Chapter Forty-Eight: Landing and Defensive Battle (3)
The Japanese army launched an attack on Shizhong Mountain in three ways, and the dense devils filled the river beach for a while, and as far as the eye could see, the earthy yellow covered the originally pale river beach, and there were devils who were charging with their heads down everywhere. The Japanese army launched a larger-scale offensive, Wu Gang's eyelids jumped, he gritted his teeth, stared wide, and encouraged the soldiers around him with his eyes. The little devil is going to fight hard, then, we will kill and injure the enemy to the maximum extent possible, and completely defeat the enemy's morale - Wu Gang thought so, put all the magazines on his body in front of him, and was ready to fight to the death.
Landing defensive battles, unless the terrain is special, are definitely advantageous for the defenders. The flat beach made it almost impossible for the attacking side to take effective defensive measures. The beachhead can't be built, it's okay for you to lie on your stomach honestly, after all, bullets don't turn, but if you stand up and want to attack, then I'm sorry, a rain of bullets has passed, and a sickle has smashed into a large ear of rice. And there was only one result, that is, the ears of rice were cut down - the Japanese attacked from the left, center and right at the same time, and if the machine gun company was divided into three parts to shoot at the same time, the coverage effect of the fire would definitely be affected. And once it is suddenly approached by the little devils, the machine gun company is bound to fall into a difficult situation. Wu Gang is also a ruthless man, in the face of this chess hand played by Shan Chi Yuan, he held the idea that I will fight mine, you will fight you, and ordered: "Concentrate firepower to hit the devil in the middle, and ignore him on both sides!" ”
This style of play of the 123rd Regiment Machine Gun Company quickly made the devil death squad in the middle feel the pressure. As Wu Gang shouted "fight" again! The gunshots rang out like beans, and more than 300 devils who looked fierce and vicious rushed out of the body for more than 50 meters, and then fell more than 200. In the era of hot weapons, there is a saying when launching a charge war, that is, as long as you break out of the wall and go a certain distance, then it is equivalent to getting rid of the threat of bullets and entering the so-called white-knuckle combat area. However, in today's situation, because facing nearly a hundred machine guns, this statement is completely untenable. The remaining devils of the Japanese death squad had the determination to continue to rush to the death, but with such large casualties, Yamaikegaki could not accept it. You must know that these more than 300 devils are all elite. Using the elite as cannon fodder, even if he treats human life like a mustard, he can't follow through to the end. At this time, because the teams on both sides had not been hit, they had quickly rushed out of the ground for more than 100 meters, and they were about to be level with the first trench. Unable to bear to watch the elite imperial army continue to increase casualties, he quickly gave the order to the death squad to lie down on the spot.
In the round of shooting just now, Wang Jinyu finally killed a devil, although Wang Jinfeng killed two more, but he finally opened his beard, which made him very excited. He yelled at Wang Jinfeng: "See, I also killed a devil!" Wang Jinfeng killed two devils again, so that the number of enemies he destroyed reached five, not to mention anything else, this is enough to evaluate a third-class merit, so he behaved reservedly, he said: "Yes, there is progress!" Keep up the good work! ”
The Japanese army was less than fifty meters away from them at this time, and such a close distance made the Japanese army's marksmanship more and more accurate, although raising their heads at this moment to aim and shoot was no different from suicide, but there were still many devils who raised their heads and raised their guns to aim and shoot. Suddenly, Wang Jinyu felt some hot liquid spilled on his face, he stroked it with his hand, looked down at the red blood, and immediately exclaimed: "Ah! At this moment, he heard a soft cry, and when he turned his head to look, Wang Jinfeng was shot in the head, and the person was already paralyzed on the ground.
"Second brother! Second brother! Wang Jinyu was frightened, dropped and pounced, he stretched out his hand to cover the wound on Wang Jinfeng's head, but how could the walnut-sized wound be covered, and the blood was still white and flowed out, Wang Jinfeng gasped with difficulty, he glanced at Wang Jinyu hard, and wanted to say something, but in the end, his head was crooked, but he couldn't say anything and passed away. Wang Jinyu exchanged louder voices: "Second brother! Second brother! Don't scare me! He shook Wang Jinfeng, but the latter had lost his breath...... Realizing that the second brother was dead, something exploded in Wang Jinyu's head, and then it was blank, and he muttered in his mouth: "Second brother, don't worry, the brother will avenge you!" Then, subconsciously picked up his machine gun, and then jumped out of cover.
"Da Da Da!" Angry gunshots rang out, and the devil on the opposite side who had just built a job had just pulled the bolt and pushed out the cartridge case, and suddenly several bullets hit the helmet in succession, and then, finally, a bullet shattered the helmet, and then smashed his head into a rotten watermelon. When the surrounding Japanese soldiers saw this scene, they immediately raised their guns to shoot, and at this time, the comrades who woke up next to Wang Jinyu had already pulled him down.
The Japanese army's accurate marksmanship caused a lot of casualties to the machine gun company, and in this round of charging and defensive battles, eleven soldiers of the machine gun company fell in a pool of blood, and seven of them closed their eyes forever. And among them, there are many battle heroes who have killed more than five enemies.
