Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 253 The sound of horse hoofbeats (3)

At a distance of twenty meters, the lethality of submachine guns is astonishing. Six to seven hundred submachine guns fired at such a close distance. For the Japanese troops in this squadron, the blow they suffered was devastating. The flat grassland was unobstructed.

, became a slaughterhouse for the Japanese.

The remaining sixty or so Japanese troops were pinned to the ground by intensive firepower. They could only use the corpses of their companions as temporary bunkers. Not to mention using heavy firepower to counterattack, as long as they raised their heads a little higher, they would be immediately destroyed.

Beat the watermelon to pieces.

Lying tightly on the ground, listening to the whistling bullets entering the bodies of the dead comrades, the sound of bullets entering the body right in front of me, the blood splashing from time to time, the bullets screaming past above my head, the remaining Japanese soldiers,

Almost had a nervous breakdown.

Wang Ying and the Japanese squadron leader who were riding in the middle of the brigade heard the indistinguishable number of shots coming from the front and hurriedly rolled off their saddles. The Japanese squadron leader knew that his squadron was finished, so he howled and commanded to follow behind.

The artillery squad immediately set up artillery positions and launched an artillery bombardment against the Chinese army.

The well-trained Japanese soldiers immediately set up four mortars on the spot. The first row of shells roared and landed at the front of the guard brigade's position. The exploded soil splashed all over the soldiers.

The Japanese army's good luck ended here. The ** Division's temporary artillery team, which had captured the Japanese artillery position, immediately responded with a salvo of three rounds, dozens of mortar shells, roaring past the soldiers of the guard brigade.

Above their heads, the Japanese army's only four mortars were shrouded in smoke.

After the smoke cleared, the Japanese artillery position contained four mortars that were already in parts, surrounded by the messy corpses of Japanese soldiers. The Japanese squadron leader who directed the artillery attack was unlucky enough to be cut off by the roaring shrapnel.

brain.

Until his death, he still didn't understand how the Chinese army suddenly appeared. Shan Hu trained the soldiers of the guard brigade to be masters of soil work. They dug fortifications and bunkers on the hills.

Within a short period of time, it was transported to a distant place. The turf was completely preserved and cleverly covered on the fortifications. The soldiers were hidden underneath. From a distance, there was no sign of man-made damage at all.

Wang Ying rolled off his horse and fell to the ground. He was immediately supported by several bodyguards and ran to a bush. He just took a breath in shock. The place where he just dismounted was covered by dense shells and exploded with dust.

Among the flowers, he saw with his own eyes the corpses of the imperial soldiers being thrown high into the sky, and a rain of blood burst into the air.

The squadron leader of the Imperial Army must have been doomed. Wang Ying also wondered why he suddenly encountered the troops of the 29th Army. In his memory, the equipment of the 29th Army was not so sophisticated. Listening to the gunshots in front,

Those were all automatic firearms firing volleys.

He suddenly thought about chasing the brothers of the 29th Army Cavalry, and trembled fiercely. Looking at the current situation, it must be a premeditated action by the other party. The cavalry team he had worked so hard to manage was in danger, and he was afraid that he would have to explain the situation.

this.

It was too far to care, so it was better to solve the problem at hand. Only then did Wang Ying have the intention to take a look at his troops. When the gunshots in front rang out, the first reaction of these bandits was to immediately lie down and look for the nearest place where they could hide.

He dug hard into the earth with his bayonet and soon dug a simple bunker. He immediately stretched out his gun and started to fight back at the enemy.

Seeing that the brothers were panicking and not panicking, Wang Ying felt a lot more at ease when fighting against the 29th Army. Based on his judgment, the 29th Army that ambushed him would not have too many troops. Although

The sound of gunfire is intensive, that's because of the use of automatic firearms. If you want to eat all my men in one bite, I'm afraid you, Song Zheyuan, don't have such good teeth.

This is Wang Ying's experience gained through many years of actual combat. In the process of fighting with other bandits and fighting with the 29th Army, it played a big role. It is especially suitable when suddenly encountering an ambush in the wild. Wang Ying is quite proud of it.

Call this the Hedgehog Formation.

From Tang Qiuli's point of view, bandits were lying around in twos and threes everywhere. At first glance, they looked chaotic. However, upon closer inspection, there were some clues. Three or five bandits formed a group to form a temporary fighting team. The few in front were

They kept firing at the guard brigade's position.

The few at the back were responsible for monitoring the surrounding movements to prevent another ambush. The nearby combat teams formed a large defensive circle and could support each other with firepower. Tang Qiuli nodded secretly.

Although these bandits are not as good as their own troops and lack formal training, they have their own set of effective combat methods, which may have been discovered through many bloody battles or fierce battles between bandits.

Way.

This bandit's defense method is meticulous and meticulous. No matter which direction the attacking force attacks from, it cannot escape the eyes of the bandits who are monitoring the surroundings and will be immediately counterattacked. This is equivalent to the attacking force having to clear out temporary

Although the bandits were all eliminated in the end, their own casualties were not small.

Especially compared to the 29th Army, which lacks heavy weapons, the level of casualties in dealing with such bandits can be imagined. Wang Ying has been able to control the two provinces of Chahar and Rehe for many years, but he is not unworthy of his reputation and has his own tricks.

