Chapter 383: A Difficult Resistance Battle (Part II)
The Kwantung Army, the most elite of the army, was attacking, not like the garrison wing just now. There are so many flaws. Just when an elite infantry brigade, lined up in three loose but quite formed offensive formations, advanced to a distance of about 500 meters from the position, 12 heavy machine guns from a heavy machine gun squadron attached to the brigade immediately began to look for suitable terrain and set it up.
At the same time, 12 heavy machine guns, under the command of a lieutenant squadron leader, began to cling to the edge of the trench that the soldiers had just piled up, less than half a meter, and carried out frantic fire suppression and strafing, providing the most basic fire support for the infantry of their own brigade.
In the face of the sophisticated Kwantung Army troops, Xu Bin, the commander of the fourth regiment, knew that if these little devils were put closer, they would fight. With the density of their firepower and the ubiquitous grenadier firepower, it is impossible for them to stop the charge of this brigade of imps. So, just when the army advanced to a distance of 300 meters from the position. As the front-line commander, Xu Bin did not hesitate to fire the first shot of the blocking battle.
A dense platoon of guns mixed with the strafing sound of light and heavy machine guns sounded on the position, and the platoon of troops charging at the front suddenly fell nearly 100 soldiers in the face of the sudden dense firepower. However, when the guns rang out on the position. Most of the soldiers had reflexively lying on the ground, and the soldiers on the position began to shoot at each other.
At the same time, a gate grenadier began to pour grenades one after another into the firing points on the position, also under the influence of the little devils. "Boom, boom, boom" An explosion sounded, and the three heavy machine guns that were spraying dense tongues of fire at the Yue army were immediately hit, and together with several machine gunners around them, they turned into a pile of ruins.
"Damn, the little devil's grenadier is really accurate. Ordered all light and heavy machine guns to shoot no more than ten seconds at a machine-gun position, and to change positions with a shuttle, and hurry up." The regiment commander Xu Bin couldn't help but be annoyed, and ordered loudly to the heralds beside him.
With the order of the regimental commander, although the grenadiers of the army were also very rampant. However, the hit rate was significantly lower, and it was rare for light and heavy machine guns to be destroyed along with the machine gunners. However, this also created a serious shortage of firepower on their own positions. After losing most of their firepower, a squadron of heavy machine guns that was covering the army immediately rained more bullets at itself. Suddenly, the riflemen, who had just been shooting with their rifles, were immediately so crushed that they could not lift their heads, let alone shoot.
"The warriors of this empire, the Eighth Route Army wants to annihilate our artillery units. If we don't have artillery fire support, we will be bombarded by the intensive artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army in the next battle. Kill me, kill and give, and save our artillery units. "Seeing the firepower on the position of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, it was completely suppressed by its own heavy machine guns and grenadiers. The captain of the Yue Army who led the team immediately seized this favorable opportunity and ordered loudly to the imperial soldiers lying on the ground beside him.
"Kill and give" more than 700 little devils. At the sound of the captain's command, he got up from the ground at the same time. Bending as far as he could, reducing the area of his possible bullets, he held up the rifle with the bayonet already loaded in his hand, passed over the corpses of more than a hundred soldiers who had been killed in battle, and once again charged the position.
"Comrades, give me a hard blow, and you must block the charge of the army. Otherwise, the entire battle plan will be destroyed because of our four regiments, and the lives of the 20,000 soldiers of our direct column will also be wiped out by the army because of our carelessness. All the [***] members of the whole regiment will give me first, and after the [***] members have finished, the members of the Communist Youth League will continue to give me them, in a word, that is, to fight all our four regiments, but also to block the charge of the little devils. "I saw that the soldiers of my own troops, under the suppression of the intensive fire of the army, were all in the trenches. The remaining more than 700 little devils took advantage of this opportunity to advance a distance of nearly 100 meters again, and the head of the regiment, Xu Bin, couldn't help but shout loudly.
At the same time, he quickly stretched out his head from the trench and pulled the trigger on a squadron leader who had been aiming at him for a long time. Then, before he had time to look at his results, he retracted his head. And just as he was retracting his head, a shuttle machine gun bullet hit the edge of the trench in front of him.
However, on the entire position, with the order of the regiment commander, I saw the regiment commander who had just taken the risk. Coupled with the party members and cadres around him, they showed their heads one after another and began to shoot. The soldiers in the trenches finally showed a trace of murderous aura on their faces. Ignoring the bullets flying above his head, he poked out his head, raised the rifle in his hand, and began to shoot accurate bullets at the oncoming army.
