In order to solve the problem that the hand-to-hand combat ability was not as good as that of the Japanese army, Yang Zhen pondered a lot of tactics after the situation was a little safer. Even after he gained some military capabilities, he began to produce submachine guns regardless of ammunition consumption. This was just to solve the problem that the assassination tactics of the troops were not as good as those of the Japanese army.
Problem. Therefore, it is not a surprise that Matsuda Iwa had the idea of relying on hand-to-hand combat to completely defeat the defenders' resistance.
Since he firmly believes that only hand-to-hand combat can completely defeat the enemy's resistance, he is not worried about the conspiracies of the defenders on the opposite side. Even if there are conspiracies in close combat, how many conspiracies can be used? And for Matsuda Iwa
, he also has other back-ups.
In fact, there is nothing special about his back-up plan, that is, indiscriminate artillery fire coverage. As long as he can capture the Twelfth Front on time, the loss of two squadrons is nothing in his eyes. The two armies are intertwined.
If a burst of artillery fire continues, even the stubborn resistance will be wiped out.
The twelve artillery pieces in front of him have received orders. As long as the two squadrons rushing to the defender's position are in an unfavorable situation during hand-to-hand combat, they will immediately launch an indiscriminate bombardment. Cover the defender's position with firepower and launch an attack.
Kill the troops together with the defenders. With this attack, it will be useless even if the anti-resistance alliance is playing tricks in front of them. In Matsuda Iwa's view, only dead Chinese soldiers are the best Chinese people. Only dead people
, so I won’t play any conspiracy.
Their few small-caliber artillery poses no threat to the artillery five hundred meters away. As long as these twelve artillery pieces exist at that distance, Matsudayan has nothing to worry about. As for those Japanese soldiers, let them
Be loyal to the Emperor. Death in battle is the highest honor for every Imperial soldier. There is no need to investigate who died in the hands. As long as they capture the defender's position, their death will be considered valuable.
Matsuda Iwa's mentality became stronger and stronger as the Japanese army got closer and closer to the defender's position. When the attacking Japanese army rushed less than fifty meters away from the defender's position, Colonel Matsuda Iwa's heart was completely shaken.
It fell to the ground. The distance of fifty meters was a matter of charging. Even if the defenders opened fire at this time, no matter how intensive the firepower was, they might not be able to block the attack of their own troops.
Colonel Matsuda Iwa, who felt that he had a chance to win, looked at Lieutenant Commander Ikoma Hayashi, who was closing his eyes and concentrating beside him, pretending to have seen nothing. He sneered in his heart: "You think we can really do this without your tank regiment?"
Is there no other way? Even without the help of your tanks, the brave Imperial soldiers will defeat all opponents."
After secretly mocking Ikoma Hayashi, Colonel Matsuda Iwa turned around and ordered the combat staff beside him: "Sign the flag and order the entire line to press forward. Even if the defenders are on the position, they are not allowed to take a step back under fire. At the same time, they order the artillery in front.
Be prepared, and after receiving the order from behind, fire artillery at the defenders' positions to provide indiscriminate fire coverage."
"Tell the troops in front to only move forward. Anyone who dares to retreat will be shot to death. Let the third squadron as a reserve team form a supervising team. Anyone in front who dares to retreat will open fire on the spot. All officers will be shot. Before a decisive breakthrough is achieved,
This chief of staff is here to personally supervise the battle. If they make any attempt to embarrass themselves, let their squadron leader commit hara-kiri together."
After the staff officer conveyed his order in semaphores, a confident Matsuda Iwa leaned on his saber and confidently looked at the attacking troops in front who were about 40 meters away from the defenders' position. Just as he confidently believed that a breakthrough would be achieved this time
As the battle progressed, he was slightly startled by the overwhelming grenades fired from the defenders' position.
But Matsuda Iwa was just slightly stunned. This rain of grenades did bring heavy casualties to the attacking troops, but it could not completely incapacitate the attacking troops. This was just their trick. Did they really think that
At a distance of forty meters, can these grenades alone stop the attack of the imperial soldiers? Are they too naive, or are they too stupid?
Even if these two squadrons are crippled or even destroyed, the squadron behind these two squadrons, which serves as a supervising team but also serves as a reserve at any time, is still intact, and the victory will still be yours in the end. Not to mention in this kind of situation.
On the terrain, the power of grenades against skirmishers is not as great as imagined. Even if it is so lethal, even if there is only one squadron left, Matsuda Iwa believes that he will be able to break through as long as he rushes into their position.
Of course, Matsuda Iwa also knew that the defenders' methods were definitely not limited to this. But he believed that as long as they rushed through the ten-meter grenade rain and reached a distance of thirty meters, no matter how fast their weapons fired, they would not be able to defeat them at all.
It is impossible to intercept the attack of the imperial army. No matter how fast the rifle fires, can it block the twelve mountain cannons and infantry cannons behind it?
These twelve artillery pieces were enough to suppress their firepower during the last thirty meters of charge. Judging from the level of training of the imperial soldiers and artillery, no matter what methods they adopted, they would never have a chance to make a comeback. As for
Matsudayan didn't care at all whether there would be accidental injuries at such a close distance.
With the two small-caliber mortars in their hands, even if they were exhausted, they would not be able to suppress their artillery group of twelve mountain cannons and infantry artillery. Previous battles had proven that they had no artillery. All their own artillery had already moved forward.
