Chapter 639 Daring to die turns into rushing to death!
The Chinese soldiers who were roaring "kill", led by Tang Dao, were running at almost a sprint speed of 100 meters.
The Japanese troops a hundred meters away from the trench could even hear the sound of Chinese soldiers breathing heavily from their noses.
Before the charge, except for the rifles and bullets, the water carried by the soldiers were discarded on the spot, and the six grenades were ordered to be placed half on the ground by officers at all levels.
This is the first charge, and it is also the last charge. If the whole army cannot break through the defense line in front of the Japanese artillery position as quickly as possible, then all the death squads will die here. This is what Tang Dao had already done before the charge.
I told Li Jijin and all the other officers.
Therefore, they had to maintain speed. A few seconds after the Japanese light and heavy machine guns began to fire wildly, they arrived forty or fifty meters in front of the Japanese position.
Including guns and grenades, the average weight per person is no more than 8 pounds, which allows the soldiers to run at a speed of nearly 14 seconds for 100 meters.
The Chinese soldiers who only had this chance ran so fast that at least more than ten of them tripped and fell out without being hit by bullets...
The soldiers who were lucky enough not to break any bones kept rolling on the ground. They might have been bruised and bruised, but they still stood up again and continued to charge behind their comrades.
Those who are unlucky may faint from the fall, or even break their legs and arms directly. What a heartbreaking pain that is!
But no one screamed in pain. Although the surge of adrenaline will reduce the pain, it will not hurt the broken arms and legs. They just don't want to distract their comrades.
Bullets were also flying in the air, and from time to time a soldier would run and fall to the mountainous ground with a muffled groan and never get up again.
There was no one to care about them, and no one to support them. If they didn't run faster, I'm afraid all of them would have become trophies of the Japanese army's guns, even if their commanders were among the fallen.
In six or seven seconds, they had run nearly 50 meters. However, although the distance was short, the 350 people lost at least forty people, but this was far lower than Tang Dao expected.
"Damn it, how many Chinese are there?" Yanagawa Kazuo looked at the dark blue figure that kept leaping forward, and his scalp couldn't help but feel numb.
"Your Excellency Yanagawa, I think we should retreat first." The Japanese captain next to him suggested with a pale face.
"You bastard, you are shaking the morale of the army!" Yanagawa Kazuo glanced at the officers around him who were also looking nervous, and there was anger on his face.
"Your Excellency Yanagawa, our department cannot repeat the mistakes of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade! Do you think about how the headquarters evaluated this battle?" the Japanese captain shouted.
Yanagawa Kazuo couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters naturally praised the entire Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade for the battle, saying that the major general brigade commander led the entire brigade to bravely resist the enemy and was a hero of the empire. However, its internal report said that it was extremely heartbreaking.
They did not know how to adapt, which resulted in the empire losing thousands of artillerymen who were skilled in technique and tactics, which was the greatest loss in this war.
It is precisely because of this internal report that the major general who died on the spot has not been posthumously promoted to lieutenant general by the empire.
You died heroically in battle and you haven't even leveled up yet. How can you explain this?
Let Yanagawa Kazuo choose, and you don’t want to be such an unlucky guy, right?
Just when Yanagawa Kazuo, the top commander of the Japanese artillery position, was in a dilemma, Tang Dao led the death squad to rush to about 50 meters in front of the position.
The Japanese guards in the trenches were still in a state of confusion. Some were firing desperately in an attempt to stop the Chinese soldiers who were charging at full speed. Some were still getting up from the trenches in disgrace and looking for familiar comrades.
They tried their best to shout to their subordinates to shoot, while others looked at the gleaming bayonets that were about to rush at them, fighting with fear.
This is not to say that the Japanese artillery guards are cowards. They are also infantry. However, since the war in North China, these two infantry squadrons have served as the escorts of the artillery for a long time. While protecting the artillery very well, they
Almost never participated in a battle.
It is said that they were born in sorrow and died in happiness, and they had not been on the frontline battlefield for several months. The reaction of this Japanese army to this sudden and desperate charge was far worse than that of the Japanese army under normal conditions.
