The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 694 Japanese bombing
The noise around him made the veteran confused. A shell landed not far away from him. There was a loud noise in his head. The veteran who ran to the corner shook his head and raised his head to look at the dull sky.

buzzing.

Japanese planes are coming.

The Japanese attack pattern was still as expected, with artillery bombardment, aircraft bombing, and infantry following the tanks.

[-]am.

The Japanese army launched a full-line offensive.

The No. 11 Cavalry Regiment began to launch a diversionary attack against the 74st Division of the 51th Army in the front. The degree of artillery bombardment and aircraft bombardment were far inferior to those in the southeast of Luodian.Fortunately, during the battle for Luodian, in order to deal with Japanese aircraft, the Chinese army hollowed out the entire underground of Luodian and built a large number of tunnels to resist the bombing of Japanese aircraft and artillery.

Even after retreating a certain distance, they still dug many tunnels and built a large number of bunkers.

But the Japanese bombing was too sudden, without any warning. Many soldiers of the 51st Division had just woken up, and the veterans were still chatting in the cooking class. During the bombing, many people still died under the Japanese artillery fire in order to avoid it. .

The veterans rushed towards the new company's position along the low wall and the stone wall. There were figures of soldiers running towards the position everywhere, from every company.

He jumped into the trench, got into the tunnel, and found that many soldiers had gathered in the tunnel. These soldiers probably didn't know each other and looked at each other blankly. They came from various companies. The Japanese bombardment was too sudden and without warning.

"Each company should go in its own direction and hurry up. The Japanese are coming."

Someone shouted loudly in the tunnel.

The rumbling sound of artillery fire could not be heard clearly at all. The soldier who was delivering the order squatted in the tunnel, running and shouting all the way, and shouted loudly when he met the soldiers.

There are wooden signs on the walls with directions written on them for soldiers to identify.

The veterans knew that their position was in front. They walked along the tunnel and met many soldiers on the road. After passing through these soldiers, they rushed to the entrance of the tunnel. A strong wind swept the rain and rushed out of the tunnel. The whole world was shrouded in inflammation. .

Boom, artillery shells exploded in their ears. Some soldiers carried guns and ran quickly in the direction of the veteran. The artillery shells exploded next to them. The air waves carrying black smoke and rain almost swallowed them up. They burst from the artillery shells. He rushed out of the smoke, crouched down close to the veteran, and quickly got into the tunnel.

The veteran gritted his teeth and ran forward quickly along the trench. Along the way, he saw the corpses of soldiers who had been killed by Japanese artillery before they could run, lying on the ground. There were also soldiers whose legs were blown off. They couldn't run, so they were holding their guns. sit on the floor.

He ran all the way down the trench, got into a tunnel, continued running deeper, and soon came to the position of the new company.

"Veteran, where have you been? Why are you so slow? Go take a look at the soldiers in your platoon and lead them into the position!"

As soon as the veteran arrived in the tunnel, Xia Yuan saw him.

"Yes!"

The veteran did not explain or waste time, and shouted: "Second row, follow me!"

A group of soldiers shouted and ran forward.

Niu Qian and Platoon Leader Li had already led their men and were waiting in front of their respective tunnels.

"Company Commander, are the Japanese preparing to attack us?" Er Lengzi shouted. Fortunately, the Japanese army was bombing the villages in the rear. The number of shells falling on the position was relatively small and the sound was not very loud.

"The Japanese have launched a general offensive. When the fighting starts, you will follow me."

Xia Yuan shouted and asked him to wait where he was, while he touched the trench and looked into the distance through the hazy smoke.

The villages in the distance were also bombed by the Japanese army. It was still unclear where the Japanese troops were. When I felt strange, the scouts on the front line brought a report.

"Japanese troops appeared, right in front of us, about two kilometers away, with tanks and armored vehicles."

"It's coming very quickly, Erlunzi, let us know and order everyone to get ready for battle."

"Yes!"

The second idiot ran forward along the trench.

Xia Yuan stayed where he was, his eyes slightly focused. This was a sign of his eyes converging a little after turning on the eagle eye. There were scouts from his company in the village ahead, and there were also their scouts two kilometers away. The Japanese army had sent an offensive force, and there were With the coordination of tanks, the Japanese army began to fight on a large scale.

He glanced at the time on his watch, it was a little after seven o'clock.

The Japanese plane bombings stopped, gunpowder smoke drifted on the battlefield, and the water on the position was muddy.

The scouts in front brought back news.

The Japanese army is coming.

