Li Mancang showed a stern expression as he pressed the weight and continued to fire.
Influenced by the regiment leader Li Yunlong, the soldiers of the new regiment have a temperament that even the king of heaven and I would not accept, and they all like to call themselves Lao Tzu.
As the arc of the muzzle swings, whichever way the muzzle points, a dense rain of bullets will pour in that direction.
Soon, apart from the Japs soldiers lying in a pool of blood, no Japs in formation could be seen in the field of vision.
The remaining Japanese soldiers had scattered in all directions, crawling behind the bunker, loading bullets into the chambers and shooting towards the bunker.
But this is completely in vain. The shooting hole of the bunker is specially designed to be in the shape of a bowl. Even if the marksmanship is very accurate, it will be difficult to hit the machine gunner inside from the outside.
As for penetrating the wall of the bunker, it's even more impossible. Even the Japanese's 10mm howitzer can't penetrate it, let alone the Type 38 rifle?
Li Mancang started shooting, and he would shoot wherever the Japanese were shooting.
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound sounded in the sky.
An 8mm mortar in the anti-slope position began operations.
Dense artillery shells covered the area where the Japanese were crawling.
Although the Japs had bunkers to avoid side-firing machine gun attacks, they had no trenches or shell holes and could not avoid mortar shells.
The shells exploded in the area where the Japanese were crawling and hiding. Each shell carried a violent shock wave, and the high-speed flying shrapnel swept across the surrounding area dozens of meters away.
The intensive artillery fire consisting of an 8 mm mortar gave the Japanese soldiers of the Class A Division what it means to be covered by artillery fire.
These are only 8mm mortars. The new regiment's 7mm mountain guns, 10mm howitzers and 10mm howitzers are always in a dormant state.
If the howitzer were to take action, the scene would be even more bloody.
However... even if the enemy's skirmishers spread out far apart and crawled behind the bunker, facing the density and damage range of an 8mm mortar, the enemy could only take a beating.
What's more, the Japs had to face intensive side-firing machine gun fire.
As soon as the 8mm mortar shelling began, the Japanese were already in a dangerous situation and became even more precarious.
The spear-fighting skills of the Japs from the Class A division are nothing short of amazing.
Although the main battalion soldiers' stabbing skills are also their strengths, if the Japs No. 400 wearing gas masks were really allowed to break into the position, they would be in trouble.
Even if both parties exchange one for the other, it will still be a loss for the new group, and a loss-making transaction cannot be made.
Therefore, it is best to eliminate the Japs on the way to attack. The combination of side-firing machine gun fire and 8mm mortars will knock the Japs out of sight.
Through the sight of the artillery mirror, I saw two squadrons of soldiers wearing gas masks being suppressed halfway up the road before they even got close to the Eighth Route Position, suffering heavy casualties.
The brigade leader, Saburo Miura, cursed angrily:
"idiot!"
Although the Japanese have 70mm infantry guns and 90mm mortars, the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions are located on the reverse slope of the mountain.
The Japanese infantry artillery and mortars simply could not hit the Eighth Route artillery positions.
The failure of this attack was inevitable. Under the attack of side fire and anti-slope mortars, the attacking Japanese infantry could not get close to the Eighth Route Position.
The poison gas bombs are not unlimited. When the poison gas disperses, the soldiers on the Eighth Route Army will also join in shooting at the Japanese soldiers.
"idiot!"
"retreat!"
The two sides were in a stalemate for more than ten minutes, and the Japanese casualties were increasing. The Japanese squadron leader, who could no longer hold on, finally issued a retreat order.
The remaining Japanese soldiers got up from their bunkers and ran towards the way they came.
But this time it gave room for side fire.
"Want to run? No way!"
Li Mancang looked at the Japanese who were escaping in a hurry, sneered, and at the same time pressed the weight of the heavy machine gun again with his hand.
The heavy machine gun in front of me rang out again.
Two Japanese soldiers ran out from behind the bunker and pulled their injured comrade who was lying on the ground wailing.
Li Mancang deliberately did not shoot the Japanese wounded soldier, he was waiting for this moment.
The dazzling flames turned into bullets and whipped towards the two Japs like whips. The two Japs were immediately beaten into sieves.
Later.
The muzzle of the heavy machine gun was lowered, and the bullets fired sank into the soil, leaving a cloud of mud and mist.
The bullet marks extended from the wounded Japanese soldier's body, and the wounded Japanese soldier completely stopped moving.
Then Li Mancang quickly turned his gun and targeted the escaping Japanese soldiers. In his field of vision, there were three Japanese soldiers who were about to come up to save their wounded comrades, but they saw the fate of the first two Japanese soldiers.
The three Japs turned around and ran away. Li Mancang immediately targeted these Japs. Mud mist and bullet marks caught up with one of the Japs in an instant...
The same scene was staged at several other bunker firepower points, three of which still had M heavy machine guns.
4 Browning heavy machine guns and 3 M heavy machine guns showed intensive firepower and amazing lethality.
In addition, under the command of the observation post on the top of the mountain, an 8mm mortar from the anti-slope position of the new regiment began to launch a barrage.
It was almost a one-sided massacre.
The Japs were beaten back without even touching the hair of the new group of soldiers.
…
In the brigade headquarters, Saburo Miura frowned and looked at the defeated soldiers, lost in thought.
To put it bluntly, offensive and defensive warfare is a process of seeing one's tactics and taking advantage of them.
But every time the locust army attacked, Miura Saburo felt like he was punched in cotton.
In the past, if the Eighth Route Army and the Locust Army were engaged in a positional battle, the Japanese commander would definitely be ecstatic.
The biggest headache for the Japanese commanders was the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare.
But now the Eighth Route Army is fighting a positional battle with the Locust Army, but this positional battle is different from what Saburo Miura imagined.
