"Yours, go in and take a look." Sergeant kicked a subordinate in front of him.
"Hai." The Japs responded, holding the gun and carefully walking outside the shooting port. Then he looked inside for a while to make sure no one was there before climbing in.
The cement near the shooting port had already been broken into pieces due to shelling. As soon as the Japs climbed in, the cement blocks collapsed immediately. A "click" sound was heard. The Japs were startled and he quickly lay down and stopped.
"What's going on?" the sergeant asked loudly,
"It's okay, there's no one." The Japanese shouted loudly, and then ran back quickly.
The sergeant frowned, glared at him fiercely and asked, "Have you checked carefully? Is there an entrance or something inside?"
"Yes, the inside has collapsed. Even if there are people, they must be trapped underneath."
The sergeant waved behind him, and Kataoka gave an order, and the army moved forward again.
Soon, more than three hundred Japanese soldiers surrounded the Dazhou Fort. "It's strange, aren't the Chinese people fortified?" Kataoka said, standing at the firing port of the main gun, looking at the deformed and bent barrel.
"Sir, what should we do next?"
"Keep searching and moving forward."
More than three hundred Japanese soldiers formed a skirmish line and began to search forward with the Dazhou Fort as the center. The Dazhou Battery inflicted heavy losses on the landing troops in yesterday's battle. Although it is now in ruins, in the hearts of the Japanese soldiers, it is still Kataoka Kenshi subconsciously started searching for the most dangerous existence in this area. After discovering that there were no enemy troops lurking near the fort, many Japanese soldiers couldn't help but relax their guard.
Kataoka quickly noticed this, and he immediately warned his subordinates loudly: "Cheer up, haven't you woke up from yesterday's blow? Think about it, the Chinese may really be undefended." Well, look at this terrain, it must have been dug out by the Chinese. Why did they dig out this undulating terrain? Isn't it just to snipe our landing?"
Whether Yamamoto Isoroku or Arima Masabumi, the reason why they believe Wanning is the focus of the Xuebing Army's defense is that the terrain of this area is centered on the coastline, with undulating terrain on both sides. The terrain is naturally man-made for the purpose of better sniping and landing troops.
Kataoka's words made the Japanese return to the tense state they had when they first landed. They slowly opened the distance, and then in small groups, each time they went up a slope, a small group would look for suitable terrain to deploy defenses and cover others. The team continued to move forward and passed five slopes, that is, five ridges. Seeing that they were about to board the first flood control embankment, Zhang Dali finally gave the order to attack.
The cadets of the 502nd Regiment couldn't hold it back for a long time. Fortunately, the troops directly under Zhang Dali's brigade were fine. When they came from Hele, they even released the gust of wind outside. The officers and soldiers of the 502nd Regiment had been eating and drinking for several days. Lazarus is underground, and many people have been holding back a ball of anger in their hearts, just waiting to be vented. They have suffered like this entirely because of these damn devils, grandma, if they hadn't had an idea of our Hainan. , Do I need to hibernate underground like a tortoise? Taking the class as a unit, a group of eleven people, they quickly rushed out of the tunnel, and then climbed up the flood control embankment.
One squad leader after another made ready gestures to the regiment leader Shen Baoguo behind him. Shen Baoguo raised his head and looked down the embankment, turned on the safety of his gun, and suddenly shouted: "Hit." Then he raised his gun and pointed at Wu. A few Japanese soldiers more than ten meters away pulled the trigger.
"Grenade." A squad leader shouted, and everyone in his squad, except the machine gunner, threw out the grenades in their hands.
Gunshots and explosions sounded instantly. Dozens of Japanese soldiers who were moving upward were caught off guard. They were shot and fell down. A few unlucky guys were directly lifted up by the air wave caused by the grenade explosion, and flew far away screaming. ,
The Japanese's giant ships and artillery were still watching eagerly at sea, and it would never take more than a quarter of an hour for their fighter planes to arrive on the battlefield. In response to this, Zhang Dali asked Shen Baoguo when arranging tactics: The battle must be fought quickly.
The sudden attack knocked down dozens of Japanese soldiers. Shen Baoguo immediately asked the trumpeter to blow the charge horn, then stood up and shouted: "Brothers, charge with me."
"Kill." His guards immediately stood up in front of him, shouting this, and started firing with a shell gun in each hand.
Zhang Dali was so ruthless that he dispatched half of the 502nd Regiment at once, with more than 600 people fighting against 300 Japs. The weapons were assault rifles and submachine guns that were most suitable for close combat. After the Japs from Kataoka Squadron were suppressed, they could no longer raise their heads. Chance,
The sudden appearance of the enemy did not panic Kataoka Kenshi. Feeling that the defenders' firepower was very powerful, he did not have the slightest fear. Instead, he was a little surprised: "Stupid Chinese people, don't you know we have giant ships?" Cannons?" He shouted: "Get down, everyone get down behind the slope."
The Japs immediately retracted and lay tightly on the ground. Many turned their heads to look at the fleet in the distance, with cruel smiles on their lips. The Chinese defenses were indeed well designed, but they certainly did not expect it. Well, when our fleet starts firing its cannons, this area near the sea will become a refuge for the imperial army.
