Chapter 543: Amazing casualty ratio!
"Little devil, die to Lao Tzu!"
Li Mancang's face was fierce, and he pressed the iron and continued to fire.
Under the influence of the regiment commander Li Yunlong, the soldiers of the new regiment have a temperament that the king of heaven does not accept Lao Tzu, and they all like to call themselves Lao Tzu.
As the muzzle arc swings, the dense rain of bullets pours down on which way the muzzle is pointed.
Soon, except for the devil soldiers who fell in a pool of blood, there were no more devils in formation.
The remaining devils had scattered in all directions, prostrate behind cover, and shot at the bunker.
But this was in vain, as the bunker's firing holes were specially designed to take on the shape of a bowl, making it difficult to hit the machine gunner inside from the outside, even if the marksmanship was accurate.
As for penetrating the walls of the bunker, it is even more impossible, even the devil's 120-mm howitzer can't penetrate it, let alone the Type 38 rifle?
Li Mancang began to shoot, and wherever there were devils shooting, he would shoot at them.
Suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky.
12 82-mm mortars in anti-slope positions began operations.
Dense shells covered the area where the devils were crawling.
Although the devil has cover to dodge side-fired machine gun attacks, there are no trenches and anti-artillery holes, so he can't dodge mortar shells.
The shells exploded in the area where the devils were crawling and hiding, and each shell carried a violent shock wave, and shrapnel flew sideways at high speed across the surrounding area of dozens of meters.
The dense artillery fire composed of 12 82-mm mortars made the devils of the A Division feel what is called artillery fire coverage.
And this is only 82-mm mortars, the new regiment of 75-mm mountain guns, 105 howitzers and 150-mm howitzers, which are always dormant.
If the howitzer fires, the scene will be even bloodier.
But... Even if the devil's skirmish line is very open and crawling behind the bunker, but in the face of the density and killing range of 12 82mm mortars, the devil can only be beaten.
What's more, the devils also have to face dense side-fire machine gun fire.
The 82-mm mortar shelled at the beginning, putting the already dangerous devils even more in danger.
The stabbing technique of the devil of the A division is not covered.
Although the stabbing skills of the soldiers of the main battalion are also strong points, if you really let these 400 devils wearing gas masks break into the position.
Even if the two sides exchange one for one, it will be a loss for the new group, and the loss-making business cannot be done.
Therefore, it is better to eliminate the devils on the way to the attack, and the combined fist of side-firing machine gun fire and 82-mm mortars will beat the devils to the north at once.
Through the field of vision of the artillery mirror, I watched the soldiers of the two squadrons wearing gas masks before they approached the Eighth Route position, and they were suppressed in the middle of the road, suffering heavy casualties.
The brigade commander Saburo Miura scolded angrily:
"Yaga!"
Although the devils had 70-mm infantry guns and 90-mm mortars, the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army were located on the anti-slope of the mountain.
The Japanese infantry artillery and mortars could not hit the artillery positions of the 8th Route at all.
The failure of this attack was inevitable, and the attacking devil infantry, under the attack of side-fire and anti-slope mortars, could not get close to the eight-way position at all.
And the gas bombs are not infinite, and when the gas is dispersed, the soldiers on the Eighth Route position will also join in the shooting of the Japanese soldiers.
"Yaga!"
"Retreat!"
The two sides were in a stalemate for more than ten minutes, and the casualties of the devils became larger and larger, and the leader of the devil squadron, who could not support it, finally gave the order to retreat.
The remaining devils got up from behind their bunkers and ran wildly towards the way they came.
However, this gave room for side-firing firepower.
"Want to run? No way! ”
Li Mancang looked at the fleeing devil in a hurry, sneered, and at the same time pressed the pressing iron of the heavy machine gun again with his hand.
The heavy machine gun in front of him gnawed and gnawed again.
Two devils ran out from behind the bunker to pull their wounded and wailing comrades.
Li Mancang deliberately didn't shoot the devil's wounded soldier, waiting for this moment.
The dazzling tongue of fire turned into a chain and whipped towards the two devils like whips, and the two devils were immediately beaten into a sieve.
Subsequently.
The muzzle of the heavy machine gun was depressed, and the bullets fired from it sank into the dirt, bouncing off a cloud of mud mist bullet marks.
The bullet marks extended from the body of the wounded soldier of the devil, and the wounded soldier of the devil completely stopped moving.
Then Li Mancang quickly turned the muzzle of the gun and locked on the fleeing devil soldiers, and there were three devils in the field of vision who were about to come up to save the injured comrades, but saw the fate of the first two devils.
The three devils turned their heads and slipped away, and Li Mancang immediately targeted these devils, and the mud mist bullet tracked up with one of the devils in an instant......
The same scene was played out at several other bunker firing points, three of which were M2 heavy machine guns.
4 Browning heavy machine guns and 3 M2 heavy machine guns showed dense firepower and amazing lethality.
In addition, 12 82-mm mortars of the new regiment of anti-slope positions, under the command of the hilltop observation post, began the barrage of Xu Jin.
It was almost a one-sided massacre.
The devil was defeated and returned without even touching the hair of the new group of soldiers.
……
In the brigade headquarters, Saburo Miura frowned and looked at the defeated soldiers, falling into deep thought.
To put it bluntly, offensive and defensive warfare is the process of seeing and dismantling moves.
But every attack of the locust army gave Miura Saburo the feeling of punching the cotton.
Before, if the Eighth Route Army and the Locust Army fought a positional battle, the devil commander would definitely be ecstatic.
The biggest headache for the devil commander was the guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare of the Eighth Route Army.
But at present, the Eighth Route Army is fighting a positional battle with the Locust Army, but this positional battle is not the same as Miura Saburo imagined.
