My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 95 The era of bayonets and large blades is over!

The battle on the back and down the slope changes quickly and is quite dramatic.

When Zhang Dabiao rushed down the slope with more than 300 people, Beijing Minghe felt a surge of anger rushing to his forehead, and then exploded in his mind.

The explosion made his eyes blood red and his hair standing on end.

Forget about relying on superior weapons and equipment, superior terrain, and superior firepower, there was nothing he could do about it.

The firepower gap and terrain restrictions cannot be compensated for by bushido spirit and command skills.

But the Eighth Route Army dared to rush down and engage the Imperial Army in close combat?
And there are only so many people?

Do you think that with some weapons and equipment, you can compete with the imperial army?

"kill!"

Kitai Minghe, who was furious, stood up directly with his samurai sword raised in the face of the still falling artillery fire, and ordered his troops to attack the more than 300 people of the first battalion who rushed down.

Of course, Kitai Minghe is not a fool.

They are not charging in a straight line like those Japs in the TV series.

Instead, they repeatedly jumped between natural bunkers and charged in zigzag lines to avoid oncoming bullets.

"Onboard!"

Seeing that his captain was leading the way, the more than 400 Japanese behind him also launched an attack on Zhang Dabiao and others with their bayonets drawn.

It seemed that a bayonet duel was planned.

···
The massive bombardment had ceased, leaving only a few sporadic bombardments - not that the shells were running out.

There are still a lot of artillery shells. The number of 82 mortar shells approved by the regiment commander for this battle is [-] rounds. Not counting packaging and propellant, it is more than [-] tons of shells.

He only used half of it.

Xu Ping also knew that the regiment commander also fired [-] rounds of artillery shells into the warehouse.

But in order to avoid accidental damage, there were only two gunners with better artillery skills who were still shelling the Japanese, one to suppress the Japanese artillery position, and the other to kill the Japanese infantry.

Standing on the back slope, looking at this scene on the highway, Xu Ping raised his eyebrows.

Having fought with the Japs for so long, he often had to admit that the little Japs were indeed capable.

Being able to defeat millions of troops with disadvantaged forces is not only because the weapons and equipment are better, nor is it just because the industrialized countries have established a complete training system, and the quality of the soldiers they bring is generally better.

There is another very important reason - the brainwashing of Bushido and the charge led by middle- and low-level officers.

Soldiers are brave.

A raging soldier, and a raging nest.

Although they despise the little Japs and wish they could eat their flesh alive and drink their blood, the morale of the Japs is so ferocious that few armies in the world can match it.

During his time in the Iberian Peninsula, Xu Ping saw the German Army, which was known as the world's best army. In comparison, not to mention the quality of combat command, but in terms of morale alone, compared to the Japanese in front of him, they were only on par.

It can even be said to be slightly worse.

Moreover, the Japs in front of them were just a garrison division.

but!

Xu Ping put down the telescope and sneered.

The devil is not afraid of death.

But the Eighth Route Army was afraid of death?
The Japs have been brainwashed by Bushido for a long time. They only want to charge for the so-called locusts and the empire. The entire Japs army is a weapon brainwashed by the Japs' senior leaders in order to realize their ambitions!

Behind the Eighth Route Army is a broken country and ordinary people trapped in a sea of ​​blood from hell.

As an army of ordinary people, we cannot retreat, and no one will retreat.

There are not many armies in the world that can compare with the Japanese in morale, but among them, there is the Eighth Route Army!
After coming to the Independent Regiment for a few months, what Xu Ping felt most deeply was that under the leadership of Li Yunlong, the morale of the Independent Regiment was almost unrivaled even among the Eighth Route Army.

That sentence - even if you die, you must die on the way to charge, and in every battle, Commander Li and all the battalion, company and platoon officers took the lead in the charge, which created the independent regiment's morale like a pack of hungry wolves.

···
"kill!"

Seeing the Japanese charging towards them, Zhang Dabiao also roared angrily and rushed to the front row.

However, compared to Kitai Minghe who was holding a samurai sword and a tortoise box, Zhang Dabiao at this time was no longer holding the large blade and shell gun of the past, but a brand new Type [-] submachine gun.

On the chest were five fully loaded magazines.

After Zhang Dabiao rolled over, he stood in a kneeling position, holding the gun with both hands, clamping the butt of the gun with a creak, and then fired a long round.

Da da da··

A string of bullets accurately hit Kitai Minghe, who was running at high speed 220 meters away.

Hit right in the chest.

The beating caused the old devil's whole body to twist abnormally back and forth, and then he fell straight to the ground, making no sound.

The katana in his hand also fell to the ground.

On the contrary, the tortoise box is still tightly clenched.

A Japanese soldier who had been following Bei Jing Minghe and was holding a Sanba Gai was also killed by Zhang Dabiao's series of long point shots and fell straight next to Bei Jing Minghe.

The [-] cap holding the bayonet in his hand was stuck diagonally on the ground, next to Kitai Akita's katana, and then gradually fell to the ground with a clang.

It seems Kitai Minghe is not dead yet, or is already dead.
Just die with eyes open.

His eyes widened, staring at the rifle with a bayonet lying on the ground and the samurai sword given to him by the Emperor. The remaining eyes were full of confusion and confusion.

He didn't seem to understand why he died so hastily.

He didn't seem to understand why the onboard charge, which had been so successful in the past, ended before it even started.

The captain was killed, and several Japs shot at Zhang Dabiao with red eyes. But he could survive on the battlefield for so long, and there were no less than twenty Japs in his hands. How could Zhang Dabiao be an easy person?Zhang Dabiao rolled around to avoid a series of bullets, and then fired a series of long bullets with his backhand at the Japs who dared to shoot at him.

