Chapter 148: Hard Shock (First Update)
Countless soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army rushed to the Japanese position. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Behind them, mortars of various calibers and Type 92 infantry guns, ready to fire.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the people of China have attacked. They threw tens of thousands of men into attacking our positions. The commander of the front, request for reinforcements. Bai Jia Ximing Dazuo sweated profusely and reported.
"Tens of thousands? Bastard, does that man really think he can break through our defenses in one go? Lieutenant General Mutaguchi was furious.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I'm afraid we'll have to send reinforcements up. Otherwise, the defense of the front line will really be in jeopardy. Major General Jiro Ichida also said.
The situation in Homarin is indeed very critical. Although they never expected this, they can only grit their teeth now and resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. If you fail, the consequences are dire.
The Japanese defense line was now in shambles. The fortifications built by the Japanese army had been almost destroyed in the heavy shelling. On the battlefield, there was minced meat and stumps and severed arms everywhere, and the whole thing was like the battlefield of Shura.
"Get up quickly, is there anyone alive? The people of China have attacked! All for me to pick up arms and enter the position. The Japanese officers on the front line scolded loudly. As if driving livestock, the Japanese soldiers who had survived the shelling were driven into the position.
Previously, the Japanese army deployed two wings and three brigades on the front line, with a total of more than 7,000 and nearly 8,000 people. However, in the half-day terrorist shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they have been reduced to only half of their personnel. Moreover, the remaining Japanese soldiers were frightened and their morale plummeted. Ignorant of them, even if they enter the position, it is still unknown how much combat effectiveness they can exert.
"Bang! Bang! ā
The crisp sound of gunfire like fried beans rang out from the position. Many Japanese soldiers lay on the collapsed trenches and began to shoot.
"Poof!"
A blood flower bloomed on the chest of a soldier of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, and due to inertia, he rushed forward a few meters before falling to the ground. Blood flowed from his chest, staining the ground red.
"Da Da Da!" The Type 96 light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns on the Japanese positions also began to strafe.
Many of the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army who attacked were hit and fell to the ground. The rest of the people also hurriedly lay on the ground, not daring to attack again.
The feeling of bullets flying overhead is enough to make people's scalp tingle. In particular, those recruits who have just enlisted in the army are under tremendous pressure. It seems that if you raise your head a little more, you may be hit. People with a little weaker willpower may not be able to persevere.
"Mortars, infantry artillery fire!"
The commanders of the regiments commanding the attack, as soon as they saw that the attack was blocked, immediately ordered.
As a result, 107-mm heavy mortars, 81-mm medium mortars and 60-mm light mortars, as well as Type 92 infantry guns, opened fire.
Although these guns are not large in caliber and powerful, they are better than the fast rate of fire. At the same time, it can shoot in a curved way, making it an excellent infantry support artillery.
After a large number of mortars and infantry guns fired, the Japanese soldiers on the front line once again experienced a rain of bullets. It was as if the shells rained down on the Japanese positions. They even fell directly into their trenches and tore the Japanese soldiers to pieces.
A shell from a 107-mm mortar hit a point of heavy machine-gun fire on the Japanese army. The entire heavy machine gun fire point was blown into the sky in the explosion. The Type 92 heavy machine gun was directly blown into parts.
"Division commander, the brethren of the air force found out that the Japanese * himself was sending reinforcements to the front." A staff officer reports.
"Please ask the air force to hold back the reinforcements of the Japanese * himself. Let the artillery regiments and the artillery battalions of the regiments continue to fire and block the reinforcements of the Japanese himself. Sun Changwu then ordered.
Under the onslaught of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the Japanese troops on the front line suffered extremely heavy losses. But if their reinforcements arrive in time, this will affect the offensive of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army.
"Yes, Commander."
"The division commander has an order to continue firing and suppress the reinforcements of the Japanese * himself." The commander of the artillery regiment, Lu Shan, ordered.
So, the artillerymen, who had just rested for a while, dragged their tired bodies and began to fire at the Japanese again.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ā
This time, a large number of artillery shells were launched at the deep positions of the Japanese army, and the shells fell into the ranks of the Japanese reinforcements, blowing up those Japanese soldiers into the air and splitting them apart.
At the same time, the P-51B fighters in the sky also began to strafe the Japanese troops, further suppressing them.
"Da Da Da!"
A P-51B fighter flew over the Japanese troops, and a barrage of aerial machine gun fire swept over, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell in pools of blood. The rest of the Japanese soldiers were also frightened and lay on the ground, not daring to take a step forward.
The interdictional shelling of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, coupled with the attack of the air force, made it necessary for the Japanese to send reinforcements to reach the front line at great cost. Although, the arrival of these reinforcements made the Japanese defense line reinforced. But overall, in the face of the onslaught of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, their defense line was still precarious.
"Rush! Brethren. ā
A company commander of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army ordered. More than 200 soldiers under his command attacked the Japanese position when they encountered heavy artillery bombardment with the help of the Japanese defense line, and when the fire was suppressed, they launched a fierce attack on the Japanese position.
They charged all the way to less than a hundred meters from the Japanese position, only to be re-suppressed by the Japanese.
"Heavy machine gun, give me the firepower to suppress the day himself. Mortars, knock out their machine-gun fire points. The company commander ordered. A 12.7 mm heavy machine gun and five 7.62 mm heavy machine guns, as well as nine light machine guns, began a frenzied strafing fire.
Dense fire hit the Japanese trenches, splashing up a cloud of dust. Many Japanese soldiers were shot and fell in the trenches, never to be heard again. The other Japanese soldiers could only lie in the trenches, not daring to rise again.
The heavy machine guns used by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army were all fed by bullet chains, and one bullet chain had 250 rounds. Therefore, the continuous firepower is very strong, unlike the Japanese army's Type 92 heavy machine gun, which uses a bullet protection plate, a bullet protection plate, only 30 bullets, in the fierce battle, it will be used up in a few seconds.
Under the fierce firepower of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the Japanese army could not even raise its head. (To be continued.) )
