Chapter 455: The Battle of the Dragon River (5)

Seeing that the Japanese army beheaded the traitor township chief because they didn't have any gain, Zhong Wei, who was watching with glasses on the mountain, said with a smile: "Lao Liu really has you, that traitor died a real injustice, obviously kindly went to report to his master, but it was clicked." ”

"A dog traitor like Commander Zhong should have killed him, he deserved to die." Zhang Feng forked the road on the side.

"Start the attack...."Just as the Japanese army gathered and prepared to retreat, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhong Wei's mouth, and he ordered loudly to the staff officers around him who were waiting for his order. Immediately, the order to start the offensive was transmitted to all the positions of the Anti-Japanese Union through the banner of the heralds.

Immediately after that, on the artillery positions of the independent regiment on the hill, orders from commanders of all levels sounded, one after another. A mountain run and mortar, which had already been loaded, let out a huge roar at the sound of the order. Huge shells, under the action of the huge impetus generated by the explosion of gunpowder, flew out of the barrels of the cannons, and with a huge whistling sound, flew towards the countryside below the mountain. With just one round of firing from twenty guns, the entire artillery position was enveloped in the smoke generated by the firing of the shells.

"Yaga! It's a trap, spread out, spread quickly. After Fujimura finished shouting, he wanted to find a hidden place to avoid the shelling, and when the Japanese soldiers who were standing neatly heard the sound of shelling, they immediately showed their reaction as a well-trained soldier and quickly ran to a safe place, but no matter how fast they were, they couldn't get faster than the speed of the shells.

Twenty shells, as if with eyes, fell one after another in the crowd of Japanese soldiers. There was a huge explosion. Huge fireballs in the sky that had just lit up. Added a cloud of smoke. At the same time, several shells landed on the place where Ken Fujimura had just spoken. At once, dozens of Japanese soldiers around them who had not had time to retreat were blown into the sky.

As the screams of the Japanese puppet army sounded, one by one, the little devils and the puppet army were in the huge wave of air generated by the explosion of the shells. It's like a fallen leaf, constantly dancing in the air. If you are lucky, you will be able to leave a whole corpse behind when you land. The devil who is unlucky, when he flies into the sky, is still a complete corpse. However, when he landed. The whole body has turned into a pile of debris...

As soon as the sound of the artillery stopped, the heavy machine guns fired at the Japanese troops in the township, and no matter where the Japanese troops hid, they were quickly killed by the bullets of the independent regiment.

"Beautiful, this is the war, Lao Liu saw that this is the power of the cannon, we have been beaten by the cannons of the little devils in the customs before, and now we also have cannons, and there are only twenty or so guns with such power. What a spectacular scene it would be if there were hundreds of gates, the commander-in-chief used it once when he fought Heihe before, but unfortunately I didn't see it, one day. Our troops will also have it, and the trumpeter will blow the trumpet for me. ”

"Toot toot toot!"

The soldiers of the battalions and companies of the independent regiment rushed out of the ambush one after another, shooting and rushing at the devils at the township gate. The Japanese puppet army was attacked so violently and suddenly. I was at a loss for a moment and made a mess. Some have just reacted. I wanted to resist, but I was shot by the soldiers of the Independent Regiment. A life. When Wei Guifu, the deputy instructor of the Second Company, rushed down the mountain, he saw a Japanese machine gunner trying to aim and shoot, he flew up, kicked the machine gunner to the ground, and raised his gun to kill him.

There were less than 30 devils left in the entire battlefield, and this group of people saw the soldiers who kept rushing from the mountains and the soldiers who kept falling, and returned to the township under the leadership of the squadron leader Fujimura Ken to prepare to resist desperately with the houses of the people in the township, Fujimura Ken led the remnants of the Japanese army to just return to the place of shelling, and found that a team of nearly 100 people appeared in front of him, with the guns pointed at him.

"Little devils, you have been defeated, surrender!"

"Yaga! There are only warriors who die in battle, there are no cowards who surrender, if you are a real warrior, come up and fight me to the death, come! Fujimura shouted, holding the rifle in his hand with both hands (the command knife had been lost in the shelling just now).

