Chapter 162 Hardcover Edition Unconscionable Cannon (1)
The defenders seemed to have tried their best for the time being, or they did not expect that they had accidentally created excellent offensive conditions for the enemy. () The offensive progress of the 10th Squadron was expected to be smooth.
Although there were continuous scattered machine gun shootings in the middle, Captain Soichiro Waruzuki still successfully brought the vast majority of soldiers to the rear of the stone wall.
The soft soil layer of just a few hundred meters was constantly jumping and dodging, and the sudden acceleration and stopping movement made the captain gasp. But when he turned to look at both sides, he successfully broke through the intensive shooting blockade after only losing 10 or 20 people. This result was exciting.
Before he knew it, he and most Japanese soldiers quietly improved their casualties. A mortality rate of less than 10% is a very successful breakthrough.
The stone walls that were blown out were more than one meter in height and ranged from two to three meters. After completely peeling off the soft sand and stones on the surface, the traces of gray and the rocks embedded in the steel plates all illustrate the terrible things that had happened before.
The strong and pungent smell of fire and medicine is still emanating. It makes the tip of the nose itch, but it really cannot stop it from drilling into the lung tube.
Ruoqiu Soichiro rubbed his nose hard, held the wall with his hands, and glanced up very quickly from a collapsed gap.
"Bow!" A crisp gunshot sounded, and a bullet hit his scalp and knocked off his military cap, almost an inch of his forehead.
"What awesome shooting skills!"
The captain was frightened. It took him less than a second to stretch his neck, but the other party discovered and aimed at the shot. Such a quality is a top-notch elite soldier and a sharpshooter. It seems that the other party's individual soldier's quality is not ordinary high.
But that's all. Since we have broken through to the bottom of our noses, it only takes more than ten seconds to see the short distance between life and death, it depends on what tricks you can do.
He bent down carefully and ran quickly to the end under the undulating rock walls, urging the tired soldiers along the way: "You guys have done a good job! It seems that the enemy's bullets have been consumed almost! Within such a distance, if we launch a rapid attack, we will definitely be able to rush into their trenches."
The soldiers who were nervous all gave him a relieved smile. Even if they looked embarrassed than crying, they could still show their current mentality. That was quite firm.
He ran to his head, turned around and said the same thing to the people on the other side, giving the trembling young people a powerful slap - of course not a mouth slap.
The Japanese squadron leader, squad leader, and first-class officers of the sergeant were all of the best quality. It was up to them to support the entire team. Such signs have been shown very clearly now.
Every lieutenant and captain have an extremely strong mentality of winning. Even in the face of fierce battles and heavy casualties, they can still persist in attacking. In this regard, they already have the qualities of modern soldiers. Compared with the Qing army, it is definitely not the same level.
There were still hundreds of corpses under his feet, and the Japanese army still did not give up their desire to win. Under the comfort of Soichiro Waruki, he breathed in and stabilized his mind, checked the bullets and bayonets, and prepared to launch an attack.
Far below the mountain, Takeda Hideyama Nakasa quietly breathed a sigh of relief. In this short time, he almost forgot to breathe.
Whether he can attack the top of the mountain and seize the first line of defense is crucial. The huge casualties before him brought him great psychological pressure. No matter how brave the Emperor** man is, he will suffer endless pain, which will lead to the final collapse.
Fortunately, now it seems that progress is more ideal than expected.
Looking up at the West, it was about to dark. If you seize this pass before that, you would have time to attack Huangzhou at night. The general plan will not be delayed.
"Continue to attack!"
He waved his arm heavily at Major Mori, who was from the first team, and the other party paused: "Ha! This is the beginning!"
Major Morika Mori is also an officer with a strong battle. As the backbone of the 21st Regiment, this person is more impulsive and brave than Major Okayama Yoshihara. Originally, he wanted to be the first to take the lead, but he was pressed down by Takeda.
Facts proved that his judgment was correct. If Major Mori had attacked with all his strength from the beginning, the casualties would probably be greater. That guy's head sometimes doesn't turn a corner.
But now, it is time to need him to exert his strong and firm fighting will!
Major Mori Nakajiu Kei hurried to the front and sent a signal to the hilltop in the distance. He placed the troops of Captain Matsubashi Ogasawara, the fourth squadron, which had the second wave of attacks, immediately advanced forward and rushed to about 300 meters. With the help of the messy bunker, he began to fire heavily at the top of the hilltop.
At the same time, after the remaining four mountain cannons moved to a more hidden place, they tested the explosion and determined that the explosion location would not fall on their own heads. Then the four cannons were fired together, and the blast of explosions began to rise on the mountainside.
The rapid shooting of hundreds of single-shot rifles, and the banging sound was like fried beans, and tiny explosions suddenly emerged from the front of the trench.
