Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 38: Annihilation of the Honda United Team in the Battle of Xinghe County ([-])

Getting closer and closer, the Japanese army soon entered the shooting range of the defenders, but there was still no movement in the trenches of the squadron.

Honda Shinichi, who had fought against the security regiment for two days, more or less had a certain understanding of the tactics of the opposing Chinese army. From 200 meters away, the Chinese army generally would not shoot. The rate is not high, so they will attack the enemy closer and then fight.

150m...120m...100m...

When the main force of the Fujita brigade had entered the opponent's forward position and was less than 100 meters away, there was only a crisp gunshot from the opposite position. Based on years of military experience, it was judged that this was from a Mauser pistol. It is the main weapon of Chinese army officers.

"Da da da..."

"Da da da..."

With the sound of this gunshot, the Chinese squadron on the opposite side finally reacted. To Shinichi Honda's surprise, the Zhina position, which was still full of holes just now, suddenly changed dramatically. It seemed to pop up suddenly, blocking all the dead ends of the shooting before.

The madness of the Japanese army is unquestionable. Although the two wings could not turn around, and the front passages were all blocked by the Chinese squadron, the Japanese army still desperately charged at the Chinese squadron.

"Da da da"

Machine gunner Wang Huzi stared at the little devil not far away with bloodshot eyes, and kept pulling the trigger with his fingers.To be honest, before the battle started, he was very nervous, and even a little scared.There were rumors about the image of the little devil in the army before. It is said that this little devil has a green face and fangs, a head as big as a bucket, a bloody tongue, and can kill a person with one mouth. under eight.

But since the night before yesterday, the troops have been reporting success. First, an infantry squad and a company of the puppet army were wiped out, and then the two artillery brigades of the little devil were killed. The devil beat him hard all day long, and I heard that there were dead devils all over the road at Stone Buddha Temple.

Before the start of the battle today, the battalion commander also said that last night, the gang of special forces raided the little devil's arsenal and killed a senior officer of the little devil. I heard that he was an officer older than the commander.Not only Fu Zuoyi Provincial Chairman sent a commendation order, but even Marshal Yan, who is far away in Taiyuan, also sent a commendation telegram to the commander. He heard that he was going to be promoted to the commander to be a major general, and he gave tens of thousands of oceans, which made the brothers feel itchy. , secretly thinking that this little devil is too careless to be beaten.

As soon as the battle started in the morning, the little devil sent 200 people to participate in the battle. For the first time, everyone was happy to see the legendary little devil. What kind of blue face and fangs, what kind of head is as big as a bucket? Not small, wearing yellow dog fur, just like a large bullet.

After going down the shuttle, I still fell down and couldn't get up, what the hell.In the first round of counterattack, Wang Huzi killed more than 20 devils with the heavy machine gun in his hand.Seeing that the little devil who was shot was like a deflated ball, Wang Huzi felt so happy, and the hand that pulled the trigger couldn't help being diligent.

The distance of 100 meters was like a chasm of death. No matter how desperate the Japanese army charged, the battle line seemed to be frozen there, not moving forward at all.

Major Fujita's lungs were about to explode. The cunning Chinese people were very cunning. They didn't expose all their firepower in the first round of attack. They didn't expose all of them until the imperial army was about to approach the Chinese position, and beat the imperial army. Caught off guard, the shooting dead ends that were found before were like traps, swallowing a large number of imperial troops.

"Order all the imperial association troops to go to the front, and those who dare to retreat will die." Major Fujita said loudly.

In order to defeat the squadron faster and more effectively, Shao Zuo Fujita only transferred more than 200 people from the cavalry division of the puppet army to assist them in the attack.It's not that Fujita Shaozuo cares about the lives of these puppet soldiers. A guy like him doesn't even care about his own life, so how can he care about other people's lives.

The reason why all the puppet troops are not placed in front like other troops is entirely because Fujita Ichiro does not look down on the combat effectiveness of these puppet troops at all. He believes that in such a battlefield, these puppet troops will not only add chaos to the Japanese imperial army, It has no effect, to put it bluntly, he doesn't even have the qualifications to become cannon fodder for the Imperial Japanese Army.

Originally thought that they had found a loophole in the defense of the Chinese army, but they were suddenly attacked by the squadron. The unit suffered heavy losses in the attack just now. Three infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron were abruptly destroyed. One, even the wounded who fell in front of the position did not have time to be transported, and the troops were repulsed.

Fujita Ichiro is a guy who refuses to admit defeat. Although the second attack was repulsed, he quickly organized a third attack. This time he ordered all the puppet troops to rush to the front, and the Japanese army followed the puppet army later.

