Chapter Twelve: All-Out Attack

Under the dark night, more than 600 suicide squadrons led by General Zhao Dengyu and slowly touched the hill behind the Japanese artillery positions under the guidance of the night.

Since the Japanese's muzzle was diagonally facing the hill and shelling towards Xifengkou, the soldiers of the Big Sword Team were located at the rear left of the Japanese. The Japanese's defense center was on the front, and the right wing was an open area. The Japanese deployed nearly two squads of troops and a light machine gun, and on the left was a hill, with only four sentries deployed, walking back and forth on the hill and patrolling.

As for the back, although it was also a hilly area, it was almost the same as the left side. Except for a few sentries, there were almost no troops deployed. Moreover, the Japanese corps command was right behind its position.

In this way, nearly two squads of the Japanese have deployed their troops on the front, which is facing the direction of Xifengkou. There is a heavy machine gun and three crooked light machine guns. However, this crooked hand is slightly stronger than a rifle. The one that can really pose a threat to the enemy is the Type 92 heavy machine gun. This heavy machine gun was only officially equipped with the Japanese Army last year and is the first new heavy machine gun to be studied by the Japanese army.

The Silent Hand, also known as Taisho 11th Stage, was established and equipped with the Japanese Army as early as 1922. Now it has served in the Japanese army for eleven years. However, after the September 18th Incident, the Silent Hand had too many faults and could not effectively provide firepower support to the infantry.

Therefore, some people in the Japanese army have begun to call for the study of a new light machine gun to replace the "unsuccessful" machine gun on the battlefield. However, the next light machine gun developed by the Japanese army - the Type 96 light machine gun, commonly known as the Type 96 light machine gun, will not be officially equipped until three years later, 1936. (Detailed information about the Type 96 light machine gun, in the future Battle of Shanghai, Qiufeng will give you a detailed description and get back to the topic)

The self-defense infantry squadron to which the Japanese artillery corps belongs is not equipped with heavy machine guns. This new heavy machine gun is because Lai Iwanjiro himself asked Suzuki Mitsuto to come.

You should know that the Type 92 heavy machine gun has just been officially put into service for less than a year, and not many are produced. It is mainly equipped with infantry combat troops of various divisions. For example, artillery units generally do not have to go to the front line to fight, and the safety factor is high, so its subordinate self-defense troops are generally equipped with light machine guns and rifles.

This time, the Japanese's light and heavy machine guns were destined to lose their effect. Their enemies did not come from the front, but from the hill on the back of the left.

General Zhao Dengyu and his suicide squad members had just arrived in the dead grass below the hill, and they had already seen four Japanese sentries on the hill.

General Zhao Dengyu observed the situation and confirmed that there were only four Japanese sentries. After turning around and saying to Zhang Xinghan and others, "Zhang Xinghan, Hou Wanshan, Maozi, Zhao Heita, you go up quietly!" Before he finished speaking, General Zhao Dengyu made a move to wipe his neck.

"Yes!" Zhang Xinghan and others nodded in understanding, and then they touched the hill like ghosts.

Since there were grass and rocks behind the hills, the Japanese sentry almost didn't look here at all. Because the night was dark, they couldn't see anything at all.

Zhang Xinghan saw a Japanese soldier who was facing his back, jumped over and rushed forward quickly. He covered his mouth from behind with one hand, and slammed his chin with the other hand, and tugged it hard. With a click, the sound of bone breaking sounded.

The Japanese soldiers who had not yet come back to their senses softened like a pool of mud, and Zhang Xinghan gently put him down. At the same time, the Russians and Zhao Heita completed the task almost at the same time and cleanly solved the four Japanese sentries.

The four of them looked at each other and nodded. Zhang Xinghan then turned around and waved his hand to the underside of the hill. Zhao Heita put away two of the 38 rifles of the four Japanese soldiers.

Seeing this, General Zhao Dengyu immediately waved his hand and roared in a low voice: "Brothers, come with me!"

