All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 301, The Fierce Battle of the Sixth Day

The airport offensive and defensive battle came to the sixth day.

According to the usual practice, 2 minutes of heavy artillery fire preparations were carried out.

A group of newly rotated Japanese troops rushed towards the airport position in a two-stage skirmish line.

Every piece of land they passed under their feet was watered with the blood of their comrades.

The flesh and blood that could not be cleaned up already stinks and has maggots, plus the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke, the pungent smell goes straight to the brain, which adds a bit of horror.

The quietness of the enemy is just ready to go, and it is not as easy to fight as they thought.

The Japanese soldiers who came up in rotation were a little more cautious in bending forward.

The infantry approached a certain distance, and the [-]-style and crooked handles from the rear opened fire first, and the bullets hit the sandbags with puffs, splashing smoke and dust at the starting point.

In an attempt to suppress the enemy and provide cover for the Japanese soldiers who are about to charge.

More than a dozen puffs of white smoke rose from the hillside, and the rockets screamed, flying over the heads of the Japanese soldiers in front, and landed directly on the position of the Type [-] heavy machine gun.

This is a clear signal to fight back.

Another rattling gunshot joined the sonorous sound.

In an instant, more than a dozen firepower points appeared in the position on the hillside.

The [-]th light machine gun suppressed the front row, and the [-]th heavy machine gun aimed at the rear row. An airtight firepower net was arranged in a cross pattern, covering all the attacking Japanese troops in an instant.

The orange flames of the machine gun ruthlessly devoured the little devil's life.

The [-]-type heavy machine gun and the crooked handle were ruthlessly suppressed, and the little devils who rushed in front swept away a large area like they were being cut.

Even though the Japanese army suffered many losses and the line of skirmishers was stretched so hard that they could no longer disperse, they still couldn't control the huge casualties.

"……call out!"

"Your sister, it's a cannon again, hurry into the cannon hole!"

"The position of the machine gun has shifted." Milong shouted eagerly.

A few shells screamed and landed on the position, and a few flames rose instantly, and the exploding shrapnel raged in the air.

The soldiers who were still fighting back bravely just now rushed into the anti-gun hole a few steps away from them.

Based on the experience of the past few days, once the guns are fired, it is not a few shots.

Sure enough, as soon as people got into the anti-blasting hole, the shells fell like raindrops, as if they were going to smash the earth into pieces.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the attacking Japanese soldiers quickly approached the position where they could charge at 150 meters, risking being accidentally injured by their own artillery fire.

It was too close, and a small number of shells had already hit the heads of the Japanese soldiers.

Going forward, before anyone can rush to the position, they have to be reimbursed by their own artillery fire.

The artillery fire continued for 1 minutes and began to extend to the rear.

"Yoxi, attack!" The second lieutenant who led the attack drew out his command knife and waved forward, shouting hoarsely.

The little devil quickly got up and attacked forward, following behind the impact point of the shell, as if charging against the shell fire.

Although there is still a risk of being accidentally injured by artillery fire, it is better to be accidentally injured by artillery fire than to face a storm-like firepower net.

Picking the lesser of two evils is the best way out of nowhere.

"The little devils are less than 100 meters away from the position, and they are about to come up."

The observer, who risked being killed by the artillery fire, shouted hoarsely.

Hearing the sound, the soldiers quickly crawled out of the hole, risking being killed by shells, and took their guns to the battle position.

The muzzles of each black hole, at this distance, the soldiers can even see the ferocious expression of the little devil not far away.

And at this distance, hundreds of rounds and thousands of bullets have been fired for veterans who are still alive, and even idiots have similar accuracy.

Without ordering, the soldiers fired tacitly, attacking every exposed enemy within sight with bullets.

The range of the airport position was not large, and the dense firepower formed overlapping intersections in a narrow space. The Japanese army rushed close, providing the best prerequisites for aiming.

The Japanese army rushing to the front was once again cut down in batches.

"Quickly get down and fight back on the spot."

The experienced non-commissioned officer of the Japanese army was the first to lie down and reminded the soldiers to look for bunkers.

The one with big rocks next to it is the best, some found the shallow pit left by the shell and rolled into it, and some hid behind the corpse.

It turned out to be of little use.

When the heavy machine gun was set up again, a frightening orange flame glowed from the muzzle.

The [-]-type heavy machine gun can even pierce a [-]mm steel plate, let alone a person of flesh and blood, who hides behind the corpse as a dead person, and becomes a dead person in minutes.

