At this moment, Takeuchi Yunshan's mind was extremely clear. He finally understood why the Chinese on the hill at the end of the river valley 20 minutes ago no longer just stood firm, but tried to leave their position and launch a less than determined attack downwards.
Originally, he thought that the Chinese were just planning to drive their infantry farther away to establish an attack position, and then deploy more troops to attack later.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese had no intention of dragging on any longer. The so-called attack here was just an illusion to attract attention. The real purpose was to establish a position in the seemingly impossible river valley.
The Japanese army commander with rich combat experience is very clear that if the Chinese are allowed to establish a position in the core hinterland of the remnant army under his command, it will be like building a dam in a stream to cut off water for fishing. The position is divided into several sections in the river valley.
The space for movement will be compressed smaller and smaller, and the Chinese will have the final say on when to start harvesting fish.
In other words, once this tactic is implemented, it has proven that the Chinese have begun to launch a general offensive and that the time for a decisive battle has arrived.
In fact, not only the Japanese army commander who lost command of the entire valley thought this through, but the Japanese commanders at all levels who were being divided in the valley also realized the crisis.
With the hand-cranked sirens still owned by the Japanese army blaring loudly and loudly, the remaining Japanese troops went crazy.
Even though the artillery company and the fire support company tried their best to throw artillery fire and various machine gun bullets at 200 meters around Li Jijin and Zhao Daqiang, who were building field positions with all their strength, there were still many Japanese infantry firing light machine guns and grenades.
Under the cover of the cannon, the charge was launched.
I don't know how many Japanese infantrymen fell in despair before even entering the 200-meter area, but there were still "shit yellow" ones leaping nimbly on the stone beach in the river valley.
The strength of the 'Steel Army' is fully demonstrated through this charge, which is almost like a moth flying into a flame.
Unfortunately, Li Jijin and Zhao Daqiang are also veterans of hundreds of battles, and they had already envisioned this outcome when they received the combat mission.
The infantry were frantically digging bunkers, but all submachine guns, shell guns, light machine guns, and grenade launchers were ready. Oil barrels that rolled down horizontally or vertically were the best bunkers. They only needed to hide behind them and attack them.
The muzzle of the gun was pointed forward, waiting for the Japanese troops to arrive after rushing through the mortar barrage and the heavy machine gun bullets reaching 100 meters in front of the position.
Then, fire with full force, emptying all magazines before giving the order to stop firing.
Zhao Daqiang's 4th Company had already tasted the sweetness of firepower coverage in the last round of annihilation battle. The officers and soldiers of the 4th Company who had received enough ammunition again were very handy, and the bullets were outputted as if they were free.
It was probably the first time that Li Jiujin's 2nd Company was so wealthy, and it was inevitable that he felt a little distressed at first. However, they had a company commander who knew how to settle accounts. When he saw that the fire coverage was not as good as he wanted, he personally joined the front line with a submachine gun.
He went to the battlefield and ordered angrily: "Whoever has the best empty bullets today will have fewer empty bullets than me, Lao Li, and his battle merit will be cleared, and the savings from Dayang will be divided equally among the rest of the brothers."
What kind of officers lead what kind of soldiers? Veteran veterans know how to settle accounts, and the people under them will certainly not be bad. Some people have even calculated it long ago. After this battle, as long as the performance of the 2nd company is not bad, the seizure plus
Various rewards, each living person can share about 20 yuan.
It turns out that we are in a desperate situation, and having no money actually means little to everyone, but it is different now. After this battle, we will retreat to Jiangbei to rest, and Dayang can send it home or buy food and clothing.
Maybe you can go to the building to have some fun, so who wouldn’t want that?
When you hear this, don't you just throw away your arms and exert enough strength to output firepower? It used to take dozens of seconds to empty a magazine with long bursts and short bursts, but now it only takes less than twenty seconds.
.
The intensity of firepower even exceeded that of the 4th Company, which was already familiar with and squandered.
As for whether there will be people who shoot blindly and empty the bullets without releasing the trigger? Those who have such doubts can only prove that they have never been on a real battlefield.
