Section 123 Killing an enemy is like slaughtering a dog

The officers and men of the Independent Regiment are no strangers to the Japanese army's second aerial bombardment in the morning and evening. has fought so many battles with devils, and they can all memorize this routine of devils. However, the attack was quite unexpected. Who would have thought that when the devil was encircled by himself, he didn't want to break through to the north, but attacked to the south, what did the devil think? Even they were thinking that if the devil did this, should they simply loosen the defense line in the south and let them advance deeper, so that the connection with the Japanese army in Gao'an would be further extended, and this Japanese army would become more and more isolated.

I think so, but the actual situation is that it can't be changed, and who dares to retreat without getting the order from the top? For other troops, perhaps defeat and retreat are already commonplace, and few people have been punished for unfavorable reasons in the aftermath, but they are different, and they have not had such a precedent in the past few years. It just happened that the order from the peak was to let them attack the Japanese defense line, and now it was good, the devils took the initiative to send it to the door, and they didn't need to attack anymore.

This time, the Japanese army obviously knew that they were in a desperate situation, and if they didn't exert any more force, they would be finished, and the bombing of the planes continued round after round. Dozens of planes frantically rained shells on the positions of the Independent Regiment, almost flattening the hill, which was not too big.

Akira Ishikawa, the commander of the 216th Wing of the Japanese Army, personally went to the front line to direct the attack. These days, as the most combat-effective wing of the division, they have always borne the burden of pioneering, especially when the position of the wing was broken through by the enemy last night, Ishikawa Akira is even more ashamed and brave, ready to wash away his shame with a victory. For this reason, just after the air raid was over, he personally rushed to the foot of the mountain and ordered the first brigade to launch a strong attack.

In the past few days, they have continuously conquered countless defensive lines of the 57th Division, occupied one stronghold after another, and they have accumulated a lot of experience in attacking the enemy's positions in a very short period of time. Although the enemy's combat effectiveness is very strong, and after breaking through the position, they often dare to fight hand-to-hand combat, but there are still some loopholes to grasp in the face of the enemy, and sometimes they can even win the opportunity to storm the defense line by luring the opponent to shoot.

However, when the attack began, the Japanese captain, who was personally at the front, was given a blow to the head.

The Japanese attacked according to the current terrain, and the first wave of two squads was thrown into a long line of skirmishers, and after the enemy was bombed by the air force, the captain of this group intended to use a wave of attacks to take the position in front of him, without giving the enemy any chance to resist. However, when the assault soldiers attacked halfway up the mountain, they were met with accurate fire from the soldiers on the mountain, and after only a few rounds of shooting, the Japanese had to stop their advance and no longer dared to break up. Although the number of enemy troops on the top of the hill was not very large, their marksmanship was amazing, and almost every time a gunshot rang out, a soldier fell beside them, which brought great psychological pressure to the charging soldiers, and they had to stick their bodies as close to the mountain as possible, so that the speed of the attack was greatly stopped.

The Japanese captain at the foot of the mountain was also surprised by such a situation! It is normal for a unit to have some "marksmen" with accurate marksmanship, these "marksmen" are generally experienced veterans, through the experience of countless bloody battles, become strong and decisive, and then after countless bullets of shooting, the marksmanship is extremely accurate, which can be called the "killing god" on the battlefield. This captain has not seen a "marksman", it is really the most terrible enemy on the battlefield, as long as he has a rifle in his hand, it is equivalent to the death sentence of the enemy.

However, "sharpshooters" are inevitably rare, veterans of a hundred battles are scarce, and this is especially true of infantry, these soldiers who are always on the front line are the highest proportion of casualties in every unit, not to mention those who have practiced amazing marksmanship in bloody battles. In a squadron, if there are several such people, it is already unmatched. It is unbelievable that most of the enemy troops on the mountain have such a strong strength, and the terrible fact that the bursts are not dense but someone falls almost every time the gun is fired also makes his scalp tingle, and he doesn't know what kind of team the enemy army in front of him is.

If it was a normal time, he would definitely stop attacking and find another way, but at this time, he couldn't stop, the entire division had been surrounded, and there were enemy troops everywhere around him. With the swing of his sword, the rest of the squadron's forces were all thrown into the attack, and the enemy's marksmanship was accurate, and they could only make a breakthrough through numerical superiority.

