Chapter 942 Opening 1
The Japanese combat style is different from that of Britain and France. When the order to start fighting is issued, Britain and France must prepare fire for more than half an hour, and then the infantry charge. The Japanese greatly compressed the fire preparation time. After the attack order was issued, the first one of the Japanese was the engineers. Under the cover of night, a group of engineers quietly crawled out of the assembly area, and then advanced towards the first barbed wire from 100 meters to 150 meters away. More figures with white towels wrapped around their arms appeared behind the engineers.&1t;/p>
The Japanese have already had some understanding of German fortifications. The first and second barbed wire mesh should have no mines before. The Japanese planned to eliminate the minefield behind after the engineer solved the two barbed wire mesh, and finally raid. At this time, they were only about 20 meters away from the German position. It should be fine, right? Moreover, in order to avoid exposure, the Japanese army also avoided the German army's observation post! This plan is perfect, there is no reason to lose!&1t;/p>
The German barbed wire was the first time that the Japanese saw it. It was not just a few wooden piles with barbed wire. It was a circle of viper wires. Cutting it is not enough, and it must be destroyed and removed as much as possible. Otherwise, once you encounter it, the bigger the struggle is. There are still some cans hanging on the wire, and these things must be carefully removed. Otherwise, any sound will cause serious consequences on a quiet night.&1t;/p>
The Japanese engineers used vises and even used their hands to remove the barbed wire and the canned box on it. Even if they were pierced, they endured and persisted. Until they cleaned up all the things that might make noises and then began to pull the barbed wire to the side, they finally had a change!&1t;/p>
Under the moonlight, the top corps Yoshimura Taro saw a long cylinder suddenly jumping out of the soil! This thing exploded instantly after rising to about 3 meters of the air! A bright yellow fireball suddenly appeared in the night sky, and a steel storm formed by thousands of steel balls and shrapnels spilled from the air! A strike area with a diameter of more than 12 meters was formed on the ground. The shrapnel produced by this height explosion made people unable to avoid it. Whether standing, doing or lying down, they could not dodge. Even if there were individual obstacles, these shrapnels could fly over and tear the soldiers behind them into pieces! There was always a 4-digit shrapnel suitable for you!&1t;/p>
The sudden explosion reminded me of this! It was like a drop of water falling into a oil pan! The entire battlefield immediately changed from the tranquility a second ago to a hell full of noise and flames. Several flares rose swaying from the back of the German positions. After reaching the highest point, thousands of bright light balls as bright as candles slowly fell with the help of a parachute. The dazzling white light from the violently burning magnesium illuminated everything around it like daytime! At this time, most of the Japanese soldiers subconsciously stopped in place and covered their eyes.&1t;/p>
The roar of a machine gun like a tearing cloth resounded instantly throughout the battlefield. The machine guns hidden in the bunkers and bunkers began to tilt the firepower frantically at the exposed Japanese army. Bright red lines of fire were intertwined and frantically firing. The curved trajectories passed through the air and formed an elliptical bomb drop zone, indicating that the death ellipse began to sweep the infantry in front in steps and sequence.&1t;/p>
Although the Germans did not deploy mines in the outermost barbed wire area, they still need to hang some flares on the barbed wire mesh. I can only say that the Japanese army had never encountered such a lineup before. If it were a mere thunder explosion, it would not be too big. However, the flares and machine gun fire came up immediately, which made the Japanese a little unexpected. After all, it turned out that when fighting with the Russians, the other party was not so smart! The Japanese army's seemingly perfect plan was destroyed by a thunder hiding in the barbed wire mesh!&1t;/p>
"Let's start!" Suzuki Takao looked at the sudden firefight in the distance with hatred, and could only give a combat order to attack the entire line. However, after all, he was aware of the intention and was unintentional. The machine guns that the Germans fired temporarily were on duty, and there were not many. Although they caught the Japanese off guard in a short period of time, after the guns in front of the Second Division opened fire, the counterattack of the German army was instantly suppressed. After all, no matter how strong the machine gun was, it could not be beaten by the cannon!&1t;/p>
I have to say that Suzuki Takao's arrangement is still very powerful. The nearest infantry cannon fired at a distance of 30 meters towards the German machine gun bunker. For the cannon, it was simply a thrust on the forehead! The sudden explosion of firepower instantly silenced several machine gun fire points. The howitzers deployed behind began to suppress the frontier positions. When balls of fire rose on the German positions, a large number of Japanese soldiers shouted "Onboard" and rushed over with rifles like a tide. The bright bayonet on the rifle was shining with cold light under the flames. Don't say it, this is really a bit scary!&1t;/p>
Everything went so smoothly. Although some discordant notes would appear from time to time in the tide of people, such as a landmine that was not detonated by shells exploded, and a large piece of it was scattered by directional thunder in one place, but overall, the attack was still very smooth. The Japanese army of the Second Division successfully drowned the German cordon on the outermost periphery, and then hid the first line of defense like a flood.&1t;/p>
"It seems nothing?" Suzuki Takao said with satisfaction as he looked at the situation of his troops on the sand table. It is true that no matter how high the kung fu is, he will knock it down with one brick. The advantage of this sneak attack is that it is great. Otherwise, the old Japanese army would not like sneak attacks, and all kinds of sneak attacks...&1t;/p>
The Germans were indeed not prepared, or they did not expect the Japanese army to launch such a large offensive at night. The German commander Hans von Seckert on the opposite side was also a little shocked at first, but soon, calm returned to normal. On the one hand, it was because only Suzuki Takao's troops began to progress relatively smoothly, and the attacks of the other two divisions seemed to have some problems. As for another reason? I won't talk about it for the time being.&1t;/p>
Utsumiya Taro's offensive battle was the most passive. In terms of artillery preparation and artillery skills, this infantry officer was obviously not as good as Suzuki Takaogao. Although he greatly strengthened the number of automatic weapons in the assault troops, it was obviously too much to rely on the ineffective Shaosha submachine gun and the German mg series machine guns to shoot. Think about it, a person who did not even have a wind correction, can only use a wrench to adjust a sight, and even a ruler. How can a light machine gun with a 2o magazine ensure the accuracy and suppression of long-range shooting?&1t;/p>
