Chapter 8 Blood-colored wire mesh

"Be careful to hide, wait until the enemy arrives at the predetermined location, and follow the orders to shoot!" The frontline commanders shouted loudly, reminding the soldiers who were ready to shoot one by one. The Iron Blood Army will definitely engage in a defensive battle for the first time, many of which are new recruits.

The Japanese soldiers running were originally trying to move forward, but when they saw that they had been marching for 10 or 20 meters, they had not received any blockade from the enemy. They all made great strides and rushed to more than ten meters away from the trench in a blink of an eye. However, bullets from the Iron Blood Army garrison troops began to pour in.

"Fight..." The commanders ordered hundreds of rifles and several machine guns to fire instantly.

"Da da da da...pa..."

"Ah...ah..." Dozens of Japanese soldiers fell down instantly, and the Japanese soldiers behind them were all hunched here and advancing towards the rain of bullets.

"Catch..." Seeing that the enemy was still advancing, the commanders shouted loudly, and soldiers holding rifles in their hands were lying in the trenches and began to shoot continuously.

The Japanese army lost one or two hundred men less than ten meters away. After all, although the formation was not too dense, there were also many bullets fired, and more Japanese troops had already come to the barbed wire.

Under the jade-like bullet, they had no time to think about it and just wanted to quickly pass through the place. They all thought of their own ways. Some started climbing directly, while others wanted to clear the gap between the wire mesh and drill through. It must be that Deng Sen did not have enough steel here, and the wire mesh was only divided into seven or eight layers, with a gap of 10 to 20 cm in the middle of each layer.

"Aim at the Japanese troops beside the barbed wire and shoot me!" The commanders knew that in this case, they would not block the soldiers behind the other side, but instead fired the Japanese troops who were climbing now.

"Baopa..." The crisp sound of the rifle was heard, and the Japanese troops who were climbing were shot and fell down. Some were even hooked by hooks on the barbed wire mesh. Heart-wrenching screams suddenly rang out.

"Run..." But this was not enough to make the Japanese army scared. They gathered more and more, and some even climbed on the bodies of their companions.

Su Yihang, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the First Regiment, lay on the edge of the trenches and fired. After firing a shot, he waved his hand and the messenger beside him ran over quickly.

"Order three heavy machine guns to carry out three-component strafing on the densely prepared enemy areas. I don't want to stop the machine gun." Seeing that the number of Japanese troops gathered on the barbed wire mesh, the enemy only chose a 100-meter-front place in front of the Third Battalion as the assault point. The firepower of the third battalion could not achieve the suppression effect at all. Some Japanese troops even rushed over the barbed wire mesh, but were already killed. At this time, at least six or seven hundred people had gathered on the edge of the barbed wire mesh of 100 meters. They used bayonets to scrape off the barbed wire mesh barbs, and then helped each other to climb.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the messenger turned around and whispered to the other two companions behind him. The three of them went to the base machine gun squad position one after another.

"The battalion commander ordered that all machine guns be aimed at the enemy's gathering areas and fired quickly, and did not want the sound of the machine gun to disappear."

"I understand!" The soldiers of the machine gun squad turned their guns at this time, turning to the enemy troops who were climbing like candied haws, or were suppressing their own firepower next to the barbed wire.

"beat……"

"Dadadada..." The first heavy machine gun started to fire, followed by the second and third, and the three heavy machine guns fired at three different positions, instantly forming a cross firepower and rushing fiercely at the Japanese army.

"Ah...ah..." The Japanese soldiers trembled when they heard such dense sounds of machine guns. Then the Japanese soldiers fell and fell as if they were hit by an invisible wall.

"Bastard, withdraw the people and organize people to cut off the damn barbed wire me!" Sasaki held the telescope and saw clearly that his soldiers fell down in front of the barbed wire me as if they were slaughtered. Now he understood the role of this barbed wire mesh. This was simply the devil's idea. Using the barbed wire mesh as a barrier, forcing the enemy to either conduct assaults or retreat under the bullets. As long as he wanted to complete the tactical task, he had to pass it over. If he had to pass it over, he had to climb. The climbing soldiers were like prisoners without resistance, where they became the target of the other party.

After another strafing, the Japanese army lost hundreds of people, and they all lost their armor to retreat, leaving behind a body in front of the barbed wire. At the same time, the Japanese engineers divided into small groups and crawled forward on the ground.

"Battery Commander, the Japanese army wants to destroy the barbed wire." The sharp-eyed Iron Blood Army observed the troops pointed forward. Su Yihang then looked carefully. Su Yihang saw that there was indeed a figure squirming on the grass.

"Notify all soldiers that they will shoot immediately as long as they are found to destroy the barbed wire." There is no need to say much about the importance of barbed wire. As long as the Japanese army breaks through the barbed wire, it will probably not take long to rush to the trenches. The Iron-blooded soldiers, who are mainly recruits and have poor shooting, will definitely be at a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat.

All soldiers aimed their rifles ahead, waiting for the enemy to emerge and then shoot.

There were about 200 Japanese engineers. They advanced little by little on the grass. In less than a minute, they had already arrived at the edge of the barbed wire. They saw that the barbed wire at the bottom was only ten centimeters from the ground. Then the higher the gap, the bigger the gap. In this era, the equipment used to deal with barbed wire was not available at all. There was no one producing such tiger-mouthed engineer clamps. The main task of the Japanese engineer team this time was to use more than a dozen axes collected urgently, but the axes were heavy and they could only stand up to exert their strength.

"Ah...hey..." A Japanese soldier next to the barbed wire stood up suddenly, then raised his axe and pointed it at the wire that looked as thick as a little finger.