On the mountain, Cheng Chong, the commander of the third company, couldn't help but let out a cold snort when he looked at the movement of the Japanese army under the mountain, the situation of the third company was actually not good at this moment. The previous aerial bombardment by the devils was too fierce, but on the top of the mountain, which was only two or three hundred meters square, it had withstood hundreds of shells from dozens of planes, and the intensity of its explosion could be imagined. Not only were most of the positions destroyed, but more than 20 veterans were killed by the shells, and more than 40 soldiers were injured by the fragments or shock waves of the shells. Coupled with the more than 30 soldiers killed and wounded last night, there are not even two platoons of troops capable of fighting. Under normal circumstances, with such a large proportion of casualties, the troops should be withdrawn to rest and recuperate, but Cheng Zhong did not think so, and the brothers of the third company have always believed in a truth, that is, blood debt and blood repayment.

"Da ......" on the mountainside was shot by them several times, shooting most of the Japanese soldiers saw the reinforcements behind them continue to come, but also a great spirit, they quickly came back to their senses, seeing that the enemy's marksmanship is really accurate, such a blind impact has no effect at all, but also can't help but set up machine guns in a few slightly gentle places, with dense fire to suppress the mountain.

Cheng Chongyan couldn't help sneering when he saw such a situation: "Look for death!" Then he yelled to the side, "Put the devil up." ”

Cheng Chong's voice could not be heard far in this chaotic battlefield, but the soldiers of the third company retreated back into the trench on the mountain as if they had a heart for him, leaving only a few soldiers in excellent positions to observe the situation at the bottom of the mountain.

"Company commander, the devil is here, almost a hundred people." A veteran observed the situation down the hill and reported: "We are still fifty paces away. ”

"Company commander, do you want to use a machine gun?" The veteran on the side couldn't help but light up in his eyes at this time, and said excitedly.

"Steady, don't be in a hurry, put it on a distance of thirty steps and then fight, fighting a devil is like beating a dog, a stick hurts, only to remember for a long time, only to know that you are afraid. When the time comes, let the devils know that not only they have machine guns, but we also have them, and there are many more than them, and in the future, when they encounter our independent regiment, get out of the way, don't get in the way in front of them. Cheng Zhong shouted with a murderous face.

There was a burst of laughter from the top of the position, and even more veterans coaxed: "Company commander, shouldn't you beat a dog to death with a stick and eat dog meat?" There's a bird for the pain! ”

Although the hillside is a little steep, but the friendly troops behind them and the dense machine gun sound on the side give them confidence, in this case, many people pulled out their waists and threw them to the top of the mountain, and at the same time increased the suppression, they quickly rushed to the top of the mountain.

"Fighting" saw that the Japanese army* could already attack the position of the other side, and there was no need to look at it with his eyes, he knew that the enemy had advanced to within a distance of 30 paces, and Cheng Zhong did not hesitate to immediately order to open fire. With his order, the whole mountain immediately became lively. The machine gunners and infantrymen, who had long been impatient, immediately launched a frantic attack on the Japanese troops who were about to rush into the position.

The standard establishment of an infantry company is 9 light machine guns, and it is not easy for an ordinary unit to have half of them. However, this ordinary army definitely does not include the companies of the independent regiment, because at this moment, in addition to the nine light machine guns equipped with the three companies, there is also a water-cooled heavy machine gun. Especially the heavy machine gun, after it was opened, the huge lethality generated by the Japanese army instantly scattered the corpses all over the field.

The Japanese captain listened to the dull roar of the heavy machine guns on the mountain, and immediately flew out of the sky in fright, especially when he saw that the troops on his side were about to break through the enemy's position, and his face was even more colorless for a moment. At such close range, even a lump of steel like a tank could not withstand a dense burst of bullets, let alone a man of flesh and blood.

Sure enough, when he saw the soldiers on the top of the mountain who were about to launch the final blow fall in pieces, his heart also completely sank to the bottom. There is no doubt that the previous ceasefire of the enemy army was definitely not due to the suppression of the machine guns on the mountainside, but was entirely a trap laid by the enemy in order to lure them up the mountain. Ironically, the attack during this period of time made them underestimate the enemy troops in front of them, and they actually stepped into it without any suspicion, until they reacted, it was too late, and they had no chance to adjust.

"Devil, the enemy army in front of you is a bunch of devils!" The Japanese captain screamed in horror, and his whole body began to tremble.
