    Although he is a captain of the majestic army.  [.Com text] He must not be complacent about this small victory at this moment.  But Colonel Asakawa still smiled and said to the communications officer beside him: "Telegraph your Excellency, the division commander, saying that the leading troops of our 44th Regiment have broken through the outer positions of Baoqing and are preparing to launch a full-scale attack on Baoqing County.  "

    "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, the Division Commander, the 44th Regiment will definitely follow the request of Your Excellency, the Division Commander, and capture Baoqing County in the shortest possible time, opening a way for the entire division to go north. Our 44th Regiment will definitely  The shame they have brought to the 44th Regiment will be washed away with the blood of the Manchus in Baoqing City."

    "In addition, urge the main force of the regiment to stop dilly-dallying and seize the time to rendezvous with the leading group. The distance of thirty kilometers is about crawling. Tell the young masters of the cavalry squadron to leave a small team to look after them.  The wounded and others will fight all the artillery shells left on the front line of Hongshan. The Imperial people are not the young soldiers in the West who cannot fight without horses. "

    ¡°Compared to Asakawa Teiji, who was somewhat unable to keep his composure, he showed so much excitement.  Standing next to him, Major Qingchuan looked at the excitement that was inadvertently revealed on his face even though it was well concealed. He couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart: "When did the mighty Imperial Army of Japan fall to a small group that defeated its opponent?"  Resistance is a matter of pride.¡±

    "Moreover, it only looks like it has defeated the opponent's resistance. The flag of the brigade has not yet been planted on the opponent's position. It is unclear whether it has really defeated the opponent's resistance. Isn't the victory of the unit captain a bit premature?  If things are not as expected, will the captain be embarrassed? "

    "Just looking at the slight trace of pride on the face of the co-captain, knowing the temper of the co-captain, he hesitated, swallowed his words of persuasion, and focused all his attention on the war in front of him.

    Unlike Tetsuji Asakawa, when he saw that the attacking troops in front had already touched the opponent's front trench within thirty meters, it seemed that they could break into the opponent's defensive position in one go.  Looking at the situation in front of him, Major Qingchuan suddenly felt an unusually familiar feeling.  I always feel like I am passing by this scene there.

    ¡°Major Qingchuan¡¯s memory was pretty good, and he immediately remembered that he had seen similar scenes there.  During the battle of Qunce Mountain last year, I had already touched the edge of the opponent's trench.  Just when he thought he was about to break through the opponent's defense, something suddenly happened.  The scene then was almost exactly the same as now.  The only difference is that the opponent has not responded yet and has not launched the rain of grenades like last year that has still become his nightmare.

    Major Qingchuan has a deep memory of the almost endless rain of grenades that hit his face at Qunce Mountain last year.  At that time, if he hadn't treated his subordinates kindly, they would have fought to save him.  His back was stabbed like a hedgehog by grenade fragments flying in all directions. He had died in Qunce Mountain a long time ago.  Where can I take advantage of the opportunity of the reorganization of the 44th Regiment to advance to the next level and become the captain?

    At present, the opponent is deliberately showing weakness and wants to adopt the tactics they used in Qunce Mountain last year. When the firepower gap is large, they put the imperial army's attack troops in and use the tactics that can be used to rain overwhelming grenades to effectively  Killing or injuring imperial soldiers?

    As expected, the development of the subsequent war did not exceed Major Qingchuan's expectations.  It was almost exactly the same as the bloody battle that impressed Major Qingchuan last year.  Just as Colonel Asakawa finished reporting the results of the battle to the division headquarters, the attacking troops who had already rushed less than thirty meters away from the opponent's blocking position were hit by a rain of grenades fired by the opponent.

    The grenades fired by the opponent seemed to be endless. The attacking troops were forced to attack several times, but they were all smashed down with grenades.  The officers among them suffered heavy casualties. After several waves of attacks, only a few Cao commanders were left commanding the attacking troops.

    The scene in front of him made Colonel Asakawa Teiji, who had already sent out the good news in advance, obviously very upset. Although he didn't have a big mouth like he did to the cavalry squadron leader on the Red Mountain front line, his face fell instantly.  .  Over there, Major Qingchuan's expression wasn't much better.

    In fact, the Japanese army is fully equipped and every soldier is issued a helmet.  Except for the unlucky ones who are directly hit by grenades, most people will basically not die at once.  However, it is impossible for the Japanese army to equip their entire body with steel plates. Although the fragments formed by the grenade explosion in the air cannot cause much damage to the most deadly head, it is another matter for the unprotected body.

    Except for a few unlucky ones who were directly hit by grenades, among the first wave of Japanese soldiers who rushed up, not many were killed on the spot, only one third.  According to this number of casualties,?, for the Japanese army, which has always been tough, it simply cannot reach the point of losing its combat effectiveness.

    Although there were not many direct deaths, the number of injured was quite large.  Those who touched the front line of the opponent's position replenished the first wave of attack troops of the two teams. In the rain of grenades thrown by the opponent, except for those who were directly killed.  Some people's bodies were pricked by grenade fragments like honeycomb coals.

