Fengxian Jiangshan

Right now, Bai Chuanyi is still in high spirits. In his hands, there are two complete divisions, namely the No.11 Division and the Sixth Division. These two divisions are all one of the permanent divisions in Japan. It is the Sixth Division, and it is a powerful force in the Japanese army.

During the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the Sixth Division set foot on the land of China twice. They are very familiar with the Northeast, and they are Shirakawa Yoshinori's ace force.

Ever since King Kong and Kirishima were sunk, Bai Chuanyi knew that a big war was inevitable, so he personally set out to formulate a battle plan.Exactly as Feng Jun had guessed, he dispatched the Sixth Division as the main force to launch an attack along the South Manchuria Railway, with the goal directed at Haicheng.

In addition, he dispatched the No.11 Cavalry Regiment of the No.11 Division to attack along the coastline. The ultimate goal was Dandong. The North Korean garrison can stretch across the city.

After the battle plan was completed, there was no news of a declaration of war in the country, which made Bai Chuanyi very puzzled. The bureaucrats in the country are simply made of tofu. How come they have no courage to face the Chinese people!

He was not willing to wait like this. All the troops had entered the front-line combat readiness state. Bai Chuan was still searching for trains and carriages. While he was actively preparing, Japan finally issued an order to attack, requiring the Kwantung Army to follow the plan.Go on the offensive.

Although war was not declared, Bai Chuan was already very excited with the order to fight. He took the hand of the head of the Sixth Division, Xiaochi Yasushi, and said proudly: "Mr. People. Occupying Manchuria is just a matter of flipping hands."

Xiaochi also laughed arrogantly: "As pointed out by the soldiers of the Kwantung Army of the Great Japan, the Chinese people are no match at all. Within five days, the warriors of the empire will become the new masters of Fengtian."

After the Sixth Division left Dalian, the journey went smoothly.They finally came to Gaizhou, where they finally met a strong enemy. The First Division of the Frontier Defense Army was ordered to garrison Gaizhou.

The battle first started in the artillery room. The Japanese Sixth Division, which took the lead in attacking, concentrated 48 75 field guns, 4 Meiji 38-type 120 heavy guns and 6 38-type 150 heavy guns just shipped from China. firepower.The Fengjun positions on the north bank of the Daqing River were bombarded indiscriminately. Of course, the Fengjun did not show weakness. The first division, as the trump card of the Fengjun, had a heavy artillery battalion configuration, twelve 152 heavy artillery, and launched a fierce counterattack against the Japanese. .

Although the Feng army did not have the advantage in the number of artillery pieces, it greatly surpassed the Japanese in terms of performance.From time to time, a burst of flames rose from the Japanese artillery position, and the artillery was blown to pieces by the Feng army, and the artillery evaporated instantly.

However, in this artillery battle, the Japanese still had their trump card. Two old-fashioned armored cruisers and several destroyers also used naval guns to unleash shells.The 254mm artillery shells on the two capital ships are amazing, and a huge crater will appear every time they fall.In just a few minutes, the position on the side of the Daqing River near the sea was bombed to pieces.

For the soldiers of the First Division, it is still a problem to deal with naval guns. They can only hope for the air force or underwater submarines.To be able to send these damn warships to the bottom of the ocean.But before they are finished, the soldiers can only passively weaken the damage of the naval guns.

Zhang Henian personally arranged the line of defense, the first officer reduced the number of fixed positions on the offshore side, and used multiple layers and depths to spread the enemy's firepower density as much as possible. Falling into a trench, the shock wave will be blocked by the trench, and there will be no tragedy of killing hundreds of people with a shell.

On a real battlefield, all trenches are curved, not straight lines in some sloppy film and television drama.Once the position is built in a straight line, and a shell falls, it is unknown how many people will die. Only the zigzag shape can weaken the lethality of the shell.

