As Ouyang Yun issued the order to attack, several flares were launched into the air, instantly covering all the hard-working Japanese troops. Then, three consecutive "empty, empty, empty" cannons were fired. Minutes later, two Japanese mountain cannons were exploded and lifted into the air. The fireworks were completely swallowed up, and then, together with the artillery nearby, they were blown into parts.
As soon as the cannon fired, Xie Boting and Qiang Zhaofu took the lead in shouting and rushing to the bunker, pointing their pistols at the Japanese position. More than two thousand Sichuan officers and soldiers jumped out of the bunker and rushed toward the Japanese beachhead.
At the same time, Ouyang Yun waved to Xiao Yi and other special forces of the Broadsword Regiment next to him, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiao, I haven't tested my marksmanship with you for a long time. Today, let's compete to see who can kill more Japanese. I have something to say first, but I am not interested in those Japs carrying the 38-year-old cap."
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "No problem, Commander, I also said before, if you lose, you are not allowed to use your official position to pressure others." Then, he shouted to Qian Bin and others not far away: "Brothers, Commander If you want to compete with us in marksmanship, cheer up. Hey, aren't there some of us who haven't reached the Changsun Yan level? This is a good opportunity to accumulate points."
The snipers of the Xuebing Army are divided into three levels, namely Yang Youji, Li Guang, and Changsun Yan. For example, Ouyang Yun is now at the Yang Youji level, while Xiao Yi is at the Li Guang level. As for Qian Bin, he specializes in sniping. , is now the highest Changsun Yan level,
Ouyang Yun smiled, didn't say much, lay down on the bunker, loaded the bullet, and aimed the crosshair at the shadowy Japs on the opposite side.
The artillery of the Xuebing Army totals one division, and its strength is not bad. However, because of concerns about Japanese aircraft, this king of infantry does not have many opportunities to show off his power. Except for the Battle of Pukou, and then the Gwanghwamun Gate I tried my best during the defensive war. Today, I finally got a chance to feast. But what is annoying is that in front of the Japanese large-caliber naval guns, this 150 mm caliber heavy artillery has no advantage at all. The entire regiment The heavy artillery, with the support of a regiment of tank guns, has been hit until now, and only four of them are left. This makes the living artillerymen without exception hold a fire in their hearts. Therefore, once they receive the battle order, these surviving artillerymen The four heavy artillery pieces were immediately controlled like crazy. Outside the cab of the self-propelled artillery, more than a dozen people were waiting with shells on their shoulders. They were determined to use the shells to directly destroy the little Japanese's will to fight.
The illumination bombs rose into the sky one after another. Under the guidance of the illumination bombs, one after another the artillery shells roared towards the Japanese beachhead. Every fireball that exploded could always take away the lives of several Japanese soldiers.
Ouyang Yun quickly entered combat mode, killing a heavy machine gunner with one shot and a Japanese officer with another shot. He was looking for the next priority target. Suddenly, a fireball exploded in his field of vision. In the firelight, two people were clearly visible. The Japanese also had a Type 92 light machine gun flying up,
Liu Zheliang, who had been standing by Ouyang Yun's side, said at this time: "Commander, our artillery is showing off."
Ouyang Yun frowned: "Why are you still shooting? Our people are about to rush forward. These guys are not afraid of hurting their own people."
"It's been extended. This is good. It can at least cause mental oppression to the little devils. Don't the little devils like to rely on sharp artillery fire to suppress them? This time is just for them to have a taste. Commander, don't be distracted, Captain Xiao. Four have been killed already.”
"Ah." Ouyang Yun sighed and turned his attention to the battle.
All in all, it had been a long time since Ouyang Yun had the opportunity to go to the front line to shoot snipers. What made him happy was that he didn't seem to have used up all his skills. At least the first three shots hit the target.
Lieutenant Colonel Goto was very happy when he discovered that the Chinese people actually started to counterattack. The headquarters ordered them not to attack. Now that the Chinese people are taking the initiative to attack, if he repelled the Chinese people's offensive and fought out at the same time, this should not be considered a violation of the order. Well, he said so calculatingly, without any awareness in his mind that he might be defeated.
Therefore, the first order he gave to his subordinates was: "Counterattack and be ready to charge. As long as we repel the Chinese offensive, we will immediately catch up with them. This is an opportunity given to us by the Chinese."
Because of his guiding ideology, the Japanese soldiers in Goto's brigade behaved very bravely. While firing back one by one, they were also ready to attack.
In less than ten minutes, the cruel facts crushed Goto's beautiful fantasy.
To be precise, Lieutenant Colonel Goto had a chance to escape and ascend to heaven before he was shot to death. When he stood up, waved his command sword, encouraged his men, and shouted, "Hold on, the Chinese troops are limited, as long as they can withstand this round , the victory will definitely belong to the Imperial Japanese Army." At the next moment, his heart suddenly throbbed instinctively, and then he subconsciously looked in a certain direction. At this moment, if he lay down or squatted down immediately, he should He could dodge the bullets fired by Ouyang Yun. Of course, he made the wrong choice to give up this only chance of survival. In his vision before he died, a bunch of firelight was as brilliant as cherry blossoms in bloom. Then, he only felt something being hit on his head. After one bite, he was slapped backwards and completely lost consciousness.
