Chapter 756: Change of Plan
Under the guarantee of Dashan Yan, the tired and numb more than 20,000 Japanese troops finally had a little spirit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But it didn't last long, and the physical exhaustion overwhelmed this spirit, and the more than 20,000 Japanese troops became numb again.
At this moment, the screams of three flares suddenly reached their ears, and then three violent explosions sounded in the air.
There are 20,000 devils, except for a few who hold their heads high and then see all this with a face full of incomprehension.
More than eighty percent of the devils remained, as if none of this had happened, still with their heads down, numb and mechanically hurrying forward.
Dashan Yan and the chief of staff must have belonged to the Japanese army, which was less than twenty percent, and watched the three signal flares explode into three brilliant fireworks with their heads held high, and they did not react for a long time.
"Woooooo A series of piercing screams reached their ears again, awakening them from their doubts.
An artillery staff officer next to the two of them reacted first, his face changed, and while he was about to rush out of the official road, he exclaimed loudly: "Baga, it's an artillery bombardment, a large-scale artillery bombardment, everyone quickly hide and protect the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff." ”
After all, the Japanese troops around Dashan Rock were the elite troops of the Manchurian Army, and although they were also tired, they still reacted immediately.
Quickly took off Dashanyan from his war horse, and then in a group of several people, he carried Dashanyan and the chief of staff to both sides of the official road. I plan to leave the official road as far away as possible while the cannonballs have not yet flown over.
It is true that the shells with the screaming sound have not yet landed and exploded, but the Liaodong army hiding in the trenches, like ground rats, have come out of the trenches one after another.
Then, under the gaze of the Japanese army full of shock, they quickly set up light and heavy machine guns and set fire to the devils.
The gunshots rang out, and most of the devils on the official road who still hadn't reacted were like live targets, and they were beaten into a hornet's nest by bullets in pieces.
When the sound of gunfire quickly enveloped the entire battlefield, hundreds of shells finally smashed on the official road and exploded.
After a series of violent explosions, nearly 10 kilometers of official roads where dense devil soldiers had gathered were immediately blown out of hundreds of no-man's lands.
Coupled with the results achieved by the infantry, in just a few seconds, the devils fell three or four thousand people.
The battlefield, which stretches for nearly ten kilometers, is full of corpses of devils who have been killed.
It was only at this time that most of the devils finally reacted, and then fled from the official road with screams full of fear.
However, they forgot that there were still tens of thousands of Liaodong troops waiting for them with weapons on the side of the official road.
As long as they are still standing, no matter which side of the official road they flee for, they are in the best range of light and heavy machine guns, and even rifles.
Therefore, the Liaodong Army of the four regiments was full of strength, holding weapons, and struck wherever there were many devils.
Soon, thousands of devils fell under the dense guns of the Liaodong Army.
It was only then that the attacked devil fully understood that only by lying on the ground could he dodge the bullets whizzing around him.
As a result, most of the devils lay on the ground in order to survive regardless of whether they were still on the official road or not.
In the process, exhaustion and numbness invisibly became the deadliest killers of devils.
If it is placed in normal times, it will take up to two seconds for the devils to fall to the ground. At this moment, it takes three seconds to react quickly, and four or five seconds to react slower.
In addition, there are still many numb devils on the official road who are still standing in place, looking around and at a loss.
This gave tens of thousands of Liaodong troops the opportunity to go through a round of slaughter.
The dense bullets, like an impenetrable storm of steel, quickly swept towards the devil. In just a few seconds, more than 1,000 devils were killed and injured.
In particular, the devil soldiers who are still stunned on the official road are simply the live targets of the Liaodong Army, and they are accurate one by one.
When light and heavy machine guns and rifles were wantonly slaughtering devils in the hands of the Liaodong Army, a second round of shells mixed with a large number of mortar shells roared and exploded on the official road.
Because the devil was already lying on the ground, the results of ordinary mortar shells and mountain artillery shells were significantly reduced by more than half.
However, the damage brought by heavy artillery to the devil has not diminished at all.
Because the heavy artillery mainly relied on a powerful shock wave to kill and injure the enemy, although the devil was lying on the ground and centered on the impact point, the Japanese troops within a radius of more than ten or so meters around were still killed and injured and lost their combat effectiveness.
Of course, in the violent explosion, the gunfire that enveloped the entire battlefield still did not mean to stop at all.
Seeing that the devil was only thinking about running for his life because of numbness and exhaustion, he had no intention of fighting back. The officers and men of the four regiments immediately seized the opportunity and desperately fired S bullets at the devil.
Even if most of the devils at this time were lying on the ground, under the shroud of such dense bullets, the blind cat could kill and injure the rifle devil if he hit the mouse.
"It was nothing short of a massacre. Commander, are the devils all stupid, why don't they know to fight back. Yuan Lei stared at the battlefield and said with a shocked expression.
"It's not that he's stupid, it's that the devil is powerless to fight back. If we are allowed to travel for several days without rest, we will only be slaughtered after a sudden attack. Yang Xingguo replied with a serious face.
Of course, although Yang Xingguo's answer was high-sounding, he was actually shocked in his heart.
To be honest, he didn't expect that the tired and numb devil would be so unbeaten. After being suddenly attacked, the combat effectiveness that could be exerted was less than 20% of the usual, and it was completely in the posture of being slaughtered.
Since the devil is so unbeatable, can he let the troops attack in advance. The calm devils haven't started to fight back yet, and they directly kill ↑ Guandao and strangle them together.
At that time, the Liaodong Army was full of physical strength and high morale, and the Japanese army did not even have the physical strength to fight bayonets, and then their morale was low. In this case, even if you fight with the devil with a bayonet, it will be a one-sided massacre.
If you follow the original plan and kill the devils with cannons and light and heavy machine guns as much as possible, after a long time, it is inevitable that the devils will react and start to fight back. Even if the devil is very tired and numb, he can't shoot back accurately. But the devil is also equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, and he doesn't need too good marksmanship at all, and a shuttle of bullets sweeps over, even if a blind cat dies a mouse, it can cause a lot of casualties to the troops.
Thinking of this, Yang Xingguo immediately made the decision to change the battle plan.
Seeing that the third round of shells from the artillery had already smashed on the battlefield and exploded, Yang Xingguo decisively ordered: "Chief of Staff Yuan, inform the artillery, stop the shelling after five rounds of artillery fire, and directly signal the attack, and before the devils start to counterattack, the infantry rushed up, strangled with them, and fought bayonets."
