Chapter 306
The organization of the Engineering Corps is much more streamlined than the other three regiments. The company has no 60 light mortars at the platoon level, and the battalion level does not have 81 meter and heavy machine gun companies, not to mention the regiment.
Although it is far from the main force in terms of heavy weapons, Garland, M3 submachine gun and mg3 general machine gun are still the main ones in individual weapons. The company and platoon units use a large number of Bazuka bazooka to make up for the shortcomings in heavy firepower.
"Rare! Kill all the Japanese!"
In the charge team, the tall and thin figure took the lead, so excited that his face turned red, and even his voice was hoarse.
Those who are generals should set an example as a flag. This is the most impressive sentence he heard from Fang Jingyao.
Today's battle is the first battle of the Engineer Corps, and it is also the first battle to lead troops in person. It is also his most important opportunity to prove himself.
In fact, Ayi was always uneasy before the fight started. The weather at the end of August should have been hot, but his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. Maybe he was afraid or worried, but more of it was the turbulent heart before the war.
But once the charge began, it seemed that the fear disappeared, and with the surging blood, the only idea of killing the enemy was left in my eyes.
The soldiers of the Engineering Corps kept in mind the training standards on weekdays and rushed into the positions that were plowed by artillery fire.
After panic, the Japanese hurriedly began to fight back. The machine gunners and cannons greeted each other desperately, but their resistance became increasingly difficult in the face of the large number of engineer soldiers with powerful firepower.
Although most of the soldiers under Ayi were recruits, their mentality at this moment was completely different from that of their opponents, especially when the deputy regiment commander personally led the team to charge.
They are soldiers of the Third Honorary Division, and they are the troops that many Japanese devils in western Yunnan who would exclaim "butchers" after seeing it. This 165th Regiment with weak combat experience happened to be their whetstone!
"Da da da da da da..."
"Puff! Swhoo... Swhoo... Swhoo... Swhoo..."
Ayi rushed into a trench in the rain of bullets, and at this moment, many soldiers were still here to avoid the enemy's machine guns.
One of the few veterans in the 165th Regiment set up several machine guns and began to fire in front of the formation. Several clusters of dense projectiles ejected from the fire temporarily blocked a depression in front.
The bullets hit the soil and made a thud, and the condescending shooting made the soldiers unable to raise their heads.
"Your grandma!"
"Puff!"
A soldier wanted to set up a machine gun to fight back, but as soon as he emerged, he was covered by the Japanese firepower. The bullet hit his neck and head. The soldier died on the spot.
"Zhao Kezi!"
"Damn it, hold the machine gun down!"
"Deputy Commander...what should we do?"
"Hu...hu..." A Yi leaned against the wall of the earth, gasping heavily, his expression slightly nervous, and his old habit began to be dealt with again.
Calm down! Be sure to be calm!
Everyone was watching. If he was a coward this time, the god would not be able to help him.
What should I do next? What would he do if the attendant was here?
At this moment, Ayi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm his mind. He quickly recalled the tactical guidance that Liao Mingyu and Fang Jingyao had instilled in him during training.
"The machine gun team goes to the flank to restrain the shooting. Don't rush the others first, stay in the trenches and wait for an opportunity to move. When the bazooka team comes up, we will fire together. Do you know?"
"yes!"
Hearing the command from the commander, the soldiers present also had a backbone and began to act according to the orders.
The gunfire sounds around him became increasingly dense. The Japanese gradually stabilized their minds under the suppression of the veterans, and fierce flames continued to emerge from the positions.
Although with his bloody courage, more and more engineer soldiers rushed up, their weaknesses of lack of attack experience gradually emerged. In addition, there was no infantry support artillery fire, even if the individual soldiers' firepower was stronger than the Japanese, it was difficult to break through the defense line.
When the Japanese stabilized their positions, the two sides actually fought a tug-of-war within the range of forty or fifty meters. For a moment, neither of them could do anything to each other.
The two groups of people were too close, and the artillery battalion of the Second Regiment behind did not dare to open fire at this time, for fear of injuring their own soldiers by chance. They could only vent the shells to the Japanese artillery positions, with the purpose of preventing the other party from attacking the front.
At this moment, the two rocket launchers finally arrived in front of the formation, and the soldiers immediately started to load ammunition without saying a word.
Each company of the Engineering Corps is equipped with 3 to 5 Babasque launchers. Although it cannot support it at a long distance, the power of Bazuka is a nightmare that no firepower point or simple fortress can resist when it has advanced to the enemy.
"The Bazooka team is ready, and the others have firepower to cover! Fight!"
Ayi shouted loudly at the top of his lungs, raising the rifle in his hand.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...!"
"Bang!Bang!Bang!"
The sudden burst of powerful firepower forced the Japanese to lower their heads and avoid them in a hurry.
Using this gap, seven or eight Bazukas have been loaded and all the muzzles are aimed at the front.
"Swish...swish...swish..."
Several rockets dragged the white smoke tail and shot mercilessly at the Japanese firepower points. In an instant, red light burst into full bloom, and the huge explosion power knocked the Japanese behind the sandbag into pieces.
"rush!"
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing were deafening, and there was no need to say much at this moment. The soldiers jumped out of the trenches and shouted forward to kill.
The atmosphere on the battlefield was ignited instantly, and this surging moment deeply infected Ayi. He mustered up the courage to pick up his pistol and follow the attacking team shouted and charged forward.
The Japanese could no longer withstand the tsunami-like attacking team and began to withdraw from their positions and retreat. The veterans could still raise their guns and retreat in an orderly manner while retreating, but the new recruits could not control so much.
They ran back desperately, and some even threw away their guns, only to regret that their parents gave them less legs.
The veteran tried to stabilize the alternate retreat line, but was rushed to chaos by these new recruits. In a rage, the two captains killed several people in a row, but this could not stop the spread of the defeat.
Finally, after losing hundreds of people, the 165th Regiment retreated, and the position was once again taken back by the Third Division.
"Huh... Finally, I finally defeated them, hehe..."
Ayi stood in the position and smiled foolishly, looking at the fleeing Japanese silently, and he felt relieved.
Today, he is no longer cowardly, he finally proves himself and becomes what he has always wanted to become.
I, Lin Yi, did it!
"Deputy Commander, the division headquarters urgently called, and you want to reply in person immediately." A communication soldier came to interrupt his contemplation.
Chapter completed!
