Chapter 48: Landing Defensive Battle (2)

At more than ten o'clock, the first round of Japanese landing operations began, dozens of fishing boats arrived at the river embankment at the same time, and then, hundreds of devil soldiers jumped directly into the water from the boats with the 38 big covers. After jumping into the water, they did not rush to the river beach, but built a line of defense next to the boats. They aimed their guns at the position where the machine gun company was located, and one by one made a posture of strict defense to prevent the cadet army from launching a counter-charge at this time.

The first trench guarded by the machine gun company is still about 150 meters away from the river, and this distance is the direction where the machine gun can give full play to its firepower characteristics, but Wu Gang's original intention is to give full play to the firepower advantage of the machine gun, and if he wants to fight, he will teach the devil a painful lesson, so he did not rush to fire when he saw this, but instead pressed his hand and made a gesture of calming down. The machine gunners of the Cadet Army are all strictly selected, and their psychological quality is particularly good, so although the devil is close at hand, many machine gunners feel a lot of psychological pressure, but no one shoots indiscriminately because of this. They clung to the handle of their guns, their right index fingers firmly against the trigger, their eyes narrowed, ready for battle.

The closer he got to the other side, the more nervous Yamaikegaki became. His telescope barely left his eyes, and through the telescope he could see the situation of the defenders on the river beach, and his heart beat faster and faster. The shelling just now was effective in destroying the defenders' positions, but the barrels of the machine guns that poked out of the bunkers one after another showed that the defenders had not suffered much damage just now. In some floating soil, one camouflage helmet after another is quietly peeping, all of which make the devils who are about to launch the first round of attacks feel unprecedented pressure. The 106th Division has fought against the Cadet Army, and most of the devils have already seen the power of the Cadet Army. No matter how much they usually belittle the cadet army, at this time, no one dares to report such an attitude. For the Japanese, it is a great honor to defeat the student army and kill a student soldier, and it is precisely because of this expectation that the psychology of these devils is very complicated, they not only hope to fight with the student army, but also hope that the student army will be evacuated as soon as possible, so that they can empty the chance of the white wolf.

When Nakajima put Yamaikegaki in charge of commanding the first round of attacks, Yamaikegaki was in a rather complicated mood. Of course, at this moment, compared with himself at the time of the Battle of Nanjing, he is much more humble in mentality. He knew that being able to be responsible for the first round of attacks was the trust that the division commander had in him, and this was not an honor that everyone could have. However, if the offense fails, or even something that can't be managed, it means that his career is over.

"Now, I have to fight hard!" Yamachigaki said this to himself in his heart, and then, he began to look for some reason to comfort himself, and after calculation, he felt that if he went all out, the probability of victory was still very high—the entire Hukou was only one brigade of the Zhina Army, and even if the Zhina Army of one brigade was all pressed on the Shizhongshan position, it would be impossible to completely suppress its vanguard troops. And as long as he succeeds in establishing a beachhead, then he will be considered to have successfully completed the task.

More fishing boats reached the embankment, and more devils disembarked from the boats, and then began to charge.

In the observation post of the position where the machine gun company was located, "One hundred and twenty meters!" One hundred meters" was gradually reported, and all the machine gunners opened their eyes wide and pricked up their ears, just waiting for Wu Gang to give an order.

Wu Gang had a cigarette in his mouth, he suddenly took two puffs violently, and when the observation post shouted "sixty meters", he suddenly spit out the half-burned cigarette and shouted: "Hit!" Immediately, he pulled the trigger first. Da ......" The gunfire rang out like beans, and nearly 100 machine guns opened fire at the same time, which was no less than the scale of more than 1,000 people firing guns at the same time. Gunshots rang out, and the devil officer in the Japanese reunion queue immediately gave the order to lie down. However, this river beach has been repaired by the cadets, and there is no existence to hide for a long time, so even if almost all the devils immediately lay down, more than 100 people were still hit, screamed and fell to the ground, and then closed their eyes and kicked their legs, and then settled the account.

Although he had the intention to organize troops to launch a decisive charge, sacrificing some soldiers in exchange for space, the bullets fired from the opposite side were too dense, and at this moment, all the devils who dared to stand up were a dead end, and they were often hit by several or even a dozen bullets at the same time, and his body was like a broken plastic bag leaking blood everywhere, so he could only think about it like this, and he couldn't put this brave idea into practice. The ensuing bullets pressed the Japanese landing force to the ground on the river beach, and the devil soldiers who were still on the fishing boats were mercilessly slaughtered.

