The sky was gradually getting dark. The Japanese were not pursuing too fast, and there were basically no casualties along the way. The troops behind the Kuomintang army were firing from 800 meters away. The Chinese soldiers behind them were all tall.

He was taller and taller than the average Japanese who was less than 1.6 meters tall. He disappeared just after crossing the pass. The Japanese chased them hard, running nearly 30 kilometers for most of the day, and they were as tired as dogs. During the pursuit, both sides only needed to enter.

There will be casualties on both sides at 300 meters, so the rear and pursuit forces have been kept at 500 to 800 meters. The Japs' formation is still a platoon combat formation, with fifteen Japs in the first echelon and five Japs in the front.

To clear the way, the two men at the front kept moving from the right to the left, which meant that it was not the two Japs who were always in front, but a detachment of fifteen people who took turns to clear the way. One Japs had a plaster flag hanging on his rifle, and the sergeant

in the middle.

The Japanese infantry training tactics are to break through from the front, and outflank from both wings when blocked. It's the same, but the Chinese can't do this simple crab formation. This is of course also related to the high quality of the Japanese soldiers and the implementation of discipline. In fact, the most important thing is the Japanese soldiers.

The fire support is in place. Overall, the Japanese are a head shorter than the Chinese. That's true, especially for these people from the Northeast. What's annoying is that taller people don't win battles on the battlefield.

There was an uproar on the national army position.

The leading Japanese troops all crossed the pass in the distance. One squadron, more than 200 people, and three small groups of Japanese soldiers!

One of the people who was using binoculars to inspect the dug fortifications on the simple road at the mouth of the road ahead must be the Japanese squadron leader. In his field of vision, he saw a nearly 400-meter pile of earth, which looked a bit like a trench.

The trenches? A short man of 1.6 meters can only see the first trench piled high with a telescope. No matter how disguised it is, the first trench is clearly visible to the eyes of experienced soldiers. The supplementary regiment is behind.

There is no need to camouflage the trenches dug in the natural bush, and there is no need to look out of place in the dark evening light. Of course, the Japanese squadron leader will not be able to see them no matter how tall he grows.

This trench digging method seems simple but quite advanced. It was summed up by the German army after World War I. It just didn’t have a cannon-proof hole. The Northeast Army learned it under the guidance of German military personnel when it bought the German Krupp cannon in 1932.

The trenches can also protect against tanks, but they need to be dug two meters wide, not to mention that no Japanese tanks have been seen yet.

About 400 meters away from the first row of positions, the Japanese army began to organize a little to prepare for the attack. Even a small group of Japanese soldiers could not deploy their formation. A few grenade mortars dared to attack the standard trenches. They were really not afraid of death. I thought

This is still the soft persimmon of the National Army that was defeated in Shanghai. It is actually quite embarrassing. There are paddy fields on both sides of the road and it is difficult to form a formation. The attack from the woods on both sides is fast, but the attack will be slower after dark. What is even more crazy is the machine gun.

There is no way to set up a position. You can't set up a machine gun in a paddy field. The trajectory of a 300-meter machine gun bullet will drop by 20 centimeters. You can't hit your own people in the back when charging. The mountains here are too far away.

The artillery fire was not accurate, and the terrain was frustrating. However, we had been chasing for thirty kilometers in this kind of terrain. It looked like a charging Chinese soldier was about to escape again.

The mortars were driven directly at the mouth of the mountain, and six groups of machine guns followed the infantry. When the infantry entered 300 meters, they set up about 300 meters away from the enemy. The grenade launchers followed even closer, and the grenade launchers were set up at 200 meters.

Forget about the textbook attack on both wings...the Chinese will run away as soon as they hit.

"Silly modified machine"

The high-spirited squadron leader, who was covered in mud, pulled out his command knife and pointed forward. Amidst the shouts of "The board is here, the board is here", a small group of Japanese soldiers began to charge forward with their backs bent, and the reserve group began to block the battle.

The squadron leader's idea is actually very simple. These guys will run away again in half an hour, so the troops invested are a small team instead of using a detachment to test first.

With a "boom" sound, one of the three Japs' mortars began to test fire. The Japs crooked the machine gun and began to fire at three points on both sides of the position. They could not hit the front.

It's all the devil's back.

There was no one in the first trench, one platoon ran away!

It was so shameless. I threw a lot of clothes discarded by the people who just passed by on the pile of dirt. A row of cats was in the second trench, so I could just observe the Japanese attack route.

Soon, this small group of Japanese soldiers crossed the first gap of 200 meters that the national army prepared to block the tanks from blowing up, and did not encounter any counterattack!

Is there no one there? Empty city plan? Na Li? The squadron leader muttered.

At 150 meters and 100 meters, when the Japanese reached the second gap, the two mortars adjusted their range and angle to stabilize their trajectory and began to accurately hit the trenches, extending to both sides. Six groups of 12 grenadiers followed the infantry.

At 200 meters, they were set up in three rows and began to test fire. Then they started shooting, and then stopped after four rounds.

Stop shooting and wait for the sergeant to assess the war situation. It was almost dark. Through the telescope, I saw clothes being blown up from the trenches. The squadron leader shouted: The medicine is fine, there are still results, and he immediately ordered the second team to follow. There are no arrangements.

The leading soldiers conducted reconnaissance from both sides, and at noon the news from the aircraft reconnaissance was that the national army had retreated across the board.

The first Japanese attacking team was less than 80 meters away from the trenches. There was no counterattack and the sound of artillery stopped.

