The structural drawings of the Hankow Fortress, the Turtle Mountain Fortress and the Snake Mountain Fortress are top secret.

Except for Zhang Yuandong, who was responsible for the design and supervision, only Zhong Yi and a few staff officers of the General Staff Department knew, and even Zhu Liangcheng and Sun Liren didn't know the whole structure!

Therefore, not only was Erzi at a loss, but Zhu Liangcheng also didn't know why.

Zhong Yi didn't explain, but he just stood behind the artillery mirror and continued to observe the movements of the little devil.

After about a quarter of an hour, smoke and dust suddenly rose from the horizon ahead, and then thousands of devil infantry appeared in view along the railway line!

Along with the ranks of the devil's infantry, there were also artillery and mortars.

Soon, four 81mm caliber mortars were swinging in the distance.

The devil is still this routine, before the infantry attacks, they must first shell with artillery!

Zhu Liangcheng looked at the distance parameters displayed on the artillery mirror, and said in a low voice: "Tuanza, the devil has entered the strike range of the artillery positions in Guishan and Snake Mountain, do you want to notify the artillery positions to open fire?" ”

"There's no hurry!" Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Wait." ”

When Zhu Liangcheng heard this, he didn't say anything more.

……

Japanese positions.

Komiya Ichiro ordered four 81mm mortars from the artillery squadron directly under the brigade headquarters to line up and aim at the curved trench a thousand meters ahead.

A few minutes later, the shooting Zhuyuan was initially locked.

The squadron leader immediately raised his sword and shouted: "One test shot!" ”

The ammunition man of one of the mortars immediately took a shell from the ammunition box and handed it to the gunner.

The gunner takes the shell, loads it through the muzzle, and as soon as he lets go, the shell slides into the chamber of gravity, and then the primer collides with the firing pin to fire the primer.

Only a tom sounded, and a shell whistled out from the muzzle.

The gunner, the gun commander, the artillery squadron leader, and Komiyayama Ichiro all brushed their heads and looked forward.

After about three seconds, the cannonball whizzed to the ground, blasting a huge cloud of smoke and dust across the wilderness.

Komiyayama Ichiro looked at the impact point, which was about fifty meters away from the curved trench of the Chinese army!

According to the distance between the impact point and the arc trench, the gunners of the four mortars began to nervously adjust the elements.

Soon, the shooting Zhu Yuan had already been adjusted, and the artillery squadron leader drew his saber again, held it high above the top and shouted: "Instant grenade, twenty rapid fire!" ”

The four artillery groups were trained in peacetime and skillfully operated their guns.

Soon, rows of shells whistled and smashed into the trenches a thousand meters ahead.

Five or six minutes later, eighty shells had been fired, and the trenches of the Nationalist army were completely enveloped in gunsmoke.

Komiyayama Ichiro then drew his saber and shouted, "1st Infantry Squadron, attack!" Tao Ci changed ......"

Accompanied by the hoarse roar of Komiyayama Ichiro, more than a hundred devil infantry who were originally lying on the ground jumped up and quickly pulled away from the wave-shaped skirmish.

Then, with a bayonet, he began to rush forward.

After advancing about five or six hundred meters, the smoke of gunpowder that shrouded the positions of the national army gradually began to dissipate.

Komiyayamaichiro raised the telescope, and through the vision of the telescope, he could clearly see that the arc-shaped trench in front of him was already a wolf.

Thousands of meters away, you can faintly hear the sound of screams.

Obviously, the shelling just now caused a lot of casualties to the Chinese police.

The 1st Infantry Squadron advanced about a hundred meters, and the Chinese policemen hiding in the curved trenches opened heavy fire, along with hundreds of rifles, at least two heavy machine guns and four light machine guns.

The dense barrage poured over like a raging storm, and the dozens of devils who rushed in front instantly fell in a pool of blood.

The ghost soldiers who followed up fell down one after another, and then the two heavy machine gun teams behind set up the Type 92 heavy machine guns to provide fire support from the side, and the four grenadier teams that followed up also quickly set up grenadiers to carry out accurate targeted killings of the national army's heavy machine guns in the trenches in front.

The grenadier of the little devil is really accurate!

"Tom, tom!" After two rounds of grenades, the two heavy machine guns in the trench immediately fell silent.

The remaining four imitation Czech light machine guns were also suppressed by the devil's two Type 92 heavy machine guns.

The next moment, more than 100 devil infantrymen who had been lying on the ground jumped up from the ground again, and immediately rushed forward with a roar with a good bayonet.

Seeing this, the corners of Komiyayama Ichiro's mouth immediately bloomed with a contemptuous smile.

The Chinese police are really weak in combat effectiveness, and looking at this posture, the tentative attack of the 1st Infantry Squadron can take this strong trench!

But then again, China's regular army is not much stronger in combat effectiveness!

Through the telescope vision, Komiya Yamaichiro could clearly see that the skirmish line of the 1st Infantry Squadron was approaching less than 100 meters away from the trench.

At such a distance, there is no suspense in the battle.

Sure enough, seeing that the Japanese army was approaching within 100 meters, at least 400 Chinese policemen guarding the trenches retreated in a panic along the communication trench towards the second trench.

Behind the first arc trench, there is a second arc trench.

At this time, Komiya Yamoichiro had already climbed to a nearby commanding height, and he could see it very clearly from a high vantage point.

The second line of trenches of the Chinese defenders, at least a thousand meters from the first, was connected by two communication trenches in the middle, and there were no other fortifications except for two communication trenches, and there was not even a foxhole in the middle! What's even funnier is that the second trench is at least three kilometers away from the bunker complex at the Hankou railway station! At such a distance, there is no fire cover from the pillbox group at all!

Seeing this, the corners of Komiyayama Ichiro's mouth once again bloomed with a disdainful smile!

These Chinese policemen are really scum, they don't even know how to build fortifications, the front and rear trenches are so far apart, and there is not a single firepower point in the middle!

Such a defensive deployment can only be designed by idiots!

With such a defense, it is simply impossible to block the attack of the 1st Infantry Squadron!

As Komiyayama Ichiro expected, more than 100 officers and men of the 1st Infantry Squadron immediately divided into two routes and launched an attack on the second arc trench after breaking through the first arc trench.

With no fire between the two trenches, and no artillery support, the Chinese police were unable to stop the onslaught of the 1st Infantry Squadron.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the second arc trench was also taken!

The battle went smoothly, and the only thing that surprised Komiyayama Ichiro was that the escape skills of the more than 400 Chinese policemen were really first-class, and they exchanged fire with the 1st Infantry Squadron for nearly half an hour.