Under their noses, they did not take any countermeasures, which is enough to prove that the Anti-Japanese Alliance did not deploy artillery on the Twelve Tu front lines. As long as there are no accidents in these twelve artillery positions, Matsudayan can be said to be full of confidence.
Matsudayan was too confident. He had calculated everything, but he had not calculated that the Anti-Japanese Alliance not only deployed artillery on the Twelve Tu front lines, but also did not count the 82 and 60 mortars. The field artillery and combat defense artillery added together were
There are as many as eight. The wait is when they get within thirty meters and the heavy artillery deployed at the rear can no longer provide any fire coverage.
When the Japanese army rushed to a distance of thirty meters, regardless of casualties, a red signal flare soared from the defender's position. Then the red signal flare appeared, followed by a burst of intensive artillery fire.
The sound rang out from the second line of defense behind the defenders.
At the same time as the sound of artillery, there was also a strange sound of gunfire. And this sound of gunfire seemed unusually unique among the dense sounds of gunfire. Judging from the sound of gunfire, the caliber was at least about 15 millimeters. And with
At the same time, intensive gunfire rang out on the defenders' positions, and mortar shells fell on the Japanese attack line regardless of hurting themselves. This time, there were not only small-caliber mortars, but also the Eighth-second mortar.
Cannon fire.
When the sound of the artillery sounded, Matsuda Iwa, who had been so confident just now, immediately found that he had been fooled. The defenders' artillery fired so accurately, and it was obvious that they had already set the target. Five hundred meters in front of the defenders' position
The twelve mountain cannons and infantry cannons at the location had no time to react. They were either lifted directly into the sky, or they were beaten into a hornet's nest with both the men and the cannons.
Even being hit by that kind of large-caliber machine gun, the artillery shells that caused the explosion caused the artillery that was no longer operated by the artillery, and the mutilated corpses of the artillerymen around it were blown into a pile of parts that no one could distinguish. Twelve guns
Mountain artillery and infantry artillery were all destroyed if they failed to fire a single shell.
Obviously, the defenders' artillery overfulfilled their mission. Instead of using the five minutes given by Qi Zhizhi, it only took three minutes to lift the twelve Japanese artillery pieces into the sky one by one like target practice. Especially that one
The twin 14mm anti-aircraft machine guns, which were the most prominent four Type 41 mountain cannons in the middle, were all dealt with by themselves. There was no chance for the brother troops to come and compete for food in their own rice bowls.
Taking advantage of its high rate of fire and large penetration, which far exceeded the lethality of almost all machine guns in this era, it took down all four artillery positions within two minutes. The platoon leader who was eager to fight, in order not to let the two beside him
The guys who are watching eagerly come to grab their meal. Directly mounted on the machine gun are specially designed to attack armored aircraft and armor-piercing incendiary bombs against lightly armored targets.
Although the Japanese army used sandbags and gasoline barrel fragments to build simple fortifications for their artillery, the artillery itself will also be used to imitate fragments to kill the baffle. Not to mention that these things are not real armor, but the current standard armor of Japanese tanks.
Within a hundred meters, it cannot resist the power of armor-piercing incendiary bombs fired by a 14mm machine gun.
Whether it is Japanese artillery or artillery, as long as it is hit by one shot, everyone will be unlucky. What's more, this small cannon-like ammunition has a rate of fire of up to 600 rounds per minute, which is faster than the Japanese Taisho 11-type and 92-type heavy machine guns.
The rate of fire is even higher. The armor penetration thickness of alloy armor within 300 meters is more than 20 millimeters.
The ammunition used by this machine gun was designed by the Soviet army before World War II. Among the Soviet troops who were fighting fierce battles with German tanks, this ammunition was special ammunition for anti-tank guns, specially used to fight tanks. It was used by the Japanese military
How could the simple fortifications made of simple sandbags and cut gasoline barrels withstand it? At that time, even the artillery belt fortifications, plus the artillery, were turned into a hornet's nest.
These powerful armor-piercing incendiary bombs not only reduced the Japanese artillery fortifications, artillery and artillery into honeycomb, but also exploded the artillery shells piled near the artillery by the Japanese army. The exploding artillery shells were
The Japanese artillery positions caused secondary damage. Their final situation was much more miserable than other artillery positions that were hit by real artillery shells.
Seeing the miserable appearance of his artillery position through the telescope, listening to the violent explosions when the artillery shells in front were detonated, and the thick smoke caused by the Matsuda Rock, it was now understood. The reason why the defenders had been to
The attacking troops did not fight back, waiting for their heavy artillery to be unable to provide fire support within a distance of thirty meters, ensuring that their artillery could destroy their twelve artillery positions without any interference.
If they opened fire from thirty meters away, the heavy artillery deployed at the rear would immediately overwhelm their artillery positions, leaving them with no chance of resistance. But now, their painstakingly planned plan was reversed.
It's because they took the blame.
The opponent in front of him really had a deep calculation, a bold tactic, and a vicious method. No one else would have dared to use such tactics. But he won the bet, but he lost.
I lost the most money. I was careless, too careless.
Looking at the twelve artillery pieces that he had worked so hard to send to the front with hundreds of rounds of artillery shells, the twelve artillery pieces that were originally intended to be used as surprise troops were reduced to parts one by one due to the unprepared tempering.
Twelve cross-arranged artillery positions were all destroyed in just three minutes, making Matsuda Iwa almost cry without tears. If Ikoma Lin's tank regiment continues to rest there,
