"Whew。。。。。。" The artillery fire hidden on the gun emplacements in the back hill arrived as scheduled.

Fireworks suddenly burst into the front of the 1st Battalion's position, which spanned 1,100 meters, and the puppet army that was caught off guard was suddenly blown up.

As long as it is not a direct hit, even if it is blown up five meters next to the 11-ton Type 89 medium tank, at most it can only shake the tank violently and cause too substantial damage.

But for unprotected infantry, it would be too deadly.

Every shell is accompanied by a few unlucky figures flying into the sky, and artillery, the god of war, is simply an inexplicable existence for infantry without trench protection.

Killed by artillery, that's normal, not dead, that's the exception.

Most of the survival in the shelling depends on luck, and a small part depends on experience.

For example, choose where to hide from artillery fire.

The four tanks were very experienced, and at the moment of being shelled, they simply ignored the puppet army in front of them, and advanced towards the positions of the Chinese defenders at full speed, and the tracks of two of the tanks were already stained with the flesh and blood of the puppet army.

Whether they were dead or lying on the ground to avoid the artillery fire, everything on the route of the Type 89 tank became a decoration on the track.

The muffled sound of the crushed human tissue even overshadowed the roar of mountain artillery shells for a moment.

One second to remember: /or

The creepy human explosion and the splashing of more than a dozen meters of blood fountains stimulated the puppet army, and under the desperate call of the officer accompanying the team, they followed the tank to attack the defender's position.

They are not stupid, knowing that the Chinese's shells will never fall on their heads, and the experience of being shot dozens of people after the first rout also reminds them that retreating is also a death. If you don't want to be hit by artillery and don't want to die, the only way to survive in death is to rush forward desperately and rush to the position of the Chinese defenders, even if it is closer to the defenders' position, the chance of being killed by artillery is smaller.

The soldiers of the 1st Battalion, who were hiding in the anti-artillery holes, were alarmed by the whistle of the guard posts and climbed out of the anti-artillery holes and entered the battle positions to shoot desperately.

In fact, it is better to say that it is an anti-artillery hole, as the squad leader Li said, a dirt pit near the edge of the trench. It is said that there is a protective effect, that is, if the shell falls into the trench, at least it can avoid the air waves running along the trench and not be lifted out of the trench, but if the shell really falls within four or five meters, it will not be directly killed, and it is estimated that it can also be shocked and vomit blood.

After all, the time left for them was limited, and it took the whole battalion nearly an hour to dig this improvised trench, all because of the capture of many Japanese artillery sapper shovels during the raid on the artillery position.

I also have to thank the Japanese army for the perfection of equipment, if there was no such thing, the more than 300 people of the 1st Battalion would not have been able to complete such a project in a short time.

And now, the worst result appeared, the puppet army that was shelled not only did not retreat but launched an attack more resolutely, at this time holding the position is the first priority, even if the anti-artillery hole is simple, it cannot be hidden, as for whether it will be bombed by friendly forces by mistake, it is put second.

One side had to hold the position, the other side had to evade the shelling to capture the position, and the soldiers on both sides fired the bullets in their chambers as fast as they could, and then pulled the bolt to shoot the next shot.

The infantry squad left behind is the most elite infantry squad of each infantry company, and each person has in addition to the Hanyang made by his original equipment, and each person also has two bullets loaded with 38 big covers, which are all captured from the Japanese army, and some of the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders are equipped with submachine guns, and some are equipped with shell guns, which are also the equipment that Liu Lang squeezed out from the death squad and pistol company.

45 submachine guns supported the 1st Infantry Battalion with 10 guns, 8 pistol companies, and 30 shell guns from the 1st Infantry Battalion.

In addition to giving two more submachine guns to the 1st company on the right flank, Wang Hechun basically divided the shell guns into an average score, with 10 guns per company, which could basically reach one per infantry squad, which could be regarded as a disguised increase in continuous firepower.

Because of the short range and limited bullets, the officers and men of the 1st Infantry Battalion were reluctant to fire a single shot, even if they were in great pain from being suppressed just now

But at this moment, human life has become worthless, and shooting bullets from the chamber of the gun is the most important task that everyone wants to accomplish.

There was no time to aim, just shoot the bullet downward, then retract into the trench and shoot it again.

The machine guns of the four Japanese tanks roared desperately, pouring bullets like a torrential rain, and the few light machine guns on the three sides of the 1st Battalion also let out their own roars.

At this moment, no one can be suppressed, not the charging puppet army, nor can the soldiers of the 1st Battalion lying in the trenches.

You may die if you shoot with your head exposed, but the result of not shooting is definitely that you never have the right to shoot again.

Both sides were cornered by the other.

The puppet army in the charge constantly has been hit by bullets and screams in pain, the best luck may only be wounded but not dead, if you can defeat it is possible to live, if you are a little lucky, you can still leave a whole corpse, if you are unlucky, whether you die or not, you may be blown up by the ensuing artillery fire.

The small mushroom-shaped fireworks that explode in the mountains of northern China do not care what they are within the range of their existence, whether they are dead or alive, or flowers and trees, as long as they exist on the surface, they will be destroyed by it.

Cannonballs and bullets dance wildly on this small land, and the accompanying Grim Reaper twists his waist and harvests the souls that have lost their lives in the terrifying catharsis of the terrible energy created by humans themselves.

Hundreds of rifles fired desperately from the puppet army in order to survive, plus eight machine guns on four tank vehicles fired wildly, and it seemed that every breath of air could inhale a bullet.

On the position, many soldiers just raised their heads slightly, and then fell down with a muffled snort, the 29th Army is not too poor, but it is not possible to equip every ordinary officer and soldier with a steel helmet, that is a treatment that only the Central Army has.

Moreover, the cold weather in northern China destined the steel helmet, which is a standard infantry, to become a chicken rib in this land. Even the Kwantung Army will not wear steel helmets in winter, the steel in the ice and snow will freeze your ears on it, and maybe when you take off the steel helmet, you will also bring your ears with you by the way.

In fact, even if there is a steel helmet, it will not play much role in such a close range of mutual fire, and since its birth, it has been mainly used as a protective shrapnel sputter, and it cannot resist the huge kinetic energy brought by the 800 meters per second muzzle velocity bullet. No one grieves, perhaps there is no time to grieve, the living just mechanically put the grenades that had been unscrewed by the side of their dead comrades into their reach.

That's their last heavy weapon.

It can not only deal with the infantry of the two devils, but also the tanks of the little devils.

A tragic offensive and defensive battle that was unexpected by the commanders of both sides was born because of an artillery bombardment.
