Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 323 Lure the Enemy
Yu Chengyi gritted his teeth and was about to take out a pistol to shoot, when suddenly several grenades flew from the rear, one left and one right, falling to the front of the position.
Yu Cheng could clearly see the horror on the faces of the Japanese soldiers, and after a burst of gunsmoke, the Japanese soldiers were covered in blood and fell to the ground.
On the front-line position mixed with pillboxes and machine gun bunkers, grenades were thrown on the heads of the Japanese soldiers like raindrops, and then, the sound of "da-da" shooting came from the trenches next to them, and the heavy rain swept through, and suddenly, a large area of the Japanese troops in front was swept away by submachine gun bullets.
Zhou Juncheng led the vanguard of the three regiments to arrive just in time, shooting with submachine guns, and the dense bullets swept towards the Japanese army like a violent wind, and the strong and powerful counterattack stunned the Japanese army, and the situation on the battlefield quickly reversed.
Behind the Japanese charging formation, Japanese officers at all levels brandished long knives to drive away the devil soldiers to continue the attack.
With a muffled "bang", a bag of explosives flew out from the rear of the position, shooting towards the densest part of the Japanese formation
"Boom-"
Violent explosions rang out one after another, and the Japanese troops were blown up on their backs, and the flying thunder artillery almost emptied the Japanese troops at the front of the position, and the remaining Japanese soldiers struggled to retreat to the rear.
Yu Cheng was exhausted, leaning against the inner wall of the bunker, gasping for air.
Reinforcements had arrived, and the Japanese army, which had been about to be covered by Cheng Cheng and his reconnaissance company like a rising tide, had now been counterattacked, and had receded like a receding sea.
Yanagawa Heisuke, who was on the bridge of the battleship "Hiei", looked at the Japanese troops who were shot back with the help of binoculars, and his face tended to be solemn. From beginning to end, he watched the performance of the officers and men of the New Second Division, and had to admit that such a unit was indeed worthy of being an opponent of the Imperial Japanese Army.
Yanagawa Heisuke turned around and instructed the chief of staff, Rear Admiral Tado Moritake: "Pass my order, and the fleet artillery group will cover the deep position of Shina for ten minutes...... Order the carrier-based bombers on the aircraft carrier 'Ryuchō,] to prepare for takeoff and assist in the attack of the Yamamoto wing"
"Hay—"
Yamamoto Shigetsu Nakasa picked more than a dozen unlucky people among the first Japanese soldiers to retreat to enforce military law, and after receiving Yanagawa Heisuke's order, Yamamoto Shigetsu looked towards the Chinese defenders in front of him, and with the lesson of the previous time, he swore that he would not make another mistake.
"Bang bang—"
The Japanese fleet artillery group once again exerted its might, and the deafening sound made Yamamoto Shigeto feel that the sky was falling, and then looking at the already crumbling bunker fortification group in front of him, it was under the heavy artillery fire, and more than ten places collapsed one after another.
Two two-winged 95 ships and six 96 ships roared over the heads of Yamamoto Shigetsu and rushed towards the pillbox fortifications in front.
Yamamoto Shigetsu pulled out his saber, pulled his throat, and shouted, "Kill and give"
Seeing the help of aircraft and artillery, the Japanese army, whose morale had just suffered a setback and became depressed, seemed to have taken an aphrodisiac, and their spirit was full of energy.
This time, Yamamoto Shigetsu dispatched two brigades, led by commanders at all levels, to attack Zhou Juncheng's regiment like crazy. The infantry guns and heavy machine guns mounted on the rear positions suppressed the fire of the Chinese troops to the death, until the officers and men of Zhou Juncheng's regiment could not raise their heads.
Lu Kuiyuan gently brushed aside the thatch blocking the front and observed carefully.
This time, the Japanese army dispatched nearly half of its troops to attack the fortified positions, and the crowd of black pressure desperately charged forward, while the officers and men of Zhou Juncheng's regiment could only use a small number of light machine guns and rifles to counterattack in order to achieve the effect of luring the enemy into depth, and struggled to support them.