Of course, what's even more terrible is that the top commander of the infantry is an artillery lieutenant. So far, he has not issued an effective order, whether it is to issue a desperate counterattack or to use artillery as infantry reinforcement.
nothing!
The captain of the Japanese guard squadron was already considered the calmest soldier in the defense line. He waved his poor little command knife and ordered a counterattack at the top of his lungs. The area where the gunfire was the hottest was the area where he was, and he fell in his direction.
There are also the largest number of Chinese soldiers.
However, compared to the three directions in which the death squads charged, there was only one direction for resolute counterattack, which was still too little.
The Chinese soldiers began to slow down and did not continue to charge at full speed.
It wasn't that they were timid, and it certainly wasn't that the Japanese counterattack became terrifying.
"Drop bombs!" Tang Dao took the lead in throwing two grenades and then lay down.
The soldiers took out the grenades hanging from their waists. The back cover of the grenade had already been loosened. They only needed to pull the rope, and then threw it out with all their strength.
There is no precision, no accuracy, just throw it out like that. Even if there is no explosion, it doesn't matter, just treat it as a rock!
If you drop it at the front of the position, it can create smoke, making it impossible for the Japanese infantry to aim. If you drop it in the trench, you will naturally feel happy. If you drop it in the back of the trench, it doesn't matter. It is also good to scare people.
In the first wave of grenades, at least 300 grenades were thrown. According to probability theory, at most one-tenth of the grenades could fall into the trenches. However, more than 30 grenades exploded in the trenches, which was enough for the Japanese army.
Yes.
At least dozens of Japanese soldiers were blown away by the falling grenades, and then rolled in the trenches screaming miserably.
The most unfortunate thing for the Japanese army was that among the dead was the captain of the guard squadron.
Because the area where he was located had the loudest gunfire and caused the greatest damage to the charging soldiers, the death squad officers and soldiers in that direction naturally regarded that area as their target.
At least fifty grenades flew toward the trench, which was no more than 100 meters wide. The density was like raindrops.
Although the Japanese captain who fought back bravely retreated into the trench in time, he could no longer do anything to deal with the grenade that exploded one meter away.
The arm and the command knife were blown away more than ten meters away. The once handsome and straight nose was completely cut off by shrapnel, and the entire face turned into a flat plate.
The eyeballs that have lost their eyelids and have turned gray are staring at the sky, as if they are complaining. It’s okay to cut off the nose, but if you lose all the eyelids, you will not be able to close your eyes until you die!
Then, another wave of grenades came, and two seconds later, another wave.
Three consecutive waves, more than a thousand grenades were fired. With this intensity of attack, let alone the collapse of the Japanese guard squadron with only a few dozen people left, even Yanagawa Kazuo, a hundred meters away, was in despair.
"All troops retreat!" Yanagawa Kazuo closed his eyes in pain and issued the order to withdraw.
The so-called withdrawal is nothing more than running away. Before the Chinese can rush into the position and cause heavy casualties, all the artillery units run away into the mountains and forests.
Yanagawa Kazuo made a decision that seemed very rational at the moment.
At least, he and his men would not be like the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade, where the guns were gone and the men were also gone.
As for the infantrymen who are still on the front line, they can only be dead Taoist friends rather than poor Taoists.
The shrill siren sounded throughout the battlefield.
The already fearful Japanese army, no matter the artillery or infantry, at this moment, their remaining will to fight disappeared.
A shit-yellow figure jumped out of the trench and ran backwards as hard as he could. As a result, one person ran, leading several people to run, one, four or five, and then a dozen. By this time, it was an irreversible trend.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers turned around like this, not caring that their backs were exposed to the guns of the Chinese soldiers, and moved backward crazily. The speed was no slower than the death squads who almost ran away.
Just like a group of frightened chickens, if you give them a pair of wings, they will fly off the cliff!
That should be the line of defense that collapsed at the fastest speed since the beginning of the war between China and Japan.
If Kunizaki stayed here, he would definitely be angry and killed by his subordinates.
Even the Chinese soldiers looked at what was happening in front of them in disbelief.
Because they came here to dare to die, but they didn't expect that they would become the ones who were "rushing" to death! We provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.
