Chapter 112: The Fierce Battle is in the Making

The third-line positions were all in full fire at this time, avoiding the firepower of the Japanese army, the number of both sides on the position at this time was not much different, and there were many Czech-style, crooked handles, plus some Type 92 machine guns and Hatch Chase heavy machine guns on the positions of Zeng Zesheng's regiment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In terms of firepower, it was not inferior to a Japanese brigade, although the Japanese army had four or five tanks, but as soon as the fire was fired, one tank was destroyed by the battle defense guns, and the rest of the Japanese tanks did not dare to be too arrogant.

In particular, the positions on both sides dragged most of the Japanese army with the least number of troops, and there was only one squadron that broke through in front, and in the face of a squadron of Japanese troops, the pressure on a battalion defending in front was not too great.

On the contrary, the pressure is on both sides, after all, now that the hornet's nest is stabbed, it is natural to face the siege of a group of hornets.

A squadron of the Japanese army opened heavy fire on the positions on both sides, especially the Japanese mountain artillery and mortars fired fiercely on the positions on both sides.

However, according to Zeng Zesheng's deployment, they did not need to go head-to-head with the Japanese army, as long as the Japanese army fought back for a long time and moved to the next position, or went directly behind the Japanese army.

Sure enough, just as the Japanese were attacking them with heavy fire, both company commanders ordered to retreat and move.

After some indiscriminate bombardment, the Japanese found that the opponents on the high ground on both sides had no movement, thinking that they had been defeated by their fierce firepower, so they turned around and attacked the forward position. At the same time, the Japanese artillery fire also began to extend the fire, and some shells even fell on their own heads.

In the roaring explosion, the casualties of the Japanese army should not be underestimated, and the casualties of Zeng Zesheng's soldiers were not small, but now both sides have been fighting crazy, and the Japanese army is bound to win here, and they must also be strictly defended, unless all the people on the position are killed, no one can retreat, and the Japanese army is too close to them now, and they dare not retreat at will, because once they retreat, the Japanese army will be unable to return to the sky as soon as they break through.

Everyone could only fire fiercely at the Japanese infantry who charged up under the heavy artillery fire of the Japanese army.

At the same time, in the rear of the Japanese army, Lu Hai and the others followed the rumbling sound of the Japanese artillery and finally touched a hillside on the outer edge of the Japanese artillery position. Moreover, judging from the sound of Japanese artillery, there were still a large number of mountain artillery and field artillery positions not far ahead.

Lu Hai marked the map and said, "Send this coordinate to Brigade Commander Wan!"

After a few moments, the signal soldier spoke: "Battalion commander, the telegram has been sent."

Lu Hai nodded and said, "Let's go, go find other artillery positions of the Japanese army"!

Everyone drilled into the dense forest again, and at this time the forward position was in the middle of a fierce battle, the Japanese army charged up, and everyone opened heavy fire with machine guns, and the Japanese army also had a choice and purpose to hit them.

The greatest threat to the Japanese army on the current forward positions is these light and heavy machine guns, especially the 400 rounds per second rate of fire and the huge power of Hatch Chase have caused many Japanese soldiers to have fist-sized bullet holes in their bodies.

The Japanese grenadiers, including the tanks loaming underneath, locked onto the machine guns and opened fire. The same heavy mortars of the 60th Army also bombarded the dense Japanese crowd and the main charging area, and some grenadiers also poured ammunition down.

The Japanese charge also suffered heavy casualties, but the Japanese did not retreat, and the soldiers of the 60th Army on the hill did not retreat.

"Put"!

"Put"!

"Boom"!

"Boom"!

There were two loud bangs, and a Japanese tank that was firing exploded with sparks, and then it was paralyzed, and at this moment, Wan Baobang picked up the telegram in his hand and gave the heavy artillery company the order to fire through the phone.

The tanks of the 60th Army, which had been silent for a long time, finally began to exert their power at this moment, and in the loud sound of the earth shaking the mountains, a thigh-thick heavy artillery shot into the sky, drawing a perfect parabola in the high air, and then smashed heavily on the Japanese artillery position that was firing.

"Boom"!

"Boom"!

There was another series of loud noises that shook the mountains, and the Japanese army's heavy artillery position suddenly turned into a flame, and the Japanese soldiers who controlled the heavy artillery inside were also sent to hell with their great sins in the firelight!

The forward position suddenly lacked the bombardment of heavy artillery, although there was the bombardment of mountain artillery and field artillery, it was much better than just now, after all, the lethality of heavy artillery was almost twice that of field artillery, and when a cannon fell, there were almost no living creatures within a radius of six or seven meters.

"Brothers, the little devil's heavy artillery has been served by us, give me a hard beating, and avenge the dead brothers"! Li Zuo shouted.

The fire of the crowd was once again fierce, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed forward were killed and wounded heavily, but soon the Japanese retaliatory fire also hit the effective fire points on the position.