Goto was the fifth Japanese that Ouyang Yun killed. Before that, he had fired three empty shots, and these three empty shots were all noticed by Xiao Yi without exception. For this reason, Xiao Yi It was very hateful to give him three weird smiles, which made Ouyang Yun, who was already at the level of the Great Wall, blush for the first time.
"He's MD. It seems he's not a genius. He still needs training to maintain his condition." He explained to himself like this. Two minutes later, he got an excellent opportunity, and this time he undoubtedly caught a big fish. fish,
According to the sniper points standard, one lieutenant commander is equal to nine points, which is equivalent to the sum of four and a half machine gunners. With just one shot, his points immediately surpassed Xiao Yi's.
Goto is definitely worth nine points, because his death immediately caused chaos in the brigade, and some Japanese even began to rush out of the temporary bunkers on their own initiative, which directly exposed them to the firepower of the Sichuan soldiers. ,
According to common sense, this battle will last at least three hours. Even though Qingyuan Major has lingering fears about the Xue Bing Army, he still believes that this is the most conservative estimate. The attacking Chinese are only a mere two thousand, and there are only two thousand on the side. Here It was a river beach again. Even if the Chinese had a favorable location, they would not be able to exert their power to great effect. However, the fact surprised him. First, Lieutenant Colonel Goto was shot in the head with a shot, and the Goto brigade immediately fell into chaos. This made later The combat effectiveness of the Teng Brigade immediately dropped a lot; then, several tanks cut in from the right, crushing and shooting all the way, and it was as if they were in an uninhabited land.
The Japanese in Goto's brigade did not have a clear understanding of the Tsugumi tank, but Qingyuan, who had suffered heavy losses in its hands, knew how powerful it was. The battle lasted for an hour, and as the Goto brigade on the right was squeezed Entering the position of Qingyuan Brigade, Qingyuan knew that something was not going well. Qingyuan Major was decisive and immediately asked his subordinates to send a message to the main force on the other side for reinforcements, asking them to carry out indiscriminate bombardment. At the end of the telegram, he said: "Our unit has been surrounded. The Chinese artillery and chariots are sharp, and they will be destroyed sooner or later. Please fulfill the last wish of our officers and men."
After Qingyuan Major was ready to "break the jade", his courage doubled, and he began to fight against the enemy. Facing the incoming Sichuan soldiers, he no longer persisted blindly, but led the remaining Japanese troops to launch a desperate counterattack, hoping to defeat the enemy. Some enemy troops were held back to give the artillery on the other side the opportunity to bombard them indiscriminately.
Unfortunately, fate is not as good as fate. At this time, the Japanese headquarters on the other side was no longer in the mood to take care of them, because even greater bad news came. The 18th Division was unexpectedly surrounded by superior enemy forces in the Bailinpu area of Wujiang River. At Pukou Railway Station, the Taiwanese infantry brigade that rushed into the station on a small train also encountered counterattacks and counter-encirclement by superior enemy forces.
In Bailinpu, the first to launch the attack was not the 60th Division, which had been ambushed in the reed swamps, but Wu Keren's 117th Division, which was ambushing Wu Keren five kilometers away from the 60th Division.
The 117th Division was ambushing in the rice fields of a small village called Da Annan. In a village about one kilometer away from them, the 103rd Division and an artillery unit originally belonging to the second and third echelons were ambushing. regiment, as for the two tank regiments that originally belonged to these two sequences, they were directly deployed in Wujiang County.
The Japanese army marched overnight. For the sake of concealment, after entering Wujiang territory, except for the exploration troops at the front who turned on their headlights and flashlights, all the vehicles behind them only turned on their fog lights, and all the people on foot marched in the dark. This directly caused the 18th Division to march at a snail's pace.
At three o'clock in the morning, Wu Keren received a telegram from Lin Baiyin, which stated that the Japanese vanguard had arrived at the Reed Marsh. It was not until about 3:30 in the morning that Wu Keren heard the roar of the truck engine, one by one. All the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Division were ambushing in the rice fields. Although it was midsummer and the temperature at night was not low, lying in the mud and water for several hours was too much for anyone. This made the always good-tempered man Wu Keren couldn't help but secretly curse: These idiots, are they marching or going home to visit relatives? What speed is this?
It’s no wonder that Wu Keren complained that although the 117th Division was also an elite soldier, after all, the idea of building an army was different, and the quality of the workers, peasants and soldiers under the red regime was not the same. Their level of hardship and hard work was naturally far inferior, and if not Ouyang Yun issued a death order and asked them to enter the ambush position in advance. Wu Keren would probably take his brothers and sit on the road for a few hours until the Sixty Division sent a telegram before entering the ambush position.
Fortunately, the Japs finally arrived. Wu Keren believed that once the fighting started, his brothers would immediately forget the bad feeling the mud brought to him. Seeing several flashlights swaying in the distance, he picked up his rifle. The phone opened the microphone and called Fu Kaixing: "White Shark, White Shark, this is the finless porpoise, please answer me, over."
