The new regiment of the Sichuan Army has a full 90 heavy machine guns. Even if 30 are given to the 28th Division, there are still 60!
According to Tang Tuanzuo's previous military order, only half of the heavy machine gun fire points on the defensive position are allowed to be exposed, so basically the 50 heavy machine guns of the 28th Division are suppressing fire.
The 60 specially reinforced heavy machine gun fire points located 800 meters away from the river shoreline have always been concealed.
Not counting this, all the 82nd Mortar Squadron of the Sichuan Army's New Regiment are still on standby in the tunnels.
When 3 red flares rise into the sky, it means that the entire military's firepower is no longer reserved and outputted with all its strength.
The artillery fire coming from the Japanese army is nothing. Not to mention there are only 20 mountain guns. Even if the 150MM heavy artillery attacks, the heavy machine guns must also participate in the battle.
Because at this time, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, and it's just a matter of seeing who can't hold on first.
It's just a matter of death for death.
After these 20 days of baptism of fire, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army's new regiment are no longer the kind of recruits who were so frightened that they peed their pants when they heard the explosion of artillery shells when they first arrived in Tongguan. Although they are not strong enough to hold a rifle now, Fighting with the Japanese army on bayonets, but it is still possible to set up a crane gun in the fortifications and shoot out the bullets hundreds of meters away.
So, just as more than 2,000 Japanese infantrymen were shouting "on board" crazily, their two short legs gathered enough strength to run forward. The 38 caps in their hands were already squeezed tightly, and they watched for more than ten seconds. It's time to rush into the trenches and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese.
The battlefield shrouded in gunpowder smoke suddenly burst into dazzling dots of starlight.
It was the muzzle brilliance of more than 100 heavy machine guns that erupted due to long bursts of fire. From a distance on this gloomy afternoon, it looked like twinkling stars at first glance.
That is definitely enough fatal brilliance.
According to the civilian 24th heavy machine gun's firing rate of 750 rounds per minute, in just five seconds, one heavy machine gun can spit out 60 rounds of bullets. 100 heavy machine guns are 6,000 rounds. If you add in the desperate firing from the forward position, There were more than a hundred light machine guns, and in just a few seconds, nearly 10,000 rounds of bullets flew across the battlefield thousands of meters wide.
If the charging Japanese army is like a huge wave rising in the sea, then this wave of bullets is like a hard reef formed over millions of years, smashing the oncoming huge waves into spray all over the sky.
An unknown number of Japanese soldiers staggered and fell under the sudden attack. Blood splattered everywhere.
Xiaoxi Hayashi, who had been observing the battlefield with a telescope, shrank his pupils severely, and his fingers almost squeezed the telescope out of shape.
Although he didn't say anything, it was obvious that the sudden appearance of so many heavy machine gun firepower points from the Chinese gave the top Japanese frontline commander a heavy blow.
He knew very well that under such terrible firepower, even if the more than 2,000 people here really rushed to the Chinese frontline trenches, the casualty losses would far exceed the bottom line he could bear.
But at this time, the bow was fired and there was no turning back. If he ordered to stop the charge, hundreds of soldiers would have died in vain.
If he didn't want to lose in vain, he had to continue. He still had enough confidence in his subordinate's tactical execution.
However, the Chinese people's forbearance is beyond his imagination.
Dozens of mortar shells roared down from the sky, hitting the Japanese charging path hard, and shrapnel and air waves rampaged across the battlefield unbridled.
Nearly a hundred Japanese infantry were dissipated in this low-precision but highly lethal artillery fire.
China's more terrifying weapon is on the scene!
Xiao Xi's face turned pale instantly, but she remained silent.
Like the Chinese soldiers, he knows that now both sides are fighting for their lives, and whoever can withstand greater casualties will win.
The bravery of the Imperial Japanese Army is unparalleled in the world!
This was also the Japanese army commander's last insistence on not retreating despite such fierce Chinese firepower.
His men did not live up to his expectations. In just seven or eight seconds, at least 500 of the more than 2,000 Japanese troops fell, but more than 1,500 still continued to run towards the front.
From this point of view, the Third Division is indeed the only Class A division in Japan that participated in the entire war of aggression against China. It has such a strong will to fight that its opponents can't help but give a thumbs up.
