Chapter 253: The Sound of Horses' Hoofs Breaking (3)

At a distance of twenty meters, the lethality of submachine guns was amazing, and six or seven hundred submachine guns, volleyed at such a close distance, for the Japanese troops of this squadron, the blow suffered was devastating, and the unsheltered flat steppe became a slaughterhouse for the Japanese.

The remaining more than 60 Japanese soldiers were pressed to the ground by dense firepower, and could only use the corpses of their companions as temporary shelters, not to mention the heavy firepower to counterattack, as long as their heads were raised a little higher, they would be immediately beaten into rotten watermelons.

Lying on the ground, listening to the whistling bullets, hitting the ** of the dead companions, the sound of bullets entering the body in front of me, the blood splashes that were stirred up from time to time, and the bullets screaming above the head, the nerves of the remaining Japanese soldiers almost collapsed.

Wang Ying, who was riding on a horse in the middle of the brigade, and the Japanese squadron leader heard the sound of indistinguishable shots from the front, and hurriedly rolled off the saddle, and the Japanese squadron leader knew that his squadron was finished, so he howled and commanded the artillery squad that followed behind, and immediately set up an artillery position to launch an artillery bombardment on the Chinese army.

The well-trained Japanese soldiers immediately set up four mortars in the same place, and the first row of shells fell on the front of the guard brigade's position with a roar, and the bombed soil splashed the soldiers.

The good fortune of the Japanese army came to an end, and the temporary artillery team of the independent division, which captured the Japanese artillery position, immediately responded with a round of three salvos and dozens of mortar shells, whistling over the heads of the soldiers of the guard brigade, shrouding the only four mortars of the Japanese army in a cloud of smoke and dust.

The smoke cleared, and the Japanese artillery position, four mortars that were already in the state of parts, surrounded by the bodies of the messy Japanese soldiers, the Japanese squadron leader who commanded the shelling, was unlucky to be whistling shrapnel and cut off most of his head.

Until his death, he did not understand how the army of China suddenly appeared, the soldiers of the mountain tiger guard brigade were trained to become masters of earthwork, they excavated fortifications and bunkers on the hills, and the excavated earthwork was transported to a distance in the shortest possible time, the turf was completely preserved, skillfully covered with fortifications, and the soldiers were hidden underneath, and from a distance, there was no sign of man-made direction at all.

Wang Ying rolled from his horse and fell to the ground, immediately being carried by several bodyguards, and ran to a bush, he just gasped for breath in shock, and the place where he got off the horse just now was covered by dense cannonballs, and among the flowers that exploded, he saw with his own eyes the corpses of the imperial soldiers, which were thrown high, and a rain of blood bloomed in the air.

That squadron leader of the Imperial Army must be finished, Wang Ying is also strange, why did he suddenly encounter the troops of the 29th Army? In his memory, the equipment of the 29th Army was not so sophisticated, and listening to the gunfire in front, it was all automatic firearms firing in a salvo.

He suddenly thought of chasing the brothers of the cavalry of the 29th Army, and fought a cold war, looking at the current situation, it must be a premeditated action of the other party, and the cavalry team that he has painstakingly managed is more than lucky, and I am afraid that he will have to explain here.

It's too far away to take care of, or to solve the problem in front of him, Wang Ying then has the heart to look at his troops, as soon as the gunfire in front of him rang out, the first reaction of these bandits was to immediately lie down, find the nearest place where they could hide, dig the soil with bayonets, and soon dig into a simple bunker, immediately stretch out the muzzle, and start firing back at the enemy.

Seeing that the brothers were panicked and took out the end of the battle with the 29th Army, Wang Ying's heart was a lot more settled, with his judgment, the 29th Army that ambushed himself would not have too many troops, although the gunfire was intensive, it was because of the use of automatic firearms, and he wanted to eat all of Lao Tzu's men and horses in one bite, but I am afraid that you Song Zheyuan does not have this good tooth.

This is Wang Yingtong's many years of actual combat, the experience of groping out, in the process of fighting with other bandits, and the 29th Army, played a big role, especially when the field suddenly encountered an ambush, Wang Ying quite proudly called this hedgehog array.

From Tang Qiuli's point of view, the bandits were lying everywhere in twos and threes, at first glance it was disorganized, but if you looked closely, you could see a little way, three or five bandits as a group, forming a temporary combat team, and a few in front kept shooting at the position of the guard brigade.

The few in the back were responsible for monitoring the movements around them to prevent ambushes from appearing again, and the several nearby combat squads formed a large defensive circle, which could be supported by firepower with each other, Tang Qiuli nodded secretly.

Although these bandits are inferior to their own troops and lack formal training, they have their own set of combat methods, which may be a set of effective combat methods that they have explored in many bloody battles or firefighting between bandits.

No matter which direction the attacking troops attack, they will not be able to escape the eyes of the bandits who are monitoring the surroundings, and they will be immediately counterattacked, which is equivalent to the attacking troops, which have to clear temporary firepower points one by one, although in the end, all the bandits will be eliminated, and their own casualties will not be small.

Especially compared to the troops of the 29th Army, which lacked heavy weapons, the casualties in dealing with such bandits can be imagined, Wang Yingneng has been able to crisscross the two provinces of Chahar and Rehe for many years, but he has his own set of names.