But they did not launch an attack, and several tanks pressed against the national army's defense line.

"Continue the investigation." Xia Yuan ordered the scouts and asked the platoon leaders to count the casualties.

In the first round of bombing by the Japanese army, only one person in the new company died, and four others were slightly injured. The casualties were not high. The main reason was that the Japanese army bombed the village and the main positions in the rear. The forward positions were not within their bombing range. Secondly, they evaded quite promptly.

"The Japanese army has not launched an attack and is still on the periphery. What do they want to do?"

The veteran looked at the situation on the front line and could not see the movement of the Japanese army. But at this moment, the Japanese army had occupied the village in front. The scout lay on the reverse slope and carefully poked half of his head out.

"Wait a minute, the Japanese army will probably attack soon." Xia Yuan couldn't figure out the Japanese army's thoughts. They had parked their tanks in front of their house, and it was obviously unreasonable not to attack.

Boom!
Suddenly, a dull sound came from behind them.

Artillery shells flew out from the village behind them, dragging a long arc and hitting the Japanese position.

"It's our artillery!"

After fighting for so long, this was the first time Xia Yuan saw their artillery firing at the Japanese army.

From the Korean battlefield to the Anti-Japanese battlefield, no matter which battle it was, their weapons, equipment and firepower were far inferior to the enemy's. As for the artillery, there were even fewer cannons. Slowly, he got used to it.

The National Army's artillery only carried out a brief bombardment on the Japanese army. Then, the Japanese artillery fired over. The ground shook tremendously, and the soldiers in the tunnel seemed to be sitting in a drum.

"The Japanese infantry is coming!" The scout brought back very important information.

The Japanese army launched an attack on the position.

The soldiers quickly rushed out of the tunnel and were met by Japanese tanks.

It is said to be a Japanese tank, but it is actually a small Vickers tank imported by the Japanese army from the United Kingdom and Italy. The skin is quite thin and can be destroyed by a cluster grenade explosion.This kind of original police equipment was deceived by Italian gangsters into selling it to the Japanese, and they even bought a lot of it.

This tank is considered an old antique. In [-], during the first Battle of Songhu, the Japanese armored forces were very poor. This kind of police tank was put into use as a war weapon. The results can be imagined. It performed well on the Songhu battlefield. Not good, there is less equipment later.

During the Songhu War in 89, the Japanese tanks began to be upgraded. They were no longer this fragile tank, but the more advanced Type 95 medium tank, Type 97 light tank, and Type [-] medium tank.

The national army is equipped with anti-tank weapons, including German-made 37mm anti-tank guns.

The 51st Division also has equipment, but the new company does not.

However, the Japanese army used small Vickers tanks, which had very thin skins and did not need anti-tank guns at all.

Xia Yuan knew nothing about tanks and had no anti-tank weapons. He knew how to use cluster grenades. The commander of the [-]st Regiment was very fond of him and gave him a lot of grenade support to make cluster grenades. As long as the tank was close to the position, Xia Yuan You have the ability to throw this thing onto the armor of the tank.

"You fool, go get the grenade!"

Erluzi has become Xia Yuan's deputy and ran out of the tunnel carrying a box of grenades.

Whoosh whoosh!
The heavy machine guns equipped on the Japanese tanks began to suppress the Chinese troops on the ground. A squadron of Japanese troops followed two tanks and launched an attack on the position. The Japanese squadron leader held a command knife and followed the tanks, ordering the soldiers to speed up.

They did not encounter resistance from the national soldiers, and the attack went quite smoothly. The bullets from the heavy machine guns hit the bunkers on the trenches, making a pop-pop sound, and the soil was blown away and everywhere.

The soldiers were hiding in the trenches, holding grenades and guns, waiting for Xia Yuan's orders.

"Calm down and don't show your face to me. If the Japanese devils want to come, let them come, but if a fight breaks out later, no one will give me any fear."

Platoon Leader Li's fighting style is relatively tough, and he is the master of fighting without risking his life.

Xia Yuan saw the shadow of the big man in him.

The Japanese offensive troops pressed over, and the Sixth Company led by Company Commander Huang on the flank was already engaged in fighting with the Japanese. The roaring was incessant and the battle was particularly fierce.

The newly formed company was able to maintain its composure mainly because of Xia Yuan. One person has a high prestige in the company, which is very beneficial for commanding operations. In addition, Xia Yuan appointed platoon leader Li, a veteran, and Niu Qian to serve as commanders of three platoons. The platoon leader and the command level are all his people, so this company is quite united.

