Chapter 75 is thrilling and dangerous
Relying on the port of Kaohsiung, a port city with about 20,000 inhabitants has been formed. About a brigade of British troops was stationed in the city, numbering about 5,000 men. The supreme commander of the British army is called Lessy, this guy is about 40 years old, obese, not very tall. When the hand pointed to the west fort at 5 a.m., the sound of gunfire woke up the sleeping Lacey, as did a Japanese military prostitute next to him.
Lacey didn't pay much attention to the scattered gunshots, and reached out to hug the petite Japanese woman, and the smooth skin pressed together made him immediately sexual. Lacey pressed her fat body up, and at this moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded from the west fort, and Lacey was startled, and immediately lost her heart, and immediately climbed down from the Japanese woman and began to change her clothes slowly. There was a knock on the door outside, and Lacey couldn't help but frown, an impatient expression on her face.
Under the service of the Japanese woman, it took a long time for Lacey to get dressed neatly. As soon as he went out, the adjutant panicked and reported: "Report to the general, urgent military situation!" "What happened?" "At present, the batteries and garrisons on the east and west sides have all lost contact, and the batteries have also lost contact, and there must be attackers who have eliminated our garrison and occupied the batteries." Lai Xi was shocked when he heard this, how could this be that, there were such a strong attackers on the island, could it be that the Chinese army had landed?
When Lacey came to the brigade headquarters, all the generals had already gathered. At this time, there was no gunfire in the west fort, and there was gunfire but no explosion in the east fort, and the generals looked at Lacey with anxiety, waiting for him to take his attention. Lacey's eyes rolled twice and said, "The attacker must be a dissident on the island, and it is impossible for the Chinese army to appear on the island." Ordered a regiment to clear the east side of the battery. The 2nd Garrison Regiment eliminated the attackers on the eastern side of the battery, and I led the 3rd Garrison Regiment to stay at the headquarters to take strong precautions. ”
This British coast guard unit was transferred from Australia. They belong to the second-rate troops, and they have no problem suppressing the aborigines and riots of the people, the key is that they have never fought on the right track, let alone brutal battles. The British troops assembled in a chaotic manner, and tossed for an hour and a half before setting off. A garrison company of the battery was silent, and it was clear that the attackers were numerous, for which they pulled in several guns. The British knew it in their hearts. The rebels were most afraid of artillery, and as soon as the cannon sounded, they would be caught and could not distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. This trick is very effective.
The British troops on the west side of the battery were the first to outflank and bombarded the barracks, but there was no movement in the barracks. The British regiment commander ordered a company to go to the barracks to check on the situation. At this time, Mackay saw the British artillery bombardment of the barracks. I was relieved of this British army. Knowing that this British unit had never fought at all, at least it was necessary to figure it out before firing artillery. Seeing a company of British troops cautiously outflanking the barracks, Ma Kai picked up his rifle, and the head of an accurate British captain pulled the trigger, the British captain didn't snort, he fell to the ground and died, and the British soldiers were so frightened that they all lay on the ground.
"Brethren! Here's the live target, free fire! Mackay put down his rifle with ease. Since this British unit was transferred from Australia, the uniforms of the field troops were not changed. He is also wearing an old-fashioned military uniform, which is very eye-catching in red and green. Accompanied by crackling gunshots. It seems that there is no bullet missing, even if the British soldier is lying on the ground, he is shot, and the distance of more than 200 meters is not a problem for special forces. The British soldiers couldn't stand it anymore and got up like a return cannon.
This is even worse, they will not dodge the bullets, and they will not be stunned to run back, but as a result, more bullets will be taken, and in the blink of an eye, a company of British soldiers, a quarter. Seeing this, the commander of the British regiment immediately ordered an artillery bombardment, and the infantry guns were almost scratching in the face of the strong fortifications, and did not work at all. After more than ten minutes of shelling, the British regiment commander ordered a stop, and then under heavy machine gun cover, he ordered a battalion to attack.
The opposite side was very quiet, when the British soldiers entered a distance of 200 meters, the defending side suddenly opened fire, the heavy machine guns formed crossfire, the efficiency was extremely high, the rifles fired continuously, and 5 mortars also joined the battle group. In an instant, the British soldiers were crushed and fell. The British soldiers could not withstand such a blow at all, and crawled back with a rolling belt. The British commander finally woke up to the fact that the people on the other side were not rioters at all, but well-trained troops.
The commander of the British regiment immediately sent someone to report to the brigade commander that the Chinese troops had secretly landed and seized the fort, and that they were so strong in combat that they estimated the strength of one battalion. The British commander did not dare to launch an attack and ordered the soldiers to defend in place. The battery on the west side, the state of battle is almost the same. Li Tie finished firing a bullet and shouted: "It's really fucking fun, Lao Tzu killed the 9th British soldier!" After Li Tie finished speaking, he picked up the eggshells and put them aside, and sure enough, there were 9 neatly arranged eggshells.
