Chapter 316: Snowy Night
Puff puff...
One by one, the grenades fell into the snow, and after the Japanese soldiers who looked like crazy tigers suffered several grenade losses, these experienced soldiers quickly grasped the long delay of the grenades, and picked up the grenades in the snow and threw them at the Northeast Army on the opposite side.
Rumble! The grenade exploded in the Northeast Army, and two or three people were lifted to the ground and fell backwards in the snow. I saw that I was almost out of breath.
"Bastard!" Yao Changling punched the hard ice next to him, and the indignation in his heart was indescribable, he was not aggrieved to die in the hands of the Japanese army, and he was wronged when he died in the hands of his own weapons.
The other Japanese soldiers who hid the sweetness for the first time followed suit, but there were always a few grenades thrown by the Northeast Army that were about to run out of time, and when one of them raised the grenade into the air and was about to throw it, the grenade suddenly exploded. Shrapnel raged overhead, and four or five Japanese soldiers nearby were all unlucky, and fine shrapnel raged everywhere......
Bang! Bang!
Several soldiers of the Japanese army with excellent marksmanship aimed at the heavy machine guns of the Northeast Army, and the rifles could not destroy a big guy like Makqin, but it was enough to bring down the vulnerable machine gunner.
A company of two machine gunners was shot one after the other and lay on their stomachs on the machine guns, and then they were pulled away by the soldiers who came later, and so on.
The Japanese army, which lacked machine gun suppression, suddenly became rampant, shouting Long live the empire, in order to avoid the damage of the machine gun, the Japanese attack formation was quite scattered at this time.
"Kill!" Farther away, another squadron of Japanese reinforcements came over, and only then did the machine gun fire and grenades, and the Japanese had already lost seventy or eighty people. However, under such heavy losses, the Japanese army did not flinch at all, but found a countermeasure very sharply. Use accurate soldiers to defeat Yao Changling's machine gunner. It makes it impossible to give full play to the advantages of machine gun firepower of the Northeast Army, and as for those grenades that are extremely headaches, there is no better way than to fight all the way through. The fierce artillery of the Northeast Army made the Japanese army have no better way for the time being except to reduce casualties in close hand-to-hand combat.
Huan Rao was heavy with machine guns, and four or five people had already fallen one after another. Yao Changling had to order the heavy machine gun to be temporarily moved to another relatively safe location.
"Fuck. The Japanese attack was too crazy, and immediately asked for artillery support from the regimental headquarters! Yao Changling shouted loudly, because the war broke out too quickly, the field phone had not yet reached Sallin Farm at this time, there was no radio station at the battalion level, and there was no need for that kind of stupid big guy. Therefore, the transmission of military orders basically depends on the two legs of the signal corps.
In fact, before the signal corps could reach the regimental headquarters, four of the 12 cannons assigned to the regiment rumbled and crushed all the way.
75MM MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY, THE POWER OF FIELD SHELLS IS NATURALLY NOT COMPARABLE TO GRENADES. A single shell fell into the Japanese camp and often killed and injured more than a dozen people. In addition to casualties, what was even more severe was the breaking up of the formation, a blow to the morale of the Japanese army.
Taking advantage of the obstruction of the Japanese offensive, Makqin, who had changed places, once again burst out with the power of the machine gun, and swept out with a shuttle, and seven or eight people were swept down. The battle lasted less than two hours, and there were corpses everywhere in front of the positions of both sides. The Northeast Army held the ground and had an advantage in firepower. Casualties, naturally, were much smaller.
"Bastard!" Tian Wenichiro, who was lucky enough to survive in the rain of bullets, saw that he was about to rush into the position of the Northeast Army, but was interrupted by a series of artillery bombardment, and the soldiers who rushed in front were all beaten back by a counterattack by the Northeast Army. Tian Wenichiro couldn't help but be furious, "Artillery." Where is our artillery? Why not return fire on the artillery of the Northeast Army? ”
Tian Wenichiro had never been so angry, if it weren't for the lack of heavy firepower to knock through the defenses of the Northeast Army, with their offensive, how could the group of people on the opposite side be able to resist?
Winter nights in the north come early, and the night begins to darken at about 4 p.m.
After a hard day's fighting, Bunichiro Tian sat in the temporary headquarters at the foot of the mountain with a tired face. To the surprise of Fumiichiro Tada. In addition to Yamashita Yuhe, even the division commander of the Third Division, Toshio Otani, came.
