Otherwise, there would be no way to use this tactic of injuring the enemy eight hundred and damaging one's own one thousand.
As expected by Ding Wei, in addition to the positions at the entrance of the village, after the shelling ended, the Japs in the positions on the left and right wings launched another charge.
Since the little Japs are rushing to die, Ding Wei will never be polite to the Japs. He can just take the opportunity to consume a wave of Japs troops and help the Japs to calm down the fire.
Hidden in the crowd, Higashinojima waved his command sword and directed the troops to rush forward.
He firmly believes that the pig breakthrough tactic can definitely shine on the current battlefield and break through the Chinese defense line in one fell swoop.
If you can't break a wall with one punch, keep hitting until it is completely broken.
Moreover, once the defenders on the opposite side see this tactic, in order to prevent their own defense line from being breached, they will definitely expose their firepower points, and then the imperial army will be able to carry out targeted attacks against them.
As long as we can capture the 28th Regiment's position, it will be worth sacrificing ourselves.
"Commander, the Japs are about to rush up, but their artillery fire hasn't stopped yet?" Lu Fang was a little surprised: "What kind of drama are the Japs singing? They go crazy and kill everyone?"
"They want to use artillery fire to suppress our firepower and buy time for the death squads." Ding Wei pondered.
Lu Fang suddenly became happy: "Captain, it seems that we just blew up the kid on the head. The kid is so angry, we should calm down the fire for them."
Faced with such a crazy little devil, Ding Wei did not take it lightly. He thought for a moment and said: "Send my order and order all the light machine guns in the machine gun battery to prepare for battle.
Once the devils enter within 100 meters of our position, give me a good greeting and greet them."
"Commander, do you mean the light machine gun is fully open?" Lu Fang was a little surprised: "In this case, the firepower of our position will be exposed, and there are howitzers on the opposite side.
They are just a bunch of scumbag Japanese and puppet troops, so how can they mobilize so many troops?"
Ding Wei pondered: "The little devils didn't even spare their own people this time. They are determined to break through our position, so we must keep them out no matter what.
They must not be allowed to cross our position, otherwise once a gap is opened in the position, the Japs will definitely take the opportunity to expand it."
"But once our machine gun firepower is exposed, the Japs will definitely launch a fire attack." Lu Fang said with some worry.
"So I'm talking about light machine guns. You have forgotten how many machine gun positions we have built, and they can be destroyed so easily." Ding Wei urged.
"Stop talking so much nonsense, hurry up and prepare for battle. Even if the Japanese dare to bombard us, we don't have artillery. Do you really think that our artillery is a living wage?"
Seeing Ding Wei's resolute attitude, Lu Fang stopped talking nonsense and immediately went down to arrange the battle. Since his regiment leader issued such an order, it must be because the regiment leader had already had a countermeasure.
Everyone in the machine gun company was full of fighting spirit. The other troops in the position were fighting fiercely, and even the artillerymen were embarrassed when they went up. The machine gun company was already hungry and thirsty.
Although the machine gun company is called a machine gun company, the number of machine guns can be said to be that of a regiment.
Now that they had received Ding Wei's order, they eagerly entered the battlefield, braving artillery fire and waiting for the order to fire.
The firepower of a machine gun platoon is even more powerful than that of a company. More than a hundred light machine guns are arranged in three positions.
The Japanese troops are in attack position.
Tamaki Ling looked at the Higashino Death Squadron, getting closer and closer to the main position of the 28th Regiment, and couldn't help but smile.
The pig attack tactic is indeed somewhat effective.
Tamaki Ling also ordered an infantry squadron to prepare for battle.
Once the Dongye Death Squadron rushes into the enemy's position, immediately send another infantry squadron to support them and take the opportunity to expand the results.
Facts have proved that Tamaki Ling was completely happy too early.
As the Japanese and puppet troops in front of us got closer and closer, they soon entered a range of 100 meters.
Ding Wei made a prompt decision and immediately issued an order. With Ding Wei's order, the light machine guns throughout the trenches began to roar instantly.
Although one light machine gun is nothing, when dozens of light machine guns fire together, the power cannot be underestimated.
Dozens of machine guns weaved an airtight web of firepower on the battlefield in an instant.
They roared in various ways on the battlefield, spraying bullets frantically at the Japanese and puppet troops in front.
The tactics of concentrated firepower were vividly displayed at this moment.
