Chapter 927: Pig Assault
On the positions of the Imperial Marines, a number of light and heavy machine guns had already been erected, and they were deployed on the defensive line before they even had time to build fortifications. As for trenches and the like, there was no time to dig them. Some soldiers dug a foxhole and lay down in it. As for barbed wire and the like, it is too late to prepare. Such fortifications are undoubtedly extremely rudimentary. However, it is not bad to be able to build such a fortification in a hurry.
On the beach, the 11th artillery battery of the Imperial Marine Corps had nine 75-mm field guns assembled, the muzzles of which were pointed diagonally in the direction in which the Japanese appeared. In addition to this, 120-mm heavy mortars of various battalions, which also entered the positions. As for 80-mm medium mortars and 60-mm light mortars, they were deployed directly to the front line.
On the sea, the warships of the Imperial Navy were also ready. Battleships, heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers, were distributed over the sea. The muzzles of the main and secondary guns were pointed to the shore. If the Japanese really dare to attack, then they will be greeted by shells like a storm. These dense shells were enough to tear the Japanese army to shreds.
At 10:12 a.m., the commander of the 45th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, Toraki Miyazaki, gave the order to attack. Two brigades, numbering more than 1,900 men, launched a fierce charge at the positions of the Imperial Marines. These Japanese soldiers, armed with rifles with bayonets, screamed and charged, like wild wolves in heat.
The Japanese Army advocates 'White Soldier Doctrine' and 'Pig Assault'. The so-called 'White Soldier Doctrine' is mainly due to the fact that Japan is a country with small resources, attaches great importance to naval equipment, and can only accommodate the Army, thus forming the so-called "White Soldier Doctrine." Only literally, infantry equipment is simpler. Rely on courage and skill to defeat your opponents. In this way, accurate shooting, ferocious stabbing, and night attack maneuver have become the content of "Three Whites". The Japanese army withdrew the bullet before fighting the bayonet, and the Chinese still misunderstood. Say that it was the stupidity of the Japanese army. In fact, one is to show the spirit of bushido, move the sword without moving the gun, and psychologically deter the opponent! Second, they are afraid that the bullet will injure their own people. In short, in actual combat, the Japanese army's bayonet fighting technology is absolutely world-class.
As for the 'pig assault', it is a collective desperate charge that risks death, which can also be explained as charging like a wild boar. This was invented during the Russo-Japanese War, and the superiority in numbers and fearlessness were used to directly crush the enemy, regardless of casualties. "Pig" is a positive word in Japan and refers to a wild boar. The status of wild boars in Japan is probably similar to that of tigers in China, and to say who is a pig is to praise him for his courage and perseverance. There is a word in Japanese called "pig rush", which roughly translates to the meaning of indomitable. During the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese commander Nogi Noshinori used this method of attack in Lushun. With a total of 56,000 troops and 386 artillery pieces of 3 divisions, 2 reserve regiments, and 2 field artillery brigades, Nogi Noshinori launched three general attacks on the 33,000 Russian troops in Lushun, which lasted 150 days. Flesh and blood flying, Nogi Noshidian employs a sea of people. tunnels, night attacks, and even the organization of 3,500 death squads with white cloth tied to their heads to charge, all ended in failure, killing more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers, and even his second son, Nogi Honori, was killed in battle. But Lushun is still in the hands of the Russian army. However, the onslaught of the Japanese army, regardless of casualties, also frightened the Russians enough. They were completely frightened by the fierce charge of the Japanese. So much so that he was easily defeated by the Japanese army.
This time, facing the defense line of the Imperial Marine Corps, as well as a large number of warships on the sea. The Japanese Army also came up with the tactic of 'pig attack' in order to deter the Chinese army and drive the Chinese army into the sea with indomitable courage.
"Rush! His Majesty the Emperor onboard! Great Japanese Empire onboard! ”
Countless Japanese soldiers, chanting slogans, launched a fierce attack with indomitable courage. However, their attack, in the eyes of the officers and men of the Imperial Marine Corps, was clearly looking for death!
"Send a telegram to the Navy requesting artillery support. Hmph, if little Japan wants to find death by itself, then it's no wonder that we can't blame us. "This kind of pig attack of the Japanese Army, in the face of the large-caliber naval guns of the Imperial Navy, is undoubtedly a dead end. The denser the attack formation, the more likely it is to pay heavy casualties. If a large-caliber heavy artillery shell fell, it could completely kill dozens or hundreds of Japanese soldiers, or even more.