But whenever there is a war, there will always be death, the reason why Wang Jinyu lost his mind just now is because Wang Jinfeng is his cousin, although he usually likes to deal with him in words, but in fact, his private feelings are very good, and he can't stand the stimulation for a while, so he will lose his temper. was rescued by his comrades-in-arms, and after Wu Gang's training on his head and face, he came to his senses, first admitted his mistake to Wu Gang, and then squinted his eyes and thought about how to do it to avenge his cousin.
After contacting Wu Gang through the walkie-talkie, he decided to first suppress the devils in the middle of the road, and then launch a counteroffensive, driving down the Japanese troops on the side while the iron was hot, and directly killing the devils in formation, it is best to be able to go down in one fell swoop and drive the devils back to the river to feed the fish.
Up to now, the 123rd Regiment has more than 800 troops at this time, but because it is equipped with at least assault rifles, which is equivalent to a light machine gun per person, Wu Gang and Jiang Youwei have the confidence to launch a counteroffensive under such circumstances. At this moment, seeing that the two devils on the side have threatened the survival of the machine gun company, the snipers on the sniper position have begun to exert their might at this moment. Originally, snipers were not suitable for positional warfare, but now this method of warfare is more conducive to their performance. Snipers have a different method of killing devils than machine gunners, their frequency is relatively slow, basically two shots a minute at most, but their efficiency is comparable to that of machine gunners, or even higher. As soon as a gunshot rang out, it didn't matter if a devil fell to the ground, and what frightened the Japanese army was that it was often those officers who were killed first. Seeing the officers around him fall to the ground one after another, he couldn't figure out where the bullets were coming from at first, and the devils on the left and right fell into a little panic. Later, it was understood that it was the sniper who was making trouble, and the devils who were good at shooting began to fight each other, but at this moment, the anti-reunion launched by the large army led by Jiang Youwei began. Five or six hundred trainees rushed out of the trenches with assault rifles and submachine guns, they opened fire fiercely while charging, and everywhere the guns went, a piece of devils fell, and the morale of the Japanese army, which was not very high, immediately fell to the critical point, although some officers were still desperately shouting and directing the soldiers to fight back, however, because too many low-level and even middle-level officers were shot, the Japanese side troops quickly fell into a panic, and then it was a rout.
"Brothers! Come on! Jiang Youwei raised his arms and shouted, taking the lead in rushing forward, and around him, more students rushed up with shouts, quickly divided into two roads, and drove the two devils on the side towards the way they came.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a panicked devil rushed into the minefield and stepped on the mine, once the mine exploded, the devil who did not know what was going on was even more panicked, and the rout lost the chance to recover.
Standing at the bow of a ship, Yamaikegaki waved his gun and shouted, "Resist, resist!" However, even if he shouted in his throat, not many people listened. Even if there are many devils who want to launch a counterattack on the spot and establish a beachhead, but a large group of devils have fallen into chaos, and they can only move with the crowd when they are coerced, and they don't even have a chance to shoot.
"Brothers! Come on! "Wu Gang seized the opportunity and jumped out of the trench when Jiang Youwei charged to the level with the machine gun position, and organized the soldiers of the machine gun company to join the counter-charge queue." Kill the devil! "Kill!" With the addition of the machine gunners, the firepower of the counter-charge increased exponentially, and the bullets swept towards the devils like a torrential rain, and a piece of the devils were knocked to the ground, which exacerbated the rout of the Japanese army, and when the fastest devil had been driven into the water, Yamaikegaki looked up to the sky and sighed, and reluctantly gave the order to retreat.
Wu Gang and Jiang Youwei met, and Jiang Youwei asked, "Old Wu, what should I do, continue to pursue?" ”
Although the Japanese army lost no less than 500 men in two consecutive rounds of attacks, there were still about 2,500 people. The 123rd Regiment is now about 800 people, and once the Japanese take the opportunity to counterattack, then the situation of the war may change. Wu Gang looked in the direction of Yanlie Mountain, where camouflage figures appeared one after another, and a bright battle flag was waving in the wind - it was obvious that Meng Kailan was still not worried about the battle in Shizhong Mountain after all, and he came with people to support.
Wu Gang gritted his teeth and roared: "Chase, drive the little devil down the river to feed the fish!" Pass my orders, keep a certain distance from the little devils, and keep the pressure with the advantage of firepower! ”
Wu Gang's order was soon reached to each squad, and in the shouts of the platoon commanders of those squads, the ranks of the Cadet Corps' counter-charge were somewhat reduced, and in direct proportion to this, their firepower density increased.
At this moment, Yamachigaki has already seen clearly that the defenders of Shizhong Mountain are only the size of a regiment, but it is this regiment, and its firepower is no less than that of a brigade. Therefore, when he found out that the Cadet Army had launched a counter-charge and began to press up, he realized that this landing battle had failed. The ships necessary for the landing must be reserved for the large army, and if these fishing boats, which have been collected by all means, are destroyed, then the battle of Hukou will come to an end. In the face of the rout army that fell like a mountain, he reluctantly gave an order to the devil who served as the captain on the ship: "Withdraw, withdraw immediately!" Leave them alone, row the boat back, you, you're done! ”
