Chapter 920 This is cause and effect!
Because of the total of five tanks in one large and four small positions, the Japanese army, which was completely at a disadvantage in the ground, miraculously became the occupant of the advantage!
The Japanese infantry are divided into two groups every day, with the main force behind and the forward vanguard in front. The fastest one has reached a position 100 meters away from the front of the Chinese position. Only 70 meters need to advance another 70 meters, which may be enough for them to throw the grenade into the trenches, which will become the doomsday for all Chinese soldiers on the position!
The killing and injury caused by the explosion of more than 40 grenades in the trenches will never be smaller than the previous round of artillery attacks of more than 10 artillery pieces by the Japanese army.
In other words, the distance of 100 meters is the line of life and death. Many Japanese soldiers have already started to stand up and are ready to charge with all their might. If it weren't for the fact that there was still some slope and the soil under their feet was too soft, 70 meters would be a tactical action that could be completed in ten seconds for these soldiers who were strong enough.
However, except for the machine gun bullets of the Japanese Type 94 light tank on the Chinese position, no Chinese soldiers fired back on the defense line that was nearly 500 meters wide.
‘This is unreasonable!’ This is the inner monologue of Captain Kibu Nakajima, the commander of the Japanese front line who attacked the Chinese position head-on, and the captain of the first squadron of the First Infantry Brigade of the 105th Infantry Regiment.
Of course, this is not the first time that Nakajima Kibumi has fought with the Chinese army. He is not unfamiliar with the 921st Division active in the Taihang Mountains. Even with tanks, the Chinese will not be so weak and have not shot a single shot until now.
In particular, the Chinese also gathered several times the number of troops far exceeding the imperial army, trying to encircle them and eat them.
That's right, when Goto Kazukonan sent a small group of infantry to march towards the commanding heights of both wings but found that Chinese soldiers had quietly occupied the commanding heights, the middle and senior Japanese officers knew about the Chinese army's intentions.
The Chinese not only want to stop them here, but also want to surround them and eat them in one bite.
The appetite is really big!
However, as the Chinese saying goes: It depends on whether they have such good teeth!
Although the 600 troops of Komura Hiroshima troops who were protected by the flanks of the mountains, the total strength of the imperial infantry here is only more than 1,500, but they are not an ordinary infantry, but a joint force integrating artillery, cavalry and armored soldiers!
There are artillery in the distance attack, and tanks and infantry in close combat. What’s the use of Chinese people even if there are too many people? Do you rely on the old guns in the hands of infantry?
Moreover, the battlefield chosen by the Chinese may be conducive to their surrounds, but with a relatively flat geographical location here, what can I do if I surround them? If I want to fight, I basically have to go down to the high ground.
What's more, the division army is gathering and will be reinforced at any time. It is possible to have a counter-encircle against the Chinese in this mountainous area and kill their main force in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the Japanese army did not take it very seriously about being surrounded. Even in the rear, an infantry squadron was sent to conduct symbolic defense!
The Japanese army had great confidence in capturing the high ground occupied by the Chinese in front of them, but the Japanese infantrymen, including Captain Nakajima, remained cautious enough!
After all, life belongs to your own, and there is only one. No one wants to go home and put it in that small wooden box.
Of course, it does not mean that there is no counterattack on all Chinese positions.
Like the positions on both sides of the front position, the Chinese not only exposed their light machine guns, but also grenade launchers, and even mortars to assist. Two consecutive light machine guns and machine gunners were blown into parts all over the sky, which was the masterpiece of the terrifying small cannon.
The Japanese infantry on both sides of the battlefield were basically shooting against the Chinese on the positions more than 200 meters away.
Although the Type 94 light tanks assisted, the Japanese infantry had a slightly advantage in firepower, but they were definitely not as big as their gap with other Chinese troops on the Hebei plains.
The Japanese army has strong tactical qualities and accurate shooting skills, but the elites who have experienced the strategic transfer of thousands of miles are definitely not weak. Even if they are extremely low in their heads, their gunshot skills are accurate. In addition, the benefits of terrain offset some of the advantages of the Japanese army's firepower.
Therefore, on the positions on both sides, both sides attacked and defended and fought evenly, and it was difficult for the Japanese army to make progress. The defending troops who were holding on to the urge to kill the Japanese devils did not shoot the Japanese invaders as they expected, and no one took much advantage.
But only the frontal position with longer defense lines and absolutely more important is so strange. The Chinese people do not show up or shoot, which forms an extremely strange contrast with the fierce fighting between the two sides.
There must be something abnormal when something happens. The strange situation on the front position may not only be the one who thinks this way, but almost all the Japanese soldiers have this idea in their minds.
Therefore, the nerves in the minds of more than 180 Japanese soldiers on the front line nearly 500 meters were tense. Once there was any movement, crawling and avoiding was necessary. The Chinese who dared to emerge were handed over to the armored soldiers hiding behind the iron and steel armor behind them to deal with it.
