Chapter 51: Strikes Thunder
A mortar disrupted the position of the beachhead devils, and Lei Hanchi took the opportunity to order not to fire all the firepower, and the long guns and short guns fired desperately at the devils who grabbed the beach, and this wave of firepower directly drove the Japanese vanguard landing force back.
The docked transport ship retreated to the river with the rest of the devils, and there was naturally a burst of cheers on the side of Lei Hanchi. Their joy did not last long, though, and the Japanese counterattack was not long in coming. The destroyer began to prepare for landing fire, and the shells of the 127-mm naval guns smashed into the beachhead with a whistling, and not long after the shelling began, the planes in the sky also joined the attack sequence, and the bombs were useless, and the losses caused by the machine gun fire alone made Lei Hanchi want to vomit blood.
"Withdraw! Retreat! "You can't stay here any longer, if you continue to fight, everyone will blow up the devils.
The first thing was the machine guns, the heavy machine guns were dismantled and transported, then the weapons that were not damaged, and then the wounded, a group of people took advantage of the Japanese attack and retreated to Chuansha Town in disarray. As soon as the number of people was counted, half of the combat strength of a company was lost in the firepower strike just now, and the zero battle losses of the Chinese side were broken.
"Tell the brothers to avoid the guns, and be careful of the devil's plane." There was a roar when he grabbed the herald, and before he could finish speaking, the devil's shell blew up a house at the entrance of the town.
"Hide!"
"Get the ammo out of here!"
"Hygienist! Hygienist! ”
"My hand !!"
The shelling caused chaos, and it was finally hidden, and blood was spilled on the ground, and the losses on both sides were basically equal, and the losses suffered by the Japanese on the beachhead were recovered. After a short shelling of forty minutes, the town of Chuansha was already in full shape, the smoke from the fire hindered aerial reconnaissance, and the plane in the sky flew away after two turns.
On the river, the withdrawn second lieutenant was severely stabbed by his superiors with two big ears, and his nose bleeded and his face was swollen. After the military order was issued, the second lieutenant who led the charge was the first to rush down from the ship again with a saber: "Burst! (This is the Japanese pronunciation of "assault": totsugeki, as for the empty ear Chinese transliteration, there are too many "assault" and the like).
Brave is indeed brave, but it is useless, and the beachhead has long been empty. This time the Japanese learned their lesson, and the beachhead troops quickly consolidated their positions and at the same time cast a warning net. Since there was almost no landing blocking, the landing of the 11th Division was still very smooth, except for the initial losses, and the landing was successful with the loss of 100 people, how can this be regarded as a combat failure? Right!
After the first brigade of the 43rd Wing was assembled, it set off with the 92nd infantry gun without even bringing field artillery, and more than 1,000 devils rushed straight to Chuansha Town. They needed to quickly occupy the town of Chuansha, then go south to Luodian to open the passage, and finally achieve the operational goal of encircling the army of the Shanghai government.
The second lieutenant who successfully landed on the second occasion still took the lead this time, and a slight failure was nothing to the Japanese soldiers, and the unhindered second beaching made him a little more courageous. Running all the way with people, he has the posture of taking down Chuansha Town in one go.
It's just that this person's good use is over, on the way to Chuansha Town, the big foot stepped down, there was a slight clicking sound under the foot, as if something had started, and before he came back to his senses, a bloody flower burst out on the instep, and the entire soles of the feet were beaten with the boots and the flesh was blurred.
"Second Lieutenant Odakiri!" Seeing the commander fall to the ground and screaming, he immediately fell to the ground and heard the gunshots.
Two brave soldiers stepped forward to drag Oda Chori back, the health soldier lowered his body and ran over to check the wound, the ball of his right foot was pierced by a bullet, and the health soldier who checked the injury directly gave a judgment in his heart, the instep bone was shattered, with the current medical conditions, even if the injury is healed, the sole of the foot is crippled, and the second lieutenant can retire from active duty.
Of course, on the surface, the health soldiers will not tell the truth, cut the boots, simply bandage the second lieutenant's right foot to stop bleeding, and send it to the military doctor in the back for a headache.
Shot in the sole of the foot? Could it be a landmine? But shouldn't it have exploded if a mine was stepped on? How can there be a sound of bullets firing? The Ito spy Cao Chang (warrant officer) who took over the post and several Cao Chang under his command looked at each other, and they didn't even know what kind of weapon they were attacking, so it couldn't be a person lying underground!
The answer was soon revealed, and a 10-centimeter cylindrical object was dug out from the location where the second lieutenant was shot, with a dark green hard plastic shell with a hollow internal structure, and a bullet case could be seen stuck inside. It looked like it was this strange mine that had pierced the second lieutenant's foot.
