Under the cover of nearly 30 heavy machine guns, more than 1,000 Japanese troops, armed with rifles, rushed to the position of the Fourth Division, which was still shrouded in gunsmoke. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing the tongues of fire fired by dozens of heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, a dense network of fire was instantly woven over their own defense lines.

Division Commander Li Zhilong decisively ordered: "Three mountain artillery battalions, concentrate artillery fire, and destroy the Japanese heavy machine guns!" The infantry was always ready to counterattack, and as soon as the Japanese heavy machine guns were destroyed, they immediately opened fire! ”

"Woooooooooo......oo Boom Boom! "In less than a minute, the scream of shells across the sky was heard over the battlefield.

Immediately after, a violent explosion sounded from the Japanese heavy machine gun position.

More than 50 mountain artillery guns fired at targets several hundred meters away, and even without the help of skilled Lao Maozi gunners, the gunners of the Liaodong Army of the mountain artillery battalion could accurately shoot at the target.

Therefore, more than 50 mountain artillery shells were all smashed into the Japanese heavy machine gun position in less than a few seconds.

In the violent explosion, more than a dozen heavy machine guns were blown to the ground on the spot, along with the gunners.

Combined with the heavy machine guns that were affected by other reasons, two-thirds of the heavy machine guns in the two heavy machine gun squadrons were directly muted in an instant.

Heavy machine guns, which were not affected, were spared, and a very unexpected ceasefire was also achieved.

The Japanese soldiers who operated these heavy machine guns understood that under such heavy artillery fire, even if they were alive now, they would still not be able to hide when the second or even the third round of shells came over.

No one was not afraid of death, and these Japanese heavy machine gunners were no exception. In their view, no matter what the future holds, it is the most important thing for people to live.

Therefore, their first thought when they reacted from the shock was to retreat, quickly leave here, dodge the second round of shells fired by the Liaodong Army, and pass down first. As for what military laws and regulations, they have long been forgotten.

As soon as the remaining heavy machine gunners retreated, the fire net above the heads of the 4th Division disappeared.

On the position, which was still shrouded in gunsmoke, there was no movement just now, and now a dense row of human heads suddenly appeared.

A very heavy machine gun and light machine gun were quickly set up in the machine gun position where the position was not blown up.

"Shoot!" As soon as the regiment commander gave the order, the battalion and company commander below followed and ordered.

Dozens of light and heavy machine guns were the first to speak, and as soon as the dense gunfire rang out, strings of bullets intertwined in front of the formation to form an impermeable network of firepower.

The more than 1,000 Japanese troops who continued to attack would be knocked to the ground by bullets as soon as they hit this firepower net.

At this time, riflemen of one or two thousand people also began to shoot.

The bullets they shoot are not dense, but they are tricky, and the bullets fired by veterans are almost flesh-biting except for new recruits.

Under such intensive firepower interception, every **** Japanese soldier was covered with bloody holes, like a hornet's nest, which was particularly terrifying.

"Baga, why are there so many defenders on the position, didn't our artillery kill and wound them?" The chief of staff of the brigade, who was taken aback by the sudden dense fire from the position, was shocked and unbelievable because he was fighting the Liaodong Army for the first time.

The brigade commander replied with a gloomy face: "Anti-artillery holes, the Liaodong Army must have built a large number of anti-artillery holes on the position!" ”

"Before departure, the General Headquarters reported that the Liaodong Army was the best at using anti-artillery holes. Unless large-caliber heavy artillery is used, ordinary artillery can't help the Liaodong Army hiding in the anti-artillery hole. ”

"So how are we going to fight? Artillery is not the opponent of the Liaodong Army, it is going to be over! The Liaodong Army has such powerful firepower on the position, relying only on the infantry, it can't rush their firepower to intercept it at all! The chief of staff who reacted couldn't help but complain loudly, his tone full of anger and grievances!

"If you can't rush over, you have to rush!" The brigade commander blurted out without thinking about it.

"You and I both know the importance of the heavy artillery brigade to the empire, in the eyes of the empire, for the sake of the heavy artillery brigade, even if our brigade is all wiped out, it will be worth it!"

"Therefore, what we have to consider now is not whether the troops can break through the Liaodong Army's interception, but how to break through the Liaodong Army's defense line and enter the Liaodong Army's heavy artillery position at the lowest cost!"

"Yaga!" The chief of staff couldn't help but curse again.

After finishing, he frowned and proposed: "The Liaodong Army has artillery support, and the firepower on the defensive line is not weaker than ours. Concentrate one point to break through, and they will be able to concentrate all their firepower on our attacking forces! “

"It's like now, under the fierce fire of the defenders' artillery, light and heavy machine guns, and rifles, our men don't even have a chance to fight back, they can only be slaughtered!"

"Chief of Staff, what do you mean?" The brigade commander also knew that it was not a way to fight like this, so he hurriedly asked the chief of staff.

"Divide the troops and make a hard assault, disperse the defensive firepower and strength of the defenders, only in this way can we have a chance to make a breakthrough in the defense line of the Liaodong Army!"

The brigade commander's eyes were on his face, and he quickly affirmed: "That's it!" Chief of Staff, you go and arrange it right away! ”

"I will immediately send someone to report the situation here to the division commander, even if we want to retreat, we will wait for the division commander to give us an order!"

Two infantry brigades, in front of the 4th Division, were about to lose more than half of them.

The Japanese not only did not retreat, but rushed out two more infantry brigades.

What Li Zhilong didn't understand the most was that these two brigades did not go to reinforce the attacking troops who had already lost more than half of the battlefield. Instead, it split into two and quickly slashed at both flanks of the defensive line. ”

Li Zhilong was stunned for a moment, then reacted suddenly, and shouted at Xiao Bing: "The Japanese army is cunning enough, multi-way assault, scatter our forces and firepower!" ”

"If we only have one regiment, there is really pressure on such an attack. But we are now a division, and the two regiments on both flanks of the defense line were worried that there would be no fight, so they took the initiative to ram the muzzles of the guns of these two regiments. ”

Seeing that other troops were eating meat, there was not even a single Japanese soldier in front of his position.

The two regiments on both flanks of the position, eager for military exploits, were both aggrieved and helpless.

Now, there are Japanese troops attacking themselves, and the officers and men of the two regiments are like hungry wolves smelling blood, staring at the Japanese troops in front of the battle with bright eyes, waiting for the order to shoot.

Li Jun, the commander of the third regiment on the left flank of the defensive position, shouted with bright eyes: "Finally waited for them!" Get the brothers ready for battle! ”

"Commander, how are you going to fight?" The chief of staff also had a twinkle in his eyes and hurriedly asked.

Li Jun thought about it and replied: "The Japanese army attacking us has only one infantry brigade, of course we want to annihilate them all!" ”

"Inform the winning companies that the Japanese can only shoot after rushing to a hundred meters! The heavy machine guns of the Japanese army have mountain artillery battalions to clean up! After the start of the battle, light and heavy machine guns and rifles, concentrated fire to kill and injure the Japanese attacking troops! (To be continued.) )
