    Chapter 56: Charge to the death (new book, please watch)

    Even so, Zhang Tengjiao was not afraid. On the Songhu battlefield, although the Japs used this medieval human sea tactic to achieve considerable results, that was because the Chinese army had too little automatic firepower.

    Now there are more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns in their squadron. Coupled with the narrow terrain, the small Japanese army cannot deploy. Such a dense charging camp is just a collective death, so Zhang Tengjiao immediately ordered the soldiers to concentrate and wait for the small Japanese army.  When the devil gets close, fire.

    "Sir, the little Japs are less than eighty meters away from our trenches!"

    "Send a signal to the two flanks, prepare grenades, throw all the grenades out within two minutes, and then shoot immediately." Zhang Tengjiao ordered.

    "yes"

    Captain Yamamoto was extremely excited to see the Chinese position so close. There were still fifty meters away. For the warriors of the Japanese Empire, as long as they entered this distance, it was no longer a problem to win the position.

    Although more than half of his infantry squadron had suffered casualties in order to capture this position, at least his life was saved.

    However, before the excitement on his face could last long, he saw a large number of iron lumps flying out from the Chinese position. These iron lumps were familiar to Captain Yamamoto. They were melon grenades produced by the Empire.

    "Baga, it's a grenade, lie down."

    Grenades blocked the sky. In just two minutes, at least more than a thousand grenades fell on the heads of the Japanese soldiers. Captain Yamamoto had never seen grenades used like this. The violent explosion instantly destroyed the mountain road.  The dust was flying, and the attack of Yamamoto Squadron was directly repelled.

    After the charge was severely beaten back again, Major Noda suddenly became angry and immediately shouted: "Let Squadron Sato come in!"

    "Hai!"

    Following Major Noda¡¯s order, another squadron of soldiers rushed forward, cooperating with Yamamoto¡¯s squadron, which suffered more than half of its casualties, to attack.

    After retreating to 300 meters away to rest for a while, the two squadrons of the little devil rushed up again!

    "Buzz"

    The sound of aircraft engines came from the sky, and the little devils cheered immediately. Without the support of tanks and artillery, the plane became the life-saving straw for the little devils.

    "Yamamoto-kun, our plane is here, we still have a chance!" Captain Sato said in a deep voice.

    Captain Yamamoto stared at Captain Sato like a gambler who lost his sight and said: "Yoshi, Sato-kun's words make sense. Let's reorganize our formation immediately and prepare to attack!"

    "Boom boom boom"

    Five Japanese aircraft kept circling and swooping over the position of the first squadron. Dozens of aerial bombs fell on the Chinese army's position, and the entire position was shrouded in flames of war.

    "Boom"

    An aerial bomb exploded next to Zhang Tengjiao, blowing away a heavy machine gun next to him, as well as the machine gunner, assistant shooter and ammunition hand, and even made a huge pit in the ground.

    Since they have no anti-aircraft weapons, they can only be passively beaten by the Japanese planes.

    And with the cover of the plane, the little Japanese once again launched a fatal charge towards the position of the first squadron.

    "Two hundred meters"

    "One hundred and fifty meters"

    "One hundred meters"

    When the distance was only a hundred meters away, Zhang Tengjiao shouted: "Fire and hit me hard!"

    Following Zhang Tengjiao¡¯s order, all the firepower on the defender¡¯s position opened fire. The firepower network composed of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns and hundreds of rifles instantly tore apart the formation of the little devils.

    Captain Yamamoto, who was rushing at the front, was directly hit in the body by a series of machine gun fires, and then fell to the position!

    After Captain Yamamoto was killed in battle, Captain Sato took over the command and still did not stop the attack.

    At this time, they were less than a hundred meters away from the front-line position. As long as they rushed into the position, they could start a hand-to-hand fight with the Chinese army. With the ability of the Imperial Japanese Army in bayonet fighting, they could win with less and defeat the Chinese army in front of them. It would not be a problem to defeat the Chinese army in front of them.  big.

