Chapter 439 is here
One is intentional and the other is unintentional.
What's even more frightening is that the distance is so close that the Chinese soldiers, who mostly use continuous-fire shell guns and submachine guns, basically don't need to aim, and they just rely on listening to the sound to identify the position and sweep out the bullets.
Perhaps they already know how difficult this battle is. Most of the soldiers in the guard camp have realized that I may never go back, and no one cherishes ammunition anymore.
Many people completely emptied the 20-round magazine of the shell gun that had been turned to the continuous fire switch within three seconds.
The Japanese soldiers who were still trudging through the river were like rice cut by a sickle, falling into pieces in the river.
Even the most responsive 'cold-blooded little tree' was inevitably hit by three bullets.
One hair on the shoulder and two hairs on the chest and abdomen.
The 7.63 mm caliber bullet of the shell gun has an astonishing muzzle kinetic energy of 576 joules. Although the warhead only weighs 5.5 grams, it is enough to tear a large hole in human muscles.
All three bullets passed through Aso Xiaoshu's body. The bullet on the shoulder only tore the muscles and broke a bone. It was not considered a fatal injury, but the fragile abdomen will be used to store excrement if hit by one shot. A big hole was made in the large intestine, and dark green feces contaminated the entire abdominal cavity. Not to mention that in this era, it would be serious even in the future.
However, the real fatal shot was in the chest. Aso Xiaoshu, who was crawling in the river, coughed in pain due to the convulsions of his lungs, and blood continued to spurt out of his mouth along the trachea.
Aso Xiaoshu knew that he was finished without waiting for the military doctor to arrive.
The fatal wound made the extremely strong body that was once able to fight several Chinese infantrymen alone with a gun so weak that it was difficult to even move. The consciousness of the Japanese Army second lieutenant who coughed up a lot of blood and then inhaled the cold river water began to blur.
He could not lift his head out of the water.
The blazing gunshots that rang out again and the mournful howls of his colleagues tearing through the night sky seemed to be in a very distant place.
The face of the young Chinese soldier whom he stabbed to death seemed to appear again in front of the eyes of the 'cold-blooded little tree', which was distorted by pain.
The extreme pain brings extreme coldness, and people finally realize why death is called an abyss.
“Mom, it hurts!” Aso Xiaoshu, whose mind had been occupied by pain, finally understood the last cry of the Chinese soldier.
Perhaps, only the numb and warm embrace can soothe the pain of his son's body being torn apart, which comes from the safety and warmth of October.
No one can give it anymore.
It is a pity that the desperate calls of Chinese soldiers can still be heard, and the empty night sky can dissipate them.
The Japanese Army Second Lieutenant's last shout left only bubbles.
The real cause of death of the 'cold-blooded little tree' was not the three wounds torn apart by 7.63mm rifle bullets, but the cold river.
He was drowned alive after losing the ability to move, in a small river less than one meter deep.
Perhaps, there are not a few Japanese infantrymen who drowned like Second Lieutenant Koshu Aso.
The tip squad of the 45th Infantry Regiment of the 36th Infantry Brigade had 39 people from the second lieutenant level down, 25 of whom died in the first wave of attacks. As the flares rose into the sky, the 14 people who panicked and buried their bodies in the river were also attacked by precise bursts of rifle fire and thrown wooden-handled grenades.
The battle started suddenly and ended quickly. When several infantry teams that were 150 meters behind the infantry team fell to the ground, set up guns, machine guns and even grenades to attack the Chinese on the opposite side, China Everyone has already gotten into the trenches.
There was no one in Aso's team who could climb out of the river, and the injured who could still breathe stayed in the cold river water. Even if they did not drown helplessly like their brave and fearless second lieutenant, they would eventually die of hypothermia.
At night in the late autumn in the southeast, the temperature is only six or seven degrees. When it comes to autumn swimming, human life is really not as tenacious as they imagined.
"What? Are there Chinese obstructions ahead?" One kilometer away, Captain Kanda Masane of the 45th Infantry Regiment of the 36th Infantry Brigade, who was riding a tall horse for the first time in several days, looked at the distance with a cold face. The night sky looked cold.
The Chinese are really calculating. With only a few thousand troops, they dared to divide their troops. Some of them attacked the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, and some of them blocked his army in the wilderness.
“Order the entire army to stop gathering. Send the order to the 6th and 8th Brigades. I will give them 20 minutes to deal with the enemy in front of them.” Kanda Masane took out his pocket watch, calculated the time briefly, and issued the military order with a cold expression.
