    The artillery battle lasted for about half an hour before it stopped, not because who killed whom, but because the Japs ran out of shells.

    Junroku Matsuura did not carry much ammunition when he went south to De'an for the battle, and because Matsuura used artillery crazily to clear the way, the ammunition for a week was consumed in less than three days.

    So when the troops returned to attack Jiujiang, all the artillery shells in the entire division were only two bases. If Okamura Neiji had not ordered people to airdrop supplies to the 106th Division in time, the artillery of the Matsuura Division would have been  The regiment has long since lost its combat effectiveness.

    However, the amount of airdrop supplies was limited after all. Coupled with the troubles caused by the national army, the Matsuura Division could only receive 40% of the 100% supplies. 30% of the remaining 60% were snatched away by the national army, leaving the remaining 60%.  The next 30% was destroyed.

    Due to a serious shortage of artillery shells, and the fighting between the two sides was too fierce throughout the day, the artillery fired almost non-stop, and the consumption of artillery shells was beyond imagination, so the ammunition for the large-caliber artillery was exhausted in the afternoon.  Declare exhaustion.

    Fortunately, the Japanese army's mortars and Type 92 infantry guns were not included in the artillery regiment's establishment, and the ammunition consumption was quite moderate. Therefore, after the mountain artillery and field artillery stopped fire support, these small artillery began to show their power and continued  Attack with infantry.

    Although the Little Devil¡¯s mountain artillery and field artillery have stopped attacking, the power of these small-caliber artillery is not small, mainly because the quality of the Little Devil¡¯s artillery is extremely high, which even Li Guoyao¡¯s troops cannot compete with.

    While the artillery was shelling, the Japanese infantry began to charge. When the shelling stopped, they had already rushed within two to three hundred meters of the defenders' position.

    The infantry charge after the artillery bombardment is the most common tactic of the Japanese army, and it is also a classic tactic in the Japanese infantry drill. Therefore, every Japanese officer will use such tactics to launch an attack in battle.

    However, due to the urgent military situation, Kimura Kogoro did not let the puppet troops test the firepower of the Chinese defenders as before, but launched an elite attack from the very beginning.

    "Hurry, hurricane, hurricane"

    A sharp whistle sounded from the Second Battalion's position. This was the siren of an enemy attack!

    When they heard the whistle, the soldiers knew that the Japanese infantry was coming up, and hurriedly got up from the trenches to prepare for battle, and all this happened in just a few seconds.

    The first thing to fire was not the rifle, but the machine gun that had been prepared for a long time. Since the Japanese infantry had already entered within two hundred meters, it was time for the machine gun show.

    Following the order of Second Battalion Commander Long Linghui, more than 20 light and heavy machine guns deployed at the front opened fire at the same time!

    "Da da da"

    Intense bullets were fired at the charging Japanese army, forming a death blockade in front of the Japanese army, and rows of Japanese soldiers were knocked down.

    As the most ferocious life harvester on the battlefield, there is no doubt about the power of the machine gun.

    The dense bullets carried the hatred of the soldiers and shot at the Japanese and puppet troops. The huge lethality immediately interrupted the Japanese offensive that had just launched a charge.

    The little devil is also a person, and it is different from the ghost soldiers of the permanent division. These ghost soldiers of the 106th Division are composed of troops from the reserve troops. Many of them have passed the age of blood and impulse.

    ¡°This person, when he was twenty years old, he was most easily deceived and easily brainwashed by others, but after that age he became rational.

    The little devils are also human beings, and they are not stupid. Although they have to come according to the order and have to attack, it does not mean that they want to die.

    Seeing the comrades around them falling to the ground continuously and being beaten into pieces by the terrifying bullets fired from the opposite side, many Japanese soldiers fell to the ground in fear and did not dare to move forward.

    There is no way. Maybe many Japanese soldiers are not afraid of death as they say, but not being afraid of death does not mean that they will not die. No one can be truly calm in the face of the probability of death.

    After all, the Japanese army is also composed of humans, not monsters. Continuous fighting and the death of a large number of soldiers will inevitably greatly reduce the combat morale of the troops.

    Major Kimura was furious when he saw the soldiers lying on the ground like quails. He knew very well that the key to charging forward was to move forward in order to be invincible. It would be impossible for him to fall to the ground and fight back as soon as he heard the sound of gunfire.  It was impossible to capture the opposing garrison position.

