Nine hundred and twentieth chapters are not afraid of death
At 8:30 am on January 28, 1912, Chinese Army shelling was moved from Hartianggis to the high ground on both sides of the town. The dense shells fell on the hills on both sides, making these relative heights less than 100 meters.
The hills are all shrouded in the smoke of gunpowder.
"Damn, the Chinese have placed the main target of the attack on the high ground on both sides. They want to take down the high ground on both sides first, and then attack Haltiangis! Order the front line troops to guard the high ground on both sides.
!” Lieutenant General George ordered. Whether the highlands on both sides of Haltiangis can be defended directly depends on whether the US military can defend Haltiangis. Once the highlands on both sides are captured by the Chinese army, the Chinese army will be able to despair.
Make full use of the firepower advantages.
On a flat ground five kilometers away from Hartiangis, Japanese mercenary commander General Yoshima Oshima summoned a group of division commanders and issued an order to attack!
"Everyone, General Xie and General Du have issued an order to capture the high ground on both sides of Haltiangis. This is the trust of the great Chinese army in us. We must defeat the Americans and let the Chinese generals see it.
Our combat power!" said General Yoshima Oshima.
The commanders of the divisions looked a little unnatural. They were all old men in the Japanese army. Although their military literacy was a little unsatisfied with the times, they were also very good among the Japanese army. They have all observed it.
Although the fortifications built by the US military on the high ground on both sides of Haltianggis are not as solid as a matter of solidity, if they are filled with human lives, they will definitely leave behind corpses in the ground.
"The fortifications built by the Americans on the high ground on both sides are very strong. They are all composed of circular fortifications combined with a large number of permanent fire points, trenches and castles. If you want to conquer such fortifications, you may suffer heavy casualties."
A short middle-aged general said with some concern.
"Haga! Ishikawa-kun, what is your attitude? Are you cowardly? You are now the commander of the major general division of the mercenary army. Have you lost the courage of a samurai?" General Yoshima Oshima scolded!
"I'm sorry, General!" The middle-aged general who was scolded by General Yoshima Oshima immediately apologized with fear and fear. He was Major General Taro Ishikawa, the commander of the 7th Division of the Japanese Mercenary Army.
"I know it is very difficult to conquer the highlands on both sides of Haltiangis. However, we are all Japanese warriors, and this difficulty is simply insignificant for us.
What's more, the Chinese army will provide us with firepower support. We must give full play to the courage of the Japanese samurai and defeat the Americans!" said General Yoshima Oshima.
"Hay!" said a group of Japanese division leaders quickly.
"Kun Ishikawa, the No. 1 Highland on the left is under the responsibility of your 7th Division. The No. 2 Highland on the right is under the responsibility of the Third Division. Even if you fight to the last person, you must defeat the Americans and take down the highlands.
!” General Yoshima Oshima said.
"Hay, General!" Major General Taro Ishikawa and another middle-aged general hurriedly took the order. Although they knew that the task was very difficult, they had no way to refuse.
At nine o'clock in the morning, after Chinese artillery bombarded the highlands on both sides of Haltianggis for half an hour, the Japanese mercenary 7th Division and the 3rd Division immediately launched an attack on the highlands on both sides.
"The Chinese Empire is on board! The Japanese mercenaries are on board!" A large number of Japanese mercenaries are holding rifles and waisting, and launching attacks on the high ground on both sides of Haltiangis. These Japanese mercenaries are equipped with all
It is a Type 89 rifle eliminated by the Chinese Army, and two grenades are required to carry around the waist. This is considered the standard equipment of ordinary Japanese mercenary soldiers.
"Da da da da da! Boom! Boom!" The heavy machine guns and mortars of the Japanese mercenaries also opened fire to provide fire cover for the soldiers.
"Hi! Enter the position quickly, the yellow monkeys rushed up! Go to the left of the first company, go to the right of the second company, and go to the middle of the third company!" Thomas, the US Major Battalion Commander, ordered. His defense area was the left of Hartiangis.
The western part of the first defense line of Height 1 on the side. The defense line of less than one kilometer is controlled by his battalion. When the Chinese artillery launched a fierce shelling, they all hid in the prepared defense.
The gun hole is inside the gun hole and wait until the shelling is over before entering the position. The anti-aircraft gun hole is very strong. After digging a hole in the mountain, it is reinforced with steel and cement, which can effectively prevent the bombardment of heavy artillery!
"Hurry! Get up! The machine guns are installed, and those yellow monkeys are coming!" The grassroots officers of the US military ordered. Although the Chinese artillery shelling did not cause much casualties to them, the fortifications were bombed to death.
Many fixed firepower points were destroyed, and many of them were destroyed by barbed wire and deer forts.
"Let's fire! Kill those yellow-skinned monkeys!" a US military lieutenant shouted loudly.
