Chapter 998: Fatal Strike (Ask for Subscription!) )
After Lieutenant General Mori Gang, commander of the 9th Division, really began to attach importance to his opponent, the Japanese troops who stood in front of the position immediately showed their strong combat effectiveness in the field as if they had changed into a different person. //**//
The field artillery brigade, the mountain artillery brigade under the two wings, and the infantry artillery squads under the various infantry brigades, totaling more than 30 mountain artillery pieces of various calibers, with the support of sufficient ammunition, continued to pour ammunition into the position of the second regiment as if they did not want half of the money. In less than five minutes of the entire shelling, the three blocking positions defended by the 2nd Regiment were enveloped in smoke from the explosion of the shells.
However, even so, the more than 1,000 soldiers of the 2nd Regiment who held their positions did not pay too many casualties.
You must know that the blocking positions in front of you have been built under the constant guidance of countless special combat personnel, and they are not only reinforced with a large number of logs, but also sufficient to defend against 75-caliber field artillery attacks. More importantly, the entire blocking position was not just a straight line of trenches, as was usually the case, but like a huge sawtooth, twisting and turning. Even if a shell narrowly falls into the trench, at most only a few defending soldiers will be eliminated.
The fierce shelling, at the special request of Lieutenant General Mori Gang, did not stop for half an hour. The smoke that permeated the air over the blocking position of the Second Regiment had not yet dissipated. Two Japanese infantry squadrons, under the cover of heavy machine guns and mortars behind them, launched a new round of fierce attacks.
Perhaps there was a lesson from the first tentative assault on the annihilation of an infantry squadron, even with the half-hour-long artillery bombardment and the cover of fire from two heavy machine-gun squadrons behind it. More than 300 little devils with rifles still looked cautious, using what they had learned, hunched their waists, and constantly took advantage of the various terrain they encountered along the way, slowly moving towards the position of the second regiment.
Seeing the Japanese attacking troops showing strong combat effectiveness in front of them, they saw the subordinates in the trenches who had not yet reacted from the shelling just now. The head of the regiment, Zhang Zhongwen, had to speak.
"Brothers, look at the little devils in front of the position, even if there is artillery cover, these little devils are people who are afraid of death. Two hundred meters away from Lao Tzu's spirits, except for the rifleman, all the light and heavy machine guns have been hidden for me, don't kill the little devil grenadier with a gun. However, as long as the Japanese army enters two hundred meters, all light and heavy machine guns, don't give me ammunition to fight hard .... The platoon commanders of each company, set an example, and let the little devil in front of you know first that our second regiment is powerful..."
"Bang bang bang..." As soon as the words of the regiment commander Zhang Zhongwen fell, nearly 100 special combat members scattered in the middle of the entire second regiment pulled the trigger of the rifle in their hands at the first time, and then, when the Japanese troops on the opposite side had not yet reacted, they quickly retracted their heads and turned on their sides, and very neatly transferred to the next firing position, preparing for the second round of shooting...
Seeing his company platoon commander or even squad leader beside him, in the face of the menacing Japanese army, not only did he not have any panic, but he used his well-trained tactical movements to continuously kill the enemy. When they saw the Japanese attacking troops a few hundred meters away from the position, with the sound of messy gunfire just now, dozens of little devils suddenly fell on the charging road without saying a word. The soldier, who had just turned pale with a pale face, began to slowly regain his blood color under the encouragement of victory. Gripping the rifle in his hand, he began to shoot like this, even at this moment, his hands were still trembling a little because the fear in his heart had not been completely eliminated...
For a while, under the leadership of these special combat personnel, the gunfire on the blocking position, which was still sparse just now, slowly began to become dense. Most of the bullets fired by most of the three blocking positions were not accurate, but they were better than the bullets. Coupled with the accurate marksmanship of nearly 100 special combat personnel, the 300 Japanese soldiers responsible for the attack will fall at least one soldier for almost every meter of advancement. ..., of course, at the same time as the shooting, the 2nd Regiment also began to suffer casualties under the counterattack of Japanese light and heavy machine guns and riflemen.
One by one, the soldiers, who had forgotten to shift their firing positions because of their excitement, fell in a pool of blood under the counterattack of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns.
Dense bullets, you come and go on a small battlefield. The soldiers on both sides were shot one after another and fell to the ground.
However, because of the cover of the trenches and the precise strikes of nearly 100 special combat personnel, the casualties of the Second Regiment were significantly smaller.
"All light and heavy machine guns, don't save bullets, hit me hard..." Two infantry squadrons, after paying the price of one squadron, finally rushed to a position two hundred meters from the position of the 2nd Regiment. At this moment, dozens of light and heavy machine guns of the Second Regiment, which had just been holding back, at the same time, weaved an impermeable bullet net on the position.