He used a rope to tie several grenades together, and a simple cluster grenade was ready.

Low cost, high power, and easy to make, these are the advantages of cluster grenades.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army liked this stuff very much. Most of their grenades were homemade. The grenades were stuffed with black powder. If they were not powerful enough, they tied the grenades together to make them more powerful.

Oncoming were two Japanese tanks, followed by a large number of infantry.

Xia Yuan didn't have much experience in dealing with tanks.

Except for the U.S. tanks in Changjin Lake, I have basically never fought them. However, when I was in the [-]th Division, I ambushed a U.S. tank once, but they used a bazooka. That thing is a tank. Big killer.

This is the first time to face a Japanese tank, especially such a crispy tank.

A cluster grenade can wipe out such a tank.

The Japanese army was getting closer and closer to the position, and the calmness of the position was unexpected by the Japanese army. Therefore, the Japanese infantry were very careful when attacking, and they hunched their bodies. Once they encountered resistance from the national army, they could quickly lie down and fight back.

What is supposed to come will come. Xia Yuan held the cluster grenade, pulled it and threw it out. The grenade flew across the battlefield filled with smoke and drizzle, and hit the front of the Japanese tank steadily with a huge bang. The sound can be heard in the explosion, with the trembling of metal, and thick smoke rising from the tank.

"beat!"

Just like a signal, the Chinese soldiers hiding in the trenches quickly poked their heads out, fired at the Japanese troops, and threw grenades.The machine gun position in the rear began to roar. One heavy machine gun and six light machine guns fired bullets with an overwhelming momentum.

The Japanese army was caught off guard. The Japanese soldiers walking in the front row were shot by machine guns. The calibers of the light and heavy machine guns were good. Bullets whizzed non-stop. Some Japanese soldiers reacted very quickly and quickly fell to the ground. On the ground, those who were slow to react were all stabbed to the core by the bullets fired by the national army.

Whether it was a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun, they only conducted a simple round of rapid fire. After the rapid fire, the suppressed Japanese army was charged by the national army.

The distance between the front and back was only more than ten meters. The Japanese soldiers fired in a hurry and were too late. The newly formed company of Chinese soldiers from the 51st Division were full of iron and blood. As soon as the order to attack was given, they rushed out of the bunker one after another, with bright weapons on their muzzles. bayonet.

Hand-to-hand combat is the most brutal and effective, and can reduce casualties. As long as they are mixed into a pot of porridge, the Japanese artillery will not dare to bomb, and their tanks and machine guns will not dare to fire indiscriminately.

A Japanese squadron surprised Xia Yuan, but this Japanese squadron fought against the positions of two companies of the national army.

"The ambition is not small. I'm here to kill them all in one round! Go ahead, don't let them escape!"

Xia Yuan took the lead and rushed towards the Japanese army with a bayonet in hand.

His charge was very powerful, with big leaps and leaps. He actually stepped a few meters away and rushed in front of the Japanese soldier. The Japanese soldier raised his gun and pushed forward in a panic, but Xia Yuan's feet were sharper than his gun. When he pushed out, his big foot hit him, causing him to flip over.

The spear with a bayonet penetrated the Japanese soldier's body.

All this happened so suddenly that the Japanese soldier beside him didn't even react. He looked at the 1.8-meter tall Xia Yuan with a little nervousness, holding a [-]-type rifle that was almost as long as himself. , let out a strange scream, and stabbed Xia Yuan's chest. In fact, it was aimed at Xia Yuan's stomach.

Stinging trick!
These are all the leftover things from Xia Yuan's play.

It was obvious that this Japanese soldier was a veteran, and he was quite skilled in stabbing and deception. He pushed the bayonet into the air, suddenly turned the muzzle of the gun, aimed at Xia Yuan's stomach, and stabbed him.

Xia Yuan's eyes were cold, he took long strides, blocked his attack, and stepped forward with a single lunge. His strength, speed, and reaction were unparalleled. With one block, the Japanese soldier almost let go of his gun.

"When you get to the battlefield, even if you don't care about the gun, I will send you to see the King of Hell!"

"Nani!"

Hearing Xia Yuan's words, the Japanese soldier suddenly raised his head, with a trace of surprise in his eyes. Then, the stinging pain in his abdomen made him wake up from his surprise. When he looked down, he saw that the bayonet had been withdrawn from his stomach, and a feeling of weakness surged to his limbs. Hundreds of bones, the whole body was covered in pain.
