Du Kaishan and Qin Zesheng were startled when they heard a familiar voice coming from their ears. [.Com text] stood up quickly. Although there was no salute according to regulations on the battlefield, the voice changed: "No. 1, you
Why did you come here? The Japanese have deployed heavy artillery deep in Miaoling. It is too dangerous for you to come here."
Du Kaishan, who had never expected that Yang Zhen would appear on the frontline battlefield of Honey Mountain, was really frightened by Yang Zhen's appearance. Especially since Yang Zhen was seriously injured in an attack next to him last time, Du Kaishan's inner knot has not been completely resolved.
After opening the situation, he was even more frightened, fearing that Yang Zhen would be in some danger.
Although Du Kaishan's command post is no longer on the front line at this time, and has retreated to a depression about 900 meters away from the main battlefield. But it is still at the camel's peak, and even the Japanese artillery on the 458th Highland in front of it is
within the range of firepower.
Seeing that Du Kaishan was a little anxious, Yang Zhen raised his telescope and observed the battlefield, and said with a smile: "Why are you allowed to come and not me? Don't forget, I was also rushed out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and you are still led by me.
It's out. Okay, don't be nervous and relax."
"If you are all so nervous, if you are discovered by the Japanese artillery observation post and a shell comes over, we will all be unlucky. Tell us how the battle is progressing now. And after more than half a day of fighting, what do you think?
What exactly was discovered in this fortress group?"
Knowing that as long as No. 1 made up his mind not to leave, unless he forced himself to leave, Du Kaishan would not leave just because of a few words from him. Du Kaishan shook his head helplessly and immediately reported the situation of the battle in front of him. He only hoped that he would report as soon as possible.
After that, No. 1 should leave this dangerous zone as soon as possible.
Du Kaishan pointed to the 458 Highland Tunnel where the fierce battle was taking place in front of him: "No. 1, the 458 Highland Tunnel in front of us is the outpost position of the entire Japanese honey mountain fortress group. Just judging from the situation exposed on the ground,
There are four gun emplacements on the ridge, and four field guns are deployed."
"All the bunkers in these artillery fortifications are made of concrete, with a thickness of about two meters on the front and about 1.5 meters on the sides. The Qiwushan field artillery currently equipped by our department basically cannot do any damage to them.
It's a threat. If a 75mm field artillery shell is fired at it, it will only explode into a white dot."
"Two large-scale semi-permanent fortification groups have been built on the mountainside using the terrain. Their firing range can form cross fire, which is enough to cover the 120-degree combat range in front of the mountain. Its firepower configuration is seventy-five mountain guns, two, and ninety-two
There are three infantry guns and five mortars. Six heavy machine guns. In addition, there are also a large number of light machine guns and grenade launchers."
"On both wings of these two semi-permanent fortification groups, there are multiple firepower points with civil structures. Although these firepower points for cover are civil structures, they are covered with steel plates and logs. Our army's 75mm mountain artillery shells
Even if it hits the top directly, it will be difficult to penetrate."
"The Japanese army's entire firepower point on the mountainside is deployed around two semi-permanent fortification groups, distributed in a plum blossom shape. Each fortification is connected by covered traffic trenches, and a large number of inverted firepower points are set up around each fortification. Each inverted firepower point
The firepower points are equipped with one light machine gun and one grenade launcher on average.”
"In addition, the Japanese army built a large number of bunkers on the legs of the mountain. Judging from the exposed parts alone, there are more than twenty. These bunkers are connected to each other through underground passages and can support each other. From the current perspective, the entire
From the current point of view, the mountain has been completely hollowed out by the Japanese army."
"There are underground passages connecting each permanent fortification and semi-permanent fortification group of the Japanese army. These passages are built from the underground layer under the mountain to the position of the ridge artillery. Moreover, the Japanese army can quickly mobilize reinforcements from the four
From the Wuba Highlands, there is also a secret passage connecting this mountain top with the Camelback Peak behind it."
"Not only that, the Japanese army also built a secret attack channel with excellent concealment at the leg of the mountain, so that they can launch counterattacks from behind at any time. When our army was digging the tunnel, we encountered the Japanese army's tactics launched through the secret attack channel.
Counterattack. Our army also took advantage of the secret attack channel of the Japanese army that was discovered when it repelled the Japanese counterattack force, and rushed into the Japanese army's fortification group."
"Our current battle situation is that our army uses rocket launchers, cluster grenades and Sanqi rapid-fire artillery to cooperate with each other to first knock down the Japanese flank cover fortifications. For the permanent fortifications that cannot be destroyed for a while, the semi-permanent fortifications are blocked with a large amount of cement.
Tactics such as shooting holes or using flamethrowers to burn out surface positions have been taken."
"They also occupied the first and second floors of the Japanese military fortifications within the mountain, destroyed the underground water reservoir, and occupied the ammunition depot. However, the Japanese army blew up all the pathways for upward attacks, and all our upward attacks were blocked.
The battle on the ridge is still ongoing because the Japanese army relies on anti-slope positions and secret passages to mobilize reinforcements."
