Chapter 64: The Battle of Zhengcun (4)
Aoki Saburo gave an order, and nearly 200 devil soldiers of the second squadron rushed out of the attack position with guns, and the more than 100 devils who survived the fifth squadron also rushed towards the north position of the village as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
He was eager to immediately capture the position of the task force, and then rush into the village and slaughter indiscriminately, avenging the more than fifty warriors of the Imperial Army who had just been killed by the minefield.
"Brothers, it's time to give the little devil some more color and see, it was just an appetizer just now, and then it's the real battle, light and heavy machine guns listen to my orders, fire together, and beat him up badge!" In the trenches, Jiang Haidong pulled the bolt of his gun and commanded in a deep voice.
The Type 92 heavy machine gun that had been hidden also lifted its camouflage, revealing the muzzle of the black hole, as if it was a bloody beast, and it had already opened its bloody mouth, waiting for the arrival of the devil.
Several Type 92 heavy machine guns on the devil's position began to roar, trying to provide fire cover for their own attacking troops, and from time to time bullets whizzed over the heads of Jiang Haidong and the soldiers.
Everyone was unmoved, and they clenched the steel guns in their hands one after another, waiting for Jiang Haidong's order.
When nearly 400 devils swarmed in the Japanese army and rushed to about 100 meters away from their trench, Jiang Haidong was the first to shoot, shot a devil soldier Cao, and shouted: "Beat me hard, fuck me!" ”
The trenches in the north of the village, which had been silent for a long time, erupted again into dense gunfire, and this time not only more than a dozen light machine guns opened fire, but also the Type 92 heavy machine guns, forming a large dense network of firepower.
Any Devil Soldiers who tried to rush further fell under the cover of the fire net, and in the trenches, the riflemen opened fire at any time of their choice, shooting the Devil Soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the machine gun fire.
Among them, more than a dozen sharpshooters even specialized in shooting machine gunners and grenadiers of those devils, which greatly suppressed the firepower of the devils.
Looking at the sudden change, the subordinates in charge of the attack fell one by one, and the two old devils, Aoki Saburo and Nakagawa Ichiro, were angry.
"Yaga Tooth Road! What's going on? Could it be that all the shells of the artillery squadron hit the sky? Why, instead of weakening their firepower in the slightest, they have intensified? Saburo Aoki roared angrily.
Nakagawa Ichiro didn't blame his artillery squadron, but held a telescope to carefully observe the battlefield situation, but the sight in his eyes made his heart feel as uncomfortable as blood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
Because the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army, which had been invincible in the past, were now suffering an almost one-sided slaughter, and countless Imperial soldiers fell one after another under the powerful fire of the Shina people.
Nakagawa Ichiro couldn't figure out why the Imperial Army's light machine gun fire and grenadier fire had lost the breeze of the past, and they were unable to provide effective fire support for the attacking troops in the slightest.
Frowning, Nakagawa Ichiro said to Aoki Saburo: "Aoki-kun, I think it shouldn't be that the artillery bombardment didn't work, could it be that the people of China sent reinforcements from other directions in the village, and I immediately sent two squadrons to attack from the east and west directions at the same time, so that the onslaught on three sides will definitely make the people of China difficult to take care of."
It shouldn't be a problem to take the village. ”
"Yo Xi, what you said makes sense, so let's do it." Saburo Aoki nodded happily.
In the village, Liu Ruhan was also stunned by the situation on the battlefield, and muttered, "How is this possible? The Japanese artillery fire was so fierce just now, why did the resistance force in the north of the village become stronger than weak? ”
"Of course, it's the credit of the underground tunnels, otherwise, what do you think I'm spending money and material resources on these underground tunnels? This is the beginning, the show is still to come, wait and see, Miss Liu! Qiao Youhua flicked out the cigarette butt he had smoked, turned around and left.
"Hey, where are you going?" Liu Ruhan said.
"I'm thirsty, of course I'm going back to the headquarters to drink water." After Qiao Youhua finished speaking, he strode towards the headquarters.
"Hey, make no mistake, the Japanese are attacking in a big way, alas, you are still so easy." Liu Ruhan muttered a little dissatisfied and chased after him.
"I trust my brothers and my soldiers, so there's nothing to worry about."
…………
The devil's attack from the east and west ended in a fiasco, as Qiao Youhua expected.
It turned out that when the devils of these two squadrons quietly moved to the east and west of the village, Wu Ming and Ma Biao commanded all their soldiers to hide in the trenches and do not move.
All the light and heavy firepower were fired together, and the riflemen threw grenades in unison, causing the little devils to cry and cry for their mothers, suffering heavy casualties, and finally leaving nearly half of the corpses in a hasty retreat.
"Sir, the attacks on the east and west sides have all failed!" A Japanese adjutant came to Saburo Aoki and Ichiro Nakagawa with a panicked look on his face and saluted and reported.
At this time, the Japanese frontal attack in the north of the village also failed, and the two squadrons of nearly 400 Japanese troops were killed and wounded in less than an hour, and returned with a heavy defeat.
Ichiro Aoki, who was angry, turned around and gave the adjutant a slap: "Baga Yalu, a group of rice buckets!" ”
All three attacks failed, and Ichiro Nakagawa and Saburo Aoki were forced to stop their attacks.
After the Japanese army reported the resumption of artillery bombardment, Zhengcun, which had been fighting fiercely for about two hours, finally calmed down again.
The temporary headquarters of the Japanese army was set up on the armored car, and at this time, the door of the armored car was open, and Aoki Saburo and Nakagawa Ichiro were sitting on the side of the car with sabers in their hands, their faces were extremely solemn.
The battle was not as smooth as they expected, but they suffered enough, two hours, nearly 200 casualties, according to this casualty rate, it only took ten hours of continuous fierce fighting, and their encirclement and suppression army could be completely exhausted.
"Nakagawa-kun, it seems that we underestimate the enemy here, they are definitely not ordinary anti-Japanese forces, especially their commanders, they are definitely high-level military talents who have undergone good military training and training, and their tactical command level is quite outstanding." After forcing himself to calm down, Saburo Aoki analyzed with a blushing face.
Nakagawa Ichiro nodded in agreement: "That's right, their fortifications are well-constructed, they are very particular about light and heavy firepower, and they also cunningly set up minefields in front of the position, and we will cause such a big loss if we underestimate the enemy for a while." ”
"However, what surprised me the most was that they could be safe and sound under such a fierce shelling by the imperial army, and their strength was not hit at all, what is going on? Their trenches must be quirky! Nakagawa Ichiro continued.
"No matter what, in this battle, we must not lose, otherwise you and I will become a disgrace to the military circles in North China, no matter what, we will take Zhengcun, and when the troops are rested, I will organize a death squad to break through the positions of the Zhina people and annihilate them all!" Saburo Aoki said with a fierce look in his eyes.
