The Japanese army's attack began. Although the long-distance raid prevented them from carrying heavy weapons, they still relied on the small-caliber mortars and grenade launchers they carried to begin their bombardment. Just as Meng Fan had said, the Japanese army's tactics were very rigid. At this time, they were still using artillery to bombard infantry.
"Boom, boom, boom! "The 50mm artillery shells were very limited in power, but when the curved shells landed in the trenches, they still caused casualties. Zhou Heng saw two soldiers in the trenches being blown away by the shells.
"D * mn, how dare you bomb my soldiers! " Although he wanted to wipe out these Japanese, seeing his own soldiers being bombed like this, Zhou Heng couldn't take it anymore and immediately called Meng Fan."
"Have you confirmed the Japanese's mortar position? If the Japanese run away after blowing up their cannons, then I'll bear the responsibility.”Zhou Heng said angrily.
After putting down the phone, he felt that he had been too soft-hearted. Being a commander like this would cause a lot of problems. Sometimes, in order to achieve a strategic goal, it was necessary to sacrifice some soldiers. This way, fewer people would be sacrificed in the future. If one's emotions did not achieve their goals, they would sacrifice more in the future.
The sound of returning fire rang out. Both sides were engaged in an artillery battle. The 3rd Regiment was bombarding the Japanese artillery, while the Japanese were looking for a position to bomb.
The sudden appearance of the mortars did not interrupt the Japanese's attack. Soon, the Japanese formed a line and walked out of the jungle. They lowered their bodies and moved towards the camp. At the edge of the jungle, the Japanese were firing at them to suppress them.
Holding the M2 heavy machine gun, Milong looked at the Japanese soldiers in the distance. He felt like a cat was scratching his heart. He kept holding the walkie-talkie and asking," Damn it, when can we shoot? I've already seen a few Japanese soldiers. I can definitely beat them into minced meat."”
12.7 A millimeter-caliber heavy machine gun bullet would definitely cause blood and flesh to fly everywhere. A single bullet could break a person's waist, but Meng Fan refused to let him open fire.
There were only rifles and light machine guns firing at the position. The firepower was not bad, but the Japanese had strong tactical skills. Although they were dull, they were able to execute their orders firmly. They suppressed the firepower with the wrong angle, and the infantry quickly approached the position with the help of the visible cover.
In the distance, Tachibana Norio looked at the progress of his soldiers on the battlefield and was very satisfied. This Chinese army was stronger than he had expected. At the very least, their firepower was reasonable, which meant that the commander of this Chinese army was quite outstanding.
However, this was nothing to him. When his troops jumped into the Chinese trenches, they would collapse. In his memory, the Chinese did not have the courage to fight with the Imperial Army.
"Captain, look, the brave imperial army is about to charge into the enemy's position. We are about to win.”The second lieutenant beside him said excitedly.
"Yes, the heroic imperial army is invincible, be it the English or the lowly Chinese…”
"Bang, bang, bang!" Gunshots several times more intense than before suddenly rang out from the other side of the camp.
"Baka, those despicable Chinese actually hid their firepower and ordered the reserve team to join the attack.”Tachibana's eyes widened as he put down his binoculars and shouted.
It turned out that just as the Japanese were about to rush into the trenches, dozens of submachine guns suddenly appeared in the trenches. Such short-range and fierce bullets swept over a dozen Japanese soldiers near the trenches, and more were suppressed not far away, unable to move.
Now, regardless of whether they attacked or retreated, they had to get those people out. Tachibana Norio felt that he had fallen into a trap. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to take revenge. He also pressed down on the reserve team that was left behind.
There were only a few guards left by Tachibana's side. Almost all of the Japanese soldiers pressed forward, and the Japanese artillery that had been suppressed just now opened fire again.
Zhou Heng, who was observing from the command post, naturally noticed the changes in the Japanese army. He ordered the seven 25-pound field cannons left behind by the British army to fire and suppress them.
The shells kept falling, neither fast nor slow, but they suppressed the Japanese reinforcements not far away. This time, the Japanese army was really in a dilemma. If they retreated, the people behind could run, but the people in front were definitely dead. They couldn't attack.
"Baka, how many cannons did those cunning Chinese people hide? Why didn't they fire at the beginning? There's a conspiracy. Second Lieutenant Hengjing, did the scattered soldiers behind us discover the enemy?”Nozomi Tachibana sensed a conspiracy and asked the second lieutenant beside him.
However, at this moment, the second lieutenant's face was pale. He mumbled," Captain, in order to take down the position, the scattered soldiers at the back have all been thrown into the attack. There are no scattered soldiers at the back now.”
"Pa!" Tachibana Norio gave him a tight slap. This was actually his fault. He wasn't in a hurry to transfer the reserve team up, so there wouldn't be no one left behind.
"Order to turn in, turn…Boom!" The sound of a cannon suddenly rang out from behind him. A cannonball exploded not far from him. He instinctively ducked.
"Behind us, there are enemies behind us. Captain, we are surrounded.”Second Lieutenant Heng Jing said loudly.
"Boom, boom, boom!" As if they had received the signal, the sound of artillery fire came from the airport, and it was extremely fierce. Norio Tachibana saw that his attacking troops were completely enveloped by artillery fire. The troops without cover immediately wanted to retreat, but the bullets on the position became extremely terrifying. They were like crazy raindrops.
Even so, there were still soldiers who ran out of the firing zone. Tachibana knew that his two squadrons were finished. He stood there, not knowing what to do. Second Lieutenant Hengjing reacted quickly and ordered two guards to carry Tachibana and start retreating.
"Kill the Japanese. Go, go, don't let any of them go.”Wang Wenyuan shouted. The soldiers rushed forward while shooting with their submachine guns. They looked at the Japanese with their 38s and did not want to fight with them at all. They used their submachine guns and pistols to pour bullets at close range and send them to hell.
The soldiers in the camp also rushed out. The two squadrons of Japanese soldiers were attacked by more than a thousand people with superior firepower from both sides. Soon, the resistance began to weaken. Many of the Japanese were directly killed by the artillery shells, and the rest were unable to fight back.
"Don't save the Japanese's wounded. Replenish the bullets, replenish the bullets. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.”Meng Fan rushed out and shouted.
Some soldiers didn't even know how fierce the Japanese were, so he still had to shout loudly to get them to pay attention, lest they were tricked by the Japanese. Only dead Japanese were good Japanese, and those who were alive were not good.
