Chapter 404: Ambush on the Shore
Dressed in withered grass, lying on the shore less than a few dozen meters from the shore, the soldiers couldn't help but turn their heads and sneak a glance behind them, it was really a horror.
Hundreds of shells smashed down in one breath, and the entire tomb mountain seemed to be ploughed over, and the coffins of the ancestors buried deep in the ground were torn apart one by one, and the burial items and bones inside were blown to pieces.
"My good man, if we ambush here, I'm afraid we'll all be crushed at this time, right?"
"It's still a powerful brigade, and it actually let us go directly to the riverside to ambush the little devils in the withered grass!"
"Don't talk, the Japanese army is coming!"
The Japanese army did come up, and it was less than a hundred meters away from them.
The Japanese began to go into the water, dragging their boats up, one after another, stepping on the mud, and trudging to the shore with difficulty.
"What are the little devils doing, people just come over, and they still drag the boat, isn't this asking for their own hardship?"
"Shut up, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand, the little devil wants to put the boat on the mud, and then go ashore directly from the boat, this time it is much faster to step on the mud and go ashore."
"You're still well-informed, amazing!"
"Awesome fart, have you ever participated in the landing operation to block the Japanese army?"
"No, I was a little injured at that time, and I didn't make it to ......"
"You're hurt?" The company commander asked with a strange look in his eyes.
"I stunned the little devil's shell, and I lay in the health team for two days, and now my brain is still a little confused." The warrior smirked.
"I said, let's fight for a while, be careful, the devil's cannonball is not a New Year's cannonball, you have also seen it, the mass grave behind us, the nest of the ancestors have been put away." The company commander said softly.
"Just avenge your ancestors!"
The Japanese moved quickly, apparently having been drilled before, and in less than five minutes, two convenient landing passages leading to the shore were set up by boats.
With easy access. Some heavy equipment can also be brought ashore, otherwise, carrying this heavy equipment, it will not be thought of getting stuck in the mud.
I have to say. The Japanese army was quite skilled at the work of grabbing the beach and landing.
Stone Buddha Temple, Luo Yufeng temporarily set up his headquarters here, the temple is not big, and there are few monks. It also saved trouble, this was originally the alternate location of the river defense headquarters, and even the telephone line was connected, of course, the switchboard was not connected.
As long as there is a company, Luo Yufeng can contact the battalion-level command of any river defense position through the switchboard, thanks to the Japanese, they did not pay attention to these.
Otherwise, if these telephone lines are discovered, they will definitely be dismantled, of course. Maybe not, they will use these river fortifications one day, so they will keep them.
The Stone Buddha Temple is less than 1.5 kilometers away from the Tomb Mountain River, and only one kilometer away from the river fortifications.
Twenty minutes ago, Leng Feng called and ordered him to withdraw from the river fortifications and approach the river in concealment, and he thought he had misheard.
Withdrawing the fortifications at this time, isn't that the same as letting the Japanese army go ashore, and the Japanese army went ashore. There is no danger to defend, and Pukou is dangerous.
Engage the enemy on the shore of concealment, where there is hardly any shelter, and the casualties in this fight will be very large.
I don't understand. However, he still ordered a regiment to carry out this order, and withdrew a company of the supplementary brigade in the river fortifications directly to a distance of 500 meters to build improvised fortifications.
The saturation of the Japanese shelling made him break out in a cold sweat.
He finally understood, Leng Feng's order, let the group escape a catastrophe, just now the Japanese covering artillery bombardment, especially the heavy artillery attack on the Japanese warship.
Just rely on the defensive power of this river fortification. I'm afraid I can't resist it, and the casualties will be large.
During the 10-minute bombardment, Ushijima, who was standing on the bow deck of the "Jiangfeng," went back and forth to the shore with a telescope, and the warship had a very deep draft, so it could only stop in the middle of the river and cautiously move to the shore.
It is now a dry period, although the Japanese army knows more about the water ripples of the Yangtze River than the Chinese themselves, but they cannot be careless, you know, this is not their territory.
Underwater is also not a place where they can control freely.
"They are already preparing to land, and at least two-thirds of the river fortifications of the Shina Army have been destroyed by us, Yoshikawa-kun, you see." Ushijima was very satisfied with the bombardment, and handed the telescope to Captain Yoshikawa beside him.
"Yes, yes, Ushijima-kun, your army's movements are still a little slower, look at our navy, it's already ashore!" Yoshikawa Shaozo said with some smugness.
Ushijima didn't have any expression, of course he knew about the dispute between the navy and the army, but now was not the time to fight, and the landing battle was the army's home field.
Although this time the Navy also sent a squadron of marines to assist, saying that it was to take revenge, it was just to share some combat achievements.
"Tuanfu, the Japanese army is coming up, this little devil in black clothes doesn't seem to be the same?" Adjutant Niu, who was lying beside Ding Yiming of the 381st regiment, asked.
"That's the Japanese Marine Corps." Ding Yiming fought in the Songhu War of Resistance, so he naturally knew that the first Japanese soldiers to rush up were Japanese marines wearing navy blue uniforms.
"What are the Marines?"
