Chapter 106: Brotherly Love (Part II)
"Quick...... Climb into the bomb hole...... Quick"
The old cow cried out loudly with all his strength, otherwise his soldiers would not be able to hear the explosion. As soon as the old cow finished shouting, he pulled the cow baby with one hand, crawled to a cat ear hole two meters away, the cow baby's marksmanship is accurate, but the battlefield experience is still insufficient, the cow baby and the old cow's two uncles and nephews quickly climbed to the cat's ear hole, this cat's ear hole is one meter deeper than the trench, basically a slope, the two uncles and nephews are directly rolled into the trench. Then two more soldiers rolled in.
The Japanese artillery fire was extremely fierce, the pentagram defensive position was filled with gunsmoke, and the dust produced by the explosion obscured the sky and the sun, and the Japanese concentrated all the artillery of the two divisions and regiments to bombard the defensive position fiercely, and many places in the trenches in the position were blown up, and some places became a new hiding point because of the craters created by the explosion of the shells. The Japanese artillery fire was fierce, but their power was not very great because the caliber was not large, so the killing effect on the soldiers in the defensive position was not great, not to mention that the soldiers in the defensive position were hiding in the cat's ear hole reinforced with steel plates.
The use of two steel plates to build a field artillery hole has been fully promoted in the German army at this time, and the practical effect is good! The cannon is still very big to the naked infantry, especially the attacking enemy, will definitely use very fierce artillery fire to attack the position of the defending side, this cat ear hole built with steel plate is very huge, Li Mo invented this cat ear hole in the German army is well received.
The fierce shelling of the Japanese army only lasted for more than ten minutes before it stopped, and as soon as the shelling stopped, a rapid whistle sounded in the trenches, which was the order of everyone to take their places, and Lao Niu hurriedly took his men to climb out of the cat's ear hole and ran to his combat post.
Not far away, the strength of a large group of Japanese troops is slowly approaching, accompanied by these Japanese charges are more than a dozen Type 95 and 97 tanks, these tanks weighing 7.5 tons and 15 tons are already the most advanced tanks in Japan, Japan is an island country with a lack of resources, this nature determines that it is impossible for him to develop the steel torrent of the navy and the army at the same time.
Stein smiled secretly when he saw this, it seems that little Japan still doesn't know that there are artillery in his position, and now let him know what it's like for artillery to hit tanks, and the soldiers on his side also need a little victory encouragement.
"Order the artillery to shell the enemy's thin-skinned tanks."
The devil's tank tactics are still at the stage of supporting infantry operations, and the German "blitzkrieg" is simply a child, the devil's tank is cautiously advancing with the infantry at this time, step by step, slowly, the speed will not exceed three kilometers per hour, such a slow speed, for artillery is no different from stationary.
When the little Japanese advanced to a distance of six or seven hundred meters, the 75-mm howitzers in the defensive positions rang out, and the explosion company of the "boom ......" was continuous, and the power of the 75-mm cannon was not very great, but the power of the infantry used to bombard the exposed was still enough, as for those Japanese tanks, the 75-mm howitzers were curved guns, and they could only be covered shots, and if the devil's tank was hit by a shell, the tank would directly become various parts, The little devil's tank chain can't carry a single 75mm howitzer shell.
"Yo Xi, the Flying Eagle Legion really has artillery, let the soldiers retreat, and concentrate artillery fire to bombard the center of the pentagram defensive position, where is the enemy's artillery position."
Lieutenant General Tani said to the chief of staff beside him while observing. Gu Shoufu is a lieutenant general, and his command ability is even more prominent, of course, this old devil is also very cunning, and the first attack was sent out by him to test it. The artillery bombardment of the Flying Eagle Legion just now only caused him to lose more than a hundred soldiers and two tanks, but this is nothing to Gu Shoufu, who has more than forty tanks.
The devil retreated quickly, Stein saw that the devil retreated, and he didn't want to waste the shells, so he immediately stopped the shelling, and let his soldiers enter the cat's ear hole in advance, sure enough, a few minutes later, the little Japanese began to shell, but this time the shelling did not fall indiscriminately in the defensive position, but all fell in the center of the defensive position. The little devil's shells smashed down in the center of the defensive position like they had eyes, and the explosions of "boom ......" came and went, and the soil covering the artillery position was blown up all over the sky, even if the steel plate was covered with one or two meters of soil, it could not withstand the continuous bombardment for several minutes, and Stein, who had no choice, had to order the artillery to abandon the central position, and sure enough, twenty minutes after the Japanese concentrated more than 100 cannons to bombard the artillery position of the Flying Eagle Corps, The artillery position in the center of the five-pointed star ring defensive position was destroyed by Japanese artillery fire.
The Japanese army has two divisions, if you only attack one side, you can only have one brigade at a time, and you can put five offensive brigades at one time, which is almost equivalent to the scale of the attack of 4,000 people, and behind these five attacking divisions are two batches of replacement brigades, that is to say, there are ten brigades of about 8,000 people who are ready to replace the attacking brigades, and more than 50 Tuckers are all put into the attack, and each attack surface has ten tanks, With such a large force, Tani Shofu did not believe that this infantry regiment of the Flying Eagle Legion could hold out for several hours. ** The German mechanic Gu Shoufu did not believe that the Chinese soldiers commanded by the Germans would become a tiger army.
Stein's mechanized infantry regiment has three battalions, each battalion has three 37-mm anti-tank guns, the regimental headquarters has three, Stein has a total of twelve anti-tank guns, these anti-tank guns can be arranged in the front edge of the position, each anti-tank gun has a special anti-gun hole, when it is necessary to use it, five fighters directly pull it out, 37 anti-tank guns are only more than 400 kilograms, five fighters can easily move. The Japanese shelling stopped, and these 37-mm anti-tank guns were quietly pulled out.
Gu Shoufu fought the Flying Eagle Legion as the first German armorer, destined to break his head and bleed, the Flying Eagle Legion is all automatic weapons, there are ten P35 submachine guns in one class, one MG42 machine gun, not to mention other heavy weapons, and the ammunition is enough, so the little devil's 38 big cover still dares to collide with the P35 and MG42 in the trenches? That's too much to die. As for the devil's crooked light machine gun, it was the most rubbish light machine gun in the world in World War II, don't say it, shame.
Lao Niu and Niu Wa came to their combat posts, Lao Niu was the squad leader, and counted his class, at this time there were still ten people left in his class, and only two brothers were killed, and the attrition was not very serious. Lao Niu found the remains of the two dead brothers, everyone is a fellow villager, just now they were talking and laughing together, and now it is Yin and Yang separated, the eyes of the two brothers did not close, the devil did not kill any of them, they died, I think it was a little unwilling, Lao Niu gently helped the eyes of the two brothers with his calloused hands, and muttered to himself:
"O my brother! You're going all the way! When this battle is over, I will cremate you, and let the post-trustee send you back to our hometown, don't worry, as long as my old cow is here, I will not let you become a lonely ghost. ”
