Chapter 1034: How can I survive if I want face?
Under the strict orders of Yota Ito, the two lines of Japanese infantry responsible for attacking the highlands were really desperate.
The Japanese 92mm infantry gun and several heavy machine guns that were moved up the hillside were also very capable of providing fire cover.
However, in this kind of mountain warfare, mortars definitely play the leading role.
Although there is only one 82 mortar in the second company and one platoon, due to terrain reasons, that mortar is located at the angle between a rock layer on the top of the mountain. Two huge rocks just cover the entire mortar squad.
Not to mention that the Japanese infantry artillery could not easily detect the existence of the mortar. Even if it was discovered, the power of the 70-caliber infantry artillery would not be able to do anything with the two rocks that are several meters thick.
However, the mortar can ignore the barrier in front of it and use the principle of the mortar's large curve to attack the infantry artillery 800 meters away and the Japanese heavy machine gun fire points observed by the observer through the telescope.
This mortar turned out to be the Achilles heel of the 500 Japanese army. Not only did two consecutive shells fall around the infantry cannon, it frightened the infantry artillery team and ran away dragging the infantry cannon. It also took three seconds in ten seconds to The rapid fire directly blew up a Japanese heavy machine gun.
Seeing this situation, the remaining heavy machine gun squads of the Japanese army evacuated from their original positions one after another.
This is the wisest choice. Even Yin Teng Youta, who is eager to attack, will not be too harsh on this. These remaining heavy firepower are his last hope. If even these are gone, the infantry will have no more birds. It is nothing more than a living target for Chinese continuous-fire firearms.
When the heavy machine guns, the most important supporting firepower of the Japanese army, stopped firing, a row of infantrymen on the high ground no longer just threw grenades, but also took out rifles from the cracks in the rocks and specially made shooting holes with sandbags. , submachine guns, and light machine guns, shooting at the leading Japanese troops who were already in mourning halfway up the mountain.
Although there are only 18 people shooting down from the top of this mountain, which is only half the strength of an infantry squad for the Japanese army, but with the current equipment of a platoon, the firepower of these 18 people is enough to compete with the United States in the future Pacific battlefield. The Cowboys are comparable to an infantry squad.
As for how ferocious the firepower of American cowboys is, just look at Saipan, known as the **** battlefield.
An infantry battalion of the American Cowboys once faced an onboard charge of thousands of Japanese troops on the battlefield. The strength ratio was no less than ten to one. Moreover, because it was night, the rear naval guns were afraid of accidentally damaging their own side, so they did not dare to participate in the battle.
But the result was that after a whole night of fierce fighting, more than 3,800 Japanese soldiers were shot and killed in the area 50 to 200 meters in front of the infantry battalion trench. All masterpieces of machine guns, semi-automatic rifles, and submachine guns.
That is a number that can definitely make any infantry commander's hair stand on end.
It can be said that when continuous-fire weapons are widely equipped in the army and there is no sufficient artillery preparation, intensive charge is stupid suicide.
After the Japanese troops on the high ground lost their own heavy machine gun fire cover, there was no other cover on the hillside except shrubs and a few stones that could give the Japanese troops the illusion of concealment.
The bushes may block your gaze, but they cannot stop a bullet.
Semi-automatic rifles may still shoot at targets in a hunting style, but submachine guns and Czech light machine guns shoot at all areas where people may be hiding.
These two suppressive firearms rely on quantity rather than quality. The relatively sufficient ammunition determines that the continuous firepower of these fire points can last for more than ten minutes.
Many Japanese infantrymen who were crawling forward were silent and died like marmots in the bushes where they lay prone.
After the Chinese mortar, which was almost impossible to be attacked, knocked over the Japanese infantry artillery and heavy machine guns on its own, it turned around and aimed at the target 300 meters down the mountain, hiding behind various rocks in an attempt to attack our own side. Provide support firepower for Japanese light machine guns and grenade launchers.
In addition to the fact that practice makes perfect, firing a cannon also requires feeling. Today, the sergeant gunner of the second company may have been 'scared' by the sudden large-scale appearance of the Japanese army, or he may simply feel good that the bigger the gun is, the more accurate it is.
Unless the Japanese firepower point is moved after firing a few shots, the precise mortars will fly behind the rocks or at a distance of no more than five meters at most, destroying the firepower point as if they have eyes.
For the Japanese light machine gunners and grenadier operators, they also faced a difficult choice.
There are no trenches here where they can carry their guns and change places after firing a shot. There are a lot of rocks in the valleys of the Taihang Mountains in China, but it doesn't mean that there are even rows of bunkers, which are at least five or six meters long. distance.
Leaving the bunker may mean death.
Because, there are not only cannons on the top of the mountain, but also guns, the kind of guns that can shoot accurately.
The establishment stationed on the high ground is an infantry squad, but there are two precision shooters.
From the beginning of the battle, the two precision shooters may have fired the fewest bullets among the Chinese soldiers on the mountain top, but when it comes to the number of enemies killed, they are by no means the least.
