Chapter 129: White-Knuckle Battle

"Yours, go in and have a look!" Jun Cao kicked one of his subordinates in front of him.

"Hay!" The devil answered, took the gun, cautiously walked outside the firing port, and then looked inside for a while, and only climbed in after making sure that no one was there.

The cement near the firing port had already been turned into pieces due to the shelling, and the devil had just climbed in, which immediately caused the collapse of the cement block, and the sound of "click" sounded, and the devil was startled, and quickly lay down and did not move.

"What's going on?" Jun Cao asked loudly.

"It's all right, no one," the devil shouted, and ran back as fast as he could.

Jun Cao's brows furrowed, and he glared at him viciously and asked, "Are you sure you see clearly?" Is there an entrance or something? ”

"Yes. The inside had all collapsed, and even someone must have been crushed underneath. ”

Jun Cao beckoned behind him, and Kataoka gave an order, and the large army moved forward again.

Soon, more than 300 devils surrounded the Dazhou Fort. "Strange, don't the people of China be fortified?" Kataoka said as he stood at the firing port of the main gun, looking at the barrel that had been deformed and bent.

"Your Excellency, what shall we do next?"

"Keep searching, moving forward."

More than 300 devils lined up in a skirmish line, and began to search forward with the continent battery as the center. The Continent Fort had inflicted heavy losses on the landing force in yesterday's battle, and although it was now in ruins, it was still the most dangerous existence in this area in the hearts of the devils. Kataoka Kaneshiro subconsciously focused on the search, and many devils couldn't help but relax their vigilance after discovering that there were no enemy troops lurking near the fort.

Kataoka quickly noticed this, and he immediately shouted a warning to his subordinates: "Cheer me up, haven't you woken up from yesterday's blow?" Think about it, could the people of China really be undefended? If you look at this terrain, this must have been dug up by the people of China, why did they dig up this undulating terrain, isn't it just to snipe us to land? ”

Whether it's Yamamoto Fifty-six or Arima Masamune, the reason why they think that Wanning is the focus of the defense of the Cadet Army is a big reason for the terrain in this area. Centered on the coastline, the terrain is undulating on both sides. This terrain is naturally artificial, in order to better snipe the landing force.

Kataoka's words brought the devils back to the tense state they had when they first landed. They slowly pulled away, and then worked in squads, with one squad looking for suitable terrain to arm and cover the other squads for each slope. After five slopes in a row, that is, five hurdles, and seeing that they were about to climb the first flood control levee, Zhang Dali finally gave the order to attack.

The trainees of the 502nd Regiment have long been unable to hold back, and the troops directly under the brigade following Zhang Dali are okay, when they rushed over from Hele, they also let out gusts of wind outside, and the officers and soldiers of the 502nd Regiment have been eating, drinking, and Lazar underground for several days, and many people have long been holding back a cloud of anger in their hearts, just waiting for catharsis. They have such an experience, completely because of these devils. Grandma's, if it weren't for their idea of beating us in Hainan, would Lao Tzu need to lie dormant like a turtle in the ground? In teams of eleven people, they quickly rushed out of the tunnel and climbed the levee.

One squad leader after another made a ready gesture to the regiment commander Shen Baoguo behind him, Shen Baoguo looked up at the embankment, opened the safety of his gun, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Fight!" Then he picked up the gun and pulled the trigger at a few devils more than 50 meters away.

"Grenades!" A squad leader shouted, and everyone in their squad except the machine gunner threw the grenades out of their hands.

The sound of gunfire and explosions rang out in an instant, and dozens of devils who were moving towards the body were caught off guard, and they were shot and fell down, and a few unlucky guys were directly lifted off by the gas caused by the grenade explosion, screaming and flying out of the air.

The devil's giant ship cannon is still eyeing the sea, and if their fighters are to rush to the battlefield, it will definitely not take more than a quarter of an hour. In response to this, Zhang Dali asked Shen Baoguo when arranging tactics: Be sure to fight quickly.

The sudden attack knocked down dozens of devils, and Shen Baoguo immediately asked the trumpeter to blow the trumpet, and then stood up and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!" ”

"Kill!" His guards immediately stepped forward in front of him, shouting as he began to shoot roll call, one shell gun in each hand.

Zhang Dali was ruthless enough to send half of the 502 regiment at one time. More than 600 people dealt with 300 rain devils, and the weapons were the most suitable assault infantry and submachine guns for close combat, and after the devils of the Kataoka squadron were suppressed, there was no chance to raise their heads.

The sudden appearance of the enemy did not make Kataoka Kenji feel panicked, feeling that the defenders' firepower was very strong, he did not have the slightest fear, but had a trace of surprise: "Stupid Shina, don't you know that we have a huge ship cannon?" He shouted, "Get down, all of them behind the dirt slope." ”

The devils immediately shrank back, they lay tightly on the ground, and many of them turned their heads to look at the ships in the distance, and the corners of their mouths showed cruel smiles. The fortifications of the Shina were indeed well designed, but they certainly did not expect that when the fleet began to fire, this area near the sea would become a refuge for the imperial army.

