Chapter 96, Tentative Attack
The shelling on the opposite side lasted for 10 minutes, but in these ten minutes, all 36 105mm howitzers of one of his artillery wings were gone, and now there is only one independent mortar brigade left in the entire artillery wing, equipped with 12 150mm heavy mortars and 12 75mm field guns, which makes him want to cry without tears, a whole artillery wing, it's gone, no revenge, to counterattack. This is a portrayal of Ushijima's inner life now.
"Report to the General." A Japanese soldier who seemed to have a small position walked in.
"What's the matter?" Ushijima is in a bad mood right now, and his speech is cold, and if the person in front of him doesn't give him a reasonable explanation, he guarantees that this person will die a miserable death.
"The guns of China that attacked our positions and the positions of their positions have been roughly counted."
"Say!"
"Hi, the artillery that attacked the artillery positions of our army is heavy artillery, the caliber is between 150mm ~ 155mm, their artillery positions are about 20 kilometers away from us, and the preliminary statistics of the number of artillery pieces are not less than 100." The more the non-commissioned officer spoke, the quieter his voice became, as his eyes focused on the division commander's face getting darker and darker.
"Get out!" Ushijima roared angrily, and the non-commissioned officer ran out of his tent hand in hand.
"Eight grid tooth road, eight grid tooth road." Ushijima was often walking back and forth in the tent, he could predict that his nephew had already encountered an accident, because he had never been able to contact, so many people's troops, there would not even be a radio, and then in contact with the number and power of this cannon, he didn't expect that Shina could actually come up with so many heavy artillery, before he also received that Shina had heavy artillery, and there was a lot of information, but he was not there, in his opinion it was just an excuse for those who failed, now it seems, The number of artillery pieces is more than the intelligence, so the firepower of the opposing Shina army should be as strong as the intelligence says about you, or even stronger. Thinking of this, he suddenly shouted, "Someone." ”
A guard standing outside the tent walked in when he heard this, "General, what do you have to say?" ”
"You immediately go and inform the people of the 21st Division to come to the meeting." Ushijima said after going back and forth in the tent twice.
"Hey!" The guards answered, and immediately went to do it.
Ushijima often convened people for meetings, what to say, Lu Qiang didn't know, he didn't even know where the Japanese high-level meeting was held, he just saw through the screen that the Japanese artillery position had become a sea of fire, and his heart was dark.
One night, Lu Qiang prevented the Japanese army from losing all his artillery, and the dog jumped over the wall in the middle of the night to make a sneak attack, so all the soldiers slept in clothes, and the guns did not leave their hands, and countless flares were fired in one night, illuminating Lu Qiang's position as bright as day, which led to a very dissatisfied plan that Ushijima, who wanted to carry out a sneak attack, often gave up, but he was still frightened and the enemy on the opposite side had really big hands and feet, so many flares did not need money to fight.
Today the sky is not as bright as usual, after 7 o'clock, the sky is still a little dark and oppressive, and the howling of the cold wind is getting louder and louder.
At 8 o'clock, after the Japanese army was assembled, they rushed to the Luqiang position, but they did not rush to attack, but stopped at the bottom of the hillside.
Now they lack heavy firepower and have lost artillery support, and the next attack will all depend on them to resist with flesh/body, and a few 94 small beans will not work at all.
At 8:30 a.m., the first wave of Japanese squads came to test their firepower, and this squad was all North Korean devils, who were holding rifles and bending down to rush up the mountain.
Landmines were still an indispensable weapon, and the front of the position was covered with all kinds of mines, waiting for the Japanese to step on them.
The two devils who rushed up the hill did not rush to 100 meters, and they stepped on the mine, and the mines that specialized in anti-infantry instantly turned the puppet army bombers of this squad on their backs, especially the crotch killer 72 jumping mine, which specializes in hitting small Dingding, and the two devils who are not tall are not only beaten by Xiao Dingding, but even the abdomen has all turned into mud and become a human/body living sieve.
"Ah~~" A second devil who was lucky enough not to die, rolled on the ground with his crotch covered, and bright red blood flowed out through his clothes. This two devils don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, he was shot by the steel ball that jumped thunder, but he was not killed, survived, maybe he could survive after some treatment, but his little Ding Ding was gone, there was already a blur of flesh and blood, and he was suffering from thousands of times the pain, his face was hideous, his mouth was wide open and panting, his face was very terrifying, and the two devils not far from him saw him with a magnificent face, and he didn't dare to step forward at all.
"Boom!" The two devils who were rolling around undoubtedly touched a landmine, and the instant explosion of the mine killed him and ended his life of crime.
The remaining two devils looked at their companions who were not considered corpses on the ground, and hesitated a little, whether to move forward or not, now they are facing a difficult choice, continue to move forward, I don't know how many mines have been buried in that land, and they are not enough to send them at all.
