1054. Defending Lion Rock

Later, because the Chinese army was so uncomfortable by the Japanese planes, they no longer obeyed the orders of their superiors, and also picked up guns and heavy machine guns to shoot at the air, and occasionally shot down one or two unlucky Japanese planes.

Later, the Chinese army no longer insisted on the original order, acquiescing in or even conniving at the soldiers to use guns to return fire at the low-flying Japanese planes.

When the Japanese saw that the Chinese army dared to expose their heavy machine gun fire in broad daylight, they immediately used mortars to attack the heavy machine guns fired by the 153rd Regiment.

When the heavy machine gun encounters a mortar, it is out of line, it can't hit people far, and it can't find people's firing positions at once, so the heavy machine guns of the 153 regiment lost several units in a company.

Lu Xing, the commander of the distressed 153rd Regiment, jumped up, immediately withdrew his heavy machine gun, and shouted that the mortars of the machine gun company would immediately return fire and beat him back.

So the mortars on both sides were competing in technology and tactics, but after all, the Japanese mortars were superior, but this difference was not fatal and could not determine the victory or defeat on the battlefield.

But Regiment Commander Lu was unhappy, he was always bullied by devils, and he couldn't fight back, he was really uncomfortable, and he was ready to send troops to launch a counterattack and counterattack, but he was immediately decisively vetoed by the division commander Li Tianxia.

Now that the Japanese army is hoping that the Chinese army will rush out, you yourself stupidly fell for the Japanese army for the sake of a momentary anger, isn't it a joke about the lives of the soldiers.

However, in order to appease Commander Lu's annoyance, Division Commander Li ordered the mortars of the 152nd Regiment on the mountain to counterattack the enemy, and the local limited counterattack did not attract the attention of the Japanese artillery.

This degree is difficult to grasp, and the commander of the 152nd regiment, Liu Guangyu, feels that this order is a bit outrageous, not only to beat others in broad daylight, but also to let others not know, what is the difference between covering your ears and stealing the bell.

However, the order of the division headquarters could not but be carried out, and Regiment Commander Liu suddenly remembered that the mortars of the third battalion were well fought and had won awards in the whole army, so he threw this pot to Sangou.

Sangou originally wanted to preserve his strength, and he could stay up as long as he could, and this formation, as a battalion commander, could already see the big situation.

The 51st Division cut off the back road of the entire 106th Division at once, can people not be in a hurry, it is estimated that there will be a big battle, so if you can save your strength first, don't take out all the things at the bottom of the box to show off at the beginning.

But the regiment commander's order came down, and at first Sangou didn't believe that this was the meaning of the regiment commander, so he said more, Liu Guangyu and Sangou had a good relationship, but it was not a place for idle chat on the battlefield, so he told Sangou euphemistically that this was an order from the division headquarters.

Sangou understood, the division headquarters is going to make a show to the 153rd regiment, you can't see death and not save it, it will make your subordinates chill, but doesn't your division headquarters have a divisional artillery battalion, why don't you shoot a few shots?

The division headquarters is also preserving its strength, and it seems that in order to complete the task, it still needs to be fired with a few shots, and Sangou informed the bamboo poles to move the mortars to a place far away from the artillery array, and withdraw after a few shots.

The bamboo pole understood what the three dogs meant, and did so, but the bamboo pole was highly skilled, and it was not to execute it for the sake of carrying out orders, and it was really done with a real knife.

As soon as the mortars of the third battalion opened fire, several Japanese mortars were killed in a company.

Secondly, the bamboo poles are really good in their technology, and they are the first in the whole army, but they are not in vain, there are almost no correction shells, and a single artillery shell hits the mortar position of the Japanese army, and several guns are knocked over at once.

If you don't look at the power of the shells, the Japanese army would think that it was bombarded by the mountain artillery of the Chinese army, but no matter whether it is a mortar with less power, it can't bear it, and the people in the mortar artillery array of the entire Japanese army are all scattered at once.

After a while, the Japanese infantry artillery began to take revenge on the mortar brother, and bursts of 75-caliber shells hit the place where they fired the bamboo pole just now, blasting open several large mountain pits.

But that's just a few pits, the bamboo poles they have long withdrawn to the cave, the devil has a foot cannon mountain artillery howitzer, everything you have, who is still with them.

As soon as the mortars on both sides were withdrawn, the light and heavy machine guns began to confront each other, and the Japanese machine guns were mediocre and could not suppress the machine guns of the Chinese army, let alone attack.

Whether it's a machine gun or a rifle, as long as it's on guard, it will have a little advantage, at least in the terrain.

Obviously, the Japanese army was in a hurry and did not want to grind and chirp with the Chinese army here, so they moved the infantry artillery forward and used the infantry gun to hit the machine gun fire point of the Chinese army.

In order to be in a hurry, the Japanese army also dared to move forward with its rifle and put itself in the range of dangerous mortars.

But now it is not a single company or a battalion of troops fighting, there are regiments and divisions above, and Sangou is very clear about the strict observance of military orders.

In particular, in this kind of high-pressure resistance war, it is all the more necessary to strictly abide by orders and not make the slightest mistake, and there are many officers who make their own decisions, but most of them are fighting independently.

However, although Sangou obeyed the orders of his superiors, he was so uncomfortable to see that he did not eat the fat in his mouth, and immediately called the regiment headquarters and asked to use mortars to kill the two Japanese rifle guns.

Liu Guangyu was also thinking about this matter, at this moment Sangou took the initiative to propose, and he also immediately called to the division headquarters, the division commander Li Tianxia is the old superior of Sangou and Liu Guangyu, and the combat style belongs to a system, after listening to it, he immediately agreed to the request.

When the three dogs were waiting for the order to reply, they had already asked the bamboo poles to pull out the cannon and measure the distance position, just waiting for the above to agree, even if they didn't agree, it didn't matter, just drag it back.

As a result, it didn't take long to get a reply that could be beaten, and the three dogs were in ecstasy, and with an order, the four mortars of the bamboo pole fired in unison, and the group shells smashed into the Japanese infantry artillery position at once.

Two Japanese infantry guns were hit at once, and the artillery had to flee in all directions in front of the falling mortar shells.

The shell box of one of the guns was blown up, causing a martyrdom, and an infantry cannon was blown up in the air.

Due to the extreme shortage of artillery fire in the Chinese army, Sangou went to the battalion commander and saw that the saliva of the two infantry guns was about to flow to the ground, and he still couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart.

It would be great if one could be captured, the infantry artillery is almost the king of infantry position warfare, invincible, if there is one in the three battalions, it will be terrible.

But if I think about it too much, even if it is captured, it will not be used by the three battalions, not even the 152nd regiment, and it will definitely be given to the artillery battalion by the division headquarters.

However, the reward for capturing a complete infantry cannon is very considerable, and the recent bounty issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs is 10,000 yuan for a cannon, 10,000 yuan, which can give each soldier of the three battalions a year's bonus.
