Years of the Republic of China 1913

The 27th Group Army was originally an expansion of the local divisions. Although Zhang Zuolin's original 27th Division was stronger than the 28th Division, its training and combat effectiveness were far inferior to that of the Central Yang Army. valley bottom.If it weren't for Sun Liechen's high prestige on weekdays and timely response after the shelling, I'm afraid the 54th Division would have disappeared in smoke. That's exactly what happened. When the Japanese army rushed to a distance of [-] meters, the terrified soldiers involuntarily pulled the trigger in advance. All of a sudden, Sun Liechen's scheduled arrangements were disrupted.

"Mom fuck up, hit!"

Now it is not a question of who will shoot first. Sun Liechen gave the official shooting order with a curse. A series of gunshots rang out. There were only a few who fell, and most of them fell to the ground when they heard the gunshot.

I didn't expect that there would be a counterattack from the squadron's position. Except for a few unlucky ones who were shot by bullets, all the Japanese soldiers who responded in a timely manner were lying on the ground. The bullets whistling across their heads did not reach Sun Liechen It was originally intended to give the attacking Japanese army a powerful counterattack.

"Hi!"

After firing for a while, seeing that the effect was not great, Sun Liechen ordered the shooting to stop.Then he watched helplessly as the Japanese army dragged the casualties back, and he was so angry that he punched the dirt wall with his fists.

"Check it out! Let me check it out! Who the hell fired first?" This time the real two armies fought, and only a few Japanese soldiers were killed. The furious Sun Liechen roared with bare eyes, and soon a soldier was dragged away When he came out, the panicked 19-year-old soldier was the first to shoot.

Without further ado.He took out the gun and killed the soldier on the spot. Sun Liechen waved the gun and roared at the surrounding officers and soldiers like thunder: "Who the hell doesn't obey orders and shoots randomly, this is the end!"

Everyone who was swept by his gaze shivered in their hearts, and quickly nodded in response.Just when Sun Liechen was about to arrange again, the muffled gunfire sounded again in the distance, his face suddenly changed drastically, he hurriedly shouted to hide, bowed his waist and hid to the side.

Immediately after the failed Japanese army withdrew, it launched a second bombardment.The shells hit more accurately and fiercely than before.The first wave of bombardment smashed the machine gun positions fired in front to pieces, and then repeatedly plowed back and forth on the second line of defense, making the remnants of the 54th Division tremble with fear.

fortunately. The trenches of the second line of defense of the 27th Group Army were dug deep enough, and the pits to avoid the shelling were also arranged reasonably, although the Japanese army's shelling time was longer, larger and more violent this time.However, the actual casualties of the prepared 54th Division were not too large.Twenty or ten minutes later, the sound of the guns finally faded away. Shaking his humming head, Sun Liechen shouted for the soldiers to prepare for battle, and reiterated that whoever dared to shoot early would be shot.

As soon as he walked out of the cave, the Japanese army on the opposite side launched a second attack. This time it was different from the last time. The Japanese army was much more cautious. There were more than 300 Japanese soldiers holding rifles in a khaki-colored area. People rushed over from the opposite side.Among them were several shooters carrying Hotchkiss machine guns scattered among the assault team, trying to use the power of the machine guns to tear through 54's defense.

After rushing to a distance of [-] meters, the Japanese army first set up the Hatzikis machine gun, and rushed at Sun Liechen's side for a while to cover the charge of the Japanese army group.At the same time, the cannons of the Japanese army did not stop completely, and they extended forward one after another.

"Come closer and shoot, no one is allowed to shoot in advance!" Sun Liechen ordered loudly, flicking his tongue. The Japanese machine guns fired so fiercely that he didn't dare to raise his head to observe, so he could only count the Japanese army based on the included angle. distance.When the Japanese army rushed to about 80 meters, Sun Liechen took a deep breath and shouted: "Fight!"

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a burst of gunshots, and the dozen or so Japanese troops rushing to the front fell down like sacks, but instead of stopping, the Japanese troops behind them accelerated their charge, rushing over madly, shouting.

"Hit! Give me a hard hit! Shoot! Damn, what about the machine gun? Give me a shot immediately!"

The distance of 80 meters passed in a blink of an eye, and the Japanese army rushing to the front in the blink of an eye was less than 30 meters away. Hiding in the trenches, one could clearly see the ferocious faces of the Japanese soldiers and their rifles with blue light in their hands.After several volleys of guns, the Japanese army fell dozens of people. As the distance got closer, the Japanese machine guns and rifles also fired more violently. The Chinese soldiers in the trenches gradually suffered casualties. Sun Liechen decisively let his machine gun start He fired, but he didn't expect that after the order went down, only one of the three machine guns fired, and there was no movement in the other two directions.

"Master, the machine gun was blown up by the cannon, what should I do?"

