Chapter 11: Heavy Pressure

Yue Siliang had never shown his family background before, and the difference in firepower between the two sides was too big, even if he took it out before, it would be useless. It is better to take advantage of the enemy's carelessness to maximize the results of the battle.

"Dada......"

The four machine guns fired at each other at an angle, and the Japanese did not expect that the army in front of them would have the backbone to counterattack under the previous shelling. And it was this obviously premeditated heavy machine-gun fire.

Clumps of blood burst out one after another on the chests of the Japanese soldiers, and the vision in front of them suddenly became clear. The previously neat queue instantly vacated a huge gap.

"Yaga !!"

The Japanese adjutant was immediately furious, and just now dozens of outstanding imperial soldiers died in a very humiliating posture under the opponent's "despicable methods". Immediately, with a command knife in his hand, the Japanese heavy machine guns followed and opened fire to support the infantry in front.

"How's our cannon ready?"

Seeing that the Japanese heavy machine guns counterattacked, Yue Siliang turned his head and asked Bai Lin, the commander of the first battalion, while directing the soldiers in the trench to kill the infantry in front of the position.

"Commander, you're all set. When to fire? ”

"Now! Aim me at the heavy machine gun! Blowing up a squite is a! ”

"Da Da Da ......"

As soon as Yue Siliang's words fell, a row of heavy machine gun bullets swept over, if it wasn't for Bai Lin to knock him down in time, maybe both of them would have to be swept into a sieve, but several soldiers behind them fell.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two mortars that had been calibrated for a long time finally opened fire, and both shells landed on the Japanese heavy machine gun camp almost simultaneously. One of the heavy machine guns, along with three machine gunners, was blown apart at that time. There was also one shot that was not so accurate, but it also completely broke a heavy machine gun.

After the two shells were meritorious, the artillerymen did not stay long, but immediately carried the mortars and moved, and the biggest characteristic of Yue Siliang's troops was that they rarely stayed in one place longer as a live target.

"Find a way to get rid of a few more of his heavy machine guns, there are too many of these little devils' heavy machine guns."

Yue Siliang scolded while firing his gun, the enemy in front of him only had a large number of brigades, and the total number of people was three or four hundred, just a little more than one-third of their 424 regiment, but the configuration of heavy machine guns was three times as many as theirs, as many as twelve. Such a firepower gap is too difficult to fight.

"Protect our firing points and bring the fighters in the trenches to life. Our mission is to hold back the enemy, not traditional defensive warfare. ”

Yue Siliang commanded the soldiers in the trenches to shoot alternately, trying to exchange more time for tactical ones, after all, their ordinary soldiers only had a dozen bullets per person on average, and they were gone when they were finished. If he had been given more time, he would have been able to dig the fortifications like a labyrinth, but unfortunately there was no if on the battlefield, and the time given to him at that time was only more than two hours.

The Japanese adjutant was in a very angry mood at this time, he had never encountered an enemy like this, and the other party had hardly fought with them since the encounter, and he was completely playing some tricks. And these tricks are particularly deadly, the other side looks like a commander who is good at using heavy machine guns, and does not seek the results of frontal infantry shooting, and strives to ensure that the cross-fire of heavy machine guns can effectively kill. On the contrary, they attacked from the back under the col, and the heavy machine guns were not particularly effective because they could not be fully deployed.

"Mortar! Mortar! Knock out the heavy machine guns of this unit! ”

The Japanese artillery reacted quickly and immediately found a suitable gun position for verification.

"Smack! Syllable! ……”

As a result, several shots rang out one after another, and several Japanese artillery fell in succession.

"Again! And so it is again! The snipers of this army have struck again! ”

The adjutant was stunned, and the way this army fought simply dazzled him, and at the same time made him hate it to the core. Just when the adjutant had nowhere to vent, an orderly ran over.

"Kawada Nakasa, the Yoshimura brigade is now less than ten kilometers behind us, and Captain Yoshimura asks if we need support."

