Age of Rebirth

Chapter 470: Hangzhou Bay ([-])

The first batch of Japanese troops, due to the defeat of the Eighth Army, successfully landed and occupied the beachhead. The Japanese ships stopped shelling, and the second batch of landing troops also started to advance to the shore. Hirasuke Yanagawa's face became more and more peaceful. , It seems that everything is in his expectation, he wants to tell the excited and forgetful officers around him, what is the demeanor of a general?

In order to boost morale and show his leadership, he ignored the officers' efforts to dissuade him and insisted on landing on the land of China with the second batch of landing troops. He also said that this was his lifelong wish. Hirasuke ordered a military flag to be raised, and he wanted to tell the surrounding imperial warriors that your commander is by your side, charging into battle with you.

The Japanese military flag was raised, and sixteen pale rays of light radiated from around the blood-red plaster. The wind and waves, the military flag was stuck on the flagpole, and even the speeding landing craft could hardly make this military flag flutter. I was in a good mood Heisuke Yanagawa didn't notice this at all. His mind had already flown to a larger battlefield, where there were more Chinese troops waiting for him and his Tenth Army to destroy them. He didn't even think that this It is the countdown to the last moments of his life.

On the defense line of the Sulu Mobile Corps, the soldiers looked anxiously at the approaching Japanese soldiers. In front of them were the soldiers of the Eighth Army who were panicking like a flock of ducks, and behind them were the fierce Japanese soldiers chasing after them. The rout soldiers who fell behind were overtaken by the Japanese army, and several bayonets were stabbed into their bodies at the same time, and screams sounded one after another. This situation made the commander and soldiers a little at a loss. [

If the whole front opened fire suddenly, with the equipment of the troops, keeping these Japanese all lying on the beach, there would be no bargain for those behind. However, the soldiers who fled from the Eighth Army became the best cover for the Japanese army. They were the first to fall, so what should we do?

Moreover, many of these deserters broke into the minefield and were blown up and down. The defeated soldiers behind, stepping on the blood of their comrades, recklessly followed the thunder, and the soldiers stared at the stars in disbelief.

It was too late to ask for instructions, and in the blink of an eye, a Japanese soldier had rushed to a distance of less than 1000 or [-] meters from the position. This is the best shooting distance for light and heavy machine guns. My heart jumped with a "bang bang", and the muzzle of the gun swung back and forth following the crazy figures of the Japanese soldiers, but I didn't dare to pull the trigger.

The head of the regiment who came to the forward position couldn't hold his breath anymore. He couldn't just watch the rout soldiers rush out of the position, let the Japanese devils in, and fight hand-to-hand with his own troops, right?If so, it's hard to say whether the position can be held. As soon as he gritted his teeth and raised his arms, he was about to give the firing order.

Suddenly, his arm was pulled, and he was annoyed for a while, and he didn't care what the point was?Turning around suddenly, seeing that it was Zhu Zhanying, the brigade commander, he swallowed back the foul words that came to his lips. Zhu Zhanying was also anxious, but he couldn't give the order to shoot at his compatriots. Sweat beads rolled down the soldier's forehead involuntarily.

Damn it, these stragglers are not helping you at all. He suddenly ordered to the head of the regiment: "Pass the order down, and the soldiers at the front shout together, Chinese, lie down quickly! Come on!"

Shouts came from the position like waves. At first, the rout soldiers of the Eighth Army didn't understand what it meant, and they were still running in a daze. The footsteps of the Japanese soldiers behind them were getting closer and closer. The muzzle of the black hole, some veterans understand that this is telling us to get down and beat the Japanese soldiers who are chasing us. If we don’t get down, the soldiers of the independent division will be red-eyed and won’t put us with the Japanese soldiers. To chug?

Seeing the Chinese soldiers running and crawling down suddenly, the Japanese soldiers who were chasing after them burst into wild laughter, "Chinese people, the work of the sick man in East Asia! Those who can't fight, the little ones who escaped work!" The laughter did not stop. Suddenly, in the mist on the opposite side, there was a loud bang like a wind, deafening gunshots, like a storm rising from the ground, and dense rain, suddenly emerged from the mist, and briskly penetrated into the body of the Japanese soldier.

The Japanese soldiers who were charging were like hitting their heads on an iron plate. The momentum of the forward rush was restrained by the huge impact force. Misty sky.

The defensive positions of the Sulu Mobile Corps opened fire across the board. As soon as the battle started, it became fierce. More than 7 Japanese troops, like rows of unrelenting waves, fiercely attacked the defensive positions. The powerful firepower demonstrated the power of comparison, and the continuous shooting of automatic weapons made the Japanese soldiers unable to fight back on the flat and sheltered beach.

In the first round of blows, more than 1 Japanese soldiers fell on the beach of Hangzhou Bay. After suffering a sudden and fierce blow, the remaining Japanese troops, under the command of the commander, retreated to the original position of the Eighth Army. Relying on the unrecognizable fortifications, and shooting against the independent division troops, they finally managed to establish a beachhead.