"At the same time, the heavy artillery group and field artillery group deployed by the Japanese army in the Miaoling area are also supporting their defense and struggle for the ridge with intensive artillery fire. Judging from the artillery shells fired by the Japanese army in Miaoling, there are at least six or more guns there.
50 heavy howitzers, two or more heavy cannons. As for whether there are other large-caliber heavy artillery, it is still unknown."
"No. 1, the current battle is mainly concentrated on the ridge. The impact points of Japanese heavy artillery in the direction of Miaoling are almost all concentrated near the ridge. The key issue now is that most of the Japanese troops are deployed on anti-slope positions at this time.
The artillery cannot hit, and the mountain artillery has too many blind spots. The biggest threat to our army is the heavy artillery group in the direction of Miaoling."
"Because most of the Japanese heavy artillery, except for the part on Camel's Hump, is deployed deep in the direction of Miaoling, the distance is too far. Our army cannot judge the Japanese heavy artillery position at all, and the error in judging the Japanese ballistics alone is too large. Now
We couldn't see, hit or penetrate the Japanese heavy artillery group in the direction of Miaoling. We were completely helpless and were almost passively being beaten."
"Before we capture the commanding heights of Camel's Hump, we have almost no solution. This is why I am prepared to use a large amount of explosives and use concentrated blasting to solve this highland of 458 first."
Speaking of this, Du Kaishan hesitated for a moment and then said: "No. 1, the Japanese prisoners captured after interrogation have found out that the Japanese army here is not the Japanese Third Border Guard Team of the Banjiehe Fortress Group. It is the 11th Japanese Army Prisoner.
The 12th Border Guard Corps was formed with the backbone of some of the division's troops."
"The configuration of its troops is the same as that of the Third Border Guard, which is 1,500. Its troops are divided into six squadrons of infantry, two squadrons of machine guns, eight squadrons of artillery, and three squadrons of engineers. Ten 150-weight howitzers,
There are ten 105 and 150 cannons in total, 75 field cannons, six mountain cannons each, as well as infantry cannons and a small number of mortars. Judging from the current battle situation, the prisoner's confession should be true."
Listening to Du Kaishan's battle report, Yang Zhen nodded slightly and said: "I already know this situation. We have seized a secret file storage location of the Japanese army in Dong'an. Although we have not found out the specific structure of the two fortresses of the Japanese army, we have
There have been considerable gains in the deployment of its troops and firepower."
"You are quite good at not being superstitious about your superiors' intelligence and being able to make your own accurate judgments. If you hadn't proposed that all troops participate in the war, judging from the current battle situation, our attack would be very effective.
It may fail."
"We have no experience in attacking this kind of fortress group, and we also lack the best weapons to deal with this kind of fortress group, powerful heavy artillery and concrete destroying bombs. You have occupied the surface position in only half a day since the early morning attack.
It also penetrated into the Japanese military fortifications. In such a short period of time, it was quite good to achieve this. According to the standards of World War I, it can even be described as extremely exciting."
"The headquarters has also thought of the difficulties you encountered. In order to cooperate with your operations, the military aviation force has dispatched aircraft to conduct comprehensive reconnaissance of the entire Miaoling and Banjiehe areas. It has also concentrated its existing forces to prepare for the Japanese heavy artillery fortifications and its permanent fortification groups.
, take air strikes."
"In order to cooperate with your attack, the arsenal has produced some bombs after working overtime. The headquarters has decided to use all these bombs for your side of the battle. However, our production capacity is still limited. Even if we work overtime, the quantity will not be enough.
Not much. But with the cooperation of the aviation force, your battle will be much easier."
Hearing Yang Zhen mention the matter of air support, Du Kaishan shook his head and said: "No. 1, judging from the few Japanese permanent fortifications we currently occupy, even an air strike may be difficult to be effective.
These Japanese military permanent fortifications are generally constructed of large-scale reinforced concrete."
"The thickness of reinforced concrete in the front part is basically about one to two meters, and even more than three meters in some places. Whether it is permanent fortifications, semi-permanent fortifications, or even basic civil engineering works and traffic trenches, they are basically covered with steel plates
, even armored steel plates.”
"After one of our engineer company commanders saw it, he reported directly to me that these permanent and semi-permanent fortification groups were all built according to the standard of heavy artillery defense of 150 mm. The tops of them can withstand less than 500 kilograms.
The bomb’s direct hit standard.”
"Even those civil fortifications, most of the tops can withstand direct hits from fifty to one hundred kilogram bombs. Unless they are equipped with bombs of more than five hundred kilograms, the largest bombs in our aviation force, which are no more than one hundred kilograms, may not be able to withstand direct hits."
There’s nothing you can do about it.”
"No. 1, on behalf of all the officers and men in the army, thank you. But if the entire Japanese fortress group in Honey Mountain is built according to this standard, there is no need for our bombers to come or not. Those bombs and their useless lang
Instead of spending it, it might as well be transferred to support other battlefields where it is more needed."
Regarding Du Kaishan's concerns, Yang Zhen put down the telescope in his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this. Ordinary bombs cannot deal with these solid fortifications, but the new bombs we are equipped with may be different. This kind of bomb is specially designed to deal with
This kind of fortification was developed by the Japanese army, so your place can be regarded as the second testing ground."
