"Company commander, what should I do?" The platoon leader asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Let the heavy machine guns and mortars aim at me, especially the eight iron boxes, and the mountain guns behind them, and give me a hard blow as soon as the battle starts, and tell the brothers to concentrate their firepower as much as possible to consume a large amount of their living forces when the war starts, otherwise this broken village will not be able to hold it at all"! The commander of the first company ordered.
"Yes! The mortars quickly revised the coordinates and aimed at the opponent's mountain artillery and iron boxes", shouted the platoon leader, turning around.
"Yes"!
At this moment, Yin Guohua also rushed to the forward position, glanced at a brigade that rushed here from the whole dynasty, and the commander of the first company hurriedly said: "Battalion commander, it's dangerous here, you better go to the village to command, just leave the philosophy to me"!
"Fart, what's different about fighting, by the way, what's that iron box?" Yin Guohua asked.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it either." The commander of the first company spoke.
"It's a tank, and the mortar will blow up fiercely, and if it can't be blown up, it will be a big trouble." Chen Liang said.
"You know this thing"? Yin Guohua asked.
"When I was in Wuhan, I heard that this thing is invulnerable and even mortars can't be destroyed, there are mobile batteries and heavy machine guns on it, I heard that only direct hits of anti-aircraft guns and mountain artillery can destroy it, if our mortars can't blow it up, there is only one way...
"What's the solution"? Yin Guohua said with a stern face.
"Only with cluster grenades close to the tank and blow up under the tank, but once their heavy machine guns and infantry behind the tank, basically no one can survive"! Chen Liang said.
"Pass my order, once the battle starts, the mortars will take the lead in striking the eight tanks below and the mountain artillery of the devils, the machine gunners will aim at the tanks, and the infantry will be stopped by Lao Tzu, and the second squad will prepare grenades"!
"Yes"!
"Battalion commander, let's go in a shift"! Chen Liang said.
"Battalion commander, let's go"! Many soldiers in the first squad spoke.
"Look at the effect of the shelling in a while, what are you anxious about? Naturally, I can use you, obey orders"!
Saying that, this Japanese army brigade was only a mile away from Yin Guohua's battalion, and all the mountain artillery also stopped at this time, and the captain Osaka took a telescope to take a closer look at this small village not far away, but saw that there were some troops around this village that they had never seen, not only the number was unknown, but everyone was wearing an Adrian steel helmet they had never seen, Osaka smiled: "Sure enough, it is a main force of China, ordering the infantry to prepare to charge, and the artillery to mark the target and prepare for bombardment"!
"Hey"!
As a result, the Japanese army was also moving rapidly, dozens of mortars in front were being installed rapidly, and the mountain guns in the back were also aimed at the village.
Yin Guohua took a look at the binoculars, turned around and said, "Is the mortar aimed?"
"Report to the battalion commander, all mortars are ready"!
"Boom to Lao Tzu"!
"Yes"!
"Artillery preparation".
"Put"!
In the sound of uniform orders, dozens of mortars of the first battalion opened fire in an instant.
"Boom"
"Boom"
A series of explosions instantly broke the tranquility of the dawn, and four or five flames instantly lit up in the mountain artillery group that had just been aimed at the back of the Japanese brigade, and five or six Japanese soldiers were instantly submerged in the sea of fire, especially the freshly unloaded shells on the side of a mountain artillery were fired and hit directly, and the shells that were originally about to fall on the heads of a battalion exploded violently behind their own troops, and in the terrible firelight, the scattered bodies of dozens of Japanese soldiers rose into the air and went back to see their emperor completely.
At the same time, about five or six mortar shells fell directly around the three tanks in the Japanese brigade, and some Japanese troops in the surrounding area were directly lifted into the air, and one shell directly hit the turret of a tank. However, the tank that was hit roared and drove directly towards the small tiled house, and then the shells above the tank slowly rotated and aimed at a private house in Chen Wafang.
"Boom"! Hearing a dull cannon sound, a slightly taller house at the entrance of the village exploded in an instant, and the three soldiers on it flew down in an instant, and at this moment, several tanks in the field also accelerated and rushed over.
"Put"
"Boom"
"Boom"
For a while, the artillery roared loudly, and the mortars of the first battalion were aimed at the several iron boxes that rushed towards them, but the eight tanks had already rushed out of a distance of several hundred meters, and the curved fire of the mortars and mortars could no longer carry out effective bombardment, and even if they bombarded, they could not really pose any real threat to these thick-skinned tanks.
At this moment, the prepared Japanese mortars also launched a more intense shelling at this time. The position of the first battalion instantly turned into a sea of fire. In the sound of artillery, a large number of soldiers completely slept on the land of Lunan and could not return home. However, this is only the beginning.
The Japanese infantry was closely following the tanks in front of them and rushing towards the positions of the first battalion.