    Out of rage, Major Kimura immediately waved his command sword and shouted loudly: "Baga! Susu Mei (Japanese for advance)."

    Although the Japanese have such shortcomings, it is undeniable that the discipline of the little devil is still admirable.?'s.

    Although the Japanese look very similar to the Chinese, the foundation of their country is very different from that of China.

    China is governed by literati. In ancient times, the Chinese took the imperial examination route to serve as officials and govern.  Japan has been learning from China for thousands of years, but it has not learned from the imperial examination system. Therefore, there is no imperial examination system in Japan. Japan's governance comes from war, and everything depends on the sword.

    There is a saying in China that "literati despise each other", which means that literati despise each other!

    ??But warriors are different, warriors must love each other.  Only then can we help each other and save each other's lives on the battlefield.

    "The Way of the Bushi" and "The Book of Hidden Leaf" can be said to be the foundation of Japanese samurai, and their central idea is to see through life and death.  Emphasizing "die without hesitation, die without scruples, die without hesitation", a person who regards life and death as insignificant will definitely not panic when facing any difficulties.

    This kind of thinking has created scenes that we often see on the battlefield: the Japanese army still fights crazily when there is no possibility of victory.  Until the last moment, he launched a suicidal charge and died together with the enemy.

    The most important thing for a samurai is discipline.

    When given an order, one must move forward bravely. Among them, the "pig attack tactic" of Japan's "Military God" Nogi Nogi Nogi is the most famous.  The "pig attack tactic" is to lower your head like a pig, wave your samurai sword, and rush forward desperately during a fight.

    Even if there is blood and flesh flying everywhere in front, the people behind will not hesitate to step on the corpses of their companions.  Japan relied on the "pig attack tactic" to defeat two superpowers - China and Russia.

    ? Japanese samurai have a very high status in the Japanese country and are respected by the people.  Therefore, these Japanese soldiers armed with the spirit of Bushido have formed a national character that sees through life and death, moves forward courageously, and observes discipline. This is the spiritual pillar that they are called to continue fighting.

    Therefore, after hearing Kimura Kogoro's order, these Japanese soldiers who were originally scared to death seemed to have been injected with blood. Then they held their bayonets straight, straightened their bodies, lined up in neat rows, and marched forward arrogantly.  , seemed not to be afraid of bullets and grenades coming at all.

    However, Kimura Kogoro met Long Linghui, a soldier from Northeast China.

    Since the relationship between the Northeastern Army and the Japanese Army was relatively harmonious before September 18th, and the commander-in-chief was still alive at that time, there was a lot of communication between the two sides. Therefore, Long Linghui knew the situation of the Japs very well.

    When Long Linghui saw the movements of the little devils, he knew that these guys were going to fight hard. According to the Japanese army's drill code, when approaching a distance of about 200 meters from the enemy's main defense line, after suppressing the enemy's machine gun firepower, the infantry should start to fight hand-to-hand.  assault.

    The Japanese army¡¯s superstition of hand-to-hand assaults is mainly due to the fact that Japan¡¯s industrial base is more inadequate than superior.

    The Chinese army generally lacks artillery, and even lacks sufficient machine guns and ammunition. In defense, it mainly relies on slower-firing rifles. Therefore, the firepower that the Chinese defense line can project to the attacker is far inferior to the level that the European army could achieve in World War I.

    At the same time, due to the lack of systematic mobilization preparations in China, the physical fitness and technical and tactical level of the young people who joined the army after the war were at a very low level. The Japanese army could outnumber ten in hand-to-hand combat.

    Moreover, on the frontal battlefield, the Chinese army's defense line lacked depth, and the organization and discipline of the troops were very poor. After the Japanese detachment broke through the defense line, under the command of an experienced sergeant, it carried out side attacks and attacks on the surrounding Chinese defense lines after breaking through.  A rolling attack is likely to lead to a complete collapse of the Chinese army.

    It is precisely because of this that the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield encouraged the infantry troops to launch hand-to-hand assaults on the Chinese defense lines. Many people even believed that as long as they broke into the front-line trenches of the Chinese army, more than half of the battle would be won.

    Long Linghui smiled coldly, other troops may be like this, but the 61st Army is different. They lack neither equipment nor ammunition. The little devil is obviously here to kill people when he charges like this.

    In view of this, Long Linghui said loudly: "Order the machine gun positions on the left and right sides to be set up for me and prepare to fire!"

    "yes!"
