"Deputy brigade commander, withdraw. The enemy's artillery fire is too fierce. We may take it back at night at worst!"
"Why are you yelling? The division headquarters has strict orders. If there is no order from the division commander, I have to stand up to you. People are in the position!"
"Deputy brigade commander, the brigade commander has died for his country, and Commander Li has also died for his country. If we continue to fight like this, we will have to deal with it here. Leave some seeds for our 201 Brigade."
.....
"Deputy Brigadier, the Japanese plane is coming again——"
The words of the leader of the 401 regiment were drowned by the Japanese bombing. A series of heavy bombs fell from the sky, blowing up the ruins of the Luodian position even more horribly. If you pick up a handful of loose soil, it will turn bloody.
As soon as the Japs' plane left, groups of Japs approached them... -------
The deputy commander of the 201st Brigade and the commander of the 401st Regiment were dug out of the floating soil. The deputy commander spit out a mouthful of dirt from his mouth, and then cursed:
“You damn little devil, I almost buried you alive!
Why are you still standing there? Get ready to fight and drive all the sons of bitches away. "
The leader of the 401st regiment shook off the mud on his body, took out his box cannon and roared:
"Guard Platoon, follow me!"
In order to repel the Japanese attack, Hu Jun, the commander of the 401 regiment, brought the last guard platoon up, leaving only two guards beside the deputy brigade commander.
At the Japanese headquarters, the captain of the 44th Regiment and Colonel Chitaka held their telescopes high, always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield. For this attack, he was bound to win. Next to him was the captain of the 43rd Regiment, Colonel Ozawa Masaru. In order to win In Luodian, the Japanese used two main regiments, which was comparable to the battle of Lushun decades ago.
"Ozawa-kun, I heard that our opponent has changed his general. He has been replaced by Huang Peiwo, the first-term Confucian general of Huangpu. Judging from his fighting style, he is not comparable to Confucianism. He is a strong general. He is preparing to go head-to-head with the imperial army. , he is really a commander with a unique style, and I am suddenly full of expectations for this head-to-head competition."
The words of Colonel Kazuchi Taka also aroused Ozawa's interest, and he said disdainfully:
"Zhizhijun, compared to the previous General Li, I prefer to fight with General Huang who returned from studying in our ally Germany;
Germany's military strategy is indeed advanced, but it is not suitable for China. One of their divisions does not have as many artillery pieces as one regiment of the Imperial Army, not to mention that the Imperial Army can also be supported by naval artillery from the Air Warriors and the Navy's Red Deer. The main guns of the lightest destroyers all have a caliber of 127 mm. What can they use to go head-to-head with the imperial army?
Fists? "
After Colonel Ozawa finished speaking, he raised his fist very arrogantly and made a gesture, which immediately caused Second Colonel He Zhiying to laugh. The two old devils laughed very wildly;
Ozawa was indeed right. What they were least afraid of was this kind of head-on fighting. After repeated bombardments by aircraft and artillery, more than half of the Chinese troops on the position had suffered casualties, and almost all the fortifications were destroyed. How could they withstand a regiment? attack?
Colonel Ozawa was really right. The current situation of the 201st Brigade is very bad. We haven’t seen the Japanese yet, and more than half of the personnel have been casualties. This was after a replenishment. The fortifications were almost completely destroyed, and the remaining soldiers With simple light weapons, you can only bring the Japanese closer and then attack them, because they have almost no long-range firepower.
Although the 67th Division was also one of the first adjustment divisions, they were still very different from divisions like the 87th, 88th, and 36th;
The organization is the same. Before the adjustment, there were three regiments under the division. Now it has been adjusted to two brigades and four regiments. The directly affiliated troops include one engineering company, one communications company, one health team, one special agent company, and one baggage company.
