Chapter 959: One Move Deadly (First Update!) )
Above the position, eight heavy machine gun emplacements made of sandbags were distributed in the most conspicuous positions.
The machine gun was mounted inside, and the muzzle of the black hole hole protruded from behind the sandbag, pointing directly at the position of the third battalion.
The machine gunner hid in the bunker, and someone was half-crouching, staring around with a wary face. Someone is lying down, replenishing the physical strength expended during the day and recuperating for tomorrow's attack.
Most of the riflemen leaned in the trenches, hunched up, their rifles in their arms, and their eyes closed to replenish their strength.
Less than a third of the riflemen lay on the edge of the trenches, staring ahead with a wary expression.
Twenty meters behind was the artillery position, all eight mortars were erected, their muzzles held high, ready to fire at any time.
The gunners sat back to back or lay down, almost all of them falling asleep.
There are infantry in front of it, even if the Eighth Route Army really dares to kill and sneak attack the position, the infantry can buy enough time for the artillery to react.
So these gunners slept very soundly and were not worried at all.
Three hundred meters behind is the second line of defense of the Japanese army, and the devils above are more relaxed.
There were less than ten sentinels on guard, and the rest were all asleep in the trenches.
Most of the garrison team was in front of them, and after being attacked by the garrison regiment, they would definitely be able to block it for a while, but it was really impossible to stop them before it was their turn.
So they, like artillerymen, have plenty of time to react to possible surprises.
At one o'clock in the morning, the devil sentry couldn't help but start yawning, and many people's eyelids began to fight.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
A dull series of explosions, like thunder, suddenly reached their ears.
The guard post seemed to be frightened, and its half-squinted eyes quickly widened, and it was very vigilant to look at the location of the explosion.
The night was too dark, and the sound was two hundred meters away, and nothing was seen.
"There's something flying over my head......" one of the sentries shouted with his head held high as he looked straight ahead, his face full of horror.
Disc-sized packets of explosives rolled in the sky and flew towards him, getting closer and closer.
"Eight grid tooth road, it's an explosive pack, the explosion just now was from the flying thunder cannon, everyone is ...... hidden," the squad leader shouted in a lost voice.
As he spoke, his face had turned pale, and his heart was full of fear.
Many officers of the garrison know about the flying thunder cannon, and they have seen it with their own eyes, and their memories are still fresh, and they will never forget it after seeing it once.
Its power and its shoddy manufacturing methods mismatch.
Domestic weapons experts have specially studied this kind of weapon, and the result is that the flying thunder cannon has too many shortcomings and has no production value, and they have specially studied ways to deal with the flying thunder artillery.
Concentrate as many mortars and grenadiers as possible, cover the enemy's thunder artillery positions with artillery fire, destroy them.
The method was very useful, and after a period of time, the frequency of the Eighth Route Army's use of flying thunder guns became significantly lower.
However, this is all wishful thinking on the part of the devil.
At the beginning, the Eighth Route Army did suffer several losses in the use of flying thunder artillery.
The enemy did not destroy a few, but was blown up by the Japanese, and the gunners also suffered heavy losses.
The loss-making business must not be done, and the Eighth Route Army soon developed a new way of playing.
Use the Flying Thunder Cannon as a disposable weapon, or use it when you are absolutely sure that you will completely annihilate your opponent and they have no chance to counterattack, just like tonight.
Twenty flying thunder cannons lined up and fired together.
"Boom ......"
The first explosive pack fell from the sky and exploded, and then the explosions began to sound continuously.
In the dull explosion, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble slightly.
Under the light of the rising fires, black smoke billowed and spread around.
The point of impact has already turned into a huge crater with a depth of more than two meters in the explosion.
The mud, stones, logs, and devils hiding in the trenches in the crater were blown up into the sky like toys, and finally landed within forty or fifty meters of the impact point.
Some unlucky little devils happened to hide next to the impact point, and in the explosion, the powerful air wave and shock wave instantly tore them into shreds, and the flesh flew sideways, and then smashed around like rain, not even a complete arm.
The heavy machine guns mounted on the position were directly shattered, and the parts flew everywhere under the sweep of the air waves, and the power was no worse than the fragments of artillery shells.
Poor shooting accuracy is also a fatal drawback of the flying thunder gun.
Although the twenty flying thunder cannons were lined up, the explosive packs that were fired out were far and near.
Most of the explosive packs did not crash into the Japanese positions.
But the power makes up for it.
As long as the bullet hits near the trench, the little devil inside will also die.
Looking down from the air, twenty columns of black smoke rising from the sky were scattered along the trenches, which meant that the Japanese troops on the positions were within the killing range.
The third battalion attacked the position, and Li Hao looked at the Japanese position with a very serious expression.
More than 300 fighters of the second and third companies of the guard battalion are ready to go.
The rifle was held in the hand, and the modified light machine gun was held in the arms as a submachine gun...... It's like a pack of wolves, lurking in sortie positions, ready to rush out at any moment.
"Are the artillery ready?" Li Hao didn't put down the binoculars and asked in a deep voice.
Huang Sheng immediately replied: "Three large-caliber mortars, six medium mortars, all ready to shoot, the target is the second line of defense of the Japanese army." ”
"After repeated confirmation, the shooting officers will definitely be able to give the first order."
"Good!" A smile flashed on Li Hao's serious face, but it quickly disappeared.
"Command ......"
As soon as the two words came out, Li Hao's face returned to a serious expression.
"The second round of explosives from the flying thunder artillery was fired, and the guard company began to assault, and the three battalions, as the second echelon, launched an attack together, covering the twenty flying thunder guns to quickly rush forward, arranging new positions on the Japanese defense line that was about to be taken, and continuing to throw explosive packages at the second line of defense of the Japanese army."
"The artillery company opened fire together, and at the beginning of the assault, it hit the second line of defense of the Japanese army with artillery fire, preventing them from reinforcing the first line of defense, attracting Japanese artillery fire on the defense line, and buying time for twenty flying thunder guns to set up their guns."
"Boom, boom, boom......"
A second round of explosions was heard from the Flying Thunder Artillery position.
Twenty explosive packets were pushed out of gasoline drums by flames and tumbled at a speed visible to the naked eye, ready to deliver a second devastating blow to the Japanese line.
The same picture once again entered Li Hao's field of vision.
The flames quickly flashed in the Japanese position, and thick black smoke spread all around.
Dirt, logs, devil corpses, and toys were blown up into the sky, scattered in all directions, and finally smashed to the ground like rain.
It was only then that the explosion of "booming ......" came.
"The trumpeter blows the trumpet and starts to attack," Li Hao seized ......the opportunity to order.
"The artillery company opened fire to cover the infantry assault ......"