Seeing that the front line of the Japanese army was about to reach the area less than 40 meters away from the trench, it was the bombing area for Japanese melon grenades. Once the approaching Japanese army dropped bombs here, it would not be said that it would be the end of the Chinese soldiers in the trench. However, the damage caused by the grenades and the smoke cover will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the infantry's counterattack in the trenches.
In less than five seconds, the running Japanese troops will arrive, and brutal hand-to-hand combat is inevitable.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers who looked pale due to extreme nervousness, even veterans like Lu Sanjiang had a gloomy face that was almost ugly. His roars in the trenches even overwhelmed the blazing gunfire: "Dutliang's." Hold on tight for me, everyone mounts bayonets, and when the charge sounds, go into the trenches for me. No matter whether it's accurate or not, shoot blank bullets at any Japanese you can see, and then rush forward and stab them. , until you die, use your knives, your fists and your teeth to kill the dog."
“Fight with the idiots!” was the last order that the commanders of the companies and platoons in the trenches roared at their officers and soldiers.
As the Japanese army began to drop bombs, clouds of smoke rose up beside and in the Chinese trenches, and the Japanese army's "onboard" sound of encouragement for themselves resounded throughout the battlefield again.
The Japanese soldiers, who had short legs but were strong enough, began to charge for the last 40 meters. The ferocious gazes under the helmets were clearly visible even if they were obscured by the thick smoke.
The most brutal hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield is about to break out.
However, the Chinese soldiers, who were fully prepared and so nervous that their whole bodies could not help but tremble slightly, still did not wait for the loud charge trumpet sound that should have resounded throughout the battlefield.
The miserable howls of the Japanese troops echoed throughout the audience.
More than half of the Japanese troops stopped in great pain, less than 30 meters in front of the Chinese front line trench!
"Haha! Who said that my arrangement was useless? Why the **** didn't this happen?" Seeing the sudden collapse of the charging Japanese army, the major general and brigade commander on the height of more than a thousand meters couldn't help but applaud with joy.
Tang Dao can't help but smile.
Not to mention, this native trick is really useful, and he has learned it.
The area had already been ravaged by heavy artillery and mountain artillery. The entire position was covered with loess that was turned into powder by the energy of the artillery shells. When the Japanese soldiers stepped on it, the dust could reach their ankles.
As long as you don't mind getting dirty, it actually feels pretty good on your feet.
But what could make them stop was obviously not the almost soft ground, but something covered in dust.
Iron caltrops, a special tool used to prevent cavalry charges during ancient wars. No matter how the triangular iron nails are attacked by external forces, there will always be a sharp thorn pointing towards the sky.
Those were 5 centimeters long steel spikes. Not to mention that the soles of the Japanese cowhide boots were inlaid with iron sheets. Even if they were covered with steel plates, they could not stop the reaction force caused by their wild running.
Whenever stepped on, the 5-centimeter steel spikes could easily pierce the soles of cowhide boots and penetrate the insteps. Wounded soldiers could even touch the **** spikes. They were definitely made of good steel.
The entire 40-meter area in front of the front-line trenches had been dropped by Brigadier Hu Da's order nearly 10,000 of these specially customized items at his request as early as a month ago.
Different from regular soldiers like Dong Zhao who came from the Whampoa Military Academy, Brigadier Hu Da came from a rough background. He was even a jungle hero when he was young, and his tricks were full of tricks!
Unlike other brigade and regiment commanders who desperately went to the division headquarters for various guns and ammunition, he exchanged 300 anti-infantry mines for this almost primitive gadget before entering the defensive position.
This thing has no technical content, and at most it consumes some steel. Naturally, the Tenth Theater Command gave priority to meeting this person's needs.
However, before the Japanese army attacked the position on a large scale, this simple gadget made the regiment and battalion commanders under his command quite critical.
The reason was the non-stop bombardment by the Japanese army, which caused this abandoned thing to become the culprit of the Japanese artillery fire. Once blown away by the artillery fire, the iron caltrops did not care whether their surname was "Chinese" or not. There were many 5 cm long steel thorns. It's scary, it's a bruise, it's like dying.
In other words, Brigadier Hu Da could hold it down with enough prestige, otherwise the dozens of casualties caused by the caltrops blown away by the artillery fire would have been enough to make it difficult for him to face the entire brigade officers and soldiers.
Not only was this man not discouraged, he kept adding more and even went so far as to completely fill the position that was thousands of meters wide and tens of meters deep with these things.
