"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Six 120mm heavy mortars began shelling, and the target was the eight Japanese heavy machine guns.
A violent explosion sounded, and the heavy machine gun that was firing was blown into parts in the explosion, and the Japanese machine gunner was torn apart in the explosion, leaving only craters on the ground.
The eight heavy machine guns of the 1st Brigade of the 29th Wing of the Japanese Army were all dealt with in just three minutes, which made the attacking Japanese troops suddenly lose the cover of machine gun fire. At this time, the Japanese army had already attacked less than a kilometer away from the defense line of the 1st Battalion of the 11th Regiment of the Jilin Army.
"Yaga! How could the artillery fire of the people of China be so accurate? Ogawa Shaoza scolded. Eight heavy machine guns were already all the firepower of his brigade, but they were gone in just a few minutes, which made Ogawa Shaozo want to cry without tears.
The rear of the rear, who was watching the battle, was also dumbfounded. This is definitely the first time they have encountered such a situation, which is simply incredible.
"Your Excellency Nakasa, the artillery fire of the people of China seems to be very fierce, and there are still a lot of them. Could it be that the people of China were so rich that they equipped each infantry regiment with dozens of artillery pieces? A young man asked suspiciously.
You must know that the wing of a division of the Japanese army is only equipped with four mountain guns. Even in a division like the 2nd Division, the field artillery wing had only 54 75-mm mountain guns. There is also a heavy artillery brigade armed with 18 105 mm howitzers. The artillery of the entire division, if you don't count the wings, is only 72. You must know that a division of the Japanese army is about 23,000 people.
"Perhaps, the people of China have concentrated all the artillery of the 1st Infantry Division of the Jilin Army here. That's why they have so many artillery. However, the people of China thought that they would be able to withstand the invincible samurai of the Imperial Japan, but they were very wrong. The spirit of bushido can never fail, and even the cannons of the Shina people cannot destroy it. And Chuan Hengchang Nakasa said loudly.
"Hey, Your Excellency Nakasa is right, the spirit of bushido is the most powerful." A devil officer shouted loudly, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. After the victory of the Russo-Japanese War, there were indeed many devil officers who were poisoned by the spirit of bushido, thinking that the Japanese army would be invincible with the support of the spirit of bushido.
"Order the light and heavy firepower of each company, and wait until the little devil has entered five hundred meters before firing." At the same time, the battalion commander of the 11th Battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Jilin Army also gave an order. After the Japanese army approached, the Jilin Army's powerful firepower superiority could be fully brought into play. After all, the firing range of light and heavy machine guns is as high as more than a thousand meters. However, it is undoubtedly very difficult to kill the target from a distance of 1,000 meters. The usual engagement distance is between 200 and 500 meters.
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" The soldiers of the Japanese army marched on their laps and shouted slogans of victory, and rushed towards the positions of the Jilin Army. Even if the heavy machine gun was destroyed, without the cover of heavy machine gun fire, they did not seem to find it.
Of course, for the arrogant Japanese army, they thought that even without the fire cover of heavy machine guns, they could still defeat the Jilin Army in front of them. The Japanese Army is a world-class powerhouse, while the Jilin Army is nothing more than the troops of China's local warlords, and there is absolutely no equivalence between the two.
Although the Japanese army was small, it was not slow, and soon rushed to a place less than 500 meters away from the Jilin Army's defensive line. Inside the trenches, officers and soldiers were waiting for the order to open fire. This is the first time I have fought against the regular army of the Japanese army, and many people's palms are full of sweat.
"Fire!" With the order of the battalion commander of the major, the light and heavy firepower on the defensive line immediately began to pour fire on the Japanese troops.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
It was the mortars of the company and platoon firing at maximum rate of fire, and the shells were whizzing towards the Japanese ranks. The slightly crowded Japanese queue became the best target for these shell attacks. After the shells exploded, shrapnel was fired, harvesting the lives of these Japanese soldiers.
"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! ”
This was a light and heavy machine gun firing, and the dense bullets were like a storm of steel shooting towards the Japanese troops, and the Japanese troops who rushed in front were swept down piece by piece like cutting wheat.
The Japanese army is also worthy of being an elite unit, and the reaction speed is very fast, and after being attacked, they immediately lay on the ground to avoid the rain of bullets and bullets of the Jilin Army. However, the surprise attack just now alone had already caused heavy casualties to the 1st Brigade of the 29th Wing of the Japanese Army, and at least two or three hundred people were killed or wounded under the heavy fire of the Jilin Army.
"Nani? What's going on? All the Japanese officers were stunned by this sudden turn of events. The position of the Jilin Army actually spewed out so many tongues of fire.
