Chapter 7: The Waltz of Death (Part 2)
Just when Cheng Jiaji was worried about the rewards he was about to send to his subordinates, the Japanese army had already rushed to the Chinese army's position, which made Cheng Jiaji realize that he might have thought too far just now, not to mention that those guys had the ability to kill the Japanese, they might not be able to survive until the end of this battle. I think there would not be too many lucky people who could receive the rewards at that time. It seems that he would not go bankrupt because of this small matter.
Although Cheng Jiaji had not left the trench at this time, he had already retreated to the third trench, which was relatively safer than the first trench.
After all, no one asked Cheng Jiaji to join the Japanese bayonets who rushed up. Speaking of which, he is the highest battlefield commander of this team.
As long as he can stay within the range of the Japanese machine gun, in everyone's eyes, he is already a good commander who leads the way. After all, no matter which country's army is, he will not use the standards of a soldier to measure a lieutenant colonel battlefield commander.
No matter which military script written by a modern military strategist, a lieutenant colonel would not require a person to stay on the fire as an ordinary soldier.
Less than 80 meters away from the line of fire, Cheng Jiaji could clearly see every Japanese face rushing up without a telescope.
It should be said that the Japanese have invested a lot of money. Two squadrons of more than 300 people have fallen down along the way before they even entered the forefront of the Chinese army. Most of them were killed by the Chinese army's electronically controlled mines and mortars. In other words, Japan had already paid a heavy price before formally contacting the Chinese army.
There are not many such situations on the current Jinpu Road battlefield. Generally speaking, the Japanese always use heavy artillery aircraft to completely destroy the positions of the Chinese army before launching an attack. The Japanese were actually very afraid of death when they had the advantage of firepower.
However, the situation in Dawangzhuang is a bit different. Because it was impossible for the Japanese to transfer planes to assist in the night, and because it was light troops rushing, they could not bring heavy artillery, so the Japanese could not take the absolute advantage in artillery fire. They could only rely on the quality of artillery soldiers to be far higher than that of the Chinese army and tied with the Chinese army, which was at a disadvantage in terms of territory and was slightly disadvantaged in terms of number.
However, the Japanese army's combat power was indeed a bit unreasonable. The firepower of the two sides's crawler guns came in handy in less than fifteen minutes, and the camp on the Chinese army was a little confused by the fierce tactical movements and precise shooting of the Japanese.
Cheng Jiaji looked at the two companies on the front line and the two Japanese squadrons fighting after being severely damaged by Chinese artillery fire and landmines. He, the Greater Chinese nationalism, who has always hated the Japanese, couldn't help but appreciate the Japanese's combat power.
You should know that the two companies that have actually been semi-German-made in machine gun firepower are not only not inferior to those of the Japanese army rushing up, but also have certain advantages. The number of people is similar to that of both sides. However, as the attacking party, the Japanese army can actually suppress the well-regarded Chinese army. Both sides suffered a considerable loss when shooting at the Chinese army.
Cheng Jiaji seemed to be in a secret cry in his heart. This was just a close-range shooting. If the Japanese were allowed to move up to fight hand-to-hand combat, the Chinese army's front line would probably collapse on the spot. Although during the training days in Xuzhou, Cheng Jiaji specially took three days to let the soldiers practice how to master the shooting when fighting bayonets, but Cheng Jiaji knew that it was impossible to expect that those few days of emergency compensation could make up for the gap in the ability of the Chinese and Japanese armies in the stinging battle.
The three-day malicious compensation method is at most, which is considered a way for the Japanese army to narrow the gap in hand-to-hand combat. However, once the subordinates really face the Japanese bayonet, not to mention that the gap in length between the domestic rifles and the Japanese-made 38 large covers can be enough to offset the power of the Chinese army's magic weapon when shooting from time to time in hand-to-hand combat, not to mention that the training of the Japanese army has always been made by living people to practice this brutal and excellent training method that can only be used by invading troops.
Cheng Jiaji had thought of organizing a force specially used to deal with Japanese hand-to-hand combat, which was composed of soldiers with extraordinary martial arts skills. However, when he was excited to form such a special force army, he realized that it was not so easy to find some people who knew some real kung fu in this era when cold weapons had just left the battlefield. Few of those stolen airs could come in handy. Most of the so-called martial arts masters basically performed less on the battlefield than those veterans who had experienced many battles.
This is really the more you worry about. Just as Cheng Jiaji was worried about the upcoming hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese had already fought bayonets with Cheng Jiaji's subordinates in several areas at the same time. The Japanese attacked the Japanese with hands and blades to make the front line of the Qianzhuang defenders of the Chinese army no longer stable. Although they have not yet reached a fragmented state, in some places, the Japanese had already broken through the Chinese army's defense line and developed to both sides.
Cheng Jiaji knew that if the Japanese were allowed to continue to be rampant, the former Zhuangzhuangkou would probably not even be able to wait for Yu Juncai's support and would be over.
Thinking that after his troops collapsed, Japan would inevitably attack the Third Army Corps headquarters, which had few soldiers. The battle plan to block the enemy at Zhuangkou Yin Block Pass was really a matter of nothing.
Thinking of the consequences of the failure of this battle, Cheng Jiaji, who has always paid great attention to his own safety, felt that he could only fight for it now.
"Brothers fight with the Japanese." Although he was so scared that his calves were so nervous that he was twitching, Cheng Jiaji knew very well what he was doing. Only by supporting the reinforcements sent by Yu Juncai, he could temporarily defend the entrance of Dawangzhuang and Qianzhuang. Otherwise, once the Japanese army broke into the village, the consequences would not be afforded by a small lieutenant colonel.
If this battle is defeated, even if I don’t die in front of the formation, I will definitely die in military law. Now I can only fight.
With this idea, Cheng Jiaji carried a twenty-shot shell gun with a rushing straight to the Japanese army under the protection of Ma Sanbao and his guards, which had already gained an advantage and was about to successfully divide the Chinese army's front.
At this moment, Cheng Jiaji understood a truth that heroes were forced out of the fuck.
