The Japanese squadron leader raised his saber high and roared to the sky: "Tao Ci Gai..."
Upon hearing the order from the Japanese squadron, the Japanese infantrymen who had been squatting or lying on the ground to shoot stood up one after another, holding bright bayonets, and rushed towards the forward position of the 1st Battalion of the 799th Regiment. Vick, who was responsible for guiding the cover, The Sri Lankan chariot also turned its horsepower to the maximum, firing violently while guiding the infantry to rush forward.
The Sichuan troops in the opposite position were suppressed by the firepower of the tanks and could not even raise their heads, let alone counterattack with firepower.
Under the firepower of the Vickers tank's two truck-mounted heavy machine guns, nearly two hundred Japanese soldiers from the Onigashima Squadron easily rushed to the Sichuan Army's position. When the distance was still about fifty meters away, they rushed in at the end. About a small group of Japs in front threw a row of grenades, and then began the final sprint.
A moment later, more than fifty smoking melon grenades fell into the trenches of the 1st Battalion of the 799th Regiment.
At this time, Leng Tiefeng let the bomb shelter dug by the Sichuan Army come into play. The nearby Sichuan Army veterans stretched out their feet and kicked the smoking grenades into the bomb shelter. In the next moment, more than fifty grenades were fired. It rolled into a bomb shelter more than half a meter deep, and then exploded. The entire camp was completely enveloped in thick smoke.
The big explosion of this row of grenades did not actually cause much damage.
The grenade kills mainly through fragments. However, after falling into the bomb shelter, the fragments produced by the explosion of the grenade were absorbed by the earth walls on both sides. The Sichuan troops hiding in the trench were only affected by the air wave generated by the explosion. That's all it affected, and the hot sand produced by the explosion scalded some Sichuan troops, and that's all.
This is the role of bomb crater avoidance. A small facility that can be easily dug can save lives at critical moments.
However, the little devils fifty meters away did not know that the Sichuan Army veterans hiding in the trenches had suffered fatal injuries. Then one by one they screamed excitedly, and their steps became faster and faster, almost It rushed up like a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye it was already within thirty meters!
Thirty meters away, the Chinese and Japanese officers and soldiers could even see each other's five tubes clearly!
The veterans of the Sichuan Army can clearly see the ferocious face of the Japanese, and the Japanese can also see the hateful eyes of the veterans of the Sichuan Army!
Under normal circumstances, the veterans of the Sichuan Army who were guarding the position should have counterattacked and fought with the Japanese with bayonets, but.
"Quickly withdraw, withdraw!" the Sichuan Army company commander gave the order, and more than a hundred Sichuan Army veterans quickly dispersed to both sides, scrambling to enter the communication trenches on both sides, and evacuated to the second main trench, which was about 30 meters away from the second main trench. The first trench was less than fifty meters long. While the first company was retreating, nearly 300 Sichuan Army veterans from the second and third companies had come up silently and were lurking in the trench.
Nearly three hundred Sichuan Army veterans came up with two imitation Czech light machine guns, plus four crooked handles. Following Leng Tiefeng's order, Zhao Baishi gathered almost all the light machine guns in the entire battalion. For nothing else, it was just to cooperate with the flanking firepower of positions 1 and 2 and give the little Japanese a big surprise.
The Japanese came like a storm, but what greeted them was an empty main trench.
"Baga, the Chinese have escaped!" Captain Onigashima, who was leading the team, raised his saber again without thinking, "Chase, continue to pursue, kill all the Chinese, kill all the Chinese..."
At this time, Onigashima didn't know that he had been targeted by the Chinese snipers on the opposite side!
A hundred meters away, Leng Tiefeng coldly pulled the trigger of the Mauser 98k sniper rifle.
The next moment, a blood flower suddenly bloomed on the left forehead of Captain Onigashima.
Then, the right half of Captain Onigashima's skull was completely opened. The broken bone fragments, brain tissue, and bright red blood instantly transformed into a dazzling blood flower, gushing violently in a radial shape. And then, the poor Lieutenant Onigashima, with only half of his head left, fell straight back.
Then, side fire from positions No. 1 and 2 on both sides of the position also opened fire.
Then, more than two hundred Sichuan Army veterans hiding in the second main trench stood up and opened fire violently, including two imitation Czech and four crooked light machine guns.
Four heavy machine guns, six light machine guns and more than 200 rifles fired fiercely at the same time from three different angles, instantly forming a fire net with no blind spots. The unsuspecting Japanese were like being cut. Pieces fell like wheat, and in just a moment, the entire infantry team in front fell into a pool of blood!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Japanese turned around and tried to retreat, but it was too late!
The huge fire net extended over and quickly enveloped the following Japanese brigade. Even the Vickers tank responsible for guiding and covering was no exception. Countless bullets hit the steel armor of the tank and bounced off one after another, issuing out There was a clanking sound, and the Japanese chariot was a little confused when faced with such sudden and rapid firepower.