Such words sounded more like an insult to Kawada's ears, in Songhu, in Beiping, and outside the Guan, they had never fought such a battle! Now that he is entangled by such an unknown team, Kawada Nakasa's anger can be said to have reached a critical point.

"Reply to him and thank him for his kindness. But I think by the time he gets here, we should have already dealt with the enemy. ”

Kawada Nakasa was stubborn and unwilling to show his weakness to his colleagues, so he could only command his team to charge towards the high ground, and the dense tongues of fire frantically sprayed towards the position of the 424th Regiment.

"Boom !!"

A series of shells streaked across the sky and landed in the machine gun positions of the 424th Regiment, and a Maxim heavy machine gun instantly turned into scattered parts.

"I'm afraid the devil is in a hurry, and the pressure on us is getting bigger and bigger."

Di Hanming, who was in charge of logistics and ambulance in the trenches, also felt the pressure from the enemy at this time, and said to Yue Siliang with some worry on his face.

"I have long thought that as the gateway to the pocket array, it is inevitable to suffer pressure. The pressure we are under is great, which means that the little devils in the center are also tight. This is only the first wave, and the pressure will increase after that. ”

Yue Siliang said with a solemn expression that as the war deepened, the gap between them and the Japanese army in equipment would become more and more obvious.

"Captain! The enemy is coming up from the position of the second company! ”

A regimental officer who had been in charge of liaison on the left flank of the position ran over covered in gunpowder smoke and reported the not so good news to Yue Siliang.

"Fill in the seven companies, and you must not let the little devil stand still!"

Yue Siliang made this decision without hesitation and sent the first reserve team in his hand.

……

"Company commander! I'm out of bullets on my side! ”

A soldier of the second company emptied the bullet in his hand, and subconsciously raised his head and shouted.

"Give me ......"

The second company commander just wanted to remind him to pay attention to concealment, but before the words could be spoken, the soldier's eyebrows were pierced by the devil's 38 big cover.

"Ah!!h

The steel teeth of the second company were clenched, his bloodshot eyes were round, and he struggled to throw out a grenade and bloomed among the devils outside the position.

"Is there any support?"

As he spoke, the second company commander clasped Hanyangzao in his hand and knocked down an enemy.

Since the damage to the machine-gun positions on their side, the pressure from the enemy has increased. Although the Hanyang-made they used was not inferior or even stronger than the enemy's 38 big gai, they lost to the opponent in terms of accuracy, range, and the amount of projectiles that could be fired per minute, and the main force on the battlefield was the infantry and the rifles in their hands. Under the circumstance that the equipment, logistics, and quality of the soldiers were all weaker than the enemy, the Second Company repelled the enemy again and again with a strong will to fight. But if you don't come to support, you will have to fight the enemy with bayonets for a while.

"Company commander, support has come up, the brothers of the seventh company have arrived!"

Just when the commander of the second company had already decided to let all the members of the company load the bayonets, a cheer came from behind him, and the soldiers of the seventh company arrived.

"Hoo ......"

The commander of the second company exhaled a long breath of turbidity, grinned as if he had laughed, and continued to command the battle meticulously.

This small piece of position was thus spent in a constant and repeated tug-of-war for forty minutes, during which the Japanese attacked several times and were repulsed by the Second Company. The battlefield, which had previously been disrupted by the damage to the machine-gun position, once again regained its balance and turned into a tug-of-war.

Yue Siliang looked at his watch, and then at the situation on the battlefield. I am still very satisfied in my heart, as long as I can hold the Xigou and buy enough time for the comrades in the bag, it will be a victory in this battle. However, he understood that this balance would not be maintained for long, and that reinforcements would surely arrive from the enemy.

Yue Siliang's estimate soon became a reality. The Yoshimura Brigade and the Kawada Brigade belonged to the same wing, and the elite troops of the same level had already marched to the Xigou area at this time.

However, there was another thing that Yue Siliang didn't expect: a thorn had unconsciously pressed against his back!