In particular, more than a dozen guns were concentrated to target the exposed machine gun nest. Although the effect was average and messy, it could cause similar interference to the other party.
Just then, Ruoqiu Soichiro shouted: "All people pay attention, assault!"
The fanatical shouts burst out again in the valley!
The captain turned around and rushed out of the slope gap. He didn't need to aim at the gun in his hand. As he felt it, he rolled to the side and rushed towards a shallow pit that was blown up by the shell!
On the mountainside, machine gun nests everywhere sprayed flames again! The messy bullets kept sweeping, and sometimes some collided in the air and splashed Mars!
More than 200 Japanese troops in the 10th Squadron, like monkeys scalded by hot water, screamed and rushed out of the bunker. They were not only quick in their movements, but also had a strong purpose. They just flashed and hid in the place they had seen earlier. Although it was not enough to hide completely, it also allowed the people above to spend more time aiming.
And this was only one or two seconds, but it was enough for them to aim at each other and fight back!
A distance of just one hundred meters. A well-trained Imperial Army soldier can fully utilize the distance of precision shooting. On such a terrain, even if the other party only pokes out one head, it is not certain whoever kills anyone!
Almost all the firepower was attracted to most people, including the captain! Taking this opportunity, the fourth squadron in the rear jumped out decisively and rushed under the rock wall. What a great hidden place! The opponent's cannon could not hit, the grenadier could not threaten, and the guns and bullets could not be fired... It was really ideal!
It seemed as if they were caught off guard by their carefully designed offensive tactics. The blockage above was obviously a little panicked!
There are targets everywhere, far and near, making the machine gun not sure who to hit first.
The soldiers in the trench also suddenly rushed into the multi-way enemy in front of them, and their intensive and precise shooting made them not have time to think more. So, the problems of the new recruits began to be exposed!
This time, Huang Lebo really didn't care about the shooting of the new recruits. He deliberately asked the veterans to shut up and let the new recruits deal with the attacks that were coming on their own.
At such a close distance, hundreds of rifles were shooting, and the bullets that kept whizzing through their ears were reminding the recruits that their lives might be lost at any time!
Even if everyone has a first-class defense effect on their heads, and the tactical horse clamp is stuffed with alloy steel plates that can withstand contemporary bullets, the fear of death may be inevitable and fiercely grasping their hearts!
When he was nervous, his movements were unrestrained. He pulled the bolt in a daze and shot, and his accuracy plummeted.
This is why Yang Hao did not equip them with five or six at the beginning. With the conduct of the recruits, they could unconsciously drain all the bullets in one breath. Apart from waste, the results were minimal.
It must be baptized by war, and when they become familiar with the battlefield, they can effectively use more advanced weapons.
Such a messy reaction fell into the eyes of the Japanese commanders below, which was unprecedentedly beneficial!
Overjoyed, Ruoqiu Soichiro was desperate and shouted loudly to recharge the soldiers. He kept firing and shooting, leading people forward bravely.
Eighty meters, sixty meters, forty meters!
He could clearly see the tender faces of the other soldier, and could not hide his nervousness and fear! The bullets fired were becoming more and more unorganized.
The most important thing is that he found that the other party was not in enough manpower! In the hundreds of meters long trenches, at best, there was only one team of troops. Each person needed to defend against a width of several meters, which was of course not enough!
A great opportunity!
Ruoyue Soichiro waved his hand forward suddenly and was about to rush forward. Suddenly, there was a loud shout from above: "Grenade!"
"Buzz!"
The above his vision was immediately filled with the 67-wood-handled grenades rolling on the opposite side of Hulala!
It was another terrible explosion thunder! The captain twisted away without hesitation, and the grenades that were smashing in a row exploded rumblingly at a distance of between 30 and 50 meters!
The hot air waves and the shattered sand and stones formed a fierce wave and flew over his back! The crackling pain made him grin and almost screamed!
But Ruoqiu Soichiro really resisted it and even forced himself to look up and look at the place where he could see. Many soldiers were blown up and screamed, and casualties rose sharply!
The next moment, the second wave of smoke-filled grenades rushed over again. The captain had no choice but to say hello and turn his head and retreat--if they stayed there, they would all be blown into pieces. The enemy's weapons were much more prepared than they thought.
The hula-la-wind swept the clouds, and they pushed them eighty meters away in one breath, and then they were forced to hide under the stone wall by a sudden dense and precise bullet.
This attack failed. But Wakatsuki Soichiro was not disappointed, because at this time, nearly 200 people from the Fourth Squadron had successfully moved here. Their total strength was almost twice as thick.
He thought confidently that he would definitely be able to break through the next attack!
At this moment, behind the hillside of the two wings of the position, four thick bunkers were quietly unveiled, revealing four seamless steel pipes as thick as four gas tanks! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
