As long as the artillery here is fired back, dozens of artillery shells of various calibers will be directly covered over there. There are still dozens of Japanese tanks in the dark place. In order to preserve the authentic anti-tank artillery in hand,
In order to cope with the possibility of Japanese tanks pressing across the line at any time.
Therefore, his order to the four Soviet-made field guns was to cooperate with the 45mm combat artillery battery. As long as the Japanese tanks entered within a distance of 500 meters, they would be destroyed at all costs. Even these eight
Mensu made all the artillery, and he did not hesitate to shoot them all.
But now that the Japanese tanks have been slow to attack, he can only make his artillery with anti-tank capabilities hide as much as possible. As a result, his battle is even less easy to fight. Although the Japanese infantry is not
It was scary, but the Japanese artillery gave him a big headache.
The impact point of its artillery shells is even thirty meters in front of its skirmisher line. Its artillery fire configuration is not only orderly, but its division of artillery of various calibers is also quite clear. Some infantry artillery and Qiwu Mountain artillery are even placed in the
The heavy artillery and mountain artillery behind them were pushed down less than 500 meters away from the front-line position. The infantry artillery was pushed down less than 400 meters away from the defenders' defense line. It can be said that it was the first strike within the fire range of the defenders' infantry.
Moreover, the Japanese army was well prepared. When advancing the artillery, they were accompanied by Puppet Manchukuo military police carrying sandbags and portable steel plates as portable bunkers. As soon as the artillery was pushed to the designated location, the heavy artillery behind them immediately covered it with firepower.
Quickly build a launch site.
In order to protect these artillery, they forced the attached puppet Manchukuo army to act as human shields for them. This move of the Japanese army was quite vicious. They used this method to push the artillery bit by bit under Qi Zhibiao's nose, but it made him unable to do anything.
No matter what method was used, most of the casualties among the troops were caused by Japanese artillery fire.
In order to protect the troops from Japanese artillery fire as much as possible, he could only move the Japanese troops closer to fight. However, the Japanese troops were also tenacious and pressed hard. Wherever the offensive was contained, they used corpses and even wounded people to build fortifications on the spot, and fought with the defenders.
The army refused to retreat even in a deadly battle, and moved forward bit by bit.
Seeing that the Japanese attack line was almost reaching under his nose, and looking at several Japanese artillery positions that were very close to him, Qi Zhibiao couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, bayonets on cannons are our strength. It's better now."
, let the little devil do this to us. Not only did he push the artillery right under our noses, he also planned to stay here for a long time."
Even if he scolds, the problem still needs to be solved. If he doesn't find a way to solve these dozen 92 infantry guns and 41-type mountain guns that have been placed under his nose, they will pose too great a threat to the troops. Such a close distance
, there is no need to aim. With the quality of the Japanese artillery, no matter how light your machine gun is, it will be difficult to avoid the Japanese artillery fire.
The troops had already been suppressed by the Japanese artillery fire and could not raise their heads. If the Japanese army placed the artillery positions under their noses, how would they survive? How could they fight this battle? At such a close distance, in this kind of terrain
On the battlefield, the Japanese army could calmly kill all their heavy equipment with one shot after another. If nothing else, the twin 14mm machine guns would be knocked out by the Japanese as soon as they fired.
Looking at the Japanese artillery that had advanced right under his nose, Qi Zhibiao, who had not thought about how to deal with it, gritted his teeth and called the two company commanders of the field artillery company and the combat defense artillery company to his side, and pointed to the opposite side.
The Japanese artillery position said: "I moved the Japanese attack line forward about 30 meters, so that it would be difficult for the Japanese field artillery and heavy artillery behind us to fire to suppress our position."
"Unless they adopt the tactics of indiscriminate fire coverage, the more casualties at such a close distance will only be the Japanese army. The killing distance of a 150mm artillery shell is far more than 30 meters. Even the 75 field artillery shells
The killing distance is quite terrifying within thirty meters."
"In this way, after our army and the Japanese army have reached a stalemate within thirty meters, you can take advantage of the time difference when the Japanese army's heavy artillery fire cannot shoot. You will make a quick decision and give me the Japanese army's 92 infantry artillery positions and 41-type mountain artillery positions.
Knock them out. Even if you can't knock them all out, I will still hit most of them."
"I took a look and found that the Japanese army has a total of twelve artillery positions in front of us. Four of them are Type 41 mountain artillery positions, and the remaining eight are Type 92 infantry artillery positions, arranged in a cross-deployment pattern. But you have a total of
The two companies combined have only eight artillery pieces."
"The Japanese army still has sixty or seventy tanks waiting for us over there. The Japanese army won't care too much if they lose a dozen artillery pieces. But we can't. These eight artillery pieces are our first line of defense against the Japanese tanks that may launch an attack at any time.
.My request is that I must knock out all twelve Japanese artillery pieces, but you cannot lose a single artillery piece. What do you think? Can you do it?"
"And I can only give you five minutes for the whole battle, because once our machine guns here fire, the Japanese artillery that has blocked our door can destroy them at any time. At a distance of thirty meters, if the Japanese army charges with all their strength,
It can be said that it will be there in the blink of an eye.”
"Our military strength is far inferior to that of the Japanese army, so I don't want our troops to compete with the Japanese army on bayonets. But you also know the consequences of losing machine gun firepower. Without machine gun firepower as firepower support, it will be difficult for our army to survive with a military disadvantage.
