Chapter 111: Onslaught Again
Lu Han's face changed and he said, "How is our second line of defense?"
"It can be all repaired this afternoon, and tonight I will prepare for them to retreat to the second line and fight with the Japanese army!" Zhang Chong said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Grappling"? Lu Han was puzzled.
"Grappling is that we use the complex terrain around the second line to use a small number of troops to carry out a harassment war with the Japanese army, let their front army come over, and we attack them from the tail and from the side"! Zhang Chong explained.
"What if the Japanese army crushed our positions in one fell swoop"? Luján worried.
"That's why I'm going to build second-line fortifications, and if we have a second-line fortification, we won't be broken by the Japanese in one fell swoop. I have carefully studied the surrounding terrain, the mountains and lakes are crisscrossed, the terrain is extremely complex, we take advantage of our soldiers are good at fighting jungle warfare, after the Japanese army is put in, we only need to block with a small number of troops, and then use the superior forces to harass their rear, we can achieve unexpected results, not only can effectively delay the Japanese offensive, but also use the terrain to kill and injure a large number of their living forces, which can also alleviate our lack of troops." Zhang Chong explained to the operational diagram.
Luhan nodded and then said, "What is the morale of the brothers?"
"Fortunately, as you know, the brothers have always been highly motivated in the face of the Japanese army, but they have been attacked by the Japanese army for two days in a row, and many of them are already very tired"! Zhang Chong said.
"Now send a report to all regiments, just say that I, Luhan, have reached the front line, you can hold me, Luhan will be glorious with you, and if you can't hold me, Luhan will die with you"! Luján said.
Zhang Chong nodded and said to Xue Zizheng: "Go and send the report"!
Xue Zizheng saluted and then walked down, Zhang Chong hurriedly helped Lu Han to sit down on the side...
The sky gradually brightened, and on this day the sky was drizzling with light rain, and the ground was very muddy, but the strength of the two Japanese brigades directly ignored the weather and drove towards Zeng Zesheng's position and Yang Hongyuan's regimental position again.
Lu Hai took the binoculars and looked at the opening: "Send a report to the brigade commander that the Japanese troops of the two brigades are heading towards the front, and it will take about 20 minutes to reach the first-line firepower belt"!
"Yes"!
As soon as Lu Hai's words fell, a burst of artillery rang out in the direction of the Japanese army's base camp, and dozens of mountain artillery and field artillery roared and fired at Zeng Zesheng's position.
The forward position suddenly burst into flames, and a roar blew up the hats and coats they had placed before, and just when the Japanese artillery sounded, everyone drilled into the anti-artillery holes, waiting for the Japanese artillery to weaken.
At this moment, the Japanese heavy artillery also opened fire, and one after another powerful shells whistled and fell on the position, and each shot landed in a deep pit of half a zhang and dust rising into the sky.
The terrible shock wave was like a heavy hammer and not a single shell fell to the ground, and the soldiers in the anti-artillery hole felt as if they had been hit hard in the chest, and their ears were full of explosions, and some soldiers' ears were even bleeding from vibrations, but they still endured severe pain and held on.
"Hurry up and find the artillery positions of the Japanese army"! Lu Hai said hurriedly.
Everyone immediately touched the place where the Japanese artillery sounded, but at this time all the heavy artillery of Wan Baobang had been loaded, in these mountainous places, it was difficult to lock the Japanese artillery position, and they had almost no good sight here, and the heavy artillery could only get Lu Hai's intelligence support if they wanted to fire, or directly open artillery to support their own positions.
Just 20 minutes after Lu Hai and them touched out, the large force of the Japanese army was only more than 500 meters away from the forward position, and at this moment, Wan Baobang suddenly ordered: "All mountain artillery and heavy artillery are bombarding the first line of fire"!
As soon as the words fell, the artillery regiment of the 60th Army and a field artillery company all opened fire fiercely at this time, and one shell after another accurately smashed into the crowd of Japanese soldiers who were about to charge.
In the roar, many Japanese troops were bombed and flew up in large areas, and the Japanese troops suddenly scattered and hid under the dense firepower, and at this moment, Suzuki Daisa's military order was handed down.
"Regardless of the cost, capture the positions of Zeng Zesheng's regiment and Yang Hongyuan's regiment as quickly as possible"!
As a result, the Japanese troops who had just dispersed had no choice but to get up and attack the position of Zeng Zesheng's regiment and Yang Hongyuan's regiment.
At the same time, the Japanese artillery fire also began to extend the fire, but everyone had already prepared, and although it was difficult to avoid casualties under the rainstorm of Japanese shells, the casualties had been minimized.
At this moment, an aggressive Japanese tank was directly hit by a field artillery shell, and a violent explosion suddenly sounded on the tank, and the shrapnel was smashed to the surrounding ****, and a large number of Japanese troops fell in a short time, and the Japanese tank was also hit and caught fire, and the Japanese driver inside hurriedly ran out.