The biggest difference is in weapons and equipment. After the adjustment, the 67th Division has all been equipped with 6,000 new Hanyang-made guns, 324 Czech light machine guns, 72 31st heavy machine guns, and 24 82 mortars. The best artillery. It is the 82 mortar, and divisions like the 87th and 88th have a 76mm German orogen artillery battalion and a large number of MP28 submachine guns. Except for the Czech light machine gun, which is one for each squad, the others have quality differences. Difference.
Especially artillery, even though it is only a mountain artillery battalion, the difference in attack ability is not the same. This is Chen Cixiu's 18th Army. After that, there is really only one M35 helmet left. The so-called virtue mechanics are all false propositions.
Since each regiment only had 6 mortars, it was impossible to compete with the enemy's firepower. Therefore, when the enemy launched a charge, the 7 mortars of the 201st Brigade (5 of which had been lost) did not dare to take the lead. Most of the machine guns were lost, and 30% of the light machine guns were lost. There was really no good way except to bring the Japanese closer and hit them.
When the Japs' skirmisher line advanced to only about a hundred meters away from the front trenches, the 201st Brigade's machine gun company finally couldn't bear it any longer and unleashed a burst of firepower on the Japs, mowing down a large area of the Japs rushing at the front. But it also exposed its position;
After being hit suddenly, the Japanese infantry threw themselves on the ground to avoid the hail of bullets, waiting for the regiment's mountain artillery brigade to clear the obstacles for them.
Sure enough, not long after, the shells fired by the 16 75mm mountain guns of the Guizishan Artillery Battalion flew over, covering the position of the machine gun company as if they had eyes. The last few mortars of the machine gun company only had time. Three heavy machine guns were withdrawn and almost all the heavy machine guns were lost;
A brigade of the Central Army engaged in an artillery battle with a Japanese regiment and was completely beaten. Huang Peiwo frowned deeply in the command room. This was completely different from what he had learned in Germany. The artillery battle between the two sides ended without even starting.
When the Japanese infantry saw that the Chinese heavy firepower that was the greatest threat to them had failed to fire, they immediately got up from the ground one by one as if they had been beaten to death, and continued to charge towards the 201st Brigade's position;
Private Kazuo Yoshino rushed to the front with a slender 38 rifle. He comes from a small fishing village on the coast of Hokkaido. This village is visited by typhoons all year round. Every typhoon will bring huge disasters to their village. It is common for villagers to be swept into the sea. It is also common for entire boats to be overturned when fishing.
At this time, his father would tell him that North China and Shuzhong are paradises on earth, where as long as you drop a seed, a whole field of crops will grow, and there will be no disasters all year round;
Only when the empire occupies China will our descendants be safe from such disasters. His father is too old to conquer China for the empire, so the mission of the jihad was entrusted to him. Under such influence, he participated in the jihad as soon as he graduated from middle school. The Japanese couldn't wait to come to China to fulfill his father's last wish.
Before he set off, his teacher said to him:
"Yoshino-kun, look, the territory of China is so beautiful! Does it look like a beautiful crabapple leaf? This is the territory that the empire should have. The lowly Chinese people do not deserve such a perfect land. This place can only belong to the empire. Really I envy you young people that you can conquer China for His Majesty the Emperor. Remember, you must conquer China!
As long as you conquer China, the teacher will betroth Masako to you! "
When he thought of Masako's delicate hands and that doughy face, his blood boiled with excitement, and he wanted to rush to the position of the 201st Brigade immediately. Perhaps he was rushing too quickly, and he was killed by a corpse. The corpse of the devil tripped and fell, and a dog ate its shit;
Before he could get up, intensive gunshots rang out from the previously silent Chinese battlefield. Rains of bullets hit the Japs around him, mowing down all the Japs who shared his jihadist ideals.
One of them was his good friend, Goro Ogawa. His brains were beaten out, and red and white sprayed on his face. He was so frightened that he almost cried. Only then did he realize that the jihad was not what he imagined. It's so fun, but the Chinese guns will kill them...