Seeing Otani Toshio, Tian Wenichiro's expression was grim, and he immediately saluted, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, why are you here?" ”
"Hmph, your wanton behavior has disturbed the overall plan of the base camp, and now not only has you not repelled the Northeast Army, but has been thwarted by the offensive of the Northeast Army, if I don't come again, you can control the current shape?" Otani Shouo snorted coldly, although the two are somewhat related, but this is a military camp, or in wartime, the upper and lower levels naturally have to be clearly distinguished.
"Although the combat strength of our imperial army exceeds that of the Northeast Army of China, the morale of the enemy is very high, and this attack has been planned for a long time. Its heavy firepower is even far above the permanent divisions of the Empire, and it is equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns and hand grenades. ”
Yamashita Yuhe breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Otani Toshio's appearance here shows that this private trip to the north may have taken a turn for the better, and a group of their officers instigated nearly 15,000 people, and in the first battle, under the bombardment of the Northeast Army and the desperate charge, the losses reached an astonishing more than 1,700 people.
Among these officers, the brigade commander Yamashita Yuhe undoubtedly bears the greatest pressure. When he was the commander of the brigade, Yamashita Yuhe didn't feel anything, and at this time, he had to take into account all aspects of this army, especially in the case of being in decline and all kinds of supplies were not in place, Yamashita Yuhe was almost anxious, and all kinds of telegrams for help flew to the rear like snowflakes, and at the moment he could only count on the fire support of the main force in the north, otherwise with these forces alone, he would not be able to repel the Northeast Army with fierce firepower in front of him.
"You can still fight like this when the army is superior, I see that you have been going back more and more in recent years, if I don't arrive in time, you will wait to cut the emperor for seppuku." Otani Shouo glanced coldly at Yamashita Yuhe, a confidant and favorite general, knowing that the embarrassment of the troops going north at this time should not be too demoralized by these people, "The matter has come to this." It is still important to focus on the current war situation, and the rear is making every effort to repair the railway, once the railway is repaired, these Northeast Army in front of them are not to be afraid, but if you want to play the prestige of the imperial soldiers, you can't completely count on this railway. The heavy firepower in the rear is speeding up to the battlefield, and you don't have to worry too much about the superior artillery fire of the Northeast Army, but before that, you have to brake the sharpness of the Northeast Army first, and let them know that the Imperial soldiers are not so able to send it lightly, just tonight, launch a night attack and take Sallin Farm. Forced the Russian army to surrender! ”
"Hay!"
Although Yamashita Yuhe is the commander of the brigade, in addition to his own efforts, he has gone through some back doors. When it comes to experience on the battlefield, it's far worse than Toshio Otani. Originally, Otani Shouo was in Vladivostok, and he was not unaware of the actions of Yamashita Yuhe and others, but he just adopted a tacit attitude, but at this time, there were nearly 15,000 Japanese troops rushing to Boli, and Yamashita Yuhe did not have the ability to command so many people to fight a medium and large war for the time being. What's more, the climate in the Far East is harsh, and the environment is far more complicated than that of Japan's military exercises. For this reason, after Toshio Otani received a secret message from the base camp. There was only one way to rush to the Boli battlefield.
Toshio Otani is worthy of being a commander who grew up in the Russo-Japanese battlefield, and his actual combat experience and ability to control the battlefield are far from being comparable to Yamashita Tamai. After understanding the strength of both the enemy and us, it was found that with the advantage of firepower of the Northeast Army, it would be very difficult to capture the Sallin Farm head-on, at least before the Japanese heavy firepower arrived. There is little hope, but unfortunately the Japanese army does not have much time to wait, who can guarantee that during the waiting time, whether the Russian army in Boli City can withstand the strong pressure of the Northeast Army and choose to surrender to the Northeast Army? You must know that in addition to the detailed work of the Japanese army, there are also many Russian officers in the city who are biased towards the Northeast Army.
Once the judgment has been made. Otani not only organized the troops to raid the Sallin Farm on a snowy night, but also sent a roundabout force to kill the supply line of the Northeast Army in Heilongjiang. Trying to cut off the fragile logistics of the Northeast Army in one fell swoop.
Toshio Otani's many fabrics made the originally somewhat lonely battlefield even more tragic.
The north wind was howling, and the fires in the low-slung houses of Sallin could be seen from the opaque windows. Around the farm, in relatively sheltered areas, several bonfires were lit. From time to time, soldiers moved to the campfire to keep warm.
Zhao Yingquan shuddered, took off the dogskin hat and bombarded it beside the fire for a while, his fingers trembled a little and put the hat back, and the heat remaining in the hat made people feel a little better.
