Chapter 431: Meat Grinder (1)
While Major General Aoki was in great shock and had not yet come to his senses, the Japanese offensive continued, and did not stop because the tanks were destroyed and the infantry who fought together suffered many casualties.
At this time, the devil's infantry had already rushed to within a hundred meters of the trenches of the dragon's tooth officers and soldiers, which belonged to the most critical distance, as long as they rushed forward, they would basically be able to lock the victory.
It's just that after losing the fire support and cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the devil infantry found that their attack had become difficult, and the opponent's firepower turned out to be so fierce and dense.
The devil infantry, who were hysterically reprimanded by the middle-level and low-level officers one by one, fell like mustard under the dense fire net of the dragon's tooth position.
Some devils had no choice but to hide behind the wreckage of their own tanks and combat vehicles that had been blown up, relying on the fire exchange with the officers and soldiers of the dragon's teeth.
The fierce fighting between the two sides entered a white-hot stage, and the Japanese army was stubbornly blocked from this 100-meter death distance, and could no longer advance lightly, suffering heavy casualties.
Major General Aoki, who was already so angry that his face turned blue and the corners of his mouth twitched constantly, ordered the artillery to keep firing and provide fire support to his attacking troops as much as possible.
After Qiao Youhua and Wu Ming killed all the tanks and artillery of the devils, they returned the mortars to the artillerymen for manipulation, and instructed them to transfer their positions first, avoid the Japanese artillery fire, save themselves, and then choose the opportunity to open fire to assist the infantry in blocking the Japanese army.
With a gun, he entered the defensive position in the middle of a fierce battle from the communication trench in the village.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! On the position, there were explosions caused by grenades falling everywhere, Qiao Youhua and Wu Ming bent their waists, entered the trenches respectively, picked up the rifles of the fallen soldiers, and began to join the battle.
The addition of the two of them meant the beginning of a nightmare for the devils, grenadiers and junior officers.
Sou! Qiao Youhua took the lead in firing, a grenadier hiding behind the Japanese attacking crowd to provide fire support, was shot in the chest, and the grenade in the grenadier in his hand was already loaded in his hand, and the grenade was pulled down under the effect of severe pain, boom! With a bang, the grenade flew out almost flat.
It exploded in the crowd of Japanese soldiers, and dozens of devils were killed and injured on the spot.
Qiao Youhua sneered, pulled the bolt, and once again aimed at a happiest devil lieutenant, the bullet flew out, accurately hitting the forehead of the devil lieutenant, and he was constantly waving his saber to urge his subordinates to charge with his life, and he was stunned, and there was a terrifying blood hole on his forehead, where did the blood gush out and flow down his face.
The gleam in the devil's eyes quickly began to dissipate, becoming hollow and silent, and then the whole person fell straight backwards.
Snipers like this abound, and although two super snipers could not shoot all the Japanese soldiers, they dealt a devastating blow to thousands of devils.
However, they were able to kill their commanders and machine gunners at all levels, and the grenadiers had lost their effective grassroots command and effective fire support.
is also powerless, even the reason why Qiao Youhua and Wu Ming were able to use their sniper ability to the fullest is because of the firepower cover and cooperation of more than 2,000 soldiers on their side, which attracted the firepower of most of the devils.
Otherwise, no matter how strong the king of soldiers is, in the face of the attack of thousands of troops, he can only flee in the wilderness.
This principle is the same for the Japanese army, losing the fire cover of various light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers, the sharpshooters in the Japanese infantry have been greatly suppressed by firepower, and the pressure has multiplied them, and the first thing they have to face is how to survive the fierce and dense fire of the opponent, and then they can think about accurate shooting.
The most lethal thing is the death of some lieutenants, lieutenants and other grass-roots commanders of the devils, and the deaths of machine gunners and grenadiers, which can be quickly replaced by other experienced devil soldiers and continue shooting
However, the death of the officers at the grassroots level was definitely a great blow to the morale and morale of the Japanese army in this fierce battle that was going on, and although the Japanese army's system was solved by the subordinate command, although the command could take over, the loss and impact on the morale and morale of the army could not be eliminated so quickly.
In addition to the lack of firepower of those machine guns and grenadiers, although someone quickly made up for it, this lack of firepower is gradually widening the situation of superiority and disadvantage between the two sides on the battlefield.
Under the elimination of the other's strengths, the Japanese attack will become weak and weak, and the advantage will be lost, and the Dragon's Tooth Task Force will completely gain the upper hand and fight under pressure.
Major General Aoki also discovered this situation, and seeing that his own attack had failed and the casualties of the soldiers were rising, he had to give the order to retreat in anger.
After receiving the order, the already miserable devil attacking troops suddenly turned around and retreated, much faster than when they attacked.
The Japanese army faded like a tide, and the positions of the officers and soldiers of Longya were left with dead bodies everywhere and the wreckage of more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles destroyed by Qiao Youhua and Wu Ming with mortars.
The whole front of the position was full of blood, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the air was filled with a pungent smell mixed with blood and gunsmoke, which was almost disgusting!
There were also many wounded soldiers in the Dragon's Tooth Position who were wailing in pain, and Qiao Youhua immediately arranged for manpower to send these wounded soldiers into the tunnel and send them to Feiyunling for treatment.
When the attack failed, and the embarrassed and angry Major General Aoki was about to order the artillery group to carry out a heavy artillery attack, the commander of the 9th Brigade, Tataji Takagi, led a large number of troops of the 5th Division through the minefield and rushed to meet them.
Takagi Duanji himself was surrounded by a group of wing captains and came to the temporary command post of Major General Aoki, and when the two sides met, Takagi Tanji took the lead in speaking: "Aoki-kun, I heard that your attack was frustrated, and I specially led my troops to rush to reinforcements!" ā
Major General Aoki, who was in an extremely bad mood, snorted coldly, which was considered a response, and Takaki Tanji didn't care about Major General Aoki's attitude, and said with a smile: "Aoki-kun, you should have also seen that this branch army is extremely difficult to deal with, and our two divisions must work hand in hand to defeat it!"
I will build yƬ, concentrate all the artillery of our two divisions together and use them together, form a powerful artillery fire group, and we will definitely be able to destroy the defense line of the Chinese people, what do you think? ā
Although Major General Aoki was a little disgusted with Takagi Duanji's pretense and coming to steal the fruits of victory, he was a little moved by his mention, and it was undeniable that the artillery of the two master regiments would be multiplied if they were used together.
