Chapter 90 Victory in the first battle
The first battle won
Without the threat of Japanese heavy machine guns, eight heavy machine guns in the four castles directly placed the catharsis target on the Japanese infantry, who had only more than 300 people left...
The power generated by firing ten heavy machine guns, five light machine guns, and nearly a hundred rifles together was definitely not something that the Japanese infantrymen could bear. In less than a minute, more than three hundred Japanese soldiers were sharply reduced to one squadron.
Fortunately, at this time, the Japanese artillery troops that had successfully transferred their positions opened fire again.
Perhaps it is clear that the several machine gun castles on the ** regiment's position cannot be destroyed by several mortars. This shelling, except for a few heavy mortars, it was not the case that the remaining shells fell into a trench that was several hundred meters long.
As for the remaining ten heavy machine guns in the two heavy machine gun squadrons, without exception, they all gave up the machine gun bunker that they could not suppress at all, and shot the densely packed bullets directly into the trenches...
"Ah.....hidden.....Dog Japanese, I'm fighting with you..."
The Japanese army suddenly changed its target, and the pressure of the series increased several times in an instant. In less than ten seconds, at least one platoon of soldiers died in the trenches for various reasons...
“Secret…Secret….”
Listening to the screams of his subordinates around him, the whirring sound of bullets passing through the air, and the explosion of shells. Even Xie Guoqing, who was already mentally prepared, had a pale face because of the heavy casualties in front of him.
Then, he placed his last hope directly in several machine gun castles that were still pouring bullets outward, and ordered with a solemn look on his face...
"Brothers in the trench, immediately hide.... When the Japanese enter, greet them with grenades and submachine guns.... Notify the machine gunners in the castle not to care about the Japanese heavy machine gun positions, concentrate firepower, and eliminate the Japanese offensive troops..."
"Without infantry, no matter how powerful the Japanese artillery fire is, they cannot take our position..." Company commander Xie Guoqing ordered while observing the Japanese who were getting closer and closer in front of him.
"Yes, company commander..."
At the same time, looking at the position of the ** regiment where only a few machine gun castles remained, the Japanese army's initiator of the offensive strategy, Hirayama Nakasa, also had a confident smile on his face.
In his eyes, although several permanent machine gun castles are useful, they will definitely not play an absolute role. Once he eliminates the vitality of the ** team on the position through artillery fire and heavy machine guns, he will not be able to stop the offensive of his troops with just a few castles.
But at this moment, he seemed to have forgotten how his first round of attack failed...
In the first round of attack, the entire army was destroyed without the machine gun castle being exposed. What's more, the three infantry squadrons were left before the three infantry squadrons charged to a hundred meters. What's more important is that the Japanese soldiers of this infantry squadron would be constantly attacked by eight heavy machine guns in the subsequent attack.
More than one hundred Japanese soldiers, under the command of the red-eyed captain, Major Mizutani, charged to the first company's position without fear of death. With the continuous rush of eight heavy machine gun fire tongues, the number of them charging was also decreasing...
Sixty meters...fifty meters...40 meters...
"Brothers, greet me with grenades and beat me hard..." The only eighty Japanese soldiers left showed an excited expression just now, thinking that victory was right in front of them. The company commander Xie Guoqing's loud shout directly shattered their dreams...
More than fifty grenades emitting white smoke flew out of the trenches and landed among the Japanese...
Round after round, after each officer and soldier threw more than four grenades, the entire position had already been shrouded in smoke. As for more than 80 Japanese soldiers, after more than 200 grenades, they had already been blown away to the point of no bones...
"Dog Japanese, I'll make you arrogant..." On the position filled with smoke, looking at the Japanese corpses lying in a pool of blood, Xie Guoqing said with a hatred as if he had a breath of anger.
After the battle ended, after the loss of the first Japanese artillery bombardment, Xie Guoqing did not make the same mistake again. Before the smoke covering the position had completely dispersed, Xie Guoqing's orders reached the ears of all the surviving soldiers in the company...
"Enter the anti-aircraft hole immediately and prepare to welcome the Japanese's artillery bombardment... hurry..."
"Old Ye, immediately count the casualties in the company and gather all the wounded. Once the Japanese bombardment is over, they will be sent to the county hospital for treatment. So many people have died in our company, so there must be no more losses..."
Faced with the losses of a whole infantry brigade, even if Hirayama Nakasa's tolerance is strong, he can't bear it at this moment.
The remaining artillery of the three mortar squadrons directly carried out fifteen minutes of artillery shelling against Hirayama Nakasa. At the same time, facing the loss of more than half of the troops, Hirayama Nakasa was not convinced, but had to send a telegram to the division commander General Fukutan asking for reinforcements...
At the same time, the battle for positions that lasted more than an hour, all fell on the city wall without reservation.
"This company can really fight... Just rely on the strength of one company, you can kill the Japanese infantry brigade... However, judging from the battle just now, the company's losses are not small..."
While feeling moved by the military achievements of the first company, he directly ordered Gao Weidong, the platoon leader of the guard platoon behind him: "Weidong, immediately contact Battalion Wang, the first battalion, to understand the casualties of the troops. At the same time, he notified the baggage company and immediately organized a platoon to fill up all the ammunition urgently needed by the first battalion... In addition, take the wounded back to the county town for treatment... If nothing unexpected happens, in this battle, our ** regiment's field hospital will be full of wounded soldiers... Tell Director Wang to do all his rights to treat the wounded..."
“Yes, the group….”
