Chapter 259 The Defeated Japanese Army

The brigade commander in the rear of the Japanese army was shocked and angry, "Baga! You are telling me now that Nantianmen cannot be taken down. Do I have to report to my superiors and transfer a division!"

The three captains held their sabers and lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

"The artillery position was bombed, and you all failed. I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. Take down the Nantianmen. If you can't take down the Nantianmen, you should apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"

How can the head of the brigade not be angry? After a few days of observation, they have grasped the latest information on the Nantian Gate. There are not as many Chinese troops stationed on the Nantian Gate as imagined. Their number is likely to be three regiments. Among them, they should be facing the main force of the Chinese people, while the left and right flanks are the auxiliary defense of the Chinese people.

As long as they break through the position of the main regiment of the Chinese, they will be able to rely on the Nantian Gate and threaten the two regiments on the left and right wings.

Originally, this was a winning plan, but they did not expect that in the early morning, their artillery positions were attacked by the Chinese. A large number of artillery pieces were blown up, and the shells hoarding four tents were also blown up. Another batch was transported from the four northeastern provinces, all of which were destroyed by the Chinese in this attack.

These shells were all supported by the rear. There were a total of two hundred guns of various calibers, and they were all destroyed in the explosion.

And these cannons and shells are used to open up the defense line of the Nujiang River. They were mobilized from several regiments, but they were blown up by the Chinese. After hearing the news, the brigade leader said: Almost fainted, he didn't even dare to tell the division commander the news, because these guns were the last batch they left in Burma, and the other guns were drawn to the Pacific War to fight the Allied forces.

The destruction of this batch of artillery and shells was undoubtedly the heaviest blow to the entire Japanese army fighting in Burma.

These cannons are so critical, they were blown up under the eyes of the three regiments, and the whole process took more than half an hour from the beginning to the end of the explosion. What made him most angry was that, The troops they pursued did not even leave a single body of the enemy behind.

In other words, the enemy passed through their line of defense unscathed, and under the eyes of a brigade of 5000 people, it took only half an hour to destroy their vital artillery positions. After scolding the three captains away, Chang sat on the stool angrily, but immediately felt a sense of powerlessness.

The artillery position was bombed, and it was not easy to destroy the Nantianmen occupied by the Chinese with only some small-caliber artillery shells from various regiments.

"idiot!"

He slapped the table vigorously with his hands angrily.

On the Nantian Gate, the soldiers on the second line of defense heard the constant gunshots and the screams of the Japanese devils from time to time. They realized that the Japanese devils were pretending to be corpses again.

They have been tricked by the Japanese devils in this way more than once, and these defeated soldiers hated the Japanese devils in their hearts.

After Xia Yuan shot the last corpse, he quickly ordered Li Wula to take people to collect the weapons, ammunition and individual equipment on the Japanese devils.

"Don't let go of the medicine, the water bottle, and their helmets."

"Yes!"

Li Wula immediately led a small group of rout soldiers out of the bunker, "The others are in charge of the cover!"

He yelled, and quickly ran to the corpse of a Japanese devil, and touched all the weapons, ammunition, and water bottles on the corpse. The soldiers moved very quickly, and they were obviously good at touching corpses. Knowing the location of the bag and knowing how to get the bullet bag is the fastest.

The Japanese devils left more than 40 bullets and nearly a thousand rounds of bullets. The soldiers of the Sichuan Army were basically equipped with the 20-type rifles of the Japanese devils, and each of them could get more than [-] bullets.

After the tentative attack of the Japanese devils ended, the soldiers fell into a state of idleness again. They lit piles of fires in the trenches, mixed the captured canned food with the water scooped from the Nu River, and boiled a pot. Not too bad, Douban ran over with a kettle.

"Leader, drink some water, this water is just boiled."

Xia Yuan took it, took a sip, and asked, "How does it feel to be my deputy?"

Douban held the gun and leaned against the trench, with a simple and honest smile on his face: "Commander, that's up to you to say, it's just amazing, you're so good at shooting guns, I don't even admire Brother Ma, so I admire you, fight!" The Japanese devils hit every shot."

He also said: "If it were me, it wouldn't work. I can't shoot correctly, and I helped carry the ammunition. It's not a problem to change the barrel."

