He Jianye, who had returned to the Fenghuangzui regiment headquarters of the 16th Regiment at night, had just entered the regiment headquarters when he saw Sheng Hai, the commander of the second battalion, who was waiting for him at the regiment headquarters......

"Sheng Hai, what's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?" He Jianye asked suspiciously,

"Commander, you're back! After the reconnaissance team of the devils who were approaching dusk was beaten back, I felt that something was wrong, and specially sent a company commander with a few clever brothers with binoculars to go out to investigate, and they had just returned! The devil is fierce enough this time, I'm afraid our group won't be able to eat it! Sheng Hai said anxiously,

"What the hell is going on? Say! He Jianye said impatiently,

"According to the report of the commander of the first company: I am afraid that the devil is a whole division from Shahe, and the battalion is built from less than two kilometers in front of our position, until Shahe! They also saw the devil's heavy artillery, heavy artillery! It's not the small mountain artillery and field artillery that the devil used to be! Sheng Hai said,

"Well, just had a meeting at the division headquarters, and Commander Li also said that this time the 106th Division of the devil is attacking De'an with all its might, I'm afraid it wants to open a gap from De'an to attack Wuhan, and all our tasks have changed; Now we are required to defend Phoenix Tsui to the death, the entire Third Division has gathered around Phoenix Tsui, not only that, but there are also 15 divisions behind us as a reserve, in short, don't think about it this time. Your battalion is the most advanced battalion of our regiment, just one requirement, pay attention to the movements of the devils! If the devil's infantry does not come up, the brothers will never be allowed to go out of the fortifications, no matter how the devil's shells explode, as long as the bunker is still there, they must stay in the bunker! Do you understand? He Jianye said,

"Understood! Regiment commander, do you think the observation post is still a squad? Sheng Hai said worriedly, looking at the posture of the devil, it is estimated that the observation post is sent to death, no matter how much it is, it is not enough for the little devil to blow up......

"Well, now is the time for officers to do their job; You go back and organize all the company commanders, deputy company commanders, and deputy battalion commanders, including yourself; As soon as the sound of the devil's cannon stops, an officer must first rush out of the bunker and enter the trench to observe the movement of the Japanese army, confirm that the Japanese army has entered a distance of 600 meters, and immediately order defense! Do you understand? In this brutal defensive battle, only if the officers are not afraid of death in the first place, the brethren may have the courage to face the heavy artillery of the devils! He Jianye patted Sheng Hai's shoulders with both hands and said,

"Yes, Commander. I understand! Don't worry, there are no bad breeds in the second battalion who are afraid of death! Sheng Hai solemnly saluted He Jianye,

"Smack!" He Jianye returned the gift,

Sheng Hai slowly walked out of the regiment headquarters and returned to the forward position......

"Zeng Da! Immediately inform Yang Xiaoshi, your guard company and reconnaissance company, tomorrow when the devil's cannon sounds, obey the order at any time, and within 3 minutes of my order, you must follow me to reinforce the second battalion! He Jianye turned his head to Zeng Da and said,

"Yes! Head! You can rest assured that you will rest early, and I will go to Yang Xiaoshi now! Zeng Da assured,

The summer morning came early, and the light broke through the dark night clouds in a short period of time and sprinkled early on the land of Fenghuang Tsui, and the morning sun had a little gold, which made this quiet mound dyed with dazzling gold; In the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, who was forced by Okamura Ninji's military order, and Chief of Staff Yoshitaka Akiyama Osa rode their horses without even eating breakfast early in the morning, and led the devils of the guard squadron to the front of the 147th Wing......

"Shhh Chief of Staff Yoshitaka Akiyama made a sound of inhaling cold air from his mouth,

"General, if the people of China have a heavy defense on this mound, I'm afraid that my 106th Division will have to pay a huge price to conquer this place! You see, this mound is very good for defense; Each mound is both a separate defensive high ground and can support each other, and no matter which side of the attack of the Imperial Japanese Army is, it will be attacked by the fire of the Shina people from at least two directions! Yoshitaka Akiyama said worriedly,

"Akiyama-kun, that person also has to have soldiers to survive here!" Junrokuro Matsuura smiled weirdly,

"What does the division commander mean? Special bombs? Yoshitaka Akiyama asked suspiciously,

"No, Akiyama-kun; Special ammunition is the last means of attack, although the effect of special ammunition is good, but there is still a certain threat to my attacking warriors, especially our gas masks still have considerable defects, once our attacking warriors use gas masks, not only will their actions be restricted, but also the sight will be lost less than seventy percent! So I won't give the order to attack with special ammunition unless I have to! Junrokuro Matsuura said with a smile,

"But the commander of the mission, although our artillery wing is equipped with heavy artillery, the number is too small after all! The power of the 75mm field cannon is not enough to destroy the fortifications of the Chinese people! Yoshitaka Akiyama reminded,

"Akiyama-kun forgot that we have the right to call for direct support from the air force in this attack; According to the news from Jiujiang, the engineer wing of our Imperial Japanese Army has restored the function of taking off and landing fighters at Jiujiang Airport, and with the power of our Imperial Japanese Army's aerial bombs, it is enough to make these hills in front of us lose a single inch of grass and turn them into flat ground! Junrokuro Matsuura said proudly,

"Command! Immediately telegraphed to the army aviation to support and use aerial bombs to open the way for our division; Ten minutes later, the artillery wing fired red smoke grenades to envelop the positions of the Chinese Army, providing an accurate left for the accurate bombardment of our air forces. Junrokuro Matsuura gave the order with a serious face,

"Hay!" The communications soldier who was on standby at any time immediately finished recording and turned around to convey the order......

"Division commander, did you immediately order the 147th Wing to assemble and launch an attack on the positions of the Chinese immediately after the bombardment?" Yoshitaka Akiyama asked,

"No, no, no......" Junrokuro Matsuura shook his head,

"The people of China are ground rats, and their ability to dig holes is still very good; Let the aviation continue to bombard this mound in front; Ordered the artillery wing to shell the defense line of the people of China in the Great Tianshan and Ma'anshan during the bombing of the air force, and ordered the 123rd Wing to assemble troops in the Kijima robe, and after the artillery wing finished the bombardment, attack the positions of the Great Tianshan and Ma'anshan in the south along the Nanxun line. Hahaha......" Junrokuro Matsuura laughed proudly,

"Hay! The head of the mission is clever! Yoshitaka Akiyama immediately patted his ass,

The position of the 16th Regiment, He Jianye, who had a premonition that once the war started, it would be a bloody battle, directly ordered the cooking squad to distribute enough grain cakes for two days to all the officers and soldiers at dawn, and required the brothers to keep the water bottle full of drinking water, in the various bunkers, artillery holes, and underground fortifications, there were large wooden barrels filled with mountain spring water everywhere, these water was not for the brothers to drink, but for all the heavy machine guns, in the fierce environment of the war, the cold water needed by the second and fourth heavy machine guns was more terrifying than people, A heavy machine gun that fired continuously did not exceed 100 ° C as long as there was water in the cooling water cylinder. When firing, some water leaks at both ends of the barrel; The cooling water used is also not circulating, it is filled before shooting, and it is necessary to add water to the cooling water cylinder at any time during the battle. When actually shooting, two or three cartridge belts must be put on before steam is released; According to the requirements of the Makqin water-cooled heavy machine gun, the maximum rate of fire is 600 rounds / min, and an average of 750 rounds requires two kilograms of cold water.
