Chapter 687: A Different Way to Clear Mines (Third Update!) )

Looking at it the same, it is densely packed with devils, and the momentum is very huge.

In particular, those tank guns continued to fall on the positions of the defenders of the Tiger Regiment.

Despite the fact that the defenders of the Tiger Regiment had been prepared and had dug and built fortifications in advance, some shells fell in the trenches. 35xs

The explosion killed and injured many brothers of the Tiger Regiment.

This made the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment on the position all hold back a sense of resentment in their hearts.

Wait until the devil is in range.

The mortars directly under the four battalions were ordered to take the lead in firing, and more than 40 shells each time were fired into the crowd of devils one after another.

"Boom, boom! ——”

A red light flashed, and the devil soldiers were killed and injured in an instant.

However, the rest of the little devils rushed faster and fiercer.

With only a few mortars, it is obviously unrealistic to stop the attack of thousands of devils.

Soon, more and more devils, under the cover of tank fighting vehicles, rushed through the mortar fire blockade area in droves.

It further approached the positions outside the east and south gates of the Tiger Bun Regiment.

Seeing this, Liu Zheping and Li Da gave the order to open fire almost at the same time.

Four infantry battalions, plus a machine-gun battalion and a sharpshooter battalion, totaling more than 5,000 fighters, opened fire one after another.

The bullets fired were as dense as raindrops.

Some of the hidden Vulcan Gatling guns even fired a semi-circular barrage.

Suddenly caused a large number of casualties to the little devils who charged in groups.

Under such dense firepower, the devil soldiers fell screaming in pieces.

Soon, the Japanese 3rd Division, the artillery wing directly under the 9th Division, and the artillery squadrons directly under the two infantry wings also opened fire one after another.

This time, Fujita Susumu and Yoshika Ryosuke, two old devils, in order to destroy the Tiger Bentuan in one fell swoop, made immortal war exploits, and swept away the great trouble for the Japanese Empire.

Therefore, in addition to the heavy artillery brigade, which has not yet been put into battle, the field artillery of the two divisions and regiments has been almost completely put into it.

There are more than 300 mortars, infantry guns, howitzers, etc. of all sizes.

The firepower is fierce, you can imagine.

If it weren't for the Tiger Ben Regiment to build solid and reliable fortifications in advance, just this round of bombardment, I am afraid that the defenders would have been crippled.

But that's it, the life of the defenders of the Tiger Ben Regiment is still very difficult.

The powerful artillery firepower of the little devils almost made it impossible for them to suppress them at all.

The firepower was sharply reduced.

The Devil's attacking troops, led by dozens of tanks and combat vehicles, accelerated and swarmed forward.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom! ——”

However, at this moment, a burst of explosions suddenly sounded at the feet of the little devil.

Many devil infantry were blown up and flew out.

There are also some tanks and combat vehicles, which have also fallen on their stomachs.

"Mines!"

"Yaga! These insidious and cunning Chinese defenders actually laid out minefields! ”

In this way, the Japanese offensive had to be terminated again.

"Baga Ya Road! Damn, really hateful! ”

After learning that the Tiger Ben Regiment had arranged a minefield in front of the position in advance, Fujita Jin, the old devil, was almost furious.

Because of their firepower, they have suppressed the enemy army to death. At the same time, the attacking troops were only more than 300 meters away from the forward position of the Tiger Regiment, almost close at hand, and they could rush through it in a few breaths.

However, it was because of this hateful minefield that their attack had to be aborted.

Even in the process of retreating, the Tiger Ben Regiment took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and there were countless casualties.

"Fujita-kun doesn't need to be angry, judging from the attack just now, the Tiger Ben Regiment is nothing more than that.

If it weren't for this minefield, our attacking forces would have been on their ground. Ryosuke Yoshika explained.

"Having said that, we should not take it lightly, after all, according to reliable information, the Tiger Regiment has a sizable artillery team and a formed tank fighting vehicle team.

And the attack just now, the two hole cards of the Tiger Ben Regiment did not seem to be exposed. ”

"Hmm!" Yoshika Ryosuke nodded thoughtfully: "The reason why the Tiger Regiment did not expose these two hole cards is obviously because it is afraid of our artillery power.

Therefore, in my opinion, as long as we solve the problem of this minefield, then if we want to destroy the Tiger Buntuan, it will be just around the corner! ”

"Hmm!" Fujita Shin also nodded: "Then according to Ji Jiajun's opinion, what should we do now?" ”

Ryosuke Kiga knew that Fujita Jin was talking about the minefield, so he said: "This minefield is just in front of the forward position of the Tiger Regiment.

The use of ordinary demining methods is too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Second, the Tiger Regiment will certainly not watch our sappers clear the mines, and will definitely obstruct them.

We can't always use powerful firepower to suppress it, and we can't suppress it.

Therefore, we must change the way we do demining. ”

Seeing that Ryosuke Yoshika's voice suddenly stopped, Fujita Jin hurriedly asked, "In what way?" ”

"This minefield is not too big. We could have used carpet bombing to detonate all the mines in this area.

Of course, we would waste a lot of shells in doing so.

But in my opinion, as long as the Tiger Ben regiment can be completely annihilated, even if it wastes more shells, it will be worth it!

Because His Excellency the Commander, and even the base camp, have given such an order! ”

"Yo Si! Ji Jiajun Takami! If we can wipe out the Tiger Regiment in one fell swoop this time, your 9th Division should be credited with the first credit! ”

……

According to Yoshika Ryosuke's proposal, the artillery fire of the two divisions began to concentrate on the vast area of the forward position of the defenders of the Tiger Regiment.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! ——”

The shells are dense, as if they don't need money, and they keep falling.

The deafening sound of explosions came and went; Suddenly, the red light soared into the sky, and the smoke and dust filled the air, as if the end of the world was coming.

"What kind of plane is this little devil?"

Xu Ming, the commander of the second battalion, watched the little devils fire their artillery, and thought that they planned to continue the attack, but it turned out that he aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the area in front of their position.

He couldn't help but be puzzled.

"Little devil, this is demining!"

Liu Zheping, the commander of the first battalion, frowned, seeing the little devil's intentions.

"Demining?"

After Liu Zheping's broadcast, Xu Ming also reacted quickly.

Indeed, under the almost carpet bombardment of the little devils, mines are constantly being detonated in the minefield.

And it was the secondary explosion caused by the mines here that made the bombing of the little devils look even more terrifying.

"Just demining has created such a big battle. It seems that in order to deal with my tiger group, the little devil has also made a bloody investment. Xu Ming muttered to himself in a low voice.

"The shelling of the little devils is going to stop, and the attack should be launched immediately, pass the order and get ready for battle!" Seeing that the devil's artillery fire weakened, Liu Zheping's eyes froze, and he slowly spoke.