Not to be outdone, the team members launched a shooting competition. Li Tie pulled the bolt of the gun and pressed the bullet inside, and a soldier shouted: "Deputy captain, the enemy has retreated." Li Tie checked, and sure enough, the British army's embarrassed artillery was gone. At this time, the phone rang, "Deputy Captain, it's the captain's phone!" A soldier reported. Li Tie took the phone and said excitedly: "Brother, this British army is simply a straw bag, too unbeaten, and the battle is like target training." "Don't be careless, it is estimated that the British army will definitely let the Japanese army support, if the Japanese army comes up, the situation will be different."
Lesey, the commander of the British brigade headquarters, was shocked when he heard the report and immediately sent a telegram to the Japanese headquarters asking for reinforcements. Soon the Japanese army headquarters called back to inform them that the two Japanese brigades stationed in XX were quickly reinforced and estimated to arrive at the port at 11 a.m. Lycy received the telegram in a calm mood and ordered the troops to stop attacking and defending in place. The British did not have the courage to attack again, so they could only wait for Japanese reinforcements to arrive, and the battlefield was temporarily silent.
In the command battery in the middle of the west side, Ma Kai took the phone and said: "Li Tie, the British army has stopped the offensive, it must be waiting for reinforcements from the Japanese army, it is now 8:30 in the morning, let the soldiers rest and wait for work." Ma Kai put down the phone and leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. I don't know how long I slept, but the shells exploded overhead, and Ma Kai immediately woke up. "Captain, enemy shelling!" Mackay pulled out his pocket watch and looked at it, and it was still 5 minutes until 11 o'clock.
"Tell all the brethren that reinforcements from the Japanese army have arrived, ready to fight!" After saying that, Ma Kai picked up his rifle and entered the firing position. Sure enough, the two Japanese brigades arrived at Kaohsiung Port half an hour ahead of schedule. After a brief understanding of the situation, the Japanese captain immediately developed contempt for the British army. The Japanese commander knew in his heart that even if the Chinese army on the battery had the strength of a battalion, it was a great shame that a brigade of British troops was afraid of this. The captain of the Japanese army decided to let the British see how the Great Japanese warriors fought.
After the shelling was over, Ma Kai held up the binoculars to check, and sure enough, it was a Japanese unit. Ma Kai had no experience in fighting with Japanese troops, but when he heard Li Tie introduce the situation of the Japanese army, he shouted loudly: "Inform the batteries that the Japanese troops are different from the British troops, they are tenacious, brave in sacrifice, and strong in combat. The Japanese offensive was characterized by continuous attacks from a wave-type skirmish line, which began to shoot when it entered the firing range, entered 200 meters with heavy machine guns to form crossfire, and entered 50 meters to throw grenades to form an explosion zone. It's 11 o'clock, and as long as we stick to 12 o'clock, the landing fleet will arrive. ”
When the Japanese entered the effective range of 400 meters, the rain of bullets began to sweep towards the Japanese troops. At such a distance, the Japanese soldier was shot and fell to the ground. However, the Japanese army still followed one after another, and the fighting spirit of the British troops was far behind. The terrifying shooting of the special forces, the Japanese army paved the way forward with flesh and blood. With such a blow, the Japanese soldiers were able to attack within 50 meters. However, the number of Japanese troops who rushed to a distance of 50 meters was no longer large, and under the bombardment of grenades, the Japanese troops could not hold on and retreated. However, two Japanese squadrons retreated, and two squadrons took over and charged.
Although Li Tie had fought against the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula, he was well aware of the combat characteristics of the Japanese army. However, he felt that the combat effectiveness of this Japanese army was stronger than that of the Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula. In fact, the reason is very simple: with the continuous enhancement of the armament of the Japanese troops, the overall military quality has also increased dramatically with the Japanese drama. The Japanese army absorbed the advanced tactics of the Western armies, and after assiduous training, formed its own set of military systems, and the overall military strength was greatly enhanced.
Li Tie soon did not bother to count the number of Japanese soldiers killed, and he aimed his energy at the commander of the Japanese army, intending to break up the Japanese offensive. As long as he saw a Japanese officer wielding a sword, he took aim firmly. In less than 20 minutes, he killed 4 Japanese commanders. When the Japanese soldiers lost their command, the soldiers did not know what to do, which was the biggest flaw of the Japanese soldiers. In this regard, the attack power of the Japanese army was effectively contained. However, the Japanese officers found that the signs were wrong and did not wield their command knives, and the officers' battle loss rate dropped greatly.
It was already 12 o'clock, and there was still no shadow of the fleet on the sea, Ma Kai put down his pocket watch and said: "Inform all batteries that the Japanese wave attack will start immediately, save ammunition, and put the Japanese army closer." The battle entered the white heat, and the soldiers threw grenades outside the Xiangxia side with all their might, and it was obvious that a large number of Japanese troops had attacked within 50 meters. The morale of the Japanese army began to rise, and when the Japanese commander saw the soldiers approaching the battery, he ordered all the soldiers to launch a zuihou attack.
Although the special forces in the fortress are strong in combat, the Japanese commander has clearly seen that the strength in the fortress will not exceed two companies, so the Japanese commander felt humiliated, and when the attack took a turn for the better, the Japanese commander took the opportunity to issue an order for a general attack, and the situation became extremely critical, and hand-to-hand combat was about to be staged. (To be continued......)
