Chapter 59: The Turtle in the Urn (Ask for Collection)
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, you are serious. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info lowly rank, will definitely attack with all their strength and defeat the people of China! ”
When several captains saw that Tochigi Koosa asked them so solemnly, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and express their willingness to attack.
Tochigi Kodaisa was their boss, and in the highly hierarchical Japanese army, once the boss said this, they couldn't refuse. Otherwise, once it spreads, it will arouse severe rebuke from the entire Japanese military circles. They can't stay any longer in the Japanese army. Even if Tochigi made the wrong decision, they had to carry it out.
A soldier's duty is to obey orders, and this is particularly thoroughly carried out in the Japanese army. Superiors can verbally abuse or even physically punish subordinates. The subordinates are absolutely not able to resist except to obey and endure. If you resist, you will be guilty of a big taboo.
"The 1st Brigade, the 3rd Brigade, the 3rd Brigade of the 55th Wing, the 3rd Brigade of the 56th Wing, all threw themselves into this attack. I believe that we will be able to defeat the people of China. Tochigi said through gritted teeth.
In addition to the 2nd Brigade of the 46th Wing, where the captain was vacant, Kodaisa Tochigi devoted all his troops to launch this attack. It can be seen that he is planning to make a desperate bet and want to do his best.
If this attack fails to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, then they will no longer have the possibility of victory.
By the time the Japanese launched a full-scale attack, it was already 12 noon. The armies on both sides had already had lunch, so there was no need for lunch.
Under the orders of the officers, more than 2,000 Japanese officers and men, lined up in a sparse skirmish line, launched an attack on the positions of the 3rd Regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Although the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army were deployed outside the city, the Japanese army, which had suffered heavy losses in the shelling, obviously wanted to concentrate its forces in order to achieve a breakthrough in the defense line of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
"Attack, defeat the Chinese and retake Myitkyina!" Led by the officers, the Japanese launched an attack.
The junior Japanese officer brandishing the command knife rushed to the front. In the back is a Japanese soldier with a Type 99 rifle.
Although the horror on the faces and eyes of these Japanese soldiers had not completely dissipated, the appearance they showed was undoubtedly very fierce.
"Rush! His Majesty the Emperor onboard! Kill all the people of Shina! "The Japanese soldiers shouted slogans and attacked. It's as if it gives them greater confidence.
"The little devil has launched an attack, it is the position of the 3rd regiment, tell Chen Dehai, don't be stingy with ammunition, give full play to our firepower advantage, and we must thwart the attack of the little devil!" Qin Shou immediately ordered.
"Yes, Captain." A herald immediately went to deliver the order.
"Brethren, the little devil has come up. Hit me hard! Kill them all! Chen Dehai, the commander of the 3rd regiment, shouted loudly.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
Mortars of the 3rd regiment, as well as mountain and field artillery, again began shelling. The shells kept falling into the ranks of the Japanese troops, and many of them flew up.
However, the Japanese were sparse and did not inflict many casualties on them.
"Da-da-da, da-da-da!" Soon, heavy machine guns from the positions began to strafe. Although the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun was not an advanced heavy machine gun, its maximum rate of fire was still able to reach 450 rounds per minute.
Even if that's just the theoretical rate of fire. But in actual combat, there is no problem in firing 200 rounds of ammunition in one minute. And, because of the use of 7.7 mm bullets, it is very powerful.
Each platoon of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had a heavy machine gun, and the heavy weapons platoon attached to the company also had a heavy machine gun, and the heavy weapons company at the battalion headquarters also had three heavy machine guns. In this way, a regiment has a full 45 heavy machine guns.
The 3rd Regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army deployed these 45 heavy machine guns on the front line. In the intervals of these heavy machine guns, a large number of light machine guns were also deployed, which constituted a dense fire.
Therefore, when the Japanese army attacked, it had to brave such terrifying machine-gun fire from the 3rd Regiment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to launch an attack. The consequences of this can be imagined.
"Da Da Da!" The effective firing range of the Type 92 heavy machine gun reached 800 meters. If an armor-piercing projectile is fired, it can penetrate a 12-millimeter-thick steel plate within 200 meters. Of course, the Type 92 heavy machine gun was very powerful, and the only flaw was that it used a 30-round bullet protection plate for ammunition. Of the accumulated bombs, thirty rounds were fired in a matter of seconds. This makes it impossible to achieve sustained firepower from the Type 92 heavy machine gun. This will affect the exertion of combat effectiveness.
If it is replaced by the Browning M1919A4 heavy machine gun equipped by the US military, or the Browning M1919A6 heavy machine gun that will be equipped with troops, it will be fed with 250 rounds of canvas cartridges. The continuity of firepower is undoubtedly better than the Type 92 heavy machine gun of the little devil. The effective range and rate of fire also surpassed the Type 92 heavy machine gun.
In addition, the U.S. military's Browning M2HB 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun is also a weapon coveted by Qin Shou. This heavy machine gun, which uses large-caliber machine gun bullets, is very powerful. If you hit the human body, you can easily break the human body, which is very ferocious. It is undoubtedly very suitable to deal with little devils.
Although, the remaining soldiers of the 46th Wing of the Japanese Army were very brave. However, they were greeted by a torrential rain of machine-gun bullets.
Such dense firepower directly caused the attacking Japanese troops, like cutting wheat, to fall to the ground one by one.
With heavy casualties, the rest of the Japanese soldiers had no choice but to lie on the ground and let the bullets fly overhead, not daring to attack again.
"Yaga! Damn the Shina people, will they only fight with great firepower? "Tochigi Kodaisa is very aggrieved.
But at this moment, apart from scolding a few words, he has no way to change the current situation.
It was at this time that a more critical situation struck.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, something is wrong. Behind us, a large number of Chinese troops appeared. They're building a line of defense, intent on cutting us off! A Japanese officer reported with a panicked look on his face.
"Nani? How so? Tochigi Kodaisa, his face suddenly turned pale.
The frontal attack could not break through the defense line of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, but suffered heavy losses. Now, even the back road has been cut off. Doesn't this mean that they have become turtles in an urn and have no way to escape? If this continues, I'm afraid that what awaits them will only be all the jade shatters.
