Chapter 178 is completely different!

The value of mortars as supplementary firepower lies in the distance between 500 meters and 1,500 meters. Gunfire is a technical activity. When the distance between the enemy and ourselves is within this distance, artillery can easily cause accidental damage. Forced

The emergence of artillery and its application in actual combat have developed rapidly. The root cause is that it is light and can use its curved trajectory to hit opponents in trenches.

The commander of the Yamada brigade saw the Chinese army shelling at such a close range. The first time he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was a risky behavior. The second time he was shocked because it was a normalized suppressive artillery that Japan had not mastered.

It is not a secret that the Chinese ** Corps is equipped with a large number of light artillery, but before that, Yamada thought that this was caused by China's too backwardness. He did not think about tactics. Now it seems that this light artillery is very powerful.

It is far from what I thought before, it is a helpless choice.

Since the Russo-Japanese War in the late Qing Dynasty, it has been a very common phenomenon for Chinese troops to learn from Japan. However, there is a common belief among the Japanese army that the Chinese army lacks the courage to fight to the death. No matter how good the equipment and tactics are in their hands,

None of them were able to produce results. The most popular intensive group charge in this era was performed to the extreme in the hands of the Japanese. The representative work is Nogi Nogi Nogi's attack on the 203 Highlands in Lushun. There is a saying that the final victory of the 203 Highlands

, written by Gentaro Kodama, not the God of War boasted by the Japanese. Japanese writer Ryotaro Shiba once said that Nogi Nogi is a "foolish general".

All in all, the Russo-Japanese War still brought many painful lessons to Japan, especially in the coordinated use of infantry and artillery. The Japanese army made many attempts and improvements. As far as offensive tactics are concerned, it is still the mainstream group charge. Students of the Japanese

, one of the Gui Army, during the battle of Songhu, the whole regiment and the whole battalion charged, and they were extremely brave. However, they suffered heavy losses under the attack of Japanese naval guns and did not achieve much practical results.

Despite the artillery fire, the Japanese army remained in a stable formation. They prepared and preset various elements in advance. The effect of the artillery bombardment was naturally very good. But even so, the advancing Japanese army had no intention of fear or retreat, but only accelerated its speed and rushed forward.

Li Zongren was amazed by the bravery of the Japanese army. At the same time, he could not help but secretly mock the Japanese army for not knowing how to adapt. As everyone knows, this is a reflection of the Japanese army's tactical training to an instinctive state. The more fierce the mortar attack, the fiercer the Japanese army charges. As the distance increases,

As we approach, the mortars stop firing.

Yamada Brigade Commander believes that the most painful time is about to end, and then it is time for the Japanese army to perform. The Japanese army is now about 200 meters away from the front-line position. Within thirty seconds at most, the Japanese army can rush to the position and use bayonets to drive them away like ducks.

These cowardly Chinese troops only dared to hide behind the trenches.

However, something more painful happened. Just when the Yamashita brigade commander was dreaming of waiting to take a photo on the land to commemorate, gunfire suddenly broke out on the position, and bullets rained down. Yes, it was like rain.

.If two companies of light and heavy machine guns fire together plus a rifle salvo, what is the difference between it and rain?

Yamada's eyes suddenly rounded. He was originally holding the sword in one hand and the telescope in the other. Now he threw away the sword and held the telescope in both hands to find a more suitable position for himself to observe the situation on the battlefield.

Dozens of fire dragons suddenly shot out from the Chinese army's position, and the brave Kyushu soldiers fell one by one like mowing grass. In the short distance of 200 meters, they could not take a step further. Such ferocious infantry firepower, Yamada

It is simply unimaginable, but at this juncture, there is nothing that can be done. I can only watch the soldiers dying, and watch my men being tightly suppressed by intensive firepower about 150 meters away from the position.

The Japanese army's Keisi machine guns were firing desperately from behind, but they were quickly hit by artillery shells one after another, killing everyone.

Yamada, who woke up from the shock, almost said at the fastest speed: "Order to retreat!" After a green signal flare was raised from the starting point of the Japanese army, the Japanese army, who was pressed in front of the formation and could not raise their heads, began to move at an extremely fast speed.

Retreat. The Japanese army's retreat was not as organized as shown in the movie. Even after suffering heavy casualties, they could still retreat in an orderly manner while fighting, instead of running around like they were scattered.

Li Zongren smiled proudly. When the Japanese troops rushed to about 200 meters, he was still very nervous. As the machine guns started shooting, blood spattered in front of the formation, and when the Japanese troops were completely suppressed, Li Zongren breathed a sigh of relief.

.What I learned in mainland China is indeed very useful. Unfortunately, this battle is to lure the enemy deeper, otherwise a few barbed wire fences would have been perfect.

More than a hundred corpses were left behind, and the Japanese army did not launch any new attacks until dusk. Li Zongren could not wait for another Japanese attack. Instead, some Japanese soldiers came with white flags, and one of them was holding a crappy

Chinese, request to collect the body!

Li Zongren agreed to the Japanese army's request and told the frontier to be careful about Japanese sneak attacks.

At this time, the Japanese army really had no intention of launching another attack. Kamio Mitsuomi's order had arrived, and Yamada did not dare to disobey it. Besides, the second attack just now really hurt him. He suffered nearly 300 casualties, half of whom were directly involved in combat.

