Chapter 659: Iron Bolt
Chapter 659: Iron Door Bolt
The Japanese Kurosawa Brigade that entered the canyon was hit by a devastating blow, and it is not an exaggeration to call the third line of defense of Huangya Cave into the core area of these several kilometers long, calling it a living coffin, with steep rock walls towering into the sky on both sides, sandwiched by a narrow passage, where more than 10,000 Japanese troops and horses are crowded, and any grenade can blow down a large area, not to mention hundreds of firepower points and fortifications, and thousands of people can throw grenades and explosives together.
What's even more terrifying is that on a protruding mountain beam in front of him, countless black holes suddenly appeared, dense bullets like a torrential rain, and a metal storm blew on the ground, head-on to the Japanese army queue, my God, this is at least a salvo of at least hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese soldiers are flying flesh and blood, sorghum stalks, and they all fall down, and the so-called imperial warriors who rushed to the front were torn to pieces by the dense light and heavy machine gun bullets.
The Japanese soldiers could not support it anymore and retreated out of the valley, in front of them were the flame-spitting light and heavy machine gun fire, the bloody corpses of their comrades at their feet, the stumps and broken arms, and the endless white smoke falling grenades above their heads, such a blow was beyond the reach of any army, and the tenacious nerves of Bushido were torn into broken pieces by the merciless steel.
Hao Jinjia, who had been observing the situation on the battlefield, saw the Japanese soldiers retreating from the canyon in a panic, and spat on the palms of his hands, "Brothers, it's our turn to do it" From the firepower point defended by Hao Jinjia to the nearest firepower point, there is a distance of about 100 meters, after the Japanese army entered the valley and was attacked, Hao Jinjia has not fired, so the Japanese soldiers all think that when they arrive at this place, they can get rid of the place of death that makes them feel terrified and get rid of the whistling shrapnel.
The panicked faces of the Japanese soldiers were already clearly visible, and Hao Jinjia roared in a low voice: "Hit" two grenades were thrown first, two heavy machine guns and three Czech light machine guns, and suddenly roared wildly, and at the same time as Hao Jinjia's battle group fired, on the opposite rock wall, a fire point with slightly staggered positions, almost at the same time sounded the sound of light and heavy machine guns like a rainstorm, and dozens of grenades rolled down.
Hao Jinjia, who threw the grenade together, was stunned, and the boss was dissatisfied, it was this kid again, and I thought about it, what made Hao Jinjia not very happy was his competitor, Liu Guangzhi, the second platoon leader, this guy, everything has to compete with his own row, and he did it against himself, however, this does not hinder the friendship and affection between the two people, sometimes, Hao Jinjia even thinks that without Zhang Guangzhi, this kid is in a company, and he may not have such a big motivation.
Four heavy machine guns, six light machine guns and dozens of grenades on both sides immediately blocked the exit from the canyon, the soldiers were crazy, no need to look at the target, just bury their heads and throw their hands out, the mountain of ammunition was rapidly reduced, there were too many Japanese soldiers, although the grenades exploded into a sea of fire, the bullets smashed into a metal wall, the Japanese soldiers who were eager to flee for their lives, or rushed regardless of the casualties.
The Japanese soldiers were also crazy, they knew that the only chance was to withdraw from the canyon, stay here, sooner or later it would be the fate of being wiped out, stepping on the corpses of their companions, rushing out without hesitation, Okamura Ninji was less than two kilometers away from the entrance of the valley, looking at his loyal soldiers, moths fell one by one under the dense fire net of the Shina soldiers, and their bodies were torn to pieces by the flying shrapnel, from the entrance of the valley to the safety zone, but a distance of a few hundred meters, it turned out to be an insurmountable place of death for the imperial soldiers.
Okamura Ninji's heart trembled violently, a brigade, more than 10,000 soldiers, could it be that in this canyon, he ordered all the firepower, at any cost, to cover the evacuation of the soldiers from the canyon, and the Japanese troops guarding outside the valley, seeing the compatriots who could be seen nearby, were wantonly slaughtered by the soldiers of China, but they had no power to fight back, a fierce spirit suddenly appeared, and after receiving the order, they were not afraid of death to shoot at close range, light and heavy machine guns, 38-type rifles, A rush poured into the firepower of Hao Jinjia and Zhang Guangzhi in the second row opposite him.
The Japanese army did not dare to use artillery fire, and the fart was in a big place, and one shot went down, and it did not blow up the soldiers of China, but it fell on the heads of their own people, not to mention, the Japanese army was not equipped with direct aiming firepower at all, and the light and heavy machine guns did not pose much threat to Hao Jinjia's firepower point, but some veterans of the Japanese army with accurate marksmanship used the ultra-long range of the 38 guns to aim at the shooting hole for accurate blocking, which brought some casualties to the combat team.