Xia Yuan smiled: "When shooting, you can't aim at the Japanese devil's body, you have to aim forward. When the Japanese devils attack, they run forward. It takes time for the bullet to fly over. If you aim at his body If you shoot with your body, the opponent may run away as soon as the bullet flies past, and the shot will be empty."

When Douban heard this, he said very excitedly: "No wonder the leader is so powerful, I don't even understand these things."

Xia Yuan patted Doubing on the shoulder and said, "Practice more, and you will be able to shoot."

Douban smiled honestly and shook his head: "Commander, I can't come, I'll just be you and Milong's deputy. My former company commander said that every position is like the four tires of a car. One, the car won't run."

Xia Yuan smiled, "Yes, no matter where you are, it is very important. Without you and Yangdanzi, how can I kill so many little devils with the speed of changing bullets by myself? There are also people who kill little devils. You have a piece of credit."

Dou Cake smiled honestly again. Suddenly, his eyes froze, and he pointed to the distance and said, "Japanese devils, Japanese devils!"

Xia Yuan searched for the sound, raised his head and looked into the distance, a huge number of Japanese troops appeared in front of the first line of defense, far more than the previous attacking squadron, the number was about 200 people in a squadron, and scouts were everywhere in the position transmitted information.

"A Japanese squadron launched an attack on Nantianmen!"

Accompanied by the sound of sporadic artillery above the head, it was the remaining cannons of the Japanese army shelling the Nantianmen. The sporadic shells bloomed on the Nantianmen, and the rolled up soil was so gorgeous. As far as the defenders are concerned, there is nothing to fear.

Xia Yuan immediately arranged a defensive task: "Don't panic, everything is going according to plan, wait for the enemy to get closer to 20 meters to shoot and throw grenades! Hold your breath! Hold your breath!"

20 meters is the range that the rout soldiers can basically drop bombs and shoot, which can save ammunition to a great extent and at the same time eliminate the Japanese devils.

The attacking Japanese devils cooperated with each other and kept approaching Nantianmen as combat objects. After crossing the first line of defense, they attacked the second line of defense. They advanced very cautiously, holding guns and staring cautiously ahead. Sporadic shells Exploding on the second line of defense, the few remaining cannons of the Japanese devils did not cause much casualties to the rout soldiers on the second line of defense. They hid in the bomb shelters and waited for the Japanese artillery to pass.

Veterans are afraid of machine guns, and recruits are afraid of shelling.With such sporadic shelling, many veterans who survived the battlefield have their own methods of avoiding the shelling. They listen to the position of the shelling sound in the sky, estimate where the shells will fall, and then quickly avoid the falling shells in the sky. Cannonballs, so, facing the shelling of the Japanese devils, the rout soldiers did not panic much.

They still kept their defenses in an orderly manner. After the Japanese bombardment, they quickly got out of the bunker, found their fighting position, aimed at the Japanese army ahead, and waited quietly for the moment when the battle would start.

Xia Yuan still put a lot of effort into the second line of defense. He estimated that after blowing up the Japanese artillery positions, the second line of defense would have to hold on for at least three days.

The longer you stick to it, the more beneficial it will be for them.

The broken soldiers on the second line of defense could already see the Japanese attacking figure, and the distance between the two sides continued to increase.

Xia Yuan directed the sergeant at the battlefield behind the Japanese army. When the Japanese army approached the forward position of the second line of defense, the Japanese sergeant drew out his saber, raised his arm high, and pointed the shining saber at the sky. The Japanese army who had been advancing cautiously suddenly seemed to have gone crazy, and the battle formation that was advancing cautiously suddenly dispersed into a skirmish line.

With their guns in hand, they quickly rushed to the second line of defense.

Just after the Japanese sergeant who shouted to attack gave the order to charge, a bullet suddenly shot down from the second line of defense, and the Japanese sergeant fell heavily to the ground. Frightened, he immediately went to check on the Japanese sergeant's injuries, and heard the faint sound of bullets whizzing through the sky, and then his eyes went dark, and his head fell on the Japanese sergeant's body.

The battle is imminent.