The same Japanese casualties under the targeted bombardment of the 60th Army should not be underestimated, but the Japanese army at this time came up with the same tactics as the 60th Army, that is, to quickly rush to the position and staggered with the soldiers of the 60th Army, and then the artillery fire of the 60th Army will lose its power, but in this way, the Japanese artillery fire will inevitably lose its threat.
However, the Japanese artillery opened fire fiercely when the Japanese army launched a charge, in order to give full play to the power of the artillery fire, and the best thing was to blow up all the 60 Corps on the position, and even if they could not be killed, they would be defeated.
However, this is just their wishful thinking, although they have casualties under these fierce artillery fire, they are not as big as the Japanese imagined, many soldiers are hiding in the anti-artillery holes waiting for the Japanese to step on the front line and then come out to defend.
At the same time, the 82 heavy mortars concealed in the third-line positions also opened fire at the Japanese infantry, especially those hiding behind the Japanese tanks.
Ten minutes later, when the Japanese army had left nearly 300 corpses behind and finally set foot on the position they had dreamed of capturing, a company commander on the hidden hillside on the flank said: "At many points, at many points...
He was talking about the Japanese troops who stepped on the front-line position, and just when about one squadron and two tanks of the Japanese army drove onto the first-line position, the company commander in the flank position said again: "Little devil, go to death"!
Before the words fell, I saw that the company commander suddenly pressed the detonator in his hand, but unexpectedly, there was no explosion on the front-line position.
"What's going on"? The company commander said urgently.
"Maybe the line was blown up by the devil, I'll go down and pick it up"! A soldier spoke.
"If you go up like this, you will be sent to death, and your position will be exposed, so wait and see," the company commander said.
In the regiment headquarters, Zeng Zesheng also said angrily: "Why didn't the explosives explode?"
"Maybe the line was blown up...
"Inform everyone to prepare for the enemy"! Zeng Zesheng said solemnly.
"Yes!"
Just as most of the Japanese troops stepped onto the first-line position, a battalion stationed in the second-line position returned to their respective posts and opened fire.
The charging Japanese army fell in large numbers, but the current Japanese army is inspired by Suzuki like a herd of crazy bison, even if it braves the rain of bullets, it has never stopped.
Yamashita Suzuki Osa looked at the battle situation ahead through the binoculars and said: "Pass the order, and when the forward troops rush to the second-line position of the Chinese army, let the artillery bombard fiercely"!
"It's... Osa... will blow up their own people"! A Japanese soldier said.
"Don't I know? Tell the order to go down"! Suzuki Daisa glared at the man fiercely and said.
"Hey"!
When the two armies were only more than 10 meters apart, a battalion stationed here engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the Japanese troops, and groups of Japanese troops suffered extremely heavy casualties under the fierce machine gun fire, and the soldiers of the 60th Army on the second-line position were also hit by the strong fire of the Japanese army, and the casualties gradually increased.
The second-line position suddenly tightened, and at this moment, the anti-aircraft guns on both sides invariably locked onto a tank that had just blown off a heavy machine gun position.
"Put"!
A gunner shouted, and a soldier next to him jerked the rope in his hand, and the battle gun rang out violently, and two shells whistled down.
With a roar, one shell missed the crowd of infantry, but the other hit directly above the tracks on the flanks of the tank.
In the roar, the Japanese tank shook violently and stopped moving forward, but kept turning the main gun above to fire at the soldiers above, and at the same time, the coaxial machine gun also fired as if the bullet did not cost money.
"Put"!
The man shouted again, but this time without any mistakes, the shell hit the Japanese tank hard, and the sharp shell directly hit the core of the tank, and in the explosion, a violent explosion suddenly sounded inside the Japanese tank, and then it did not move in the smoke.
Just when the Japanese army approached the distance of five or six meters from the forward defenders with the help of firepower, the Japanese artillery finally opened fire fiercely at this time, and for a time both the Japanese army and the soldiers of the 60th Army were blown up by the heavy artillery mountain artillery of the Japanese army.
"Withdraw to the third-line position, the battalion commander shouted loudly, and everyone hurriedly retreated to the third-line position to organize defense.
The living people hurriedly retreated to the third-line position, and the two companies on the flanks finally came to strike.
"Hit hard"! A company commander shouted as he opened his mouth while shooting.
Before the words fell, many machine guns and rifle grenades on the side beckoned towards the Japanese troops, and the Japanese troops on the side suddenly fell in large pieces, and when the Japanese troops in the middle were attracted by the fire, the machine guns on the other side also opened fire violently.
Under the heavy fire of nearly six or seven Hatch Cars and more than a dozen Czech-style guns, the Japanese troops organized a counterattack after paying heavy casualties.
Under the obstruction of firepower, the Japanese offensive weakened significantly, but now the Japanese army can be said to be red-eyed, and when everyone retreated to the third-line position, the Japanese army also followed.