    And the opponent's grenades seem to be thrown forever, almost endlessly.  Moreover, most of them are made of grenades that explode in the air, causing shrapnel that cannot fly in all directions and can kill people. There is almost no blind spot.  It gave the vanguard squadron a thoroughly enjoyable shrapnel bath.

    On the battlefield, especially when facing an army like the Japanese that can sustain casualties as high as 80% but still persist without collapsing.  Death is not a scary term.  But looking at the comrades around me, their whole bodies were pricked by grenades like honeycomb coals, and they couldn't be bandaged because they were too close to the opponent's position, and they were dying of pain because of excessive blood loss. The effect was different.

    In fact, it is not that the Japanese army did not understand the tactics that Yang Zhen's headquarters often used, which was to place the attacking troops within grenade throwing distance and then cover the entire formation of the Japanese attacking troops with a rain of grenades.  But sometimes it was this simple tactic that prevented the Japanese army from finding an effective way to deal with it.

    Yang Zhen¡¯s troops were required to dig trenches and communication trenches at least half a man deep.  If conditions permit, it is often dug to the depth of one person and built into a stepped style.  At the same time, a large number of anti-gun holes, partitions, and corners are usually built in trenches.

    This layout can not only ensure that the front-line troops are provided with sufficient cover to prevent them from being heavily killed by Japanese artillery fire, but also ensure that the troops in the trenches are not killed by Japanese machine gun fire when they are moving.

    The most important thing is that the biggest advantage of this kind of fortification is that when needed, except for leaving one or two observation posts to observe the movements of the Japanese army, most people only need to huddle in the trench and pull the string of the grenade assigned to them. After a two-second pause,  Just throw it out with all your strength and forget about it.  You don¡¯t even have to stick your head out, it¡¯s quite simple and practical.

    When encountering this kind of tactics, even if the Japanese army's marksmanship is accurate and there are many sharpshooters, there is nothing you can do if they don't show their heads.  And if you want to use grenades to attack their trenches, they will deploy light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers at the back, plus a large number of sharpshooters, and even mortars are not a vegetarian.

    Unless the Japanese army uses heavy artillery to flatten all the opponent's trenches or use up all the opponent's grenades, they still can't find any way to deal with this tactic.  It was obvious today that even though the ground was covered with a thick layer of grenade fragments, there was still no shortage of grenades thrown by the opponent.

    ¡°In fact, Colonel Asakawa was quite unlucky.  He didn't know that there was a warehouse of the Logistics Department of the Jidong Military Region in Baoqing County. In addition to a small amount of mountain artillery shells, the largest reserves in this warehouse were grenades and landmines, and of course more than 7,000 90mm mortar shells.  .

    Since it is not in the main combat direction, the warehouse here is actually just a backup warehouse.  There are not many ammunition and supplies in reserve.  But the largest reserves are grenades and mines.  Not to mention various trip mines, pressure mines and the most lethal infantry directional mines, nearly 100,000 grenades alone are in reserve.

    In order to strengthen the firepower of the blocking troops, Yang Zhen fired all these grenades.  Compared with the standard of four weapons carried by ordinary troops, including the troops in Baoqing County, there are currently only 3,000 troops around Baoqing. On average, each person can carry at least thirty bombs.

    The quantity is sufficient and it is very convenient to use. Naturally, no one will feel bad about it.  Later, Liu Yihu, who was unable to compete with the Japanese army with heavy weapons, simply gave up face-to-face confrontation with the Japanese army.  Do not fire at a distance of less than 100 meters. Use grenades and submachine guns to greet them within 30 meters. If you are closer, use infantry directional mines to greet them.

    At the same time, the light and heavy machine guns that were withdrawn to the second-line positions were specially used to repair leaks.  Anyway, no matter how fierce your Japanese attack force is, I will set the rules.  That is, I will definitely not engage in hand-to-hand combat with you. If you are far away, I will use a rifle machine gun. If you are close, I will use grenades and submachine guns to greet you.

    It was this tactic that the Japanese considered somewhat rogue, but Colonel Asakawa and Major Qingchuan could never find a way to deal with it.  The subsequent attacks launched in succession all enjoyed the same treatment as the leading squadron.  Almost all of them were not repulsed, but blown up by the overwhelming barrage of grenades.  The opponent's tactics left the two of them completely helpless.

    We can¡¯t cover every soldier¡¯s body with iron sheets.  Don't say there is no place to look for it, just that you can find it, thisIf a person's whole body is covered with iron sheets, can he still fight or charge?  The failure of several charges made Colonel Asakawa somewhat regretful.  Why did he shoot out the shells of the two infantry guns so early? Even if he wanted to use fire suppression, there was no way to force a breakthrough.

    In response to his opponent's seemingly rogue tactics, in addition to scolding his opponent for being a rogue, Asakawa Teiji, who was helpless, almost yelled at the radio at the top of his lungs at the cavalrymen who were sluggish without horses. He hadn't delivered the artillery shells for so long.  come over.  At the same time, the main force of the regiment carrying mountain artillery was unable to reach them at a distance of thirty kilometers.
