Chapter 35: Wheel War

The Japanese army simply did not give the cannon fodder enough time to dig trenches and repair fortifications.

After the vanguard was routed, only a dozen minutes later, the first round of shelling began.

Although only 50mm grenadiers and 81mm mortars were involved in the shelling, they still caused heavy damage to the cannon fodder.

Because the fortifications have not yet been repaired.

In just five minutes of shelling, the cannon fodder regiment paid hundreds of casualties.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese launched their first exploratory attack.

Although the Japanese attack was quickly repulsed, the ensuing second round of artillery fire caused even more heavy casualties to the cannon fodder regiment.

In particular, the machine guns of the cannon fodder regiment, the only two remaining heavy machine guns were destroyed.

This was followed by a second attack, in which the Japanese threw in a small detachment.

The second attack of the Japanese army was still easily repulsed, and after regaining their position, the cannon fodder seemed to have become numb to the casualties, although the comrades around them fell one by one, but the cannon fodder could still laugh.

The brothers who are not spicy and want to be numb, and even have the mood to tease each other.

"Turtle son drops." To Ma scolded, "It looks like you can't survive today." ”

"Wang Bagai, don't say such frustrating words." Bu smiled and said, "Your luck is good, you won't die if the entire cannon fodder regiment dies." ”

"Anti-artillery!"

"Anti-artillery!"

"Ninety-two infantry artillery!"

The roar of the dragon article rang out again.

As the sky gradually darkened, the caliber of the Japanese artillery gradually increased.

From the very beginning, the 81mm caliber mortar became the 70mm caliber 92 infantry gun, and then it became the 75mm caliber mountain artillery, or projectile artillery.

Nantianmen was blown up to dust.

……

It is about two kilometers away from Nantianmen.

Two Japanese officers were holding binoculars, looking at the Nantianmen from afar.

"That's them!" The tall Nakasa on the left bit and said, "It's them, I know them!" ”

"Is that them?" The officer on the right is short in stature, but extremely strong, and carries the rank of Dazuo on his shoulders, "They are the ones who played us at Myitkyina airport?" ”

"Yes, that's them!" Nakasa said, "The number of officers in the Shina army who understand the principle of concentrated use of firepower is very small, and the number of officers who know how to build side-fire firepower is even more unique!" ”

"But look at them, it's side-firing fire, and it's a concentrated use of fire!"

"That's them, that's them! Even if they are burned to ashes, I know them! ”

"Yo Xi!" Dazuo nodded happily, and continued, "Then let them turn to ashes on the Nantian Gate." ”

"Captain!" Zhongzuo said again, "I personally ask to personally lead the military flag squadron to launch a decisive attack, strive to take the Nantianmen in the shortest possible time, and then cross the Nantianmen and rush to cross the Nu River!" ”

"No, it's too late." Dazuo shook his head and said, "The fighter plane that rushed to cross the Nu River has been lost, so there is no need for Nantianmen to rush for a while." ”

"Right now, the morale of this group of Chinese troops is high."

"So, there's no need to rush into a head-to-head with them."

"It's better to use wheel tactics to consume their sharpness first."

"When their sharp energy is exhausted, it's not too late for you to lead the military flag squadron to attack!"

"Hello!" Although the Japanese army Nakasa was unwilling, he could only obey orders.

The Japanese army Dazuo turned around and shouted: "Order, the 55th Wing of the Field Artillery and the 11th Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery must speed up, and they must rush to Nantianmen before midnight!" ”

……

The Japanese attack was once again repulsed.

Through the strong light of the flares, you can clearly see the Japanese army retreating.

The cannon fodder still refused to give up, holding rifles and firing continuously, trying to knock down the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who were retreating.

"Stop shooting!" Long Wenwen hurriedly stopped loudly, "There are not many bullets, let's save them, otherwise the bullets will run out, and you can only bite with your teeth!" ”

That's when the cannon fodder stopped firing.

Milong sat down in the crater from the shell and asked, "How many times is this?" ”

Meng was annoyed and said without thinking: "This thirteenth attack of the Japanese army, we have repelled the thirteen attacks of the Japanese army!" ”

"Thirteen?"

Long Wen muttered, his face worried.

Wang Yan said: "Tuanzao, the Japanese army is a wheel war. ”

"On the one hand, it consumes our sharpness, and on the other hand, it is estimated that we are waiting for backup."

"Backup?" Long Wen said in a low voice, "The Japanese army still has backup?" What else can there be backing up? ”

Wang Yan said: "For example, 105mm caliber mountain artillery, field artillery, and even 120mm caliber heavy artillery!" ”

Meng was annoyed, Mi Long and other cannon fodder's faces suddenly changed, 120mm caliber heavy artillery? It's a lot of stress to think about! When that shell fell, it was directly a large crater with a diameter of more than ten meters.

But all the creatures in the crater, whether they are humans or rats, are not left with any slag.

Wang Yan continued: "It's not the worst, the worst is ...... Gas bombs? ”

"Gas bombs?" Meng was annoyed, and the faces of the cannon fodder such as Mi Long suddenly turned pale, poison gas bombs?

Meng was annoyed and said, "You can't be so unlucky, right?" For the sake of a small Nantianmen, the Japanese army was able to commit such a big battle? ”

Before the words fell, the road in the direction of Tengchong suddenly lit up, and even the roar of car engines and horns could be faintly heard.

"Holy shit, the little devil is really here to help?"

I don't know which cannon fodder moaned lowly.

In the next moment, Long Wenwen's voice sounded: "Quick, hurry up to the corpse of the devil to find a gas mask, if you can't find a gas mask, take water and urine and wet the towel and tie it to your face, hurry!" ”

……

Wang Yan's reminder was timely.

As soon as the cannon fodder regiment was ready, the Japanese began a new round of shelling.

In this shelling by the Japanese army, there are even more types of artillery, grenadiers, infantry guns, 75 mountain guns, 105 field artillery, and even 120 heavy artillery!

There are also a variety of shells.

Sulfur bombs, high-explosive bombs, smoke bombs with poison gas bombs in between!

This time, the Japanese shelling lasted for half an hour.

Almost as soon as the shelling stopped, there was an angry roar from the vanguard ahead: "The devil is coming!" ”

Then there was a gunshot from the horn, and you don't have to think about it to know that the vanguard who reported the news must have been killed by the devil.

Although Wang Yan reminded that the cannon fodder had been mentally prepared, they were still easily broken into the position by the Japanese army, because the Japanese army's infantry and artillery coordination was too crazy.

The artillery fire of the Japanese army almost pressed their own infantry!

The slightest mistake and the shells will fall on the heads of their own people.

This has nothing to do with courage, and it has nothing to do with the technical and tactical quality of artillery, only small Japan, which has never taken human life seriously, would do such a crazy thing.

But the benefits of this are also clear.

With this almost suicidal infantry and artillery coordination, a squadron of Japanese troops easily broke into the defensive positions of the cannon fodder regiment.