"The little devil has retracted!" The chief of staff of the 502nd regiment said to Shen Baoguo.

Shen Baoguo smiled and shouted: "Suspend the pursuit, bombardier, on!" ”

More than 200 cadets, known as bombardiers, stepped forward a few meters under the cover of their comrades, and then began to drop bombs.

A little farther away on the sea, the artillery on the Japanese ship began to adjust the height of the muzzle, Arima Zhengwen picked up the binoculars and watched, he suddenly shouted: "Eight grids, cunning Zhina." Quick, notify the landing force and let them withdraw quickly! ”

Would the cadet army be so kind that they would dig ready-made fortifications similar to trenches for the Japanese to hide from their own artillery fire? The answer, of course, is no. The immersive Kataoka Kanichi didn't find anything, and the onlookers were clear, and Arima Masafumi, who was familiar with the laws of artillery warfare, immediately saw the fame.

Under the flood control embankment, looking from a distance, on the beach near the sea, there are not many ups and downs in the hurdles one after another, so that as long as the bombardier on the opposite side of the branch is strong enough to throw grenades into the imperial array, then under the positioning of those hurdles, the imperial army between the two hurdles will have no room to dodge - "The Shina people are really vicious," Arima scolded angrily, and his self-confidence was hit hard again.

The grenades fell from the sky, and although some of them went over their heads, they hit the slope behind them, and immediately rebounded into the "trench". As the first grenade exploded in the Japanese array, Kanji Kataoka finally understood the usefulness of the undulating terrain that the Cadets had painstakingly cultivated. "If you don't hide in and directly attack the Shina people, then you can at least kill and injure some of the Shina people, right?" Thinking like this, he couldn't help but feel remorse and hatred.

The fleet in the distance finally began to fire cannons, first with a few sparse cannon shots, which were test fired in order to shoot the Yuan correctly. A few minutes later, dozens of ships of various types opened fire at the same time, and the screaming of shells filled the ears of the officers and men of the Chinese and Japanese sides who were fighting.

"One battalion and one company continue to attack, and the others withdraw!" When the first shell exploded on the sea in front of the Dazhou Battery, Shen Baoguo gave this order.

The trainees withdrew in an orderly manner, except for a battalion and a company of more than 100 cadets, all the others disappeared from Arima's telescope lens like moles.

"Brothers, are you afraid?!" Fang Yun, the commander of a battalion and a company, threw the last grenade on his body, and then raised his assault and asked his subordinates.

"I'm afraid to beg, Lao Tzu should have died when he was in Nanjing, and it was worth it to be able to live until now!" A bearded soldier said.

Fang Yun smiled: "Ha Lu Ha, good brothers, brothers, kill the enemy with me!" Come on! ”

"Rush!"

Arima Zhengwen's side, a young man put down his binoculars and asked him, "Your Excellency, do you want to continue shelling?" ”

In order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops, each ship appropriately increased the firing range, and the first few rounds of shelling just now only killed more than 20 junior soldiers, which made Arima Masafumi very dissatisfied. And as the remaining cadets began to rush down the flood control levee and the imperial army under the levee became entangled, if the naval artillery bombardment still wanted to reap the results, the only way to do it was to carry out indiscriminate shelling.

"Wait!" Arima said.

"Hay!" Shao Zuo gestured to the signal soldier above his head, and the signal soldier immediately waved the signal flag in his hand to convey Arima's order. After a few minutes, the ships stopped shelling in turn.

In less than five minutes, nearly 500 grenades exploded among the devils of the Kataoka squadron, and less than 150 of the more than 300 devils finally survived this round of bullet rain. The little devils were not without brains, they immediately realized that if they continued to stay in this seemingly safe trench, they would only continue to be bombed, so they howled and rushed out one by one, so they happened to collide with Fang Yun and them.

Zhang Dali stood behind the peephole with an indifferent face and watched the battlefield. Seeing a student and a devil colliding together, the former leaned forward and pierced the devil's left chest with a bayonet, and the devil couldn't even lift the gun, he pursed his lips and relaxed a little.

When it comes to weapons, the cadet army has an absolute advantage. In close combat, one side can shoot continuously, but the other side must shoot and pull the bolt, this difference is too obvious. Of course, because the distance was very close, and both sides rushed forward, white-knuckle combat still became the main mode of combat on the battlefield. Seeing the opportunity, some scholars quickly pulled out the machete on their bodies - the machete is not a big knife, this is exactly the change that Ouyang Yun made to the armament of the five armed forces in response to the jungle in Hainan. More apprentices rely on spears and devils to fight alone.

For a long time, both the Japanese and the Chinese believed that the Japanese would have the upper hand if they fought with bayonets. But now the real situation on the battlefield is that it is the student army that has the advantage in fighting bayonets.

The devils obviously didn't expect this to be the case, so when one devil after another was harvested by the bayonets of the cadets, they covered their wounds and looked at the bloody bayonets in front of them, as if they were killed and did not believe it.

- Is the blood flowing from the spear of the Chinese man really his own?
