Chapter 466: Clever fight

(...We have to fight some battles hard, and such battles are often bloody and corpses everywhere; but sometimes they can fight very well, and the number of enemies killed and injured is even higher than that of tough battles, and one side can almost achieve zero casualties; we have many tricks to fight in the water town, which is also one of the reasons why we have always occupied the rural areas of Jiangnan... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

The Japanese in the 13th Division were stunned by the Chinese Marine Corps in Wuhu, and the recruits of the 6th Division suffered heavy losses in Hexian County. On the first day, they were bombed by the Chinese Air Force air strike and the 13th Infantry Regiment was reduced to a reinforcement brigade and reorganized to Ma'anshan on the other side. The 6th Division, which was originally planned to go south, was forced to stay in Ma'anshan until the evening before sending the 47th Regiment to land on the west coast. The battle started immediately from the moment of landing!

The guerrilla troops welcoming the 6th Division were not ordinary guerrillas, but actually the regular army of the Second Field Army, but they deliberately took off their military uniforms and wore civilian costumes to fight. At the beginning, they fired with bird guns from a distance. These bird guns could not hit the Japanese who were landing. However, the Japanese soldiers who had been nervous during the day had been bombed and their dense firepower immediately exposed their positions.

"Swish! Swish!..." The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the Japanese soldiers who had received strict training fell down one after another... "Boom! Roar!..." The mortar shells all exploded about ten meters above their heads. The shot bombs covered the red hot iron sand as big as pomegranate seeds. For a moment, the mud on the beach was filled with struggling Japanese soldiers. Obviously, after careful preparation, the ** troops even measured the beach at the Japanese landing site, and each shell was blown up!

How did they know our landing site? A thought came to mind at the head of the 11th Brigade, Katsuji Imamura, but now he has no time to take care of these things, so he can only join the battle immediately!

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..." The carrier-based machine guns quickly launched a fierce bombardment on the mortar position, and the umbrella team was instantly lost; in less than three minutes, various shells covered the mortar-fired position, and the mortar-fired bombs turned upside down!

However, there was no one in that position! The ** mortar company and the soldiers who fired with bird guns in front were actually for one purpose: to find an opportunity to fire three guns while the Japanese army was still on the beach and fired quickly. Just one round! After they finished this round of guns, they all immediately pried up the gun and fled. When the Japanese shells covered them far away, they had already fled to the small wooden boat that had been prepared long ago on the Desheng River and fled quickly.

The Japanese army also had Marines advancing from the Desheng River, but as soon as they entered the estuary, they found that the river was blocked, and their wooden boats and rubber boats could not pass through. The blocked thing was a row of sparse wooden stakes. These wooden stakes could not even affect the water flow, but made it difficult for the Japanese small boats at the estuary. There was no way, they could only eliminate these wooden stakes.

The wooden stakes were just a very thin row, and they were all big trees cut from the mountains, which could be used as pontoon bridges. Seeing this, the Japanese army of the Marine Corps and the engineers of the Sixth Division simply solved the problem by manpower, and sent seventy or eighty people to go into the water to cooperate with the winch on the shore to pull the wooden stakes up... "Buzz! Buzz!..." With a series of dull loud noises, their actions actually touched the underwater explosive devices. Those simple bags processed with military raincoats stirred up turbid waves. The Japanese army who had fallen into the water could not even scream, so the entire piece was shaken to death in the water by the shock wave. In the night, they still saw the water surface full of corpses.

The Japanese army on the shore were already very nervous, but they had to continue moving forward... "Soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-so

Less than ten bullets of thirty rounds were knocked out, so there was no need for an assistant to apply oil to the bullet. The machine gunner quickly ran away with the gun! This way of playing is not to worry that the crooked handles are likely to get heated and stuck in the barrel, nor to worry about the slow firing rate. Two people cooperate to open fire, and they are not afraid of the dust caused by the fire exchange. The deputy shooter only acts as a candidate shooter and ammunition soldier. The two people go in one blow... These are experiences, combining the characteristics of each weapon with the battlefield situation.

The most advantageous use plan is to maximize the killing of weapons! (The real sniper sniper tactic can be successful almost every time. If there is a long enough harassing distance when disturbing the enemy at night, the enemy can often retreat. There have been real examples of two machine gun teams sniping and annihilating dozens of enemies in half a night to sweep a squadron.) As soon as the Japanese army fought, they could feel that the opponent was a unit with extremely rich combat experience and very daring to fight!

The Japanese fleet could only use machine guns to strike some more obvious attack points, but this kind of attack was half a beat slower and could not hit anyone at all. And those large-caliber naval guns could only act as intimidation, and occasionally used the power of blowing out a fish pond to exist. However, these powerful shells were just digging fish ponds and had no actual killing effect at all!

