Chapter 106: It's better to fight!
The 1st squad of 10 soldiers on the front-line position may not have known that the tank in front of them was carrying the supreme commander of the Japanese tank brigade, but it did not prevent them from rushing forward one after another and blowing it up in various ways.
Although they all died in the end either on the way to blow up the tanks or in the trenches where they were shooting at the puppet infantry, they succeeded in the end.
The Type 89 tank of Changzhi Daxiong stayed on the position less than three meters after crossing the first-line trench, and could not advance half a step.
In fact, it was also in disguise that the attack of the puppet army stopped, and almost all the puppet army jumped into the already empty trenches to get a short respite.
At least, on the surface, it's much safer on the inside than on the outside, but it's not really.
At Liu Lang's suggestion, although the trenches were too deep to dig because of time, the structure was complete, and there were three communication trenches leading to the second-line positions further above, although the second-line positions were shallower and could only be used for people to crouch, but the distance from the trenches of the first-line positions was about 40 meters.
And this distance is very fatal for the puppet army occupying the front-line position.
The shells that fell outside the trenches may have reduced their threat by at least 80 percent, but they had to face another problem.
A grenade dropped by a Chinese soldier in the second trench located on the slope.
Seeing that his sharp knife squad was exhausted on the first-line position like this, how could the second lieutenant company commander on the second line not be angry? Seeing the puppet army jumping into the trenches, at the sound of an order, the soldiers hiding in the second-line trenches threw grenades downward.
It has the advantage of height, so that the soldiers don't have to get up at all, unscrew the cover and pull the lead, and throw it down, five seconds, enough time for the grenade to fall thirty or forty meters away, it is better to fall outside the trench, if it just falls into the trench, then the puppet army will have a lot of fun.
One second to remember: /or
This is the same as shelling, it is also a game of probability, but the 1st company with a hundred people is a hundred grenades, and the probability is much greater than that of artillery shells.
More than 20 grenades fell into the trenches, almost driving the puppet soldiers who had just jumped out of the edge of hell crazy. Seeing the grenades smoke and then explode into a cloud of fireworks and blow two or three unlucky eggs away, they could only stand tall and not dare to move in the few anti-gun holes in the trenches.
Jump out, maybe die faster, and they're not stupid?
This is that the grenades of the 1st company are insufficient, if it weren't for the bloody battle with the two infantry brigades of the Japanese army in the early morning, almost half of the grenades have been consumed, and just this round of grenades dropped can reduce the number of these puppet soldiers by at least one-third.
But there was no way, the lieutenant general had already done his best to equip them, and all the infantry carried 8 grenades, which was far more than the average 4 grenades per infantry of the 2nd Division fought in a day.
But this kind of "heavy firearms", which are the most reliable "heavy firearms" of Chinese soldiers, is still insufficient, and last night alone, the entire 1st Battalion consumed as many as 1,000 pieces, and now it seems that the battle has only just begun.
Bloodier battles are yet to come, or, just around the corner.
After throwing out a round of grenades, the young lieutenant could only stare at the blood-red eyes and order everyone to save the grenades and shoot as many bullets as possible to prevent the puppet army from continuing to attack upward.
As for the three communication trenches, the puppet army is naturally not so stupid, and when they enter it, they will enter a dead end, as long as the defenders have light machine gun fire on the stand, they can easily shoot everyone who enters inside.
However, because the mountain artillery is still exploding, and the defenders above are not afraid of death, whoever dares to show their heads, bullets will fly over, and they have lost a round of grenades and have not lost them again, so the puppet army is also quite honestly shrunk and waited on the first-line position of the 1st company.
They were waiting for the shelling to stop and for the support of two other tanks to arrive. After all, the No. 4 tank, having lost its tracks, can now only be used as a fixed point of fire without offensive capabilities.
Speaking of which, it is estimated that the most painful ones now are probably the Changzhi Bear and the other two members hiding in the No. 4 tank. Don't look at them now holding machine guns and tank guns to suppress the fire points above, they look very awesome, but in fact, their hearts are full of apprehension.
First, the shells above are still raining down, and if they don't hit them now, it doesn't mean that they won't blow up in the future. The 6.5-kilogram mountain artillery shell was no joke, although it did not have the ability to penetrate armor, but the Type 89 tank was less than 20 mm thick steel platesγγγγγγ
Now that I think about it, it's really too thin, and those stingy military experts should really let them try it on the battlefield. The Japanese army Shaozuo, who was almost frightened and swollen, didn't know how many times he complained about the tank designers in his heart, and completely forgot that a few minutes ago, he still had a look of "Lao Tzu has a shell, Lao Tzu is afraid of WHO!" "Lao Tzu is the best bull coaxing in the world.
Being killed by a shell with a very low probability of being blown up on the head is still one of them, in fact, what Changzhi Daxiong is most afraid of is that the puppet army brothers run away. He knew that as soon as these gangs ran away, it would be okay if the attack failed, but they threw him into the ground.
By that timeγγγγγγ Looking at the performance of the Chinese just now, thinking in the back seat, the Japanese army Major Zuo also knew that the chance of him being lit with this shell of his own was more than 100%.
As for saying that throwing away this thin shell and running away, it's not that it's reluctant, but now there is still a shell to protect, if it comes out, the artillery fire outside will be full of bullets flying all over the sky, and the Japanese army Shaozo doesn't have the guts!
Therefore, it is not so much that the other two tanks were summoned to support him, but that the Japanese Shaozo wanted to fight hard and support the brothers of the Manchurian Infantry Brigade to capture the position.
In this way, you can not only save your life, but also make meritorious contributions, the best of both worlds!
Compared with the situation of the loss of the first-line position of the 1st Company, the situation of the other two positions is much better, because the five mountain guns are violently bombarding the right flank position, and the puppet soldiers do not have the pressure of being killed if they do not rush up, and they are basically lying more than 100 meters away from the defender's position and shooting at the defenders.
Seeing the two Japanese tanks rumbling towards the right flank position, Wang Hechun's hand holding the gun jumped out of his muscles, and at that moment, he almost couldn't help but order the two machine guns hidden at the top to open fire.
Even if he knew that below the Japanese army had more than 10 infantry guns waiting for the last of his heavy firepower.
But his company can't hold it anymore! There are more than 100 brothers there.
It's better to fight!