Many corpses had more than a dozen bullet holes. After two hours of busy work, the Japanese army finally finished collecting the corpses before dark.

At this time, Yamada learned the sad news that the landing site was bombed by planes, a large amount of combat materials were destroyed, and Major General Watanabe was killed in battle. He couldn't help but secretly find reasons for the unfavorable outcome of today's battle. After much calculation, he decided to give

Kamio Mitsuomi published a briefing report on the China Army he encountered and the unfavorable news of the attack after launching an attack. In the report, he said: The China Army's intensive machine gun firepower and the accuracy of suppressing artillery were astonishing. However, the artillery was unable to detect the enemy.

After careful inspection of the artillery position, we found that this is a small mortar with a curved trajectory and is hidden in the ravine. Our artillery fire cannot effectively hit it.

This summary can be said to be stained with blood! Two entire brigades launched a desperate assault on the Chinese Army's position, but they could not get within a hundred meters of the position. This was a huge shame in the eyes of the Japanese army. Yamada also thought it was a shame.

, even though it is a shame, we cannot hide it. This battle is still going on. In order to avoid greater losses, we must report truthfully.

Kamio Mitsuomi quickly called back and ordered Yamada to return to Longkou and the troops to withdraw to Huang County. It was already clear that this battle would not be easy to win. The Chinese team was definitely not as cowardly as they thought in advance. They even had fierce firepower!

The annoying Liege finally set, and the soldiers on the battlefield were able to relax a little. Fighting under the scorching sun was really not a pleasant thing. Sun Chuanfang's clothes had been soaked with sweat countless times, and now he felt like a military uniform

Wearing it was like wearing armor. But Sun Chuanfang still looked the same. He still fastened the style button tightly. He didn't know how much prickly heat he had on his body. When it was hot, his little Japanese nose wouldn't stop.

Without taking a breath and filling his stomach with a cold drink, Sun Chuanfang left the headquarters and inspected the position. Everyone could rest, but he and Chief of Staff Tong Nianhua did not dare to rest. The two of them had to act together to reach the front line.

Take a look at the position. The National Defense Forces are not Beiyang. What we are talking about is that soldiers will not rest unless they sleep and eat.

The cooking team carried baskets of pancakes to the battlefield. The wooden barrels contained broth and a salted fish for each person. There were enough pancake tubes and the soup could be drank as much as you wanted. There was still a strong smell of blood on the battlefield, and they saw people who were born and died all day long.

The soldiers didn't take it seriously at all. They sat on the ground in the trench, eating cakes and drinking soup.

Sun Chuanfang's appearance made the soldiers somewhat nervous. There were many soldiers in Lao Beiyang, and they had the habit of fearing their superiors.

Seeing a familiar face, Sun Chuanfang stepped forward and said with a smile: "I remember your name is Sun Ergou. You are from Baoding. How come you are not afraid of fighting? You have a submachine gun and you are now the squad leader."

Sun Ergou was a tall man with a simple and honest face. He had a submachine gun hanging on his head. He was holding a pancake in his hand and was still swallowing it. He was asked a question suddenly and wanted to speak in a hurry. He ate too much and choked.

.Tong Nianhua hurriedly came forward and handed over his water bottle: "Drink water, don't be anxious."

Sun Ergou quickly took it, took a sip of water, swallowed it and calmed down, stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the group, please attend. I didn't give in, and I didn't dare to. When Dongyang's little nose came up, I was knocked down.

At least three."

"Hey! I can understand if you don't give in, but what can you say if you don't give in?" Sun Chuanfang actually got interested and asked more questions. He knew these old Beiyang soldiers very well. A veteran in his early thirties like Sun Ergou,

When it comes to fighting, there's no telling what your abilities are. The problem is that you're also very cunning. If you can't risk your life, you definitely won't!

"Reporting to the group, there is a letter from Beizhong's family, saying that he is a new man in the county, and asked people to invite Beizhong's parents to be guests. He told them that Beizhong was very good in the army, and sent a hundred kilograms of millet to his family.

There is a sign saying that it is honorable to be a member of the military. Nowadays, it is not shameful to have a soldier in the family, and the county master even exempted me from tax and service. The second elder asked the old man Qiu in the town to write a letter, asking me to serve in the army.

Work hard, and he also said that he has received all the money he sent to his family in the past few months. He also said that his younger brother has been attending a school in the town for free, and even has a meal at noon. I heard that he is a member of the military, and the school has given him

A set of clothes."

Sun Ergou didn't speak very smoothly, and his thoughts were a bit confusing, but he understood the meaning. Now that the soldiers are in a low position and have a high position, their family members benefit from it. Sun Chuanfang knew this, but he didn't expect that the local government would do such things, and his mentality as a soldier changed.

.

"Tuanzuo, if I have made meritorious deeds, can I be given a few days off?" Sun Ergou suddenly became embarrassed. Tong Nianhua laughed and said, "What? Is there any difficulty at home?"

"No, no, my family told me about a daughter-in-law. Let me go back and have a look!" Sun Chuanfang and Tong Nianhua looked at each other and laughed together. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piao.
