Chapter 452: The Battle of Longjiang (2)
The Japanese infantry began to launch a tentative charge to the eastern position. The 2nd Battalion of the 9th Regiment was responsible for defending this position.
At first, the Japanese troops marched very cautiously, always worried that there was a conspiracy of the people in front of them, but when they approached the position and watched from a distance that there was nothing on the anti-union position, at this time the Japanese assault troops raised their waists and shouted the slogan "board loaded" and rushed towards the position.
Zhou Cexun, the commander of the second battalion, who was squatting inside after the war, said to the soldiers who pulled up the bolts of the guns next to him: "Comrades, don't shoot first, wait for the turtle son to come (closer) and then fight!" ”
The warriors nodded their heads in agreement.
When he heard the nasty slogan of the Japanese army, Zhou Cexun knew that it was a devil who was about to approach the position, so he took out two box guns and got up and shouted: "Fight!" After shouting, he took the lead in a series of fires against the unsuspecting Japanese troops, killing and wounding several people on the spot.
As soon as Zhou Cexun gave the order, hundreds of figures immediately appeared in the originally empty position, and ten of them raised the battlefield murderous heavy machine guns, and in less than a minute, the heavy machine guns were set up, and the heavy machine guns on the position rang out a series of dense machine gun strafing sounds. Tongues of fire, under the skillful manipulation of the soldiers, a dense rain of bullets hit the oncoming Japanese army.
Bullets flew out of the position like rain. And the little devils who rushed over, at this moment, were shot and fell in a pool of blood. The Japanese soldiers who reacted hurriedly lay on the ground to avoid the rain of bullets. However, what made this group of Japanese soldiers lying on the ground feel depressed was that even if they did not show their heads, they could still take their lives at any time in the face of the rain of bullets on their heads and the ubiquitous stray bullets.
As for the Japanese squadron leader who led the charge, he saw one after another suddenly appear on the position. After almost double the light and heavy machine gun fire, his whole face was immediately frightened and pale, looking at the fallen soldiers on the position, the Japanese squadron leader wanted to cry without tears, at this time he couldn't rush over, and he couldn't retreat. It was very embarrassing, as soon as he showed his head, several bullets would hit him immediately, and he hoped in his heart at this time that His Excellency the captain would send troops to meet him, and never shell the position of the Zhina, because he was too close to the position at this time.
Numata Tazo Daisa's face was so angry that his face was distorted, and he howled and ordered his troops to attack again. But the soldiers of the second battalion relied on their positions and defended them extremely tightly. The hillside was long and gentle, and at this time it seemed like a drawback, because the Japanese had to endure the attack of the second battalion for such a long distance. And there are very few places to hide, and there are still several big trees before, but they have been cleaned up by the Japanese army themselves, and the position leading to the second battalion is bare at this time.
The Japanese staff officer suggested: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, it seems that the Chinese want to rely on the terrain to block the pace of our attack, and the current soldier charge is at a loss, since the Chinese army has no long-range firepower, we might as well push the artillery in front of its position and attack closely!" ”
Numata Tazo was angry, but he wasn't dizzy. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's too risky." As long as there are mortars with a caliber of more than 70mm in the opposing anti-coalition army, it is possible to put our artillery to death, it is better to let the air force bomb it. ”
"It takes two hours for Your Excellency Wing Commander's flying squad to come at a time, and besides, the opposing army has long used its artillery, but they have allowed our army to gather infantry in front of their positions, which shows that they have no long-range firepower at all.
Numata Takazo was finally convinced, and the point was that he couldn't think of a better way than that. If the Japanese artillery units were not allowed to continue to advance. That would not be able to hit the troops on the battlefield at all, unless he could bear to order the soldiers to take the position with flesh and blood.
The force of the approaching bombardment was indeed great, and the soil on the defensive positions and main positions of the second battalion was roasted by the high temperature brought by the explosion. Then it was lifted and scraped away layer by layer by the shock wave, and the entire mountain was shaved off with a thick layer. In such a situation, the fighters had no choice but to cover their ears and hide in the anti-artillery holes. However, several anti-artillery holes were blown up, two of which were buried alive in the holes, and after rescue, less than four people survived, and the rest died of lack of oxygen.
