Chapter 326: Miserable

"Rush!"

After the order to attack was given, the officers and men of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army jumped out of their positions, carried small wooden boats, and rushed to the river bank. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

From the west bank of the Wangbin River to the sandbar in the river, it is more than 40 meters, and the water flow is relatively turbulent and the water depth is also deep. Wading on foot, or swimming in arms, is very difficult.

Fortunately, before the attack, the sappers and infantry of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were rushing to make tools for crossing the river. These small wooden boats, although rudimentary, can only carry seven or eight people at a time. And it is paddled by human power. However, it is not a big problem to cross the river at thirty or forty meters. As long as you can reach the sandbar in the river, you can carry the wooden boat to the other side of the sandbar and cross the river again. Every time you need to cross the river, it is only thirty or forty meters.

Except for a large number of troops stationed on the largest sandbar No. 5, the Japanese did not have any troops stationed on the other small sandbanks. And this also gave the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army a chance.

Thousands of officers and soldiers, divided into two lines, launched an attack. The officers and men lowered the boat into the river, and then slid the oars with all their might, rowing towards the sandbar in the river. At a distance of tens of meters, it will not take much time for these small boats.

"Your Excellency, the Wing Commander, the Chinese have attacked. They are crossing the river. Captain Kishida, I would like to ask for support. A communications officer reported to Haruji Morita.

"Tell Kishida-kun, hold on for a while, and I'll send reinforcements to him as soon as possible." Morita Haruji Osa said perfunctorily.

Kishida Kanan was the captain of the 3rd Brigade of the 8th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, and their brigade of more than 1,000 people was ordered to garrison the largest sandbar in the center of the Wangbin River.

It's just that when the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army launched a fierce artillery bombardment, this sandbar was not less taken care of. The defensive positions that had been built with great difficulty had almost been destroyed. The casualties were even more severe. The casualties of the entire brigade have exceeded 40 percent. The remaining troops were only more than 600 people.

While asking Kishida Kanan to hold his position, Morita Haruki also asked the division commander, Lieutenant General Sekihara Roku, for support. He knew that the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army before was just an appetizer. Now the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has launched a fierce attack, and this is the real battle.

"Heavy machine guns and infantry artillery opened fire and suppressed the China." Kishida Kanan Shaozo gave an order with a cold face. He knew that he and the brigade he led were probably going to be buried on the sandbar in the Wangbin River this time.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain." The herald immediately went to give orders.

A standard infantry brigade of the Japanese army, with more than 1,100 people, in addition to four infantry squadrons, also had a machine gun squadron, equipped with 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and an artillery squad, equipped with two Type 92 infantry guns.

Such weapons and equipment are still very powerful. At least on the Chinese battlefield, it is possible to crush the Chinese * army. It's just that compared with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it is even worse. Especially in the previous shelling, they lost a lot of equipment. Of the 12 Type 92 heavy machine guns, only 8 can still be used, and the two Type 92 infantry guns are all lost.

"Da Da Da!"

The Japanese heavy machine guns began to strafe, and the dense bullets strafed the surface of the river, splashing one after another.

Some small wooden boats were hit, and immediately rows of bullet holes were punched. Many of the soldiers above were also shot and fell into the river. Blood flowed from their bodies, staining the river red.

"Order the mortar and infantry guns of the various divisions to open fire and suppress the machine-gun fire of the Japanese * himself!" Major General Lu Hengliang gave the order.

The heavy mortars and Type 92 infantry guns of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army opened fire one after another.

For a while, the shells fell like raindrops on the No. 5 sandbank, and the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, which were firing, suddenly fell into a lot of silence.

"Die, Shina!"

A Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun fired frantically. The dense bullets hit a small wooden boat of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army full of bullet holes. The seven or eight soldiers above suffered heavy casualties.

However, then a heavy mortar shell fell from the sky, hitting the machine gun fire point, and blowing the machine gun fire point into the sky. The heavy machine gun was blown to parts and scattered all over the ground. The rest of the machine gun crew were also killed in the explosion.

The 8th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army was deployed on the east bank of the Wangbin River, and those heavy machine guns and infantry guns, as well as mortars, also began to attack. The officers of the 8th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army also knew very well that once the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army took control of the sandbar in the Wangbin River, then it would be only one step away from landing on the east bank of the Wangbin River. At that time, it will be even more difficult for the Japanese army to resist their attack.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

One after another, the shells exploded in the Wangbin River, splashing columns of water.

The officers and men of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army rode in small boats and walked through the rain of bullets.

"Boom!"

A shell, which hit a small boat. Suddenly, the officers and men of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army on the small wooden boat fell in a pool of blood. The small wooden boat was torn apart because of this.

Several officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army on board fell directly into the river and were washed away by the river.

During the heavy shelling of the Japanese army, small wooden boats were hit from time to time.

Fortunately, the powerful artillery of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army then launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the Japanese positions on the east bank of the Wangbin River, so that the Japanese artillery and machine gun fire points that had managed to escape with great difficulty were destroyed again in the fierce shelling.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the officers and men of the 1st Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army rushed to the small sandbanks in the Wangbin River and began to disembark and shoot at the Japanese troops occupying the No. 5 sandbank.

"Quick, quick! The machine gun is erected by the machine gunner. The grenadiers attacked, covering the other brothers. The others immediately hidden! A class leader yelled.

Light machine guns were erected and began to pour fire on the Japanese positions. The grenadiers also began to fire, firing grenades into the Japanese positions on the opposite side.

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot rang out, and the squad leader, who was commanding, fell to the ground clutching his chest.

"Little devil, I'm drafting grandma!"

When the soldiers saw the squad leader killed, they all roared loudly. At the same time, they also fired harder.

The sniper didn't say a word, and quickly found the Japanese soldier who had just shot their squad leader, and avenged the squad leader with a shot in the head.
