The position at the foot of the hill of the 3rd Battalion was different from the terrain in the flat field, where the Japanese artillery fire could only stop, not extend, because once it was extended, it would hit their own positions on the mountain. &1t;/p>

Therefore, it is difficult to judge whether the artillery fire has stopped, and the uncertainty is very strong because the Japanese artillery has come back several times, and everyone is not sure whether the enemy's artillery fire will come again, so they can only stay in the cave and wait. &1t;/p>

At this time, the opportunity to seize the position was lost, and the Japanese army was a deep attack, and it did not take much time to charge, and they quickly arrived at the defenders' positions. &1t;/p>

However, Sangou considered these problems in advance, and also arranged for everyone to make some preparations when they were doing fortifications last night, such as burying a large number of bamboo knives on the road that the Japanese army must pass, where there are more bamboos and trees, and it is convenient to use local materials. &1t;/p>

There are also a lot of horse traps on the way down the mountain, it is not a horse that is trapped, there is no cavalry on the mountain, it is a person who is trapped, and if the devil rushes down, if he is not careful, he will step into a hidden pit. &1t;/p>

Once you step into a small deep pit, it is not trivial, the feet are constant, at least you have to lose, this battle will not be fought, it will almost become a non-combat attrition, if the foot is broken, it will directly become a wounded soldier. &1t;/p>

There are also some grenades made of tricky mines, etc., and they are blown up, not trying to kill many devils, but hoping to delay the time for the devils to attack, and the movement of the devils attacking. &1t;/p>

These small things, made from local materials, are economical and convenient, and scattered, even if the Japanese artillery hits these places, there is not much damage, even if it is damaged, it is not distressing, and it does not rely on these things. &1t;/p>

Sure enough, the first batch of devils didn't know how powerful it was, and as soon as the last round of artillery fire ended, they immediately began to rush down. &1t;/p>

As a result, they were all hit, either guessing the bamboo stick and bamboo knife, or stepping into the trap pit, [31] mixed with the explosion of a grenade, which made the devil miserable. &1t;/p>

This movement was naturally very big, the devil came, and Sangou immediately led people to rush out of the cave where the soldiers were hidden, and rushed to the position one after another, and the heavy machine gun was also pulled out of the cave. &1t;/p>

Because they were in the woods, the three dogs did not connect all the positions together, but were scattered, and several foxholes around the edge of the hiding hole were a small position. &1t;/p>

Many small positions are related to each other, usually communication trenches, or hiding holes, because some people have dug through the hiding holes, similar to the positions of tunnels. &1t;/p>

This shows how big the project is, it is not that the third battalion can be completed in the middle of the night, but the Japanese army dug a rough idea first, or the Japanese army also wanted to dig a tunnel, but it was too late, and it was occupied by the third battalion, and the third battalion directly used it. &1t;/p>

These, many small positions echo and protect each other, around several main positions, densely scattered in the mountains and forests, the three battalions of several hundred people, also to the maximum extent of the force, will not be crowded together, hindering the hands and feet. &1t;/p>

Although the strength is too spread out, it will form a local weak force, but because of the strong support of the O5 regiment behind them, the three dogs dare to play like this, otherwise the position of a single company will not be so risky. &1t;/p>

Last night, the division headquarters sent a baggage team to bring in a large number of weapons and ammunition, and the third battalion set up machine gun firing points in various small positions, and each small position was equipped with machine gunners, ammunition observation sub-shooters, and several riflemen to protect machine guns. &1t;/p>

At least two or three base numbers of machine gun bullets were placed in the hiding holes of each small position, and rifle bullets were also sufficient, each person carried a base number, about a hundred or so, and at least one base number was also placed in the hole. &1t;/p>

The key is grenades, especially the Seventh Company, the three dogs love grenades, almost to the point of obsession, in the hiding hole of each small position, several boxes are placed, at least four on each person, and the machine gunner is no exception. &1t;/p>

There are 5o grenades in a box, at least a hundred in each position, what is this feeling, that is, in front of your own small position, you can shoot a hundred small bombs of blockade firepower, plus many grenades have been added with prefabricated fragmentation shells, and the lethality is even more terrifying. &1t;/p>

Considering that the position was in a lower position, it was not far to throw grenades, so grenadiers and mortars were very much used, and mortars were small in number after all. &1t;/p>

There were three doors in the seventh company before, and two more doors were added last night, for a total of five, for an infantry company, it is simply much more than the normal configuration, which shows that the 51st Division attaches so much importance to the Minshan position this time. &1t;/p>

The mortar squad of the Seventh Company of Bamboo Poles is now immediately expanded into a mortar platoon, and those recruits and apprentices who have usually trained and learned mortars have been arranged to come in, and a veteran master will lead two apprentices. &1t;/p>

Wu Dingli, Liang Guorong, Xia Chen, each in charge of a mortar, with two recruits as deputy gunners, and two riflemen behind him as protectors and ammunitionmen. &1t;/p>

Each gun is equipped with at least five people, three dogs are too little, and one or two more people are configured as protection, almost six or seven people, five guns, more than thirty people, and a platoon of people. &1t;/p>

However, the three dogs took them apart and used them, and the five guns were scattered into five mortar positions, and at least two machine gun positions in front of them were used to cover and protect. &1t;/p>

As for the grenadier group, the configuration is slightly weaker, but it is also an archer with an apprentice who is an ammunition man, and since he received more ammunition this time, he is equipped with two or three ammunition men and riflemen. &1t;/p>

The grenade of the grenadier is sixteen in one base, usually eight in a person's back, sometimes sixteen can be carried on the back, and the seventh company is equipped with as many as five grenades for each grenadier, and most of them are placed in the hiding hole first. &1t;/p>

An infantry battalion has such a configuration, which shows the strength of firepower, and it is also the investment of the 51st Division, the 74th Army, and even the First Corps regardless of blood costs. &1t;/p>

In order to save the Guangdong troops of the 4th, 8th, and 64th armies on the Jinguan Bridge side, General Xue Yue had to spend a lot of money both personally and in terms of the overall situation. &1t;/p>

After all, these troops are also the main forces that can fight well, and if these troops are rescued, the corps will be temporarily defeated, and it is nothing. &1t;/p>

Whether it is a personal career and honor, or a national interest above all else, it cannot accept such a big blow, so it is worth it to spend such a bloody amount. &1t;/p>

Therefore, on the morning of September, the first wave of tentative attacks by the Japanese army against this position was instantly overwhelmed by the fire of the third battalion of the O5 regiment. &1t;/p>

As soon as the artillery fire was over, the devils rushed down desperately, trying to seize the position and catch the Chinese army by surprise, because they knew that they had dug a lot of caves and even tunnels in the position at the foot of the mountain, and these artillery fires alone could not destroy the Chinese soldiers. &1t;/p>

Only by seizing the limited opportunity after several shellings, rushing down, seizing the position, and fighting for the initiative, can the Chinese army be driven out of this position at the foot of the mountain, which is like a thorn in the throat. &1t;/p>

What the Japanese army did not expect was that the first batch of unlucky devils encountered horse traps, bamboo knife formations, and treacherous thunder formations at the beginning, and after injuring a large number of people, they finally rushed to the front of the position. (To be continued)&1t;/p>