The comrades around him were shot and fell, but they still did not hesitate and continued to shoot. The machine gunner fell, and the assistant shooter immediately rushed forward, hugged his comrades who had fallen on the machine gun, grabbed a stiff light and heavy machine gun, and continued to shoot. Use your own flesh and blood to resist the bullets of the little devils.
Although, such a blockade, the casualties of the fighters were very huge. The corpses of the warriors who had just died were constantly being carried down. However, the army also paid a heavy price. In the calm and accurate shooting of the soldiers, a little devil fell on the way to the charge.
Just when the army was still 50 meters away from the entire position, on the way of the army's charge, nearly 200 corpses of little devils had fallen one after another. However, in the face of the corpses behind him, look at the 500 Imperial warriors left in front of him. The captain of the army did not have any intention of retreating.
Because he was confident that he could rely on the remaining 500 people to break through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front of him and connect with the artillery unit and the baggage unit.
"The warriors of the empire, the position of the Eighth Route Army is in front of us, rush forward, and use the bayonets in our hands to tell them that the imperial army of this empire is invincible. Kill to give," the captain waved the command knife in his hand and shouted loudly again.
"Kill to give" more than 500 little devils, almost at the same time shouted. Raising the rifle in his hand, he once again quickened the pace of the charge. At the same time, he began to prepare grenades in his hand and prepared them for throwing.
"Comrades, throw grenades and prepare to charge" just when more than 500 little devils, thinking that victory was at hand. A roar came from the opposite position. Immediately afterwards, I saw countless grenades, one after another, flying out of the positions of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, and smashing them towards their own troops.
"Baga, it's a grenade, boom boom" A dense grenade explosion sounded on the battlefield, and the more than 100 little devils who charged at the front were all wiped out without accident. At the same time, just as the remaining Japanese troops, with the help of the smoke from the grenade explosion, were ready to continue the charge. On the position dozens of meters away, a loud charge horn sounded.
"Tick tick comrades, rush" The loud trumpet of the charge, the shouts of the soldiers immediately reached the ears of the remaining little devils. The remaining more than 1,000 fighters on the position, armed with rifles with bayonets and light machine guns, rushed out of their trenches under the cover of the smoke from the explosion of the grenade, and launched a counter-charge against the current more than 400 little devils.
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is very cunning, and there is gunpowder smoke from the explosion of a grenade, blocking our view. However, the Imperial Army of the Great Empire is invincible in the world in terms of stabbing. With just these more than 1,000 Chinese soldiers, how could they be the opponents of our Imperial Army. Order, all the Imperial soldiers immediately withdraw their bullets and prepare for the stab. Use the bayonets in your hands to tell the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side that the Imperial Army is invincible. "I saw the troops of the Eighth Route Army rushing towards their troops with bright bayonets. The captain of the army did not show any panic, but gave the battle order with a confident face.
However, just when more than 500 little devils, under the command of the captain and the squadron leaders of each squad, quickly withdrew the bullets in the chamber of the gun, formed a stabbing formation, and prepared for the stabbing process. The Eighth Route Army, which had rushed out of its position, had already raised the bayonet in its hand and rushed to a distance of less than twenty meters from its own troops. It only takes a few seconds for two troops to collide with each other. However, at this moment, the unexpected happened.
"Comrades, fire at me" More than a thousand fighters, in the incredible eyes of the little devil, raised their rifles, machine guns, and fired the last bullet in the chamber of their guns at their own close proximity. "Bang bang da" A dense rifle sound mixed with the strafing sound of machine guns resounded in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army. Dense bullets, just before these little devils could react from the shock, shot into their bodies.
"Baga, you warriors are not Bage Yalu" Immediately, a soldier's screams and scolding sounded on the position of the army. Almost a squadron of Yue Jun, with a hint of unwillingness, fell in the dense rain of bullets.
And the little devil in the back, seeing the soldiers in front of him, fell in a pool of blood one after another. At the same time, the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side actually violated the rules of fighting and opened fire on itself. Suddenly, the stabbing formation, which was still neat just now, immediately fell into chaos. One by one, the little devils began to curse at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were getting closer and closer.
Still, the warriors don't care so much. I saw that after a round of blows by myself, there was only about one squadron of little devils left. Without any hesitation, he immediately rushed towards the army in front of him.
"Killing" a soldier who had already killed the red-eyed, and with a burst of shouts of killing, like a tiger descending from the mountain, they rushed into the chaotic formation of the army, and stabbed a bright bayonet into the stomach of the little devil. Immediately, the clashing of bayonets, the screams of soldiers were incessant, and began to sound in the positions.