In an instant, there are more than a hundred little devils, and there is only less than a squad left if they can continue to fight back... ̈
"Yaga, cunning Shina. Artillerymen, order the artillery to open fire at once, cover the positions in China, blow them all up, open fire immediately ...." The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Mori Gang, was still alive in front of the position. Ten of their own soldiers brazenly gave the order to open fire.
In an instant, the position of the Second Regiment, which had just erupted with scorching tongues of fire, was once again shrouded in artillery fire and gunsmoke.
The 9th Division of the Japanese Army, under the command of Lieutenant General Mori Gang, relied on the sharpness of artillery fire to attack the positions of the 2nd Regiment again and again. However, even so, the Japanese attacking troops did not break through to a position of fifty meters from the blocking position. Of course, in the face of several indiscriminate shelling by the Japanese army, Zhang Zhongwen's second regiment also paid the price of more than half of the casualties.
After several hours of attack, the Japanese army left nearly 1,000 corpses, and in the face of increasingly tired troops, they had to stop the attack and repair on the spot.
Of course, after the attack last night, even if the troops were repairing on the spot, various sentries and patrols were sent to a radius of two kilometers from the center of the station
And at this moment, Li Chengyao, the commander of the 1st Independent Division, also sensed from the battlefield that the time was coming to completely annihilate the remnants of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army.
With the issuance of one order after another, the sentries and patrols deployed by the Japanese army around the barracks immediately became the first assassination targets of hundreds of special combat personnel
After clearing the Japanese sentries blocking in front of him, the two main regiments did not hesitate at all, and quickly surrounded thousands of Japanese troops with equipment. At the same time, a very light and heavy machine gun and a mortar were also erected at the first time. Of course, the barrels and muzzles of the black holes, without exception, were all aimed at the Japanese barracks in the valley that were sitting on the ground for repair....
"Order the troops, immediately launch an attack, and compress the living space of the Japanese army. At the same time, it was important to advance the position to a distance of 100 meters from the Japanese troops. Then, dig trenches and surround them... ̈ "Rhee Seungtian ordered decisively.
"Da Da Da .... Boom boom boom...."
The sudden sound of dense gunfire around the barracks reminded the Japanese of the attack they had encountered last night for the first time. In an instant, the campsite, which had just been a peaceful campsite, immediately fell into a panic. The screams of the wounded soldiers, the roars of the officers, the sound of gunfire...
Although the fierce attack of the 1st Independent Division lasted only less than half an hour, it had to be stopped under the Japanese army's repeated desperate counterattacks. However, even so, the entire offensive achieved Rhee's intended goal.
The remnants of the entire Ninth Division, of more than 5,000 people, were already holding at the foot of the mountain relying on the road under the command of Lieutenant General Mori Gang, the commander of the division, under the command of the division commander. At the same time, the attacking units of the 1st Independent Division also dug offensive trenches less than 100 meters from the Japanese positions. ..., "It's almost, our killer weapon, it's time to play." Order, transport all the thunderbolts to the front line for assembly, and launch an attack half an hour later. Today, I want to leave all the remnants of the Ninth Division here..."Li Chengtian said with a firm face.
On the battlefield that was temporarily plunged into a short period of tranquility, thunderbolts made of gasoline cans were quickly erected with the help of sappers. At the same time, explosive packets weighing up to 10 kilograms were also tightly pressed against the bottom of the gasoline barrel. In less than half an hour, the 36 thunderbolts made by Lee Seungtian scraping all the gasoline barrels in the entire Hsinchu County were all ready and ready for launch....
"Boom, boom, boom..." Accompanied by a series of muffled explosions, it sounded over the positions of the 1st Independent Division. Thirty-six explosive packets, propelled by gunpowder, quickly flew out of the barrels converted from gasoline barrels. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it slowly flew towards the Japanese position a hundred meters away....
One second, two seconds .... Under the watchful eyes of all the officers and men of the 1st Independent Division, the explosive packets, which had turned into small black dots, finally landed on the Japanese position. At the same time, huge fireballs, accompanied by explosives packets, began to rise into the air over the Japanese positions.
Just when everyone looked at the fireball that rose into the air, they showed a shocked expression. The sound of explosions that shook the mountains one after another also reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield....
One after the other, although the Thunderbolt fires very slowly. However, the Japanese army, which had already fallen into shock, did not expect that in their eyes, the large-caliber artillery equipped by the Shina people would be deployed under their noses. When the Japanese army, which had been completely bombed, reflected from the shock, there was no way to thunder, and all the explosives bags they were carrying had already been fired...
The power of 360 explosives weighing 10 kilograms, that is, a full 3,600 kilograms of high explosives, exploded in a short period of time on a Japanese position of less than one square kilometer. It can be said that after the fatal blow of the thunder, there are not many people left in the Japanese position.