Two minutes later, the battleships of the Imperial Navy on the surface of the sea opened fire. All battleships, including battleships and heavy cruisers, joined in the shelling. One by one, large-caliber heavy artillery shells flew whizzing and fell into the ranks of the Japanese troops. The shells exploded, and countless Japanese soldiers were swept into the sky directly by the shock wave. Shrenching was everywhere, and a large number of Japan was torn to shreds. In the ranks of the Japanese attack, there were gaps one by one. However, these gaps were quickly filled by subsequent Japanese soldiers.
"Yo Si! In the face of the fierce artillery bombardment of the Chinese people, the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army still did not change their faces and charged bravely. The people of China are definitely not as strong as the Imperial warriors. Maybe they're already shaking with fear. Miyazaki Tora Ki Nakasa looked appreciative. Although, under the heavy shelling of the Chinese Navy, the losses of the Japanese army seemed to be a little greater. But how can there be immortals in war? This is completely normal. Besides, the Japanese Army has never been afraid of casualties. They have only one goal, and that is to win, and even if it costs a lot of casualties, it is acceptable.
As Miyazaki Tiger Kinaka thought, the officers and men of the Imperial Marine Corps were indeed shocked by the Japanese army's fearless charge. However, he was not frightened, but thought that these charging Japanese troops had something wrong with their brains!
"Squad leader, are the Japanese brains caught in the door? Aren't they afraid of death? In the face of such fierce artillery fire from the Imperial Navy, they all dared to charge upright, what is the difference between that and sending them to death? A recruit asked.
"What's this? It's good to get used to it. The Japanese don't have a normal brain. Especially when it comes to war, they act as if they are really invulnerable. In fact, they are no different from us, they also carry two shoulders and one head, and they are even a little shorter than us. If you get hit by a bullet, you'll still die. In the middle of the battle, as long as you are not frightened by this suicidal attack of the Japanese, there is no problem at all, you just need to pull the trigger and kill these little Japan. The squad leader earnestly taught everyone about his experience.
"That squad leader, since the Japanese have a problem with their brains, are we bullying them?" The recruit continued.
"It's not bullying them, it's killing themselves. Since they are looking for death, we have no choice but to fulfill them. Who has made the empire helpful all the time! The squad leader said.
"Boom!" A 381-mm shell fell into the ranks of the Japanese soldiers, killing at least 100 Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers who were charging also seemed to be frightened.
Although, these Japanese soldiers were deeply poisoned by the spirit of bushido, and were not afraid of death. However, that doesn't mean they won't be afraid. Watching his comrades-in-arms around him being torn to pieces is extremely terrifying for anyone.
"Warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, charge! Although the artillery fire of the Chinese people was fierce, as long as we rushed into the positions of the Chinese people, they did not dare to open fire again. A squad leader of the Japanese army shouted loudly.
This immediately boosted the morale of the Japanese army, and everyone once again launched a charge with confidence.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The 11th regimental artillery battery of the Marine Corps also began to fire nine 75-mm field guns. Dense shells fell into the ranks of the Japanese troops, further aggravating the casualties of the Japanese troops.
As the Japanese moved closer to the lines of the Imperial Marines, mortars and other weapons joined the attack. The Japanese were completely flesh and blood against the heavy artillery fire of the Imperial Navy and Marines. This made many officers and soldiers of the Imperial Marine Corps have to admire the courage of these Japanese soldiers. However, even so, the Imperial Marines still wanted to kill them. This is on the battlefield, and you can't be soft at all, otherwise, you may be killed by the enemy.
"Fire!" With the Japanese troops only two or three hundred meters from the positions of the Imperial Marines, the commander of the front gave the order to open fire. Suddenly, the light and heavy machine guns on the position were fired.
"Da Da Da!" The dense bullets fired at the ranks of the Japanese like a scythe of death. A large number of Japanese soldiers, as if they were harvesting wheat, fell to the ground.
Although the Japanese soldiers were very heroic, they were still bleeding from the head after hitting the dense fire of the Imperial Marines' defensive line.
The two brigades that participated in the offensive suffered heavy losses when they were ravaged by the artillery fire of the Imperial Navy. Now, it was hit by light and heavy machine gun fire from the Imperial Marines, which directly caused the casualties of the Japanese army to skyrocket. A large number of corpses fell to the ground, piled on top of each other. Blood flowed from the corpses, staining the beach a dark red.
In the face of the fierce fire of the Imperial Marines, the Japanese pig-raid was terrifying, but it was useless. They didn't even touch the edge of the Imperial Marines' position, except for the corpses they left on the battlefield.
Half an hour later, the gunfire stopped. Not because of anything else, but because of the attacking Japanese troops, almost all of them have already been killed. Although the 45th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army still had some troops, they obviously knew that even if they were all put into the construction site, it would not be of any use.
