There has never been a shortage of scholars to study the country of Japan and the nation of Yamato. It is almost universally recognized that if Leng had to use an animal as a metaphor, the Japanese would be wolves and dogs. For the weak, he will highlight
The nature of their ancestors is that they are ferocious and not afraid of death, and even take pride in death; for the strong, they will lie on the ground with their tails wagging like dogs and look up, letting you insult and bully them, but they will only feel proud and never feel ashamed, and they will even
Act more respectful and humble.
It is precisely because of this national characteristic that although the courage of the more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers has become cold and their legs have become weak, after Imamura Katsuji personally joined the charge formation, under the encouragement of a group of low-level officers, they were still able to muster the courage to join.
This feast of death.
The air battle began first. After Wang Hai and others arrived at the battlefield with their aircraft, with the help of flares, they had a commanding view of the ground battlefield. Wang Hai immediately lost his composure. The Japanese army still had two groups of fighter planes.
Wandering over the battlefield, the mission of this group of Japanese aviation troops was to find and destroy the artillery of the student army. Guided by radar, Wang Hai gave an order, and thirty-one dolphins lined up in a long snake formation and pounced towards the enemy aircraft group.
Night battles are different from day battles. Only Wang Hai's one of the thirty-one Baijis is equipped with a radar. Even if there is a radar, there is no corresponding aiming device, so if an air battle really breaks out, he still has to find it by feel.
Target the enemy aircraft and fire. They lined up in a long snake formation to avoid accidental damage. Wang Hai firmly remembered the positions of the other thirty Baijis in the order of takeoff, and then deployed them one by one - it's a bit long-winded to say, but to put it simply
, this is the best night fighting tactic that Wang Hai can think of - after flying to the battlefield, first fire tracer bullets based on feeling, and then gather several fighter planes to fire at the same time based on the enemy aircraft captured by the tracer bullets. This can avoid accidental injuries,
At the same time, it can also maximize the damage to enemy aircraft and prevent enemy aircraft from colliding with itself.
Even so, the battle lasted only five minutes, but two Baijis still collided with the Japanese aircraft, and then exploded in the air, turning into two large burning fireballs flying everywhere.
Shortly after the air battle began, the ground battle started again.
Originally, due to the special terrain of the Guanmei Town position, the Xuebing Army was not afraid of the Japanese's superiority in strength. However, the Japanese had tanks, and although these tanks were no match for the "Mandrill" and "Alligator", they were destroyed after they were destroyed.
It can provide cover for the Japanese soldiers behind, so within five minutes of the start of the battle, the Japanese army advanced to a distance of less than fifty meters from the first trench, and began to have defenses formed by destroyed tanks.
With the defensive position in place, the Japanese infantry could unscrupulously engage in firefights with the cadets from the 401st and 402nd Regiments. This made Fan Neng and Wang Hai immediately feel the pressure.
At the rear, Liu Yuqing sensed something was wrong and immediately mobilized the 29th Xue Brigade. At the same time, he called Fu Xiangfu and told him to hold on. The artillery regiment would enter the battle in a quarter of an hour. At the same time, the guards led by Zhang Zhengxi
The machine gun company of the Fourth Brigade slid down the ridge on the left. Under the cover of the two machine guns in the bunker on the left, they appeared on the right wing of the Japanese army like a magical force descending from the sky. More than twenty light machine guns opened fire at the same time, immediately knocking down the Japanese army on the right.
A large area was cleared, and a depression was cleared.
And precisely because of the addition of this unexpected force, the Japanese army's formation began to change from a rectangular to a rectangular shape. The 401st Regiment and the 402nd Regiment were able to gather their forces to defend the right-hand position, and suddenly contained the Japs' offensive.
"Boom!" Suddenly, there was an explosion on the hill to the left of the Guanmei front line position. However, it was the Japanese soldiers who dispersed and wanted to form a breakthrough from the hill. They wanted to break into the rear of the machine gun company, but they stepped on it.
Landmines. Landmines are also a major weapon of the Xuebing Army. It is not because of how powerful the Xuebing Army's landmines are, but because of their large numbers and the strange methods of laying mines. The Japanese army each has two brigades of Japs to attack on the hills on the left and right.
It was originally regarded as a surprise weapon by Hisao Tani and Katsuki Imamura, but now it seems that this so-called surprise weapon strategy is not feasible.
Hisao Tani saw this scene from behind, and the old Japanese's expression did not waver at all. He said to the messenger beside him: "Since the Chinese have laid mines, let's all attack from the front!"
The main reason why Liu Yuqing and Jiang Guangnai chose Guanmei Town as their forward position was because the hills here were relatively steep and difficult to climb. Hisao Tani also knew this, so he just had the attitude of giving it a try from the beginning, which is why his Qi soldiers were blocked.
But he didn’t care about the reason.
"Boom--" Suddenly, another fireball exploded over the position. The explosion was too close. Hisao Tani instinctively raised his head to look. As soon as he raised his head, he was thrown to the ground by several of his men.
Another enemy plane was hit and exploded in the air, and crashed directly towards the place where Hisao Tani was standing. The wreckage of the plane was wrapped in flames and smashed down, turning several Japanese soldiers about five or six meters away from Hisao Tani into burning objects.
.And those lying on top of him also suffered from the fish pond, one died and two were injured.
The old Japanese was helped up from the ground by his men and drove to his car. He looked up at the sky and his expression finally changed. He murmured: "Artillery, we must destroy the Chinese artillery!"
On the left side of the first trench, as a Japs holding a bundle of cluster grenades rushed towards the firing hole where the searchlight was installed and successfully detonated it, the machine gunner in the bunker and the loader behind were all killed by grenade shrapnel.
All the machine guns stopped firing immediately.
Taking advantage of the misfire of the defenders' most important heavy firepower, a large group of Japs howled and rushed out from behind seven or eight tanks and chariots that had been blown to pieces, and rushed towards the first trench with great force.
Fan Neng was shot in the left shoulder. At this time, he had been lying on the edge of the trench and pulling the trigger of a general-purpose machine gun with his right hand. When he saw this, he shouted loudly: "Grenade!" Then he pressed the butt of the gun with his chest.
The body swayed from side to side so that the machine gun firepower could be output in a fan shape.
There were machine guns before, but even if the Japs had a numerical advantage, they couldn't rush forward at all. The Japanese army tried to use their numerical advantage to offset the firepower advantage of the machine guns, but three times in a row, hundreds of people were killed each time.
From now on, they would not dare to act rashly. Now without the suppression of machine guns, their numerical superiority suddenly became the decisive factor in winning or losing. The dark Japanese soldiers rushed up. Even though the students tried their best to increase the firepower output, they still failed.
It still could not stop the continuous advance of the Japanese army. Under the spotlight of the flare, the ferocious faces of the Japanese more than ten meters away were clearly visible. Fan Neng and Wang Hai could not help but feel their hearts tightening. In the trenches, some seriously injured soldiers
As the soldiers listened to the howling of the Japanese getting closer and closer, they all clenched the grenades on their chests, and the pain on their faces became lighter——