It is not safe to hide behind the rocks. The bullets shattered the rocks, and one can imagine the fate of no one in the bunker.

"Throw a grenade and kill 'em!"

With a roar, Milong threw out the long-handled grenade in his hand, and the soldiers around him also threw out the grenade.

A sergeant lying in the crater held his gun and grinned, not daring to show his face, thinking that he could survive by doing so.

Seeing the black solid object flying in the sky, he closed his eyes in despair.

"Ruined."

Pillars of smoke rose from the explosion of the grenade, and the little devil could not be spared when he got down.

The attack had already failed. The Japanese army in the rear sent out a signal to retreat, but those who rushed to the front were about to die. How could the few few be able to retreat under the enemy's gunpoint.

Artillery fire and heavy machine guns began to cover, and dozens of people were finally withdrawn without the entire army being wiped out.

"It can be seen that the heavy artillery of the defenders has been completely lost, and they cannot even engage in artillery battle with us.

But their automatic firepower is too strong, and their experience is quite rich. It is very difficult to attack them overnight. "

Takeuchi Lianshan, who was watching the battle from behind, put down the binoculars in his hand, and said with a rather pessimistic feeling.

Losing two squadrons in one attack, no matter how strong the family is, they can't afford such consumption.

During the six-day battle, the frontline offensive infantry suffered more than [-] casualties, all thanks to the continuous replenishment from the divisions, otherwise the Takeuchi United would have been wiped out long ago.

The chief of staff of the wing next to him said: "Takeuchi-san, but the task our wing received was to take down the Gold Mine Airport.

The head of the division is paying attention, and the headquarters of the Burma Expeditionary Force is also watching.

We have now paid a heavy price for this, which is even more tragic than the [-]-day bloody battle between the divisions in Tonggu.

If we shrink back at this time, we will not be able to explain to the superior at all. "

A strong sense of powerlessness struck, and Takeuchi Lianshan clenched his fists tightly. Only in this way can he feel that his body still contains strength.

The chief of staff was quite right.

28 aircraft were lost, more than 50 artillery pieces of various types were lost, and various casualties rose to nearly [-], almost [-] a day.

The battle with the ancients lasted for thirteen days, and it was still a crucial battle, not as much as this one.

The crucial battle was won, and the tragic victory was also a victory, and there was an explanation for both the top and bottom.

If this battle is not won, they should all go to cut seppuku to thank the emperor and comfort the dead souls.

"Report, the Divisional Headquarters sent a telegram asking if more air support is needed?"

"Understood, call back,... don't need it for now."

The airport has been overturned by bombs, and there is no longer any target worth bombing. With the battle like this, Takeuchi Lianshan really has no face to continue to ask for air support.

The chief of staff reminded him: "The general still wants to ask when we can take down the airport. Others, the general's stomach will not care."

Takeuchi Lianshan was full of helplessness and exhaustion, and asked in a hoarse voice: "The enemy is like a group of mice. When the cannon was fired, they hid in the hole. When the cannon stopped, people came out again.

The automatic firepower is still very intensive. The firepower of our infantry cannot be suppressed, and it is impossible to send tanks to climb up the slope. Can you tell me how this can be fought down? "

To use a figurative metaphor, the mouse pulls the tortoise and has nowhere to start.

"I think..." The chief of staff of the alliance was stopped by the question, and after thinking for a long time, he choked out a sentence:
"We have destroyed the enemy's artillery and removed the threat of troops passing through the road. The pursuing troops should be able to continue northward."

Takeuchi Lianshan was preoccupied with capturing the airport, and almost forgot the overall strategy: "Oh, this is rare good news, it might make the general happy.

However, we have been blocked here for six days, and no one can say whether we can continue to catch up with the [-]th Division. "

The chief of staff followed Takeuchi Lianshan, who had returned to the wing command post, and said as he walked, "The Gold Mine Airport has been completely surrounded by us. The time is not so tight, we can use more tactics."

Takeuchi Lianshan nodded approvingly: "That's right, with plenty of time, we can take advantage of our alliance's civil engineering work, even if we dig, we can dig under the enemy's feet."

"The enemy has no reinforcements, and no supplies. The situation will only get worse if you continue to hold on..."

The two discussed and discussed, only felt that the prospect was quite clear, and the victory would belong to them after all.

The haze of defeat in previous battles was swept away.
