As soon as the Japanese artillery preparations were completed, the infantry rushed forward in dense numbers. A large group was divided into three echelons and launched a group charge on a front that was 500 meters wide to defend;
The three echelons of the Japs are also very particular in their formation. The main attacker is in the middle, with about 2 infantry squadrons of Japs. There are also several bean tanks accompanying the attack, lined up in a row, accompanied by riflemen. both sides.
Behind are grenadiers and machine gun teams, with heavy machine guns attached to the machine gun position five hundred meters away;
There is a squadron of Japanese soldiers on each wing, mainly for flanking the independent battalion's position. There are special artillery positions for mortars and infantry artillery, which are guarded by a cavalry regiment.
The position of the artillery brigade directly under the wing is located one kilometer away, and is also protected by the cavalry wing and an infantry squadron. The main force of the wing is camped 500 meters away, and a circular defensive position is built around it. The most important wing headquarters and baggage are Hidden in the core position;
There are three floors inside and three floors outside. They are very well protected. It has to be said that even when the Japanese are attacking, their defense is very tight. These are all written into the Japanese infantry drill. They want to make a sneak attack while they are camping. They are difficult unless there are large numbers of long-range artillery.
The Yagi Brigade had the idea of taking over the independent battalion positions in one go, so they invested the strength of a whole brigade at once and used all their strength as soon as they came up;
Continuous copper whistles also sounded on the Independent Battalion's position. Groups of soldiers emerged from hidden exits one after another, and then used the shovels in their hands to clear out the positions for combat. They were all filled with loose soil. It’s also easy to clean.
Since the Japanese were led by a few bean tanks, the defenders were not eager to expose their light and heavy machine gun firepower. Instead, they decided to put their tanks into the position and then fight. The anti-tank trenches they had built before were covered with floating soil. and thin wooden boards that could only bear the weight of one person;
There is no problem for people to step on it, but once a tank weighing more than a few tons presses on it, it will break. The Japanese will naturally not know what is going on inside, and they will still charge forward defiantly, with the Japanese infantry accompanying them on both sides or behind. , the first-level units of the Bullying Chinese Battalion do not have anti-tank weapons.
In order to get rid of these tanks, the first company set up a demolition team. The team leader was platoon leader Hu Hao. He was waiting for the Japanese tanks to enter with his brothers in the demolition team.
There were only a few people on the Independence Battalion's position. The Japanese thought they had all been buried in the soil by the previous bombing and shelling, so the tanks gave them a lot of confidence, and they rushed to the Independence Battalion with a golden sword. The battalion's carefully prepared anti-tank trenches....
"Fall in!"
"Fall in!"
Demoman Deng Shisheng kept mumbling something. In his hand was a special explosive bag, pull-type, with a charge of more than five kilograms, and two high-explosive detonators. As long as they were thrown into the enemy's tank Go up and blow it up.
Deng Shisheng also participated in the layout of the anti-tank trench. He had no problem stepping on it himself, but there was some trembling. A guy as big as a Japanese iron bastard should have no problem...
At the moment when Deng Shisheng was worried that the anti-tank trench would lose its effectiveness, the bean tank he was staring at suddenly fell down, and then the entire tank fell into the anti-tank trench. There are large numbers of Japanese infantry;
"Bagh Ya Road, there is a trap!"
A Japs officer yelled, and the Japs and tanks that had not yet fallen in began to fire wildly. The battlefield that had been relatively silent before suddenly came to life;
The other tanks hadn't figured out what was going on, but they just pushed forward like a bull. As a result, one after another fell into the anti-tank ditch...
This kind of anti-tank trench is very cleverly designed. Once a tank falls into it, it will be stuck in it, unable to enter or retreat, or retreat. There are also a large number of sharpened wooden stakes inserted in the trench. When the tank falls, These sharp wooden stakes will pierce the chassis of the tank, and some unlucky drivers will be directly skewered into kebabs by the sharpened wooden stakes.
The attacker never showed up, which made the Japanese become even more panicked. They had already reached the point where they were in a state of panic. They fired randomly just to embolden their courage, because they knew that the Chinese people could not have no backup plan.
Sure enough, a dozen machine gun fire points suddenly appeared in the distance, shooting wildly at the panicked Japanese infantry, mowing down the Japanese one by one, and the bullets jingled on the iron sheet of the bean tank.
The Japanese infantrymen who were fired upon by machine guns looked for bunkers to avoid the hail of bullets, while the machine gunners on the Japanese tanks also began to fight back frantically to vent their inner fear;
Seeing the opportunity coming, Hu Hao immediately ordered the demolition team to attack. Deng Shisheng finally received the order to attack and rushed out with the explosive bag.
Since the battlefield was filled with smoke and turned into a pot of porridge, no Japanese noticed Deng Shisheng's actions at all. He was only more than a hundred meters away from the Japanese chariot and was still in the blind spot to the side and front, so he went smoothly. Rushed to a place only ten meters away from the Japanese chariot;
At this time, the Japanese tank tank in the anti-tank trench had not found him yet. He was so happy that he pulled off the pull rope and threw it towards the Japanese tank tank.
The explosive package accurately landed on the roof of the chariot. With a loud bang, the roof of the Japanese chariot was blown off, and several Japanese soldiers inside were also shocked to death by the shock wave.
"Enemy attack—side!"
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
The panicked Japs had no time to react, and Deng Shisheng took off his MP28 submachine gun and fired at the Japs, knocking down several Japs at once;
And he himself was hiding on the flank of the blown tank, protected by the tank armor, making it difficult for the Japanese to hit him.
Demomen braved the hail of bullets and rushed towards the Japs' other stranded tanks, throwing explosive packets at the Japs one by one. Some even rushed towards the Japs holding the packets of explosives, and died together with a group of Japs;
The Japs were fooled by this desperate fighting method. In fact, they are also human beings, and they are also afraid. When you are less afraid of death than him, he may be afraid of death...
Under the desperate attack of the demolition team, and with the support of reasonable tactics, one of the thin-skinned bean tanks of the Japanese was blown up, and a large number of infantry accompanying the attack were killed and injured. The first echelon of the Japanese suffered heavy losses;
The more than 20 people in the demolition team also suffered almost all casualties, because once they were exposed, it would be difficult to escape the firepower of the Japanese infantry. They were more like death squads, trading their own lives for the Japanese tanks and lives.
Platoon leader Hu Hao was shot three times, but the wounds were not fatal. The Japanese had no time to care about the Kuomintang soldiers who fell on the ground. They could not even protect themselves;
Without the fire support of the Japanese tanks, they were swept down one by one under the fire of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns from the independent battalion. The ground was covered with the corpses of the Japanese. Deng Shisheng was one of the few remaining members of the demolition team. , he seized the opportunity and rushed to Platoon Leader Hu, picked up Platoon Leader Hu and ran away. However, no one noticed the Japanese who were beaten and retreating, and Hu Hao saved his life.
Since several Japanese tanks were blown up and dozens of infantrymen were lost, this inevitable attack ended in a confused manner, with a standard anticlimax, and the independent battalion also suffered casualties of more than a dozen demolition team members.
"On Bagaya Road, twenty or thirty people were able to scare off a brigade-level attack of yours, and six precious tanks were lost. You are unworthy of the Emperor's trust in your work!"
Colonel Adachi flew into a rage and scolded Major Yagi severely. After that, he still felt uneasy and slapped him twice more. Only then did he calm down a bit, and then said loudly to Major Yagi:
"Give you one more chance. If you can't take down the Chinese position, you don't have to come back, you loser!"