The positions of the 1st battalion, which was the focus of the attack, were even worse, and even some of the anti-artillery holes were collapsed. Under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese again launched a charge. This time they managed to rush to the front of the position. Before the soldiers of the first battalion could come out of the anti-artillery hole, the Japanese assault troops rushed into the trenches, and the commander of the first battalion picked up a rifle with bayonets and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers in the trenches, and at the same time, shouted in his mouth: "Comrades, drive this group of **** land down for me." ”
The battalion commander Yao Feiyu killed the Quartet with a gun, but it was also due to physical exhaustion, he was first stabbed in the thigh and arm by the Japanese army, and the military uniform on his body was stained red with blood, and the situation on the position gradually shifted to the side of the Japanese army, and the battalion was almost unable to withstand it.
A soldier who was stabbed and lying on the ground saw his comrades who were constantly sacrificing to protect him, and his eyes glared at the rampant devil soldiers in front of him, and shouted: "Little devil, my **** family." As he spoke, he picked up a bundle of cluster grenades and slid towards the place where there were many devils.
Yao Feiyu happened to see it and exclaimed: "Liu Cheng, don't do stupid things!" But it was too late to stop it, and with a loud bang, the soldier and a dozen devils were blown to pieces.
Zhang Yuequn originally hoped to lure more Japanese artillery to come, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop, when he saw the dangerous situation of the first battalion, knew that the situation was critical, and hurriedly sent a guard company to support, and then asked Gao Jinyu, the commander of the third battalion of the fourth regiment of the artillery division directly under the headquarters next to him: "Lao Jin is now immediately bombarding the Japanese artillery position, are you sure to take them all?" ”
Gao Jinyu said loudly: "Commander Zhang, the shooting of Zhu Yuan has already been adjusted, just waiting for your order!" Let you see the strength of the headquarters artillery. ”
Zhang Yuequn nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you now!" It's up to you to decide when to attack! ”
The artillery position, which had already been ready to stop, was waiting for the order, Gao Jinyu held a small flag in his hand and waved it vigorously and ordered loudly: "One test shot, release!" The sound of the "Tong" and "Tong" guns was ejected one after another, and the observers holding binoculars at high places loudly reported the deviation value of the landing point, and the leaders of each artillery squad quickly converted the shooting to hit Zhuyuan, commanded the artillery to fine-tune the high and low directions, shouted loudly, and waited for orders.
"Six shots rush shot, let's go!" As Gao Jinyu's command was issued, a total of dozens of shells accurately smashed into the artillery positions of the Japanese army. Violent explosions suddenly sounded on the Japanese positions. Moreover, the explosion also caused the explosion of Japanese artillery shells, and the sound of explosions continued to sound until the position was blown beyond recognition. The chaotic and noisy explosions around covered the screams of the shells, and it was impossible to judge the landing point of the shells in advance, and 126 shells of various types fell in a row from the small Japanese artillery position, causing huge lethality, and the parts of the Japanese artillery, the personnel of the command, the guards, including the Japanese infantry were constantly thrown up and fell.
When the anti-United Nations shelling was over, Numata Takazo pushed away the dead body on his body, and scolded at the chief of staff who had just assured him that the people had no long-range firepower: "Yaga! Didn't you say that the people of China did not have long-range firepower? The 100-millimeter howitzer, the 75-millimeter mountain artillery...... I need you to explain to me what's going on. ”
The Japanese staff officers were also blown up by the shelling of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and they didn't know what to say, so they could only bow their heads in shame and listen to the reprimand of the wing commander.
Numata Tazo artillery was blown up, and without attacking the fortified weapons, it was impossible to take the opposite position, so the troops had no choice but to order the troops to retreat several miles away to rest and wait for the arrival of the artillery.
Although this battle ended in the victory of the Anti-Japanese Union, Yao Feiyu's battalion, which defended the east of the main position, suffered heavy casualties. The positions were littered with corpses from both sides of the enemy. One of the fighters crouched motionless on the ground with a Czech light machine gun, and when his comrades approached, they realized that he had been dead for a long time. It's just that the tiger's eyes are still open, and they still maintain the posture of shooting at the enemy until death, and some of the soldiers whose heads have been cut off, and their heads are still bitten fiercely on the neck of a Japanese soldier.
