Chapter 275: Leave the money to buy the road

The temporary field fortifications of the Japanese Yamaguchi Brigade were well built, and in just a few hours, the firing points, foxholes, trenches, communication ditches, departure assembly positions, and artillery positions were all available, which shows that they were well-trained in peacetime, and aside from their jackal aggressive nature, the individual combat ability of the Japanese soldiers was superb in Asia at that time.

It's a pity that what they met in North China was Tang Qiuli, a freak who came to this world with a wealth of historical knowledge, and he knew very well the Japanese army's offensive routine, first bombarding the opponent's position with fierce artillery fire, and then organizing soldiers to launch a fierce and uninterrupted continuous charge.

The charge failed, and then repeated, tossing a few times like this, the defenders' strength and ammunition were almost consumed, how could the position be held, in fact, Tang Qiuli wanted to attack first, and took advantage of the fact that the various fortifications of the Japanese army were not repaired, and gave him a punch, which must have been quite refreshing

After considering various factors, Tang Qiuli could only give up this tempting idea, firstly, in the case of equal firepower, the casualties of the attacking side must exceed that of the defending side, so he was reluctant to take the lives of the soldiers to satisfy his personal **, and secondly, he would never fire the first shot first, sometimes, he had to talk about politics, war was a continuation of politics, and he couldn't remember the words of the famous general.

If it weren't for the factors of the Nanjing State Government, the Yamaguchi Brigade would have killed Tang Qiuli halfway, and it would still be his turn to be angry here.

But in the past few hours, the troops of the independent division moving towards the two wings of the Yamaguchi brigade have all been in place, just waiting for the order of the division commander, and pounce on the Yamaguchi brigade to deal a fatal blow

The Japanese position on the opposite side quieted down, Tang Qiuli knew that the mountain pass was ready, and he immediately ordered the troops in the front, except for a small number of troops left to monitor the Japanese army, the rest of the troops immediately retreated to the third line of defense, monitored the troops, and quickly entered the anti-artillery hole.

With a loud bang, the Japanese began to shell, and the front-line positions of the independent division were quickly shrouded in gunsmoke, and groups of artillery shells, with a sharp and strange roar, fell on the position, blowing up clumps of dirt.

It may be that the Japanese, very angry at the big sign erected at the front, very unpleasant, first hit the artillery fire, wasted hundreds of shells, only to blow the sign into pieces, listen to the sound of Japanese shelling, the largest caliber is 75 mm mountain artillery, there is no large-caliber field artillery.

After the Japanese shelling stopped for 20 minutes, a large group of Japanese troops formed a charge formation and swaggered to advance the position of the independent division.

The Japanese artillery did not extend the firing, perhaps they felt that this time the shells, the Chinese army on the position, should have little left, it is not worth wasting the artillery shells of the imperial army, the infantry rushed up to accept the position, the Japanese artillery has begun to disassemble the artillery, do the preparation of the area through Guò.

The Japanese infantry had advanced to a place more than 300 meters away from the first position of the independent division, and the position of the people of China was quieter than the cemetery, and there was not a single gun that fired back, and the mood of the Japanese army was even more relaxed.

Suddenly, a louder roar than just now sounded behind the position of the independent division, and a group of shells, piercing the air, with a sharp tail sound, swept over the heads of the charging Japanese troops and smashed down towards the direction of the Japanese artillery position.

Listening to the shells flying overhead, the sharp whistling sound stimulated the Japanese soldiers to goosebumps, they never dreamed that the Chinese army would have so many artillery pieces to fight back at the artillery of the imperial army.

The captain of the Japanese army who commanded the charge suddenly woke up to the fact that the Chinese army was playing tricks and tricks, and they were very cunning, and they were now dealing with the artillery of the imperial army, and the next wave of shells would definitely fall on their heads, so he immediately ordered the soldiers loudly to charge at the fastest speed, and only by entering the position of the Chinese people and mixing with their soldiers could they get rid of the fate of eating shells.

The captain of the Japanese army was very clever and adopted the correct tactics, however, the shells still had to be eaten, and those large-caliber shells, who did not pay attention to them, continued to sweep over their heads and flew in the direction of the artillery position.

What fell on their heads was a mortar shell that was pressed like a large flock of crows, and at the beginning it was a salvo of more than a hundred mortars, and the other artillery, in full force to destroy the Japanese artillery positions, did not have time to vigorously these two-legged guys, all left to the mortars to take care of.

The Japanese charge formation, immediately drowned in gunpowder smoke and firelight, shells fell, groups of devils, were blown into the air, the first round of shelling, to the unsuspecting Japanese army, caused serious casualties, not to mention that this is still a high-explosive mortar shell, a 75 mm mountain artillery shell that can top the power of a 75 mm mountain artillery shell.

