Chapter 384 The Battle of Jiangyin has begun in full swing!
Hand-to-hand combat was almost eliminated in the middle and late stages of World War II, and only on the battlefield in China, this fierce battle of cold weapons is still ongoing.
The reason is that China's weapons are not as good as the Japanese army. If the Chinese army had a submachine gun, they would probably not need to fight with the Japanese army in hand.
In the battlefield of World War II, the Japanese had no choice but to fight hand-to-hand with the Chinese.
Of course, it is not that the Japanese are brave and fearless, but that the Japanese have absolute confidence in their thorn-fighting skills.
Thinking back then, even the three old Red Army soldiers might not be able to fight for a Japanese devil. So this shows how powerful the Japanese's thorn fighting skills were at that time.
Fortunately, Dragon Boat Festival used absolute troops to crush the opponent, and the three battalions could not defeat 300 Japanese soldiers.
Of course, the first brigade of the 116th Japanese Army Corps did not have only more than 300 people at the beginning, but had more than 1,000 people.
At least half of the survivors were killed after the raid, and nearly half of the survivors were lost under the sneak attack of the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the 671st Regiment. Therefore, at this time, there were still more than 300 people, including the Japanese wounded soldiers.
The three battalions of the 671st Regiment attacked the Japanese from three directions, but it would take at least half an hour to achieve complete victory.
But at the same time, the reinforcements of the 116th Japanese Army Regiment arrived, and they were rushing to the top of the mountain along the scheduled route. Moreover, the explosion just happened even more anxious.
The commander of the regiment, Xiao Nanchuan, personally led the Second Battalion to climb to the 671st Regiment position on the mountain panting, but at this moment, Commander Huo led the 667th Regiment, the two battalions of the 668th Regiment, plus the division officer platoon, and the guard company smashed the grenades, which stunned the Japanese in the 116th Regiment.
The Japanese always thought that their people were fighting fiercely with the Northeast Army, and that their people should be close to the edge of the position.
But they never expected that what awaited them was the enemy's grenade.
The huge explosion not only killed the Japanese vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard's vanguard'
In the first squadron of the Second Japanese Battalion, at least two squadrons of the Japanese were killed in the explosion. The other two infantry squadrons of the First Squadron were affected. After the explosion, some of their minds were shocked and their minds were blank, while others were lying on the ground with their heads in their arms.
The Japanese squadron leader shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, prepare for battle."
But at this moment, before the Japanese could report it, various weapons on the position started to ring.
At this time, the bullets were like locusts, whizzing through the rolling smoke under the slightly white sky.
The Japanese could hardly see anything in the smoke and dust. Because the sky was just slightly white at this time, and with the smoke and dust, it would be strange if they could see it.
So the Japanese vanguard troops did not even see his enemies, and were penetrated by bullets and rolled down from the position like dumplings.
Seeing this, the captain of the corps, Xiao Nanchuan, ordered the second squadron of the Second Battalion to build a temporary defensive position. He also ordered the artillery to fire at the positions of the Jiangyin Fortress.
Although he heard the roars of the devils coming from the top of the mountain, such as long live the Japanese Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor, etc.
So Xiao Nanchuan didn't have to think that he could not save the imperial army on the top of the mountain.
So he ordered the artillery to fire immediately and carry out carpet bombing of the enemy positions on the top of the mountain, even if they were killed by their own people, they would do whatever they could.
But at this moment, the Chinese large-caliber artillery of the Eshan Fort had already locked the Japanese artillery positions.
The Dragon Boat Festival had Lao Nu and others investigated before. And there was Liu Dadao's complaint, so the artillery position of the 116th Regiment had already known its exact location.
The Japanese artillery positions were behind a forest. Most of the 70mm caliber mountain cannons were used.
This mountain cannon has a very high elevation angle, which is suitable for hiding behind the woods for sneak attacks.
But the Japanese didn't know that there were four domestic 250mm Krupp howitzers on the Eshan Fort. The maximum range of this gun can reach four kilometers, and the ballistics are also arc-shaped.
Four 250mm large caliber howitzers were ready to go. Under the order of the artillery company commander, they opened fire at the Japanese artillery positions with all their might.
The Japanese artillery had just received the order to fire the artillery, and all the artillery soldiers were ready, and only the only ones were pushed into the mountain cannon.
But at this moment, huge whistling sounds followed one after another, and the jungle canopy rustled.