, to defend our defense line, so I can only give you five minutes at most. That is to say, within five minutes, you must not only save the artillery for me, but also eliminate these twelve Japanese artillery positions."
This method taken by Qi Zhibiao can be described as a risky move when he was forced to do so. He knew that once the Japanese artillery was allowed to stand there, no matter how fast his machine gun moved, it would be difficult to fire on one side and move its position at the same time. Once the machine gun was
Destroyed, the Japanese army pressed forward across the board, and it was difficult to completely withstand the Japanese army's life-threatening impact under the cover of heavy artillery with infantry firepower alone.
The Japanese field artillery and heavy artillery behind him could not be controlled for the time being, and there was no way to control it. But Qi Zhibiao knew that these dozen Japanese troops had to blow them up as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Japanese tanks also
If pressed, his position would be in danger of being lost at any time. For Qi Zhibiao, no matter how great the risk was, he would still blow up these dozen Japanese artillery positions.
If it weren't for the fact that the maximum range of the recoilless rifle in his hand was only 300 meters, and the direct range of the rocket launcher was even shorter, it would not be able to reach the dozen Japanese artillery positions about 400 meters away. Before the Japanese tanks launched their charge, Qi Zhibiao
There is no way they would be willing to use these eight anti-tank artillery pieces they have.
At the moment, Qi Zhibiao really hates himself. Why didn't he use the grenade machine gun that was strengthened for him in the first place? If that grenade machine gun was in his hands, with their high rate of fire, power, and effective range of thousands of meters, he could destroy these dozen
There were no problems with the Japanese artillery positions.
Looking at the Japanese artillery positions that were being rapidly constructed, Qi Zhibiao felt regretful and wanted to give himself a big mouth. Only four of this new type of weapon were equipped in the entire roundabout army for actual combat testing on the battlefield, and the entire army has not been distributed yet. On the 12th,
Before the first line of defense, the division commander considered that the first line of 12th was the frontmost position of the entire eastern defense line in Linxi County, and had planned to strengthen it himself.
However, he rejected this weapon because he thought it was immature and would affect the progress of the battle if problems occurred on the battlefield. Now Qi Zhibiao regretted his original decision. If this weapon was used by him,
Why should I worry about this here?
It's just that there is no use regretting now. The only thing he should do is to find a way to destroy these dozen artillery pieces as soon as possible. So after careful consideration, he decided to take a risk and make a time difference to destroy these Japanese artillery pieces.
Artillery emplacement destroyed.
In fact, there is only one word to describe Qi Zhibiao's tactics, and that is fast. Fight quickly and close quickly. After hitting the twelve Japanese artillery positions under his nose at the fastest speed, he immediately
The artillery was retracted and covered by the anti-gun holes behind it.
And he took advantage of the automatic firepower in his hands, coupled with sufficient reserves of grenades, and the cooperation of 60 mortars, recoilless rifles and rocket launchers, and used the Japanese heavy artillery to carry out the attack when the two armies were less than thirty meters apart.
The weak points covered by fire formed a fire blockade, trying to suppress the Japanese attack within a distance of thirty meters.
Although this tactic is good in imagination, it is quite risky in practice. If you want to block the Japanese offensive within a distance of thirty meters, which can be said to be a direct collision within two seconds,
It is necessary to form enough firepower on the front. Otherwise, even if you are equipped with automatic weapons, it will be difficult to form a dense enough firepower network to suppress the Japanese army.
A distance of thirty meters is hardly a distance for an army with such strong impact as the Japanese army. This means that Qi Zhibiao has to move all the second-line troops to the first line and advance all the machine guns in order to form enough
firepower. And the frontline troops must be prepared for hand-to-hand combat.
However, in this situation, once the Japanese army tears even a hole in the defense line, they will take advantage of the situation and attack in depth. The defense line with no troops in the depth is likely to be broken through by the Japanese army in a point-to-point manner. If the Japanese tank troops also take advantage of the situation at this moment, they will launch a full-line assault.
, then the entire defense line will be in danger of complete collapse. No matter from which aspect, the risk of his move is quite high.
To be honest, Qi Zhibiao was not very sure whether he could stop the Japanese army within thirty meters and prevent the Japanese army from rushing into his position. In the previous battle, his troops suffered casualties under the fierce Japanese artillery fire.
It's very big. Although it can't be said to be crippling, it still reaches one-third.
The original strength of a battalion is now less than two companies. Although the loss of squad machine guns is not large, there are only two 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns that are the backbone of the firepower, and the company general-purpose machine gun is still left.
Four. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Qi Zhibiao to guarantee whether a dense enough firepower network could be formed to block the Japanese army at a distance of thirty meters.
But the situation was pressing. Even if Qi Zhibiao no longer wanted to take this risk, he had to take it at this time. That's why he emphasized the word "quick", as long as the artillery destroyed the twelve Japanese artillery positions in front and protected the machine gun positions in the shortest possible time.
If it is not destroyed, the pressure on the front line can be reduced to the greatest extent.
As long as the machine gun can be held, he is confident that he can hold the position before reinforcements arrive. Although for him, as long as he can hold on to the twelve lines without losing it, even if the troops are exhausted, he himself will fall here.
No matter what. But the premise is that the front line position of Twelve Spits must not be lost.