The rest of the Japanese army, desperately charging forward, only by mixing with the soldiers of China, can they dodge the deadly shells, their ideas are good, there is always a gap between reality and ideals, groups of mortar shells, chasing them, blowing up into a wall of death.

What made the Japanese soldiers even more terrifying was that on the desolate position like the moon, one by one light and heavy machine gun fire points suddenly came back to life, the muzzles of the guns spewed flames, roaring and shooting deadly bullets, and wherever the bullets rained, the Japanese soldiers were swept down by rows, spasms, convulsions and lying in pools of blood, and the screams of the dying could be heard in the deafening gunfire.

Such a sudden and ferocious fire blow broke the will of the unsuspecting Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers, who had picked up their lives, turned around and ran back, mortar shells and light and heavy machine gun bullets, chasing their buttocks, and another kind of hard blow, directly driving them back to the starting point of the charge.

Yamaguchi painfully saw that hundreds of shells had fallen from his artillery position within ten minutes, turning into ruins, and those artillery that had been ready to advance, along with the soldiers, had turned into a state of parts, with detonated shells, bent barrels, and gun wheels flying around, a miserable scene.

The artillery of the Chinese army continued to shell brutally, and a part of the artillery that was blown away unfortunately happened to fall on the left foot of the brigade commander and major general of the Imperial Army.

A brigade of charge, more than 1,300 soldiers, only three or four hundred escaped by luck, most of them were wounded, the captain was not so lucky, forever left in a foreign land, not even a corpse can be found, only the bent command knife, to prove the identity of the former owner.

From the time the Japanese army began shelling to the present, in just 40 minutes, an elite Japanese field brigade was completely disabled, and the casualty rate exceeded 90 percent, which fully proved the principle that Tang Qiuli had always carried out, that if he dealt a sudden blow to the enemy with the most ferocious firepower, he would be able to kill the enemy, or at least lose the enemy's combat effectiveness.

The Japanese artillery made a fatal mistake and the artillery fire did not extend, which gave Tang Qiuli the opportunity to quickly mobilize all the mortars and light and heavy machine guns to the front line, creating an opportunity to concentrate the most powerful firepower and give the Japanese army the greatest damage.

It turned out that he was also going to use infantry firepower to crush the first wave of the Japanese attack, but he didn't expect that the Japanese artillery sent such a big opportunity, and the battle that could have been stalemate for a while ended quickly, leaving the soldiers with light weapons, shaking their heads regretfully, I haven't fought with the little devil for a long time, I originally wanted to open the meat, which Cheng thought, was given a round by the artillery and light and heavy machine gunners.

In the first wave of collisions, the Japanese suffered heavy losses, two artillery brigades, all troops were annihilated, there was not much left of an infantry brigade, and the independent division suffered six dead and forty-eight wounded, all caused by Japanese artillery bombardment.

A sudden heavy punch completely knocked Yamaguchi unconscious, he didn't know, where came out of a branch of the army, with such a powerful firepower, look at the explosion point of the shells, at least a hundred mm caliber or more heavy artillery, in order to cause such an artillery effect, that is the imperial army division and regimental level, the formation of the troops, the heavy weapons, how did the army come about.

Blame yourself for being too light on the enemy, if the artillery is not busy preparing for the transfer, it will not be preempted by the other side, and there is no power to fight back, which army is on the opposite side, such a strong firepower, and fierce and cunning fighting style, it will not be beaten to vomit blood, and I don't know which one to attack.

Of course, Yamaguchi still has the capital in his hands, he lost a brigade, at best, he broke a finger, the old book is still there, he can't swallow this breath, when has the imperial army suffered such a big loss, the artillery is gone, it doesn't matter, gather all the grenadiers and heavy machine guns, form a fire assault group, and comprehensively suppress the firepower of the Chinese troops, I want to attack, attack

The position of the opposing Shina troops, surprisingly cooperated with Yamaguchi's actions, did not fight, leaving him ample time to prepare, Yamaguchi firmly believed that the fiasco just now was just a conspiracy and trickery of the Shina people, and his own carelessness, and had nothing to do with the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army.

Without the threat of the other party's artillery, Tang Qiuli was happy and Yamaguchi, he knew that according to the temper of the Japanese generals in this period, he could not swallow this breath, and all they encountered were squadrons that were about to collapse at the touch of a button.

Especially in North China, the Japanese army has not yet learned a profound lesson, and if it is placed on the generals of the Kwantung Army in Northeast China, they will immediately judge that it is the troops of the former Bloody Hand Regiment, and it is possible to turn around and retreat, and call for reinforcements, and they will never launch an attack in such a situation where there is no artillery cover and the opponent's firepower far exceeds their own.
