The charging Japanese army suddenly noticed a barrage of artillery shells flying out of Wanping City. Not long after, their artillery support stopped. It was obvious that their artillery was suppressed.
However, they could not care less because the battle had already begun.
When they were 300 meters away from the formation, the 4th Regiment had already opened fire.
Two companies of soldiers were stationed at the bridgehead. Apart from some officers, the rest of the soldiers were ordinary people who had been recruited.
Li Ergou was a company soldier. He was originally a soldier in the 29th Division, but he had been a deserter and joined the 4th Regiment.
It was not strange to lose a person during the war, so he was not discovered.
He touched the rifle in his hand and sighed."If we had such a good gun in the past, so many brothers wouldn't have died!”
Not far away from him, another person ran over with him. The two of them were fated to be in the same class.
"That's right! I was very glad that I had joined this unit. Although it wasn't large, its equipment was the best I had ever seen. There were machine guns and cannons!”
As the two of them chatted, figures appeared in their eyes. The Japanese army rushed forward in a dense group, shouting something crazily.
Li Ergou couldn't help but ask,"What the hell is this Japanese guy shouting about?" Do you understand?"
"How can I understand the Japanese language? But my gun should be able to understand.”
The two of them stopped chatting and looked at the Japanese soldiers who were rushing over with rifles. They aimed at each other. Now, as long as they aimed and fired a shot, they could knock down a Japanese soldier. It could be seen how dense they were.
"Fight!"
When they heard the captain's shout, they immediately pulled the trigger in their hands and fired at the Japanese soldiers who had been aiming for a long time.
Li Ergou could clearly see a flower of blood appear on the chest of the Japanese soldier before he fell to the ground. It was obvious that he had killed a Japanese soldier.
Then, he quickly aimed at another Japanese soldier and decisively pulled the trigger. However, the gun was obviously off course and hit another Japanese soldier's head.
The advantage of semi-automatic was that there was no need to pull the pin after each shot. After firing a shot, he could fire another shot immediately. It saved a lot of time and increased the firing rate by a lot.
Eight shots in a row took the lives of six Japanese soldiers. His marksmanship was still acceptable. After all, the Japanese soldiers were at least 200 meters away from their positions.
Compared to the MG42 machine gun, semi-automatic killing was too slow.
The Japanese soldiers who were charging at the front fell like wheat being cut under the sound of machine guns, as if they had encountered an invisible wall.
However, the Japanese were the kind of people who wouldn't turn back even if they hit a wall. Even if they encountered a blockade of fire, their samurai spirit wouldn't allow them to retreat. This would be a lifelong shame to them.
The Japanese grenade launchers were the biggest headache for the soldiers of the 4th Regiment. One grenade after another accurately landed behind a machine gun and exploded. The machine gunner was sent flying, and the other two members were also killed by the shrapnel.
However, the grenade launcher had also paid the price with its life. As long as they opened fire, they would definitely not be able to escape. A rain of mortar shells would fall on them and send them to see Auntie Amaterasu.
It was not that the Japanese army did not have the slightest ability to fight back. Their counterattack was also very fierce, and their superb marksmanship was displayed to the fullest. If it was not for the geographical restrictions that prevented them from unleashing their superior forces, their position would have been broken long ago. It would not have been Lu Jie's turn to defend.
The Japanese finally reached the other end of the bridgehead with heavy casualties. This time, the quality of the Japanese army was displayed. The division of labor was clear. One team was responsible for suppressing the firepower on both sides of the bridgehead with their guns, while the other team was charging towards the bridgehead.
The grenade launchers at the back also fired at the position without caring about the casualties, causing a lot of casualties to the soldiers of the two companies. However, the Japanese army was not doing well either.
Kawagishi Bunsaburo, who was at the frontline command center, nodded in satisfaction and said,"These are the warriors of our Great Sun Empire. Their achievements will be remembered by His Majesty!”
He was not affected by the large number of casualties. In his opinion, as long as he could take down this important place, all the sacrifices were worth it. The lives of soldiers were the least valuable.
At this time, the 75mm infantry cannons joined the battlefield. Because of the Japanese Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment, these infantry cannons were hidden just now and were only ready now.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
One shell after another fell into the charging formation of the Japanese army. The dense rain of bullets immediately set off a bloody storm among the Japanese army. The Japanese army behind could not rush up under the suppression of the artillery and was separated from the Japanese army in front.
The soldiers of the two companies seized this excellent opportunity to launch a wave of concentrated fire attacks on the Japanese army in front of them. In less than two minutes, the Japanese army in front was completely wiped out.
