Chapter 448: I can only carry it hard
After seeing the wonderful performance of the special operations detachment on the battlefield, Xu Youchun, the commander of the Fifth Regiment, was shocked and decisively ordered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Learn from the special operations detachment, don't be stupid and wait to shoot in a place and wait for death. All move, move immediately after a few shots, and don't let the Japanese target you.
As the battle continued, under the repeated attack of more than 50 field guns, the heavy machine guns provided fire cover by the Japanese suffered heavy losses.
In each round of shell explosions, up to ten heavy machine guns were destroyed.
With such a high rate of loss, the Japanese army could not withstand consumption even if it was equipped with multiple machine guns.
As he fought, Xu Youchun, the head of the Fifth Regiment, felt that the heavy machine gun bullets flying above his head seemed to be a lot less.
By this time, the Japanese army had lost more than 1,000 men by nearly 4,000 attacking troops.
Although the losses were great, they still did not have the slightest intention of retreating.
stepped on the corpses of his comrades who died in front of him, and continued to attack forward without fear of death.
"Commander Xu, the Japanese army is almost fifty meters in front of the formation, and the supporting firepower is not as good as before, you can adjust the deployment and fight the Japanese army head-on, killing and wounding them as much as possible." ****, who also pays attention to the battle situation, reminded him very timely.
Xu Youchun was stunned for a moment, then reacted suddenly, and ordered loudly: "Don't even throw grenades...... Heavy machine guns and Japanese heavy machine guns fired at each other, suppressing them with firepower. Light machine guns and riflemen, shooting the Japanese troops in front, approached with grenades. ā
The total number of heavy machine guns captured by the five regiments was more than thirty, although it did not reach the number of Japanese troops.
But because the fifth regiment was on the defensive side, it had a terrain advantage. In addition, the Japanese army had to face the shells falling overhead at any time. After a duel shot, the two sides actually fought a draw.
Seeing that the Japanese heavy machine gun fire was all attracted by the heavy machine guns on the defensive line, the machine gunners and riflemen who did not have smoke to block their vision immediately opened fire on the Japanese troops who were close at hand.
In particular, the bullets fired by hundreds of special combat personnel are not an exaggeration to describe them as bullets biting flesh.
In front of the battle, as long as the Japanese soldiers who were targeted by them fired, there must be a few bloody holes in these Japanese immediately.
The Japanese army, which was able to continue to advance under the huge casualties just now, was like hitting an iron wall formed by bullets at this time, and the Japanese army could not rush through it no matter how much they rushed.
"Won, we won this blocking battle......" Xu Youchun couldn't help but say with a long sigh of relief.
By the time these words were spoken, the Japanese again lost one or two dozen heavy machine guns.
The five regiments of heavy machine guns, which were able to fight a tie just now, were gradually able to suppress the Japanese heavy machine guns.
In some cases, several heavy machine guns were even detached to fire at the Japanese attacking troops.
On the position of the Fifth Regiment, the special combat personnel and ordinary officers and men who did not take into account it also fought more and more fiercely.
The Japanese army attacked the position, and the commander of the Japanese division, who witnessed the whole battle, was already dumbfounded at this time, and could hardly believe his eyes.
The chief of staff on the side reminded in a very timely manner: "Division commander, the firepower of the defenders is too strong, and there are artillery that can be used, and the troops can't rush in." ā
"Now that the order to retreat is given, many heavy machine guns and attacking troops can still be retreated. If we continue to fight, none of these people will survive, and they will all die here. ā
The division commander with a dignified face had to admit: "Conspiracy, this must be the conspiracy of the Liaodong Army!" The Liaodong Army has been prepared here for a long time, and they are waiting for us to attack here, and they will kill and wound us in large numbers during the attack, it must be so. ā
After finishing speaking, the division commander with a solemn face immediately ordered with reluctance and helplessness.
"Retreat, the attacking forces will immediately retreat...... Heavy machine guns were also immediately transferred. ā
"As soon as the attacking forces retreated, we withdrew from here. More than half of the troops were lost, and the two artillery wings were gone, and we were no match for the Liaodong Army at all, and we could not capture Liaoyang City. ā
The Japanese army's nearly 4,000 attacking troops, who received the order to retreat and evaded the pursuit of the five regiments, did not even have 1,000 men.
Of the more than 100 heavy machine guns, only the last 38 were still usable in the end.
In the face of this result, the division commander could be said to have wanted to cry without tears.
Because he suddenly discovered that the Liaodong Army had not killed many of the troops of one of his divisions, and he had already lost more than half of them, and he didn't even have the ability to protect himself.
At this time, the division commander subconsciously thought of retreating.
But before he could say anything, a Shao Zuo rushed towards him with a panic.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Liaodong Army, a large number of Liaodong Army appeared behind us, with a total strength of at least five thousand people. Our back road was blocked......"
The division commander frowned and said to himself: "Sure enough, this is a conspiracy of the Liaodong Army. ā
"Take down our artillery wing, force us to attack the artillery positions, kill us in large numbers, and then gather and annihilate us here. Ring after ring, it was definitely a very well-thought-out conspiracy. ā
The chief of staff next to him directly reminded with an anxious face: "Division commander, the back road is blocked, we don't have artillery, and even the last few dozen heavy machine guns are left." We must take advantage of the fact that the Liaodong Army, which has cut off our rear route, has not yet gained a firm foothold and immediately break through the encirclement. Otherwise, when the Liaodong Army repairs the defensive line, we just can't run away if we think about it. ā
"Yo Xi, the chief of staff has said a lot, you must break through immediately!" The division commander with a dignified face directly agreed.
After frowning and thinking for more than ten seconds, he decisively ordered: "Chief of Staff, concentrate all the light and heavy machine guns of the division and regiment, and break through immediately......"
"As soon as the breakthrough is opened, the rest of the division and regiment will quickly leave here and retreat in the direction of the general headquarters, and we will not fight Liaoyang City......"
Soon, a reinforced infantry brigade of the Japanese army, reinforced to more than thirty heavy machine guns and sixty or seventy light machine guns, rushed back.
When it came to his own life and death, the division commander was also very nervous.
As soon as the breakout troops set off, the division commander raised his binoculars and stared closely at the breakout troops that were gradually moving away.
"Division commander, the Japanese breakout troops have come up, and the situation seems to be a little different?" Wang Hu, who was building a position with his subordinates, had just finished making a sandbag to block bullets, and the slightly nervous voice of the guards reached his ears.
Wang Hu, who heard the three different words, immediately threw down the shovel and raised the telescope handed over by the guard.
Soon, Wang Hu's brows furrowed, and he said to himself: "It's indeed a little different, an infantry brigade is actually equipped with more than a hundred light and heavy machine guns. If it weren't for the commander's special reinforcement of light and heavy machine guns for us, we would have caught up with one of our divisions. ā
Chief of Staff Yuan Lei's brows also furrowed, and he said in a deep voice to Wang Hu: "There are not many Japanese soldiers, but they are equipped with more light and heavy machine guns than us. Our positions have not yet been repaired, and we are carrying them head-on, and even if we block their attack, we will suffer heavy losses. ā
Wang Hu frowned and thought about it before replying: "There is no other way than to carry it hard?" ā
"Order the troops, be ready for battle. It's an uphill battle. As long as we repel the attack of the Japanese infantry brigade, the rest of the battle will be much easier. (To be continued.) )
