Chapter 182: Home is behind you

How to break through the firepower network of the Chinese Army? The solution given by the Japanese has two key points. First, the machine guns focus on suppressing the Chinese Army's machine guns. Second, after entering 200 meters, rush up and advance at full speed. In short, we must

Risking human lives. This is what the Japanese army did in Lushun back then.

This is not Port Arthur, and the National Defense Forces do not have a solid fortress to stay in, but...

There was no but, the Japanese troops rushed forward fast and fiercely, taking advantage of the period after the shelling to rush forward as fast as possible despite the heavy fire. This time difference was grasped very accurately. The National Defense Forces, who had just entered the position not long ago, were

After the fierce bombardment, they still had little relief. In just a few minutes, the Japanese troops, regardless of casualties, rushed to a distance of about fifty meters.

"Grenade!" At the critical moment, Li Zongren took the submachine gun in his hand and led the reserve team to the position.

So far, Yamada can be said to be very satisfied with this attack. The artillery bombardment is very effective. He concentrated his forces to attack the relatively flat terrain. It can be said that the tactics are successful. The Chinese army's light cannons are still very powerful and have a very fast rate of fire.

, causing a lot of casualties to the assault troops. But so what? Under the joint suppression of the imperial army's sharpshooters and heavy machine guns, the Chinese army's machine gun firepower points were effectively suppressed. From 500 meters to 50 meters, but

It took just five minutes. Braving the hail of bullets, the assault was fast, fierce and fierce. This is the pride of the 24th Mixed Brigade and the sorrow of the China Army!

As long as they are on the battlefield, the brave soldiers can kill these cowardly Chinese people like ducks with bayonets. Yamada is very sure of this, and has even composed words in his mind to report to Kamio Mitsuomi.

A little later, Kamio Mitsuomi was also observing this battle through a high-power gun scope. The two brigades, attacking from the left and right, should be able to easily clear out the outer positions of Ye County. In this regard, Kamio Mitsuomi is also very confident.

Sure enough, after learning the lessons from the previous battle, the 24th Brigade conducted an outstanding assault this time. On the other hand, the Japanese assault on the other side was not so easy.

When Yamada was excited, an incredible scene happened on the battlefield. A rain of grenades suddenly flew out of the Chinese Army's position. The instant explosion built a wall of smoke about 40 meters away from the position, and the accompanying

It was flesh and blood flying everywhere. Yamada looked at this scene in disbelief. Only the army in this world, probably the National Defense Force, would be equipped with a large number of grenades. Who would have thought that Marshal Fang, who was deeply influenced by history, had an extraordinary handling of grenades.

Trust, and be heavily equipped.

The heroic imperial army seemed to be choked in front of the position. In the face of the fierce firepower and raindrops of grenades, they could not advance even an inch and were even retreating. Yamada was in disbelief. He shook his hands in shock and dropped his binoculars.

On the ground, Kamio Mitsuomi who was farther away was not too surprised. After the landing site was bombed, he realized that this battle against the China Army might not be so easy.

Kamio Mitsuomi shifted his attention to another battlefield, which was the position of the 1st Battalion. Out of concern for Meng Zhaoyue, Sun Chuanfang came to the position. Meng Zhaoyue's reaction was not as good as Li Zongren's, and he did not pull the reserve team into position at the first time. The consequences

The Japanese army rushed to the position. Although there were grenades to block the attack for a while, the effect was far less than that of the Second Battalion in blocking the Japanese attack. When the Japanese army was about to rush to the position, Sun Chuanfang led a company of reinforcements to the position. Seeing this

In a crisis situation, he shouted: "Blow the charge!"

The reinforcements first used grenades to block the fierce oncoming Japanese army, and then used the thirteen submachine guns of the regiment's guard squad as arrows. Then came the reinforcements brought by Sun Chuanfang, who withstood the fierce Japanese attack and launched a counterattack.

Sun Chuanfang, who was carrying a submachine gun, also rushed out. Meng Zhaoyue had no chance to stop him. The regiment leader led the counterattack. The morale of the National Defense Forces on the position was greatly boosted. Meng Zhaoyue and other officers jumped out of the trenches and rushed to the front, facing the Japanese army with shining bayonets.

Charge forward without fear. The grass-green torrent of the National Defense Forces is like a sharp ox knife, cutting into the khaki formation of the Japanese army.

The brave Japanese army was not afraid. They were not able to survive the sudden attack and quickly resisted it. The two colors were entangled in one place.

The hand-to-hand combat did not take place immediately. The shameless Chinese army actually used submachine guns to clear the way. Within a distance of twenty to thirty meters, something that the Japanese army could not have imagined happened happened. At such a close distance, there was no place to hide, so they could only use

The human body can bear it.

The battle-hardened Japanese army used the sacrifices at the front to buy time. The front row assaulting guard squad kept falling to the ground in front of the Japanese army's precise shooting. The last soldier holding a submachine gun fell forward.

, behind him are his comrades who are moving forward bravely.

"Kill!" Sun Chuanfang, the Shandong Han man who rushed at the front, made a fierce thrust! Meng Zhaoyue, who finally caught up, used an extremely dangerous move to deflect the bayonet of a Japanese soldier who stabbed Sun Chuanfang. For this, he was stabbed in the thigh.

The price of wearing.