Because there are many small rivers and terrain on the riverside and have been transformed by **, the attackers were the Second Field Army units that used these tactics to fight against the Japanese army countless times in northern Jiangsu. The Japanese army with no practical experience suffered a tragic loss. In the end, Katsuji Imamura had no choice but to let the troops stabilize many positions and defend until dawn the next day! In order to inspire the morale of the army, the Japanese fleet's cannons began to bombard Hexian County, but that was already an empty city...

What? Waka Prefecture, which is only five kilometers away from the shore, cannot be occupied immediately after landing? Okamura Yasuji is always paying attention to this battlefield that concerns the survival of the 18th Division. After Murata Katsuji reported the situation back, his face changed suddenly!

The Chinese army is really getting stronger and stronger, and it is getting bigger and bigger. Can you really conquer such an opponent? Okamura Nishi shook his head, but everyone around him doesn't know why his highest officer is shaking his head...

What? The Japanese stopped? "Jiuzi" took off the little bamboo cane in his mouth and said to the messengers around him: "Go, let the kids in the mortar company shoot a few more shots... Damn, if you don't hit me, I'll still hit me!"

The order was "quickly" passed, and the ** who used two legs to transmit the message finally started the artillery attack two hours later... Because of the tradition of the Japanese army's death to face, the large amount of secret losses they suffered in northern Jiangsu and did not spread. The Japanese officers and soldiers still rested in the depressions where the concentration was resting according to the routine, and arranged fire points at high places that should occupy the fire point. The terrain measured in advance was soon locked by the various artillery positions... This was within the protection range of the naval guns, at least the ** did not dare to attack head-on. Many Japanese soldiers who had been tortured for the middle of the night fell asleep in the depression, and they were still far from the level where they could hear the sound of shells breaking through the air in their sleep... "Swish! Swish! Swish!..." Suddenly, the mortar and grenade launcher were a dozen of them together when a signal bomb hit the sky!

There was another roar of artillery shells on the Japanese territory. Although not even the Japanese large-caliber naval guns were blown, all of these shells hit the Japanese army! In the telescope, you can see the various mortar grenades fired at the same time, and there was no position at all. When the naval guns began to symbolically bombard the places where white smoke was raised, even the Japanese commander who ordered the fire understood: this was just a placebo for the soldiers!

One night, the attacks of the Second Field Army were intermittent and various tricks were everywhere. The Japanese casualties reported continued to accumulate. No new reports came out until the last hour before dawn. One night, 373 people were shot dead by various attacks, and 776 minor and serious injuries... Colonel Iwasaki Mino was crying: If such casualties were in the battle of Xuzhou, you could fight fiercely with a division A for one night!

It was dawn, and the Japanese army found that the scenery in front of them was so strange. They also understood why they could not move forward for most of the night: the map given to them by the military headquarters was all wrong! They just walked around the river and were beaten everywhere!... But this was obviously the most detailed and latest live map made by the Air Force with real photos. How could this happen?

The Japanese army did not know that the ** who transformed the terrain started construction at night. During the day, they covered the "artificial river" dug out with bamboo and mats, and soil was sprinkled on it. The reconnaissance planes could not find it! In the first half of the night, the Japanese army followed several maps marked with obvious rivers as references, but they turned around in the river ditch net and didn't even touch the edge of Hexian County, which was only five kilometers away!

The sound of fire fighting in the distance between the 18th Division was constantly heard, but the 18th Division was just across the Hanshan Mountain, and the reinforcements had wasted a day and a night under the order to break through the defense line for three days.

When daylight came, the crazy attack of the Japanese naval guns was finally started. In just half an hour, almost all the empty houses in Hexian were destroyed in artillery fire. At the same time, the Japanese bombing formations began to officially bomb Hanshan on a large scale.

It seemed like they wanted to regain the lost time. The officers and soldiers of the 47th Japanese Regiment trotted forward. They didn't care about Hexian, which was blown into rubble by artillery fire, and headed straight for Hanshan at full speed!

"I haven't fought a bad war for a long time, and I forgot how to fight. No wonder Chief Cao was angry... I said, "The old brothers are going to die again..." The "drunk" who didn't drink made a face at Mo Shucai: "Old Mo, you are a person who wants to fight bad wars all day long. This time, let you see what corpses are everywhere..."

But Mo Shucai stood up seriously and saluted the "drunk" who was about to come to the fire line immediately: "Come back alive, I'll invite you to drink..."

Both of them were joking, laughing, with the kind of veteran smile on their faces...
