Chapter 87 East Coast Offensive and Defensive First Battalion's Prestige
The major's eyes widened and he fell to the ground unwillingly.
The surrounding soldiers of Yu Division were shocked. Is the officer with the rank of general in front of him so ruthless, killing people at the slightest disagreement?
"Escape from battle and contradict the commander is an unforgivable crime!"
Liao Mingyu looked at the deserters in front of him with a fierce look and murderous eyes. All the soldiers he stared at felt their scalps numb and did not dare to look at them, let alone have the slightest idea of resistance.
Just now, any sign of resistance was suppressed by this vicious group leader.
"Ouch... Ouch, my surname is Liao... Why are you trying to make a nest? Do you know who the culprit is!?"
The round-faced officer who was pinned to the ground and tied up by the Sichuan Army soldiers was trying his best to struggle. He was punched by Liao Mingyu. Not only did he lose his teeth, his cheeks were also swollen, and he had a big tongue when he spoke.
"My name is Yu Shenqing! My name is Yu Xiaoqing! My last name is Liao Di. You're a pill, you're a dick!"
Dare you still be arrogant? Liao Mingyu kicked him in the face again, causing the grandson's nose to bleed. He still felt that it was not enough, so he continued to punch and kick Yu Shenqing to greet him.
"ah!"
"Ouch!"
"Don't hit...ah!"
"I'm done with it, I'm done with it, stop..."
Yu Shenqing was beaten up by Liao Mingyu. If it hadn't been for this bastard, would the little devil have been able to cross the Nu River so easily!?
"Damn, what the hell? Bah!"
After twisting his aching wrist, Liao Mingyu spat at Yu Shenqing, who was groaning on the ground, and then looked up at the group of deserters.
"Your officers are incompetent and cowardly lost Jiang Fang before fighting. Do you still want to continue to escape!?"
"Hmph, you guys have thrown Yu Xiaoqing's face into it, why should I give back the elite of Master Yu? That's bullshit! It's all up to me, how the Sichuan Army fought!"
After saying that, Liao Mingyu walked forward and ignored the group of people. Instead of asking them to help, it was better to do it himself.
"Ayi, go back now and ask Krupp to aim at the Japanese artillery on the other side of the river. Later, you can suppress the enemy's artillery fire for me!"
"Yes, group seat." Ayi saluted, and then ran back in a hurry.
Liao Mingyu held up his telescope and observed the movements of the entire battlefield. The little Japanese were quite arrogant. Seven or eight 75mm field guns and a dozen infantry guns of the Japanese army were set up on the hill behind the west bank.
The entire attack consisted of three infantry squadrons numbering 7 to 800 people. At this moment, a large number of Japanese troops were preparing rafts on the west bank. They only waited for the leading troops to occupy the position and then crossed the river together to capture the east bank and even Zenda.
!
The one on the opposite side should be the troops of the old Japanese Takeuchi. This old boy was cautious and did not force all the troops to cross the river at the first time. Otherwise, Liao Mingyu would be sure to severely damage them on the east bank.
However, looking at the posture on the opposite side, it must have been strengthened by the top brass of the Japanese army. Tachibana Kikuma had just eliminated two of his brigades, and now I am afraid they have all been replenished. The artillery alone is much more than the normal regiment.
"Regiment leader, the mortar has been aimed and ready to fire at any time!"
After Li Liansheng fiddled with the last mortar, he loudly reported to the regiment leader.
The Yu Division's 1st Regiment's position is located on a hillside 600 meters behind the shore. The entire position is very particular. It has a gentle slope of 30 degrees. If defenders are arranged on it, they can give the attacking enemy a head-on blow.
It's a pity that the original defenders have disappeared without a trace, and their commander is still lying on the ground, covering his swollen cheek and wiping tears miserably.
From the telescope, we could see that the Japs' offensive troops had landed on the east bank and were charging towards the Yu Division's position. At the same time, Yao Ma and Bu La, with their two companies, were desperately rushing towards the Yu Division's position.
Due to the angle of the hillside, the two waves of people could not see each other for the time being, but their goals were the same, which was the ready-made Yu division position on the gentle slope.
"Aim well, cover them and numb them. Pay attention to their position and don't accidentally hurt them. I have taught you how to use infantry and artillery coordination. Also, move immediately after three waves of artillery shells. Don't be bitten by the Japanese artillery on the other side!"
"Don't worry, captain. The whole company is attentive, fire quickly, let go!"
"call out……"
"call out…"
Li Liansheng issued the order, and three 120mm mortars and six 81mm mortars opened fire on the charging Japs at the same time!
The Japs were charging in full swing, and were about to leap into the enemy's position, but there was not a single figure on the other side to counterattack.
It seems that they were all scared away. The stupid Chinese people are all cowards without courage. The fact that such a large position was undefended made the little devils feel very proud.
But today, they are destined to be given a vivid battlefield practice lesson by the Chinese people. Never take it lightly until victory is achieved!
"Hey~~"
Uh-huh, no! Artillery fire? Didn’t the regiment commander already give the order to stop the artillery fire?
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom……"
The rapidly falling artillery shells did not explain to them. Eighty-nine mortar shells hit the charging team, directly blowing up the dense crowd.
"Spread out! Spread out! Dodge the cannonballs!"
