Chapter 771: Fierce as a Tiger
In the smoke of gunpowder, huge craters were everywhere, and the corpses of soldiers who had been blown away could be seen everywhere, but more of them were stumps and broken arms, and flesh and blood, which was shocking. In the trenches that were almost filled, the soldiers who were still alive climbed out of their bunkers one after another, and the cries and curses suddenly rang out.
"Quick, get into position!" The regiment commander Chen Feng raised his arms and jumped into the trench first, and the soldiers behind him also ran wildly, running all the way along the trench to the far end, and the soldiers of the other two regiments rushed up directly from behind the ridge, filling the entire trench in an instant.
The sappers began to wield their shovels to shovel the sand out of the trenches, and the machine gunners quickly set up their machine guns, and then the stretcher and medical teams entered the bunkers and quickly transported the wounded out.
Although the enemy was as fierce as a tiger, the officers and men of the expeditionary force were not frightened by them, and everything was in an orderly state of combat readiness.
The Japanese advance was very fast, and in less than ten minutes after the soldiers entered the trenches, more than 30 tanks lined up and advanced to less than 300 meters from the front line, followed by dense Japanese troops.
Because the upward ramp was close to 45 degrees, the barrel of the gun was already facing the sky, and it was impossible to hit the target at all, so the artillery fire on the tank became all the decoration, but the 7.7 mm heavy machine gun in front did not rest all the way, and swept all the way towards the forward position of the expeditionary force, only to hit the position with dust.
In the trench, Chen Feng was sitting on the ground and still smoking, only to make Long Biao, the commander of the first battalion on the side, anxious, scratch his ears and cheeks, and said urgently: "Regiment commander, it's only two hundred and fifty meters, right?" ”
"Fart, the devils are all hiding behind the tank, how to fight? Wait. Chen Feng glanced at Long Biao, said angrily, and continued to smoke again, but his eyes unconsciously glanced into the trench.
Looking all the way through Chen Feng's eyes, from time to time you will see the bazooka soldiers holding the bazookas that have been loaded with ammunition, squatting and standing half against the trenches, and their eyes are also looking out a few times from time to time.
Although the more than 30 tanks outside the devil are all the latest Type 4 and Type 5 tanks, the thickest part of the steel plate is only more than 30 millimeters, and if it enters the range of 100 meters, the armor-piercing bullets in the bazooka can still easily chisel through its armor, so Chen Feng is not in a hurry, instead of wasting bullets, it is better to get them first.
Since Jiang Haoran sold the technology of bazooka to Mi Guo, Mi Guo has already produced it in large quantities, so there are a large number of bazookas in the weapons shipped from India this time.
It has been more than a year since the bazooka was introduced, and although it is only equipped by the elite units of the national army, it is no stranger to Chinese soldiers, and the operation of the bazooka is also very simple, basically it will be used with a little training.
However, the Japanese army did not follow Chen Feng's thoughts, after the tank advanced to a distance of 150 meters, it did not advance, and formed a steel trench in the front line, and the machine guns and rifles in their hands opened fire together, and the bullets were sprinkled on the position of the expeditionary force like a torrent, and then the grenades hiding behind the tank rained into the trench.
Although the expeditionary force had begun to return fire, whether it was a machine gun or a rifle bullet, it was obvious that it could not penetrate the steel armor of the tank, but only suddenly added a spark to the steel plate, and the Japanese army was basically unscathed, and the only role was to prevent the Japanese from charging.
"Rub the fuck, the devil doesn't play cards according to the routine?" Chen Feng got up from the ground with a disgraced face, and scolded hatefully, just now a grenade exploded directly beside him, fortunately he was lying fast, otherwise this little fate would be explained.
Long Biao, the commander of the first battalion, didn't know where to get out, and he was also disgraced, and howled at Chen Feng: "I just asked you to shoot, but you didn't shoot, now it's okay, let's concentrate on waiting to be bombed by devils?" ”
"Be careful!" Chen Feng suddenly howled and pounced on Long Biao, and then a grenade exploded around the two of them.
Shaking off the dust on his head, Chen Feng quickly got up from the ground, and then Long Biao also got up, but looked at Chen Feng with a frightened face, and touched Chen Feng's head and face with both hands, and the other hand was suddenly stained red by the plasma and chyme substance on Chen Feng's face, and muttered in his mouth: "Where is the injury, regiment leader, where is the injury?" ”
Chen Feng was also completely blinded, and thought that he was injured, and he felt a breath on his head and face, but he did not feel any pain and discomfort, and forgot to glance left and right suspiciously, but found that the light machine gun that was still roaring just now was crooked to the side at the moment, but the machine gunner was nowhere to be seen.
The grenade just now didn't blow up the two of them, but it tore the machine gunner to pieces, and the blood on Chen Feng's body and face was all machine gunner's.
"Little devil, your grandmother!" Long Biao obviously also discovered this situation, and let out a hideous howl, and the light machine gun suddenly pulled the trigger, and the hot bullets suddenly spilled out in a fan shape.
"Herald!"
Chen Feng howled, and then a soldier ran in front of him to report for duty.
"Report to the division headquarters immediately and ask the division headquarters to send us more than a dozen barrels of gasoline immediately!"
"Yes!"
