Chapter 576: The Line of Defense
Biandan Mountain is a mountain range that is not more than 300 meters high, narrow and narrow, like a Biandan to pick up Jigong Mountain and Dayu Mountain, hence the name. Originally, the name was unknown, but because of the invasion of the Japanese army, it has become the focus of attention of the whole Chinese at this moment, because this is the first line of defense against the enemy in front of the 331 base at this moment.
The military commander who can be used as the first line of defense is none other than the Second Brigade of the Special Operations Division, Colonel Li Bing.
Because the Nanshan ** army expanded too fast, Jiang Haoran would never allow anyone to parachute his own troops as commanders, all the officers were cultivated by themselves, resulting in many people soaring into the sky, jumping many levels in a row, Li Bing was still a senior soldier when he was with Jiang Haoran, and now he has been promoted to colonel in more than half a year, which is already very against the sky, thanks to Jiang Haoran is still only a lieutenant general, if Jiang Haoran is a general, then the division commander should be a lieutenant general, and he is a major general, but Nanshan ** There is really no one in the army who is serious about this, and if they don't let them kill devils, they won't do it to a general, but if they can be both generals and devils, that's another matter.
As soon as the battle of Jigong Mountain started, Hong Tianlei's call came, and the cowhide blew loudly, only saying that Li Bing'an should sleep peacefully, as long as the devils passed by him in front of the battle, don't think about it.
In fact, as soon as the gunshots rang out, Li Bing could hear it clearly, and of course he would not sleep peacefully, this defense line of several kilometers longs and horizontals, there were several large and small mountain beams in the middle, and less than a quarter of the area defended by Hong Tianlei would be the most fierce frontier of the war here.
The brigade command post was built in a mountain col, connected to the trench, and repeatedly reinforced with logs and sand and gravel, as long as it was not directly hit by aerial bombs, basically safety was not a problem, Li Bing just wanted the soldiers to know that he was on the front line, and this battle was fought to live and die with the position, and everyone had no way to retreat.
In fact, every soldier understands the meaning of this battle, behind him is the 331 base, which is the lifeblood of their commander, even if he dies, the commander will not leave the 331 base, just for this, they are willing to throw their heads and spill blood.
Although it is not a long time to join the Nanshan ** army, but this kind of army with equal officers and soldiers and morale like a rainbow infects everyone who joins, plus the battle of Dawei Mountain, they completely annihilated the Japanese army, a reorganized division and regiment became famous in a war, and became a heroic unit and steel army in the hearts of the people of the whole country, so they will not discredit the honor they have just won, and the best people have the strongest sense of honor, not to mention, they also hold the highest military salary in the country - soldiers have twenty oceans every month.
The soldiers in camouflage uniforms stood in their respective combat positions, and there was not a single superfluous sound in the entire trench, except for the footsteps of the logistics staff and heralds.
But it is strange that there are not many people in the continuous trenches, and most of the weapons are machine guns, machine guns, small-caliber infantry guns, and even the AK47s that are conventionally equipped by special operations divisions are not seen.
At the foot of the mountain is a wide paddy field, the rice has not yet reached the ripening season, and it is still green, but half of the seedlings are submerged in the water, and there is a large reservoir about a kilometer behind the Biandan Mountain -- the Dajing Reservoir. As early as two days ago, Li Bing ordered his soldiers to open the sluice gates of the reservoir and build a dam to fill it with water, hoping that this muddy patch would cause some trouble for the Japanese army.
"The order goes down, the devil is coming, there is no order not to shoot, put the devil close and shoot again!" Li Bing suddenly withdrew his gaze from the artillery mirror, turned to the herald and said awe-inspiringly.
"Yes!" The herald snapped and turned to leave.
Guo Wenfu, chief of staff of the Second Brigade, put his eyes on the artillery mirror as soon as he was on his waist, and then shouted in his mouth: "Yo, this little Japan is getting more and more generous, and how many people should be there when they come up?" Yikes! I saw the Japanese flag, it seems to be the second division of the Japanese army? "
"Go away, I'll see!" Li Bing pushed Guo Wenfu aside as he spoke, pouted his ass and looked at it for a long time before getting up, and said loudly: "The little devil really looks up to us, and it is the elite second division as soon as he comes up!" This battle has to be fought! "
The Second Division of the Japanese Army and the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army are claimed to be the most elite divisions of the Japanese army, and at the same time, they are also a unit stained with the blood of the Chinese; during the Sino-Japanese War, it was the main force that captured Weihaiwei; in 1931 it was the main culprit in the "918" invasion of the three eastern provinces; during the war of aggression against China, he, as the backbone of the Kwantung Army, committed many evil deeds against China.
Guo Wenfu continued: "Yes, we have to be more vigilant, the commander of the second division is the Japanese Lieutenant General Imamura Jun, this person graduated from the Japanese Army University, received a sword from the emperor, and the commander of the Japanese 27th Division was killed by the military seat Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu was a classmate at the same time, successively served as the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, the commander of the 57th Infantry Wing, and the commander of the 40th Brigade Nogi Noshinori is the founder of the most famous tactic of the Japanese army - the 'pig assault tactic', so the soldiers of this second division are outright militarists, and they are absolutely desperate to fight a war, and they are the best at night attacks. "
"Hehe, your chief of staff is not bad, he really deserves to be hand-picked by the senator, he knows so much, but he is too grinding, I don't care who he is, as long as he dares to come, Lao Tzu will dare to kill him!"
Li Bing looked disdainful, Guo Wenfu frowned, and was about to say something, when a piercing scream suddenly sounded outside.
"Oh no, enemy shelling!"
As soon as Li Bing's words fell, the rumbling explosion suddenly rang out, and the entire position was once again shrouded in flames.
The shelling lasted 15 minutes before stopping, and by the time Li Bing looked again, the Japanese were only a few hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain under the cover of artillery fire.
Because the area is relatively wide, and it is a field of rice fields with an unobstructed view, the small force is completely sent to death, and the Japanese army cannot afford to consume time, so it has no intention of making a tentative attack at all, according to the intelligence of aerial reconnaissance, ** There are not many troops in the defense line of Biandan Mountain, so the Japanese army is more than 7,000 people, two elite infantry wings, hoping to crush it in one fell swoop**.
Looking at the locust-like Japanese army under the mountain, Li Bing unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Walkie-talkie!" "
The orderly immediately took out his walkie-talkie and handed it over.
Li Bing took the walkie-talkie and adjusted the frequency, and then shouted: "Attention of all units, the heavy firepower will fire first, attract the enemy's firepower, fight!" "
With Li Bing's hoarse howl, the sound of fried bean-like gunfire rang out, and they were all light and heavy machine guns, machine guns, and, of course, small-caliber artillery of battalions, companies, and platoons were also fired at a rapid pace.
