Chapter 489: The Courage of a Farmer

The Japanese army, which was attacking with all its might, finally showed their strong combat effectiveness.

The Eighth Division, which may lack heavy weapons, may not be able to fight the Great Wall Regiment, which is also stronger than them in light weapons, but it is not only more than enough to fight the resistance army composed of a group of Chinese peasants with similar weapons and equipment to them, but they are almost completely suppressed.

Although Liu Dazhu's three infantry platoons were also divided into three directions to help Sun Yongqin's three regiments desperately resist, in the face of the Japanese army with superb archery skills, the peasant army under Sun Yongqin still suffered heavy losses.

Although the first round of the Japanese charge was repelled by desperate fire from 8 mortars in the rear, a full 300 soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army fell in a pool of blood.

Hearing the commander desperately shouting and shooting, the peasant army with no combat experience would be hit by a bullet from 300 meters away as long as they lifted their bodies a little higher.

Darkness could no longer be a protective color, and the Japanese flares hit the sky as bright as day. It is said that the Japanese army does not like to fight at night, it depends on when. Although the Japanese army without the help of airplanes was weaker in combat effectiveness, it did not mean that their strength in night battles was weak, and when the flesh mill on Kuah Island competed with the American GIs in the future, there were no Japanese troops fighting at night in the sea and air, and the Japanese with the 38-type big cover also beat the American GIs with automatic rifles all over the ground.

Only now did Sun Yongqin know why Li stammered and said he was afraid. The Japanese marksmanship is simply not accurate, the same is the same shooting, the casualty rate of the Japanese soldiers lying in the field is even lower than that of the National Salvation Army with trenches, after each round of gunfire, I don't know how many National Salvation Army fallen in the trenches, but there are not many Japanese invaders.

Moreover, even if there were, Sun Yongqin, who was holding a telescope and scanning the battlefield with a bitter face, knew in his heart that most of them were still the results of Liu Dazhu's company, and his 3,000 people didn't know if there was a blind cat that ran into a dead mouse.

You must know that this group of attacking Japanese troops is not a regular Japanese infantry, and most of them are still auxiliary arms such as baggage soldiers and artillery.

Indeed, in several fierce battles with the Great Wall Regiment, the regular infantry of the Eighth Division had almost been exhausted, either to see Amaterasu or lying in the field hospital only humming, and now those who are incorporated into the infantry brigade are all former auxiliary troops.

Otherwise, the casualties of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would have been even more severe.

In other words, at this time, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Division was not at all the previous Eighth Division, and at most it was equivalent to the combat effectiveness of a second-line division.

This is not to say that it was because Sun Yongqin's equipment was not good, and a round of explosion in Lutonggou buried the 2,000 people of the Fengtian Independent Brigade, but the seizure was huge, more than 1,000 rifles and more than a dozen machine guns intact, plus 2,500 rifles, 20 light machine guns, and three heavy machine guns allocated to Sun Yongqin by Liu Lang in Chengde, almost all of them were brought to the battlefield by Sun Yongqin this time, and the bullets were enough, not to mention carrying 300,000 rounds.

It is enough to arm the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to the teeth, which is basically the equipment of a regular national army brigade, and even beyond.

It can be said that Sun Yongqin, who received the task of leading the snake out of the hole deployed by Liu Lang, was still full of confidence before, with these treasures, against a toothless Eighth Division, no matter how weak the peasant army under his command is, it will not be a problem to hold on for an hour or two!

Not only did he think so, but the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army with brand-new rifles probably also thought so.

However, when it came to the real battlefield.

only to find out that they really thought too much.

On the battlefield, equipment is important, but the combat quality of soldiers is even more important.

Even if they are holding the same gun, the peasant army is eager to take ten seconds from pulling the bolt to aiming and firing a shot, and they don't know where the bullets are flying, but the Japanese invaders on the opposite side only need two seconds, and they shoot extremely accurately, even if they don't hit you, they are also shot near your battle position so that you don't dare to raise your head at will, and you don't even dare to aim, think about it, how can that battle be fought?

Even if the firing point of more than 30 light and heavy machine guns, plus five MG42s to help, is not weaker than the opponent at all, not to mention even a few points stronger, the five MG42s that can be divided into three directions with greatly weakened firepower are not enough to support the entire battlefield.