Several soldiers behind Zhang Dabiao also knelt down and fired without fear or hesitation at several Japanese soldiers not far away - those who dare to shoot at the enemy are the real warriors, rather than hiding behind bunkers. Only one muzzle was stretched out and fired randomly.

Da da da··

After a series of long bursts of fire, the Japanese were unable to dodge and were beaten into a sieve by the intensive firepower.

However, in the first battalion, a soldier was shot in the chest during the exchange of fire. A soldier next to him immediately took out the gauze he carried and began to bandage it.

"Haha, get excited!"

After easily killing a dozen Japs, Zhang Dabiao and the few soldiers around him couldn't help but shout in excitement.

The second battalion was responsible for the main attack in the total annihilation of the Nishino Squadron. At that time, the first battalion was only responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the Beijing Squadron, and mainly used grenades and mortars as firepower to block the Japanese.

The submachine gun has no chance at all.

Therefore, this battle was the first large-scale actual combat of the First Battalion after being equipped with a large number of Type [-] submachine guns.

Moreover, it is also the most suitable for mountain melee combat to fully utilize the power of submachine guns.

The little devil even launched a desperate attack.

"Spread out in a row."

"Surround the devils!"

"Let the reserves come up."

After killing the Japanese captain, Zhang Dabiao ordered each company and platoon to disperse, intending to surround the Japanese.

It’s impossible to eat them all,
In front of them was a large group of Japanese soldiers, totaling 500 Japanese soldiers. Although they were bombarded by the artillery company and the Japanese soldiers suffered a lot of losses, it was not something that a battalion of more than [-] people could eat all of them.

Moreover, the regimental leader’s order was not to annihilate them all.

But after killing the Japs commander, Zhang Dabiao planned to give the Beijing Brigade's main Japs a hard bite and kill as many Japs as possible.

As much as you can eat.

The communication soldier carrying a walkie-talkie immediately conveyed the order to the reserve team behind him and the two surrounding company commanders.

Thanks to the walkie-talkie equipment, each company commander could receive the order within 2 minutes, so just 3 minutes later, the three infantry companies of the first battalion organized their forces and began to attack.

A battalion of more than 300 soldiers charged down, divided into three groups.

Along the way, more than 100 people, led by Zhang Dabiao, continued to attack the center line of the Japanese brigade, intending to separate the Japanese from the center so that they would not be connected from end to end.

Along the left side, there were also more than 100 people, led by the first company commander, attacking diagonally to the left to block the Japanese retreat route to the left.

Along the right side, there were also more than 100 people, led by the second company commander, attacking diagonally to the right to block the Japanese retreat route to the right.

At the rear, two platoons serving as reserves also joined the battle.

···
Compared with the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment, which acted quickly and orderly,
Without the commander, the Beijing Brigade suddenly fell into chaos.

Due to the lack of communication means, the Japanese command originally relied on flags and shouts, and communication troops. This was nothing, and the same was true before the Eighth Route Army.

But now that the battalion leader was gone, and the squadron leaders were far apart, the Beijing Battalion, which had no unified command and faced a battalion with convenient communications and rapid changes in offensive, was suddenly in chaos.

Some launched an attack on the first battalion.

Some began to retreat.

Some rely on the terrain to block the attack.

More than 400 Japanese soldiers were like headless flies, each fighting his own way.

···
"die!"

After killing a Japs with one burst of fire, Zhang Dabiao replaced his submachine gun with a full magazine, and then led the team to continue the fierce attack, heading straight for the Japs' artillery positions on the road.

There, a destroyed Type [-] infantry gun remained.

And a dozen Japs!
During the charge, Zhang Dabiao suddenly remembered Cangyun Ridge half a year ago.

At that time, he was still in the New Regiment, and his opponent was the powerful Sakata Regiment. After Wang Chengzhu killed Sakata's command post and killed Sakata Nobutsuru with one shot, the Sakata Regiment was also in such chaos at that time.

Some retreated, some Japanese attacked, and some defended.

But in that battle, the new regiment still fought very hard. He was even surrounded by Japanese soldiers. If the regiment leader had not led the team back to rescue him, Zhang Dabiao would have died on the battlefield.

And now...

The first battalion easily defeated the resistance of the Beijing Brigade in a confrontational manner, as if they were massacring Japanese soldiers.

After leading the team to kill more than a dozen Japanese who relied on positions around the artillery to resist, and after seizing dozens of artillery shells, Zhang Dabiao sighed in his heart: "If the new regiment's weapons and equipment were not so poor, the regiment commander would have crippled the Sakata regiment. "

···
After the battle is over,
While cleaning up the battlefield,

"Ah··"

Zhang Dabiao came to Beijing Minghe's body, picked up the katana gifted by the Emperor and sneered, and suddenly a literate sentence popped out of his mind:
"The era of bayonets and broadswords is over!"

After speaking, he threw the katana to a warrior not far away.

In this battle, why was the first battalion able to defeat the Beijing Brigade with overwhelming force?
The first was intensive artillery fire - the artillery battery's sixteen 82 mortars continued the intensive shelling for five minutes, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese and disrupting their defensive firepower deployment.

Secondly, I actually planned to rush up and fight the first battalion with bayonets.

but well...

Now there are more than 200 submachine guns in one battalion, and the close range firepower is more than three times that of the Japanese.

Whether it is a samurai sword, a bayonet, or a large blade, these weapons should be withdrawn from the stage of history. Even bayonets, most of the time, are nothing more than decorations for guns.

Not to mention the European battlefields, even in the battlefields of the Republic of China, the vast majority of soldiers died under artillery fire and fell under bullets. Less than [-]% of the soldiers died under bayonets.
