Chapter 775: Artillery Observer

Although Jiang Haoran was not on the front line to command the battle, he still used his methods to influence the troops and inspire the soldiers. Yesterday's timely commendation order has already made the soldiers' fighting spirit burst.

In fact, yesterday's cold frost to Meng Gong brought far more than the effect seen in front of her, she also found an opportunity to talk to the division commanders alone, and clearly hinted that all the division commanders do not need to worry about the immediate losses, and the establishment may be revoked if the other units are lost, but in the expeditionary force, this kind of thing will never happen, just like Jiang Haoran's 40th Group Army, the new third division and the new fifth division have been disabled many times, and the new fifth division has even appeared when the whole division is less than 2,000 people, but the recovery is faster than anyone else'sMoreover, Leng Rushuang also revealed intentionally or unintentionally that the supplementary source of troops had already arrived in Yunnan, and all of them were student soldiers recruited from major colleges and universities, and they had already entered the special training at the Baoshan base of the special operations division, and would soon be airlifted to India to become a reserve source for the expeditionary force.

With this news, generals at all levels will not have the idea of preserving their strength, and they dare to show their family background and the enemy's desperate efforts, which is also the fundamental reason why Lu Guoquan, commander of the 93rd Division, dared to encourage the soldiers to go to the front line even when the establishment was crippled.

At the forward position, the regiment commander Chen Feng rolled up his sleeves high, held a British-made Stern submachine gun in his left hand, and stood on the edge of the trench with his right hand crossed his waist, looking at the Japanese army surging up like a tide below, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of evil smile, yesterday's victory greatly increased his confidence, and at this moment he was hoping that the Japanese army would come more, but the Japanese tanks were not found to follow at the bottom of the mountain, which made him somewhat disappointed.

"Commander, what do you say the little devil is carrying a big oil drum onto his back?"

Long Biao, the commander of the first battalion, didn't know when he stood beside Chen Feng, and pointed to the enemy under the mountain and said suspiciously.

Chen Feng fixed his eyes and found that there were indeed many Japanese soldiers under the mountain carrying an oil drum, so he immediately frowned, and said suspiciously: "Wipe the damn, won't this little devil also learn the "conscienceless cannon" of the general seat and is ready to use it against us, right?" ”

"Ah, how can the little devil be the 'conscience cannon' of our general seat?"

"You're stupid, haven't you heard that the chief seat used a 'conscienceless cannon' against them? The Japanese army of the three divisions below, at least two division commanders have fought with our headquarters, and they have all suffered the loss of a conscienceless cannon, and this unconscionable cannon is not a high-tech one, and the Japanese military experts can understand what is going on at a glance, and it is not surprising that it can be imitated. ”

"Then what should I do, it wouldn't be a good thing for this guy to greet us, and you see, there are thousands of soldiers carrying oil drums, and thousands of conscienceless cannons are incredibly powerful?"

Chen Feng looked at it with a straight face, among the tens of thousands of Japanese troops, I am afraid that more than one-tenth of the Japanese soldiers were carrying oil drums, and he immediately denied his idea just now, the Japanese army's oil drums will definitely not be unconscionable cannons, no matter what, the Japanese army will not carry thousands of guns to fight a position, this is unscientific.

Soon, the Japanese army entered the range of machine guns, and all kinds of small-caliber artillery fire at the bottom of the mountain also began to suppress firepower, and the charge was immediately launched, and the dense Japanese troops swarmed up and rushed to the forward position of the expeditionary force.

The expeditionary force on the top of the hill immediately opened fire with all kinds of weapons, and a dense rain of bullets whistled down the mountain. The Japanese army crawled to the ground in an instant, and then one by one the oil drums were erected, and soon a protective wall was formed, and the Japanese soldiers behind the oil drums quickly danced the military shovels and filled the oil drums with sand, gravel and soil, which was used as a bunker at a glance.

Moreover, judging from the direction of the Japanese oil barrels, it was inclined upwards all the way, and it seems that the Japanese army wanted to use this protection to shorten the distance of the attack.

The Japanese army was not stupid, it can be said that this plan worked wonderfully, the filled oil barrels quickly blocked the bullets fired from the top of the mountain, and the rain of bullets hit the oil barrels with a puff, but the Japanese troops hiding behind the oil barrels were unscathed. The oil barrels continued to move forward, and the speed of the advance was very fast, and in less than half an hour it was halfway up the mountain, and it was basically not far from yesterday's attack.

Command of the 75th Army.

Chen Mianwu paced back and forth in the headquarters with fine beads of sweat, and the heralds came in from time to time to report the enemy's advancing distance, which made him even more restless.

In the set plan, the artillery should take advantage of the enemy's attack to attack the Japanese artillery positions with all their might, seeing that the enemy is getting closer and closer to the front line, but the artillery observers who were sent to Bujieban Mountain yesterday have not heard any news so far, and no one has responded when the walkie-talkie shouted out their voices, and it is not known whether they have climbed the mountain as scheduled.

