The 77th regiment was indeed more courageous. They sent out a brigade as soon as they entered the field and charged under the cover of the artillery.
Moreover, the Japanese army sent a squadron to harass the two sides of the position to disperse the defensive strength of the battalion.
The Japanese's marksmanship was indeed not for show. Both sides fought fiercely. The 77th Regiment learned from their predecessor's lesson. They did not charge forward but stopped after charging for a distance. They used their superb marksmanship to fight with the 1st Battalion.
Suddenly, the casualties of the 1st Battalion began to increase, but the casualties of the Japanese were obviously greater. The 1st Battalion was equipped with M1 semi-automatic rifles, and eight bullets could suppress the Japanese army very well.
More than a dozen MG-42s also fired wildly at the Japanese army, suppressing them until they could not raise their heads.
Faced with such a situation, Xu Ziqiu immediately changed his strategy and ordered the commander of the artillery battalion,""Change to incendiary bombs!"
"Yes, sir!"
Incendiary bombs were not limited to aerial bombs. They also included artillery shells, rockets, and even grenades. To deal with the Japanese's ambush tactics, using incendiary bombs was the best way. Only by forcing them up could they effectively kill the Japanese's sound power.
For the current Lu Jie, killing the Japanese was the best way to defeat them. He had to make them feel that they couldn't take this place no matter how much they paid.
"Bang!" A cannonball landed on the ground, and countless sparks flew out. Several Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground were splashed by the flames, and the flames began to spread on their bodies.
"Ahhhh!" The Japanese soldiers stood up and frantically slapped the burning parts of their bodies, trying to put out the flames on their bodies. However, a bullet soon ended their lives.
Some of the smarter Japanese soldiers tried to extinguish the flames by rolling on the ground. However, the fire ball was getting bigger and bigger because these were napalm bombs. Their bodies were contaminated with napalm. If they did not burn out, they would not be extinguished. No matter what method you used, even if you were soaked in water, it would be the same.
This was the cruelty of napalm. No army was willing to face such a bomb.
One by one, the Japanese soldiers were burned to death, causing the other Japanese soldiers to tremble in fear. Even their marksmanship was affected.
Anyone who saw this kind of death would not be calm, even the Japanese soldiers who killed people like flies.
However, the Japanese army was different from other armies. In the face of such a situation, the captain found that this method of lying on the ground was definitely not feasible, so he waved his samurai sword and ordered the troops to charge forward.
If they retreated now, they would only be burned to death by the burning cannonballs. Only by charging up and mixing with their troops would these devilish cannonballs stop firing.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Board!"
"Board!"
One by one, the Japanese soldiers stood up and charged towards their positions. The bayonet on their rifles glinted coldly, ready to devour them.
Faced with the Japanese army's frenzied assault, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion began to get busy. The incendiary shells continued to fall, and a large number of Japanese soldiers were instantly burned to death.
General-purpose machine guns and semi-automatic rifles formed a powerful firepower net, blocking the Japanese soldiers outside the firepower net. If one was killed, two Japanese soldiers would be replaced. It was as if there was no end to the killing.
As time passed, the Japanese army's charge became weaker. Soon, the bugle sounded, and the Japanese army, who knew that the charge was fruitless, began to retreat.
The 1st Battalion was naturally greeted with a wave of bullets, killing many retreating Japanese soldiers.
The casualties of the Japanese army this time were not small. There were more than 600 people in a brigade, but only about 100 people were left when they returned. Moreover, all of them were injured and had black heads and dirty faces. They were in a sorry state.
Regimental Commander Batian Ju's expression darkened when he saw the troops 'current state. He then looked in the direction of the 1st Battalion's position.
It was like an invisible wall that blocked the Japanese army from entering. The current situation was not very smooth for the Japanese army, and the resistance of the Chinese people was beyond their imagination.
Moreover, the 29th division wasn't very weak, and their equipment wasn't particularly bad. This was all thanks to the Global Arms Company, which made the Japanese army very uncomfortable.
"In three days, our heavy artillery regiment will be here to support us in battle. We are not allowed to charge these few days. We can use sniper fire to harass them."”
The Japanese army realized that they had been too optimistic in the face of such a strong city like Beiping, so they quickly mobilized a heavy artillery regiment from China.
This regiment was equipped with dozens of 120mm cannons and 12 150mm heavy cannons. This way, they could teach the enemy artillery a lesson.
Back then, they had used their advantage in range to beat up the artillery regiment of the 20th division of the Japanese army. When their heavy artillery regiment arrived, they would let them taste despair.
Moreover, the Kwantung Army's ground forces would also come south to support, and the Japanese army's strength would become incomparably huge.
Fortunately, Lu Jie still had the chance to draw the lottery on the 28th. The last time he drew the lottery was on the 20th. Lu Jie was looking forward to every lottery draw. He was looking forward to the addition of new weapons to increase their combat strength.
