Chapter 111: Positional Warfare

Unbeknownst to Ueno, Kamefu had landed his precious heavy cannonball like fireworks in the clearing, and had gained nothing but a series of deep pits.

After going back and forth for a while, no matter how careful he was, he lost three or four hundred people, but he didn't even touch the edge of the first trench of the Zhina army. Ueno Kamefu was about to launch a further attack, and Lin Mizuo, the captain of the field artillery brigade, had already hurried over.

"Lin Miaojun, is there something wrong, has it already essentially destroyed the artillery of the Zhina Army?" Ueno Kamifu asked with a not very good face.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, according to my experience, the artillery of the Chinese Army is playing hide and seek with us, and after they finish fighting once, they will immediately transfer their positions, and the shells we fired before are likely to be wasted, and it is useless to continue this kind of attack, the heavy artillery is not easy to move, and if we continue to fight, my heavy artillery will probably be captured by the artillery of the Chinese Army, and then the gains will outweigh the losses." Lin Mianzuo raised his eyelids and said.

"What do you think?" Ueno Kamifu asked rhetorically.

"Unless it is a large-scale offensive, this kind of temptation of small forces will not be of much use. The ammunition of the Chinese army is very abundant,

We can't afford it. A large-scale offensive will undoubtedly expose the firepower of the Chinese army.

Temptations below the squadron, as long as the opponent maintains this level of artillery coverage, can repel the attack of our troops. Lin Mianzuo made a very serious point.

Ueno Kamefu nodded cautiously, and also realized that a small fight was indeed like tickling, and it was a cloudy day now, and if they didn't seize the opportunity, when the weather cleared, the fortifications of the Shina Army would be stronger, not to mention, and more difficult groups of planes would also appear above their heads and bombard indiscriminately.

"Onboard!"

As Ueno Kamifu and Lin Mizuo's consciousness reached an agreement, an infantry brigade was pressed to the front line, in order to cover the attack of the ground troops, dozens of Type 38 field artillery, the mountain artillery opened fire one after another, and Lin Mizuo's heavy artillery was like a fierce beast hidden in the shadows, ready to jump out and bite the target at any time.

A brigade of 1,000 Japanese troops pounced on the position of the 7th Brigade on a long front. Mortars fired repeatedly.

In a bunker at the corner, a small slope of dirt rises up to open the bunker's field of view. ...... click, the heavy machine gun hidden in the pillbox opened fire suddenly, and the tongue of fire that spewed out the six or seven Japanese soldiers who were crawling forward in front of them died one after another. The Japanese returned fire with bullets that splashed fine slag on the concrete and red brick fortifications, but this level of attack was of no avail, and the machine guns continued to strafe with impunity.

"Hurry up, infantry artillery, grenadiers, knock out the fire point of the Chinese army!" The Japanese squadron leader ordered angrily, and he also lay on the ground and didn't dare to lift his head, damn it,

After fighting for so long, I have never encountered such a difficult thorn.

Tom tom ...

The Japanese army's reaction speed is quite fast, and the range of the 89-type grenadier can also get this pillbox, several grenades have fallen on the pillbox one after another, the killing radius of this small grenade is not bad, but the projectile ammunition means that the penetration is not enough, if it is not for the fact that the pillbox has not been built for a long time, it can't even splash much cement slag.

Rumble!

AFTER MISSING THREE SHOTS, THE SHELLS OF THE FLAT-FIRING INFANTRY GUNS SMASHED ON THE PILLBOX THROUGH A DISTANCE OF SIX OR SEVEN HUNDRED METERS, AND WITH A BANG, A SMALL CRATER WAS BLOWN OUT ON IT, REVEALING THE BROKEN BRICKS INSIDE, WHICH CAUSED A CERTAIN DEGREE OF OPERATION TO THE PILLBOX, BUT THE LETHALITY OF THE 37MM CALIBER ARTILLERY WAS STILL LIMITED, AND IT COULD NOT BE GNAWED WHEN ENCOUNTERING A STRONGER FORTIFICATION. The Japanese army's classic Type 92 infantry cannon has not yet been mass-equipped to the troops at this time, and even after several ** rounds hit the pillbox, the machine gunner Wang Faqun in the pillbox buzzed with his eardrums, shook his head, and after a slight pause, continued to maintain the output of firepower.

