Chapter 258: It's like purgatory

The Japanese army still used the old method, taking advantage of the lively gap in their own artillery fire, and began to move towards the defending position.

It's just that this time there is a more powerful mountain artillery, so they stopped when they reached 400 feet away, and the heroic soldiers of the Japanese Empire were not afraid of death, but they were also afraid of being killed by their own artillery, and they would be called stupid × if they died, that was for sure.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment in the trenches on the top of the hill hid in the tunnels on the back of the mountain through the communication trenches before the Japanese began to shoot artillery, leaving only four observation posts on the surface positions to hide in the heavy machine gun bunkers, where the protective strength could even resist the 155 howitzers, let alone the mountain artillery.

After receiving reports from the adjutants at several attack points in front, all the soldiers who were preparing to attack had basically arrived at the intended combat positions, and Suzuki Mitsu gave the order; "Order all artillery to stop shelling, and each brigade can launch an attack on its own according to the actual situation, and at the same time order the artillery squadrons of each brigade to bring infantry artillery close to the combat area 1,500 feet to provide fire support to the infantry at any time."

As soon as the four observation posts in the ambush stopped, they blew the bamboo flute hanging around their necks, which was made of a special kind of bamboo in the Qinling Mountains, and the sound was sharp and loud, enough to spread hundreds of meters away, and was used by Liu Lang as a communication tool on the battlefield.

With this unique bamboo flute with a unique material and sound, with different blowing methods, such as one short and one long, or two short and one long, in the chaotic battlefield, the soldiers of the independent regiment can basically know the orders of their respective commanders even if they do not have modern individual headsets.

Blowing like an observation post, piercing the eardrums of people a hundred meters away, the order to naturally charge shows that the enemy is attacking.

Seven or eight openings of the anti-slope tunnel were opened, and groups of soldiers rushed towards the hilltop position with guns in their hands, and they were also 60 meters away from the hilltop position, and they had to rush to the position before the Japanese troops.

Of course, the Japanese troops who had already launched the attack did not dare to run straight like the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, they were alternately covering the movement towards the position to be attacked at a balanced speed, so that they could not only maintain their physical strength until the last 100 meters before sprinting to attack, but also immediately lie down and shoot at the defender when they encountered a block. The Japanese soldiers are well-trained and have excellent shooting skills, and the standard rifle has a long range and accurate trajectory, and it has entered the range of the Japanese infantry beyond 300 feet, and the defending soldiers are accurately sniped by the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground without a little idea.

They will not continue to attack until their infantry artillery and grenadiers have cleared the enemy's heavy firepower one by one, and the enemy's infantry firepower has been effectively suppressed by their own light and heavy firepower.

Moreover, the Japanese army pays special attention to flank attacks, and the attention of the defenders is often attracted by the Japanese troops who are constantly attacking head-on, and when the flank fire is added, the defenders often take care of one and lose the other, which then causes the collapse of the whole army. The Japanese would also draw small units to make a detour to the defenders' retreat route, and eventually wipe out the last vestiges of the defenders' will to resist.

General Zhang Zizhong, who was martyred in time and space, was sacrificed in the cunning and effective tactics of the Japanese army.

It can be said that this tactic of the Japanese army was advanced and effective all over the world before 1942.

It's just that they don't know that the force they encountered that was holding back their strength for half a year to fight the Japanese was very different from the Chinese army they encountered.

Not only did the Independence Regiment have a second line of defense to defend the two flanks of the position, but more importantly, they had even more heavy firepower than the Japanese army.

By the time the Japanese army marched to a distance of 300 feet from the position in accordance with the standard tactics of attacking the fort, all the 160 officers and men of the forward company had been in place, and the heavy machine gunners had already opened the safety of the machine guns in the bunker.

The Japanese army continued to advance.

The distance was already less than two hundred feet, but the opposite position was silent and there was no gunshot, which somewhat made Liu Chuan, who was in charge of Luo Wenyukou's frontal attack, a little hairy, according to the experience of attacking the Chinese army in the past, at this distance, the Chinese army had already been beaten into a pot of porridge with rifle and machine guns, because, if another 100 feet were advanced, the heroic Imperial Japanese Army only needed more than ten seconds to rush into the position, and no Chinese army dared to easily let the Imperial Army calmly walk into that distance.

Moreover, his own attack formation was too dense, there was a soldier less than two meters, and the opponent's four light machine guns were not vegetarian until they were knocked out by their own infantry guns. But thinking of the military order of His Excellency Major General Suzuki, the brigade commander, Kazuo Yanagawa, who was a little heartbroken about the impending casualties, could only grit his teeth and issue an order, ordering the two infantry squadrons that had entered the final attack position to start charging with all their might.

The Akagi Brigade, which was responsible for attacking both flanks, saw that the Yanagawa Brigade had begun, so they also ordered a charge, and both invariably reserved a passage for heavy machine gun fire suppression, and the two Japanese soldiers did not want their troops to lose too much, and hoped that their machine gun squadron had 12 heavy machine guns to suppress the Chinese firepower.

150 feet, 100 feet, 80 feet。。。。。。。 The Japanese soldiers had short legs, but because of their good nutrition, they were very stocky, and the speed of the charge was also very fast.

The faces of the two Japanese commanders who were responsible for attacking the front and both flanks became ugly. At such a distance, the Chinese army has not even fired a shot?

As good infantry mid-level commanders, of course, they do not believe that it is the Chinese army that has abandoned their positions and fled or been wiped out by their own artillery, they prefer to believe that their opponents are very confident, confident that the enemy will not be able to attack their positions even if they enter this dangerous distance.

If so, then it's a curse.

This thought just came to the minds of the two young ministers.

Just listen to the sound of "puff" like a chainsaw.

Five bunkers, no more than ten meters in front of the infantry position, erupted terrifying tongues of fire.

Like a chainsaw mowing grass, the Japanese soldiers who were sprinting with all their strength did not react, and were severely whipped by five flaming whips that were clearly visible to the naked eye.

The consequences were naturally tragic, and more than 50 Japanese soldiers, who were only 2 meters apart, fell to the ground, and the sound of painful wails resounded throughout the battlefield.

EVEN BECAUSE A SHOOTER IN A COMPANY WAS TOO EXCITED, HE PULLED THE TRIGGER FOR TWO SECONDS AND DID NOT LET GO, AND MORE THAN 20 BULLETS ALL HIT THE WAIST OF A DEVIL SOLDIER CAO WHO RUSHED TO THE FRONT, AND THE TERRIFYING KINETIC ENERGY ACCUMULATED BY THE 7.92MM BULLET ACTUALLY BROKE THE DEVIL SOLDIER CAO'S WAIST, THE LIVER, KIDNEYS AND INTESTINES SLIPPED FROM THE HUGE WOUND, AND THE RED, WHITE AND GREEN FLOWED A LARGE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND.

And the devil soldier Cao was not dead, howling loudly and desperately stuffing half of his body into the organs that had fallen out of his body。。。。。。

There was also a Japanese devil who was caught off guard and was swept to the head by several bullets at the same time, and with a muffled sound of "bang", the red and white brain tissue instantly came to a heavenly girl scattered.

Have you ever seen a person with only half a face, and he still didn't realize it, and rushed forward at least seven or eight meters?

The officers and men of the company, who were lying on their shoulders at their individual firing positions and had not had time to pull the trigger, saw such a terrible scene.

It's like a purgatory scene.

At least a dozen recruits threw up on the spot.