"Bang..." The sound of the barbed wire shaking back and forth surprised the Japanese engineer that the wire had not broken, but just cut out a mark, but it would probably be broken if you look at it a few more times.

"Bang..." Unfortunately, he would not have another chance. Three rifles aimed at him at the same time, and then fired bullets, two of which hit him. The Japanese army just groaned and fell to the ground, with an axe falling beside him.

"Hurry..." The Japanese army used hundreds of engineers because they knew that one engineer could not complete this task at all. When the first Japanese army was shot and died, the Japanese squad leader behind sent another Japanese engineer.

"Ahhh..." The engineer knew that he was still shot dead when he walked out, but his thoughts of being loyal to the Japanese Emperor and the empire had long trained them into machines.

"Fight..." The Japanese army picked up the iron-blooded army opposite the axe and fired again. The Japanese soldier had died before he had time to chop.

"Go again..." Although one person was killed here, the Japanese squad leader was unmoved and continued to attack.

In this way, a Japanese soldier slashed and slashed again and again with the bullets of the Iron Blood Army. Even though hundreds of people were spent, he only cut off half of the wire mesh. Some of the wires above were cut off, forming a breakthrough of about five meters. However, the wire under the fault still existed, but the height was only seventy or eighty centimeters.

"Run... Emperor has been around for thousands of years..." Seeing the appearance of faults, and the height of the barbed wire mesh was less than one meter, the Japanese army once again assembled a large number of troops to break through. A total of 2,000 people were organized, with the fault as the main attack, and broke through the area within 200 meters. At the same time, engineers followed and destroyed the barbed wire mesh defense of the Iron Blood Army during the battle.

"Swoosh, give it to..." The Japanese commander held up his command knife and led the charge first, with the target being the place where the axe was broken.

"Pay attention to defense, pay attention to defense, and aim all heavy machine guns at the breakthrough." The breakthrough has now become the focus of the Iron Blood Army's defense.

"Fight..." The Japanese army quickly charged to the range. The Iron Blood Army did not wait until the enemy was close to forty meters before and started to design it again and again within a range of fifty meters. There were only waves of metal sounds of pulling gun bolts and constant shooting sounds from the trenches. The Japanese soldiers also fell one after another. However, the number of enemies was large, with a total of two thousand people spreading within a range of two hundred meters. There were less than four or five hundred soldiers who could shoot directly in the two battalions, which means that only half of the soldiers involved in the battle in each battalion. Even if they fired at a distance of tens of meters, they could not block the rapid assault of two thousand people at a distance of tens of meters.

"Hurry up, the Japanese army has rushed to the broken barbed wire, heavy machine guns are fired, fire..." Seeing the groups of Japanese troops charging towards the fractured area less than five meters, Su Yihang immediately ordered heavy machine gunners who had been ready to fire, and the other two battalions around him also used two heavy machine guns close to counterattack on the enemy's firepower suppression.

"Roar..." The breakthrough point was right in front of him. The Japanese army seemed to see the scene where they rushed through the breakthrough point and then rushed into the Iron Blood Army position like a wolf and a tiger to destroy the Iron Blood Army one by one. They all had a very high morale, but they didn't know how dense it would be to accommodate more than a thousand people to pass by, and I'm afraid the Iron Blood Army would not have to aim at them at all.

"Dadadadada...daidababa..." Because of the main attack of the Japanese army, almost all the bullets rushed to the only five meters away. For a moment, the Japanese army, who were still fantasizing about how to massacre the Chinese army, were shot one after another, and the one in front fell on the barbed wire. The corpses of soldiers behind the barbed wire were even as high as those of barbed wire. The Japanese soldiers rushed over with their companions' bodies.

"Fight, fight... don't stop..." The war became more and more intense. The soldiers in the front row fired the bullets in their gun shuttle, and then quickly retreated. The soldiers who had already prepared behind them were put on and started shooting again.

"Run..." The corpse of his companion was on his feet. The military boots had already been stained with the blood of his own soldiers, but they were not afraid. In less than five minutes, they had rushed over more than 300 people and began to lie on the ground and shoot at the Iron Blood Army. For a time, the Iron Blood Army also suffered continuous casualties.

"Yaosu... send two squadrons to participate in the attack, expand the breakthrough, and rush into the opponent's trenches in one fell swoop!" Seeing that his soldiers had already rushed through the barbed wire and shot at the other side, Sasaki smiled and increased his troops again. Another 1,500 Japanese soldiers shouted "Long live the emperor and rushed forward, and killed them. Because the Iron Blood Army had focused all their attention on the Japanese army at the breakout point, the Japanese army in other places took the opportunity to destroy the barbed wire. If it was during World War II, this kind of combat method would never be successful. Unfortunately, Deng Sen only knew the role of barbed wire and did not know how to use it in combat. The real barbed wire defense was to prevent the enemy in every place. As long as the Iron Blood Army went from officers to soldiers, they turned their guns one after another, so that the Japanese army in other places could take advantage of it.

"Battery Commander, no! Our soldiers are all new recruits, and hundreds of them will be killed in the battle just in this moment. If this continues, more and more enemies will be more and more casualties of our new recruits will become greater and greater!" During the battle, the Iron Blood Army soldiers stood up inadvertently during the shooting process, holding rifles to find the target, so the losses are considerable, almost equivalent to the Japanese army on the attacking side.

"Use all those things for me, let the front troops block it, and let the Japanese army gather as much as possible!" Seeing that the number of people gradually increased, and more and more Japanese troops gathered in the rear, Guo Huai was not as anxious as the commander in front, as he was the commander in front. He had prepared a big gift for the Japanese army, that is, the land buns behind the trenches were not.