Moreover, the Japanese grenadiers were so terrible that the Japanese troops attacking from the left, center, and right brigades had more than 70 grenadiers, and the grenadiers hidden 600 meters away were like fifty or sixty small mortars, and the light machine guns often did not fire for a minute or two before they had to be moved, otherwise the position they stayed in would be targeted by two or three grenades, and two or three grenades with an explosion power not less than two or three grenades would explode into a sea of fire.

Those who can be machine gun shooters are already the best soldiers in the anti-Japanese salvation army, but there are still five or six light machine guns and machine gun shooters who have been blown to pieces.

You know, it's just a ten-minute battle.

If it weren't for the fact that the heavy machine gun fire point was located far behind, sixty or seventy meters away from the front line, and better fortifications were specially excavated to protect it, it is estimated that the heavy machine guns with weaker mobility would not have escaped the bad luck of being destroyed.

On the other hand, the Japanese had no trenches or mortars, but their machine gunners were extremely cunning, and every thirty seconds of firing they shifted, even if the mortars who were serious about trying to destroy them chased after them, they often could not catch them.

In fact, this is also the experience learned by the 8th Division, which lost its artillery, in the course of the fierce battle of the Great Wall Regiment, otherwise, when the machine gun fire point was destroyed by the Great Wall Regiment, only the rifle remained, then it would be a fart!

The weak must learn, and those who know that they are weak and do not learn will be eliminated by the long river of history.

The 8th Division, which is still alive and kicking, proves that although they are weak, they can also learn.

Therefore, when the first round of fighting was over, the Japanese army, which had thoroughly tested the strength of the "Chinese bandits", did not stop and began the next round of attack.

Sensei said that Tanibe Terube was bullied by a group of Chinese peasant soldiers and his eyes were blue with anger, even ordinary Japanese soldiers were also enthusiastic at this time.

Being bullied by a group of Chinese with superb mountain artillery mortar shooting skills and strong fighting will, even if it is forgotten, who makes the family powerful? But a group of farmers like you dare not to use bean bags as dry food, it is simply unbearable.

The remnants of the Eighth Division held their breath at this time, and played the strong combat effectiveness of the second-line soldiers of the Eighth Division.

The battle went straight to the heat.

Only 20 minutes later, on the left flank of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army position, an infantry squadron attacked the 30-meter area of the trench, and the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army could even clearly see the Japanese yellow panya.

However, as Sun Yongqin said, although the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has only picked up a gun for a few days, its courage cannot be denied.

They were not "bandits", but a group of people who wanted to come to the Japanese for revenge.

If it were a bandit, at this distance, I am afraid that the will to fight would have collapsed a long time ago, and the consequence of turning around and fleeing would naturally be ruthlessly shot by the bullets in the back.

Lee, who was on the front line, was sweating profusely and stiff, and he didn't know how much courage it took to restrain his urge to turn around and flee. At this time, if there is a person around him who takes the lead in running, he, the company commander, may run faster than everyone else.

But the recruits under his command showed unexpected bravery.

Facing the muzzles of the Japanese soldiers' bayonets, the soldiers stood up straight, even if they were pierced through the chest, they still firmly threw out the grenades in their hands.

"Boom, boom"

In front of the position and on the position, grenades were exploding everywhere, some were thrown in by the Japanese, some were thrown out, and some were hit by bullets in the arm and fell into the trenches before they could throw them in their hands.

Outside the trenches and inside the trenches, there were dead and wounded.

Extraordinary courage overcame the balls and fragments of the grenade flying everywhere.

The Japanese infantry squadron was blown back, and the trench was not well left, and at least fifty of Lee's stammering recruit companies were wounded and killed in just two or three minutes.

In a white-knuckle battle in which grenades were thrown at each other, a group of Chinese peasants miraculously won.

Company Commander Li, who also bit his cheeks and threw out at least three grenades, finally understood a truth, in a war, it was a special mother to see who dared to play with his life.

Those who dare to play with their lives may die, but those who dare not will definitely die.

At least, he is still alive after learning to play with his life, and his recruit company, although only 60 percent is left, is still alive.