On the landing craft, Yanagawa Heisuke learned that the first wave of landing troops suddenly encountered fierce resistance when they were advancing in depth, causing heavy casualties. The Chinese army didn't know where the fierce firepower was coming from, so he couldn't help being taken aback. Isn't he chasing and annihilating the defeated Chinese army?Why did they encounter stubborn resistance again? Where did this blocking force come from?

He picked up the binoculars and looked at the beach. Unfortunately, the fog had not completely dissipated, and his eyes were covered with fog. He could not see anything except the bursts of gunfire. Let it penetrate, with 17 elite imperial soldiers, no matter how stubborn the Chinese army is, they will also be defeated, "The second batch of landing troops will advance according to the original plan, and the first batch of landing troops will consolidate the existing beachhead Position!" Yanagawa Hirasuke gave the order calmly.

The Japanese army occupying the near-ruined fortifications of the Eighth Army just took a breath. The encounter just now turned their blood into cold sweat. More than 1 compatriots lay there in a blink of an eye, turning into cold corpses and great fear. , devouring the fierceness in their hearts, watching their companions' bodies being beaten into funnels, and blood splashing all over their bodies, while the Chinese army on the opposite side didn't even see clearly what it looked like.

Suddenly there was a piercing scream in the air, and the experienced Japanese veteran's face turned pale. This was the sound of counting cannons about to hit the top of his head, and he immediately shouted hysterically: "Bombardment! The Chinese bombardment, cover!" Three artillerymen The brigade fired a salvo, and the original fortifications of the Eighth Army were immediately covered by intensive artillery fire and became the grave of the Japanese army.

Severed arms and stumps are flying all over the sky. The two divisions of the Japanese army with incomplete organizational structures fell into a catastrophe. They hid in places and had no place to hide. When it was overturned, the gunpowder smoke dispersed into the mist, and the surrounding scenery could not be seen, only the deafening explosion sound, passionately chasing the lives of the Japanese soldiers.

The intensive shelling made Yanagawa Heisuke finally understand that the blocking force encountered was not the Chinese force that fled just now, but a well-equipped force. Listening to the intensity of the artillery sound, the first wave of landing troops did not have heavy artillery. Covering firepower and suppressing the firepower of the defenders may be more or less ominous. For the first time, he felt worried.

However, all the artillery of the Second Independent Mountain Artillery Regiment and the Sixth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade are still on the transport ship, and there is no way to deploy them on the beachhead in the shortest time. They can only let the naval guns of the Fourth Fleet provide fire support to cover the first The second batch of landing troops, he shouted angrily: "Baga! Why haven't the navy's naval guns fired yet?" You can see gold stars in your eyes.

The large-caliber naval guns on the Japanese warship roared, and the target was the artillery positions of the troops. Compared with the artillery of the army, the naval guns undoubtedly have an absolute advantage. They are big guys for attacking warships. They have a long range and great power. This time, The artillery of the Sulu Mobile Corps suffered a loss. Dozens of artillery were blown up, and hundreds of soldiers were killed or injured. [

The pressure on the artillery positions made Tang Qiusheng anxious. Without the firepower to suppress the Japanese naval guns, the forward positions would suffer serious losses, and the casualties of the soldiers would increase sharply. What should we do?

He suddenly thought of those anti-aircraft guns of the air defense brigade, which can hit the plane, but the range can't be close, but he doesn't know how powerful it is?He ordered Xu Shan, the commander of the air defense brigade, to immediately aim at the Japanese ship's shelling, suppress the Japanese ship's artillery fire, and cover the artillery shelling of the landing Japanese troops.

The fighting was lively ahead, and the officers and soldiers of the air defense brigade were jumping their feet in a hurry. The first one to spot the Japanese was our Li Shuangxi, but when the war started, we would have no part in it. How can there be any reason for this?Calls from each regiment asking for a fight came to the brigade headquarters one after another. Xu Shan was almost driven crazy by these regimental leaders asking for a fight. He was eager to fight, and he picked up the phone several times to ask for a fight, but he was afraid of being beaten. A training session.

He knew exactly what he was doing. The anti-aircraft guns were used to deal with the planes in the sky, and he was not needed for the battle at the moment, but the sound of gunfire from the front line pierced into his ears. The more anxious he was, the more this movement The bigger he got, he turned around in a hurry, swearing, cursing the Japanese, the Japanese planes, and the damn weather, leaving so many anti-aircraft guns idle.

The staff officers in the brigade headquarters couldn't help laughing secretly as they watched the brigade commander circling back and forth like a grindstone, swearing at the world, could the Japanese plane come in this weather?The brigade commander is really wanting to fight. We are professional soldiers, and we each do our own thing. It’s useless to be anxious, but we all hold back, knowing that the brigade commander is on fire right now, so we don’t want to mess with him!

Just as Xu Shan was burning with anxiety, the phone rang crisply. The staff officer indicated that it was the commander-in-chief looking for you. Xu Shan rushed to the phone with a stride. Come.
