The Japanese army, like Zhong**, immediately rushed out of the bunker or hiding hole as soon as the artillery fire of Zhong** extended, pounced on the position, seized the position, and shot and resisted the Zhong** in the charge.

At this time, the Japanese position opposite the third battalion suddenly sounded again, it was the machine gun company of the bamboo pole that opened fire, the mortar in terms of power, in destroying the opponent's bunker fortress, although it was not as good as the mountain artillery heavy artillery.

But within a range of more than 1,000 meters, hitting the opponent's firepower point is the best firepower projection weapon, and the mortar at this time happens to hit a time difference after the mountain artillery, that is, the return of artillery fire.

According to their machine gun company, this is a "return artillery" to the devils.

After this artillery fire, the devils in this position completely stopped, and there were more casualties than the mountain artillery bombing just now, mainly because I didn't expect that the ** would come to this hand.

Even if they know, they have no choice, because it is impossible to face the overall charge of the middle **, and if they don't come out of the bunker to resist, wouldn't it be equivalent to lying in the position and waiting for the middle ** to come up and kill them, and sit and wait to die.

Therefore, whether you know it or not, the devil has to come out, and this time when he comes out, he will be hit by a mortar shell from the machine gun company of the third battalion.

In the general infantry unit, only the regiment has a machine gun company, and the mortars are generally three or four, one artillery squad is responsible for one, and an ammunition platoon is responsible for the transportation of ammunition.

The same goes for heavy machine guns, one for a squad, that is, about four, and the same as mortars, plus a unit responsible for ammunition.

In the infantry battalion, there are very few organic artillery batteries, at most they are equipped with machine gun companies and an artillery platoon, one or two mortars, and two or three heavy machine guns.

The 74th Army belongs to the elite of the Central Army, and it is also the strategic attack force of the Military Commission, which has to undertake more offensive tasks, so in terms of weapons and equipment, many of them are as close as possible to the Japanese infantry units.

Therefore, in addition to the regimental machine gun company, the infantry battalion is also equipped with machine gun company, specially equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns, and its number is about the same level as the machine gun batteries of other infantry regiments.

And Sangou attaches great importance to the fire support of mortars to infantry troops, and under the threat of Japanese aircraft and artillery, there is enough flexibility, 50 or 60 mortars plus the base weighs dozens of pounds, and two people can walk away as soon as they lift it.

Therefore, with the help of his military exploits and old qualifications and the relationship with the above, Sangou was equipped with two more mortars.

Originally, the machine gun company of an infantry battalion was already very saturated with four mortars, but Sangou won six for the machine gun company of the third battalion.

The reason is very simple, the three battalions belong to the main offensive force of the regiment, each charge is in the front, cover in the rear, and the others in terms of numerical welfare, like everyone, need more mortars, which is not excessive.

Now the Japanese positions were subjected to rapid fire from six mortars, and mortar grenades, which were about the same power as hand grenades, exploded in the Japanese positions, and a large number of Japanese troops were killed and wounded.

The key is that the Japanese army can't organize the strength to resist, which is very important to Sangou, this is what he wants, as for whether those devils die or not, it is only a matter of time.

As long as the Japanese army can't organize effective resistance fire, such as machine guns, the key is heavy machine guns, and they can't be screamed, this is Sangou's order to die against the bamboo pole machine gun company.

Sure enough, in the long-range firepower woven by machine guns and mortars and heavy machine guns, it was difficult for the Japanese to get up and shoot, not to mention light and heavy machine guns, even rifles.

Taking advantage of this precious minute or two of firepower vacuum time, the three infantry companies of the three battalions and seven ** were unimpeded all the way, and the three hundred hometown recruits rushed into the Japanese position like little tigers under the leadership of the veterans of the Belt and Road.

Seeing that the brothers of the infantry company rushed into the Japanese position, the mortars and heavy machine guns of the machine gun company immediately made an extended attack, and began to suppress the fire on the Japanese army's second and third defenses.

Of course, at this time, there is no longer as blazing firepower as just now, ammunition is limited, and now there is a rise to fight, there is no rise, just the burst of heavy machine guns, deterrence and suppression.

When the forward troops of the three infantry companies entered the enemy formation, the heart of the three dogs was finally put down, and at this moment, the initiative on the battlefield was basically firmly grasped in their own hands.

As for white-knuckle combat, Sangou is not worried about the strength of his subordinates at all, even if there are three hundred recruits, if there is a tailwind war, the recruits' "ignorant and fearless" spirit may be more courageous than the veterans.

Now it's a tailwind battle, in order to create a tailwind battle for these recruits, Sangou didn't hesitate to use the ammunition of the machine gun company, and in the first minute or two just now, almost half of the ammunition reserve of the machine gun company was knocked out.

But this is also worth it, human life is bigger than the sky, on the battlefield, the process of recruits to veterans, that is, the moment of quenching and baptism, is very important, train them to become qualified veterans, and the life of the three battalions will be much better in the future.

As expected, these three hundred fellow recruits, under the leadership of the veteran Yiyi, were extremely brave and ruthless, and they rushed to kill the devils, all the way to the position between the second defense and the third defense.

The Japanese army was originally in terms of troop allocation, Gao'an was a gap, and the main forces were concentrated on the Fengxin line, thinking that it would attract a large number of Zhong** over there, but I didn't expect that Zhong** was unmoved, but came to fight Gao'an.

This asymmetrical style of play can be described as a good move in the sports battle of the large corps, and now there are subtle changes on the chessboard.

Under the fierce attack of the 51st Division and the 3rd Army, the Japanese army in Gao'an continued to retreat, and the 15th Regiment once again overcame the protective position outside the west gate of the Japanese army.

The three battalions just now rushed straight into the three Japanese defense lines, and beat the Japanese soldiers to the devil and howl wolf, and some devils finally had to retreat into the city.

The Japanese army organized a large amount of firepower on the city tower, condescendingly blocking the pursuing soldiers in the **, and the 15th regiment saw that the situation was not good, so it temporarily withdrew its troops.

The three hundred recruits of the third battalion encountered such a good opportunity when they participated in the war for the first time, which was even better than the luck of the three dogs who participated in the war for the first time.

This tailwind battle was fought, all of them were high-spirited, and they were happily talking about whom, who just now, killed a few, stabbed a few, hacked a few, and chattered.

Li Tianxia, commander of the 51st Division, took advantage of the fact that the Japanese planes had not yet taken care of the unexpected battlefield of Gao'an, so he immediately urged the artillery battalion to launch an artillery bombardment of the Gao'an West Gate City Wall again.

At the same time, the 151st and 15th regiments of the main attack force were ordered to organize a demolition group to carry out blasting operations on the Japanese city tower, blow up the city wall, and enter Gao'an City in one go.

Division Commander Li's worries are not unreasonable, and now he is going to enter the city immediately before the arrival of the Japanese planes, and kill with the Japanese troops, and the Japanese planes and artillery will lose their power.

As a result, the tower of the west gate of Gao'an City was once again bombarded by fierce artillery fire, and the city tower of that era had no problem preventing bullets, but in the face of 75 caliber mountain artillery, it was still difficult.
