Chapter 148 Collective Desertion

The Japanese soldier at the very front fell.

These fallen Japanese soldiers greatly encouraged the soldiers of the 128th Division inside the fortress, and also made the Japanese soldiers who were charging tremble with fear.

They had already been frightened by the First Battalion an hour earlier.

Now they were forced to charge.

Now, seeing that they were still so far away and someone had already fallen.

Among these charging Japanese soldiers, some smart ones immediately pretended to be hit and fell to the ground.

There were also fools who turned around and charged in the opposite direction!

Five Japanese soldiers who intentionally got the direction wrong and charged in the opposite direction were immediately greeted by the contemptuous gazes and fiery bullets of their comrades who were enforcing military law behind them.

With these few deserters as examples, all the charging Japanese soldiers did not dare to play tricks anymore.

The remaining soldiers of the Taihe Hui Detachment could only continue to charge forward.

Tai Hehui was pleasantly surprised to see that executing military law during the charge and killing five soldiers who tried to escape immediately suppressed everyone.

This effect was satisfactory.

Captain Tai Hehui commanded these pieced-together troops to continue charging.

All the soldiers of the Second Battalion had finally entered the position, and not only machine guns were firing.

These soldiers who entered the trenches also began to shoot one after another.

Although the distance was still more than a hundred meters, these soldiers' marksmanship was somewhat touching.

But hearing the whistling of bullets passing by was always frightening.

Lin Fan had already led the soldiers of the Special Company's direct company to move in this direction when the Second Battalion's position was heavily bombarded.

The Japanese bombing lasted for half an hour. During this period, the Special Company and the Artillery Company had set up their positions.

Lin Fan also set a predetermined attack target for each cannon.

Everything was ready, only the east wind was owed!

Now only the Japanese infantry was needed to charge.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Fan intentionally or unintentionally pointed to the front position.

He gave the soldiers of the Special Company and the direct company a field explanation of the battlefield.

He first analyzed the advantages and terrain of the attacking and defending sides in front.

Then he explained why he had preset the bombing area for each cannon.

Lin Fan estimated that the entire bombing area this time was 50 meters in front of the Second Battalion's defense line.

Why he did this, what was special about the angle and position of each cannon, Lin Fan explained everything one by one.

Despite the deafening sound of cannons in front, the 300 people in the two companies in the rear listened with gusto.

Lin Fan was also trying to train this direct artillery company of the 128th Division.

After all, the War of Resistance was not a matter for one person or one organization.

This was something that required the joint struggle and united resistance of the entire country and the entire nation.

In order to allow this direct company of the 128th Division to improve, Lin Fan was really worried.

Obviously, Company Commander Hua Yuande understood Company Commander Lin Fan's good intentions.

These soldiers of the direct company had already worshiped Lin Fan like a fairy in the previous round of strikes against the enemy.

Now they listened to every word Lin Fan said as if it were a sacred decree.

After Lin Fan finished explaining the technical points, he said seemingly inadvertently: "After this battle, you should go to Yan'an.

Where, you will accept some new ideas, and your combat effectiveness will be significantly improved."

Hua Yuande knew a little about the kind of thinking Lin Fan said, and he asked: "Is your company trained like that?"

Lin Fan did not speak, his expression betrayed his thoughts.

Hua Yuande already had an answer in his heart, and he also had an idea!

The charge on the front line was still continuing, and Detachment Leader Sato Tetsuo watched the charge from afar.

His command post was actually not a good position to watch this charge. It was impossible to see the overall situation of the entire battlefield.

However, Detachment Leader Sato Tetsuo did not dare to go out.

The precise bombing of the National Army just now made him feel lingering fear. He was afraid that he would be beheaded if he went out.

"It's better to hide in the command post and be a quiet commander!" Sato Tetsuo positioned himself.

When the machine guns of the Second Battalion began to fire, the three Type 92 infantry guns that Sato Detachment Leader had specially transferred also began to work.

Each of them targeted a fortress and began to shoot at the fortress.

