Chapter 0269 Life-threatening! Unswerving!
"Collection of all the grenade launchers, and without artillery, we will use grenades to blow up the enemy's positions."
After contacting his heavy artillery troops ineffectively, MCC ordered all troops to collect all grenade launchers and use them as artillery soldiers.
Grenade launchers can be called small mortars. The Tatsuo Ten-Year-One-Nine-Two Grenade launchers can be fired using Type 91 grenades.
Because this battle mainly used heavy artillery to bombard the strong fortifications of the Chinese army. Therefore, the Japanese did not carry many grenade launchers, and the 50mm caliber grenade was not carried with them. They could only use the Type 91 grenade as shells.
Of course, this will greatly reduce the range. In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival and others are on the mountain, with a slope of more than 35 degrees at the maximum, which once again greatly reduces the effective range of the Japanese grenade launcher.
Therefore, the Japanese used a grenade launcher and had to push forward at least fifty meters, that is, at about 100 meters away from the top of the mountain, and fired a Type 91 grenade to the top of the mountain.
The Japanese's abnormal movements immediately aroused the alertness of the Dragon Boat Festival. The Japanese collected grenade launchers from various units and were running to the front position of the Japanese on the hillside.
Moreover, the Japanese were indeed well-trained. Although the offensive troops were repelled by Dragon Boat Festival, they quickly built a defensive position on the hillside. In just a few minutes, they each dug up a defensive position that was more than 50 meters long and 15 meters high. At this time, the Japanese were still digging.
At the same time, the grenade launcher, coupled with a large-scale defensive position, seemed to have thought of something from the Dragon Boat Festival.
Dragon Boat Festival returned and said, "The Japanese may have to launch a large-scale shelling attack on us."
Chen Yong said: "Didn't the Japanese mortars be knocked out by us? Our artillery also suffered many casualties."
Cheng Wanli, who was standing beside him, said: "The Japanese also have grenade launchers. I have seen this thing during the Battle of Shanghai. A well-trained Japanese can hit this grenade launcher more accurately than a mortar."
Chen Yong frowned and said, "What should we do? Our artillery has suffered a lot of casualties, and there may only be two mortars that can be used."
Dragon Boat Festival said: "The distance is one hundred meters, and the Japanese are on the hillside again. This range mortar cannot play its greatest role."
At this time, Cheng Wanli was also worried and said, "What should I do? In addition to us, there are ambushes you have set up in advance behind the mountain? Why don't we rush down like this?"
The Dragon Boat Festival said: "If we rush like this, there will be too many casualties. Our overall strength is not much different from the number of enemies. As long as the Japanese are not in chaos, our chances of victory are only 30%. Even if the 38th Regiment is annihilated and the 44th Division will suffer heavy damage."
Chen Yong and Cheng Wanli said at the same time: "What should we do now?"
Dragon Boat Festival thought for a while and said, "Old Xie must have arrived at this time, right?"
Report to the special commissioner, Deputy Commander Xie called and they had arrived at the reserved location, but it would take at least ten minutes to prepare.
Dragon Boat Festival frowned and ordered: "Call back immediately, I will only give him five minutes."
"yes!"
The correspondent received the order and immediately called back the phone.
Order: Your unit must complete artillery within five minutes. The 44th Division's position is in danger and the special commissioner is in danger. The Japanese army will carry out large-scale artillery bombardment on our position at any time.
As an excellent correspondent soldier, you must be good at understanding the commander's meaning. Otherwise, if the message is sent, the other party cannot correctly understand the commander's intentions and makes a wrong judgment, which is the responsibility of the correspondent soldier. Therefore, he must tell the truth about the position truthfully.
When Xie Jinyuan received the call back, he immediately ordered everyone to speed up. He must launch a shelling attack on the Japanese positions before the Japanese bombardment.
But can the Japanese give them this time?
MCC's patience had long been worn out. The village brigade was completely wiped out, and he was angry. The attack was frustrated and the losses were heavy, making him unable to explain to the brigade commander Sasaki.
He felt that his military career would probably be over. He was even about to have a cesarean section to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor.
Thinking of death, the old Japanese man couldn't help but start to burst out cold sweats as big as beans from the two temples.
He didn't want to die, he didn't want his life to end like this, MCC roared angrily: "Blasting, shelling, why haven't there been shelling?"
"Hi! Carry out shelling right away!"
The Japanese officer quickly responded, because anyone could see that MCC was angry.
The Japanese's speed accelerated, and grenade launchers were sent to the hillside.
Dragon Boat Festival frowned because at this time, the most critical moment had already arrived. The Japanese would not wait for five minutes. So he had to do something.
He shouted loudly: "Brothers, this battle is at stake. I am willing to share life and death with my brothers! Live and die together!"
"Telecommand? You'd better go to the rear? I'll command here."
Chen Yong hurriedly stopped him because if the special commissioner really had any problems, how could he explain to Shangfeng?
What's more, the 44th Division is the supreme commander, and letting the special commissioner command on his behalf is not equivalent to saying that Chen Yong is greedy for life and fear of death?
Chen Yong is as famous as his name. Although he is not smart enough, his courage is commendable. Chen Yong doesn't want to be accused of being greedy for life and fear of death.
At this time, Chen Yong tried his best to stop it, but Dragon Boat Festival roared loudly: "When you are in life and death, if the officer cannot live and die with the soldiers, how can you kill the enemy? How can you talk about courage? How can you serve the country? How can you fight for the nation?
Today, I and my brothers live and die together. Are you willing to obey my orders? Sharing life and death together?"
"well!......"
The soldiers roared loudly and raised their weapons.
The Dragon Boat Festival stepped onto the position and said majestic: "Everyone took out the grenades and threw them down the mountain in two sections.
But the enemy artillery positions are one hundred meters away from us, and even the best grenadiers cannot drop this distance. Then we need to rush to a distance of fifty meters or even closer to the enemy to drop bombs under the enemy's guns and bullets.
Brothers, we may die in this battle. But we will receive unprecedented victory. This glory will always belong to your 44th Division!"
"well!......"
The soldiers roared again with the roar of Dragon Boat Festival. They threw down their guns, and with a determination to die, they pulled out the grenades on their bodies.
At this time, Dragon Boat Festival continued to yell: "Two sets of grenadiers, the first set of grenadiers has the greatest casualties, and it will be a lifetime of death. Who dares to rush down the mountain with me?"
"I! The company commander of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the Third Regiment - Zhao Dachun!"
"I! The platoon leader of the second company of the 1st Battalion of the Third Regiment - Sun Biao!"
"I! The lieutenant of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the Third Regiment - Du Shaokun!"
"I, the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the Third Regiment - Wang Erzhu,..."
"I,...I, and I,..."
············
The soldiers signed up enthusiastically, even if they were truly dead and alive, they still remained unswerving today.
"Okay, brothers! Then let's let the Japanese show see the backbone of our Chinese man. We don't need Bushido, and we are not afraid of death! In this battle, kill all the Japanese with me!"
"good!!"
The roar of Dragon Boat Festival once again caused the gradually rising and the gradually expanding morale to rush to a new high again.
