The Japanese naval artillery fire has been completed, but the enemy's mountain artillery fire has not yet begun.
Don't underestimate mountain artillery, it can still kill people. Just hide if you can. There is no need to fight with the Japanese army. When the suppressive firepower is insufficient, there is no other way but to hide.
The guard didn't understand. He looked at Zhou Weiguo nervously and confused. Zhou Weiguo calmed down his tone and said, "It's not over yet."
Boom boom boom... boom boom...
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another continuous explosion sound from the position, but this explosion sound was completely different from just now. Although the sound was loud, it didn't look like the ground was shaking.
This time the bombardment was very short, only five or six minutes.
Didi didi...
The bugle of the observation post sounded, and Zhou Weiguo crawled out and shouted to Zhou Jin who was not far away: "Zhou Jin, give the order, go down and check each company nearby. If you encounter any that are buried, dig them out and tell everyone not to show their heads."
, it is easy to die if the head is exposed."
"I know, battalion commander." Zhou Jin responded from a distance. Seeing him explaining to the soldiers around him, Zhou Weiguo took the telescope and looked into the distance.
A squadron of the Japanese army spread out, and moved forward in groups of three or three people. At the front were the vanguard soldiers, and at the back were the Type 92 machine guns and crooked handles carried by several soldiers.
This group of soldiers just started to straighten their chests. When they were about a hundred meters away from the position, they changed their posture, bent down slightly, pulled the bolts of their guns and moved forward in a shooting posture.
"Batalion Commander, we are within range." Hu Yong came to Zhou Weiguo, slightly tilted his head and quickly retracted to remind him.
It had already entered the shooting range, but Zhou Weiguo did not give the order to attack.
It's not that I'm afraid of wasting ammunition, but at this distance, whether the bullet fired by one's side can hit the other side is almost a matter of luck. A hundred meters or so may be easy for the Japanese army, but for our own soldiers, it's really hard.
no.
This is the first battle of the secret service battalion. Soldiers have a certain fear of the Japanese army. Morale is very important. If you win the first battle, otherwise the morale of the secret service battalion will not improve in the future. This also affects the face of the military and division headquarters, as well as the secret service.
Camp's face.
You can wait, but you can never make a mistake.
"How many of our battalions do you think can kill the enemy at a distance of eighty meters?" he asked, leaving Hu Yong speechless. Zhou Weiguo helplessly patted his shoulder; "Tell me if it's close to fifty meters."
In less than a minute, Hu Yong shouted: "It's close to fifty meters, battalion commander."
When Zhou Weiguo heard this, he stood up and went to the side. He fired a light machine gun and looked outside. The Japanese army was accelerating and even pulling the trigger.
Zhou Weiguo visually checked the distance and found that he was already within fifty meters. He sneered and looked at the heavy machine gunner; "Burst fire, send signal."
Chuchu...chuchuchu...
As soon as the machine gun roared, the soldier squatting in the trench suddenly stood up, pointed outside, and pulled the trigger.
At such a close distance, you don't need to aim, just a little aiming can kill the Japanese soldiers. If you can't kill them, you will become a wounded soldier.
As soon as the light machine guns and rifles opened fire, the advantageous spy battalion directly stunned the Japanese troops who were about to rush to the position. Although their reaction speed was less than ten seconds, more than thirty corpses were already left on the ground.
.
The remaining soldiers found nearby bunkers and crawled on the ground to shoot, while the machine gunners in the rear also launched suppressive fire.
Looking in the distance, I saw another squadron of Japanese troops arriving, obviously to provide support and forcefully occupy the area.
"Hu Yong, your marksmanship is good. Kill their machine gunners 120 meters away." Zhou Weiguo looked at the dark and short Zhou Tong, the commander of the machine gun company; "The artillery shells formed an interception line for their supporting troops."
Seeing that Zhou Tong was about to leave, Zhou Weiguo added: "At most, you can give me two rounds and then move the position. We only have so little firepower. Don't let the Japanese army stare at them and swallow them."
"Don't worry, battalion commander, I'll run away after two rounds." Zhou Tong chuckled and turned to leave. Zhou Weiguo returned to the machine gun position and looked at the Japanese soldiers still crawling on the ground: "Grenade can be thrown 40 meters away, throw it over to me.
.”
There was a wild bombardment, and hundreds of grenades exploded where the enemy climbed down. The Japanese troops were immediately blown away, and the soldiers who got up were caught by the infantry and hammered hard.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese troops began to retreat back.
Zhou Weiguo, who beat up the drowned dog, personally wielded a Czech machine gun and pulled the trigger on it, leaving behind a dozen Japanese corpses.
After killing nearly fifty people on the other side in the first battle, Zhou Weiguo looked at the Japanese troops who had retreated and had their artillery intercept them once more, and expressed his relief. At least in this battle, the morale of the secret service battalion had improved.
Zhou Jin came to him with a depressed face. Zhou Weiguo estimated the casualties and losses. He took out a cigarette and lit it: "How much is the loss?"
"Thirty-five." Zhou Jin looked up at Zhou Weiguo, his eyes slightly red.
This is normal. If I hadn't reminded him again and again, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been as simple as thirty or so.
It was pretty much within my expectations.
Boom boom boom...
Boom boom...
Before Zhou Weiguo could say anything to comfort him, the Japanese troops on the Huangpu River launched another artillery bombardment.
"Damn it, it's not over." Zhou Weiguo was so angry that he had to shout loudly: "We're in the hole, we're on guard against artillery."
Another shelling continued for about ten minutes.
Zhou Weiguo didn't even have the energy to curse, he just squatted in the cave and looked at the somewhat gloomy sky that smelled of blood and gunpowder smoke in a daze.
"Batalion Commander, Battalion Commander, two Tie Tuo Tuo are coming from the other side." The soldiers shouted so that Zhou Weiguo almost didn't react.
What is this iron lump?
Just as he was thinking about it, his head stuck out. The big-faced man turned out to be the third company commander Zhao Li.
Zhao Lijia approached Sichuan, and his words had a faint flavor of Sichuan.
Zhou Weiguo looked up at Zhao Li and stretched out his hand: "Is the Tie Tuo Tuo you are talking about a tank?"
ah……
Zhao Li was stunned for a moment and nodded like a chicken ordering food; "Yes, it's that thing."
Out of tanks?
Zhou Weiguo rushed out and climbed onto the position, raised his telescope and followed Zhao Li's finger.
Outside the position where the gunpowder and dust had not yet completely quieted down. Two Japanese tanks were lined up side by side, nearly twenty meters apart, and slowly drove over here, puffing out black smoke. On top of the tanks, the Japanese machine gunners
, aiming this way in an aiming and shooting posture.
Behind these two tanks, there were also a large number of Japanese infantry.
"Battalion Commander, how should we respond?" Zhao Li was a little nervous. It was his first time seeing a tank, and probably no one in the entire battalion had seen that tank except himself and Hu Yong.
Zhou Weiguo bit his lower lip and turned around and shouted: "Cannon battery, push the cannon over to me."