It is said that just to produce the original weapons needed by Brigadier Hu Da, the small steelmaking plant in Chang'an consumed ten tons of steel. In the end, even the rails blown up by the Japanese army were remelted into this thing. Fan Dajun For this reason, the commanders have come forward to ensure that the theater headquarters will never live up to the devotion of the commanders.
Even the officers and soldiers of the 28th Division who wanted to go fishing in the Yellow River to wash clothes or something like that between battles had to carefully pass through that area, but it took a minute to walk to a depth of more than 30 meters. Although that thing is crude, the officers and soldiers did experiments when they were bored. When stones were hit, sparks would emit, and wood could be used as nails when hit, piercing a piece of flesh. It did not require much force, but no one was willing to do it for the Japanese. Let's taste the ferocity of this thing first.
Thus, under the passionate charge of the Japanese army, Brigadier Hu Da persisted in supplementing the original anti-charge caltrop formation deployed in front of the front-line trenches and finally took effect.
The faster you run and the bigger your steps are, the egg may not be pulled off, but the chance of your foot being punctured is as high as 60%.
There are tough guys who can be shot and still stand tall, and rely on their tenacious perseverance to empty the last bullet in their guns before falling. This is not only a sublimation creation of future film and television dramas to highlight the bravery and fearlessness of our own soldiers, but also in actual combat examples It has happened;
There are also tough guys who have lost one leg and one arm and are still fighting, just like the "Tian Can Di Que" combination born in the Four Lines Regiment. The blind man and the lame duo insisted on fighting until reinforcements arrived;
But there has never been a person who still ran like flying with an iron thorn stuck in his foot, because the pain level that continues to increase with the pain intensity of moving really exceeds the limit that the human brain can withstand.
And stopping on such a battlefield, neither Amaterasu nor God could protect the Japanese infantry who chose to stop due to extreme pain at this moment.
The number of Japanese soldiers who could continue to charge was instantly reduced by half. What was even more terrible was that seeing the figures of their companions stopping in pain, the Japanese soldiers who had not stepped on the thorns at this time were also panicking.
Just because you didn't step on it now doesn't mean you won't step on it in the future. God knows how many of these things the Chinese dropped in front of their positions?
Damn artillery, who said that clearing the scene only requires clearing away the barbed wire fences laid out in front of the Chinese positions. Iron nails buried in the soil will not kill people, but they can hurt people!
The key is that the injury is still to the foot, making it impossible to move!
The speed of the Japanese infantry charge dropped sharply!
But they apparently forgot that they were located in an area less than 20 meters away from the opponent's trench, which was also the area closest to death.
“Drop the bomb!” The Chinese commanders at all levels on the battlefield were all veterans of the battlefield. When they saw that the weird triangular nails made by their own officials were working, they immediately shouted orders.
'While you are sick, I will kill you', this saying of the Chinese ancestors has influenced generations of Chinese people, and it has simply penetrated into the bone marrow of the Chinese people.
Countless wooden-handled grenades were thrown out from the trenches!
The Chinese frontline trenches deployed a full 15 infantry companies, more than one infantry regiment.
The Chinese soldiers, who were so nervous that they were almost stiff under the shining bayonets of the Japanese army, may indeed not be as good as the Japanese Third Division in combat effectiveness, but their potential to burst out under crisis is still astonishing.
In just 10 seconds, more than 2,000 soldiers threw more than 3,000 grenades at the front of their trenches amid the constant orders.
That density, even if the battle line is long enough, can reach one per meter two meters on average!
Shrapnel was flying everywhere, and Japanese infantrymen were everywhere. Their arms and legs were flying around, it was like the end of the world!
The Japanese troops fell to the ground one after another!
Whether alive or dead.
It doesn't matter what posture the dead person holds, but the only option for the living person is to try their best to keep their bodies close to the ground to reduce the area that may be hit by shrapnel and air waves.
However, the ground is not only filled with dust, but also with countless invisible caltrops. Even the area of the soles of your feet may win the bid, not to mention the thick human body!
Calculated based on probability theory, the chance of winning the bid unfortunately is higher than 95%.
"Drop bombs! Keep dropping bombs! Kill the bastards." The shouts of Chinese commanders at all levels made the Japanese infantrymen who were still making a difficult decision between lying down or not lying down were heartbroken.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!” More than two thousand grenades were thrown from the trench and exploded.
The remaining limbs and broken bodies flew around in an instant.