Because the soldiers had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, in the face of more than 200 little devils, it only took less than ten minutes to wipe them all out and quickly withdraw from the battlefield. As the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield dissipated, the bloody hand-to-hand combat battlefield just now was deserted at this time. I could only see the corpse of a little devil and a bayonet wiped in the stomach of the army. One by one, the military flags of the Yue Army, which were destroyed by the soldiers, told the commander of the Yue Army Brigade about the tragedy of the battle just now.
"The cunning Eighth Route Army. Order the artillery to bombard me, I must blow up the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side to the bones, I want to avenge the jade broken imperial warriors, Bage Yalu. "I saw that I had an elite infantry brigade, except for a heavy machine gun squadron, and the remaining more than 800 soldiers were all killed on the way to the charge. The commander of the brigade, who had been observing the entire battlefield, couldn't help but roar loudly at the wing commander beside him.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander. Now our artillery is under siege by the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, and it is simply impossible to provide us with artillery support. Listening to the brigade commander's angry words, the wing commander next to him replied loudly, although his face was also full of shock.
"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army. Ordered the second brigade to give me to continue the attack. The offensive must not be stopped. For the sake of the next battle, our artillery and baggage units must not suffer any losses. Eight-grid tooth road. The brigade commander who reacted from the words of the wing commander in front of him could only squeeze his fists fiercely and command loudly at the wing commander beside him.
Although the first attack of the Japanese army paid the price of more than 800 soldiers. However, the four regiments that held the position also paid a heavy price. Because from the beginning of the whole battle, the fighters had to face the dense heavy machine gun fire suppression of the Japanese army.
Therefore, in the process of blocking, two companies and more than 300 soldiers were lost. More than a hundred people were lost in the process of adding the stab. In less than 20 minutes of blocking battle, the entire fourth regiment lost almost 500 troops, almost a quarter of the entire regiment.
However, at this time, there was no time for the regiment commander Xu Bin to review the specific experience in the blocking battle just now. Because, the second attack launched by the army has come. It was another more sinister blocking battle, which needed to be faced by all the officers and men of the entire Fourth Regiment.
However, just when the Yue army launched the second attack, the artillery cluster commanded by Liu Hua had already finished shelling the artillery units and baggage units of the Yue army for ten minutes. In the space of ten minutes, thousands of shells fell on this section of the road, almost covering the entire section of the road.
As far as the eye can see, the whole stretch of the road. One by one, the artillery and the heavy trucks fell on the road. More than half of the trucks were ignited and exploded in the shelling, and they were burning brightly.
As for the several thousand soldiers of the artillery unit and the baggage unit, plus the garrison wing that served as the protection, there were more than 8,000 troops in several garrison brigades. After just dense artillery fire, more than half of the losses have been made. The rest of the soldiers, all lying in the grass on the side of the road, dodging the shells that might fall.
"Order the troops to start attacking, and they must eliminate the thousands of little devils left in the encirclement in the shortest possible time. Now that the wings are fighting more and more fiercely, we have to hurry. Standing in the command headquarters, looking at the messy battlefield after the shelling, and hearing the increasingly dense gunfire and explosions coming from both wings of the encirclement, Liu Hua did not hesitate and ordered loudly.
"Tick Tick Tick" With the issuance of Liu Hua's order, more than a dozen trumpeters who had already gathered outside the headquarters sounded the trumpet of the charge at the same time. The loud sound of the charge quickly spread to every corner of the entire battlefield.
"Comrades, rush," a commander roared when he heard the sound of the trumpet, and was the first to cross the trench and charge the highway that was constantly emitting black smoke.
The charging companies, with their commanders as arrows, were like sharp swords, and quickly rushed towards the road. However, the thousands of Japanese troops who had already fallen into the encirclement suffered heavy losses despite the artillery fire just now. However, in the face of the charge of the five main regiments of the direct column, there was no fear.
Instead, he quickly got up from the ground, and with the help of the artillery on the road and the heavy wagons as cover, he began to shoot a dense rain of bullets at the soldiers. At the same time, a stiff light and heavy machine gun and a mortar that had not been blown up began to be erected by the surviving Japanese army to resist.
"Boom, boom Although the offensive of the fighters was very fierce. However, with a large number of weapons and ammunition on the baggage truck, the little devil constantly used a dense rain of bullets to block the fighters' attacks again and again.
Gradually, the soldiers of the entire five regiments that were responsible for the attack were all blocked by the Japanese army. The two sides of the centaurs, a hundred meters apart, began to shoot at each other.
