Tang Dao has been silently observing this enemy army.
But he also had to admit that the Jingan Army and the puppet army that were defeated in one blow in future movies and TV dramas were completely two-dimensional creatures.
Nearly 300 people were killed in one attack. After a brief rest of less than five minutes, two infantry companies located more than 200 meters in front of the front-line trench position began to move forward, and two more infantry companies were added to the rear.
The distance between the two armies was no longer 200 meters as before, but only 100 meters.
Obviously, they had a plan to suppress the situation.
As long as the first two infantry companies can enter the area where grenades can be thrown into the trenches, the two infantry companies following them will charge forward at high speed.
At that time, those who launched the attack on the trenches would not be the 300 people in the lead, but a full 600 people.
Not to mention that there were only a hundred infantry in the first-line trenches at this time, and with the less than 400 Sichuan troops in the second-line trenches, the total force was far inferior to them.
However, the most commonly used tactic of the Japanese regular army, artillery attacking the infantry, was not reflected in the famous puppet army of the Jing'an Army.
Tang Dao's eyes narrowed, but he did not directly issue military orders as usual. This time, Li Jiujin was the first commander. At least before that, he had done a good enough job.
It's not that Tang Dao doesn't take the lives of the officers and soldiers of the Second Company seriously, but that they are still just a group of puppet soldiers in the future. In the future, they will face the more ferocious and powerful Japanese army alone. If they don't even dare to fight in a training match,
Play, what will you use to play ranked matches in the future?
The Japanese army in northern China is more terrifying than the Japanese army in the southeast...
The 92 heavy machine guns that had regained their position began to roar again, and this time, there seemed to be more heavy machine guns than before.
That's because, after all, Li Shoushan, an old fox, still had a hand. Although the heavy machine gun company directly under his regiment began to attack, not all the heavy machine guns attached to the three infantry battalions were taken out, especially the backup one.
The four heavy machine guns attached to the infantry battalion have always been well hidden.
After this wave of attacks, Li Shoushan finally couldn't help but show his sword.
But, that's just what he thought.
In the words of Li Jiujin, who had been hiding in a semi-underground fortification to observe the battlefield: "Oh! The two Japs are finally willing to show off! They have even taken out the heavy machine guns at the bottom of the box."
"Go, tell the support platoon and let me focus fire on them again. However, this time, each gun is only allowed to fire three rounds. After the firing, I will move the position immediately." Li Jijin looked attentively through the telescope.
Looking at the heavy machine gun position of the Jing'an Army that was seven or eight hundred meters away and moving the heavy machine gun into the forest, he thought for a moment and gave the order.
Mortar positions in mountain cols.
"Have you heard this? Prepare three shells for each cannon. After firing, I will carry the cannon and run away! Who is so good at disobeying orders? Don't blame me for being unkind!" said the fire support platoon of the second company.
The platoon leader is not big, but he has a loud voice.
His face was blackened by the gunpowder smoke emitted from the muzzle, and washed away by the hot sweat, and he looked like a big painted face on the stage. He didn’t have a good image, but he was full of energy. While patrolling the artillery position, he raised his head and raised his eyebrows.
shouted.
This should also be the result of long-term dealings with artillery. The hearing of the artillerymen was actually damaged to varying degrees. If the voice was not louder, few of them would be able to hear his orders clearly.
"Sir, why are you only allowed to fire three artillery shells? Isn't it very enjoyable to shoot just now? Kill those Japs." A Sichuan Army artillery squad leader was a little confused and handed his pipe to the second lieutenant platoon leader. "
Come, sir, take a sip and I’ll make sure you’re full of energy.”
This is the most common way of dealing with the Sichuan Army, giving each other cigarettes. However, being able to smoke your precious cigarette to others is a huge investment for the Sichuan Army veterans who are addicted to cigarettes.
The platoon leader of the support platoon was from the northwest and also smoked, but he liked to smoke cigarettes and had no interest in the pipes that the Sichuan Army liked. After he took out the cigarettes he had saved in his pocket and straightened them carefully, he followed the Sichuan Army artillery squad leader in a hurry.
I lit the match, took a deep breath, and exhaled blue smoke to enjoy the experience.
Then he said: "Brother, you probably think that these mortars of ours are invincible!"
"That's great! The Japanese's artillery can hit farther than ours, and it's much more powerful. We can't match it." The Sichuan Army's artillery squad leader shook his head quickly.
The two mortars lost by the regiment's mortar company were hit by the Jing'an Army's 92 Infantry Artillery, and both the man and the cannon were blown to pieces!
"So! Do you think that our shelling just now was able to defeat the Second Japanese Army's artillery?" The support platoon second lieutenant's face turned grim. "Since the Second Japanese Army's infantry dares to attack, it means they still have enough energy.
Covering fire."
"What's the point? The soldiers will come and cover up the water and the soil. Let's see who can outdo the other." A look of disapproval appeared on the face of the artillery squad leader of the Sichuan Army. "The brothers in the trenches are counting on us to shoot down the Japanese heavy machine guns."
"We just used their infantry attack to lure out their two heavy machine gun positions. How come the Japanese who have tasted our power will not use their heavy machine gun positions to lure out our artillery positions now!