Forty minutes later, there was finally no more little devil in front of him, Hao Jinjia closed his eyes tiredly, leaned against the stone wall, his arm was so numb that he lost consciousness, and he ordered in a hoarse voice: "Count the casualties and ammunition stocks, and guard against the shelling of the little devil," no voice answered, he opened his eyes and was startled, the soldiers were lying on the ground, panting heavily, and the movement was thicker than pulling the wind box.
He struggled to get up, one by one pulled the soldiers under him, the soldiers barely sat up, forty minutes of fighting, exhausted all their energy and body, everyone did not know how many grenades were thrown, the shoulders of the light and heavy machine gun shooters, red and swollen, shiny, just lay in the pile of bullet casings that could bury people, counting the results, four killed and six wounded, all of them were shot by the snipers of the little devils.
The consumption of ammunition made Hao Jinjia even more dumbfounded, under normal circumstances, he could use half a month's ammunition, and the margin was just over one-tenth, which means that he had a combat team of twenty-five people, and in forty minutes, he had almost half a month's worth of ammunition, how much did each person consume? He didn't know, he didn't even give an accurate number of grenades he threw out, there were always hundreds, Hao Jinjia thought to himself.
A combat group of 25 people consumed so much ammunition, hundreds of firing points, and the amount of ammunition consumed was quite amazing, and the blow to the Japanese army was devastating, and Okamura Ninji, who was dejected, knew this the most, and the more than 11,000 soldiers of the Kurosawa Brigade were able to escape back, but only more than 4,000 people, and the remaining 7,000 people fell into a canyon several kilometers long in just 40 minutes, turning into lonely ghosts in a foreign land.
Okamura Ninji couldn't stand it, the attack had just been carried out for a day and a half, first lost a wing, and then a brigade was disabled, and two major generals and brigade commanders died, and he didn't even see the faces of the soldiers in China, his face was pale, and he ordered the artillery to shell the outer positions of the Yellow Cliff Cave, this time, not only twenty-eight giant guns, all the artillery of the Japanese army, all joined the ranks of the shelling, Okamura Ningji went crazy, he wanted to use steel to smash the Yellow Cliff Cave that devoured the lives of the imperial soldiers.
The overwhelming artillery fire, the Japanese artillery to the defeat of the anger, all vented to the cliffs, mountains and trees around the Yellow Cliff Cave, even the rows of houses in the open space in the core area, were not spared, ate hundreds of large-caliber shells, turned into a ruin, huge craters, exposed the newly turned soil, a fruit forest, destroyed by artillery fire, broken fruit trees, oozing clear sap, looking distressing, the Yellow Cliff Cave base, like a small boat swaying in the wind and rain, can always stand.
The Japanese artillery fire outside was continuous, and the production in the cave did not stop at all, the electric arc flickered, the machine rumbled, and the lives of the soldiers were not affected.
After the Japanese artillery bombardment, as usual, the infantry charged, and the devastated and desert-like desolate Huangya Cave perimeter positions were resounded with the endless explosion of grenades, and the roar of light and heavy machine guns was heard in an innumerable number.
In the next four days, the Japanese army continued to repeat the shelling, charge, and was repulsed, and then shelled and charged, and the Yellow Cliff Cave, which was a stone's throw away, became an oasis on the horizon that Okamura Ninji could not reach, and the surrounding peaks were cut down a few meters.
When the defense of Huangya Cave was fought on the second day, Chang Feng took a combat group, after repelling an attack by the Japanese army, regardless of the casualties, he immediately withdrew to rest, the previous team leader stayed, and was the adviser to the leader of the latter combat group, and in each group, three snipers and five recruits were added, so that they could be exercised in actual combat, this is a modern version of wheel warfare, which can not only maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, train new soldiers, but also use the fighting spirit to be in full bloom, hold back the strength, and want to take the head of the little devil to make meritorious service to the new troops, Constantly depleting the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.
This move was really very effective, the soldiers of the troops who were rotated triumphantly boasted about how they had killed the little devils, and the soldiers of the troops who did not take advantage of the opportunity were on fire, and ran to the company headquarters several times a day, and the battle book flew to Chang Feng's hands like snowflakes, and most of them were written by the company and battalion commanders themselves, showing off the achievements of their troops, and below were the signatures of the dense soldiers, all of which were a request, and in the next round, they had to send themselves up.
Some battalion commanders complained that the chief of staff was eccentric, only noticed the two field brigades, and ignored the combat effectiveness of the Huangyadong garrison brigade. Still afraid of the Japanese army's retreat? It's addictive, too, everyone is willing to fight a battle that takes advantage of the advantages and doesn't suffer losses, and the snipers solve the problem of Japanese shooters, and the average casualties of each combat group are less than half a person.
The base of Huangya Cave is like an iron walnut that can't chew, chew, smash, or swallow, stuck in Okamura Ningji's throat, choking him with panic and shortness of breath, and he can't get out of breath, and for more than five days before and after, Okamura Ningji commanded more than 200,000 troops to besiege Huangya Cave, except for the daily casualties, he was empty-handed and found nothing.