Unfortunately, today it was Tang Qiuli who met him, and he asked the messenger to convey the order to solve the remnants of the Japanese army at the front as much as possible, and the mortars and heavy machine guns moved forward to the fortifications of the guard brigade.

By the time the correspondent ran to the front line, the battle was over, and the Japanese soldiers, who were lying on the ground and could not raise their heads, were still in a dying struggle, and under the command of a military officer, launched a decisive charge, and more than 60 Japanese soldiers, howling and jumping from the ground, holding bright bayonets, rushed towards the position of the guard brigade.

The counterattack before death had no effect, the charging Japanese soldiers, by the dense bullets of the submachine guns, into a sieve eye, there were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, the speed of the charge was very fast, although the body was hit by dozens of bullets, or staggered into the fortifications, three or eight bayonets, directly stabbed into the soil.

This frightened the soldiers of the guard brigade, but fortunately they reacted quickly and dodged in time, dodging the bayonet that stabbed them in the chest, otherwise, the guard brigade would have been famous for the independent division because of the glorious record of being stabbed to death with bayonets by Japanese soldiers who had already died, and I don't know how the mountain tiger felt.

The soldiers of the guard brigade were so angry that they made up a few shots on the corpse of the devil, for fear that these crazy guys would cheat the corpse, and they were afraid to think about it, if they didn't use submachine guns, they wouldn't dare to fight like this.

It is also pitiful to say, a squadron, more than 160 Japanese troops, almost did not fire a single shot, they were all wiped out, if it is not for the personal experience of this battle, I am afraid no one can believe that the tenacity and ferocity of the Japanese army in the history of World War II, there are many names.

After the mortars and heavy machine guns were transferred to the fortifications of the guard brigade, Tang Qiuli also left the concealment department, the commander of the special guard detachment, could not be dissuaded, so he had to arrange more than 20 soldiers of the special guard team to form a human pillbox beside him, carefully guarding the division commander and coming to the forward position.

The bullets of the bandits flew from the tip of their heads from time to time, but the distance was too far to be lethal at all, and the soldiers of the guards didn't even bother to raise their eyelids.

More than 20 mortars and more than a dozen heavy machine guns, under the command of Tang Qiuli, from far to near, clear the bandits' hedgehog formation one by one.

At such a distance, it was condescending, all the targets were displayed in front of them, mortars and heavy machine guns, to their advantage, the bandits' temporary digging bunkers, heavy machine gun bullets, like whips woven of metal, the turf was turned up, grass clippings flew around, and then penetrated the thin layer of soil and drilled into the bandits' bodies.

The corpses of the bandits hit by the powerful bullets of the heavy machine guns were constantly spasming and jumping, human tissue and minced flesh, and the bandits who were so excited that they were lucky to survive were almost suffocated, and they left the life-saving bunker one after another, and dodged in front of the bullets.

The mortar is more crisp, the bandit of three or five people has a temporary bunker, and a shell is hoisted, the depth of the bunker is enough, and it is safer, but there is no longer a living life, and the body of the bandit, with the explosion point, was thrown into the air, and was torn apart by shrapnel, and when it fell to the ground, it was already a fragmented corpse.

Tang Qiuli's tactics of clearing point by point have achieved miraculous results, Wang Ying's proud hedgehog array has collapsed, and the scattered bandits have been dealt a fatal blow, in order to avoid the fate of being hit by heavy machine gun bullets and mortar shells, they are oppressed, instinctively move closer together, and gradually in the middle of the grassland, squeezed into a lump.

Wang Ying, who was hiding in the bushes, his eyes were almost dripping blood, every shell took the lives of several of his subordinates, every piece of turf was turned up, and the dust was flying, and the subordinates in that place were no longer complete corpses.

Seeing that the old book he had accumulated for many years was gradually being wiped out, Wang Ying was so distressed that he trembled, this is the capital he relies on to cross and cross the area of Rechaji, and if he has a gun, he is the king of grass, Wang Ying knows very well that he has been a bandit for so many years, how much blood debt he owes, and how many enemies he has made.

I can't remember how many times I have killed sporadically, just by slaughtering the entire village, I have done no less than a dozen, not counting how many scattered Northeast Anti-Japanese Union fighters have been killed after following the Japanese and cooperating with the Japanese.

It was to fight with the 29th Army, and the captured prisoners were either beheaded, buried alive or lit sky lanterns, and none of them survived.

Without a gun, he is a toothless tiger, in the Rechaji area, he can't mix for a day, those enemies, don't eat themselves alive, defect to the Japanese, the Japanese are so easy to talk, someone has a gun, you are a guest, the ocean of white flowers, for you, no one has no guns, in the eyes of the Japanese, fart is not, it is not as good as a wild dog.

After a period of targeted removal, on the grassland below the hills, more than 1,000 corpses of bandits were left, and the flowing blood stained the green grassland, for these habitual bandits full of evil, Tang Qiuli had no interest in showing mercy to his subordinates at all, especially the bandits who had taken refuge in the Japanese, harming their compatriots, being more ruthless than the Japanese, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, was the only way Tang Qiuli took to deal with such bandits.

The time has come, and it is time for the ambushed troops to charge.
