Chapter 930: Just throw yourself at the moth and into the fire! (Please vote for me at the end of the month!)
"Dongdongdong!" The frightening dull sound of cannon fire suddenly sounded.
Of course, this was not what the Japanese soldiers could hear.
That is a sound that can only be heard on the Chinese artillery position.
The 771st Regiment on the flank was located somewhere in the mountains. Four 37mm combat anti-aircraft guns and four infantry guns were firing one after another. It was only 700 meters away from the battlefield where the Japanese army had begun a large-scale charge!
Those artillery pieces did not belong to the 683rd Brigade, but to the Fourth Line Regiment.
In order to cooperate with the shocking decision made by Brigadier Cheng, the Four Lines Regiment took out almost all the artillery they had at the bottom of the box. Except for Cheng Tietsou who brought a part of the 2nd artillery company for Licheng's air defense, all the other direct-aimed artillery were carried.
.
This is one of the reasons why the Four Lines Group walked a full 5 hours on the 40-mile mountain road.
More than 20 artillery pieces are big guys. The 150-heavy mortar body and gun mount weighs 220 kilograms, the Type 41 mountain gun weighs 700 kilograms, the 37mm rapid-fire gun weighs 450 kilograms, and the Type 92 infantry gun weighs 200 kilograms. In addition,
A total of more than 1,000 rounds of artillery shells were carried, and the two artillery companies and the baggage troops were equipped with more than 150 packhorses and nearly 30 carts.
The other officers and soldiers were also fully armed. Each soldier was issued 100 rounds of ammunition and 4 grenades. Together with the water, biscuits and other supplies he carried, the weight of each soldier exceeded 10 kilograms.
The Four Lines Regiment was completely marching with heavy equipment in the mountainous areas. They could walk 4 kilometers per hour, which was extremely fast as their physical strength allowed.
Marching with light equipment can make the march faster, and the advantage of marching with heavy equipment is that the firepower is not less.
Tang Dao led two infantry companies and one cavalry company in a 10-mile detour to attack the Japanese rear. Naturally, the artillerymen of the Sixings Regiment were not idle either. Under Tang Dao's order, Pang Panghai took several heavy artillery and mortars to cooperate.
The main force of the Fourth Line Regiment fought head-on with the 769th Regiment, while all direct-aiming guns were transferred to the flanks.
Although the 771st regiment had a large number of people in the Shanluqi area, after receiving the order from Brigadier Cheng, the regiment actually dispatched two infantry companies, all throwing down their rifles and grenades, and relying solely on manpower, they fired four 37mm combat defenses
artillery and 4 infantry guns and 200 rounds of artillery shells were moved to the mountain.
These eight artillery pieces were Tang Dao's bargaining chip to wait here for the Japanese tanks, and they were also the reason why Brigadier Cheng decided to postpone the mobilization of the main forces on both wings in accordance with Tang Dao's wishes.
If the eight artillery pieces could destroy the Japanese tanks, the Japanese infantry who had already started charging would be like moths flying towards the flames, crashing into the bonfire that was about to ignite.
But Brigadier Cheng, who has been observing the battlefield with a telescope, is still nervous. In fact, the battlefield is not a war game. It does not mean that having eight direct-aimed guns will definitely defeat the Japanese tanks. This depends on the level of the artillery of the Fourth Army Regiment.
.
Obviously, the skills of the artillerymen of the Four Lines Regiment, who had experienced countless bloody battles, exceeded the imagination of the talented military generals.
Only the first round of test firing stopped the Type 89 tank that was leading the way.
Two infantry artillery shells landed less than 5 meters away from both sides of the Type 89 tank, exploding into a ball of fire, and an unknown amount of mud and rocks hit the Type 89 tank's armor.
No one knows how panicked the Japanese armored soldiers were, but the Japanese army’s left hand, a few hundred meters behind, turned pale at that time!
Seeing several fireballs rising in the tank array, not to mention that the Japanese army leader is still a smart man, even if he is a brainless person, he now understands the reason why the Chinese position opposite is so quiet. They are waiting for the opportunity.
Waiting for the imperial infantry to launch a charge, waiting for their direct-aimed artillery to destroy the imperial tank. Once the tank's sturdy and huge body and machine gun firepower are lost, and the infantry alone is used to attack the opponent's established defense line, who knows how many imperial infantry will
Fallen on the road of charge.
