Chapter 64: The Battle of Madang
Today, the sky was not good, and the officers and men of a certain company of the 307th Regiment stationed at the position, at the request of Lian Changjiang, watched the situation on the mountain road with their eyes wide open and ears pricked up. During the day, they annihilated nearly one brigade of the Japanese army, which is a good record, but their current enemy has a division, so the devils of this brigade are far from hurting their muscles and bones. On the contrary, because he has already paid a lot of price, even in order to give an explanation to the above, Yamada will continue to launch an onslaught.
At more than seven o'clock, the sky was not very dark, and the student soldiers in the lookout post suddenly noticed a trace of abnormality, and he hurriedly reported to the company commander Fang Hongyun. Fang Hongyun immediately came to this commanding heights and made personal observations. At the foot of the mountain, about 600 meters away from the first line of defense, the Japanese position was a busy scene, many devil soldiers were busy, and about ten minutes later, a strange-looking thing was carried up the mountain by more than a dozen devils.
"Little devil, which one is this?" The trainees were talking, and many people began to check the guns and ammunition in their hands and prepare for battle. Fang Hongyun paid close attention to the movements of the Japanese army, and saw that three things came out of the devil position at the foot of the mountain, and a large number of infantry were behind, and he had a hunch: the little devil came prepared, and that thing must be targeted, so he didn't know if the road could really play a role.
The answer is yes. Because of the presence of that thing, the Japanese army marched slowly, and it took nearly twenty minutes to reach the halfway point of the mountain. When they were still more than 100 meters away from the first line of defense of the Scholar Army, Fang Hongyun was worried that there were ghosts, so he gave the order to open fire in advance. Immediately the gunfire rang out like beans. Then, a scene that made Fang Hongyun and his men stunned appeared, a dense bullet hit those things, although the fire was splashing everywhere and the sound of collision was piercing, it failed to penetrate the past. As soon as the gunfire rang out here, the marching speed of the Japanese army suddenly increased, and two tongues of fire shot out from it, but it was the little devil who began to shoot back. Two crooked machine guns opened fire at the same time, and one cadet stopped breathing because his head and face were a little more fortified, and he was hit by two bullets in his face.
The bullet couldn't penetrate that thing, and Fang Hongyun couldn't help but be a little panicked. The Japanese advance is picking up, so in ten minutes at most they will be able to advance to the front of the position. The reason why this first line of defense is strong is that it jams the bell mouth of the mountain road, and it can concentrate its firepower against the devils who can only launch a small attack. Once this first line of defense is breached, the Japanese army will be able to rely on it to deploy forces. And once their superiority in strength can be brought into play, not to mention that the strength of a regiment is now less than on the mountain, even a full regiment will not be able to fight the little devils. "Machine guns, grenades, hit me hard!" Fang Hongyun shouted loudly, and at the same time did not dare to ignore it, and immediately reported the situation to Lian Changjiang through the walkie-talkie.
Lian Yangtze River and they had just built two trebuchets, and at this time they were organizing people to find and collect stone bullets, and when he learned of this situation, he looked down condescendingly, and saw that the little devil could actually prevent Wei Qing's bullets and disease-type bullets this time, and he was very surprised at first, and then, he saw the catapult next to him but smiled. "It's good to have prepared this, bullets can't pierce it, okay, let's use stone bullets, I'll see if that thing can even resist stones," he said to Geng Shu. He first called Fang Hongyun back, telling him not to panic, the regiment headquarters had already figured out a way to deal with the little devil. Immediately gathered the men and began to operate the catapult.
Takahashi saw that the "moving chariot" was working, and the defenders' bullets and bullets met the chariot, although the visual effects and sound effects were not bad, but they could not be penetrated, and he said with a smile: "Yanxi, it seems that I don't need to jump the Yangtze River." ”
As early as when the first order was given, Yamada once said that if he couldn't capture Xiaogushan before dark, he would jump directly into the Yangtze River by himself. The reason why Xiaogushan is easy to defend and difficult to attack is that the key lies in this first line of defense, and as long as this line of defense is broken, then the next step is to break through. At this time, it was just after dark, and if the battle could be resolved within half an hour, the sloppiness would be considered passable. The "activity chariot" worked wonders, Takahashi was delighted to see that he was able to capture Xiaogushan, and he didn't have to jump the Yangtze River, but the main reason was because it was the result of his improvement. The co-captain was complacent, and several captains followed suit, opening and closing their mouths The co-captain's Excellency was wise and the co-captain's Excellency was mighty, which made Takahashi feel fluttering.
