"Choo Choo Choo……"
"Boom boom boom boom boom..."
Dozens of 130mm rockets roared and covered the position of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Wing, and the Japanese suffered another devastating blow;
More than half of the casualties had been suffered, and almost all the positions had been bulldozed. At this moment, a battalion of infantry stepped on the artillery point and rushed up. The military leather boots were filled with blood when they stepped on the soil. Occasionally, they stepped on a few broken limbs and broken arms. .
The 300 or 400 Japs who survived on the position fired sporadically at the expeditionary force infantry. Unfortunately, due to heavy equipment losses during the bombing, a few machine guns alone could not stop the charge of an infantry battalion of the New Second Army.
Each infantry battalion of the New Second Army has three infantry companies and one firepower company. They attack along both sides of the Bin River, with two on the left and one on the right. The main attack direction is the left.
The two companies on the left were divided into three echelons, and half of the fire company's supporting firepower accompanied the attack. The total number of people was more than 500, and a skirmisher line of several kilometers was drawn up and swept across the mountains and plains;
The Japanese only had 7 machine guns left, 4 on the left and 3 on the right. The 4 machine guns on the left could not suppress the attack front of more than two kilometers.
Soon the Japanese could no longer withstand it. Colonel Murayama, captain of the Fourth Regiment, could only reinforce two squadrons to the left flank and one squadron to the right early, and then barely blocked the expeditionary force's attack.
The commander in charge of the left-wing attack was First Battalion Commander Jiang Xingfang. Seeing that the Japanese firepower was too dense, he immediately commanded the communications troops and used the newly equipped BC1000 radio station to call for fire support from the rear.
After telling the artillerymen the specific coordinates of the Japanese position, the assault company retreated more than a hundred meters, leaving enough space for the artillery;
The two 130mm rocket launchers equipped by the battalion's artillery company and 16 rockets instantly covered the Japs' positions. The Japs in the two squadrons were engulfed by artillery fire, and most of their personnel and equipment were lost.
Jiang Xingfang was then satisfied and commanded the infantry group to continue charging. The Japanese were completely stunned;
The infantry of the assault company almost rushed to the position, and the Japanese began to counterattack scatteredly.
Such blocking strength could not stop the assault company's attack at all, and they were soon overwhelmed by the assault company.
After the team leader Deng Jianbo rushed to the Japs' position, he held the Garand semi-automatic rifle in his hand. Whenever he saw the shit-yellow figure shaking, he would shoot. A magazine of 8 bullets ensured the continuous output of firepower;
A group of Japanese soldiers rushed towards him with their bayonets straight, trying to kill Deng Jianbo using their most proud assassination tactics.
It's a pity that Deng Jianbo didn't fight them with bayonets at all, but fired at them continuously, knocking down the three Japanese in ten seconds;
The riflemen guarding his left and right wings kept knocking down the Japanese approaching him on both sides. They used Springfield bolt-action rifles.
This is the standard three-person rifle combat team of the expeditionary force. One semi-automatic rifle and two Springfield bolt-action rifles can easily suppress half of the Japanese infantry;
Each squad is composed of four combat teams, equipped with a machine gun, a sniper rifle, two semi-automatic rifles, a submachine gun, and 6 to 7 Springfield rifles. The firepower can resist half a squad of Japanese soldiers.
The sniper rifleman is mainly used to suppress the Japanese machine gunners and grenade launchers. The equipment of the eagle squad is completely used to suppress the Japanese squad.
Each company is equipped with a BC1000 radio station, which can call for support from the battalion artillery at any time. This is equivalent to equipping the artillery with bayonets;
During the charge, once the infantry company finds a firepower point or heavy firepower position that cannot be solved by its own strength, they can call for artillery or even aircraft support.
The Fourth Regiment is the most elite formation of the Japs. They were full of confidence before fighting against the Expeditionary Force. However, after this confrontation, they discovered that they could not adapt to the Expeditionary Force's style of play. Three squadrons could not stop the two companies of the Expeditionary Force. attack;
As long as the Japs were concentrated, they would immediately be attacked by artillery fire. After two squadrons suffered a round of artillery fire, most of them were lost. Then they were charged by the assault company. After a chaotic battle, the Japs on the position were cleared.
Deng Jianbo quickly put on a magazine and shot at the corpses of the Japanese on the battlefield one by one. Soon the magazine was emptied, and he actually caught two of them who were pretending to be dead. They both had a pistol in their hands.
After eliminating the Japs on the first line of defense, the assault company continued the attack;
Jiang Xingfang suddenly heard the sound of a group of artillery shells breaking through the air, and immediately ordered to lie down. As soon as the soldiers of the left attack group lay down on the spot, more than twenty artillery shells hit them, and a series of explosions brought ten to the left attack group. Several casualties.
The enemy's regiment opened fire. This was not something that an infantry battalion could handle. They could only lie on the ground and be bombed.
The Signal Corps began to call for air support, and a few minutes later, two B17 bombers flew over the Jaap Wing artillery position;
The Japanese artillery positions had no time to evacuate, so they were bombed by two flying fortresses of the Yunzheng Army. 16 600-pound aerial bombs were dropped into the Japanese artillery positions...
"Bagaya Road, my artillery position!"
Murayama Iwa closed his eyes in pain, he couldn't fight this battle.
The Chinese were fighting a three-dimensional war, not a contest of an era at all. Now he finally understood the pain of the Chinese.
It's not that the Chinese are not brave, but the difference in firepower is too big. When a regiment is pulled up and bombarded by aircraft and artillery, only half of the regiment is left. This is how the battle loss ratio of several to one is achieved.
Now it was their turn. He had already thrown in two brigades, but failed to block the attack of a Chinese battalion;
There was no way, the expeditionary force's aircraft and artillery knocked down nearly half of their troops, and these achievements were all attributed to this battalion.
The Chinese infantry casualties were less than 100, while the Japanese casualties exceeded 1,300, not counting the losses of the artillery regiment.
13 to 1, everyone will say it is a miracle. The actual number of people killed by the infantry may be less than 300. The rest is the credit of aircraft and artillery. However, in order to destroy the enemy's morale, this achievement is all attributed to the first battalion. .
The Japanese also did this in the past. Just like the Songhu battlefield, a large-caliber naval gun destroyed half a battalion with one shot. These achievements were ultimately attributed to the Japanese army.
On the surface, the Fourth Regiment was fighting a battalion, but in fact it was fighting a dozen fighter planes and an artillery battalion.
In just half a day, the first battalion defeated the Japanese's most powerful fourth regiment.
After wiping out the Japanese artillery, Jiang Xingfang's assault group on the left continued to attack the Japanese defense line in depth. The Japanese could only push the last brigade up, leaving only one regiment headquarters beside Colonel Murayama.
The fierce sound of gunfire rang out again, and the sharp knife company had already attacked the core position of the Japanese. The crossfire of more than a dozen half-open firepower points once again blocked their way forward.
After Jiang Xingfang carefully observed the characteristics of the Japs' firepower points, he decided to use the Mulan cannon of the fire company to solve the problem. Planes and cannons had little effect on the Japs hiding in the caves.
"The first and second companies provided fire cover, and the fire company gave me all the turtle shells!"
Jiang Xingfang ordered domineeringly.
