"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Several shells sounded overhead, and a puff of sand and dust fell from the bunker, and it turned out to be the devil's tank firing 37 tank guns.

This kind of artillery is between small mortars and infantry guns, hitting bare skin positions, such as machine gun mortar positions, which are majestic, as long as they hit, the effect is very good.

But it is much more difficult to fight a fortress, especially a steel and concrete fortress, and it is difficult to destroy the fortress, of course, if a tank is directly aimed at the gun hole of a fortress, constantly firing cannons, and fighting for a while, this fortress can also be defeated.

But the premise is, will people let you fight so comfortably?

At least Qin Guogang and they disagreed. Now the 2nd Battalion uses these ring forts as support points, digging deep trenches around the perimeter to strengthen trenches and communication trenches, as well as adding some bunkers.

The purpose is to take advantage of the numerical advantage (before they beat a large brigade headquarters and a squadron, it was only two or three hundred people), and now they have a battalion, plus a little special forces that retreated from the front and had no time to cross the river, there are almost more than 500 people.

At that time, the special forces did not mean that the special forces are now, but now they are generally the operational elite teams that perform special tasks, and most of the special forces at that time referred to technical troops, and most of them referred to artillery and automobile troops.

The special forces unit that remains in Tingzitou Village now is a mountain artillery unit, an artillery battalion directly under the division headquarters, with four 70 mountain guns, and the number of artillery is not large, only more than 100 people.

Because the devils were in a hurry, these guns didn't have time to withdraw to the west of the river, and they didn't even have time to bury them in the ground, and the artillery battalion was reluctant to blow them up, so the division had to let them enter Tingzitou Village and wait for reinforcements with the second battalion of the 223rd Regiment.

Lao Ran originally had a lot of opinions about sticking to Tingzitou Village, thinking that this place where he was fighting against the water was too dangerous, and he simply put hundreds of people in a helpless place, and once the position was broken by the devils, everyone would only die in battle.

The second battalion could first retreat to Hexi with the large army, wait for the troops to be organized, or at night, and then fight back.

Although it is more difficult to continue to fight the position of this Tingzitou Village, and you will lose some manpower, it is much better than being served by the devil here.

There is no need to defend this place of death, only if the strength of manpower is preserved in the war, it will be alive, and if you defend a place of death, even the living will be affected at that time.

However, a battalion commander is soft-spoken, and how to arrange troops and determine the key points of defense above is only the overall plan of the above. As soon as Lao Ran heard the words of the regiment leader, he had nothing to say, to put it bluntly, let you be cannon fodder, you have to admit it.

Later, the regiment commander said that he wanted to come to a division direct artillery battalion, I went, Lao Ran heard it, and immediately had the spirit, Tingzitou Village, the position of the circular fortress group, it was more than enough to guard against the devil's infantry, but in the face of the devil's aircraft, artillery and tank, it was enough to choke.

However, now there are four mountain guns of the division's direct artillery battalion, and the waist pole is not quite stiff, Lao Ran is very happy to quickly take a few guns and a hundred artillery pieces of the artillery battalion into it.

"No shells?"

After Lao Ran heard the words of the artillery battalion commander Xu, he almost fainted and fell to the ground, it was a burst of rapid fire, I go, your four mountain guns don't have shells, what's the use?

A cannon without shells, it's not a pile of scrap metal, I, Lao Ran, still count on you to help fight devils, but you are good, and you still expect us to protect you.

Then it is better to come to more than 100 infantry, pick up guns to defend, at least it is much better than these artillery, and this artillery battalion is the treasure of the division headquarters, once there is a mistake, you have to take his old man.

I was still very happy, thinking that there was a cannon camp, and Lao Tzu could do a great job, but a group of treasures that needed to be protected came, which made it difficult for Lao Ran to accept.

"Isn't there some devil shells in the ammunition depot under the main position of Tingzitou Village? See if you can use it? Lao Wang, the deputy battalion commander next to him, reminded Lao Ran.

"That's right! Right! Right! Battalion Commander Xu, I'll take you to see, there are a lot of boxes, aren't you short of shells, good old Xu, you've made a fortune. See how you thank me? ”

Lao Xu was also very happy after hearing this, and immediately followed Lao Ran towards the underground ammunition depot, originally as soon as the shells were finished today, he would have become a bald battalion commander.

I thought that the rear would send shells up, but it turned out to catch up with the devil's counterattack, and their battalion had no shells, so they could only run back with a few cannons.

This is like encountering dystocia in the hospital, the doctor generally protects the mother from abandoning the child, as long as the mother is saved, there may be a chance to have another child in the future, but the mother is gone, and there will be no children in the future.

The same is true of the artillery battalion, these artillerymen are the same as mothers, cannons are the same as children, if they lose their children to keep their mothers, as long as there are artillery in the future, they can continue to fight, but the artillery is gone, even if there are cannons, no one will shoot.

You must know that artillery is the treasure of all units, and it takes a lot of thought to set up a unit the size of an artillery battalion, so the division headquarters is still mainly to protect artillery.

But the artillerymen of the artillery battalion don't think so, the cannon is their child, it's like their own son, who would abandon their own son? I'd rather die.

This is troublesome, the commander of the artillery battalion Xu is unwilling to give up these cannons even if he dies, even if he falls on the retreating troops, he will not lose them, and he almost copied them all to the devils, but fortunately he escaped into Tingzitou Village.

Now that he heard that there was a shell, Lao Xu Ke was so happy that he quickly pulled open the ammunition box, but when he saw it, Lao Xu couldn't help but be disappointed, the devil's shell was from the 92 infantry gun.

The guns of their artillery battalion are mountain guns, not infantry guns, and although the caliber of the shells is the same, the cannons are different. It can't be used, and if it's hard to use, it may be hit, but it's dangerous, and the chance of exploding is very high.

Lao Xu shook his head in disappointment, looked at the baby bumps all over the ground, they couldn't be used, they were more worried than Lao Ran, and then opened all the shell boxes, but found a little mountain artillery shell.

But it can't be used, it's the shell of the devil's 94 mountain cannon, the caliber is not right, it's 75 caliber, and the barrel of their 70 mountain cannon can't be stuffed in, let alone be able to fight.

Lao Xu actually understands his cannon very well, this kind of 70 mountain cannon is already a very old gun, and now many countries do not produce it, and China has produced some of it before, and those shells are used less and less, and this kind of cannon will have to be eliminated sooner or later.

But in the Chinese infantry division, which has almost no artillery, no matter what kind of artillery, as long as there are a few guns, it is a treasure, and it is better than no good whether it is good or not.

Lao Xu knew in advance that it was almost impossible for them to have 70 mountain artillery shells in the devil's ammunition depot, but as an artillery battalion commander, when there were no shells for several guns, as long as he heard that there were shells, he would rush to see them.

Just like now, Lao Xu knew that it was impossible for the devil to have this kind of shell, but he still rummaged through the entire ammunition depot without giving up until he finally gave up.

If you are in a hurry, you can go to the doctor indiscriminately, but you can't take the medicine indiscriminately. You can't use the shells that don't match the number here, because they will kill people just like taking medicine indiscriminately.

Looking at Lao Xu's disappointed eyes, Lao Ran was completely hopeless, he didn't count on the artillery camp, he fought against the water, Lao Tzu explained this time in this ghost place.

But no matter what, the commander of the artillery battalion, Elder Xu, still asked his subordinates to remove all those 70-caliber shells, in case they could be used. It's a pity to put it here and waste it.