The bravery, tenacity and well-trained training displayed by the Chinese soldiers in this hand-to-hand battle left a deep impression on the Japanese army. Yes, most of these soldiers were no match for the Japanese army in one-on-one combat, but they did not fight alone at all.

A scene appeared. Soldiers in green military uniforms consciously formed a group of three, echoing each other.

"Kill!" For the dignity of the old Beiyang soldier! Kill! For the hope of the nation's rise! Kill! For yourself and your family to be able to raise their heads and live a good life. Kill, kill, kill!

Cooperation alone was not enough to repel the Japanese army. The bravery shown by the Chinese soldiers was no less than that of the Japanese army. Kong Ergou's body was stabbed in the stomach by a bayonet, and the tip of the knife penetrated his body and the corner of his mouth.

Kong Ergou, who was bleeding, grabbed the rifle with both hands! As long as he still had strength, he would grab the opponent's rifle tightly with his hands to create a chance for his companions to kill the enemy. This was the instructor's instruction during training. Based on instinct,

Kong Ergou did it. Looking at his opponent's horrified eyes and seeing his opponent being pierced through the chest by his companions, Kong Ergou threw himself forward with a smile on his face.

Scenes like this are happening everywhere! Chinese people are not afraid of death!

"Kill! Behind us is our home!" Tong Nianhua came up with reinforcements. This is the reserve team of the last company! A long shout! It instantly raised morale to the extreme. Yes, behind us is our home. We have no way to retreat.

You can retreat! This chief of staff, who always smiles, often tells his brothers: "Of course I am afraid of death, but this is a national war, and behind me is my home. If I don't die, what will happen to my family? Do you want me to

Is the younger brother who has never held a gun going to the battlefield?"

The Chinese are not afraid of death, but the Japanese still dare to fight tooth and nail! If neither side gives in, they can only fight with their lives!

In the 12th Division Headquarters, Shen Tongwu roared at the gun scope from an observation point with good sight!

"The artillery regiment opens fire! Stop the follow-up of Dongyang Little Nose."

The division's artillery regiment, which had been silent all this time, let out a roar that shook the sky, completely ignoring the possibility of being hit by Japanese artillery. The 75mm mountain artillery fired fiercely at a rate of fifteen rounds per minute, destroying the front and rear of the Japanese army.

The area between the reinforcements was reduced to a sea of ​​flames.

"The artillery battalion fires!" Fang Zhenwu, who looked calm, also ordered the brigade artillery that had been silent to fire. The 70mm infantry cannon and the 120MM mortar formed a firepower network. While the Japanese army was blocked in the follow-up, Fang Zhenwu put the elite preparations into action.

The team goes into battle and launches a counterattack!

On a front line of more than three kilometers long, the Chinese and Japanese armies fought fiercely. One side attacked bravely and fought bravely, while the other side would rather die than retreat and counterattack resolutely!

"Yo Xi! They are indeed the elite of the China Army!" Looking at the entanglement between the two armies, despite the huge casualties of the Japanese army, Kamio Mitsuomi is still very satisfied with the current battle situation. He was able to fight against the most elite troops of the China Army and win.

This is the highest glory of the emperor!

The assault troops went up, and the reinforcements followed up, preparing to expand the breach, when a dense rain of bullets suddenly fell from the sky, turning the reinforcements' road into a road of death.

"Haga!" Kamio Mitsuomi's posture of sitting calmly changed to standing up, holding the sword with both hands, looking at the sea of ​​​​fire that appeared instantly, his eyes dull. The so-called Class A division of the Chinese ** team has an artillery regiment, equipped with

It is a German or Japanese-made 75 mountain artillery. The Japanese army has long mastered this information. The problem is that the commander of the China Army is indeed unique in the use of this artillery. The sudden attack of the artillery at this juncture did bring consequences to the Japanese army.

suffered huge casualties.

"Order the artillery to suppress and destroy the artillery regiment of the China Army within five minutes at most!" As soon as Kamio Mitsuomi finished speaking, there was a roar from the sky, and his expression suddenly changed.

A swarm of black planes appeared! There were sixty Thunder Dragon bombers in total! After the last bombing, the planes suffered a large number of malfunctions. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Feng Hua sent out all the usable planes, targeting the Japanese artillery positions.

.This is also the most difficult task assigned by Marshal Fang and the Commander-in-Chief to the aviation wing.

I don’t have as many cannons as you, and the caliber is not as big as yours. It doesn’t matter, I will hit you from the sky!

The bomber group rushed towards the Japanese heavy artillery positions that had been discovered in advance. Small-caliber artillery did not have this treatment, and the range was not as high as the German mountain artillery. Of course, the Japanese mountain artillery was not idle either, and was also blocking fire.

The difference is that the reinforcements of the National Defense Forces moved within the communication trenches, and the effect of the Japanese shelling was not obvious.

Heavy artillery is not a mortar. It can be moved after a few hits. It takes a while to set up a position. It is very troublesome to move it. Although it is powerful, it is inconvenient to move and logistically difficult to ensure. Japanese artillery

It is a light road. On the one hand, it is because of the difficult road in China. The more important reason is that Japan lacks resources, forcing Japanese designers to do everything they can to make a difference. For example, in 1938, two soldiers could build a 75 field gun.

Push away.

No matter how light the heavy artillery is, it cannot move quickly, and no matter how light it is, it cannot move faster than an airplane. For large-caliber artillery, over 200 mm, one shell requires several people to carry it, and you cannot run away even if you want to. (To be continued.