Ordinary Japanese soldiers are unattractive to them. Only the Japanese officers wearing white gloves and command knives and the exposed grenade launchers are their favorite "little cuties."
As long as they fire, they may not necessarily kill with one hit, but they will definitely injure.
After the mortars sent two light machine guns into the sky together with the shooters twice in a row, two more grenade launchers died under the gunfire of accurate shooters when they were transferring their positions after firing grenades.
Cold and decisive! That is a state that can only be achieved by veterans who have survived countless battlefields.
Obviously, what the Si Xing Regiment that fought in Songjiang and Guangde lacked the most was such soldiers.
Although the remaining grenade launchers of the Japanese army, after discovering that their companions had been sniped to death, frantically fired five or six grenades into the suspicious grass on the top of the mountain, they still did not stop a sudden bullet that cut through the void and killed a man. The machine gunner who rolled continuously on the ground and tried to evade his actions with excellent tactics shot him dead on the cold ground.
Anyway, as long as you dare to fire, you will either be torn into pieces by mortars falling from the sky in ten seconds, or you will be shot to death by terrifying Chinese gunmen.
The bodies of three companions who have gradually become cold use **** examples to tell the Japanese army, a group of high-risk groups, about their possible endings.
Even if the Japanese army is stubborn, they are still human beings, and they have to make choices and hesitate between life and death. Even if they know that they are on the edge of life and death now, if they don't rush forward, they will die sooner or later. But there is a difference between dying early and dying late, right?
The Japanese army's firepower has stopped, and the Chinese soldiers on the highlands naturally shoot without any scruples.
It feels like hunting, just like hunting rabbits.
The Japanese infantrymen lying behind bushes and stones were beaten and screamed repeatedly. Especially after a minute, the Japanese army lieutenant who was originally the flag guard and was appointed as the squad leader could no longer bear his cowardice. He took the initiative to jump up, waved his command knife and shouted "board", and was quickly beaten into a sack by the ferocious firepower of the Czech light machine gun.
The last remaining endurance of the Japanese infantrymen who were still alive were exhausted, and they fell back one after another. They either retreated crazily with their short legs, or simply rolled down the mountain with a hug on their heads, completely "getting out".
The consequences of exposing your back to the enemy on the battlefield will naturally be an even more ugly death.
In the end, only three-quarters of the Japanese infantry were able to retreat beyond the range of the rifles. In this round of attacks, more than 40 Japanese soldiers remained on the hillside forever, not even a mounted charge.
The enemy was wiped out more than twice his own strength, and only three people on his side were wounded. For a high ground defended by only one infantry squad, this kind of result was absolutely brilliant.
And more importantly, they succeeded in delaying the time. If the Japanese army continued to waste their time, they would be able to make dumplings for them as soon as the reinforcements arrived.
However, the infantrymen of both China and Japan who had just finished the battle ignored a certain lieutenant colonel's determination to open this passage. Seeing through the telescope that one of them was retreating in a hurry under the attack of the Chinese, Yin Teng Youta gritted his molars and said: "Baga! This is the shame of the Imperial Japanese Army, they are all dead."
He didn't just scold, he actually sent the **** team around him to act as a battlefield law enforcement team, blocking more than a hundred Japanese soldiers who had just run away and were covered in sweat. The army captain who led the team used his hands to kill more than a hundred Japanese soldiers extremely cruelly. Point out the three Japanese soldiers who panted the loudest and sweated the most.
As soon as the three anxious Japanese soldiers walked out of the queue, they were pushed to the ground by the law enforcement soldiers with a vicious look.
Three gunshots were fired, and the three panicked Japanese soldiers were executed on the spot before they had time to beg for mercy!
Emergency times require the use of extraordinary means. Yin Teng Youta used extremely cruel means of killing his compatriots to tell these infantrymen that if they do not withdraw, they will die, and if they withdraw, they will die. It is better to die on the front line and gain the reputation of dying bravely.
Not only was he cruel to the infantry, but how crazy was Yota Into?
When taking inventory of the battlefield after the war, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment saw a scene. Not far away from the bombed 92 heavy machine gun, which was twisted like a twist, was the wreckage that was tightly tied with ropes.
There are several such wrecks tied together, and most of them are located near blown-up heavy machine guns.
At first, the officers and soldiers were still a little confused, until Wei Donglai, who arrived at the battlefield, took a breath of cold air: "He is such a stern person. The little devil is really cruel. This is because he is afraid that the machine gunner will be afraid and want to run away!"
Yes, after Yota Into frightened the infantry by executing several deserters on the spot, he became even more cruel to the heavy machine gun team. He required all heavy machine gun shooters and ammunition feeders to tie their feet with ropes after entering the combat position. Wrists tied together.
There are law enforcement soldiers hidden behind. If the heavy machine gunners and bomb supplyers dare to leave, they will be killed immediately.
This means that no matter how the Chinese mortars fire, unless the shells can accurately kill them all, they will stay in the fighting position.