In addition, although Fengjun's bombers were transferred to the front line of the Yalu River, there were still many reconnaissance planes in Gaizhou, which were constantly patrolling, so the Japanese navy could not raise observation balloons, and most of the shells hit the empty space where no one was listening. Noisy, not lethal.

The bombardment lasted for more than an hour before the Japanese navy began to turn the muzzle and aim at Gaizhou City. When facing the city, the naval guns fully exerted their power. Whether it was 254mm, 120mm, or even 76mm, as long as it fell, it would inevitably cause Nearby buildings collapsed, especially the main cannon. When a shell went down, several or a dozen houses were often razed to the ground.

Many people who did not have time to retreat were all affected. The shells shattered their homes, and the huge tongue of flame swallowed everything.Fortunately, Fengjun made preparations in advance and moved out all the main institutions, schools, factories, and enterprises. The bombardment only killed and injured some civilians, but did not cause greater losses.

The small city of Gaizhou couldn't bear much bombardment at all, and soon the whole city was shrouded in black smoke, and the flames were billowing, swallowing everything.However, naval guns are not army guns. Not to mention the limited number of shells, the gun barrels will be worn out every time they are fired. The Japanese navy, which was originally stretched for military expenses, destroyed most of the targets that could be seen in Gaizhou City, leaving behind a few destroyers. The cover took the initiative to withdraw the main force.

In fact, there is also a factor of fear of Fengjun submarines, because the sky has darkened, and in the turbid sea, it is not known whether there are Fengjun submarines hiding, so they left in a hurry after completing the support mission.

Although the Japanese army had an absolute advantage in naval artillery, the Fengjun was more active in the army artillery. As the battle progressed, the Fengjun brought in eight 122mm guns and two 240mm guns.

With the addition of these new forces, Fengjun has gradually gained an advantage in the artillery battle. Zhang Tinglan fully upheld the concept of cannon first when building the army, especially after he was able to produce artillery by himself, Fengjun exploded artillery. No effort was spared.

The artillery is arranged in different ranges and calibers, and the echelon configuration can greatly increase the killing effect. Compared with the Japanese method of arranging all the cannons in a line, the Fengjun is undoubtedly much smarter.

In the bunker, Koike Anzhi paid attention to the situation on the front line. He also saw that the artillery was fighting very hard, but he didn't care. The Japanese artillery needed to be strengthened a long time ago, but since all the funds were invested in the navy, the army just I can only live with the nine equipment of the Russo-Japanese War.

But this time is an opportunity. He wants the Japanese government to understand that the war still depends on the army. Koike said to the people around him: "Give the 47th Regiment an order to attack the Chinese positions from the left!"

Chapter 644 Flesh Mill

In order to take Gaizhou, the Japanese sent two troops. The 47th Regiment detoured from the left flank and attacked the periphery of Gaizhou, while the No.13 Regiment attacked in a straight line along the South Manchuria Railway, heading straight for the city of Gaizhou. .

On the side near the coast, Fengjun's position had been bombed to pieces long ago. Before the soldiers could refurbish, the Japanese rushed up.Facing the turbulent Japanese, Feng Jun had already been prepared. When Zhang Henian designed the defense line, he dug three deep trenches, leading directly to the coastline. When the Japanese launched an attack, he detonated the prepared explosives. Then bring in the sea water.

Each ditch is six meters wide and two meters deep. After being filled with turbulent sea water, it is not easy to break through due to the short stature of the Japanese soldiers.

After the speed of their impact is contained, the superiority of Fengjun's firepower will be reflected. You, mortars, light and heavy machine guns, and grenades all greet the Japanese, and the Japanese are constantly blown to pieces and become a pile. Rotten meat.

Listening to their wailing, crying for their father and mother, the soldiers were particularly relieved, and they fought harder and harder.But in the other direction, there was no sea water to help out, and Feng Jun and the Japanese had a real bloody confrontation.

