Chapter 47: Hand-to-hand combat in front of the artillery position (new book, please watch)
However, just as Hirano Jiro's order was issued, he heard the sound of "bang bang" shelling not far away. The sound was short and dull.
Based on many years of experience, Hirano Jiro and Captain Yamazaki immediately recognized that this was the sound made by the Imperial Type 97 90mm cannon.
The moment they heard the sound of the cannon, both of them were stunned. Due to the relevant regulations of the Artillery Department of the Ministry of War, although the cannon (mortar) is called a cannon, it has small caliber, light weight, low power, etc. Because of this, it is not listed as the standard equipment of the artillery department. It is only used as individual infantry firepower. Therefore, there is no mortar establishment in regular artillery units like them.
Since their artillery brigade is not equipped with mortars, where can the sound of mortars come from? It seems that there are quite a few of them?
Hirano Jiro and Captain Yamazaki looked at each other and hurriedly ran outside the command post!
But before they could run out, there were violent explosions all around, and the entire command post was immediately razed to the ground.
Two kilometers away, Li Guoyao's artillery squadron leader Yang Lezheng excitedly commanded his artillery to blast the Japanese artillery positions.
The mortars in their hands were all produced in Jiaxing City. There were 12 in total, all of which were the more advanced Type 97 90mm light mortars of the Japanese army.
This kind of artillery has a very famous "nickname" in China - "small steel cannon" because of its curved trajectory, small dead zone, fast rate of fire, high power, light weight, small size, easy maneuverability and structure. It is famous for its simplicity, ease of operation and low cost.
For this kind of light mortar, the distance of two kilometers is just right, so before touching the artillery position of the little devil, Li Guoyao ordered the artillery squadron to immediately carry out a comprehensive artillery bombardment of the artillery position of the little devil.
Although the artillerymen under Li Guoyao were temporarily trained by Yang Le, and their quality was not very high, they could not hold up too many guns. These 12 mortars could be used in other troops to form an artillery battalion, but they were all used by Li Guoyao. The team is in an artillery squadron.
In addition, on the way here, Yang Le has been teaching relevant theories to the soldiers under his command, and occasionally practices them, so the effect of the cannon fire just now was pretty good.
Moreover, although the power of mortars is not great, it is flexible enough and is much more powerful than infantry artillery or mountain artillery at close range.
Yang Le knew that the artillery squadron's combat mission this time was to completely destroy the Japanese artillery positions and lure the Japanese infantry to pursue them, so he ordered the soldiers of the artillery squadron not to save artillery shells, but to use up all the artillery shells they brought within five minutes. Then retreat immediately and leave the rest to Li Guoyao.
The sudden bombardment by Li Guoyao's troops immediately stunned the Japanese artillery. Explosions, screams, gunfire, and the explosion of artillery shells were heard together, and the Japanese artillery position quickly turned into a sea of ??flames.
At the same time that the artillery battalion was firing, Li Guoyao and his second squadron had moved less than 500 meters away from the Japanese artillery position. Taking advantage of the panic of the little Japanese, Li Guoyao gave the order to charge.
"Da da da"
In order to strengthen the assault firepower, Li Guoyao deliberately removed more than ten light machine guns from other squadrons to the Second Squadron. As a result, the number of machine guns in the Second Squadron reached 14, and the firepower was greatly enhanced.
After receiving Li Guoyao's order, a dozen machine gunners cleared the way in front, and the others followed and charged, quickly approaching the Japanese position.
It has to be said that the individual soldier quality of the little Japanese in the early days of the war was still very strong. Despite the sudden attack and despite the constant explosion of artillery shells around them, the Japanese army did not panic.
The infantry team protecting the artillery position immediately opened fire and counterattacked, and the machine gun position at the front of the artillery position rapidly sprayed deadly steel ammunition.
The Japanese counterattack suddenly caused casualties to Li Guoyao's troops. The soldiers in front continued to fall, but no one retreated. Under the leadership of Li Guoyao and Xie Baojun, they continued to charge.
Li Guoyao half-knelt on the ground. The 38 cap in his hand quickly locked on the Japanese machine gunner, and then quickly pulled the trigger!
"boom"
The moment the gunshot rang out, the Japs¡¯ machine gunner fell to the ground, with half of his head ripped off!
Although the little devil's 38-meter cover is not very powerful, its accuracy is really good. It can be used as a sniper rifle at a distance of 500 meters. The only thing missing is a scope.
But now the distance is only two to three hundred meters. It doesn¡¯t matter to Li Guoyao whether he has a sight or not.Basically, it means hitting wherever you go!