"Brothers, pay attention, after we attacked, we specially interspersed with the Japanese army's joint to disrupt the rhythm of the Japanese army's attack, and take advantage of the chaos to win" Lu Kuiyuan turned around and whispered to the back.
"It's the battalion commander, the brothers have been waiting impatiently for a long time," Lei Peng in the back grinned.
"Good"
Lu Kuiyuan nodded, and like the officers and soldiers of the other spy companies, he silently checked the ammunition, ready to take the little devil by surprise.
At the same time, Zhou Juncheng's regiment was also preparing, but the order he conveyed to his subordinates was to prepare for retreat.
In the predetermined plan, Zhou Juncheng's regiment had to lure the enemy to the designated ambush site without causing heavy casualties, which really considered Zhou Juncheng's wisdom.
Zhou Juncheng patted the steel helmet on his head and shook off the dirt and concrete stones on it. The salvo of Japanese naval guns was really powerful, the top of this semi-hidden fortification was as thick as one meter, and it was specially reinforced with steel rails, but it was still difficult to resist the power of a single cannon, and the fortifications collapsed by nearly half.
Fortunately, the fortifications on this line were all built by the new Second Division with quality and quantity, otherwise the people hiding in the fortifications would have turned into a pile of meat and mud.
"Regiment commander, the Japanese army is coming," Bai Xiaowang, the commander of the first battalion on the side, reminded in a low voice.
Zhou Juncheng leaned over to the lookout of the bunker and carefully observed the situation outside. Suddenly, a tiger pounced on the guards on the side and knocked Zhou Juncheng away, Zhou Juncheng, who was knocked to the ground, only felt dizzy, and when he looked at the original position, the fist-sized lookout has become a large hole that can accommodate people to drill in and out, and the concrete blocks on the surface were all collapsed, exposing the steel bars wrapped in the middle.
It turned out that there were special people in the Japanese army looking for the light reflected by the telescope, and when he observed just now, the Japanese army was already alert and notified the artillery position. As soon as he showed up at this time, he immediately came with a two-gun salvo, and Zhou Juncheng was lucky to have escaped death.
Bai Xiaowang hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhou Juncheng up, but the guards who fell on him were motionless.
Bai Xiaowang's voice was a little choked: "Regiment leader, Xiao Sun's back has been broken by shrapnel from the shell, and the person is gone."
"Hmm-"
Zhou Juncheng nodded with red eyes and said nothing. The war was so cruel that although he had a good relationship with the guards, he still had to consider the safety of the whole regiment at this time, and he could not care about expressing his sorrow for the death of the guards
The Japanese artillery fire was very fierce, and the continuous bombardment of large-caliber naval guns completely destroyed the fortifications, while the Japanese infantry artillery carried out targeted attacks, and for a time, the losses of Zhou Juncheng's regiment increased rapidly. Among them, many machine gunners were also hit by artillery fire, and the machine guns were also badly damaged and could no longer be used.
The Japanese army attacked like crazy, and Zhou Juncheng's regiment held back until the Japanese army rushed into the front 50 meters of the position, and the officers and soldiers suddenly showed their heads from the pillboxes and trenches, and threw grenades at the heads of the advancing Japanese troops.
Hundreds of grenades with steel sleeves on the shell deliberately stopped when they were thrown, so they exploded in the air, and in the skyrocketing fire, sharp shrapnel and sharp steel fragments shattered by the explosion swept every inch of space in the devil's charging line, and the devil who reacted slowly was regarded as being blown into pieces of meat, and even the devil who lay down in time also suffered a second blow from various fragments.
A shard of steel spun and smashed the steel helmet of a devil lying on the ground, snorted, rolled his eyes, and kicked his feet to swallow the last breath.
Another devil soldier on the side watched in horror as dark red blood slowly oozed from his companion's facial features, and could no longer bear the various "life talismans" that rained down, and he screamed strangely, jumped up and wanted to escape, a fragment of a grenade whistled to catch up with him, and stabbed into his two strands with a "poof".
