The Japanese began to charge. They drove a group of puppet soldiers in front, and at the same time, they brought a group of puppet soldiers behind them. They began to charge at the entrance of the valley.
Da da…
The gunfire of Maxim's heavy machine guns rang out non-stop in the valley. The two fire nets blocked the path of the Japanese and puppet troops, and a large number of them were shot and killed on the way.
However, there were only four machine guns. The Japanese and puppet troops could still quickly pass through the mouth of the river valley that was more than 100 meters wide. Although they had paid a lot of casualties, they were about to walk out of the valley.
At this time, the sky was still a little gray. In the winter in the north, the dawn was relatively late.
When the Japanese puppet army rushed to the entrance of the valley, they were shocked by what appeared in front of them-barbed wire!
In front of him was a…no, two…three barbed wires.
Each barbed wire was more than ten meters apart.
In positional warfare, although machine guns were terrifying, they were not destructive. What was truly terrifying was the machine gun firepower combined with the barbed wire. It was definitely a nightmare for the infantry.
The infantrymen faced barbed wire that was difficult to destroy with bare hands. Their path forward would be blocked, and what awaited them was the calm firing of machine guns.
Only cannons and explosives could be used to deal with the barbed wire.
However, the Japanese didn't have the explosive tube. Or rather, they did have the explosive tube, but it was something like a big log. The Japanese who came to sweep the base obviously didn't bring that kind of thing.
What made the Japanese in front even more desperate was that when they were less than 50 meters away from the barbed wire, a series of explosions occurred under their feet.
A group of Japanese had stepped on a landmine.
A group of Japanese puppet soldiers were killed or injured. These mines often did not directly kill people, but instead injured their legs. If they could survive, they would have to amputate. But even if he couldn't kill them, he had already achieved his goal. Enemies with deep injuries to their legs were unable to continue fighting. If the enemy wanted to save these wounded, they would have to expend manpower.
This short 50 meters was simply a path of despair.
How was he supposed to clear this 50-meter minefield?
What would happen to the barbed wire after they rushed over?
The charge of the Japanese soldiers was stopped, and the four Maxim heavy machine guns in the two crossfire nets began to calmly harvest the lives of the Japanese soldiers.
Some of the Japanese pirates were lying on the valley path and firing at the Maxim heavy machine guns. However, these Maxim heavy machine guns were equipped with armored shields. This was the version of the Maxim heavy machine gun from the First World War. In order to fight this war, the Europeans had also modified the Maxim heavy machine gun.
Among them, the modification of adding shields on both sides of the machine gun was very popular, which could effectively prevent the death of the machine gunner.
With such a shield, the infantry would be overestimating themselves if they wanted to fight against a machine gun. First of all, after carrying a shield, the direction that could pose a threat to the machine gun was the front of the attack. Infantry and machine gun against each other?
Although the Maxim machine gun's firing rate was not very fast, it could still fire 10 bullets per second, which could directly turn the enemy infantry into a sieve.
Moreover, the muzzle of the machine gun was constantly moving. With a shield, even if the infantry's marksmanship was accurate, it would not be very useful. If the angle was wrong, they would hit the shield. Even if the angle was right, the gap between the two shields was very small, only 20 centimeters. The muzzle could only hit the shield if it was a few centimeters away.
If he was still hit with such protection, he could only say that he was unlucky.
The machine gunners in the fortress did not care about the Japanese shooting at them. Even though their shields were being hit, they were still focused on harvesting lives on the battlefield.
The lines of fire were very eye-catching in the dawn air. People could clearly see the trajectories of these machine gun bullets. They were like fleeting spots of light, but they were endless.
The first wave of Japanese soldiers that charged into the valley, as well as thousands of puppet soldiers, fell into a pool of blood under the attack of the four Maxim heavy machine guns.
At the same time, the militia in the fortress also fired their Bobossa submachine guns at the enemy soldiers.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers quickly collapsed. They found that they could not rush out at all. If they continued to attack, they would only become targets. Thus, they retreated once again, leaving behind corpses all over the ground.
The first full-force attack of the pirates was easily repelled.
Fujikawa Genji looked at the retreating troops with a dumbfounded expression and slapped the captain.
"Baka, who told you to retreat?"
"Even if you die, you will die on the way.”
Fujikawa Genji was a little agitated. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood after being defeated several times.
"Sir, the Chinese have planted mines at the entrance of the valley and set up barbed wire. We really can't rush through.”The captain was very unconvinced by the slap, but he still maintained a respectful appearance.
"Nani? The Chinese have barbed wire?" Fujikawa Genji was confused. However, when he thought about how the anti-alliance army was equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns, Mauser 98K, and ZB26, he was not surprised.
Knowing that there was barbed wire in front of them, Fujikawa Genji immediately deployed 6 Type 92 Infantry Cannons and bombarded the mines and barbed wire.
However, this firepower…was clearly a little shabby.
However, the Wei Nation's army only had this much firepower. Even though they had heavy artillery units, they were still strategic artillery units. How could they follow a company into the mountains to clean up?
However, the fortifications built by Su Yang were enough to withstand heavy artillery.
Therefore, the Japanese pirates had no way to deal with the fortifications built by Su Yang. They only had six infantry cannons, and their biggest role now was to clear the mines and destroy the barbed wire.
Although the firepower was a little shabby, it was enough to deal with mines and barbed wire, but the speed was obviously a little slow.
Su Yang saw the movements of the Japanese pirates clearly from the command post. He found that the Japanese pirates that attacked this time only had six infantry cannons.
As for the Japanese's heavy and light machine guns, they were not a threat to the base.
"The Japanese pirates only have one regiment, the rest are all puppet troops. Judging from the current situation, the pirates haven't given up on the idea of attacking the valley entrance. We'll leave 50 soldiers at the valley entrance and cooperate with the militia to completely stop the pirates. Even if the pirates change their direction and try to cross the mountain, we can still leave 50 soldiers and cooperate with the militia to resist the attack of the pirates. No matter which direction the pirates went, the other side would be the backup team. Therefore, we can transfer 300 soldiers and even a few hundred militia.”Su Yang looked at the map and touched his chin as he analyzed.
"Battalion Commander, are you planning to attack first?”Li Wenxian asked in surprise.
"Yes, take the initiative to attack. What do you think these pirates are most afraid of now?”A bold plan was quickly forming in Su Yang's mind.
"Of course the pirates are most afraid of losing an attack.”Li Wenxian said.
"This is already an established fact. What's next?”Su Yang smiled. Chen Yunwei said,"The pirates can't attack the base, so they can only retreat. What are they afraid of?"”
"I know. They are afraid of being left in the mountains. Battalion Commander, are you bringing people to block their escape route?”Li Wenxian immediately understood what Su Yang meant.
