Chapter 395: Miserable

In the attack on Bangkok, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army invested six infantry regiments and more than 20,000 people at one time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 These troops, divided into six routes, launched an attack on the city of Bangkok.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Infantry artillery and mortars are being fire-supported. Shells rained down on the city. Although, the city of Bangkok has been bombed into rubble. However, this does not mean that the Japanese * himself stationed in the fortified city was completely killed. Therefore, when the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is attacking, fire support is still indispensable.

However, in the two consecutive days of intensive shelling and bombardment by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, not only did the buildings in Bangkok almost raze to the ground. Similarly, the fortifications built by the Japanese army in the city were devastated. As a result, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the morning, and the fortifications on which they could rely also suffered heavy losses.

Infantry artillery and mortars, although not very powerful. But it was light in weight, had a fast rate of fire, and was able to accompany the troops on their way. This is undoubtedly an excellent infantry support firepower for the infantry of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Farther away, on the artillery positions of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, howitzers and field guns were also on standby. If the infantry attack of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is frustrated, or if the Japanese artillery revives, these artillery will launch artillery bombardments to support the infantry in battle, destroy the Japanese resistance, and clear the way for the infantry to attack.

"Quick, enter the position immediately, the people of the branch have come up, defeat them for me!" A second lieutenant squad leader of the Japanese army came out of his hiding place and ordered loudly.

His squad held a position on the outskirts of Bangkok. Originally, they built a defensive position consisting of trenches and ring fortifications. At the same time, two Type 92 heavy machine guns were also attached from the brigade. Together with their own two light machine guns and two grenadiers, an extremely powerful network of fire was already formed.

However, they did not expect the overwhelming shelling and bombardment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to make their squad suffer heavy losses. At the same time, the fortifications that had been painstakingly built were also destroyed. Two Type 92 heavy machine guns were all blown up. Of the two Type 96 light machine guns, only one remains. Two grenadiers, again, there is no one left. The entire squad originally consisted of fifty-four people, but now there are only about thirty people left. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of this squad has lost most of it.

If it were in the West, with such heavy losses, the troops would have collapsed long ago. However, the Japanese army was very strong-willed, and even with such heavy losses, they continued to hold on.

The one who was ordered to attack this position of the Japanese army was an infantry company of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. As long as the Japanese army captured this position, they could follow the streets and attack the city of Bangkok.

"Mortar preparation, three rapid shots. Subsequently, the 1st platoon attacked, and the 2nd platoon made a detour. Strive to knock down this position of the Japanese army at one time. The captain company commander ordered.

The entire infantry company had six 60-mm light mortars, four heavy machine guns, 11 light machine guns, nine grenadiers, and six bazookas. This kind of firepower is undoubtedly very powerful. Even in the face of a large group of Japanese troops, it was enough to resist it. Not to mention, facing a disabled infantry squad of the Japanese army.

Six mortars had been erected, aimed at the positions of the Japanese troops, and the shelling began.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Six mortars, in just a few seconds, fired eighteen shells at the positions of the Japanese troops.

Subsequently, nine grenadiers also began to fire. One grenade after another, flew towards the Japanese position. Directly bombed the entire position into a mess. Taking advantage of this time, the 1st and 2nd platoons launched an attack.

"Yaga! Damn the Shina people, how can their firepower be so strong? The Japanese squad leader shrank in the trench and yelled.

The fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army once again caused his team to pay a lot of casualties.

Finally, the shelling ended, and the Japanese soldiers poked their heads out and prepared to fire to resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

However, the light and heavy machine guns of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had already begun to strafe the Japanese positions.

"Da Da Da!"

Light and heavy machine guns fired wildly, as if they didn't care about bullets at all. The dense rain of bullets, the Japanese troops on the positions they hit, could not raise their heads at all. There were already several Japanese soldiers who were hit by bullets because they poked their heads out. All they could do was huddle in the trenches and listen to the bullets whizzing over their heads.

"Grenades!" With the help of the powerful fire cover of light and heavy machine guns, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had already rushed to a position only twenty or thirty meters away from the Japanese defense line.

As soon as the second lieutenant platoon commander gave the order, dozens of grenades flew out.

Although, most of the grenades did not fall into the trenches. However, several grenades still fell into the trenches, turning the Japanese soldiers inside on their backs and causing heavy losses.

The soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army took advantage of this opportunity to attack the trenches and began to clear the Japanese troops inside.

Subsequently, another platoon also detoured from the flank and flanked the Japanese.

The remnants of the Japanese infantry squad lasted only ten minutes before they were all wiped out. In the process of attacking, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army only paid the price of one soldier killed and five soldiers injured.

After taking this Japanese position, the infantry company of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army continued to attack the city without resting.

Bangkok is a big city though. However, that's only relative. With the exception of a few main streets, the rest of the streets are narrow. After the houses on both sides were basically destroyed by the powerful artillery fire of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the masonry and rubble collapsed, making the already narrow streets even narrower. Ruins and broken walls are everywhere.

As soon as this infantry company of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army entered this street, it was attacked by the Japanese army.

At the corner at the end of the street, two Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns formed a crossfire and began a frantic strafing fire.

Several soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army who were walking in front were hit on the spot and died. The rest of the soldiers also hurriedly lay on the ground, suppressed by the heavy machine gun fire of the Japanese army.

"Mortar, knock out the machine-gun fire point of the Japanese himself." The company commander ordered angrily.

"Company commander, the firing point of the day * himself is located in the dead end of the shooting, and it is difficult to hit." The mortar man looked embarrassed.