When dozens of machine guns fire together on the battlefield, the chemical reaction produced will definitely increase exponentially, even more powerful than the suppressive power of heavy machine guns.
In the battlefield, dozens of dazzling tongues of flame appeared in an instant, making a deafening roar.
The blazing machine gun bullets roared past the Japanese and puppet troops in front, killing the charging Japanese and puppet troops mercilessly.
Just like harvesting wheat in autumn, twenty or thirty Japanese and puppet troops were swept away in an instant.
But this is not over yet. Although they have drawn out a skirmish line, they are still standing relatively densely.
After the bullet passed through the Japanese in the first row, it immediately shot at the Japanese soldiers in the back, like a string of rock candy Hulu, knocking down many more Japanese soldiers.
The battlefield was instantly filled with the roar of machine guns and the painful screams of Japanese and puppet soldiers who were shot.
Higashinojima, who was organizing a charge, was caught off guard by the sudden firepower. He never expected that so many light machine guns would appear on the opposite side.
Just as he was stunned, about ten more soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.
What happened before?
Hadn't the imperial army suppressed the Chinese attack with artillery? Why did their offensive still show no sign of weakening?
Is it possible that these bastards can't produce their own equipment?
Higashinojima couldn't figure it out anyway, but he didn't have time to think about it now.
Not surprisingly, the Dongye Death Squadron was suppressed. The barrage of firepower compiled by dozens of machine guns severely suppressed them 80 meters away.
The Japanese soldiers who were screaming and trying to charge forward were immediately suppressed in front of their position and could no longer move forward even half a step.
And those puppet troops had long been frightened by the artillery fire.
However, due to the majesty of the Japanese and their inner fear of the Japanese, they could only press forward.
The instant burst of firepower from the machine gun platoon completely destroyed their inner defenses. The puppet troops became completely panicked and ran around on the battlefield.
If there were no Japanese around, they would probably surrender immediately with their guns raised.
"Baga, you idiots, don't retreat, keep moving forward!" When Higashikata saw the puppet troops, he roared angrily like a frightened mouse.
Higashinoshima immediately organized a death squad to block the puppet troops who wanted to retreat.
"You guys, move forward, or you'll die!" Higashinojima roared, baring his teeth.
Later, he slaughtered several puppet soldiers among them, and then suppressed the mood of those puppet soldiers who wanted to escape.
The puppet soldiers had no choice but to suppress their fear and continue to be human sandbags. At this time, they felt very regretful. They had no choice but to be traitors.
Now, even if he died fighting for the Japanese, he probably would have ignored his body afterwards and become a lonely ghost.
The machine gunners in the position don't care whether they are puppet troops or Japanese soldiers. As long as they see the enemy coming forward, they will pull the trigger without hesitation and reap their lives.
Bullets ruthlessly swept down the puppet soldiers in the front row to the ground one by one.
The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion also pulled the trigger mercilessly at the enemies in front, shooting those enemies to the ground.
Now is an excellent opportunity to practice shooting. With such a good living target, if you don't fire two shots to test your accuracy, it would be a waste of this great opportunity.
Even if the puppet troops once again acted as human shields, it still had no effect. They only advanced a dozen meters and were suppressed in front of the position again.
"Bagaya road." Higashinoshima yelled in anger, but it had no effect.
During this charge, he originally planned to break into the enemy's position in one go, but did not consider that the enemy would have so many machine guns.
According to his original idea, even if the Chinese used mortars to bomb them, they would not be able to annihilate them all.
But now things are obviously not developing as Higashinojima imagined.
Tamaki Rei originally thought that although Higashinojima would encounter setbacks, he would eventually step into the Chinese camp.
At this moment, his face was also full of surprise.
He looked like he had seen a ghost. Through the binoculars, he saw imperial troops being continuously mowed down to the ground by machine guns, and he was immediately furious.
Yumuling was so angry that her teeth itched.
He originally thought that the 28th Regiment's mortars were good enough. Under the intensive artillery bombardment from his own side, they would be able to suppress their mortar firepower.
The Higashino Death Squadron had already pressed forward to the position, but the mortars on the opposite side had not been fired. Tamaki Ling also took it for granted.
Under the outpouring of firepower just now, the opponent's artillery position has been destroyed, making it difficult to form an effective counterattack.