I couldn't help but feel a little angry when I remembered the Japanese infantry who could hide in the invulnerable tanks with comfort and no danger. They were still as 20,000 or 50,000 yuan, but they were at risk of losing their lives at any time.
Of course, letting those "bastards" work harder on the battlefield will become the inner psychological projection of these Japanese infantrymen.
"Swish!" A sharp bamboo whistle sounded.
Suddenly, when he heard the sudden sound of bamboo whistles on the Chinese position, the already tense Japanese infantry were naturally frightened and his bladders shrank, thinking that the Chinese had some terrible plan.
Those who were more imaginative even thought of the mortar shells flying overwhelmed in the sky. When tanks hundreds of meters away fired guns to suppress the Chinese positions, they used mortars to prove that they had such terrible small cannons.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Mortar bombing tanks may not work well, but people bombing are blown up one by one. If you want to talk about what the Japanese infantry hate the most about the weapons equipped by the Chinese army, if the long-handled grenades that are equipped with a large number of equipment are ranked first, then the 82-caliber mortar cliff is qualified to rank second.
After the war, there were statistics that during the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers died of 82 mortars, and even the "Famous Generals" died under such artillery.
I can only hope that God Amaterasu can bless you. If you want to blow it up, just blow it up and don’t blow it up yourself. A group of Japanese soldiers who have done their psychological construction but are still scared to death can’t hide their faces in the soil in front of them.
If you don't hide it a little deeper, what if the cannon shrapnel flew over?
It is somewhat similar to the tradition in the Chinese army. Not everyone is qualified to be the first infantry squadron in the First Infantry Brigade. The first infantry squadron under Kibu Nakajima is a famous Sharp Knife Infantry in the 105th Infantry Corps. From the tactical reactions of more than 180 people crawling together within one or two seconds, you can also see the tactical reactions of more than 180 people crawling together!
However, the soil on the hillside that the shells exploded was a little soft! Moreover, why did it smell a little strange? He smashed himself to the ground and without hesitation, a trace of doubt flashed through the Japanese army's mind.
Obviously, this perception is wrong.
The Japanese artillery's technical and tactical level was very high, but the altitude of the Beiganling Mountains was not high.
The vertical height of the only hill connecting the Licheng and Lucheng highway is no more than 400 meters, and the slope is relatively slow. Because the ridge is narrow, building the position on the ridge provides the most accurate coordinates for the Japanese artillery. If there is not enough extension, it will cause heavy casualties in the infantry. Therefore, the 769th Regiment, which arrived 20 minutes in advance, built the position on the hillside, and the platoon-level positions are intertwined and not on the same horizontal plane. This can also ensure that the Japanese army breaks through a hole and the entire defense line collapses!
When it comes to the high technical and tactical level of Japanese artillery, it means that the Japanese artillery fire is almost concentrated around the position, with an error of very few exceeding 50 meters! Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Japanese army equipped a large number of 92 infantry artillery. Except for four 75-caliber mountain cannons, the other infantry cannons are placed in an area less than 1,200 meters away from the front line. At such a close shooting distance, if the error of 92 infantry cannons with a direct aiming gun is still more than 50 meters, then the Japanese artillery can really go to shit.
Most of the craters that were fifty or sixty meters outside the position were left by 75-caliber mountain cannons, which were howitzers. It was normal to have such errors, otherwise the Japanese infantry would not advance with the extended artillery fire!
If they can reach 100 meters of infringement coordination, then there is almost no need to fight this battle, and it is impossible to beat it.
Therefore, 100 meters ahead of the position, the reason why the land is soft is not caused by shells, but that piece of land is farmland, to be precise, cornfield.
There are many stone mountains in Taihang Mountains, but the Beiganling area is an exception. The land is so fertile than the current Sihang Group's residence, Dakouzi Cave!
In that era, there was no concept of returning farmland to forests. The mountain people would care about green mountains and clear waters, so they naturally cut down trees and opened fields.
To put it bluntly, the area 60 to 120 meters below the front position, perhaps because of the best soil quality, is all farmland that Chinese mountain people have cultivated for generations.
What crops are the most in the mountains? What else can you have besides corn? This thing can be lived by just giving some rainwater and enough rainwater and fertilizer to get a good harvest.
Moreover, the yield per mu is high, and straw can be fed to cattle and horses. It is simply the most suitable crop for mountain people struggling in the barren mountains.
It is probably not enough to develop the entire mountain into a corn field, otherwise, in summer, the cliffs here will be covered with corn on the cob.
"Baga! Damn Chinese, what did you put here? What exactly is this?" A Japanese lieutenant pulled his face out of the "silt" with some difficulty.
It was really pulled out. The soil in China is really too sticky. If you have to find an adjective, Second Lieutenant Matsuda, who grew up in the countryside since he was a child, only one noun can be described in his mind, fertile.
This is definitely a fertile land. You can fly with your face. At least, this is what Lieutenant Matsuda, who was born in a farmer, feels.