However, at this time, they were still four or five hundred meters away from the Japanese army, and the 79 rifle could not achieve effective fire at all, Yin Guohua ordered: "Mortar, suppressive fire, mortar position opposite the target, heavy machine gun ready to fire"!
"Can't fire, battalion commander, after firing our firepower will be exposed, and then even the heavy machine guns will be gone"! Chen Liang on the side hurriedly dissuaded.
"What"?
"Now the heavy machine guns will be exposed once they fire, and then they will become live targets for those tanks, and we can only wait for them to get closer!" Chen Liang said hurriedly.
Yin Guohua looked at the Japanese troops who were still hundreds of meters away, and then revised the order: "Pass the order, replace all the heavy machine guns with steel core bullets, and wait for my order to fire"!
"Yes"!
At this moment, in the Japanese camp, there was a rapid artillery fire, and dozens of mortar shells once again bombarded the positions of the first battalion. At this moment, all the mortars of the 1st battalion hiding behind the earthen wall also opened fire at this time, and dozens of shells went straight to the Japanese mortar positions in the field and smashed down.
"Boom" only heard a series of violent explosions, most of the Japanese mortars were instantly reimbursed, and even the Japanese infantry in the Japanese field was seriously wounded, at this moment, Chen Liang shouted again: "Hurry up and move to the rear, the infantry is ready"!
Some artillery soldiers not far away looked at each other, but a small squad leader was angry that they came in front of the battalion commander's order, and were about to ask Yin Guohua, but Yin Guohua turned around and scolded: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and do what he says"!
"Yes"! The artillerymen quickly transferred, a group of artillery just transferred, a few shells fell on the artillery position that had been transferred, only then thanked this squad leader who passed the order without permission really saved their lives, that is, Yin Guohua on the side also looked at the little squad leader in front of him with a suspicious face, and said with a look of appreciation in his eyes: "You kid can, how do you know that they will hit our artillery positions next"?
"It's just a fluke". Chen Liang smiled, but he thought in his heart that the diary that Chen Zhongshu gave them at the beginning would be so effective, if he had a hard encounter with them, I am afraid that their mortars and heavy machine guns would have been reimbursed at this time.
At this moment, the Japanese army in front was only about a hundred meters away from them, Yin Guohua picked up a light machine gun and shouted: "Brothers, give Lao Tzu a hard beat to these sons of bitches"!
As soon as the words fell, Yin Guohua opened fire almost simultaneously at the first company on the front and the second company on the side, and for a while, the six Hatch Chase heavy machine guns of the two companies fired frantically at the Japanese troops about 100 meters from different positions and angles at a rate of fire of 400 rounds per hour, and there was a salvo of 20 light machine guns and rifles.
The dense bullets flew towards the Japanese soldiers rushing in like a torrential rain, and the brilliant blood flowers bloomed in the morning light, and the Japanese troops who rushed in front suddenly fell in large pieces, especially the heavy machine guns that were replaced with steel-core armor-piercing shells splashed the sparks of the tanks in front.
However, although the armor of the Japanese tank was weak, it was not paper paste after all, and the heavy machine gun only caused many bullet marks to it, but it could not pose a substantial threat, and at this time, the tank also began to fire.
"Boom"
"Boom"
In a series of loud noises, a large number of soldiers of the Yunnan army at the front of the company suffered huge casualties, and what was even more serious was that the two heavy machine gun positions were directly hit by the Japanese artillery fire, and the remaining heavy machine guns did not dare to fire easily. After such a heavy firepower, the Japanese army was no longer as rampant as before, and they all hid behind the tanks and attacked the positions of the first battalion.
"Battalion commander, mortars and heavy machine guns are useless, we can only rely on grenades, let's get on"! Chen Liang said.
"The heavy machine gun opened fire on Lao Tzu, blocked the infantry behind, and prepared in one shift and two shifts"! Saying that, Yin Guohua suddenly leaned out again and fired wildly with a light machine gun, and the heavy machine gun that had just stopped also fired wildly at this time, and the dense bullets fired at the Japanese tank, and the infantry behind the tank that was suppressed by the dense bullets for a while could hardly raise their heads.
"Up"! Chen Liang shouted, holding a few bundled grenades in his hand, he took the lead in climbing out of the earthen wall and rushing straight to the Japanese tank in front, and then more than 20 soldiers just turned over and rushed out towards the Japanese tank roaring in front.
"Boom"!
There was another burst of intensive artillery fire, and the soldiers who were originally covered by fire were killed in large pieces, and the villages they relied on were all turned into ruins under these artillery fire, and what was even more serious was that the three heavy machine guns that had just fired were locked by the Japanese firepower and turned into flying ashes in the sound of artillery.
When he heard the cannon behind him, Chen Liang knew that something was wrong in his heart, but could he still retreat now? The answer is undoubtedly no, Chen Liang shouted and rolled quickly, narrowly dodging a wave of deadly bullets that came from him, while the other sergeants were not so lucky, most of them were beaten into a hornet's nest by the dense rain of bullets...