But Tamaki Ling never expected that in addition to mortars, there were so many light machine guns on the opposite side.
Not to mention the mortal imperial army, even if the tanks behind them were to come forward, they would still be beaten into a pile of scrap metal in the face of such a large number of machine guns.
Through the telescope, Tamaki Ling could clearly see that the imperial army was shot through by machine gun bullets and fell in pieces.
The barrage of fire from dozens of machine guns has completely enveloped these Japanese and puppet troops.
Accompanied by fierce gunfire and the whistling of bullets.
The Japanese and puppet troops were all cut into pieces by machine gun bullets, and their limbs and arms were scattered everywhere.
For a time, the entire battlefield was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.
As for the Higashino Death Squadron, in order to charge quickly, they did not carry any support firepower at all. The only weapon they could count was the more powerful weapon, and they only had two melon mines in hand.
Round after round of machine gun fire ruthlessly reaped the lives of the Japanese and puppet troops.
The number of the Japanese death squads, who were still howling and howling at first, dropped sharply, and at least more than a hundred people were shot and killed here.
Because there were puppet troops acting as human shields in front, these Japanese soldiers suffered more casualties when the third round of firepower ended.
There was hardly a living puppet soldier on the battlefield, which meant that they had fulfilled their long-cherished wish to be dogs for the Japanese.
Tamaki Ling, who was watching the battle later, finally came to his senses and immediately ordered the artillery to launch a bombing campaign against the 28th Regiment's fire position.
Because Ding Wei and the others had built machine gun bunkers in advance, even if the Japanese artillery reacted, it would have no effect.
Originally, the Japanese artillery was providing fire support, but they had to lock the machine gun position within a short period of time. This was not easy.
Ding Wei had originally built the machine gun position very concealed, and trying to lock it down in a short period of time was simply a daydream.
Not to mention that their location is very tricky, and even a single shot is not enough to destroy them.
It is simply impossible to destroy all the machine gun positions in a short period of time.
Just testing and determining the location will take some time, but now that the war is urgent, how can the Japanese have so much time to prepare for these things.
No matter what, the little devil came to fight in a hurry and did not make much preparation before the battle. How could he compare with Ding Wei who had been preparing for this battle for several months.
It can be said like this.
Ever since Ding Wei came to this base area, he has been preparing for this battle. Otherwise, why would he be so idle, digging trenches, digging tunnels, and stocking up supplies.
Prepare for a rainy day?
No, this was foresight. Ding Wei understood better than anyone how important it was to gain the upper hand on the battlefield.
In order to suppress the firepower in the machine gun position, the Japanese continued to bomb the 28th Regiment's village entrance position regardless of the situation.
I want to buy some time for the Higashino Death Squadron.
If Tamaki Ling continued like this, the attack would also end in failure, so he did not hesitate.
The infantry squadron that was on standby was immediately sent forward, thinking that even if there was a problem with the Dongye Death Squadron later, the attack of the follow-up troops would be able to catch up.
Now that the fight has begun, we must not let go of any chance of success!
Except for the Type 92 infantry gun and the Type 96 150mm howitzer, almost all the mortars that can be mobilized were also gathered by Tamaki Ling.
Tamaki Ling was already on top. He just wanted to raze the 28th Regiment's position to the ground and didn't want to worry about the consequences of doing so.
The Japanese artillery shells were as dense as rain, constantly falling on the 28th Regiment's position, but it was just like what was said before.
The trench construction of the 28th Regiment was winding and not straight.
In order to dilute the enemy's firepower, the village entrance position was originally built very long, and almost all the terrain that could be used was used.
After several months of transformation, Zhoujia Village is no longer the Zhoujia Village it was before, and its position is also constantly expanding.
The trenches were well protected against shock waves. Unless they hit the soldiers accurately, it would be difficult to cause much damage.
The further the war progressed, the more the soldiers admired Ding Wei's decision.
Originally, they had some complaints about the trenches, but they just felt that their regimental leader was wasting time. It was only because of Ding Wei's aura that the soldiers did not express any objections.
But now, after several bombings, even a howitzer that can blow up a battalion with one shot has not taken any advantage here.
The soldiers admired Ding Wei more and more, and felt deeply that they had done the right thing by building trenches with all their lives.
The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion were not afraid of the Japanese artillery fire. They lay down in the trench and braved the artillery fire to kill the enemy.