Don’t think that we are safe in this small mountain depression. The 92 Infantry Cannon can not only do fortifications, but can also eject by increasing the elevation angle of the muzzle." Seeing that the Sichuan Army artillery squad leader did not take it seriously, the second lieutenant of the support platoon
I had to continue explaining.
"Besides, do you think there are only those cannons on the opposite side?"
"Is it possible, them?" the Sichuan Army artillery squad leader took a breath.
"According to our experience in dealing with the Japanese army, a Japanese infantry regiment is equipped with 10 infantry cannons and 4 mountain cannons. And the equipment of this wave of Japanese soldiers is no worse than that of the Japanese regular army. So they are not only equipped with these infantry cannons.
There will only be more in number, and there are even mountain cannons waiting for us in the distance!
They can afford to lose, but as you said, the infantry relies entirely on us to fire heavy machine guns, and we can't afford to lose even a single gun." The second lieutenant of the support platoon said slowly.
"Understood! After three artillery fires, we will withdraw!" The Sichuan Army artillery squad leader nodded repeatedly.
The mountain col is less than 1,000 square meters. If, as the second lieutenant said, the Jing'an Army has more infantry artillery that can be used as curved artillery or even mountain artillery, it will be a disaster.
This is indeed the case. In fact, Li Shoushan is more than just a dual-purpose man. The reason why he continues to devote his troops to fight with great determination is that his real trump card has not been revealed yet.
His first brigade of the Jing'an Army not only had infantry artillery, but before attacking Changxing and Huzhou, his Japanese masters specially assigned four 75mm mountain guns to him to strengthen their firepower in order to cheer him up.
During the Battle of Si'an, because there was a fleet of navy fighter planes assisting in the bombing, it was not his turn to come up with his trump card, but now he can.
The four 75-meter mountain guns on standby are just 2,000 meters away, and the artillery observers are near the headquarters. As long as the general area of the Chinese mortar position is found, the four mountain guns and six 92-meter infantry guns that are ready will cover the bombardment.
All said and done, the most tragic thing is the infantrymen of the Jingan Army on the scene. In the eyes of the Chinese soldiers, they are baits, and in the hearts of their major generals and brigade commanders, they are also baits.
The final outcome of the bait, whether the fish is caught or not, will disappear.
In this way, the devils who are calculated by both parties at the same time will eventually become ghosts, regardless of whether they are the same or not.
After ten minutes of silence, the Chinese mortars finally counterattacked, firing dozens more shells at the Jing'an Army's heavy machine gun position.
It was a mess again.
Only five minutes later, the Japanese artillery fire began to counterattack.
In this era without counter-battery radar, the Japanese army's artillery retaliation was considered fast enough.
‘Boom, boom, boom!’ Fireballs that kept exploding flashed on the mountainside.
The intensity of this wave of artillery fire far exceeded the intensity of the previous heavy machine gun firepower directed at the Chinese position by several infantry artillery pieces.
Not to mention that the general area of the small mountain col was blown up and smoke was everywhere, even on the position a few hundred meters away, it was felt that the ground was shaking slightly.
The Japanese artillery fired continuously for nearly ten minutes, throwing more than 300 artillery shells at once.
Staring dumbfounded at the thick smoke in the distance, Di Gua suddenly felt blessed and said, "Platoon leader, I know that they are using them as a shield if they don't kill the wounded soldiers of Gui Zi! Without those guys, these shells would have been smashed."
We’re at the edge of the trench!”
"Hey! You little melon learns very quickly!" The second lieutenant platoon leader of the Sichuan Army stretched out his hand to rub the little head of his signal soldier with joy, but shook his head slightly. "However, those brothers are more powerful than we thought, let's
Lying wounded soldiers on the battlefield without killing them to prevent the Japanese from shelling the trenches was just one of them."
"What else does it do?"
"You'll know when Hazi sees it. No wonder they have to push us to the front line. Their brains are so good."
On the battlefield.
The first wave of soldiers who re-entered the battlefield crawled forward for at least a hundred meters under the fierce bombardment of their own artillery fire and the roar of heavy machine guns again, and were already close to the area that had been bombarded by grenades and swept by machine guns.
It was a hell filled with corpses and severed limbs, as well as wailing or silent wounded soldiers.
The Jing'an troops were not busy attacking.
Instead, many people took ropes and used loops to wrap around the feet of the wounded soldiers or the necks of the corpses, and then pulled them back.
Don't tell me, this move is quite clever and minimizes the possibility of being shot on the battlefield.
It's a pity that the soldiers on the position may have been prepared for this move long ago.
"Bang bang bang!" Gunshots kept ringing out.
They were mainly precision shooters from various infantry squads. They were all hiding in the edge corners of the position, staring at the injured soldiers of the Jingan Army who were still moving.
Forget about those guys who bleed to death if you don't touch them. If anyone wants to touch them, then kill the person who wants to touch them.
Surround the place to call for help!
The wounded soldiers left behind are the point of incomparable cruelty.
The Chinese soldiers who have been trained by war to use coldness to cruelty can also make people feel scared.
