Chapter 136 Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers
Huang Zhongming was coughing violently. The two Japanese gunboats began to show their power. The 75mm naval gun was completely different from the machine gun. Although the frequency was much lower, the momentum was much stronger. Don't look at Mengtaishanzui. There was a cigarette in his mouth, and he was still arguing with Zhang Dazhu, but his ears were always perked. As soon as the two gunboats started firing, he looked serious and made a silence gesture to Zhang Dazhu, and then, Hearing the sharp sound of shells breaking through the air, he listened attentively, and the next moment he suddenly shouted: "Drill."
Huang Zhongming was stunned at first, but he reacted in seconds. He quickly got up and ran towards the artillery-proof hole on the river embankment. Then, he put his body into the artillery-proof hole, and the sound of sharp shells breaking through the air was heard. It was replaced by a violent explosion close at hand. A deafening explosion sounded, and then there was the sound of a helmet being hit by a heavy object. Huang Zhongming was shocked to the point of being dizzy and almost fainted. The impact point of the shell was not far from his side. The soldier's pit was only two or three meters away. If Meng Taishan hadn't shouted in time, his body would have been torn apart by the explosion.
After the explosion, the air smelled of gunpowder smoke and something burnt. Huang Zhongming was shaking his head and trying to regain consciousness when he heard a "bah bah" sound, and then Meng Taishan's voice sounded in his ears: "Huang Zhongming, Are you okay? You can climb out and see if there are any injuries."
Huang Zhongming climbed out of the shell-proof hole with some difficulty, shook his head, and then spat out a mouthful of loess. He looked at his body and found no traces of blood. He moved his body and didn't feel anything unusual. He said, "I'm fine." Then, seeing Zhang Dazhu lying there motionless, he screamed in shock, rushed over, grabbed his hand and shook it: "Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang."
Zhang Dazhu was knocked unconscious. A stone was lifted up by the explosion and hit his helmet. The force was so great that he felt his eyes go dark and fell down.
Meng Taishan also rushed over. He first touched Zhang Dazhu's carotid artery, and then put his hand under his nose. He felt the pulse and breathing. He spit out again, opened his face, and said: "It's okay, I was shocked." Dizzy."
At the request of Suzuki Harumatsu, Major Keiichiro Oishi, the commander of the 3rd Fleet Support Fleet, maintained the artillery preparations before the landing for a full twenty minutes. In twenty minutes, two naval guns and three machine guns fired at the reconnaissance battalion. About thirty centimeters of the river embankment was cut away, and mushroom clouds exploded one after another. Dust flew up. The flying dust almost hit their heads and faces, burying many cadets in artillery holes. The Japanese army was preparing for artillery fire. It seemed to be extremely powerful, but the timing effect was very limited. The shelling that lasted for twenty minutes only killed eleven students and injured more than thirty students. The anti-bomb hole was fully effective. It was extremely effective. When the sound of artillery finally stopped, the students shook their helmets to shake off the soil, or peeled away the floating soil and poked their heads out. They looked around and found that most of the brothers were still alive, and many of them were exposed. With a smile on his face, Jiang Tietou shouted in a hoarse voice: "Every squad quickly counts the casualties and prepares for battle. Next, the Japs are about to land. They can't kill us with artillery fire. We will use Wei Qing's style to kill them." Rush to the river to feed the fish."
The cadets responded with a roar. Many of them climbed out of the shell-proof holes, checked their weapons, took off grenades and put them in front of them, ready for battle.
When the gunfire was the fiercest, Huang Zhongming, who was still not used to it, felt that the whole earth was shaking and his heart was trembling. Several times, he vaguely thought that he was going to die. His upper body was dug out of the floating soil by Mount Mengtai. He was blind. Guang, his mouth wide open, still in a state of confusion,
Meng Taishan shook his head when he saw it, pinched his man, and said: "I asked you to withdraw first, but now it's too late even if you want to withdraw."
Huang Zhongming finally came to his senses. At this time, he became fearless and said: "It's my first time to experience such a battle. I feel a little guilty. The Japanese are really crazy. How many shells were fired."
Meng Taishan picked up his rifle, checked it for him, handed it to him and said: "Our commander-in-chief said that the little devils only have three axes, cannons, planes, and tanks. As long as they can defeat these three axes, they will be paper tigers." , vulnerable." He added: "Next, the little devils should launch a landing battle. Be smart. It doesn't matter whether you can defeat the enemy or not. Protect yourself first."
"Brother Meng, thank you." Huang Zhongming said seriously,
Meng Taishan grinned and said: "No thanks, everyone will eat from the same pot, and we should take care of each other. Okay, get ready to fight."
When the support fleet launched the bombardment, Suzuki Harumatsu picked up his binoculars to observe the effect. When he saw that there was no sight of the people he expected to flip over, he was a little dissatisfied and asked someone to send a message to Oishi, suggesting: "Why not use poison gas bombs."
Dashi replied: "The military department has an order not to use poison gas bombs unless necessary. It's not that I don't use them. I really don't want to violate the military order."