But if you retreat, there are little devils behind you, and they don't blink an eye when they kill the second devil. So going forward or going backward is a troublesome choice, and it will both die.
Death is nothing to them, they were originally here to be cannon fodder, to die, and their parents are still in the hands of the Japanese, so grit their teeth and move on.
"Boom boom~~~" The mines were detonated one after another, and a team was swallowed up by the mines on the hillside without firing a shot.
But it didn't matter, Ushijima often ordered the 92 infantry artillery to shell the hillside and detonate all the mines. The 6 92nd infantry guns placed there received the order of Ushijima Shichang, and the barrels that were originally raised high were slightly flattened, and then they began to reload their ammunition and fire at the opposite hillside.
The firing density of the six 92 infantry guns was very low, but it was enough, with an average rate of fire of less than 5 seconds per shot, which was also enough to clean up the front of the ground position and accommodate the soldiers to attack.
"Boom, boom!" The 70mm shell flew into the sky, then fell in an arc and exploded, instantly detonating several mines around it.
"The little devil is fighting/cannon." A warrior who did not know the truth shouted.
"It's not hitting us, it's just detonating mines." One of the soldiers beside him calmed him down, and at the same time pinned him to his position, if he did anything, or ran around, it would affect his morale.
The shelling came and went quickly, and it only stopped after two minutes, but it was enough, they almost detonated most of the mines, and then continued to fire, Ushijima was often afraid of attracting the opponent's shells.
After a short shelling, the mines were detonated and then stopped, "Attack!" A Japanese soldier shouted, still the two devils advanced, with a gun, rushing up the mountain.
"Let the heavy mortars fire a few rounds on that hill, and then immediately withdraw." Ushijima Minoru said to one of the non-commissioned officers beside him.
"Hey!" The sergeant officer answered, turned around and went to make arrangements.
In the back, 12 heavy mortars were honestly placed there, and the non-commissioned officer came to the mortar independent brigade to explain the reason for the future.
The mortar detachment, which received the order, immediately began to act, and Zhu Yuan had already calibrated it, as long as the shells were fired.
The 150mm mortar shell was not light, and it was held by the Japanese artilleryman, and he put it down from the muzzle with his feet padd, and then the artilleryman immediately squatted down with his head in his hands.
"Tom!" A ball of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun, the shells were fired, and the 150mm mortar shells screamed through the sky and flew towards the opposite position, at which time, the Japanese soldiers hurriedly dismantled the mortars into parts and transported them away.
12 150mm mortar shells fell on the position, and the explosion killed and injured many people in one fell swoop. At this time, some of the recruits in Lu Qiang's team were a little chaotic, because they had never been shelled, and they had shelled others in the past.
"Be quiet, and see what you have become, just a few shells, and see how scared you are." Seeing some of the recruits who were screaming or shouting to go home in fright, the veterans who had experienced the battle were angry and immediately reprimanded. "If anyone dares to shout and scream again, I will immediately drive him out of the army, and the army should not be cowards and cowards."
This sentence is not small, none of them know how good the food in the army is, and the military is high, they are all here for these things, but now they may be killed at any time, which has to be considered by them. I am reluctant to give up the food in the army, the high-priced military funds, and I am reluctant to give up my seemingly worthless life. For a while, the recruits who were originally chaotic were silent, no longer screaming, and they were still engaged in ideological struggle.
"The devil is coming, fight!" The battalion commander with the highest rank on the position roared, all kinds of guns began to spew tongues of fire, bullets were fired, it was the veterans who climbed on the trench and shot, and the recruits were still squatting in the trenches to press the bullets, and now it was not their turn to shoot, they just experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, like cleaning the battlefield and transporting ammunition, everything had to be handed over to them.
"Bang bang bang ~~~" The 81 bars of continuous firepower will not be able to lie down in the future, and the two devils who lie down will hit a piece at once, but the two devils behind are still rushing forward. With rifles in their hands, they shot at the hill "pop, snap, snap", and regardless of the accuracy, it seemed to be a sound. Although they rushed up very deadly, but in the face of drifting bullets like heavy rain, their charge was as weak as a baby, after being killed, the rest of the two devils did not dare to rush like this, although they did not want to die, but they would not be so stupid to rush forward knowing that they were invincible.
The two devils lay down, there was no target, and the firepower immediately weakened, but the gun grenade began to exert power, and the two devils lay down and lost the target with direct shots, so the curved shot could still hit them. The grenade launcher spewed out a puff of white smoke, and the grenade flew to the top of the two devils' heads, hitting their crowd, the round grenade smoked and rolled down the slope a few times before exploding, several figures were blown up, and then the grenades fell on the heads of the two devils in large quantities, and the two devils were blown up on their backs and retreated in a hurry.