A row of officers and soldiers ducked up to the first trench. The communication trench was slanted so that the Japanese could not see it. The squadron leader ordered the bombardment to stop. The imperial artillery shells were not blown by the strong wind. Only two machine guns were still firing to both sides.

Three consecutive shots were fired at the pile of soil. The attacking Japanese did not relax their vigilance and aimed their guns at the trenches.

The Ministry hoped to find the target, and according to the instructions, it would accelerate to 50 meters and occupy the position in about ten seconds. Due to the formation, the Japanese infantry tried to shoot at the national army positions on both sides of the road, but there was still no return fire, and there was no shooting boundary at this time.

Problem, but we can only attack from the front. No one wants to go down to the paddy field.

60 meters, 50 meters, the time for the Japanese to accelerate came, and the crooked handle rang out untimely, click, click, click... and began to suppress the two-wing positions. Behind the position, a Browning pistol rang out, click.

, the sound of gunfire is an order, regimental commander Nana Ke

Everyone in the company heard the sound of my beloved little pistol clearly. The soldiers who often followed the regiment leader often heard the sound of the gun. Two companies in one battalion fired nearly two hundred rifles at the same time. A company in the Northeast Army nearly

There are more than two hundred people, but now the two in a row add up to less than two hundred.

Li Yuan placed the rifle in the small notch of the trench, quickly pulled the bolt and fired only five shots, knocking down five Japanese soldiers. After all, the first and second companies, as the main force, faced the Japanese soldiers, and thirty of the fifty Japanese soldiers fell.

There are many, and the enemy and ourselves form an inverted T shape. The Japanese who rush in the middle are luckier.

The Japs in front fell down, and in the most heavily bombed area, more than a dozen Japs crawled in the mud and used the Japs' corpses as cover and began to fight back. The second and third rows had their battle lines stretched far apart. It was normal for them to miss at a distance of 200 meters.

Killing and wounding more than 30 Japanese soldiers with a thousand rounds of bullets was a great gain.

The Japanese didn't care about the mud on the ground. They lay down on the ground without being shot and started to fight back. The national army fired at different speeds. After the first round of five rifle rounds, they pressed the bullet and pulled the bolt and started firing freely. Li Yuan was the first to press in the five rounds.

Fire the bullet, pull down the scale to 200 meters

, gunshots rang out, and the firepower began to extend to the Japanese grenadiers about 200 meters away, otherwise they would be bombed immediately. Nearly a hundred guns in a row of the first company and the second company were all fired at the grenadiers who were firing, even though they were 200 meters away.

range hit target

The possibility was very low, but the overwhelming rain of bullets could not be suppressed. Most of the 12 grenade launchers, 24 soldiers and the squad leader were immediately wiped out. Nearly half of those who were shot did not die immediately. There was a scream and so on. Three hundred people had to be hit.

The machine gunner who is about 3 meters long has to watch.

As luck would have it, the Japanese grenadier reacted very quickly before he was hit. When he saw the gunshots in the trench, he just fired one round of the grenade. Most of the twelve black grenades flew into the trench, and the National Army

From time to time, people in the position were killed and injured by grenades.

Li Yuan fired five more bullets but only hit two machine gunners. The casualties were unknown. He missed the Mauser 1903 rifle with a sniper scope when he was in the Northeastern Army.

Hitting a Japanese machine gunner at 300 meters is purely due to his good character and excellent quality. It is actually easy to understand that he is excellent. There are many guns. For the Japanese mortar, it is better to forget it at more than 1,000 meters.

The Japs' second team had just arrived about 300 meters behind the airport team and were meeting up with the machine gun team of the first team. There was an ambush! Retreat quickly, the Japs are not stupid either.

The Nationalist infantry was still firing freely, the Japanese mortars were still firing, and people were constantly being blown out of the trenches in the Nationalist positions.

The Nationalist army had artillery, but they did not fight back. The Nationalist army had machine guns, but there was no movement.

The losses in the frontal attack were too great, so we had to go back and reorganize. No matter how angry the Japanese squadron leader was, the first wave of attacks still retreated, and there was no chance to take back the Japanese corpses on the battlefield.

Li Yuan's row of machine guns did not fire, and the semi-automatic rifles fired at full burst. They were all excellent shooters. After killing the grenadier, they withdrew to the second trench. They were not shot, but two of them were still hit by bullets.

The Japanese infantry were all annihilated, and all the Japanese infantry were injured.

The wounded grenadier soldiers no longer pose much of a threat. The private gunners went to roll call one by one. Only the mortars were still ringing. The first round of the attack ended hastily. The Japs suffered more than 70 casualties. Overall, the casualties this time were more than

The ratio is about 1:6, and the reserve group is mainly injured.

Gunshots were heard from time to time in the trenches to the north, and the grenadier soldiers were still alive. The second company commander's order was just to practice.

Replenish the regiment.

Chen Bing, the deputy commander of the third regiment who returned from the 109th Division, stayed at the regiment headquarters and explained the previous battle in Songhu to the reserve commander Wu: the division headquarters suffered heavy casualties, the Japanese attacked with fierce artillery fire, individual soldiers fired with high accuracy, and most importantly, there were aircraft

During the bombing, the national troops did not coordinate with each other, and some troops fought independently.

In his anger, he was dismissive of other national armies. He didn’t feel anything special about the results of the reserve group. They were all Northeastern troops. He was very aware of the combat effectiveness of his brother’s troops. Although most of the Northeastern Army’s weapons were used without resistance before the Northeastern Army entered the pass.

It was left to the Japanese who were angry under the orders, but the family wealth was still there.
