Chapter 114 Bloody War Old Street 4
In the roar of the twelve-door Type 38 75mm field gun commanded by Ono Nagashima, the Japanese infantry began to enter the old street with neat steps. In addition to the fierce attack on the main street, about two brigades of Japanese soldiers began to climb over the wall and enter the dense houses from the left and right wings of the street.
Hu Zhenglong, who commanded the defensive battle in front of the old street, was stunned when he heard the roar of the military wild artillery and the sharp roar of the ballistics? It seems that my shot is too close, isn't it? Is it possible that I was beaten dumbfounded? Move the artillery into our gun range?
Some of them were frightened and lost the calmness of the soldiers. Matsuda Guosan was enjoying a rare cup of hot tea at this moment. His Excellency the commander of the right guard division made Matsuda Guosan very happy. Although it was very disgraceful to hide in the rear and command the troops by phone, it was relatively safe. Only the real Those who experience the feeling of struggling on the edge of life and death know the value of life. Anyone's life is read without repetition. Matsuda Guosan is very clear about this. The feeling that he may die at any time in the next second makes Matsuda Guosan almost collapse!
Now thinking of Wu Zhaoyi's white brain mixed with blood, Matsuda Guosan is cold all over, as if he was naked [***] shivering in the ice and snow.
On the street of the old street, the Japanese army infantry began to disperse into a scattered formation after entering the street 100 meters. In fact, the old street is only a bluestone road less than seven meters wide and a mile long, which is slightly curved. Generally speaking, it can be forgotten at a glance. The Japanese army knows very well that the Chinese soldiers must have dug a position in the street. The outside is waiting for them, and all they have to do is to break through the [***] block directly after the gunfire. Only the faster they break through the block, the smaller the casualties of the troops.
When the Japanese soldiers filled the street and entered the 200-meter range, Hu Zhenglong personally picked up a Czech-made light machine gun and began to shoot fiercely. Then more than a dozen Maxim machine guns formed two fire nets and shot the Japanese army in the old street.
After the Japanese officers and soldiers who were shot fell to the ground one after another, a roar broke out in the Japanese army. Then the Japanese infantry entered the attack posture. The Japanese soldiers with cold shining bayonets, under the leadership of the officers, howled and rushed to the Chinese garrison's position against the rain of bullets. The bullets fired by Mark Xin's heavy machine gun were given like locusts. The Japanese army attacked head-on, and the Japanese army's offensive formation was scattered in a few seconds. The Japanese soldiers who were shot to the ground were trampled under by the follow-up people. The Japanese soldiers who had just crossed the corpses of their companions were shot to the ground again, and the bodies of the Japanese soldiers were stacked like paving roads.
Many Japanese soldiers were surprised to find that there seemed to be something under their feet? Make it difficult for them to stand firm? A Japanese lieutenant who fell to the ground touched the ground and put it in front of him. It turned out to be a handful of beans? Before the lieutenant studied the purpose of the bean, his forehead was hit by a blood hole by a flying bullet. There was only a thumb-sized bullet in front of his forehead, but the whole back of his head had been blown away by a bullet.
As soon as the feet of the Japanese soldiers who stepped on the corpses of their companions fell to the ground, they would fall to the ground in different postures unprepared. The Chinese soldiers specially picked the fallen Japanese soldiers to fight, one by one! The wide old street has become a massacre site, and two brigades of officers and soldiers have become the best target.
The hopeless Japanese soldiers began to try to rush into the shops on both sides, but what shocked the Japanese soldiers was that the shops on both sides were motionless, whether the doors and windows were motionless? In a panic, the officers and soldiers became targets on the street. Some soldiers even blew up the motionless doors and windows with grenades in despair. As a result, the doors and windows exploded, but they also affected many friendly officers and soldiers nearby.
When the merchants' doors and windows were blown up, the officers and soldiers were stunned and fell into panic and despair. Behind the wooden doors and windows were actually blue stone closed walls? This is simply a pre-selected slaughterhouse. The subsequent Japanese army troops are still advancing. The previous aggressive Japanese army troops began to retreat one after another. As a result, the attacking people collided with the retreat. At a distance of 300 meters, more than ten Maxin heavy machine guns and more than 20 Czech light machine guns were old. The entangled Japanese soldiers in the street beat their flesh and blood.
The shell box thrown next to the Maxine heavy machine gun was smoke, and the deputy shooter stared nervously at the canvas chain. The recoil generated by each shot of the linkage mechanism drove the repeated action of the shell hook. The empty shell was thrown out, the bullet was pushed into the position, and the launched warhead brought a burst of blood fog in the crowd of the Japanese army.
The dense sound of heavy machine gun shooting in the direction of the old street, and the chaos of the subsequent offensive troops made Ono Nagashima know that it must be a setback in the front attack. Sure enough, Ono Nagashima immediately ordered the deputy captain, Captain Nomura, to organize artillery support, and Ono Long Island himself is like a hard-working little groundhog, desperately continuing to dig his own bunker!
Boom! Boom! Boom! After a dense shelling, the Chinese defenders' positions were smoked, and the shrapnel flew wantonly. At least two Maxine heavy machine guns were destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire. Is the gunfire so close? But you can only hear the sound of the cannon and can't see where the firing position is?
Several groups of artillery observation posts repeatedly shifted their positions before finally found the location of the Japanese artillery. Hu Zhenglong took a telescope and found the location of the Japanese artillery under the guidance of the artillery observer. The fog emitted by the huge heat generated by artillery shooting in cold weather and the location of the Japanese artillery exposed by the smoke. Hu Zhenglong didn't expect that he would set the artillery position in the depression at the south end of the street.
After learning that the artillery position of the Japanese army was set under his own eyes? Zhang Tianpeng, who was furious, immediately coordinated the two artillery groups to carry out artillery fire on the depression where the military artillery group was located.
Soon, there was also a sharp roar on the heads of the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade of the Field Artillery Regiment of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army, which was very busy. The artillerymen knew very well that it was the sound of shells breaking through the air.
Boom! A 75mm grenade set off a burst of dust after the flash of the explosion, and then the shells roared to the ground like raindrops. The sound of the explosions fluctuated with each other. In a series of explosions, the army artillery was running to try to escape. Obviously, in the face of the wanton flickering shrapnel, the escape of the soldiers had no meaning.
In fact, the terrain of the depression gave the Japanese army an illusion of bullets like rain. The artillery group commanded and coordinated by Zhang Tianpeng only fired five rapid shots once. In Zhang Tianpeng's opinion, such a small depression Japanese army was stuffed into more than a dozen 75mm wild cannons at most. A burst of shells were enough to smash him!
The martyred shells are as dazzling as fireworks. The Japanese soldiers in a dilemma once again took out the rogue tactics of guarding the house and piled up the walls with corpses to resist the fierce projected firepower. The reason why the offensive troops of the Japanese army on the main street did not retreat was actually for the two wings. The two breakthrough teams are creating fighters.
The dark-faced Matsuda Guosan is no longer receiving calls from the front. His order to Yoshida Nakazo, the acting captain of the 45th Infantry Wing, is to attack, attack and attack! To wash away the shame of the 45th Infantry Regiment.
Because in Matsuda Guosan's view, as long as the front of the old street attracts the strength and firepower of the main position, the two brigades interspersed with the attack from the flank will definitely receive a miraculous effect!
However, I don't know that the two Japanese army brigades that entered from both wings of the street are also in a battle at this moment!