Unfortunately, the person we met today was Tang Qiuli. He asked the correspondent to convey the order to deal with the remaining Japanese troops on the front line as soon as possible. Mortars and heavy machine guns were moved forward to the guard brigade's fortifications.

By the time the correspondent reached the front, the battle was over. The Japanese soldiers lying on the ground unable to lift their heads were still struggling to their death. Under the command of a sergeant, a desperate charge was launched. More than sixty Japanese soldiers

Howling, he jumped up from the ground, with his bayonet shining brightly, and rushed towards the guard brigade's position.

The counterattack before death had no effect. The charging Japanese soldiers were beaten into a sieve by the dense bullets of submachine guns. There were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who charged very fast. Although they were hit by dozens of bullets, they were still shaken.

He staggered into the fortifications and stabbed the bayonet directly into the soil.

This startled the soldiers of the guard brigade. Fortunately, they reacted quickly and dodged in time to avoid the bayonet thrust into their chests. Otherwise, the guard brigade would have been stabbed to death by the dead Japanese soldiers just because of their appearance.

His glorious record made him famous as a military master. I wonder what Shan Hu thinks.

The soldiers of the guard brigade were so angry that they fired several shots at the corpse of the Japanese. They were afraid that these crazy guys would fake the corpse. Thinking about it, they were frightened. If they hadn't used submachine guns, they wouldn't have dared to fight like this.

It is pitiful to say that a squadron of more than 160 Japanese troops were wiped out without firing a single shot. If they had not personally experienced this battle, I am afraid no one would believe the tenacity and ferocity of the Japanese troops.

In the history of World War II, there are many names left.

After the mortars and heavy machine guns were transferred to the guard brigade's fortifications, Tang Qiuli also left the hidden unit. The captain of the special guard unit could not dissuade him no matter what, so he had to arrange for more than twenty soldiers of the special guard to form around him.

He built a human bunker, carefully guarded the division commander, and arrived at the forward position.

The bandits' bullets whizzed past the top of their heads from time to time, but the distance was too far and had no lethality at all. The soldiers of the guard did not even bother to raise their eyelids.

More than twenty mortars and a dozen heavy machine guns, under the command of Tang Qiuli, cleared the bandit's hedgehog formation one by one from far to near.

At such a long distance and from a high position, all the targets were displayed in front of us. Mortars and heavy machine guns gave full play to their advantages. The temporary bunkers dug by the bandits were hit by heavy machine gun bullets, like whips made of woven metal.

The turf turned up and grass clippings flew everywhere, and then penetrated the thin soil layer and penetrated into the bandit's body.

The corpses of the bandits hit by the powerful bullets of the heavy machine guns were convulsing and beating continuously, and the human tissues and minced meat were so stimulated that the bandits who were lucky enough to survive were almost suffocated. They left their life-saving bunkers one after another and fired the bullets.

He was hiding in front of him.

Mortars are simpler. Three or five bandits make a temporary bunker, and a shell is hoisted over it. The bunker is deep enough and safer, but there is no living life anymore. The bandit's body is thrown onto the explosion point.

In mid-air, it was torn apart by shrapnel, and when it fell to the ground, it was already a broken body.

Tang Qiuli's tactics of clearing out point by point achieved miraculous results. The hedgehog formation that Wang Ying was proud of collapsed. The scattered bandits received a fatal blow. In order to avoid being hit by heavy machine gun bullets and mortar shells,

Destiny, being oppressed, instinctively moved closer together, gradually squeezing into a pile in the middle of the grassland.

Wang Ying was hiding in the bushes, his eyes almost dripping with blood. Every shell fired took away the lives of several of his men. Every piece of turf was turned up and dust was flying. The men in that place were no longer complete corpses.

Seeing that the capital he had accumulated for many years was gradually being wiped out, Wang Ying shivered with heartache. This was the capital he relied on to control the Hebei area. If he had a gun, he would be a grass-headed king. Wang Ying knew very well that for himself,

Over the years, the bandits have owed so much blood debt and made so many enemies.

I have lost count of the number of sporadic killings. I have done more than a dozen of them just to massacre an entire village. This does not include the number of sporadic killings that I have killed after following the Japanese and cooperating with the Japanese.

Northeastern Anti-Union Fighters.

During the battle with the 29th Army, the captured prisoners were either beheaded, buried alive or lit with sky lanterns, and none of them survived.

Without man's gun, he is just a toothless tiger. He can't survive in the Rechaji area for a day. Those enemies, instead of eating him alive, defect to the Japanese. The Japanese are so easy to talk to. Some people have guns.

You are a guest, and the white ocean is there for you. No one is without a gun. In the eyes of the Japanese, you are nothing, worse than a wild dog.

After a period of targeted clearing, more than a thousand corpses of bandits were left on the grassland below the hills. The flowing blood dyed the green grass red. Tang Qiuli had no interest in showing mercy to these habitual bandits who were full of evil.

Especially the bandits who had taken refuge with the Japanese, causing harm to their compatriots, were more ruthless than the Japanese, and eradicating them was the only way Tang Qiuli could deal with such bandits.

The time has come for the ambush troops to launch a charge.
