Chapter 7 Grabbing the Beach
There is actually a reason why the Japanese army from North Korea did not find that the Chinese army landed in Cape Lunga.
One reason is that the Korean-born Japanese troops stationed in Cape Lunga can even be said to be that most Japanese troops know that the Americans will almost prepare fire before attacking, just like the attack launched by the US Marine Regiment in Cape Espeslan, and they will use ship guns to bombard them for a while. So the Korean-born Japanese troops stationed in Cape Lunga hide in tents or bunkers with confidence to hide in the rain... Anyway, the Americans will fire a cannon first when they come up, and it will be too late to prepare.
The other is because they are Japanese troops from the North Koreans and are engineers.
To put it nicely, this identity is Japanese engineers. To put it nicely, they are laborers, coolies, and cannon fodders. Usually, the Japanese don’t take them seriously at all, and they scold and beat them at every turn. If they commit a little, they will be severely punished or even executed by shooting. Therefore, these Japanese soldiers from the North Koreans themselves have resentment towards the Japanese. In addition, the fatigue of the day at the airport has made them miserable. At night, they will still have the intention to keep watch and duty seriously. Some Japanese soldiers from the North Koreans are still thinking... If the Americans come, they will come, and they will surrender at that time. The days of being prisoners may be better than those of such days without humans or ghosts.
But what they didn't expect was that this time they called the Chinese rather than the Americans.
Zhang Chi waved to the soldiers beside him, and the soldiers crawled out of the hidden place one by one and slowly crawled towards the enemy's defense line.
Because of the previous "test", the soldiers knew the location of the Japanese defense line with great pleasure, so they successfully touched the Japanese fortifications. The soldiers crawled in front cut off the barbed wire nets laid by the Japanese, and then touched off several mines... These mines were all suppressed and thunders. If they were tripping mines, it would be almost impossible to eliminate them in the dark.
It is much easier to press and send mines. When moving forward, you only need to use a military sting to carefully penetrate the road. If there are landmines, you can easily feel it... Of course, this also requires the soldiers' mine clearance experience.
From this point of view, we also know that the group of Japanese soldiers in front of us are not very vigilant. However, it seems that this is not the Japanese army. Because this is an island, especially near the beach, not only is there a lot of wind but also a lot of birds and various animals, but triple mines are easily triggered by animals.
But no matter what, the soldiers of the first battalion crawled in front of the Japanese fortifications. Both sides of the enemy and us could even hear the snoring of the Japanese army in front.
After pausing for a while, Zhang Chi ordered: "Take it!"
In an instant, the soldiers threw rows of grenades into the Japanese defense line. Almost at the same time, several flares also rose to the sky "rake", illuminating the entire battlefield as white as daylight.
At this time, the Japanese army in their sleep was awakened. Their first reaction was to look up at the flares in the sky habitually... This exposed their qualities, or it could be said that they lack combat experience. If the veteran encounters this situation, his first reaction is to use weapons to organize defense, because this almost means that there must be an enemy attack.
But in fact, even if they organize defense at this time, it is useless, because the Chinese Expeditionary Force is just a few meters in front of them, and has already put a bayonet on and pressed the bullets...
"Boom..." After a burst of grenade explosions, the soldiers yelled and jumped out of their hiding place to kill the Japanese army.
In this regard, the Chinese army has always been different from the US army. When charging, the Chinese army is accustomed to yelling, yelling, scolding or slogans. For example, the expeditionary army often shouts "Go home" on the battlefield as mentioned earlier.
This is somewhat incomprehensible to the US military. They do not understand the significance of making these noises during combat. Even American instructors will raise a series of disadvantages of such shouting, such as exposing their positions and even the strength of the troops, such as making the orders issued by the commanders unable to be effectively heard and executed, and such as being unfavorable to mutual communication and cooperation between friendly forces.
But what American instructors never understand is that although there are various unfavorable factors to make such shouts, they can inspire the morale of the soldiers and make them rush forward without hesitation, such as shouting "Go home"... That will make the soldiers feel that they are on the way home, because they are thinking about their family and their relatives in their hearts. Therefore, they can exert combat power that ordinary people cannot imagine.
In short, Americans believed in science more when they fought, and later they even engaged in computer simulation, etc. Chinese soldiers or many Asian countries have one commonality. That is, they also talk about "spirit", "will" and "courage".
Both of these two cannot tell who is right and who is wrong. For example, if the Americans use computer simulation to deduce, they will fail the Battle of Shangganling.
Although the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force have received American tactics training, they still maintain this combat habit... When the battle starts, they yell and rush forward, which can not only boost their courage and boost morale, but also make their opponents frightened.
Of course, if the opponent is a Japanese army, he will not be scared by this shout. The Japanese army will even scream more fiercely than the Expeditionary Army. So the next step is to confront the real kung fu.
But at this time the soldiers were not facing the real Japanese army, they were Korean engineers.
The Japanese army from the North Koreans, who were unconsciously prepared, were still sleeping just now. At this time, they suddenly saw an army roaring and appearing in front of them. They were grenades and bullets as soon as they came up. They were so scared that they lost their souls and ran away.
Perhaps it was because these Korean and Japanese soldiers were used to it, or they were too panic, that a considerable number of them grabbed not guns but engineer shovels when they ran away.
However, it was too late for the Japanese army to escape at this time. The soldiers followed closely behind and raised their guns to pull the trigger.
At this time, the benefits of the m1 semi-automatic rifle in the hands of the soldiers were fully reflected... If this is a bolt-pull rifle, you have to stop the bolt-pull when running a few steps, and after five bullets are fired, you have to get the bullets. However, the m1 rifle just runs and pulls the trigger, which makes the Japanese in front scream and fall down one by one. The capacity of the eight bullets allows the soldiers to shoot all the way, and they can catch up with the Japanese and stab them with bayonets when there is no bullet.
Then two Stuart tanks also drove up from the hidden place, and the anti-aircraft machine guns on them fired at the Japanese army fleeing in front... With a bean-like gunshot, the Japanese army fell down like rows of wooden stakes. Some of them were only injured, but were soon stabbed by the Chinese soldiers who followed closely.