"Ahh
In the terrible scream, the little devil fell to the ground unwillingly, and the ground was dripping with blinding blood red.
"Boom-"
In the midst of a series of huge explosions, the surviving devils were once again hit like hell.
Yamamoto Nakasa, who was in the rear and was about to watch the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire break through the defense line of the Shina people, was stunned by the scene in front of him, and the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Japan were actually blown up by the inferior Shina people. Yamamoto exhaled a heavy breath: "The army opposite Yaga is really unusual, no wonder General Yanagawa is so cautious"
After the Japanese landing, Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army Headquarters did not go ashore, and its main purpose was to completely defeat Wu Ming's new 2nd Division, take the two forts and coastal defense positions on Jiulong Mountain from behind, and then calmly land at Zhapu Port. The plan for attacking the defense line of the new 2nd Division was drawn up by Yanagawa Heisuke himself, and he attached great importance to it.
The 95 warships escorted by the Japanese army swooped down from a high altitude, the bullets from the nose aviation machine guns rushed into the position from the air like water, and the soldiers who were shooting at the devils were reduced to pieces one after another under the large-caliber bullets, and bursts of blood mist flew up in the air filled with gunsmoke.
A soldier who was wielding a light machine gun to sweep away the devil suddenly shook his body, and an aviation machine gun bullet passed through his back at high speed, leaving a fist-sized bloody hole, and the bloody bullet burrowed into the trench in front of him
"Niang Xipi"
The soldier spurted out a mouthful of blood, forced a breath, shouted, used all his strength, a bolt, a tongue of fire overturned several devils who were about to rush to the position, and then the breath was loosened, and the body fell down, the round eyes slowly closed with the desire for life, and two lines of tears quietly fell.
No one knows what this soldier is thinking in the transition between life and death. Maybe it's because I miss my relatives back home
"Deputy Squad Leader"
A soldier who was only seventeen or eighteen years old stopped when he heard the roaring machine gun sound from the side, turned his head to find the deputy squad leader who had been taking care of him lying in a pool of blood. There was no time to grieve, and the young soldiers, with tears in their eyes, wielded the machine gun of the deputy squad leader, spewed a chain of vengeance at the devils, sending one devil after another to meet their Amaterasu. Until a sinful bullet drilled into the forehead of the young soldier.
"That's how death is" The consciousness gradually passed away from the young soldier, and when he was dying, he seemed to see the deputy squad leader who was like a brother beckoning to him.
"Deputy squad leader, I have finally avenged you," muttered as he closed his young eyes.
The strafing of the position by the Japanese fighters was very deadly, and the Chinese soldiers fell one by one, and even the devils who were about to break into the position were swept aside.
None of the soldiers on both sides retreated, and when they fought to this point, the soldiers of both countries with the most sacrificial spirit in the world were red-eyed, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers who were no longer afraid of death was unimaginable. There are no more tactics, now only instinct remains, and the Chinese and Japanese soldiers are strafing at close range at the risk of the slaughter of the fighters, and when you shoot the other side, the opponent's bullets also penetrate your body.
After the 95 ships were in battle, the 96 ships exploded, they waved their wings, swooped down from the sky, and dropped dense bombs.
The Chinese defense line was plowed again, and the fields were littered with a mixture of freshly turned dirt and thatch.
At this moment, the Japanese army was suppressed by aircraft in the air, supported by fleet artillery groups at sea, and suppressed by infantry artillery and mortars on the ground, which can be said to have brought its firepower advantage into full play.
Zhou Juncheng really saw what it means to be a war that integrates land, sea and air. The Japanese army did not have more troops than the three regiments in the attack, but under the cover of air, sea and artillery, they inflicted great casualties on the three regiments.
All this made Zhou Juncheng profoundly realize that the division commander Wu Ming's plan was right - the positional war between the national army and the Japanese army was tantamount to giving up its own advantages and being beaten passively.