Six hundred warriors immediately stood up and followed General Zhao Dengyu to the hills quickly. The bomb droppers fired the grenades in their hands, and from a high point, throwing the grenades with green smoke and vigorously. For a moment, the grenades with Mars flew towards the Japanese artillery positions like locusts in the sky.

"Boom!" A violent explosion immediately sounded, and balls of hot fire flew away. Some Japanese guards were immediately blown away, and they screamed in pain.

Zhang Xinghan saw the machine gun position arranged at the forefront of the Japanese artillery position with the help of the flames. The Japanese there were shocked by the sudden explosion and were turning their guns and preparing to shoot at this side.

General Zhao Dengyu also saw this situation and immediately said sternly: "Hou Wanshan! Zhang Xinghan!"

"Yes!" Zhang Xinghan and the others agreed.

"Take two companies and kill the Japanese machine gun positions! The rest of the people, follow me to bomb the Japanese cannons! When they see the Japanese, they will kill them all, and no one will be left!" General Zhao Dengyu yelled hurriedly.

"Yes!" The situation was urgent, and the two of them did not hesitate at all. Hou Wanshan immediately turned around and waved his hand and said, "Brothers, follow me!"

"Kill!" The soldiers raised their big swords one after another, and rushed down the hill with a roar.

After rushing down the hill, the troops immediately divided into two groups, attacking the Japanese artillery positions, and rushing towards the Japanese machine gun positions.

At this time, the Japanese on the artillery position had already been in chaos and were suddenly attacked. Whether it was the Japanese in the garrison squadron or the artillery gang, they were all panicked and in chaos. The Japanese garrison squadron could not organize a decent defense at all. The reason was that their squadron leader was invited by the corps leader to have a drink in the evening. Now, they were drunk with the corps leader and the brigade captains of the artillery brigades, and were no longer awake.

The careless Japanese never expected that the Chinese army would appear here. When the members of the Big Sword Team waved their swords to kill them, the Japanese soldiers turned around and ran away in shock.

Artillery is no better than infantry. They are not good at fighting in close combat or fighting with hands and blades. In addition, they are unprepared and are simply a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

The whole situation was almost one-sided massacre. More than 20 Japanese infantrymen in the headquarters of the guard corps resisted weakly for a moment, and then were flooded by the big sword team that swarmed in like a tide.

More than a thousand Japanese artillery soldiers and logistics soldiers were like a group of sheep without any power to fight back. They were chased and killed by hundreds of officers and soldiers of the big sword team like wolves and tigers. From time to time, Japanese soldiers were cut off their heads by sharp big swords, and dirty blood was sprayed out. Blood mist was filled with the sky, and the smell of fishy smell soared into the sky.

After dealing with a group of stubborn Japanese infantry, the Russians rushed into the Japanese corps command center with a group of big sword team members who were red-eyed.

Looking at the Japanese officers who were sleeping like dead pigs in front of him, the illiterate Russians were too lazy to look at their military ranks carefully, and said without hesitation: "No one left!"

Then, several soldiers rushed up and slashed down with their swords. For a moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Lai Ionjiro and his subordinates went to see their Amaterasu in their sleep.

General Zhao Dengyu was progressing smoothly, and the resistance he encountered was almost minimal. Except for some soldiers who were wantonly massacring the unarmed Japanese artillery soldiers, General Zhao Dengyu personally led dozens of soldiers, carrying explosive bags and cluster grenades, and rushed to the Japanese artillery positions.

Looking at various cannons, General Zhao Dengyu immediately ordered: "Hurry up, prepare to explode the cannons! Pile all the shells under the cannons, and no cannon can be left for the little ghosts!"

Zhang Xinghan was in trouble. The Japanese's light and heavy machine gun had already turned around. At this time, he was frantically firing at the charging team of Big Swords, watching soldiers being shot from time to time.

Zhang Xinghan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and said anxiously: "Squad leader, fight the Japanese machine gunner! Hurry!"