The soldiers on the forward positions of the second line of defense threw grenades at the attacking Japanese devils, the soldiers on the second trench fired at the Japanese devils, and in the designed firepower point set up on the third trench, several gunners became skilled gunmen. The shooting firepower composed of veterans shot the Japanese devils rushing up one bullet after another.

The soldiers on each trench had a clear division of labor and each performed their duties. When the Japanese devils of more than 200 people approached the forward position of the second line of defense, a large area had fallen. , were all killed by Xia Yuan one by one.

Yang Danzi and Doubing grabbed a handful of bullets, quickly helped Xia Yuan press the bullets, handed them over after pressing the bullets, took the empty gun and continued pressing the bullets.

This is Xia Yuan's countermeasure to deal with the Japanese army's attack, each perform their duties and make the best use of everything.

The second line of defense dug three trenches. The trenches at the forward position twisted forward and extended a soldier pit, which could accommodate two soldiers. They could throw grenades at the Japanese army in the individual soldier pit. When the Japanese army approached the forward position At the same time, they can retreat through the crooked, 'S'-shaped traffic trenches. On the way of retreat, there are blocking pits. Two soldiers cooperate with each other. You retreat and I block. They can give the Japanese army the greatest casualties and use grenades. , can greatly disrupt the formation of the Japanese offensive, causing it to become chaotic.

Xia Yuan sniped and killed the Japanese commander on the battlefield, making it difficult for the Japanese army to form an offensive formation in a short time after being blown up by the grenade.

The second trench is fire suppression. They don't need to shoot accurately, they just need to keep pulling the trigger on the Japanese army. The Japanese army who was blown up by the soldiers on the front line with grenades is the weakest combat power. At that time, they could easily suppress the attacking Japanese army.

The third is the most important thing. The design firepower points set up adopted the way Xia Yuan learned from the US military to build machine gun bunkers on Shangganling. Using logs and adding a layer of thick soil can greatly reduce the Japanese artillery shells. After the Japanese artillery positions were destroyed, all large-caliber guns were lost, and it was difficult for small-caliber guns to blast such a designed firepower point.

Looking for a few soldiers who are proficient in shooting and accurate marksmanship, put them in these shooting firepower points to shoot accurately at the suppressed Japanese army.

Such close cooperation requires a unified command. Long Wenwen and Meng Fanle continued to walk between the two trenches through the communication trench, passing on orders, so that the defeated soldiers could maximize their combat effectiveness, without the threat of shells, Every broken soldier lay on the trench unharmed and shot at the Japanese army.

A Japanese squadron of more than 200 people faced two companies on the second line of defense, a line of defense with 300 people stationed, and it was a line of defense that was closely and orderly defended by rout soldiers, a seemingly indestructible line of defense.

"Use bad moves, beat them with bad moves!"

Long Wenwen shouted loudly, his voice mixed with a tone of hatred for iron and steel. He kept beating the defeated defensive soldiers, and stared at the attacking Japanese army. He opened his mouth. A Japanese squadron in charge of attacking Blocked on the second line of defense, they no longer attacked as desperately as before, but began to look for bunkers such as bomb craters, and shot at the broken soldiers on the second line of defense.

"See, the Japanese devils are afraid. As long as they stop, it means that they are afraid. What does the Japanese devils mean by being afraid? It shows that we are better than them, stronger than them! The little Japanese devils rely on their guns Bullying us, now there are no guns, you look at what they look like now."

Long Wenwen shouted loudly on the battlefield, the bullets whizzed through the top of his head, hitting him with his head curled up and hugging his body, waiting for the bullets on his head to run out, then stood up again and continued shouting loudly: "There are no more cannons, they Just like us, the little Japanese devils can’t do it anymore, we used to use two battalions to cooperate with one devil’s squadron, or even one regiment to besiege, but now, we only use two companies for one squadron.”

"Two companies. In the past, two companies were not enough for a squadron of other little devils to fill our teeth. Now, a squadron of little devils is not enough for our teeth. Hahahaha, Feng Shui turns."

Facing a squadron of Japanese soldiers, the soldiers on the second line of defense became more and more courageous. Seeing that the Japanese devils were dying, they screamed excitedly, especially after Long Wenwen finished cursing, the fighting mood of the defeated soldiers All-time high.