"At least a couple of dozen machine guns, how is this possible? Is it really an infantry regiment here? The captain of the 1st Brigade, Ogawa Shaoza, muttered. With so many heavy machine guns, even if the entire division of the Japanese army is combined, I'm afraid it will have to be like this.
"Baga, it seems that we are all underestimating our enemies. There is a big gap between them and the Qing army more than ten years ago, and the Russian army two years ago. Their firepower was even more powerful than that of the Imperial Army. Wing Captain Kazukawa Hengchang Nakasa gritted his teeth and said.
However, they now understand that it seems to be a little too late. The soldiers of the 1st Brigade of the 29th Wing of the Japanese Army were completely suppressed on the battlefield. Although these Japanese troops showed great tenacity, they braved the rain of bullets from the Jilin Army and crawled forward. However, mortar shells that rained down into the sky could still easily kill them.
"Suzuki Shosa, lead your brigade and attack the positions of the Shina from the flanks. Since they concentrated both artillery and machine guns on the front, then, I think, their flank defenses must be empty. After the shock, he immediately adjusted his combat deployment.
"Hi, Your Excellency Nakasa." Suzuki Shaozo of the 29th Brigade of the 2nd Wing immediately led his brigade and launched a roundabout attack on the 11th Infantry Regiment of the Jilin Army. It's just that the position they attacked was the position of the 2nd Battalion of the 11th Infantry Regiment of the Jilin Army. Compared to the positions of the 1st Battalion, the positions of the 2nd Battalion were no worse in any way.
As a result, the 2nd Brigade of the 29th Wing of the Japanese Army also crashed headlong into the intensive firepower of the Jilin Army, and the entire brigade lost more than 300 people under the intensive firepower, and was suppressed on the battlefield to the death, unable to advance or retreat.
When Kagawa Hengchang Nakasa received the report from the 2nd Brigade, the whole person's face was already gloomy, as if he could drip water.
"Impossible, how is this possible? The firepower of the Shina men on the front and flanks was so strong that it was absolutely impossible for them to be an infantry regiment. Kazukawa Hengchang Nakasa's face was full of disbelief.
Before the attack, although he already knew that the strength of an infantry regiment of the Jilin Army had reached more than 4,500 men, which was nearly half more than one of his wings. However, Kagawa Hengchang Nakasa never thought that one of his wings would not be an opponent of an infantry regiment of the Jilin Army. In his opinion, even if it was an infantry division, the weakened Shina people would be easily defeated by him.
But now, everything that happened on the battlefield gave him a slap in the face. The attacks of the two brigades were defeated miserably, and the total loss of troops was already more than six hundred people, which was already two-thirds of the strength of the brigade.
"Boom! Rumble! Da-da-da-da! Bang! Bang! ”
On the battlefield, the roar of mortars, the roar of light and heavy machine guns, and the crisp sound of rifles like fried beans are intertwined, playing a music of death. The Japanese army was suffering under the powerful firepower of the Jilin Army.
However, the Japanese army is indeed very strong, and it is quite a bit of a feeling of being fearless of death. Even though they were suppressed by the superior firepower of the Jilin Army, they did not give up just like that.
Many Japanese troops chose to crawl forward, and after approaching the defense line of the Jilin Army, they used rifles to shoot at the Jilin Army.
Although the rifle firepower was small, the Japanese army's marksmanship was very accurate, which caused a lot of casualties to the Jilin Army.
A soldier operating a light machine gun actually pulled the trigger and poured fire on the Japanese troops. However, in the next second, a bullet hit him in the head. The Heavy immediately fell to the ground, motionless. The co-shooter immediately took the machine gun and continued to fire.
The light and heavy machine gunners of the Jilin Army became the target of the Japanese army's shooting. Experienced and well-trained, they naturally knew that these machine guns were a greater threat to them.
It's just that although the marksmanship of the Japanese army is generally more accurate than that of the soldiers of the Jilin Army. However, compared to snipers who use professional sniper rifles, they are at a disadvantage. Even the sniper rifle of the Jilin Army is just an ordinary rifle with a scope. However, this also allows the snipers to play to their advantage.
"Smack!"
A crisp gunshot rang out, and a squad leader of the Japanese army was shot in the head. Immediately afterwards, one of the Japanese soldiers was also shot dead.
Although, there is only one sniper in an infantry squad, but the whole battalion combined, dozens of people. However, their accurate shooting caused huge casualties to the Japanese army. The Japanese army only had more than 900 people in a brigade, and after deducting the machine gun squadron and brigade headquarters in the rear, there were only more than 700 troops engaged in the attack.
After the previous intensive fire, and then the sniper shooting, a brigade quickly suffered more than half of the casualties.
The huge losses made the Japanese army have to choose to retreat. After all, no matter how elite the troops are, once they suffer heavy losses, their morale will also be affected, which will lead to the collapse of the troops.