"Okay!" Zhao Heita took down the two 38 rifles on his back and threw them to Zhang Xinghan. The two of them knelt on one knee and pulled the bolt skillfully and quickly. Zhang Xinghan aimed at the Japanese heavy machine gunner, and Zhao Heita also aimed at a light machine gunner who was shooting wildly.

The two of them pulled the trigger almost at the same time, and two 6.5mm 38 rifle bullets flew out, accurately hitting two Japanese machine gunners nearly 100 meters away.

The two machine guns that were roaring and spraying fire tongues just now suddenly became silent, especially the Type 92 heavy machine gun, which was powerful and had a fast firing speed. Without its threat, the members of the Big Sword Team rushed up quickly, and the swords were red and flesh flew everywhere, and they had a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese.

The combat effectiveness of seventy or eighty Japanese devils is still not weak, and fierce hand-to-hand combat is immediately staged.

Zhang Xinghan and Zhao Heita did not rush up this time, but hid behind and fired black guns. It has to be said that the Japanese 38 rifles are much easier to use than the old sleeves and Hanyang fabrics equipped by the 29th Army.

The ballistics are stable, the range is long, and the accuracy is very high, making it very easy to make. At least before the official service and equipment of the army were officially launched, this rifle is a good infantry weapon.

Fierce battles continue here, and the dense sound of gunfire and explosions have already alarmed the Japanese infantry not far away.

Less than three miles away from the Japanese artillery position, the 17th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese was stationed.

In the command of the 17th Infantry Corps, Colonel Sakai Saburo, who was sleeping in a robe, was awakened by the sudden explosion and quickly stood up and yelled: "Guard! Guard!"

A Japanese guard ran into the command center quickly and stood up and saluted: "Your Excellency the Corps Captain!"

"Where are you going to shoot a cannon?" Sakai Saburo asked anxiously.

"Report to your Excellency Colonel! The explosion seemed to be coming from the direction of the artillery position!" The Japanese soldiers replied in the northwest direction.

"Architecture of the Artillery Corps?" Sakai Saburo suddenly felt cold and stood up suddenly, and walked out of the command center quickly. The Japanese soldiers followed closely.

After walking out of the command center, Sakai Saburo almost ran into a man. Saburo Saburo was already impatient, but after being hit, he couldn't help but scold: "Haga! What's the point of working!"

After seeing the person clearly, I realized that it was his chief of staff, Grandpa Sakata. Saburo Sakai said with some dissatisfaction: "Sakata, what happened? You're so panicked!"

"Report to your Excellency Colonel! I just received an emergency call from the brigade commander. The artillery position was attacked by the Chinese army. The brigade commander ordered us to reinforce the artillery corps immediately!" Major Sakata hurriedly reported.

At this moment, there were a series of violent explosions coming from the direction of the artillery position. Sakai Saburo and others looked up and saw that several huge groups of fires in the direction of the artillery position had risen into the sky, and the scarlet fires illuminated several miles in a radius. The explosion sounded even more.

Hearing the explosion and looking at the huge fire balls rising into the sky, Sakai Saburo's mouth began to twitch violently, and he almost roared: "Order, the First Brigade, the Second Brigade, gather immediately! Support the artillery corps! Hurry up!"

"Hayi!" Major Sakata responded suddenly with his head down, and then he wanted to turn around and leave.

At this moment, deafening shouts came from their front, namely the direction of Heights 1 and 2.

In less than a moment, a second lieutenant officer hurriedly ran over and reported: "Old Captain, it's not good. The main force of the Chinese army at Xifengkou is coming out and is launching a fierce attack on the frontiers of the Imperial Army. The Third Battalion requests support!"

"Bagaya Road!" Sakai Saburo was almost crazy when he heard this, and gritted his teeth and roared: "Order the First Battalion to support the artillery positions, and the Second Battalion to fight against the Chinese army! Kill the Gaga! All are dead! "

"Hay!" Major Sakata and the lieutenant suddenly lowered their heads at the same time, and then turned around and left quickly.
