Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Chapter 699 Sense of Achievement

,

The bombardment had just stopped, and the gunpowder smoke that filled the position had not yet dissipated. A dense mass of Japanese troops had already appeared in front of the Independence Regiment's position. Under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese army had advanced the distance to 400 meters.

All kinds of firearms in the forward position have already opened fire, and the crackling two sides are firing at each other in full swing.In terms of military strength, the Japanese army had an absolute advantage. After destroying the first line of defense, the narrow area suddenly opened up, and it was also convenient for the Japanese army to invest a large number of troops. In addition, after the Japanese army saw through the fact that the No.70 Fifth Army had retreated, it was already impatient. , It was not false at first, it was an attack at the alliance level, and the intention to destroy the defense line of the independent regiment in one fell swoop was obvious.

In terms of terrain, the independent regiment took the lead. From a slope up the river beach, at a distance of nearly a thousand meters, they occupied an absolute high position on the river bed, with insurmountable mountains on both sides. There is no need to worry about the Japanese army using their classic tactics-two wings outflank, if you want to go up, you have to attack all the way up, otherwise there is no other way.

Fortunately, Jiang Haoran took special care of Tian Long, adding more than 30 light and heavy machine guns, and the supply of ammunition was open.Of course, this open supply is actually worthwhile. Except for Chen Mianwu's 70th Division, which is Chen Chen's direct descendant, the No. 55 Fifth Army is fairly well equipped and has sufficient ammunition. The other Hunan and Guangxi armies are all poor. Originally, they also expected to come to Burma to receive British equipment. How could there be so many weapons and ammunition for them to bring out? Who would have thought that before they received the supplies, all the weapons and equipment hoarded in Lashio would fall into the hands of the enemy.

If Chen Mianwu continued to be his division commander, he would be able to take care of himself completely, but he is not the acting commander now, so he has to consider the ammunition issue of the other two divisions.Therefore, even if Jiang Haoran ordered the supply to be opened, it would still be worthwhile in the hands of the independent group.

But in any case, at least their share of bullets is double, and Chen Mianwu also knows the importance of the mission of the independent regiment, and basically deploys veterans who have been on the battlefield to Tian Long, which also ensures that their combat effectiveness is not weak .

Therefore, although the Japanese army's offensive was fierce, it was not impossible to fight. As soon as the enemy came up, it was a big formation. Tian Long even brought all the guards up, and went to the battlefield by himself. Only the chief of staff Xu Quan and a few military staff officers were left in the headquarters. This was because he was afraid that there would be some urgent order from the military department, otherwise these people would not will stay.

At this point in the battle, the fight is not only about the military literacy and weapon strength of both sides, but also a great challenge of willpower. In this regard, the Japanese army is undoubtedly stronger, although the No.30 Eighth Division was formed less than two years ago , and it is a Type B division with a three-unit system. It has been stationed in the Guangzhou area on the Chinese battlefield, and has fought in Zhongshan and Conghua. The army should be high.

However, although the Independent Regiment is a newly formed team, it is after all carefully selected elite veterans. In addition, after Jiang Haoran's arrival, not to mention the increase in military pay, another victory along the way, the morale is booming, and the two sides are evenly matched.

Soon, an hour passed. During this hour, the independent regiment repelled the enemy's three attacks, and each attack was subjected to a round of enemy artillery fire.

On the forward position, the Japanese army was full of corpses, but the independent regiment was not much better. The trenches were full of soldiers' limbs and broken arms, and the low-lying places were covered with blood. Not many were killed by Japanese guns. Most of them were shredded by shells and grenades, so there were not many wounded soldiers.

Watching the Japanese soldiers receding like a tide, Tian Long grinned with gunpowder all over his face, with his hands on his hips. He had a sense of accomplishment, but this sense of accomplishment didn't last for 2 minutes before he was exhausted and panicked.

The results of the battle damage were soon reported. There were more than 400 people in addition to the more than 100 people from the first battalion on the hillside, and there were more than 800 people left, and the bullets were less than a base, and the shells were only half of the base.

Chief of Staff Xu Quan immediately said: "Tuan Zuo, it's almost time. It won't be long before dawn. I think we should retreat as soon as the enemy retreats. These hundreds of people will not be able to defeat the Japanese army next time." Attack, once the Japanese army rushes up, we will only be wiped out."

Tian Long glanced at the still dark Dongfang, and said: "It's not dawn until the fish belly is white, and our task has not been completed yet. Let's fight again, and it will be almost the same."

The chief of staff wanted to say something, but was stopped by Tian Long, and said: "Needless to say, I have already decided to send someone to see how Yao Mengzi is preparing? This time we will count on them."

Xu Quan shook his head helplessly and left. He has been with Tian Long for two years, and he has always been his subordinate. Knowing his stubbornness, it is useless to say more.

Tian Long didn't dare to delay either, as his troops were too few and the battlefield needed to be rearranged. This time, he pinned his hopes on Yao Menglin, hoping that this treasure would not be misplaced.

He immediately ordered the soldiers to move closer to the south, leaving a position in the north for the enemy to charge, and at the same time, seize the time to repair the fortifications.

Before the troops were fully adjusted, the Japanese bombardment began again. Although they were small-caliber infantry artillery and mortars, they were densely packed. The trenches that were already full of bomb craters suffered another baptism. He knew that this was the first time the Japanese army had bombarded him, but he knew that this would definitely be the last.

As soon as the bombardment stopped, the officials began to howl and the soldiers rushed out. After the Japanese artillery bombardment, the infantry would charge. This tactic has been fought in the Chinese battlefield for several years, and everyone who has been on the battlefield knows it.

As soon as the soldiers entered the position, they could already see the Japanese army advancing forward in a skirmish formation. There were probably more than a thousand of them densely appearing in the field of vision. The visibility of a little fire on the battlefield was limited, and it was not known how many troops were following in the dark.

Because there were not many bullets, this time Tian Long ordered everyone to put the enemy within a distance of [-] meters before shooting, aiming and shooting.Chief of Staff Xu Quan hadn't brought any news about Yao Menglin yet, so he didn't know if they could complete the task. Once they failed, they could only hope to kill one to save capital and kill two to make money.

The independent regiment did not have many bullets, but the Japanese army was very rich. The suppressive firepower immediately opened fire, and the light and heavy machine gun bullets swept up the dust at the front, and then the projectiles that entered the firing range also flew over like raindrops, and the machine gun bullets were covered. It is easy to hide, and the grenadiers are hard to defend against when they explode, and the grenadiers of the Japanese army fired the grenades with high accuracy. Most of them flew directly into the trenches of the independent regiment. The battle has not yet started, and casualties are inevitable.
