Chapter 360: Eat them all
"Rush! Kill all the people of Shina! More than 1,000 Japanese soldiers frantically rushed to the position of the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Order all companies, get ready!" Major Zhou Yuanhua, commander of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, stood in the trench and gave the order.
A stiff light and heavy machine gun has already been erected. Mortars and grenadiers have also entered their predetermined positions.
Officers and men have long been ready for battle. At first, the officers and men of the 3rd Infantry Battalion were somewhat apprehensive, fearing that they would be attacked by the enemy's superior forces and fall into a heavy encirclement. However, the arrival of the 2nd Infantry Regiment gave them no worries at all. Everyone thought about how many days* themselves would have to be eliminated in this battle in order to be able to build more merits.
"Battalion Commander Zhou, Ri * himself only sent more than a thousand people to attack. Obviously, they simply didn't know that we had arrived. Peng Zheng, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, had a smile on his face.
"Well, Captain Peng. That's the best way to go. When the time comes, we'll give them another hard one. Zhou Yuanhua's face showed a hint of hideousness. They have already figured out how many Japanese troops are coming. In terms of troops, there is not much difference between the two sides. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Japanese army was far inferior to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. And this also gave the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army the opportunity to completely annihilate the Japanese army.
Now, Major Zhou Yuanhua and Colonel Peng Zheng are thinking not only of defeating the Japanese army in front of them, but of eating them all.
"Battalion Commander Zhou, my opinion is that when the main force of the Japanese * himself launches an attack, I will leave a battalion to reinforce you. The other two battalions were outflanked from the right flank and cut off the retreat of the Japanese himself in one fell swoop. On the left is the Wangbin River, and I can't cross the river because I don't have a boat. The other three directions are all our people. When the time comes, he will naturally be able to eat all those days* in one fell swoop. Colonel Peng Zheng said.
"Okay, Head Peng, I have no opinion." Major Zhou Yuanhua shook his head.
Although, Colonel Peng Zheng's tactics are not new at all, and they are very decent. However, in the current battlefield, such tactics are needed. On the battlefield of Samut Prakanpo, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had already gained an advantage, so naturally there was no need to take risks. Once the soldiers make a dangerous move and win, they will certainly be able to obtain greater benefits. However, failure is often more likely. If it fails, it will inevitably cause huge losses. In the Burma campaign, the dilemma of insufficient troops of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has always existed. Therefore, how to achieve victory at the lowest cost is also a matter that the top management of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has always attached great importance to.
After Colonel Peng Zheng finished his discussion with Major Zhou Yuanhua, he left the front line and went back to prepare. The 3rd Infantry Battalion also began to resist the Japanese attack.
"Mortars fire, other weapons, wait until the Japanese get close to a hundred meters before firing!" Major Zhou Yuanhua gave the order.
His orders were well executed by the troops below.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Mortars one by one, began shelling. One after another, the shells whistled towards the ranks of the Japanese troops.
The Japanese soldiers who were shelled exploded in the ranks, and many Japanese soldiers were blown up into the air, and their stumps and broken arms were scattered everywhere.
Although, the Japanese troops who participated in the offensive were not elite troops. However, their will to fight is still very tenacious. Even it was shelled by 18 60-mm mortars and 6 81-mm heavy mortars of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. But they were still on the offensive and were not intimidated.
It's just that the mortar shelling of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is just an appetizer. Those light and heavy machine guns on the position are the ones who really kill people. Once the Japanese approached, the powerful firepower of these light and heavy machine guns was enough to make them pay heavy losses.
"Damn the Shina people, you know that you can rely on the powerful firepower of the Americans to support them. Without the support of the Americans, they would have only been defeated by us. Seeing that his officers and soldiers were killed under the shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, Lieutenant General Yuzo Matsuyama scolded angrily.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Division Commander. Without the support of the Americans, the Shina would have been defeated by us long ago. The commander of the 56th Wing of the Heavy Soldiers, Koichi Ikeda, said quickly.
Although, the shelling of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was strong. However, the ranks of the Japanese troops were very scattered. So, it didn't cause them much casualties. The Japanese soon rushed to a distance of less than 150 meters from the line of defense of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army.
"Attention companies, fire immediately!" Major Zhou Yuanhua immediately gave the order.
"Da Da Da!" A light and heavy machine gun immediately began to strafe.
The battalion of 15 heavy machine guns and 33 light machine guns fired frantically at the Japanese troops. The dense bullets formed a rain of bullets. Let the attacking Japanese army be like cutting wheat. Constantly being put down.
The casualties of the Japanese army began to soar all at once.
"Yaga!" Seeing this scene, Lieutenant General Yuzo Matsuyama couldn't help but scold.
He knew that under such a powerful firepower attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it would be very difficult to search for the 4th Wing, the 56th Wing, and the 56th Engineer Wing, and to break through the defense line of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
"Our heavy machine guns, quickly counterattack." A Japanese lieutenant shouted at the top of his voice.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, several bullets from a 12.7mm heavy machine gun tore him to pieces.
The heavy machine guns equipped by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army are divided into two types, one is a heavy machine gun with a caliber of 7.62 mm, and the bullets of this heavy machine gun and the bullet of light machine gun are universal. The other is a heavy machine gun with a caliber of 12.7 mm. The power of this heavy machine gun is even more terrifying. Once a 12.7 mm bullet hits the human body, it will cut off the hand and foot at the least, or be directly cut in two.
Of the 15 heavy machine guns in each infantry battalion of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, six were 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, and the remaining nine were 7.62 mm heavy machine guns.
"Da Da Da!" A Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun finally moved to the front line.
However, just after firing a bullet from the bullet protection plate, he was hit by a grenade that fell from the sky. The entire crew of the machine guns was killed and wounded.
In terms of infantry firepower and support artillery, the gap between the Japanese army and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was too great. Not to mention these second-line troops of the Japanese army, even if they are their elite combat units, they are also incomparable with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Even if the quality of the individual soldiers of the Japanese army is stronger than that of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. However, with strong firepower, this gap was completely compensated.
