Chapter 250 Northbound 12

Since Li Qinglin's fifth company joined the Ninth Detachment, more than 300 new people have been added. In addition to forcibly recruiting some rogue soldiers, they have recruited some new peasants. This is the first time these people have participated in the battle in the third brigade. The recruits have participated in the battle as soon as they joined the army, and they are forced to do so, because the troops are absolutely insufficient now, and these recruits have only conducted some simple shooting and bomb drop training. Even the quality of those rogue soldiers who were recruited is not high. The habits they developed in the old army before will not be changed well for a while. When they saw the enemy touching them in the strait line, these people started shooting regardless of whether the other party was within the range or not, and they did not wait for the order of the squadron leader.

Lieutenant Suzuki kept observing carefully while holding the telescope. He heard the unruly and messy gunshots of the other party. Lieutenant Suzuki smiled. He thought that his opponent was indeed the same miscellaneous soldiers as before.

But Suzuki's smile did not last long. When the puppet army attacked 400 meters, the Czech style of the third brigade started. From the "da da da" sound of the Czech style, Suzuki heard that all these machine gun shooters used two or three points to shoot, which was a technique that only old machine gun shooters with great experience in the battlefield could have.

After a while, two platoons of puppet troops dropped seven or eight bodies at the front of the position and retreated.

This attack itself was a tentative attack. Suzuki had observed that the opponent had two positions, and there were only two machine guns shooting on each position. According to Suzuki's past combat experience, the opponent had about two companies of troops, and the strongest firepower was these four light machine guns.

According to his own judgment, Suzuki adjusted the deployment of the attack. He devoted most of his troops to the left and left only half of the puppet army company on the right. Twenty minutes later, the puppet army troops who had adjusted the deployment launched another attack. However, this time was different from last time. The Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun began to provide firepower support to the puppet army troops in the key direction of the attack.

Amid the "grizz" shooting of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, the puppet army strengthened the company to launch a key attack on the left side, namely Li Qinglin's right wing. The puppet army on the other side also launched a restraining attack on Li Qinglin's left wing.

Key breakthroughs are also one of the traditional tactics of the Japanese army. Under the direct supervision of Second Lieutenant Suzuki, the second company of the puppet army was also very hard to attack.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun kept firing, and the bullets of the heavy machine gun were shot at the position of the large third squadron like splashing water, and casualties began to occur in the trenches. Under the cover of the heavy machine gun, the puppet army was divided into three waves by Lieutenant Suzuki. The first wave of attacking troops was two platoons, and they rushed forward with their waists.

When the puppet soldiers reached the range, the big man gave the order: "Fight!" All six Czech-style men from the Third Squadron opened fire, and the veterans in the trench also began to aim and shoot.

There was no hidden object on the hills that could cover the body. After some people were knocked down, the two remaining members of the puppet army were suppressed by the sudden firepower. They lay on the ground and shot randomly, and they no longer dared to get up and charge.

"Attack!" Second Lieutenant Suzuki issued an order, and the second platoon of the puppet army joined the battle. They began to move forward as the second wave of offensive forces. This wave of offensive had a little effect, but it only moved forward about fifty meters based on the two platoons in the previous wave.

"Attack!" Second Lieutenant Suzuki issued another order, and all the puppet troops in the third wave attacked.

The puppet army's attacks were significantly different from the previous two times. The increase in the number of puppet soldiers put huge pressure on the soldiers in the trench. The number of shots increased, but the aiming time began to decrease, so the shooting effect was even worse. The puppet army in the reinforced company on the front of the third brigade actually approached 200 meters in front of the position.

Seeing that the puppet army was getting closer and closer to the trenches of the Ninth Squadron, although they were more careful, their tactical actions became more and more determined. The puppet army was getting closer and closer, and they were about to reach a hundred meters of the charge.

"Bang"..., "Boom"! Suddenly, a grenade was thrown out of the trench of the Ninth Squadron, and the grenade landed accurately among the puppet army. The forces of a strengthening company were concentrated in such a small front, and of course the crowd was quite concentrated. The killing radius of the grenade was about eight meters. After this explosion, several puppet army fell down.

The third brigade had three grenade launchers, which were originally equipped with machine gun platoons. Later, due to insufficient personnel, Li Qinglin only left a mortar squad, and the three grenade launchers were respectively equipped to three squadrons. Therefore, the big 9th squadron also equipped a grenade launcher. Now the puppet army is within the firing range of the Type 91 grenade, and the big monarch ordered the grenade launcher team to start firing.

The firing speed of the Japanese 50 mm caliber Type 89 grenade can reach up to 30 rounds per minute. After the first grenade exploded, the grenade launchers of the Ninth Squadron fired more than a dozen Type 91 grenades one after another.

The puppet army in the attack did not expect that the national army was also equipped with grenade launchers, and the explosions successively defeated a large number of puppet troops.

The 50mm grenade launcher is a unique equipment of the Japanese invading China. It is called the 50 small cannon or hand cannon in China. Because it is light and can be fired on the front line with the attacking troops, it has caused great casualties to the Chinese troops. These puppet troops have suffered from grenade launchers in the hands of the Japanese army before. Seeing the grenade launcher fired by the Ninth Squadron, they turned their heads and ran back, shouting while running: "They have cannons, run quickly, and if they don't run, they will die!"

Suzuki saw the puppet army pounced on it like waves from the telescope, but finally escaped like a flood and collapsed. He realized that the opponent in front of him was definitely a powerful force.

After the puppet army company commanders gathered the retreating defeated soldiers, Lieutenant Suzuki decided that the Japanese army would carry out this attack himself.

Before this attack, Lieutenant Suzuki made careful arrangements. The puppet army launched a cover attack on the flanks, and the Japanese reinforcement squad was on the front. Suzuki believed that with his heavy machine gun, three grenade launchers, and more than 60 well-trained Imperial Army warriors, the defenders of this company on the opposite side would definitely be eliminated.

Half an hour later, the strengthening squad of Second Lieutenant Suzuki began to attack. It was still covered by heavy machine guns, and the strengthening squad of the Japanese army quickly reached 500 meters ahead.

In this place where the attack was launched, Lieutenant Suzuki divided the attacking infantry into three waves, and he still wanted to defeat his opponent with the Japanese army's best wave attack.

The tactical qualities of the Japanese soldiers were high. Under the command of the squad leader Cao and his squad leader, the Japanese soldiers kept covering, leaping forward, and then covering up. After leaping forward, the first wave of Japanese offensive troops quickly reached 200 meters ahead of the Ninth Squadron.