Li Guoyao found that the biggest threat to them on the battlefield at this time was the machine gun position. The other Japs were not a big threat, so Li Guoyao stopped charging and knelt on the ground to act as a sniper, constantly killing the Japs' machine gunners. .
When one machine gunner is killed, another one will soon take his place. It¡¯s really like one after another!
But it was of no use. Before Li Guoyao was promoted to the captain of the Jiaolong Commando, he was a sniper. When he picked up a rifle, he was an invincible killer on the battlefield. The little devil still had a chance to pull the trigger in front of him.
A simple 38-inch rifle completely suppressed the Jaap's machine gun position. The No. 2 Squadron, which was not threatened by the machine gun, rushed towards the Jaap's position like hungry wolves. Then the two sides rushed together and started a hand-to-hand battle.
At this time, there were only thirty or forty Japanese troops left on the battlefield, but they were not timid at all when facing more than two hundred Chinese troops, and they did not shout for surrender. Instead, they quickly removed their bullets and swarmed towards them with guns in hand.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
More importantly, these little devils quickly formed a three-person fighting team and stared at the Chinese army back to back, just like a hedgehog, which was hard to swallow.
In his previous life, Li Guoyao knew that the little devil could fight with a bayonet twice, but he did not expect that he would be so powerful. Individually, the soldiers under his command were no worse than the little devil. They must be tall, strong, and powerful, and their weapons and equipment are also good. Just like the little devil, how come he was beaten ten to one by the opponent as soon as he started!
Suddenly Li Guoyao remembered the words of an old professor when he was studying in the military academy. He was an old soldier with a profound study of Japanese military history. Once in class, he mentioned the performance of the Japanese army in hand-to-hand combat during World War II.
According to him, the overall quality of the Japanese army during World War II was only second-rate in the world, worse than the first-level German and Soviet armies. However, the Japanese army's bayonet fighting skills were recognized as excellent and they would definitely rank among them. At the forefront of the world.
The little devil¡¯s skill in bayonet fighting is definitely not innate. In the final analysis, it is the result of training.
?According to the old professor, Japanese recruits have half a year of training after joining the army, of which 45 days are dedicated to training in stabbing techniques. This shows how much the Japanese army attaches importance to stabbing. The Japanese army also often holds stabbing competitions within the army to prevent veterans from slacking off in training. As a result, the longest training event for veterans is stabbing.
With top-to-bottom attention, a Japanese veteran from World War II can usually defeat one against two in hand-to-hand combat. If three Japanese veterans form an attack formation, it will be both offensive and defensive.
In addition, Japan also specially asked domestic masters of cold weapons to summarize the stabbing techniques suitable for the Japanese. Since the Japanese are relatively short in stature, they should focus on the speed and strength of the thrust, rather than fighting for strength. Just try to hit the enemy's vital part as quickly as possible.
Although the U.S. military and the Chinese army at that time also attached great importance to stabbing, they lagged behind Japan in terms of technology. The only ones who could compete with the Japanese army in stabbing were Soviet soldiers. Moreover, the Soviet army is also good at hand-to-hand combat. Their physical strength and other aspects are superior, and they are evenly matched against Japanese soldiers in hand-to-hand combat.
You should also pay special attention to the weapons you use when stabbing. The Japanese army's standard weapon is the Sanba Gaigai, which is 1.28 meters long. Coupled with the length of the bayonet, it is easy to gain an advantage in battle. After all, melee weapons are one inch longer and one inch stronger. During World War II, the only thing longer than the 38-gun was the Mosin-Nagant rifle.
In other words, both Japanese soldiers and weapons are good at stabbing, but these require rigorous training.
But as the war wore on, more and more Japanese veterans died, and a large number of new recruits went to the front line without undergoing traditional stabbing training, resulting in the Japanese army's stabbing level declining as the war continued.
However, in the late World War II, the major military powers began to enter the era of rapid fire. The armies of Western countries were equipped with a large number of submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles. Japan, which was different from the Western concept, believed that bayonets were not a problem at all.
Therefore, when the Japanese army encountered the US military, when they unloaded their bullets and began to charge, the US military would not accept hand-to-hand combat like the Chinese soldiers, but chose to shoot. After all, those on the opposite side were all living targets.
The Japanese army also ridiculed the US military for not knowing how to bayonet and only shooting from a distance like cowards.
But now the Japanese army is still at the beginning of the war, and there are many veterans in the army, so Li Guoyao's troops will really suffer when fighting them with bayonets.
In view of this, Li Guoyao immediately shouted: "Use a fucking gun to solve it"