But even if he already knows the Chinese's intentions at this moment, what can the Japanese army do? The order to charge has been issued, and hundreds of imperial infantry have already rushed out more than ten meters with enough strength. With only more than a hundred meters, they can
Rush into the trenches and tear the Chinese there to pieces with bullets and bayonets.
This is no longer about having to shoot the arrow when it is on the string, but about firing the bow without turning back!
"Kill chickens! All troops, come with me! Charge!" The white-faced Japanese army leader immediately made the wisest choice at this time. He pulled out his command sword and roared towards the front.
Hundreds of Japanese troops, led by a Japanese army commander, charged wildly!
The firing of eight artillery pieces in the mountains not only failed to delay the advance of the Japanese troops, but instead caused their reserves to enter a charging state.
Standing at Brigadier Cheng's position at this time, the field of view of the telescope was filled with 'shit yellow' that kept moving forward!
The four infantry guns at the rear of the Japanese army also began to roar, and four balls of orange-red flames bloomed on the hills on both sides of the circular trench!
These Japanese soldiers, who were driven crazy by death, seemed to be living toward death!
At that moment, even though he had seen many talented generals who were even bigger than this scene, he couldn't help but tremble a little.
Not to mention hundreds of people charging to the death, in his memory, there were even thousands of people charging, and that was during the 'counter siege' battle five years ago, but its momentum was far inferior to that of hundreds of people.
Compared with the Japanese army composed of human beings.
If he was asked to lead two infantry companies to guard there, no, even if there was an infantry battalion, even if there were 8 direct-aimed guns to help, he didn't know if he could hold on to the position and prevent a single Japanese soldier from escaping.
.
It can be said that judging from the desperate attitude and momentum displayed by more than 600 Japanese troops in the 108th Division, the second-line division of the Japanese Army, the Japanese Army's combat power level, let alone being the best in Asia, can also be ranked among the top in the world.
three.
It is a pity that the more than 600 Japanese troops, who had suffered repeated defeats but were full of fighting spirit, encountered a force that was completely different from this era.
It's not that their commander has knowledge far beyond this era that makes this unit a little different, but that they have rushed out of mortal battlefields time and time again, and their fighting will has been tempered like refined steel.
This was the main reason why they remained calm when facing the crazy charge of more than 600 Japanese troops led by 6 steel behemoths.
For example, a regimental commander who was leaning against the soldiers in the trench and violating the military regulations of the Fourth Army, looked up at the Japanese invaders who were charging a hundred meters away, and slightly curled his lips and sang a "drama": I will pay for you.
So much, but it makes me so painful that I can’t even describe it, because I love you like a moth flying towards the fire...
What is this? A group of soldiers around a certain regiment were all confused. Not to mention the strange tone of this drama, why do you still keep coming back to this word?
The regiment member must have been having a hard time with his brain recently. He must have been involved in too many battles! Li Jijin glanced at the orderly Erya, indicating that the battle was over and that he wanted to get some meat for the nervous regiment member.
Erya looked at the sky speechlessly!
Of course, there must be people who are afraid.
For example, most of the new recruits who had just joined the Four Lines Regiment were scared to death, but the veterans' relaxed appearance while leaning in the trenches with cigarettes in their mouths gave them the confidence not to pee their pants.
"Tanks are nothing. When I fought in Songjiang, I even withstood the Japanese 105 howitzer!" The veterans expressed their disdain when the Type 89 tank roared over.
Veterans like to brag, but never Xia Jiba's bragging, no matter what they say, there is some factual basis.
Moreover, the story of Qian Dazhu's exceptional promotion to company commander has long been known to everyone in the Si Xing Regiment. The reason why his infantry company was about to be wiped out by the regiment was because the Japanese 105 howitzer was too terrifying! What kind of fortifications?
They couldn't even block a blow from that thing.
In comparison, the Type 89 tank is really nothing. Even if there is no rapid-fire gun and infantry artillery to help, the trenches have already prepared incendiary bottles and explosive packets. If it doesn't work, it will blow it up.