As the commander of the Death Squad appointed by Captain Nakajima himself, more than 40 people led by Lieutenant Matsuda rushed to the front of the entire infantry squadron, at least more than fifty meters away from the main force behind.
However, although it is the Death Squad, it does not mean that the Death Squad must die. Second Lieutenant Matsuda also wants to return to the island alive and bring glory and money back.
Second Lieutenant Matsuda, who didn't want to die, was definitely agile. After hearing the sound of a bamboo whistle, he roared "Lying down and hiding", and he threw himself into the dust as fast as possible.
But unexpectedly, China's land was so fertile that it was a little harsh and buried its head in the "silver".
Moreover, it was a bit outrageous. Somehow, she was blocked by the "silt" in China and almost couldn't breathe. The second lieutenant Matsuda, who had smeared her nose several times to restore her normal breathing, actually smelled a stream...
A smell of farm fertilizer.
However, the upcoming rain of bullets that could take away lives made Lieutenant Matsuda ignore the thoughts. He just wanted to bury his head lower and lower. The land full of farmhouse fertilizer brought about a bumper harvest and hope. Compared with the upcoming rain of bullets, it was simply too beautiful.
It was not until two minutes later that Lieutenant Matsuda raised his head and asked the sergeant beside him angrily.
Because there is a feeling of being stronger and stronger, for the peasant child of Matsuda Sakane.
It really tastes like that!
Baga's is so smelly.
The Japanese sergeant who was only three meters away from him was shocked.
He dared to say that he had never seen a person who could stick that thing on his face so evenly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The black is yellow, and the yellow is also indescribable colors, covering the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and face of the Japanese lieutenant.
Moreover, there were a few indescribable white bugs dancing wildly on it, twisting their plump and soft bodies.
How do you say that feeling? The military officer can guarantee that even if he saw several people who were brave enough to break into a Chinese mountain village after drinking and wanted to have some fun, he was stoned by a Chinese villager who was willing to kill his colleagues with a stone, and his faces that could not be distinguished at all, would not feel even more disgusting to look at Lieutenant Matsuda, a few meters away.
There was unprecedented disgust, and there was even an urge to smash the chief to the ground with a gun.
Is this the legendary "put manure on the face"?
A mountain wind blew, and an extremely scented smell came into the noses of all the Japanese soldiers who raised their heads.
Because of the differences in regions, different appearances, different languages, different cultures, and many differences between different ethnic groups, but it may be almost the same.
Exhaust.
Exposed to the eyes of the Japanese army, the face of Second Ensign Matsuda was almost yellow, black, and smelly. Everyone could almost determine that it was shit.
Yes, they finally recognized it.
That's indeed, shit.
So, under the stunned gaze of all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company of the Second Battalion on the position, dozens of Japanese devils who had been lying attentively jumped up like crazy and desperately took off their military uniforms, some wiping their faces and some wiping their hands.
There is no way, it’s too disgusting, they would even rather die.
The noble Imperial Japanese Army can accept an extremely cruel battlefield and face death fearlessly for His Majesty the Emperor.
But we cannot climb on the Chinese so wholeheartedly, and we can bury our faces, as if we smell the fragrance of Mother Earth.
Wait, what is the bug that was squirting on her face like a lover's gentle touch? Isn't it a maggot?
Several soldiers who hid themselves tightly like Lieutenant Matsuda were now vomiting like their commanders.
My mentality is really broken!
This is much more disgusting than the "shit" mines encountered by Hiro Komura. After all, it doesn't fall off your face. At least there is a place to wipe it, but now, can you wipe it on the ground with your face?
The mountain wind was lightly sent, and the smell of stench was accurately sent to the main Japanese army 50 meters behind. Captain Nakajima, who was so fumigated that he also fell to the ground, suddenly covered his mouth and nose: "Baga, the Chinese are using poison gas."
"What is that?" A soldier on the Chinese position asked his comrades beside him in amazement.
"It seems to be a farm fertilizer..." The veteran, who is over 30 years old, had a strange face.
Although he has been away from his hometown for many years and has made him rarely farm, as a rural person who has helped his family with farm work since he was a child, he is very familiar with this taste.
If that thing is not turned, the smell will only spread for 10 or 20 meters. However, after a squirt of water and a gust of wind, it will be amazing.
"The fellow villagers in this area are really hardworking!" sighed.
Yes, it is good to build a simple bunker for the 769th Regiment, which arrived on the battlefield only 20 minutes earlier than the Japanese army. If you have time, do that.
These masterpieces are all attributed to the hardworking mountaineers in Taihang Mountains. Around April is the best time to grow spring corn. Although it is not time yet, if you lay enough farmland to have a good harvest this year, you can have a good harvest.
Although there is war, people have to eat when fighting!
Therefore, the Chinese mountaineering people who dream of eating had not seen the harvest yet, but they first fed dozens of Japanese infantrymen who invaded their homes with a look of shit!