There is only one consequence for not killing the enemy: you will be killed by the enemy.
No one will play tricks with their own lives!
The Chinese side's continuous firepower at all costs is like a turbulent wave. Wave after wave, the Japanese side will naturally suffer.
And he is miserable.
Especially on Zhao Daqiang's 4th Company, nearly 500 Japanese troops were attacking frantically on the left and right wings of his position.
Looking around, one could see dung-yellow figures in the smoke stirred up by the shells. People kept falling down and people kept rushing in. It was not known how many people were shooting in the smoke. Iron oil drums filled with sand and gravel kept flying sparks.
Poking a super hornet's nest-like illusion will make people think that the number of Japanese troops is far greater than they previously expected.
Even veterans who have been on the battlefield can't help but feel numb at that moment. A large number of Sichuan soldiers even fell directly to the ground, preferring to dig holes on the ground with their hands rather than digging with engineering shovels.
But soon, the continuous and continuous firepower made the Japanese heartbroken and the Chinese people reassured.
Zhao Daqiang now has more than one 4th company, he also has two Sichuan Army companies. Although most of them are rifles, there are also shell guns and even a few submachine guns.
Of course, light machine guns are also equipped. Although they are not as strong as one light machine gun for a squad, an infantry company still has 5 light machine guns. Including the 4th company itself, the number of light machine guns alone reaches 18.
, plus a heavy machine gun, coupled with more than 30 shell guns and 15 submachine guns.
The American cowboys have already proven in the future Battle of Okinawa that no matter how desperate a charge is, it will be futile in front of the barrage. The record of an infantry battalion killing 5,000 Japanese soldiers in two hours is astounding to the world.
Here, there will be no exception.
With such a density of firepower, let alone a mere 500 Japanese troops, even a Japanese infantry brigade, trying to invade the position with pure infantry alone, would be a fool's errand.
As for the Japanese army, they are now pure infantry. They have no infantry cannons and no heavy machine guns. The few remaining grenades can't be easily fired from 400 meters away. Even if they can escape the artillery shells and rain-like heavy machine gun bullets, the mountains
There were still a few pairs of eyes staring at them.
The two teams of Gu Xishui's special operations team had already been ordered to support Li Jijin and Zhao Daqiang's troops, killing Japanese officers and grenadier or light machine gun shooters to reduce the pressure on the two troops.
From the time the two soldiers rushed down from the mountain to now, at least 6 groups of Japanese grenadiers have been sniped and killed by sharpshooters on the mountain, and there are also three Japanese second lieutenants wearing ordinary Japanese military uniforms. However, because of the habits of their subordinates,
After lowering his head, he was judged as an officer and became Niu Er's trophy.
Perhaps because they had been hung up in the river valley for too long, the Japanese army overestimated themselves after all.
Such a heroic charge only lasted less than 3 minutes. With more than 200 corpses lying on the exposed rocky beach, the Japanese troops on the left and right sides of the 4th Company were defeated by the massive bullets fired by the Chinese soldiers regardless of the cost.
.
Leaving behind their wounded comrades who were still calling for help, and the remains of their comrades who had to be dragged away no matter how difficult it was, they fled in all directions, some frantically hiding on the mountains on both sides, and some turning around and heading towards the mountains.
Those who ran behind, anyway, no one would make a fatal charge anymore.
Even everyone knows that as the Chinese gain a foothold in the river valley, what is waiting for them is that the Chinese will advance step by step, and then drive them into corners like mice and kill them one by one.
It's just that how you die at that time is a matter of the future, but if you don't run now, you will die completely.
Seeing that even his own escort squadron had chosen to retreat and frantically ran towards the mountains on both sides, Takeuchi Yunshan's tears once again filled his eyes.
This is a defeat!
The defeat was complete with loss of structure and organization, and the final countdown had entered before the entire army was surrounded and killed by the Chinese.
Does he still have a chance to see the clouds in the evening?
The tears of the Japanese Army Colonel gave him his final answer: No!
