The War of Resistance

The flares were still shining brightly above our heads, but this was already the second one fired by the Japanese army.

Before the action, who would have thought that the Japanese army had already been prepared, and that the tactics that Shang Zhen and the others used to attack the east and attack the west or surround Wei and rescue Zhao did not work!

At this time, under the light of the illumination bomb, the Japanese army shifted their light and heavy firepower to mop up the intrusion of the Chinese soldiers, whose strength they could not figure out now, and at the same time used grenades to hit the top of the mountain.

But this was not over yet. Immediately afterwards, another twenty or thirty Japanese soldiers bent down and ran down the mountain with guns in hand.

It cannot be said that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was not good. The reason why they did not capture this mountain peak was because it was already dusk at that time. The Japanese army had superior firepower and military strength, so there was no need to increase casualties.

Another reason is that the terrain around this mountain is also open, and there are few places for people to hide. The Japanese army is a living target when they come up, but there are sharpshooters of the Chinese army on the mountain.

However, it is another matter if there are obviously only a few Chinese soldiers on the mountain to break out. The Japanese army cannot ignore it, otherwise where is the dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army?

Given that the surrounding area was empty, the bushes at the foot of the mountain became the best choice for the Japanese troops to hide.

When hot weapons have reached this stage, there are few tactics of using human waves anymore.

In the middle of the last century, when there were no bolt-action rifles, European armies would beat drums and instruments, and then the soldiers would line up and move forward.

After entering the shooting range of the defenders, the defenders would use their matchlocks to fire and fire, and clusters of white gunpowder smoke would emit from the position.

Although people on the attacking side were constantly being shot, the attacking soldiers continued to move without stopping as the drumbeat of the attack stopped.

This thing sounds like a bloody romance, but in fact, both the enemy and us understand that with their respective firepower at that time, only a few will be shot down, and the majority will be those who can fight together in the end.

There was no way, the matchlock gun at that time had such a shooting efficiency. If you wanted to fire another round, you had to reinstall the gunpowder and poke the purge into the gun, but that was incomparable with pushing and pulling the bolt of a manual rifle.

Later, when manual rifles appeared, that is, rifles that had to pull and push the bolt to fire, although the casualties were much higher, the human wave tactic was still an option.

What ultimately led the great powers to abandon the human wave tactic was the use of the Maxim heavy machine gun in World War I.

As we all know, the barrel of any machine gun will become hot and red if it fires too many bullets, and needs to be cooled down.

But at that time, the Maxim heavy machine gun was a water-cooled heavy machine gun.

Theoretically, as long as the water used to cool the barrel can be supplied, the bullets can be fired indefinitely!

Therefore, in a war, when one side actually sets up a heavy machine gun in the position, the other side's infantry charging up with rifles will become the target of being slaughtered.

As living organisms, there is no physical difference between humans and animals. The one who does not believe in evil swarms upward like a sea, while the other side fires the Maxim heavy machine gun, and the massacre occurs like this.

That’s how this “*** meat grinder” and that “*** flesh and blood mill” appeared.

At the end of the battle, the tragic scene in the open field in front of the defenders was abstract. It was an abstraction to say that it was a hell on earth, but the idiom "blood flow and rafting" invented by the ancient Chinese could barely describe it.

What is blood drifting? That means there is too much blood, just like a river or a sea can float a piece of wood like a paddle or oar. So do you think it is miserable or not?

As for the Chinese army also used the human sea tactic in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.

In this era where there are already aircraft, artillery, heavy machine guns and even poison gas bombs, one can only imagine the disastrous results of using the human sea tactic again.

Although it can be said that the national army is not afraid of death, it is also because China has been closed to the country for too long since the late Qing Dynasty, and even the military thinking of war has not kept up with the development of the times.

Of course, it can also be said the other way around. Although the Chinese army lags behind the Japanese army, our army still swears to fight the invaders to the end for the sake of the country and the nation!

This is the so-called rhetoric. There are two sides to a problem, it depends on which side you emphasize.

Well, the Japanese troops are coming towards that bush.

Of course they knew that their men had posted security posts in the bushes.

But just when they were still sixty or seventy meters away from the bushes, the sentry who saw them suddenly emerged from the bushes, and fired a shot towards the mountain with a rifle over his shoulder.

It should be said that the Japanese army saw it very clearly, although all they saw was the soldier's back.

But that soldier wore a camouflaged steel helmet on his head and was dressed in the khaki color of their Imperial Japanese soldiers. Who could it be if it wasn't the guard post they stayed at the foot of the mountain?

As for the guard post firing a shot at the mountain, that was their guess. The reason was of course that at this time, their grenade launchers at the bottom of the mountain were still firing grenades at the mountain, but the sound of the gunshot was masked by the explosion of the grenade. .

The Japanese soldiers continued to run forward, and saw their companion lowering his head, probably re-pushing the gun bolt.

Sure enough, after a moment, the companion exposed his upper body and fired another shot somewhere on the mountain!

No need to ask, this sentry who is his own team saw those soldiers, otherwise why would he keep firing at a certain place above?

It only took a while for the Japanese troops to rush into the bushes, and at this time their guard post retracted into the bushes.

Just when the Japanese army thought that their comrade was going to come out and shoot at the mountain again, the gun did not fire but they heard a sharp "crash" in the bushes in front.

The Japanese soldiers who happened to be able to see it through the gaps in the bushes stared wide-eyed at that time!

Because what he saw was a bundle of cluster grenades with at least six or seven Chinese-style wooden handle grenades bundled together flying over!

The Japanese soldier shouted "Wow", but before he could remind his companions that there were grenades, the bundle of grenades exploded.

Who knows if he heard the deafening explosion? He was directly blown away by the air wave generated by the explosion, and at the same time, several pieces of shrapnel passed through his body!

The explosive power of a cluster grenade is not comparable to that of a single grenade, not to mention that the bundle of grenades exploded just after it got into the bushes before it hit the ground, but it was a large air burst bomb!

Countless shrapnel flew upwards, diagonally upwards, horizontally, diagonally downwards, and downwards in the void. The nearby shrubs were destroyed as if they were hit by a tornado, while the branches and leaves of the farther shrubs flew out. On that day Under the illumination of the flares, it looked like it was raining!

So, is there any need to say what will happen to the Japanese troops who have entered or are about to enter the bush at this time?

At the same time, shrapnel hit the nearby rocks, making a "dang" or "clang" sound.

Just behind a big rock, the Japanese guard post was hiding behind with his neck drawn and his gun drawn.

Looking at his frightened look, how could you imagine that he was the one who threw the bundle of cluster grenades just now?

And when the explosion passed, the Japanese sentry ducked out from behind the stone and ran southward along the foot of the mountain. It was clearly Shang Zhen!

Finally I have time, hurry up and "pay off the debt"!
