Chapter 49: The Real Battle (3)
Kuroshima Kiichi, who was leading his troops to command the attack, couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw a very strong firepower point suddenly appear on the defenders' position, and immediately waved his hand at several grenadiers behind him, and when they came to him, he pointed to the trench where Xu Wen was and ordered: "Immediately open the cannon and knock out the machine guns there!" ”
"Hay!" Several devil grenadiers immediately received the order, quickly dispersed and began to set up grenadiers to aim and lock.
However, just when they were about to lock Xu Wen.
Xu Wen, who was originally holding a general-purpose machine gun and was firing fiercely, suddenly stopped shooting, lowered his head with the general-purpose machine gun, and disappeared into the trench without a trace.
Tom tom! Several devil grenadiers still opened fire, and several grenades flew down where Xu Wen was just now, and exploded violently.
Before the smoke of the explosion dissipated, I saw that Xu Wen had already stood up from another foxhole not far away, carrying the bazooka in both hands, aiming at several devil grenadiers with a sneer, and decisively firing them.
With a whoosh, the rockets flew like streamers, accurately hitting several devil grenadiers, and with a loud bang, they were all knocked to the ground.
The most important thing is that the commander of the devil at that time, Kuroshima Kiichi, was less than six or seven meters away from the grenadiers.
The rocket fired by Xu Wen not only destroyed the devil's grenadier, but also blew up the grenades carried by several grenadiers.
Therefore, in the violent explosion, a piece of shrapnel from an artillery shell shot out with lightning speed, which happened to hit the middle of Kuroshima Kiichi's forehead and directly embedded most of it.
Kuroshima Mui, who was commanding his subordinates to attack, was stunned, his eyes subconsciously looked up, and blood had already flowed down the bridge of his nose bone.
"Yaga!" Kuroshima let out an unwilling roar, and then he was unsteady on his feet and fell headlong.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for killing a Japanese soldier and revealing an American Sherman tank!
Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for killing six Japanese grenadiers, and bursting out three Thomson submachine guns and three ** sand submachine guns. ”
"Wow! Killing a devil Zhongzuo, unexpectedly burst out an American Sherman tank, it is really a big explosion of character, although it is not as powerful as the German-style No. 4 tank, but it is more than enough to deal with the devil's Type 95 and ** tanks. ”
Xu Wen couldn't help laughing wildly, immediately put away Bazooka, shifted his position again, and then took out the MG42 general-purpose machine gun again, opened the tripod and lay down in the trench with the machine gun, and began to continue to strafe.
As a traverser, Xu Wen naturally knew that the combat level of devil artillery, especially grenadiers, was very high, so he would not stay in one place for too long, and it was the king to change places with one shot.
Sure enough, as soon as he transferred the machine gun position, the devil's retaliatory firepower came as promised, which frightened Xu Wen into a cold sweat, and took out the bazooka with his hand, killing them in a counterattack.
Subsequently, Xu Wen has been following the principle of changing places with one shot, constantly dodging the retaliatory firepower of the devils, and with the MG42 general-purpose machine gun in his hand with a terrifying rate of fire of thousands of rounds per minute, he shot batch after batch of devils in front of the position.
The system's explosive prompt was almost uninterrupted, and it didn't take long for Xu Wen to kill dozens of devil soldiers one after another, and dozens of submachine guns and light machine guns exploded in the system's portable warehouse.
Xu Wen took out these weapons directly and randomly threw them into the fortifications and trenches in the forward positions, so that the frontier soldiers could pick them up and use them.
In this way, the firepower of the officers and men of the first battalion at the front was greatly enhanced.
Although a young man stepped forward in time to take over the command of Kuroshima Kiichi, he was still unable to advance an inch by the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion of the Independent Brigade, which was getting stronger and stronger.
After being bombarded by Xu Wen with a bazooka a few more times, the devils, who had suffered more than two-thirds of the casualties, had to retreat in a hurry.
Seeing that the devil was repulsed, Xu Wen immediately put away the bazooka and said to the officers and soldiers around him: "Everyone hurry up and find a place to hide, the devil will definitely retaliate with artillery fire next!" ”
Under Xu Wen's urging, the soldiers of the regiment and battalion quickly drilled into the anti-artillery bunkers and fortifications in various places on the position.
At this time, Tani Shofu, Takushi Toshio and others had already set up their headquarters not far from the forward offensive position.
He had been secretly observing the battle situation, and when he saw that his attacking troops had returned, Gu Shoufu, an old devil, immediately ordered with a gloomy face: "Order the artillery wing to fire immediately!" After twenty minutes of rapid bombardment, the 23rd immediately attacked!
The 6th Tank Fighting Vehicle Wing is responsible for the coordinated attack, and must break through the outer defense line of the enemy in front of you in one fell swoop and advance the battle line to the gate of Wuxi! ”
"Hay!" Chief of Staff Tahisa Toshio and 36th Brigade Commander Mitsuru Ushijima bowed their heads one after another to receive orders.
In less than two minutes, a powerful artillery group of 36 70-mm field guns and 12 105-mm howitzers of the 6th Artillery Wing, which was deployed not far behind Gu Shoufu, opened fire.
Dozens of shells fell on the forward positions of a mass in one fell in one go, and a violent explosion occurred.
In an instant, a group of forward positions rose up with a dazzling red light, and the violent blast wave carried countless fragments of shrapnel and flew across the entire position.
Destroying everything on the position, many of the trees used as cover were directly blown off and flying, and wood chips flew everywhere.
Fortunately, these positions were built in advance by the Nationalist Government, and in addition to civil fortifications, they were also mixed with many defensive bunkers made of reinforced concrete.
The officers and soldiers of the regiment and battalion, after receiving Xu Wen's reminder, hid under various bunkers in advance, and most of them dodged the explosion of the devil's shells.
Xu Wen himself, on the other hand, had already retreated to the regimental headquarters of a regiment along the traffic trench, which was safer than the front line.
Standing in the regiment headquarters and looking at the position in front of which quickly became a sea of fire, Chen Tianxiang, the commander of the first regiment, couldn't help but be a little speechless: "Damn, the little devil of the dog day is fierce!" If only we had such a fierce artillery fire? ”
Xu Wen lit a cigarette disappreciatively, and said while smoking: "Don't worry, it won't be long before our independent brigade will have heavy artillery firepower far beyond the Japanese army!"
Besides, tonight I will lead the tank battalion to attack the devil's artillery positions at night and eliminate them in one fell swoop! Let's see what the little devil will attack tomorrow! ”
As he spoke, the phone at the regiment headquarters suddenly rang rapidly, and a staff officer immediately ran over to answer the phone, listened for a while, and immediately turned to Xu Wen and Chen Tianxiang and said: "Brigade seat, regimental seat, Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou called from the east gate and asked us to protect the safety of the brigade!" ”
It turned out that after Zhou Weiguo commanded the Second Regiment at the East Gate to easily repel the feint attack of the 11th Brigade of the Devils, he found that the artillery was loud at the South Gate, and he couldn't rest assured that Xu Wen was relieved, so he called to remind him.