The Japanese artillery widened their eyes for some reason, and at this moment, a huge fire suddenly ignited on a tree trunk, and the terrifying explosion sounded pierced the ear drums of each Japanese artillery.
Only then did they know what was going on, and the enemy launched artillery attacks.
The Japanese artillery captain shouted loudly: "Release quickly, load."
But at this moment, after the explosion, a big tree that was thick was blown up in the waist. The crown and shattered branches shot towards the Japanese artillery like sharp arrows.
The speed was too fast, and the Japanese had not dodged yet, and the sharp branches had already pierced the Japanese's body.
The huge tree canopy even came across the sky, smashing the Japanese's two mountain cannons and five Japanese under the tree.
The scene was in a mess, and the Japanese artillery soldiers seemed very panicked.
Boom!
Another huge explosion followed one after another. This time, a 250mm shell successfully passed through the tree canopy and landed on the Japanese artillery position.
The huge explosion flew directly into two Japanese mountain cannons and seven Japanese.
The Japanese screamed and flew until they were twelve or three meters before falling out of the air.
When the other Japanese saw this scene, they could only regret that their parents had fewer legs and didn't run fast enough.
It was a big fuck at this time because it was obvious that their artillery positions were exposed. Moreover, the caliber of the opponent's gun was so large that it was simply incredible. They felt that this was at least a howitzer with a caliber of 200 mm.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The artillery captain ordered the retreat and the first one ran away first. The rest of the Japanese artillery fled in a panic.
At the same time, artillery shells fell one after another, and all twenty-four mountain cannons of various types in the Japanese artillery positions were destroyed.
And thanks to the Japanese artillery running fast, they would have to die here with more than 300 artillery brigades.
"Go and tell the team leader that we have been fooled and the enemy is ready. Baga, is the 53rd team going to kill us?"
The Japanese artillery captain was so angry that he cried because what was the agreed surprise attack? Why did it turn into an enemy attack on them? This is obviously a trap?
Of course, he was frustrated everywhere, so why didn't the captain of Konanchuan's regiment know that they were fooled? He scolded Kitano Sanyuroro for being a stupid pig, and he would lose rice if he could not steal chickens. He would forget that he was stupid and would have to take his 116 regiment to be buried with him.
If he attacked according to the original plan, his 116th Regiment would not have suffered such a big loss?
A large brigade of imperial troops went up, and his voice became smaller and smaller. He felt that he could imagine how desperate his first brigade would be.
Konankawa became more and more angry as he thought about it. He was planning to change his tactics. Under the cover of the artillery, his troops divided into two groups to fight on the 671st Regiment's position, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the huge sound of breaking through the air flew over his head and his artillery position exploded and caught fire one after another.
Thinking of him at this time, he knew that his artillery position had probably been discovered by the enemy.
"Bagaya Road, Kitano Thiryuroro I want to kill you, Baga!"
Konankawa was so angry that all plans were set by Kitano Sanorororo before the attack, but the 116th Regiment suffered such huge casualties. Even his artillery brigade was severely damaged.
"Go and notify the Third Battalion, and detour from the west side of the 671st Regiment. The 671st Regiment only has three battalions of troops. I don't believe that there will be so many people blocking our Great Japanese Imperial Army.
In addition, we ordered the baggage brigade and the corps command department to come up to me. If we cannot take the position of the 671st Regiment today, then the first brigade will be in vain. Do you understand?"
"Hi!"
Xiao Nanchuan's messenger will not mention the order. However, in the 672nd Regiment defense zone, a positional offensive and defensive battle also began.
After the 116th Regiment and the 671st Regiment were exchanged, Kitano Miyuroro ordered the 53rd Regiment of the Japanese Army to launch a fierce attack on the 672nd Regiment's position.
The enemy was divided into three directions: east, southeast and northeast, and northeast, and attacked the 672nd Regiment. The regiment commander Wan Yi originally planned to call only one battalion of troops to block the Japanese army according to the Dragon Boat Festival order. However, he did not expect that the Japanese army would make a desperate bet this time, with at least 1,500 people divided into three positions to attack.
Wan Yi urgently transferred the second battalion and the third battalion to support and stabilize the situation.
But I didn't expect that Kitano Sanorororo was very cunning. After relocating all the officers and soldiers of the 672nd Regiment, he used the advantage of artillery fire to bombard the 672nd Regiment's position.