The reason that drove Yin Teng Youta to be so crazy was simple. The scouts at the rear brought him desperate news three minutes ago.
There is a dark blue group marching at high speed from the distance. If there are not too many cliffs, it is estimated that a Chinese infantry platoon will arrive on this battlefield in less than 5 minutes.
An infantry platoon is not scary. What is scary is that the Chinese have a complete advantage in military strength in this mountainous area. The arrival of a Chinese infantry platoon means that it will not be long before his big piece of fat will attract countless people like ants. Chinese soldiers arrive.
Furthermore, I heard from the defeated soldiers that the Chinese seemed to be in short supply of military rations.
“:?:” This is probably what Yin Tengyang's expression looked like after hearing this statement.
By then, his life as a lieutenant colonel of the Imperial Japanese Army may not be more valuable than that of a private. The only thing the Chinese are interested in may be his lieutenant colonel collar badge and command sword.
As for Major General Yamashita, haha, no one will allow the Chinese to capture a live Imperial Major General to hold exhibitions in various parts of China. This does not require orders from Yota Into. The two personal guards who have been standing by the stretcher will do it for him. decided.
"All warriors of the empire, attack! Be loyal to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor! As long as we can break through the Chinese blockade, we can go home." Yin Tengyang Tai gave the military order with a cold face. "The empire has a prosperous military fortune!"
“Empire, military fortune is prosperous!”
The eyes of several Japanese lieutenants flashed with deep sadness, and their voices shouting slogans were weak.
They don't know whether they can break through the Chinese blockade, but they know one thing very well. This may be the last battle for most of them.
The Japanese infantry, numbering more than 300, rushed towards the two highlands again without hesitation, posing a great threat to the two positions with only two infantry squads.
Especially, the Japanese infantry artillery and the only three remaining heavy machine guns were spared no effort this time. No matter how the mortars fired back, they were focused on attacking the high ground on the top of the mountain.
The fire cover of heavy machine guns is not simply straight-line shooting. It also uses the parabolic principle and relies on probability. Don't think that everything will be fine if you hide behind the fortifications.
Listening to the popping sound constantly coming from around you is definitely an extremely challenging thing for your mental will.
Because, that is the sound of the heavy machine gun's thick bullet falling into the soil, or the sound of it falling on the human body!
However, this is the feeling of the Chinese soldiers who have sandbag fortifications. For the Japanese soldiers who have no fortifications and are still pretending to attack, the feeling can only be described as horrific.
Because what they have to face is the dark muzzle of the soldiers of the Fourth Line Regiment.
The infantry squad leader was very experienced. He waited until the Japanese infantry advanced to 80 meters before shooting. Not only was he completely within the range of the submachine gun, but also the range of the shell gun.
The two Chinese highlands were subjected to a frenzied attack by hundreds of Japanese infantry, with a disparity in strength of about 1:5.
But this is not the most disparate balance of forces on this battlefield.
Where is the battle with the greatest disparity in military strength?
also in this mountain forest.
Three soldiers, who were only a kilometer away from the main position and were only serving as reconnaissance, encountered the most dangerous battle in their lives.
After Yin Tengyouta issued the order to attack to the death, he watched the simultaneous fighting on both sides 1,000 meters apart, and then left the temporary headquarters. With the help of the cover of the woods, he bypassed the battlefield where the sound of killing was loud, and headed towards a more peaceful place. Advance on the rugged mountain road.
Yes, the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel who loudly shouted the slogan "loyal to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor" in the military order did not fulfill his promise.
On the contrary, after his men followed his orders and began a desperate charge, he escaped first.
Because, the smooth half-sized wild boar miraculously worked again.
Perhaps officers who have reached the colonel level, regardless of China or Japan, have the mentality of "shooting first if there is a date but not a date". Forced into desperation, Ito Yota can only hope that "killing the pig will produce a miracle."
Life is always more important than face. In Chinese history, aren't there legends about King Yue “lying on firewood and tasting his courage” and Han Xin “humiliating his crotch”? Why, all the big shots in China can have the experience of not being dignified, but I, a little lieutenant in the army, can't do it?
The mentality of the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel is generally like this.
This time, instead of the Japanese second lieutenant holding a gun to the 'little cutie''s hairless forehead, Yota Yin Teng personally held a sharp command knife and gestured like killing a New Year pig, and the old man gave in again.
After a simple reconnaissance to confirm that it was indeed a road, the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel, who had completely faced the Mariana Trench, took his **** team and carried the seriously injured and dying Japanese Army Major General and ran away again without any shame.
Poor Yamashita, if he knew that he relied on a Chinese wild boar to survive and breathe again and again in the mountains of China, he might have been bumped to death in shame.
The title of "Tiger of Malay" is destined to be impossible in this time and space, but the title of "Taihang Zhutouwen" is really possible.
Little wild boar: What does this have to do with me?
PS: I'm going to take a little leave tomorrow. I've been in class recently and I have to keep two books updated. Fengyue feels like her whole head is numb. I'll go play football tomorrow and give my head a break. I'll come back full of energy on Saturday.
