The high ground faces Linxi, and the Japanese army has long since sorted out a sniper surface with a good shooting range. After being bombarded by the cadet army, all the vegetation on the high ground was burned, and numerous artillery fire appeared. Pit, in the previous battles, the students had tried various methods, including detours and side attacks, but they all failed to rush to the top of the mountain. After the mandrill was restrained by the Japanese army's Molotov cocktail in the last attempt, Liu Zheliang Realizing that the unknown highlands would be the biggest factor affecting the course of the war, he made a decisive move and dispatched the most elite guard regiment.
Both the offensive and defensive sides, and the defensive side, have innate advantages both psychologically and on the terrain. Being condescending, the shooting efficiency will be greatly improved. Moreover, as long as it is matched with reasonable fortifications, it may not be impossible to achieve "I can hit the enemy." , but the enemy can’t hit me.” Fortunately, those artillery pits can provide cover for the attacking guard company cadets. At this time, the keen danger sensing ability, flexible skills and marksmanship play a role. It seems too important. Of course, weapons of mass destruction are also a top priority. The guard company was originally equipped with three rocket launchers in platoon units, and now it is divided into three. These six rocket launchers have become the sharpest in their hands. arms,
On the highland Japanese army position, the greatest threat to the cadets was the four machine gun positions. The terrain was closely related to the sharp artillery fire of the cadet army. The Japanese army could not deploy many troops on the top of the mountain. At this time, the intensity of firepower became crucial. Up, the Japanese commander in charge of the defense of Highland No. 1 was the squadron leader Lieutenant Goto. He concentrated the machine gun squadron assigned to him by the brigade and spent a lot of effort to build four machine gun positions, each with two 92s. Type heavy machine gun and three crooked light machine guns on board. As a result, the existence of these four machine gun positions alone is enough to completely block the attack channels on both sides of the southwest. On this basis, more than 300 Japanese soldiers under his command dispersed Between the front and rear of the machine gun positions, a tight line of defense is formed.
The charge horn of the Xuebing Army sounded, and Mr. Goto poked his head out of the simple trench, picked up his binoculars and looked down the mountain. He first found traces of the Mandrill tanks, and saw three Mandrill tanks parked at the foot of the mountain without joining them. In order to attack, he slightly grinned and turned the camera to look at the trainees. There are obvious differences between the trainees in the guard regiment and those in the ordinary army. One is the temperament and the other is the equipment. The general trainees are different. In the company, most of the cadets are equipped with one gun, while the cadets in the guard regiment are equipped with short guns in addition to long guns. Some who are more knowledgeable in short guns are even equipped with double short guns. Goto noticed this The change made his heart tremble slightly. The former barbaric fighting style of the Xuebing Army had already completely wiped out the arrogance of the Sixth Division's Japanese soldiers brought from China. Goto no longer dared to question the strength of the opposite Xuebing Army. Therefore, he paid special attention to the formation of troops, hoping that through his own efforts, he could achieve the pre-battle plan of the brigade commander Suzuki Kotaro and block the Chinese Army under the No. 1 Highland. Zhang Caiyou rushed to the front and took the lead in throwing bombs. Goto's actions caught Goto's attention. Goto focused the camera on him, identified his military rank, put down his binoculars, pointed his finger over, and said to a sergeant next to him: "Sasaki, have you seen that China officer? Tell Iwano, kill him." he."
The sergeant said "Hai", turned around and ran to the side.
Just as the Xuebing Army withdrew, Goto moved the defense line down and built a line of defense about fifty meters away from the top of the mountain. The artillery pits created by the Xuebing Army's artillery were fully utilized by the officers and soldiers of both warring parties, turning them into natural
Fortifications, Goto arranged for a reinforced team to hide in the artillery pit, hoping to surprise Zhang Caiyou and the others, but Zhang Caiyou's action of throwing the bomb just now showed that he had discovered it.
The charge of the 1st Guard Company was very fast. Goto had just sent the sergeant beside him to ask the sniper to give priority to Zhang Caiyou. The cadets from the 1st Guard Company had already rushed into the place less than 200 meters away from the first line of defense of Goto Squadron and launched an attack.
In order to strike, as a quasi-special force, the Guard Regiment of the Third Xuexi Division attaches great importance to the combination of long, medium and short-range and light and heavy firepower weapons. Therefore, in the weapons and equipment of the First Guard Company, in addition to conventional long and short guns and machine gun configurations, there are also small-caliber forced-fire weapons.
For regimental support weapons such as artillery and rocket launchers, the guard company did not have many mortars, just two, and it was equipped with not many grenades, only twenty-four. However, because the gunners were trained in the entire school
Jiang Dongqing, who is quite famous in the division, and his apprentice Mao Xufeng, who he single-handedly brought out, have terrifying strike capabilities. In an artillery pit, Jiang Dongqing quickly removed the 56 mm caliber mortar from his back.
Then came the installation and debugging, and just three minutes later, he put a grenade close to the barrel. The next moment, the shriek of the grenade sounded. A few seconds later, a person in the hidden defense line of Goto Squadron was named by Zhang Caiyu with a grenade.
The artillery pit was hit, and after a loud rumble, three of the six Japanese inside were blown out of the artillery pit, while the other three only had time to scream and died.
On the left side of the artillery pit where Jiang Dongqing was hiding, Senior Private Zhang Wangqiao temporarily acted as his observation post. Facing Jiang Dongqing's questioning eyes, he cracked his teeth and said: "Yes, at least three Japanese have died. Old Jiang, you are getting more and more powerful."
Already."
Just like his artillery skills, Jiang Dongqing was famous throughout the division for being a man of few words. Faced with compliments from his comrades, he only responded with one sentence: "This is the target we are all looking for."
The difference between special forces and ordinary troops is indeed a major factor in the quality of soldiers, and the most critical factor is the cooperation between comrades. Zhang Caiyou charged while throwing grenades wildly, which seemed to be a waste of ammunition. In fact, he was
Testing the hiding places to see if there were any Japs lurking, and at the same time guiding Jiang Dongqing and Mao Xufeng to bombard targets. This was how Jiang and Mao were able to fire artillery when they found a position, and the artillery fire was surprisingly efficient in killing the Japs.
If only an occasional grenade caused such damage, Goto would not be alarmed. But the real situation is that next, Jiang Dongqing and another mortarman fired four more grenades, and among them
Three more grenades directly hit the artillery pit where the Japanese troops were hiding, causing huge damage. Although another grenade failed to directly hit the target artillery pit, it also killed a Japanese soldier.
Goto saw that many of his carefully set ambush lines were dead before they could take effect. He became angry and shouted: "Ba Ge, they are too rampant. We must kill them. The gunners and grenadiers must fight back." He roared.
, he happened to see Zhang Caiyou accurately throwing a grenade into an artillery pit, blowing up several soldiers inside. He couldn't help but burst into anger, and shouted to Sasaki next to him: "What did Iwano do? Why not?"