A Japanese squadron leader yelled at the top of his lungs, and the little Japanese quickly used tactical maneuvers to avoid the artillery shells. But Li Liansheng didn't want to give them too many chances, and the artillery shells hit the Japanese formation one after another.
"boom!"
A few little Japs who were lying on the ground to avoid the shells were very unlucky to be hit by a shell. Several figures were thrown away by the shock wave. The exploded soil was mixed with a lot of flesh and blood.
This section is a gentle slope by the river. There are only sand and weeds, and there is not even a big tree for shelter. This shelling has caused heavy casualties. The squadron leader knows that he can only wait to die here, and the only way to survive is
Rush up the hillside to take position.
"Urgent! Warriors of the empire, charge!"
…
"Reduce the elevation angle by 2 degrees and fire three rapid rounds!" Li Liansheng held a telescope and paid close attention to the battlefield situation. Seeing that Kaname and the others were approaching the position, he decisively adjusted the shooting angle and let the artillery fire extend toward the river.
At the same time, Milong led the third company to a low-lying area on the side of the position, and without saying a word raised his gun and fired.
“Da da da da da…!”
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Intense bullets were fired at the Japs' formation, and their charging formation was seriously affected again. Countless Japanese were penetrated by the incoming bullets.
And Yao Ma, who was leading the way, got into position almost at the same time as Mi Long!
He had already led his men into the Yu division's position! The soldiers of the company quickly took up their positions, lying on the trenches and firing crazily at the little Japs!
"Give me a heavy machine gun and kill these idiots!"
…
"Okay, stop firing, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"
Seeing that the paralyzed company had entered the position, Li Liansheng immediately issued a ceasefire order and hurriedly called on the artillerymen to move their positions. The Japanese artillery counterattack was coming, and he only had a few mortars in his hand, which were not enough to fill the gap between his teeth.
.
"Hurry up! Remove the base and carry it away for me. Hey, who is that? Don't forget about the cannonballs and ink stains. One person can't do it to two people!"
The soldiers wished they had four legs, so they could carry a few mortars and evacuate backwards.
"Whoosh, whoosh...!" As soon as they withdrew from the position, there was a shrill sound of flying artillery shells in the sky, and the Japanese's 75mm field artillery arrived as promised.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Dense shells covered the mortar position they had just established. Li Liansheng looked frightened. Fortunately, he ran fast. If he had been slower, he would have been trapped there.
…
Kaname on the position shouted excitedly, raised the M3 submachine gun in his hand, and fired at the running yellow figures in front!
"嘘嘚嘚嘚嘚...!"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang...ding!"
The gunshots of the M3 submachine gun and the M1 semi-automatic rifle played like a symphony, but this was a funeral song for the little devil. The "ding" sound of Garand's unique magazine automatically ejecting the magazine resounded throughout the room.
On this battlefield.
"Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump...!"
A company of three M2 heavy machine guns has also been deployed. The roaring sound of the gunfire was like a heavy hammer hitting the ears, and the 12.7mm bullets swept past the little devil.
A bullet of this caliber can no longer be regarded as a bloody hole in a person's body. Countless little devils were directly blasted into several pieces, with severed hands and feet scattered everywhere. The head hit by the bullet was like a
A watermelon that was smashed by a hammer exploded in all directions!
The Japanese soldiers were beaten and screamed repeatedly, and the officers were still trying their best to direct the soldiers to fight back. However, in the face of intensive firepower, the Japanese who raised their guns to fight back soon turned into corpses covered with bullet holes.
Each squad had 8 Garands, three submachine guns, and one Czech. This terrifying firepower made the little Japs by the river unable to even lift their heads. The third company of Mi Long and Long Wen Zhang were still on the side.
They were bleeding the little devil. Several intertwined fire snakes blocked their way back to the river.
As the second company entered the position, the firepower of the Sichuan Army increased again, and the Japanese army had no chance!
Facing such firepower, the little devils' counterattack seemed so weak. All they could do was lie on the ground and frantically shoot out the bullets in their guns, and then they would be killed by the enemy's bullets.
As a battery of four 60mm mortars opened fire, the little Japanese's last bit of persistence collapsed. The remaining 200 people ran frantically towards the river.
…
On the other side of the river, there is a Japanese artillery position.
A Japanese lieutenant colonel stood on the artillery position and was looking at the situation on the other side with a telescope.
Just now, the opponent actually launched an artillery bombardment, which made him very surprised and angry. He immediately ordered his own artillery to calculate their position. More than a dozen artillery pieces of various types opened fire at once, covering the enemy's artillery position at once. It was estimated that that
The Chinese people must have been wiped out.
But so many Chinese people suddenly appeared in the originally empty riverside position. They were well-trained and had too much firepower. Even the most powerful warriors of the empire were unable to do anything.
"Aim all artillery at the east bank positions and fire to cover their retreat!"
Lieutenant Colonel gritted his teeth. This raid had become meaningless. The losses of the troops in front were too great. Without knowing the details of the enemy, he did not dare to send follow-up troops to attack.
All he could do now was to use artillery to kill the enemies on the opposite shore and cover the retreat of the remaining Japanese soldiers.
"Boom...! Boom!...Boom..."
Just when he was still thinking about why the enemy suddenly became so powerful, a sharp sound suddenly came from the sky!
"Lie down, Lieutenant Colonel!" The adjutant next to him threw him down.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Chapter completed!
