Despite being a wing commander of a dignified army. 【. He must not be complacent at this moment. But Asakawa Osa still said to the communication staff officer beside him with a smile on his face: "Inform Your Excellency, the commander of the division, that the vanguard of our 44th Wing has broken through the outer position of Baoqing and is preparing to launch a full-scale attack on Baoqing County. ”
"Please rest assured that the 44th Wing will definitely take Baoqing County in the shortest possible time in accordance with the requirements of His Excellency the division commander, and open the way for the whole division to go north. Our 44th Wing will use the blood of the Manchurians in Baoqing City to wash away the shame they once brought to the 44th Wing. ”
"In addition, urge the main forces of the wing, so that they do not grind and hurry, and seize the time to join the vanguard team. Thirty kilometers away, even if you climb, you should climb over. Tell the young masters of the cavalry squadron and let them leave a squad to take care of the wounded, and the others will give me all the shells left on the front line of the Red Mountain. The emperor ** people are not those young master soldiers in the West who can't fight without horses. ”
Compared to Asakawa Tsiji, he was a little unable to hold back his breath and breathe out of the trace of excitement. Qingchuan Shaozuo, who was standing beside him, looked at the excitement that was inadvertently revealed on his face, although he was well concealed, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart: "The dignified Japanese Imperial Army, when it fell to the point of defeating the opponent's small resistance, it was proud." ”
"And, it just looks like it's crushing the opponent's resistance. The military flag of the brigade has not yet been planted in the opponent's position, and it remains to be said whether it really crushed the opponent's resistance. Isn't this victory of the wing captain a little premature? If things don't go as expected, isn't the co-captain's face a big shame? ”
Just looking at the slight smugness on the face of the wing captain, knowing the temper of His Excellency the wing captain, he hesitated for a moment, but still swallowed the words of persuasion, or put all his thoughts on the battle in front of him.
Unlike Asakawa Tsiji, when he saw that the attacking troops in front of him had already touched the distance of the opponent's forward trench only 30 meters, it seemed that he could break through into the opponent's defensive position with one blow. Looking at the shape in front of him, Qingchuan Shaozo suddenly had an unusually familiar feeling. I always feel as if I was passing by there.
Qingchuan Shaozuo's memory was still good, and he immediately remembered that he had seen a similar scene there. During the Battle of Qunce Mountain last year, he had already touched the edge of the opponent's trench. Just when he thought he was about to break through the opponent's defense, he suddenly changed. The scene was almost exactly the same as it is now. The difference is that the opponent has not reacted at the moment, and he has not played the grenade rain that has become his nightmare last year.
Qingchuan Shaozo has a deep memory of the almost endless rain of grenades in Qunce Mountain last year. At that time, if it weren't for the fact that he treated his subordinates quite well on weekdays, his subordinates desperately rescued each other. He looked like a hedgehog with grenade shrapnel in his back flying everywhere, and he had already died in Qunce Mountain. Where can you take advantage of the opportunity of the re-formation of the 44th Wing to be promoted to a level and become the captain?
At present, the opponent's deliberate show of weakness still wants to adopt the tactic they used last year at Qunce Mountain, when the firepower gap is large, to put the Imperial Army's attacking troops in, and use the tactic that can be used to rain grenades from all over the world, so as to effectively kill and injure the Imperial soldiers?
Sure enough, the exhibition of the follow-up war did not surprise Qingchuan Shaozuo. It is almost exactly the same as the encounter in the bloody battle that left a deep impression on Qingchuan Shaozo last year. Just as Asakawa Osa's words to report the results of the battle to the division headquarters fell, the attacking troops, who had already rushed to the opponent's blocking position, were smashed down by a rain of grenades fired by the opponent.
The grenades fired by the opponent seemed to be endless, and the attacking troops forcibly attacked several times, but they were all smashed down with grenades. Among them, the officers suffered heavy casualties, and after several waves of attacks, only a few Cao Chang were left who commanded the attacking troops in front.
The scene in front of him made the face of Asakawa Iji Daisa, who had already reported the victory in advance, obviously quite unbearable, although he did not have a big mouth like he did with the cavalry squadron leader on the front line of Red Mountain, but this face collapsed in an instant. Qingchuan Shaozuo's face over there was not much better.
In fact, the Japanese army was fully equipped, and every soldier was equipped with a steel helmet. Except for the unlucky ones who were directly hit by a grenade, most of them basically didn't die all at once. However, it was impossible for the Japanese army to equip the whole body with steel plates, and although the fragments formed by the volley explosion of the grenade could not bring much damage to the deadliest head, it was a different matter for the body that was not protected from the whole body.
The first wave of Japanese soldiers who rushed forward, except for a few who were very unlucky and were directly hit by grenades, were actually not many killed on the spot, only a third. According to this casualty figure, for the Japanese army, which has always been tenacious, it simply cannot reach the point of making it incapacitated.
Despite the small number of direct deaths, the number of casualties caused was considerable. Touching the front of the opponent's position, the first wave of attack troops of the two squads was replenished, and in the rain of grenades thrown by the opponent, in addition to the direct death. Some of them were pierced by the fragments of grenades like honeycomb coals.
