Chapter 53: Conquering Everything
Sasaki divided the entire defense line into three layers, the foot of the mountain, the mountainside, and the top of the mountain, forming a relatively three-dimensional fire cross, and with the help of his own terrain, he believed that he could hold on for two to three days.
Seeing the volunteers below gradually approaching him, Sasaki also shouted loudly: "The people of Shina are coming up!" Get ready for battle! ”
A battalion of volunteers was rapidly outflanking in a semicircle, and Sasaki had expected the enemy to launch a group charge after the artillery bombardment. However, these volunteers stopped at a distance of 200 meters from the top of the hill, and the heavy machine guns and light machine guns began to fire fiercely at the Japanese positions, and the unconscionable guns also hit the heads of these little Japanese.
The explosive packets of various sizes arced in the air and landed on Sasaki's head, and although the range of the unconscionable cannon was not as good as those cannons, the power was not small at all, and the Japanese fortifications were once again ravaged by the war, and the smoke and dust from the explosion and the burning trees made it seem as if the entire mountain had been set on fire from a distance.
In the midst of this explosion, two squads of volunteer soldiers touched their waists, and the volunteers generally do not charge in groups.
The Second Army was also replenished with a large number of new recruits after the Russo-Japanese War, and many soldiers in the reserve infantry brigade had never been on the battlefield, and the continuous explosions shook their ears, and their bodies were lying on the ground as if they were shaking at any time, which made the nerves of those Japanese soldiers almost broken.
In particular, the unconscionable cannon is an arc attack, and from time to time explosive packs fall into the fortifications, and the stumps and weapon parts of the soldiers fly everywhere in the skyrocketing explosion, which makes those recruits feel even more panicked.
Sasaki also knew that such a situation would occur in the troops, which was normal, as long as he could hold on to the faith of the other party's charging soldiers for a few rounds, he could be inspired. He made a very relaxed appearance, squatted in front of a nervous-looking Japanese soldier, and leisurely lit a cigarette: "Look at your appearance." Seems scared, huh? ”
The Japanese soldier nodded nervously, and Sasaki could still see from his face that it had not completely faded from immaturity.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, remember that we're fighting for the Emperor, and when the enemy comes up you shoot at them desperately, and if you can kill a single one, I'll give you credit, and then your parents and family will be proud of you. What do you think? Do you have the guts? ”
Sasaki's tone was very calm, not only the soldier, but also the recruit next to him felt a lot more nervous when he heard his words, yes, they were fighting for the emperor. The battlefield is where they can change their fate.
An explosive package exploded not far from them, and the recruits were startled, but Sasaki didn't react at all, and waited for the explosion before slowly turning back: "Don't worry, they can't blow us up." By the way, what's your name? ”
The soldier whispered, "Ichiro Kanazawa." ”
The bombardment of the Volunteers seemed endless, at first the artillery bombardment covered the infantry charge, and the infantry came up again with a medium-range bombardment. Finally, I saw that the two teams of volunteers who had touched it were already approaching, and Sasaki thought to himself, should you not blow up this time? If you blow it up again, you will blow it up with your own people. As a result, gun grenades and grenades hit again! The snipers also began to play. The Japanese troops on the pressed mountain did not dare to raise their heads at all!
The Japanese also have these weapons, but they can't fight that kind of cooperation! This cooperation is not something you trained, but a soldier on the battlefield who relied on their experience and summed up after countless comrades fell.
Equip you with the copycat you can. Experience you can't copy.
What terrain machine gunners should advance, what terrain needs bombardiers to rush up, and when to need sharp soldiers to clear the way, the volunteers know very well in their hearts! The two squads alternated and moved forward. Unhurried, the Japanese could not find a chance to fight back, but the speed was not slow at all.
In the blink of an eye, they had rushed to the foot of the mountain and began to break through Sasaki's first line of positions. Until this time. The Volunteers began to fire and assault the Japanese before they found a chance to fight.
Sasaki on the mountain beam drew his command knife: "Warriors of the Great Japanese Empire! This is a battle that stakes the fate of our empire! The future of Japan is in your hands, and for the sake of the Emperor, I will fight to the death with all of you! Fire! ”
The living Japanese soldiers came out of the rubble, took out their weapons and set them up, and with Sasaki's order, all the rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns with countless chains of fire sprayed down on the volunteers.
The volunteer soldier who rushed to the front was a little slower at this time, was hit by a bullet, and his whole body paused slightly, and he was immediately targeted by the Japanese on the mountain, and blood kept coming out of his body, and he slowly fell down.
The comrades-in-arms in the back quickly lay on the ground, and the squad leader looked at the corpses of his comrades in front of him and gasped twice: "Three o'clock direction!" Twenty meters away! Xiao Liu, prepare! ”
The bombardier immediately took the two grenades in his hand, shook them slightly, and then nodded at the squad leader: "Okay!" ”
The squad leader made a gesture at the light machine gunner, then spat at the spit, and suddenly got up and fired two shots at the Japanese above!
He didn't aim at all, and the two shots didn't hit anyone, and immediately after the shot, he crouched down as fast as he could, and the bullets from the hill crackled on the ground beside him, and some stones splashed up to make him feel like he was being pricked.
