Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

The punitive troops poked open the firing port, pointed their MP18 submachine guns or light assault rifles outside, and shot directly at the Japanese soldiers who rushed onto the position.

The Japanese were suddenly attacked and suffered heavy casualties instantly, but their tactical level was still strong. When attacked, they immediately lay down and sought cover.

There were a few Japanese soldiers who wanted to rush into the depths of the position in one breath and find the entrance to the enemy bunker to engage in hand-to-hand combat, but what these Japanese soldiers did not expect was that there was not a single entrance on the high ground!

There were no entrances behind all the bunkers, and all the trenches were buried underground. These Japanese soldiers could only howl as they were shot to death by various firing points. They didn't even see what the enemy looked like.

The firepower points on the high ground are not only facing outward, but there are also firepower points on the high ground, which looks like they are prepared for the enemy to rush in and be killed.

The Japanese on the high ground were surrounded by blood mist due to the fire from all directions. No matter where they hid, there were shooting holes that could attack them. Most of the four or five hundred Japanese who rushed onto the position were killed instantly.

The high ground was carefully designed by Li Qinwu. Everything was buried underground, including bunkers, trenches, and communication trenches. The Japanese could not see the enemy at all when they climbed up the high ground. They could only see the firing points half buried underground.

It can be said that rushing to the high ground is not the end of the battle, but the beginning of the massacre.

When the Japanese soldiers on the high ground were under massive attack, the Japanese soldiers who were sprinting towards the high ground were also attacked.

The machine gun bunker facing the bottom of the position was covered with mud. Before the machine gun bunker was activated, the Japanese could only see a mound of mud. Now that the machine gun bunker received the attack order, the shooter poked open the firing hole of the machine gun bunker with a wooden stick, and aimed the machine gun at the Japanese soldiers outside and shot.

The sudden appearance of the machine gun bunkers caught the Japanese attacking forces off guard. A large number of the Japanese who were rushing to the heights were swept down by the barrage of bullets. Such machine gun bunkers were evenly distributed on the three heights, and the Japanese who besieged the heights were all hit.

The Japanese were suddenly attacked and were blown to pieces by heavy machine gun bullets. A few Japanese who rushed across the firing range were stunned for a moment, then took out grenades and tried to approach the machine gun bunker from the side and throw the grenades into the firing port.

But just as they moved, a shooting hole appeared under the soil on the side of the machine gun bunker, and the muzzle of an MP18 gun was extended, aiming at the Japanese who wanted to throw grenades into the bunker. After a burst of gunfire, several Japanese fell to the ground and died.

There are underground trenches near the machine gun bunkers, in which soldiers using MP18 submachine guns hide. They usually do nothing but watch to see if there are any Japanese approaching the machine gun bunkers, and never give them a chance to blow up.

The Japanese officers on the battlefield all looked grim when they saw the heavy casualties suffered by their soldiers. Regimental Captain Noguchi Ikki's face turned pale. The number of casualties on his side alone exceeded two hundred. Such a huge loss was completely unacceptable in a battle defined as a conflict. He felt that his career was shrouded in a shadow.

"Quick! Quickly give the order to retreat! Retreat!!"

Captain Noguchi Ikki shouted heart-wrenchingly, and the officers next to him began to blow the whistle to retreat. Soon, officers in other positions also blew their whistles, and the slaughtered Japanese soldiers began to retreat, running down the mountain like crazy.

The light and heavy machine guns on the position kept chasing and biting the Japs from behind, and the bodies of the Japs were scattered all the way. When they ran to a safe place, the Japs officers counted and found that more than 500 people died in this wave of offensive operations!

Captain Noguchi Ikki was almost suffocating. Even the surprise attack on the Kitada Camp did not result in such heavy losses. He felt that he might become the first officer to commit seppuku to apologize after the war broke out.

But this guy was smart. He immediately asked the retreating soldiers whether they had surveyed the enemy's firing points and whether they knew what weapons the other side was using.

After he finished asking these questions, he immediately went to report to Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon.

"General, there are a lot of heavy assault rifles on the enemy's position. The soldiers judged from the gunshots and gun flames that they should be 12.7mm heavy machine guns. According to the Northeast Army's weapons and equipment sequence, we believe that they should be Liao-made Maxims.

In addition, the enemy army was also equipped with a large number of Czech and MP18 submachine guns. When the soldiers rushed to the positions, they did not encounter any single-point firepower. The density of the enemy's automatic firepower equipment was rare in the world!

In addition, the soldiers who ran down from the enemy's position said that the trenches on the enemy's position were all buried underground, and they did not see the enemy at all. These damn Chinese were all hiding in the holes like rats, and our warriors could not see the enemy! "

"Are all the facilities underground? Where on earth did the Punishment Army get so many supplies to build a project of this level!"

Lieutenant General Jiro Domon has a new understanding of the earthwork work of the Punishment Army. He feels it is very tricky. The enemies he has encountered before have never dug such complete fortifications. In the past, the imperial warriors could declare the end of the battle by rushing to the high ground. Now they also need to find the entrance to the bunker, pull out the enemies hiding underground and kill them!

Lieutenant General Duomen Jiro's face changed from dark to bright, and then he shouted loudly: "Continue the bombardment! Since the other side has a complete offensive, let the Empire's artillery destroy them all!"

The artillery regiment commander shouted and was about to execute the order, but suddenly, the sound of artillery fire was heard in the distance.

The faces of the Japanese soldiers in the headquarters changed. A Japanese soldier rushed into the headquarters and shouted in fear: "Sir! The artillery on the enemy's position is attacking our artillery position!"

"Nani!"

On the high ground, in the seven artillery bunkers facing the Japanese artillery positions, the muzzles of seven Type 7 mountain cannons were raised high, pouring fire on the Japanese artillery positions hiding behind the forest.

As early as the first shelling by the Japanese, Li Dapao, who was studying artillery knowledge at the Yunnan Military Academy, was preparing for counterattack. He kept obtaining the vision of his clones in multiple observation posts and, based on the impact points, confirmed that the enemy's artillery position was behind the forest. The forest was 6 kilometers away from the high ground, which was the maximum distance of the Type mountain artillery and was in line with the cautious style of the Japanese.

Li Dapao immediately ordered the seven artillery pieces that could hit the forest to prepare for bombardment. He personally calculated the positions and adjusted the muzzles. In order to inflict a devastating blow to the enemy's artillery positions, he also asked Li Jianfeng's special forces to operate the artillery, allowing these super-fit men to act as fast human loaders, so that the artillery could reach the fastest firing rate.

Everything was ready. Seven cannons roared at the same time. The shells flew over the woods and hit the Japanese artillery positions hiding in the rear.