And the opponent's grenades seem to be thrown endlessly, almost endlessly. And most of them are all grenades that explode in the air, and the shrapnel that cannot be scattered and can kill people, and there are almost no dead ends. Thoroughly gave the vanguard squadron a pleasant shrapnel bath.
On the battlefield, especially in the face of the Japanese army, which can fight with a casualty rate of up to 80 percent, but can still hold on without collapsing. Death is not a terrible term. But looking at the comrades around him, the whole body was pierced like honeycomb coal by grenades, and they couldn't be bandaged because they were too close to the opponent's position, and they were killed alive because of excessive blood loss, so the effect was different.
In fact, the Japanese army was not unaware of the tactic often used by Yang Zhen's subordinates to release the attacking troops to the distance of the grenades and then use the grenade rain to cover the formation of the Japanese attack troops as a whole. But sometimes it is often this simple tactic that makes the Japanese army never find an effective way to deal with it.
Yang Zhen's troops dug trenches and communication trenches, all of which were required to be at least half a man deep. If conditions permit, many times it is even dug to a depth of one person, and built into a step style inside. At the same time, a large number of anti-artillery holes, partitions, and edges are usually built in the trenches.
This layout can not only ensure that the front-line troops are provided with sufficient cover so that they are not killed by a large number of Japanese artillery fire, but also ensure that the troops in the trenches are not killed by Japanese machine-gun fire when they are moving.
The most important thing is that the biggest advantage of this kind of fortification is that, when needed, except for leaving one or two observation posts to observe the movement of the Japanese army, most people only need to shrink in the trench and pull the grenade assigned to them for two seconds, pause for two seconds, and then throw it with the greatest force. You don't even need to poke your head out, it's quite simple and practical.
In the face of this tactic, even if the Japanese army's marksmanship is accurate, no matter how many sharpshooters there are, you can't do anything if people don't show their heads. And if you want to use grenadiers to hit their trenches, the light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers deployed in the back, plus a large number of sharpshooters, and even mortars are not vegetarian.
Unless the Japanese use heavy artillery to flatten all of their opponents' trenches, or run out of grenades, they have not been able to find any way to deal with this tactic. Today, it is clear that even though the ground has been covered with a thick layer of grenade fragments, there is still no shortage of grenades thrown by the opponent.
Actually, Asakawa Osa is also quite unlucky. He did not know that there was a warehouse of the logistics department of the Jidong Military Region in Baoqing County, and in this warehouse, in addition to a small number of mountain artillery shells, the largest reserves were grenades and mines, and of course, more than 7,000 90-millimeter mortar shells.
Being not in the main operational direction, the warehouse here is actually just a spare one. There is not much ammunition and supplies in reserve. But the largest reserves of them are grenades and mines. Counting all kinds of trip and pressure mines, as well as the most lethal infantry directional mines, there are nearly 100,000 grenades in stock.
In order to strengthen the firepower of the blocking troops, Yang Zhen took all these grenades down. Compared with the standard of four pieces carried by ordinary troops, together with the troops in Baoqing County, there are only 3,000 troops around Baoqing at the moment, and on average, each person can carry at least 30 pieces.
The quantity is sufficient, and it is very convenient to use, so naturally no one will feel distressed when it comes to fighting. Later, Liu Yihu, who could not compete with the Japanese army with heavy weapons, simply gave up face-to-face resistance with the Japanese army. The distance of less than 100 meters is inseparable from fire, and within 30 meters all grenades and submachine guns are greeted, and the nearest is greeted by infantry directional mines.
At the same time, light and heavy machine guns, which were withdrawn to the second-line positions, were specially used to fill the gaps. Anyway, no matter how fierce your Japanese attack is, I have a certain rule. That is, resolutely not to fight with you in a white-knuckle battle, to fight with a rifle machine gun at a distance, and to greet with a grenade mixed with a submachine gun when you are close.
It was this tactic that was a bit of a scoundrel in the eyes of the Japanese army, but it made Asakawa Osa and Aokawa Shozo never come up with a way to deal with it. The successive attacks that followed, without exception, enjoyed the same treatment as the vanguard squadron. Almost all of them were not repulsed, but were blown up by an overwhelming barrage of grenades. This tactic of the opponent made the two people simply at a loss.
You can't just cover every soldier with iron pieces all over his body. Not to mention that there is no place to look for it, but it can be found, if this person is wrapped in iron pieces all over his body, can he still fight, can he still charge? The failure of several charges made Asakawa somewhat regretful. Why did he run out of shells from two infantry guns early, even if he wanted to suppress it with firepower, there was no way to force a breakthrough.
In addition to scolding the opponent for his opponent's seemingly scoundrel tactics, Asakawa Kiji, who was at a loss, almost didn't scold the cavalry on the radio for being slow without horses, and he hadn't delivered the shells for a long time. At the same time, the main force of the wing, which carried mountain artillery, at a distance of thirty kilometers, just couldn't be relied on.
