617. Tactics of counter-imminence operations
Therefore, in the distance, they saw a wonderful grenadier battle, grenades from both sides rained down one after another, and explosions sounded in the trenches on both sides.
The devil's grenadier is really heroic, this is simply a suicidal attack, but the devil did it, and the result can be imagined, after two rounds of shooting, the grenadier soldiers on the devil's side were almost blown up.
And Lao Duan's grenadier soldiers on their side were almost unscathed, and when the battlefield fell silent, the devils were going crazy, and Lao Duan, who was holding the telescope, was dancing happily.
I just like to see the devil helpless and angry.
The devils still have a way, they moved out the mortars and bombarded the grenadier "positions" of the Chinese army, which is terrible.
Mortars can hit you at a distance of three or four hundred meters, and the grenadiers are only about 100 meters, and the Chinese-made ones are even worse, but in the later stage of the Anti-Japanese War, there are grenadiers that can shoot more than 200 meters.
It's just that by that time, there were already better and more powerful weapons going out, and despite this, the grenadiers did not leave the battlefield and continued to equip the Chinese army.
The problem now is that the grenadiers of the Eighth Company can't hit the mortars of the devils, so they can only be beaten, and there is no way, so these grenadiers simply don't fire and don't waste ammunition, and they hide in the hiding holes.
The mortar of the devil bombarded wildly, at most, it only tossed up the dirt and gravel and covered it on the wooden board, and it could not hurt anyone.
Unless it is extremely unlucky, a direct hit by a mortar shell, which is not yet available, this probability is too small. Even if you are hit by one or two, it will not have much impact on the overall situation.
After a round of rapid mortar fire, the devil saw that the position of the Chinese army was silent except for the smoke of gunpowder, and it was expected that those hateful grenadiers had been blown up, so there were sappers and soldiers who went to carry out the imminent operation.
Seeing that the devil was digging happily, the grenadier soldiers of the Eighth Company were "resurrected" again, and they began to fire grenades again.
After a few rounds of rapid fire, a group of unlucky sappers who were digging in the devil's trench fell, and this time, the sappers no longer dared to come forward to dig the earth, and the devil's mortar was so angry that it was another burst of indiscriminate bombardment.
The devil also pulled the infantry artillery over and bombarded the forward position of the Eighth Company, almost destroying the position to the ground, this time, right?
Still no, the grenadiers, except for a very few who were buried in the mud and couldn't get up, most of them took advantage of the end of the devil's rifle to quickly hold up the loose soil on the wooden planks and get up to breathe.
At the same time, the comrades-in-arms not far away from the side were pulled apart, and after everyone was in a hurry, they cleaned up the hiding hole, and after the smoke cleared, they saw the devil digging the ground again.
It's really diligent, rushing to work, rushing to death, and the grenadiers on the side of the Eighth Company have a few rounds of rapid fire, so that the devil has no temper at all.
I didn't understand how the grenadiers of the Chinese army couldn't blow up until they died, and of course, some sappers who didn't die immediately found out that they were tired of it.
After that, the devils also learned from the Chinese soldiers, no longer digging bare trenches, and also built wooden planks on them to dig, and now they have learned and sold, not to mention for the time being.
In addition to the serpentine trenches that were approaching, the burrows were also being excavated at the same time, and the devil's sappers were as fierce as tigers, until everyone was tired like dogs, and the number was not enough, so they sent infantry to pull the mud out.
Looking at the amount of mud pulled out by the devil, Lao Duan and Tan Yizhong roughly calculated the distance of the devil's cave, and also sent soldiers to make a string of dense sand holes in the rampant trench.
The distance between the intervals is shortened, the depth of the sand hole deepens, and in order not to be bombarded by the devils, everyone has to desperately do some precautionary work.
Of course, Lao Duan also transferred the lightly wounded to the rear line, and the others were also evacuated to various bunkers, not putting their eggs in one basket.
The sand hole still had an effect, and finally in the evening, the soldier on duty checked that the sand in a sand hole was leaking, and immediately reported it to Lao Duan.
As soon as he heard that there was a situation, Lao Duan immediately called a few people and began to dig down the sand hole, not necessarily digging a big hole, just the size of a bowl.
Finally, a hole with a large bowl mouth was dug through by Lao Duan, and they immediately threw the prepared small cluster grenades (three in a string) in two strings in a row, and then fled in all directions.
After only two muffled sounds, a large pile of dirt was lifted from the position of the trench just now, revealing a large hole.
"Then throw the grenade!"
Lao Duan himself also threw grenades, this is fun, the rats on the ground were blown up, and the rats were killed, it is conceivable that almost all the devils digging in the soil were killed, and one or two of the devils who pulled the soil in the back escaped by luck.
Then the two machine gunners of the Eighth Company jumped out of the hole, holding the machine guns back to back in the hole, shooting at both ends, after a few shots, basically no sound was heard, the devils did not even have wounded soldiers, and all of them were killed in the hole.
It is conceivable that the three grenades exploded together, and in such a small space, the shock wave formed directly formed a gun chamber in this tunnel.
The devil has become a flesh bullet, burned and squeezed by the explosion in the hot and high-pressure "gun chamber", as long as it is a creature, there will be no possibility of survival.
Lao Duan originally wanted to make good use of this tunnel, such as leading a small army to reach the entrance of the cave along this tunnel and attack the devils.
Such a crazy idea, only he, a madman, would have thought of it, and was vetoed by Lao Tan, this is not brave, this is to send to death.
No matter how stupid the devils are, they will not be so stupid as to let you easily go over and fight them, people must be prepared and prepared, but I am afraid that the people who rushed over will not return.
In the end, Lao Duan had to adopt Lao Tan's conservative method and blow up this tunnel, so that the devils could not achieve their goal in vain.
It's night, and now it's time for the devils to rest, the devils are not good at night fighting, they like to start shelling at dawn in the morning, and then start to fight in formation, and basically rest at night.
Recently, the Chinese army has been exhausted by the devils fighting in turns every day, and the loss of personnel is also large, and it is difficult to organize an effective night attack, and the devils have also learned well, and they hardly give the Chinese army any chance.
As long as it is at night, the Chinese soldiers are known by the light and dark posts with many devils when they go down the mountain, and the effect is not good after trying a few times, and the defenders of Yuwang Mountain rarely go to the night attack.
It's the devil, who actually came to attack at night, which made Lao Duan very surprised and sudden, and almost fell for the devil's trick.
In fact, the devils are not bad at night fighting, they will be in a hurry, and people are not bad at playing, but people don't want to play like this.
There are too many accidental and uncertain factors in night combat melee combat, and there will be a lot of unnecessary losses, so the devil who is in the advantage of firepower is naturally unwilling to take this risk.
Anyway, you can be solved by fighting alone, so why take that senseless risk. But now, the devils are in a hurry, they have been playing under Yuwang Mountain for more than a week, and there is still no progress, this is urgent.
