The first to take action was not the Navy, but the Marines!
Target:
Sulfur balls!
Just a few decades ago, the Sulfur Kingdom still existed. This kingdom still had its own language. During the Ming Dynasty of China, the ruler of Ryukyu Island was named King of Ryukyu. Because of the convenient waterways, it was a trade hub for neighboring countries. In 1609
Invaded by Japan, in 1693, the Satsuma Domain was forced to cede the northern Amami Islands to Japan. From then on, Japan launched a plan to gradually annex the Ryukyu Kingdom. It was destroyed by Japan on March 30, 1879.
In 1879, the Ryukyu Kingdom was incorporated into Japanese territory, and Okinawa Prefecture was established in the same year.
Sulfur balls have always been a part of China, always have been!
In the 26th year of the Republic of China, on April 24, 1937, with the cooperation of the navy, the 19th Task Force Squadron of the Chinese Marine Corps landed at Sulfur Ball!
Sulfur ball, Xijie Island.
At midnight, Kong Qingfang huddled in the trench, covered with all the weapons and equipment he could carry. There were three magazines filled with live ammunition in the bullet belt on his chest, and he carried four grenades and a kettle filled with water on his back.
.
The "Golden 21" submachine gun was placed on the right side of his body within reach. He held up his dry eyes that were fighting up and down, looked left and right, and then focused on the snoring man lying on his side.
Jiang Boyou raised his left foot and stretched it out gently.
At this time, three green flares shot up somewhere behind him, drew three beautiful green arcs in the sky, and then flew towards the side of the mountain. Kong Qingfang took the opportunity to put more weight on his feet and fiercely
He kicked Jiang Boyou hard and shouted: "Jiang Boyou, the attack has begun."
After saying that, he quickly turned around, grabbed the edge of the trench and was about to jump up. Suddenly, a curse came from not far away: "Who is that, seeking death? Get down here."
Jiang Boyou, who was about to jump up after him, pulled him down and said, "The platoon leader is scolding you! Don't get down yet."
As soon as the two people buried their bodies, they saw a fire light up above their heads, and then there was a continuous sound of shelling. Hundreds of cannons and indistinguishable firearms on the ship, with a scary sound of "swish, swish, swish"
The roar jumped over.
After watching these fire lines flying neatly, explosions broke out on the opposite hillside, and tongues of fire stepped on Beethoven's symphony-like music to form a sea of fire. In an instant, the God of Destiny swallowed up the entire silent night, and in the dazzling red color
The light officially kicked off a human war.
Kong Qingfang quietly poked his head out, and saw in the firelight on the opposite hillside, people running like wolves and squirrels beating the fire on their bodies. Occasionally, sporadic gunshots could be heard elsewhere.
He had never participated in a real war and had only served as a soldier for half a year. He was stunned when he saw this scene. At the moment when he was in a daze, something hit him hard on the buttocks. It hurt.
Before he could say "Oh!", he felt his body lightened and someone knocked him down firmly in the ditch. He rolled on the ground, and just when he was about to stand up and get angry, someone stepped on him again.
Foot. Kong Qingfang was about to curse, but when he raised his eyes, he saw platoon leader Zhu Dou and Chen Zheng staring at him fiercely and scolding him fiercely: "Do you want to die? You will be killed here before you go to the battlefield."
Kong Qingfang was about to lose his energy and immediately lay down on the ground motionless. After the platoon leader Zhu Douchen scolded him, he turned to the stupid Jiang Boyou and said, "He's still a veteran! Seeing him acting like a bear, how could he
If you don’t correct him, he’s simply a fool.”
When the two of them saw the platoon leader getting angry, neither one of them dared to say anything. One of them squatted and the other lay down like a mouse seeing a cat. Zhu Douchen took the foot off Kong Qingfang's body and said to Jiang Boyou, "Give it to me later."
Look at him to death, if he moves again, I will tie him up. If there is a problem, I will ask you."
"Yes!" Jiang Boyou agreed quickly.
After Zhu Douchen finished speaking, he ducked into the darkness on the right side.
Jiang Boyou squatted down and laughed at Kong Qingfang and said, "This is what the platoon leader said. If you are not honest, I will really tie you up!"
Kong Qingfang stared at his big eyes. He didn't know whether he was frightened or unconvinced. He stared hard at Jiang Boyou without saying anything back. Jiang Boyou was a little embarrassed by what he saw and said: "I have never seen a recruit like you before.
It's like this, others are so scared that they want to pee their pants, but you dare to show your head!"
Jiang Boyou was a soldier a year earlier than Kong Qingfang, so he dared to call him Danzi. There is an unwritten rule in the army. After recruits join the army, in order to show respect for the veterans, they usually call the veterans squad leader, no matter how many years they have.
Years or more years. The more modest veterans can take the initiative to correct themselves after hearing this title, while some veterans don’t care about it. You call me your name, and I will listen to mine. Anyway, I don’t agree to it. In short, it’s
The new rules of respecting the elderly cannot be changed. Kong
Harukata was really obedient this time. I don't know if he was afraid of the platoon leader or the veteran, but no one asked him to get up, so he just lay there motionless.
Half an hour after the artillery preparations, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. At this time, the order to "prepare to charge" came from the other end of the trench.
Kong Qingfang jumped up from the ground like a carp, grabbed his submachine gun and lay down on the edge of the ditch.