The few recruits in the Seventh Company were calmed down by the calmness of the veterans, not to mention the guard company. They were reorganized from the original Leng Feng First Company and were the only unit in the entire Four Lines Regiment that did not absorb new recruits. All the vacancies were
They are all drawn from veterans of each infantry company.
There is no need for any reason. It is enough to know that they are a security company and the last card in the hands of the regimental commander. Even someone as stingy as Li Jiujin has never raised an opinion because of this.
The stopped Type 89 tank tried hard to adjust the turret, trying to use its short and thick 57mm tank gun to fight back at the incoming direction; the sudden smoke rising in the distance actually made the armored squadron deputy with his head exposed outside the turret already.
The enemy attack location was found.
However, the four 37mm rapid-fire cannons that had already been tested did not give them a chance. From the beginning, the eight cannons regarded this big guy with artillery as the main target, and almost all eight rounds of artillery shells were directed at it.
A 70mm infantry gun shell hit the track of the Type 89 tank. As flames rose, the steel track broke. The moving Type 89 tank suddenly lost power. Then, three consecutive 37mm shells hit the tank.
.
A large hole visible to the naked eye appeared in the huge body of the 89 tank. The Japanese army lieutenant closest to the turret mouth panicked and stretched his upper body out of the tank. Looking at it, he probably wanted to abandon the tank and escape.
But in an instant, the flames emanating from the tank surrounded him, and the whole person became a burning man. He rolled off the roof of the vehicle and then rolled wildly in an attempt to extinguish the flames on himself.
But at this time, all the Japanese infantry who were originally following the tanks were already charging forward with guns in their hands. The Japanese troops who were already charging behind were still about 200 meters away. Who could care about this poor guy?
If the script is followed, this person's ending is that he rolled and stopped moving, letting the burning flames use his flesh, flesh and fat as raw materials, and finally turned into a dark but slightly fragrant piece of barbecue.
But the battlefield is so cruel, and it never follows a regular script. A panicked Type 94 tank reversed crazily, and its tracks just ran over the rolling Japanese army lieutenant.
"Peng!" A muffled sound seemed so insignificant on the battlefield at this time, but it should be the sound of his head being crushed.
The five Little Beans were completely panicked after the boss was hit by a direct-aimed artillery fire and turned into a pile of blazing fire.
Compared with the 25 mm thick armor of the Type 89 tank, Xiaoduding, which weighs only several tons and has an average thickness of only 7 mm, is a scumbag. The 70 mm shells of the 92 infantry gun can easily hit it at 1,000 meters away.
Explode.
Moreover, the mentality of the Japanese armored soldiers is different from that of the infantry. The infantry have been wandering on the edge of life and death for a long time and have a certain degree of acceptance of death, but the armored soldiers protected by armor have no such concept.
Therefore, in the face of crisis, their performance is much worse than that of the infantry who are still marching forward.
These guys neither moved forward nor retreated. Instead, they displayed a snake-like maneuver on the battlefield. Their purpose was nothing more than one word: Don't hit me!
The eight artillery squads of the Fourth Army Regiment didn't know what was going on in the hearts of these Japanese armored soldiers. When they saw that the 89 tank exploded, they naturally targeted the five little Doudings in various coquettish positions.
The cannonballs kept blasting towards Xiao Douding. Regardless of whether they hit or not, fireballs continued to rise on the battlefield until one of the parties was completely motionless.
At this time, the Japanese infantry shouting "board load" had almost rushed to the fifty meters in front of the circular defense line.
Victory is right in front of them. Many Japanese soldiers already have melon-style grenades in their hands. They will throw grenades forward as soon as they sprint another 20 meters. Then comes their final sprint, and then they will use bullets and bayonets to kill all the enemies in front of them.
.
This scene was no stranger to them. They had experienced it countless times on the battlefield in North China.
"Hit!" Tang Dao, who was located in the ring fortification, picked up his semi-automatic rifle and opened fire first.
Erya beside him fired into the sky.
"Winter!" The red signal flare burst into brilliant light in the sky.
No one can describe in words the gunshots that erupted on the battlefield at this time!
It was too dense, three times more dense than the sound of a hundred hanging whips being lit at the same time during the Chinese New Year.
Because it was the sound of four heavy machine guns, a dozen light machine guns and two mg34s, plus dozens of submachine guns, shell guns, semi-automatic rifles, and more than two hundred single-shot rifles.