IN THE FACE OF THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE JAPANESE ARMY, THE DEFENDERS ON THE POSITION WERE NOT UNSTOPPABLE, AND COMPARED TO THE 75MM MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY, THE DENSITY OF MORTARS WAS ESPECIALLY EXCESSIVE.

The crisp and compact mortars swept through, and the previous Japanese guns were all drowned in the firelight. The Japanese soldiers all around fell to the ground.

Occasionally, grenades from Japanese counterattacks fell into the trenches, killing several defenders.

At this time, the Japanese army was still more than 500 meters away from the new trench, and the bullets on the 38 large covers at this distance were a little fluttering, and even if the Japanese army's shooting was accurate, without a scope, this distance would have little effect. At this time, the exchange of fire was carried out by mortars, grenadiers and other infantry support fire.

Bang! Comparatively speaking, the few snipers lurking around the trench did not have this scruple at this time.

Damn, it was missed. Xu Baoshan pouted, like Ma Dongsheng, he was also born in Orion, he was born with a good eyesight, he hunted in the mountains all the year round, and his marksmanship was also first-class, the distance of three or four hundred meters was not a problem, but five hundred meters was a little bit uncaught, the gun was a good gun, and the quality of the German Mauser 98 before World War II was the best, and the accuracy was higher than that of the 38 cover.

After the bullet was fired, the target was still alive, Xu Baoshan scolded in a low voice, but most of the sniper team was on the same level as him, and I am afraid that only the freak in the brigade seat could do 100 shots at this distance.

Fortunately, at such a distance, the Japanese troops in front of them were group after group, and there was still a chance.

In the sound of machine guns roaring on both sides, the sound of shells exploding one after another, Xu Baoshan calmed down, capturing a grenadier Japanese soldier in his sight, the maximum range of the 89-type grenadier is nearly 700 meters, which has surpassed the heavy machine gun, and what is even more difficult is that the accuracy rate of these Japanese veterans is amazingly high, and seven or eight out of ten rounds can hit the new trench, which has brought a lot of casualties to the defenders in the new trench. Fortunately, most of the trenches were separated by walls every few meters, and the lethality of grenades entering the trenches was very limited. Otherwise, the small steel cannon with a radius of eight meters may not be as powerful as those large-caliber guns, but in fact, the killing and wounding of soldiers will not be below it.

Tong!

Another grenade was fired, and when the Japanese veteran was about to continue to reload, Xu Baoshan pulled the trigger again, bang!

The bullet passed through a space of several hundred meters and pierced into the chest of the Japanese soldier, causing the future to fall to the ground in pain due to the severe pain, and the grenade that had been placed in the grenadier was also left to the side because the Japanese soldier could no longer hold the grenadier. The flames suddenly rose, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers next to them screamed and fell in the explosion.

"Well played!" The soldiers next to him shouted excitedly, all of them looked at Xu Baoshan with envy, envied Xu Baoshan's marksmanship, and also envied the good gun in the other party's hand, which was polished and shiny, and there was a scope on it, which was more than twice as good as the Fengtian-made rifle in his hand.

Xu Baoshan ignored the views of the soldiers next to him, separated by a distance of more than five hundred meters,

It was the first time he hit the target,

This time he surpassed the previous record and made him very excited, and he felt a little bit, Xu Baoshan pointed his gun at the next target, the Japanese army Cao, bang, bang... After a series of shootings, more than ten Japanese soldiers fell under Xu Baoshan's guns one after another.

Xu Baoshan has a record of killing at least twenty-seven people, and one person almost reimburses the opponent's team.

It's time to change positions, the Japanese also have elite shooters, who will soon be eyeing here, or retaliate with artillery, according to the words of the brigade seat, it is better for snipers to shoot a shot or two in urban warfare to change places. It is now on the chaotic battlefield that Xu Baoshan postponed the time to change places. After seeing Jiang Li take action in person, Xu Baoshan, like everyone else, took Jiang Li's words as if they were holy decrees.
