With a "boom" explosion, a light tank captured by the mercenaries turned into a ball of fire. The top cover of the tank was opened, and two mercenaries with smoking bodies rolled out of the tank. "Click, click, click."
"Da da da" Before the two of them could jump off the tank, they were hit by a string of machine gun bullets from the Japanese army and fell down, covered in blood. Fortunately, neither of them had any vital injuries, and they were quickly rushed to the rescue.
The companions were carried down. With the crazy bombardment of the Japanese army, the casualties of the mixed troops began to soar. At the same time, the casualties of the mercenaries began to intensify.
For this fateful melee, Zhao Zhi deployed more than 6,000 mercenaries on the battlefield. This was almost all the mercenaries he could mobilize. The casualties of 300 mercenaries were nothing compared to the melee on the battlefield, but this number is now
However, as the situation continued to rise, Zhao Zhi began to feel uneasy and anxious. As the scale of the Japanese artillery battle expanded, Zhao Zhi knew that the casualties of the mercenaries would continue to rise.
If the Japanese army collapses, the loser in this melee will be Thunder.
The mixed force was just a sideshow, so Zhao Zhi had made a very reluctant decision to use them as the main offensive force. Without the assistance of the fighter force and the smoke attack of the Qingfeng force, the mixed force would probably have been able to defeat the Japanese army.
None of the three lines of defense could be broken through. As the melee began, the Thor minigun groups that Zhao Zhi had deployed on both wings of the Japanese army early in the morning seemed to have no effect at all. The combination of these things gave Zhao Zhi a headache.
It seems impossible to withdraw the troops and form a confrontation with the Japanese army again. Even if Zhao Zhi is willing, the Japanese army who is launching an artillery bombardment will not be willing. In this case, let's continue fighting and see who can persist.
Finally, after careful consideration, Zhao Zhi became ruthless and decided to test his patience with the Japanese army to see who would be unable to bear it first. Even if the Japanese army won this battle, Zhao Zhi would not give up Kyushu Island.
Just an hour ago, 3,000 Burmese mercenary soldiers and 00 mercenaries who sailed from Jiaodong had landed in Nagasaki. Zhao Zhi didn't know when they would arrive here, but he knew that the second batch of reinforcements had already boarded the transport plane and was ready.
Take off and airdrop to Kyushu Island. Zhao Zhi has now risked his life to exchange the injured 10,000 mixed troops for the heavy casualties of the Japanese army on the opposite side. Even if he is blocked by the Japanese army and cannot move forward, I believe the Japanese army will have to pay a huge price and wait for the backup force to arrive.
Up to this point, Zhao Zhi was still able to capture the Japanese position opposite.
The Japanese army's artillery fire salvos have turned the night sky into daylight. The successive artillery fires are hammering the ground. The shrapnel sputtered by the air waves rotate at high speed and harvest lives. They cannot distinguish between themselves and others.
As long as the enemy pierces themselves into the flesh, their mission will be completed. The battlefield covered by artillery fire has no place to stand. There are corpses and blood puddles everywhere. You can pick them up from the ground just by bending down.
Pick up a blood-stained rifle or long knife, and maybe also pick up a grenade or a machine gun. Their owner may be any corpse in the blood puddle, or it may have been blown to pieces by artillery shells.
In order to deal with the Japanese artillery positions, the Thunder fighter jets that kept taking off and landing frantically bombed the places where the Japanese artillery units might be hidden. Unfortunately, it was still dark and the pilots' search sight was restricted. "Found it" was exclaimed.
rang out in the communication channel. In desperation, a B17 used a clumsy method to find the Japanese artillery position. After dropping three incendiary bombs one after another, the pilot used the firelight to find a suspicious-looking forest. Two aerial bombs were
Throwing it into the woods, the explosion of artillery shells in the woods allowed the pilot flying the B17 to finally determine the location of the Japanese artillery position.
"Guys, it's our turn to show up, kill them." The bombers searching for other positions became energetic like sharks smelling the smell of blood. After asking the B17 for its position, the three B)s flew in together.
There were still some flames in the sky above the woods. "Little monkeys who like to hide in the woods, daddy is here to bring you food." The pilots who pressed the bomb release button looked at the woods like a sea of fire and shouted wantonly, from time to time.
The explosion of ammunition revealed that if this was not an artillery position for the Japanese army, it would at least be a place where they stored ammunition.
"They found the Japanese artillery position." After the forest was engulfed in flames, the intensity of the Japanese artillery fire was much weaker. Everyone in the command post, including Zhao Zhi, knew that this was the right place for the fighter units. The intensity of the Japanese artillery fire weakened.
The pressure on the mixed troops crowded in the position was suddenly relieved. With the shouts of the commanding officers, the mixed troops launched another attack on the Japanese defense line. The mixed soldiers, densely packed like locusts, rushed forward against the bullet rain of the Japanese counterattack.
The Japanese defense line was not as vulnerable as Zhao Zhi and his officers imagined. After being bombarded by Thunder fighter jets and a full-scale attack by mixed forces, the already overwhelmed Japanese defense line was between crumbling and immediately collapsing.
