Chapter 357 Very cool feeling
The French Hatchacas 1930 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine gun has an effective range of more than 2,000 meters. It is easy to shoot targets more than 800 meters away. It can fire 13.2mm bullets as thick as a human finger, and hit the Japanese engineers, and can easily tear their bodies apart. Even if they hit non-critical parts on the human body, they can still cause huge damage.
Originally, under the attack of Gao Jiu's sniper rifle, the heavy casualties were already unbearable for the Japanese. The anti-aircraft machine gun fired at high speed, causing the Japanese engineers to fall in large numbers. They could no longer bear such a blow. They threw away the shovel and pickaxe in their hands, adjusted their butts, and desperately fled to the original path.
These Japanese were panicked and ran back on the road foolishly, but they didn't expect that the bullets of anti-aircraft machine guns could chase them.
The Japanese kept falling down, and no one had time to look back. They just wanted to escape desperately, hoping to run to a safe distance as soon as possible. In this way, the Japanese kept falling down, and only a few people saw that the people running in front of them were shot and fell down, and then they realized that blindly running was not a solution, and began to scatter to the side of the road and find a place to hide. Gao Jiu stopped shooting.
"It's so good, it's so good!" Gao Jiu was so addicted to guns and felt so comfortable.
Qin Feng, Guan Lie and others saw the terrifying scenes of the Japanese corpses falling down on the road, which made them feel a little panicked. Master Jiu is really a god of killing! It is really terrifying. It seems a bit too much to use such powerful weapons to fight those ordinary infantry, but after all, the Japanese were killed, and everyone was very excited.
Guan Lie was itchy when he saw itchy and couldn't help it. He stepped forward and said, "Master Jiu, can I enjoy it?"
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Come on! It's very simple." As he said that, he explained the shooting skills to Guan Lie. Guan Lie controlled the machine gun and began to look for the shooting target.
At this time, there were no Japanese on the nearby highway. Guan Lie pointed the machine gun at the Japanese on the hillside in front.
"Dadadadadadadadada." Guan Lie fired a row of bullets. He had no experience at the beginning and was still a long way from the Japanese. However, as he continued to adjust, he quickly shot the bullets into the group of Japanese soldiers on the hillside.
The Japanese on the hillside were originally just dodging bullets shot from the enemy on the opposite mountain. They could not have imagined that they would shoot bullets from the side from such a long distance. They had no place to dodge, and were knocked down in pieces by anti-aircraft machine gun bullets.
Seeing that the anti-aircraft machine gun was so powerful, Qin Feng and others couldn't help but step forward to enjoy the gun. The Japanese on the two nearby hills were either killed or retreated in a hurry.
The officers and soldiers of the replenishment regiment on the top of the mountain saw the Japanese retreating, and pressed down from the top of the mountain, chased the escaped Japanese with bullets, and then returned to their original positions. The road was once again completely controlled under the guns of the soldiers.
On the road far away, Nagawa Heido held up a telescope and saw this tragic scene. His heart was bleeding, and the huge casualties made him feel unbearable.
After counting the casualties, Nagawa Heidu felt dizzy and disgusted. This attack took about two hours from the beginning to the end. 324 ordinary Japanese infantry were killed and 132 engineers. After this battle, 456 were killed and killed. In addition to the previous losses, the number of casualties brought by Nagawa Heidu has reached 913. After paying such a great price, Nagawa Heidu still cannot see that he has the hope of crossing this mountainous area.
At this moment, Gao Jiu saw several people on the highway 2,400 meters away on the top of the mountain, with cars parked there and Japanese officers inside. It is very likely that they were the supreme commander of the Japanese army.
Gao Jiu walked towards the anti-aircraft machine gun and said to Han Changgeng, who was fiddling with the anti-aircraft machine gun: "Captain Han, please give it up."
Han Changgeng took aside, and Gao Jiu activated the machine gun, aimed carefully at the small ant-like black dot in the distance, and gently pulled the trigger.
"Da da da da da da da da da da da da." A long list of bullets shot out.