These soldiers operating the artillery obviously did not want to blow up the fortress 300 meters away.

The heavy artillery bombing just now was seen by these artillery operators.

Some heavy artillery shells clearly exploded on top of the fortress, and those fortresses were safe and sound.

Of course, the small cannons they were operating now had no effect on it.

However, it was still possible to use the cannon in their hands to cause some trouble to the other party.

Especially the machine gun firepower points inside the fortress, which had now become the biggest obstacle for the attacking infantry brigade.

The three infantry guns each attacked the machine gun firepower points inside the fortress.

Hoping to suppress these three machine guns.

Captain Taihe Hui also commanded the machine guns under his command to suppress those firepower points.

Although he now had hundreds of cannon fodder from the Du Jin Takuya Brigade.

But no matter how much cannon fodder there was, it had to be used sparingly.

But as the cannon fodder charged, the firepower points on the opposite defense line actually increased a lot.

Even the machine gun firepower had increased by two.

The defenders ran into the trenches one by one and fired at these charging Japanese soldiers.

The three infantry guns had finally found an outlet for venting.

They had each fired more than a dozen shells, and several of them had hit the fortress.

However, the fortress only peeled off a little skin and did not suffer any damage at all.

If they wanted to have a real impact on those fortresses, they could only let the shells directly hit the shooting hole to be effective.

However, this kind of one-shot-kill level was simply impossible for people to achieve.

These Japanese soldiers operating infantry guns could only use a large number of shells to try their luck, hoping that one shell would be blessed by Amaterasu and could do a little bit.

Obviously, this continent was not their small island country, and Amaterasu did not play any role on this land.

None of the shells fired by these cannons were successful.

The Japanese soldiers operating infantry guns had given up hope. In this situation, they discovered new targets: the two machine gun firepower points in the trenches.

The three Japanese cannons and four machine guns almost simultaneously abandoned the firepower suppression of the fortress and attacked the two newly appeared firepower points.

This was something that Battalion Commander Zhang Jingwu did not expect.

It was also something that machine gun shooter Du Ziteng did not expect.

He and his deputy shooter Wei Youcai had just entered the position and set up the machine gun.

After only firing one magazine, they immediately received the full malice of the Japanese soldiers.

First, the bullets from the opposite machine guns kept whistling past his side, or they hit the sandbags, splashing up patches of dust.

Next, several shells were fired in succession, although they did not directly hit his small machine gun position.

But it also frightened the machine gun three feet high.

Du Ziteng quickly took the machine gun down and carefully checked it.

Fortunately! The machine gun was just frightened and jumped up, and was not hurt.

This position has been exposed and needs to be changed.

He lowered his head, holding the machine gun, and moved twenty meters in the trench with his body arched.

Then he poked his head out again. Wherever the machine gun shooter was, that was the machine gun position.

The same thing happened on another machine gun position.

Captain Taihe Hui saw two more machine gun firepower points suddenly appear on the opposite position.

Then he saw several shells bombarding them, and the firepower points on the opposite side suddenly went silent.

"Good!" Captain Taihe Hui became happy.

He urged them more sternly.

He wanted the soldiers to take advantage of the weaker firepower of the defenders to run faster and charge more quickly.

The main firepower of the defenders was still the three machine guns inside the fortress.

This was no different from the firepower when the Japanese soldiers first started charging.

But Captain Taihe Hui still felt happy: after all, the number of machine guns of the defenders had changed from the maximum of five to the current three.

The only bad thing was: even if there were only three machine guns, as the Japanese soldiers charged into a range of 100 meters.

The three machine guns caused a lot more damage to the charging cannon fodder.

Not only the cannon fodder charging at the very front was falling, but also the cannon fodder charging in the middle and rear sections was falling to the ground.

This made Captain Taihe Hui very hurt.

His original intention was to leave as much of this cannon fodder as possible, after all, it could still be used next time.

What made Captain Taihe Hui even more hurt was that two more machine gun firepower points appeared on the opposite defense line.