After more than ten seconds, the Japanese tanks finally calmed down and began to fire counterattacks.
But at this time, there were not many Japanese soldiers left standing. The more than 180 Japanese soldiers who attacked were basically knocked to the ground in just a moment. War is so cruel, no matter how well-equipped it is. , no matter how well trained you are, as long as you fall into the opponent's trap, you will be wiped out in the blink of an eye!
Seeing this scene, Zhao Baishi ignored the pain in his butt and rushed out of the shelter, waving his pistol and shouting loudly: "Blow up that iron bastard for me, blow up that iron bastard for me!"
Even though there were several Sichuan Army veterans, they rushed forward with bundles of grenades.
The heavy machine gun mounted on the Vickers tank desperately intercepted, and the Japanese infantry who were lucky enough to survive also fired desperately, trying to prevent the Sichuan army blasters from approaching the tank, but all this was in vain. Tanks or tanks without infantry protection, They were just heavy iron coffins. They had no choice but to be beaten passively.
In the blink of an eye, one of the Sichuan Army veterans rushed to the Vickers tank, then pulled the fuse and stuffed the smoking cluster grenades through the lookout hole. However, as soon as the Sichuan Army veteran turned around, the bundle of grenades exploded. Pushed out by the Japanese soldiers in the tank, the Sichuan Army veteran quickly picked up the cluster grenade and stuffed it back into the tank.
This time the grenade exploded as soon as it was inserted. The air waves generated by the simultaneous explosion of six grenades instantly lifted the Vickers tank made of thin iron sheet from the top. The Sichuan Army veteran was also affected by the air wave and was hit. He fainted, and the three Japanese soldiers hiding in the chariot lost consciousness in an instant.
Seeing the little devil's tank being blown up, Zhao Baishi immediately looked up to the sky and laughed.
You little devils like a dog, if you don’t have a chariot, let’s see what else you can do to play with me!
(Dividing line)
A thousand meters ahead, Yoshimoto Seiichi's facial muscles began to twitch violently.
Flank fire? It was actually side fire? ! The damn Chinese actually built flanking firepower on the mountains on both sides of the main position. Onigashima Squadron was unaware of it, and ended up falling headlong into the Chinese trap. It is no exaggeration to say that this is completely Yoshimoto Sadichi. It was a command error. If it hadn't been for him, Onigashima Squadron would not have been collectively shattered!
Now, not only was the Onigashima Squadron collectively shattered, but even the only Vickers tank was destroyed!
"Baga Yaru!" Yoshimoto Zhenyi said a Japanese curse from between his teeth and took two more steps forward.
The orderly immediately rushed forward, blocked Yoshimoto Seiichi with his body, and then said with concern: "Chief of Staff, be careful of Chinese snipers!"
Yoshimoto Sadai groaned, but did not push the orderly away after all.
The marksmanship of the Chinese sniper opposite is really no joke. Although his current position is thousands of meters away from the Chinese position opposite, for a high-level sniper, this distance cannot guarantee safety. , and there is still the possibility of being sniped.
"Order!" Yoshimoto Teiichi, of course, could not give up so easily. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Second Infantry Battalion will detour from the left, and the Third Infantry Battalion will outflank the right. Tell Toda and Kagawa that I only give them half an hour. , within half an hour, we must capture the two high points on both sides of the road!"
Yoshimoto Teiichi was not stupid enough. He had already discovered that it was impossible to break through the Sichuan Army's defense line before eliminating the two side fire points on both sides of the road. In order to launch firepower, the two hilltops must be captured first, because the Sichuan army's side firepower is built on the reverse slope of the mountain, effectively avoiding artillery strikes.
If the weather is sunny, the aviation force can still be dispatched for bombing, but now it is raining continuously and the visibility is very low. In this kind of weather, the risk of dispatching the aviation force for low-altitude bombing is too high! After all, the area near Jiujiang is not a flat plain, but a large number of hills.
Therefore, there is only one way left in front of the Japanese army, and that is to attack in a roundabout way!
Soon, two infantry brigades separated from the Japanese army, left the road, followed the path on the field ridge, and quickly disappeared into the dense jungle on both sides of the road.
I don't know why, but seeing the two brigades of Japanese infantry disappearing into the jungle on both sides of the road, Yoshimoto Sadao suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. Was his choice really the right one? You need to know whether there are Wolf Fangs on the opposite side to help fight. In the jungle terrain, the threat of Wolf Fangs will increase exponentially. Can the Toda Brigade and the Kagawa Brigade be able to do it
In the distance, Leng Tiefeng in the shelter saw this scene, and a ferocious sneer burst out from the corner of his mouth.
Very good, the little devil finally followed his expectation and started to attack in a roundabout way. However, if the little devil wants to capture the hills on both sides first, I am afraid it will be very difficult, because the mountain leopard, Han Feng, and the Siberian Tiger soldiers Divided into two groups, they were waiting for them in the jungle halfway, and he, Leng Tiefeng, would also join this hunting operation.