The battle lasted only two or three hours, and many of the fortifications were almost ploughed by the Japanese artillery fire, and the flesh and blood of the victims were scattered all over the defensive line, and the remaining soldiers lay in the fortifications and trenches that had not yet collapsed, heroically holding back the Japanese troops.
The Japanese army was not vegetarian, their individual quality was extremely high, and the coherent actions such as holding guns, loading bullets, aiming, and firing in the charge were completed in a very short time, and the Japanese troops who were fed out by the bullets were not at a disadvantage in the confrontation, and one by one the Chinese soldiers fell.
In the face of a large number of casualties, Zhou Juncheng's heart was dripping blood, and he hesitated for a while.
Under the fierce impact of the Japanese army, the soldiers were almost unable to support it, but if they retreated rashly, the Japanese army would definitely chase and fight fiercely, and when the Japanese army was introduced into the ambush site, according to the ferocity of the Japanese army, I am afraid that Zhou Juncheng's entire regiment would be defeated.
A burst of intensive shooting suddenly sounded from the right front of the position, Zhou Juncheng jumped up violently, and through the lookout in the pillbox, he happened to see Lu Kuiyuan leading the officers and soldiers of the special service company, like a dagger straight into the heart of the attacking troops, and the officers and men of the special service company each had a Suomi submachine gun.
There were still some brave devils who rushed towards the spy company with 38 big covers, but they were quickly beaten into a sieve by the dense bullets, fell to the ground, and their whole bodies were convulsed.
The Japanese troops on the flanks were emptied almost instantly, and Yamamoto Shigeto's eyes were red. He turned around and said urgently to the communications staff officer beside him: "Order the heavy machine gun position and shoot at the Chinese army that broke into the battlefield."
"But—they're now stuck with our men," replied the young staff officer, somewhat helplessly.
Yamamoto Shigetsu looked back at the battlefield again, isn't it, that strange army has broken into the Japanese charging formation, and quickly strangled the officers and soldiers with the advantage of melee firepower. Due to the mixture of enemy and enemy sides, infantry guns, grenadiers, and light and heavy machine guns could not be suppressed at all.
The Japanese fighters hovering in the air did not dare to open fire for fear of accidentally injuring their own people, so they could only fly at a low altitude over the chaotic battlefield and fly towards the positions of the Chinese troops in front.
Shigetomi Yamamoto was not a reckless man, and in a face-to-face situation, the advantages of the submachine guns equipped by the Chinese army were fully utilized, and his own heavy weapons were useless. The principle of war was to give full play to the advantages of the enemy and strangle the enemy, and Yamamoto Shigemomi finally gave the order to retreat.
Hearing the sound of the retreating trumpet, the Japanese army retreated like a tide.
Lu Kuiyuan did not lead his troops to chase, and hurriedly ran towards the position.
Just as Lu Kuiyuan rushed into the trench with his people, the Japanese naval guns poured down again. If Lu Kuiyuan had not led his troops to disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Japanese army, then Zhou Juncheng's regiment, which had been in a state of stalemate with the Japanese army on the battlefield, would not have been able to withdraw from the battlefield in a net profit no matter what.
After expressing his gratitude to Lu Kuiyuan, Zhou Juncheng turned his head and issued the latest order to the signal soldiers - to retreat immediately.
In the flames and smoke, Zhou Juncheng and Lu Kuiyuan led people to quickly retreat from the traffic trench to the rear.
Seeing the retreat of the Chinese army on the opposite side through the binoculars, Yamamoto Shigetsu's spirits were greatly lifted - he was ordered to attack the main and annihilate the new 2nd Division with the cooperation of the 66th Wing of the Northern Front, and now that the enemy has been routed on all fronts, how could he easily let go of such an opportunity to beat the water dogs?
After an order, the 150th Wing pursued the whole line, and the Japanese troops of the four brigades spread their feet and pursued the despicable fleeing Chinese army.