The reason why the Japanese military issued this order was because Ouyang Yun was scared. The Langya squadron led by Xiao Yi made a sneak attack on the Japanese biological and chemical weapons research institute in the suburbs of Nanjing, and then a cadet soldier was unfortunately infected. He caught the plague and brought it back to Guangzhou, almost causing a catastrophe. Ouyang Yun had always been a vengeful man, so he couldn't bear this bad breath. He immediately retaliated with tooth by sending an air fortress to sneak attack the Japanese mainland with plague. Although he failed to successfully attack Tokyo, But it almost turned Nagoya into a no-man's land, causing the Japanese to break out in a cold sweat from top to bottom. Since then, the Japanese army has restrained in the use of biological and chemical weapons. This time, if they didn't feel that they could definitely eradicate the cadet army. , I guess they wouldn’t even let them carry gas bombs,
Oishi insisted on not using poison gas bombs, and Suzuki Harumatsu had no choice. The artillery bombardment to support the fleet was quite effective at least in terms of performance, so he agreed to launch a landing battle to test the defense of the defenders.
Two squadrons of Japs, under the cover of five armed ships, began to land. The landing ship of more than a thousand tons could not get too close to the river. The Japs waded ashore, and they were still frightened at the beginning. They waited until the forwards were discovered. The troops had completed the landing and successfully occupied a river beach and established a beachhead position. The captain named Naito Sauke, who led the team, was relieved. He gave an order, and a squadron of Japs immediately rushed towards the river screaming. beach, and then rushed towards the river embankment,
The depth of the river beach on the south bank is about two hundred meters. Jiang Tietou set up many traps on the river beach. Although most of them were destroyed by shelling, the few that remained were the most sinister.
Neteng Zuojia was very cautious. After the squadron that took the lead in charging rushed up more than a hundred meters, he ordered the squadron to stop, set up a defense line on the spot, and then waved for another squadron to continue the charge.
Behind the river embankment, Jiang Tietou was still watching with his telescope. When he saw this, he put down his telescope and raised his left hand to make a gesture. The company and platoon leaders had been watching him. Upon seeing this, they immediately passed on the order to prepare to fire.
Meng Taishan whispered: "Brothers, get ready."
Huang Zhongming's breathing suddenly became heavier. Meng Taishan glanced at him and laughed softly: "Don't be nervous. It is impossible for the Japanese to break through our defense line at this point."
Huang Zhongming nodded heavily and said: "I'm not afraid, but a little excited. Brother Meng, I heard that Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Yun is only twenty-four or five years old. This is true."
Meng Taishan nodded: "Of course it is true. The commander-in-chief and my commander are sworn brothers. I once had the honor to tell him that he was too young. Hey, how can you think of this at this time?"
"I also want to be a general."
"Ah, okay, if you are ambitious, the commander-in-chief said that soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers."
Huang Zhongming smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief said it again, Brother Meng, do you think everyone among you soldiers admires him very much, and even remembers what he said."
"Of course. Without the commander-in-chief, there would be no student army. You are also a student army now. In the future, you will have this experience. Okay, let's fight."
Jiang Tietou squinted his eyes, waiting for the best opportunity to fire. When the Japs from the two squadrons overlapped, the formation was undoubtedly the densest, and it was easiest to take advantage of the continuity of automatic weapons' firepower. As soon as the Japs completed their encounter, he blurted out: "Hit." Then he pulled the trigger.
When Naito commanded two squadrons of soldiers to begin the landing operation, Suzuki Harumatsu used a telescope to observe the river embankment that had been shaved off a layer. His heartbeat actually accelerated. When a beating flame suddenly appeared in the lens of the telescope At that moment, he only felt that something was gouging out his heart and liver, and he almost screamed in pain.
On a gunboat, Major Oishi was also observing the situation on the shore with a telescope. Clear flames also appeared in his lens. Different from Suzuki's reaction, he put down the telescope and looked at the group rushing at the front. The soldier was knocked down by the hail of bullets and muttered to himself: "The fighting will of the Xuebing Army is really tenacious. Even such fierce artillery fire cannot destroy it. Is it really necessary to use poison gas bombs? However, they only have two hundred people." Come on, Naito has 600 men, so he should be able to win." After saying this, he continued to pick up the telescope and watch, and his face immediately turned ugly. He thought that Naito could at least resist for a while, but the fact was that Gave him a resounding slap in the face, the student army was condescending, and bullets rained down like a sudden rain. The soldiers of Naito's brigade fell in pieces, and they couldn't even organize a decent counterattack.
"Boom..." Several grenades suddenly exploded among the Japanese troops, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were thrown away one after another. Immediately, some Japanese soldiers ran away, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers rushed across the line of fire and rushed into the river embankment, which was not far away. Within a distance of fifty meters, however, a soldier suddenly let out a scream, and his body suddenly fell into the ground. Dashi turned the camera over, and after seeing it clearly, he couldn't help being shocked. What had penetrated the Japanese man's chest and abdomen? , was actually stabbed to death alive,
The five brothers of the Jiang family were born as hunters, and what they are best at is setting traps. Although there are not many traps left by Jiang Tietou, each of them is vicious and deadly. For example, the trap that Dashi saw appeared to be just
A simple pit, but as long as someone falls into it, it will trigger sharpened branches inserted into the pit wall, and then the scene he saw will appear,