"TMD, Lao Tzu only said Fengtian, the winter in Jilin is cold enough, I didn't expect that after Heilongjiang, I can freeze immediately when I pee." Zhang Erzhu shivered immediately when he left the fire, took a piece of glutinous rice balls and hurriedly returned to the fire, and roasted the glutinous rice balls on the fire, and after a while, there was a burst of fragrant fragrance.
"You kid should be content, you were so hungry in Henan that you were skinny and skinny, if you are too cold, take off this military uniform, and then go back to Henan." A big-headed soldier next to him rolled his eyes and said.
"Crow's mouth, you just took off your military uniform." As soon as he heard about the military registration, Zhang Erstick was immediately annoyed, although it was colder outside the plug, but the pain of being hungry and often unable to eat for two days was still fresh in his memory, as long as he was not hungry, no matter how hard and tired he was, he also did it, relying on a good figure, Zhang Erstick has also become a first-class soldier in the past two years, with food and shelter, and a year for the elderly, and at the same time, because of the relationship of military status, he borrowed a part of the money from the bank for his sister to study normal, and his sister will be able to graduate in two years, and he has been a bachelor for more than 20 years. In this era, there are definitely older leftover men, who couldn't get a daughter-in-law before, but now they have the status of a non-commissioned officer, and others are rushing to the door to say that the matchmaker is about to break the threshold, where can I find such a good thing?
"Just kidding, what are you really doing?" The soldiers around the fire couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
"Come on, have a bowl of broth, warm up!" As he was talking, the cooking team who had been busy all night shouted, and the big iron pot on the shelf lifted the lid and the heat rose.
As soon as I heard that there was broth to drink, the soldiers around me surrounded me with annoyance, and on this cold day, drinking some broth and eating something was undoubtedly a great enjoyment, and it was also a rare pleasure in this cruel war.
"Phew!" The soldiers here were busy with their work, but suddenly a few gunshots woke everyone up.
"Fuck, the Japanese army can't win during the day, and now it's a night attack, fuck the guys, and kill these Japanese soldiers with Lao Tzu and come back to drink wine and eat meat!" At the same time that these soldiers woke up, a thunderous sound had already sounded in the battalion headquarters, and it was the battalion commander Yao Changling.
Under the bonfire, the soldiers of the brigade were busy with their work.
"Now that there are no more cannons, see how the people of China can resist the fearless charge of the imperial soldiers, kill!"
In the snowy night, the dense Japanese army strode towards Sallin Farm with rifles. In order to wash away the previous shame, this time Yamashita Yuhe personally joined the team, and only by personally leading the team to defeat this enemy army could he make his superiors realize that he was not incompetent in front of the Northeast Army.
Woohoo ....
Several shells rose into the air, and the exploding shells illuminated the sky over the Japanese army.
Flares! Looking at the bright light above the head, Yamashita Yuhe and other officers had a burst of iron blue on their faces, they couldn't imagine that the Northeast Army had prepared this kind of thing, and I had the impression that since the Qing Dynasty, this backward army even had its cannons old-fashioned, and the lack of ammunition was an ordinary phenomenon, but the artillery carried by the Northeast Army in front of him was even more sufficient than a permanent division of the Japanese army, and the shells were fighting as if they didn't need money, and there were even auxiliary shells such as flares, and the emperor was on top, if he could survive after winning this war, If anyone goes back and says that the Northeast Army is an army with backward equipment, he will definitely slap it on the spot. The brave Japanese army was also disgraced in front of the Northeast Army, and had to fight at night in this cold weather to avoid the fierce artillery fire of the Northeast Army. Who would dare to say that the other side is backward in equipment?
"Lie down!" As soon as the flares were lifted into the air, the experienced Japanese commander immediately shouted. Patches of Japanese soldiers lay on their stomachs on the icy snow.
A few tongues of fire spat out on the opposite side, and there was one eyelid under the mountain, there was only one heavy machine gun in Sallin Farm before, but I didn't expect it to increase to four now, it seems that the Northeast Army's response is really not slow. This unexpected change occurred, and I don't know how many Imperial warriors will be killed or injured tonight.
In the case of equal weapons, the war always has some advantages for the defending side, those Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front and reacted a little slowly and did not have time to fall down under the care of a few guns, one by one fell to the ground, the same lying down, but the people before were active, these people were passive.
"Baga, quickly bring our machine guns up and suppress the opponent's firepower!" As the Japanese army howled wolf for a while, several three-year-old heavy machine guns also joined the battle group one after another, frantically ravaging the positions of the Northeast Army.
There were times when the machine gun bullets ran out, and with the interval in between, the Japanese got up and rushed again. (To be continued......)
