1018. in the first place

After the mortars on the bamboo poles quickly disabled the Japanese mortar position, they immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and attacked the Japanese heavy machine gun position.

If the Min-2 quadruple machine gun against the Japanese army's 92-heavy machine is a sweeping fire suppression, then the 50 mortar is a devastating blow to the Japanese army's 92-heavy machine.

As long as one mortar grenade hits the nest of the Japanese heavy machine gun, the heavy machine gun and the team members in it all have to be scrapped.

As soon as the infantry fire support of the Japanese army was defeated, those stragglers who advanced halfway immediately felt that something was wrong, and now the supporting fire behind them was in a vacuum.

The three squads of the seventh company and one platoon of machine guns immediately showed their heads and carried out targeted killings at the Japanese stragglers at a distance of 300 meters from the position, like sweeping trucks.

Shooters like Ma Zhaokai began to be active again, shooting at those devil stragglers who had no time to dodge or had no good place to hide.

The Japanese army should have seemed to succeed in an infantry battle, but it was destroyed in an instant by the machine gun company of bamboo poles, and the Japanese captain who was responsible for attacking the position of the three dogs and three battalions hated it.

Seeing that the Chinese army had mortars and heavy machine guns, and was still on the mountain, the Japanese captain felt the seriousness of the problem.

If he hadn't pulled out these firing points, according to this firepower, it was estimated that all of his infantry brigade of 500 or so people would have died at the foot of the mountain, and he would not have been able to take the mountain.

How to pull out these firing points, it is easy to do, use the 92-type infantry gun to bombard, although the 92 infantry gun is a smoothbore gun, but it can be fired at a large elevation angle like a mortar, hitting targets on a high mountain in the distance.

The infantry brigades of the Japanese army were generally equipped with 92 infantry guns, and there would be at least one infantry artillery squad of about 55 people.

This squad has a squad of about 10 people, an ammunition squad of about 15 people, and two artillery squads of about 15 people, each of which is equipped with a 70mm Type 92 infantry gun.

A very small number of troops were equipped with an infantry artillery squadron of more than 120 men, including an ammunition squad of 30 men, and two artillery squads of 30 men each equipped with 2 infantry guns.

Therefore, the two Japanese 92 rifle guns immediately began to shake, and the artillery observation constantly reported the data of the Chinese army's mortar and heavy machine gun positions on Shiguling Mountain to the gunners.

When the first shell hit the mountain, Sangou roared in a hurry, urging the bamboo pole to pull all the mortars and heavy machine guns back into the tunnel and hide.

Sangou would rather the position at the foot of the mountain be taken by the Japanese than the machine gun company to be destroyed by the devil's rifle artillery, which is the fire support of hundreds of infantry in the entire third battalion, without these, how many infantry would have to die.

The point is that even if a lot of people die, they may not be able to complete the task, so what is the difference between the entire third battalion and the cannon fodder battalion of ordinary troops.

Now the Japanese infantry artillery has not forgotten that the mortars and heavy machine guns of the Chinese army have been hiding, and a shell has smashed over, and the continuous bombardment has lasted for almost half an hour, and those superficial positions have been bombarded like scars, and the mountains have collapsed one by one.

This kind of positional warfare, the two main officers of the enemy and us seem to be playing cards, you play a card, I follow to play a card, as the cards continue to increase, the play is getting bigger and bigger.

Now that both sides have almost played the trump cards in their hands, Sangou saw that the Japanese army had infantry guns, and the two of them were bombarded together, so it could be basically concluded that the other party was an infantry brigade.

The captain of the Japanese army also followed the Chinese army with many mortars and heavy machine guns, and it can be judged that it is at least an infantry battalion above the level of a unit.

Both sides were about the same in numbers, both of them were about 500 people, but the Japanese army had an absolute advantage in weapons, and the Chinese army had a geographical advantage.

This is why Sangou attaches great importance to the construction of cities, that is, the construction of fortifications, and to fight against the Japanese army, it is necessary to use the terrain and create favorable terrain to offset the powerful weapon firepower of the opponent.

Now the trump cards of both sides have come out, or the big trump card of the Japanese army is the largest, and the infantry artillery is at this level, and the three dogs dream of having it, but now the mountain artillery of the 74th Army is only available in the divisional artillery battalion.

An infantry battalion, don't even think about it, what kind of mountain artillery, flat-fire artillery or something, if there is a mortar, you have to dream of laughing, Sangou also knows the current equipment of the Chinese army, and it is just a thought about mountain artillery.

Although Sangou's card is not as big as the Japanese army, his biggest card, the machine gun company, has not been lost, and he is hiding in the tunnel bunker.

The men of the machine gun company were comfortable, but the people of the infantry company were uncomfortable, and the 7th Company now had no good days, and the Japanese army, through the firepower superiority established by the infantry artillery, immediately set up light and heavy machine guns and re-suppressed the forward position of the 7th Company.

If it was as before, or when there was no way to retreat, the three dogs now began to tell the men of the seventh company to prepare grenades and bayonets, ready to wait for the Japanese army to come up, and rush up to fight hand-to-hand together.

Although hand-to-hand combat is cruel and uncertain, it is much better than constantly consuming under the enemy's guns, after all, you can catch a few devils on your back until you die.

But now, as the battalion commander, although Sangou has the power of life and death over the company under his command, he is still unwilling to do what he did before.

In the past, there was no way, for example, in Songhu, Nanjing and other places, there was no way to retreat, as an infantry company, it had to go up, even if it was dead, it had to be resisted, and it was the turn of the battalion, regiment, etc. behind it when it was gone.

Now Sangou has a backing mountain on his back, although this Shiguling Helin Mountain is not a big mountain, but as long as the fortifications are dug well and the defensive tactics are done well, they can still be defended for a while.

What's more, it's only three days, today is already noon the next day, half of the time has passed, as long as you keep it for another day and a half, the task will be completed, and there is no need to fight with the devil to consume yourself innocently.

And the three dogs still have a back hand.

Sangou sent a signal soldier to tell Xiucai that the Seventh Company could properly and slowly withdraw from the forward position at the foot of the mountain, but not collapse all at once, withdraw slowly, and do a good job of protection.

That is, the illusion given to the Japanese army that they were repelled by the Japanese army, and did not withdraw from the position on their own initiative.

But also, now the seventh company and one platoon are indeed unable to hold it, the entire position is suppressed by the Japanese firepower, and he is a machine gun and an excellent shooter, and he can't play it.

After hearing the order to gradually withdraw from the position, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and finally it was time to retreat, and this life could be regarded as being picked up again.

Otherwise, if you don't have this order, you will die in battle, and you will die on this position, and if you don't carry out the order, you will be killed as a deserter.

Anyway, it's all death, the death of becoming a deserter is too cost-effective, first of all, in terms of reputation, it's not cost-effective, if you die on the battlefield, you can still be regarded as a martyr who died fighting for the country.

If you become a deserter, not only do you not have any reputation, but also the economic loss is also very large, the martyr has a pension, every year, and the family can get it for at least 15 years.