It was obvious that the bombing and strikes just now only allowed these two cunning machine gun positions to move.

These two machine gun firepower points had just poked their heads out.

Then there was a continuous rain of bullets, pouring down like splashing water.

Such cunning machine gun shooters made Captain Taihe Hui's stomach hurt.

The rain of bullets swept over by the machine guns made the cannon fodder under his command reduce even faster.

Fortunately, the machine gun position and several infantry guns behind him were powerful. They also discovered the newly exposed machine gun positions.

They immediately concentrated their firepower to attack.

Du Ziteng had been bombed once just now and had learned a little bit of guerrilla warfare.

He only poked his head out in this new position and fired one magazine, and immediately took the initiative to take down the machine gun.

He carefully arched his body and moved in the trench again.

When he took down the machine gun, several comrades who were crawling and firing with rifles also left immediately.

Du Ziteng was an igniter, specializing in attracting Japanese firepower.

Sure enough: As soon as Du Ziteng left his temporary position, Japanese bombing and machine gun strikes came one after another.

Captain Taihe Hui looked at the machine guns on the opposite position, like playing a whack-a-mole game, popping up everywhere, always firing one magazine and running away.

Captain Taihe Hui's stomach not only hurt now, but his heart and liver also started to hurt.

Fortunately, from now on, the team had charged to a distance of less than 70 meters from the defenders' position.

Captain Taihe Hui had also seen what the Du Jin Takuya Brigade looked like when it collapsed just now.

He knew that the defenders' artillery support would only arrive when his soldiers charged to 30 meters from the defenders' defense line.

This time he intentionally concentrated those cannon fodder on the front line, trying to compress the distance between these cannon fodder as much as possible.

Let these remaining soldiers of the Du Jin Takuya Brigade try their best to charge on the front line.

Behind them, Captain Taihe Hui tried to disperse his soldiers as much as possible, and then disperse them some more.

Using this kind of formation to reduce casualties during artillery fire bombing.

When this team charged to 50 meters away from the defense line.

Lin Fan ordered: "Fire!"

Looking at the artillery fire that suddenly fell from the sky, it did not come down according to the time he expected.

Captain Taihe Hui was a little silly: The defenders on the opposite side were too cunning! They did not talk about martial arts!

The previous two attacks were only fired when people charged to a distance of 30 meters.

Now there are still 20 meters left!

There was still a full 20 meters distance before firing.

Too un-martial ethics.

Hua Yuande saw the first round of shells fired by his company exploding in the middle of the Japanese soldiers.

It exploded in the middle of the Japanese soldiers in the crowd.

He looked at the broken limbs and arms that were blasted up and flying into the air.

His heart was full of pride!

This was fired by his company!

Gu Jiaqi saw that the artillery had fired again.

He also saw the Japanese soldiers being blown to pieces by the shells.

"Happy! It's really happy!" Gu Jiaqi pounded the wall happily.

He held a telescope in one hand and pounded the wall in the other.

Being able to make the division commander so失态, the officers and soldiers of the division command post were a little surprised.

But the fighting in front was really enjoyable!

Not to mention that the division commander was so excited that he was pounding the wall, even these little soldiers were so happy that they wanted to shout out loud.

"It's so relieving!"

Detachment Leader Sato Tetsuo looked at the shells that fell on the heads of his attacking team again.

Once again, the charging team was blown to pieces.

At the same time, the three Type 92 infantry guns were also overturned by the air waves generated by the shells.

"The artillery on the opposite side is too powerful! We must find a way to take down the artillery on the opposite side first.

Otherwise, the team's offensive simply cannot be launched!"

The current situation was very bad.

Captain Taihe Hui ignored that he was also in the artillery fire bombing range.

Waving the gun in his hand, he roared in exasperation, shouting loudly.

However, his voice was suppressed by the continuous explosions in the artillery fire-filled battlefield, and it was completely inaudible less than a meter away.