Of course, the Japanese commander did not blindly drive his subordinates to die.
But after careful calculation, if the Chinese want to break through a heavy artillery brigade position with thousands of troops and infantry protection, they have to send out their main elite force no matter what. The troops left to block the attack will never exceed an infantry battalion or even more. few.
Perhaps, their role is not to block the 36th Infantry Brigade from reinforcing the Heavy Artillery Brigade. Because, even if they were a whole army, they were chased by the brigade like dogs running around in the wilderness without ever daring to stop and actually fight.
Based on this reason, Kanda Masane had reason to believe that the real purpose of the unknown number of Chinese troops blocking his infantry regiment was just to delay, and even if it was delayed for an hour, it would be successful.
Therefore, if he digs trenches like a regular field battle, uses firepower to suppress the infantry attack, and even uses artillery to clear out the Chinese's heavy firepower points and then captures the position, he may just fall into the Chinese's scheme.
Besides, even if he wanted to, he couldn't. All the infantry artillery and mountain artillery under his command, whether it is the wing headquarters or the infantry brigade, are still on their way. For at least half an hour, the infantry who are coming in light armor will not receive any artillery support.
What he has to do now is to rely on his superiority in military strength, gather more than two infantry brigades, and crush them with thunderous momentum without giving the small number of Chinese any chance to breathe.
In 20 minutes, a 1,500-meter-wide position on the field was captured. This was not the first time for the Japanese infantry of the 6th Division.
On the contrary, on the battlefield in North China, they had a more brilliant record. After the regiment gathered all the infantry artillery and mountain artillery for bombardment, an infantry brigade launched an attack. In just ten minutes, they occupied the opposite side of the battlefield, which was occupied by an infantry regiment. defensive position.
The Chinese infantry regiment of more than 1,000 people fought for only ten minutes before being completely defeated. In the ensuing pursuit, not even one of them was able to escape the battlefield.
After receiving the military orders from their respective regimental commanders, the two infantry brigades carried them out without hesitation.
The infantry quickly assembled in the field, not only to gather troops, but also to repair for 10 minutes.
The infantry have been running for almost 50 minutes from the campsite to here, and they must fully recover their physical strength before the battle.
The infantrymen began to drink water and eat candy to regain their strength.
The light machine guns and grenade launchers of the four infantry squadrons responsible for the first round of the attack selected shooting points in an area 300 meters away from the creek. The heavy machine gun brigades of the two infantry brigades, totaling 24 heavy machine guns, were also set up 500 meters away. rise.
This is the confidence of the "strongest division on the surface" derived from continuous victory. It cannot be erased by the next setback in Songjiang City and the constant harassment of Tang Dao.
Until 10 minutes later, the infantry began to enter the battlefield.
The four infantry squadrons in the first wave of attacks and the two infantry squadrons that circled the wings with full force totaled 1,200 people. Not counting the two heavy machine gun squadrons behind, the Japanese army deployed more troops than the Chinese army in the trenches. .
The dark night covered the figures of the Japanese soldiers who were bending forward and also concealed the guns placed by the Chinese soldiers on the edge of the trenches on the river bank.
The muzzles of the three machine guns and four heavy machine guns located on the hill were even more dim.
In the dark night, the Japanese side did not know how many people there were on the Chinese side, nor did the Chinese side know how much force the Japanese army would invest.
But both sides are extremely certain of one thing. In this battle, if you don't die, I will die.
Then it's better for you to die! This may also be the first time that the Chinese and Japanese have coincided with each other.
“Flare bombs!” Scar Old Zhao listened to the sounds coming from the front of the position and finally gave the order.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Flares flashed in the sky less than a hundred meters away from the position.
Patches of khaki are densely packed in the wild, making people's scalp numb.
The Japanese troops responded in kind, with more flares falling over the Chinese positions.
There is still fresh soil piled on the trench, showing the time of its birth.
However, the long and almost endless trenches also made the Japanese military officers in the rear look stiff.
“Kill the chicken and give it to me!” The two majors waved their command swords forward in two different spaces at the same time.
More than 20 Type 92 heavy machine guns spoke first.
The dark red bullet marks were extremely conspicuous in the night sky, like the long whip that the God of Death was waving with a grin.
The most brutal charge in the history of the establishment of the Japanese Army's 6th Division is coming.
