Chapter 210: Enough Pressure
Everything that is not normal on the battlefield is definitely a sign of crisis.
The Japanese may not be able to understand why the flares are illuminated for a shorter time than expected. It's actually very simple, pour out some of the charge inside.
But by this time, the people who had done all this with their own hands were approaching their gun positions.
They are like ghosts in the dark night, running at an inhuman speed on the plains in the dark night.
As the sound of gunfire filled the field, these ghostly creatures with skeletal appearances that could scare people to death suddenly appeared in the dark of night, and left suddenly before the artillerymen could understand.
Six seconds later, a cannon exploded under an inexplicable attack.
Almost the only unit that was ready to shoot at the armored forces was paralyzed.
If it's daytime, this paralysis is child's play. After all, which unit does not have a reserve gunner, what is the use of such a paralysis means.
But in this dark night, what will happen if the only artillery that can threaten the opponent's armored forces is paralyzed.
As a result, enemy tanks and machine guns opened fire again, and an endless rain of bullets fell on the Japanese troops again.
Not those who fled, of course, but the troops who were not yet in a panic in front of them.
In fact, when the other side disrupts the other party's order and plunges the other party into chaos, no matter how powerful the army is, it will not have any combat effectiveness.
This requires enough pressure......
The pontoon position, preserved a day's strength of more than two thousand infantry, according to Hansen. Raul's order quickly crossed the river after sunset when the enemy's artillery fire weakened.
After fighting for half a day, even the defeated soldiers saw clearly that the Japanese had nothing difficult to deal with, and they couldn't even deal with hundreds of box guns.
In fact, the fundamental reason is that Zhang Sixing's combat methods completely disrupted the Japanese combat methods.
The infantry shock means of the Japanese, which was born out of World War I, were nothing more than artillery fire suppression, infantry approaching, then machine gun fire and grenadier fire suppression, and then infantry charging to solve the battle with bayonets.
Suppressed by artillery fire, it was solved by a single single-pit front.
After all, if you have to plow a large area completely with artillery fire, you need more than 105 heavy artillery. Those seventy-millimeter guns equipped with the Japanese infantry were not enough.
The infantry approached no problem, but the charge was halted by the "Crazy Head Bomb" and the Steel Helmet Mine. Especially the latter, which was supposed to deal with a large infantry charge.
What is even more odious is that in the face of a large number of semi-automatic box guns, it is impossible to suppress them within 200 meters with 38 large cover rifles and crooked machine guns that rush to the front.
Finally, the silent sniper deprived the heavy machine gun and grenadier of the suppression.
To deal with the positions that use semi-automatic weapons, in addition to heavy artillery is armored forces, unfortunately the Japanese do not have any.
Hansen. Raul personally carried a rifle, stood at the head of the pontoon bridge, and urged the infantry in stiff German Chinese,
"Zhang Guan has started a battle behind the devils with armored troops, and we all have to let the devils taste our bayonets."
Not only was he talking, but many of the officers standing on the pontoon were also talking.
Without him, these soldiers in front of them were still defeated in the morning, although they had a little confidence after watching for most of the day, and they were also full of food, but after all, they were defeated from the Songhu battlefield.
Now their task is not to attack, but to ...... Creating chaos......
The moon had risen, much to the relief of the Japanese officers, who felt that perhaps this was the time for them to organize a counterattack.
They admit that the troops behind are creating chaos with heavy fire and artillery, and they are fighting in a very orderly manner. It also caused a certain amount of confusion in its own troops, but the Japanese were more numerous than the other side, and the Japanese soldiers were more elite than the Chinese soldiers.
This is certain, especially when the two armies arrived at the pontoon position in the future......
Just when the Japanese were moving the infantry facing the pontoon position and intending to carry out an intensive counterattack on the armored forces coming from behind, suddenly the charge signal came from the pontoon position.
"Kill...... Kill devils......"
Under the passionate charge and passionate shouts...... As far as the moon could see, there was not a single figure there. This made the really nervous Japanese immediately relieved their hearts, and reaffirmed in their hearts that there were not many people at the pontoon position.
If they had been numerous, they should have launched a counterattack with the attack of armored forces a long time ago, and the Japanese army would not have collapsed.
"Hurry, hurry, go to the back and prepare for the counter-charge of the armored forces, even if you die in battle, you have to blow up the tank."
Dongfang, which has never conducted regular tank battles, who knows that a few tanks plus a few armored vehicles can produce such a strong attack power.
Just as the Japanese infantry were moving, leaving enough machine gunners and grenadiers to guard the front line, suddenly the impassioned sound of the charge was heard from the rear.
Not only that, but the voice shouting "rush" seems to be a little more majestic.
But this time, the Japanese officers, who still didn't see a figure, didn't care anymore, and they all understood that it was just bluffing.
"Useless people, don't you know that your throat hurts."
Truly this time no one was willing to pay attention to those who could only babble, and the attention of all the Japanese officers shifted to the approaching armored units in the back.
Unfortunately, the troops did not seem to be advancing, after all, they were only two kilometers away from the pontoon position.
At this time, their attack seemed to be more intense, because in addition to artillery and machine guns, there was more infantry firepower.
As soon as I heard the sound of firing from the 38 big covers, not only a dozen gasoline barrels and cannons also began to pour fire into the dense pile of Japanese soldiers.
A five-kilogram bag of explosives is much more enjoyable than the small 57 mm tube on a tank, which can blow down a large number of people with a single shot.
It is a pity that the maximum range of these "mad one-headed shells" is only 300 meters, so it seems that the Japanese have a chance to start organizing the front.
However, at this time, in the direction of the pontoon position behind him, flares suddenly lit up.
On the machine-gun position used by the Japanese to block, the machine gunner and grenadier man became nervous, which was a little different from the harassment again.
"Woohoo"
The hateful had bullied them all day, and silent rifle bullets flew in, knocking down several machine gunners and grenadiers.
"Muzzle flame, I see muzzle flame ......"
Someone shouted loudly and was preparing to pour fire on those mysterious and silent snipers.
However, in the direction of the other side of the pontoon, there was a sudden dull firing sound.
The infamous guy had moved forward at some point, and the cannonballs were falling unstoppably from the sky.
If you want to crush the enemy army, you need to maintain enough pressure to cause them to collapse in panic.
When those explosive packets exploded, shaking the minds of the soldiers who were still alive nearby, a passionate sound of military trumpets suddenly sounded from the direction of the pontoon position.
And this time it was not only the sound of the infantry shouting to kill, but more importantly, in the afterglow of the flares, a platoon of cavalry appeared on the road.
The pressure was strong enough that the Japanese collapsed.