How do you describe this kind of firepower density that can spit out nearly two thousand rounds of bullets in ten seconds? If it were placed on a battlefield of the level of the Battle of Songhu, it might be called nothing.
After all, it was a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands of people fighting fiercely.
But here, it was three hundred Japanese soldiers who endured all this.
In the end, no one of the Japanese infantrymen who rushed forward like crazy could realize their previous ambition of flashing images in their minds, because no one could rush within a distance of 40 meters.
Viewed from a high altitude, the surging 'shit yellow' is like a row of huge waves that could have swept everything away. In an instant, this row of huge waves seemed to have photographed a billion-year-old reef, and it was shattered to pieces.
At the same time, we have no choice but to retreat.
But it must be said that the so-called "onboard charge" is very naughty. Even if it encounters such powerful firepower, especially the two mg34s deployed on the left and right wings each fired 300 rounds of bullets in one go, like the god of death waving a sickle back and forth in the Japanese army.
After several rounds of sweeps, at least more than sixty Japanese soldiers fell under the guns of these two "widow-making machines".
But the Japanese soldiers who shouted "onboard" still rushed towards the man, as if they were physically borrowing bullets, and they were still charging.
There is no doubt that Tang Tuanzuo and his subordinates will not show mercy in the face of these guys who are actively seeking death.
No need to aim at all, just shoot, shoot, shoot again.
The Japanese fell to the ground like a felled tree.
The courage to fight to the death was completely shattered in the face of crazy firepower.
It can be said that this was a massacre, an out-and-out unilateral massacre.
Because, in order to ensure the success rate, many Chinese soldiers in the trenches and on the hills even forgot about the danger. Instead of shooting from a prone position, they stood upright in the trenches with their entire upper body exposed and fired with their guns.
But very few were hit by the dying Japanese troops.
Not to mention a battle loss ratio of ten to one, even dozens to one is not necessarily the case.
The Japanese are crazy, and the Chinese soldiers here are also not cowards, and they are not merciless at all when they kill the Japanese.
The bullet range of Chinese soldiers is not just tens of meters or a hundred meters, the total range of more than 20 machine guns exceeds 500 meters.
An unknown number of bullets passed through the gaps in the first wave of Japanese troops and shot to the rear.
Although the two waves of Japanese troops were nearly 200 meters apart, they were still overwhelmed.
When the first wave of Japanese troops was almost completely wiped out, the fighting will of the Japanese troops who had rushed 150 meters in front of the position was completely destroyed. No one moved forward anymore, and they all chose to crawl on the ground.
This approach is undoubtedly the difference between dying early and dying late.
"Good fight!" Brigadier Cheng on the mountain peak waved his fist fiercely, smiling for the first time on his face.
Turning his head, he faced the officers standing beside him, "Commander Tang of the Si Xing Regiment tried his best to avoid the loss of our troops! Now, it's our turn. Order! Charge the entire army! Complete annihilation.
This Japanese army!"
"Tick-tock! Tick-tock!" the charge horn sounded throughout the mountains and fields.
In the sky, several red flares were bright and dazzling.
"Kill!" More than 6,000 soldiers fought out from all over Beiganling.
To use the original words of a veteran soldier who told the story of the Anti-Japanese War to school students decades later: That should be the most magnificent scene I have ever seen in my life. The entire mountain range was covered by the uniforms of our Chinese soldiers. The Japanese devils
A little yellow is simply insignificant.
From that moment on, I knew that we, China, would definitely win this war, because we have so many people!
The old grandpa is so cute, the elementary school students who are ignorant of worldly things couldn't help but cheer.
When they were young, the old warriors had a simple mind, believing that having more people would win the final victory!
That is a fact, but it is not necessarily true.
However, even old soldiers already know that what truly determines the direction of a war is an unyielding will.
A group of sheep cannot pose any threat to a male lion!
But in his heart, the scene that day, with thousands of people running wildly in the mountains of China, must be a scene he will never forget in his life.
"Baga!" Goto Koshiminan howled desperately.
However, this miserable howl seemed so insignificant on a battlefield that was already occupied by gunshots and shouts of death.
It's like no one cares whether he, the Japanese army's leftist, is dead or alive.
