Boom, boom, boom! In the left, center, and right directions, under the cover of dust and smoke, the anti-aircraft artillery opened fire one after another in the concealed bunkers, and the Japanese tanks were shot one after another, emitting smoke and fire, and becoming a pile of scrap metal.

After a temporary pause in confusion, the devil infantry did not retreat, but looked for concealment on the spot, firing fiercely at the embankment, and the grenadiers also looked for targets and fired small shells. Behind, the devil's artillery roared again, and it seemed to be even more fierce than just now.

Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, the devil's artillery and machine guns were fired at full speed, which was the prelude to the charge. At a distance of 100 meters, you can rush over in an instant by the bombardment of machine guns and artillery fire, and directly enter white-knuckle battles and grenade battles, which are also common tactics used by the Japanese army.

Boom, boom, boom...... Behind the embankment on the north side, on both flanks, the 82 mortars suddenly roared, and the range was not inferior to that of the Japanese infantry guns. Shells smashed into the devil's artillery position one after another, and the devil's artillery fire suddenly weakened in the smoke and dust.

With the sound of a whistle, the defenders jumped out of the hiding holes on the anti-slope, climbed up the embankment along the dug foot-pit, entered the trench fortifications, and laid out all kinds of weapons.

While the artillery counterattacked, the devils had already launched a charge, but they found that they were caught in a terrible minefield. Jumping mines, which would explode and burst out with shrapnel when stepped on, were laid out in the direction they were heading. Explosions, clouds of gunpowder smoke and dirt, fires after explosions, and the screams of wounded devils filled the battlefield.

The well-disguised heavy machine gun made a terrifying sound of tearing linen. Crossing, side-firing, dense and ferocious firepower, immediately shrouded the devils within 100 meters in the fire net.

The devils are tenacious, they brave the rain of bullets, bend their bodies, crawl forward, run, lie down, jump up again, and continue to rush forward.

"Rush forward! Rush up!" Private Kobayashi heard the squad leader's hissing shout, but an explosion followed, and the squad leader's voice disappeared.

There was shouting, screaming, gunfire and explosions, and there were fallen soldiers everywhere. Some died on the spot, while others were crying out pitifully for help.

Oh, Nagano, he'll never be bothered by migraines again. Xiao Lin saw his fellow villagers who had been beaten terribly by shrapnel, but his face was strangely uninjured, and he fell to the ground miserably. A wounded soldier was howling, from the knee to the pelvis, and the wound was neat, as if it had been cut by a surgeon with a scalpel. The wound was so deep that Kobayashi could even clearly see the pulse of the femoral artery.

On the embankment, light and heavy weapons were fired at the same time, forming a rain of bullets, and the skillful tactical movements of the devil also lost their effect, even if they were lying on the ground, they would be hit by condescending bullets.

Kobayashi finally rushed to the end of his life, and his tactical movements came to an abrupt halt, feeling as if his chest had been pierced by a red-hot iron drill. He couldn't control his legs, and they twitched involuntarily, like the convulsions of dead men he had ever seen. He knew that he was going to die, but he was not reconciled, and he began to cry for help, calling for his mother. A grenade fell, and shrapnel slashed half of Kobayashi's head.

The covering firepower of the devils was completely suppressed, and the 92 heavy machine guns, crooked handles, and 96 light machine guns were inferior to the slaughtering chainsaws in terms of rate of fire and range, not to mention the accurate bombardment of 60 mortars and grenade launchers.

It is also very important that the defenders also have a condescending advantage. Yang Tianfeng dared to hide the infantry in the second line and try to avoid the killing of artillery, because even if the devils attacked under the embankment, it would be very time-consuming and difficult to climb more than seven meters high. Although there are several ascending stairs on the levee, it is a deliberately left trap to trap the enemy, and it is defended by strong firepower and troops.

Han Da grabbed the trigger of the machine gun in his hand and continued to shoot. The noise was deafening, but the Heavy was immersed in the thrill of the killing. He didn't know how many devils he had hit, but he saw them fall one after another. He had often imagined what it would be like to kill an enemy with this weapon, but now he understood that it was very simple.

The combination of point fire and strafing, Han Dashou has not forgotten the essentials learned in the machine gunner emergency training class, and he simply likes to die against this crazy machine gun.

The devil's charge was repulsed, and to be exact, only a few people fled back. From within 100 meters to more than 500 meters, the terrible "tearing cloth" has been ringing, taking the lives of countless devils.

The sporadic gunfire had not stopped, and the defenders were killing the wounded soldiers who had fallen under the embankment, as well as the survivors hiding in the piles of corpses.

The setting sun was only half a face, casting a dark red afterglow on a battlefield full of corpses, guns, stumps, broken arms, and broken parts.

Kurosawa was hit in the face, and due to his ignorance of the enemy situation and the haste of the attack, not only did he suffer considerable losses in artillery and artillery, but almost all of his nearly 300 officers and men were killed. Although this is not the first time in the history of his conquest. But such a short-term fiasco surprised him.