The squad leader had just crouched down, but the light machine gunner suddenly got up and swept towards the opposite side with the machine gun. Unlike the squad leader, he immediately jumped to the side after firing a shuttle of bullets, and this time all the Japanese fire came at him, and the bullets flew with brushes.
Just when the muzzle of the Japanese army was chasing him, the bombardier Xiao Liu threw two grenades in his left and right hands together, and the speed and landing point were just right. The little Japanese machine gunner was chasing people and firing, and he didn't see two grenades flying over.
He didn't react until the grenade fell into the pit and made a noise. With a loud bang, even people with machine guns flew out!
"Hit!"
As soon as the Heavy dodged behind a large tree, he felt a numbness in his leg, followed by a sharp pain that made him almost unsteady on his feet. The squad leader didn't see where he was hurt, but saw blood flying out, and immediately shouted at him: "Jiang Yong! ”
The light machine gunner gritted his teeth and survived the sharp pain, and felt very happy to see that the bullet had passed through the calf without hurting the bone: "It's okay! Pierce a hole. ”
He put the machine gun on the ground. He took out a little herb from his carrying gear and applied it to the wound, then pulled some gauze to wrap the wound well.
During this period, his comrades-in-arms had already fought very fiercely with the Japanese. After taking out the most threatening machine-gun position, the fighters also took the opportunity to swing out and shoot at the Japanese troops, bullets from both sides intertwined in the air like water, and bursts of blood mist flew in the air filled with gunsmoke.
A Japanese soldier who was operating a machine gun suddenly shook his body, and a bullet passed through his skull at high speed, leaving a bloody hole, and the soldier lay on top of the machine gun. Just a moment when the machine gun stopped for a while, Xiao Liu's two grenades flew up again, and the sharp knife soldier took advantage of the smoke from the grenade explosion to jump forward five or six meters. Closer to the positions of the Japanese.
On the other side of the hill there was a squad attacking, and they were advancing at a similar rate as here, as is the case in offensive and defensive battles, where the attacking side always moved forward step by step, and every step was extremely difficult.
But once the opponent's position is torn apart, it will be a battle to catch the rabbits. Sasaki, of course, was not willing to let his position be swept away, and he shouted desperately, directing the fire of the second and third lines of defense to support the Japanese troops below.
The volunteer soldier at the front paused for a moment and felt that there were not too many bullets around him, and he wanted to see if he could go any further. After making a gesture to the back, the squad leader immediately concentrated his fire and gave him proper cover.
The knife soldier saw that there was a small mound of dirt in front of him, and it was not too far away, so he ran towards it.
But as soon as his footsteps moved, a bullet hit him in the head accurately. Bring out a puddle of blood through the steel helmet.
"his ancestors!" The soldier spewed out the words, and his body collapsed with a bang. The round eyes were still wide open.
"There are their snipers in the direction of seven!"
The class leader shouted.
In fact, the snipers of the Volunteers had already locked on to that target, and when the little Japanese who fired the shot was about to retract his head, the snipers of the Volunteers pulled the trigger! Even though the little Japanese wanted to crouch down quickly. But the snipers of the Volunteers had already calculated where he had landed, and a bullet had pierced through the top of the trench built by the Little Japanese and shot into the man's face! You can see it clearly from the sniper. A cloud of red and white erupted.
The two sharp-knife soldiers had already been sacrificed, and at this time the squad leader did not say anything, and the riflemen who were closest to the front immediately rushed forward, and rushed behind the mound of dirt that the soldier wanted to go to just now in a few arrow steps.
The rifle gunner lay there and did not dare to look up, and the Japanese shot desperately in his direction, because this position was already very dangerous. More than ten meters away, according to the burst speed of a normal soldier, he can pounce in three seconds.
"Prepare to charge!"
Of course, the squad leader will not let go of this opportunity, if he does not rush now, the rifle gunman may be killed by the Japanese in that place immediately. Taking advantage of the Japanese firepower attracted by the riflemen, they were ready to do Zuihou's sprint.
The eleven soldiers prepared for themselves, and the squad leader took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing and emotions, and then glanced at Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu immediately came out of the hiding place, regardless of his own danger, and desperately threw a grenade on it with his best posture and fastest speed!
"Rush!"
The squad leader shouted, and more than a dozen figures jumped out!
Xiao Liu threw four grenades and was swept in the chest by a burst of machine guns, and the rifle jumps up and just destroys a machine gun position with one shot, and a few bullets burrow into his body.
Knowing that his leg wound would make it impossible for him to keep up with the troops, the Light Machine Heavy simply stood up straight and swept at the Japanese soldiers.
The deputy squad leader, the machine gunner, all died at a distance of more than ten meters. But the squad leader took the remaining seven soldiers of the class and successfully jumped into the Japanese trenches! They immediately formed a combat squad and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese in the trenches.
There were more than fifty little Japanese people in the first trench, and the seven of them couldn't hold out long after entering, but it was enough for the volunteers. What the Volunteers need is a gap!
The battalion commander put down the binoculars excitedly in the back: "Go in!" Kill me right away! Blow the trumpet! (To be continued......)