Chen Mianwu was not worried about the attack of the Japanese army in front of him, there were dozens of unconscionable artillery on the front line, and it was really not easy for the Japanese army to rush up the mountain, but he missed this opportunity to end the Japanese artillery position, and when the attacking Japanese retreated, the artillery would face shelling under the bombardment of the aircraft, and there were only twenty 150 howitzers left in total, and they could no longer afford to consume them. Therefore, Chen Mianwu's mouth was so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles.

The summit of Bujeban Mountain.

Huang Shulin and Liu Xin, a member of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, were laboriously climbing the mountain with a second lieutenant wearing glasses, and the second lieutenant with glasses was the observer of the artillery regiment.

Bujieban Mountain is worthy of natural danger, there are more than a thousand meters above sea level from Menggong, and all the places as far as the eye can see are cliffs, and there is no road up the mountain at all.

Yesterday afternoon, they rushed to the foot of the mountain, relying on a small armed helicopter made by Liang Xiaotian to fix the rope for them to go up the mountain, all the way up the rock, what they did not expect was that the artillery observer sent by the heavy artillery regiment was as timid as a mouse, and his legs and feet were weak before he started climbing the mountain.

They had climbed to the top of the mountain before yesterday evening, but the mountain wind was howling, and behind them was a bottomless cliff, and if they were not careful, they would fall off the cliff and fall into pieces, even if they were brave snow wolf special combat team members, they would never dare to continue climbing the mountain at night, so the three of them fixed themselves on the stone with ropes and spent the night on the cliff.

It's good to face danger at all times, at night, the mountain is very cold, I'm afraid it's close to freezing, although Huang Shulin and Liu Xin have been prepared, and they carried tents in their tactical bags, but there is no place to set up tents on the top of the mountain, and they can't make a fire, and the three of them trembled all night against the whistling mountain wind, and they all froze by dawn.

Fortunately, after the sun came out, the temperature rose quickly, so that they found the feeling of returning to the world.

The top of the mountain does have a wide field of vision, and there is a feeling that the vast land is under your feet, but it is also limited to the direction of Menggong, and if you want to see the Japanese army lineup to the north, you must climb over the top of the mountain.

Since dawn, the three of them began to climb the mountain with all their might, but the second lieutenant with glasses looked at the foot of the mountain and didn't even dare to open his glasses, and kept screaming, allowing Huang Shulin and Liu Xinwei to be coerced and scolded, but they refused to move a step, helpless, the two had to drag him up directly, but the mouth was scolding, and all the vicious words came, and they had never seen such a coward, and they didn't know how he was promoted as a captain.

Japanese aircraft bombing, artillery raids, infantry attacks, can be seen clearly on the top of the mountain, Huang Shulin knows the task he shoulders, he does not dare to slack off, although he is a little exhausted, still drag the glasses of the second lieutenant to climb up, two years of special combat career, has made his will as strong as iron, do not complete the task will not compromise. However, because he was worried that the battery of the walkie-talkie was not enough, he turned off the walkie-talkie last night, but forgot to turn it on after dawn.

"It's here, the captain has arrived! I saw the enemy's artillery positions! ”

Liu Xin suddenly exclaimed, so that Huang Shulin directly threw the glasses captain on the ground, took a few steps forward by himself, and looked into the North Pole, only to see that on the loess below, there were two palm-sized places scattered with some black spots, vaguely the figure of the cannon, and around the black spots, you can also see the size of an ant-sized moving figure.

Huang Shulin quickly took out the binoculars from his tactical bag, looked at them carefully for a few seconds, and replied affirmatively: "Yes, it's the devil's artillery position, Liu Xin, hurry up and call that pile of mud." ”

Liu Xin bent down, slapped the captain in the face twice, and shouted: "Hey, boy, hurry up, we see the enemy's artillery position, hey, you kid is up?" ”

The glasses captain looked pale and looked around in a panic, his eyes were full of horror, and he held a stone on the ground tightly with both hands, no matter how Ren Peng and Liu Xin pulled, they just refused to get up.

"I'll wipe you a soft egg, and if you don't get up, Lao Tzu will kick you down with this stone and break you to pieces."

Huang Shulin approached in two steps, making a gesture to kick, but Liu Xin hurriedly pretended to block the front, and said urgently: "I said you kid, our captain's temper is not very good, if you don't move, he really dares to kick you down." ”

The glasses captain swallowed a lot of saliva, slowly let go of the stone in his hand, and couldn't stand up with his two legs on the ground, or the big man Liu Xin lifted him up, but he couldn't let go, and as soon as he let go, the kid's body fell straight to the ground.

Helplessly, the two had to find a relatively flat place and carry the glasses captain over.

The straight-line distance between the top of the hill and the position below is not far away, the rumbling guns are clearly heard, and even the dense infantry attack of the Japanese army is faintly visible, Huang Shulin kicked the glasses captain on the ground angrily, and pointed down and said angrily: "Look at it, boy, the enemy will soon rush to our position, if you grind again, how many brothers will die in your hands in vain, do you know it?"