"Damn it! Fire it! Don't we still have small cannons? Fire me right away!" Sun Liechen was extremely anxious, seeing that the Japanese army was about to charge up, and without the machine gun, the only weapon in the soldier's hand was the rifle. It is impossible to stop the Japanese army who is not afraid of death. At this time, I wanted to use the few remaining mortars as trump cards, and Sun Liechen couldn't care about it anymore. is about to fall.

30 meters, 20 meters, ten meters... The Japanese army, who had paid dozens of lives, was about to rush into the Chinese positions. The Japanese soldiers were all trembling with excitement, as if victory was at hand.

"Boom, boom..." A few muffled sounds came suddenly, followed by a sharp whistling sound, and a few rounds of black shells fell into the charging crowd of Japanese soldiers and exploded violently.

"Cannons! The Chinese have cannons!" The sudden shelling blinded the charging Japanese army, and a second lieutenant commanding the charge fell to the ground, shouting in horror.At this moment, a few more shells came from the direction of the Hatzikis machine gunner who was madly sweeping towards the Chinese position. Although he missed a direct hit, the machine gunner was so frightened that he quickly dropped his machine gun and hid aside.

To be honest, the accuracy of the mortarmen of the 54th Division was not very good, but the sudden shelling split the attacking Japanese army into two pieces. Heading forward desperately, a dozen or so Japanese soldiers behind were bombarded to death at once, and scattered in all directions in fright. As for the machine guns, they stopped for a while due to the shelling. The pressure was greatly reduced, and he took this opportunity to desperately pull the bolt to shoot at the rushing Japanese army, and his accuracy improved a lot.

When Sun Liechen saw the effect of the artillery shelling, he hurriedly asked another company to come up from behind, and cooperated with the defensive troops to make a small counterattack in front of the position. The force was not small, the Japanese army who had left behind dozens of corpses hurriedly retreated, only to be beaten back all of a sudden.

"It's so dangerous..." Seeing that the Japanese army was repelled, Sun Liechen broke into a cold sweat and secretly said luckily.Afterwards, he found out that one of the three machine guns was discovered by the Japanese army when it fired for the first time, and received special care at the beginning of the shelling, and was broken into parts. The extended artillery fire was hit, and it also lost its effect. Now there is only the last machine gun left in the second line of defense. If Sun Liechen hadn't disconnected the artillery, the position may have fallen.

This time, the Japanese army was repelled, will he be so lucky next time?Sun Liechen didn't know the truth at all. In fact, the Japanese army was beaten back rather than scared back. The Japanese army's second charge was estimated to have killed about 50 people, and it didn't hurt their vitality at all. , On the contrary, due to the artillery fire and machine gun suppression of the Japanese army, more than [-] people were killed or injured, not to mention the loss of the two important machine guns that lost their function.

During the First World War, the combat methods of various military forces were still in a simple procedure. The attackers were nothing more than artillery bombardment and group charges, and this was what the Japanese army used.From this point of view, the 54th Division, as the defender, actually took advantage of it. As long as there are sufficient troops and preparations, it is not a big problem to rely on trenches to hold the line of defense.However, because the Japanese army launched an offensive suddenly, the 54th Division suffered heavy losses on the first line of defense. Not only did most of them suffer casualties, but they also lost most of their heavy weapons.

Without sufficient machine gun and artillery support, it is still very difficult to deal with group charges with a single-shot rifle.Fortunately, the 54th Division, known as the Standing Division, is actually not very good. Compared with the strong European army, the Japanese Army is only a third-rate cargo. The defense line of the garrison, I am afraid that the three hundred soldiers who rushed up will be able to escape, and most of them will stay in front of the position.However, Sun Liechen's [-]th Division was already half disabled, and the preparations for the second line of defense were not sufficient. Moreover, Zhang Zuolin thought it was troublesome when setting up the line of defense. In the case of insufficient troops and weapons, it is not bad to be able to fight like this.

At nine o'clock in the morning, half an hour had passed since the Japanese army's second charge failed. Sun Liechen readjusted his deployment based on the experience of the previous two rounds, preparing for another Japanese attack.He took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time. Sun Liechen wondered how much time Zhang Zuolin would need to prepare for the third line of defense, and sent troops to respond to his retreat. Protection against re-engagement.

While Sun Liechen tried every means to delay time and defend the line of defense, Zhang Zuolin of the North Camp was of course not idle.Timing is everything, Zhang Zuolin dispatched troops a series of generals, already let Zhang Zuoxiang go to the third line of defense, and sent an urgent telegram to Zhong Yang and his allies to report the battle situation in Fengtian.

"Where's Tang Yulin? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Zhang Zuolin just finished explaining something to the North Camp, but he still didn't see Tang Yulin after looking left and right. He was so angry that he cursed.

"Fuck me, find this boy for me, even if he is hiding in the den!" The general disappeared during the war, Zhang Zuolin was so angry that he wanted to kill, this Tang Yulin usually bluffed, but at a critical moment He didn't even show his face. If he really ran away, he would have to be spared.