Fujimura Ken stabbed the anti-United Nations soldier with a bayonet, and shouted: "Yayaya." Fujimura Ken is worthy of being a grassroots officer of the Japanese army who fought twice, and rushed over violently, only to see the general of the Anti-Japanese Union pick up the broadsword, and use the back of the knife to smash his bayonet to the left, his bayonet is crooked, and then there is a pullback, the broadsword uses the pullback force to slash from back to front, and then stabs forward, hits him, and then twists it hard.

"Ahh Fujimura's eyes widened, and he looked at him in disbelief.

"Lao Yang has you! You're doing a great job with this big knife, what kind of knife are you? ”

"You don't know! This knife technique is the 29th Army's broadsword team, I was ordered by the organization to work, I was a platoon commander of the 29th Army at that time, the knife method is called breaking the edge of the eight knives, the knife is decisive: the head-on big slash knife, drop the hand and wave horizontally to block the waist. The wind swept the autumn leaves, and the enemy could not escape. The stride is like a thunderstorm, and the chain of willows is cut obliquely. The left and right protection rely on the quick take, and the step is changed to the protruding bayonet. ”

"Your knife technique is so famous, why don't you take it out and show it, when this battle is over, I will find a blacksmith to beat him with a hundred and eighty big knives, and you will teach him when the time comes." Zhong Wei said excitedly.

"After all, Lao Zhong is now in the era of firearms, and this cold weapon can't be put on the table."

"What can't be put on the table, no matter what kind of weapon it is, it is a good weapon to kill devils, the commander-in-chief told me before that our fight is not as good as that of little devils, killing one little devil on average, we have to die two soldiers, if you learn your eight blades, then I don't know how many soldiers' lives can be saved, and secondly, you can exercise."

"Listen to you."

Speaking of the origins of the Japanese army's stabbing technique, although there is a unique weapon fighting technique called "kendo" that began to develop in the Middle Ages, it is still very different from the stabbing technique. Unlike in China, the bamboo spears used by the "ashigaru" during the Warring States period were despised by the samurai class, so the development of gunsmithing is impossible. In fact, for Japan, large-scale training in bayonet techniques and tactics still began at the end of the 19th century. In the Japanese Army after the Meiji Restoration, bayonet training was elevated to a high position, influenced by the French Army's tradition of emphasizing white-knuckle warfare (the first edition of the Infantry Code of Conduct issued in 1873 was translated from French). Especially during the Southwest War in 1877, the Saigo Army, which was proficient in melee combat and was dominated by middle and lower class samurai, had inflicted heavy casualties on government troops in white-knuckle warfare. In Shanghai in 1904, during the confrontational performance between the Japanese military swordsmanship team and the British Royal Navy's bayonet spear regiment, the Japanese side's well-designed and impeccable individual spear skills made a deep impression on the observers of various countries.

Compared with the Western powers, the Japanese army raised the role of the so-called "spiritual power" and will to an unrealistic level: emphasizing the offensive spirit and taking spiritual power as the main body of combat effectiveness; It was believed that the final victory could only be achieved by a bayonet assault, so the idea of "winning by hand-to-hand combat" was very popular among the top brass of the Japanese army at that time. This was of course due to the fact that Japan was still relatively backward in industrial and economic power compared to the Western powers of the time; However, the lack of sufficient understanding of the impact of the army's firepower on operations is also an important reason for the lack of sufficient understanding of the impact of the army's firepower on operations. The disastrous victory in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905 caused the Japanese army to rely one-sidedly on the so-called soldier assault strategy, and did not pay enough attention to the fact that rapid-fire firepower could change the shape of the battlefield. In addition, the brutal trench offensive and defensive battles in the European theater in World War I did not have an intuitive understanding for the Japanese army; What the Europeans saw as a "big war" was nothing more than a few easy victories for the Japanese in the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, in the infantry drill code of Showa 7 (1932), it was still emphasized that the overflowing spirit of attack could override the power of material, because in the fight with the Chinese army to win many victories, their self-confidence swelled, thinking that their Japanese Empire was invincible, and as a result, in the Battle of Nomenhan, they were hit by the fierce artillery fire of the Soviet Union, and the Kuomintang army except for the descendants of the ****** troops had sufficient bullets, and the other troops were holding a gun and a few bullets, and after a few minutes of fighting, There were no bullets and had to charge and fight bayonets, and the Soviet bullets were some, and the Japanese army still wanted to win by assassination, but they were used as a moving target by others, and they cried and called their mothers, and they no longer dared to go north.
