Heroes of the War of Resistance

If it weren't for the fact that the two battlefields were still a little far apart, I'm afraid the little devil would have suspected that the position they were attacking at the moment was already empty.Did the shame camp hiding in the mountains escape the mountain overnight?

But the facts quickly proved that the little devil was still wrong.From the beginning to the end of the Shame Camp, there was really no escape.Even from top to bottom, they are determined to follow up the little devils who are encircling and suppressing the mountain to the end.

Accompanied by Xu Mingzhi holding a rifle, he aimed at a little devil and finally pulled the trigger and said "hit". On the blocking position of the Xuesha Battalion, the machine gun and rifle opened fire immediately.The little devil who was in charge of the feint attack soon rolled down the mountain screaming.

For a moment, the gunshots from one side of the blocking position quickly covered the gunshots and explosions from the other side.All the officers and soldiers of the Shame Battalion knew that the real bitter battle was about to begin.Who can win the final victory depends on who can persist until the end!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Major Miura, who sent two squadrons to feint for the first time, heard the dense gunshots and explosions from the nearby mountains, and was somewhat worried about whether the large defensive troops had already escaped from the position he was attacking this time.

If this happens, then the military exploits he wants to earn this time may be greatly reduced.Even Major Miura secretly worried that the soldiers who were in charge of reconnaissance last night might not have discovered the broken Chinese soldiers who had retreated into the mountains overnight.

If it were the same as before, if there were really blocking soldiers in the hilltop position, they should have fired a long time ago.But for the two attacking squadrons, the more they went up, the more worried they felt.Because, they can see that there are defenders on the position.

If you charge too high now, it will be even more dangerous to turn around and retreat later.If they really want to start shelling from the rear, they must also be careful. After the artillery squadron fires, will they throw shells on their heads?After all, they had already rushed halfway up the mountain.

Until Xu Mingzhi ordered the troops to fire back, the little devils who rushed to the front were undoubtedly the most unlucky.After being hit by a bullet, he tumbled down the mountainside.Most of the little devils who followed behind quickly lay down on the ground.

The problem is, it's impossible for these little devils lying down for too long.Wait for the artillery reconnaissance at the rear to mark the location of the machine gun fire in the position, adjust the corresponding artillery angle, and the shelling will start immediately.

At this time, if the little devil who was in charge of the feint attack hadn't withdrawn from the safe range, he might be bombed by mistake.Not being beaten to death by the officers and soldiers of the Xuesha Battalion on the ground, but dying under the fire of one's own people, the feeling must be even more aggrieved.

Compared with the Japanese squadron in charge of the feint attack, it was in a dilemma. Major Miura, who was watching the battle below, said with satisfaction: "Hey! Judging from the intensity of the gunfire, there are at least hundreds of that troops on the left and right sides. Defense."

On the blocking position, there is actually only one company with less than two hundred soldiers.Of course, the firepower of this company should be stronger than that of any national army company, and it sounds like there are more people.

Only two companies were in charge of the frontal positions, and Xu Mingzhi also arranged for two main companies to defend the two flanking positions.As for the logistics company, it will be full of reserves in this battle, and will reinforce positions that need reinforcement at any time.

Even if the little devil, who was pinned down by Hu Biao at this moment, managed to get around the back of the Xingshi Camp garrison, and wanted to successfully attack the center of the garrison, I'm afraid it would not be so easy.On the mountain behind the frontal position, Xu Mingzhi also deployed defensive troops.

"Your Excellency Captain, the artillery squadron has been prepared and can start shelling at any time!"

"Order the feint attacking troops to retreat, and the attacking troops are ready to charge. As soon as the artillery fire stops, launch a general attack immediately!"

"Hi!"

The little devils who were suppressed on the mountain pretended to attack the troops, and they also knew that they could not retreat immediately after a fight, and had to stalemate with the troops defending the position for a while.Only in this way can the reconnaissance troops behind mark the positions of the machine guns on the position as much as possible.