The distance of 2400 meters was too far, but the bullets of the anti-aircraft machine gun still flew over. A major staff officer next to Heito Nagawa was shot and fell down, and the car's glass was punched two big holes.
Seeing that the corps captain was attacked, the Japanese in charge of the guards immediately stood in front of him in groups.
Originally, at such a long distance, there were two people standing beside Hirato Nagawa. The target was too small and it was not easy to fight. So many Japanese guards came to protect him all at once. Gao Jiu's anti-aircraft machine gun was just in full swing, and soon three or four Japanese fell down.
This is because the distance is too far. Otherwise, the Japanese's body would not be able to block these bullets. If the distance is a little closer, the bullets could penetrate their bodies and still hit Nagawa Hirado behind them.
Seeing this situation, Nagawa Heidu was also a little scared. He immediately got into the car and retreated out of the mountain. When the Japanese saw the corps leader running, they all rushed out.
After this battle, Gao Jiu had completely gained confidence in the combat effectiveness of the supplementary regiment.
Not long after, he took Jia Liu away from Nanfeng Mountain, but they did not go directly to Yudong County, but drove north.
An hour later, Gao Jiu and others arrived at a fork in the road, where a Gui army troops were already waiting.
Seeing the truck coming and a young Guojun officer got out of the car. A colonel officer from that unit looked at Gao Jiu. Seeing that he was so young, if it weren't for the rank of colonel carried on his shoulder, he really couldn't believe that this was the famous Gao Jiu.
He walked up to the scene and saluted himself, and said, "Liao Gengsheng, the commander of the 338th Regiment of the 113th Division of the 85th Army of Guo Army."
Gao Jiu also replied, "Deputy Director of the Training Command, Gao Jiu."
This unit was the regiment originally used to block Japanese reinforcements in the war zone. Because their original resident was far away from here, they have only arrived here now.
Liao Gengsheng, the commander of the 338th Regiment, was a big man. Of course, this is compared to most Guangxi people. He was about 1.75 meters tall. He was well-known for Gao Jiu's name. Originally, he received an order to assist the 62nd Division in blocking the Japanese reinforcements. Later, he heard that the 62nd Division had already let the Japanese army pass through the big and small Chenzhuang, and the task of blocking the reinforcements was handed over to their regiment. He felt very embarrassed at the time, but he still faithfully carried out the orders of his superiors. Later, he heard that Gao Jiu brought a supplementary regiment to block the Japanese in Nanfeng Mountain. Not to mention Gao Jiu's previous record, he admired this matter.
He said to Gao Jiu: "Sir Gao, I have received an order from the War Zone Command to obey your command and come here to report to you today."
Gao Jiu said, "Captain Liao, it's easy to say. Let's fight the Japanese together and introduce the situation of your group."
Liao Gengsheng introduced the basic situation of the 338th Regiment: The 338th Regiment belongs to the 113th Division of the 85th Army of the Gui Army, with a total of 2,785 people, and is equipped and trained very well. This regiment has been through a long battle formation and is one of the main teams of the Gui Army.
Gao Jiu was preparing to go to Yudong County to urge Wu Tianming and others to attack the Japanese army's subsequent reinforcements. Originally, he was just a commander alone to go to the 62nd Division, and he needed to rely entirely on Wu Tianming and others to fight. Now that the regiment of the Gui Army was directly under his command, he was even more confident.
The two of them talked briefly for a few words, and then led their troops along the west road of Nanfeng Mountain toward Yudong County.
Dongping Town is located 18 kilometers northwest of Da and Xiao Chenzhuang, where Gao Jiu and others made a short stop.
Gao Jiu took the combat map and said to Liao Gengsheng: "The next battlefield is divided into two parts. The area north of Xiao Chenzhuang to Nanfeng Mountain is the second battlefield. The area north of Xiao Chenzhuang is the big and Xiao Chenzhuang will soon be re-occupied by the 62nd Division. The reinforcements of the Japanese Third Division are in this area. The Xinfeng River Valley is east of this area, and the Japanese army has no way to retreat. Nanfeng Mountain and Xiao Chenzhuang are controlled by our army, and the Japanese army can only go west and go deep into the hinterland of our army. If the Japanese army choose to break through west, Dongping Town is their only way.