"It's a force that fights on land." Ding Yiming didn't know how to explain it, just take it literally.
"Don't move, if anyone is exposed in advance, I'll kill him when I go back!" Ding Yiming ordered viciously.
The orders were conveyed one by one through gestures, and soon, the officers and men of the first battalion received the order, and the efficiency was very fast.
The Japanese army did not notice it at all, less than a hundred meters from the shore, you seem to be in a mess of grass, but you have an elite army in ambush.
Of course, there is only one battalion, Luo Yufeng is not stupid enough to put the whole regiment by the river, just such a large area, it is enough to put one battalion.
The Japanese began a massive landing, and the Japanese marines, who first arrived on the shore, took a short break to check their carry-on equipment.
In just a minute or two, they began to pounce on the shore.
Presented in a skirmish attack formation, although the landing area on the shore had been ploughed by shells for ten minutes, it was still not possible to be careless, at least, in accordance with the prescribed attack formation.
"Ready!" In this battle, Ding Yiming personally led the team to command.
Fifty meters, forty meters......
Approaching thirty meters, Ding Yiming pulled the trigger on the chest of a Japanese Marine soldier who was walking in front with a gun, and shouted: "Fight!" ”
In the grass. Countless blue-gray figures lifted their camouflage, the pitch-black muzzles were aimed at the landing Japanese troops, and the light and heavy machine guns opened fire fiercely, and the gunshots suddenly rang out.
Da Da ......
Hundreds of tongues of fire were aimed at the Japanese and sprayed away. This sudden attack caused the unsuspecting Japanese troops to lose dozens of men at once.
The Japanese marines who rushed to the front were the worst, they had only one squadron, and in order to grab the merit, they sent a third of their men and horses at once. More than a dozen were killed and wounded.
The Japanese army was also well-trained, and when they encountered a sudden attack, they did not panic, and quickly lay down and raised their guns to return fire.
The Japanese troops who did not land also raised their guns and shot at each other, and for a time the gunfire was loud, and the fighting was extremely fierce!
Doo!
Four mortars were behind the position of the first battalion, aiming at the Japanese ships still on the river, and the shells fell in the dense boats, and the explosions continued.
It was supposed to be gathered together to prepare for the landing. It's good now, it's become a target for others.
The Japanese had no way to set up artillery on the ship, so they could only use machine guns to return fire, which did not pose a threat to the first battalion on the shore at all, but the four Maxim heavy machine guns erected by the first battalion were directly aimed at the Japanese ships on the water, and the Japanese soldiers were like blood gourds.
The foul water of the river turned red in an instant.
"Disperse, ......disperse," ordered one of the captains of the Japanese landing, in a fit of rage, as the ships gathered. The enemy's guns don't even need to be aimed, they can be inflicted heavy losses.
"What's going on, the landing is blocked?" Ushijima immediately felt that something was wrong when he heard the gunshot, and picked up the binoculars to look. Immediately gasped in shock.
The Chinese army was actually lying in ambush on the bank of the river, how did they know that they would land here?
What's going on, did the landing plan leak?
No, it was never possible, he personally drew up the plan for the landing, before sending out the troops. Only a few people know about it, and those few people will never reveal the plan.
There must be something wrong with it, otherwise, how did the people of China know that he would lead an army to attack this place at this time?
Could it be that the people of China are unpredictable prophets?
Impossible, there must be other reasons, in Yuxikou, didn't he also encounter a similar situation?
The landing was blocked, and the Japanese troops were suddenly pushed back to the water from the shore, and those who did not have time to escape to the ship were shot one by one, especially some Japanese soldiers, who panicked and tried to wade out of the mud, but as a result, they were deeply stuck in the mud, unable to move, and were mercilessly shot.
Seeing the Japanese landing force retreating, Ding Yiming stood up and shouted: "Kill!" ”
The Japanese thought that the squadron was going to rush down and chase them, but who knew that these Chinese soldiers rushed to the shore, just fired a few shots at their boats, and then quickly retreated along the river bank to both sides, and disappeared into the vast grass in the blink of an eye.
The Japanese soldiers who watched the drift to the center of the river were stunned one by one, not knowing what was going on.
Of course, before retreating, the officers and men of the first battalion also set a fire and burned down the two landing passages on the mud built by the Japanese army.
The Japanese artillery fire soon covered the Tomb Hill position again, this time not the original river fortifications, but the place where the first battalion had just laid an ambush.
If the first battalion had remained, it was estimated that not many people would have survived the shelling.
The Japanese were mad, but even if they ploughed the grave again, they would not be able to hurt a single hair of the battalion, because the people were hiding in the two big pits that had been dug.
When the Japanese army was preparing to land again, the officers and men of the first battalion made a detour to their original positions, and this time there were craters left by the Japanese shelling, which happened to be used as individual bunkers.
There is no suspense in the battle.
The Japanese army landed twice, wasted hundreds of shells, and actually lost nearly 200 people without going ashore, this is a sneak attack under the suppression of absolute power, Ushijima was full of anger and almost broke his two front teeth, the Chinese army was too cunning, they were able to ambush twice in one place, and he was so stupid that he took the initiative to send it.