The soldiers of the Du Jin Takuya Brigade who were charging at the very front were crowded together because of Captain Taihe Hui's order.

All the soldiers were squeezed together and received special care from Lin Fan and the others.

These soldiers suffered the heaviest casualties.

The soldiers of the Taihe Hui Brigade who followed them were more scattered, although they were also in the artillery fire bombing range.

The casualties were relatively less.

Captain Taihe Hui's eyes suddenly straightened: he saw less than five meters in front of him.

The cannon fodder who had been killed by the defenders when charging just now actually stood up in panic.

Running towards the rear in a panic.

Can the dead be resurrected?

Captain Taihe Hui looked around and saw that this situation was not just one or two.

Although the entire area was now within the artillery fire bombing range and the smoke was billowing, his vision could only see about 30 meters around.

But in this range, there were already seven cases of corpses炸尸還魂like this.

Captain Taihe Hui now understood that some of the soldiers who had been forced to charge in the front by him just now.

Some people actually pretended to be hit and fell to the ground pretending to be dead.

Now being bombed indiscriminately by the artillery fire on the opposite side, these soldiers pretending to be dead were afraid of being really炸死了by the bombing.

Now they were collectively炸尸呢!

Insult! Naked insult!

Captain Taihe Hui could no longer tolerate such insult.

The Nambu Type 14 pistol he was waving in his hand fired at these soldiers.

Those unlucky deserters who were closer to Captain Taihe Hui fell, three of them, and the rest were not hit by Captain Taihe Hui's bullets because they ran far away.

The captain, who was already about to crack with anger, desperately wanted to政法these deserters.

He emptied the eight bullets in one magazine.

He immediately replaced another magazine. At this time, those deserters ran faster and further away.

The captain, who was so angry that he was about to explode, immediately started to run, turned to the rear, and chased after these deserters.

He must execute these cowards who had insulted the glory of the Empire on the spot.

From his narrow observation position, Detachment Leader Sato Tetsuo saw Captain Taihe Hui waving his pistol and advancing against the artillery fire of the defenders.

This scene not only stunned the detachment leader who was secretly observing from a distance.

It also stunned the soldiers of the Taihe Hui Brigade who were struggling in the artillery fire of the defenders.

They could not believe their eyes: The captain who strictly ordered everyone to advance forward and charge forward.

Was actually waving his pistol and fleeing in a panic in the artillery fire!

Like officer, like soldier.

Those soldiers who saw the captain's direction of advance made a difficult decision.

Follow Captain Taihe Hui, follow the captain to charge!

These little soldiers could not窥视the slightest bit of Captain Taihe Hui's thoughts.

When the captain's height of thought was not something these little soldiers could understand.

But the captain's footsteps were something these little soldiers could follow.

Just as the defenders' artillery fire was bombing, the soldiers who had agreed to charge together suddenly split into two factions.

One faction continued to charge forward, and the other faction followed Captain Taihe Hui to charge backward.

Although the direction of advance of both sides was diametrically opposed, they had one thing in common: They were all struggling to survive in the artillery fire bombing of the defenders.

Lin Fan had no idea that the Japanese soldiers on the front line had already voluntarily differentiated.

He had been following the plan just now, organizing the team, and firing the greatest firepower in the fastest time, three minutes.

Then he led the artillerymen to rush to the front line position.

It was already getting dark.

It would be completely dark in less than half an hour.

This time Lin Fan was prepared to lead the team and rush to the Second Battalion's position.

Rush out of the Second Battalion's position and have a bayonet fight with those Japanese soldiers who had been bombed by artillery shells.

The artillery fire support from the rear made Battalion Commander Zhang Jingwu of the Second Battalion overjoyed.

Looking at those Japanese soldiers struggling in the artillery fire, his heart was as畅快as drinking ice water in June.

Now, on the entire defense line of the Second Battalion, there was no longer any machine gun suppression from the Japanese side.

There was also no bombing by the Type 92 infantry guns.

The five machine guns could finally hold their heads high and fully发挥的作用.