Some of the machine-gun positions were destroyed under fire, and after the gunners who fired were killed by the shells, some soldiers on the positions on both sides hurriedly ran over and opened fire again with the machine guns that could still be fired.

Just when the Japanese charge was only more than ten meters away from them, Li Zuo shouted: "Grenade"!

Everyone pulled grenades and threw them downward, and in the roar, many Japanese soldiers were blown up, but some undead soldiers fired back with rifles at the people on the position.

However, under so much machine-gun fire, the infantry's single-shot 38 canopy fired at the soldiers occupying the commanding heights and was no different from looking for death, in the dense gunfire, many Japanese troops fell to the ground one after another, but with the bombardment of artillery fire, some Japanese troops still rushed to some weak positions.

The soldiers who were broken through the position did not retreat, but instead fired their last fire on the Japanese troops, or simply pulled the grenades and died with the Japanese troops!

At this moment, on the concealed left flank, the company that had withdrawn earlier opened heavy fire from the hillside at the Japanese troops who were attacking the gap.

Under the effective fire of a series of mortars and heavy machine guns, the Japanese attacking troops suffered many casualties and began to retreat.

The Japanese army was subsequently pinned, and the troops in front were naturally unable to continue to break through, coupled with the desperate counterattack of the 60th Army soldiers on the front position, they had just rushed to the third line, and they really dropped dozens of corpses and were beaten and retreated.

There was no time to build fortifications on the gap in the third-line position, and several soldiers made a plug with some Japanese corpses in a random pile on the gap in the defensive line, and then shot at the Japanese soldiers.

At the same time, when the follow-up troops of the Japanese army had already spread out on the entire second front, the company commander, who had not been able to detonate before, said: "Go down, connect to the line of fire, and up when they retreat!"

"Yes"! Two soldiers hurriedly crawled towards the front-line position...

At this time, on the second-line and third-line positions, the two armies were staggered and full of firepower, and at this moment, three Japanese tanks also opened fire to bombard some machine-gun fire on the forward positions.

The Japanese mountain artillery and field artillery relied on covering, while the main gun of the tank was a precision strike, and once it locked onto the machine gun position, this shell would most likely be smashed on the machine gun position. With a roar, the machine gunner was blown out of the position with the machine gun. And the Japanese infantry was still charging fiercely through the gaps made by the artillery fire.

"Give me firepower to suppress the Japanese tanks, and the anti-aircraft guns will lock and fire for me"! The company commander shouted.

The two anti-aircraft guns quickly locked on, and quickly opened up to shoot at the Japanese tanks, but most of the Japanese tanks moved quickly to the sides or concealed with the help of mountain packs, and the two shells of the anti-aircraft guns failed to hit, but only exploded near the tank.

At the same time, a Japanese tank quickly turned its turret and began to search for and lock on to the location of the anti-aircraft guns, and the two anti-aircraft guns had to be quickly transferred ...

On the front-line position, two soldiers braved the rain of bullets and bullets to finally install the broken line of fire, but now there are no Japanese troops on the position and can only withdraw, after doing this, the company commander said: "Mortars, grenadiers, hit the tail of the Japanese army, heavy machine guns suppress their rear"!

"Yes"!

"Two rapid fires, put"!

"Da Da Da..."

For a time, the four 82 mortars specially equipped with this company opened fire fiercely, mortar shells hit the middle position of the Japanese army, and several heavy machine guns fired bullets like a torrential rain towards the rear of the Japanese troops.

On the position, the Japanese troops who were attacked by the enemy on the flanks and flanks suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and had to divert their fire to attack the rear fire, and the flanks were also pinned down by the fierce fire of a company, and the pressure on the forward position finally gradually weakened.

At this time, Wan Baobang called Zeng Zesheng to confirm: "Are you sure that the Japanese troops are all on the second-line position, and you don't have your own people on the second-line position, right?"

Zeng Zesheng said: "No"!

"Okay, don't let your soldiers enter the second-line positional belt, I'll provide you with fire support"! Wan Baobang said.

"Yes"! Zeng Zesheng put down the phone and hurriedly said to the correspondent: "Hurry up and call the front, you must not enter the second-line position"!

"Yes"!

At the same time, Wan Baobang picked up the phone again and said: "Artillery regiment, field artillery company, target Zeng Zesheng's regiment second-line position, a base number"!

The commander of the artillery battalion who received the bombing order simply thought that he had misheard, and the difficulty of the bombardment was too great, and if one did not pay attention to the shell, it would fall on his own head. However, Wan Baobang's order is also on the front line, and there is really an urgent need for artillery suppression, so he had to say: "Yes"!

"Give you three minutes to correct, if you miss, you will get down and I will replace someone else"! Wan Baobang said.

"Don't worry, brigade commander, our shells are only for devils and not for our own brothers"! The battalion commander spoke.

"Turn the muzzle, aim at the second line of our position, and prepare to reload"! (To be continued.) )
