The progress of Du Kaishan's plan was not very smooth at the beginning. [.Com text] When the tunnel began to be dug, the Japanese fortress garrison in the mountain leg really couldn't keep calm anymore. It turns out that the Japanese army did not appear
Dozens of new fire points suddenly appeared on the legs and even the base of the mountain where the fire points were located.
When the tunnel was dug under the root of the mountain, some troops were even dispatched from several hidden tunnels to launch a counterattack in order to destroy the tunnel, trying to blow up the tunnel that was being dug at an extremely fast speed. They were only fired by the covering troops with light and heavy machine guns.
The mortars just blew back up again.
The Japanese troops who counterattacked were bombed back, but the grenades fired from dozens of cross-firing firepower points on the mountain legs and the infantry artillery with extremely awkward shooting angles also caused a lot of casualties to the tunnel digging troops. The Japanese came over.
The angle of the grenade was very tricky and accurate, but the retaliatory mortar shells hit these fortifications without even scratching the surface.
The Japanese commanders were very shrewd. They clearly saw the dangers of these tunnels and tried every means to destroy them. When the tunnels were dug under the roots of the mountain, the Japanese army also sent soldiers to carry out suicide attacks by strapping explosives on their bodies as individual soldiers.
, trying to blow up the tunnel.
If it weren't for the incendiary bombs fired by the artillery, the dense bushes on the legs of the mountain were ignited, blocking the Japanese army's shooting sight. At the same time, the 37 rapid-fire cannons were pushed directly to the foot of the mountain to carry out point-to-point strikes, braving the artillery fire from the Japanese army on the mountain, and exploded.
They destroyed several bunkers with the most intense firepower and the most important positions of the Japanese army. At the same time, the covering troops suppressed the Japanese counterattack forces at the cost of nearly half of the heavy machine gun losses, and were almost defeated by the Japanese army several times.
Fortunately, the excavation distance of the tunnel was not too far. Although it took a certain amount of casualties, it was finally dug to the foot of the mountain. In the regiment's 37 rapid-fire artillery group, level-firing 75 field artillery, and a large number of rocket launcher operators, they risked heavy casualties.
, using close-range shooting to clear out the dozen or so bunker groups exposed on the Japanese army's mountain legs bit by bit, the infantry launched a full-line attack.
After the tunnel excavation was completed, the Japanese army was the unlucky one. With three red flares, the attacking troops were organized into squads, either pushing gasoline barrels filled with mixed cement, or carrying Molotov cocktails and cluster grenades.
, or jumped out of the tunnel and rushed towards the Japanese bunker. Or they used the opened gasoline barrels as simple bunkers and rushed towards the Japanese bunker group under the cover of firepower.
Du Kaishan assigned the few remaining bunkers at the foot of the mountain to rapid-fire artillery, and the direct-aiming artillery, which drew the infantry's attack line above the legs of the mountain, was out of reach. However, artillery with sufficient ballistic curvature, such as mountain artillery, was not powerful enough.
Exploded bunkers. At the same time, the lightness and flexibility of the rocket launcher, grenades, cement and flamethrowers were used to attack the bunker group on the entire mountain leg.
Qin Zesheng was still very cautious when formulating his attack plan. He used the portability and randomness of the rocket launcher to first eliminate the covering fire points around the Japanese Yongbei fortifications. Then he used the shooting blind spots of the Yongbei fortifications to use a large number of explosive packets, cluster grenades, and incendiary bottles.
, and even cement can be used to implement directional blasting or directly use a large amount of cement to block the shooting holes of permanently prepared fortifications for which rocket launchers are powerless unless they directly hit the shooting holes.
Obviously, when the Japanese army was designing and building fortifications, they did not expect that there would be a direct-aimed weapon like a rocket launcher in the world that was light and could be used in almost any terrain. Although the penetrating power of this weapon was not able to deal with those poured
There are permanent fortifications with a thickness of one or two meters of concrete, but it is not a problem to knock out the covering fire points of civil structures around these permanent fortifications.
Although the Japanese army's permanent equipment was large in number, it did not cover the entire mountain. Except for some permanent equipment firepower points, most of the fortifications were built by civil engineering. However, many of the fortifications were covered with steel plates to strengthen the defense.
Although the defense against vertical firepower has been increased, the frontal defense is still compared to those permanent fortifications built of reinforced concrete.
The firepower points on the flanks of these civil structures and the permanent fortifications are interdependent and cover each other. When the Japanese army came, those permanent fortifications, which were strong and could prevent direct hits from 100mm artillery, served as support points to protect these civil fortifications.
.And the much wider shooting range of these civil fortifications can protect the flanks of those supporting points.
However, the Japanese army probably never thought that their opponents would hit the covering fire points and attack those permanent fortifications that even small-caliber direct-aiming artillery could do nothing about. In addition to forcing incendiary bottles inward, they even directly used
The method is to directly block the shooting hole with the mixed concrete.
With the cooperation of this variety of tactics, two-thirds of the Japanese bunkers on the entire mountain were defeated within an hour. And the two permanent fortification groups located on the mountainside serve as the defense support for the entire mountain.
, then it will either be completely burned inside and out by the opponent's flamethrower, or the shooting hole will simply be blocked by a large amount of cement, thus losing its suppressive effect.