"Back off for now." Kurosawa didn't dare to go on "fiercely" anymore, since the enemy had 82 mortars, if he wanted to suppress the enemy, he had to wait for the brigade to come immediately and bombard it with 75mm guns.

But Kurosawa didn't give up, his heavily watered brain was still spinning, brewing an attack that he thought would save face.

……………

Tiny clouds made small white waves in the light blue sky, and the sun had already peeked out from behind the mountaintops, intermingling the warmth of a few rays of light with the coolness of the dying night.

Tanaka's face was gloomy, and the good weather did not make him feel good. In the field of view of the telescope, the corpses of soldiers lying miserably in the muddy water were scattered under the embankment.

That's right, this is the end of the "fuzzy operation" planned by Kurosawa in the middle of the night. It was dark enough in the middle of the night, and Kurosawa set off smoke grenades again to obscure the other party's vision, so that your gun would not be able to hit and the cannon would not be able to explode.

No matter how hard a brain-dead guy tries, he's still brain-dead. In an environment where you can't see your fingers, it is not the defenders who are confused and unable to distinguish between the west and the east, but the attacking Japanese army. Moreover, the Japanese army also fell into an insidious trap in front of the embankment.

As soon as it got dark, the defenders quietly released water, turning the area within 100 meters of the levee into a muddy swamp. The devil who carried out the fuzzy operation was even more caught off guard at this moment, and his vision was not clear. Under the embankment, it became a clumsy target, and several incendiary mortar shells lit up the struggling little monsters, and the dense rain of bullets tore the devils to pieces one by one.

Kurosawa stood behind Tanaka, his fat head turning slowly, his big eyes moving from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"The attack was too hasty." Tanaka snorted, put down the binoculars, and glared fiercely at Kurosawa, the idiot.

"Hello!" Kurosawa stood bowed, paused, and argued again: "The enemy is too cunning, and it is even more a mistake in his position. ”

Tanaka doesn't want to delve into it, and now is not the time to delve into it, but how to solve the problem. Obviously, the enemy had a good position, and according to Kurosawa and others, the fire was also fierce. This is to face a choice, whether to continue the onslaught and capture Yucheng first; Or do you want to besiege it first and attack it directly?

After a short period of thought, Tanaka reluctantly found that although there seemed to be two choices, the latter was basically unrealistic. If you besiege but not attack, how many troops should be left behind in the besieging city? If you leave too much, the forces attacking Shangqiu will be thin; If you leave less, in case the enemy backs up, the consequences will be serious.

"It's your brigade that attacks." Tanaka Ken stretched out his finger and pointed at Kurosawa and said, "I will mobilize all artillery to provide support and cover." ”

"Hello!" Kurosawa was in good spirits, and although the loss was not small, he did not admit defeat, and with more powerful artillery support, he felt that he had an opportunity to reverse his image.

"You have to change your tactics, you have to use your brains." Tanaka finally had some other understanding of Kurosawa, a fierce general, and was a little uneasy, so he groaned for a while and said, "You tell me the process of the attack again." ”

After listening carefully and carefully to Kurosawa's account, Tanaka readjusted, mainly the setting of the artillery position, which was much farther away, so that the enemy's 82 mortar could not pose a threat.

The Type 94 75mm mountain gun solves the instability of the maximum range/maximum elevation angle of the Type 41 mountain gun in the past, and after the same gun carriage is adopted, the directional firing range is greatly increased. At the same time, it increased the firing range by one kilometer compared to the Type 41 mountain gun, but the total weight did not increase, mainly thanks to the use of advanced technologies such as self-tightening tubes.

In terms of firing range, the Type 94 mountain gun is more than several times higher than the 82 mortar, and nearly a kilometer farther than the 120 heavy gun. Of course, this refers to the maximum range, which usually does not swing so far.

Therefore, this is also the reason for the large casualties of the anti-Japanese armed forces in frontal combat. The artillery bombardment of the devils can only be passively beaten, but there is no weapon to counteract. Moreover, this is not counting the devil's heavier caliber and more powerful heavy artillery.

However, the defenders also had their own advantages, and the hidden trenches and holes built on the anticline of the moat made it difficult for the enemy's mountain artillery to hit here. As for curved artillery, the 92 infantry gun and the 81 mortar can, of course, but the 82 mortar can also suppress the counterattack and make it difficult to get close.

That's right, the defensive plan designed by Yang Tianfeng is still a refueling tactic. However, there are not many troops left on the embankment, but the machine guns and battle defense artillery bunkers built are very strong, which is enough to resist the devils for a while and buy time for the follow-up troops to enter the position.

Moreover, there is also a trench dug under the embankment, and by virtue of the height of the embankment, a barrier similar to a cliff is formed, and the trench below is four meters deep and five meters wide, much like a miniature version of Fang Tianjue's trench. Although it is a miniature version, it is easier to fool the devil and feel that it is easy to jump over.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!" Shells constantly fell on the embankment and exploded, and the shelling became more and more intense. The sound of the explosion mingled like a vague sound of thunder. (To be continued.) )
