Putting down his telescope, Zoe Kazuo gave the order to terminate this round of attack. Chief of Staff Araki Murato, who was standing behind him, also saw this scene and gave an appropriate evaluation: "The commander of the Chinese army on the opposite side is not weak. Just now The timing of firing was well grasped.”
Zoe Kazuo continued: "I don't know if the artillery unit can seize this opportunity. Araki, have you noticed that before, the Xuebing Army did not choose to shoot with our artillery? This illustrates two problems. The first is First, the Chinese have very few artillery; second, their commander is very familiar with the terrain in this area and knows that our artillery positions are very cleverly set up."
Just as he finished speaking, the rumbling sound of artillery came from behind him, and nearly a division of Japanese artillery units consisting of three positions began to fire.
Soon, the sound of explosions came from the backside of Xifengkou Pass not far away, and then smoke rose and filled the area behind the Great Wall.
Zoe Kazuo picked up the binoculars and looked at the Xuebingjun position opposite, and found that the civil engineering work was still in progress. He curled up the corner of his mouth, showed a sneer, and ordered: "Order the Akita Bamboo Soldiers to prepare for another attack; The artillery troops generated electricity and asked them to bombard the enemy positions again in five minutes, with rapid fire for five minutes."
"Hai, I'll do it myself." Araki responded loudly, saluted, and quickly retreated, running all the way to the headquarters not far away down the mountain. As he ran, he thought in his heart: He is worthy of being a top student of the Military Academy. The brigade commander's move was so clever that the defenders on the opposite side must not have thought of it.
Opposite, Xu Rongfang, who was seizing the time to repair the fortifications, stopped. He looked up at the sky. The shells trailing flames were almost visible to the naked eye. Suddenly, he remembered something and shouted: "Quick, withdraw everyone to the anti-gun holes."
"Company Commander, the artillery shells didn't hit our place." A soldier next to him said in confusion.
"Execute the order."
"yes."
Ten minutes later, as the sharp sound of shells piercing the air filled my ears, the soldier lying in the shell-proof hole was convinced. He opened his mouth and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Company Commander, you old man is really awesome. How do you know that the Japs will bombard us with cannons next?"
Xu Rongfang didn't bother to pay attention to him. Wang Ma, the platoon leader next to him, cursed: "Feng Taichun, stop talking nonsense. Open your mouth wide. If you are deafened, you won't be able to hear Adjutant Bai's singing."
After Bai Liusu recovered from her injury, Ouyang Yun used his power for the first time and sent her to the TV station in the name of military liaison. Then, a miracle happened that even he did not expect. Under the packaging and arrangement of the director, this woman who was born with a male duck voice turned out to be a popular singer in North China. She became an instant hit when she sang "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" at a party. Now that he has become a queen-level figure in the minds of the cadet officers and soldiers, they realize that this kind of revolutionary song can indeed boost morale and inspire people. At Ouyang Yun's strict request, Bai Liusu began to record "Man Jiang Hong", "My China" "Heart", "Return from Target Shooting", "On the Songhua River" and other songs. Now, the album "The Great Wall Will Never Fall", which contains many of these songs, has become one of the necessary equipment for marching operations of combat units above the company level, such as Xu Rongfang's company carried along with the company's important archives a portable radio recorder just developed by the Xuebing Army and a cassette of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall". Whether it was eating or working and resting, they sang a white song before and after. The adjutant's songs have become an indispensable part of military life. Among the company, the one who is most obsessed with Bai Liusu is Feng Taichun. He is so obsessed that even the streak on Bai Liusu's face looks like an earthworm. Scar has now become his favorite. Before this battle, what he couldn't forget was that it would be perfect if the little devil could also create such a scar on his face in the next battle...
On Linxiu Mountain, Zoe Kazuo saw from the telescope that the defenders' civil engineering work suddenly stopped. She couldn't help but sigh softly. Then she thought: This is good, fighting the main enemy can reflect the situation. The bravery of our Imperial Japanese Army,
This round of bombardment lasted only five minutes. Five minutes later, Akita Bamboo Soldier once again led his already unorganized brigade to charge.
With the lessons learned from the past, the Akita Bamboo Soldiers dispersed the team this time. More than 600 Japanese soldiers crawled out of the fortifications in batches, carrying the 38 big cover and marched up to the school and army position in an orderly manner. They were still far away from Xu Rongfang Company. Three hundred meters away, as Akita roared, the Japanese army began to charge, screaming,
In the trench, Xu Rongfang calmly held a Maxim. In the round of rapid fire just now, the main shooter of the Maxim died unfortunately. He calmly shouted: "Gu Qiangping, you can start, the others Everyone stared at me, raised their ears, unscrewed the cap of the grenade, listened to my command, and put it closer before firing."
The "bang bang" sound of mortar fire was the first to sound. Under the command of Gu Qiangping, the mortar platoon took the lead in firing, and the "bang bang" explosion sound followed. Accompanied by gunpowder smoke and fire, Japanese soldiers could not help but appear. He fell down, and the sound of shells piercing the air was a reminder to the charging Japanese soldiers. These battle-hardened Japanese soldiers ran faster, and they knew clearly that at this time, the closer they were to the enemy trenches, the more likely they would be. The less likely it is to be hit by a mortar. As for the subsequent bullets and grenades, there is no need to consider them at this time.
"Hit." As the fastest part of the little devil entered the 80-meter attack area, Xu Rongfang shouted loudly, dug his fingers, and Maxim let out a roar of "ta da da". Under his control, A foot-long tongue of fire was spitting out in a fan shape. In front of him, in a larger fan-shaped area, dozens of Japs screamed and fell down. Many of them were hit by the powerful kinetic energy of several consecutive bullets. He flew up and slammed backwards,
Maxim, general machine guns, Wei Qing assault rifles, all the light and heavy weapons of the soldiers of the company opened fire at the same time. At the same time, no less than twenty grenades were thrown out by them, immediately plowing open spaces made of flesh and blood in the Japanese charge formation. , among them, there are five others called snipers. Their shooting positions are chosen very cleverly, and the sights on their muzzles are looking for officers wearing pistols and command knives.
Akita rushed to the back of the team and watched the soldiers in front of him fall down in droves. His eyebrows jumped wildly and his face turned red. Akita was a veteran who had participated in the September 18th Incident and had seen the cowardice of the Northeastern Army. He cannot accept the current enemy in any case. The enemy's firepower is too fierce, and this area has been repaired too flat by them. Except for some artillery pits, there is almost no hiding place. , even if he wanted to shoot at each other, it would be impossible.
The Japanese lasted less than five minutes in this charge. The casualties were too great. In five minutes, more than 200 Japanese fell under the gunshots. This was something that neither Akita nor Zoe Kazuo could accept. In the end, Akita had to issue an order to retreat,