If you want to capture this kind of mountain with strong fortifications, the threat of machine guns is very great.In contrast, rifles are less of a threat.The most important thing is that the Japanese soldiers who have fought against the soldiers of the national army several times know very well that most of the soldiers of the national army are not good at marksmanship.

In the confrontational battle, the little devil's marksmanship is far better than the soldiers of the national army in terms of rifle shooting alone.This is not bragging for little devils, but what many little devils have personally experienced.On the other hand, machine guns, even if they are inaccurate, are easily hit by stray bullets.

A string of bullets is fired, and someone is always hit.Especially in the process of upward attack, even if the little devil advances in a battle formation with cat waists, it is easy to be hit by machine gun bullets.That would increase the casualties of the attacking force.

As the Japanese army developed a north-south invasion strategy, many Japanese generals had discovered that the more territory they occupied, the more troops they had to allocate.Gradually, the army units formed for the invasion earlier seemed to be insufficient.

Even if the Japanese army re-expanded new divisions and army units in the country, it would take a certain amount of training time. Biqugexx In this case, the generals will also ask their commanders to reduce combat casualties as much as possible.

Obtaining the greatest victory at the least cost is the victory that many Japanese commanders pursue!

After emptying the bullets in the rifle, Xu Mingzhi immediately gave an order: "Notify the companies, let the machine gunners quickly move their positions, and the riflemen continue to shoot. When the little devil retreats down the mountain, aim and shoot me, and beware of the little devil's shelling."

"Yes!"

After the order was conveyed, the machine gunners raised their machine guns and quickly shifted their shooting positions.As for the heavy machine gun and the rest of the machine gunners who have not yet fired, they continue to wait for orders.They all know that this offensive and defensive battle has just begun!

Seeing the whistle of retreat coming from the bottom of the mountain, many attacking little devils began to retreat, and the soldiers of the Xuesha Battalion who watched the battle also smiled and said: "The little devils have retreated! It shouldn't have happened so soon!"

"Hide it well, the little devil is about to bombard! Do you see the bomb defense hole next to it? Once the little devil shells, go inside quickly. When the little devil's artillery fire shifts, immediately rush out to reinforce the fortification and prepare to fight back. Remember it ?"

"Remember, monitor!"

In order to fight this defensive counterattack well, Xu Mingzhi convened a meeting with the company and platoon leaders of each company after dawn to analyze the enemy's situation and arrange combat tasks.After the meeting, the company platoon leader called the squad leader for a meeting, emphasizing battlefield discipline and precautions.

Among them, the squad leaders all remember the "three-axes" tactic that the little devils are best at using when attacking.It wasn't until this moment that these squad leaders really understood why they had to dig anti-battery holes in the trenches when they dug the trenches earlier.

Hu Biao, who dared to rescue them from the prison since the day the fortification was excavated, had long expected such a day.Thinking of this, these squad leaders are full of admiration for Hu Biao, and feel that Hu Biao can be said to be exhaustive!

But they didn't know at all that the reason why Hu Biao emphasized the importance of trenches was to prepare for the worst.If you don't take precautions in advance, it may not be too late for the little devil to send a large army into the mountain to encircle and repair the fortifications.

Digging trenches is hard work, but it's better than cramming.What's more, if the fortifications are dug in advance, no matter when the little devils attack, they can serve as a camp for the defensive side to avenge their shame, and they can sit back and wait for the little devils to attack.

Looking at the soldiers who retreated quickly but were still hit and fell to the ground, Major Miura, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, looked somewhat unhappy.But he also knew that this was the cruel side of war.

Even if he and his subordinates are confident in capturing the enemy's defensive positions, casualties are still unavoidable.Anyway, in the hands of the officers and soldiers of the Xuesha Battalion defending the position, their weapons are not fire sticks, and the bullets will still kill people.