The herald stood on his legs and chested up, and then ran away.
At the foot of Bujieban Mountain, in a slanted col, a tent stood quietly in the woods, where the headquarters of the 93rd Division was located. Although it is at the foot of Bujieban Mountain, it is above Meng Gong, and the position is still very high, and almost the entire trench can be seen.
Division Commander Lu Guoquan and Chief of Staff Wu Chaowen were watching the entire battlefield through binoculars at this moment, and the cunning of the Japanese army made Lu Guoquan infinitely mad, but obviously there was no good way. Although there are also artillery battalions in the division headquarters, the enemy is too close, and it is inevitable that this artillery shell will not enter their own positions, and once the artillery battalion fires, the enemy's planes will be able to detect it immediately, and the artillery battalion is basically a one-time thing, and they cannot afford to consume it.
"Fuck it, this battle can't be fought, if it goes on like this, sooner or later the devil's grenadier will run out of our people." Lu Guoquan withdrew his gaze from the binoculars and scolded anxiously.
"Yes, it will definitely not work if it goes on like this, we have suffered heavy casualties, I think I ordered all regiments to organize death squads and blow up tanks with explosives bags on their backs." Chief of Staff Wu Chaowen said.
"Blow up a fart, you don't see that the Japanese bullets are simply impenetrable, they will prevent us from coming, and our soldiers are afraid that they will be beaten into a sieve if they can't get out of the trenches." Lu Guoquan said angrily.
Wu Chaowen swallowed his saliva and was silent, obviously, what Lu Guoquan said was very reasonable, even if a death squad was formed, such a dense rain of bullets, I was afraid that it would be difficult to rush out.
At this moment, a staff officer ran out from the headquarters to report that the commander of the 340th Regiment had asked the division headquarters to send them more than a dozen barrels of gasoline.
"Deliver gas?" Lu Guoquan frowned suddenly, and then said: "What the hell does this kid want to do, this gasoline is the baby bump of the general seat, each division only has so many dozens of barrels in reserve, and as soon as he opens his mouth, there are more than a dozen barrels, and he is not afraid of flashing his tongue." ”
"Gasoline?" Chief of Staff Wu Chaowen exclaimed, as if he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly said with a happy face: "Master, what a good idea, Chen Feng's kid's brain is just spinning fast, can he come up with such a bad idea?" ”
Lu Guoquan looked dazed, he didn't know what medicine Wu Chaowen was selling in the gourd, and suddenly said angrily: "Tell me clearly, what kind of good idea is it?" ”
Wu Chaowen said excitedly: "Hehe, master! You think, if you throw a barrel of gasoline at the tank under the mountain, with the shape of the gasoline barrel, you don't roll it down directly, as long as the position is aligned, you can roll directly to the front of the tank, and if it explodes, the oil fire alone will be enough for the Japanese army to drink a pot.
Lu Guoquan was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "What kind of bullshit idea is this, as soon as the oil drum is thrown out, if it is immediately exploded by the Japanese army, won't it hurt our own people, no, no, it's too risky." ”
"Shizao, it's impossible to say that it's not risky at all, but this method really works, as long as there are two machine guns next to it to attract the Japanese firepower and throw the oil drum out in an instant, the enemy's reaction is absolutely impossible to be so fast, once the oil drum is out of the trench, it is to roll against the ground, and the speed is absolutely fast, the Japanese army is afraid that it will be too late to fight."
"Hmm!" Lu Guoquan frowned, thought for a few seconds, looked at Wu Chaowen with uncertain eyes, and said, "Why don't you try?" ”
"Just try! Isn't it just dozens of barrels of gasoline, and the general seat may not be held accountable? Wu Chaowen replied affirmatively, and then seemed to remember something, and continued: "Wait, I think you can add another explosive bag at both ends of the oil drum, so that the power will be greater, as long as it can roll under the belly of the Japanese tank, I don't think it will be a problem to overturn the tank." ”
"Huh!" Lu Guoquan pointed at Wu Chaowen and said with a smile: "I just said that Chen Feng's kid is damaged, I think you are a hundred times more damaged than him, okay, just do as you say!" ”

The 340th Regiment blocked the position, the Japanese grenades continued to bombard, the machine guns and rifles did not stop for a moment, and the trenches of the expeditionary force were simply blown up by the Japanese into a zigzag fire dragon, and the whole was shrouded in a rumbling explosion and firelight.
The grenadiers of the Japanese army were absolutely masters, and the expeditionary force was beyond the reach of the expeditionary force, and the grenades flew out from the rear of the tanks and almost all of them landed in the trenches of the expeditionary force, and the soldiers in the trenches were blown up by the grenades and whimpered, and the casualties were extremely great. But the Japanese did not come out of hiding behind the tanks, the machine guns were not powerful enough, the rocket launchers were too far away, and the grenades could not be dropped, so the expeditionary force had no way to take them.
The Japanese had a very clear idea, counting on this grenade to destroy the expeditionary force in the trenches almost as much, and then launched a charge to take the high ground in one fell swoop, but they obviously underestimated the expeditionary force's will to fight, and in the nearly half an hour of bombardment, the officers and men of the expeditionary force on the position were still stubbornly fighting back, although they may not be able to hurt the enemy, but they did not lose half of the momentum.
