

The commander of the Yamada Brigade saw the shelling of the squadron at such a close range, and for the first time he did not take it seriously, thinking that it was an adventurous act. The second time was a shock, because this was a normalized suppression artillery that Japan did not master. It is no secret that the squadron is heavily armed with a light artillery, but before that, Yamada believed that China was too backward for this reason. And without thinking about tactics, now it seems that the power of this light artillery is huge, far from what was thought before, it is a helpless choice.

Since the Russo-Japanese War at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it has been a very common phenomenon for the squadron to learn from Japan. However, there is a general concept among the Japanese army that the Chinese army lacks the courage to fight to the death, and no matter how good the equipment and tactics are in their hands, they will not be able to play an effective role. And the most popular dense group charge in this era was interpreted to the extreme in the hands of the Japanese, and the representative work is Nogi Noshinori in the storming of the Lushun 203 Heights. There is a theory that the final capture of 203 Highlands came from the handwriting of Gentaro Kodama, not the god of war boasted by the Japanese. The Japanese writer Ryotaro Sima once said that Nogi Noshinori was a "foolish general".

All in all, the Russo-Japanese War still brought many tragic lessons to Japan, especially in the use of infantry artillery, the Japanese army made a lot of attempts and improvements. As far as offensive tactics are concerned, it is still the mainstream group charge. During the Battle of Songhu, one of the Japanese students, the Gui Army, the whole regiment and battalion charged with great bravery, but under the blow of the Japanese naval artillery, they suffered heavy losses and did not achieve much practical results.

Under the artillery fire, the Japanese army was still in a disorderly formation, prepared in advance and preset the elements, and the effect of the artillery bombardment was naturally very good. But even so, the advancing Japanese troops did not have the slightest intention of fearing or retreating, but only accelerated their speed and rushed forward. The courage of the Japanese army made Li Zongren amazed, and at the same time he couldn't help but secretly ridicule the Japanese army for not knowing how to be flexible. As everyone knows, this is the embodiment of the Japanese army's tactical training to an instinctive state. The more fiercely the mortars fired, the more fierce the Japanese charged. As the distance approached, the mortar stopped firing.

The commander of the Yamada Brigade believed that the most painful time was coming to an end, and then it was time for the Japanese army to perform, and now the Japanese army was about 200 meters away from the front-line position, and in a maximum of thirty seconds, the Japanese army could rush to the position and use bayonets like ducks to drive away these cowardly and only dare to hide behind the trenches.

However, something even more painful happened, just when the commander of the Yamashita Brigade fantasized about waiting to take a photo on the occupied area to commemorate the scene, suddenly there was a burst of gunfire on the position, and bullets rained down. That's right, it's like rain. What is the difference between two companies of light and heavy machine guns firing together plus a salvo of rifles, and rain?

Yamada's eyes suddenly rounded, originally holding the war knife in one hand and the telescope in the other, this would actually throw away the war knife, hold the telescope in both hands, and find a more suitable position for himself to observe the situation on the position.

Dozens of fire dragons suddenly appeared on the position of the Chinese army, and the brave Kyushu soldiers fell one by one like mowing grass, and in a short distance of two hundred meters, they couldn't go any further. Yamada couldn't imagine such ferocious infantry firepower, but at this juncture, there was nothing he could do about it, he could only watch the soldiers sacrifice, and watch his men being firmly suppressed by the dense firepower about 150 meters away from the position and unable to move. The Japanese Haqi Keith machine guns desperately suppressed the fire in the back, but soon they were hit by shells one after another, and the guns were destroyed and killed.

Yamada, who was awake from the shock, said almost at the fastest speed: "Order to retreat!" "After a green flare was raised at the starting point of the Japanese army, the Japanese troops, who were pressed in front of the formation and could not raise their heads, began to retreat at a very fast speed. The retreat of the Japanese army is not as orderly as in the movie, even with heavy casualties, it can still fight and retreat in an orderly manner, instead of running around like a shelf.

Li Zongren smiled proudly, when the Japanese army rushed to about 200 meters just now, he was still very nervous. As the machine guns began to fire, blood splashed in front of the formation, and when the Japanese troops were completely suppressed, Li Zongren breathed a sigh of relief. What I learned in Lu Dali really worked. It's a pity that this battle is to lure the enemy deeper, otherwise it would have been perfect to pull up a few more barbed wires.

Leaving behind more than 100 corpses, the Japanese army did not launch a new attack, and until dusk, Li Zongren could not wait for another attack by the Japanese army. Instead, I waited for some Japanese soldiers with white flags, and one of them spoke broken Chinese and asked for the corpse to be collected!

Li Zongren agreed to the Japanese army's request and told the front line to be careful about the Japanese army's sneak attack.

At this time, the Japanese army really had no intention of attacking again, and when Mitsutomi Kamio's order arrived, Yamada did not dare to disobey it. Besides, the second attack just now really hurt him, nearly 300 casualties, half of them were killed in direct battle, and many corpses had more than a dozen bullet holes. After two hours of busyness, the Japanese army finished collecting the corpses before dark.