Looking at the subsequent attack that was progressing smoothly, Qin Zesheng put down the telescope in his hand and said to Du Kaishan: "Commander, your skills are exquisite. Although it is the first time to use this kind of tactics, it is somewhat unfamiliar, but the casualties are higher than expected."
The one was much smaller. Especially the tactic of using bazookas and flamethrowers to clear the covering fire, and then using cement to directly block the Japanese shooting holes. It was simply too whimsical. The little Japanese had to be blocked inside now."
"Those thick turtle shells built by the Japanese, we can hardly do anything to them without heavy artillery. It is also very difficult to use explosives alone. One firepower point, one hundred kilograms of explosives were blown up, and there was basically no major damage. Even if the Japanese troops inside were destroyed
They were shocked to death, but they can still quickly mobilize troops to support through the underground passage. We have no way to completely destroy these turtle shells."
"It's different if you can block their shooting holes with cement. Even if the Japs reinforce more troops, without the shooting holes, the Japanese reinforcements will not be able to attack our army. Without the shooting holes, their machine guns will not be able to attack us."
No matter how many there are, no matter how strong the fortifications are, it will be of no use."
Hearing Qin Zesheng's praise, Mr. Du Kaishan blushed and said: "I didn't think of this. If I had this ability, I wouldn't have to worry about these turtles. This method was thought up by No. 1,
Those cements and those gasoline barrels were also specially approved by him from the supplies seized in Dong'an. This attack tactic was drawn up by No. 1 himself, we are just trying it out first."
When Du Kaishan was talking to Qin Zesheng, he did not put down the telescope in his hand. Instead, he kept closely observing the battle on the mountain. He was quite satisfied with the fierce battle on the mountainside, but he was not satisfied with the one who attacked the ridge several times.
After breaking into the Japanese artillery fortification, I was very dissatisfied when I was kicked out again.
Without the threat from the side and rear, the leading company, which was suppressed in a depression on the mountain, returned to the sun again. Although they did not carry cement and Molotov cocktails, they specially strengthened two rocket launchers and a large number of grenades, explosive packs, and other equipment before setting off.
There is a blasting tube.
Due to the problem of shooting range, the Japanese army does not have many permanent firepower points on the ridge. Most of the permanent firepower points are concentrated on the front of the mountainside. The ridgelines are mostly field fortifications. The biggest threat to the leading company is not
The Japanese field fortifications on the ridgeline were inverted firepower points on the mountainside.
The Japanese troops in the field fortifications on the ridge were suppressed by artillery fire, and the inverted firepower points on the sides and rear were eliminated by friendly forces. Without the threat from the sides and rear, the leading company naturally fought much more easily. But the Japanese troops deployed on the reverse slope
The counterattack was quite powerful.
In particular, after the Japanese troops in other fortifications discovered that the ridgeline was tight, they quickly reinforced several permanent artillery firepower points at the ridgeline of the mountain through underground passages. Not only did they mobilize a large number of artillery firepower points for the artillery fortifications in the shortest time,
There were few reinforcements, and these reinforcements also cooperated with the Japanese troops on the reverse slope to continuously launch counterattacks against the vanguard troops rushing up the ridge.
The Japanese troops deployed on the reverse slope and quickly reinforced the troops through underground passages to the ridge line, and the counterattack was extremely powerful. The leading company that rushed up succeeded several times and was driven down several times. Although two Japanese troops were blown up with explosives
Artillery bunker, but its own casualties also reached one-third, and the attack intensity dropped significantly.
Looking at the leading company that was not making good progress, Du Kaishan put down the telescope in his hand and said to Qin Zesheng beside him: "We are moving a company up. So many troops are concentrated on the mountainside, is it useful? The troops are all concentrated together, the density is too high.
Gao. Don't forget, the Japanese army still has heavy artillery on the Camel's Peak behind. How many casualties will you get when a 150 heavy artillery fire comes down? It's not like the Japanese have never adopted the tactic of sharing the same fate."
Qin Zesheng nodded in agreement, grabbed the walkie-talkie next to him, and directly set up a link to attack the ridgeline for the lead. The follow-up troops followed the predetermined plan and carefully cleared the various Japanese firepower points on the hillside. At the same time, two
The company rushed into the mountain along the entrances of several underground passages that had been exposed abandoned by the Japanese army.
The entrances and exits of the hidden tunnels specially used by the Japanese army to launch tactical counterattacks are very cleverly built. According to the Japanese army's plan, each entrance and exit can ensure that all troops of the size of a squadron can rush out of the fortifications within five minutes. Therefore, these entrances and exits are very clever.
Although the entrance and exit of the hidden tunnel were built very cleverly and a lot of cover was made. If the Japanese army had not taken the initiative to attack, it would have been difficult to be discovered, but the entrance and exit passages were not narrow.
The troops who rushed into the fortifications followed the underground passages built by the Japanese army and launched an attack deep inside the Japanese army. The attacking troops used flamethrowers, grenades and submachine guns, expecting the Japanese army to attack deeply. When they saw the troops rushing into the Japanese army,
Inside the fortifications, Du Kaishan, who was afraid that the inexperienced troops would suffer losses, immediately threw in the reconnaissance company following him to replace the ordinary company.