The Eighth Route Army's positional warfare was better than that of the most elite Japanese troops, and the three attacks only wounded the new regiment.
This new regiment is indeed difficult to deal with, and it is no wonder that the base camp sent the elite 10th Division to attack the new regiment.
But then again, if the new regiment was really so easy to deal with, I'm afraid it would have been wiped out by other locust troops a long time ago, and it would be the turn of the 10th Division?
"Brigade commander, are you still attacking?"
The chief of staff on the side, Ono Binfu, saw that Saburo Miura didn't move, His Excellency the commander of the Dark Road Brigade wouldn't be confused, right?
"Huh?"
Saburo Miura came back to his senses from his contemplation, took a deep breath, and said in a cold tone: "Suspend the attack, and let Yamaguchi-kun count the casualties first." ”
As the order was given, it didn't take long for the commander of the 40th wing, Tatsuharu Yamaguchi, to walk in.
He reported to Miura Saburo: "Report to the brigade commander, more than 600 locust soldiers have broken jade, and more than 400 imperial army soldiers have been killed. ”
Yamaguchi Tatsuharu's face was faintly ugly, the three attacks were all troops of the 40th Wing, and a total of 3 infantry squadrons and 1 infantry squad were sent to attack.
Almost every attack resulted in casualties, and the Eighth Route Army's firepower was so heavy that it was difficult for the wounded soldiers to retreat.
If it weren't for the puppet army as cannon fodder in front, the casualties of the Japanese army would have been even greater.
Just now, Tatsuharu Yamaguchi was sneered at by Eisuke Suzuki's guy and almost got into trouble with Eisuke Suzuki.
Saburo Miura asked coldly, "How many casualties are there on the Eighth Road?" ”
Tatsuharu Yamaguchi said tentatively: "Dozens? ”
"Yaga!" Saburo Miura held back a slap from Tatsuharu Yamaguchi, and said angrily, "I'm asking you, and you're asking me in turn?" ”
"Hey!" Yamaguchi Tatsuharu's expression was dazed, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said in an affirmative tone, "There are dozens of casualties on the eight roads!" ”
"1 to 10 casualties?"
Taking a deep breath, Saburo Miura's tone was cold: "It has always been the 10th Division that has fought 1 to 10 with the Chinese army, and it has never played such a record!" ”
Tatsuharu Yamaguchi and Saburo Miura bowed their heads and remained silent, this battle loss ratio was too exaggerated.
You must know that this is the 10th Division, and it is a shame for the 10th Division to have more than 600 casualties before replacing dozens of people from the Eighth Road.
Saburo Miura looked at the sky and ordered sharply: "Prepare gas bombs and smoke bombs, this time the flamethrowers will attack together!" ”
"Also, look..."
Hiroo Ohno and Tatsuharu Yamaguchi looked in the direction the brigade commander was pointing.
"On the top of the hill opposite, there must be an observation post of the Eighth Route Army, and when the soldiers attack, the artillery in the rear will continue to shell the Eighth Route position."
"Until the soldiers enter the eight-way position."
"Yamaguchi-kun, the infantry artillery and mortars of your wing are responsible for suppressing the eight-way observation post on the top of the mountain."
Hiroo Ohno and Tatsuharu Yamaguchi looked stunned.
In order to prevent accidental injury, the previous way of fighting was to charge the infantry after the artillery bombardment, and this time the infantry was to rush while the artillery was to bombard.
What was previously just an appetizer is now the real meal.
"Hey!"
Tatsuharu Yamaguchi bowed his head and turned to leave.
……
"Report to the regiment commander, the casualties of the first battalion have been counted."
Zhang Dabiao answered the call on the walkie-talkie and reported to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong's eyes were calm and he asked, "How many casualties?" ”
Zhang Dabiao replied: "Thirty-one people were sacrificed and twenty-two people were wounded. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Dabiao looked at the corpses of the devils lying in the distance, and said, "The devils have at least killed and injured hundreds of people. ”
In the third wave of the devil's attack, there were almost no casualties in the first battalion, and only a few were wounded, which was also poisoned because the protection was not in place, but the problem was not big, the poisoned soldiers had been carried down, and among the medicines supported by Boss Chen, there were special medicines for the treatment of poisoning gas.
"Commander."
"The casualties of the first battalion are so large, why don't you replace the first battalion and our second battalion?"
Seeing that the first battalion had achieved such great results, Zheng Yu, the commander of the second battalion on the side, clenched his fists, and his tone was a little impatient.
"Lao Zheng, you are not authentic, we have more than 2,000 people in a battalion, and more than 50 casualties are also called casualties?"
Zhang Dabiao immediately retorted: "If you want me to say, your second battalion simply doesn't need to go up, watch our first battalion unscrew off the head of the old devil Miura Saburo opposite and give it to the regiment commander as a night pot." ”
Li Yunlong said: "Don't fight, this counter-sweep has just begun, everyone will have a chance in the future, now the first battalion continues to defend the position, when it is time for your second battalion to go up, it will naturally send you up!" ”
"Yes!"
The first battalion commander, Zhang Dabiao and Zheng Yu, straightened up, and they should be in unison.
As soon as the words fell, a sharp whistling sound sounded in the sky, and the shell fell 50 meters from the command headquarters and exploded.
"Type 92 infantry artillery, the devil wants to bombard the top of the mountain, get out of here!"
Li Yunlong only heard the sound of the explosion and knew what kind of cannon the devil was using.
After finishing speaking, he strode away with the guards and communicators, followed by Zhang Dabiao and Zheng Yu.
The first shell was just a test firing, and it didn't take long for the group of shells of the devils to fall towards the mountain, enveloping the top of the mountain in the smoke of artillery fire.
