Chapter 50 Bloody Battle at Night
On the Japanese artillery position, 4 Type 38 75mm field guns, 10 Type 92 infantry guns, and some 90mm mortars gathered artillery from an artillery squadron and two infantry brigades to fire at the Sichuan Army position!
Deafening explosions rang in the ears of the soldiers. They leaned tightly against the bunker, not daring to expose their bodies at all. The shells blew up a lot of dust, which fell on their heads like rain.
Experienced veterans point their muzzles downward to prevent the muzzles from being blocked by falling soil.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two artillery shells crashed directly into the trench, instantly blowing up several soldiers hiding in the bunker, including their men and their guns. There was not a single piece of meat on the corpses.
Although there were individual bunkers for protection, dense artillery shells fell directly into the trenches from time to time, killing and injuring many unlucky Sichuan Army soldiers around them.
In addition to the explosion, there were also the painful screams of many wounded soldiers. The other Sichuan Army soldiers all lowered their heads and huddled in the bunker.
That's what it's like to fight a kid, with a cannon on your head, waiting for luck like buying a lottery ticket, only to be blown to pieces by a cannonball to win the jackpot.
"Ah! Help, help, my leg!"
A soldier whose legs had been blown off was lying on the ground rolling in pain. He was blown out of the trench by the shock wave of the shell. No one dared to brave the intensive artillery fire to save him, leaving him lying alone and wailing.
"Boom...boom!"
Another artillery shell fell next to him. After the dust and smoke dispersed, there was nothing but a pile of blackened minced meat and a crater dozens of centimeters deep.
Similar tragic scenes continued to occur throughout the entire position. Even with the cover of trenches, there was no guarantee that they would survive. The soldiers could only pray that the shells would not fall on their heads. There was no other way, it was just like this on the battlefield.
cruel!
Krupp was lying on the reverse slope at the moment and did not dare to fire back. The main reason was that the maximum range of these dozens of mortars was only 3 kilometers. At this time, they were arranged on the reverse slope and could not reach the opponent's artillery position. He rashly
If you fire, your position may be locked by the opponent's mortars.
It would be great if there were a few Krupp 105 howitzers now. Compared with the Japanese 75 mountain cannon, it would be Sun Tzu! Krupp thought silently in his heart.
The shelling slowly subsided, and the soldiers on the Sichuan Army's position slowly revealed their heads.
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Liao Mingyu got out of the individual soldier's bunker, spat out a few mouthfuls of sand, and shouted to the surroundings: "Commander, quickly ask the veterinarian to come up and take down the brothers who can be saved!"
"knew!"
Meng Fanxiao agreed from afar. Then he hurried to the back of the mountain and called the veterinarian's treatment team to start rescuing the wounded.
As he spoke, Liao Mingyu lay on the trench and looked out. The Japanese charging troops were already approaching a distance of 150 meters in front of their position!
Damn the little devils can play well together with infantry and artillery. If the visibility was not bad at night, it is estimated that these Japanese soldiers could cooperate with the artillery and rush 80 meters in front of the position. There was no time to think about it. He quickly ordered to the surroundings:
"Cui Yong, are you dead? If you're not dead, pull out the heavy machine guns!"
"Milong! Your stupid machine gun company is ready. I will try my best to hold on to you later."
"Damn it, you go north, you and I will each take charge of one side."
...The order was issued, and the Sichuan Army united as one, and everyone moved to prepare for the attack of the Japs.
"Everyone!" Liao Mingyu stared at the Japanese troops who were advancing forward in a skirmish line. They were less than 80 meters away from the position!
"Fire!"
Da da da da da…!
Bang! Bang...
Fierce gunfire erupted from the Sichuan Army's position, and bullets flew toward the little devil.
Milong operated a light machine gun and kept firing forward. Dozens of light machine guns poured firepower at the Japanese troops from various fire points in the position. The dense bullets blocked the space of tens of meters in front of the position, and the running little Japanese were constantly shot.
Fall to the ground.
call out……
"Grenade! Watch out for the imp's grenade!"
As soon as Liao Mingyu finished speaking, more than a dozen rifle grenades were fired into the Sichuan Army's position. Several soldiers who were lying on the trenches and shooting were killed. Shrapnel flying everywhere took away the lives of more than a dozen soldiers.
The Japanese attacking troops at this time consisted of two squadrons one behind the other. Two 90mm mortars and a dozen grenade launchers were placed less than 200 meters away from the Sichuan Army's position, constantly killing and injuring the soldiers on the opposite side.
them.
And the intensive firepower of the Sichuan Army also opened fire at the Japs crazily, harvesting the enemy's lives wantonly!
"Maximum elevation angle, 10 rounds of rapid fire, release!"
Krupp shouted orders to the artillerymen. Ten mortars opened fire instantly.
The Sichuan Army's mortars locked onto the enemy's artillery, and 10 shells hit their artillery squad one after another.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The 81mm high-explosive grenade was not comparable to the Japs' 50mm grenades. The Japs' grenades and mortars were instantly overturned! Countless grenades and the Japs' severed hands and feet were blown up into the air.
The flames of the explosion covered the entire Jaap's attacking force.
"Keep the mortars firing!"
Mortar shells from the Sichuan Army bombarded the Japanese attacking team one after another. The sudden bombardment caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese army.
Coupled with the terrifying and intensive firepower, the Japanese could not withstand the pressure and began to retreat one after another.
"Ding, the host unit's shelling killed a Japanese squadron leader and unlocked the German 4x optical sight."
Well, this guy Krupp also killed a Japanese squadron leader?
Liao Mingyu was quite puzzled. He had killed many Japanese army officers but had not unlocked any weapons and equipment. Unexpectedly, this fat man came out on top.
"Ding, officers with higher positions have a higher probability of obtaining high-quality items. Killing enemy officers has a certain probability of unlocking weapons. Not everyone can successfully obtain rewards. The host's failure to unlock can only be attributed to poor luck."
The system explained to Liao Mingyu as if it was angry enough to kill someone.
"Hey, what the hell..."
Liao Mingyu felt that this bitch system seemed to have a grudge against him, restricting him in every way and refusing to speak out, and would not be happy unless it made him half-dead.
At this moment, the first wave of the Japanese attack was repulsed, and the Japanese retreated leaving more than 300 corpses. The powerful firepower of the Sichuan Army made them run away without even rushing in for 50 meters.
"Veterinarian! Move quickly and carry all the wounded soldiers down!"
Liao Mingyu shouted to the veterinarian. At this time, the veterinarian was exhausted and out of breath. He and a group of medical soldiers carried the wounded out of the position one by one on simple stretchers.
Touch! Touch! Touch!
After a while... the dull sound of infantry artillery firing came faintly from the Jaap position.
"Damn it! Everyone get into the bunker quickly, Cui Yong, drag the heavy machine gun down, don't let me blow it up!" Liao Mingyu shouted.
Chapter completed!