The Eighth Route Army's positional warfare was better than that of the most elite Japanese troops, and the three attacks only damaged the skin of the new regiment.
This new regiment is indeed difficult to deal with. No wonder the base camp dispatched the elite 10th Division to attack the new regiment.
But then again, if the new regiment was really that easy to deal with, it would have been wiped out by other Locust Army troops long ago, and would it be the 10th Division's turn?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Brigade Commander, are you still attacking?"
The chief of staff on the side, Nobino Binfu, saw that Saburo Miura was motionless. Your Excellency, the leader of the secret passage brigade, would not be confused, right?
"Um?"
Miura Saburo came back from his thoughts, took a deep breath, and said in a cold tone: "Stop the attack and let Yamaguchi-kun count the casualties first."
As the order was issued, Colonel Tatsuharu Yamaguchi, commander of the 40th Regiment, walked in not long after.
He immediately reported to Miura Saburo: "Reporting to the brigade commander, more than 600 soldiers of the Locust Army were killed in pieces, and more than 400 people of the Imperial Alliance Army were killed."
Yamaguchi Tatsuharu's face looked a little ugly. The three attacks were all conducted by troops from the 40th Regiment. A total of 3 infantry squadrons and 1 infantry squad were sent to attack.
Almost every attack would result in more than half of the casualties. The Eighth Route Army's firepower was so fierce that it was difficult for injured soldiers to retreat.
If there were not puppet troops serving as cannon fodder at the front, the Japanese casualties would have been even greater.
Just now, Yamaguchi Tatsuharu was ridiculed by that guy Suzuki Eisuke, and he almost had sex with Suzuki Eisuke.
Miura Saburo asked coldly: "How many casualties were there on the Eighth Route Army?"
Yamaguchi Tatsuharu said tentatively: "A few dozen?"
"Baga!" Miura Saburo resisted slapping Yamaguchi Tatsuharu and said angrily, "I'm asking you, and you're asking me in turn?"
"Hi!" Yamaguchi Tatsun looked serious, lowered his head and said in a positive tone, "There were dozens of casualties in the Eighth Route Army!"
"Casualties 1 to 10?"
Taking a deep breath, Miura Saburo said in a cold tone: "The 10th Division has always played 1 to 10 with the Chinese Army, and this kind of record has never been achieved before!"
Yamaguchi Tatsuharu and Miura Saburo bowed their heads and remained silent. This battle loss ratio was too exaggerated.
You must know that this is the 10th Division. It actually suffered more than 600 casualties and only replaced dozens of people from the 8th Route. It is simply a shame for the 10th Division.
Miura Saburo looked at the sky and ordered sternly: "Prepare poison gas bombs and smoke bombs. This time the fire-breathing soldiers will attack together!"
"Besides, look..."
Ono Binfu and Yamaguchi Tatsuharu looked in the direction pointed by the brigade leader.
"There must be an Eighth Route Army observation post on the top of the mountain opposite. When the soldiers attack later, the artillery from the rear will continue to shell the Eighth Route Army position."
"Until the soldiers enter the eight-way position."
"Yamaguchi-kun, your regiment's infantry artillery and mortars are responsible for suppressing the Eighth Route Observation Post on the top of the mountain."
Ohno Bino and Yamaguchi Tatsuharu looked stern.
This time the brigade commander was going to take action. All firepower was deployed. In order to prevent accidental damage, the previous strategy was to charge the infantry after the artillery bombardment. This time, the infantry should charge while the artillery bombarded.
What was just an appetizer before is now a real meal.
"Hi!"
Yamaguchi Tatsun lowered his head, turned and left.
…
"Report to the regimental commander, the casualties of the first battalion have been calculated."
Zhang Dabiao answered the call on the walkie-talkie and reported to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong's eyes were calm and he asked: "How many casualties are there?"
Zhang Dabiao replied: "Thirty-one people were sacrificed and twenty-two were injured."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Dabiao looked at the corpses of the Japs lying in the distance, and said: "The Japs have killed at least several hundred people."
In the third wave of Japanese attacks, there were almost no casualties in the first battalion. The only few injured were poisoned because of insufficient protection. However, it was not a big problem. The poisoned soldiers had been carried down. Among the medicines supported by Boss Chen
Special medicine for treating poisonous gas.
"Captain."
"The first battalion suffered so many casualties. Why don't we replace the first battalion and let us take up the second battalion?"
Seeing that the first battalion had achieved such great results, the commander of the second battalion, Zheng Yu, clenched his fists and sounded impatient.
"Old Zheng, you are being unreasonable. We have a battalion of more than 2,000 people. If we have more than 50 casualties, can we call it a heavy casualty?"
Zhang Dabiao immediately retorted: "Let me tell you, your second battalion simply doesn't have to go up. Let's watch our first battalion tear off the head of the old devil Miura Saburo opposite and use it as a chamber pot for the regimental commander."
Li Yunlong said: "Don't argue. This counter-mopping up has just begun. Everyone will have a chance in the future. Now the first battalion continues to defend the position. When it's time for your second battalion to go up, I will naturally send you!"
"yes!"
First Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao and Zheng Yu straightened up and responded in unison.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp whistling sound sounded in the sky, and the artillery shell landed 0 meters away from the headquarters and exploded.
"Type 92 Infantry Artillery, the Japanese are going to bombard the top of the mountain, get out of here!"
Li Yunlong knew what kind of artillery the Japanese were using just by hearing the explosion.
After finishing speaking, he strode away with the guards and correspondents, followed closely by Zhang Dabiao and Zheng Yu.
The first artillery shell was just a test fire. Soon the enemy's artillery shells fell towards the mountain, shrouding the top of the mountain in the smoke of artillery fire.
