Chapter 61 The Gift
The shooting of the first battalion of soldiers ushered in the crazy fire suppression of the Japanese. A heavy machine gun squad of the Japanese was transferred, and the light machine gun grenade launchers of the Japanese squadrons opened fire together, making the soldiers unable to raise their heads.
"Damn it! Take the Japanese grenade launcher and heavy machine gun for me to destroy the Japanese firepower points!" Zhang Dabiao shouted loudly.
The warriors in the first battalion had better shooting skills began to exert force, and one fatal bullet flew out of the gun chamber, pierced through the Japanese head, killed them, or passed through them, successfully damaging the enemy. The 38 rifle's penetration is strong enough, but its lethality is weaker. Unless it hits the Japanese's fatal position, it will be difficult to kill the Japanese.
"Bang"
Zhang Dabiao shot the Japanese man who controlled the heavy machine gun, penetrated the Japanese helmet, and his brain splashed everywhere. But even so, the Japanese man's heavy machine gun could only stop for less than ten seconds, and the Japanese man took over the heavy machine gunner's position again.
The bullets attacked Zhang Dabiao's position, firmly suppressing Zhang Dabiao and unable to continue shooting easily. The Japanese's gunshot technique was very accurate. The soldiers of the first battalion would be hit by the Japanese from time to time, either dead or injured.
Looking at the soldiers of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao felt a little distressed. He had just fought with the Japanese in these two squadrons, and nearly fifty casualties were killed or killed. If he continued to fight, he would not know how many casualties would be for the first battalion, but Zhang Dabiao knew that this was a war and casualties were inevitable.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were still rushing forward, the Japanese soldiers who had been strictly trained in Japan were quite skillful in tactical movements, and the first battalion did not achieve much results.
"Battery Commander, a small group of Japanese soldiers came around from the west." A soldier came to Zhang Dabiao and reported anxiously.
Zhang Dabiao's expression changed, and the Japanese were indeed cunning. "Order the third company to block the Japanese attack, so that brothers should not think about saving bullets!"
The warrior left in a hurry, and there was a cold light flashing in Zhang Dabiao's eyes. He knew that the Japanese were very cunning and deliberately left behind the battle that the Third Company did not join. Now that the Third Company was also in use, he saw that the Japanese rushed to a position less than 100 meters away from the position, Zhang Dabiao's expression became colder.
"Machine gunners are ready! Let the Japanese taste the firepower of our first battalion!" Zhang Dabiao issued an order.
The machine gunners, who had been a little impatient, got up from the trenches and quickly set up the machine guns. With Zhang Dabiao's order, the machine guns concentrated in the first battalion formed a deadly firepower net. The Japanese who had not yet rushed into the first battalion's position were knocked down by the light machine gun like wheat.
Faced with the powerful firepower that was suddenly exposed by the first battalion, the Japanese squadron leader looked ugly, and he was a little unwilling to give a retreat order. With the Japanese's troops, they could rush to the position of the first battalion, but if they wanted to pass through such a firepower net, they didn't know how much it would cost.
The Japanese are unwilling to pay too much, and here they will cause too much casualties, which will affect the subsequent battle. Moreover, the Japanese also have a good solution to the firepower of a battalion, which is to call for artillery fire support.
Seeing the Japanese retreat, Zhang Dabiao directly ordered the soldiers of the first battalion to retreat. Without thinking, he knew what the Japanese would do next. It was no longer necessary to stay here to guard. Besides, Zhang Dabiao also prepared a gift for the Japanese.
"Arranging thunders, moving in a hidden way, fighting the Japanese in the mountains and forests, is our home court." Zhang Dabiao issued an order.
The soldiers of the first battalion were prepared and helped the injured soldiers away. As for the dead soldiers, they had no choice but to take care of them. Within five minutes of the Japanese retreat, the overwhelming artillery fire attacked the positions of the first battalion.
However, when the Japanese artillery fire fell, the first battalion of soldiers had already withdrawn from their positions and were retreating into the forests of Donggou Mountain. There were many mines and traps there, which were supposed to be enough for the Japanese to drink a pot. Even if the Japanese were carrying out covered artillery bombardment, they still had a lot of retention, which would cause a lot of trouble to the Japanese.
After withdrawing from the position, Zhang Dabiao looked at the location of the original position with some anticipation. There was a big gift he prepared for the Japanese, but I wonder if the Japanese would like it. Seeing that the Japanese artillery fire continued to bombard the Japanese for ten minutes and had not stopped yet, Zhang Dabiao cursed inwardly, saying that the Japanese were really investing a lot.
When he came to the mountains and forests, in a short time, the first battalion had already counted its own casualties. Just the first wave of the Japanese attacks, it brought more than 30 deaths, more than 40 injuries to the first battalion, and 200 more soldiers with combat effectiveness.
In the battle of position, it was still a bit too disadvantageous, and the Japanese's firepower was too fierce.
Zhang Dabiao could only hope that in the next battle, Liu Gen's artillery company could quickly find the location of the Japanese artillery, damage it severely, and even destroy it. Only when such a new regiment was fighting the Japanese would there be fewer casualties.
At this time, in the artillery company, Liu Gen was constantly estimating the specific location of the Japanese artillery position. The Japanese had artillery bombarded before, but the time was a little short, making it impossible for him to determine the location of the Japanese artillery position. But now, the ten-minute artillery fire coverage has already let Liu Gen know the location of the Japanese artillery position.
In order to avoid mistakes, there was already a platoon of soldiers set out. They needed to determine whether the location of the Japanese artillery position was exactly the same as Liu Gen's estimate. The artillery company was too important for the new regiment and could not make any mistakes.
The Japanese bombarded for fifteen minutes before the artillery fire. Ten minutes later, the Japanese successfully occupied the original position of the first battalion. But even so, the purpose of the first battalion delaying the Japanese advance was achieved. They delayed the Japanese for an hour and a half. The battle in the mountains and forests would waste more time.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"
In the original position of the first battalion, some Japanese accidentally triggered the thunder left by the soldiers, and several Japanese died. The sudden explosion made the Japanese who rushed to the position become cautious and dare not touch the corpses of the soldiers. They dare not bet on whether there are any thunders under the corpses of the soldiers.
More and more Japanese appeared on the positions of the first battalion, in the forest, Zhang Dabiao had already let the mortar aim at a certain position on the top of the mountain, where there was a surprise he prepared for the Japanese.
The shells flew out of the cannon chamber and landed in a small corner of the position. In an instant, a flame rose in the position and spread rapidly. This was the big gift that Zhang Dabiao prepared for the Japanese. When the first battalion evacuated, it left several boxes of gasoline specially brought, and there were still a lot of wooden boards and branches piled up in the position.
With the help of gasoline, the wooden boards and branches accumulated in the position burned quickly. Although they did not cause too much damage to the Japanese, they would cause considerable trouble to the Japanese, making them unable to pass quickly and even more unable to use the positions left by the first battalion to fight.