When two red flares lit up in the sky again, platoon leader Zhu Douchen issued a battle order to the entire platoon.
Under the leadership of platoon leader Zhu Douchen, the middlemen of the second platoon quickly jumped out of the trench and silently moved toward the opposite hill. At this time, the entire trench edge was filled with troops charging forward. Company after company,
The boundaries between platoons and platoons and between classes are disrupted.
Someone started shouting in the darkness, "Squad leader, where are you?"
"Lao Li, come here quickly."
In order not to expose the attacking team to enemy firepower, no fire is allowed during the attack. This is indeed a big problem for soldiers participating in night battles.
These soldiers who rushed forward in the dark were disrupted before they ran 400 meters. The soldiers of the 7th Squadron rushed to the 8th Squadron, and the soldiers of the 2nd Squadron jumped to the 8th Squadron. Some platoon leaders could not find themselves.
Some soldiers can't find their squad leaders.
Fortunately, sufficient preparations were made before the war. Soldiers who could not find an organization could join the nearest Band of Brothers organization to fight, and could only return to the team when conditions permitted.
When the second platoon of Team 7, where Kong Qingfang was, was approaching the hillside, two soldiers carrying pistols stopped their advancing team. One soldier said: "Look carefully at the sign in front and follow the demining channel.
"
Kong Qingfang looked up and saw two signs with arrows stuck in them. Between the two signs was a ditch two meters wide and one foot deep. He remembered that during the artillery attack, there were several signs.
Strings of fire dragons exploded at the foot of the hillside. It seemed that this was the demining tunnel dug by demining bombs.
The troops rushed to the middle of the hillside. Suddenly, a flame burst out from behind a huge rock on the top of the mountain, followed by the sound of machine guns "ta, ta, ta". Several soldiers rushing in front fell down in response to the sound, "porphyry, porphyry".
Two bullets hit Kong Qingfang's feet.
As soon as you hear the sound, you know that this is an anti-aircraft machine gun. Its performance can be used to shoot at low-altitude aircraft and can also be used as ground suppressive firepower.
Because of its long shooting distance, fast rate of fire, light weight, and large warhead, it is very effective for mountain operations, especially for blocking mountain pass intersections. The firepower is several times that of a squad heavy machine gun. It is really said that one man can block the barrier and ten thousand men cannot open it.
.
The attacking troops on the hillside were so suppressed by the machine gun that they could not raise their heads. Platoon leader Zhu Douchen hid in a low-lying area, smashed his fist on the ground and cursed: "These are the idiots."
Zhu Douchen organized fire suppression several times but failed. He rubbed his hands anxiously to think of a solution.
After a while, a soldier crawled up from below and asked, "The company commander asked you, why don't you rush up?"
"I can't charge forward. Tell the captain to bring the 'big guy' up." Zhu Douchen said angrily to the soldier.
After a while, two soldiers carrying a "big guy" mortar and artillery shells appeared behind Zhu Douchen. They crawled forward in front of Zhu Douchen. The soldier carrying the cannon asked: "Platoon leader.
, which one to hit."
Zhu Douchen pointed to the machine gun flames on the hillside and said, "See, that little bitch won't let me go up, so shoot him away."
After the soldier carrying the gun agreed, he and the soldier carrying the bullet disappeared into the night. Zhu Douchen turned to look at the two people who were walking away, and shouted to the entire platoon, "Give me suppressive fire."
A light machine gun, a heavy machine gun and all submachine guns shoot at the opponent's firepower point together!
Under the fierce shooting, the anti-aircraft machine gun stopped firing. After a slight pause, the anti-aircraft machine gun rained down bullets again. The dense bullets hit the ground with shallow sparks.
There was a soldier who was lying down, and his butt was scratched with two grooves by the bullets fired. Another soldier was hit in the shoulder by a bullet, and he stood up, and then a machine gun bullet hit him in the chest.
, the soldier fell to the ground without saying a word.
The firepower of the second row weakened again for a while. At this moment, a flame more than two meters long spurted out from not far away, and then a loud "boom" was heard on the hillside. I saw that it was hidden in the stone.
A shattered machine gun flew out of the cave behind, followed by human screams.
Zhu Douchen seized this opportunity and rushed to the cave entrance with the entire platoon of soldiers roaring.
The night gradually dissipated, and the traces of shells blasted on the hilltop became more and more obvious. Under the dim light, the craters that were almost connected were picked out one by one. Only a few small pieces of land that were not covered by shells remained.
There is a scorched black color, which maintains the original appearance of the ground.
Kong Qingfang was the first to rush to the entrance of the cave. As soon as he stopped, he rashly stretched his head to get in. Cao Nan, the fourth squad leader who caught up from behind, grabbed him and waved his hand to signal not to go in yet.
.
"Everyone, come out!" Cao Nan shouted inside in Japanese.
As soon as he finished speaking, a string of submachine gun bullets shot out from inside. Kong Qingfang stuck out his tongue and broke into a cold sweat. He glanced at Cao Nan gratefully and thought to himself, oh my god, if the squad leader hadn't stopped him, he would have been killed by this moment.
He has become a living target for a long time!
Without saying a word, Cao Nan took off a long wooden handle grenade from his body, unscrewed the cover, pulled the ring and threw it in!
