Chapter 22: Head-on
I have to admit that the Japanese army's infantry and artillery coordinated operations were quite excellent, and at first glance it was the result of professional training. Under the cover of heavy machine-gun fire, they got closer and closer to the hideout of the Dragon's Tooth task force.
Qiao Youhua held his breath, pulled the bolt of the crooked-handled light machine gun that had just been replaced with a new magazine, and once again aimed at the Japanese attacking crowd that was rapidly approaching this side, and said coldly at the same time: "Haidong, the grenadiers and machine gunners of the devil will be handed over to you." ”
The night sky illuminated by the flares was extraordinarily brilliant, as if it were daytime, and although the Japanese army was able to see the situation north of Zhengcun, they also exposed their own whereabouts.
"Da ......" Captain Sasaki's special machine gun, a Type 92 heavy machine gun, was spitting scarlet tongues of fire, roaring, and spraying dense bullets like water on the village, splashing dirt chips. (Note that the Japanese squadron-level troops do not have heavy machine gun fire squad platoons, and only at the brigade level can there be independent heavy machine gun squads, and even squadrons strengthened according to the battle situation, etc.)
The continuous whistling sound of bullets flying over the heads of Qiao Youhua and other task force members, Jiang Haidong lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Dragon King, I promise that the little devil's grenadiers will not be able to play!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and ordered in a low voice: "Attention members of the sharpshooter team, the light machine gunners and grenadiers who specialize in devils will be in the future, remember, they specialize in machine gunners and grenadiers!" ”
"Understood! Got it. Seven or eight of the best riflemen responded one after another, and the roar of the Devil's Type 92 heavy machine gun muffled their speech, but it would not be exposed.
This time, Captain Sasaki engaged in the attack launched by two full squads of more than 100 people, each squad had three light machine gun squads and a grenadier squad equipped with three grenadiers, a total of six light machine guns and six grenadiers, and the firepower was quite strong.
Under the cover of the suppression of the fire of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, the more than 100 Japanese troops rushed through the range of 200 meters without any firepower, of course, this was the result of Qiao Youhua's intention to let them approach.
One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, the Japanese army is all along the lì pass guò, the firelight is filled with gunpowder smoke is still quiet as if there is no one, after the Kankan rushed over a hundred meters, the Japanese soldiers who were originally still trotting forward have stood up straight, and the speed under their feet has been doubled.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the edge of a distance of fifty meters, and Qiao Youhua was waiting for this time, when the Japanese troops all stood up straight and carried out the final stage of the all-out charge, they exposed themselves and increased the risk of being shot.
"Brothers, call me!" With Qiao Youhua's loud shout, the five light machine guns and other light weapons of the task force opened fire at the same time, and the fire network composed of dense intersecting bullets gave the Japanese troops who were charging at full speed a head-on blow.
On the spot, no less than four or five unlucky eggs were beaten into a bloody sieve by the dense bullets, and fell straight to the ground.
The sudden sound of gunfire stunned Captain Sasaki behind him, and he never thought that under the cover of his own artillery fire, the strength of the opponent's fire was not weakened in the slightest.
Raising the binoculars, he realized that the opponent's firepower was not from the original position that was shelled, but twenty or thirty meters back, and Captain Sasaki was also a high-achieving student who graduated from the Imperial Army University.
Immediately understood that he had been fooled, and even more understood the cunning and insidiousness of his opponent.
They obviously knew the tactics of the imperial army, and after repelling the first wave of tentative attacks launched by the puppet army, they retreated and moved, and the distance of the retreat was very tricky, only twenty or thirty meters from the forward position.
This distance is not only outside the artillery fire, but also can block the entrance to the front of the village head into the village, and when the warriors of their own imperial army rush to about twenty or thirty meters away from the abandoned village head position, they have not yet been attacked, and they will definitely be paralyzed and careless.
The progress of the battle confirmed this, when the Japanese turned to a full-speed rush, Qiao Youhua's troops, who were still fifty meters away, immediately opened fire, just giving the Japanese a head-on blow, caught off guard, the attacking troops were bound to suffer heavy casualties, because at such a close distance, the crossfire composed of several light machine guns would be fatal.
Thinking of this, Captain Sasaki couldn't help but jump like thunder in anger, and scolded with a blue face: "Yaga Yalu, the hateful Chinese man, cunning and big drops!" ”
I saw that the two Japanese ensigns who were responsible for leading the attack were hurriedly responding to the command: "Fight back!" The light machine gun group immediately stopped the fire counterattack, and the grenadier group suppressed the artillery fire! Hurry up and drop! ”
Most of the Japanese troops stopped the charge, lay down on the ground, and began to raise their guns to shoot, and the Japanese machine gun team and grenadier team that accompanied the charge were also busy.
The four devils had just set up a crooked machine gun, and before they could shoot a bullet, their machine gunner was hit in the head by a sudden bullet that pierced his entire head, killing him on the spot.
Behind an earthen wall dozens of meters away, Jiang Haidong smiled, pulled the bolt, and continued to aim at another machine gun group.
The two Japanese grenadiers had just crouched down and were visually checking the direction of the target, when two bullets hit them almost simultaneously, and the two of them snorted and fell together, and the grenadiers and grenades were also crushed under them.
In this way, amid the dense sound of gunfire and explosions, the Japanese machine-gun team and grenadier group were treated favorably by the sharpshooter group personally trained by Jiang Haidong, and the main and auxiliary shooters and gunners were named one by one.
Without the strong artillery support of machine gun fire and grenadiers, the fire of the riflemen alone could not suppress the fire of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, but was suppressed by the machine-gun fire of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force at the entrance of the village, and the number of dead and wounded Japanese troops soon reached twenty.
With the suppression of light machine guns, the riflemen of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force could easily aim and shoot, and the idea that the Japanese army was so easy to fight invisibly spread, which greatly enhanced the self-confidence of the recruits.
Under the influence of one another, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is extraordinary.
"Bombardier, bombard!" Wu Ming gave an order, and four or five riflemen took off a melon grenade from their bodies, pulled the fuse, bumped it on the rifle Qiang again, and then threw it out at the same time.
Four or five more devils were killed in the "boom, ......boom, boom" incident, and so far the Japanese army's casualties had reached almost 30, nearly one-third.
Two Japanese ensigns also sacrificed one, it was the masterpiece of the sniper Jiang Haidong, after he shot the main and auxiliary shooters of the two Japanese machine gun teams, he accidentally found the Japanese second lieutenant who brandished a saber and scolded his subordinates to fight back, and gave him a shot without hesitation, and a headshot ended his guilt.
Captain Sasaki's face turned blue and ordered: "Order the troops to stop the attack and withdraw!" ”
The devils who received the order to retreat rushed back as if they were amnestied, even though they were brainwashed by the spirit of bushido, but they were also human beings, and they were afraid of death, and the bullet would hurt as well as if it passed through the body.
In less than half an hour, nearly thirty people were inexplicably killed, and they were suppressed by the local superior firepower and could not exert their due combat power at all, and the devil soldiers who were not used to fighting at night were all afraid, so it is not surprising that there is such a table.
The wolf bèi table xiàn of the attacking troops added to Captain Sasaki's anger even more, and as soon as the attacking troops with heavy casualties had withdrawn, he roared hoarsely: "The mortar will bombard the entire northern area of the village fiercely, shoot all the shells, kill Quack!" ”