A soldier from the Sichuan Army's new regiment was close to the trench and was twisting the cap of a grenade. Before he could pull the string, a warm hand suddenly rested on his shoulder. This scared the clever man and knocked the hand off his shoulder impatiently: "Don't touch me, I'm almost **** off because of you."
As a result, that pitch-black hand was really knocked to the ground!
The white bone stubble on half of the arm is just fine, but the clearly visible residual muscle is really scary.
The Sichuan Army soldier who turned around and saw this scene instantly felt hot in his crotch and was really frightened to the point of peeing.
"I'm an immortal, brother and brother, I never have diarrhea! You scare me!" The soldier who was frightened to wet his pants did not run away with his head in his hands. Instead, he straightened up crazily and threw grenades forward.
The movements are also much more relaxed and smooth than before.
This is also a type of battlefield stress traumatic disorder. The original fear of death has been frightened, but it has become ashes and becomes insignificant.
Sichuanese people love their faces so much that they wet their pants with fear. People have been humiliated like this, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Japanese Army: I don't want to scare people either! I originally wanted to kill someone.
Countless Japanese troops howled in the explosion, and no more than one infantry squadron could reach the front edge of the trenches under this intensity of firepower.
On such a long front, less than 200 people could rush to the trenches, which looked a bit pitiful.
Because they have to face Chinese soldiers who are 10 times their size.
“Charge, fight back!” Tang Dao finally ordered.
Xia Heavy Rain quickly fired a green signal flare.
"Tick-tock!" As the bugler blew the charge horn, countless Chinese soldiers jumped out of the trenches with guns in hand and rushed towards the sparse Japanese army.
You can't win one-on-one, but an infantry squad or even an infantry platoon has enough courage to deal with two or three Japanese troops.
Few Japanese troops who fell into the sparse Japanese army had the opportunity to extend their long bayonet. The bullets that the Chinese infantry fired before the counterattack had made the Japanese infantry burst into tears.
'Chinese people don't respect martial ethics! ' The Japanese soldier who had just fired a shot was shot and watched helplessly as more than a dozen big men rushed towards him like wolves and tigers and stabbed him through with several bayonets. You can imagine the frustration in his heart.
"Baga! Order the heavy machine gun squadron to aim at the front of the Chinese position and shoot!" Xiao Xi's face had already turned from white to red, and he ordered frantically.
He knew that the attack was a complete failure, his infantry regiment was finished, and so was he.
But before that, he will drag the Chinese people into **** with him.
No matter how many imperial officers and soldiers are still alive in front of the position, the 30 heavy machine guns will take away at least hundreds of Chinese lives if they fire regardless.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Daisaku, the Chinese artillery fire is fierce, and the heavy machine gun positions are being moved!" A major officer stammered in reply to Xiaoxi Zaobei.
Tang Dao had already foreseen the ferocity of the Japanese army. When the Japanese army approached the front of the trench, he had already ordered all mortars to fire at the Japanese heavy machine gun positions further away. Even if the accuracy was limited, it still had to scare them away. Unable to reliably provide effective fire support to the Japanese infantry.
It was this order that killed Xiaoxi Zaoxian's last-ditch attempt.
Killing the Chinese officers and soldiers who rushed to the front of the trench, they quickly returned to the trench and continued to drop bombs and shoot at the Japanese infantry who had to stay dozens of meters in front because of injuries.
The Japanese army, unable to move normally, could only lie on the ground and barely fight back, completely losing hope of attacking the position.
“Retreat!” Finally, a Japanese officer at the rank of captain couldn't bear it anymore.
Hand-cranked sirens sounded on the battlefield.
“Want to run?” Tang Dao's lips curved into a sneer.
“Order all officers and soldiers in the second-line trenches to enter the trenches, and the entire army will hunt and kill the Japanese troops freely! Order the 28th Division Artillery Battalion to bombard the 200-meter area in front of our first-line trenches with all its strength! Order the heavy artillery company to suppress the Japanese mountain artillery group with artillery fire!
He ordered the whole army to kill all the Japanese vanguard without fear of sacrifice! "
Tang Dao knew that the Japanese army, which had already launched the New Year's Day offensive, would never give up this offensive plan easily without beating the Japanese army so painfully that they vomited blood.
And he did not have much time to continue spending time with the Japanese army in Tongguan.
The Taihang Mountain battlefield, where nearly 100,000 Japanese troops gathered, was bound to be another **** battle.
