Chapter 803: Breaking through the first line of defense

Although the Japanese army carried more ammunition with the convenience of bicycles, it definitely could not withstand the squandering, and it seemed that the area was only fifty meters, but the continuous firing for ten minutes was continuous, the rifles were better, and the consumption of light and heavy machine guns was somewhat alarming.

After another ten minutes, there was no obvious progress in the flank attack, after all, it was a jungle area, and it was not easy for the troops to advance, and it was strictly more difficult to penetrate the Japanese defense line from the flank than from the front.

The smoke bombs on the front still continued to be dropped, basically every two minutes, and when the smoke screen began to dissipate, they continued to be dropped to ensure that the smoke screen lasted for a long time, but the Japanese army also learned to be obedient, and only swept out a few shuttles of bullets on the front line every once in a while, and the direction was from east to west, without any regularity, so as to prevent the expeditionary force from taking the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and the grenades and shells also smashed a round from time to time.

Liu Xianwei in the jungle also began to arrange, more than a dozen bazooka soldiers and a platoon of commandos were summoned by him, dozens of people formed a circle, Liu Xianwei drew a picture on the ground, still three people for a combat group, bazooka soldiers as the main attack, two soldiers cover. Each battle group had its own specific position, which ensured that the entire forward fortifications of the Japanese army were covered by artillery fire.

After some illustrated explanations, Liu Xianwei stood up straight, looked at the watch on his wrist, and said, "It's all clear, if there is no problem, start acting in five minutes." ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!" Dozens of team members stepped forward in unison.

Liu Xianwei nodded and said, "Let's prepare separately, everyone remembers their position, and don't have gaps." ”

The soldiers quickly dispersed, checking their guns, ammunition, and loading the AK47s with grenades, and each of them had to fire grenades at the Japanese positions as they broke through the front line. Then he took out a towel from the tactical bag, took out the kettle and poured some water into it to wet the towel, covered his face, tied a slipknot on the back of his head, and the whole person became a masked man, not because he wanted to be chivalrous and righteous, but just to prevent inhaling the smoke of the smoke bomb and causing coughing and alarming the devil.

Because now the Japanese army does not use poison gas bombs, the troops are rarely equipped with gas masks, so they can only use this primitive method, as for the eyes, they still have to keep the road to see the target, naturally they can't also be blindfolded, even if it is smoky, they can only endure it, at most they will shed a little tears.

Everything was ready, and while a round of smoke bombs had just been launched, Liu Xianwei decisively waved his arm, and dozens of figures suddenly poured into the smoke screen, and disappeared in an instant.

Everyone's eyes were staring nervously ahead, and at this time there was already a cloud of smoke in front of them, and it was absolutely impossible to see people within a few meters.

Fortunately, the Japanese army did not carry out strafing on a large area, and still only occasionally swept out a few shuttles of bullets and fired a few grenades, and there was no movement for nearly half an hour, which had already made the Japanese army relax its guard. But even so, there were casualties to the commandos, and immediately after the enemy strafed them, some of the team members came back with wounded soldiers and dead soldiers on their backs, and five wounded and three dead. Less than fifty people withdrew sixteen on the spot, and after returning with the wounded soldiers on their backs, they naturally could not turn back.

But this loss was also expected by Liu Xianwei, there were more than 30 people here, basically it would not have much impact on his arrangement, and the commandos would adjust themselves according to the situation of the battle damage to ensure that the entire Japanese forward fortifications were completely destroyed.

The smoke of gunpowder slowly subsided, the soldiers had already clenched the weapons in their hands, and one by one they were ready to attack, and the regiment commander Li Chunqiao had already raised the AK47 to stand at the head of the team, and they would only wait for the soldiers in front of them to attack successfully, and they would charge.

The jungle is close to the river, from time to time there is a river breeze blowing in, the smoke dissipates quickly, less than three minutes, has been faintly seen in front of the team members, one by one hiding behind the big trees, the distance has advanced to the front of the Japanese army about 100 meters, just wait for the smoke to fade a little more, they can determine the location of the Japanese fortifications, and then suddenly launch an attack.

"Woohoo!"

The dense screams finally sounded, and a stream of fire whistled out, followed by a rumbling explosion, and in the blink of an eye, the forward position of the Japanese army was already in flames, and the carefully constructed trench turned into a fire dragon in a moment.

The officers and men of the airborne brigade in the jungle rushed forward like a tide, and the well-trained troops, who did not need to use the shouts of killing to boost their morale, were as cold as a sharp blade out of the sheath, moving forward at full speed, and all kinds of weapons in their hands also opened fire, regardless of whether they saw the enemy in front of them, first swept the bullets out and blocked the area.

The few machine guns on the Japanese line never rang out again, and only a few rifles began to return fire piecemeal, mostly in hasty and blind fire.

However, the Japanese artillery shells quickly came in the wind and rain, and the soldiers who rushed to the front were safe, but the soldiers behind suffered a large number. But this situation did not last long, a distance of a few hundred meters was in the blink of an eye, AK47 swept all the way, and the Japanese army lost its suppressive firepower, and could not stop the crazy advance of these demons at all.

In less than five minutes, the entire Japanese defense line collapsed, the officers and men of the airborne brigade had successfully poured into the enemy's carefully constructed trenches, and all the Japanese troops who did not have time to retreat fell under their guns, of course, they also paid a lot of price for this, the enemy's artillery and rifle fire caused at least forty or fifty casualties among them, but for the outcome of the war, it was worth it.

Originally, they thought that if they broke through this line of defense, they could directly kill the river, but the soldiers soon discovered that the cunning enemy had arranged a line of defense at the exit of the jungle and next to the road, and this line of defense was not a temporary sand fortification, but a complete trench, and even an artillery position on the river beach, of course, it was only small-caliber infantry guns and mortars, and bicycles could not move big guys like 75 mountain guns and field artillery.

From the moment the soldiers occupied the first line of defense, the Japanese artillery shells also began to fall into the jungle, crazy and intensive. But in the jungle, the advantage of artillery fire is not great, the thick trees are not planted in rows by hand, and they grow naturally in a haphazard manner, and it is very difficult to find a way for the shells to fly in a straight line for several hundred meters, let alone shoot with purposeful accuracy. Therefore, the Japanese artillery shells will basically fall near the same position, and this position can also directly see the sunlight outside, so as long as the soldiers pay a little attention, they can completely avoid the threat of Japanese artillery shells.

However, this does not mean that the attack of the soldiers will be smooth because of this, the line of defense in front of them will still not be easily breached, and as time goes by, more and more Japanese troops will cross the river, and the battle will become more and more difficult to fight.