"The little devil has retracted." Icon, the chief of staff of the 502nd Regiment, said to Shen Baoguo,
Shen Baoguo smiled and shouted: "Suspend the pursuit, bombardier, enter."
More than two hundred cadets, called bombardiers, stepped forward a few meters under the cover of their comrades, and then began to drop bombs.
A little further on the sea, the artillerymen on the Japanese ship began to adjust the height of the muzzle. Masafumi Arima picked up his binoculars and watched. He suddenly shouted: "Ba Ge, cunning Chinese people, hurry up, notify the landing troops, let them They retreat immediately."
Are the Xuebing Army so kind-hearted that they would dig ready-made trench-like fortifications to allow the Japanese to avoid their own artillery fire? The answer is naturally no. Kenshi Kataoka, who was immersed in the situation, did not discover anything. Bystanders knew clearly and were familiar with artillery battles. The regular Arima Masabumi immediately saw the trick,
Under the flood control embankment, looking from a distance, on the beach near the sea, there are not many undulations one after another. In this way, as long as the Chinese bombardier on the opposite side is strong enough, he can throw grenades to the imperial army. In the array, under the positioning of those hurdles, the imperial army between the two hurdles would have no room to hide. "The Chinese are so vicious." Arima cursed angrily, and his self-confidence was once again severely affected. blow,
The grenades fell from the sky. Although some of them passed over the head, they hit the slope behind and immediately bounced into the "trench". As the first grenade exploded in the Japanese array, Kataoka Kenshi finally understood After learning what kind of magical effect the undulating terrain created by Xuebingjun was, "If we don't hide in but directly attack the Chinese people, we can at least kill some Chinese people." He thought like this, and couldn't help but think again. Regret and hatred,
The fleet in the distance finally began to fire. First there were a few sparse cannon shots. This was a test fire to accurately shoot Zhu Yuan. After a few minutes, dozens of ships of various types fired at the same time, and the sky was filled with fire. The screams of artillery shells filled the ears of the Chinese and Japanese officers and soldiers who were fighting.
"Continue to attack one battalion and one company, and the others will withdraw." When the first artillery shell exploded on the sea in front of Dazhou Fort, Shen Baoguo issued this order.
The cadets withdrew in an orderly manner. Except for a battalion and a company of more than a hundred cadets, all the others disappeared from the lens of Arima Masabumi's telescope like moles.
"Brothers, are you afraid?" Fang Yun, commander of the first battalion and company, threw out the last grenade on his body, then raised his assault rifle and asked his men,
"I'm afraid I should have died when I was in Nanjing. It's worth it to be alive until now." A student with a beard said,
Fang Yun laughed: "Haha, good brothers, brothers, follow me to kill the enemy, come on."
"Go ahead."
Next to Masafumi Arima, a major put down his telescope and asked him: "Sir, do you want to continue the bombardment?"
In order to avoid accidental damage to friendly forces, each ship appropriately increased its firing range. The previous rounds of shelling only killed more than twenty cadets. This made Masafumi Arima very dissatisfied. As the remaining cadets began to If they rushed down the flood control embankment and got entangled with the imperial troops under the embankment, and if they still wanted to reap the rewards of the naval artillery bombardment, they could only carry out indiscriminate bombardment.
"We'll talk about it later." Arima said,
"Hai." The major made a gesture to the signal soldier above his head. The signal soldier immediately waved the signal flag in his hand to convey Arima's order. Minutes later, each ship stopped shelling one after another.
In less than five minutes, nearly 500 grenades exploded among the Japs of Kataoka Squadron. In the end, less than 150 of the more than 300 Japs survived this round of bullets. The little Japs were not without brains. They immediately realized that if they continued to stay in this seemingly safe trench, they would only continue to be bombed, so they rushed out one by one, howling, and happened to collide with Fang Yun and the others.
Zhang Dali stood behind the peephole with a cold face and watched the battlefield. He saw a student soldier and a Japanese soldier colliding with each other. The former lunged forward and plunged his bayonet into the Japanese soldier's left chest, but the Japanese soldier could not even cut it. He raised the gun, pursed his lips, and relaxed a little,
In terms of weapons, the Xuebing Army has an absolute advantage. In a close-quarters fight, one side can fire continuously, but the other side has to fire a single shot and pull the bolt. This gap is too obvious. Of course, because the distance is very close in the first place, and both sides are shooting. Rushing forward, hand-to-hand combat has become the main way of fighting on the battlefield. Some students saw the opportunity quickly and quickly pulled out the machete on their body. The machete is not a broadsword. This is exactly what Ouyang Yun used to learn from the Fifth Army Arms Institute in view of the dense jungles in Hainan. With the changes made, more students will be able to fight with spears and Japanese soldiers.
For a long time, most Japanese and Chinese people believed that the Japanese would have the upper hand in a bayonet fight. However, the real situation on the battlefield now is that it is the cadet army that has the upper hand in a bayonet fight.
The Japanese obviously didn't expect this, so when one Japanese after another was killed by the bayonets of the cadets, they covered their wounds and looked at the bloody bayonets in front of them, as if they were being beaten. An expression of disbelief,
,,Is the blood flowing on that man's spear really his own?