At this time, Yamada could not help but secretly find out the reason for today's unfavorable battle in his heart after learning the painful news that the landing ground had been bombed by planes, a large amount of combat materials had been destroyed, and that Major General Watanabe had been killed in battle. After all the calculations, it was decided to publish it to Kamio Mitsutomi, and report the news that he had encountered the Shina army and launch an attack that was unfavorable. In the report, he said: The intensity of the machine gun fire of the Chinese army and the accuracy of suppressing the artillery are breathtaking. However, the artillery could not check the enemy's gun position, and when he carefully examined the enemy's gun, this was a small mortar gun, with a curved trajectory, hidden between the ravines, and our artillery fire could not effectively hit it.

This summary can be described as bloodstained! It was a great shame in the eyes of the Japanese army that the two brigades launched a decisive assault on the position of the Chinese army, but they could not rush within 100 meters of the position. Yamada also believes that this is a shame, and although it is a shame, it cannot be hidden, and this battle is still going on, and in order to avoid greater losses, it must be reported truthfully.

Mitsutomi Kamio quickly called back, ordering Yamada to return to Longkou and the troops to withdraw to Huangxian. This battle has been seen very clearly, it is not so easy to win, and the squadron is definitely not as cowardly and cowardly as imagined in advance. Even the firepower is ferocious!

The annoying Liege had finally set, and the soldiers on the ground were able to relax a little. Fighting on a scorching sun is not a pleasant thing. Sun Chuanfang's clothes have been soaked with sweat I don't know how many times, and now I feel like wearing armor in a military uniform. But Sun Chuanfang still looks the same, he is still clasped tightly, and he doesn't know how much he realizes the prickly heat on his body, it is when it is hot, and the little nose of the East does not stop.

didn't care about taking a breath, poured a belly into his stomach and opened it coldly, Sun Chuanfang left the headquarters and inspected the position. Anyone can rest, but he and Chief of Staff Tong Nianhua don't dare to rest, and the two have to act together and take a look at the forward position. The Wehrmacht is not Beiyang, and it is about soldiers who do not sleep and will not rest.

The cooking class put baskets of pancakes on the battlefield, and the wooden barrels were filled with broth, one salted fish per person, and the pancakes were enough, and the soup was drunk casually. There was still a strong smell of blood on the battlefield, and the soldiers who had been living and dying for a day did not think so, sitting on the ground of the trenches, eating bread and drinking soup in large gulps.

Sun Chuanfang's appearance made the soldiers a little nervous, and there were many soldiers in the old Beiyang, and they had the inertia of fearing their superiors.

Seeing a familiar face, Sun Chuanfang stepped forward and said with a smile: "I remember that your name is Sun Ergou, a native of Baoding, how did you not coax when you were fighting?" I put on the submachine gun, and I was the squad leader first. ”

Sun Ergou was tall, with a simple face, hanging a submachine gun, holding a pancake in his hand, and still swallowing in his mouth. I was asked a question suddenly, and I was anxious to speak, and I choked on one bite of food. Tong Nianhua hurriedly stepped forward and handed over his kettle: "Drink saliva, don't worry." ”

Sun Ergou hurriedly took it, took a sip of water and swallowed it, and saluted: "Report the group seat, the staff seat." I didn't coax it, and I didn't dare to coax it, and when the little nose of the East came up, the lowly position knocked down at least three. ”

"Wow! I can understand if I don't dare to coax me? Sun Chuanfang was actually interested and asked. He knows these old Beiyang soldiers too well. Sun Ergou, a veteran in his early thirties, didn't say anything about his ability when he was fighting, but the problem was that he was slippery enough. If you can't play with your life, you won't play with your life!

"Report to the group, there is a letter from the lowly family, saying that it is the new master in the county, and let the lowly parents be invited to be guests. Sue them that they are very good in the army, and they also gave their families a hundred catties of millet, and there is a sign that says that the military family is glorious. Nowadays, there is no shame in having a soldier in the family, and the lord of the county is also exempted from tax service. The second elder asked the old man Qiu in the town to write a letter, asking me to work hard in the army, and said that I had received all the money I had remitted to my family in the past few months. He also said that the younger brother of the family has gone to school for free in the town's school, and he still has a meal at noon. I heard that it was a military family, and the school issued a set of clothes. ”

Sun Ergou didn't speak very smoothly, and his mind was a little messy, but the meaning was clear. Now the low position of the soldier is high, and the family is stained. Sun Chuanfang knew this, but he didn't expect that the local government would do such things, and his mentality as a soldier had changed.

"Tuanza, if I make a meritorious service, can I give me a few days off?" Sun Ergou suddenly became embarrassed, and Tong Nianhua smiled when he heard it: "What? Having trouble at home? ”

"No, no, it's a daughter-in-law from home, let me go back and take a look!" Sun Chuanfang and Tong Nianhua looked at each other and smiled, and laughed together. (To be continued.)
