Chapter 147: See who is lucky
Fear of death, but cannot hide or avoid!
This is what it means to live to death.
However, the fearless Chinese soldiers also encountered tenacious opponents.
The Japanese artillery was also fearless. The Sulutong machine gun, which could penetrate 15mm steel plates within 500 meters, had amazing penetration power. The semi-permanent field fortifications that could prevent mortar bombardment were also installed in the front gear with nearly 1.5 meters high 10mm steel plates and a thick layer of sandbags, but it did not mean that all areas were protected by steel plates. As long as the shells were penetrated into the fortifications, it might be a bloody storm.
When the machine gun shells hit the fortifications, the Japanese artillery soldiers were not panicked, but instead suddenly bulged their eyes and cheeks and held their energy to shoot at the warehouse.
From this spirit of fearlessness, the two soldiers who use shells as long spears to fight against each other are really the two best groups in the East of the world in this era.
Chinese soldiers have reasons why they must fight to the death and protect, while the Japanese army also has the so-called samurai spirit. In the face of death, they are not as cowardly as legendary.
In this case, whoever dies and lives does not depend on the accuracy of the shelling of both sides, nor does it depend on whose nerves are more tenacious, but more of luck.
Whoever God stands on will be able to laugh to the end.
Even the Japanese colonel and the Japanese central command of the Japanese army were shocked by the fierce and fearless confrontation between the artillery soldiers on both sides.
In the telescope, balls of cannon fire bloomed like blooming roses on the wide and thick walls of the Sihang Warehouse. Even the nearest one exploded three meters away from the fortifications of the Chinese window sandbags, but the machine gun was unmoved. The flames spit out from the muzzle hurt the eyes of the two Japanese officers hidden behind the telescope hundreds of meters away.
"These Chinese are beyond imagination!" Fukuchijiro put down the telescope in his hand, fear surged on his face, and sighed sincerely: "If we all meet these Chinese people, how can this imperial sacred war be victorious?"
"Luckily! Among the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops, less than one-tenth of them have this fearless spirit." Shun Makino also agreed.
Although it was very painful to be beaten by the warehouse guards these days, it was the first time for these two to evaluate the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side in such a nearly praising tone.
Perhaps, he was shocked by the heroic scene of machine guns and infantry guns firing at each other, or perhaps, he should embellish something for his incompetence! Only two Japanese assistants knew the emotions best in his heart.
"We have to kill such an elite Chinese team, no matter how much the price it costs, so as to avoid letting more imperial warriors lose their precious lives." Weichiro looked at his subordinates who agreed with his tone, and his tone was extremely firm.
"Makino, you said yes, right?"
"Yes, the corps leader, kill all the Chinese in front of the Chinese who are watching the battle, destroying their so-called confidence. I believe that there are only benefits and no harm to the future full-scale war against China in the empire. I believe that the division commander and General Matsui are aware of this." Makino Toshino pointed at the top.
Although I was still a little tired of my boss, I always wanted to make excuses for my excessive losses, the words of the Japanese Nakazu were sincere.
Killing the rebellious Chinese army in front of you is absolutely destructive in the confidence that the Chinese have just developed.
This should be the most important purpose of the war to this day.
Yes, no matter how elite the warehouse defenders in front of them are, there are only more than one hundred or a few hundred. They cannot stop the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Japanese Empire, but those unarmed Chinese can do it now.
Because they represent the Chinese people behind them. The population of 40 million is such a huge population base.
When the Japanese army's middle-aged soldiers thought of so many Chinese people, even if they only picked out the right-age population, it would be as high as 100 million.
You should know that for this war, the empire had 17 permanent divisions and 10 divisions. The nearly 300,000 troops sounded very majestic, but it had weakened the defense of the Japanese mainland to the lowest level.
Now I have won the 700,000 Chinese army, but what about the future? Should I deal with millions or tens of millions? When I think of this number, I feel that it is impossible to be weak.
In fact, his expectations were correct.
In the past, China recruited more than 10 million adult men to join the army, invested more than 6 million in wars, and suffered more than 3 million casualties. In order to deal with such a large number of Chinese troops, Japan was forced to increase its troops. By the middle of the war, as the invading territory became larger and larger, the army stationed in China was basically maintained at around 2 million.
These 2 million are already the majority of Japan's army. After the outbreak of the Pacific War in the future, the infantry they can compete with Western countries on the small islands of the Pacific Ocean will only have a pitiful 400,000 soldiers. Once a large number of troops are drawn, it is estimated that before the people have arrived, they will be killed by China's counterattack.
The Japanese really overestimated their appetite, just as they underestimated China's potential for war.
"Yoxi! Makino, you are right. We must smash the confidence of the Chinese, just like our brave artillery boys." Fukuchijiro nodded with satisfaction and said. "Then, Makino Toshi can order the infantry warriors of the empire to choose the right time and charge!"
"Hi!" Makino Toshi emphasized.
The iron-headed machine gun shot at least three bullet boards empty after more than 50 seconds of counterattack.
The Japanese army's two infantry artillery fired at least 10 shells.
It's just luck, today, I obviously didn't stand on the Japanese side.
The iron head is bleeding.
An infantry shell hit the wall five meters away. A piece of cement fragments stirred through the shooting hole and hit the steel shield of the machine gun. In an instant, the shattered fragments passed through his brow, as if they had been cut, and the entire eyebrows broke through it, and blood flowed.
Blood flowed into his eyes, dyeing his eyes red. The squad leader of the squad of the iron-headed deputy shooter of the mobile phone shut-off squad exclaimed in an attempt to press the first aid kit seized from the Japanese army to stop the bleeding. He kicked it away. His bloody eyes were always facing the scope, although it was now full of blood and could not see anything clearly.
Behind the bloody color is the Japanese infantry artillery fortifications.
He had to kill them before he and the machine gun were blown into parts on the ground.
Otherwise, not only will he die, but his brothers will die too.
His already red eyes stared ahead and heard a familiar "click" sound coming from below. It was the sound on the fourth bullet board.
Without hesitation, the second lieutenant of the machine cannon company stepped on the shooting pedal and did not release it until the last shell rushed out of the muzzle.
An infantry cannon of the Japanese army was silenced.
The Japanese engineers have actually worked very hard. They built two layers of sandbags and tied a 10mm steel plate directly in front of the infantry artillery fortifications. Even if they were hit on the front of the machine gun, they might not be able to penetrate it.
As it turned out, although the machine gun shells shot more than 30 rounds head-on, hitting nearly 10 rounds of fortifications and making big holes in the sandbags, they did not completely penetrate the steel plates and the sandbags behind the steel plates and caused any damage to the Japanese artillery that followed them.
Because blood was poured into the eyes, although the lieutenant who had already shown his temper still tried to open his eyes wide, his vision was still affected, and his muzzle subconsciously raised it by a millimeter.
It was only this millimeter that cost the lives of the Japanese artillery soldiers in the infantry artillery fortifications.
A field fortification less than 1.8 meters high, and trying to hit 30 centimeters above a steel plate with a height of 1.5 meters high was originally a very low probability, but as long as it was not zero, it meant that it was possible.
There were at least three shells drilled into the fortification through the gap of thirty centimeters.
The Japanese army is not tall, but the figure of 1.6 meters and 1.5 meters and 1.5 meters and 1.5 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters and 1