    However, what he did not expect was that the Chinese troops on the opposite side were not only large in number, but also seemed to have quite sufficient ammunition. With so many light and heavy machine guns firing non-stop, the ammunition consumed per minute would probably not be less than two to three thousand rounds.  This battle has been going on for more than an hour, which means that the opponent has now consumed close to 200,000 rounds of ammunition.

    Based on their understanding of the Chinese army, the ammunition reserves of the general division-level Chinese army will not be high.??Millions of rounds, and the force on the opposite side seems to be less than a regiment in terms of strength. How much ammunition can they have!

    When the Yamamoto Squadron was charging, Sato was estimating that if the fight continued like this, the Chinese army's ammunition would probably last for half an hour at most. But now an hour and a half has passed, and the opponent still seems to have enough ammunition.

    How could they know that Li Guoyao and others had emptied all the ammunition of their 10th Army from Jiaxing City? Now not only their 18th Division, but even all the ammunition supplies of the entire 10th Army had appeared.  It¡¯s a problem, but most people don¡¯t know it.

    Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the little devils will directly issue 120 rounds of rifle ammunition and 60 to 100 rounds of machine gun ammunition to the soldiers every time when fighting. This is enough for an army to fight for a week, plus the division  First-level troops will have a small ammunition depot with the army, and the baggage troops will be responsible for escorting it, so the little devils don't have to worry about bullets for ten days and a half. The most they lack is some artillery shells.

    The battle is still going on, both sides are working hard!

    Seeing the situation on the front line, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the artillerymen to immediately carry out artillery reinforcements on the front line without worrying about the consumption of ammunition!

    After receiving Li Guoyao's order, Yang Le immediately ordered his artillery to bombard Sato's squadron.

    For a dense charge formation like the Little Devils, the effect of artillery bombardment is quite good. Basically, one shot will cover a large area.

    After a series of shellings, the front-line charge formation of the Little Japanese suddenly collapsed. After paying an extremely heavy price, the main force retreated like a tide.

    Major Noda, who was commanding the battle from behind, was shocked and angry. He looked at the less than a hundred troops at the front and felt chilled. There were more than 400 people in two infantry squadrons, and in the blink of an eye, there were only a few defeated soldiers left.  Now, thinking of the commander's cold orders, Major Noda was completely desperate.

    Now it is not only Major Noda who is desperate, but also the troops responsible for coming for reinforcements. The Chinese army is more difficult than they expected.

    This time it is just the second line of defense. They seem to have encountered a natural chasm. They have almost exhausted all their methods and still cannot defeat the opponent!

    "Noda-kun, now our two brigades have suffered heavy losses, and the total number of soldiers is less than 800. Therefore, in my opinion, we can only fight to the death!" Major Yamada, captain of the second corps, said in a deep voice.

    "Yamada-kun, do you have any good ideas?"

    "There is no good way. If the special cigarettes are not used up, we can try the special cigarettes, but the special cigarettes were used up two days ago, so our only way now is to use human lives to fill them."

    Major Noda thought for a while and said: "But the casualties"

    Before Major Noda could finish speaking, Yamada said in a deep voice: "Noda-kun, don't forget the commander's order. If we can't defeat the Chinese army in front of us, we will all die. Instead of dying in shame, it is better to fight bravely. I  I plan to personally lead the charge later!"

    "Yo Xi, come together. We'll see you at the shrine soon!" Noda said.

    "Well, but before launching the charge, we must send a telegram to the commander of the unit. While explaining the situation, it can also be regarded as a farewell telegram for our two brigades!" Yamada said.

    "well!"

    After speaking, Major Noda dictated that the radio operator immediately reported the situation on the Yanshan battlefield to the 55th Regiment Headquarters!

    After the telegram was sent, Major Noda once again ordered the troops to assemble. This time they no longer assembled according to squadrons, but all the soldiers of the two broken brigades gathered together. Then, according to Major Noda's order, they launched an attack on the front-line garrison positions.  The final charge.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