The Japanese sent No.13 Regiment, all of these soldiers were recruited from Kumamoto. As the saying goes, bad people come out of poor mountains and rivers, but in fact not only bad people, but also elite soldiers.Kumamoto has always been the toughest place for the Japanese, but the people here are also the most fierce and cruel.

They rushed towards Gaizhou City desperately, and Gaizhou City at this time had become a pile of rubble.Although Fengtian is developing rapidly, in a small place like Gaizhou, there are still mostly adobe houses, and there are not many reinforced concrete buildings.Can't stand the bombardment of the cannon at all.

In particular, the powerful power of the naval guns turned Gaizhou into ruins.However, these ruins also provided Fengjun with the convenience of defense.A large number of soldiers poured out from the caves where soldiers were stored in the rubble, and they each looked for cover and prepared for defense.

"Scatter! Scatter!" Ma Gang shouted loudly: "A group of three, with machine guns and grenades as the center."

The First Division has been tempered by the Battle of the Far East.The soldiers had already developed a good habit of obedience, and their movements were quite agile.Soon a regiment was organized into more than 300 combat teams according to the three-three tactical requirements. They hid in bomb craters, ditches, rubble, and even stinking pigpens.

As long as the bunkers can be used, all have been fully dug out, and each group does not fight in isolation, they are intertwined with each other.Formed countless triangles that can support each other.No matter from which side the Japanese attacked, they would be hit by fire from both sides.

Ma Gang chose a large bomb crater, where the south gate of the city can be clearly seen.It is very convenient for defense, and when exchanging battlefield experience with German soldiers, Ma Gang also knew that it was on the battlefield.In the same place, the probability of being hit by cannons consecutively is not high. During World War I, European soldiers also had this habit. They would hide in the previous crater to save their lives.

The surrounding area of ​​the bomb crater has been piled up with rubble from the collapsed house to form a natural barrier. When he led a machine gun team to clear the shooting angle, there were already intensive gunshots outside the south gate. The No.13 Wing launched a crazy attack towards the city.

They chanted slogans, not only did they have no fear on their faces, but they were full of enthusiasm. This was the third time they set foot on the land of China. We must also replicate miracles and bring supreme glory to Japan.

But they don't know.The opponent this time is completely different from the previous two.Zhou He is a sniper. Just over a year ago, he was an ordinary Orion boy.After joining Fengjun, his shooting talent was discovered. Tian Mu admired him very much and taught him his experience hand in hand.

This is Zhou He's first time on the battlefield, and his gun has locked on a second lieutenant.Who let this guy have nothing to show off his sharp command knife?Just command, if you have to raise your knife and say nonsense such as "Great Japanese Empire" and "Empire Warriors", as the saying goes, shoot the first bird and don't kill him.There is no reason for it.

In fact, the front-line officers of Fengjun had canceled the obvious military rank marks. Even if Zhang Tinglan went to inspect the battlefield in person, he only wore ordinary military uniforms, and soldiers were strictly forbidden to salute him, let alone surround him.With the accuracy of guns getting higher and higher, no one is tired of doing things wrong. When they ran to the battlefield, they even swaggered and shouted that I was the key person. Isn't that courting death!

But obviously the second lieutenant of the Japanese army, who stood out from the crowd, didn't understand this truth. When he was desperately charging and immersed in the illusion of being invincible, a bullet passed through his head.Like a rooster that was crowing happily but whose neck was suddenly broken, it fell among the soldiers with its broken head.

The tragic scene of blood mixed with brains also terrified the Japanese soldiers next to them. Only then did they realize that what they were facing was not an army of idiots.The more miserable the scene, the more it stimulated the ferocity and violence in the Japanese bones. They ignored the second lieutenant's death and continued to rush forward, but they also raised their vigilance and made various tactical actions to avoid bullets.