"Da da da da da! Bang bang!" The heavy machine guns, light machine guns and rifles of the US military opened fire on the attacking mercenaries, and dense bullets shot over, and the Japanese mercenaries! Blood flowers bloomed on their bodies.
One by one, they fell to the ground.
"Kill! Kill those white ghosts!" The casualties of the comrades not only did not make these Japanese mercenaries timid, but instead aroused their beastly nature of resistance. They bowed and rushed towards the defensive positions of the US military step by step
go.
"Fire cover! Mortars, knock out the American heavy machine gun!" a Japanese mercenary squadron leader shouted.
The battle was very fierce. The Japanese mercenaries of the two divisions launched fierce attacks on the high grounds on both sides of Haltiangis. The American soldiers stationed in the high ground used their superior firepower to kill these Japanese mercenaries who were attacking.
.After the US Army suffered losses in the hands of the Chinese Army one after another, they learned from the Chinese Army in all aspects. Although they were still light infantry organizations with more than 12,000 people, their firepower was very strong. The first level of the platoon was equipped with heavy machine guns.
and mortars, each division also has artillery battalions equipped with 24 light 105mm artillery.
Although the Japanese mercenaries were very brave and fearless in their lives, their flesh and blood were still unable to compete with steel. Under the intensive firepower of the US military, the Japanese mercenaries were piled up with corpses at the foot of the mountain. Most of the Japanese
After the mercenaries rushed to the foot of the mountain, they were immediately shot and killed by condescending US troops, and almost no one could escape.
"Boom! Boom!" Two mortar shells fell into the trenches of the US military, and killed several US soldiers who were operating a heavy machine gun and shot Japanese mercenaries on the spot, and the heavy machine guns were also blown into parts.
"Storm up, rush up! Kill all the white ghosts!" Taking advantage of this gap, many Japanese mercenaries rushed towards the high ground.
The construction site at a height of 100 meters is not steep, which makes it easy for Japanese mercenaries to rush up. However, the dense firepower on the US positions has become an insurmountable natural barrier, and many Japanese mercenary soldiers who are charging are killed.
After death, the body rolled down from the high ground, which also implicated the comrades who were climbing behind.
The commander of the 7th Division of the Japanese Mercenary Army, Taro Ishikawa, looked at his soldiers being killed constantly, and felt as if he was bleeding. Although he did not care about the lives of these ordinary soldiers, he had to do with the various divisions of the mercenary army.
For the regiment, soldiers have become an important guarantee for the power of their division commanders. Once the soldiers die, they will have no status in the mercenaries. In Japan, there are still many old officers from the Emperor's period.
Waiting to replace them!
"Secretary Commander, the Americans' defense is too strong, and our people cannot be charged at all. My brigade has now suffered more than half of the casualties!" A colonel officer reported to Ishikawa Taro dejectedly.
"Haga!" Taro Ishikawa cursed, then slapped the brigade commander twice, and shouted loudly: "If all your soldiers die, then you will charge yourself. You won't have already
Have you forgotten how to fight like a samurai?"
"Hay! Please rest assured, your division commander, I will prove to you that I am a qualified warrior!" The brigade commander said in a deep voice, and then immediately returned to the front line.
A few minutes later, the Japanese army's attack became even more fierce. Although the US military's dense firepower was still slaughtering these Japanese mercenaries, their attacks were still very sharp. A large number of Japanese mercenaries stepped on the bodies of their dead comrades.
Charging towards the high ground, not long after the battle began, a thick layer of corpses had been piled up under the high ground.
"Dadada!" Sergeant Dak was a light machine gunner. Since the beginning of the battle, the machine gun in his hand had never stopped. The hot bullets were shot out from his machine gun, killing all the attacking Japanese mercenaries.
Death. The barrel of the gun had turned red, but Sergeant Dark didn't notice it at all. He was completely numb and only knew to pull the trigger and rush the Japanese mercenaries who climbed up the high ground like ants.
Kill!
"Crack!" The crisp sound of the striker hitting the striker sounded, but no bullet was fired.
"Damn it, why did something suddenly go wrong?" Sergeant Dark cursed. However, at this time, he had no time to repair it. He threw the machine gun aside, grabbed a rifle and continued to fire.
At this time, several Japanese mercenary soldiers had taken the opportunity to rush up. Several grenades were thrown into the trench, blowing the US soldiers inside to the point of stumble. The Japanese mercenary soldiers jumped into the trench, carrying rifles,
A fierce hand-to-hand combat with the US military. Although the US soldiers were tall and big, they had great innate advantages in hand-to-hand combat. However, in terms of technology, they were simply unable to compare with Japanese mercenary soldiers, and were even Japanese
The mercenary's fearless aura was frightened by the fearless aura!