Observing the retreat of the troops through the binoculars and confirming that there is no one on the mountainside, Major Miura immediately said: "Notify the artillery squadron to start shelling. Attacking troops, launch an attack immediately after the artillery fire extends."

"Hi!"

Accompanied by Major Miura's order for shelling, the artillery squadron, which was already ready for shelling, did not build redundant artillery positions at all.There are not many places in the mountains suitable for building artillery positions, so why bother?

This kind of self-confidence or pride eventually cost them a heavy price.These Japanese artillerymen who cooperated with the encirclement and suppression had no idea that the Xuesha Battalion in this encirclement and suppression had far more artillery than them.

The squadron leader of the Japanese army, who was in charge of the artillery command, held the command flag in his hand and said loudly: "Prepare for shelling! Three rapid fires, let them go!"

The command flag fell, and the Japanese soldiers in charge of manipulating the artillery immediately fired the cannon bolt to fire the shells stuffed into the barrel.On the other side of the mortar position, the artillerymen dropped the shells they were holding.Two kinds of shells flew alternately towards the positions guarded by the Xuesha Battalion.

'boom! '

When Shao Zuo Miura gave the order to shell, he looked at the little devil who had already fled down the mountain, and Xu Mingzhi immediately ordered: "Get ready to avoid the artillery fire! The little devil is about to fire. Except for the security personnel, everyone enters the artillery hole, hurry up!"

As soon as the words fell, there was the roar of artillery being fired in the distance, followed by the first round of shells, which hit the defensive positions of the two companies.The position where the machine gunner was before was the impact point of the shell.

Looking at the continuously collapsing machine gun positions amidst the explosions, the machine gunner who had already moved before said with a look of rejoicing: "Damn, the shells of the little devil are really accurate. Fortunately, they run fast, and they will be finished without difficulty." !"

"Hey! Don't worry, don't look at the little devils fighting now, when our artillery company counterattacks, they will be caught blind!"

Soldiers who understand the defensive deployment know more or less that the Xuesha Battalion has temporarily formed an artillery company.Most of the soldiers selected are fighters who can operate artillery.The artillery equipped by the artillery company was also seized from the military ranks by them in the previous round.

In terms of the number of cannons, it must be more than the little devil's cannons at the moment.This also means that once the artillery force of the little devil is destroyed, the artillery company of the Xuesha Battalion can even provide artillery support to the defenders of the position.

At that time, the little devil who is on the attacking side will probably have to be on tenterhooks.Compared with the Xuesha Battalion, which has trenches as cover, unless the shells directly hit the trenches, it is unlikely to injure the soldiers in the trenches.

Infantry artillery and mortars are naturally not as powerful as heavy artillery.If the little devil is using a heavy artillery at this moment, then a heavy artillery shell will fall, and there will be no living people within a few meters of the explosion area.

Even some soldiers who don't know how to defend against artillery may be directly shocked to death when lying on the ground to defend against artillery.In many cases, the national army serving as the defensive side will suffer heavy casualties or even collapse once it encounters heavy artillery bombardment by the Japanese army.

The soldiers who hid in the bomb defense cave did not show any expression of fear when they heard the explosion sound from the position outside the cave.As former prisoners of war, most of them have experienced more violent shelling and bombing scenes than this.

Compared with the Japanese artillery fire encountered on the frontal battlefield in the past, the shelling scenes played by the Little Devils Artillery Squadron are not enough to watch.In the eyes of others, the Shame Battalion is a unit made up of prisoners of war, but why not a unit made up of veterans?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The so-called "new recruits are afraid of artillery, and veterans are afraid of machine guns" is more applicable to the anti-Japanese troops of this era. Biqugexx compared the heavy artillery on the frontal battlefield, the mortars and infantry artillery of the little devil in front of him, the soldiers of the Xuesha Battalion were very calm.

As the defensive side, they have the fortifications built in advance as cover, and even the anti-gun holes were dug in advance in the fortifications.Even if shells fell into the position, the soldiers who hid in the anti-bomb holes were still safe and sound.
