Chapter 153: Feint to the East and Attack in the West 7

The 16 75mm field guns of the Japanese regiment's artillery that remained behind had long been suppressed by the 189mm howitzers of the 105th Division.

Now only these mortars and grenade launchers were left to support the front line. A regiment of Japanese troops faced a frenzied attack from the 189th Division that lasted for almost a day.

Two of the three lines they had carefully laid out had been breached, and now they could only defend the last line of defense.

After one day of frenzied attack, the 189th Division suffered more than 2000 casualties, not counting the nearly 1500 injured.

The Japanese are not much better off. There is no more than a battalion of Japanese troops in a regiment who can still fight on the battlefield, and there are many wounded among them.

The dull sound of the 92 heavy machine gun rang out, and 7.7mm caliber bullets whizzed out, like a chain of death, covering the soldiers of the 189th Division who were charging in front of the position.

The Type 99 light machine gun poured a large number of bullets into the sky above the position, forming a dense barrage of bullets.

These bullets were like dense meteors, illuminating the entire battlefield and bringing tremendous pressure and fear to the Japanese army.

At the same time, the Maxim and Browning heavy machine guns of the 189th Division were not to be outdone. They let out deafening roars and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese positions.

The powerful firepower of these heavy weapons made it impossible for the Japanese army to raise their heads, and they could only hide in their fortifications and endure endless artillery fire.

Every shooting was accompanied by a bloody storm. The soldiers of the 189th Division fell down screaming in the hail of bullets. Their blood dyed the earth red, forming a series of horrific pictures.

The battlefield was filled with strong smell of gunpowder and blood, which made people feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.

Hong Bo held the P18 tightly in his hand, his eyes fixed on the enemy in front of him.

Suddenly, a Japanese soldier cautiously stuck his head out, as if wanting to observe the situation around him.

"Da da da..." Hong Bo pulled the trigger without hesitation, and a volley of bullets poured out.

He clearly saw that the bullet accurately passed through the Japanese soldier's helmet and then raised a cloud of blood behind his head.

The Japanese soldier lost his balance instantly and fell to the ground.

However, before Hong Bo could breathe a sigh of relief, more Japanese heads popped out of the trenches, and at the same time, the muzzles of the black Type 38 rifles in their hands were also extended.

"Bang, bang, bang..." The dense gunshots kept echoing in his ears, and Hong Bo immediately realized that this was not the sound of the Japanese Type 38 rifle.

He was delighted because he recognized the sound as the unique sound of the German Mauser rifle and Zhongzheng rifle.

The edge of the trench in front of us suddenly became dusty, and bullets kept hitting the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Some of the Japanese soldiers who had just poked their heads out were shot dead on the spot, while others retracted their heads in panic.

The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the sounds of gunfire and artillery fire mixed together, creating a chaotic situation.

Although grenades fired from the Japanese grenade launcher positions continued to fall into the charging crowd, the soldiers still moved forward bravely.

Every grenade explosion would raise a cloud of dust and also knock over one or two charging soldiers.

Some of these soldiers were killed directly by the explosion, while others fell to the ground wailing in pain.

However, no one stopped and they continued to rush forward.

The injured soldiers could only wait for the medical soldiers in the rear to come to rescue.

The soldiers charging on the front line now had to capture this Japanese front line that had blocked them for 12 hours.

Time is running out. If they cannot conquer this place as soon as possible, they will face even more severe challenges.

At this time, every soldier was fully aware of the heavy responsibility they shouldered. They knew that if they did not capture this position, what awaited them might no longer be the bullets of the Japanese army, but the bullets from the law enforcement team in the rear.

Therefore, they had no choice but to forge ahead and complete the mission at all costs.

"Bazooka"

With a loud roar, a bright flame trailing white smoke soon hit a 92 heavy machine gun position of the Japanese army.

With a loud bang, a huge hole was instantly blown open in the machine gun bunker made of sacks.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun inside also fell to the ground, and a piece of intestine belonging to some unfortunate guy was hanging on the hot barrel.

Due to long-term continuous shooting, the temperature of the barrel has soared to an extremely high level. At this time, the piece of intestine is actually sizzling and emitting a disgusting smell.

Originally, such a horrific and bloody scene would be enough to terrify many ordinary people, but this is a cruel and ruthless battlefield, and those standing here are all battle-hardened soldiers, including many experienced veterans.

For them, such scenes were already commonplace. After the machine gun position was successfully destroyed, the soldiers poured into the breakthrough like a tide.

Although the two Type 99 light machine guns on both sides continued to spray bullets, causing many soldiers to fall to the ground, compared with the heavy machine guns, this firepower density was still within their tolerance range.

When the soldiers of the 189th Division rushed in through this gap, brutal close combat and hand-to-hand combat began.

But this time the Japanese army could no longer gain any advantage, because the 189th Division was well equipped with submachine guns and pistols.

What the 78th Group Army lacks the least is weapons and ammunition, although the 189th Division cannot be considered as a formal organization of the 78th Group Army at present.

But no one in the 189th Division thought so, because they had been reorganized into the 78th Army Group.

In their minds, they tacitly assumed that the nearest troops belonged to the 78th Army Group.

"Kill them!" Accompanied by a shrill shout, a large number of Japanese infantry rushed out of the trenches like a tide. They held Type 38 rifles with bayonets in their hands, and their eyes flashed with fierce light.

On the other side, a steady stream of officers and soldiers from the 189th Division poured into the position through the gap and engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

On the battlefield, the sounds of gunfire, artillery fire, and shouts of killing intertwined into one, like a bloody symphony. The "da da da" and "bang bang bang" sounds of gunfire rang out as densely as popcorn, making people feel the cruelty and tension of war.

At the same time, there was the "swoosh, swoosh" sound of the bayonet entering the flesh, which was creepy.

However, in this chaos, the officers and soldiers of the 189th Division displayed unparalleled bravery.

They were not afraid of the enemy's bayonets, and bravely moved forward, guarding every inch of land with their flesh and blood. This tenacious fighting spirit shocked and frightened the Japanese army.

It is worth mentioning that if it were normal times, the 189th Division might not be able to unleash such powerful combat power.

But in this life-and-death battle, they were inspired by the courage and determination deep in their hearts and became an invincible force.