Major Fujita's thinking is very simple, he just needs to move his troops to the front of the squadron's trenches, and he will use bayonets to let these hateful Chinese people know that all resisters will be crushed by the tanks of the Great Japanese Empire .Since the Chinese army used heavy machine guns to turn the distance of 100 meters into a death line, then let those useless imperial association troops clear the way ahead. Their only role is to use their bodies to block bullets for the Japanese imperial army. Until it rushed into the position of the Chinese people.

The puppet soldiers couldn't see the Japanese army's intentions, but how could people not bow their heads under the eaves. Originally, when they were puppet soldiers, they were stabbed in the back by people, and they were called traitors or Mongolians.However, all the officers above have taken refuge in the Japanese themselves, so what can they do, they can only put on this yellow dog skin obediently.

It’s okay to be beaten and scolded on weekdays and not be regarded as a human being. On the battlefield, they are treated as free cannon fodder and cheap shields.

But what can be done, the Japanese army's shining bayonet is fixed on the back, if it walks slowly, it will be a heartbreak, and now their situation is to advance or retreat is also a dead end, a dead end!

The ammunition was loaded, the trigger was pulled, such a dense formation, and such a desperate way of fighting shocked the security regiment who was fighting the Japanese army for the first time. Some soldiers could no longer pull the trigger after fighting. Why, because Their psychological defenses collapsed, and they couldn't accept the fact that so many people were killed in such a short period of time.

Not long after the battle started, Chen Feng came to the forward position, and everything under the binoculars could be seen at a glance.Seeing the puppet troops rushing forward were knocked down one by one, the others seemed to continue to rush forward unaffected, and then more people were knocked down, seeing this scene, Chen Feng felt honestly unhappy.

Sorrow, the sorrow of the people, the sorrow of the nation.As an old professor said, Japan itself is not invincible. The past glory they so called, especially those brilliant military achievements during World War II, were only products of a specific era. Provide them with such a platform.

Many people believe that the reason why the Japanese army ran rampant in Asia during World War II was because of their strong combat capabilities. With a small force, they invaded East and Southeast Asia and created many amazing achievements.

But in fact, the comprehensive combat capabilities of the Japanese army were very mediocre, and they were easily repelled by the Soviet army at Nuomenkan, causing heavy losses.In Guadalcanal, they made the U.S. military unable to find the north, and the casualties were five times that of the U.S. military.In northern Myanmar, facing the New 5st Army of the Kuomintang with American equipment, the casualties were 1:7.The million-dollar Kwantung Army, known as the most elite Japanese army, was beaten to the ground by the Soviet Union.

Chen Feng has a standard in mind regarding the fighting power of the Japanese army, that is, they are stronger than the Chinese army. First of all, the large army is stronger than the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party, the New Fourth Army, and the troops of various warlords. The vast majority of the central yang army must also be strong.

However, in the battle sequence of the Nationalist Zheng fuzhong yang army, there are many troops that can compete with the elite of the Japanese army. In other words, the Japanese army is only a little stronger than the Chinese army, and it is far from world-class army.Anything that can compete with the United States or head-to-head with the Soviet Union is nonsense.

When it comes to the War of Resistance against Japan, there are always some people who exaggerate the actual combat effectiveness of the Japanese army during World War II, intentionally or unintentionally boosting the prestige of others and destroying their own ambitions.It is true that the squadron's combat capability is inferior to that of the Japanese army, which is almost a conclusion.In the Battle of Henan in the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, the Japanese Army once set an amazing record of defeating Tang Enbo's division with a mobile brigade. With hundreds of thousands of troops, the Japanese army swept across most of China. At that time, the total number of troops of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in China exceeded 400 million.This seems to prove that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is amazing.But judging from many historical facts, the Japanese army during World War II, on the whole, should be classified as second-rate more appropriately.

I am ashamed to say that most of the most brilliant achievements of the Japanese army during World War II were achieved in the fight against the squadron.In the four and a half years before the Pearl Harbor incident, the Japanese army fought a total of 4 major battles on the Chinese battlefield. The Chinese army was almost defeated, losing major cities and communication lines in the central and eastern regions.

However, this was the product of the special era background at that time. At that time, China's internal political contradictions were sharp, the struggle between the KMT and the Communist Party was fierce, Chiang Kai-shek lacked the actual control power of local warlords, and various local factions were independent. China could not concentrate its national strength and the Japanese army. fight.Moreover, the Japanese army has been preparing for the invasion of China for many years.From equipment to training, it was a level higher than that of the squadron at that time.

In addition, the puppet army is a doggy group. It is precisely because of their existence that first of all, the Japanese army will win before fighting in spirit, while the momentum of the Chinese army will be greatly affected.Therefore, the puppet army is the sorrow of the people of this era and the sorrow of our nation.