Successfully killing a second lieutenant, Zhou He also felt a little joy in his heart. He scratched the butt of the gun vigorously with his fingernails, and recorded the result of the battle.

boom!A shell landed not far from him, and the shrapnel and gravel from the explosion hit Zhou He's head, but there was only a tinkling sound.The First Division is the first batch of units officially equipped with helmets in the Feng army. With the protection of this gadget, the chances of survival for the soldiers have indeed been greatly improved.

However, the helmet can't block the gunpowder smoke blowing on his face, and Zhou He also felt that everything in front of him was blurred, but he is also a well-trained soldier, so he closed his eyes, and soon the gunpowder smoke dissipated, and his muzzle pointed at the gunpowder again. Targeted the Japanese soldiers who were closer.

He chose the most advanced Japanese assaulter 400 meters away. This guy is definitely the elite of the Japanese army. The heavy bullet from the sniper rifle hit the assaulter's thigh mercilessly. Ability, fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

Originally, Zhou He wanted to choose the next assaulter, but two Japanese medical soldiers who ran over cheered him up.It is difficult to deploy a large number of medical soldiers through simple training, because they must have sufficient medical treatment and trauma treatment knowledge, and need professional training. The shortage of medical soldiers in Fengjun has always been very large.

The soldiers all knew that in order to increase the number of medical soldiers, the Marshal's wife personally came out to train talents.Zhou Xinyao helped to write textbooks, and even the first-aid pamphlets that almost every soldier had was compiled by Zhou Xinyao.Among the soldiers, Mrs. Shuai was far more cordial than expected. Knowing the value of medical soldiers, Zhou He pointed his gun at them.

Two shots were fired, and two balls of blood splashed.These two medical soldiers also simply fell into a pool of blood, which means that a squadron of Japanese soldiers lost their care. It is precisely because of this that more wounded will die. It is so ruthless and efficient on the battlefield change.It is the pursuit of every outstanding fighter.

Under the ferocious attack of the snipers, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties, but this loss was not enough to scare the Japanese. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushed forward and quickly shortened the distance from the snipers.On the battlefield, we must pay attention to the density of firepower, and snipers can't fight against the sea of ​​people, so Zhou He and the others killed dozens of Japanese soldiers.Quickly shift positions.

The blocking task fell to the machine gunner, and two Maxims were made, spraying flames.The moment the sound of rattling sounded, two heavy machine guns deployed at an angle, like the Japanese infantry spilling hundreds of bullets, the crazy and terrifying rain of metal bullets formed an insurmountable barrier. The Japanese soldiers who rushed were shot through their bodies, and blood and bullets rolled and shuttled in the queue together.When the four 120-round ammunition belts were fired at the maximum speed, a layer of corpses had already been spread in the mud 300 meters away.

Before the Japanese army could think of a solution, in accordance with the strict tactical requirement that the machine guns should not stay at one point for 3 minutes, the two sturdy machine gunners had already retreated to the end of the town with the machine guns on their shoulders, and handed over the attack task to the grenadiers in other positions. , the Japanese can only look at the ocean and sigh.

Sure enough, the Japanese artillery shells fell as soon as they walked on their front feet.But there was nothing to gain except for blowing up countless gravel.However, the grenades in other positions dealt another severe blow to the Japanese army 300 meters away.

In Zhang Tinglan's cannon doctrine, it's not just heavy artillery. Mortars and even projectiles play an important role.The supremacy of firepower is the only philosophy on the battlefield. Whoever can pour the most bullets in the shortest time will win the battlefield.

Dozens of grenades continuously threw grenades into the Japanese army. The power of the fragmentation bombs was not small. The splashing shrapnel cut the Japanese's body, so even if the heavy machine guns retreated, the Japanese soldiers still complained.

300 meters! 300-meter fire barrier!

This is the distance between infantry life and death recognized by later generations!After the conclusion of the two world wars, the world-recognized ideal combat distance of infantry is 300 meters, so in the design of firearms, the range of thousands of shots is also abandoned, and the firepower within 300 meters is concentrated.