Swinging back and forth. "Block them, block them." As the Japanese officers screamed, more and more Japanese soldiers came out of the sea of fire with rifles and fought with the attacking mixed soldiers. Their courage to move forward was not only
It was because behind them there was a supervising team responsible for intercepting the defeated troops, and because they knew that once they retreated, the entire Kyushu Island would fall into the hands of thunder.
The tenacity of the Japanese character was magnified to the limit at this time. Wave after wave of Japanese soldiers with flames on their bodies howled and rushed towards the mixed soldiers wielding long swords. The burnt military uniforms and guns radiated out.
The smell permeated the entire battlefield, and there was also a strange smell of meat. Zhao Zhi had ordered all the mixed troops at his disposal to be pressed forward. The mixed troops, angered by the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army, had lost their way and attacked across the board.
The hundreds of thousands of mixed soldiers made a mess with the Japanese army, and the forefront of the mixed troops was less than 0 meters away from the center of the Japanese position.
"Let's go, everyone is free to fire." The battle situation was so strange. The soldiers on both sides of the war were as if they were stuck in cowhide glue and were unable to move. The numerically superior mixed troops did not seem to be able to exert all their combat power. The stalemate battle made it difficult for them to move forward.
Zhang Jinquan, who had withdrawn from the battle, became angry. After asking Zhao Zhi for instructions, Zhang Jinquan led his snipers who had experienced an actual battle to re-enter the battlefield. They would insert themselves from the flanks of the two warring parties and use
Sniper rifles clear the way for attacking troops.
In the face of life and death, all the soldiers, including the mercenaries, tried their best to save their lives. The shouts of killing and the screams were mixed together and resounded through the sky. The soldiers from both sides fighting in the melee had no time to take care of Zhang who appeared from the flank.
After Jin Quan and others added silencers to their sniper rifles, the snipers' shooting range was shortened to 300 meters, but even this was enough for them to shoot those Japanese soldiers who were fighting for their lives.
The addition of hundreds of snipers soon caused loopholes in the already shaky Japanese defense line. The Japanese army, which could not hear the sound of gunfire or find the flames of gunfire, suffered increased casualties due to the free fire of snipers. Some snipers had even taken down
The shooting distance was shortened to less than 0 meters. "Fire with flamethrowers." The mercenary team mixed with the mixed soldiers began to exert their strength. The flamethrowers who had been closely protected became the protagonists dominating the battle at this moment. Dozens of them were more than ten meters tall.
The long fire dragon swept across the battlefield, and an interception line more than a hundred meters long and ten meters thick appeared on the battlefield.
The interception line sprayed by the flamethrower successfully blocked a group of Japanese troops from the line of fire. Zhang Jinquan's snipers took the opportunity to harvest the lives of the Japanese troops outside the line of fire. The temperature of the flame produced by the flamethrower was far lower than that of combustion.
After the flames of the bullets burned out, the soldiers on both sides of the war could easily cross the interception line, but before that, the Japanese soldiers on the other side of the firing line had to avoid being shot by snipers.
"It's too chaotic. This won't work. We have to concentrate our forces to attack the line of fire. A stalemate will only be detrimental to us." Looking at the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke, Zhao Zhi in the temporary command post frowned.
He could see the situation clearly from the lookout hole. Chaos in command and failure to issue orders normally were the biggest reasons for the melee. Those Thais and Vietnamese looked like bloodthirsty beasts whenever they saw blood. He temporarily led their troops
The officers could not control them at all, and Zhao Zhi now regretted sending all the mixed troops to the battlefield at once.
"Sir, look to the left. Our troops seem to be making adjustments." Zhao Zhi looked in the direction indicated by one of his staff officers. Just a few dozen meters away from the line of fire, several field commanders from Thunder were making adjustments.
The mixed soldiers gathered together. Although there was no translator, and although both sides could not understand what the other party was saying, this did not prevent them from using gestures to express their meaning. Under Zhao Zhi's silent gaze, the bloodstained soldiers on the battlefield
The commander finally gathered hundreds of mixed soldiers with firearms.
"Da da da da da da" The machine gun group that followed up in time opened fire to suppress the enemy. The hundreds of mixed soldiers who had just completed their gathering, under the leadership of the field commander, were preparing to cross the line of fire and launch an attack deep into the Japanese position.
Attack. "Da da da da da da". The firepower extended beyond the light and heavy machine guns to clear the obstacles for the attacking troops as much as possible. Those Japanese soldiers who wanted to take a risk could not resist the salvos of the machine gun groups, plus the snipers.
With support from the flanks, breaking through the front line of fire seemed to be no problem.
Looking through the telescope at the hundreds of mixed soldiers who had launched the attack, Zhao Zhi's frown relaxed slightly. The sky was already bright. As long as he could open a hole in the Japanese defense line at this time, then the Japanese army would be crowded with them.
The mixed troops on the position will be able to separate their forces and attack the Japanese army's deep defense positions, and the victory of this melee will go to Thunder.