The Japanese broke through the west and went deep into the hinterland of our army, which was seeking death. However, in order to avoid them occupying the villages and towns in this area and damaging the lives and property of the people, I need your regiment to leave some of their troops to build fortifications here and block the enemy's way to break through the west."
Liao Gengsheng felt a little confused. He said, "Captain Gao, this area is full of plains, and we are the only regiment, so it is difficult to stop the Japanese from breaking through."
Gao Jiu said: "It's not necessary for you to block the Japanese from breaking through. You just need to leave a battalion here."
Liao Gengsheng felt even more confused. At this moment, he even doubted whether Gao Jiu had military knowledge?
He said: "Sir Gao, let me be honest, our entire regiment is here, and it may not be possible to stop the Japanese from breaking through with all their strength. Leaving only one battalion will not only not stop the Japanese from breaking through with them, but will also destroy this battalion in the hands of the Japanese."
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Captain Liao, you will know if you look at the terrain carefully."
At this time, it was just noon, and the weather had already cleared up, with bright sunshine, blue sky and white clouds, and his vision was extremely good. He could see at least a few kilometers away in front of him without a telescope, all of which were flat fields. He was even more confused and said, "Sir Gao, what can this mean?"
Gao Jiu said: "If all the fields in front are filled with water, and then a trench is dug in front of Dongping Town, and all are filled with water, in this case, can one of your battalions guard here?"
Liao Gengsheng's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Yes! It's muddy here by then. Not to mention the Japanese cannon vehicles and the baggage troops, even the Japanese infantry will be unable to move. A battalion troops can completely block their way."
Speaking of this, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "But how can we fill all the place with water? There is also digging a few kilometers long trench, so how can a battalion of troops be able to do it? We don't have enough digging tools."
Gao Jiu pointed to a small river not far away and said, "I will talk about the issue of water release first. Just put a few pumps on it, and then send someone to dig the fields in front so that the water can flow. It won't take long to fill these fields with water. Don't worry about the pump problem, I will send someone to you soon.
As for digging trenches, you don’t need your people to do it. There are some people in Dongping Town. Isn’t it enough to let them dig them?"
Liao Gengsheng said: "This is a solution. However, this is not our territory in Guangxi. We are a guest army. Forcing the civilians to dig trenches here will cause trouble. And the fields of these people will be filled with water, and the people may not agree."
Gao Jiu took out a 10,000-ocean bill from his arms and handed it to Liao Gengsheng, saying, "You can take this money, can you solve any problem?"
Liao Gengsheng smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. Chief Gao still has a way. I can guarantee you now. The Japanese will never break out of our regiment's position."
Gao Jiu said, "That's good. Let's have lunch in Dongping Town, and then you leave a battalion troops and leave them more weapons and ammunition.
Don't worry, I'll replenish these weapons and ammunition for you."
So far, Liao Gengsheng's first feeling about Gao Jiu is that Gao Jiu is generous and generous, and he feels very comfortable and happy to do things with him.
After lunch, Liao Gengsheng left a battalion of troops and led other troops to Yudong County with Gao Jiu.
County in eastern Henan, the 62nd Division headquarters.
Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue have made up their minds to first attack the second batch of reinforcements of the Japanese army, which is a strengthening corps of the 106th Division of the Japanese army, according to the combat plan formulated by Gao Jiu.
Although they had confidence in Gao, with the strength of their division, they still felt a little uneasy in their hearts to eat a reinforced regiment of the Japanese in a short period of time. Seeing Gao Jiu bringing a regiment of the Gui army to carry out this combat mission together, I felt that I had a little more confidence.
Accompanied by Chu Tianxiong, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue held a banquet to entertain Gao Jiu and Liao Gengsheng, and then came to the war room together.
At this time, Wu Tianming and others had received an order from the theater command conveyed by the 29th Army to accept Gao Jiu's unified command.
