"Preparing for an attack" "The infantry will attack first, and the grenadiers and light machine guns will pay attention to suppressing the trenches on top of the enemy, and then continue to break through" In the trench under the slope of the Luotang Heights, the commander of the Japanese night attack unit, Lieutenant Saito, ordered his night attack troops to prepare for the attack and worked out the attack method.
Saito has already understood the defensive configuration of the Chinese army on the orthogonal position, the strength of an infantry company, two trenches and other defensive information, which has been conveyed by Saito to the squad leaders and military commanders of each night attack unit, and the fourth company of the 598th Regiment, the defensive deployment of the forward inclined position, in fact, has been completely figured out by Saito's night attack troops, but the officers and soldiers on this high ground are unaware that danger is approaching them.
As soon as Saito gave the order, the night attack troops of the two squads immediately began to act, and began to divide the troops and demarcate the firing targets.
Two infantry squads, divided into two parts, a squad, crawled out of the hidden trench and lurked in the trench of the countermeasures, and the Japanese hidden area that had been silent for a long time finally had movement, the sound of the friction between the military boots and the ground, the sound of machine gunners and grenadiers taking ammunition and placing equipment, and the whispered orders of individual Japanese soldiers and veterans, the Japanese troops who attacked at night began to attack the Luotang Heights.
The grenadier group and the light machine gun group of the two infantry squads were stranded in the hidden trenches, and the guns and artillery uniformly aimed their muzzles and muzzles at the positive slope positions on the Luotang Heights.
From Lieutenant Saito, the commander of the night raid unit, to the squad leader, like the Japanese soldiers directly under the command of the detachment, everyone picked up the Type 38 rifle and attached a bayonet to the rifle, and the officers had to carry the bayonets as they did ordinary riflemen.
The 11-year-old light machine gun and the 89-type grenadier were stranded in a hidden trench, the light machine gun and the grenadier were lined up, and the Japanese soldiers of the machine gun group and the grenadier group did not participate in the direct assault on the high ground, but as a fire cover for the white-knuckle assault, and the attack method adopted by Saito was still similar to the previous white-edged assault tactics, adopting a combination of the riflemen's white-edged assault and fire cover, and the infantry first touched the sentry and suppressed the positive slope with strong firepower, and then it was a real white-edged attack.
Lieutenant Saito first led a squad of riflemen to climb out of the concealed ditch, strictly following the principle of the commander leading the team to attack with white blades, and at the same time, another squad that had just maneuvered to the opposite trench not long ago, also under the leadership of the squad leader, broke out of the trench and broke through to the positive slope of the Luotang Heights.
The Japanese troops of the six infantry detachments, holding the 38 rifles with bayonets, sneakily pasted over, seven detachments, in addition to the direct command detachment next to Saito, the other six detachments, that is, the three infantry detachments under each of the two infantry squads lined up in two triangular formations, and moved forward cautiously, each Japanese soldier Lieutenant Saito watched the Luotang forward inclined position a little nervously, and when there were still more than ten meters away from the positive inclined position, Saito decisively patted the soldiers of the direct command detachment behind him.
The soldiers of the direct detachment passed the order backwards, and the Japanese troops of the seven infantry detachments stopped advancing almost at the same time, changed the forward formation, and formed a scattered triangular formation, gathered together, rushed forward, and leaned over, and all the Japanese troops squatted under the slope of the Luotang Heights, lined up in a row, and used the hillside as a cover.
The squatting Japanese soldiers, holding the 38-type rifle in one hand and taking out a grenade from the ammunition bag on their waists with the other hand, looked up at the Chinese army position on the high ground on the positive slope.
Further up, there is the guard foxhole of the 4th Company of the 598th Regiment of the defending army.
After searching and reconnaissance, the Japanese army had a clear understanding of the deployment of the fourth company of the 598th Regiment on the positive slope, and the three people found the target, all found a foxhole, and quickly and carefully climbed upwards.
In a foxhole in front of the trench of the fourth company of the 598th Regiment, a private of the fourth company was guarding in the foxhole, holding a heavy mid-formal rifle, on guard in all directions, in the dark night, the body of the mid-formal gun and the butt of the gun were very cold in his hand, the shoulders of the privates on the butt of the guns were also sore, and the 35 steel helmets on the top of his head touched his ears from time to time, which was also cold, and the smell of gun oil from the bolt of the Zhongzheng rifle was blocked in his nose from the beginning of the sentry, which had been stimulating the sense of smell of the privates.
The privates were on duty here for more than an hour, and in the trenches behind him, there was a squad leader staring, so although this private, he couldn't see things clearly, so he didn't dare to move, and only dared to honestly hold a rifle on duty.
At first, because of the blackness of his eyes, the fear of the night and the deterrence of the squad leader, the private was worried about guarding in the foxhole, but now he was guarding with a full set of equipment and a gun for more than an hour, and the private only felt soreness and coldness all over his body.
The private's physique was not strong, and the thin coarse cloth uniform on his body could not effectively protect against the cold, and he couldn't bear it after staring for an hour, and the privates quietly glanced back at the trenches, and did not find any movement from the squad leader.
The private looked around, put his gun up, set it up in the trench, and took advantage of the rare opportunity to rub his hands and move to ward off the cold.
"Snap" Suddenly, Private heard a strange noise.
He raised his head and looked down, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything at all, so the private continued to rub his hands and move his legs, for now, this kind of activity was simply a first-class enjoyment, the private lowered his head, and his body became more and more comfortable.
"Poof" A black shadow flashed in front of the private's eyes, accompanied by the sound of feet on the ground, the private sensed that someone had entered the foxhole, and as soon as he raised his head, his mouth was covered and his neck was stuck, and a sharp pain came from his back, a bayonet penetrated his chest, and blood flowed down the tip of the knife, and the private, after the severe pain, lost his strength, and finally, little by little, lost consciousness in the dark night At this time, three Japanese soldiers rushed into the three foxholes almost simultaneously and sent bayonets into the bodies of the Chinese soldiers on alert The Japanese troops of the seven detachments below the slope of the high ground got up one after another, took grenades and rifles, stepped on the land on the slope of Luotang, and pounced on the defense line of the fourth company of the 598th Regiment Read the URL: Recommend the new book of the urban god Lao Shi::