The reason is found, but no one understands why the Chinese would use such mines, which are not powerful enough to kill people!
Yes, this is a new weapon sponsored by Wenhui in friendship, and this is the case in the country. This time, I brought a lot of them to the battlefield, and I also gave some to the friendly troops as a defensive tool. This thing is called bullet mine, it is estimated that many people have not heard of it, this thing is not a weapon invented in the anti-Japanese thunder drama, but a practical lethal weapon widely used in World War II, the Vietnam War and other battlefields, it also has a separate name called "bullet footfighter".
It is buried in fields or on roads, and is mainly used to kill enemy personnel or break vehicle tires. The warhead of the entire mine is a bullet rather than an explosive, outwardly resembling a large iron nail, hollow on the inside, equipped with a firing pin, firing pin spring and a simple safety mechanism. When the enemy steps on the bullet mine, the safety mechanism releases the firing pin to strike the primer of the bullet, knocking through the enemy's footplate. Because the attack distance is extremely close, the bullet mine does not have high requirements for bullets, and steel warheads or even wooden warheads can be used. Of course, ordinary pistol cartridges and rifle cartridges can also be used as minelaying materials, and the outer mine shells can also be recycled and reloaded.
This group of people was still wondering that the bullet mines were not very powerful, and the team next door to them was not so lucky. Everyone was shocked when something popped out of the dirt, and something jumped out of it on its own! Then the steel ball shot out in all directions at a deadly speed, and suddenly a group of people lay down around them, and the sound of calling for health soldiers came and went. Except for one guy who died on the spot, none of the rest were killed, and all the wounded were completely incapacitated, even reproductive.
You deserve the German S-type anti-personnel mine, numbered SMi-35/SMi-44, with only minor differences between the two types. The main charge is surrounded by approximately 360 steel balls, short iron rods, or pieces of broken metal, which catapult to waist-high levels and explode when stepped on, shooting the metal swarm horizontally at lethal speeds. Hit, that is, the limbs are crippled, and the luck is almost impossible to keep Tintin, and the noisy Citi soldiers "affectionately" call this kind of thing that bombs the man's fatal place "ricochet betty".
Now the devils are enjoying the treatment of the American army in the European theater, this thing is a soldier's nightmare!
Before the battle began, the losses exceeded three digits, and although the complete deaths were still controlled in the double digits, these injuries were also demoralizing! Although there are no deaths, it is impossible for half of them (the majority of those who have stepped on mines) to return to the battlefield, and the new cripples will bring a lot of burden to the country! It's better to die completely!
The current weapons are still pursuing how to kill the enemy, but Wen Hui has begun to use the modern war idea to fight. Killing and dying an enemy does not have much effect on them, burning the dead, sending back the ashes, death notices and pensions, and the government re-recruits soldiers; But if you leave them a cripple, it will not be so simple, the wounded on the battlefield consume more resources than the dead, you have to send someone to evacuate, the combat effectiveness of the front will be reduced, the wounded will also consume medicines, occupy medical resources and cause a greater burden on logistics, and at the same time, in the process of treatment, the tragic condition of the wounded will cause a blow to morale; After being cured, the cripples could no longer participate in the war, and most of the people could not move into the production industry, and the government had to pay relief funds to support these people who "fought for the country", which was another expense. If it's a minority, that's acceptable, but war is never a problem for a few, and the fact that there are more wounded than dead in war is a severe test for the government's finances!
Therefore, the effect of these mines with a low lethality rate provided by Wenhui is much better than that of large-charge mines, but the effect is in an invisible place. Wen Hui naturally won't preach these advanced war theories everywhere, and he knows that he can use them quietly.
Although he complained that Wen Hui was "not real", and the mines sent over were all small guys, Lei Hanchi still scattered these free sponsorships, and he couldn't pay attention to the effect or anything now, because the vanguard of the devils had already appeared on the outskirts of the town.
The Japanese stopped on the periphery of the minefield, and the destroyers behind would clear a safe path for them to attack. I hate this kind of poor guy the most, either you're all covered with mines, and all of them will be cleared in one blast here, or you don't get it! This east one, the west one, sparsely pulled, when careful minesweeping, Mao didn't find one, thinking that it was safe to step on the way forward.
It's been two and a half hours since I landed! They are still dangling on the beachhead, how can such efficiency be endured! Matsui Ishone, who was holding back his breath, looked at the increasing reports of casualties, and finally ordered the attack to be suspended, and a safe passage was shot out with destroyer guns, and the town of Chuansha was covered again.
So Lei Hanchi's department inexplicably ate another round of shelling, and while greeting the female relatives of the devil in his mouth, it did not prevent them from holding up their guns, and a group of guys in khaki military uniforms and two "fart curtains" under the steel helmet had already appeared in the field of vision!