After fighting for more than six hours during the day, the imperial army paid a large number of troops, but it was never able to break through the first line of defense of the defenders. Now, with the help of the "mobile chariot", the first line of defense of the defenders is precarious, and those devil soldiers who are charging in the front line, after experiencing the initial apprehension, have been deeply impressed by the charm of the "mobile chariot", and they are all high-spirited, never expecting that a nightmare is waiting for them.
"Put!" On the hillside, Lian Yangtze shouted calmly. As several students let go of the cable in their hands, with a "whew", a boulder was thrown out. The first time was a test firing, so the stone flew down the mountain without any sense of direction, but it was too hard. Even the Yangtze River was not discouraged, "Come again!" Again, this time, the trolley stroke of the catapult was shortened a lot, and the stone projectile was smashed down, but it was smashed into a bunch of devil soldiers who followed the "moving chariot" closely. One of the devil soldiers was hit directly in the head by a stone bullet, and he didn't even have time to scream before he died. This live ammunition is about 30 catties, and the mass is not very large, but after the catapult accelerates, the kinetic energy contained in it is amazingly large. It smashed the devil's head into a red and white mess, and then bounced to the ground and hit the foot of another devil, and the devil's foot shattered, and he immediately cried out in pain. With him as the center, the devils around him only saw a black object whistling and smashing it, and then one soldier was smashed to the ground, and the other was sitting on the mountain road and screaming miserably, so frightened that they questioned each other about what happened.
The riot in the offensive sequence attracted Takahashi's attention, and he asked one of the staff officers beside him: "What's going on!" ”
It was already dark at this time, and they were three or four hundred meters away from the place where the riot had taken place, how could they see the situation there. The staff officer hurriedly sent soldiers to question, and the devil began to go up the mountain, and there were screams from the riot just now, but this time two rocks came at the same time, and the number of people who were shot increased to five. In addition to one of these five devils who was hit in the chest and confessed directly, four of them were injured, and all of their injuries were comminuted fractures. There were a lot of people who called for this, which not only made the devils around them tremble, but also affected the devils in the three chariots in front of them, they couldn't figure out what was going on, and couldn't help but slow down, and this gave Lian Changjiang and them enough time to adjust the strength of the catapult.
One after another whistling black things flew overhead, Fang Hongyun and the others only knew that Lu Dao was made by their own people, but they didn't know what kind of object Lu Dao was. But it doesn't matter, the howls from the devils below tell them that this thing is working. Originally, because he couldn't shoot through what the little devil was hiding in, Fang Hongyun's morale had been affected, but now, the morale of the soldiers had risen again. During this time, Fang Hongyun had already thought of a way to deal with the "mobile chariot". "Bullets don't work, then use cluster grenades, I don't believe it's more powerful than the little devil's tank!" He said this to the company instructors and platoon commanders, personally selected a squad of fighters to form a death squad, and decided to use cluster grenades to deal with the secret weapon of the little devils when the situation was critical. And just when the daredevils showed their faces and were ready to die with the enemy, the black thing whistling down from the mountain had already disintegrated this attack carefully organized by the little devils.
Finally, a stone bullet hit the front "moving chariot" head-on, and hundreds of catties of kinetic energy smashed on the military card baffle at once, and the devils inside were unsuspecting and were smashed by the baffle that came back and broke their heads, and they howled miserably and were slapped to the ground by the baffle, and then they were subjected to a volley of Fang Hongyun's students. This time, except for the four devils who were stubbornly protected by the baffle, no one else was spared from being hit into a hornet's nest by bullets.
"It's broken! The little devil's battle formation is broken! A student soldier shouted in victory. Fang Hongyun saw it clearly, and shouted at the most opportune moment: "Grenade, grenade!" Most of the fighters had grenades in front of them, dozens of grenades smashed over, dense explosions rang out, and the flames enveloped the place where the three moving vehicles were.
The fire ignited by the grenade explosion pointed the way for Lian Changjiang and the others above, and two stone bullets fell down, but this time two stone bullets hit a "moving chariot" at the same time, and the chariot was smashed down as a whole when they landed. The cadets were still throwing grenades, and more than a dozen grenades flew past, and the fireworks completely enveloped the second "moving vehicle" at the time.
In just about ten minutes, the "mobile chariot" that Takahashi and the devils under the mountain had high hopes for was folded two, and that's it, what made them feel terrified was that once the chariot fell, none of the soldiers inside could stand up again. And in the light of the blazing fire, they finally saw what it was that smashed the chariot. A devil captain shouted in disbelief: "Stone, it's actually a stone!" ”
Takahashi was dumbfounded, he watched as another stone flew in the firelight and hit the third moving chariot directly, the chariot was cracked as a whole when it landed, and one of the soldiers was even hit by a stone bullet on his helmet, and then his whole head was deflated, his heart beat faster, and suddenly he shouted: "No! ”