It's a massacre, a row of machine-gun bullets swept over, even if those devils lay in the cabin with lightning speed, but the wooden cabin couldn't resist the invasion of bullets at all, so those devils were often hit by bullets that passed through the wood, and then they lay there forever, either screaming and screaming in pain, or they just closed their eyes and kicked their legs, and stayed there completely.

The original plan of Nakajima was that these fishing boats were to be used repeatedly to cross a sufficient number of troops and completely threaten the flanks of Madang Fortress. But now, dozens of boats are crowded together, and nearly half of the devils are suppressed to death, and they don't even have a chance to get off the boat, so the return of these fishing boats seems to be far away.

Standing on a high ground about 500 meters away from the riverside, Nakajima Kenmura looked at the opposite side with a telescope, and saw the tongues of fire spraying wantonly on the opposite side, and saw the forward troops that were suppressed to death, his face instantly changed color, and the elegance and calmness that the "Fox of Long Island" should have was lost, and he couldn't think of a way to crack it for a while.

The opposite branch of the Chinese Army was only one brigade, and now there should be no more than one regiment defending in front of the Japanese landing force, but it was the students of this regiment who firmly held the position near the river at Shizhong Mountain, and even the Japanese army had three times the strength of the enemy, so it was impossible to give full play to its numerical superiority.

In the face of the dense firepower composed of nearly 100 machine guns, at this moment, even if 3,000 devils passed, it was believed that they would not be able to advance an inch.

Wu Gang personally operated a machine gun, and at this moment he had already begun to replace the third barrel. He was quite satisfied with the previous shooting, only five minutes of intensive fire suppression, at least more than 300 devils were killed, and more devils were suppressed to death, according to this situation, if the Japanese were so capable, then in the case of sufficient ammunition, their 123 regiment alone could firmly hold this place for a few days or even ten days.

"Brothers, you played well, now pause, I want to see, the little devil still dares to launch this kind of attack!" After replacing the barrel and replacing the magazine, Wu Gang said loudly.

The gunfire on the position suddenly thinned out, and then fell completely silent.

Wang Jinyu is a native of Guangzhou, and he has only been in the army for a little more than half a year, and he has only served as a machine gunner for more than a month. In his usual training, Wang Jinyu achieved very good results, and he was one of the few "King Kong" class machine gunners who could use machine guns to shoot rifles. But today, perhaps for the first time shooting at a living person, what made him ashamed was that he couldn't put down a devil after firing two magazines.

Wang Jinyu was surrounded by his cousin Wang Jinfeng, who enlisted in the army two months earlier than him. Wang Jinfeng's usual training results are not very good, but in the round of shooting just now, he knocked down three devils in a row, making him shake immediately. When the order for a ceasefire came, Wang Jinfeng easily changed the barrel of the gun, and couldn't help but say to Wang Jinyu: "Jin Yu, how is it?" How many were killed? Then, he stretched out three fingers in his right hand and said proudly: "I killed three, hehe, the first devil got a headshot!" "They're so close to each other, so they can see each other's results. Wang Jinyu knew that Jin Feng was deliberately angry with himself, if it was in normal times, he would definitely ridicule each other and return the favor with the other party's usual training results. But now, because his record is really inferior to others, he can only hold back and not speak, but he is holding back his strength in his heart, and he has to kill four devils in the next round of shooting.

Wang Jinfeng was still ridiculing his cousin, and Wu Gang's order to fire came. The ceasefire just now gave the Japanese army a chance to regain its vigor. Yamachigaki lay on the beach to convey the order, and soon organized a death squad of more than 300 people, these more than 300 devils slowly climbed together, and then jumped up, shouting and launching a decisive reunion.

The defensive firepower of the defenders was so strong that Nakajima and Yamachi expected, however, the Japanese have not lacked warriors who sacrificed their lives for His Majesty the Emperor since ancient times, and under the bewitchment of Yamachi, the Japanese army launched a charge again, with more than 300 devils charging from the middle, and the other devils followed left and right, and there was a great sense of breaking through the first line of defense of the Scholar Army.

Wu Gang was very confident in the firepower of the machine gun company, and he was now worried that the frenzied devils would launch an artillery battle regardless of their own casualties, in that case, although the Japanese casualties would definitely be greater, they would definitely be exhausted. It's actually nothing for the whole regiment to do nothing, but if it leads to the fall of Shizhongshan's position and the subsequent loss of the lake, then this crime is something he is unwilling to face. While waiting for the Japanese to launch a second attack, Wu Gang silently blessed the Japanese from indiscriminate shelling, and now it seems that his prayers have worked, and the Japanese attack again, while the Japanese artillery continues to fall silent. For him, who is desperate, there is nothing more gratifying for him - "Brothers, fight!" ”
